Chapter 58 asks the people
Concubine Xiao Shu was ashamed, her pretty face turned red, and she muttered a few words to the queen, showing embarrassment. How could he have thought that the queen would let Lin Feng divert his attention to herself so quickly.
Lin Feng also smiled, very proud, and said: "How can it be, I remember Linlang, you are all my women, no matter when, you don't intrigue, respect and love each other, I won't favor one over the other." ”
Concubine Xiao Shu smiled coolly, nodded at Lin Feng and said, "Concubine Xie Xianggong is very loving." He glanced at Lin Feng and Concubine Su and said, "Sister Su, today you testify that no matter how you treated me before, the grievances between us have been written off." ”
Concubine Xiao Shu is a bold person, she will not hold grudges, she was reminded by the queen before, this will be explained by Lin Feng, so she took the initiative to apologize to Concubine Su.
"If you don't get angry with me, why should I trouble you, you also call me sister, so I won't bother with you." Su Guifei poked out half of her head from Lin Feng's arms, with a slight smile in front of her.
Lin Feng dismounted, hugged Concubine Su again, handed the reins to the guards at the palace gate, and said, "Okay, don't talk too much, let's go, today the prime minister will take the three ladies to take a look around." ”
The imperial capital of Yan lasted for nearly a thousand years, once gorgeous and rich, famous, it was an important stop connecting the north and south trade routes, however, over the years, the national strength of Yan has decreased sharply, the degree of prosperity is better than before, the business travel between the north and the south has decreased, the economy of Yan is very depressed, the newly built mansions, mansions are very rare, and there is a little less vitality.
However, no matter what outsiders think, Lin Feng likes it very much, after all, as a modern person, being able to be in the ancient royal capital in person, there are many things that make him feel happy and strange, and he has the right to take a day trip.
Six iron guards, stretching out their black power suits, with seven-foot knives around their waists and hips, led the way on both sides, protecting Lin Feng and the four of them. A line of laughter and majesty.
Compared with a few months ago, approaching the end of the year, and there are various policy incentives, the flow of people on the street has increased a lot, that is, the cold winter wax moon day, there are snowflakes floating in the sky, many hawkers, on both sides of the street with their own products, vegetables, cloth, and fragmentary handicrafts, the stall is not big, but the variety is very varied, shouting, shouting, people come and go, lively very.
Lin Yan was very pleased with this situation, agriculture is the foundation of the country, and it is related to the livelihood of tens of millions of Yan people. However, the development of commerce and handicrafts is an important supplement to the agricultural economy, and the development of agriculture, especially the promotion of cash crops, provides raw materials for the development of handicrafts. The improvement of agricultural and handicraft production techniques and the trend towards the commercialization of products laid the foundation for the development of commerce, which in turn stimulated the development of agriculture and handicrafts.
Only when the three complement each other can the country become rich and the people strong, and realize their own idea of strengthening the country, strengthening the army, and enriching the people.
Moreover, the people have a sense of business, which may now be crops, cloth, or simple handicrafts, but once there is a primitive accumulation of capital, the productive forces will certainly be expanded, and there will be more fancy and useful things in circulation.
Recently, Lin Feng has studied the policies of the Song State, and the whole country has vigorously developed commerce, almost all the industries that make money on the mainland have a place in the Song State, with sufficient money and food, the army of the Song State is also developing rapidly, although it is unknown, but the combat effectiveness is by no means covered, this point, Lin Feng admires the Emperor of the Song State very much.
"Childe, Lord Yu's policy seems to be slowly taking effect, and the imperial capital seems to be much more prosperous than before." In the past, An Heng often accompanied Lin Feng out of the palace to play, witnessed the ruin of Yanjing, and was encircled in the palace in recent months, and was fortunate to travel today, but also found that on both sides of the street, the number of merchants has increased a lot, and there are many more pedestrians on the street. It can't be described as mushrooms after a rain, but it is also extremely lively.
With a smile in the corner of his eyes, Lin Feng nodded and said, "Lao Yu does have two brushes, and it's right that the Financial Secretary handed him over." Lin Feng and Yu Zheming discussed the big policy, however, about the tax, how to collect it, how much to collect, the two did not talk in detail, it's just that the streets are surprisingly lively today, and the taxes of merchants who come here will not be too high, otherwise, no one will be willing to do business, and among the vendors on both sides of the street, there are many farmers who are obviously bankrupt or landless.
Lin Feng also knew that these small farmers were weak and could not support the economy of Yanguo, but the current lively scene on the streets, although it could not resolve the immediate urgency, was also a good sign, indicating that Yu Zheming's measures had an effect. Otherwise, Yanguo's economy will continue to be depressed, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.
In addition, the changes that have taken place so far are only when the city is under construction, and once the city is completed, it will surely become more lively. Once the Luoma City has achieved results, the Luoma City across the country will probably attract more businessmen, and in the face of huge interests, the merchants of the princes and countries will not let go of their interests and not chase them, and at that time, the commercial atmosphere of the Yan Kingdom will probably become more and more intense.
"Childe, where are you going today?" In the past, when Lin Feng traveled, he would always go to Xiaoyue to listen to music, but this time when he came out, Lin Feng didn't go directly, and An Heng didn't dare to shout, the emperor's temperament has changed, and he didn't care about his previous mistakes, which is already lucky. Now even if he eats the bear's heart and leopard gall, he doesn't dare to instigate the emperor to listen to the music.
