The window of the carriage was pushed open, and a hand gently lifted the curtains, and a beautiful face appeared in the window, looking at the majestic walls of the capital city that were gradually moving away.

It's finally time to leave.

Thinking of the red and swollen eyes of the queen mother who were crying inside the palace gate, and reluctantly holding her hand and earnestly making instructions, Min Ruoxi only felt that her nose was sore, her eyes were hot, and her tears were almost about to burst out.

"!" Ying Gu stretched out her hand and gently pressed Min Ruoxi's hand, but with the other hand, she lowered the curtain and closed the window. "The Queen Mother, her old man's health is very good, and there will be a goodbye day."

Min Ruoxi closed her eyes, and tears finally burst out of her eyes. "At the time of today's separation, the queen mother has been thinking about Xiaowen Xiaowu, asking me to find a suitable time to take them back to Shangjing to see her, I am only afraid that when we really come to Shangjing, her old man will never want to see us again."

Ying Gu couldn't help but be silent for a while, Xiao Wu, as the only prince of the Ming Empire now, basically couldn't come to Shangjing. If it really comes, it will only be a situation, and the army of the Ming Dynasty has already occupied Shangjing.

As the queen mother of Chu, at that time, was she really willing to see her grandson who she was still missing?

Aunt Ying didn't know how to comfort Min Ruoxi. Min Ruoxi's biggest purpose in returning to her hometown where she was born and raised this time was to push the Chu State deeper into the abyss, and she knew that Min Ruoxi's current mood was not easy. Perhaps, at this time, it is better not to say anything.

When I came, I took the water route, and when I went back, I took the land route, and the team will go all the way north, and finally pass through Xinning County, and enter Izumo County in the territory of Daming, where Yu Chao's wind chasing camp is waiting for the queen's car.

With Min Ruoxi's convoy returned with a huge silver transport vehicle of Changlong Bank, tens of millions of taels of silver collected from Shangjing, except for a part of the silver left as a treasury silver, the rest, all of which were melted into a huge silver ingot, and their final destination would be the Ming treasury, which existed as a reserve currency. They will no longer be circulating in the market, and they will be replaced by banknotes issued by the Ming Dynasty.

A currency war waged by the Ming Dynasty against the Chu State also kicked off. It's a pity that in the state of Chu, no one has yet realized the great power behind this war, and they didn't even think that this was a war. In the eyes of the Chu State, the victory of this war was comparable to the siege of a city and the seizure of land by an army of 100,000.

It's just that the surface of this currency war has been covered with a veil of warmth and affection, disguising his vicious nature as a good person, a good person. In the smile and humility, little by little, his predatory nature is revealed.

What the State of Qi carried out against the State of Chu was a naked plundering by force, and everywhere it passed, rivers of blood flowed like rivers and thousands of miles of red land. Wherever the Ming power goes, it seems that it will drive economic development, the prosperity of the market, and the living standards of the people have been further improved, injecting a stabilizer into the now dying Chu State, but this is based on the power of the Ming people. When the Ming people have malicious intentions, they can make the local people miserable in a very short time.

The plundering of the latter is much more clever than the former, and what the Ming people are now competing with the Qi people is the heart of the Chu people. When that day really came, the state of Chu was able to win the support of the vast majority of the Chu people without bloodshed. Thus completing another form of annexation.

When Min Ruoxi set off from Shangjing to return to Daming, Qin Feng also got on the rail car from Fengxian, and after the first seven days for Wang Hou, he began his journey back to Beijing.

And in Feng County, Qin Feng saw Qianmian who had just arrived here non-stop.

For more than a year, Qianmian has been in charge of the affairs of the Qin State, and he has hardly returned to the Ming Dynasty, only showing his existence through information one by one. Qin Feng hadn't seen this former partner for almost a year.

"Good work, brother!" In the comfortable carriage, Qin Feng patted the little brother's shoulder affectionately, "I haven't seen you for almost a year, but I have grown stronger." ”

Qianmian smiled from ear to ear, "Your Majesty, this year, I miss you to death, and there are so many good brothers, I can't talk about hard work or anything, but I am happy and tight." ”

Qin Feng laughed, "How do you feel when you come back this time?" ”

"Your Majesty, this feeling is deep. The biggest impression on me is the change. Our Daming, it seems that day by day is changing faster, this trip from Yongping County all the way, many places are obviously familiar to themselves, but when they say goodbye, they are almost unrecognizable. With each passing day, you can see the thriving scene of my Ming Dynasty everywhere, compared with the Qin State, it is a heaven and an underground. ”

"Let's not talk about Qin Guo first, how about this rail car?" Qin Feng patted the car window.

