Gao Jing, who had been sleeping for two hours in the morning, washed up and ate something casually, and hurried into the palace.

Although I stayed up all night last night, I still had nothing to gain.

Therefore, today the Gaoda Governor was still scolded.

Anyway, I'm used to it.

Don't be afraid.

But when he arrived at the door of the Imperial Study Room, he was told that the emperor was discussing matters with Nangong Prime Minister, Wang Feiteng, and Li Yan, the Minister of Rites. He needed to wait for a while.

Emperor Jinghe usually handles government affairs in the Ganqing Palace in the morning, and sometimes continues to handle affairs in the afternoon, and time is not certain.

No one can say that he can have a fixed time to meet the emperor, Gao Jing naturally understands this.

He didn't sit and wait in the chair next to him, but instead walked a little further and sat on the flower bed to rest.

If you get closer, you may not be upset when you see it. If you catch yourself and scold yourself, it seems a bit embarrassing.

After waiting for a while, Gao Jing almost fell asleep while sitting in the flower bed because he had insufficient sleep.

If it weren't for such a sudden fall to alert him, I'm afraid that if someone saw him, he would be able to enter the emperor's ears and make him mock him.

It’s hard to be a spy boss!

Suddenly, the tall commander-in-chief, who was a little worried, unknowingly touched the cigarette box and matches in his pocket again.

Let's have a shot!

Just one shot!

Gao Jing, who tasted the sweetness of last night, struggled for a while, skillfully lit a cigarette.

"call……"

During the breathing, Gao Jing was already very skilled and would not be choked again.

You don't say it.

Prince Yu really didn't brag. Although he stayed up like this last night, he was very tired, but he was very energetic.

Moreover, when smoking, you can really reduce your worries and concentrate.

But the consumption is also huge. Only one pack of five packs of cigarettes is left now, so I can’t help smoking!

...

On the road from Wenyuan Pavilion to the Imperial Study Room, Cao Yi was already slightly panting.

He was a little fat and was already fifty-six years old, so he naturally couldn't run faster than young people.

After lunch, he first talked with Li Xiutai, the Minister of Personnel, for a while, and then he heard that Nangong Ji and the others were going to find the emperor again.

The matter we are talking about should be about monks, nuns and Taoists returning to secular life and licensing certificates.

Considering the huge amount of money that might be involved, Cao Yi thought he should listen and not stay out of it.

If you don’t care about anything, then what is the prime minister who is less than one person and more than ten thousand people?

He had just gotten into a bend and saw smoke rising from behind the flower platform.

"What's going on?" Cao Yi asked the two Qianniu Guard soldiers standing guard.

They replied: "Report to the Xiang Cao, it is Governor Gao sitting there."

Cao Yi frowned, "Gao Jing can't light the fire here either! Why don't you stop him?"

The Qianniu Guards smiled bitterly, "He is not lighting the fire, but we don't know what he is doing... If you don't believe it, you can go and have a look."

Cao Yi was too lazy to talk to these two people, so he turned around and walked over there.

Bypassing the flowers, Cao Yi saw Gao Jing sitting with his back to him, and the smoke came out of him.

Suddenly, with Gao Jing waved his hand, a little spark appeared on his hand, and smoke continued to spread.

"Gao Zixuan!"

Cao Yi immediately shouted, "What are you doing?"

Gao Jing was wandering around the world when he suddenly heard the shout and shivered in fear.

When I suddenly looked back, I saw Prime Minister Cao Yi standing behind me.

"Cao Xiang, why are you here?" Gao Jing quickly stood up and asked.

"I came here to find the emperor for something." Cao Yi pointed to the cigarette in his hand, "What are you? I thought you were setting fire in the Imperial Garden!"

Gao Jing looked at the cigarette, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "This is... a fresh thing given to me by Prince Yu, called cigarettes."

"Captain Yu's novelty?" Cao Yi was a little interested, "What did he do to make trouble again?"

It is hard to say anything else, but Prince Yu has done too many things, and the fresh things he has made are very useful, and they are very popular both among the people and in the families of officials.

