It was already five days later when I returned to the capital.

It only took three days when I went there, but it took five days when I came back.

On weekdays, the difference will not be so big. From this we can also know that the flood season has gradually ended and the dry season is coming soon.

It was already early October, and in about half a month, large ships would no longer sail on the Grand Canal.

In another half a month, the medium-sized ship will stop.

At the latest in early December, even small transport ships will start to rest, and we will wait until the river is full next year.

At this time, various transportation can only rely on land, and the various manpower and material resources consumed will be several times or even dozens of times more than water routes.

Therefore, the Great Kang Dynasty and even the previous dynasty would reserve various food in advance.

The two large warehouses in the Gyeonggi region, Qiuxian and Kaoxian, are the top priority. The most important thing in supplying grain from the Imperial Palace in the Gyeonggi region, is all inside.

Over the years, even in the most disasters, the food here has not been less than 10 million stones. - In the late years of the previous dynasty, when Taizu captured these two warehouses, he could still get more than 10 million stones of grain to reward the army and appease the people.

No matter when, as long as there is food, everyone will not panic.

As for other vegetables, it’s not a matter of attention, and you can eat whatever you want.

In this era, even the emperor could not eat the vegetables in winter, and most of them were cabbage, radish, beans, etc.

Not to mention the common people, if pickled pickles, you can hold steamed buns and porridge to satisfy your hunger.

This year, millions of victims gathered in the Imperial Palace and the Gyeonggi region have not had a good life.

Emperor Jing He also gave Miao Yan a special order to increase the viscosity of bran porridge again, otherwise there would be not enough food to eat, and the cold weather was frozen in winter, so many people couldn't bear it.

Recently, autumn grain has been put into storage, especially after the grain from Jiangnan arrived, the emperor's confidence has been much greater.

But he didn't dare to use rice or wheat to make porridge, which made Miao Yan feel relieved.

Because he was ordered by the emperor to leave the capital, Liu Mingqi and the others came to see the emperor for their return as soon as they came back.

At this time, Jing Hedi had just talked with Miao Yan about the refugees' wintering. When they heard the news, they immediately came to the imperial study room.

Without saying anything, Jing Hedi was excited when he looked at Gu Chenyan's expression of joy that could not be concealed by his fatigue.

After a while of greeting, Gu Chenyan excitedly told everything that had happened in the past few days.

He was not so excited at first, but Liu Mingqi's miraculous success made Gu Chenyan see the hope of completely solving the gates of hell, and of course he was happy from the bottom of his heart.

The more Jing Hedi heard it, the more surprised. When he confirmed with Wu Yeshuang and Zhang Qin that it was true, he called the rest of the people out, leaving only Liu Mingqi behind.

The boy naturally knew what the emperor wanted to do, and looked like a good baby.

He did not tell Emperor Jing He that as soon as he got off the boat, Princess Yu sent Chi San to secretly tell him something, which made him feel alert.

Jing Hedi said excitedly and a little worriedly: "Mingqi, tell me honestly, what did you make?"

Liu Mingqi said: "I just prayed to the gods sincerely, and he responded."

Emperor Jing He glared at him, "Nothing nonsense! If it is really useful, then there is no emperor who has been there before. Why didn't even agree with the emperor, but he just replied to you?"

"Maybe the gods saw that the people were too bitter." Liu Mingqi said without changing her expression.

"Bastard, do you know how complicated it is to be able to communicate with gods?" Jing Hedi is not a fool, so he had long thought of: "What if you are used by someone who is interested?"

"No way?"

Liu Mingqi looked surprised, "So from ancient times to the present, those Taoist priests, monks, wizards, and they have all had examples of communicating with the gods of heaven, and they have never seen anyone do anything to them."

Jing Hedi said to the point: "They are outsiders, you are a royal family! Can they be the same?"

Liu Mingqi said, "Yes, because of this, the gods only responded to me three times, and I could never pray for success, and then I came back."

Faced with Liu Mingqi's slutty face, Jing Hedi laughed anxiously, "Does you just say you are so flawless and you will stop doing it after a little bit of it?"

"Then what can I do?"

Liu Mingqi spread her hands and said, "This is not what I decided, it is what the gods decide. Or he thought it would be bad for me to continue doing this, so he stopped."

Emperor Jing He pointed to the boy: "You are not stupid."

After a pause, he said again: "Then you have mastered the solution to the gates of hell, but it depends on the situation?"

Liu Mingqi shook her hand and said modestly: "You can't say that, it depends on what the gods think."

He amplified the word "god" and Jing Hedi present and Zhao Shou standing beside him all clearly understood what Liu Mingqi meant.

Although Emperor Jinghe also believed in ghosts and gods, he definitely did not believe that Liu Mingqi could command ghosts and gods to help him do things.

