Don't make trouble, let's build infrastructure!

The young man in a bright yellow dragon robe stepped down the simple ladder brought by the servant, he raised his hand, and said in a familiar voice without any ups and downs: "Pingshen."

Tong Ran followed the crowd to thank him, he lowered his eyebrows and did not look directly at Tianyan as usual.

Su Jin followed beside Chu Jun, and he noticed that His Majesty's eyes swept over the ministers, and stayed in Tong Ran's direction for a moment.And Tong Ran seemed unconscious, with lowered eyebrows and lowered eyes like everyone else.

After careful calculation, Master Tong has not entered the palace for more than a month, and His Majesty has not been to Zhuangzi, nor has he even been announced.

According to Su Quan, Tong Ran has eaten well and slept soundly for more than a month. Apart from being busy, the only trouble is that his tiger doesn't like to talk to him, and he doesn't see the slightest fear of losing his sacred heart.

Hey.

Su Jin secretly sighed more than once, he has already seen His Majesty's thoughts, but it is not easy to take down this Lord Tong.

Chu Jun only glanced at Tong Ran and didn't look at him again.

Others thought they hadn't seen each other for more than a month, but in fact, he turned into a little tiger and saw Tong Ran every day.Although Tong Ran's refusal on the day of delivering the dumplings made him very frustrated, but these days, seeing Tong Ran courting him as a little tiger in every possible way, Chu Jun still calmed down a little bit.Just a little bit.

Last night, he kindly touched Tong Ran's fur for a while, just for a while, and he didn't find it very comfortable.Absolutely not!

The Ministry of Rituals was considerate and the sacrificial ceremony went smoothly.

After the ceremony, Tong Ran stomped his feet, intending to go back to enjoy the fire as soon as possible, but saw Su Jin coming quickly with two servants.

"Master Tong." Su Jin saluted.The two servants behind him lowered their heads, and one of them was holding a large tray with a cloth covering his head, so he couldn't see what was on it.

Su Jin uncovered the cloth and said to Tong Ran, "This is the fox fur cloak that His Majesty personally rewarded."

The waiter obeyed and handed the tray to Tong Ran.

Tong Ran had been in the cold for a long time, and when he saw fur products, he subconsciously wanted to wrap them around his body, but he resisted the urge and asked, "Can I see Your Majesty?"

Su Jin apologized, "Your Majesty has returned to the palace."

Tong Ran nodded: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for me." He picked up the fox fur cloak from the tray. The cloak was dark gray.

Su Jin said a few more words to Tong Ran, but got no response from him. He stretched out his hand in front of his eyes and asked tentatively, "Master Tong?"

"Ah?" Tong Ran regained consciousness and apologized, "Tong was distracted just now, father-in-law forgive me."

"Your Majesty Tong, you are welcome. The miscellaneous family has to go back to serve you, so I won't say much. Take care, Your Excellency." Su Jin said, bowed his hands, and hurried away with the two servants.

After walking some distance, the little servant at the back stepped forward and said, "Master, why don't you say that again? Master Tong probably didn't hear it."

The other servant also had doubts on his face.

These two are Su Jin's confidantes, he said in a low voice: "Since you haven't heard, then there is no need to persuade them, they are all fate."

What he said just now was originally to persuade Tong Ran to go to His Majesty to give in, if there is any misunderstanding, he should also explain it clearly.But Tong Ran was distracted and didn't hear it.It's meaningless to repeat the same words a second time. Besides, Mr. Tong obviously had mood swings after getting His Majesty's cloak. His dissuasion may be superfluous, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't repeat it.

The imperial chariot walked slowly, as if waiting for something.

Su Jin and the others quickly caught up with the team.As soon as he arrived, he was called into the chariot by Chu Jun to answer.

"What did he say?" Chu Jun asked.

"Returning to His Majesty, Mr. Tong said that he wanted to see His Majesty, but His Majesty had gone far away, so I decided to return to him." Su Jin said.

Chu Jun was silent for a while, neither praised nor reprimanded.

Su Jin pondered for a moment in the silence, and finally said: "Besides, after Master Tong got His Majesty's cloak, he was stunned for a while, and the younger one said two or three words to him, but he didn't return."

Chu Jun glanced at him: "What did you say?"

Su Jin sneered: "It's just some... words to persuade him to come and give in to His Majesty."

"Mind your own business." Chu Jun said in a deep voice.

"Yes, I'm too talkative." Su Jin smiled apologetically.

Chu Jun didn't speak any more, and opened the curtain of the dragon chariot a little, and it was quiet outside, except for the servants and the imperial guards, there was no one pedestrian.

When he became a little tiger, every time he went out in the car, Tong Ran liked to tell him to look outside.He was not interested, so he looked at it perfunctorily, and asked to go back to the car and sit down. Every time Tong Ran had to think about it, saying that his little tiger didn't have the curiosity of a cub.

"Where are the people in the capital?" Chu Jun asked, he had long passed the time when his curiosity was strong, but suddenly he missed that scene a little bit.

"Your Majesty, because of today's sacrificial ceremony, I avoided it." Su Jin said.

"It's because I want to come." Chu Jun said.

"Yes, the Ministry of Rites is afraid that His Majesty may make a mistake." Su Jin said.

Chu Jun lowered his eyes and waved his hand to make Su Jin back away.

Tong Ran wrapped himself in a fox fur cloak and went back to Zhuangzi. Because the cloak was so thick, he even sweated a little.

Su Quan recognized the cloak at a glance, and said, "Your Majesty rewarded it?"

