The Great Pilgrimage

There is no new atmosphere in the court, the older generation of ministers grasp some important positions in the court, and the younger officials are still working hard, waiting for opportunities.

A radish and a pit, there are many bigwigs in the court, some emperors do not let them abdicate, and some people are unwilling to abdicate, so in addition to the prince, the court is sitting in the front except for the prince, all of them are some old men, after Yu Zhiqian ascended the throne, the prince is too small, and the younger prince can't see it, and can only see a group of old men sitting in their places drowsy.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

Shen Wansan's slender voice sounded, and all the ministers got up and stood in four rows, and then respectfully saluted Yu Zhiqian: "Minister, see Your Majesty!" ”

There is no kneeling and bowing in later generations, and although the current emperor and ministers are monarchs and ministers, they are not as sharp as in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

The emperor waved his hand: "It's all exempt!" ”

Yu Zhiqian, who had just finished lunch, held a toothpick in his mouth, looked at the ministers, and sure enough, the two old men who fought in the last court meeting appeared in the court meeting again, I remember the last time, the two people fought in the dark, white hair flew around, after the fight, both of them were lying on the ground, one was covered with blood, and the other breath came and went, and it looked like they were dying soon, but now, both of them were like nothing.

"It's all a group of Oscar-level actors!"

Yu Zhiqian sighed secretly in his heart, looked at the lower head, and signaled that the minister could play.

Soon the household department stood up and began to scold the Ministry of Labor, saying that the Ministry of Industry has spent too much money recently, and the Ministry of Household has no money, by the way, this household department is the former household servant Fan Jian, the last household department secretary because of the conflict between the last court meeting and the military department, the front teeth were knocked out, ashamed, and resigned.

After hearing Fan Jian's accusation, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Yu Yan immediately stood up and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry spent money with your approval, and now the cement road from Chang'an to Jinling, Yanmen Pass, Chengdu, Jinan Mansion and other places is fully constructed, and it costs a lot of money every day, and all the accounts are recorded clearly by the Ministry of Industry, without any concealment, Your Majesty is clear!" ”

"Your Majesty, the construction of the highway this time is the most important part of our five-year development plan!"

"Your Majesty, the minister also knows that the five-year plan is the most important thing in this dynasty, but Your Majesty, the household department is really running out of money!"

"Fan Jian, how can your household department have no money, a few days ago, a large amount of money and grain was transported from Nanyue, how can there be no money!"

“……”

The two sides began to quarrel, and even began to gear up, ready to make a move.

Yu Zhiqian stared at them and waved his hand: "Okay, don't make any noise, the road construction cannot be interrupted, in addition, there is also the railway to start construction!" ”

Hearing Yu Zhiqian's words, Fan Jianli shook his head: "Your Majesty, the household department really has no money, if the railway is laid now, the household department really has no money!" After finishing speaking, Fan Jiandu was about to cry, the emperor really used the household department as an ATM, how much money he wanted?

"The matter of money, don't worry about it for the time being, after two months, there will be a large number of receipts, rest assured!"

After finishing speaking, Yu Zhiqian touched his fingers, according to the plan, Xu Fu, who has now arrived in Japan, should have returned, according to the previous information, a large amount of silver has been harvested, and after this money is credited, the temporary economic crisis should be able to be passed.

However, Yu Zhiqian also began to think about whether he should talk about taking out the banknotes, this question Yu Zhiqian thought about, but he did not dare to implement it, because if the banknotes appeared, if the operation was not good, there might be major events, and if it was not good, there would be a big crisis in the country.

"Okay, there is no need to discuss this matter anymore, this is a basic national policy, within 20 years, all roads must be built, 20 years have not been completed, 30 years, 40 years, 50 years have to be completed!"

After reading it, the following group of ministers saluted Yu Zhiqian, and some didn't understand why Yu Zhiqian was so obsessed with building roads, and he had to spend so much strength!

Yu Zhiqian looked at this group of ministers and knew that they couldn't understand themselves, this was the limitation of the times, and there was no way, but Yu Zhiqian knew that if the roads were not built, the entire empire would be like pieces that could not be linked together.

If an empire is compared to a person, then the territory is the body of this person, and the road and railway are like bloodlines, connecting this body, only when all places are connected to the bloodline, the entire empire giants can walk normally.

