Zhang Fenglang said: "Come in!" ”

"Hee-hee. "www.biquge.info Princess Kunxing pushed the door in with a smile, still holding a plate of watermelon in her hand, and said after coming in: "Brother Feng, you are tired, eat some watermelon." ”

On formal occasions, Princess Kunxing would call Zhang Feng "Your Majesty" or "Long live", and on private occasions, Zhang Feng was also happy to call herself "Brother Feng" by the third daughter.

Zhang Feng smiled and said: "Those who know me, Ru'er also!" ”

Zhang Feng is indeed a little tired, it can be said that he has been on the throne for more than three months, and he has been busy every day, and today he is busy again, he is really a little tired, eat a little watermelon, just right.

It's already the end of August, and it won't be long before you can eat watermelon, Zhang Feng picked up a piece, ate it, and said while eating: "Well, this watermelon is really sweet, where is the tribute." ”

Princess Kunxing said: "This watermelon can be far away, and it can be eaten from Shanxi." ”

Zhang Feng said: "Tell me to go down, and pay less tribute in the future, and it will cost the people and money." ”

"Yes." Princess Kunxing said: "Brother Feng, it is really a blessing for all the people to have such a good emperor like you who is sympathetic to the people. ”

Zhang Feng smiled and said, "Don't pat me on the back, let's say, what's the matter?" ”

The two are already husband and wife, and they know each other better and better, Zhang Feng knows that Princess Kunxing is very attentive, and there must be something to ask for herself.

Princess Kunxing hugged Zhang Feng's arm and said coquettishly: "Brother Feng, I haven't been out of the palace for a long time, you can accompany me out of the palace to have a fun, okay." ”

Zhang Feng smiled and said: "Don't think I know, the day before yesterday, you quietly left the palace, walked around outside, and didn't come back until the evening." ”

was exposed, Princess Kunxing stuck out her tongue cutely, made a grimace at Zhang Feng, and continued to coquettishly say: "Brother Feng, I'm out of the palace alone, it's not interesting, I want to go out with you, okay." ”

To tell the truth, after Zhang Feng ascended the throne, it has been more than three months, and he rarely leaves the palace, thinking in his heart, maybe it is okay to go out of the palace to relax and relax, and combine work and rest.

Zhang Feng thought for a while and said, "Okay, we'll leave the palace tomorrow, but well, keep a low profile and go out quietly." ”

"Brother Feng, you're so good." Princess Kunxing was overjoyed and said happily: "Oh, out of the palace, I will leave the palace tomorrow." ”

Zhang Feng patted Princess Kunxing and scolded with a smile: "You are yelling like this, wait for everyone to know, and you are still a low-key fart." ”

Princess Kunxing stuck out her tongue cutely, and then whispered in Zhang Feng's ear: "Brother Feng, I'll sleep with you tonight." ”

After speaking, Princess Kunxing happily jumped out of the imperial study, Zhang Feng couldn't help but smile slightly, thinking in his heart, this little girl is getting more and more naughty, it seems that she needs to train well tonight.

The next day.

Zhang Feng and Princess Kunxing, only brought two guards, quietly out of the palace, Zhang Feng dressed as the son of a big family, Princess Kunxing was dressed as a rich young grandmother, Princess Kunxing was only fifteen years old, this young grandmother is young enough.

Fortunately, there are many families at the age of fourteen or fifteen in this era, which does not seem too special. As for the two guards, of course, they were dressed as entourages.

Out of the palace, Zhang Feng's heart was light, his heart was relaxed for a while, seeing the crowds coming and going on the street, Zhang Feng felt good, compared to the palace, it was a completely different feeling.

Zhang Feng held Princess Kunxing's little hand, the two looked like a loving little couple, Zhang Feng said: "Ru'er, where are we going, you are a staff officer." ”

Princess Kunxing said: "Brother Feng, let's go have a snack first, I know there is a street where there are many delicious snacks." ”

"Oh, and places like this." Zhang Feng thought in his heart, this is not to say that there is a bit similar to the snack street of later generations.

After these few months, the city of Beijing has become completely prosperous, bustling, and the prices are stable, especially the price of grain has fallen, from the amount of silver per stone of grain during the war period to less than two taels of silver now.

A large amount of grain was transported from North Korea or Luzon to the port of Tianjin, and then to the entire Beijing-Tianjin area by steam-powered sea vessels, and the decline in grain prices led to price stability.

Seeing the bustling streets, Zhang Feng felt that it was worth being tired.

Like a young couple, the two walked and wandered unhurriedly, and even bought several things, and soon after, they also arrived at the snack street.