Tong Ran nodded, keenly captured Su Quan's emotions, and asked, "Eunuch knows it?"

"Of course I recognize it." Su Quan smiled, "This cloak was originally a birthday present given to His Majesty by the former Empress. Later, when the Empress passed away, Her Majesty missed his mother, so he asked someone to add a piece of fur and changed the length. to today."

Tong Ran stopped undoing his cloak.

When he put on the cloak, he noticed a familiar smell on it, and guessed it was Chu Jun's personal belongings.But never thought that it would be so precious.

Su Quan smiled again and said: "Your Majesty is willing to reward you with this dress, it must be because he attaches great importance to you."

"En." Tong Ran replied softly, feeling a little complicated.

He went back to his room, took off his cloak, and the kitten and the little tiger were warming up by the charcoal basin together.

"Cubs, little tigers." Tong Ran called them.

The little tiger glanced at him, reluctantly responded, and then lazily lay down on the soft cushion.

The little cat found that the tiger was no longer jealous of the Twolegs, so he ran over and meowed flatteringly at the Twolegs that would give him food.

Tong Ran stroked the cat's head, and quietly observed the tiger's expression.

Doesn't seem angry.

"Cub," Tong Ran leaned closer to the little tiger lying on the cushion warming the fire, "Can you pet it for me?"

"Wow!" With a wave of the tiger's paw, Tong Ran was driven away.

I know how to play tigers.

If I had known it would be like this, I shouldn't have given him a cloak, and made him suffer from the cold!

The little tiger turned his head and ignored Tong Ran.

Tong Ran smirked twice, his Zai Zai seemed not so angry anymore.

After the sacrificial ceremony, the road construction project officially started. Tong Ran didn't see Shen Xi again for nearly a month, and even several other officials from the Ministry of Industry who were included in the Road Cleaning Department disappeared.

In addition, he also found that people in the household department were always worrying.

Tong Ran took the time to ask Wu Huan, and Wu Huan said with a sad face: "The cost of building the road is higher than expected. Besides the road itself, there are also some people who need to be demolished. Not only will they be given new houses, but also fields. The piles are all silver coins!"

Tong Ran nodded, he understood the difficulties of the Ministry of Finance very well.Road construction is a large project with a large investment and a long payback period. Although the local governments will share half of the cost, it is also a considerable expenditure on the national treasury and local governments.

I think when Xiaoguo County built roads, he borrowed a lot from the county out of his own pocket.

borrow?

Tong Ran suddenly thought of something.

Among the investment and wealth management products, there is one called... yes, treasury bonds.

He has never bought it, but he has heard a little about it. It is a bond issued by the state. It is based on national credit and borrows from the public, and promises to pay interest and repay the principal within a certain period of time.

The financial constraints of the imperial court were due to road construction. If such bonds were issued, some could be raised.

Dacheng has been established for more than 200 years, and now the government is stable, so it should have a sufficient foundation.

Tong Ran thought about it for a long time, but he didn't rashly mention it to Wu Huan or anyone in the household department. This matter is very novel and involves a wide range of aspects, and it will cause controversy if not careful.The safest way is to discuss it directly with Chu Jun, and then he will order the Ministry of Accounts to handle it.

Tong Ran sighed, and went to the bedside to hug the sleeping tiger cub.

The relationship between him and His Majesty is so stiff now, how can we talk to him.

It has been nearly two months, but Tong Ran always avoided thinking about what happened that night, because as soon as he thought about it, he wanted to bury his head in the little tiger's fur and never come out to see anyone again.

"Ah——" Tong Ran hugged the sleeping tiger cub and buried her head in the fur on its back, "Why am I so stupid!"

Tong Ran tapped his head twice.

"Wow." Lalan let out a tiger roar.

Tong Ran said "Huh?" and looked up, the little tiger's round green eyes were staring at him.

"Hey." Tong Ran let go of the little tiger with a smirk, for fear that it would wave its paws again in displeasure. In the past two months, the little cub has really not been friendly to him.

The little tiger looked at Tong Ran.

What is this kid going crazy?

But what he just said was right, it was really stupid.

After the little tiger looked at it, he jumped down from the collapse and got on the table again.

"Wow!"

Tong Ran trotted over to pour tea for the boy.

The little tiger drank tea quietly, and Tong Ran sat down by the table, leaning his head against the table, and said inarticulately: "Zai Zai, do you think I want to see Your Majesty?"

The little tiger glanced at him, but didn't respond.

He wants to see himself?

The little tiger remembered the embarrassing experience of being passionate about himself last time, and continued to drink water with a blank expression.

"Why don't you disappear?" Tong Ran said again, looking sideways at the little tiger.

The little tiger is still drinking water.

"But I can see it." Tong Ran said, turning his neck and turning his head to the other side.

The little tiger moved its ears, can you see?Have something to say?

Tong Ran groaned with his face down.

It's not that he doesn't want to see him, it's just that he hasn't figured out how to tell Chu Jun, what to say, how to say, he hasn't thought about a single word.Or it should be said that he subconsciously avoided this matter.

Chu Jun is the king of a country. If he wants to get married, he must have an heir.

To fall in love with such a person, Tong Ran can write a sadomasochistic romance with his knees, and he doesn't want to be the protagonist in the book.

"Ah!!" Tong Ran muffled again.

The little tiger was startled and almost kicked over the water glass: "Wow!"

Before its voice fell, Tong Ran's face suddenly enlarged in front of him, and he only heard him say: "Zai Zai, come with me to see His Majesty."

Little Tiger:……

Entering a palace requires a tiger to accompany him, which is really promising.
