Chapter 1170: It's Beautiful
During the Chinese New Year, most of the people in the Ming Dynasty were idle and enjoyed this hard-won holiday, but on the contrary, Emperor Qin Feng, who usually looked quite idle, was busy at this time.
A huge country, especially the imperial city, naturally it is impossible for everyone to have a holiday, for example, the fire death camp, they have no holiday, this time period, but more nervous, the horse monkey stays in the barracks with wide eyes every day, ready to deal with possible accidents.
The eagle's nest can't rest up and down. In particular, Tian Zhen of the Domestic Division, like the horse monkey, stayed in the headquarters of the Eagle's Nest all day long, dispatching countless agents and spies to shuttle through the streets full of tourists, monitoring some people who looked suspicious to them.
The officials and patrols of Yuejing Mansion City could not rest, so they could only take shifts, because often at this time, it was also the most prone time for accidents in Yuejing City, and there were too many people.
Among the major ministries, most of the yamen are also closed and sealed, but because the soldiers are being used, the military department is still open, and Shangshu kitten is in charge, although some non-key departments are nominally on vacation, but at this time, everyone wants to show their faces in front of Shangshu, so that Shangshu knows how loyal they are and work diligently, so they also spontaneously gathered in the military department and worked as usual.
As the emperor, he naturally went to condolence at this time to express his condolences to these role models who were still working hard during the Chinese New Year, not only Qin Feng, but even the queen also went out in person.
When the emperor and queen go out, the big people in the political hall naturally can't stay at home and enjoy the joy of family, so they have to go to condolences together. Prepare some food and small gifts for everyone that are not valuable, but can reflect the emperor's caring heart, after accepting the three calls of these condolences and being grateful, Qin Feng said a few words of grandiose words, and then rushed to the next house.
After a few days, Qin Feng was a little more tired than usual.
Not only in the city, but also outside the city.
The political hall has already selected one or two villages, some are very rich, some are poorer, in short, at this time, let the emperor's glory shine in every corner of the Ming Dynasty.
In Quan Yun's words, this time is the best opportunity for the emperor to win people's hearts, although the emperor only went to so many villages, but as soon as it spreads ten, ten spreads hundred, everyone will know how much the emperor loves the people.
Qin Feng is reluctant to these ways, in his opinion, if he can make everyone well-fed and clothed, and live a better life day by day, then they will naturally support themselves, if they can't even eat, then no matter how many villages they run, no matter how they show their pro-people demeanor, when the people should rebel, they will still rebel.
However, these words are just Qin Feng thinking in his heart, Shoufu Quan Yun took the trouble to the boss and gave himself a chance to be great, if he refused, he would inevitably not give Shoufu face. So even if I pinched my nose, I still followed them from place to place.
In the New Year, everyone else is enjoying family fun at home, they are good, except for the Chinese New Year's Eve, after the family gets together for a meal, they run around, always busy until the middle of the night before returning to the palace, at that time, Xiaowen Xiaowu has long fallen asleep, Qin Feng can only look at them a few times on the side, pinch their noses, and kiss their faces. It was a pleasure to watch the two little ones frowning and humming in their sleep, or waving their arms and kicking their calves to prick their hands and feet.
Today, on the third day of the new year, there are still several days left for the imperial court seal, but Qin Feng can't stay in Yuejing City for a few days, and the next time, he will go straight to the front line of Yongdu to comfort the nearly 100,000 soldiers besieging Yongdu there. The bigwigs in the political hall all thought very clearly, most of the troops besieging Yongdu were the Tiger Prison New Army and the Qingzhou Army, which really belonged to the old camp of the Ming Dynasty, but there were not a few battle camps, and at this time the emperor needed to come forward to make them feel at ease, of course, there must be rich rewards.
Qin Feng went this time, although he was a light car, but in the Tiger Prison, he had already prepared a large amount of money, which was ready to be distributed to the soldiers as a reward when the emperor inspected it, so as to reward them for still fighting for the country during the Spring Festival.
This morning, he finished running the nearest village to Yuejing City, and with half a day left, Qin Feng can finally rest a little, and early tomorrow morning, he will be on the road again, galloping in the ice and snow.
At this time, he especially wanted to use the railway to connect Yuejing City and Yongdu as soon as possible, if this was the case, he could lie comfortably in the warm carriage, while roasting the fire, drinking tea, and arrived at the destination leisurely.
Of course, this idea will not be possible in the last two years, and now the Railway Department is concentrating all its efforts on the construction of this major artery from Yuejing, Zhengyang, Shayang, Yiyang, Wuling, Taoyuan to Zhaoguan.
