The Dongfang Road patrol made Xu Feng finally rush back to Xianyang from Langya, and after returning to Xianyang City, Xu Feng didn't even enter the door, and without resting for a moment, he entered the palace to see him.

"Weichen, knock to see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live!"

In the Zhenghe Palace, Xu Feng's first action when he entered the hall was to move forward quickly, and knelt in the hall, bowing three times and bowing nine times to Yingcheng.

Yu Xu Feng, this is the first time to see the second emperor, he is a feudal official, the position is higher than Jiuqing, and now he has to step into the court, really stand in the position of Jiuqing, and be in charge of the world's money and grain, which is a heavy responsibility.

Yu Yingcheng, this is the first time to meet Xu Feng, from the realization of Xinzhong, to make him loyal, this requires a run-in process, the order of the government of the history of Su, for the Qin State, the importance is self-evident.

"Xu Aiqing, please get up, it's been a long journey!" Yingcheng looked at Xu Feng, who had gray temples and was slightly old, but still in good spirits, and said politely.

"Your Majesty can think of Weichen, it is the honor of Weichen, with his old body, he still has a use for the Qin State, and he can use it for His Majesty, and Weichen should repay him with dogs and horses." Xu Feng is also experienced in the world, old and steady, and his exports are full of words of loyalty.

Can't fault the slightest.

Yingcheng naturally couldn't find fault at this time, so he just said, "Xu Aiqing's loyalty to the Qin State can be learned, how can I not know."

said.

Yingcheng got up and walked to His Highness, standing with Xu Feng at close range.

Xu Feng's height was more than seven feet, two heads taller than him, even so, when he saw Yingcheng approaching, Xu Feng still bowed slightly, not looking much taller than Yingcheng.

Yingcheng, on the other hand, stepped forward and grabbed Xu Feng's arm, and said with a smile: "I know that Aiqing has not stopped for a moment, and it must be hard work, so I specially prepared a meal for Aiqing to catch the wind and wash the dust for Aiqing."

Saying that, Yingcheng slowly pulled Xu Feng to the dining table, although the dining table was large, there were only two chairs, and he pulled Xu Feng to the dining table, and Yingcheng let go and sat down.

"Weichen, thank you for Your Majesty's Longen!" Seeing this, Xu Feng was moved to kneel on the ground again and burst into tears.

"Aiqing, sit down!" Yingcheng said, his hand already on the top of the wine glass.

What to say waiting for the courtiers to toast, but it is more arrogant, the king treats me as a countryman, I will repay the countryman, how the king treats the countryman, not to take the heavy responsibility, not to be gracious, reflected in all aspects, and even in every detail.

For Feng Quji, Li Si, and Meng Yi, he doesn't need to win over anything anymore.

However, for the newcomers to the court, he must be thoroughly wooed and make them firmly stand on his side.

And this time for Xu Feng to pick up the wind and wash the dust, it is not just a pure wind and dust.

If Xu Feng thinks so, then he will have to consider whether Xu Feng is suitable to take over the post of Governor of the Imperial Palace.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After Xu Feng thanked him again, he got up and sat down at the eucalyptus table.

Now.

It's not just Yingcheng who is thinking about Xu Feng, who met for the first time.

In fact, Xu Feng was also thinking about the second emperor who met for the first time.

Including first impressions, personality, style of doing things, means of acting, way of speaking, etc., you need to have an accurate understanding.

And at this time.

Seeing Xu Feng seated, Yingcheng didn't say a word, and took the lead in raising a glass and said: "Aiqing has reclaimed Hanzhong and Jibei granaries for my Great Qin, and will govern Jibei in an orderly manner.

Xu Feng hurriedly raised his cup, and was about to get up and said: "How dare Weichen take credit, it is the duty of Weichen to govern the place, Your Majesty treats Weichen so kindly, Weichen is afraid!"

"Today, there are no monarchs and ministers, only people who are admired from afar, and they can see Aiqing eat a homely meal!" Yingcheng smiled and said, "Aiqing, please!"

Saying that, Yingcheng had no extra words, and drank the wine in the cup.

"Your Majesty!" Xu Feng was moved for a while, and drank it all in tears.

However, in my heart, I have a new understanding of the second emperor in front of me.

It's better to see than to hear, in Langya, he is right

The eldest grandson, the decree of the Great Law Mansion is like thunder, and his reputation is far and wide.

Especially paper, the paper in Jibei is hard to find, and countless bachelors have come to Xianyang from Jibei just to be able to use cheap paper.

In Langya, there are so many rumors about the decree of the Dalu Mansion that it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

And now.

Although they met in such a short period of time.

But it gave him a new understanding of the methods and ambitions of the second emperor.

Steady, easy-going, do things without leakage, and use tactics to moisturize things silently.

