With enough spirits, Yi Xingchen simply went to the palace study to deal with state affairs. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, this time, Yi Xingchen was unusual, instead of going through the recitals submitted by the cabinet ministers for the first time, he first looked at an unconventional report submitted by the Imperial Intelligence Bureau-there was a record of the queen's parade.

During the day, although Queen Liu Yiyi didn't say much, Yi Xingchen didn't ignore it, and Liu Yiyi mentioned that she encountered some uncomfortable things on this trip.

Therefore, this matter has been hanging in Yi Xingchen's heart, he wants to see what the queen has encountered in the Xinghua Empire this time, what makes her unhappy, whether it will be the people's livelihood problems are not as good as she wishes, or she encounters some trouble on the way or is provoked by others, etc., at the same time, Yi Xingchen also wants to use the queen's footprints to understand how the situation is in other parts of the empire.

Liu Yiyi left the palace on this trip, and her footprints were considered to have traveled through most of the empire, except for the two cities of Nanyun City and Anhua City in the Western Regions, which were the land of the hundred barbarians, she had not been to, and she had basically finished all the other regions. Therefore, basically every place Liu Yiyi goes to, there will be relevant written records, recording the important events she encountered on the way. It's just that some areas occupy a little longer pages, while others are more brief.

This kind of focus also conducted a round of screening for Yi Xingchen, that is, because of this report, Yi Xingchen knew what Liu Yiyi felt bad about - when Liu Yiyi arrived in Jiangzhou, she had the worst impression of Yangcheng.

Seeing this, Yi Xingchen finally understood that the queen's depression was originally because she saw the hardships and turmoil of people's livelihood in some areas of the empire. Yi Xingchen can understand the queen's feelings, as the emperor of the empire, if there is any area of the empire where the people's livelihood is not settled, Yi Xingchen will also be hanging on it.

Of course, Yi Xingchen still felt that the queen was not uncomfortable because of any trouble on the road, which was a good thing.

But Yi Xingchen couldn't explain the situation to Liu Yiyi in detail, after all, Yangcheng is now a front-line area, close to the war zone, and it will naturally be affected by the war.

Because of the outbreak of the war, there was an influx of refugees in Yangcheng, which suddenly increased the pressure on the people's livelihood in Yangcheng, not only that, but among the people who poured in, it also included all kinds of green forest bandits, the remnants of the Xia State in Jiangzhou, the spies of the Xia State, etc., therefore, the entire Yangcheng inevitably became a place where dragons and snakes mixed in an instant, and even the situation in the entire eastern part of Jiangzhou fell into chaos.

This whole process has gone through a relatively complicated change, so Yi Xingchen doesn't know how to explain it to Liu Yiyi at once, but in fact, the chaos in Yangcheng that she has witnessed now has been controlled by the efforts of the people of the empire. General Lyon's command pursued the ruling style of "governing troubled times with heavy codes" and implemented a particularly harsh system of "severe punishment" in the eastern part of Jiangzhou, and once anyone dared to violate the laws of the empire and disrupt public order in the Jiangzhou region, there was absolutely no room for leniency, and they would be shot if they were convicted.

It is precisely thanks to this set of strict and almost inhumane heavy code system that the chaotic Jiangzhou area, especially Yangcheng and other areas affected by the war, can finally be restored to a relatively stable state to a large extent in the shortest possible time, otherwise, the scene Liu Yiyi saw would definitely be more chaotic and bleak than what she saw now.

If we want to say that the situation in Jiangzhou is relatively good at present, it is still the western region of Jiangzhou.

After Yi Xingchen carefully read the report of the Intelligence Bureau, he probably understood Liu Yiyi's troubles, and before comforting Liu Yiyi, he first replied to a letter, highly praising the intelligence personnel who did their best to protect Liu Yiyi during Liu Yiyi's travel, and personally gave instructions for this, asking the director of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau to give some bonuses to the relevant intelligence personnel as appropriate.

After solving the doubts in his heart, immediately after, Yi Xingchen naturally officially began to deal with national affairs, after all, he also accumulated some official affairs waiting for him to deal with. Therefore, Yi Xingchen then read the legislative report of the Imperial Diet, the policy report of the Imperial Cabinet, the report of the Ministry of Defense, and the briefing of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau.