The Qin State is about to surrender to the feet of the Ming Dynasty, and it is completely unreasonable to build such a railway now on top of the military, after all, the current railway requires great expenses to build and maintain, in short, the railway that has been built is still in a state of loss, it is conceivable that after the construction of this artery, the temporary loss is certain. The main purpose of the construction of this railway was also military.
In the foreseeable future, there will be a great war between Ming and Qin, in order to determine who is the master of this world, and the existence of such a major artery will greatly ensure that the Ming Dynasty has a great advantage over Qi in terms of troop mobilization and material allocation.
Everything that the current Da Ming has done, in the final analysis, is still preparing for this big war in the future.
Therefore, not only now, but even for a long time in the future, if Qin Feng wants to go to Yongdu, he can still only ride on a horse and drink the wind and eat the soil.
I don't know when Qin Feng has been particularly fond of standing at the highest point of the imperial city, condescendingly looking down on the entire Yuejing City, although the part he can see is limited, but this part represents the most prosperous part of the Yuejing City.
In this area, a large number of shops are concentrated, selling almost all the items that can be produced in the Ming Dynasty, people who are usually busy with work, at this time they finally have time to take their families out to play, of course, it is also the best time for shopping.
It's a carnival for merchants. In such a short vacation, the sales volume is worth the usual one or two months of hard work. Every merchant will not give up this wonderful time, and every household will do their best to make their shop more distinctive and attractive.
Restaurants and restaurants are naturally overcrowded, and people who want to eat and drink, if they don't book in advance, then they can only line up honestly outside, waiting for the vacant seats inside.
A high-grade restaurant, or a civilian small restaurant, is as good as it. Even those street food that dragged a cart in a slightly more spacious place, and then put a few small tables and chairs in a humble way, were also crowded with people.
In this large area, the only quiet place is the Imperial City, the road around the Imperial City, after being completely hardened with cement, and then painted with yellow paint, is this invisible boundary, the lively and quiet are completely separated, even if there are more people outside, no one crosses this yellow road. Even though there are not many guards guarding this yellow road, there are occasional patrols walking through the yellow road in a neat line.
"It's beautiful!" Qin style can't help but say, the beauty is not the natural scenery, but the scene of this prosperous era. The beauty is the satisfied smile of everyone, and the beauty is the reunion of the family with their children.
"I know you're standing here, why are you still boasting about yourself?" There was a faint fragrance from his nose, and he couldn't help but look back, Qin Feng knew that it was Min Ruoxi who came to his side, and he was too familiar with that body fragrance.
"I'm not boasting, I'm praising there!" Qin Feng smiled and pointed to the lively place in the distance. Xi'er, isn't it beautiful!"
"And you say you're not boasting? Isn't that boasting about your achievements?" Min Ruoxi laughed, "But ah, these compliments would be more enjoyable if they were said by others."
"Others have said enough, my ears are calloused, I don't feel anything, today standing here and looking at it, I really feel amazing, I can do this, I am really proud!" Qin Feng held his head high and said. It's not interesting to boast about yourself in front of others, but it's really beautiful to be able to boast in front of you! Wife, you really had a vision, why did you choose me all of a sudden!"
Min Ruoxi laughed out loud and reached out to hold Qin Feng's arm: "Say you're fat, you're really panting. Yuejing City is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, where the essence of the Ming Dynasty is concentrated, what you see, of course, is the most beautiful side, when the territory of the Ming Dynasty, are this prosperous scene, you come to me again to boast!"
"It's difficult, but I'm still very confident." Qin Feng said proudly. Although the Qi State is strong, it is already an old body, and although the Ming Dynasty is young, it is getting stronger and stronger day by day."
"They're taking tonics!" Min Ruoxi said.
"I'm afraid I'll overdo it and blow them up." Qin Feng smirked, "I gave them some medicine, but I don't know what the effect is!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, but they tacitly did not mention the state of Chu.
The two stood side by side, Qin Feng reached out to hold his wife's shoulder, and Min Ruoxi leaned his head in the crook of Qin Feng's arm.
"Do you want to sneak out and be a normal person?" Qin Feng suddenly whispered. There's a lot of good food out there, there's a lot of fun."
"Do you have any money in your pocket?" Min Ruoxi looked at him with a smile and asked. There's a lot of fun and good food out there, but you have to pay for it."
Qin Feng was stunned, the days when he carried money on his body seemed to be far, far away from him, so long that he couldn't remember the last time he still had money in his pocket seven years ago or eight years ago.
Min Ruoxi smiled and took out a stack of banknotes from his arms and swayed them in front of Qin Feng's eyes.
"Okay, it turns out that you have premeditated!" Qin Feng shouted.
