Chapter Five Hundred and Fortieth: The New Master

Zhang Ning was not good, but he was indeed quite capable. As Qin Feng said, Yuejing City was delivered so peacefully to the Taiping Army, and no more bloodshed was revealed. The people in the city also accepted this fact peacefully, and Zhang Ning did a lot of work.

With his reputation, he suppressed the gentry and noble officials in Yuejing City, controlled the prices in the city with strict temporary laws, especially the stable supply of food, and ordered all shops not to close down, creating a false image of peace. After watching all this, the panicked people finally calmed down. Life seemed to be no different from usual, but the owner sitting in the palace was about to change.

And no matter who the person in the palace was, they were too far away from their lives.

Yuejing City is the largest city in the north of the mainland. Thousands of years ago, in order to deal with countless ethnic groups in the deep mountains, Emperor Qing formulated a strategy to use suppression and comfort, focusing on comfort and suppression as the supplement. Therefore, Yuejing City was built with high-end, atmospheric and elegant style. Not only was the city defense strong, but the city wall as high as 30 meters was only comparable to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Empire at that time. The buildings in the city almost gathered the essence of all places within the huge territory of the Tang Empire. They included both the rough and atmospheric buildings in the north, the rigid and distinct edges and lines, and the gentle and gentle garden buildings in the south of the Yangtze River.

Comfort is not only economically but also culturally. With the economic temptation that is countless times better than in the mountains, the indigenous people in the mountains gave up the bitter life in the mountains, went down the mountain to enter Yuejing City, and then penetrated and assimilated from childhood with Tang culture. This is an extremely long-term plan, but the long work has achieved amazing achievements. The indigenous people in the mountains were disintegrated and eroded little by little. Now, in the Yuejing City, it is impossible to tell who the ethnic group moved from the mountains. They are now collectively called Yue people.

Of course, deep in the mountains, there are still some deadly hard-working elements who stubbornly insist on the original tradition of not going down the mountain. However, they are weak, not to mention challenging the rule of the Tang Dynasty, even if they do something harassing.

Thousands of years later, the Tang Empire collapsed, and the Wu family established the Yue Kingdom in Yuejing. The country changed, but the cultural heritage did not change. There were even many vanishing traditions that could not be found in the successors of the Tang Empire. They still exist in Yuejing.

Walking from the city gate to the palace, Qin Feng seemed to feel that he had already experienced the style of the entire continent, and had the illusion of time and space chaos. The streets were clean and deserted. Except for the soldiers who were three steps and five steps, they could hardly see the people, shops, and the people's homes. Because of Zhang Ning's temporary decree, the doors were wide open. The shop owner, the buddy, and the most ordinary people stood in the house with some fear, watching the rows of majestic warriors walking by a young man.

This is their new emperor in the future. Everyone is thinking this way.

The Taiping Army that followed Qin Feng into the city was only Qin Feng's own guard camp and the Wild Dog's Canglang Camp. All other troops were stationed outside the city. Qin Feng did not want large-scale troops to enter the city, causing panic among the residents in the city. What's more, once the army as the occupier entered the city, something unexpected would happen.

The winner always feels that he has the right to ask for something from the losers. Not everyone will strictly abide by military discipline in the nearly 100,000 troops. As long as one or two guys who are scrambling to fish in the water, they are very likely to ruin a good pot of soup.

What Qin Feng needs now is stability.

The safety and vigilance in the city was still left to the city gate army in Yuejing. Although Zhang Jian was dead, the deputy commander Jian Fang was still there. The battle of Longyou made the reputation of this unknown county general reach the peak. In addition, Xiao Ning was assisting him, and most of the generals of the city gate army were the children of the powerful and powerful people in the city, which was quiet. Qin Feng heard that Jian Fang had only dealt with a few Zhang Jian's confidant generals.

Of course, in the next days, the Taiping Army will take over these things one by one, and the fate faced by this city gate army will only be the consequence of being dismissed.

Standing in front of the palace, Qin Feng felt a little moved. The glorious and huge palace in the golden wall almost dazzled his eyes. The palace he had seen in the Chu people was far inferior to the exaggeration of the one in front of him.

The Chu people were rich, and even the Qi people had to admit this. However, the emperors of Chu had always had the habit of being thrifty. Whether it was Min Wei or Min Ruoying, their material needs seemed to be very low. They were emperors and even had two wives. Like Min Ruoying, the newly married imperial concubine was still Princess Qin Feng who had to face the political situation in the face of his reluctance.

