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

"Respectfully send off the emperor." When Chu Jun and Tong Ran left, everyone bowed down in unison.

Yan Qiutong saw His Majesty's and Tong Ran's faces drifting past her eyes one after another, so she didn't dare to raise her head. Although she had never met Sheng, the rule of not looking directly at Tianyan would definitely be taught repeatedly by people like them.

Other people in the garden also lowered their eyebrows and eyes. Chu Jun and Tong Ran passed by some people's peripheral vision, but no one saw that Chu Jun was holding Tong Ran's hand firmly under the wide sleeves that were caressing.

When the two were too far away to be out of sight, King Yu's son spoke first, announcing the beginning of the poetry meeting.

Today the garden gathered the most outstanding young men and women among the nobles in the capital. Many people were very interested in today's poetry meeting, but after the event just now, the people in the garden were always a little distracted. , mixed with low whispers from time to time.

The girls were mostly regretting that His Majesty did not stay in the garden to converse with them, while the young masters exchanged their messages in twos and threes, guessing the intention of His Majesty to summon Tong Ran alone here.

None of them had high official positions, and their understanding of the situation in the court came from the elders in the clan, so they didn't know much about it. In the end, they only came to the conclusion that Tong Ran was valued by His Majesty.

On the contrary, Yan Qiutong and the others got much more information from their parents than other small circles.

"My father said that Your Majesty often goes to find Mr. Tong at the Zhuangzi where they work. His Majesty also lent that Zhuangzi to Mr. Tong for use." Ren Jin's daughter said, recalling his father's words.

"Could it be that your majesty is here to summon Mr. Tong for the project on the village?" the granddaughter of the servant in blue guessed.

"It makes sense." Yan Qiutong said, "I heard that Mr. Fu Ge is very opposed to the current road construction plan. The ongoing project of the Ministry of Industry has not been announced to the public, but Mr. Fu Ge is also against it. Maybe His Majesty has something to discuss with Mr. Tong. , but due to the obstruction of Mr. Fu Ge, I had no choice but to speak at the poetry meeting."

Yan Qiutong's analysis was thorough, and the other girls nodded thoughtfully.

Outside the waterside pavilion, blue waves were rippling, and inside the waterside pavilion, Tong Ran said without expression, without any waves: "Cinderella married the prince and lived a happy life ever since."

"Can't you use some emotion in such a moving story?" Chu Jun said, and handed Tong Ran a snack in person, "You forgot the storytelling skills?"

"I don't have much effort in the first place." Tong Ran said, eating Chu Jun's snacks for him, "Do you still want to listen? You still want me to tell you another story about the ugly duckling."

"No need." The corner of Chu Jun's mouth twitched. He was just looking for an excuse to tease him, but this kid actually took revenge and told him several stories in a flat and boring tone.

Tong Ran picked up the snacks, ate and said, "There is no reaction at all, why don't you go out and tell Ms. Yan and the others."

Chu Jun stuffed him with another snack: "Eat yours."

Tong Ran snickered, finished drinking the tea in the cup, and handed the cup to Chu Jun: "Your Majesty, pour some more tea."

He became more and more able to push his nose on his face. Chu Jun glanced at him, not knowing whether it was helplessness or what, and poured him a full cup of tea with his own hands.

After drinking a cup of hot tea comfortably, Tong Ran ate two pieces of sweet pastries, clapped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, after eating the pastries, the story has been told, why don't we come and have a heart-to-heart talk?"

Chu Jun just added water to the teapot, then put the kettle on the charcoal fire to warm again.He said casually: "What do you want to talk about?" His eyes caught sight of the pastry crumbs on the corner of Tong Ran's mouth, without thinking too much, he leaned over and gently wiped it away with his thumb.

Tong Ran shrank back, a little embarrassed.

"Tell me." Chu Jun's face remained unchanged, as if the ambiguous behavior just now was not his own doing.

Tong Ran cursed secretly, then lowered his head to play with the white jade unicorn pendant around his waist. He smoothed out the tassels adorned on the jade pendant one by one, cleared his thoughts, and said after deliberation: "It will be Jingcha soon. Wait for Jingcha After it's over, I want to go back to Jin Hejian."

He had wanted to talk to Chu Jun about this matter for a long time, but he had never had the chance. Now that the Jingcha is approaching, he really can't delay any longer.

Chu Jun's relaxed expression immediately tightened, and his lips were tightly pursed into a straight line.

"After the Beijing inspection, you can still live in the capital. You need to participate in the cement road and the train. Gu Lan is in charge of Jinhe Supervisor, so there will be no problem." Chu Jun said.He had already figured out that the left servant of the Ministry of Industry was old, and after the Beijing inspection, he would be transferred to an idle position, and then Tong Ran would be called into the Ministry of Industry, so that he could maximize his ability.

Chu Jun was about to tell his plan, but Tong Ran said again: "There is Shen Xi on the cement road, Qiu Le on the train, and Ren Jin in charge of the overall situation. It doesn't matter if I'm there or not."

A gust of wind blew outside, and the blue waves on the surface of the lake outside the water pavilion undulated, slapping the outer wall of the water pavilion.

The sound of water leaking in through the cracks in the windows echoed in the room.

"Why don't you stay?" Chu Jun suppressed for a long time, and finally whispered.

Tong Ran tried to grab his hand, but Chu Jun pulled it away, his relaxed back stretched straight.

Tong Ran withdrew her hand and said, "I still have a lot to do."

"You can do it in Beijing, and I will support it," Chu Jun said.