Zhang Feng saw that there were a lot of snacks here, and Zhang Feng also came to be interested, and tasted several kinds of snacks, some of which were obviously southern snacks, not unique to the north.

Zhang Feng thought, it seems that with the exchange between the north and the south, some things in the south have gone to the north, and some things in the north have also gone to the south.

Even, Zhang Feng thought in his heart, when the Beijing-Pudong railway is completed, the north-south exchanges will be more prosperous, and the entire economic development will become more and more prosperous.

"Brother Feng, look."

Princess Kunxing gently tugged at Zhang Feng's sleeve, Zhang Feng had already seen it, there was still such a thing, and there were still people collecting protection money here.

The object of the charge is a middle-aged couple, Zhang Feng also bought a scallion pancake there just now, the taste is very good, the price is also very cheap, the middle-aged couple is also very enthusiastic, and through Zhang Feng's experience of seeing people, the middle-aged couple belongs to the kind of honest people.

Zhang Feng was still holding the half-eaten scallion pancake in his hand, and when he saw this scene, a wave of anger rose from the bottom of Zhang Feng's heart.

Now, Zhang Feng's position is completely different, if it was before, Zhang Feng could say, this is my business, but now it is different, Zhang Feng is the emperor, of course I have to take care of it.

In the past, as early as when he was in Songjiang Mansion, Zhang Feng had dealt with the gang, and at that time, he had no good impression of the gang, and he was very disgusted.

"Isn't it five pennies a month? Why do you want eight dollars? The middle-aged male boss was a little dissatisfied, he was not happy to pay the protection fee, but now the price is long.

But if you don't pay, you can't pay it, just last month, one family didn't pay, and as a result, a group of people came and knocked down the stall in front of everyone, and the stall owner who didn't pay the protection fee was also beaten half to death, and since then, I haven't seen the stall owner again.

The middle-aged proprietress said good things, and even said almost pleadingly: "A few people, if you give us a few days, we will operate on a small scale, and it will not be easy to accumulate a few dollars of silver." ”

The leader is a scarred face dressed in black, and a scar on his face runs from the corners of his eyebrows to his cheeks, which is shocking and adds a bit of fierceness out of thin air.

I saw Scarface stretch out his hand, not showing any emotion, "Less nonsense, eight coins of silver, not a cent less, and I will tell you, from the next one, I will receive one or two pieces of silver every month." ”

The middle-aged boss and his wife were shocked, how can this be good, it is easy to make money, if it were not for the fact that His Majesty the Emperor has introduced a lot of measures to encourage the development of industry and commerce, small stalls like middle-aged boss and his wife would have difficulty surviving, or even unable to sustain themselves.

Now the policy is good, but I didn't expect that the world is not peaceful, and there are people who secretly collect protection money, and if you don't give it, it's not okay, unless you don't want to set up a stall here.

The female proprietress begged: "Master Scar, if we continue like this, how can we live!" ”

Scarface was unmoved, and his tone became stern: "Don't talk nonsense, or I'll make a mess." ”

Helplessly, the female proprietress had to take the silver, and the male boss's eyes were on fire, but she couldn't have a seizure, because she couldn't afford to provoke these people at all.

Zhang Feng couldn't stand it anymore, walked over in a few steps, pressed the hand of the female proprietress who was holding the money, and said in a deep voice: "Wait, what's going on?" ”

Scarface glanced at Zhang Feng, saw that Zhang Feng was very faced, and warned: "Boy, don't feel uncomfortable yourself, do you know who we are?" ”

Zhang Feng said disdainfully: "Lao Tzu doesn't care who you are, collecting protection money is a felony, you wait to kill your head." ”

Scarface laughed as if he heard a joke, and after laughing, Scarface said, "Boy, you don't go to inquire, does the sixth master know?" Let me tell you, we are the subordinates of the sixth master, and these streets are all the territory of the sixth master. ”

It can be seen that the black in the capital area? The social problem is very serious, all the gangs have divided the territory, Zhang Feng is very annoyed in his heart, it seems that he has to make a move, and he has to hit hard.

Zhang Feng didn't bother to talk nonsense, and saw that the guard who was originally following far behind had already found that something was wrong, Zhang Feng waved his hand and said, "Take it, handle it strictly!" ”

The two guards moved quickly and quickly, took down the two of Scarface in one fell swoop, and also brought a rope from the side to tie up the two of Scarface with their backhands.

There are a lot of people around, and there is not a small movement here, and soon there are a lot of people around, seeing Scarface, the two are tied up, many stall owners know Scarface, seeing this scene, many people applaud, but there are also a small number of people secretly reminding Zhang Feng.

