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

Chapter 342 Looking Ahead
"Silly girl, you are a genius, how could something happen?"

Lu Hao comforted.

"Xiao Wan wants to be with you, so don't leave tonight, okay?"

Dong Xiaowan requested.

"Don't leave! Don't leave! I will stay with you and your child tonight!"

Lu Hao readily agreed.

She is now pregnant with Lu Hao's child and can be regarded as Lu Hao's true wife.

Lu Hao naturally felt pity for her and was obedient to her.

"elder sister……"

Concubine Xiao Shu's voice came.

"Sister, why are you here?"

Dong Xiaowan was depressed.

"Of course my sister is here to see her."

Concubine Xiao Shu came slowly.

Wearing a red skirt and long robe, she looked graceful and luxurious, her beautiful eyes were flowing, and she looked at Lu Hao lovingly.

"Sister, where are you looking at your sister? Or are you looking at the prime minister?"

Dong Xiaowan pursed her lips and snickered, joking.

"elder sister……"

Concubine Xiao Shu took her arm and said coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, I know why you came, but I have no intention of giving up the Prime Minister to you today."

Dong Xiaowan did not give in at all.

"Sister, how about we serve the prime minister together?"

Concubine Xiao Shu retreated and settled for the next best thing.

After all, Dong Xiaowan is now pregnant with Lu Hao's child, and she also wants to have one.

"This... this is so embarrassing!"

Dong Xiaowan blushed with embarrassment and looked at Lu Hao.

"Okay, sister, you are not feeling well. What's wrong with letting your sister serve the prime minister for you?"

Concubine Xiao Shu persuaded again.

"Yun'er, why don't you go back first, and the truth will come to you later..."

Lu Hao interrupted with a smile.

"Forget it, since sister Yun'er is willing to stay and serve the Prime Minister, I wish you the best."

Dong Xiaowan reluctantly agreed.

The three of them entered the inner room, lingered and spent a ridiculous night, and then left at dawn.

……

Military Department.

Lu Hao and several adults are working hard to deal with the government affairs that have been delayed these days.

King Huainan, Prince Hao, and King Wei, these rebels were scared to death when they heard that Lu Hao defeated Liu Mu.

With only [-] soldiers and horses, how could they fight against Lu Hao's army? Therefore, they hurried towards Hangu Pass, obviously preparing to join Chen Lin.

As for whether Chen Lin will accept them, that is unknown.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Xue Yue, the general of the Eastern Conquest, launched an attack on Liaoyang City. Both sides suffered heavy casualties and the war entered a stalemate.

General Xue Yue's battle is related to the safety of the eastern side of the empire. He must win but not lose. Once Juli Khan defeats Xue Yue and marches all the way, life will be ruined.

After all, Juli Khan invaded the empire, which was completely different from the "Eight Kings Rebellion".

Even if the King of Huainan and others rebelled, they would not dare to easily massacre the common people of the empire. However, when foreigners invaded, it would be completely different.

"Master Xuanyuan, Minister of the Ministry of War, will immediately mobilize an army of [-] to set off to reinforce General Xue Yue. In addition, the soldiers' winter clothes, quilts and other winter supplies will be sent to Gissen City and Heisen City..."

"The Military Aircraft Department issued an order to mobilize naval warships in the eastern Crescent Port to provide support to General Xue Yue from the sea..."

"Master Xu, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, ordered officials from all over the east to fully cooperate with General Xue Yue. In everything, the overall interests of the empire and the defense of the country are the most important..." "Master Tang, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, immediately allocated 1000 million taels of silver to the city of Gissen and Heilongjiang. Sencheng purchases war preparation materials and transports them to the front line..."

"Master Wu of the Supervision Department ordered the secret agents of the Supervision Department in the east to assassinate Juli Khan and the capable ministers around him..."

Lu Hao issued a series of orders instantly.

These orders were to block the Eastern Turks' army. Lu Hao had tried his best. As for whether he could capture Liaoyang City, he could only leave it to fate.

"Master Prime Minister, these are the selected and tested talents..."

Xu Liting, the Minister of Personnel, handed over a list.

Lu Hao took it over, looked at it, and said, "Mr. Xu, I'm going to summon these people at the Libu Yamen in the afternoon. Please make arrangements."

"Your Majesty, let's do it."

Xu Liting was extremely happy.

"Prime Minister, I have already built the highway from Hengyang City to the Imperial Capital, and are starting to prepare for the construction of highways from the Imperial Capital to various borders..."

Dong Bifang, Minister of Industry, handed over the drawings of the newly planned transportation trunk road.

Lu Hao took it and looked at it, nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Dong, this huge plan is very good. Thank you for your hard work. The required [-] million taels of silver will be paid in installments..."

"Master Prime Minister, don't you think the cost is too high?"

Lord Dong asked weakly.

"Lord Dong, roads are the foundation of the empire and are related to the people's livelihood in the empire. Once these main roads are completed, the economy of the empire will reach a leap. It doesn't matter if you spend a little money."

Lu Hao responded with a smile.

"The Prime Minister is far-sighted and the subordinates admire him greatly."

Mr. Dong praised sincerely.

"Master Dong, when we start construction of these main roads, we must ensure the quality and avoid corruption. As for the wages, they can be increased by 30.00%."

"After the main road is built, inform Master Liu of Hengyang City to send people to build the cement road. You and Master Liu will discuss the specific progress."

Lu Hao added again.

"I respectfully obey the Prime Minister's order."

Mr. Dong was very happy.

……

noon.

After having lunch at the official office, Lu Hao began to gather various talents for selection.

There are more than 300 candidates who passed the imperial examination this time, half of them civil and military.

The weakest ones in the martial arts assessment are also fifth-level people. If these people have the ability to lead troops, they can become general-level figures.

The liberal arts exam focuses on discussing the principles of governing the country and some reform measures of the New Deal.

Lu Hao conducted an on-site assessment of these people, and then assigned these people to various departments in the empire, which can be regarded as being reused.

The four most outstanding people among them are both civil and military, and are definitely the pillars of the empire.

Therefore, Lu Hao hosted a banquet in Fengxian Tower to entertain all the talents, taking this opportunity to see the abilities of all the young talents.

Boss Zeng of Fengxian Tower immediately emptied Fengxian Tower when he learned that the prime minister was having a treat.

Lu Hao, Mr. Xu, and several senior officials from the Ministry of Personnel were sitting on the top seats. Below were the talents who had just been selected.

"Master Xu, this time you have worked hard to select talents for the empire. The Prime Minister has decided to reward officials at all levels of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Yamen. The reward will be 1000 taels of silver per capita. Master Xu will just draw up a list and submit it to the court."

Lu Hao was not stingy and immediately rewarded people based on their merits.

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for the reward!"

Xu Liting and all the adults immediately stood up and saluted to express their thanks.

"As for those of you who were selected by the imperial examination, from today onwards, you are also registered officials of the empire. I hope that you will do your best to serve the empire in the future. If you perform outstandingly, I will definitely put you in high positions."

Lu Hao turned around and looked down and said loudly.

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for the promotion!"

The adults below replied loudly.

There are many talents selected this time, and there are several who can catch Lu Hao's eye, but now is not the time to reuse them.
