In April of the first year of Tianshou, the grass in the south of the Yangtze River was flying, the spring scenery was fascinating, and the spring was so strong that it made people feel a little dizzy.

Jinling City is full of joy, and there is another year of grand ceremony. After the country is strong, the people are prosperous, so they want to find something to do. This grand ceremony was just right.

The court needs money, factories need orders, and people need entertainment...

Hou Xuanyan stood at Fengtian Gate in the Forbidden City and took his ministers to look down. The ceremony was already very lively before it even started.

Famous actors, famous actors, and singers from all over the world rushed to Jinling. This is a good place for them to become famous.

Hou Xuan's waist and hips were weak and a little sore. Thanks to the medicines offered by Wang Fuzhi, he turned into a self-propelled cannon these days, and he was very tired after overworking.

Wang Fuzhi was a little ashamed. These days, he always felt that everyone's eyes were strange when they looked at him. Shangshu Wang kept hinting that I was making a sprout for the royal family and being fair and free in the hearts of the people...

Next to him, the officials of the Ministry of Works were full of red faces. In recent years, Jinling City has completely changed its appearance in their hands. There are high-rise buildings everywhere, majestic and in line with the aesthetics of oriental classics.

Hou Xuanyan nodded frequently and had a great chat with Gu Yanwu of the Ministry of Rites. The ceremony was about to begin, and members of the royal family from various countries also came to Jinling or on the way.

Nowadays, royal families from all countries come to China and like to rent a Chinese passenger ship. It is fast, comfortable and luxurious, and it is very safe.

The increasingly active Chinese merchants gradually made the entire sea area lively. I don’t know who discovered it first, but there was a commotion among the people below. Looking up, it turned out to be their own emperor.

The people were cheering and shouting long live together, especially those dressed as Taoist priests were the most fanatical.

Hou Xuanyan smiled and signaled to the people. Chen Changzhi, the commander of the Jinyiwei standing next to him, stepped forward and said with his ears: "Your Majesty, that person is Xia Rubi who presented the medicine."

"Oh?" Hou Xuanyan's eyes lit up and said, "Send the medicine to the medical museum, let them study it, improve it, confirm safety, and then produce more. The sea dog is growing in the extreme north. It goes north of Liaodong. There is a large area of ​​land. The territory is no less than that of our entire Dahua. It is an inherent territory of the Central Plains dynasty. Organize more adventure sea dog teams, increase bounties, strengthen contacts with local indigenous peoples, and help them integrate into our Hua Dynasty family as soon as possible."

A smile flashed in Chen Changzhi's eyes, he clasped his fists to take the order, turned around and gave an order, and some subordinates had already gone to handle the matter.

The people's calls have not stopped yet. Not to mention Hou Xuanyan, even the ministers around him feel honored. There have been almost no emperors so popular with the people since ancient times.

Hou Xuanyanyi was because of expelling the Tartars and making great achievements in military affairs. His experience was very legendary. More importantly, he brought the people to wealth. After the Dahua Dynasty opened up maritime business in the dominant sea area, the money he earned was almost used to squander, and he did not spend the luxury of the emperor like Spain, but instead benefited the people.

Through various methods, the people can make money from the court. What's even better is that in this process, the increase in income of the people and the increase in taxes, and the court did not suffer any losses.

No matter when, as long as the people can live a good life, they will receive support from the people.

After a morning of tiredness, Hou Xuanyan brought two Grand Secretarys to Wenyuan Pavilion. He was in his prime and was full of energy. He did not feel tired all the way. After taking a sip of tea, Hou Xuanyan asked lightly: "Spring is the weakest time for the nomadic people on the grassland, and the war in Junggar was also in a stalemate. A large amount of grain from Jingnan and other places also arrived in Jinling. How is the matter of Junggar transporting grain?"

The food matter was a major event in Chen Mingyu's mind. He was surprised when he heard the emperor's initiative to ask, and he pondered for a while and said, "Your Majesty, the food in Nanyang has indeed solved the urgent problem. The road to transporting food to Junggar has been almost completed."

Hou Xuanyan was so scared that he quickly put down the teacup and asked, "So quickly?"

Seeing that the emperor was so concerned, Ma Shiying quickly grabbed the conversation and said, "Go back to Your Majesty, we will divide the road construction project into thousands of sections. The prefectures and counties passing by locally bid for the bidding themselves to be responsible for the sections within their jurisdiction, and construction of many places together, so there is such a progress."

Hou Xuanyan was very satisfied and praised: "It is necessary to do things like this. Use your brain more. There is nothing difficult in the world, but you are afraid of those who are determined. As long as you use your brain, you can always come up with a solution. You both have worked hard for this matter, and each of them is given a robe and jade belt."

Ma Shiying smiled with a smile on his eyes and lowered his head to thank him. The python robe is a kind of garment given by the emperor. Wearing a python robe requires a jade belt. The python robe is similar to the dragon robe worn by the emperor. It was not included in the official uniforms, but was given to the garment given by eunuchs and important officials in the Ming Dynasty. Obtaining such garments is considered to be a great honor. Dahua continued this tradition, so even if these two great scholars were the heads of all officials, they were very happy to be given to the garment.

Building roads in the northwest is a very difficult fortification. Fortunately, the country is now in ruins and natural disasters in the north are constantly coming, and the people can do some work, which can be regarded as labor-for-relief. Letting the people eat through road construction and changing mouths is much better than letting them sit and wait for relief. This is true for the court and most people.

These roads will be of great use in the future, because further north of the north of the desert is the Siberia in later generations. These places are cold and freezing, so they can only fight a small-scale battle of hundreds of people.

The war with Tsarist Russia will come sooner or later. It is probably fought in the Junggar or crossing the Junggar. At that time, these roads will be supply lines, which is very important.

Moreover, only by building the roads and strengthening the connection between the mainland and the desert can Jingbei truly integrate into China. National integration does not rely on the Qing Dynasty to shave their heads and change their clothes, nor does it rely on the Great Wall, but on the practical convenience of transportation.

As long as the road is built, the people on the grassland and the Han people south of the Great Wall are mutually inextricable, and they are under the jurisdiction of Jingbei, abide by the same "Huayu", speak Chinese language, learn Chinese characters, and learn Han history, it will be difficult to divide the Mobei in the future.

Hou Xuanyan was very proud when he thought of this. Seeing that the two great scholars were immersed in joy and had no intention of complimenting him at all. Hou Xuanyan, who was itchy in his heart, had no choice but to take action and chuckled: "The Emperor Qin and Emperors of the Ming Dynasty, the Emperor of the Han and Wu, all attacked the grasslands in the north, won the victory, and massacred the Tartars for a hundred years. However, there were nearly 200,000 Mongolians in my hands, who were wearing strong and holding their sharp edges for me, attacking and fighting. Who has had such achievements for the past thousand years... Haha... Haha."

Ma Shiying quickly said seriously: "This kind of contribution is not only unprecedented, but people in the future are beyond the reach of thousands of years."
Chapter completed!
