Chapter 140 Second Call
[This system must ensure order during the "idol call", so only one person is allowed on the scene during the "idol call"]

After reading this passage, Jun Jingrui felt very conflicted.

Secretly, he really wanted to talk to Ji Chenxing.

But Jun Heng seemed to have seen the words at the same time as him.

"Prince." Jun Heng had a smile on his face, but the pressure in his eyes could not be concealed.

"Father." Jun Jingrui quickly bowed to Jun Heng.

Jun Heng nodded and stroked his beard. "Is there anything you need me to convey to you?"

Jun Heng's words made it clear that he had to make use of this opportunity.

After all, what he wanted to discuss with Ji Chenxing was a matter of national importance, which could not afford to be careless, and he could not miss this opportunity.

"This..." Jun Jingrui was silent.

He did have a lot of things he wanted to ask Ji Chenxing, such as whether Ji Chenxing still remembered him, whether Ji Chenxing hated him, and whether they still had a chance to start over.

But Jun Heng is here, so even if Jun Jingrui has something to say, he must think carefully before speaking.

"Father, I don't have anything to say." Jun Jingrui looked righteous, "If you must ask, please ask on my behalf, Father, does Chen Xing... have any plans to marry back?"

Jun Jingrui knew that Jun Heng was concerned about national affairs, and his love affair was petty compared to Jun Heng's affairs.

So as soon as he finished speaking, he added in a high-sounding tone, "If she is willing to marry back, wouldn't it be a great thing for us in Daliang?"

Jun Heng was silent, and finally did not give a clear answer, but just said: "If the time is right, I will ask, but don't hold out too much hope. That era was so good, and her new family treated her so well, she shouldn't be unable to figure it out and come back to us."

After Jun Heng finished speaking, he started to get annoyed again, "How dare you ask these questions? If it weren't for you, how could she have died? If she were still alive today, I would definitely not let Mingzhu be buried in the dust!"

It was useless to say anything now. Jun Heng frowned and said to Jun Jingrui weakly, "Open the call for me, and you can go down."

At the same time, in her dream, Ji Chenxing came to a place she had never been to before.

All the decorations here are very luxurious, with a lot of gold and red colors used, and a lot of candles are lit, making the place brightly lit.

There is a desk in the middle of the room, on which is placed a thick stack of memorials. Several of them have been spread out, with traces of cinnabar markings on them.

The man holding the cinnabar pen is a middle-aged man, with a slightly thin figure and a worried look in his eyes.

When Ji Chenxing saw this, his first reaction was “We’ve arrived at the palace!”
This is the imperial study. I guess Jun Heng has something to ask her this time.

Just then, a message popped up on the system.

[Hello host, the Daliang Emperor Jun Heng requests to connect with you, do you accept the call? ]

[Call Reward: 100 taels of gold, chance to enter Beiliang border via live broadcast]

[Reject call penalty: unknown]

Ji Chenxing looked at the string of words in the reward column and thought for a moment.

The system had told her before that two conditions needed to be met to send modern Lu Yuzhou to ancient times.

The first is the death of Lu Yuzhou in ancient times, and the second is the arrival of the live broadcast system at the Daliang royal family.

Currently, the live broadcast system is only available in Daliang. It is only a matter of time before live broadcast is introduced to Beiliang. Ji Chenxing nodded, "Accept the call."

The picture flickered slightly, and then Ji Chenxing felt that the ancient world became clear.

Jun Heng raised his head and when he saw Ji Chenxing, there was some excitement in his eyes.

"Are you looking for me?" Ji Chenxing asked.

She no longer belonged to this world. Even though she knew that Jun Heng was the emperor, she did not want to perform those cumbersome etiquette towards Jun Heng.

After seeing the new era, she knew that no rights were worth kneeling for.

"Yes, it was me..." Jun Heng immediately changed his words, "I was the one looking for you."

Jun Heng has also been watching Ji Chenxing's live broadcast for a long time and has gained some understanding of the idea that everyone is equal in that world.

Although he felt that the system was very strange, after all, he was the one who invited Ji Chenxing, and he had to be careful with his words when asking for help.

"Yeah." Jun Heng's attitude was good, and Ji Chenxing didn't intend to waste time with Jun Heng, so he asked directly, "Is it because of the flood?"

"Yes." Jun Heng nodded, "I saw your drawing, and I asked someone to verify the canal construction plan on the drawing, and the answer I got was very good.

"But my problem now is how can I call on my people to open the river? What if they are unwilling and start an uprising? It will be a loss for the country."

Ji Chenxing thought about it for a moment.

From a historical perspective, the canal has benefited future generations and has far-reaching significance. The demise of a dynasty is actually not important; it is inevitable.

But for an emperor like Jun Heng, the first thing he has to do is to secure his throne.

Ji Chenxing paced and walked in Jun Heng's study.

Except Jun Heng himself, no one has ever dared to visit Jun Heng's study like this.

But the person opposite was Ji Chenxing, and he didn't even show any reluctance.

“Tax relief, especially for those who participated in the canal project, their family taxes can be reduced to zero.

"Also, we should open up the granaries and give more grain to the people who participate in the canal project. But we must also pay attention to the clear distinction between rewards and punishments. The more you work, the more you get, and the less you work, the less you get."

Jun Heng nodded, "This is a good idea, but there is only so much food at the moment, and it's a bit difficult to distribute it."

"Don't worry about that. If it's really difficult, I will put some food in the system store in the future. You can buy it directly if you need it."

After Ji Chenxing finished speaking, he glanced across Jun Heng's bookshelf and recalled the books he had read in the past few days.

"But my method of releasing grain is only a temporary solution, not a fundamental solution. I will provide you with a few options here. You can consider them and see if they are suitable."

Jun Heng sat at the desk, as if he was a child listening to a lesson, and was very respectful to Ji Chenxing, "Please speak."

Ji Chenxing nodded.

"As far as I know, the staple crops we currently grow in Daliang cannot survive the winter. Leaving the land idle in winter is actually a waste of resources. It would be better to sow wheat in winter and harvest twice a year to alleviate the food shortage crisis."

Jun Heng nodded, "That's a good idea. We can harvest twice a year. Even if there is a disaster during one harvest, we still have another harvest."

Jun Heng's eyes were gleaming with light, "Anything else? As long as your method can make Daliang better and better, I can agree to whatever you want!"
