Looking at the charcoal fire set up on the side, and the skewers in the hands of the two, he narrowed his eyes and said something.

Lu Chensheng was so frightened by the sound that he almost threw the skewers out of his hands.

Turning around, seeing the two ladies standing behind her, she immediately became a little embarrassed.

"It's nothing, isn't it because the ladies have fallen asleep and don't want to wake up the two ladies?"

Lu Chensheng replied.

The two girls didn't look like they wanted to blame Lu Chensheng. Seeing their husband getting up to make food in the middle of the night, they were probably hungry, and felt a little distressed.

He looked a little unforgiving of Lu Chensheng, but he still sat down and helped Lu Chensheng roast the skewers.

"Why did the lady get up? Did I disturb you?"

Lu Chensheng moved aside and asked a question.

The two girls shook their heads when they heard the words, "Get up to look at the child, and then I heard movement in the yard, so I came out to have a look."

Lu Chensheng didn't believe it when he heard this, there was no such a coincidence.

But both of them said that, and it was not easy for Lu Chensheng to continue talking.

"When will Mr. Xiang be enthroned? Can you choose a good day for enthroning?"

Bai Yi asked a question while helping to bake.

Lu Chensheng shook his head when he heard the words, "The imperial palace has not been built yet, how to get on the throne, the various precious woods that the craftsmen want are hard enough to find, and some of them have to be soaked in tung oil for several months after processing.

Just these things, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to build them. "

Lu Chensheng didn't even go to see the construction progress of the palace.

It is vaguely heard that the foundation has been laid a long time ago, but the rest is not so clear.

Bai Yi couldn't help frowning when she heard the words, "The construction of this palace is too slow, but the next progress should be much faster. There are a lot of wood in the two palaces, which have been transported back before. Already, it might be useful.”

"What wood?"

Hearing this, Lu Chensheng gnawed on the meat skewers in his hand and asked a question.

"It seems to be a sensitive wood such as small-leaf red sandalwood. It seems that these woods are available."

There are quite a few brought back from the two imperial palaces, enough to be used here.

In addition, now that the two dynasties are extinct, you can go to various places to buy them.

Considering Lu Chensheng's prestige, the common people are still happy to find these timbers and contribute them.

"Then it will be built at that time, just choose a time to ascend the throne."

Lu Chensheng replied after hearing the words, but he didn't care that much.

"Uncle"

Hearing about the palace, Xiaoyu suddenly spoke weakly.

"what happened?"

Lu Chensheng looked back, Xiaoyu, who had an uneasy face, felt a little terrified when he saw his expression, and felt strange.

"What's the matter, just say it directly, don't be so restrained."

"Well, the two jade pillars my uncle bought before were used."

Xiaoyu's face was a little uneasy, she had forgotten about it, if Lu Chensheng and Bai Yi hadn't talked about the palace, she would have remembered it.

At this moment, he hurriedly reported it, fearing that Lu Chensheng would blame him.

Lu Chensheng didn't react at this moment, he looked puzzled, "Is it used? What is it used for?"

"That's right, it seems to be used as a pillar in the palace."

Xiaoyu said with some apprehension.

Lu Chensheng was stunned, even Bai Yi and Qiong Yue were stunned.

Used as a pillar?What a joke!

That is jade worth millions of taels of silver!Still Hetian jade!

Used it as a pillar?

Just such a pillar cost Lu Chensheng millions of taels of silver!

"What's the matter? The craftsmen who built the palace came to ask for it?"

Lu Chensheng asked intently.

Xiaoyu nodded, her uneasy expression still remained, "Well, when they came, they said that this jade pillar was the only way to show my majesty as a star man, and that it was in line with Feng Shui or something."

Xiaoyu actually didn't understand that much, but after listening to what they said, such a jade pillar can be used to show majesty, and then he agreed in a daze.

At that time, Lu Chensheng and Bai Yi were not there, and Qiongyue was not there, so these people asked Xiaoyu to talk.

What do you say that this pillar is extremely important, the time is just right now, and it will be difficult to get on it if it is late.

In short, Xiaoyu was fooled.

Xiaoyu turned around and thought about it, and felt that if those two huge jade pillars stood on top of the hall, it would indeed be extremely luxurious.

Lu Chensheng opened his mouth, and Qiongyue and Bai Yi at the side also looked over together, and they both saw the helplessness on each other's faces.

"Uncle, Xiaoyu is wrong."

Seeing that Lu Chensheng didn't speak, Xiaoyu quickly bowed his head to admit his mistake.

She really shouldn't be in charge of this matter. The main thing was that at that time, she said she had to have this thing, and Xiaoyu agreed after being urged.

Lu Chensheng waved his hand helplessly, "Forget it, I don't blame you, just use it."

