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

Chapter 586: People don’t marry

As the order came out, the imperial cabinet reported news,
"Reporting to the Emperor, Mr. Dong, the Minister of Industry, requested the Emperor to provide an additional [-] million taels of silver as follow-up funds for official channels between states."

The Meiyue clan members continued to report.

"Invite the Minister of Household Affairs to provide an additional [-] million taels of silver to the Ministry of Industry, and ask the Minister of Industry to delegate all small projects to the state government level. They are only responsible for supervision."

Lu Hao stroked his pen, another [-] million.

What is the richest man in Crescent City?

This emperor is the real richest man in the empire, but he spent hundreds of millions of taels of silver in the blink of an eye.

The three members of the Cheng family were stunned and completely confused when they heard that Lu Hao was spending money lavishly, just like throwing away money.

"Your Majesty, if you spend money like this, does the empire have enough money in the treasury?"

Cheng Yujie approached him and asked in a low voice.

"Hahaha……"

Lu Hao laughed happily and said: "Let me tell you, I am most in need of money. To be honest, the property that was robbed from Zheng and Yue last time was worth 30 billion taels of silver. Do you think I will be short of money?"

What? 30 billion taels of silver?

When Cheng Yujie heard this astronomical figure, her mind was buzzing and she was completely dumbfounded.

"It is my blessing and the empire's blessing to be able to meet such a talented and powerful emperor in my lifetime!"

Old General Cheng Meng was so excited that he burst into tears.

"What's going on, old general? Isn't it enough that I've allocated [-] million to you?"

Lu Hao joked with a smile.

"That's enough, that's enough. I will fulfill my mission and build Crescent Harbor into the eastern fortress of the empire, and the Second Fleet of the Imperial Navy into a steel lion!"

Old General Cheng Meng said loudly.

"Your Majesty, we ransacked the Shi family and got 2000 million taels of silver. Will this money be turned over to the national treasury?"

General Cheng Li interrupted and asked.

"Why turn it over to the national treasury? Now we need money to build Crescent Port. We should keep it in the city lord's account to spend it. Let the Second Fleet of the Navy form combat strength as soon as possible. I will also lead you to plunder the Sui Empire."

Lu Hao responded with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I will definitely help my father and bring the Imperial Navy's Second Fleet into combat effectiveness as soon as possible."

General Cheng Li immediately assured.

"Two generals, thank you for your hard work!"

Lu Hao was also slightly touched.

Next, the two generals took out the drawings and asked Lu Hao for advice. The latter also took the trouble to explain in detail the renovation and new facilities of Crescent Port.

This set of construction plans is completely based on the previous naval port. It can be said to be comprehensive and capable of both offense and defense.

Cheng Yujie did not leave, but served tea and water beside them, serving the three of them with all her heart.

……

The night is like water, and the breeze is blowing.

Lu Hao followed Cheng Yujie to the backyard and strolled along the lake towards the small attic where he lived.

The lights in the backyard were swaying and the candlelight was bright, with a bit of ecstasy and elegance, making the two of them feel comfortable.

"Your Majesty, you must be very tired, right?"

Cheng Yujie suddenly spoke.

"What? Do you feel sorry for me?"

Lu Hao stretched out his big hand and grabbed her tender pussy.

"Seeing you dealing with national affairs, I feel like I can't help at all. Am I stupid?"

Cheng Yujie looked a little depressed.

"How could it be? Everyone has a goal to strive for. You can also have your own goals, your own ideals, and your own pursuits. Tell me, what do you want to do most?"

Lu Hao asked with a smile.

"I want...most...it seems like I haven't really thought about it. I used to always want to marry someone I like, but now..."

Cheng Yujie thought about it carefully, and it seemed that she really didn't know what she wanted to do. "You want to marry me now, then enjoy the glory and wealth, and finally grow old slowly in a life of drunkenness and glamour, until you die?"

Lu Hao joked with a smile.

"No more. I also want to write biographies, become famous throughout the ages, become a great female poet, have my own happy family, and finally have a family full of children and grandchildren, and die in good health..."

Cheng Yujie said quietly.

"I tell you, if you want to become a great poet, you must travel around the world, see the prosperity of the imperial capital, feel the smoke of the countryside, understand the elegance of the three mountains and five mountains, and precipitate the long history of culture..."

Lu Hao followed the guidance and hoped that she would have her own ideals.

"But, I want to travel with you to the three mountains and five mountains, and watch all the prosperity come to an end with you..."

Cheng Yujie looked attached.

"Of course I can accompany you, and I can also take you to ride on the grasslands, travel across the world, drink iceberg water, and go west out of Yanya Mountain..."

Lu Hao agreed wholeheartedly.

"But, you are so busy, how can you have time to accompany me? You are obviously here to comfort me."

Cheng Yujie gave him a blank look.

"Although I am very busy and have a lot of time, I still have no problem taking care of you. Otherwise, you would follow me on the northern expedition beyond the Great Wall, galloping on the battlefield, using the sky as your quilt and the earth as your seat. How heroic and majestic it would be, how comfortable and unrestrained you would be."

Lu Hao's pride remained the same.

"Really? You didn't lie to me?"

Cheng Yujie was extremely pleasantly surprised.

She has been living by the sea and has not had the opportunity to visit the imperial capital, let alone the grasslands. If she can follow Lu Haoding to the north, she will definitely be able to write more magnificent poems.

"I am the emperor, and I have a golden tongue. How can I make promises at will?"

Lu Hao responded seriously.

"Then it's settled, I want to go with you, but what about my parents? They will definitely not agree."

Cheng Yujie's smile faded and she felt a headache.

"This is also very simple. I just said that I would take you into the harem and marry you into the royal family."

Thief Lu Hao chuckled evilly.

"No! I won't marry you!"

Cheng Yujie was so shy that she turned around and ran away.

Lu Hao chased after him, and the two of them fought all the way back to the room. Naturally, the incident spread to the inner courtyard.

Cheng Li's wife is 38 years old today. Since giving birth to her daughter, she has taken charge of the entire Cheng family.

The fact that Cheng Yujie and Lu Hao entered the room naturally reached her ears.

She didn't want her daughter to marry into the royal family, and she didn't dare to offend the emperor, so she might have to start with her daughter.

As soon as Cheng Yujie came out of Lu Hao's room, she was called away by her mother's maid.

In the inner courtyard, Cheng Yujie's mother was not asleep yet. Looking at her daughter who was smiling and immersed in love, her face couldn't help but darken.

"Mom, what do you want from me?"

Cheng Yujie came over with a smile and asked loudly.

"Yujie, did you go to the attic where the emperor lives? Have you forgotten what my mother told you not to just go to a man's room?"

Mrs. Cheng asked coldly.

"My father asked me to send the emperor back to rest."

Cheng Yujie immediately used her father as a shield.

"Your father is an old fool. Are you also confused? Even if your father asks you to send someone away, you can't enter the room? Just send it to the door. How can you, a girl who has not left the court, enter a man's room? Do you want your reputation to spread?"

Mrs. Cheng lectured coldly.

"Mom, my daughter knows she was wrong. I will send her to the door next time."

Cheng Yujie is also well-behaved.
