Leaving Hexi Weaving, the convoy did not stop any longer along the way, and did not return to Xianyang until the beginning of July.

Stepping on the neat streets and smooth roads of Xianyang again, and seeing the orderly carriages, horses and pedestrians after the implementation of the "Xianyang Road Traffic Law", I took a deep breath: "Xianyang, even the air smells so comfortable. ”

Feng Zai rubbed his ankles, which were a little swollen, and said with emotion: "Yes, it's still comfortable in Xianyang." ”

Seeing that there was Jinlin Lane in front of me, I shouted, "Stop." ”

The carriage slowly stopped, and I turned to Feng Zheng and said, "Go back and rest, we will discuss something tomorrow." ”

Feng Zheng got up and arched his hand: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

After Feng robbed him, the carriage drove back to Zhangtai Palace.

————

Early the next morning, the front hall of the chapter platform.

"See Your Majesty!"

Looking at the princes in the hall, I smiled and said, "No courtesy, all sit." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Si's health was not as bad as I expected, and I basically recovered shortly after I left Xianyang.

Because he was old, I specially gave him no need to get up, so Li Si sat on a special soft chair and said slowly: "Your Majesty's tour took only seven months, and as soon as you come back, you will immediately convene a court meeting, but you have to pay attention to your body." ”

As soon as Li Si's words came out, everyone said in unison: "I hope Your Majesty puts your body first!" ”

I smiled: "I originally wanted to rest for a few days, but this trip to the Western Regions was too long, what major events could happen in the DPRK and China?" ”

Li Si arched his hand and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the country of Great Qin is now peaceful and peaceful, and many things such as road construction, the development of agricultural business, aquaculture, handicraft workshops, and iron smelting set by the Great Dynasty last year have won the hearts of the people, and they are all being carried out in an orderly manner." ”

I nodded slightly, "That's fine." Let's talk about it. ”

Immediately, the three princes and nine secretaries explained the situation of their official offices in the past six months one by one, except for the progress of the railway, which is still slow, the others are advancing normally.

When it was Yujin's turn, this cargo actually told me that the steam engine had been built, and even the model of the Daifuku ship had been built!

I was directly expressionless, and said lightly: "After the court meeting, I will go with you to have a look." ”

To be honest, I don't have much confidence in either of these things anymore, mainly because the four-like thing hit me too hard last time......

After everyone finished playing, I spoke: "I am very relieved that everything in the DPRK and China has not gone wrong with you. However, some people should not know about the affairs of the Western Regions, Feng Zheng, you tell you. ”

Li Si has a report sent to the convoy every day, and I will simply return the affairs of the Western Regions to him after reading it, but I am not in the court, except for the people close to him and the three princes and nine kings, other people must not be able to tell them casually, so most people do not know about the affairs of the Western Regions.

Feng Zheng stood up and saluted, and turned sideways to briefly recount what happened in the Western Regions.

Listening to his eloquent narration, and then looking at the minister who is like listening to a book, I can't help but sigh again in my heart that Feng Zheng is a talent!

What does this thing look like, it's just not like Prime Minister Zuo! Fortunately, it is trustworthy enough.

After listening to his chatter, the ministers in the palace were still immersed in his narration of the lotus flower, and I coughed lightly, and everyone came back to their senses.

"Zhuqing, this trip to the Western Regions has made a big move." I said with a serious expression: "Just because the Western Regions are the top priority of Great Qin, as long as the Western Regions are firmly controlled by Great Qin, even if there is a problem in the grassland, it can be easily dealt with!" Therefore, the three things that Feng Zai just said, the officials involved in the official office must do it with all their hearts! ”

"Obey your orders!"

I looked at Feng Zai: "As for the purchase of slaves through merchants to win people's hearts, this time you have seen the situation in the Western Regions with your own eyes, and you are still in charge, and if you encounter problems, listen to Wu's advice." ”

"Obey orders!"

"There is one more thing, you know." I said slowly: "Since the beginning of this year, the Inspectors will rotate every four years, and no Inspectors will be allowed to stay in office for more than four years!" ”

Everyone looked at each other, but there was no objection, and many people were even happy.

Without him, the power in the hands of the superintendent is too great, there are those who envy, and there are also those who are jealous! If it is rotated once every four years, it means that everyone has the opportunity to become the feudal official who dominates one side!

Their reaction was as I expected, and the temptation of power is not something anyone can resist!

I also thought about it carefully on the way back.

If you compare Zhao Tuo, Zhao Tuo is just a mountain king, in addition to having a lot of soldiers in his hands, the county guard he also served as the county guard actually only did two things: fighting wars and maintaining stability, but even this caused me a lot of trouble.

The power of the Overseer is much, much greater than his! Although the military power in various places is under the command of General You, according to the current division of duties, General Right must obey the orders of the envoy, which is also a last resort, and the affairs of Jing Zhu and Han Xin in the Western Regions are a lesson from the past.

At the same time, the supervision envoy also has the power of appointment and dismissal, land inventory, population registration, trade and trade exchanges and so on, and is a feudal official in the true sense! So everyone is chosen by thousands, ability is one thing, and the most important thing is to be loyal enough!

After glancing around, and seeing that there was no objection, I got up and waved my hand, "If there is no objection, let's disperse." ”

Everyone stood up and saluted: "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" ”

After returning to the apse of Zhangtai and changing clothes, I took Yu into the Jiangzuo Mansion.

As soon as I entered, I was dumbfounded, only to see a four-wheeled carriage parked in the backyard of the Jiangzuofu that was larger than an ordinary carriage!

That's right, this dog's carriage actually has four wheels! And it's two small wheels in the front and two big wheels in the back!

My eyes widened directly: "Yu Jin, where the hell did you get the princess's pumpkin cart?!" ”

"Huh?" Yu Jin was a little confused when he heard my question: "Your Majesty, what princess's pumpkin cart?" ”

I pointed to the carriage in front of me: "Why does this carriage have four wheels?" ”

I didn't teach them that!

Only then did Yu Jin understand, and the expression on his face instantly turned smug: "Back to Your Majesty!" This is a four-wheeled carriage developed by Nanyang Research Institute, which is extremely convenient to use! ”

"Your Majesty, please see." Yu Jin squatted down and pointed to the two small wheels in front of him: "These two small wheels can play a role in balancing the carriage, even if you don't put the horse on the ground." Not only that, but these two small wheels are not connected to the two large wheels behind them, so that the first two wheels will not affect the next two wheels, and the steering will not be hindered. ”

After listening to Yu Jin's introduction, I suddenly had a trace of anticipation for the steam engine covered with oiled paper cloth on the carriage!

"Good! Very good! I complimented: "The reason why I didn't let you improve the carriage to four wheels before, in addition to the fact that the four-wheeled carriage has higher requirements for the road, is because the steering machine is not easy to make, I didn't expect you to figure it out yourself!" Not bad! ”
