Listening to Chongzhen's words, Zhou Yingluo remembered that there was a lot of silver in her inner money, and smiled knowingly, "Rich is quite rich."

"You've been on the road for a month, aren't you tired?" Zhou Yingluo asked with concern, "Xuemei told me just now that you have been reading since you came back and have not rested."

"I'm in good health, I've only been on the road for a month, and I'm not tired at all." Chongzhen subconsciously looked at "The Rootless Tree" on the table, and couldn't help but sigh that since Xuan Xuanzi gave him this book and studied it every day, his physical strength and energy have increased day by day.

"How can you not be tired!" Zhou Yingluo felt distressed.

"Really."

Just as Chongzhen was about to explain, the lights in the house came on.

The dimly lit study suddenly brightened.

"Well, the prince's recital mentioned that the Shengong Institute has developed the pumping technology, and it seems that the effect is good."

Zhou Yingluo suddenly smiled, "Yes, it turned out that it was dark at night, and I didn't dare to go out, but now it's okay, the house is bright, and there are street lights outside, which are also very bright!"

……

Just when the palace was full of splendor, the street lights on the streets of Kyoshi were also lit up.

The post house where Huang Zongxi and the three of them are located is not qualified to install indoor electric lights, and the house has long been dark.

They were just about to go to bed when they were startled by the bright light outside the window.

"How can there be such a bright fire? Is there a situation?"

Huang Zongxi was shocked, put on his clothes and ran out of the post house.

When I saw the light source on the main road, I was as motionless as a column.

Gu and Tang, who ran out a few steps slowly, were also stunned.

"What is this?"

"Lamp...... Cage?"

The movement of the three of them was very loud, which alarmed Yicheng, and he didn't know what was wrong, so he hurriedly followed.

Seeing the demeanor of Huang Zongxi and the others, he immediately laughed.

During this time, all the foreign officials he received would make such a fuss at night.

"Three adults, this is the electric light invented by the emperor! Specially designed for lighting up at night!"

Because he knew that the three of them were returning to Beijing with the emperor, Yi Cheng did not dare to despise it, and introduced the new objects of the Beijing division one by one in the near future.

Looking at the three people with shocked faces, Yi Cheng laughed, "Let's go, the next official will lead the three adults to visit the night market!"

"What's that?" Night market?"

……

Chongzhen took Zhou Yingluo to the wall of the palace, looked at the lights outside the city, and suddenly felt like a dream, "I actually did it!"

"Yes, the emperor has given Daming a new look!"

……

In the next few days, Chongzhen was accompanying Zhou Yingluo, or walking, or playing, or arranging flowers, tasting tea, and life was not comfortable.

The prince of the East Palace asked to see him every day, but he was blocked by Chongzhen with physical exhaustion.

"Father, my sons are really tired." Zhu Cihong was speechless and went to the cabinet in a dull manner.

Several members of the cabinet understood the prince's mind very well, and they hoped that Chongzhen would come to the court.

When the emperor personally conquered the country, it was just the crown prince who supervised the country, but now that he has returned, it is not good to always be like this.

Therefore, several cabinet elders jointly played and asked Chongzhen to come to the court.

The prince also took the opportunity to read the book.

Chongzhen stayed in the middle of the house, constantly inspecting the munitions bureau, cement factory, steel factory, light bulb factory, glass factory, textile factory and other new industrial sites, and even conigned to talk to the workers, causing the craftsmen to tears.

When Chongzhen returned to the palace after inspecting the circle, the cabinet ministers saw that the time was ripe and played again.

Chongzhen still ignored it, went out of the palace again, inspected the construction of various official roads around the Jingshi, and inspected the newly built diversion canals and other water conservancy facilities in Gyeonggi by the way.

Looking at the scene of the people carrying the dam on their shoulders, Chongzhen was a little embarrassed.

"Oh, the people are miserable. In the past few months, I have to serve the imperial court."

Ni Yuanlu followed the holy car, and after listening to Chongzhen's words, he couldn't help but sigh at the emperor's kindness, "Your Majesty, the construction of this Miyun Reservoir is for farming, and it is bitter

But the people are willing to work.

Especially now that they don't have to bring their own tools and food when they go out to serve, the people are even more enthusiastic."

Chongzhen nodded and asked, "To what extent have several reservoirs in Yanshan been built?"

"Back to the emperor, the other reservoirs are small in scale, and with the use of cement, they can be completed before spring ploughing, but only the Miyun Reservoir is large in scale and the dam is also high, and it will be completed next autumn."

Chongzhen didn't speak anymore when he heard this, but looked around the construction site, looking into the distance along the several aqueducts under construction.

"In this way, Gyeonggi will be able to survive the general drought."

……

After inspecting Gyeonggi for more than ten days, Chongzhen finally returned to Gyeongshi, and this time, the prince did not wait obediently in the East Palace, but blocked the noon gate.

Seeing Chongzhen coming, he quickly stepped forward to say goodbye.

"You're so careful that you're starting to block my way."

"Father......" Zhu Cihong looked at Chongzhen indescribably.

"Let's go to the Heart Cultivation Hall with me, just to learn about state affairs."

Zhu Cihong smiled bitterly and followed.

……

The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

"You mean that Liaodong should be divided into three or four provinces?"

"Yes, Father." Zhu Cihong became serious, "After the census, there were more than 500,000 people in the eastern Liaoning region after the war, but because of the war, there were only 150,000 people, and there was more than one political secretary to manage everywhere.

However, since last year, there have been 900,000 immigrants, and 100,000 have moved with the soldiers.

Now 780,000 people have been exiled from all parts of the south of the Yangtze River, plus four new cities, 80,000 people have been requisitioned, and they will settle there in the future, plus the 160,000 wild Jurchens who have entered the city, 50,000 people have moved to Korea, and there are already 2.6 million people in Liaodong.

When the city is scattered and the transportation is inconvenient, it is obvious that the power of one government cannot control it."

Chongzhen nodded constantly when he heard this.

Seeing Chongzhen's face, Zhu Cihong was relieved, "At present, because of last year's bumper harvest, the people have solved the problem of food and clothing, and people's hearts are stable. In the future, if there is a natural and man-made disaster, the imperial court and the local state capital will not be able to guarantee local stability at all.

Therefore, Erchen believed that southern Liaoning should be set aside to establish a new political envoy, and a political envoy should also be set up in the central Liaoning region from Haizhou to Shenyang, and the same is true for the north of Kaiyuan.

If we take into account the attachment of the Korean people, it is also feasible to divide Liaozhong into east and west."

After speaking, Zhu Cihong stood with his hands down.

The establishment of the new political department will place more officials, and the court officials are very hot-eyed. But Zhu Cihong was a little worried, after all, he is still the crown prince, not the emperor, and such a large-scale placement of local high-ranking officials will inevitably be looked at.

Therefore, when he knew that it was difficult for Chongzhen to agree to his resignation from the prison state, he started with the establishment of an administrative region in Liaodong instead.

Chongzhen was clear about this, but he didn't care, because he had been thinking about the Zen position for a long time.

But he didn't care, it didn't mean that the courtiers didn't care.

After a little thought, Chongzhen said, "In this way, let King Ding supervise the country with you!"

Hearing this, Zhu Cihong's eyes widened, and a monstrous wave was set off in his heart, "What, what is my father going to do?"
