The emperor led a group of more than a dozen ministers, under the protection of many guards, to walk the streets and alleys in Danyang County.

Streets and alleys, bit by bit, that's the truth, you can't fake it.

The earthen blast furnaces are smoking, the houses are tinkling, and the men, women and children are all busy, with little time to spare.

In the evening, the group stopped, feeling hungry.

Cai and the great eunuch asked, do you want the imperial chef to prepare dinner?

There is an imperial chef accompanying him, although the conditions here are simple, but it is still possible to prepare the food of the emperor and more than a dozen ministers.

Xiang Yanran shook her head, and took the ministers to a lively big shop on the street to eat, and made a few big tables in the corner.

However, I saw that there were all kinds of chickens, ducks, fish and meat in this big shop, as well as farm vegetables, and the guests came in to choose chickens and ducks, which were freshly made.

According to the food standards of the emperor and the ministers of the Three Princes and Nine Emperors, it is a feast of delicacies made by the imperial kitchen on weekdays, and this street shop is of course shabby and simple, and the food is rough and almost difficult to swallow.

However, for civilians who have lived in a county town all their lives, this food is already quite luxurious.

I saw that in the evening, the blacksmiths came to this big shop.

They were busy with ironwork at night, and they didn't have time to go home for dinner, so they had a supper in this shop.

A meal of chicken, duck, fish and meat is only one or twenty copper plates, and their income can afford to pay for it.

Being able to eat meat at every meal every day is simply unimaginable for the people of Dachu. Many people may not be able to taste meat for a month.

However, Danyang County has almost done it.

In this big shop, the table is full of meat and vegetables, and none of the blacksmiths are reluctant to spend money.

Xiang Yanran was in a good mood when she saw this scene, and the ministers smiled and said, "I'll eat here!" ... I haven't eaten this peasant meal for many years. Taste the taste of this people's food, and remember the bittersweet memory!

What is political achievement?

The government writes a list of achievements and lists a lot of numbers, but they don't count! That is the government's achievements, not the people's achievements.

Count the bowls of rice and meat dishes on the table of the common people, and it will be clear at a glance.

In this big shop, almost every blacksmith came in and ordered a plate of chicken, duck and fish, and they were able to eat meat every day, which was a great achievement!

I am a hundred counties and thousands of counties in Chu, if everyone can eat such a big bowl of rice and meat dishes every day, it will be an unprecedented prosperous era, and I will laugh at my ancestors and ancestors. ”

The emperor was extremely emotional.

He walked around the county for a long time, and gradually figured out how Danyang County's blind "list of political achievements" came out.

First of all, there must be work.

Danyang County's "steelware" is very, very famous, and the price is not outrageously expensive, attracting a large number of businessmen from other places to purchase ironware.

Other places in Dachu can only make iron, and very few can make "steel".

That's why there is a saying, "Good steel is on the edge of a knife!" The blade is made of iron, and the blade is made of steel.

However, Danyang County has refined "steel", and the entire farm tools and knives are made of all steel.

It's just amazing.

Merchants from all over the country flocked to buy steel in large quantities.

Danyang County originally had 3,000 households and a population of 15,000. In addition, the number of landless "displaced people" recruited in the past six months has increased to nearly 30,000.

Ma'anshan mining, ore transportation, steel smelting in the city, blacksmith shop iron... Danyang County did it all on its own.

The richest are, of course, the county lord of Danyang and the marquis of Xiaodu.

Ma'anshan Iron Mine is owned by the county lord.

Nearly 100 earthen blast furnaces are also small and faint, and a small number are other people's. The "steel ingots" that are refined are extremely valuable, and they are all profiteering.

The ingots were sold to the blacksmiths in the city.

Every house is iron-struck.

The blacksmiths earn three to five hundred copper coins a day, which is very rich!

The people of the small Danyang County became richer than the people of the Jinling Imperial City overnight.

Danyang County Ya draws taxes from it, and the tax revenue has skyrocketed sharply, and it is not surprising that it has skyrocketed tenfold in half a year, and it is naturally rich.

