Chapter 553 The Emperor reuses
Chengsheng shook his head and said: "Although I have served the emperor, they say that the holy heart is unpredictable, and our emperor's heart is even more unpredictable, so I don't know what the emperor is thinking."

"But..." Cheng Sheng drawled a long tone, "The emperor has always made clear rewards and punishments. Our mother-in-law has made such a great contribution, the emperor should still reward our mother-in-law."

"Mom, let's go..." A child's voice sounded outside the door.

Chengsheng and Chengfan immediately realized that Concubine Leng and His Highness the Crown Prince were back, and heard them discussing behind their backs that the Emperor had not awarded the concubine the title yet.

The two immediately went to the door to greet him, bowing and saluting.

"Your Majesty is back." Chengsheng said dryly.

Leng Luoyue said "hmm" and walked between the two of them, heading towards the main hall.

Chengsheng and Chengfan looked at each other, and the empress must have felt uncomfortable. Hey, who wouldn't feel uncomfortable?

If Leng Luoyue knew what they were thinking, she would definitely say: "You are thinking too much."

She didn't feel too uncomfortable, just a little unhappy.

Feng Chenghan made a plan for potatoes. He decided to allocate 7 jins of potatoes to grow in Xizhou, 1 jins to grow in the north, and keep the remaining [-] jins for Sinong Temple. Continue breeding.

After the Chinese New Year, the potatoes will be sent there. Spring has just begun, so they can be planted directly in Xizhou and the northern border. Two officials from Sinong Temple will also be sent to Xizhou and the northern border to teach the local people. Plant potatoes.

The exiled rebels have all arrived in the north, and they can start digging the northwest river.

However, before excavation, the route of the river must be determined first. This requires someone to conduct on-site survey, and then avoid the large mountains and boulders that are difficult to excavate, and measure the shortest distance and the most suitable route for excavation.

Fengcheng Han wanted to start construction after the new year, but he had not thought of this before, so he did not send people to survey the terrain in advance.

In order to start construction as soon as possible, people must be dispatched now.

Feng Chenghan thought about the people who could be used, and finally decided to let Zhang Su, who was temporarily serving as the assistant minister of the engineering department, be paired with a Yuanwailang who was proficient in surveying and mapping. After the route was mapped out, he would be asked to wait until the construction started. Stay in Xizhou or the north to supervise the work.

He felt that Zhang Su had some real abilities, so he was willing to reuse him.If he can handle these two errands well, he will be the next minister of the Ministry of Industry.

Feng Chenghan immediately called Zhang Su to the imperial study. The father-in-law who sent the message arrived at the palace of the Ministry of Industry. He heard that the emperor had summoned him.

His colleagues all said that the emperor must be congratulating him and congratulated him.

Zhang Su smiled at his colleagues, straightened his clothes and followed the father-in-law who came to deliver the message.

As soon as he left, the expressions of the people in the mansion changed.

"The Emperor really thinks highly of Mr. Zhang. When he comes back from the imperial study, he will probably become the chief minister instead of the deputy minister." The voice of the speaker was sour.

"That's right, don't look at who is behind them?"

Hearing this, everyone smiled tacitly.

Zhang Su was a descendant of Concubine Leng. Now that Concubine Leng's son had become the crown prince, she herself was favored by the emperor. She had also made so many great achievements and provided high-yielding potato seeds, which had won the hearts of the people.

As long as she is whispering in the emperor's ears, the emperor is still not allowed to promote her people?This piece of Su naturally rose to prominence.

After Zhang Su arrived at the imperial study, Feng Chenghan told him that he would dig a river from the north to Xizhou so that Xizhou would no longer suffer from drought.

Zhang Su was stunned for a while, thinking that the emperor's idea was very bold, but thinking about it carefully, although it will consume a lot of manpower and material resources, and a lot of time, if it is done, it will be a contribution to the present and benefit the future. Good thing.So he immediately shouted: "Your Majesty is wise."

"I have something I need you to do."

"No matter what your Majesty orders, I will do my best to serve you."

"Before starting the construction of the river channel, we need people to conduct on-site surveys and determine the route. I want you to take people there."

Zhang Su said with some excitement: "Wei Chen will definitely not let down the emperor's trust and will definitely handle this matter well."

He really wants to participate in this big project that will benefit the future.

Feng Chenghan looked at him and said, "I hope we can start construction as soon as possible."

Zhang Su understood, "Wei Chen will go home and pack up, and leave for Xizhou immediately."

Feng Chenghan nodded with satisfaction, "I plan to arrange for someone who is proficient in surveying and mapping to go with you. Do you have anyone in the Ministry of Industry?"

"Actually, there is no need to arrange more people, because I can also do surveying and mapping."

"You know how to do surveying and mapping?" Feng Chenghan was a little surprised.

Zhang Su nodded, "Since I joined the Ministry of Industry, I have been learning what people in the Ministry of Industry need to master. Weichen learned about surveying and mapping two months ago."

He did not take the imperial examination before being selected as an official in the imperial court.

He also knew that many people felt that he was not worthy of joining the Ministry of Industry and that he was incapable.

He was a member of Concubine Leng. In order not to embarrass her, he had been studying diligently after entering the Ministry of Industry.

"You are quite eager to learn." Feng Chenghan praised Zhang Su a little more. "Since you know how, there is no need to arrange anyone else. The journey to Xizhou is long and there may be dangers on the way. I will arrange a few more guards to escort you to Xizhou."

Zhang Su was silent for a moment and asked, "Can I let Wei Chen choose this guard?"

The old concubines of the Leng Palace have all left the palace. When Sun Ming and Wang Ping invited him for a drink yesterday, they said that the Leng Palace is too deserted now and it is no longer interesting to guard the Leng Palace. They no longer want to guard the Leng Palace.

Concubine Leng doesn't have much chance now, so why not let them follow him to Xizhou. If he has made any meritorious service and he reports it truthfully, he will naturally be rewarded by the emperor.

Feng Chenghan guessed that he wanted to choose the brother who had guarded the cold palace with him, and had no objection, so he nodded and agreed, and reserved four places for him.

Zhang Su told Wang Ping and Sun Ming about this matter. They felt that guarding the cold palace was really meaningless. They wanted to go to Xizhou with Zhang Su, but it was not good that they could not go to Xizhou after the New Year. However, the two Still happily agreed.

Guarding the cold palace is a waste of time and life, and they also want to do some practical work with their brothers.

Zhang Su selected two guards with whom he had a good relationship before, and decided to set off in one day.

"They are all the same people. Now he is a high official, respected by the emperor, and goes to run errands for the emperor. You go to serve him as a bodyguard..." Wang Ping's wife muttered as she packed his clothes.

"It's such a cold day and you run to even colder places. You can't live at home for years. How can you do this to your brothers?" She felt that Zhang Su did this on purpose. Others chose her Wang Ping and Sun Ming instead.

He just wants the brothers who used to work together to be his subordinates and can do whatever they want, so as to show his ability.