The middle-aged stall owner who sold scallion pancakes reminded: "Thank you, this son, but you have to be careful yourself, they will not give up and will definitely make trouble for you." ”

Zhang Feng said: "Uncle, don't worry about me, I'm fine, you will be fine." ”

Immediately, Zhang Feng's voice became louder, and he said loudly: "Don't worry, from today onwards, no one will come to collect protection money." ”

There will be no more protection fees, that's great!

Many people applauded happily, and some even applauded happily. Zhang Feng waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go back." ”

When it comes to such a thing, it is impossible to continue playing, and it is estimated that with the two Scarface being sent to the official, the entire Shuntian Mansion will be alarmed.

Sure enough, not long after Zhang Feng returned to the palace, the Shuntian Mansion Yin was sweating profusely and entered the palace to ask for a meeting, Zhang Feng got the report, and immediately knew what was going on, Zhang Feng received the Shuntian Mansion Yin in the Qinzheng Palace.

Soon after Zhang Feng ascended the throne, in terms of administrative system, in addition to the high-level cabinet of nine people and various ministries, the local government basically followed the administrative system of the Ming Dynasty.

The Shuntian Mansion Yin was re-selected after Zhang Feng ascended the throne, and a large part of some officials with good moral character and good reputation in the former Ming Dynasty were reappointed, and this Shuntian Mansion Yin was a former Ming official.

The sky was full of sweat, and as soon as he came in, the Shuntian Mansion Yin knelt on the ground, and after saluting, he said loudly: "Long live, the minister is guilty, and the minister deserves to die." ”

Zhang Feng sneered: "Lord Liu, the entire Gyeonggi region is under your rule, and the common people live and work in peace and contentment, and are prosperous, how can you be guilty?" ”

When Zhang Feng said this, the face of the Shuntian Mansion Yin turned white, and he didn't dare to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and begged: "Long live, the minister is guilty, please punish the minister." ”

Zhang Feng snorted heavily, "Your crime, the cabinet will deal with it according to the law, but before dealing with it, there is one thing that you need to do, make a heavy punch, and severely crack down on the gangsters in the entire Gyeonggi region with thunderous means, and give the people a good day." ”

"Yes!"

Shuntian Mansion Mansion Yin replied loudly, knowing that his life must have been saved, he couldn't help but feel light in his heart and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Feng's meaning is obvious, it depends on the performance of this Shuntian Mansion Yin, if he behaves well, the punishment will be light, and if the blow to these gangsters is not effective, then he will be punished heavily.

Zhang Feng said: "Give you a month, and at the same time transfer a group to cooperate with you, after a month, if there are still gangsters in Gyeonggi, there are still people who dare to collect protection money, hum......"

Zhang Feng's "hum" meaning was very obvious, and Shuntianfu Mansion Yin said loudly: "Long live rest assured, in a month, there will be no more gangsters in the entire Gyeonggi region." ”

"Go ahead!"

Shuntianfu Yin thanked him and walked out of the main hall, so he dared to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and then, the entire Gyeonggi region launched a severe crackdown on the gangs, and all the gangs were suppressed, and the social atmosphere was correct.

At this time, the good news came, Zhang Xianzhong's troops were all wiped out, and Zhang Xianzhong also died under the muskets of the soldiers.

The Mongol region was quickly pacified, the whole of Mongolia was subjugated, and in this way, the whole country was unified, and now, the territory of the Chinese Empire is only much larger than that of the Ming Dynasty.

Not only Mongolia, Xinjiang, but also the Bering Strait, Sakhalin Island is within the territory of the Chinese Empire, and to the north, to Siberia. At the same time, the nationwide strike-hard campaign was launched, and in troubled times, heavy punishments were used to severely crack down on criminal gangs and those who violated discipline and discipline, and after killing a number of people, the social atmosphere gradually improved.

In addition, the reform of the army has begun.

According to Zhang Feng's arrangement, the General Staff Headquarters of the Army formulated a plan to divide the country into nine military regions, and the army was expanded from the current 20 divisions to 50, first reaching the scale of one million people.

Of course, this is a relatively long process, and now the plan is being formulated, and it is estimated that it will take at least half a year to a year to be truly complete.

After the fall, many new-style schools are happy, students begin to receive new-style education, and the two newly established universities also begin to open, and a large number of young talents and people from all over the country enter these two universities to receive new-style education.

After graduating from university, these students will enter various positions, or engage in scientific research, or politics, etc., all of which are new-style talents.

Now, all over the country, set off a big boom in construction, road and bridge repair, the establishment of various factories, with the spinning technology announced to the public, steam engine technology, cement technology, steelmaking technology, etc., also began to step by step orderly disclosure.

Of course, the core technology is still in the hands of Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, Baoshan Iron and Steel Plant and other large factories.
