During the pre-Yueyue period, Yongping County was also a very wealthy county, but among the dozen prefectures and counties under his jurisdiction, there were still two poor county seats, namely Youfeng County, which is located in high mountains and ridges and connected to Hulao County, and Laiyi County.

But in the past ten years, Fengxian County has been developing at an unbelievable speed, especially as the starting point for entering the mountains, Fengxian County has become the top Fuxian County, which has become the top Fuxian in Yongping County.

And this is just because of a business road leading to Hulao.

Cheng Weigao made great contributions in this matter. It was his strong push that made the Ming Dynasty determined to build such a channel to communicate with Hulao. Later facts also proved that this was a crucial decision.

The county seat of Youfeng County is surrounded by mountains, with only a flat land of only a few miles in the middle. In the past, there were only a thousand families and less than 10,000 people living here, but now, the permanent population here has exceeded 50,000, which is five times more than before.

The feng people living in the mountains have now walked out of the small mountain villages where they lived for generations and entered the county town. Now they no longer have to rely on the poor slopes to harvest some pitiful food, nor have they have to take great risks to hunt in the mountains and collect herbs to make up for the shortcomings of their families. Now they mainly work for countless merchants gathered here in the county town, and even can do some small businesses themselves. The income is very different from before.

Now Youfeng County is almost a newly built city, with gray colors becoming the main color of the entire city. This is because the buildings in the entire city are basically dominated by steel and concrete structures. The places in Youfeng County are too small, but now there are too many people, so the buildings here can only be built high. Speaking of which, this is also the experimental site and mature technology of the high-rise buildings of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, the so-called high-rise building is only four or five floors tallest.

Qin Feng stood on the hillside and looked down at the entire Youfeng County Town. There were rows of buildings behind him, but there were various yamen in the entire Youfeng County.

"Your Majesty, in order to free up the limited flat ground below for merchants to use, we moved the yamen to the halfway up the mountain. This will be more conducive to merchants' daily activities. Youfeng County is more about storing and transporting goods by merchants. On the flat ground below, it can save more costs and time." Cheng Weigao explained.

"Not bad, not bad. It's quite difficult for the government to think of this." Qin Feng gave Cheng Weigao a thumbs up, "After all, the functions of the government are not only managing the people and maintaining order, but also serving the people. When the people are rich, you can collect more taxes. Only when you receive more taxes can you do more things for the people and get more rewards. This is a virtuous cycle."

"Thank you for your praise." Cheng Weigao couldn't hide his smug smile on his face. This business path and Feng Laiyi were the most proud capital he was the most proud of.

"What are those?" Qin Feng pointed to the gray places at the foot of the mountain in the distance and where it seemed to be a dam further away.

"Your Majesty, when the construction of Youfeng County was first built, officials of the Ministry of Works were worried that if there were heavy rainstorms or long-term rainstorms, the mountain would have landslides, which would endanger the hidden dangers of the entire county. Therefore, over the years, Youfeng County has been committed to doing one thing, that is, to build these earth-blocking dams to block the dangers as much as possible. Those in the distance are flooding dams to control the flooding of rivers. In the past, Youfeng County often performed the thrilling dams of water flooding in the county, but with the completion of these flooding dams, this situation has not occurred for two consecutive years. Youfeng County is preparing to continue to build more such flooding dams, and Feng County will be completely built into the safest county seat." Cheng Weigao introduced.

"Okay, okay, do things ahead. Youfeng County is really doing well and should be an example for officials in the world." Qin Feng was not stingy with his praise. This was not perfunctory, but a kind of thing like this that can think of all dangers in advance and prevent them is indeed an extremely rare thing in this era.

"Your Majesty's residence has been arranged. Your Majesty has worked hard all the way. Why not settle down first?" Cheng Weigao asked.

"It's OK, too." Qin Feng said with a smile.

The group walked along a jade belt-like road on the mountainside halfway, for about half a stick of incense, and turned over a mountain depression. A group of buildings with extremely bright colors appeared in front of Qin Feng. The exterior walls of buildings decorated with red and yellow as the main colors were even more pleasing to the eye against the green jungle.

For folk decoration, yellow was originally a taboo, but Qin Feng himself did not care. For example, Huangyan, a specialty of the western region in the desert, was used to be used for the royal family of the Qin State, but now it has become a specialty of the western region, sold to various parts of the Ming Dynasty, with high prices but still in short supply. With such an example, yellow began to gradually become relaxed among the people, and ordinary people dared to use it.

