Love Your Husband

Part 371 - 380

Li Xiaorui was very energetic. He kept talking while sitting in the carriage. When he got home, he picked up the small ball and called a security guard to play with him.

Li Qiao’s day off every seven days is also his holiday. On this day he can stop studying and play happily.

Li Qiao and Tao Zhu carried Li Changfeng and Li Yunfan, two little chubby friends who had grown a lot taller, to the greenhouse and put the sleeping kids on the kang. Tao Zhu asked Li Qiao to go to the study to do some work, while he asked the kitchen to prepare some simple food.

Li Qiao said yes, came out of the greenhouse and went straight to the study, as he needed to deal with some official documents.

As the head of the Ministry of Revenue, his position is a bit awkward as he doesn't want to be in charge of any of the twelve departments of the Ministry.

Sheng Hong saw through it, but didn't force him. He just assigned him some trivial tasks frequently.

Since the Chinese New Year, in addition to helping Sheng Hong review memorials every day, he also had to deal with the affairs of the five major departments: civil service, rites, military, punishment, and engineering.

In other words, although his current official position is the third-rank official in the Ministry of Revenue, in reality, he is involved in the affairs of all six ministries.

The seven grand secretaries also served as the ministers and vice ministers of the six ministries, but their daily work was mainly focused on the affairs of their own departments, supplemented by external affairs.

But because he had never been involved in the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue, Sheng Hong assigned him matters of the other five ministries.

The current situation is that he is an official in the Ministry of Revenue, but he is more in charge of the affairs of the five major ministries: Personnel, Rites, Military, Criminal Affairs, and Works.

This is so annoying.

Who would be willing to have an outsider like him interfere in their territory?

If he had known this earlier, he would rather get involved in the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue.

But fortunately, Sheng Hong paid enough attention to him, and he got along well with the seven grand secretaries, so even though he intervened, the ministers and vice ministers of the other five ministries still treated him kindly.

With so many things to take care of, he often has to work overtime. If he doesn't want to work overtime, he can only take the documents home.

Over the past year, the Ministry of Industry has been much busier due to the emergence of cement.

Sheng Hong had the city walls, some fortifications and important buildings reinforced with a layer of cement.

In addition, cement road construction is also in progress.

At present, all the alleys and streets of Shengjing, big and small, are paved with cement. When it rains, people no longer have to worry about muddy roads.

Many cement roads were also built outside Shengjing City. Some wealthy families, such as the Xin family, also followed his example and built cement roads on the paths leading to their own farms.

In order to boost the business of the Chrysanthemum Garden, the eldest prince also built the road leading to the Chrysanthemum Garden.

As a result, the road conditions outside Shengjing City improved a lot.

Whether it is daily travel or transporting goods, it is much more convenient than before.

His reputation as Lord Li Qiaoli also improved, and he was praised by the people again and again.
