Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 216

Lu Hao stood in front of the sand table, looking all the way north to the grassland beyond the Great Wall.

Last night, he learned about the situation of the major tribes outside the Great Wall from Gongsun Meng, and began to pay attention to the situation outside the Great Wall.

It was true that Gongsun Meng asked him to help take revenge, but this girl had something to hide.

Now it seems that we need to immediately increase the espionage work on the major tribes in the north to avoid being caught off guard.

Then, his eyes moved down to the vast and fertile Qiannan Plain, and his eyes fell on Liuyang City.

The person stationed here is Xuanyuan Lingyu’s brother Xuanyuan Hongzhi.

Opposite this isolated city is the Sui Empire, which is sharpening its sword and planning to conquer the Central Plains in the north.

The southernmost part of the Sui Empire was the powerful Wei Empire. However, the Wei Empire did not border the Great Yan Empire, and was separated by the vast Qiannanhai Sea.

To the east of Qiannanhai is a long corridor, and further east is the chaotic territory where the Sui Empire and the Wei Empire were in constant war.

The two empires fought countless battles on a front of more than 100 kilometers, eventually turning this area into a no-man's land.

The Great Wei Empire had a vast strategic depth, and the area south of the corridor was approximately half the size of the Great Yan Empire.

The Sui Empire did not give in at all in the face of the threats from the two empires, also because it had a land area similar to that of the Wei Empire in the east.

On the contrary, the Great Yan Empire was located in the Central Plains, surrounded by powerful enemies. There were the major grassland tribes in the north, and the brave and capable Eastern Turkic Alliance in the northeast.

Of course, there is also the Eighteenth Dynasty of Western Chu from the west. There are constant wars here. If it were not for the great internal strife, they would have conquered the Eastern Lands and competed in the Central Plains.

Lu Hao stood in front of the map of the entire Qianyuan Continent, unwilling to leave for a long time, thinking about how to kill these guys.

Once he begins to destroy the country, other countries will join forces to deal with him.

Take the farthest Wei Empire as an example. If necessary, their navy can forcefully cross the South China Sea and land to threaten the rear of Liuyang City.

Fortunately, Xuanyuan Dingyuan established three military strongholds behind Liuyang City, and established a powerful naval force at Qiongzhou Port on the seaside.

The largest five-story ship in this era was equipped with large war weapons such as bows, arrows, crossbows, etc. However, it still relied on sails for power, which was greatly limited.

It's a pity that Lu Hao is not sure about making a steam engine. If it can be equipped with such a power device, the power will be doubled.

Dugu Feng stood behind him and looked at Lu Hao's back, feeling a surge in his heart.

Although he didn't know what Lu Hao was thinking, judging from the way he crossed the continent, this kid had great ambitions and seemed to want to sweep the entire continent.

"Master Prime Minister, you have been standing in front of this map for half an hour. Are you tired? Do you want to have lunch?"

Nalan Xiuting quietly appeared behind him.

What?Has it been half an hour?

Lu Hao was intoxicated. Has it been so long?
"Uh... I'm really hungry! Master Dugu, let's have lunch here."

Lu Hao turned around with a smile and greeted.

"No, I want to go back and have dinner with dad. He has been in much better spirits these days."

Dugu Feng left at the right time.

"How is the situation with the Marquis?"

Lu Hao asked with a smile.

"Daddy's injuries have healed and his appetite has increased. It won't be long before he can get out of bed."

Dugu Feng responded.

"Let the Marquis recover from his injuries. You can say hello to the Marquis on behalf of me! Just talk about the court affairs. I will do my best."

Lu Hao said with a smile.

"On behalf of my father, I would like to thank the prime minister for his concern!"

Dugu Feng bowed slightly, turned around and left.

After lunch, Lu Hao took a nap and regained his mental state.

"Tell the Prime Minister that there is a little girl named Shen Yiyi who wants to see you!"

Ruyan comes in to report.

Shen Yiyi?What is she here for?
Lu Hao thought for a moment, threw the memorial aside, and said, "Bring her in."

After a moment, Shen Yiyi came gracefully in a light pink skirt, looking a little shy.

"My little daughter Shen Yiyi pays homage to the Prime Minister." Shen Yiyi bowed slightly and saluted.

"No need to be polite, Yiyi, why are you here?"

Lu Hao looked at the little girl.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, Daddy asked me to come and see you, Your Majesty, and fulfill the military expenses mentioned before."

Shen Yiyi said and handed over a big box.

Lu Hao opened it and took a look. There were several thick stacks of banknotes inside, each of which was worth 1 taels of silver.

This is also the largest denomination of banknotes issued by the Imperial Household Department.

"Didn't the truth tell me that I don't need it? Why did Boss Shen ask you to send it again?"

Lu Hao looked at Shen Yiyi.

"Prime Minister, dad said that if Prime Minister still needs money, the Shen family can provide it."

Shen Yiyi conveyed her father's words.

"No merit, no reward. Is there anything about your father that requires the truth to come forward?"

Lu Hao asked with a smile.

"Daddy said, the prime minister doesn't need to do anything. This is the little girl's dowry."

After Shen Yiyi finished speaking, she felt extremely shy and her pretty face turned red.

"Hehehe... It seems that Boss Shen wants to trick you into revealing your true identity. However, you are still so young, do your parents really have the patience?"

Lu Hao laughed happily.

"Dad said that it's time for boys to get married and girls to get married. You are about to turn 16 and can get married."

Shen Yiyi still relayed her father's words, but her face turned redder.

Shy girls are the cutest, and they still think they are stunningly beautiful.

"Well...Yiyi, you are still young. How about we discuss marriage later? Besides, we don't have any feelings at all, how can we get married in a hurry?"

Lu Hao said with a smile.

"Yiyi listens to the prime minister."

Shen Yiyi is really a good girl.

"Yiyi, do you have any dreams? Or is there anything you want to do?"

Lu Hao asked with a smile.

"Yiyi has always liked knitting, embroidery, and some costume jewelry. You see, my little skirt was cut by me myself."

Shen Yiyi said and turned around, looking very cute.

"Then do you want to be an official? Or do you want to do business?"

Lu Hao continued to ask.

"Of course it's business, but dad always says that I'm a girl, so I'm not suitable for business."

Shen Yiyi responded with a grimace.

"How could it be? Girls are good at doing business! The head of Tianyin Pavilion is a strong woman, and her business is huge."

Lu Hao said with a smile.

"But... I have no experience at all. Even if I do business, I will definitely lose everything. Then I will be scolded by my father again!"

Shen Yiyi said aggrievedly.

"No, no, let's do this. The two of us will do business together. You will be the shopkeeper, and I will help you operate the business behind the scenes. I will ensure that you make a lot of money."

Lu Hao smiled and encouraged her.

"I... can I really do it?"

Shen Yiyi was still too young and unsure of herself.
