"Senior Sister Xue!" Looking at the two stunning women in front of her, Song Qingyao suddenly let out a soft snort, and there was a trace of excitement in her voice.

There was a girl in red in front of her, with a charming expression, who was it if she wasn't Xue Susu? As for the other woman, she is as indifferent as an immortal, it is Qin Yuzhen!

"Senior Sister Song, I still remember that the last time we met was in Sichuan and Shu! It's been many years! Back then, Senior Sister Song, you were always dressed in men's clothes, heroic and cool, I never imagined that Senior Sister Song would marry a man and have children for others. Xue Susu looked at Song Qingyao, and her eyes were full of surprise.

"Why are you here? Also, I don't know who this girl is? Song Qingyao looked at Qin Yuzhen, and she was quite amazed at Qin Yuzhen's appearance, and said immediately.

"This one is the Tianshan Sect Qin Yu Zhen Qin girl, I don't know if Senior Sister has heard of it?" Xue Susu said.

"Ahh I've admired the name for a long time! Song Qingyao bowed and said.

"Come in, two of you." The folding moon next to him said with a smile.

At that moment, Song Qingyao and Zheyueru invited Xue Susu and Qin Yuzhen in.

Although it was early spring, it was still cold outside, Zheyueru let people serve hot tea, and the four girls sat together and chatted, of course, it was mainly Song Qingyao and Xue Susu who were talking, and Zheyueru and Qin Yuzhen were listening.

"Susu, where have you been all these years? Why is there no news? Song Qingyao took Xue Susu's hand and said.

"I have traveled all over the world in the past few years, and later I met Sister Qin, and we went to many places! In the north, Zhongjing, Shangjing, Huanglongfu, Huiningfu are all over the country, on the grassland, among the countless mountains, we have all been there! Later, when we were in Huining Mansion, we met the emperor, he saved our lives, and then we followed him to Yanjing City! I heard that Senior Sister is here, so we came to find Senior Sister. Xue Susu said with a smile.

"Oh? He also saved your lives, what's going on? Song Qingyao said curiously.

"Well...... We were framed by gangsters, and then he broke in, so you should ask the emperor about this matter in person. Xue Susu's face was slightly red and said.

A hint of red also appeared on Qin Yuzhen's fair face at this moment, and she also remembered what happened that day.

She grew up in the door, and the people in the door were all cultivators, and she also followed the Tao, but she didn't understand why she actually enjoyed the feeling of being with Zhao Chen, and occasionally recalled what happened that day at night, which made her feel very depressed.

"It looks like it's going to be interesting." Song Qingyao looked at Xue Susu, glanced at Qin Yuzhen next to her, and said with a coquettish smile.

"Anyway, we came back with the emperor, what do you say?" Xue Susu said.

"In the palace in the future, our sisters can often chat, or talk about martial arts, or read poetry and paint, do you say okay?" Song Qingyao said.

"That's the best." Xue Susu said with a smile.

They were talking outside, and at this time there were footsteps outside again, this time Zhao Chen came back.

Zhao Chen, Song Qingyao, and Zhiyueru reunited after a long absence, and Zhiyueru had just given birth to her daughter not long ago, so there was no need to say much about the warmth in the room this night.

******

In the early morning of the second day, Zhao Chen gathered the ministers of the Military Aircraft Department to inquire about the situation in various parts of the world in the past six months.

Li Gang, Wang Shu, Hu Quan, Wang Shipeng, Li Chuwen, Li Ruoshui, Qu Duan and others were all here, and Li Gang and others reported the situation in various places to Zhao Chen.

Overall, everything is in order everywhere.

Guanshan, Hanzhong, Sichuan and Shu are the places where Zhao Chen started his business, and now they are becoming more and more prosperous. As for the Central Plains and Yanyun, they have now been completely stabilized, and the economy is also continuing to grow.

"Your Majesty, the biggest problem at the moment is still population! The population of the Central Plains and Yanyun is still too small! Most people are reluctant to leave their hometowns! Li Gang sat next to Zhao Chen's left hand and said.

"Your Majesty, can we forcibly order the people everywhere to relocate." Qu Duan Dao.

"No!" Zhao Chen shook his head.

