And it has always been like a doll, being played with in the palm of his hand.
But he just couldn't understand why Zhai Yuexiu did this.
And heard Li Chengqian’s question.
Zhai Yuexiu chuckled.
She said: "Your Highness, you are overthinking. How could I be so smart and calculate against you?"
"I really want to ask His Highness to do something, but it just happened to happen."
"Besides, I'm just a merchant's daughter, how could I know so many inside stories..."
"So, it's all just a coincidence."
Zhai Yuexiu stood up slowly and said: "But I am very grateful to know that His Highness is willing to send troops for my little girl's friends."
"I believe that His Highness's people will rescue the little girl's friend safely."
"Similarly, I also believe that no corrupt official will survive His Highness's big net."
"In the future, whether it is Liangzhou or Longyou Road, it will be smooth and stable, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment and live in peace."
Zhai Yuexiu gave a slight salute to Li Chengqian and said: "Okay, the little lady has finished what she has to do and what she wants to say, so I will leave first."
After saying this, Zhai Yuexiu turned around slightly and was about to leave.
Li Chengqian quickly caught up and grabbed Zhai Yuexiu's wrist.
He said: "Miss Zhai, what do you want Liangzhou to become, or what do you want Longyou Road to become?"
"become……"
Zhai Yuexiu looked at Li Chengqian in a daze and said, "The way His Highness dreams."
After saying that, she walked out of the government office without hesitation.
Watching the girl's leaving figure, Li Chengqian was stunned for a long time.
After coming back to his senses, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
"This little girl is so interesting..."
…
< br> Earlier, insufficient evidence was not found to bring Zheng Kuan down.
But this time it was different, under the precise calculation of the little girl Zhai Yuexiu.
Zheng Kuan was successfully arrested and imprisoned by Li Chengqian. Although Zheng Kuan still wanted to defend himself, he had no chance this time.
Ever since the Jiangnan Road incident came out, the treasury has become an unshakable enemy in Li Shimin's heart.
After Zheng Kuan was escorted to the capital, after Li Shimin saw the evidence, he almost didn't even put him to trial. He just put him in jail to await questioning, and ransacked Zheng Kuan's home along the way.
To be honest, no one paid much attention to Zheng Kuan's incident at first, including Li Shimin.
After all, he has only been in power for a few years?
Moreover, in a notoriously poor place like Longyou Road, how much money can he be greedy for?
But when the house was searched and the book with financial statistics was placed in front of Li Shimin, the emperor was so shocked that he was speechless for a long time.
Not counting antiques, calligraphy and paintings by famous people, more than thirty large boxes were filled with gold alone.
There was also a whole box of banker's promissory notes, with several million copper coins stored in the bank.
In addition to these, there are also countless properties, shops, manors, real estate, etc.
When the final statistics were calculated, everyone in the court was surprised.
Although the position of inspector is not a small one, it is not that rich.
And after seeing these things, who dares to stand up for Zheng Kuan?
Then why not wait to be investigated and punished by Li Shimin together?
And this incident completely made Li Shimin realize what a corrupt official is.
No matter how poor a place is, corrupt officials will always find ways to put money into their own pockets.
And this also gave Li Shimin the idea of punishing corrupt officials.
On the day when Zheng Kuan's family was confiscated, Li Chengqian sent a letter asking for permission.
He requested that all the money taken from Zheng Kuan's home be sent to Longyou Road for public use.
After hearing this report, Li Shimin changed his old iron rooster behavior.
He directly ordered someone to send the money to Longyou Road and personally handed it over to Li Chengqian.
Along with Qian, there were also talents specially transferred by Li Chengqian from the Northern Desert.
…
Within the government office.
Seeing Li Chengqian, Zhu Guang, who is known as the world's most famous craftsman, walked forward with a smile.
He cupped his hands and said, "His Royal Highness, King Qin, you are well."
Seeing Zhu Guang, Li Chengqian was also happy.
"No matter what, I can be regarded as your guide and your boss, right?"
"You don't even want to visit my house during the holidays."
Li Chengqian pointed at Zhu Guang and said: "You old boy, you are really a ruthless and unjust person."
What he said was naturally a joke.
During this period, Zhu Guang has been busy helping him research steam engines.
He was so sleepless and forgetful of food that he didn't even return home very often, and of course he had no time to take care of Li Chengqian.
Also this time, Li Chengqian asked this guy to come over and help him reshape the scenery of Beimo Factory on Longyou Road, so he had free time.
Zhu Guang chuckled and said, "Isn't it because His Highness is away from home all year round? Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to see you earlier?"
"And, Your Highness."
Zhu Guang asked; "Are you really planning to invest heavily in this place to build a new light industrial base?"
"certainly."
Li Chengqian nodded.
"This place on Longyou Road is full of sand for eight miles out of ten miles."
"It's really hard for the people here to live."
“After much thought, I finally found that only light industrial bases can be built. Located here.”
"Only in this way can the lives of the people here be slightly improved."
Speaking of this, Li Chengqian suddenly changed the subject and said, "By the way, how did you go about the things I asked you to do?"
What he was talking about was, of course, a steam engine.
But the complicated principles of that thing couldn't be solved even by Li Chengqian, a man from later generations of science and engineering.
As a contemporary ancient, how could he develop it?
"The prototype of the steam engine is ready."
"But our craftsmanship still doesn't meet the requirements."
Zhu Guang shook his head and said: "The refined iron is not hard enough, so as long as it is started, the so-called air pump will not be able to withstand the pressure and burst."
This is also a problem that Li Chengqian did not solve at the beginning.
He nodded and said: "It's okay, don't worry, we'll continue researching when I get back."
"but……"
At this time, Zhu Guang suddenly said: "I developed some ideas through the development of steam engines and improved the wind mill. I will build it in a few days and let you see it."
This can be considered a blessing among misfortunes.
When Zhu Guang was developing a steam engine, he discovered that the principle of the steam engine was very similar to that of a wind mill.
Wind mills rely on wind to generate kinetic energy, while steam engines rely on pressure to generate kinetic energy.
That being the case, why can't the two be combined into one?
Zhu Guang has now designed the prototype, but it has not yet been put into use.
Li Chengqian's call this time, to a certain extent, gave him an opportunity to experiment.
Under the leadership of Li Chengqian, Liangzhou's engineering projects also began to proceed in full swing.
Ordinary workers are recruited directly from the local area, while skilled workers are dispatched from the Northern Desert.
It is also because of the existence of these people that Liangzhou's economy began to gradually improve, and Liangzhou City gradually became prosperous and lively from its initial poverty.
