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

Chapter 489 Three Major Projects
"Prime Minister, this method was also adopted by the previous official, so the construction period was shortened a lot."

Mr. Dong added with a smile.

"No wonder you're progressing so fast, that's it! Well, you're doing a great job!"

Lu Hao praised again.

"Actually, it's not because the prime minister's money has been received, and the wages have been increased by 30.00%, but the common people who come to do the work are highly motivated. Otherwise, the project would not be so fast."

Mr. Dong told the truth.

"Mr. Dong, although the wages have been increased, now that the weather is getting hotter, all the people and officials involved in the project will be given an additional 30 taels of silver as a monthly subsidy so that everyone can work harder!"

Lu Hao opened his mouth and increased the living allowance of one tael of silver per day for everyone.

"Old minister, thank you very much, Prime Minister. On behalf of all the people, I would like to thank you for your kindness!"

Mr. Dong was extremely excited and quickly bowed to express his thanks.

"The Grand Canal project is another growth point for the empire's economic development. It must maintain quality and quantity. As for the mountains in the middle, the truth will be found."

Lu Hao ordered with a serious look.

"Don't worry, Prime Minister, our Ministry of Industry will work together to complete the Grand Canal project as soon as possible."

Lord Dong assured.

"For the road in the dark forest, we need to build the road near the west first. The death swamp in the east needs to cut off the water flow from the Nudis Mountains. The truth has been drawn up a specific plan..."

"There are a total of five tributaries in the Nudes Mountains that flow into the Death Swamp. Therefore, these tributaries must be cut off from the upstream and the water of the tributaries should be directed to the east..."

"In addition, there is abundant rainfall in the Dark Forest, and water from tributaries also flows into the Death Swamp. The method used for these flows is still to expand river ditches and divert the water away..."

Lu Hao pointed at the map and began to explain.

He has thousands of years of extra knowledge, and the dredging method he uses is indeed the best way to solve the death swamp.

Once the water is diverted, the Dead Swamp will have no water source and will naturally dry up.

Once the dead swamp dries up, building a road will be easy and enjoyable.

"Lord Dong, the three major projects are the core of the empire. As for the hardening of the ground in major cities in the empire, we will wait until the new cement plants are built and the output is increased before they are implemented..."

"The hardening of ground in major cities is also a livelihood project. It starts from cities in prefectures and counties, and then connects states to states, counties to counties, and opens up the national transportation network..."

Lu Hao continued.

When the adults in the Ministry of Industry heard about such a grand and huge plan, they were all excited, as if they had been given a shot of blood.

In the past, the Ministry of Industry was the weakest department among the six major departments, with the lowest remuneration, and was despised by all major departments.

However, Lu Hao's three core projects have been started continuously, unlimited funds have been allocated to the Ministry of Works, and the salaries of various officials in the Ministry of Works have also been increased.

It can be said that Lu Hao completely changed the current situation of the Ministry of Industry and made this department a real core department.

"As for the officials of the Ministry of Industry, due to the increase in workload, their salaries will also be increased by 30.00%. If the project is completely completed, there will actually be rewards."

Lu Hao finally added.

"All the officials of the Ministry of Industry thank the Prime Minister!"

Master Dong and other officials bowed to express their thanks.

"Do your best! I will never treat you adults badly!"

Lu Hao promised again.

"The Prime Minister is mighty! The Prime Minister is wise! Long live the Prime Minister! Long live the Prime Minister!"

All the officials roared in unison.

Lu Hao has always been very generous to his subordinates, officials, and soldiers.

The first of the three major projects is about to be completed. Once completed, Lu Hao will definitely reward the Ministry of Industry generously.This makes everyone full of expectations, and at the same time, the loyalty of these people has also been greatly increased.

After coming out of the Ministry of Works, Lu Hao went directly to the prison of the Ministry of Punishments.

Mr. Xu, who was imprisoned yesterday, is now very depressed and angry.

The real dragon appears!The emperor comes to the world!
So many people have seen it with their own eyes, and it has been said to be miraculous by many people, who say it is a miracle.

After being beautifully decorated by the people, Lu Hao has become a veritable candidate for the emperor.

Zhang Zhongwei, the Minister of Punishment, personally accompanied Lu Hao on his inspection of the Punishment Department's prison and reported to him on the work of the Punishment Department.

Thanks to the start of construction of three major projects, everyone can make money, and the crime rate has dropped significantly.

"Master Zhang, we must strictly review the death row prisoners sent from all over the country. If there are doubts, insufficient evidence, or cases where they were beaten into submission, they will all be sent back for retrial..."

"The Ministry of Punishment is the symbol of the empire's laws. You must revise all the laws that were out of date to adapt to the changes of the times and the changes in the entire empire..."

"The laws of the Empire's Ministry of Punishment must also be improved from all aspects. For example, after the current official system is repaired, the Ministry of Industry will introduce corresponding protective measures, and the Ministry of Punishment will need to support laws and regulations..."

Lu Hao walked and talked, detailing the areas where the empire's legal system needed to be revised and improved.

Zhang Zongwei has an unusual relationship with him, and is loyal to him. His personal abilities are average, and he is a bit unsatisfactory as a minister, but there is no big problem.

After all, Wu Qingyu controls the empire's intelligence network. If there were unjust or wrongful convictions in the local area, he would have reported them long ago.

This is also the reason why Lu Hao still reuses Zhang Zhongwei.

There is another reason, that is, Zhang Zhongwei is mature and prudent, and will not make rash advances or bend the law for personal gain. This bottom line must be adhered to.

As the saying goes, in troubled times, use heavy codes. Now is a peaceful and prosperous time, people live and work in peace and contentment, and the crime rate is very low. It would be better to be more peaceful.

"By the way, how is Mr. Xu doing now?"

Lu Hao asked with a smile.

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, he is much more honest now and no longer makes a fuss. However, his children and several grandsons came to make a fuss and wanted an explanation from our Criminal Department, but I sent people to drive them back."

Zhang Zhongwei responded.

"My children and grandchildren came to the Criminal Department to cause trouble? This is no small matter! You just rushed back so easily?"

Lu Hao's face darkened and he asked coldly.

"Master Prime Minister, in fact, we didn't rush him, but I sent people to fight him back."

Zhang Zhongwei approached him and whispered.

"Hahaha……"

Lu Hao laughed happily and said: "You! You still know how to talk to me about words?"

"Prime Minister, at this time, I think this matter should be reduced to a major matter, in order to show off the regal image of the Prime Minister."

Zhang Zhongwei added.

"I don't know the truth. It's just that this old scholar is too annoying. If he doesn't teach him a lesson, he really thinks that the truth is a soft persimmon. Let's do this. After the truth comes to the throne and proclaims himself emperor, he will be amnesty and let him go. ”

Lu Hao nodded slightly and said with a smile.

"My subordinate understands!"

Zhang Zhongwei nodded heavily, indicating that he knew what to do.

In fact, to say how big a crime this old guy committed, it was just for opposing Lu Hao's ascension to the throne. It was not a serious crime.

After all, as a veteran of the three dynasties of the Great Yan Empire, it is normal for him to have this complex.