At the beginning of the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations, there were forced relocation of people, and many people were unwilling to leave their hometowns, so they were beaten and tortured, and they were dragged to other places! As a result, when they arrived in other places, the living conditions were harsh, and many immigrants died!

"Forced migration is a no-no! If the people are unwilling, doing so will only make the people disgusted, and the court should not do such a thing! We are still in the Central Plains, Yanyun around the implementation of all kinds of preferential conditions, tax reduction, national financial support, for a long time, Jiangnan, Sichuan, Shu, Guanshan and other places know the benefits of the Central Plains, Yanyun, will naturally go to these places! That's the safest way to do it! Li Gang also said.

"The teacher said it well!" Zhao Chen nodded.

"Your Majesty, among the officials from all over the country, there is one person who is the most outstanding." Wang Shuyu reports.

"I don't know who it is?" Zhao Chen said.

"It's Lord Qin Hui of Henan! The land of Henan was invaded by the Jurchens, and after that, the Yellow River flooded repeatedly, and there were really ten rooms and nine emptiness! After we recovered Henan, the population of all parts of Henan was only 800,000! And after Lord Qin arrived in Henan, in a short period of time, the population of Henan has increased to four million! Wang Shu said.

"Oh, he's so good?" Zhao Chen was also surprised.

"Yes! From last year to this year, Lord Qin ordered the officials of the entire Henan Road to go to their respective hometowns to recruit people, and Lord Qin himself returned to Jiangnan to recruit people in Jiangnan! They told the people about the policy of the imperial court, how much land each person could share, and the tax exemption for three to five years according to the different family conditions, etc., and he went to visit one family by another, begging the people from all over the country to go to Henan! Lord Qin even took out his belongings from his family, bought ploughing cattle, and gave them to the people! The people had no money to move, and he took out his own money! Now the whole of Jiangnan knows that Lord Qin is recruiting people, as long as he goes to Henan, Lord Qin even asks the army to help build houses. Wang Shu said.

"There is such a thing! He took out his family's money, which is really precious! However, the court can't spend his money in vain, let people write down all the money he spent, and wait until the court has money in the future, and then return it to him, and it will be doubled back to him! Zhao Chen thought for a while and said.

"Your Majesty, he also let his son set up a money village in Jiangnan to raise money from wealthy households in Jiangnan to relocate the people and develop Henan." Wang Shu said.

"This man is really a talent." Zhao Chen nodded and said.

"Your Majesty, Qin Hui is indeed talented, and even the current military aircraft department has no one who can compare to him! It's just that this person is a villain, when he was in the north, he secretly took refuge in the Jurchen, and after returning to Jiangnan, he became the prime minister of Jiangnan by any means, and then under his promotion, Zhao Gocai and the Jurchen united! Later, after His Majesty killed Zhao Gou, this person was even more shameless and immediately bowed down at His Majesty's feet! This person knows that His Majesty likes to work hard and hates empty talk, so he also votes for His Majesty's favor everywhere! The old minister thinks that such villains must not be used, and they must be careful! Li Gang said.

"I employ people only as talents! Now that the country is in tatters, such talents are needed! In this way, we will test him for another half a year, and if a bumper harvest can be achieved in the Henan region this autumn, I will transfer him to the Military Aircraft Department and also serve as Minister of Military Aircraft. Zhao Chen shook his head and said.

"But, Your Majesty, he is a villain after all! Zhuge Kongming once said, 'Pro-virtuous ministers, far villains, this ancestor Han is so prosperous.' Pro-villain, Yuan Xianchen, after that, Han so fell into decline', villains can never be used! Li Gang dissuaded again.

"Although Zhuge Kongming is also a masterpiece of a generation, his governance of the country is still the rule of man! In the era of human rule, it can only be a pro-virtuous minister and a villain! And my Great Song Dynasty will slowly change the rule of man into the rule of law, and the court will use his talents, if he violates the law and discipline, the court will not spare him. Zhao Chen said.

"But ......" Li Gang still wanted to dissuade.

"Needless to say! I think I can control such a villain, does the teacher think so? Zhao Chen said.

Li Gang was stunned and nodded.

"It's February now, and for some time to come, the most important thing in the imperial court is farming, and there must be no mistakes in this matter! The ministers of the DPRK and China will come to Tanaka to help the people! When the farming is done, I will discuss the imperial examination with you. Zhao Chen said.