For a person like Min Ruoying with ambition, if there are more women and more children, it will take his own time. And he would rather spend his time dealing with government affairs and diligently practicing martial arts.

From this point of view, Qin Feng still admires Min Ruoying more. There are very few emperors who can do this. Even the emperor of Qi has a reputation for being lewd and lewd, and he is famous for his preference for women.

The State of Yue was the weakest among the four countries, with only better financial resources than Qin, and its army was at the bottom among the four countries. However, even if their palace was not as good as the capital of Qi, Chang'an, it still left Qin Feng's Yongdu and Chu's Shangjing for countless streets. Or this was the result of the emperors of Yue's past dynasties who knew their strength, but instead did not intend to make progress and just enjoy themselves.

Of course, they paid the price for it. This magnificent and extremely spectacular palace has now been replaced.

"How much does it cost?" Qin Feng shook his head repeatedly, "Master He, if you say I live in such a place, will I slowly fall into depravity like Wu Jian?"

He Rentu smiled and said, "As long as you still have something to ask for in your heart, you will not be confused by external things and will not be confused by your heart."

Qin Feng laughed: "Master He is right. Buddhism has a saying, "Wine and meat pass through the intestines, and Buddha sits in his heart. Is that what does it mean?"

"I didn't expect General Qin to have any research on Buddhism?"

"It's not a question of research, I don't like them." Qin Feng shook his head: "I don't like any guy who doesn't do anything about production and just rely on a mouth to tell the lotus."

Hearing this, He Rentu couldn't help laughing.

Outside the palace city, led by Eunuch Le, a large number of eunuchs and palace maids knelt on the ground in a dense manner. Qin Feng frowned. There were so many people? Although he had never been to a place like the palace, his wife was a princess of Chu and had also told him about the general situation in the Chu palace, but compared to the present, it seems that it cannot be compared.

"Eunuch Le, get up!" Qin Feng waved his hand.

Eunuch Le's face was pale and Zhang Ning and his son were killed by Wei Zhuang in front of countless people, which made him frightened. You know, this time, he was also one of the masterminds. If Wei Zhuang wanted to take his life, he would have no way to heaven and no way to enter the earth. After a difficult period of time in fear, Wei Zhuang never came. Now that he saw Qin Feng standing in front of him, he finally put his heart in his stomach. It seems that this life has been saved.

"How many people are there in total?" Qin Feng glanced at the eunuch maid who was still kneeling.

"Return to General Qin, no, no, no, no, report to Your Majesty, there are a total of 3,058 people!" Eunuch Le stuttered.

Qin Feng glanced at him, "What Your Majesty? You should call me General Qin."

"Yes, yes, General Qin." Eunuch Le was a little helpless.

"What do you want so many people to do?" Qin Feng asked casually while walking inside. "Don't you spend money? Let's cut half of it first."

Eunuch Le was slightly shocked. He didn't expect that the new emperor had sacked so many people before he entered the palace?

"General Qin, these people have different categories and are engaged in different jobs. If so many people are laid off at once, I am afraid that many things will not be able to do." He explained in a low voice.

"There is no need to do anything unnecessary." Qin Feng ignored Eunuch Le's explanation, "As long as it can ensure normal operation, I will lay off all other institutions related to enjoyment."

"But General Qin, the eunuchs here, would be difficult to survive if they were let go. Even the palace maids were afraid that most of them would not find their families, and it would be a big problem if they were let go!"

Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that the eunuchs in the palace were not much the same as normal people. If they left the palace, they were afraid that they would be discriminated against, and even survived. He hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but get angry. Damn Wu Jian, why did he get so many eunuchs and palace maids into the palace?

"Since that's the case, let's put this in advance, and I'll deal with it after my wife comes." My wife is the Princess of Da Chu. I think she is familiar with these palace affairs, so I'm too lazy to worry about it. Anyway, so many people should not be left in the palace, and the money must be used on the blade. When I was only in Changyang, Shayang, I thought I was a little rich man. Now, standing at the top of the entire Yue Kingdom, I suddenly turned into a poor man. This feeling is quite uncomfortable.

I need money! But where does the money come from? There is no way, before I find a way to open source, I can only intercept the traffic.

"Good aunt, Xi'er and the others should have set off?" He turned to look at Yinggu.

"It should be almost done. But with Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu, I'm afraid it won't be fast along the way. It will take ten days and half a month!" Ying Gu said.

"Eunuch Le, this is my aunt, you know it too. In the future, my aunt will become the chief supervisor in the palace. If you are the deputy of my aunt, if you have any problems, just go to my aunt directly. Do you know?"
