Chapter 979: The Transformation of Feng County

Wang Hou, Duke Yi, closed his eyes on the speeding rail car, and a satisfied smile on his face. He had never enjoyed such a feeling in his life. Fengchi and Dianzhi's speed made him feel that he had already flew up, flying higher and higher, floating like the nine heavens. In front of him, what was revealed was a Ming Dynasty like a paradise. Of course, there was his hometown of Wangjiazhuang. He saw the ancestors of the Wang family standing happily in front of the gate of the old house to welcome him, and embraced him like stars and moonlight to the depths of the house. Wang family used to be just a small family in the countryside, but now he has made the Wang family famous all over the world. He has returned, succeeded and famous, and has been recorded in history.

He swallowed his last breath with satisfaction.

Wang Yueyao's heartbroken crying sounded in the carriage.

Qin Feng stood up, bent down deeply, and greeted Wang Hou who was calm as if he had fallen asleep, which not only represented him but also the entire Ming Dynasty.

Behind him, all the ministers in the carriage knelt down.

"Prince, go all the way!" Ma Xiangnan touched the ground with his forehead, kowtowed, and burst into tears.

"Go along the way!" Everyone shouted in unison in the carriage.

The sad sound of the military horn began to sound, spreading everyone's grief one by one through the miraculous military horns.

Qin Feng personally sent Wang Hou to the old house of Wangjiazhuang, where he guarded Wang Hou for a night, and set off for Taiping City and Daye City for inspection. On the first seventh day, he would return to Wangjiazhuang, pay tribute to Wang Hou again, and then return to Yuejing City. Wang Yueyao and Shu Chang and his wife, according to Wang Hou's will, will also return to Yuejing City in forty-nine days.

After the brigade arrived at Fengxian Station, it was divided into two routes. Fang Dazhi and Ma Xiangnan wanted to return to his county seat, and Wild Dog also wanted to return to Yuejing City to continue the reorganization and training of the Yulin Army. Only the Minister of War Xiaomao Zhang Xiaozheng and the Minister of Taiping County were accompanied by Qin Feng to Taiping County.

As the Ming Dynasty recovered the three counties of Yiyang, Wuling and Taoyuan, Taiping County completely changed from a border county to the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty. The city walls of Fengxian County, which were destroyed in the war, were not rebuilt, but a new city was re-planned on the old site, but this city had no more walls.

After the re-planning, Fengxian County was horizontal and vertical. The spacious streets divided the exact same courtyards into neat squares, like military queues, which was very consistent with Jin Jingnan's personality.

It took only half a year since the battle of Fengxian County. Fengxian, which was destroyed at the time, has not fully recovered its vitality. As an extremely prosperous commercial city in the past, it now looks desolate and there are not many people.

"Your Majesty, when Fengxian was the most prosperous, it gathered about 100,000 people, and now about 40% of them are still there. It is not that there were too many casualties in the war. When the war broke out, we had already withdrawn the people to Taiping City and other places. In addition to the army, casualties were actually limited. The key is that in the past, it was a distribution center for the exchange of goods between the two sides. Now, it is naturally not possible." Jin Jingnan said: "So the migrant population gathered here has been greatly reduced. However, in Taiping City, there are still many goods produced by workshops that must be transported out from here, so many merchants still set up some here, but the people of Qi naturally would not come. They are all gathered in Taoyuan County now."

"The Commerce Department has decided that some workshops will move out of Taiping City. After all, Taiping City is in the mountains, and transportation is still very inconvenient. What do you think about this?" Qin Feng asked.

"My proposal is to move these workshops to Fengxian or Dengxian." Jin Jingnan's face twitched a few times: "Your Majesty, these two places have been severely damaged by the war and need to restore their economy. Moving these workshops to these workshops can develop the economy, and the second is that the workers who depend on these workshops do not need to leave the countryside. After all, the workers in these workshops are skilled workers, and the Commerce Department must not ignore this. As for the transportation issues mentioned by Your Majesty, it will not be a problem with the opening of rail cars. The technology of rail cars is improving every day, and it is expected to spread the world. At that time, even if it is far away, it will arrive in a few days. Your Majesty, the world will become smaller."

Qin Feng laughed a little in his heart. He knew that for this matter, the Commerce Department had been arguing with Taiping County. The Commerce Department originally wanted to move some of these workshops, such as masks and perfume-producing industries to the capital, but Jin Jingnan was not willing to fly away these golden hens that could lay eggs, so he refused to let go.

For Qin Feng, of course he would not interfere in these matters. The Commerce Department wanted to relocate these workshops because consumers of these products were either rich or noble, while Taiping City was an absolute military center. Moving to Beijing can promote sales. Of course, Yuejing City must have intervened here. Once these industries are moved to Yuejing City, Yuejing City's tax revenue will immediately increase. This is similar to a free-earning thing, who doesn't want it?

