On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there are naturally no people on the street. Even if you visit relatives, it will only start from the second day of the Lunar New Year, and until tomorrow, the street will become a little lively.

Qin Feng and Guo Jiuling were walking on the deserted street. Staying alone in the palace, Qin Feng was already a little bored. Apart from those business tasks that had to be handled, he couldn't even find a person to speak. Today, he caught Guo Jiuling. Qin Feng took a whim and dragged Guo Jiuling out to go shopping.

Ma Hou wanted to follow him, but Qin Feng refused. He changed his clothes and slipped out of the side door of the palace with Guo Jiuling. However, when he walked out of the palace gate, there were still a few people coming from behind. Qin Feng sighed, knowing that Ma Hou was following him with people, but he couldn't say anything. As an emperor, it was naturally extremely prominent to outsiders, but he would also lose a lot of things.

For example, freedom.

"Your Majesty, don't blame Ma Hou, this is also his duty. If he really lets His Majesty go out alone, it would be a dereliction of duty. If the ministers know, he will definitely make him spitting out blood." Guo Jiuling glanced at the people who were following behind him. "Speaking of it, there are still many talents under Ma Hou's command, and these guards who follow him are good at kung fu."

Qin Feng smiled: "It's indeed good. These are all recently selected and are good players of some sects in the Ming Dynasty."

Guo Jiuling nodded: "I know that their Eagle Nest has been checked repeatedly. They are all good families, and their families are now in Yuejing. Speaking of which, they have not yet congratulated His Majesty, these sects have finally begun to return."

Qin Feng laughed: "If they still want to make a living in the Ming Dynasty, they should understand what to do now. Speaking of which, although some sects in the Ming Dynasty do not have the powerful strength of Chu Qi, they still have some elite talents."

"It is not a good thing that the sect's strength is too powerful." Guo Jiuling's eyes flashed slightly: "Your Majesty, monsters like the Ten Thousand Sword Sect of Chu State and the Nantianmen of Qi State, the Ming Dynasty must not allow them to appear. If a sect has the strength to interfere in national affairs, it must start suppressing and must not let them emerge."

"The hero violated the ban with martial arts? Is this the idea of ​​Commander Guo?" Qin Feng said with a smile.

"They can only be the eagle claws of the country." Guo Jiuling nodded and said, "Your Majesty, the Wanjian Sect, the influence of the Nantian Gate on Chu Qi, you also know that if a sect that could threaten the court appeared in the Ming Dynasty, it would not be a blessing for the country."

"That's right." Qin Feng smiled and said, "Isn't it a good start for them to join the court now?"

"Your Majesty, it's not the case. Or they want to use the power of the court to develop and grow stronger." Guo Jiuling said.

"It sounds like you have made some arrangements?" Qin Feng looked at the old man next to him who was gray-haired and looked very old. As the former deputy commander of the inner guard of Da Chu and the head of the Eagle Nest of the Ming Dynasty, Guo Jiuling now looks like an ordinary old farmer from the outside, but Qin Feng certainly knew the horror of the old man around him.

What is scary is not his martial arts, there is basically not much left in his martial arts, but what is scary is his methods. It is a huge mistake for Min Ruoying to give up him. Of course, if Chu had not abandoned him, he would not have been able to get his allegiance.

"There are some arrangements!" Guo Jiuling nodded: "It has just been unfolded, and it will take several years to see the results. The power above the world must be firmly controlled by the court."

"Just like the Jiying Hall of Da Chu back then?"

"Jiying Palace does bring together the most famous leaders in the Great Chu River, but Jiying Palace has no way to do anything with a large sect like the Nantianmen. Fortunately, there is no such sect in the Ming Dynasty, but it is better to be careful in advance." Guo Jiuling said.

"You go and do this." Qin Feng nodded. He didn't need to know too much about such things.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Guo Jiuling said.

"The street is so deserted!" The two of them walked for a long time, but there were very few people they met.

Guo Jiuling laughed: "Your Majesty never leaves the palace, so naturally I don't know how lively Yuejing City is. Now Yuejing is in residence, but it's not easy!"

"Oh, what do you mean?" Qin Feng asked with great interest.

"Your Majesty, Yuejing City originally had a population of more than one million, and it was one of the world's famous cities. But it has been the third year since the Ming Dynasty decided to the tripod. Do you know how many people there are in Yuejing City now?" Guo Jiuling looked at the emperor with a smile.

"I really don't know much about this. It seems that the Chief Assistant Quan mentioned it before, but I don't care much about this matter." Qin Feng said that for the past six months, he has been busy fighting with Qin and Qi. Later, he went to be a pirate for more than a month. He really didn't care much about internal affairs. He basically left this mess to Quan Yun.

