The carriage window was pushed open, and one hand gently lifted the curtains. A beautiful face appeared in the window, looking at the majestic walls of Shangjing City that were gradually fading away.

Finally it was time to leave.

Thinking of the mother's eyes that were crying red and swollen in the palace gate, she held hands and made instructions reluctantly. Min Ruoxi felt her nose sore, her eyes were hot, and tears were almost bursting out of her eyes.

"Empress!" Yinggu reached out and gently pressed Min Ruoxi's hand. However, her other hand lowered the curtain and closed the window. "The Empress Dowager is in a big state, and she will see each other again."

Min Ruoxi closed her eyes, and tears finally burst out from her eyes. "When we parted today, my mother kept thinking about Xiao Wen and Xiaowu in her mouth, asking me to find a suitable opportunity to take them back to the capital to see her. I am afraid that when we really come to the capital, she would never want to see us again."

Yinggu couldn't help but feel silent. Xiao Wu, as the only prince of the Ming Empire, basically could not come to Shangjing City. If it really came, it would be only one situation. The Ming army had occupied Shangjing City.

As the empress dowager of Chu, at that time, was she really willing to see her grandson whom she never forgets now?

Yinggu didn't know how to comfort Min Ruoxi. The biggest purpose of Min Ruoxi's trip to return to her hometown where she gave birth to her was to push the State of Chu into a deeper abyss. She knew that Min Ruoxi was in a bad mood now. Perhaps, at this time, she would not say anything, but would be better.

When I came, I took the water route, but when I returned, I took the land route. The team would go all the way north and finally pass through Xinning County and enter Izumo County in the Ming Dynasty. Where is Yu Chao's Fengfeng Camp waiting for the Queen's car to drive.

With the Min Ruoxi convoy returning, there was also a huge silver transport vehicle from Changlong Bank. Tens of millions of taels of cash collected from Shangjing City. In addition to leaving a part of the silver that was suppressed as a treasury, the rest were all merged into huge silver ingots. Their final destination would be the treasury of the Ming Dynasty, which existed as a reserve currency. They would no longer be circulating on the market, and what would replace them would be the banknotes issued by the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty's currency war against Chu State also kicked off. Unfortunately, no one in Chu State could realize the great power behind this war, and they didn't even expect that it was a war. In the view of Chu State, the victory of this war was comparable to a hundred thousand troops siege the city.

However, the surface of this currency war was covered with a veil of warmth, disguising his vicious original appearance as a good man and a good man. With a smile and humility, he showed his plundering nature bit by bit.

Qi carried out a naked force plunder on Chu. Wherever he passed, blood flowed into a river and was barely over the land. However, the Ming Dynasty launched another plunder on Chu. Wherever the power of the Ming Dynasty went, it seemed that it would drive economic development, market prosperity, and the living standards of the people were further improved, injecting a stabilizer into the dying Chu State, but this was based on the power of the Ming people. When the Ming people were malicious, it could make the local people live in a very short time.

The latter type of plunder is much more brilliant than the former type, and what the Ming people are fighting for with Qi people now is the heart of the Chu people. When that day really comes, the Chu State can gain the support of the vast majority of Chu people without bloodshed, thus completing another form of annexation.

When Min Ruoxi set off from Shangjing to return to the Ming Dynasty, Qin Feng also got on the railroad car from Fengxian. After passing the first seventh for Wang Hou, he began to return to Beijing.

And in Fengxian County, Qin Feng saw Qianmian who had just arrived here without stopping.

Qianmian has been in charge of Qin's affairs for more than a year, and has hardly replied to the Ming Dynasty. He only used piece of information to show his existence. Qin Feng had not seen this former partner for almost a year.

"Thank you for your hard work, brother!" In the comfortable carriage, Qin Feng patted the little brother's shoulder intimately, "I haven't seen you for almost a year, but you're a little stronger."

Qianmian smiled at the ear of his mouth, "Your Majesty, I miss you so much this year. There are so many good brothers. I can't say how hard you are, but I'm happy."

Qin Feng laughed, "How do you feel when you come back this time?"

"Your Majesty, this feeling is deeper. What I have brought to me the greatest impression is change. Our Ming Dynasty seems to be changing faster and faster day by day. This trip came from Yongping County. Many places were clearly familiar to me, but when I saw each other, I could hardly recognize them. Every day, I could see the prosperous scene of my Ming Dynasty everywhere. Compared with Qin, it was one in the sky and one underground."

"Let's not talk about Qin State for now, how about this rail car?" Qin Feng patted the window.

