The next day, after the pilgrimage, I went to the balcony.

When Yinglan saw me coming, she bowed and saluted: "I've seen Your Majesty!" ”

I waved my hand and said with a smile: "No courtesy, I've been busy for a few days, and it's rare to have free time today, and I'm quite bored in the Four Seas Palace, so let's take a walk on the Cheng Terrace." ”

Looking at the fallen leaves that began to drift in front of me in the water, I asked, "How was Zhang Liang and Baling meeting yesterday?" ”

Ying Lan's voice sounded behind the side: "Back to Your Majesty, the two are in love, Baling has agreed, and the concubine entered the palace today to report this matter to Your Majesty." ”

I nodded with satisfaction: "How is Zhang Liang performing?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the concubine didn't see anything unusual in the demeanor of the supervising envoy, but she admired Ba Ling a lot."

I laughed, "That's great." Qi Juan, you go and inform Zhang Liang, let him prepare his own things to propose, and return to Jiangnan after the wedding date is set. ”

Qi Wan took the order and went.

Walking to a water pavilion, I stopped and stood up, and said lightly: "Yinglan, how about Zhongding Pavilion and Baoyue Tower?" ”

Ying Lan hesitated for a while, and then responded, "Your Majesty is asking how the business is doing?" Your Majesty hasn't been there for a long time, and Zhong Ding Pavilion has added a lot of new dishes, and it is not an exaggeration to describe the two as daily gold, and now the money and silk are almost full of thousands of miles of incense. ”

I nodded and turned to look at her: "I want you to drive Zhong Ding Pavilion and Baoyue Tower to all parts of Daqin, what do you think?" ”

Ying Lan was well-thought-in, and immediately guessed that I might have other ideas, and said respectfully: "Everything is according to Your Majesty's orders, Your Majesty is not just to expand the scale of business, right?" ”

"Hmm." There was nothing to hide from her, and this matter still needed her to do, so I stared at her tightly and said solemnly: "I want to develop Zhong Ding Pavilion and Baoyue Tower into spies independent of the clean room!" I've already chosen a name, it's called Yueding! ”

Ying Lan was a little surprised, and said suspiciously: "Your Majesty, if you are not afraid of difficulties, after all, the concubine is a businessman, I am afraid it will be difficult to establish a spy who can compete with the clean room, if things do not work out, I am afraid that I will miss Your Majesty's major event!" ”

I smiled, understood her concern, and explained: "The clean room is only responsible for the officials, and they also take care of some civil affairs, but the focus is on protecting my safety and the stability of the imperial court, all you need to do is to collect and report to me the civil suffering that exists in various parts of Great Qin." For example, there is a great drought in a certain place, there is no harvest in a certain place, floods and houses are destroyed in a certain place, the people in a certain place are fierce, private fighting is common, and the things in a certain place are more expensive than other counties, etc., which are related to the common problems of food and clothing in Qianshou, whether it is because the officials are unfavorable to the government, or because of natural and man-made disasters, classify and summarize and report to me, so that I can know how Qianshou lives. ”

Ying Lan suddenly realized, and said a little strangely: "Isn't the clean room also able to play such a role?" Why did Your Majesty set up a separate agent? ”

I looked at the lake under my feet and said in a deep voice: "If the water is full, it will overflow, and when the moon is full, it will be lost. I naturally trust the clean room, but after all, they are people from the imperial court, and many times they will not start from the head of Qian. ”

"For example, in the past, it was normal for Qianshou to be ragged, hungry and cold in their eyes, and the whole world is like this, what is there to be strange about? But for me, this will immerse me in false illusions, and maybe one day I will also think that the people can eat enough three meals a day to be prosperous, so I will ignore foreign enemies and stop development. ”

I looked up at Yinglan: "I know you all think I'm weird, I know so many things, I have so many wonderful ideas, but let me tell you, these are ordinary things for me, and even what I'm doing now is not enough!" I'm different from you, I know how wide the world is, and I also know how small the world is, if I'm only satisfied with letting the people of Daqin eat and clothe at the moment, I will be ashamed of this body! ”

"Great Qin is very small, as small as the land of Kyushu, the world is very small, as small as only five continents, and the real breadth is above the head, in the universe! So wide that even the human imagination can peer into the edge of the universe! My goal is to enable Daqin to have enough land, technology, and talents to continue to develop! Leave the soil for the future of Daqin to run to the sea of stars! So I can't stop there! ”

Looking at my excited expression, Yinglan also felt my ambition, and said with a solemn face: "Your Majesty, the concubine understands, and the concubine will definitely do her best for Your Majesty!" ”

I gradually calmed down, this is the first time I have said so many irrelevant things to the people of this era, if human beings do not want to be trapped in the limited resources of the earth into the "pig mode", they can only turn to the universe, only by working together can we quickly achieve the development of science and technology, this is the meaning of unity! Everything I do can also make the starting point of technology a little higher.

As for whether Daqin will be able to continue to unify and develop to a higher level after a hundred years, or whether it will be divided and return to its original historical trajectory, that is not something I can consider.

"There's no need to rush this matter." I continued: "First open the Zhongding Pavilion and Baoyue Tower to all parts of Daqin, and then it is not too late to do it when the time is ripe, even if it is three or five years, it doesn't matter, judging from the profitability of the two now, even if this matter is not successful, it can contribute some taxes to the imperial court." ”

Yinglan nodded and said respectfully: "The concubine understands." ”

After sending Yinglan away, I walked to Mrs. Ba's palace and told her about Ba Ling and Zhang Liang, she was naturally extremely happy, the only concern outside was this sister, and now I have a good home and can finally rest assured.

Then I went to Changxiang Palace, didn't alarm anyone, just listened to it outside the palace for a while, and the voice from inside made me shake my head, and I was having fun again.

Ignoring him, I turned around and walked towards the Sihai Palace, and asked on the way, "Meng He, how is Concubine Li in Li County?" ”

Meng He then left and responded: "Back to Your Majesty, there is nothing abnormal, in addition to reading all day long, I went to Lishan Mausoleum to worship the emperor, according to His Majesty's instructions, no one can contact her, but every month someone specially sent the letter and some objects written by Concubine Li to Prince Hu Hai to Changxiang Palace, everything has been carefully checked, there is no problem." ”

I didn't answer again, just waiting for the matter of Beihu to be resolved, all the threats facing Daqin have been nipped in the bud, only Hu Hai!

After thinking about it all the way, I stopped when I was about to enter the palace gate, and ordered: "Spread my edict, the prince of Huhai is already sixteen, and from now on, except for the permission of me to go out of Xianyang Palace, as long as you do not violate the rules of the palace, you can walk around in the palace at will, and it is no longer limited to the harem." You don't have to spy on his whereabouts, just follow anyone he touches. ”

Meng He bowed and said yes, and Qi Wan was ordered to go to Changxiang Palace.

My eyes narrowed slightly: "Fusu's good brother, since you really can't support the wall in the mud, let me help you!" ’