Jin Jingnan is so thief-like, how could he not see this? Looking at the other party's tense face, Qin Feng was a little funny. You can't stay in Taiping County for a few days. When you are transferred to Yuejing City, you will still be so tight? At that time, I'm afraid that Yuejing City will guard you and will show you every day.

In fact, in addition to these workshops, Taiping County has many other businesses. For example, the stone slabs created by Wang Yueyao in the early days produced using the unique textures in the mountains, which are also considered luxury goods and cannot be left. In addition, four-wheeled carriages are still used in military use now, but they are sold out in a small amount, mainly distributed to the army, and it is impossible to move out of Taiping City. These are all industries with extremely high profits.

Of course, no one would think that the money he made was made was too little. The move from Yuejing City was equivalent to robbing money from Taiping County. Jin Jingnan naturally had to fight back. These things were sought to sue.

After leaving Fengxian, he soon arrived at Yanshan Military Village. The Yanshan Military Village has lost its meaning of existence and has become a scenic spot in Fengxian. It attracts many people to visit there every day. As the earliest place where the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was stationed, many people also want to enjoy the dragon energy here. And Jin Jingnan naturally would not give up such an opportunity.

Enclose land and collect money!

If you want to step into Yanshan Military Village, each person has to pay a ten cent entrance fee. Although the number is small, it cannot withstand many people. You can actually earn a considerable income every day.

"Your Majesty, if Fengxian wants to develop again, I am actually a little confused." Jin Jingnan's face suddenly filled with smiles and approached Qin Feng.

A guy who has always been serious and suddenly smiles and gets close to you. Naturally, he is showing his kindness without any reason, and he is not a traitor.

"What do you think about it?" Qin Feng looked at him and asked vigilantly.

"Your Majesty, Fengxian has no good scenery, and now it has no previous geographical advantages. After crossing Yanshan, it is mostly military forbidden zones, so it is impossible for people to enter and exit at will. So, I have thought hard that Fengxian wants to recreate the prosperity of the past, and it seems that there is only one way to go, that is, to build it into a tourist destination."

"Didn't you just say there is nothing to see here?" Qin Feng asked in surprise.

"Your Majesty, when you are sightseeing, sometimes you are seeing natural landscapes, but sometimes you are seeing humanities!" Jin Jingnan looked at Qin Feng with a smile.

Qin Feng immediately understood that he had put his ideas on his head.

"Fengxian is where Your Majesty rejuvenates. Here, Your Majesty has left too many traces." Jin Jingnan said: "As long as you make good use of it, you can create a lot of wealth for the people of Fengxian."

"It's like you're setting up a card to collect money on this Yanshan Military Village?" Qin Feng asked with a smile. "Depending on what you mean, this is just a small fight. Do you want to test what I mean?"

"Your Majesty, this minister really dares. Your Majesty is wise, so I dare to have this idea." Jin Jingnan said quickly: "The people around Fengxian are all thinking about the people. How much money can they make by relying on the soil and digging food? Besides, Fengxian people have made a lot of money and have seen the world. If they continue like this now, I am afraid that the people of Fengxian will go to another place. Without people, it will be difficult to develop this place. I think Your Majesty is so wise and will definitely agree. But some officials disagree. People should be guarded in these places of Longxing, and people should be strictly prohibited from stepping in, so as not to blaspheme Your Majesty."

Qin Feng laughed: "If you smashed your big hat, I have to agree, otherwise it would be not a wise man, but a fool, who would not care about the local people."

"This, I really don't think about this boss!" Jin Jingnan lowered his head and said with a statement.

"Okay, okay, you can do whatever you want." Qin Feng said generously: "I also want to wear a wise hat."

When he heard this, Jin Jingnan was overjoyed: "Your Majesty is really wise. Your Majesty, in fact, in addition to Your Majesty's permanent residence here, the last time the Empress commanded the army to fight against the Qi people, he left behind many places. When I planned the Fengxian County Town, all these places were left. There were also places where tens of thousands of troops resisted bravely and refused to retreat when they were resisting the Qi army. Last time, I asked the students of Taiping County School to come here to worship the heroic spirits, and these places can naturally be used."

"So you had planned it long ago." Qin Feng smiled and said, "It's up to you. As long as the people of Feng County can make money, what's the problem?"

Jin Jingnan said happily: "Your Majesty, these local ministers will be well used to let everyone in the world come here to pay tribute to the footsteps of Your Majesty and the Empress, and the people of Fengxian can make money from those people well. Although Fengxian has no previous advantages, with the fame of Your Majesty and the Empress, I am afraid that they will live a better life in the future."

Looking at Jin Jingnan, Qin Feng couldn't help but Yan'er. This guy was indeed as Wang Hou, Ma Xiangnan and others commented. Although he was arrogant, he was flexible and dared to achieve his goals by any means. For example, he used the names of emperors and queens to make money, but I was afraid that other ministers would not dare to think about it.