The second emperor, who inherited the orthodoxy of Great Qin, must not be viewed by age.

"This second cup, I respect Aiqing again!" At this time, Yingcheng added wine to the history of the interior and raised the glass again.

When Xu Feng heard this, he hurriedly resigned, how dare he let the Second Emperor toast again.

But Yingcheng waved his hand and said, "Aiqing doesn't have to be nervous, after Rong Zhen finishes, it's not too late for Aiqing to resign."

After a pause, Yingcheng continued: "The first emperor died, and I succeeded to the throne at the time of danger by the edict of the first emperor, and I should be conscientious and conscientious, as the first emperor, and guard the Qin country for the kings of all generations."

"The Qin Kingdom is like a towering tree, I am like a tree trunk, there are no branches and leaves, and there is no root system below, this branch and leaf is like the people of the world, and the root system is like a universal courtier, without the root system, I cannot provide nutrients for the branches and leaves, and if I lose the branches and leaves, this towering tree of mine will be empty."

"I, Great Qin, need a capable minister like Aiqing to provide nutrients for the people of the world, so that the people can thrive on the soil of my Qin country, and I also need a responsible minister to turn the tide in the crisis."

"However, I was deeply shocked that the Secretary of the Inner History repaid the emperor's kindness with his death, but he left behind the mess of the Inner History Mansion, hundreds of thousands of officials have no leader, no one to do, I have only a short time to succeed to the throne, and I urgently need a capable minister to assist Zuo Yu, thinking about it, I still feel that Aiqing is extraordinary, a loyal heart, and knows the affairs of Nongsang, so I summoned Aiqing to return to the capital."

"I also hope that Aiqing can have the courage to take on the heavy responsibility in the midst of danger, reorganize the Su Nei Shifu, and maintain the affairs of the world's agriculture and mulberry."

"This cup, I should respect Aiqing, although I still respect, I hope that Aiqing can be appointed to govern the Sunei Shifu Decree, consolidate the world for me, stabilize the people of Qin, so that the people of Qin will have enough food and clothing, and no longer have to worry about food and clothing."

This time.

Xu Feng couldn't sit still anymore, so he knelt on the ground with a puff of time, and said gratefully: "Your Majesty has such high hopes for Weichen, Weichen is afraid that he is not a good student, and he will miss His Majesty's big things!"

He naturally knew what he was called back this time.

Before meeting the Second Emperor this time, he had also made all the predictions.

He thought.

The second emperor's words were to make him recommend himself, because this was the usual method, and it was even more engraceful.

I didn't expect it to be so high and trusted.

This kind of kindness made him hesitate whether to take over the order of the Zhisu Inner History Mansion.

"Aiqing, please hurry up, I will ask Aiqing to come to Qin State, to govern agriculture and mulberry for the people of the world, naturally I believe in Aiqing, believe in Aiqing's ability, I hope that Aiqing can take over from Neishi Gong for the people of the world and rule the world." Yingcheng gently raised his hand to support Xu Feng.

For a while, Xu Feng was moved, and many of the words that were good were useless, so he had to say: "Weichen should do his best to stabilize the world for Your Majesty!"

Yingcheng smiled, put the bronze cup in front of him, and handed Xu Feng's wine glass in front of Xu Feng, and said with a smile: "In this case, you and I are of the same heart to seek well-being for the people of the world and reassure the hearts of the people.

"This cup, for please, please Aiqing!"

"If I am at fault, please correct Aiqing, if I forget the people of the world, please remind Aiqing, if I abandon the farming, please warn Aiqing."

"Your Majesty!" Xu Feng really burst into tears this time, and tears of emotion flowed, but on his face, he was full of joy, "Weichen, I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's heavy responsibility!"

Xu Feng said, drinking it all.

"This third cup, yes

I used to respect Aiqing!" And Yingcheng raised his glass again and said, "This cup, I respect Aiqing, can trust me, and assist me."

Under the three respects.

At this time, Xu Feng no longer had any apprehension, although he saw it for the first time, he was like the old acquaintance, and there was no half-separation barrier, only a piece of loyalty remained.

And next.

The real conversation is just beginning.

All important ministers who are abroad return to the capital, whether they are military generals or civilian officials, must do one thing.

Debriefing!

Xu Feng was no exception, although the reception banquet was full of tables, but the food was cold and did not move much, on the contrary, he drank two pots of mellow palace jade liquid.

So far.

Yingcheng can also be regarded as having a very clear understanding of the affairs of Jibei.

Jibei does not only refer to Jibei County, including all places east of Taihang Mountain, which are called Jibei, only because of the plain area in the north of Jishui, which has the title of Jibei County.

In the identification of Daqin, Jibei includes the entire old Qi homeland, Jibei, Qi County, Xue County, Langya, and Jiaodong County.

And through Xu Feng's debriefing, he knew.