"There are more than 1.5 million people who settle in Yuejing City. If the migrant population is included, it has already exceeded 2 million." Guo Jiuling raised two fingers and shook it in front of Qin Feng. "We are now walking through the core area of ​​Yuejing City. The land and houses are already priceless. No one will sell them unless they have to. You don't know that whenever Su Kairong talks about this matter, he feels like he is a loss!"

Qin Feng thought about it and realized: "It is the original place of those ministries."

Guo Jiuling laughed: "It was these places. His Majesty transferred all the outer city of the palace to the offices of various departments and offices, so that the offices of various departments were concentrated in one area, greatly improving the efficiency of work. The original offices of the department were all returned to the management of the Ministry of Revenue. Didn't Su Kairong deal with them one after another? But no one could have thought that the housing prices and land prices in the capital had soared. Su Kairong had sold them for a year, and at least twice the amount of money was reduced. Do you think he beat his chest and stamped his feet? Whenever someone mentioned this, it was like digging his ancestral grave."

When Qin Feng heard Qin Feng say this, he remembered Su Kairong's angry face, and Qin Feng laughed happily. "This person has many shortcomings, but he is a good Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. I heard that he found two more mothers for Su Can?"

Guo Jiuling burst into laughter: "When talking about this, Su Can looked angry, but there was no way. Who said he was his son? Su Kairong was not good at martial arts, so I don't know how he took care of his body. He was so full of blood?"

"You can go and ask him secretly." Qin Feng also lowered his voice.

"Then let it go!" Guo Jiuling shook his head repeatedly: "Old wife is a Hedong lion."

Both of them laughed, and when it comes to this kind of thing, men always understand it.

"The population of Yuejing City has almost doubled, which is a big problem!" After laughing, Qin Feng became a little worried. The increase in the population shows the prosperity of Yuejing City and the success of the current policies of the Ming Dynasty. However, so rapidly increasing the population is also a huge burden for Yuejing City.

The Ming Dynasty now used farmers as its trunk, merchants as its meridians, and crafts as its limbs. There was no distinction between scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, and there was no distinction between high and low. For example, in the Ming Dynasty, it was already common for craftsmen to be awarded official positions with their outstanding skills, and it was common for everyone to be accustomed to them. Even if they were just a person who had great experience in farming and had unique skills that could improve agricultural output, they would still be awarded agricultural officials. It was this policy of running side by side that stimulated the Ming Dynasty like the rising sun, shining and thriving. Not only Yuejing City, but also Zhengyang, Shayang, Taiping, Yongping, etc., all faced the same problems as Yuejing City.

"Yes, it is indeed a huge burden. Food alone is a huge problem. There are endless grain ships on the Luo River. It is the middle of winter and the Luo River is frozen and has to go on land. The price of grain has risen a lot." Guo Jiuling said: "Now the Prime Minister is looking forward to the Railway Administration's contribution as soon as possible. If a railway from Zhengyang to Yuejing can be built, in winter, he will no longer be troubled by the difficulties in the grain route and the price increase."

"Let them try to build a section first!" When talking about the railway, Qin Feng also hoped that he would make achievements as soon as possible. He reported it skillfully before the New Year that the funds had been in place. Daye City and Taiping City were also working hard to produce railway tracks. After the land was thawed in the spring, he began to build the first experimental railway from Feng County to Shayang County.

There must be many difficulties. If a brand new thing appears, various problems will definitely arise in the process. I hope there will be a good result next year.

"Hey, isn't that the Chief Supervisor's carriage?" Guo Jiuling suddenly pointed to a carriage that flashed by the corner in front in surprise. This was a batch of carriages specially made by the Taiping City workshop. They were only for high-level figures in the Ming Dynasty. They looked very ordinary, but in fact they were expensive. Even if they were shot by heavy crossbows, they would not damage the carriage. Moreover, the latest technologies such as shock absorbing springs and front wheel steering were also applied to them. Because shock absorbing springs and other technologies have not reduced the cost, there is no such carriage on the market. As the boss of the Eagle Nest, Guo Jiuling naturally knew where this carriage was going, and also knew who it belonged to. Although he was just a quick glance, he still recognized that it belonged to the Chief Supervisor.

"On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the prime minister was not at home to enjoy the family happiness. Why did he come out for?" Qin Feng was also very surprised: "Didn't he just got a little grandson this year?"

"Your Majesty, do you want to go and take a look?" Guo Jiuling asked, "Looking at the direction of the prime minister, it seems that he is going out!"

"Let's go, take a look!" Qin Feng said with a smile.

Like Qin Feng and Guo Jiuling, Quan Yun also traveled in contemporaries. Apart from this carriage, of course, this carriage that looks very ordinary, people who don’t know the goods can’t see any abnormalities at all.