Thinking of Liu Mingqi's frequent invention of some strange things, Jing Hedi had guessed that it must have been Liu Mingqi who invented some things and used them on this time the reef group of Ghost Gate.

Originally, Liu Mingqi was not wrong inventing something, but according to what Gu Chenyan described just now, "the mountains collapsed and the earth cracked", "the violent swayed", and "the extremely hard reef tips that have been invincible for thousands of years"... The emperor thought this kind of thing was a bit scary.

What if Liu Mingqi was not used on the reef group, but on people?

Such a situation made Jing and the Imperial Capital feel a little chilled.

So he understood the reason why Liu Mingqi was unwilling to take action again.

This is a fear of causing trouble!

An ordinary man is innocent and he is guilty of possessing a treasure.

It is definitely a sin for Liu Mingqi to have such a mysterious thing.

So after achieving some success, Liu Mingqi ran back to see Jing Hedi, obviously he was a little scared.

Looking at this smart and sensible child, Jing Hedi felt that he could speak more clearly: "Mingqi, is it easy to get the earth-shaking power given by the gods?"

"Look at what you said, Your Majesty is earth-shaking. Can it still be there anytime?" Liu Mingqi flattered her, "If it is so easy, I will definitely ask myself to blow up Zhongjing City and Longxing Mansion and to tackle those two groups of jackals."

Zhongjing City is the capital of the Shiwei tribe in the northeast, and Longxing Prefecture is the capital of the Western Qiang.

The two ethnic groups already have four and two big cities, and they have become the prototype of the country.

If they can bombard these two cities, they will inevitably suffer heavy damage and may become unstable.

As long as they are unstable, the boundaries of Dakang will be stable, and everyone will definitely have much better life.

Jing Hedi only thought he was joking.

It is already incredible to be able to blow up so many reefs. Do you want to blow up two cities? Dream!

Liu Mingqi looked at him and smiled, thinking to himself, "Your uncle, you are so strange."

People who don’t know that “little fat man” and “little boy” are all like this.

The emperor was a little more straightforward: "How many more can you make?"

"I accidentally got some materials. After working hard for half a year, I only made these." Liu Mingqi said, "If the gods give me some help, maybe I can do some more."

"Is it enough to clear the entire gate of hell?" asked Emperor Jing He.

"If you gave me ten years, it would be fine." Liu Mingqi said.

"Why do you need to do it alone? Like your workshop, gathering thousands of workers to do it, can you greatly speed up?"

Liu Mingqi bowed seriously and said, "Once it comes, this is too complicated, and it will cause an explosion if you are not careful. If so many raw materials explode together, maybe half of the capital will be bombed.

Secondly, this is a country's important weapon. If the old gods asked, the little ministers would definitely not dare to say it. Think about it, if more and more people master such terrifying things, what should you do if your safety, the prince's safety, and the ministers' safety?

If they have landed in the northwest, northeast and southwest, they have mastered this magic weapon to conquer cities and territory, how many people will die in our Dakang? How many people will be displaced?"

Emperor Jinghe and Zhao Shou nodded.

Liu Mingqi's words are the point.

Although such a magic weapon is powerful and has many uses, it is even more harmful and even threatens the safety of the entire Dakang.

Therefore, Liu Mingqi found something was wrong and rushed back directly, which was also a cautious move.

"Okay, let's do this for now." Jing Hedi had a conspiracy in his mind. "During the dry season, you don't have to go there for the time being. I'll talk about it after a few years if you save too much of that mysterious thing."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Liu Mingqi breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that this level had passed, and the emperor was ready to take care of the matter for him.

With the emperor's endorsement, no one else can find fault.

Emperor Jing He was afraid that he would show off his youthfulness, so he specifically reminded him: "People come to ask, just say I told you not to reveal any news... No matter who you are, do you know?"

"I understand, thank you uncle!" Liu Mingqi was very excited and spoke a little unruly.

Jing Hedi smiled slightly, but also understood the boy's thoughts.

Zhao Shou also sighed secretly that the emperor was so nice to Prince Yu that he was willing to protect him like this.

In the future, even if the prime minister, general and others ask, or even the prince asks, it goes without saying that Prince Yu will be.

How much trouble will this reduce him?

In fact, the same is true.

Liu Mingqi was not afraid that others would force him to tell him the secret recipe, so she just said that there was nothing.

The rumors in Beijing that my mother asked Chi San to spread the message were not fundamentally hindered.

Rumors are just rumors, very unreliable things.

As a clan of the royal family, who has not committed the crime of disobedience and rebellion, who dares to punish him?

The emperor cannot break the rules!

But now the emperor personally comforted him so that he could leave this matter out, which naturally represents the emperor's concern.
Chapter completed!