"That's how it is..."

Gao Jing demonstrated to Cao Yi.

Cao Yi felt that this kid was doing magic, "That's it?"

Gao Jing said: "I thought so at first, but I was upset last night and couldn't help smoking a few more cigarettes. I suddenly felt no panic, my head no longer hurts, and I still woke up a lot.

So Prince Yu was right, cigarettes have magical effects, which can drive away worries and sorrows. By the way, it seems to have a calming effect. I was so anxious just now, but now it is as stable as Mount Tai."

Cao Yi looked disbelief.

So Gao Da Governor could only make up his mind and handed over a cigarette: "I said it's useless, why don't Cao Xiang... do you do one too?"

Prime Minister Cao is not a scheming old man. He still enjoys a massage of floral essential oil every night.

So he took it over and asked a few questions about how to use it. Then, under Gao Jing's diligent fire, he smoked a cigarette.

He sat next to Gao Jing, took a few more sips, and his eyes kept turning, "Well, there is no special feeling, but it's interesting.

In this way, you give me your pack of cigarettes. I will work overtime tonight. If I am tired, I will smoke a few cigarettes to refresh myself and see what the real effect is."

Gao Jing's eyes were fixed, "Cao Xiang, I just packed it up like this, I just opened it!"

"You have smoked four packs of cigarettes, so why do you care about the remaining pack?" Cao Yi brought the pack of cigarettes over, "By the way, there is also this ignition thing, which is quite interesting, give it to me too!"

Just like that, the Prime Minister snatched the things from the Gao Da Governor and left.

Not even a thank you.

Without cigarettes in his hand, he could not swallow clouds in his mouth and nostrils. Gao Jing seemed to feel that something was missing in his heart.

This melancholy mentality is so melancholy that he is a little absent-minded when he is scolded today, so he is scolded miserably by Emperor Jinghe.

...

Cao Yi had no guilt of being a villain at all.

Even after he returned to the mansion, he just put the cigarettes and matches at the desk and went to have a meal.

The only reason why he confiscated Gao Jing's cigarettes was that it was in the palace. Gao Jing's behavior was too inappropriate, so as the prime minister, he had to take care of it.

If he confiscates his tools for crime, he will be called to be in charge.

As the Prime Minister, Cao Yisheng has no choice but to do things, so he doesn't have to work as hard as his deputy prime minister Zhong Chang.

After dinner, he accompanied his wife for a while before returning to the study to handle his official duties.

Today he saw heavy snow in the northwest border area for days, causing significant losses, and thus applying for money and grain supply.

The three northwest provinces are the poorest places in Dakang, and are even poorer than the three northeastern provinces.

There is little food, little land, and less grassland. There is only the vast loess slopes.

But the role of these three northwestern provinces in Dakang is also very important.

Because they not only resisted the Qiyan tribes in the north, but also resisted the Uighurs in the northwest, and the barbarians on the plateau in the west.

If there were no three northwest provinces as buffers, Dakang would definitely have to move the capital.

But it is useless to just move the capital.

Without the powerful Imperial Capital as the core, where can we protect ourselves in several important provinces around us?

Besides, the Imperial Capital is a symbol of great prosperity. If you migrate rashly, you will not know how many people will shake their hearts!

Therefore, the imperial court also has the most subsidies to the three northwest provinces every year.

The end of the Grand Canal is not the Gyeonggi area, but to the northwest, it took so much effort to build the canal just to facilitate transportation of resources to them.

The continuous heavy snowfall not only blocked the road, but also frostbite and frostbite, but even tens of thousands of houses of ordinary people collapsed.

This situation is very bad. If this continues, maybe one-third of the people in the northwest will die in spring, so the court must take care of them.

But it is easy to say, but difficult to do.

This autumn harvest has just been put into storage for a month, but these grains are not for disaster relief this year, but for preparations next year.

If you use it now, what should you do if there is still a disaster next year?

If it is necessary to use it, then how much is appropriate to use it? Where should I make up for what I use it? These are all problems.
