1726: Return

In the Yuejing rail station, like the Ming Dynasty prince and Qin Wu, the King of Qi, left Beijing, once again became more vigilant. Compared with the last time, there were more soldiers arriving this time, and all passengers waiting at the station were limited to a certain area. Such martial law levels made it clear to those familiar with the Ming Dynasty that the Ming Dynasty would inevitably be the Emperor Qin Feng, the Ming Dynasty.

Qin Feng, who returned from Changyang County, will cut the ribbon for the first steam track car in the Ming Dynasty here. After countless tests, the steam track car in the Ming Dynasty will finally be officially put into use.

Of course, this rail car that was officially launched for the first time will not carry passengers.

At 10:00 noon, as Qin Feng's special railcar arrived at Yuejing Station, the atmosphere instantly reached a climax. The people waiting at the station did not know what would happen today, nor did they know what the long guy covered in red silk was in the station, but this did not hinder their enthusiasm.

Today was a good day for them, because they had the opportunity to see the supreme ruler of the Ming Dynasty, His Majesty the Emperor of the Holy Ming, at close range.

The Ming Dynasty was not established for a long time, only for more than ten years, but the people under their rule had long forgotten the past. The new generation may not feel anything. But for those who have transitioned over the past, two dynasties are not true, so they are two worlds. If they were struggling in hell before, they are now completely like living in heaven.

For the people in the Ming Dynasty, they have basically escaped from poverty and the life of living with the goal of eating enough seems to be a joke.

In the past decade, they have witnessed miracles after miracles, watching the cement-made roads turn the difficulties and obstacles of the past into smooth roads, seeing large frames of all-steel structures spanning the river, communicating with natural barriers, and watching trains of rail cars scatter across the world. The territory of the Ming Dynasty was expanding day by day, but for the people, the world seemed to have become very small. In the past, a few months of long journeys were a journey of life and death, but now, it takes only a few days to get on the rail car.

More importantly, now they have their own land, houses, and stable income. As long as you are not lazy, you can always find your own way of survival in the Ming Dynasty.

The poor who had nothing in the past were very satisfied because they had solved the problem of food and clothing, and the rich people in the past were also very satisfied because although they had lost their land, the court opened up more resources to make more money than before, and enjoy luxury that they could not have imagined before. The craftsmen were very happy. They were no longer synonymous with lowliness, had a skill, and became a symbol of ability in the Ming Dynasty, and it was easier to find wives than others. The soldiers were very happy because they held high military pay and were respected by everyone. Being a soldier was no longer a means of making a living, but a glory for defending the country. The Ming Dynasty, which implemented the elite military system, had a very high threshold for becoming a soldier. Since last year, the soldiers recruited by the Ming Dynasty and illiterate people, have been turned away.

In the Ming Dynasty, the emperor's sense of existence seemed to be very low, because ordinary people rarely saw the emperor appear in public, and even the emperor's imperial edicts were rare. What they saw more were the laws and regulations issued by the Political Affairs Hall. However, in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor's prestige was higher than that of people in any era in history.

An emperor who can bring good life to the people, an emperor who never charges bribes, and an emperor who once had a legendary story, conforms to all the people's fantasies about heroes.

The people of the Ming Dynasty loved Qin Feng from the heart. As people from Chu and the West gradually changed from frequent exchanges between the Ming Dynasty, their expectations for the emperor increased unprecedentedly.

Because living examples are placed before them. The prosperity of the local people in the Ming Dynasty shocked them, and they were also full of leisure for the future. One day, they would live such a life.

On this land, the first thing to discover is naturally the merchants. Compared with those big merchants with great hands and eyes, those small business merchants, and those responsible customers almost no longer want to leave after they arrived in the Ming Dynasty. Because the Ming Dynasty provided merchants with a relaxed environment that they never dared to think about before. Taxes are of course very heavy, but apart from taxes, there is no need for them to worry about. A good idea and a good business opportunity can make you reach the top in one step.

The farmers' thoughts are generally the most conservative, but the Emperor of Ming Dynasty used the simplest means to bring them over, which was to distribute the land to the landless people. Although these lands still cost money in the end, they still had hope for everyone. More importantly, the burden on the farmers in the Ming Dynasty was really low. The extremely low taxes and the no longer existed corvee made the people in Chu and western regions think they were in their dreams.

