The four of them discussed for a long time in the study, and several of the most important things were finally decided.

Next, it's time for something less important.

After Ning Zhiyuan took a sip of tea, he said very casually: "Ah Zhen, you can think of a favorite title yourself, and then I will seal your brothers together, so that I don't have to help you think of another name." ”

When Chi Fei heard this, he suddenly had a bad feeling.

He hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Father-in-law, what do you want to seal your son-in-law?" ”

Ning Zhiyuan asked knowingly: "Of course it's Prince Feng, do you need to talk about it?" ”

Chi Fei suddenly showed a frightened expression, "What? Do you want to make your son-in-law a prince? It's not appropriate, right? ”

"Fart, what is inappropriate.

You are my son-in-law, that is, most of my son, isn't it normal to be crowned a prince? ”

"If that's the case, then the eldest brother-in-law will also be crowned a prince?"

"How can he compare with you, he has no merit, and at most he can only be a marquis.

If it weren't for the fact that he was the prince of Ashan, I wouldn't even want to give him the title. ”

"But you just said ......"

"Shut up, this matter has already been decided, you just have to think about your title, don't be verbose." Ning Zhiyuan interrupted him very rudely.

It's not the same thing as what you do.

Looking at his father-in-law, who was like a bandit leader and didn't intend to be reasonable at all, Chi Fei really wanted to cry without tears.

Ning Yabai and Ning Yafeng looked at their brother-in-law with a bitter face, and almost couldn't help laughing.

Chi Fei looked at his father-in-law with a domineering face, and the two uncles who were sitting on the side watching the excitement, and he really had a hard time.

He wasn't pretending to be modest, but he really felt that there was something wrong with it.

After thinking carefully for a while, Chi Fei, who had already thought clearly, suddenly walked up to his father-in-law and saluted: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law is not talented, I implore my father-in-law to take back his fate." This is the son-in-law's sincere words, not a prevarication. ”

Ning Zhiyuan saw that his attitude was so resolute, and he couldn't help frowning: "You first tell me the reason for your resignation, and then I will consider whether to accept it." ”

"Yes, father-in-law.

Father-in-law, you should still remember that your son-in-law was framed by the blessed king Zhao Yan'an and almost died unjustly in prison.

Later, your father-in-law looked at me differently and married his beloved daughter Ah Zhi to me, which made my son-in-law fortunate to become your son-in-law.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Yuan does not dare to retaliate anymore, and his son-in-law can also do things with peace of mind.

If the son-in-law is really rewarded by you and becomes a hereditary prince for generations, the son-in-law's children and even grandchildren should be able to be safe and disciplined under the supervision of the son-in-law.

But when the son-in-law is a hundred years later, the grandsons of the grandsons of the son-in-law, and the many descendants that follow, who can guarantee that they will be able to be as disciplined as the son-in-law and not do anything to fish and flesh the people?

It is precisely because the son-in-law was deeply persecuted by King Fu that he knew that the princes and nobles had great power, and to the common people, they were tantamount to mountain giants and injustices.

If the descendants of my Su family really rely on the respect of the prince to know the law and break the law and be the party to the disaster, the harm caused by it will be far greater than that of ordinary bureaucratic families, and it may even be left behind for 10,000 years.

If there is such a day, it will be difficult for the son-in-law to look at him even if he is under the Nine Springs.

Instead of worrying about the evil consequences that will happen in the future, it is better for the son-in-law to refuse the prince's title from the beginning to prevent future troubles.

This is the words of the son-in-law, and he implores his father-in-law to take back his life. After speaking, Chi Fei solemnly bent down and saluted.

Ning Yabai and Ning Yafeng, who were originally watching the excitement on the side, couldn't imagine that their brother-in-law's attitude was so resolute, and they couldn't help but be shocked.

And after Ning Zhiyuan looked at his little son-in-law deeply for a while, his eyes became more and more complicated.

After a while, he finally sighed helplessly and said, "That's it, since you insist on this, I don't want to force you, so let it be as you like."

I really convince you, others wish that the higher the title and official position, the better, but you are good, but avoid it like a snake and scorpion.

You're being too careful. ”

Seeing that his father-in-law was finally willing to take back his life, Chi Fei was relieved.

