In the view of the emperor Liu Che, if he could really call on the civil and military officials of the court to donate wealth and contribute part of his strength by "a thousand gold to buy horse bones" method, then the dilemma of the lack of money in the treasury can be greatly alleviated even if it cannot be completely solved! This is undoubtedly a great thing for Liu Che and the entire Han Dynasty!

Therefore, Liu Che liked Dong Zhongshu's suggestion very much, and the only thing that made Liu Che feel a little unhappy was this person who was the "horse bone"! Especially when he thought about setting up the former "betrayer" of King Wuqiu Shou as a positive example, Liu Che felt irritated in his heart.

Seeing that the emperor looked a little undecided, Dong Zhongshu could guess what the emperor was thinking now. So he pondered for a moment and continued to persuade: "Your Majesty, now that Henan is newly revived, our Han army has not yet established a stable foothold here, and the Huns are eyeing him, so they will not give up! In my opinion, when the cold winter this year and the flowers are blooming, the Huns will definitely send troops to retaliate and try to recapture the strategic land of Henan! Therefore, I think the most urgent task is to find a way to promote the migration of the people as soon as possible to consolidate border defense and prevent the Xiongnu's sneak attacks!"

"Well, Dong Qing's words are reasonable!"

When it comes to the migration of the people and the Huns, Liu Che could not calm down. For Liu Che, counterattacking the Huns was definitely the top priority at present. Its importance was obviously far more than a small king Wuqiu Shou, and even more than his own little preference!

"Well." Thinking of the fact that King Qiu Shou was very remorseful this time and what he did was beneficial to the country, Liu Che decided to give him a chance to reform himself!

However, Dong Zhongshu's one-sided words were not enough to make Liu Che fully believe it. So Liu Che immediately ordered to his left and right: "Go and pass on my oral instructions, and Xuanwu, King Qiu Shou, came to the greenhouse for a visit!"

"Yi" As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the eunuchs beside him immediately stepped forward and bowed to accept the order!

"Hu" Seeing the back of the eunuch gradually disappearing into the greenhouse hall, Dong Zhongshu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said in his heart: "I finally have some clues, Zi Gan, it's up to you next!"

"Dong Qing!" After the eunuch who was sending the order left, Liu Che looked up at Dong Zhongshu in the hall, and smiled warmly, "I heard that Dong Qing has been very diligent in the Dayuan Order Office recently. Under the leadership of yourselves, the promotion of Suma Pig Rotary Seeds has progressed quite smoothly. The Dayuan Order Office praised Dong Qing very much. It seems that I chose Dong Qing as the wheat field envoy at the beginning, which was absolutely the right choice!"

"I am grateful to Your Majesty for your kindness." Hearing Liu Che's praise, Dong Zhongshu couldn't help but smile, then leaned over and bowed to worship, "Eating the king's fortune and loyalty to the king is the matter of the minister's duty, and His Majesty should not be praised like this!"

"Haha..." Liu Che was quite happy when he heard this, and couldn't help but smile and said with a cheerful smile: "Dong Qing is too humble. I have known Dong Qing for several years. I know Dong Qing's talent!"

"Oh, by the way." While speaking, Liu Che suddenly remembered something and couldn't help asking Dong Zhongshu curiously: "A few days ago, I heard from Sang Qing (Sang Hongyang) that Dong Qing recently presided over the development of a new water draw tool called a water truck at the Dayuan Ling Office... It is said that using this thing to draw water is a hundred times better than manpower. I wonder if it is true or false?"

"This is indeed the case"

Although Dong Zhongshu didn't know why the emperor suddenly asked about the water wheel, he replied, "Your Majesty, the idea of ​​this water wheel actually did not come from me... but from Zhang Ran and Zhang Xiaolang. I accidentally heard Zhang Xiaolang talk about the wonderful uses of the water wheel, so I ordered the craftsmen of the Dameng Order to develop it!"

"Oh? Is it Zhang Qing's idea again?" After hearing Dong Zhongshu's words, Liu Che became even more interested. Thinking of the magical things that Zhang Ran has shown recently, Liu Che couldn't help but ask with interest: "Dong Qing, can you tell me in detail about this water truck?"

When Dong Zhongshu heard this, he nodded immediately and bowed and replied: "Report to Your Majesty, this water truck is a tool built by the river to absorb river water. Its main function is to supplement the ditches..."

......

"What did you say? The emperor is going to summon me?"

Half an hour later, when the eunuch who was delivering the order came to Dong's mansion, found King Wuqiu Shou, and told the emperor that he was summoned to him, King Wuqiu Shou could hardly believe his ears!

"Happiness comes too suddenly!"

Although King Wuqiu Shou had some predictions in advance before Dong Zhongshu set off, when the good news really fell from the sky, King Wuqiu Shou could not suppress his excitement! After all, he had been waiting for this opportunity for too long, and it was almost desperate!

"Yes" Compared to the excitement of King Wuqiu Shou, the eunuch's expression was extremely plain. He glanced at King Wuqiu Shou and urged with a little impatient expression: "Mr. Yuqiu, time is tight, so please follow me to Xuanshi Palace to meet you quickly!"

"Okay," King Wuqiu Shou couldn't help but tremble slightly and stretched out his hand, and quickly bowed to the eunuch in front of him and said, "Please wait for a while! Let Yuqiu take a shower and change his clothes, and then go to Weiyang Palace with you to meet the saint!"

As he said that, without waiting for the eunuch to speak, King Wuqiu Shou immediately moved forward, took a small step, quietly stuffed a piece of gold cake into the eunuch's hand along the cuff, and immediately turned to the servant of Dong's mansion in the living room and ordered: "Didn't our mansion buy some special pastries from Zhangji Restaurant recently? Go and get it, let Ming Gong taste one or two!"

After the golden cake was delivered, the eunuch's expression suddenly improved a lot, but he still couldn't help but reminded King Wuqiu Shou: "Mr. Yuqiu, burning incense and bathing can be done, but you must hurry up. You must know that Your Majesty is still waiting in the Xuanshi Hall at this moment. If you delay for a long time and Your Majesty blames you, no one of us can afford to be guilty!"

"I know, I know!" King Wuqiu Shou said yes after hearing this, and did not dare to neglect. In front of the eunuch, he began to instruct the servants of the Dong family around him to prepare hot water and clothes for him, and to turn the people in command. The scene seemed quite busy.

After stabilizing the eunuchs, King Wuqiu Shou hurried out of the living room and immediately found his butler and asked him to carry all the large wooden boxes in the wing room onto the carriage prepared in advance!
