Qin Liangyu looked at the tall city walls and the endless stream of people, and was filled with emotion. When he revisited the old place, he couldn't help but feel moved. A few years ago, he also brought troops north to guard the capital. Now, he was summoned by His Majesty the Emperor and brought troops north to the north again and came to this Beijing city again.

However, it is indeed very different from before. Now it is Emperor Chongzhen. Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has done several major things, sweeping away Wei's rebellion; and taking 10 million taels of silver to provide disaster relief, which is a huge matter, so that the emperor's reputation is very good among the people. Recently, there has been news that the great victory over the Eastern Barbarians in Liaodong has been excited by it.

After the report of the Governor's Office, Qin Liangyu had the time to enjoy the street scenery of the capital.

"Mom, the changes in this capital are so big! I haven't been here for a few years, so why does it seem like it has changed?"

The person who spoke was Qin Liangyu and his party. He was summoned by the emperor and traveled thousands of miles. After walking for half a year, he arrived at the capital from his hometown. Although he was covered in dust and exhausted, he was also buried by this very changing capital.

An old lady in her fifties and elegant manner, led a horse and walked on the answer in the capital with emotion. This was Qin Liangyu, who had just arrived in the capital.

Hearing his son's surprise, he turned around and smiled gracefully, "It's really a big change. I remember that the outer city was not as prosperous as before, but now there are houses everywhere and people everywhere, as if they have their own things to be busy with, which is very different from the previous two years." Qin Liangyu said with a smile. The impression of this outer city in Beijing gave Qin Liangyu a dilapidated place to live, but now, tall brick houses are neatly arranged, and people on the street are coming and going in a hurry, as if they have their own things to do, but they are different from when he came here a few years ago.

What Qin Liangyu saw was the factory that has just emerged in Beijing. Rows of brick houses are the factory buildings, including the glass yard of Liulizhai, the garment factory, the wardrobe, the carriage factory, etc. Some arsenals are also located here. Therefore, it seems that a large area of ​​such a neat house is quite shocking. The roads have been built, and the main roads are paved with bricks, which is much cleaner than before. It was almost noon, and it was already time for lunch. People in the factory hurriedly got off work, some went home for dinner, while others took advantage of the time to go out to do business, etc. The rushing crowd made Qin Liangyu and his party in the crowd surprised.

"Mom, it's almost noon. The child's stomach is so hungry that he roars. Let's go to have a meal. After dinner, go to Liulizhai, a master of Beijing. Now it is said that if you arrive in the capital, if you don't go to Liulizhai, you will come to Beijing for nothing. Mom, the place we used to live is not far from Liulizhai. Just so happened that after seeing Liulizhai, I went home." Qin Liangyu's son Ma Xianglin shouted. The biggest view in the capital now is the glass wall of the street of Liulizhai. Its value is worth more than one million taels, so that men, women, young and old in the capital will take their families to see this rare wonder in a century.

Qin Liangyu smiled elegantly and said, "Okay! I also heard that this Liulizhai is a must-visit place in the capital. I also want to see what it is. It just so happens that our house is not far from Liulizhai, so I just go and have a look. It's still a little early to have lunch now. After seeing it, it's not too late to go to eat!"

Qin Liangyu was a regular deputy general of the Ming Dynasty and a real general officer. He was naturally well-informed about the movements of the court. He knew what Liulizhai now represents. It is estimated that most of the money used to provide the entire army to fight against the Donglu. Qin Liangyu really admired the emperor's ability to make money.

I remembered the 100,000 taels of silver given by the emperor. She had fought for the Ming Dynasty several times before and traveled all over the country, but she had never encountered such a thing. Most of the time, she needed to prepare food by herself, recruit soldiers by herself, and even everything was prepared by herself. This time the emperor was generous and gave him 100,000 taels of silver at one time as the cost of the excavation, which made Qin Liangyu feel warm. On the way she came, she was more generous and could give the soldiers some meat from time to time. She lived a very good life.

