"Is it true?"

Lin Yu's slender hands held each other tightly, with an extremely nervous expression.

She has been married to Lu Chensheng for a long time, and her stomach has not moved, although she heard from her husband that if she can't conceive a child, it may be because of the man.

But my husband definitely has no problems in this regard. If she can't conceive a child, it can only be her fault.

At this time, hearing the news that she was finally pregnant, Lin Yu could be said to be bursting with joy.

"Please don't worry, ma'am, I've checked the pulse one by one, and there will be no mistakes."

The imperial doctor didn't dare to be careless, and immediately responded when he heard the words.

He and the others have made sure that this kind of thing won't happen to them if they make a mistake.

When Lin Yu heard the words, her pretty face was immediately filled with a moving expression, "Xiao He, hurry up and watch!"

This is a happy event, doctors who have always been able to get a reward, but Lin Yu's status is different now, so the reward will naturally be heavier.

What's more, now that all three of them are happy, the reward should naturally be heavier.

The imperial doctors didn't delay, and quickly accepted them one by one, expressing their thanks.

Then, the imperial physicians wrote some anti-abortion prescriptions and some precautions, and then withdrew them.

After that, every once in a while, they just need to come back to see the empress to make sure that the fetus is fine.

Lu Chensheng looked at the faces of the three girls who were full of joy, and thought about it for a while. They were considered pregnant at the same time. I'm afraid it wasn't at that time when he asked the three girls to sleep together.

Not long after the imperial doctors left, the good news from the palace spread immediately.

At this time, I don't know who the three daughters are pregnant with the prince, but among the three daughters, there is still a chance of a prince, right?

In this way, it is almost certain that the Xinghan Empire has a successor.

Thinking about it this way, the ministers who heard the news immediately felt very relieved.

"It's really a good thing. The empresses in the harem are all pregnant now, so there is no problem in giving birth to a prince. In this way, the Xinghan Empire will not have to worry about having no successors."

When Li Daifu heard the news, he happily shared the news with his colleagues.

When the colleagues heard this, they all looked happy, "If it is true, it is a great thing! We have been urging for so long before, and we don't seem to care much about it. Fortunately, we are still worried. , Does the Holy Majesty not care about this matter?

Unexpectedly, at this moment, all three empresses are pregnant. In this way, there is no need to worry about this matter! "

Gishizhong on the side also nodded repeatedly, unable to hide the joy on his face.

"Isn't it? It's still Chinese New Year, and with so much good news, God bless me Xinghan!"

Li Daifu followed suit and nodded.

Last year, the people in the city donated a lot of supplies, which reduced the pressure on the household department a lot.

It is not easy for him to let him have a little money on hand at this time.

Thinking about that time, when I thought about the disaster relief and the situation in the treasury, my hair almost turned white.

And the actions of the common people immediately enriched the money in the treasury.

The people in Xinghan City can be considered quite wealthy now, they donated a lot of silver a year ago, and there are also those merchants.

Except for disaster relief, many of them have flowed into the national treasury, which is good news for Li Daifu.

"Pass me the previous memorials, and I will make good arrangements for the money allocation in the future."

Li Daifu thought of this, and gave another order.

The current situation of the Xinghan Empire also has many disadvantages.

At present, there are only about five cities that can provide silver to the national treasury. The rest of the cities are constantly asking for money from the dynasty.

The Holy Majesty exempted the people from taxes, and many people did not have to pay taxes in the following taxes.

Even if it is necessary, compared to this place, the taxes they pay will still be paid by them when they arrive.

The construction of water conservancy, as well as tree planting, road rest, extensive farming and business, many projects have been planned before.

But these plans all needed money. In this way, the insignificant tax money collected by this place still needs appropriation from the imperial court in the end, so that the city can prosper and the people in the city can live a prosperous life.

Chapter 7 Spring Rain

In the entire Xinghan Empire, there are a total of 230 eight large cities, [-] small cities, and countless villages.

With so many cities, there are only five that can pay taxes now.

It can be said that this is to use the taxes of the five cities to help the other cities improve themselves so that they can catch up with these five cities.

Of these five cities, three are the ancient capitals of the former dynasty, the remaining one is Xinghan City, and the other is a city occupied by a huge family.

Because of this, that place not only guaranteed its own development, but also paid a lot of taxes along the way.

This place is Du Rufang's family.

It can be said that among the current aristocratic families, Du Rufang's aristocratic family is the most powerful group. If they are given some time, it is not impossible to become the number one aristocratic family.

According to the accounts handed down from various places, Li Daifu estimates that there are ten cities that will not need the resources of the Xinghan Dynasty after this year.

In these ten cities, those old aristocratic families took the lead in building workshops and roads, expanding business routes, and developing the economy.

Once these ten cities start, life will get better and better in the future.

At this time, Li Daifu also understood why the Holy Majesty stayed behind at the critical moment even though he had taken action against these aristocratic families.

Didn't do anything to kill them all.

Now it seems that the Holy One still has his reasons. With these families, the Xinghan Empire will develop much faster.

In addition to these, there are hundreds of cities that need the support of the Xinghan Empire, which is really extremely difficult.

Li Daifu felt a headache because he had to consider where to support first.

On the other side, there was a lot of joy in the palace.

Lin Yu was pregnant for the first time, so she had little experience, but Qiong Yue and Bai Yi were much calmer and gave Lin Yu a lot of experience.

As for the maids in the palace, once they made Lin Yu happy at this time, there would be no shortage of rewards.

The court ladies only came in to ask for some errands, and they would still leave the palace in the future, except for some orphans who were adopted, and even if they were old, they would still be outside the palace, and the rest would still leave the palace.

These rewards of money still make the maids extremely happy.

