Zhang Xiaobao looked at the scene on the river outside and nodded with satisfaction: "The development is indeed good. As a big river for water transportation, the transformation and maintenance of the Yellow River must be further strengthened. I don't want to see it lose its role in water transportation."

Wang Juan nodded, and she knew very well what Zhang Xiaobao was talking about. The Yellow River was always broken at that time. In some places, it was raining heavily and affected by disasters, and in some places it could wade through the middle of the river. The dry and flood seasons were not so regular, but the result was that it wanted to not have this river. No, I wanted to make good use of it, no.

The train conductor sighed: "It's great. Thinking about the past, I didn't dare to think about the day I dreamed of going out, and who would dream of going out without having to walk with dry food or hiring a donkey cart to spend a lot of money.

With such a train, a train can attract a lot of people. The tickets seem to be expensive, but they save time. They really make good calculations. They are cheaper than walking with dry food. The most important thing is that they are safer. They are much more at ease than doing it yourself and running to the wilderness at night.

It means that everyone's life is better. I have been a chariot leader for three years and have never seen anyone who is not covered in clothes. Because there is no famine, the government has already arranged it. The people have work to do, have things to do, and have children to study. I have to think about this day before going to bed every day, and be happy in my heart for a while."

"Look at that boat, the green flag, someone flying a kite, and he is still a child, but don't be pulled by the kite and fall down, I don't have time to save it."

Xiao Bei also looked at it, and suddenly pointed to the boat on the river. A child was standing on the deck flying kites. Smoke was rising in another place. It was probably not a fire, but someone was eating barbecue. Life was good.

Liu Yan was dissatisfied with the words of the two people, and snorted, saying, "What I said is that if we don't fight and put all the money into this place, the people's lives will be better than now. I heard that the Ministry of Works has made good things, except for the officials in the capital, the army of the Tang Dynasty is using them. The kind that is better than steam engines, so why not use them on merchant ships?"

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. Do you think your brothers and sisters want to fight, but you can't fight?" Xiao Hai, who had always disliked talking, finally couldn't help but speak.

"You only know that there is a new machine. Do you know what new machines use to work? It is oil, which is made from oil. If you eat more oil, they can deliver it to us if you don't fight it. Look at the oil of my Tang Dynasty, it's hard to dig.

My brothers and sisters also said that the quality of oil in the Tang Dynasty was worse than that of more cannibals. Also, fighting was to divert domestic conflicts. You only saw the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. Didn’t you analyze the hidden dangers behind the prosperity? You are a hidden danger. Do dirty things with the slogan of developing the economy, hum!"

"Don't new things burn coal?" Liu Yan really didn't know the secret of the Ministry of Works and asked in confusion, his voice was much smaller and he lacked confidence.

"Burning coal? Apart from the steam engine, what else can be used for coal? Coal is not very effective." Xiaohai gave Liu Yan a disdainful look.

Zhang Xiaobao coughed and said, "Xiaohai, this coal can actually be used on other machines. First of all, we have to process the coal first and wait for our Tang Dynasty technology to come up. You will see it, you will."

"Oh, you can use it." Xiaohai seemed a little embarrassed. He just finished teaching someone a lesson, but only then he realized that the lesson was wrong.

Zhang Xiaobao said to Liu Yan again: "Your grade is not enough, so I will not explain many things to you, and there is no need to do that. As long as you know that Juanjuan and I think longer than you, the national economic development is a game of chess, and we play the people, and there is no chance to go back. Juanjuan and I need support and trust, not stabbing the knife in the back.

We hurried back because of the emergence of some local officials like you. Compared with foreign wars, you are the ones that worry us the most. We never thought we would lose the war, but there would be major problems with the local people's livelihood in China.

After all, this is a society ruled by individuals. The most helpless thing is that orders from top to bottom cannot be done. Local officials are using their own small plans and seeking various excuses to harm the people. In the end, even if they kill him, it will be useless. Therefore, your mind is the most hateful."

Many things cannot be eliminated at all, so we can only try our best to minimize losses. The salaries of officials must be increased, and the patrol officers must be sent to the public continuously, and one person will be caught.

"Yes. The most hateful thing is that anyone who is caught by Xiaobao and Juanjuan is hateful." The conductor echoed.

For him, it doesn’t matter what mistake the officials arrested in front of him made. What’s important is who arrested him? Can Xiaobao and Juanjuan still catch the wrong person?

After pausing, the train conductor said again: "You official. Don't pretend to be clear. Xiaobao and Juanjuan are much better than you. You are much older than them. Why is it not for you to improve the lives of the people? Do you think the weapons are easy to use now. What if others do it? I can't talk to you, don't be dissatisfied."