In these reports, there are documents that need to be personally corrected by Yi Xingchen, but there are also some regular official reports that only need Yi Xingchen to understand in order to grasp the movements of the empire anytime and anywhere, so Yi Xingchen has carried out different classifications for different types of official documents.

For example, there is a bandit group in Beisha City. However, the police stationed in Beisha City only have relatively simple firepower that is only used to maintain regular social order, which is not enough to deal with the bandit groups, and has no deterrent effect outside the city. In response to this situation, Yi Xingchen ordered the Ministry of National Defense to send troops to support the police department in Beisha City, and help the police department in Beisha City to strengthen the training of police personnel, or recruit people with comparable ability, and then strengthen the weapons and equipment of the police department, and form an armed police force of 100 people as the regular force of the police station to maintain law and order;

For another example, the envoy group of the Southern Hundred Barbarian Alliance appeared in Nanyun City. Yi Xingchen gave strict instructions, clearly stating that he absolutely did not agree to the envoys of the Hundred Barbarian Alliances entering the capital, and only allowed them to visit Nantucheng, where officials from the Imperial Foreign Ministry were responsible for receiving and discussing diplomatic relations between the two countries.

The envoys of the Hundred Barbarian Alliances have not been authenticated for the time being, and the Xinghua Empire does not have offices in other countries, so the diplomatic relations between the two countries are uncertain for a day, so it is natural that the envoys cannot be easily allowed to enter the core area such as the capital, and foreigners without legal status must be refused to enter the hinterland of the Xinghua Empire.

This regulation and code of conduct also apply to barbarians who do not have the status of the Empire, for example, without the permission of the city guards of Nanyun City, or without the permission of the generals above the commander of the Empire, without the personal permission of these institutions or relevant persons, such foreigners are absolutely not allowed to easily enter the hinterland of the Empire, and they can only be allowed to conduct legal and related trade activities in Nanyun City;

For example, the anti-corruption campaign in Wangdong City should continue to crack down on corrupt officials. At the same time, the promotion of young officials trained by the empire itself to replace the old bureaucracy.

Yi Xingchen clearly instructed that if Wangdong City wants to continue to develop and grow, it must first get rid of all corrupt factors, especially to "clean" the management of Wangdong City. Otherwise, once the situation of corrupt officials running rampant is not effectively controlled, it will inevitably endanger the people's livelihood, either the officials will harm the interests of the people, detain and oppress the ordinary people, and cause the people to live in misery, or it will be the collusion between officials and businessmen, which will lead to the officials forcing the people to rebel. In addition, the reason why Yi Xingchen also emphasized the need to replace the old bureaucrats and reuse the officials trained by the empire itself, that is, an order to ensure the unity of the imperial power;

In addition, Yi Xingchen also gave an official document about Xilin City. After reading the official document, Yi Xingchen instructed: Xilin City Nuclear Power Plant should strengthen its defense forces, maintain stable development of Xilin Industrial Base, and give priority to the development of heavy industry......

Yi Xingchen gave instructions on every state document as much as possible, among which, if there is any doubt about the specific content of some documents, he will first put it aside, and then let the cabinet convey it, asking the relevant departments to give more detailed content to corroborate.

The number of official documents accumulated is indeed quite a lot, and it was not until late at night that Yi Xingchen could take a break and go back to the palace to rest.

The next day, when they got up, Yi Xingchen and Liu Yiyi left the palace together, and specially found their son Yi Chengye to have breakfast together. Yi Chengye is now at the stage of enjoying campus life, so he usually boards in the school to facilitate his study and life, so under normal circumstances, if Yi Xingchen comes back from Blue Mercury, he will try his best to go with Liu Yiyi to find his son Yi Chengye to get together, first, to enjoy family life, and secondly, to understand how his son's academic progress is, or whether there is anything on campus that needs their assistance, etc.

The family had a harmonious breakfast, and after chatting for a long time, Yi Chengye said that he had made an appointment with his friends, and it was time to go to the appointment, so he said goodbye to Yi Xingchen and Liu Yiyi. The two did not affect their son's independent life, so they had to go shopping together in Xinghua New Town, which can be regarded as observing the people's feelings and public opinions.

Yi Xingchen looked at the increasingly prosperous Xinghua New Town, and really felt a lot, the sinister Valley of Oblivion in the past, that dangerous area where even human lives may be unsafe at any time, not to mention that it can be lived, even if it is a problem to survive, but now, seeing it become a prosperous city, it is really an amazing change, which is unimaginable in the eyes of the old people in the past. Today, not including the population of the mining area, just counting the two cities of Xinghua City and Xinghua New Town, the population in the city has already exceeded 200,000, and this alone can already make Yi Xingchen feel very proud.