It was a "high-ranking man" day, but the soldiers were very happy. They all said it was worth it. Qin Liangyu's curiosity about the emperor was not only increased. Gradually, he learned from various sources such as the diary that the other two teams transferred to guard the capital were treated by the new army. It is said that they were very good and could get three taels of silver in a month, which surprised Qin Liangyu even more. Although the emperor had always treated him well, it was really incredible to be able to give such high military salary.

"Mom, mom..." A young woman behind Qin Liangyu walked up and shouted, interrupting Qin Liangyu's thoughts.

"Feng'er, what's wrong?" Qin Liangyu asked gently. The person who was asking was Qin Liangyu's daughter-in-law Zhang Fengyi.

"...Mom, look, look! So beautiful!" Zhang Fengyi screamed in surprise and pointed it at Qin Liangyu.

Qin Liangyu looked over from a distance and was also shocked! He heard from the newspaper that Liulizhai was a street made of glass, but when he arrived at the real scene, he was shocked! The originally inconspicuous alley has now become a very open street. The original house has been pushed to a wide square, with floor tiles laid on the square, and the legendary glass street is facing the square, and the whole bright glass wall is dazzling.

"Mom! I have to buy Feng'er a big mirror later, but I agreed..." Zhang Fengyi wanted to go to Liulizhai to take a look immediately.

Qin Liangyu looked at her wife's appearance and smiled slightly.

On the streets, four-wheeled carriages came and went, and they passed by Qin Liangyu and his group from time to time, giving Qin Liangyu a little "strangeness". The changes in the capital were really too big.

This group of people, holding war horses, wearing long swords and waist swords, obviously had the "killing spirit" on their bodies. They were leading the troops to fight at first sight, but the leader was a gentle woman. This identity was not unfamiliar with them in the capital.

Shen Fuyuan is now a Jinyiwei Qianhu, who is responsible for protecting Liulizhai. He naturally cares about the safety of Liulizhai. Now, with the expansion of Liulizhai, the territory he manages is already the entire Liulichang. The people coming and going of this Liulichang all day long are a must-visit place for people all over the world after entering Beijing. There are many people, so closely watching the safety of Liulichang has become Shen Fuyuan's top priority. He has arranged many people in Liulichang to monitor the situation.

I heard a special group of people coming from the street. The group of people with murderous aura seemed to have been on the battlefield and fought hard battles. The leader was a woman in her fifties, and there was also a one-eyed dragon among them. This special group immediately attracted Chen Fuyuan to pay attention.

"Really?" Chen Fuyuan heard the report from his subordinates, and after thinking about it for a moment, he understood who this was.

"Sir, this is definitely not wrong. The pedestrian is covered in bloody smell and murderous aura. If it weren't for the sun's strong noon, the young man would have thought it was an evil ghost in hell that rushed out. Fortunately, the leading old lady in her fifties was very majestic and looked like a good person at first sight, otherwise she would have scared the young man to death." Chen Fuyuan's subordinate said with jealousy.

"Okay, I know, look at your little thing, you are not promising. That is the signing of the governor of the Ming Dynasty. Mrs. Qin, the general officer, is not an evil ghost. What are you saying... But the emperor was transferred to guard the capital without any trouble and blood. Can you get into the eyes of His Majesty's master? Go, go, go, ask the brothers to greet you very much. Don't have conflicts, and you must treat them well. In addition, report to the shopkeeper..." Chen Fuyuan is the hereditary general, and he knows the most about the matter in the capital. A few years ago, this old lady Qin was famous in the capital. Therefore, when she heard that she was the leader of the female general and a majestic old man in her fifties, she immediately understood that this was the emperor's troops. As a member of the imperial party, he naturally could not neglect the "Imperial party".

Qin Liangyu and his group were all holding war horses, occupying half of the street, but no one came out to interfere. In the past, Chen Fuyuan's people would definitely come out to maintain order.

Chen Fuyuan did not avoid it, and walked directly to Qin Liangyu and his group, bowed respectfully, and said, "I'm going down to Chen Fuyuan, how dare you ask if it's the Governor Qin, Mrs. Qin?"