Although Jibei is known as one of the three granaries of Daqin, it is a place for grain production, but in fact, Jibei really relies not on granaries, but on fisheries and sea fishing.

In the past, Qi State's excavation of the Bohai Sea and the East China Sea was not limited to the near sea, and even the exploration ships had arrived in Pyongyang, Seoul and other wilderness areas on the opposite side.

Not only that, after the first emperor arrived in Langya several times, he looked at the vast sea area and had the idea of exploring the sea several times, especially after watching along the Bohai Sea, the first emperor asked Ling Xu Feng to explore the sea several times.

To put it more precisely, seaports were set up in Lianyungang, Qingdao, Weihai, Tianjin Port, Changli and other places, sea ships were built, and a fierce exploration of the Bohai Sea was launched.

The results have been remarkable.

Jibei's fishery is extremely prosperous, even to overshadow grain output, but food is fundamental, at any time, no matter how prosperous Jibei's fishery is, it cannot replace agriculture, which is to ignore the prosperity of Jibei's fishery under the cover of officials.

And this achievement is not only that, the Qin State has a sea ship, and it is a large sea ship, one hundred and three feet long, thirty-two feet wide, and can carry 60,000 catties of sea ship.

Among them.

Langya County, where Xu Feng returned to Xianyang, was one of the important places to supervise the construction of sea ships.

And this is not whether the First Emperor wants to find immortals or find elixirs.

But in the sea area, there are incomparably huge interests.

Among them, in addition to fishing, is the production of whale oil.

All the whale oil in the Qin State came from the whaling of ships in the Jibei Sea.

And whale oil, just in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, used 100,000 catties to light up every corner of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, which is intended to be bright.

The use of whale oil is more in the Xianyang Palace, and the large and small palaces in the Xianyang Palace use whale oil, not fire oil.

And this.

It also made Qin's sea ship team more and more explore the deep sea.

According to Xu Feng, just three months ago, Langya's convoy arrived at a deserted island, which was 10 to 2,000 miles southeast of Langya.

And this is very likely to be Jibei Island, and further east, it is the island country.

This was something he didn't expect, and he thought that the exploration of the sea area would take at least ten years to figure out.

However, according to what Xu Feng said, the exploration of the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea by the five counties of Jibei has reached the peninsula on the other side and Jibei Island, that is, the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea have been basically explored.

The reason why the imperial court is not clear is more because of the spontaneous behavior of the five counties of Jibei, the imperial court is opposed to the first emperor's behavior of exploring the sea, the Qin state still has to focus on agriculture, and Xu Feng is on the secret order of the first emperor to explore the sea.

This ending was not surprising to him.

Agriculture has not been developed clearly, and the main direction of the imperial court is to stabilize the three granaries and develop the banks of the great rivers, that is, the Jianghan Plain and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, as well as the Xiangjiang River and the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, where the Lingqu is located.

That is, the southeast side, which is related to Ji

The eight poles of the five northern counties can't be beaten.

If large-scale manpower and material resources were mobilized to explore the sea, this would be strongly opposed by many courtiers in the court.

Naturally, among them, no matter how developed the fishery in Jibei is, even if Xu Feng is secretly ordered by the First Emperor to explore the sea, Jibei so far, the focus is still on farming silkworms, if the granary of Jibei does not pay enough land tax every year, Xu Feng will be held accountable first, and then the county guards of the five counties of Jibei will be held accountable by the imperial court.

This accountability is not that the imperial court issued an edict to hold them accountable, but that officials were sent directly to the five counties of Jibei to inspect and dispose of all officials.

And because of this.

In the governance of the five counties of Jibei, agriculture is still the priority, supplemented by mulberry sericulture, fishery ranks third, and sea exploration is even more secondary.

Xu Feng's debriefing only included government affairs, and did not involve specific details, and at the same time, it included not only the five counties of Jibei, but also Dong County, Dang County, Hanoi, Shangdang, Sanchuan, Yingchuan and other counties.

Dongfang Road Patrol Envoy, an official at the level of a feudal official.

And after Xu Feng's debriefing was completed, Yingcheng asked a few more questions, and then approved "read" on the recital submitted by Xu Feng, and this can be regarded as the complete end of Xu Feng's position as a patrol envoy of the Oriental Road.

"Now, in addition to the grain harvest, the most important thing for the imperial court is three, first, the shortage of grain and grass, which includes the issuance of grain bonds, which needs to be supervised by Aiqing, the second is the matter of collectivized agriculture, and the third is the matter of taxation."

After Xu Feng's debriefing, Yingcheng began to arrange specific affairs for Xu Feng, and the reason why Xu Feng was transferred back to the capital was also because he was appointed to govern the people who were ordered by the Su Nei Shifu to be able to handle all major affairs.