After teaching Liu Yan a lesson, the train conductor who had already seen Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan leave happily, and he had people from other cars to take care of him.

Other cars are not like here, with people full. Even the aisle is crowded with a lot of people, and some people are getting under the seats.

When it comes to dinner, the whole carriage is full of various flavors, but even so, there are still many people taking the train. Compared to walking by themselves, from Luoyang to Beijing, it is still faster to take the train, and it takes one month to get there.

The commander in charge of a train is very satisfied with his work. He can see people from all over the world every day when he runs around. He hears them talk about things in various places and gains a lot of knowledge.

The most important thing is that you have a little power to arrange a good location for your acquaintances. You don’t even have to buy tickets. When you are in an empty place, you can buy some goods from two places to sell, which is an additional income.

The train conductor thought like this. The more he thought about it, the happier he became. He hummed a song that had changed many times. He pushed his water truck and planned to serve other passengers in person today.

He didn't know that his behavior was exactly what Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan had no choice but to do it like him, but he couldn't do it. Every person in society would find a way to use his power as much as possible, even if he was just a person who was guarding the door.

Not to mention officials, but the harm of officials is greater than that of a car leader.

After having two meals in the car, the train finally arrived in the capital in the middle of the night. It could have been faster, but when other cars were inserted, and time was wasted.

"That's great, brother, look, there are another group of people. There are words on their chests. Who is it?"

"Ah? I have a word, let me see, my god. Jinwu Guard? Brother, that's the Jinwu Guard. I'm wrong. I was wrong before. The Iron Cavalry Camp was not here to catch people, but to pick them up." The man was surprised and his voice trembled.

The other man also opened his mouth, swallowed his saliva after a while, and asked, "Who are you picking up? The Emperor is here?"

"Absolutely, otherwise what will Jinwu Guard come out to do? Receive... Medieval Protection Team? I know who to pick up. Did you read the newspaper a few days ago? I said Xiaobao and Juanjuan were back. I guess that when I arrived in the capital today, His Majesty might be anxious, so he came here in person. It's midnight, when will I come back? Just send a seventh-rank official to greet him."

"Brother, don't count on it. Tell me if I can see Xiaobao and Juanjuan with my own eyes in a while? I have never seen a real person. I saw His Majesty in the movie. It would be great if Xiaobao and Juanjuan were also filmed."

"We have to see which lane to enter. There are two in total. If you are lucky, you may be able to take a look away. You have to stay away. If you are far away, you will be able to get close. There are many people at the station. If anyone has bad intentions, it will be bad."

"I know, if you let me get closer, I won't go."

Li Longji is really here. He is idle and has nothing to do. He just happened to get news that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan came. When he thought about not being able to sleep, he asked Gao Lishi to organize people and go to the train station to greet him, asking about the situation outside, and at the same time it shows his importance to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.

As a result, as soon as he came out, other officials also received news that whether they were sleeping or doing other things, they all got up one after another, dressed up, and came to the station. The emperor attached great importance to it, and who would dare to stay at home?

Of course, all the officials from the fifth rank or above came, and they all wanted to see what changes had happened between Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan who had been away for a long time.

The benefits of war have been reflected, first of all, slaves. Before the war has ended, more than 160,000 slaves were sent to various dangerous mining areas.

Then there were the meat and fur of various animals. The meat was salty, very salty and salty. No one liked it to eat it, but it was hunted from a distant place. It felt different when eaten. The first batch had been shipped to the capital, and each family had some.

In fact, it is those who are qualified to participate in the Grand Court meeting that deeply feel the speed of domestic economic development recently, especially the statistics obtained last month. Many people who participated in labor training in the early stage have begun to play a role.

Work efficiency is significantly different from before. In some places, the grain output has also increased. Where is the data on autumn harvest?

Not to mention the distance, I only saw the capital city, and went to nearby workshops, docks and stations to see it. It was a busy scene, and there were almost no idle people.

I originally thought that the domestic economy would stagnate or temporarily regress during the war. I didn’t expect that as the war broke out, the domestic economy would increase even more, different from the previous wars.

It seems that it should consume domestic resources, but the result is that it will increase domestic production capacity. It is magical. As Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan said, active and controlled war can promote domestic economic prosperity. In the process of war, it not only consumes materials, but also adds new jobs and accelerates the transformation of production technology into productivity.

That's right, just like what they said, domestic production efficiency was indeed low before, and it was not fully developed. Only with consumption can there be production, and only with production can there be active people looking for technology.