Taking advantage of this good opportunity, he decided to take advantage of the situation to strike iron and solve the other two matters together, so Chi Fei said again: "Thank you father-in-law for your understanding, and my son-in-law will feel guilty."

In addition, the son-in-law has two things to ask his father-in-law to agree. ”

"Tell me about it." The little son-in-law has always rarely begged him, and Ning Zhiyuan also wanted to hear what this kid wanted from him.

"First of all, I implore my father-in-law to take back my son-in-law's 10% bonus from the Jiujiang Salt Farm.

This bonus is too hot, and the son-in-law has no blessing to bear, so he begs his father-in-law to take it back. ”

Ning Zhiyuan said a little unhappily: "The Yantian Method was personally researched by you, and this is the dividend I promised you back then, why not?" ”

Chi Fei Zhengrong said: "In all dynasties, salt and iron are the important weapons of the imperial court, and all the proceeds should be returned to the treasury, how can they let their huge profits fall on someone."

When your father-in-law really wants to implement a monopoly decree on salt and iron throughout the country, how will you explain to your ministers why such a large amount of revenue has fallen out of the national treasury?

This is not only unreasonable, but also easy to fall into the hands of others.

Therefore, you should take back this dividend, and ask your father-in-law to know it. ”

Ning Zhiyuan thought about it carefully and felt that the words of the little son-in-law did have some truth.

After he ascended the throne, sooner or later this monopoly policy of salt and iron would have to be implemented throughout the country, which was an important source of revenue for the state treasury.

If you continue to give the 10% bonus to the little son-in-law, it is likely that this kid will become a big fat sheep in everyone's eyes.

For the little son-in-law, who has always been low-key, this is obviously not the result he wants.

After thinking about it carefully, Ning Zhiyuan nodded and said, "Okay, I can take back this dividend."

But as compensation, I will exchange that Jiujiang market near the Jiujiang pier for you.

In two days I will have someone send you the title deed, and the market will be yours in the future. ”

"How can this be, this ......" Chi Fei was about to refuse, but found that his father-in-law was glaring at him with an angry face, and he suddenly didn't dare to say any more.

Chi Fei knew that if he refused again, he might really anger his father-in-law, so he had to sneer: "That... The son-in-law thanked his father-in-law for his generous gift. ”

Ning Zhiyuan finally looked at this kid a little, and his expression softened.

As the prefect of Jiujiang, Chi Fei naturally knows very well that Jiujiang Wharf and Jiujiang Market are veritable cornucopias.

Especially since Jiujiang Port has become the largest port in the Central Plains, whether it is Jiujiang Wharf or Jiujiang Market, its monthly rental income is a huge income, which is not much less than that Yicheng salt profit.

With this Jiujiang market, which is making money every day, as long as the Su family does not have that kind of super loser in the future, it can basically ensure that each generation of family heads no longer has to worry about money.

This compensation is indeed a lot.

"Tell me, what's the second thing you want?" Ning Zhiyuan then asked.

"When the world is stable and the affairs of the court are on the right track, the son-in-law hopes to no longer hold any official positions, and at most only provide advice and assistance as a staff member......"

Before he could finish speaking, Ning Zhiyuan directly slapped the table and said loudly: "Stinky boy, I knew you didn't want to be an official, but I didn't expect you to think about taking the burden so early."

No, Lao Tzu didn't agree. ”

Being yelled at by his father-in-law, Chi Fei couldn't help but tremble a little weakly, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "Father-in-law, please calm your anger, the son-in-law said this not to take the burden, but to have other plans." ”

"Okay, I'll hear what you kid is going to quibble." Ning Zhiyuan glared at him angrily.

"To tell you the truth, my son-in-law has a very important thing that he wants to make.

This kind of thing can replace human and animal power, and do things that many human and animal power cannot do.

For example, it can replace horse-drawn carriages and transport hundreds or even thousands of people from one place to another in a matter of days.

Or it can replace the sails, allowing the big ship to swim against the current when there is no wind or headwind.

It can even allow hundreds of looms to work at the same time, weaving a large amount of cloth in just a few days, which would take thousands of hands and months to weave.

Father-in-law, imagine if this kind of thing was really made, how much impact it would have on Daning's transportation and textile industry.

I dare say that the importance of this kind of stuff will be unprecedented.

