Chapter 545 Emperor Yu has come to visit us, what should we do?

The next day, early in the morning.

Prince Yong's Mansion.

Chen Gong and others gathered in the main hall again. The atmosphere was the same as yesterday. Now the enemy is dark and we are clear, there is no way to attack, it is impossible to guard against it!

How can such a large Lingzhou city be completely hidden?

"Wen He, is there any news from my lord?"

"My lord will have to wait until tomorrow at the earliest to arrive in Lingzhou."

"Have you ever found out His Majesty's whereabouts?"

Chen Gong looked at Jia Xu, who shook his head slightly and was about to speak when he saw a figure running in in a hurry!

"grown ups!"

"Um?"

Jia Xu's eyes narrowed and he asked in a deep voice: "Found it?"

"Um!"

The man nodded heavily, Jia Xu's eyes lit up, and Chen Gong beside him couldn't wait to ask: "Where is he now?"

"Just outside my Prince Yong's Mansion!"

"..."

The hall instantly became dead silent. Chen Gong forced out a smile. Di Renjie on the side also smiled bitterly and said: "It's good to find the person. At least it's better than not being able to touch the person for a long time!"

"yes!"

"Now that His Majesty has come to our door, everything is easy to handle."

The three of them looked at each other and walked out of the house together.

In front of Prince Yong's Mansion.

Yaozi stood in front of the door with a look of fear on his face, but Emperor Yu was calm and calm, with his hands behind his back, looking at the bustling crowd in the palace, while Su Chi and others had faces full of anticipation.

I haven’t seen the second master for so long, and I don’t know how cool the second master’s life is now!

Not long after, noisy footsteps sounded, and a group of people walked out of the mansion. The leader was not Chen Gong and the others, but King Sheng, who had been staying in the mansion as a guest. Ji Jiu pushed him out.

Seeing Emperor Yu's figure, everyone quickened their pace again. Before everyone could see the ceremony, Emperor Yu stepped forward and said with a smile: "I am paying a private visit incognito, no ceremony required!"

"yes!"

"Father, mother, concubine, please come inside!"

"Um!"

Emperor Yu was not polite. He looked at Concubine Xian and said with a smile, "Let's go. This is our first time at our son's house. Let's go in and have a look!"

"Um!"

Concubine Xian looked around, suddenly stopped, looked at King Sheng and asked: "Chen'er, where is Fan'er?"

As soon as he said this, Emperor Yu was stunned for a moment, looked at Ning Chen, and said playfully: "Yes, since you know the news of my arrival in person, why don't you see the second brother coming out to greet you?"

"Back to my father, I went to inspect the place and am not at home now."

"oh?"

Emperor Yu raised his brows and said with a smile: "This boy has always been lazy. He will not move his butt unless there is something particularly important."

"Tell me, what happened?"

"this……"

Chen Gong coughed lightly, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, there is nothing important. Your Majesty is going down to inspect the spring plowing."

"I see!"

Emperor Yu nodded nonchalantly and asked no more questions. He walked into Prince Yong's Mansion and looked at the gorgeously dressed figures walking through them. He walked hurriedly and asked doubtfully: "Who are these people?"

"They are all businessmen!"

"merchant?"

Emperor Yu frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Why are there so many businessmen in the palace?"

"Your Majesty does not know that the office of the Huainan Commercial Bureau is located in the palace. Therefore, all merchants in Lingzhou City must come to the Commercial Bureau to handle business."

"Commerce Bureau?"

"That's right!" Chen Gong nodded and explained patiently: "The Commercial Bureau is a yamen specially set up by His Highness for merchants. It is responsible for business coordination, chamber of commerce management, business tax customization, merchant access and other matters."

"Go inside and talk about it in detail!"

An hour later, Emperor Yu also had a detailed understanding of Huainan's official system and fell into deep thought for a long time.

"This commercial bureau is really novel, but the tax bureau is worthy of emulation by the imperial court!"

"The Department of Military and Political Affairs corresponds to the Ministry of War of the imperial court, but its responsibilities are more complete than that of the Ministry of War. The Department of Finance corresponds to the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Department of Agriculture corresponds to the Ministry of Household Affairs, but the division of responsibilities is more clear!"

"That's right, I didn't expect that the second child would have such profound insights beyond the official system!"

Emperor Yu sighed in admiration, but Concubine Xian on the side said with a smile: "Didn't your Majesty realize that the core organization of Prince Yong's Mansion is not these three divisions and two bureaus?"

"oh?"

Emperor Yu was also stunned for a moment, but then he came to his senses: "You mean, the Tongzheng Yuan and the Supervisory Yuan?"

"Exactly!"

Concubine Xian's eyes shone with a gleam of wisdom, and she said softly: "The Tongzhengyuan oversees Huainan's government affairs, but it has no right to interfere with taxation, military affairs, finance, agriculture, or even engineering and commerce!"

"In this way, the functions of the General Council will be limited to the inspection and appointment of local officials!"

"The Tongzhengyuan is placed in the middle of the court. Its functions are somewhat similar to the Ministry of Personnel, but it also plays an overview role, and the power is not concentrated. The most important thing is that a supervisory Yuan is specially set up to check and balance the Tongzhengyuan and the General Affairs Yuan. Department of Military Affairs!”

“I didn’t expect that the perfect system of a small Huainan city would be even more rigorous than that of the imperial court!”

Hearing Concubine Xian's sigh, Emperor Yu also looked at Su Chi who was standing aside: "Have you written it all down?"

"Write it down!"

Su Chi handed over a small, scrawled notebook, and Emperor Yu's head was suddenly filled with black lines: "What is this written in?"

"puff!"

Concubine Xian also laughed out loud, looked at Su Chi and said, "Su Chi, it's time to practice calligraphy after you go back. I just know if it's okay to look for flowers and ask willows!"

"After all, girls in brothels also like talented people with good handwriting!"

"Ahem!"

Su Chi looked embarrassed and quickly lowered his head and said yes.

"Okay, since the second child is not here, Chen Gong, tell me what you have done since the second child came to Huainan!"

"yes!"

Chen Gong slightly cupped his hands and said slowly: "Since Your Highness came to Huainan, he has worked hard to clean up the mess left by King Huai while wiping out banditry from all directions!"

"Your Majesty must also have heard about the banditry in Wumei Mountain. Tens of thousands of people have gathered against the king from all walks of life. Your Majesty has just arrived, with no troops and no money... It took nearly a year..."

"etc!"

Emperor Yu suddenly interrupted Chen Gong's words, his eyes became extremely dangerous, and he said calmly: "Chen Gong, you have to think twice before speaking. I, Dayu, am guilty of deceiving the emperor!"

After hearing what Emperor Yu said, Liu Yuan and the others also winked at Chen Gong crazily and whispered, "Your Majesty already knows!"

Chen Gong was sweating profusely on his face and bowed quickly: "Your Majesty, His Highness King Yong personally went to Wumei Mountain to solve the banditry problem, led the people of Huainan to reclaim wasteland, and tried to sow potatoes, sweet potatoes and other crops!"

"Now, we in Huainan are developing water conservancy projects to divert water from the Huaihe River southward."

"Um!"

Emperor Yu smiled, stood up slowly, and said softly: "I heard that you are the prefect of Lingzhou City. In that case, please take me to inspect the treasury first!"

"Oh, by the way, start from the palace's treasury!"
