In April of the first year of Tianjiao, the grass in the south of the Yangtze River is flying, the spring is sultry, and the spring is so strong that people feel a little dizzy.

Jinling City is full of joy, it is another year of grand ceremonies, after the national strength is strong, the people are rich, they want to find something to do, this grand ceremony is held just right.

The imperial court needed to spend money, the factories needed orders, and the people needed entertainment

Hou Xuanyan stood at the Fengtian Gate of the Forbidden City, and looked down with his ministers, and the grand ceremony was already very lively before it began.

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

Hou Xuanyan's waist and hips were weak and a little sore, thanks to the medicine offered by Wang Fuzhi, he turned into a self-propelled cannon these days, and he was really tired from overwork.

Wang Fuzhi is a little ashamed, these days I always feel that everyone looks at him a little weird, Wang Shangshu keeps hinting to himself, I am for the royal family, a piece of justice and freedom in the hearts of the people

Next to him, the officials of the Ministry of Industry were full of red faces, and Jinling City had completely changed in their hands over the years. There are high-rise buildings everywhere, majestic and majestic, which is very in line with the aesthetics of oriental classics.

Hou Xuanyan nodded frequently, and had a very happy conversation with Gu Yanwu of the Ministry of Rites, and the grand ceremony was about to start, and the royal family members of various countries also came to Jinling or were on the road.

Nowadays, the royal families of various countries like to rent a Chinese passenger ship when they come to China, which is fast, comfortable and luxurious, and very safe.

The increasingly active merchants of the Chinese Dynasty slowly made the entire sea area lively, I don't know who discovered it first, there was a commotion among the people below, and when they looked up, it turned out to be their own emperor.

The people cheered and shouted long live, especially those dressed as Taoist priests.

Hou Xuanyan smiled and signaled to the people, and Chen Chang, the commander of the Jinyi Guard standing next to him, stepped forward and said in his ear: "Your Majesty, that person is Xia Rubi who offered medicine." ”

"Oh?" Hou Xuanyan's eyes lit up and said: "Send the medicine to the medical hall, let them study it, improve it, confirm the safety, and then produce more." The fur seal grows in the far north, out of Liaodong and further north, there is a large piece of land, the territory is no less than our entire Dahua, is the inherent territory of the Central Plains Dynasty. Organize more expedition and catch fur seal squads, increase the bounty, strengthen the connection with the local aborigines, and help them integrate into our Hua Dynasty family as soon as possible. ”

The smile in Chen Changzhi's eyes flashed, he clenched his fists to receive the order, turned around and ordered, there were already subordinates who went to handle this matter.

The people's voices have not stopped, not to mention Hou Xuanyan, even the ministers around him feel honored. There are almost no emperors who have been so sought after by the people since ancient times.

Hou Xuanyan is because of his outstanding achievements in driving out the Tartars, and his own experience is very legendary. More importantly, he led the people to get rich, and after the Dahua Dynasty dominated the sea and opened up maritime commerce, the money earned was almost not squandered, and it was not spent on the luxurious life of the emperor like Spain, but for the benefit of the people.

Through various ways, the people can earn the money of the court, and even better is that in this process, the income of the people has increased with an increase in taxes, and the court has not suffered a loss.

At any time, as long as the people can live well, they will receive the support of the people.

Hou Xuanyan, who was tired for a morning, took two scholars to Wenyuan Pavilion, he was in the prime of life, he was in good spirits, and he did not feel tired along the way. Taking a sip of tea, Hou Xuanyan asked lightly: "Spring is the time when the nomads of the steppe are the weakest, and the war in Dzungaria has also fallen into a stalemate, and a large amount of grain from Jingnan and other places has also arrived in Jinling. ”

The matter of grain is a major matter in Chen Mingyu's heart, and he was a little surprised to hear the emperor take the initiative to inquire, and said after pondering for a while: "Your Majesty, the grain in Nanyang has indeed solved the urgent need, and the road to Dzungaria to transport grain has been almost repaired. ”

Hou Xuanyan was so frightened that he hurriedly put down the teacup and asked, "So fast?" ”

Seeing that the emperor was so concerned, Ma Shiying hurriedly grabbed the conversation and said: "Back to Your Majesty, we will divide the road repair project into thousands of road sections, and the local states and counties that pass through them will bid for their own and be responsible for the road sections under their rule, and many places will work together to construct them, so there is such progress." ”

Hou Xuanyan was very satisfied in his heart, and praised: "This is what you do, use your brains more, there is nothing difficult in the world, only afraid of people with hearts." As long as you use your brain, you can always come up with a way. The two of you have worked hard in this matter, and each of you will be given a reckless robe and a jade belt. ”

Ma Shiying smiled at the corner of his eyes and bowed his head to thank him. The python robe is a kind of emperor's clothing, and a jade belt is worn to wear a python robe. The python robe is similar to the dragon gon dress worn by the emperor, which is not among the official clothes, but the clothes of the eunuchs and important ministers in the Ming Dynasty who have been rewarded by grace. It is considered a great honor to receive such a gift. Dahua continued this tradition, so these two university scholars were the first of the hundred officials, and they were very happy to be given reckless clothes.

The construction of roads in the northwest was originally a very difficult work, but fortunately, now the country is in ruins, and natural disasters in the north are continuous, and the people can do some work, which can be regarded as work for relief. It is far better to let the people eat by building roads than to let them sit and wait for relief, which is true for the court and most of the people.

In the future, these roads will be of great use, because further north of Mobei will be Siberia in the future, and these places will be freezing and can only fight a dozen skirmishes with a few hundred people.

A war with Tsarist Russia, sooner or later, will come, it is estimated that it will be fought in or over Dzungaria, and then these roads will be supply lines, which are very important.

Moreover, only by repairing the roads and strengthening the connection between the interior and the desert can Jingbei truly integrate into the Chinese Dynasty. Ethnic integration does not depend on the shaving of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, nor on the Great Wall, but on the practical facilitation of transportation.

As long as the roads are repaired, so that the people on the grassland and the Han people south of the Great Wall can communicate with each other, they will be under the jurisdiction of Jingbei, abide by the same "Hualu", speak Chinese, read Chinese characters, and learn the history of the Han people, it will be difficult to divide Mobei in the future.

Hou Xuanyan was proud when he thought of this, and saw that the two scholars were immersed in joy, and he didn't mean to compliment himself at all. Hou Xuanyan, who was itching in his heart, didn't catch it, so he had to go out on his own, and chuckled: "Emperor Qin, Han and Wu Dynasty and the Ming Taizu all used the northern expedition to the grassland, won the victory, and slaughtered the Tartars and spread it for centuries. But in my hands, there are nearly 200,000 Mongols, who are persevering for me, attacking and fighting, who has such a feat for thousands of years. ”

Ma Shiying hurriedly said: "This kind of merit is not only unprecedented, but I am afraid that people in the future will not be able to reach it." ”
