Chapter 658

Last night, there was another night of rain. The successive rains made the city of Beijing, which still had some residual heat, suddenly turn cold. Yang Reform felt that he could not sleep well in the middle of the night, and woke up several times.

As soon as he woke up today, Yang Reform was a little absent-minded, and he often lost his mind when correcting notebooks and homework.It is said that one leaf knows autumn, but Yang Reform sees winter from autumn.

After grading some notebooks and homework, Yang Reform was still absent-minded, sighed, and couldn't let go of the things on his mind.

"Big companion..." Yang Reform called out.

"The servant is here." Wang Chengen heard the emperor's call and hurried over to serve him.

"I remember it rained again last night?" Yang Reform asked?

"Return to Your Majesty, it is indeed raining, and it is not too small, and the north wind is blowing..." Wang Chengen replied with some puzzlement, it is raining indeed, and the ground outside is not yet dry.

"Let's go, let's go to the palace garden to have a look..." Yang Reform put down his pen and said, absent-minded, he really didn't have the heart to work.

"Slave obeys the order!" Wang Chengen quickly agreed, it is rare for the emperor to go to the back garden of the palace!
……

Palace Garden.

It wasn't the first time Yang Reform came here, so he was familiar with it.

Walking into the palace back garden, I saw that a gust of wind and rain last night had blown off an unknown number of leaves, and the autumn atmosphere was already very strong.

Yang Reform walked in the autumnal palace garden, thinking about other things.

"One leaf knows the autumn!..." Yang Reform picked up a somewhat yellowed leaf from the ground and exclaimed.

"Return to Your Majesty, it's a bit cold now..." Wang Chengen didn't know what the emperor was thinking, so he could only reply to the emperor like this, this is not a leaf, but a leaf on the ground, even if there are eunuchs cleaning it, But the leaves are still falling continuously, so what is there to tell the autumn.

"That's right! It's really cold, it should be said that Yiye Zhidong is more appropriate!" Yang Reform sighed again.Seeing the fallen leaves, what Yang Reform actually thought of was not autumn, nor was it to praise autumn, but lamented that winter was coming.Being an emperor really doesn't have time for windy nights, and he always lives much earlier than the people of the world. The people of the world are still living in autumn, but Yang Reform is thinking about winter.

"Your Majesty..." Wang Chengen was very puzzled, isn't it Yiye Zhiqiu?Why is it winter again?It seems that there is no such thing as Yiye Zhidong!
"I heard that Tang Ruowang's house has been repaired?" Yang Huami said suddenly.

"...Reporting to Your Majesty, it is indeed repaired. However, the outside looks fine, but the interior decoration is not yet complete. Your Majesty wants to see it?" Wang Chengen didn't turn his head for a while, the emperor's words changed too much. Soon.

"Oh, is it? I remember that I haven't been out of the palace for a long time. If I have time today, I will go out..." Yang Reform said thoughtfully. Everyone in the world knows the autumn from a leaf, but Yang Reform really wants to "one leaf" Ye Zhidong", or "One Night Knowing Winter", has to prepare for this coming winter.As an emperor, not only do you have to make decisions on major issues, but you also have to pay attention to these small details that are related to the lives of ordinary people, and you have to pay more attention. The ancients said that "governing a big country is like cooking a small fish." Yang Reform is very important now. I can understand this sentence.

"Observe the decree! The servants are going to prepare now..." Wang Chengen saw that the emperor was going out of the palace to relax, so he immediately went to arrange it, and felt sorry for the emperor. The emperor has been shutting himself in the palace recently, and he didn't go there, just because he was bored broken.

……

He was out of the palace, and Yang Reform hadn't been out of the palace for a long time, so he asked Wang Chengen to walk around the street a few more times.

There are obviously more carriages on this street than before, and people are denser than before. Yang Reform raised the curtains and looked at the flow of people outside through the glass. The houses, pavements, and whether the streets are deserted or not can be regarded as having a considerable understanding. What impressed Yang Reform deeply is that in the past, it seemed that several places were the courtyard walls of other people's houses, but now they have been changed into facades. The shop facing the street, Apparently more than before, basically all open.It seems that relying on the absorbing power of the city to absorb more people into the city and relieve the pressure on the countryside has indeed succeeded. Beijing, the largest city in the East, has indeed played an important role in absorbing the remaining rural population. Yiye Knowing autumn, through the flow of people in these streets, there are a few extra shops, and you can probably feel something.

