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

Chapter 689 Closing the Loop
"Your Majesty...um...ah..."

Xia Wei shouted in a low voice.

Such a young and beautiful girl, after a night's rest, she actually wants it again today.

She hooked her hands around Lu Hao's neck, tried her best to cater to Lu Hao's demands, and soon entered the state.

Due to time constraints, Lu Hao directly raised his gun and mounted his horse, and rudely entered the beauty's hinterland.

The huge feeling of fullness and swelling made Xia Wei tremble all over. She couldn't help but straighten her body and hugged Lu Hao tightly.

"Your Majesty...be gentle..."

Xia Wei blushed with embarrassment.

"How are you? Are you comfortable? Let me love you well!"

Lu Hao was as tender as water, feeling the softness of the beautiful woman.

"Ah... um..."

Xia Wei's mouth made an inexplicable sound of joy.

An hour later, Lu Hao was satisfied and got up to wash himself before going to court.

Xia Wei collapsed on the bed, feeling like her whole body was falling apart, and finally slept until noon.

Zhengyang Palace.

Lu Hao slowly walked up to the dragon chair. Below him were all the civil and military officials who came to the morning court today.

"Greetings to the emperor! Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

All civil and military officials knelt down in collective worship.

"Everyone loves to be flat!"

Lu Hao sat down and said loudly.

"If you have something to play, you will retreat if there is nothing!"

Xiao Xizi said loudly.

"Your Majesty, the plan for the official route in the northern part of the empire has been revised, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to take a look at it in person."

Mr. Dong, the Minister of Industry and Industry, stood up and handed over a thick document.

"Send it up, I'll look at it later, and you can give me a rough summary."

Lu Hao waved his hand, and the little eunuch collected the documents.

“According to the emperor’s request, we will build a road from Yanjing City to Yinyue Beach, then from Yinyue Beach to Yingyue Beach, and finally from Yingyue Beach to Wangchuan City, and then build an official road from Wangchuan City to Yanjing City, and another An official road that goes directly down to Hangu Pass..."

Mr. Dong quickly reported in detail.

Lu Hao meant to open up a circular official road in the north, promote economic and trade prosperity in the north, and finally build a large port as the base of the West Sea Fleet.

However, it takes a long time and a lot of money and cannot be rushed.

"As for the east, the official roads have been extended up, and the official roads of Giessen City, Heisen City and Liaoyang City have been expanded. Starting from Liaoyang City, a channel has been built eastward through the prairie, extending to Wolabach. Then it extends from Wolabach to the seaside Jimtso Port..."

Mr. Dong continued to report.

The Far East Prairie is autonomous for the Turks, and the empire opened up official channels to promote economic and trade development, and promote ethnic exchanges and integration.

Jimtso Port is the largest port in the north of Tuotuo Sea, and goods can be transported north along the coastline from the Empire's Jingyue Port to reach this port directly.

If it comes like this, it also forms a closed loop.

"Master Dong, we will build the official road according to this plan, but we need to build an official road between the two grasslands. This official road will cross the Nudis Mountains and serve as a convenient passage connecting the two grasslands... "However, it is not something that ordinary people can do to get through the Nudis Mountains. It will be done by me. As for the road that passes through the Black Forest and the Misty Forest, I will also take the final step." The section of the Death Swamp has been cleared..."

Lu Hao said loudly.

Once these two truly convenient channels are opened, trade between the east and west of the empire will be able to develop in the future, and by then, the empire's economy will be able to take off.

However, it is not an easy task to get through the Death Swamp. After all, there is an endless swamp there, and even Lu Hao would have a headache.

If it were a big mountain like the Nudes Mountains, Lu Hao could flatten the mountain and fill the ravines.

swamp?What a headache!
"Your Majesty, the official roads between other states and counties are being expanded in an orderly manner. The first to be completed are several states near the empire, as well as several states and counties on the plains..."

Mr. Dong continued to report.

The Central Plains Empire has the vast Qianzhong Great Plains, Qiannan Great Plains and Qiandong Great Plains. These places have long had official roads, and if they are just expanded on the original basis, the speed will be very fast.

Of course, if cement is used for hardening, it does not take much time as long as the cement output is sufficient.

As for those mountainous areas, the original economy was not active. If you want to expand the official road, it is really not necessary. You only need to harden the original foundation into cement pavement.

The construction of the empire's infrastructure required a lot of manpower and material resources, which also boosted the empire's domestic demand and accelerated its economic development.

"Comprehensive construction has begun to open up the official road to Negese in the southern part of the empire, and the first batch of coal and iron ore in Negese has been mined, and the quality is very good."

"Construction of the Steel City in Negese has begun. Due to road problems, it is estimated that it will take at least three months, or before the end of the year, to be completed..."

"The official road from Xiangfan City to Jinling City is under construction. It is estimated that it will take another month to complete, and the construction of Jinling City has officially begun..."

"The stones and wood for building the city were transported from the nearby Yunmeng Mountains. Fortunately, Pingnan General Xuanyuan Zhiheng fully cooperated with this matter and sent [-] troops to support it. The progress was very smooth..."

"The last point is that the Ministry of Accounts needs to pay for the next phase of the project, which is about 8000 million taels of silver!"

Mr. Dong continued to report.

These projects have basically been finalized long ago, and he just reports on the progress, and also asks for money.

Upon hearing this, Lu Hao looked at Tang Yu, the Minister of Household Affairs, and said, "Master Tang, according to Master Dong's budget, allocate funds for the next period of siege."

"Follow the emperor's will."

Tang Yu, the Minister of Household Affairs, didn't look very good, but he still hurried forward to answer.

"Master Tang, you don't have to worry about money. I have given orders to mine a gold mine in the north of Yigama, the holy land of the Qiang people. I guarantee to provide you with at least one billion taels of gold every year!"

Lu Hao comforted with a smile.

What?One billion taels of gold?
Everyone was stunned and completely confused.

According to the exchange ratio of gold and silver, that is 100 billion taels of silver!
The last time Lu Hao robbed, it was only more than 30 billion taels of silver. If such a gold mine can provide one billion taels of silver every year, wouldn't it be developed?
"What? One billion taels of gold? Really?"

Master Tang Yu's eyes were so bright that there were stars in his eyes.

"Of course it's true. This gold mine is located at the junction of the Yigama and Yi ethnic groups, the holy land of the Qiang people. It has rich reserves, and there are several gold mines around it."

"What worries me now is how to spend the money to mine so many gold mines!"

Lu Hao's face was full of distress, and he seemed to be stern on purpose.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, no matter how much money you have, I can still spend it."

Tang Yu was filled with joy and said loudly.

All the ministers couldn't help but smile.