Yi Xingchen was strolling around with Liu Yiyi, while telling his mental journey, as if he had turned out the old history, and Liu Yiyi also shared his feelings with Yi Xingchen in detail, and the two enjoyed this feeling of leisure and satisfaction during the conversation.

After walking around, when Liu Yiyi felt tired, Yi Xingchen sent her back to the palace first, and then went to the cabinet office to meet the prime minister. He had a congenial tea party with the Prime Minister, cabinet ministers and officials from the Cabinet Office. At the tea party, Yi Xingchen cordially greeted the ministers, and also instructed the guards to give each cabinet minister a bottle of excellent Linggu wine after a while, so that the cabinet ministers can take care of their health and serve the country. Ordinary officials in the cabinet office were also rewarded with ten bottles of Linggu wine.

The best Linggu wine is the top spirit wine in the Xinghua Empire, and the production is scarce. Exclusively for the royal family, ordinary citizens of the empire could not buy it even if they had money. Linggu wine is more common, but it is expensive. Yi Xingchen took these two different grades of wine as a reward, which was not bad.

All the officials saluted the emperor and thanked him for his reward.

The tea party ended, and Yi Xingchen left the cabinet office. Yi Xingchen didn't go to the palace in Xinghua New Town, where Yi Xingchen was not used to living. Only when the court meeting is held, Yi Xingchen will go to the Xincheng Palace to stay for a few days. Of course, sometimes, the queen wants to watch an opera in the new city, the time is too late, and Yi Xingchen is not in another world, she will also stay in the new city palace.

This is not the point, the point is that Yi Xingchen not only did not have the idea of staying in the palace. Now that he has gone out of the palace to inspect, Yi Xingchen still wants to go to the mine to take a look at the situation in the mine.

Yi Xingchen took advantage of the limited telephone network that the Xinghua Empire had just built to make a phone call to Liu Yiyi, so that Liu Yiyi didn't have to wait for him to go home for dinner. Liu Yiyi and Yi Xingchen made an appointment at eight o'clock in the evening, and the family attended the opera house to enjoy the latest opera "Jiangzhou Enmity and Enmity". This is a family activity, and it is also an activity for the royal family to get close to the people, Yi Xingchen readily agreed, saying that he would definitely go to the opera house on time.

The mines of the Xinghua Empire and the capital of the Xinghua Empire are completely different worlds.

Today's mines are no longer slave-based, and there are also some civilians who take the initiative to become miners in order to make money. These miners receive wages. In terms of mines, some civilian facilities will also be built for them, such as shops, stadiums and other facilities. It's just that the miners a few years ago were mainly government officials and soldiers of Ganglong State. It's just that they originally came to another world as the most people, and they were rootless duckweed.

After years of development, coupled with the protection of the Xinghua Empire, it was attacked by fierce beasts. It didn't take long for many people to come to terms with the fact that they could never return to their homeland, and the mine became their new home.

Yi Xingchen remembered that a few years ago, the Ganglong people in the mine took the initiative to apply to integrate into the Xinghua Empire. At that time, the Xinghua Empire lacked scientific and technological talents, and many factories in the Xinghua Empire also lacked high-level workers and modern management personnel.

Yi Xingchen passed a special decree to allow the children of miners in the mines to take the entrance examination of the Empire, and allowed the children of miners to enter the public schools of the Empire to learn the Xinghua language of the Xinghua Empire, promising that the children of miners could become civilians of the Xinghua Empire through normal channels. To this end, the empire has harvested a large number of high-level talents, and obtained a large number of grass-roots management talents who are familiar with primary industry, which has promoted the industrial development of the empire.

Yi Xingchen's trip to the mine was mainly to visit a comprehensive school in the mine.

This comprehensive school, most modeled after the Blue Mercury school system, is divided into seven grades. The subjects are mainly Chinese, mathematics, physics, chemistry, and swordsmanship. In each grade, you must pass in order to go on to higher education. After graduating completely, you can get a chance to take a public vocational qualification test, and you are eligible to apply for a higher education such as a comprehensive vocational college, and then study other higher-level subjects, and after completing the course, enrich all walks of life in the empire.