"Your Majesty, I want to open a school, build a library, an orphanage, and a nursing home. I also want to run a post office, encourage private trade, open factories, and encourage innovation and invention." Tong Ran said, "I know that many of the things I do are There was opposition in the court..."

Before Tong Ran finished speaking, Chu Jun interrupted: "I am here."

Tong Ran's words were cut off, and his thoughts seemed to falter for a moment.He looked at Chu Jun, and gradually smiled gently. He went to pull Chu Jun's hand again, and the little finger hooked his little finger. This time, Chu Jun didn't hide, and his gaze moved down to the hooked little finger of the two of them. .

"I don't hate those who oppose it. Changes grow amid opposition, but what they say is not completely unreasonable. Too drastic changes will bring turbulence and unnecessary internal friction." Tong Ran said.

Chu Jun didn't speak, and acquiesced to Tong Ran's statement.

"So I hope to start from Xiaoguo County, start from Ding County, try it in a small area, keep improving, and then gradually spread to the whole of Dacheng." Tong Randao, "I can't do this in Beijing, here It is the heart of the country and cannot be changed rashly." Tong Ran said.

Chu Jun was in a daze. He had never done these things himself, but he had been in power for many years, and he could understand what Tong Ran said.

"I promise," Tong Ran said, hooking Chu Jun's little finger and gently shaking it, "I'll just start and come back when things are on the right track, okay?"

Chu Jun didn't speak, he raised his little finger and tightly circled Tong Ran's.

Until King Yu announced the end of the poetry meeting, the curious young masters and ladies did not see His Majesty and Tong Ran appearing. After they went home, they naturally communicated with their elders. In this way, Chu Jun came to King Yu’s poetry meeting and summoned Tong Ran alone The news quickly spread to all the high gates in the capital.

Chu Jun didn't say anything clearly that day, Jingcha still had some time, Tong Ran was not in a hurry, and was doing his own thing step by step.The progress of the steam train was very smooth. They laid rails on the open space outside Zhuangzi, and they planned to use it for acceptance of finished products.

The only troublesome thing was that Tong Ran received more and more invitations.

"Yesterday I was the minister of Honglu Temple, the day before yesterday I was a scholar of Hanlin Temple, and today I received a famous invitation from the doctor of Guanglu Temple. He either came to visit or invited me to a certain poetry club and wine bureau. What do you think you were doing at the poetry club that day? I'm being targeted by officials all over the capital." In the evening, Tong Ran spoke to Chu Jun through the white jade unicorn pendant, and complained without any malice.

Chu Jun also knew about these situations through Su Quan. Hearing Tong Ran's complaint, he said in a good mood: "You didn't tell me that you didn't want to go to the poetry fair first? I relieved you, why did you complain more and more?"

"You have hundreds of methods, why did you choose the most high-profile one!" Tong Ran was annoyed.

"If you hadn't called out my identity, they wouldn't have rushed to get acquainted with you," Chu Jun said.

Tong Ran raised his forehead, he heard all the conversation between Yan Qiutong and the others that day, Prince Yu's attitude was so obvious, and there were so few royal relatives in Beijing, a fool would not be able to guess his identity.

"The Beijing inspection will start tomorrow." Chu Jun said suddenly.

After the conversation in the water pavilion that day, what Chu Jun told him was mostly insignificant daily life, and seemed to deliberately avoid the part related to political affairs. I don't know if it was because of his imminent departure or other reasons.

Tong Ran followed him and didn't mention it again, but he didn't want him to mention it suddenly.

"En." Tong Ran said, he was lazily leaning against the head of the bed, playing with the tassels on the jade pendant.

Chu Jun didn't speak for a long time, Tong Ran gradually felt that his righteousness was exhausted, and after urging him a few words, Chu Jun said: "The Beijing inspection is in charge of the Ministry of Officials, and it is inconvenient for me to intervene. You...be careful yourself."

"Don't worry." Tong Ran said.The growth of righteousness is a very important basis for the gains and losses of the main assessment officials of Jingchao during their tenure. Tong Ran dares to say that in the past three years, his growth rate of righteousness has been the fastest in Chengdu. If he can't pass Jingchao, then All Dacheng officials can go home and farm.

Chu Jun understood this and didn't say much. Before ending the call, he added: "You have grown taller recently. I will ask the Shangyi Bureau to measure your size tomorrow."

"Don't be so troublesome," Tong Ran said.He wasn't being polite, but he really didn't think it was necessary to bother the Shangyi Bureau. The same goes for buying ready-made clothes outside, but before he finished speaking, the jade pendant disappeared—Chu Jun unilaterally broke off contact.

Tong Ran pouted, Chu Jun's righteousness was unfathomable, and it must not be the reason for lack of energy, he just didn't want to hear his own objection.

"It's really domineering." Tong Ran whispered, but when she turned her head, she saw the little tiger woke up, looking at him with round green eyes.

This kid was just talking about himself

The little tiger looked at Tong Ran suspiciously.

Tong Ran didn't know it at all, and he hugged the tiger cub in a good mood and said, "By the way, cub, the fabrics in the palace are good, and when Chu Jun is in a good mood, I'll ask him for another piece to make you a quilt, okay?" good?"

The little tiger's round green eyes turned around on Tong Ran. Does this kid want to use what he rewarded him to please him?

Although he was glad that he was thinking of himself, but... what he was thinking of was a tiger. As Chu Jun, he took the things he gave to curry favor with a tiger?

Little Tiger's mood was a bit complicated.
