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

Chapter 490

Lu Hao's anger has subsided a lot now. After he ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, it is customary to change the country's name and year and grant amnesty to the world.

Therefore, it makes sense to let this old guy go when the time comes.

"However, this old scholar provides good food and drink. If something happens to him, it will cause a big problem and it will not end well."

Lu Hao warned.

"Don't worry, Prime Minister. Although I sent people to fight Mr. Xu's family back, I still promised them to send people to bring food in every day. My subordinates saw that the quality of the food is very good."

Zhang Zhongwei responded with a smile.

"As for the other prisoners, as long as they are not extremely heinous, unforgivable, and unrepentant, we will draw up a list. When the true prime minister ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, and offers a general amnesty to the world, they can be released."

Lu Hao nodded slightly and continued to explain.

"The kindness of Mr. Xiang is a blessing to all people in the world!"

Zhang Zhongwei praised.

"The Ministry of Punishment must severely crack down on the bandits and robbers within the empire and the bullies and local tyrants who harm the people, to ensure the legitimate interests and legitimate demands of the people, and to ensure the long-term peace and order of the entire society..."

"As for the salaries of officials from the Ministry of Justice, they can be increased by 20.00%. Rewards will be given in accordance with regulations for detecting major and important cases. Officials who bravely defend justice must be commended separately..."

Lu Hao made important instructions on the work of the entire Criminal Department.

When Zhang Zhongwei and other officials heard about the salary increase, they were all grateful and said they would work hard and do their best.

As for Mr. Xu, that old-fashioned and stubborn man, Lu Hao did not lower his status to see him. Instead, after explaining the matter, he left the Criminal Department directly.

The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of the empire's finances. Now the empire is not short of money at all. The Ministry of War is in charge of the empire's army. Lu Hao asked Xuanyuan Dingyuan to disband the army and start a slow transition to a new army.

However, with the current production volume of guns and ammunition, it is already very good to be able to equip four legions.

If a large-scale war breaks out, guns and ammunition will simply not be enough to support the four armies to fight at the same time. Therefore, expanding the gun and ammunition production workshops is the top priority.

The problem now is that guns and ammunition cannot be put into assembly line operations at all, and production cannot be increased.

Unless mankind enters the electrical age, there will be a standard stamping assembly line and it will be able to meet large-scale operations.

However, the current production volume is enough for the empire's standing army, and Lu Hao controls guns and ammunition very strictly.

As for building a Desert Eagle or a more powerful sniper rifle, he is probably the only one who can do it himself.

The Ministry of Personnel was responsible for the promotion and dismissal of imperial officials. Previously, the Ministry of Personnel also hosted scientific examinations and selected officials.

The Ministry of Rites is in charge of imperial propaganda, culture, education and diplomacy and is making arrangements for the coronation ceremony.

Lu Hao has already begun to establish various vocational colleges in the empire to cultivate more talents, so as to truly promote the scientific and technological progress of the entire Qianyuan Continent.

Lu Hao did not disturb the work of the remaining four departments, but was preparing to go to Hengyang City in a carriage.

The carriage had just left the Criminal Ministry, and not far away, a swordsman in white appeared in front of him.

"Brother, why are you here?"

Lu Hao was extremely surprised and excited.

It turned out that it was Jiu Jianxian who blocked his way.

"Hahaha... Brother, you are going to ascend the throne and become emperor. How can you not come to congratulate me as the eldest brother?"

Jiujian Xianle laughed.

Lu Hao jumped off the carriage and signaled the driver to return on his own.

"Brother, the civil and military officials are forcing me to take the position, but I'm just trying to catch up!"

Lu Hao walked towards Jiujianxian.

"To drive a duck to the top, you have to be able to do it! How about it? No one objects to your promotion, right? If so, I will help you kill him!"

The Jiujianxian looked embarrassed.

However, he has the confidence and the ability.

Looking at today's world, the number of masters who can truly be enemies can be counted on one hand.

Of course, Jiujianxian is also free and easy by nature, and he will do what he says. If Lu Hao really asks him to kill people, he will never be merciful.

"That's not necessary. Now that you're here, I'll treat you to a drink."

Lu Hao said with a smile.

"Drink! It's a good feeling! Tell me, where can we go to drink?" Jiu Jianxian readily agreed.

"How about we go to Tianyinfang in Tianyin Pavilion? There are fine wines there!"

Lu Hao suggested going to Tianyinfang.

There are both fine wine and beautiful women there, and this is what the Wine Sword Fairy likes.

When the two of them came to Tianyinfang, it was just when the lanterns were first lit, and there were not many guests coming here to have fun.

Ye Qingyu, the left guardian of Tianyinfang, personally arranged for them to stay in a luxurious private room on the third floor, and arranged for Gongsun Meng to serve Lu Hao and the others.

This princess of the Kurchi tribe did not know that she was a secret spy sent by the big shot in the north.

Hearing that the Prime Minister had asked her to come by name, she naturally came over quickly and wanted to get some information.

After all, Lu Hao's identity is different now.

"Mengmeng meets the prime minister!"

Gongsun Meng shouted in an angry voice, and Yingying bowed and saluted.

"Qingyu, Mengmeng, this is my true eldest brother, the Jiujianxian."

Lu Hao introduced.

What?Wine Sword Fairy?
The two beauties were stunned.

"What expressions are you looking at? Has Big Brother's reputation suppressed you?"

Lu Hao joked with a smile.

"I really didn't expect it to be Senior Jiujianxian. This junior is so polite."

Ye Qingyu and Gongsun Meng quickly bowed and saluted.

"What's your name, senior? Follow Lu Hao and just call me big brother."

Jiujianxian is not particular about trivial matters.

"Then how can it be done? It's normal for you to be equal to your peers. We can't ignore the rules."

Ye Qingyu insisted.

"Alright, Qingyu, bring us some jars of good wine. I want to stay with my eldest brother until we get drunk."

Lu Hao said with a smile.

"I've made arrangements. The food and wine will be here soon."

Ye Qingyu responded.

After a while, the food and wine were served, and the two started drinking together.

Gongsun Meng and Ye Qingyu were waiting beside them, helping them pour wine and pick up vegetables.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the Jiujianxian put down his wine glass and looked at Lu Hao seriously.

"Brother, to tell you the truth, I got the news that someone was going to do harm to you, so I hurried back."

Jiujianxian frowned and said straight to the point.

What?Bad for me?

Lu Hao's face darkened and he asked, "Brother, do you know who he is?"

"To tell you the truth, I heard that he is one of the Four Great Masters. This man has never been defeated in swordsmanship. He spends his whole life just seeking one defeat!"

The Jiujianxian responded in a deep voice.

Spend your whole life just hoping for one defeat?
"Dugu Qiubai?" Lu Hao blurted out and exclaimed.

This name not only frightened Lu Hao, but also the two beauties.

"I just heard it, but it has not been confirmed. I don't know if this news is accurate? However, I am still worried about you, so I rushed back to the imperial capital immediately."

The Wine Sword Immortal responded.

"Brother, are you sure you can deal with Dugu Qiubai?"

Lu Hao frowned and asked in a deep voice.