When the county government and the people have money, everything will naturally be logical.

Purchasing a large number of ploughing cattle from other counties, building giant waterwheels, and eating meat for everyone...

The blacksmiths ate in large bowls, munched on meat, and had oil and water in their stomachs.

Even if they were originally thin people, striking iron every day and eating meat at once, it only took three months for them to grow lean, strong, and powerful.

It's no wonder that in this Danyang county town, there are almost no ragged and skinny people, walking on the street are a group of fierce iron men, and their eyes are full of fine light.

These miners and blacksmiths are very hard-working and very capable of fighting.

Those thieves, like thin monkeys, were slapped by the blacksmith and flew out.

Every household is full of fierce blacksmiths, and which thief is blind and dares to steal and provoke them?

The whole of Danyang County is alive!

"I suddenly understood that there were no thieves in Danyang County..... It doesn't seem impossible.

Moreover, Danyang County recruits unlimited displaced people. If you have this heart of stealing, it is better to sign up to work in the mine, and the money will be faster and more stable.

As for lawsuits, homicides? ... The blacksmiths earned three or five hundred copper coins a day, and their eyes were shining with gold, and in a few days they were worth a few taels of silver.

Who is idle and panicked, and runs to the county government to fight a lawsuit? Delay time, lose too much money, it is better not to fight this lawsuit.

Do you think that's the case? ”

Emperor Xiang Yanran pondered carefully and said.

In other counties, it is completely unbelievable and cannot be achieved at all. In Danyang County, it seems to be commonplace, and there is nothing wrong with it.

"Yes~!"

"I waited to see that the list of achievements was wrong, but I didn't consider the facts, and I still had to look at it on the spot to find out."

The ministers were also powerless to refute, their faces were pale, holding dishes and chopsticks, chewing in small bites, and they didn't know the taste of food.

"Gurgle~"

A few small pebbles also popped up from time to time in the meal, and the mouths full of gravel and teeth made them feel even worse.

Their "micro-service private visits" are here to find out the fault of the falsification of the political achievements of the Marquis.

How, unconsciously.

It has become a trip to Danyang County's political performance commendation?!

If I knew this was the case, I might as well not come!

They scolded in Jinling City, and the emperor couldn't see these facts anyway, and he was suspicious.

Now I come to Danyang County and look everywhere.

it!

This dazzling and blind political achievement seems to be true.

The ministers wanted to vomit blood in their hearts.

Xiao Duhou is so good at governing a county, he has built Danyang County into a steel town, which is so rich that oil flows everywhere, and his political achievements are the best in hundreds of counties and thousands of counties in Chu.

Not to mention compared with other counties, even some "counties" are almost inferior to a Danyang County.

If this continues, within three or five years, Danyang County will skyrocket, and it will be able to compare its financial resources with those traditional county capitals "Changsha and Wanling".

What about these ministers?

Is it to recognize the achievements of the little dusk marquis?

Or continue to suppress Xiao Duhou?

Kong Hanyou and Wang Su glanced at each other, and each other's hearts were awe-inspiring.

They know it in their hearts at the moment.

Xiao Duhou's political achievements should be seven or eight and nine, almost all of them are true. If Xiao Duhou was from their own side, he would have touted the heavens a long time ago and made him the most shining new star in the political arena.

However, Xiao Duhou is not his own person!

Can this achievement still be recognized?

"No, even if you pick bones in the eggs, you have to find a big problem in Danyang County! Otherwise, I am afraid that I will be overturned by Xiao Duhou and gain momentum in one fell swoop. ”

Xiao Duhou's governance ability is terrifying, it is simply terrifying.

Once the Marquis of Xiao Duan was promoted to the county guard, he even further ranked in Jiuqing, and entered the court to become a high-ranking official of the ministry. He co-opted those scholars of the imperial examination, who were not Confucianists or magnates, to form a third faction.

When the time comes, who else will be able to compete with it?!