And what I want to do is to try my best to make this kind of thing, and then benefit the whole Daning, the whole world.

If I had been in an official position, I would have been so busy with government affairs that I would not be able to devote myself to research.

Which of these is more important, the father-in-law should be able to see at a glance. ”

"What the hell is that thing you're talking about, so powerful?" Ning Zhiyuan, Ning Yabai, and Ning Yafeng, father and son, were immediately aroused by Chi Fei's words.

If someone else tells them such a thing, of course they don't believe it, and they will only think that the other person is a liar.

But Chi Fei was the one who personally developed a powerful system of firearms such as muskets, flowering shells, and floor guns, and his words were naturally very convincing.

Chi Fei smiled mysteriously, "This thing is called a steam engine." To put it simply, it is to use the power of water vapor when it rises to replace human and animal power for work. ”

"Harnessing the power of water vapor as it rises? Does this water vapor really have the power to replace human and animal power? Ning Yafeng couldn't help but interject and asked.

"Second brother, the power of water vapor is far greater than you think.

Suppose there is a very large pot and someone happens to be standing on the lid.

When the water in the cauldron boils, the steam is strong enough to lift the person on top of it.

In the same way, as much effort is needed, you can build as much boiler as you want.

When the boiler is large enough, it can produce enough power to replace horses and sails, leaving carts without horses, large ships without sails, and hundreds of looms running at the same time. That's where the steam engine comes in.

I've heard that some foreigners are already working on this thing, and we need to build it before they do.

However, due to the complexity of the steam engine and the many technical problems that needed to be solved, it could not be built in a matter of years.

If it can be successfully developed and put into use within 10 years, it is already the most optimistic result.

If you're unlucky, it might take twenty or thirty years.

But even so, the son-in-law still didn't want to give up.

Father-in-law, you have to believe me, once this steam engine is successfully developed, it will be a cross-era machine that will change the face of the whole world, and its significance is no less than that of firearms such as muskets and floor guns, and even surpasses them. ”

Looking at the little son-in-law's firm and persistent eyes, Ning Zhiyuan finally softened his heart and agreed after thinking about it for a while, "Okay, since you said that thing is so important, let's develop it well."

After I drive out the Hu people in the south and southwest, and then put down the rebellion in Jiangdong, then the world should gradually settle down.

At that time, you can resign and study the thing you said, and you can ask me directly for anything you want, and I will fully support you. ”

"Thank you father-in-law, my son-in-law will definitely do his best." Chi Fei was very happy to salute and thank you.

"You study and study, don't forget what you just said, even if you are not an official, you usually have to help us come up with more ideas. Your mind has always been bright, and I won't let you take the burden of it. ”

"The father-in-law has an order, and the son-in-law should obey it, definitely, definitely." Chi Fei hurriedly replied with a smile.

Looking at this kid's dog-legged look, Ning Zhiyuan was really angry and funny.

The so-called seeing people's hearts for a long time, and getting along with each other for so many years, he has long known a lot about his little son-in-law.

Ning Zhiyuan knew that this kid should really want to study what kind of steam engine came out, but there must be some careful thinking that he didn't want to be an official, so he used this as an excuse to prevaricate.

For this tired and indifferent kid, Ning Zhiyuan really can't do anything about him.

Forget it, forget it, since this kid really doesn't want to be an official, let him be.

Anyway, he is his own family, and there are still a lot of places to let this kid come up with ideas in the future, so it is not a bad idea to let him give advice behind his back as a close aide.

Ning Zhiyuan's speculation can be said to be a hundred shots, and Chi Fei really thinks so.

It is true that Chi Fei wants to study the cross-era machinery that triggered the first industrial revolution in his lifetime, but at the same time, he also wants to rebuild his literary newspaper, and he doesn't want to be an official at all, so he will use this as an excuse to convince his father-in-law.

It's just that he didn't know that his careful thinking had actually been seen through by Ning Zhiyuan, an old fox.

……………………

After coming out of his father-in-law's mansion, Chi Fei felt more relaxed and happy than ever.

He didn't expect that several problems that had been bothering him for a long time would be solved in one night.

This kind of exhilarating feeling of sweeping away multiple problems is something that no one who has not experienced it firsthand cannot experience.

Among them, he had long been prepared to implement the two things of returning the 10% salt profit that his father-in-law gave him back to the Ning family, and persuading his father-in-law to let him not have to be an official in the future.