Qin Liangyu looked at the young man in front of him with some surprise and said, "Dare you ask?"

"I've seen Mrs. Qin in Shen Fuyuan." Chen Fuyuan had already confirmed that this is Mrs. Qin. He had met Qin Liangyu when he was a servant before, but he knew Qin Liangyu, but Qin Liangyu didn't know him.

"Oh! Lucky! I'm so kind! I'm so kind." Qin Liangyu smiled gracefully. She was also a real-time chief officer and soldier. The court's information was naturally well-informed. I heard of this young man who was in charge of the emperor's huge wealth in the capital, and I immediately reported it.

"Governor Qin has arrived in the capital! Your Majesty has been waiting for it for many days..." Chen Fuyuan felt that this was a bit unsuitable for his identity, and then said, "... Governor wants to go to Liulizhai, so why not just lead the way?"

Qin Liangyu smiled gently, without refusing, and said, "Then I'll have a hard time."

Lord Shen? Chen Fuyuan felt that he hadn't heard someone call him Lord Shen for a long time. He almost forgot that he was still a Jinyiwei Qianhu. He liked this identity more. He was not an official, and the people were not a civilian. Even if the Shangshu saw him, he had to smile. He was a celebrity around the emperor and was in charge of the emperor's industry of tens of millions of taels of silver. It was much better than his Qianhu's identity.

"I dare not, I dare not. I remember that the governor lived outside Xuanwu Gate before, so now, I should live there." Chen Fuyuan said.

"That's right, now that you are summoned by Your Majesty, you are still stationed outside Xuanwu Gate, just like before." Qin Liangyu said with a smile, giving people a very calm feeling.

"Haha, it's not that I'm hyping. Now the Liulichang is much more prosperous than before." Chen Fuyuan said.

Qin Liangyu was originally curious about the huge changes in the capital. When Chen Fuyuan talked about the prosperity of the capital, he felt that Chen Fuyuan might be able to solve his own doubts. Why has the changes been so big in just a few years? Or, in other words, the changes were so big in just one year, at least before the current emperor ascended the throne, this area was still the same as before.

"Mr. Shen, I'm curious, why did the changes in this capital have so great? Who is the masterpiece of the rows of large brick houses in the outer city, built with momentum? What's the use? I'm seeing many people in the houses, can Lord Shen solve their doubts for me?" Qin Liangyu asked with a smile. This question has always been lingering in Qin Liangyu's heart. In the mansion, she only knew that His Majesty the Emperor had given out 10 million taels of silver to provide disaster relief and reissue millions of silver. He even fought with the Donglu outside the pass. The money spent was so spent, Qin Liangyu's impression of the emperor and his impression of the capital became increasingly blurred. When he arrived in the capital, he saw this new change scene, which made Qin Liangyu feel that the capital was very strange.

"Governor, this is all His Majesty's contribution. Today, there are endless disasters and no harvest in the fields. Countless people are displaced, they have no home or a living. Your Majesty does not want to see these people displaced, so they built many workshops today to find a place for the people to make a living so that the people will not be displaced... The large brick houses that the Governor had seen before were the workshops built by His Majesty, including glass yards, garment factories, cloak yards, spinning mills, carriage factories, etc., and some of them are places set up by military battles..." Chen Fuyuan explained.

After hearing this, Qin Liangyu resolved the doubts in his heart a little and nodded silently.

"No wonder, Mom, why did I not see beggars when I came to this capital? So that's it! Your Majesty is really a holy virtue, it's so amazing!" Zhang Fengyi said suddenly.

Qin Liangyu smiled when he heard this. No wonder this capital is so strange. In the past, in the capital, especially outside the city and outside the city, there were many people who fled to famine when the famine was in the famine. But this year, although it was a year of famine, there were obviously few people who beg for food, and the famine was not as sad as before.

