I rely on infrastructure systems to build a prosperous village

Chapter 132 North Korea’s Movement

When Li Lan and his group returned home, Mrs. Wang was sitting in her room in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking. When she heard footsteps and voices in the yard, she quickly collected her thoughts, calmed down, and got up and walked out.

"Mom, we are back."

"Okay, I'm back. Madam Pei, are you tired? Do you want to go to your room and rest for a while?"

Seeing that Mrs. Pei looked a little tired, Mrs. Wang hurried forward.

"Okay, then I won't be so hypocritical. I'm really a little tired."

Li Lan thought that he was careless. Aunt Pei had been traveling for several days and had not had a good rest. She had been out and about for most of the day.

"Aunt Pei, I'm negligent. Mother, please take Aunt Pei to rest for a while. See if there's anything missing in the room."

"Okay. Come on, Sister Pei, I'll take you back to your room to rest."

Mrs. Pei bowed to Mrs. Wang, then walked away arm in arm with Zhang, talking and laughing.

At this time, Li Lan stared at Wang Po's slightly swollen eyes, his heart tightened, and he hurried forward.

"Grandma, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

When Mrs. Wang saw her granddaughter looking worried, she felt a surge of grievance in her heart for some reason and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Seeing that she was about to cry, Li Lan understood a little bit, took her arm and went into Wang Po's room.

Zhonghe Hall of the Bianjing Imperial Palace.

Emperor Huide was reviewing memorials, and Liu Chun was standing by, waiting. Suddenly, Long Yi's figure appeared in the hall. Liu Chun understood and quickly retreated.

"Your Majesty, news has come from Potian."

Emperor Huide paused, holding the brush, and suddenly raised his head. He put down the brush, pinched his nose, and leaned back in his chair.

"explain."

"Potian's letter said that Tuoba Ye was planning to enter Bianjing at the beginning of the year."

Emperor Huide sneered and said in a mocking tone, "He is so brave that he even dares to come right under my nose."

"Your Majesty, Li Chengxuan has recently arrived in Bianjing and visited a number of court officials. According to the spies in each official's residence, he and the officials were simply chatting casually, as if it were just a visit, nothing more."

"Keep a close eye on Tuoba Ye and Li Chengxuan. Don't take action unless absolutely necessary, so as not to alert the enemy."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Emperor Huide pondered for a moment, then asked in a deep voice, "What's going on in the Grand Tutor's Mansion and the First Prince's Mansion?"

"Your Majesty, since Grand Tutor Zhuang left the palace last time, there has been no movement between the two residences, and the eldest prince has not visited the Grand Tutor's residence again."

"Oh, I want to see what strategy my son will come up with in the end."

Thinking of this, a ruthless look suddenly flashed in Emperor Huide's eyes, and he ordered in a cold voice: "Long Yi, have the spies keep a close eye on them. If they make any moves, immediately administer the secret drug."

When these words came out, Long Yi was shocked and quickly bowed his head and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Also, have someone go to Peinan Qingzheng Academy and convey my oral order, ordering Shen Congnan to return to Bianjing in two months."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Long Yi looked up at Emperor Huide, who was sitting at the head of the table, and continued, "Your Majesty, someone from Bozhou Prefecture reported that Lord Zhou has proposed marriage to Lord Renshan, and that the person proposing marriage is none other than Shen Congnan's wife."

Emperor Huide's eyes trembled, and after a while, he chuckled.

"Oh, after all my calculations, this guy is really quick. Since they are already engaged, I can't interfere.

But this result is even better. If Rui'er comes back in the future, this kind lady can be considered half my granddaughter, and she will be a great help to Rui'er. Add Zhou Yuntian to the mix, and my son is better than me."

He glanced at Long Yi and asked in a deep voice, "Anything else?"

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing. Xiangjun's warm clothes and the Anbu people have entered Bianjing today. I estimate that they should be able to reach the palace soon."

When Emperor Huide heard this, he suddenly sat up straight from leaning lazily on the back of the chair and said "good" several times excitedly.

At this moment, Liu Chun walked in hurriedly.

"Your Majesty, An Yi requests an audience."

"Quick announcement."

After a while, an extremely ordinary man walked in, holding a large bag and a food box in his hands.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

"Get up quickly. I want to see what surprise this kind-hearted country gentleman has brought me."

As he spoke, Emperor Huide walked around the dragon table and walked quickly to him.

An Yi quickly opened the big bundle, revealing several pieces of clothing inside. Liu Chun looked surprised and picked up one and unfolded it.

It was the first time that Emperor Huide saw such a simple and uncomplicated clothing style. He was very curious and immediately became interested. He urged Liu Chun, "Quick, Liu Chun, let me try it on."

Seeing his anxious look, Liu Chun held back his smile, walked up and put it on him.

"This clothing is so light and warm. If the soldiers at the border could wear clothes like this, they wouldn't be afraid of the cold in winter, and it would be much lighter when they go to the battlefield."

Emperor Huide touched the clothes on his body carefully. Although the feel was not as smooth as silk brocade, the fabric was definitely wear-resistant.

"Your Majesty, Xiangjun also made a waistcoat that can be worn underneath. It's also light and warm. Xiangjun said that he was able to make such clothes because he was thinking of the soldiers at the border."

"Well, well, well, this benevolent lady has lived up to the name I bestowed upon her."

Speaking of this, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. Why was I a step too late? Otherwise, it would be great if she was my daughter-in-law. But it's okay, being my granddaughter is even closer.

Emperor Huide looked at the food box in An Yi's other hand and asked in surprise, "What is this?"

An Yi quickly opened the food box, revealing soybean sprouts, mung bean sprouts, and peanut sprouts inside.

"Your Majesty, these are the vegetables the local governor has led the people of each village to grow. The green ones are mung bean sprouts, the yellow ones are soybean sprouts, and the rest are peanut sprouts. Here's how to grow them and how to eat them."

Liu Chun took the two letters he handed over and presented them to Emperor Huide.

After reading the two letters in his hands, Emperor Huide was very pleased.

"Liu Chun went to my private treasury and took out 5000 taels. I asked An Yi to take it back to Renshan Xiangjun as a private reward."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"I thank Your Majesty on behalf of my husband. Long live Your Majesty."

An Yi was very excited and kowtowed to express his gratitude.

Looking at An Yi kneeling down to pay his respects, Emperor Huide chuckled and scolded:

"You slaves are really good. When you are with the Renshan Township Lord, your hearts are biased."

An Yi's heart tightened, and he quickly bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."

"Alright, take the banknotes and leave quickly. Don't get in my way here. Protect this kind and kind man, otherwise..."

"Yes, Your Majesty. I will protect you."

After a while, Emperor Huide looked at An Yi's departing figure, thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Chun, announce the Minister of War Yuan Zhongxian, and the Minister of Revenue Zhou Hanmin."

"Yes, Your Majesty."