In particular, the return of salt profits is the top priority.

Today's Jiujiang Salt Works has made a lot of money just by selling illicit salt to all parts of the country.

If my father-in-law really wants to implement a monopoly policy on salt and iron across the country in the future, the profits of the Jiujiang Salt Works will definitely become even more amazing, and it may even increase by more than two or three times.

After all, the profits of private salt and public salt are not the same.

If Chi Fei still holds this salt profit at that time, not to mention how many people's eyes will be aroused, it will not be a way to go on like this in the long run.

Therefore, before his father-in-law officially ascended the throne, he had to hand over this salt profit back to the Ning family.

However, what he didn't expect was that his father-in-law wanted to make him a prince directly with his two uncles.

This was really a big surprise to Chi Fei.

In all dynasties, all those who are qualified to be crowned princes are all close relatives of the royal family with the blood of the heavenly family without exception, either the emperor's uncle or the prince's son, how can there be a reason to make a person with a foreign surname a prince.

But his father-in-law, Ning Zhiyuan, is a person who does not play cards according to common sense, and he really wants to set this precedent and make Chi Fei, who is his son-in-law, also a prince.

For his father-in-law's love, of course Chi Fei was very moved.

But moved is moved, he really can't accept this prince's title.

The reason why he can't take it is not for himself, but for the sake of future generations.

The reason that Chi Fei said to his father-in-law was just an excuse.

What he is really worried about is not that the Su family will have any losers who will rely on the power of the prince to do mischief in the future, but that the descendants of the Su family may be involved in the whirlpool of the battle for succession in the future and the family will be ruined.

Chi Fei dared to say that with his deep relationship with his father-in-law and two uncles, his children and grandchildren's generation, as long as they did not have the kind of brain-dead descendants who wanted to rebel, could basically maintain a good cousin relationship with the Ning family.

But as my father-in-law said, there are many human lives, and even if he is him, he can only manage three generations.

After three generations, to the fourth, fifth, and even sixth generations, the blood relationship between the Su family and the Ning family has inevitably become weaker and weaker.

At that time, the relationship between the two families of Ning and Su will depend on the interaction between the two families.

The title of the prince is a super-knight, and it will not be downgraded in reason and law.

In other words, even after several generations, the Su family is still a hereditary prince's mansion, and it is still a veritable king with a different surname.

For the princes who intend to participate in the battle for succession, this king with a different surname is too conspicuous, and it is very likely to become the object of competition among the princes.

What should I do if I call the descendants of the Su family then? To stand in line or not to take sides?

When you reach a family of the level of a king with a different surname, it doesn't mean that if you don't stand in line, others will easily let you go, but you may also be threatened by others and forced to stand in line.

Once they really stand in line, but in the end they bet on the wrong treasure, then the Su family is very likely to be purged and slaughtered by the ultimate victor like many families who stand on the wrong side in history.

And from ancient times to the present, how many kings with different surnames have a good end?

The eight kings with different surnames given by Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, are the best examples, either dead or disabled, and it is even more common to be raided and exterminated, and none of them have good results.

Therefore, for the sake of future generations, this prince's title pool must not be accepted.

Chi Fei believed that with his father-in-law's shrewdness, he should have guessed his concerns and thoughts, so he agreed to his request to take back his fate.

In Chi Fei's opinion, it is enough for him to be a marquis.

But with the grace of his father-in-law, this should be unlikely.

He will most likely be the same as Li Dingbei and Xiao Zhijian, he will be crowned a duke, and it is likely that he will still be at the level of a national duke.

Although it is also very conspicuous to be named a national prince, it is much better than the unique king with a different surname.

At least there are Li Dingbei and Xiao Zhijian, the two national mansions in front, and he, who does not plan to be an official in the future, is not so conspicuous above the party.

In addition, he will also set up ancestral precepts like the first generation of Zhenguo Gong, so that his children and grandchildren will not stand in line and follow the trend, and maintain their hearts.

Only in this way can the Su family be prevented from being forced into the whirlpool of the battle for succession one day.

Being able to think of this for his grandchildren and future generations, Chi Fei felt that he had done a good job.

Although it is not as exhaustive as the ancestors of the Ning family, it can at least be regarded as a dedication.

