Chapter 1277: Your Majesty's Speech

Zhong Zhen looked at Qin Feng on the head with a little cramped look, and he twisted his body slightly uneasy wherever he sat. He was used to wearing a battle robe. He felt a little uncomfortable with the civil servant's uniform. In the past, even when he was defeated and a captive general stood in front of Qin Feng, he could face it naturally, because at that time he had no desires, but now it is different. He is already a minister of the Ming Dynasty, a county magistrate, and a chief official of the border, and he went to the capital of his home country. Later, the core county magistrate of the Ming Dynasty ruled the western region as the county magistrate.

On the one hand, he felt guilty of betraying his homeland, but on the other hand, he looked forward to a new mission.

During the months when Qin Feng was in charge, he followed Wang Lingbo to many places in the Ming Dynasty. Whether it was the prosperous Zhengyang Taiping, the newly developed Changyang Fuyuan, or the Taoyuan Wuling, which is still extremely backward, the thriving and vigorous atmosphere was constantly infecting him.

Whether rich or poor, whether the people or officials, they are full of hope for the future. They firmly believe that they will be better in the future and strive to make a better life in the future.

Every place you walk through, you can see the busy situation. Roads extend at your feet, ditches communicate with fertile fields, factories rise from the ground, and a prosperous and powerful empire slowly kicked off in front of him.

Wang Lingbo's identity is extraordinary. Whenever he goes to a place, he will always be enthusiastically sought after by local officials and gentry. Not only because of his deep background, but also because of his amazing medical skills. Following Wang Lingbo, Zhong Zhen learned more about countless policies that the Ming Dynasty is now implementing and the current situation after the implementation of the new policy. There are even many policies that are not being implemented in the discussion. He also heard a lot of them. Wang Lingbo didn't care about them, but at such gatherings, these things always became the center of people's discussion, while Zhong Zhen was quite sensitive to these.

The politics of the Ming Dynasty was quite open-minded. This was his first feeling. Officials, gentry, and even some merchants, farmers were discussing these things together. Whether it was OK or not, or not, they did not feel that there was anything inappropriate, and this was not dared to resemble the Qin Dynasty in the past.

Later he realized that in the Qin Dynasty, there was only one thing that was sacred and inviolable, that was, there was no disrespect to the royal family. As for the rest, it didn't matter. There was nothing wrong with scolding the prime minister in the street. No matter which policy was implemented, some people would benefit and some would suffer losses, and it was impossible to cover everything. Quan Yun, the chief minister of the Political Affairs Hall, was naturally the best scapegoat.

Some people praise him for his good power, so naturally some people call him a traitor.

If everyone praises you, it would be abnormal.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was only one principle that things that were good for most people could be implemented. At the beginning, the officials of the Political Affairs Hall planned and reported to the emperor for making a decision, and then developed to pilot projects. They were first implemented in a certain place. If the results were good, they would be promoted nationwide. Now, when each policy was about to be introduced, they would first release some news, and then collect a large number of reflections from all walks of life, and then evaluated them, and finally decided whether they should continue to move forward.

Zhong Zhen found that being an official in the Ming Dynasty was definitely a chore. The salary sounded very high, but compared to what they did, it was really nothing. Compared with the officials of Daqin, they were simply corpses and corpses.

There are not many corrupt people, but the Censorate of the Ming Dynasty was extremely powerful. The world-famous Eagle Nest is a department under the Censorate. Eagle Nest is everywhere. The domestic department has a lot of energy to supervise officials from all over the country. The Censor Jin Jingnan, a workaholic in his early forties, is a standard selfless workaholic who is in his hands and is basically done.

Zhong Zhen has seen criminals locked into Beijing, and officials like Ma Xiangnan. If it weren't for someone else's introduction, it would be hard for Zhong Zhen to imagine that such a person was the magistrate of Changyang County, who was very famous in the Ming Dynasty. This aristocratic family looked no different from an old country farmer. If he took a cigarette and held an old cow, he would be a country farmer. But it was such a person who managed Changyang County, which was originally unknown and the smoke-filled Changyang County, into Changyang County, which is now living a prosperous life.

After returning to Yuejing City, Zhong Zhen became a completely different person. His inherent philosophy of being an official and value were shattered by the current situation of the Ming Dynasty as his trip.

