Huangyu is about thirty kilometers away from Chang'an and is located between Qinling Mountains and Shangwang Village. Huangyu starts from Huangyukou Village in the north and reaches Cuiwei Mountain in the south. Cuiwei Peak is more than 1,500 meters above sea level. Huangyu is about seven meters long.

More than a thousand meters, with an average width of 150 meters.

When Du Gou rebuilt Cuiwei Palace this time, he specially widened the Huangyu Valley as a royal road for mountain climbing. Huangyu Valley is a must-pass to Cuiwei Palace.

The mountain water of Huangyu flows northward along the east side of Shangwang Village, joins the Baishiyu River at the southwest corner of Qiao Village, and then flows northwest, entering Feng and returning to Weiwei.

Walking about four miles from the mouth of the valley into the ravine is the Huangyu Dam.

The Huangyu Dam is built between two mountains, sandwiched by two large mountains on the east and west. The Jinsha River flows from the south to many valleys, and the channels finally flow to the reservoir. Standing on the dam and looking southward, you will see a series of green mountains in the distance.

Standing beside one, all the peaks are green.

Li Chengqian was standing on the dam at this time. Looking to the west, he could see the scattered palace servants in Cuiwei Palace busy.

"Brother Fumin, do you know which of the several projects in Cuihua Mountain I am most satisfied with?"

"Back to Your Highness, I don't know, but I know that the construction of the academy is slow and has delayed Your Highness's ability to serve the country. I am guilty."

Li Chengqian shook his head, patted Du Gou on the shoulder and said, "It's not your fault. I'm too anxious. It's difficult for you to be responsible for so many things by yourself."

Li Chengqian's words made Du Gou's eyes turn red. Among all the ministers in the East Palace, his official position was not the largest, but he was indeed the most tired.

Under his leadership, Lantian's military industry department has begun to take shape. Although it cannot fully meet the needs of the Sixteenth Guards, it is still much better than the general supervisor.

In addition to the Cuihuashan project this time, he was reading various materials almost day and night, and was constantly traveling to various workshops and construction sites. He was only in his twenties and already had gray hair.

"I am a member of the East Palace, and it is my duty to share your worries for you." Du Gou rubbed his eyes and replied with his hands in hand.

Li Chengqian: "I hereby express to Your Majesty that you have been promoted to the title of Silver Qing. Doctor Guanglu has praised your achievements in the past few years. At the same time, Xu Jingzong, Zhao Jie and the director of the Ministry of Industry, Yu Chang, have been transferred to you from the East Palace.

Let them help you with some chores. If they really tire you out, your father won't be able to handle it."

Du Gou was not surprised by his promotion. After following Li Chengqian for so long, he knew that his master would never treat his own people badly. What made him happy was that with their help, his errands would be much easier to handle.

As for Li Chengqian's ridicule, he couldn't laugh or cry.

"Then again, the most satisfying thing about the project here is this reservoir. Once there is a natural disaster in the surrounding area, this reservoir will be a life-saving straw for the crops below. No matter how successful you are, the people around you should be

Let’s build a shrine for you.”

Originally, the reservoir was not included in this project at all, but Du Gou saw that the people here were having a hard time due to floods and drought. The son of the prime minister felt compassion and secretly transferred the money to build the academy and built it.

this reservoir.

He originally thought that Li Chengqian would punish him severely when he came back, but what he didn't expect was that Li Chengqian didn't say anything when he found out, and even promoted him to three levels in a row.

Du Gou: "Your Highness, you are exaggerating. The river water in Huangyu has made the lives of the people here so miserable. It is a problem to ensure food and clothing. It is even said to be a year of disaster. Many children have been sold to noble families as slaves.

Or send him to a Taoist temple and become a monk in the temple to find a new way of living."

Li Chengqian nodded and said: "I know, but a hundred years of accumulated shortcomings cannot be rectified in a day or two. We have to be patient and work slowly."

Li Chengqian's words seemed to be comforting Du Gou, but they were not meant for him.

Cuiwei Gonglong Mountain is a garden, consisting of four main halls and some other gardens.

The main gate faces due north and is called Yunxia Hall, the court hall is called Cuiwei Hall, and the sleeping hall is called Hanfeng Hall. Next to it is the prince's villa, whose main gate opens to the west and is named Jinhua Gate, and the hall is named Anxi Hall.

After summoning all the ministers, Li Shimin returned to Hanfeng Palace, while Queen Changsun coaxed Li Zhi in the inner room who refused to fall asleep.

As for the naughty and mischievous Li Lizhi, she sat obediently next to Li Chengqian and wrote.

This girl can be said to be the little bully in the palace. No one can make her calm down except Empress Changsun and Li Chengqian. Her arrogant character was cultivated by Li Shimin and his son. For this reason, they were often punished by the Changsun family.

chatter.

But having said that, despite her young age, Li Lizhi's academic performance has always been the best among many young princes and princesses.

Having finished writing the big characters, she stretched out her little hand to ask for a gift from Li Chengqian. After using a jade hairpin to send away this troublesome spirit, the father and son started playing chess.

After Li Shimin gave birth to a child, he looked up at Li Chengqian and said, "Du Gou has done a good job. He would rather risk losing his official position to build a reservoir for the people.

Keming has a good son. I have already approved your memorial, which is to use this method to inspire all officials to be loyal to the king."

"But having said that, I found that all the officials under your command know what they are supposed to do, and there are no corrupt officials. Tell me how you did it."

There is something wrong with Li Shimin's question. Isn't it true that he hopes to have a few corrupt officials under his command, and then arrest them and make them happy?

"Father, how can I put this? Maybe it's because the salaries of the staff in the East Palace are relatively high."

Li Shimin couldn't help but roll his eyes at Li Chengqian. In addition to their own salaries, officials in the East Palace would also receive different subsidies for each solar term, such as Bing Jing, Tan Jing, etc., which were much higher than their salaries.

With this promising prince, who cares about the few small coins? In the future, when the prince becomes emperor, he will be a minister of the dragon, and he will enjoy endless glory and wealth.

"I don't have as many carrots as you, only big sticks." Li Shimin laughed at himself.

"Government has been a difficult problem in governing the country since ancient times. Look at these ministers who only say they are good, but they dare not do anything below.

I came to Cuiwei Palace this time just to relax. I am going on the Northern Expedition soon, so I still have to use them."

No matter how stupid Li Chengqian was, he understood that Wang Zhi, the left minister of the Ministry of Integrity, must have caught many people again, otherwise the emperor would not have said this to him.

"Cuiwei Palace is a good place for self-cultivation. My father can recuperate while handling state affairs. All the princes in the court have been with my father for many years and will not cause any trouble to him."

Empress Changsun, who finally put her young ancestor Li Zhi to sleep, came over and saw the father and son still playing chess.