"Comfortable." Qianmian grinned and said, "When I arrived in Shayang County, I was going to run to Fengxian quickly, but I didn't expect that I already had this rail car. Oh, I put myself flat and prepared to have a good sleep. After taking it, I had arrived in Fengxian before I woke up. This was much more comfortable than riding on a horse."

"You guy, I really didn't say the point." Qin Feng smiled and said, "The rail car is not for comfort, but for transportation capacity. The rail car we are riding today can carry thousands of soldiers, the weapons, equipment and logistics food and fodder they need at one time. In the past, how long does it take to transport so many things from Shayang County to Feng County, how many civilians, mules and horses need to be mobilized? How much loss does it take during the process? But now, all this will not be done."

Qianmian nodded repeatedly, "Your Majesty said it is just too short. If this rail car can be built to Zhaoguan, it would be wonderful. One day, we will start a war with the Qi people, and this rail car's energy source will constantly allow us to send supplies and soldiers to the front line, and in a short time, it will form a crushing force for the Qi people."

"There's another little bit!" The kitten next to him said with a smile: "Always, we don't need to maintain too many troops in Zhaoguan. Too many troops stationed on the border will require more consumption and more money and food. With this rail car, we can save this expense. Can Qi State do it? They must maintain a large number of troops on the front line."

"When will this road be repaired?" Qianmian's eyes lit up.

"Money, now it's a shortage of money!" Qin Feng smiled and said, "This one from Shayang to Fengxian was only more than one hundred miles, and it cost millions of taels of silver. This is not considered the normal maintenance and maintenance cost. From Fengxian to Zhaoguan, it crosses three counties, and even the straight-line distance is more than five hundred miles. If you really want to build it, it's a thousand miles long."

"This is not a tens of millions of taels of silver." Qianmian widened his eyes.

"I'm afraid it's not stopping!" said the kitten: "A route, various geological conditions, rivers, mountains and rivers, etc., will increase the cost exponentially."

Qianmian suddenly felt relieved, "Doesn't this mean we don't have money to cultivate? Is this empty talk a lot?"

"It's not that I'm happy, I must repair it. Thousand faces, and the accounts are not calculated like this." Qin Feng spread his hands: "It seems that tens of millions of taels of silver are indeed invested, but it is not taken out at one time. It will always take several years to build such a road. Moreover, such a road requires a lot of manpower and material resources when it is built. For the three counties of Yiyang, Wuling and Taoyuan, such a project can also drive the local economy, and a large number of labor unions can be used to make a lot of labor unions.

The local people earn more money, and the purchase of a large number of various materials will make the markets in these three counties prosper. So, this path is not just a money-consuming project, it is also a major project that can create employment and income for the local area. What will happen if the people make money? Of course, it will be spent, and the money will flow on the market, and the country will receive taxes from these flows. For us, it is to put money from the left pocket to the right pocket!"

"I'm afraid that more people will spend in this process," said Qianmian.

"That's right." Qin Feng laughed: "But who made money? They are my Ming people. They are rich, which is not a good thing for me. It doesn't matter if the country owes money. As long as we have the ability to make money, maintain the strength of the country, and have the ability to repay money, then what are we afraid of if we owe money every year?"

The kitten coughed lightly: "Qianmian, this is what Su Can wrote in Qian Lun. Have you not read it before?"

"Your Majesty gave me one, but I really don't have time to read it." Qianmian smiled embarrassedly. Su Can's money theory was not published publicly. In the Ming Dynasty, he even belonged to a banned book. After printing it in a small amount, it was for the officials of the Ming Dynasty to study. Qin Feng didn't want too many people to understand some targeted policies of the Ming Dynasty after reading this money theory. There are many smart people in this world, and some things always need to be covered for a while.

"I used to hear people say that the country is rich and the people are strong, and the country is rich and the country is always in the head, but now the treasury of the Ming Dynasty is often empty. When Su Kairong talks about this, he looks bitter and often laughs at himself as he owes a lot of money. But my Ming Dynasty looks better and better, which really makes me a little confused. If I have time to look back, I have to read the Money Theory carefully!" Qianmian said.

"The country is rich, not necessarily the court is rich!" Qin Feng laughed, "The people are rich, and this is also the country is rich. But speaking of this, our Ming Dynasty is still poor. For example, Kaiping County has not yet recovered, and the four counties in the north have a problem of food and clothing. Not to mention the newly recovered three counties of Yiyang, Wuling and Taoyuan. If you want the people to be rich, you will have a long way to go!"

"With Your Majesty's leadership, the country is prosperous and the people are strong, and it is just around the corner!" Qianmian said sincerely.
