Chapter 858

Jingzhou.

After reading his daughter's letter, Huainan Wang sighed slightly. Then he picked up the letter from his eldest son Cui Shangan.

To his surprise, as the future king of Huainan, Cui Shangan did not show any dissatisfaction in his letter. On the contrary, he advised him to go to Beijing in person to discuss the matter with the emperor.

One of them is his daughter, the other is his eldest son. They will not harm him. In the letter, they all told him in detail the strength of the royal family.

The king of Huainan is not a fool. The victory of the northern expedition has made him clear the gap between himself and the royal family. The barbarians who were able to make the state of Dayu invincible were defeated in a few months. What weight does he have to fight against the royal family.

"Pack up your things. I'm going to Beijing." The king of Huainan said to the housekeeper that he had a decision in his heart.

The next day, a team of cavalry of 1000 people set out from Jingzhou and went to Qingzhou.

Ten days later, the team arrived at the foot of Qingzhou City.

"Father."

Cui Shangan got the news ahead of time and had been waiting for the door. When he saw his father, his eyes suddenly turned red.

The king of Huainan looks at Cui Shangan in military uniform. He has more general temperament than when he was in Huainan.

Down from the horse, the king of Huainan came to Cui Shangan, patted him heavily on the shoulder and said, "it's said that the Royal Army can train people best. It seems that this is true."

Cui Shangan said with a smile, "my father is right. There is no general in the army who treats my son as the son of Huainan king. They treat ordinary soldiers and nobles alike."

"That's why the emperor can defeat the barbarians easily." Huainan Wang said sincerely.

If he was still dissatisfied when he was in Huainan, now he has no temper at all.

In order to measure the strength of the royal family, this time he specially observed the changes in the royal land.

It can be said that he was shocked almost all the time along the way.

Two years after the end of the Northern War, amazing changes are taking place in the lands of Yan and Wei.

Unknowingly, the production team implemented in Qingzhou has covered these places. Under the management of the production team, the land that had been abandoned due to war is rejuvenated.

No matter in the countryside or in the counties, the influence of the haos is rapidly declining, and even many haos have become no different from the rich families of the common people.

And this is not the most surprising place for him. With the rise of production teams, a large number of public enterprises have been established in these places.

In order to encourage poor people to enter gongshue, the imperial court is now fully responsible for the cost of gongshue. It is free to enter gongshue for study, and even the printed books are free.

This policy makes the state power of Chongqing and the people stand at the same starting point, and the selection of talents will be decided by the examination.

As a vassal, he saw the strength of this policy at a glance, and from then on, the children of poor families will have more opportunities to prosper.

However, this is only the basic thing in the village and county now. After he entered Jinling City, he found something more important, which is all kinds of machinery that he had never seen before.

When he was in Jinling City, he specially stayed for one day. On that day, accompanied by officials from Jinling City, he visited the workshop area of Jinling City under construction.

There, he saw the steam engine driven textile workshop, ginning workshop, sugar workshop, wine workshop, and Jinling City's large shipbuilding workshop under construction.

After leaving Jinling City, he went all the way north. In Laiwu, he saw the railway which was about to open to traffic.

Along the railway, he came to Qingzhou. On the way, he saw the steam locomotive being tested. This huge iron and steel object roared past, which scared him a lot.

After arriving in Qingzhou, the prosperity and magic made him give up his last fantasy.

Because he realized that compared with the current imperial court, Huainan was a gap between a rich city and a poor village.

He finally understood that the emperor was not afraid of their force, but did not want to fight each other again.

"Father, you..." Cui Shangan looked at his father in surprise. There was a trace of relief in his eyes.

When father and son were together, suddenly a carriage came from the city. The carriage stopped to show King Yong's face.

"Huainan king, don't be too fussy. I'm waiting to meet the emperor with you these days. After all, I have some confidence." Cried King Yong.

The king of Huainan had no choice but to smile. "Along the way, I have no confidence. Let's go. It's better to bump into the sun. Today we'll meet the emperor."

After that, they went to the palace together.

At this time, Xiao Ming had learned the news that the king of Huainan had arrived in Qingzhou. He said to Qian Dafu, "prepare for lunch. At noon today, I say I can't have a glass of wine to release my military power."Qian Dafu said with a smile: "the three vassal kings have already expressed their intention to enter Beijing in person. This time, the emperor's wish has come true."

Xiao Ming's face showed a thick smile, "this time has been silent Ruyang king also came, the three kings solved, the cut vassal will be successful."

Qian Dafu laughed for a while, then turned and left.

Half an hour later, Xiao Ming received the news that the three kings asked for an audience. He came to Baifu hall, where he met the three people this time.

After sitting in Baifu hall, Huainan king, Yong king and Ruyang King arrived under the guidance of eunuchs.

When they saw Xiao Ming, they all said, "long live my emperor, long live, long live."

"No gift." Xiao Ming now has the dignity of an emperor. He invited them to the banquet, and then said, "the arrival of the king of Huainan, the king of Yong, and the king of Ruyang really surprised me. In order to reward the three, I specially prepared Qingzhou delicacies to satisfy them."

King Yong was no stranger to Qingzhou. Naturally, he knew the taste of Qingzhou food, so he couldn't help swallowing. "The emperor is polite, but this Qingzhou food is the best in the world. I always wanted to stay here every time I came here. Unfortunately, as a vassal, I couldn't stay in Kyoto for too long, but soon I would be able to enjoy myself in Qingzhou freely."

"Uncle Wang's words are obvious. Since Uncle Wang likes Qingzhou, I welcome him. Maybe he will have a partner to talk with later." Xiao Ming and King Yong's eyes met, and they basically reached a consensus.

Just now, King Yong's words have revealed a clear meaning, that is, he wants to give up the feudalism and become a carefree prince in Qingzhou.

He naturally welcomed Xiao Ming. After all, King Yong's feudalism was too close to Qingzhou, and he was rich in resources, which opened up the place and made the North smooth.