"Your Majesty, this is the best building in Feng County. Now all the people inside have been cleared." Cheng Weigao said.

Qin Feng looked at these buildings with some surprise, "Youfeng County mainly dealers, so they should be a bit here. Such a good building and museum are built here. Do you have any business on weekdays?"

"Your Majesty doesn't know that when the roads were blocked, it was naturally impossible to have these, but now the transportation is convenient, and Fengxian has become a hot commodity. Except for the main building, these buildings are all built with each family as service targets. They can escape the summer heat and come here to enjoy the snow in winter, so they are very popular." Cheng Weigao explained. "Slowly, this place has become a famous and elegant place. Some merchants are elegant and sometimes they will also book a house here specifically to receive their own large customers. Generally speaking, the supply is still in short supply."

"There are indeed many smart people in the world!" Qin Feng had to sigh. "For me today, I cleared the place, don't disturb the people?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, now is the off-season. Even if it is the peak season, it is natural for you to give way to Your Majesty." Cheng Weigao led Qin Feng to the small building in the center and bowed and said, "Your Majesty has a hard journey, so let's take a break first. I will prepare a banquet to greet Your Majesty."

"It's okay." Qin Feng nodded, "Let's send it to this small building for food, let's forget about the others, how about our monarch and ministers having a drink?"

Cheng Weigao's face tightened and he bowed and said, "I am honored."

After moving into the small building and taking a bath, Qin Feng, who was relaxed, sat on the platform of the small building, overlooking the entire valley of Youfeng County, and said with some emotion: "Mr. Le, no matter what, Yongping County can achieve such achievements today is inseparable from Cheng Weigao's contribution. Like Youfeng County, this was a famous poor county in the past, but look, what it looks like now? The mountains and rivers are beautiful, living and working in peace, and there is prosperity hidden in the tranquility, just like a paradise."

"Without Your Majesty, how could there be a prosperous era now? Cheng Weigao's contribution was just to use His Majesty's power. Otherwise, how could he not do this in the forefront?" Eunuch Le smiled.

Qin Feng was very happy when Eunuch Le flattered, "Cheng Weigao is a person who knows the situation and is also an extremely smart person. It is of course his intention to choose to welcome me here."

"It's nothing more than showing His Majesty that he has worked hard and made great contributions."

"He did work hard and make great contributions, so he is considered a big festival and a leisurely person, so I am not doing anything. Since he chose this place, I will stop here for a few days and let him do the final work well. Then happily go to Beijing with me to continue to be an official."

"Your Majesty, Chai Ziming is not following Cheng Weigao, I'm afraid he's going to do these things. Do you think you should control this person afterwards?" Eunuch Le asked in a low voice.

"Look, if Cheng Weigao has the intention to kill this person and silence him, then save him and take him back. If Cheng Weigaorong leaves safely, then let him go." Qin Feng's eyes flashed with a strange look and he ordered.

"I understand. Let's go and arrange it." Eunuch Le turned around and left the small platform.

As night gradually fell, Cheng Weigao appeared in front of Qin Feng again. This time the two met, but in the study of this small building, all the guards were driven out of the small building, and even Eunuch Le went to the living room downstairs to wait.

Qin Feng sat in the middle, staring at Cheng Weigao in front of him with bright eyes.

In such an environment, under Qin Feng's stare, Cheng Weigao, who had originally thought about countless arguments in his heart, suddenly felt that any defense was pale and powerless. He knelt in front of Qin Feng.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty!"

This time Qin Feng did not let him get up, but said in a low voice: "Cheng Weigao, you are indeed guilty, but your crime does not lie in the illegal things your tribe members use your reputation in Yongping County, nor in the fact that your Cheng family is crazy about using business to make money in Yongping County. These are just small matters in my opinion, in the eyes of the Political Affairs Hall. There is no loss of justice, and I have time to have some minor matters. I can still tolerate such a thing."

Cheng Weigao's face was a little pale. He followed Qin Feng for a long time and understood Qin Feng's habit. Once Qin Feng didn't call me in front of his close ministers but called himself me, it means he was really angry.

"I know the crime."

Qin Feng snorted: "You know the crime, what crime do you know? Let me tell you?"