If in the future, there is still a stupid descendant of the Su family who insists on participating in the battle for succession, then he has nothing to say, he has done everything he can do, and he can say that he has a clear conscience.

…………………………

The emperor called himself the Son of Heaven and acted on behalf of the heavens, so almost all emperors in all dynasties had the tradition of worshipping the heavens, and the Great Wei was no exception.

The place where the heavens are worshiped is called the Temple of Heaven.

Since the imperial court moved the capital to Jiangnan, Emperor An Zhao ordered Qin Tianjian to choose a place with excellent feng shui in the new capital to build a new Temple of Heaven.

The construction of the Temple of Heaven was even earlier than the construction of the new palace, which shows the esteem of the Temple of Heaven.

The Temple of Heaven is the place where the emperor holds various important ceremonies, and every year Meng Chun prays for the valley, Meng Xia prays for rain, and Meng Dong prays for heaven will be held here.

In addition to the routine sacrifices, this new Temple of Heaven was also used once on the day of the official relocation of the capital, and Emperor Zhao Zhuoan personally went to the altar to pray to heaven and pray for the blessing of Xinjing.

Unfortunately, this prayer seemed to have little effect, and a year later, Xinjing was taken by the Hu army, and even the entire Zhao royal family was almost slaughtered.

I don't know if the Zhao family is exhausted, or if God can't hear Zhao Yan'an's prayers.

But in any case, this Temple of Heaven is still a solemn place for the royal family to hold important ceremonies, and its status has not changed.

Early this morning, in the temple of heaven in the middle of the temple of heaven, there were neatly dressed civil and military officials.

Behind him is a large group of nobles who have no official status, but have knighthoods.

Under the arrangement of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, everyone was arranged in several rows according to the difference of grade and title, and they were in an orderly manner.

Around the main hall, there are also a group of court musicians playing together.

The solemn music echoed throughout the hall.

In front of the main hall, there is a copper tripod and a long case, the copper tripod has been burning firewood, and the case is also placed with rich offerings.

This is the "burning of heaven and earth" in the ritual of sacrificing to the heavens, which means to worship the heavens by burning firewood and offering sacrifices.

Ning Zhiyuan, the general of the Northwest and the minister of the state of supervision of the country, who was wearing armor and a battle helmet, stood in front of the bronze tripod in such a military uniform and recited the prayer to heaven in a loud voice: "Chen Yuan dares to use Xuanmu to announce to the emperor and the emperor, there is one in twenty in the Wei calendar, and there are six in the two hundred and thirty years of practice, and the four seas are poor, and the three platforms are not established......"

The memorial text was written by an official of the Ministry of Rites, and although the language was ornate, it was somewhat obscure. Some people who don't read much don't even understand the meaning of the prayers.

The approximate meaning of this prayer for heaven is: For more than 200 years since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, it finally encountered a catastrophe, the traitorous ministers were in power, and the people were in trouble.

At this time, Hu Lu was in turmoil, the plague was rampant, and the great Wei was ruined.

Except for the two princesses, the Zhao royal family has been cut off from Hu Lu, and the Great Wei Dynasty has actually exhausted its strength and existed in name only.

However, the country cannot be without a king for a day, at this time, there are still wars in the territory of the Great Wei, the people are not happy, and a new monarch is urgently needed to preside over the overall situation.

Under the repeated pleas of the two princesses and hundreds of officials, Chen Ning Zhiyuan finally had to take over as the unification and become the new monarch.

The minister knows that his virtue is insufficient and it is difficult to take on great responsibilities, but in order to ensure the peace of the people in the world, he will do his best and dare not forget.

Look to the heavens and have mercy on you, and protect Daning.

After Ning Zhiyuan finished reciting the sacrificial text, he put the sacrificial text into the copper tripod and burned it, and then bowed to the heavens, which was the heaviest ritual of three kneeling and nine bows.

Everyone who was standing behind them also immediately knelt down and saluted, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

After kneeling and bowing, Ning Zhiyuan got up and stood facing everyone.

Finally, it's the turn of today's event: handing over the seal.

The so-called seal ribbon refers to the heirloom jade seal of the Great Wei Dynasty.

When the Hu people entered the city, this heirloom jade seal naturally fell into the hands of the Hu people.