Over the years, although the Yutang Empire has been thriving, there are still some hidden dangers, and the control over remote areas is very poor.

To put it mildly, within the scope of the family, the family is a country within a country, but the family is nominally loyal to the country, and there is no tearing the soil to seal the king, Yu Zhiqian can suppress the family, but after suppressing the family, there will still be other classes coming out, even worse than the family, at least the family still has a sense of honor and disgrace, but if it is raised by the landlord class, hehe......

But now Yu Zhiqian is building roads, and within 20 years, all counties will be connected to roads, and all villages will be connected to roads in 30 or 40 years, so that no matter how big the family is, it will be difficult to overthrow the imperial rule, and with the paving of roads, government decrees will be implemented.

There is also one of the most important reasons, if the Yutang Empire is overthrown in the future, those places where roads have been built will become the territory of the new dynasty, and any person of insight will continue to tell the latecomers that it is the land and cannot be given up.

The beginning of the Great Dynasty Meeting was relatively hot, and Yu Zhiqian waited with great interest to see if there was anything more hot in the future.

However, there was nothing that made Yu Zhiqian excited, most of them were some bad things about Chen Sesame and rotten grain, for example, this county marquis had a conflict with another county marquis because of some things, both sides were characters with heads and faces, and they were not convinced by each other, so they made trouble in front of Yu Zhiqian.

Either the imperial history is impeaching a certain minister, just like Yu Zhiqian was impeached by the imperial history back then, so many years have passed, this group of imperial history is still the same old-fashioned, impeaching others, and even can't come up with any substantive evidence, the whole chapter is all some of their own speculation, if it weren't for the fact that the imperial history is an official, Yu Zhiqian wants to throw this group of people out.

About half an hour or so later, the person who should move his body has already moved his body, and the person who should have quarreled has also been argued, the imperial doctor, Jin Wuwei, has already carried the person out, the waiter has added tea three times, and everyone is a little tired, Yu Zhiqian sat up straight: "Chuan, Xu Xia is here!" ”

"Biography, Xu Xia is here!"

“……”

Xu Xiake, who changed into an official uniform, slowly walked into the hall, compared to yesterday, he looked much more energetic, his dark skin and thin body hid huge energy, Yu Zhiqian saw Xu Xiake enter the hall, and immediately stood up from his dragon chair, and then walked down the steps quickly and greeted him.

"Aiqing has worked hard!" Walking to Xu Xiake's side, Yu Zhiqian held Xu Xiake's hand tightly, and there were some tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes.

"Your Majesty, the minister is not bitter!"

Yu Zhiqian pulled Xu Xiake to the position of the head of the ministers, and arranged Xu Xiake in the position where he used to sit when he was still the prince.

Xu Xiake was a little frightened, different positions, representing different identities, the position of the head of the ministers, in the past, only the prince or Di Xiang could sit, Yu Zhiqian forcibly arranged Xu Xiake here, Xu Xiake was flattered, and at the same time was stared at by the surrounding ministers!

The ministers also looked at Yu Zhiqian with a look of surprise, since Yu Zhiqian ascended the throne, no minister has ever enjoyed such treatment, even Di Renjie, Yu Zhiqian did not take the initiative to go to the front of the hall to support.

"Who is this man?"

Many people are very curious about who Xu Xiake is, and many ministers are thinking about it, but there has never been such a person in their memory.

"What is the origin of this Xu Xiake?"

"Is it from the Xu family in Qingzhou?"

"It's not!"

"Which descendant is that?"

The ministers whispered, but no one could guess Xu Xiake's identity, and finally they all looked at Yu Zhiqian curiously, hoping to get the answer they wanted from the mouth of His Majesty the Wise and Martial Emperor.

Yu Zhiqian returned to his position and glanced at the ministers who were in turmoil below: "Ladies and gentlemen, you must be curious, who is Xu Xiake, right?" ”

"Xu Xiake, introduce yourself!"

Xu Xiake stood up from his position and saluted Yu Zhiqian: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love, and your ministers are afraid!" ”

"Don't be afraid, you can afford such courtesy, I thank you for the world!" After finishing speaking, Yu Zhiqian bowed to Xu Xiake, and all the ministers were even more curious about who Xu Xiake was, and why the emperor would give him such a big gift!

