Chapter 387

In places like Beian, they hadn't found any limestone, so they couldn't build a cement factory—they'd have to ship it from down south. But the southern roads were under construction too, so cement supplies were likely insufficient. Fertilizer was the same—the stockpile from earlier production was still stacked in the warehouse. It looked much better now, with bags piled high, towering like a mountain. But no matter how much, it still wasn't enough. Each household needed three or four bags, and it wasn't just Anping County—there were neighboring counties, and beyond them, and up north in Beian too...

The soldiers carried orders to the factories again.

Chapter 65 

A newly ascended emperor holding an extra imperial examination would demonstrate his eagerness to recruit worthy men and grant scholars across the realm another chance to enter court.

This had been a tradition in Da Qi since the time of Emperor Taizong, but during the reign of Emperor Jing, such additional examinations ceased.

When Emperor Jing first took the throne, someone proposed this very idea. Emperor Jing replied, "The court is already packed with officials. Why hold another examination? Even if we select talents, no one will vacate their seats for them."

The deputy prefect wasn't stupid—he knew perfectly well that Fang Zichen was just using an excuse to line his own pockets.

But to speak so boldly—the previous prefect's fate was still fresh in everyone's mind as a warning, and Fang Zichen was daring to bend the rules while the man's body was barely cold. He wasn't foolish—he must have powerful backing. The deputy prefect understood: the previous prefect had been greedy, and this one was greedy too. But this one had more style. He knew how to put on a show!

A clean official wasn't necessarily a good official. A good official was one who let the people live in peace, eat their fill—and stuffed his own belly with fat while he was at it.

Qi Junmu was the Emperor—but he was also a man. These things were only natural.

It was simply that he had never known intimacy. In his previous life, his heart had been set on Wen Wan, and the most he had ever done was touch her hand. Since his rebirth, that side of him had lain dormant. And now, just as he and Shen Nian had spoken openly, he had dreamed of him...

If Ruan Jiqing hadn't knocked this morning to remind him of court, the dream would likely have continued.

Waking from such a dream always left a trace of regret—so much so that he had suddenly felt like playing truant.

The new prefect was no pushover. The Huang family had been in business for years, and their hands weren't exactly clean. Earlier, villagers from the lower counties had complained to the deputy prefect, but the deputy prefect could do nothing about it. Huang Zheng had spent a long time covering his tracks back then, so even if they were investigated, he wasn't too worried.

In Hezhou, the Huang family had already become the undisputed power in Hezhou. Normally, he wouldn't fear any prefect. But word had it that this new prefect had serious backing—he'd arrived with both the Imperial Guard and the Qin family troops. The common people with no connections just took them for ordinary soldiers, but Huang Zheng had his ways of finding out the truth.

Chapter 64 

Shen Nian naturally had no idea about the Emperor's dream.

However, as he was leaving his post and heading back to the side hall of Quanhua Hall to rest, he passed by the main hall. Even though he knew full well that the Emperor should have already gone to morning court at this hour, he still couldn't help but steal a glance inside.

And in that glance, he spotted Ruan Jiqing standing right in front of the hall doors.

When Da Li got back, Fang Zichen asked a few more questions. It turned out nothing serious had happened—the maidservant just got her hands slapped a couple of times. Fang Zichen muttered that they'd gotten off easy.

Zhao Ger said, "Forget it. It wasn't a big deal. If we'd beaten them up and gone too far, we'd be the ones in the wrong. People might say our son was bullying others with his power."

The maidservant had her hands slapped, and people outside figured she deserved it, so no one said much.