Everyone is motivated. Merchants hope to make more money. Farmers hope to get a bumper harvest and receive more food. They can truly take these lands back to themselves as soon as possible. Soldiers are eager to make achievements on the battlefield. Officials hope to leave their names in history.

This is the vibrant Ming Dynasty, and this is the ming Dynasty at its peak.

Of course, the spear has existed. No matter how bright the sun is, there are shadows that cannot be seen. However, compared with those places where sunlight is harvested, the shadows are simply not worth mentioning.

Emperor Qin Feng showed fewer appearances, the higher his prestige in the hearts of the people of the Ming Dynasty. In the hearts of the people, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was almost a god.

So when Qin Feng walked down from his special railcar, the huge Yuejing Station immediately knelt in black and covered the waiting people. The voice of praise and praise almost overturned the roof of the station.

Qin Feng worked quietly when he left Beijing, but when he came back, he made great contributions. The officials in Beijing arrived at the station to welcome the return of the supreme ruler of the Ming Dynasty.

Qin Feng walked past the station with a smile, waved frequently to the people separated by the guards, and always maintained the most approachable smile on his face.

It was not until he walked into the station's lounge surrounded by everyone that he reached out and rubbed his face, which was about to be laughed hard, and said to the officials beside him: "I never thought that laughing, it turned out to be a very hard thing. Everyone, from now on, I don't want to laugh anymore. Don't think I'm angry."

The sarcastic tone caused a burst of laughter to sound in the rest room. Unlike the ordinary people who were far away from the emperor, their understanding of the emperor was naturally very deep. For some people, perhaps they would know him even more than Qin Feng himself. Understanding the emperor's preferences, the emperor's temper, and the emperor's thoughts did not mean to flatter, because only by understanding what the emperor thoughts could we better formulate policies that suit the emperor's wishes.

Although Qin Feng rarely speaks out on how to govern the country, all the officials know who this country belongs to and who has the most control.

Qin Feng didn't think that if he had mixed too much into the governance of the Political Affairs Hall, he would be better for the Ming Dynasty, because he was not good at this. For example, the plan to destroy the economy and currency of Qi that the Ming Bank and the Ministry of Commerce jointly established by the Ming Dynasty to destroy the economy and currency of Qi, even if these people explained it to him in detail, he still didn't understand it.

How can we collect more taxes without hurting the people, and how to make a local government promote peace and harmony? Qin Feng believes that the guys in the Zhengshi Hall and those who are close officials in various places are stronger than him.

Therefore, when it is time to let go, you must let go. Just grasp the general direction. Qin Feng doesn’t like the governing style like Cao Yun of Qi, who has to interfere in every detail. The emperor is a human or not a god. It is impossible for him to know everything. If he intervenes too much, he will only make things worse. Leave professional things to professional talents. What he wants to do is just give them a platform to display their skills.

"Your Majesty has a rest for now. The steaming car head is undergoing the final maintenance. It will take about half an hour to ask Your Majesty to cut the ribbon and start it." Xu Lai smiled and bowed.

"It's finally about to start!" Qin Feng sighed: "This time I went to Huludao to watch the navy's exercise, and I gained a lot. When I came back, I saw the real train going to be put into use. This world is finally coming when it's earth-shaking."

"His Majesty calls the railcar a train, and has another new name?" Jin Jingnan said with a smile.

"Look, after a front of a car, there are cars dragged one after another. Do they look like neat queues?" Qin Feng laughed and said, "I will call it a train or a train in the future. Didn't he burn the carbide? Is the flames very vivid?"

Everyone was irresistible, but the left and right were just a name, and they knew very well that what their emperor liked the most was to take some unique names, namely Canal Corporation, Railway Corporation, etc., and it didn't matter if there was a train or train.

"Xu Lai, I have tried it many times. How fast is our train at an hour?"

"Your Majesty, the speed of one hour is actually not much faster than the speed of pulling the horse before." Xu Lai said.

"Ah?" Qin Feng couldn't help but be stunned.

"Your Majesty, the tracks we are using now are the past. The strength, pressure and wear resistance are still far from the requirements of steaming cars. It is not that we cannot run fast, but we dare not run fast. However, time has been saved because we no longer need to change a batch of horses every few dozen miles. Each time we drive more cars than before, almost doubled, so the capacity has been greatly improved. Next, we must find a way to improve our rails." Xu Lai said.