It was not until the Northwest Army annihilated the Hu army that the jade seal of the country was regained and kept by Dali Temple.

Since all the men of the Zhao family's royal family have died, the transfer of the seal ribbon can only be done by the eldest princess of Qingping, who is a woman but has the highest rank and status.

In the solemn music, the eldest princess of Qingping, dressed in palace clothes, held a tray, on which was the heirloom jade seal that was snatched away by the Hu people before.

After walking in front of Ning Zhiyuan, the eldest princess of Qingping slowly knelt down with a tray in her hand, and then bowed down and said, "Please take the seal from Duke Ning and succeed him as the unification." ”

All the officials and nobles who watched the ceremony also knelt down and shouted in unison: "Please take the seal from Duke Ning and succeed him as the unification." ”

Under these neat calls, Ning Zhiyuan took the jade seal with a solemn expression, and then walked into the inner hall to change clothes.

After half a pillar of incense, Ning Zhiyuan, who had already taken off his armor and changed into a dragon robe, held the jade seal of the heirloom country in his hand, and sat directly on the high dragon chair looking down on everyone.

For a while, everyone, including the two princesses, immediately shouted in unison: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live." ”

"Calm down, please get up." Ning Zhiyuan said in a deep and powerful voice.

Only then did everyone stand up, and then the deacons bent their backs slightly and waited for the new emperor's order.

After the end of the meditation, Ning Zhiyuan issued his first imperial edict: "Now I inherit the emperor's thread and give the country the name Daning."

In the eighth year of He'an, it was changed to the first year of Guangxing, and it was proposed to correct Shuo, change the color, the special emblem, measure the same law, inherit the land, and amnesty the world; From death to death, everything that is not deserved to be forgiven, is forgiven. ”

Whenever the new emperor ascends the throne, it is already a common practice to grant amnesty to the world, and everyone is not surprised. This edict can be regarded as decent.

Next, it's time for the big rewards.

The new emperor Guangxing Emperor first gave Qingping Changgong 5,000 food and Princess Yanfang 4,000. The two princesses retained their titles, and they were not called ministers in the book, and Kyoto had something to do in the Wei Tai Temple.

Feng's eldest son Ning Yabai is Prince Xiao, and his second son Ning Yafeng is Prince Gong. The eldest daughter Ning Yashan is the lord of Shuxian, and the second daughter Ning Yazhi is the lord of Minqing.

Fengguo general Li Dingbei was named the protector of the country, Dingguo general Xiao Zhijian was named the prince of Weiguo, Jiujiang prefect Su Zhen was named the prince of Huiguo, and the three princes each gave a mansion and a bounty of 1,000 taels.

Zhang Wenxuan was named the Marquis of Hui Wen, temporarily acting as the secretary of the ministry.

The rest of the generals in the northwest are rewarded, and all generals with more than 1,000 households can be knighted, and the commander and above are even directly crowned marquis. Then they will be rewarded in turn, and nothing will be missed.

When the officials of the Ministry of Rites read the list of rewards, all the generals in the northwest who were called by name were all excited and ecstatic, and some even couldn't hold back their tears.

What are these generals who lick blood with their knives all day long, and what are they begging for in life and death?

It's just to get ahead and glorify the ancestors.

Now that it's all come true, it's no wonder they're so excited.

Seeing that these subordinates who had accompanied him in the Eastern and Western Wars for many years were so happy, Ning Zhiyuan, who had changed from a general in the northwest to an emperor of Guangxing, couldn't help but be infected and laughed.

After the reward, Ning Zhiyuan immediately threw a bombshell: with Jinling as the accompanying capital, the capital was moved to Jiujing, and it was completed within a year.

What, to move the capital back to the old capital?

This decree immediately stunned most people.

It was not easy for the imperial court to move from the old capital, why did the Ning family move back as soon as they took the throne, isn't it good to be here in Jiangnan?

Many officials and nobles who had begun to get accustomed to the pleasant climate and privileged life in Jiangnan could not help but feel bitter.

At this time, Ning Zhiyuan added lukewarmly: "In this relocation of the capital, except for the incumbent officials who are to be transferred by the imperial court, the rest of the people are all voluntary.

If anyone wants to stay in the capital, I won't be reluctant, and everyone will do as they please.