"Comfortable." Qianmian grinned and said: "When I arrived in Shayang County, I was still ready to gallop to Feng County, but I didn't want to have this rail car, ah, yes, I put myself flat and prepared to sleep, and before I woke up, I had already arrived in Feng County." It's a lot more comfortable than riding on a horse. ”

"You guy, you really didn't get to the point." Qin Feng smiled and said: "The operation of the rail car, not for comfort, but for the capacity, the rail car we are sitting on today can carry thousands of soldiers and the weapons and equipment they need and logistics food at one time, and in the past, we have to transport so many things from Shayang County to Feng County, how long does it take, and how many people, mules and horses need to be mobilized?" How much does it need to be lost in the process? But now, none of that will happen. ”

Qianmian nodded again and again, "Your Majesty is right, but it's too short, if this rail car can be repaired all the way to Zhaoguan, it will be wonderful." One day, we will start a war with the Qi people, and this rail car will continue to allow us to send supplies and soldiers to the front line, and we will be able to form a crushing trend for the Qi people in a short time. ”

"One more point!" The kitten next to him smiled and said: "Pingsu, we don't need to maintain too many troops in Zhaoguan, too many troops are stationed at the border, so we need more consumption, more money and food, with this rail car, we can save this cost, and Qi State, can they do it?" They had to maintain a large number of troops on the front line. ”

"When will this road be built?" Thousands of faces and eyes shine.

"Money, it's bad money now!" Qin Feng said with a smile: "This one from Shayang to Feng County, but more than 100 miles, it cost millions of taels of silver, this is not counting the ordinary maintenance, maintenance costs, from Feng County to Zhaoguan, this is across the three counties, that is, the straight-line distance, but also more than 500 miles, if you really want to repair it, I am afraid that it will be thousands of miles long." ”

"It's not about tens of millions of taels of silver." Thousand Faces' eyes widened.

"I'm afraid it's more than that!" Kitten said: "A route, a variety of different geological conditions, rivers, mountains, etc., will make the cost increase exponentially." ”

Qianmian was suddenly deflated, "Doesn't this mean that we don't have the money to repair at all?" Is there a joy in this emptiness? ”

"It's not empty joy, it's definitely to be cultivated. A thousand faces, that's not how the account is counted. Qin Feng spread his hands: "It seems that it does cost tens of millions of taels of silver, but it is not a one-time take, it always takes several years to build such a road." And such a road, in the construction of a large number of manpower, material resources, and for Yiyang, Wuling, Taoyuan these three counties, such a project, can also play a role in driving the local economy, a large number of trade unions to let the local people earn more money, a large number of various materials procurement will make the three counties prosperous. Therefore, this road is not only a money-consuming project, but also a big project that can create jobs and income for the local people, and what will happen if the people earn money, of course, they will spend it, and the money will flow in the market, and the state will be able to receive taxes from these flows, which is to put money from the left pocket to the right pocket! ”

"I'm afraid that in this process, more will be spent." A thousand faces.

"That's right." Qin Feng laughed: "But who is the one who made the money?" It's my people of the Ming Dynasty, they are rich, it's not a good thing for me to be Ming, it doesn't matter if the country owes money, as long as we have the ability to make money, maintain the strength of the country, and have the ability to repay the money, then what are you afraid of every year? ”

The kitten coughed lightly: "Qianmian, this is the stuff in the book on money written by Su Can, haven't you read it?" ”

"Your Majesty gave me a copy, but I really don't have time to read it." Thousand Faces smiled sheepishly. Su Can's book on money was not published publicly, and in the Ming Dynasty, he even belonged to the banned books, but after a small amount was printed, it was provided to the officials of the Ming Dynasty to study. Qin Feng didn't want too many people to have a clear understanding of some of the targeted policies of the Ming Dynasty after reading this money theory. There is no shortage of smart people in this world, and some things always have to be hidden for a while.

"I used to hear people say that the country is rich and the people are strong, and the wealth of the country is always in the head, but now the treasury of the Ming Dynasty is often empty, Su Kairong said this, he had a bitter face, and often laughed at himself for owing a lot of money, but my Ming Dynasty looks better and better, which does make me a little confused, and I have time to look back, I have to read this money theory carefully!" A thousand faces.

"The wealth of the country does not have to be the wealth of the imperial court!" Qin Feng laughed, "The common people are rich, and this is also the wealth of the country." But speaking of which, there are still too many poor places in our Ming Dynasty. Like Kaiping County, which has not recovered yet, the four counties in the north, food and clothing are still a problem, not to mention the newly recovered Yiyang, Wuling, and Taoyuan counties. ”

"Led by His Majesty, the country is rich and the people are strong, and it is just around the corner!" A thousand faces are genuinely authentic.