The next day, the ships in Xinghan City slowly moved out.

The ships are filled with all kinds of goods, as well as supplies, fruits and vegetables.

These supplies can last for a period of time, and after the people on the ship find a new continent, they also need to dock to replenish the supplies.

The boat started, and a lot of people from Xinghan City came to watch.

At this time, they still don't know the significance of this ship's sailing, they just simply see such a huge fleet dispatched, and the flags on the ship are waving in the wind, which makes people look proud.

This is their Xinghan Empire, which was able to build such a huge fleet just now!

The common people don't know that almost all the money in the shipbuilding comes from those families.

But even if they knew it, they wouldn't feel that those aristocratic families had anything to do with it. After all, the flag on the ship now belonged to the Xinghan Empire.

The ships lined up to leave, and after more than an hour, all the ships left the Xinghan Empire, arranged the route that had been planned before, and left in a mighty way.

When the ship is returning, it will be loaded with countless commodities.

At that time, the treasury can also be heavily enriched.

After the Spring Festival, the beginning of spring will soon be ushered in.

At the beginning of spring, the people suddenly got busy, and the figure of plowing began to appear again. The water buffalo pulled the Quyuan plow and plowed the fields easily.

Talented scholars also like to go out for outings at this time.

The water in the river is still clear, a bit bitingly cold.

The soldiers who went out to relieve the disaster also returned one after another. After the house was built, they all came back together, and there was no need to stay.

After returning to the team, the training in the team started again.

Lu Chensheng also started to go to court day after day, dealing with government affairs.

In his spare time, Lu Chensheng would also plant some peach trees in the harem.

When a spring rain falls, the feeling of spring suddenly becomes strong, and the willow trees that change from the river course all grow green shoots.

At this moment, the surrounding area of ​​Xinghan City is already surrounded by spring scenery.

Unlike the appearance of Lu Chensheng who just came here, there are all signs of desolation outside, and a vast piece of loess is the impression of most common people.

But at this moment, at a glance, it is full of vitality, which makes people see the appearance of the prosperous age at a glance.

Lu Chensheng was sitting in the imperial study, with the continuous spring rain falling outside.

Spring is still a bit cold, and the two girls, Yueyue and Yueyue, don't wear too thick clothes, mainly because of the silk and satin brought in as tribute, which keep them extremely warm.

Therefore, you don't need to wear too bloated, you can keep warm.

The three daughters of Qiongyue are all pregnant now, and the maids are extra cautious, although generally speaking, nothing will happen.

The responsibility of taking care of Yueyue and Yueyue's two daughters basically fell on Chuwu Xiaohe.

There is no need to go to the bank on the fifth day of the junior high school. The few people who have been taught can now manage the bank well.

In the imperial study, Lu Chensheng looked at the memorials submitted by various places, which contained descriptions of the situation of each place, population statistics, and resources needed by the Xinghan Dynasty.

Beside the imperial study room, there is a huge sand table with descriptions of the placement of each city.

According to the reports submitted by various places, Lu Chensheng sorted out the information and placed them on the sand table. In this way, Lu Chensheng can see the current situation of various places more clearly through the sand table.

As far as the situation under Lu Chensheng's control at the moment is concerned, many places in the Xinghan Empire are now below the extreme poverty line, even the extreme poverty line has not been reached.

It is conceivable how bad the current situation in these places is.

"The Ministry of Industry spends so much money every year to build roads and water conservancy, but the money put into it doesn't seem to have much effect in the entire Xinghan Empire."

Li Daifu stood aside and said in a deep voice.

He looked at the huge sand table beside him, and his heart was a little shaken. Why didn't he think of getting such a big sand table to understand the entire Xinghan Empire?

Although this sand table is somewhat inaccurate, due to the collation of data, human geography is recorded on each place, so it can make up for the shortcomings, and it can also be more intuitive.

When Lu Chensheng heard this, Wang Tianxun from the Ministry of Industry was a little dissatisfied before he said anything.

"Don't Mr. Li know the importance of water conservancy roads?"

This guy, why did he start talking about the water conservancy road? This is something the Holy Majesty has asked for a long time ago.

Chapter 7 Treat better

Li Daifu glanced at Wang Tianxun.

"I don't mean that, but I just think that since such a small road can't play a short-term role for the Xinghan Empire, it's better to spend the money where it should be used."

Li Daifu felt that this sum of money was spent, but it was too difficult to see the benefits immediately.

In addition, it is even more difficult to build good roads in such a large place, so it is even more difficult.

After Li Daifu thought about it, he might as well think that the money should be spent on what is needed for the time being.

For example, all cities today need to be developed, but this requires a lot of money. If the money is used in these places, it will be much better.

When Wang Tianxun heard this, he suddenly lost his temper.

What Li Daifu said is true. It is really too expensive to build roads and canals.

"Holy Majesty"

Wang Tianxun looked towards Lu Chensheng, wanting to see how the Holy Majesty would make a choice.

"The road still needs to be repaired. If it is not repaired now, it will be too late when it is needed. Moreover, after the road is repaired, the mobilization of soldiers and horses, and the transportation of grain and grass will be much faster. This is not only related to business, but also military use."

Lu Chensheng rejected Li Daifu's proposal. Although the other party's proposal has the other party's benefits in it, but from a long-term perspective, this road construction cannot be stopped.

After hearing this, Li Daifu fell silent after thinking about it.

What the Holy One said makes sense.

Although he wanted to say that the country and the people of the Xinghan Empire are peaceful now, there will be absolutely no military fronts, but no one can guarantee this kind of thing, and the rest is hard to say, only the Tartars on the grassland are still peeping at the Han dynasty at this moment.