"It looks very simple, right?" Li Longji also told the people next to him about this while waiting for the train to arrive.

Standing next to him was Yu Wen Rong who had not returned home tonight but stayed at the Secretariat of the Second Sect. He happened to be together when he came out.

Yu Wenrong pondered for a moment and shook his head: "It's not simple. It's really good to calculate the time. As soon as the war is fought there, the country's national policy will be passed. Twelve items are issued early and there will be no effect. If it is issued late, it will be chaotic. Use war to drive demand and transfer new contradictions that arise in the domestic economic development process.

If Xiaobao didn't propose it, I wouldn't think of it anyway. Now all industries in the Tang Dynasty are sorted out, as long as they want to do things, everyone has something to do, and it is easier for local officials to manage the local area. As long as they don't make any tricks and deal with them according to normal economic development, they can wait for the increase in fiscal revenue this year.

At the same time, I drove into the army to be a conscript for a while. There are fewer idle people in my daily life. With the promotion of your movie, the people's hearts have become more stable."

Li Longji listened and smiled. He knew that the treasury this year would be more abundant, and he could take it out for local infrastructure construction, road construction, bridge construction, etc., and subsidize part of the medical treatment and part of the education. Who dares to say that he is not a wise ruler?

Has anyone in history done this way? Is there any?

The more I thought about Li Longji, the happier I was. I asked Yuwen Rong again: "What else should I do now?"

"The policy of high salaries and integrity must be carried out, and inspections must be sent to the public. If you catch them, you will be sentenced to a heavy sentence. I have discussed this matter with other colleagues. The most dangerous thing now is not the corruption of officials. But for political achievements, I will work hard to take projects without considering the local situation.

As a result, the money was invested and the people were mobilized. In the end, no corresponding benefits appeared. Instead, it was unreasonable projects that were used up and the people were tired in vain. What they lost was not just the money of the court and the people, but the people's hearts. They cheated the people a few times. In the future, the government would never believe it again if they wanted to organize them to do things.

Another one is a telegram sent by Xiaobao during the Hongnong time. Liu Yan is eager to show himself and achieve his achievements. He even dared to overturn the plan Xiaobao set for the local area. Isn’t this crazy?

Since Xiaobao's plan is always about to overthrow, let alone other officials. Therefore, the minister and other colleagues feel that the evaluation rules should be re-formulated, not to say how much the finances of a local official have increased in a local area, or how fast the currency is flowing.

It should be that when you were a local official, how many valuable local resources were used, how much income the people had increased, how many people had not found jobs, and just wanted to use data to prove that you had good grades. We do not agree with it."

Yuwen Rong said a lot. He knew that this was his business. If he waited for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to mention it, he would be dereliction of duty. The two of them had a good foundation. Should they leave all the remaining things to them? Then why do they have to do as the Zhongshu Ling?

Li Longji was satisfied with Yu Wenrong's answer and said, "A new era has begun, and new problems will arise in the new era. You must think carefully and manage the people who manage people well, and the world will be peaceful."

"Your Majesty said very much. I usually study more and often analyze with my colleagues that if I had sat in this position ten years ago and suddenly the current development of the Tang Dynasty suddenly appeared, I would have resigned directly. I would not understand the complex correlation between industry and policies.

For example, if the land is changed, the minister will think of making changes, allowing the fugitives to re-enroll and give them land to farm, and the rent of newly opened land will be reduced.

However, now if I ask you, I will not solve the land problem solely, but will start from other aspects at the same time, just like the twelve national policies brought out by Xiaobao.

This shows that my thinking has changed, and people in various industries have also changed their thinking. If you cannot keep up with the speed of this change and prepare in advance, once a problem occurs, it will be difficult to solve it.

Therefore, the new era is good, and the problems faced are more complicated. We officials need to further improve their abilities and levels, and we must study hard."

Yu Wenrong analyzed the current situation again, and the expression on his face was very serious.

Li Longji no longer smiled, and he also knew that the Tang Dynasty was developing too fast at the moment, especially when some technology was converted to civilian use, various problems would arise, and sometimes he would suddenly wake up when he was sleeping, thinking that this was a dream.

Gao Lishi next to him suddenly spoke, breaking the heavy atmosphere at this moment: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Xiaobao and Juanjuan are not old yet."

"Yes, Li Shi is right, and Xiaobao and Juanjuan are there. I found that they were not tired of controlling them. They were at ease and had every step of the way. What should I arrange for them this time?"

Li Longji felt relieved, but began to worry about setting a seat for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.

Not only him, but the officials in the court were like this.

When there was silence, the roar of trains came from afar.