"Your Majesty is so kind. The people of the world are blessed." Qin Liangyu said calmly. After saying that, he asked again: "Mr. Shen, I want to ask, can that garment factory be the place to make clothes for 800,000 border troops?" Qin Liangyu suddenly asked. The weather was getting colder and the problem of winter in winter had already been put forward. Although judging from the current situation, his treatment for entering Beijing this time will not be low, but I have never seen the emperor, and my heart is still hanging. If the emperor does not give him the treatment of the new army, he will have to prepare winter clothes for her soldiers. At that time, thousands of sets of cotton coats and quilts may be needed. If possible, I can buy some through an acquaintance, which can be cheaper. There is not much money on hand.

"Hahaha..., this is not something I should have said, but since the governor asked, I will say it... The governor is actually very relieved. Your Majesty has always been generous to others. The governor has traveled thousands of miles to guard the capital. Will Your Majesty ask you to be frozen and hungry? Hehe, those 800,000 sets of cotton coats are not only from the border army, but also from the capital camp. They started to transport them to the border a month ago. Like the Manchu Governor, they will definitely join Your Majesty's new army, and they will definitely be treated as a new army, such as cotton coats, food, garrison, and money. The governor doesn't have to worry about it at all... Your Majesty will make arrangements... Hehe, Governor, these words should not be said in the next place, but have already surpassed them. Haha, Governor, please don't be surprised, and I hope Hai's forgiveness..." Chen Fuyuan said with a smile.

"That's thank you Lord Shen." Qin Liangyu felt relieved after hearing Chen Fuyuan's words. What this emperor's confidant said should not be fake. The emperor has indeed changed, and the capital has indeed changed, and it has become different from before.

Chen Fuyuan smiled and bowed, saying that he shouldn't have said these things, but Qin Liangyu was with him, but the imperial party. Since His Majesty values ​​her so much, it doesn't matter if he says something to go out.

"The Liulichang Street that the governor saw now is the absurd Glass Street that outsiders said. It was just a small alley and a mud road. Now, it is covered with maze. The spacious place is the former Liulichang. Now, it has been taken over by my shopkeeper and is preparing to build a larger square..." Chen Fuyuan personally led the way, and while walking, he introduced the situation of Liulichang.

"This Liulichang is indeed well-known! Such a long street, with glass walls facing the streets, it is really the best in the world. When I see it, I am surprised!" The more I look at this Liulichang, Qin Liangyu felt more at ease. The more powerful the Liulichang is, the better the Liulichang is, the more it means that the emperor is rich and the emperor is rich. I hope that at least the cotton coats for the winter this year will not have to squeeze out silver, but they are much wider at hand.

"The Governor has won the award!" Chen Fuyuan was very proud, and he also had his contribution.

"...Well, that Lord Shen, your shopkeeper is that..." Zhang Fengyi suddenly asked. Liulizhai's shopkeeper is a woman, which is another reason why the legend of Liulizhai has lasted forever.

"Feng'er!" Qin Liangyu saw his daughter-in-law asking about the emperor's private affairs, and smiled and reminded her daughter-in-law.

"Haha, it's okay, Governor, you are your own person. The business of my boss is not a shameful thing. To be honest, can ordinary people do such a big business in this capital? My boss controls Liulizhai for His Majesty, so His Majesty naturally trusts him." Chen Fuyuan was not taboo in front of Qin Liangyu.

Qin Liangyu muttered in his heart that many things in the capital have changed, and he has lost recognition. Perhaps some things have not changed. The water in the capital is very deep, and the wind is probably coming. Although he is a little melancholy in his heart, he still feels very elegant.

"Really? Miss Sun is really a hero among girls! Mom, let's go and meet Miss Sun. Feng'er really wants to meet this hero!" Zhang Fengyi admires Sun Liniang so much. How can a woman be in charge of thousands of dollars?

"Feng'er..." Qin Liangyu said elegantly.

"Haha, old lady, it's okay. My shopkeeper also admires the governor very much and wants to see the old lady. He has always admired the old lady as a heroine..." Chen Fuyuan said.