It is estimated that it has already been installed, and it may be difficult to remove it.

Lu Chensheng knew that it was basically impossible to take it down, so he didn't think about blaming Xiaoyu.

After dawn, go to the palace to have a look.

These guys are fooling their maids like this now.

Seeing that my uncle didn't blame herself, Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Husband, this matter"

Qiong Yue looked over.

"I'll see and deal with it then."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chensheng replied.

As for the specifics, we will still see and talk about it at that time.

Qiong Yue nodded slightly upon hearing this.

"Looking at it this way, the palace is almost finished?"

Even this jade pillar is going to be used, it should be used in the main hall.

"My husband doesn't care about his own palace, so why ask others?"

Qiongyue was a little helpless, there was no one who was about to become emperor, but she didn't care about her own palace.

"Isn't this too busy? Anyway, someone is building it, so why worry about it?"

Lu Chensheng waved his hand and said, in his opinion, there is nothing to worry about.

But right now, depending on the situation, it’s impossible not to go and see for yourself.

Qiongyue and Bai Yi sat aside and did not touch Lu Chensheng's barbecue, knowing that Lu Chensheng was hungry, how could they bear to touch Lu Chensheng's barbecue.

After waiting for half an hour, Lu Chensheng was finally full, washed up and went back to the house to rest together.

The next day, when Lu Chensheng woke up, the wine he drank last night suddenly dissipated, and he was full of energy.

Chapter 596 Palace Progress

It's already winter now.

Lu Chensheng could feel that there was a little bit of coolness in the morning.

Speaking of which, this kind of coolness is quite comfortable, as long as you add a little clothes, you will be very comfortable.

After breakfast, Lu Chensheng went out and walked towards the palace.

Gu Zhifang followed Lu Chensheng and handed over a booklet in his hand.

"My lord, this is the list of newly recruited Jinyiwei, and there are still silent guards, please take a look."

Lu Chensheng took a look at it, and handed it back, "No need, just look at the recruitment yourself, and it's fine if you think it's okay."

Show him this booklet, he can see something, besides, Gu Zhifang and Lu Chensheng are quite at ease in handling affairs.

When Gu Zhifang heard the words, he also said more and directly put the booklet in his arms.

"Have children started to be recruited? Some people are trained from an early age, and it will be better."

"Some people have been recruited, and outstanding children will be selected one after another."

Gu Zhifang immediately replied when he heard the words.

Lu Chensheng nodded, "Have many people come to Seoul to study medicine recently?"

Lu Chensheng plans to recruit medical students on a large scale, so that these people can serve the common people after learning some medicine.

The site is much larger, and if the medical center is opened, it will need to open a lot, and this will increase the gap for people who study medicine.

"Currently, there are 360 five males and 890 eight females who come to Seoul to study medicine."

"There are more women?"

Lu Chensheng was stunned for a moment.

"At present, the number of women is still increasing, because women make too little contribution at home. In addition to the requirements of adults, women cannot marry too early, and adults have reduced taxes. The common people are grateful and send their daughters to school. Healed."

This is appeal.

Lu Chensheng reduced and exempted so many taxes, and the people were grateful. Lu Chensheng asked the girl to study medicine, and the people naturally responded one after another, wanting to repay the favor.

Of course, there is also the reason why the daughter is not taken seriously.

Hearing this reason, Lu Chensheng had no choice.

This is deeply rooted, and it is not so easy for the common people to reverse their contempt for their daughters at once.

But trust me, things will get better in the future.

"Tartar, is there any movement?"

"Not for the time being. This year, the Tartars are surprisingly honest. No one came south to plunder, but in this way, they will be very sad this winter."

"Can you feel sad compared to last year when you are sad?"

When Lu Chensheng heard this, he immediately sneered.

These guys don't have the time to pay attention to them right now. If Lu Chensheng wants to stabilize the land he just won, it's not enough to wait for them to feel better in the future.

"Where are you going now, sir?"

Gu Zhifang took a look and saw that Lu Chensheng was walking in a strange direction, so he couldn't help asking.

By the way, let the brocade guards on the side be careful.

"Go to the palace to have a look. I heard that all the jade pillars I bought before have been used there. It seems that they have been used as load-bearing pillars."

Gu Zhifang was taken aback when he heard the words, load-bearing pillar?

"My lord is talking about the jade pillar that was bought for tens of thousands of taels of silver?"

Gu Zhifang didn't think of this thing at first, but after thinking about it, he suddenly thought of this thing.

In an instant, Gu Zhifang's eyes widened, and his face was already full of disbelief.

"Yes, those two jade stones."

"That is a jade pillar worth millions of taels of silver!"

Gu Zhifang couldn't help clapping his hands, not to mention that this thing is expensive, it's completely priceless, and you can't buy it!