It's just that the emperor suddenly came interested in leaving the palace, and there must be a place he wants to go, so he can find out in advance and arrange it himself.
"Let's go around first, and when you have time to listen to the music, you can arrange it." Lin Feng said lightly, and then beckoned to the guards next to him: "Yuan Ye, go find twenty big businessmen from all walks of life, Mu Yan, you go to find some small traders, Yang Hu, Xiang Juyuan will set five restaurants and dishes, as for the others, follow the three ladies to walk around, remember to protect their safety." ”
"Yes, Childe." The three dispersed.
The three queens were stunned, how could they have thought that Lin Feng had a purpose when he left the palace, Concubine Xiao Shufei held her pink fist and said coolly: "Outside the palace is not as good as inside the palace, there may be any danger, Xianggong, you bring a guard, the concubine will protect Sister Xue'er and Sister Qing'er." ”
It's no secret that Concubine Xiao Shu has kung fu, but Lin Feng still waved his hand and refused: "Listen to me, otherwise, I won't take you out of the palace in the future." ”
Spit out her fragrant tongue, Concubine Xiao Shu stepped forward and took the initiative to kiss Lin Feng's forehead, and said, "Well, listen to you this time, Xianggong, you be careful." ”
"Wow, wow, Linlang, how can you, kiss each other? I want it too. Seeing that Concubine Xiao Shu took the initiative to offer a kiss, Concubine Su stomped her foot angrily, lifted Concubine Xiao Shufei, and simply kissed Lin Feng on the lips, looking very enjoyable.
At this moment, Concubine Xiao Shu's face was red, how could she have expected that Concubine Su would be so careless, kiss it, and shout loudly, feeling shy in her heart, and she didn't have time to worry about her.
After kissing Concubine Su, Lin Feng spread out his arms, looked at the queen, and said with a smile: "Xue'er, aren't you going to do something?"
Queen Jingyi smiled lightly, stepped forward, her eyes turned white at Lin Feng, and she said angrily: "Xianggong, I'm afraid of you." After finishing speaking, the dragonfly kissed the corner of Lin Feng's mouth like water, and said with a smile: "Xianggong, pay attention to safety, the concubine is gone." ”
Lin Feng touched the corners of his mouth, with a little smile, patted his strong suit, and watched a few people leave, and then walked towards Xiangjuyuan.
Suddenly looking for a businessman, the vendor will have a meal, it is definitely not Lin Feng's righteous move. If you want to govern the country and develop the economy, you must have first-hand information. Maybe Yu Zheming's policy is correct, whether it can adapt to the people, whether there are any deficiencies or areas that need to be adjusted, the officials do not count, and the people will definitely have a more accurate understanding as they participate.
Perhaps, he can't fully grasp the first-hand information, but he understands that water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn a boat, and the country's plan is people-oriented.
In addition, these merchants and hawkers are all the people of Yan Kingdom, and they don't care about the coercion and intimidation of the Eight Great Gates, the most important thing is that Lin Feng wants these people to set an example, once it is profitable, the Eight Great Lords will definitely not sit idly by, unless they have a grudge against money.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng clenched his fists and couldn't help but cheer for himself.
Xiang Juyuan is a high-class restaurant in Yanjing, the people who come in and out are either rich or expensive, the dishes are exquisite and delicious, Lin Feng's predecessor used to have two hobbies, go to Liuxiangju to listen to Xiaoyue girl's singing, and come to Xiang Juyuan to eat. At this time, Lin Feng couldn't think of Yanjing and that restaurant was more famous, so he simply went to Hunan Juyuan.
The shopkeeper saw a guest coming in at the door, put the rag in his hand on his shoulder, hurriedly stepped forward, saw Lin Feng, saw that it was a regular customer, and said, "Master Lin, please inside, is the third child the same?" "In the past, Lin Feng came to Hunan to gather fate, lion's head, crispy chicken, and hand-grabbed mutton were the three dishes he must order, so the shopkeeper was very familiar with it, besides, Lin Feng was generous, and he would often reward him with some broken silver.
While walking towards the restaurant, Lin Feng said: "No need, there is something to do today, someone has already helped me with some pastries, just bring some pastries for me." ”
Without thinking about it, Lin Feng went directly to the third floor, this is the place where Xiang Juyuan entertains distinguished guests, the place is relatively large, and at the same time, it is relatively quiet, which is very suitable for discussing things.
At this time, Yang Hu, who had already ordered the meal, was arranging it, and when he saw Lin Feng coming up, he stepped forward and said respectfully: "Son, I have already taken the third floor, and no one will dare to disturb me." ”
"Hmm!" Lin Feng glanced around and nodded with satisfaction. Soon, the shopkeeper brought three plates of pastries and put them on the table, looking good. Lin Feng vaguely remembered, the three pastries were called mint cake, jade steamed cake, rose pear parfait, picked up a piece of rose pear parfait, put it in the mouth, the gold and silver sweet little pearl sugar exuded a charming fruity fragrance! The rose-shaped fragrant pear is very delicately carved. Take a bite and the cream filling in the pastry "Wow!" The melt is full of frozen pears and roses, which is very refreshing and delicious. "It tastes good, Yang Hu, you can taste it too, you're welcome."
Since he was a child, he was permeated with hierarchical thinking similar to the Three Platforms and Five Constants, how dare Yang Hu be presumptuous, even if Lin Feng took the initiative and told him not to be polite, Yang Hu was still indifferent, and said pertinently: "Childe, you eat, you don't have to care about your subordinates." ”