Is this the reason why Qin State is vulnerable to the Ming Dynasty?

He has a place to support the elderly and has a place to support them in few places, and both widows, widows, widows, orphans have a place to rely on. He has seen it in the Ming Dynasty in an ideal state that he had just read in books before. Even though there were still some gaps, he was indeed working hard in this direction.

Along the way, he met many people with Qin accents. During the conversation with them, he was shocked to find that these people were actually sold, but they had no hatred for the people who sold them. Instead, they were very proud that they had come a few years earlier. Compared with the Qin people who had just arrived in the Ming Dynasty, they were much richer and more comfortable. They had perfectly integrated into the life of the Ming Dynasty. They always talked about the Ming Dynasty, and when it comes to Qin, they disdained them.

When they heard Zhong Zhen’s accent, they chatted with him enthusiastically, but as soon as they heard that Zhong Zhen used to be an official in Qin State, they would immediately turn against each other, leaving silent embarrassment to Zhong Zhen.

What I experienced and saw reminded Zhong Zhen of the situation in Qin. It was so annoying that people compared people. It was no wonder that these people from Qin had no nostalgia for their homeland.

If it were me, I'm afraid it would be the same. After the past few months of itinerary, even I was deeply infected. This reminded him not only of the people in Qin, but also of the people in Ming Dynasty, but also of the people in Ming Dynasty.

Of course! He answered himself like this because everything that Qin has now belongs to Ming. And Ming will surely transplant these policies successfully implemented locally one by one to Qin.

What he could do for the people in his hometown was also considered to be atonement for his first half of his life. Before coming to Ming Dynasty, he took everything in Qin for granted, because Qin was located in a bitter and cold place in the west, so hardship was inevitable. But after he saw Changyang, Fuyuan, and the barbarians who lived so well, he realized that things were not like this, there was no land that did not produce, only people who could not do it. Specifically for Qin, there was a big problem with the court's policies.

When he returned to Yuejing City with all his thoughts, there was news that Yongdu City was broken. Then there was another news that Ma Chao fled to Anyang, the State of Chu. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty actually went to Anyang in person and shot Ma Chao to death at the Anyang County Governor's Mansion. At this point, Qin State has completely become history.

Before he could have time to feel sad for the complete destruction of his homeland, he was invited into his house by the chief assistant Quan Yun.

What Zhong Zhen couldn't imagine was that Quan Yun actually wanted to invite him to be the governor of Yongdu County.

This is something he never expected.

He was a captive general, or in the hearts of the Ming people, he was still a dead-hard member. But when the other party took action, he was at such a heavyweight position. He knew very well the importance of Yongdu. Even if Qin was destroyed by Ming, Yongdu's position was still unparalleled.

"Is this what Your Majesty mean?"

"This is the result of discussions between all the political affairs of the Political Affairs Hall. We have reported the process of their meeting to Your Majesty. Under normal circumstances, Your Majesty will not refute our opinions, so this matter is almost the same. Mr. Zhong, before appointing you, we have thoroughly understood the status of your family in Yongdu, what your Zhong family has done over the years, so we are not aimless. You must know that if you ask Wang Lingbo to take you to various places in the Ming Dynasty for a few months, this is for the face of his teacher. Others can't invite this little genius doctor."

It was not until that time that Zhong Zhen understood why Wang Lingbo suddenly wanted to travel far. It turned out that all this was just to let himself go and take a look, let himself see how the stone in the pit witnessed with his own eyes how the Ming Dynasty governed the country and why the Ming Dynasty was so powerful?

Later, the development of things was as Quan Yun said, and His Majesty the Emperor followed the request of the Political Affairs Hall. Today, the emperor resigned.

"You are more familiar with the specific situation of Yongdu than me, so there is no need to say more about these. After you go, you don't have to hurry up and try to do everything best in a short period of time. The first priority is to stabilize people's hearts, let the people there slowly understand the Ming Dynasty, and integrate into the Ming Dynasty. Only by doing these things well can you truly talk about developing the economy and improving people's livelihood. You have been in the Ming Dynasty for a long time, and I think you have learned that the county magistrates of the Ming Dynasty have considerable autonomy, and the best ones that suit the local area are the best. The most taboo thing is to copy and copy them, and you may backfire."

Zhong Zhen stood up and bowed and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will take care of Your Majesty's instructions."
