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

Chapter 666 Official Comprador
"What? Diamonds?"

The sister-in-law was shocked.

Diamonds are ridiculously expensive!

Concubine Xiao Shu used it to give away the child?This move is really generous!

"Of course, sister-in-law and mother, you two each."

Concubine Xiao Shu hugged the two children and liked them very much. She added with a smile.

"What? We have too?"

My sister-in-law was very surprised.

"Yun'er, as my mother is old, she doesn't need these things anymore."

Mrs. Xiao smiled and refused.

"Mom, why don't you take a look first? What if there's something you like?"

Concubine Xiao Shu said with a smile.

Her personal maid Xiaomei came over carrying the box.

The box was opened, and it was full of crystal clear diamonds. There were about thirty of them, and each one was the size of a little finger.

Of course, these diamonds were brought back by Lu Hao. Although many were given away, many were left behind.

Lu Hao rewarded Concubine Xiao Shu with thirty diamonds in one go. You can imagine how happy he was.

More than a dozen diamonds shone with dazzling brilliance, and even Mrs. Xiao, who just said she didn't want them, looked dull at this time.

After all, in the past, I only saw a diamond that Xiao Heng brought back, but now it is a pile of diamonds, which is a completely different visual feast.

Xiao Yun'er's sister-in-law's heart beat rapidly with excitement, and she covered her mouth tightly for fear of screaming.

Even Xiao Ze felt inexplicably excited when he saw it and wanted to take it for himself.

On the contrary, when the two children saw such a beautiful diamond, they just showed a kind of liking, but they were not too surprised.

"Xiaofeng, Xiaohan, you can choose one."

Concubine Xiao Shu said with a smile.

"Auntie, I want this one!"

Xiao Feng directly selected one.

"Little aunt, what is this? Why is it so dazzling? Can it be used as a toy?"

Xiao Han was relatively young and thought it was a toy.

"of course can."

Concubine Xiao Shu smiled.

Using diamonds as toys?Lie down on the ground and bounce directly into the small hole?
Mrs. Xiao and her sister-in-law had silly smiles on their faces and seemed to be amused by the child.

"Yun'er, you dote on the children too much. How can you give them such a valuable thing?"

Mrs. Xiao said.

"Mom, Xiaofeng and Xiaohan are children I watched grow up. I like them and would be happy to give them anything valuable. As for the diamonds, I will let my sister-in-law keep them for them."

"When they grow up, Xiaofeng can give it to the person he likes, and Xiaohan can use it as a dowry. Do you agree?"

Concubine Xiao Shu said with a smile and hope.

"Okay, then let your sister-in-law help them keep it."

Mrs. Xiao finally agreed.

"Mother, sister-in-law, each of you can choose two. Don't be polite to me. The emperor has rewarded me with thirty diamonds."

Concubine Xiao Shu looked wealthy and wealthy.

"Thirty? Your Majesty really favors you!"

Madam Xiao smiled.

After they made their selections, Concubine Xiao Shu sent someone to deliver several brocade boxes, which were all filled with gold, silver and jewelry. One was given to each person. It could no longer be described as rich and powerful.

"Daughter, you won't bring back all the emperor's rewards, will you?"

Mrs. Xiao joked with a smile. "No, the emperor rewarded you with two big boxes. I just picked some that are suitable for you."

Concubine Xiao Shu answered truthfully.

"What? Two big boxes?"

The sister-in-law was confused.

"Yes, it's the kind of big box that can hold people."

Xiao Yuner added.

Mrs. Xiao and her sister-in-law were stunned for a moment, completely stupid.

……

On the other side, Xiao Heng was explaining to Lu Hao his policies on the prairie.

Of course, Lu Hao also revealed the empire's plans in the north, such as building a power center in Shadow Moon Beach to handle the empire's grassland affairs.

Since the empire wants to manage the prairie, it must promote the development of animal husbandry, improve many systems, and introduce some preferential policies.

"Your Majesty, what I mean is that the empire will purchase cattle, sheep and horses, and then transport them to the interior for sale, thereby mobilizing the enthusiasm of the herdsmen on the prairie..."

Mr. Xiao Heng still has great ideas.

"You mean that the cattle, sheep and horses will be controlled by the government and controlled by the empire?"

Lu Hao understood what he meant.

"Yes, because after many profiteers enter the prairie, they will definitely suppress the prices of cattle, sheep and horses. If the empire has such an institution as a guarantee, the herdsmen's cattle, sheep and horses can be sold at a higher price..."

Xiao Heng nodded solemnly and continued to add.

"Well, your idea is good. You can follow it. The cattle, sheep and horses purchased by the empire can be distributed to merchants and let them make delicacies. The value will be even higher."

Lu Hao fully agreed with his approach.

In fact, this is just like state-owned enterprises in previous lives. The state controls important production and living materials to prevent people from driving up prices and hoarding goods.

As a super empire with a population of more than 14 billion, the Chinese Empire’s grain, oil, and important resources indeed need to be controlled by the empire.

After Lu Hao had a conversation with Xiao Heng today, he also began to control the empire's grain, oil, and some high-tech products.

For example, steel plants, cement plants, rubber plants, and shipyards must be controlled by the empire. All kinds of mineral deposits are undisputedly national. If private individuals want to exploit them, they must be reviewed by the empire.

"In addition, the veteran believes that the development of the empire's animal husbandry requires the improvement of fine breeds of cattle, sheep and horses..."

Xiao Heng made several more good suggestions.

Lu Hao felt that this father-in-law was quite capable. After all, these suggestions were very constructive and had a lot of room for operation. They could be fully implemented and were not just rhetoric.

Until lunch time, the two exchanged many opinions and finalized many things on the development of grassland and animal husbandry.

……

After lunch, Lu Hao left Xiao Shufei at home with his parents and went to Hengyang City.

I haven’t been to Hengyang for so long, and the place has begun to expand from the city to the surrounding areas. After all, more and more workers are needed, and the city is already large enough to live in, so we can only expand outside the city.

As for those people who migrated from the Qiannan Plain, some of them have now settled around Hengyang City, relying on working in factories to support their families.

There are also some people who were arranged by Liu Rufeng to the north of Yandi City and are expanding a satellite city.

If Yandi City is used as the center and four satellite cities are expanded, the Imperial Capital will really be the largest city in the entire continent.

Lu Hao landed lightly in the City Lord's Mansion. Liu Rufeng spotted him first and walked out of the hall.

"Meet the emperor!"

Liu Rufeng bowed slightly.

"National Master, I came here to take a look. I sent an order for them to come back. I want to see how their research progress is?"

Lu Hao said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, please wait in the hall for a moment. I will send someone to inform them right away."

Liu Rufeng responded loudly.

In a short time, the entire hall became lively, and all the adults from Hengyang City rushed over.