"Your Majesty......"

Looking at Xu Xiake's appearance, Yu Zhiqian smiled and said slowly: "Xu Xiake, in the first year of Shunchang, he entered the gate of the East Palace, and was a guest of the prince's door, and in November of the first year of Shunchang, he was ordered by the prince to go north to find a new continent...... Pyeongchang returned in October of the second year, which lasted one year and eight months, found the New World, and brought back hundreds of species from the New World......"

After Yu Zhiqian finished speaking, all the ministers were stunned, not knowing what these meant and why His Majesty was like this.

Di Renjie got up and looked at Xu Xiake and saluted, he was one of the people who knew the inside story, knowing that Yu Zhiqian had been looking for a new world, and knowing that after Xu Xiake found the new world, he immediately understood the significance of this matter.

Seeing that Di Renjie was like this, the ministers still felt a little incredible, Fan Jian looked at Yu Zhiqian and said, "Your Majesty, what is so strange about this new continent and new species?" ”

After Yu Zhiqian heard this, he looked at Xu Xiake: "Xu Aiqin, you have been to the New World, you can talk to you Aiqing about the New World!" ”

"Whoa!"

"The New World is in ......"

Xu Xiake spoke, and Yu Zhiqian shook his head: "Start with Xueyuan!" ”

Although he didn't understand what Yu Zhiqian was going to do, Xu Xiake still nodded: "Huh! ”

"From Liaodong to the north, there is a snowfield for hundreds of miles, it snows all year round, and the snow can drown people, where the twelve hours of the day are daylight, and the minister leads the expedition team to ......"

Xu Xiake said not in a hurry or slowly, Yu Zhiqian also listened carefully, and the surrounding ministers also listened carefully to what the emperor and the prime minister did to enjoy such a high treatment, you must know that this matter will definitely be recorded in history and passed down through the ages, this kind of treatment, everyone wants to have, but it is something that can be met but not sought.

"After crossing the snowfield, walking all the way to the east for about 100 miles, there is a strait, this strait is on the ocean, frozen all the year round, after crossing the strait, you will enter a new continent, after hundreds of miles to the south, you will see fertile land, stretching for thousands of miles, not even human habitation, abundant products, fruits everywhere......"

Hearing Xu Xiake's explanation, everyone was fascinated, they never thought that there was such a big continent outside the world, and they were all stunned.

"I walked all the way for more than two months, and I didn't reach the end of the mainland, but I waited for the company to start running out of supplies, and finally decided to return to ......."

An hour later, Xu Xiake simply said his itinerary, all the ministers listened to it, they all fell silent, Xu Xiake said very easily, as if he was talking about his own travel experience, but everyone could hear the hidden danger behind this, the endless snowfield, crossing the strait, and all kinds of monsters that had never been seen before, etc.

"Your Majesty is done!"

Xu Xiake slowly gave Yu Zhiqian a salute, and Yu Zhiqian wiped the corners of his eyes: "Aiqing has worked hard!" This search for the new continent all the way is no less difficult than learning scriptures from the west, and even more difficult than learning scriptures from the west. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is afraid, share your worries for Your Majesty, and the minister will never give up!"

After finishing speaking, Yu Zhiqian took a deep breath: "Proposed purpose, Xu Xiake's exploits in exploring the New World are world-famous, and Xu Xiake is named the new marquis, and the food ...... Dr. Mitsuroku...... Build Xu Xiake sculpture, set up Wanshi Square, and write a biography! ”

After Yu Zhiqian finished speaking, the ministers reacted that a new marquis was born, but they had never heard of what kind of title this new lord was, but there were 2,000 households in the city, and this treatment had already caught up with the national prince.

"Your Majesty can't, our court stipulates that you can't get a knighthood if you don't have military merits, this case can't be broken, and I ask Your Majesty to withdraw your will and add another reward!" One of the ministers immediately jumped out.

This minister who can't remember the name of Yu Zhiqian is right, according to the rules of the Yutang Empire, you can't get a knight unless you have military merits, so since the founding of the Yutang Empire, there are very few new titles to be crowned, even if it is a county, it is very precious.