In addition, for all the people who were willing to follow the army to move the capital, the imperial court would give porridge regularly on the road, and there would be doctors who would treat the sick so that they could reach the old capital safely.

I will post the emperor's list and announce it to the world, and I hope you will see it for yourself. ”

Hearing that voluntary followers were allowed, many nobles immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

After the catastrophe of burning and looting everywhere after the Hu people entered Beijing, many of the nobles of the family who were robbed have inevitably declined.

There was nothing left in the old capital except for an old house, and they really didn't have the extra money and energy to move the capital with the army.

Only some families who are still looking forward to a comeback are interested in accompanying the new emperor to move the capital and find opportunities to revive again in the future.

Ji Fei, who was standing among the ministers, looked at his father-in-law who was sitting on the dragon chair, wearing a dragon robe and a majestic face, and he suddenly felt both familiar and unfamiliar.

This man was both his father-in-law and the founding emperor of the Daning Dynasty.

And he himself is one of the three major princes given by his father-in-law, the Duke of Huiguo.

From the title of "Hui", it is enough to see his father-in-law's favor and expectations for him.

For his father-in-law Ning Zhiyuan, he proclaimed himself Emperor Guangxing, and the word Guangxing was taken from the meaning of recovering the world and recovering the society.

In order to achieve this goal, the father-in-law has a lot more to do.

The first is to drive out the Hu people who have entrenched themselves in the south and southwest, recover the lost land, and recover the interior.

The second was to quell the rebellion in Koto and bring it back under the supervision and control of the imperial court.

Next, the Ning family will gradually implement various new policies across the country, including the most controversial official selection system and the clean society system.

These new policies will certainly be met with resistance, and they will not be possible in just a few years.

It can be seen that there is not a lot of pressure on his father-in-law Ning Zhiyuan.

And Chi Fei, who is his son-in-law and confidant, also has a lot to do.

Not only did he have to assist his father-in-law in reforming the bad government and implementing the New Deal, but he also had to find a way to develop and put the steam engine into use, so that the first industrial revolution would take place in this Han country called Daning.

Although he could not build trains and ships, he believed that with the advent of the steam engine, the power of capital would make it all possible.

If he could, he would also like to create a state-owned banking system.

In this way, all the rich people in the world can be mobilized to hide almost moldy gold and silver in their homes, so that these hard currencies can become the blood of Daning's industrial and commercial development.

He also had to assist the Ning family in vigorously developing maritime trade, expanding the sea area of Han people's activities as much as possible, and making Daning a superpower that could enrich the country and strengthen its army by relying on commerce and sea trade alone.

Chi Fei doesn't know what step he can take, but there is a way to do his best and obey the destiny of heaven. Since you've come here, let's do it well, and do as much as you can.

End of book.

Closing remarks (the text has exceeded 8,000 words, and the following content is not money)

When I typed the words "the whole book is finished", I felt that a stone that was pressing on my heart had finally been released.

As I said in the first chapter, this book is likely to pounce, and it is terrible.

But no matter what, the book is finally finished, and I can be regarded as fulfilling my commitment and dedication to all my book friends and myself.

As the introduction says, this book is the subject that suddenly came to my mind during the Chinese New Year, to write a story about an ordinary person who can write online articles to make a living and develop in ancient times.

Therefore, Chi Fei in my pen is just an ordinary person, an ordinary person who does not know how to make glass and steel, and cannot even make standardized screws, nuts, bearings and other basic industrial parts.

Even the smoothbore gun is the result of a complete copycat.

At least in my opinion, this is the ordinary person who is relatively suitable for logic.

Of course, there is almost nothing cool about writing like this, and this type of subject matter is also overwritten, which is naturally one of the reasons why this book will hit the streets.

Obviously, I'm the kind of third-rate writer who can't make much money by writing essays, so I'm just going to let go of myself completely, generate electricity for love, and only write what I want to write, just like this web record.

This book will be my first and last ancient overhead, and I will return to the urban category that I am good at in the future.

I have two subjects to write about right now, and I'm struggling with which one to write.

One is a female protagonist without CP, and the other is an urban male protagonist. I think both of them are quite interesting, and both are worth writing.

That's all the nonsense, thank you again for the book friends who have subscribed and supported you now, we'll see you in the future, my little brother will definitely continue to write, everyone.