Yang Reform kept raising the curtains, observing the movement on the street, and carefully comparing the differences with the past, hoping to find some answers in these differences.

After turning around a few times, Yang Reform said: "Housekeeper, let's go to Liulizhai." After seeing the changes in the capital, Yang Reform was ready to go to Liulizhai.

"Yes, my lord!" Wang Chengen replied.Immediately, the carriage rushed to Liulizhai.

……

When approaching Liulizhai, the Western building ordered by Yang Reform is indeed more eye-catching, and it can be seen from a long distance, and a big clock stands on a high place, which is very conspicuous.

"10:30 am?" Yang Reform saw the big clock from a distance, and read the time inadvertently.

The carriage didn't stop, and went straight into Liulizhai.

……

boudoir.

Sun Liniang welcomed Yang Reform with joy and resentment.

Seeing Sun Liniang's pretty face and resentful eyes, Yang Reform smiled: "They're all old couples..." As he spoke, he took Sun Liniang into his arms.As Xiangren fell into his arms, Yang Reform's heart began to soften and melt.Many thoughts and complex worries softened accordingly, and I don't know where they went.

A burst of cloud and rain.

……

After the cloud and rain, Sun Liniang's face was still flushed, extraordinarily gorgeous, lying in Yang Reform's arms, extraordinarily satisfied.

"Master, it's been a while since Liniang came here." Sun Liniang lay in Yang Reform's arms, and began to find something to say.

"Well, there are too many things and I'm too busy, so I'm a bit neglected by Liniang..." Yang Reform stroked Sun Liniang's smooth skin and said, after the passion, his mind became much clearer, and the originally complicated things seemed to be organized.

"...Young Master should be busy with important matters. Liniang can't help much, and I can only hope that everything will go well for you..." Sun Liniang lay in Yang Reform's arms and said in a low voice.

"Is everything okay in Liulizhai?" Yang Reform asked. When he came to Liulizhai, he must have asked about the situation of Liulizhai. Liulizhai played an important role in his many plans.

"Master, everything is fine..." Sun Liniang still whispered. Everyone knows that the emperor is behind her. If you want to embarrass her, first consider the emperor's anger. Who can provoke ordinary people?The officials and ministers lost completely in the battle with the emperor, and they didn't have the guts to trouble her. How could Liulizhai's business be bad?It's really unreasonable if it can't be done like this.

"Well, that's fine,... By the way, how far has the road been repaired?" Yang Reform remembered his purpose of coming, and then asked.

"...Young master, is that the road you are talking about? Your oily road is really amazing. Liniang has also tried it. It is really wonderful. Who would have thought that there is such a magical thing in the world..." When it came to the asphalt road, Sun Liniang couldn't help but praise the magic of that road.

"Hehehe, that road is indeed miraculous. When I first saw it, I couldn't believe it. There is such a miraculous thing in time." Yang Reform echoed for a while.

"...By the way, my lord, the road was repaired very quickly. The main reason is that the oil residue can't keep up with the supply. Otherwise, it can be repaired faster..." Sun Liniang said happily.

"Oh, that's right! When will it be completed?" Yang Reform asked.

"Master, are you worried that the repair is too slow? As for the completion, according to the current progress, it may be completed in November. If you feel that the repair is too slow, you can advance a few days. The main reason is that the oil residue can't keep up. It's the twelfth lunar month, and the weather is getting colder. I'm afraid it will be difficult to repair this road. I'm afraid it will be very difficult to repair. Several shopkeepers said that it's best to finish it in November, just don't encounter any bad weather..." Sun Liniang reported seriously.

"Oh, November!..." Yang Reform fell into deep thought. The project will be completed in November, so what about December?The construction of this road has accommodated tens of thousands of people to work, and there are even more people related to it. After the construction is completed in November, where will these tens of thousands of people go to settle down in the freezing weather?How to live in the cold winter months?How do their families live?One leaf knows the autumn, but Yang Reform has to "know the winter overnight" and deal with the problems a few months in advance.

"...My lord, what's the matter? But did Liniang do something wrong?" Seeing Yang Reform frowning, Sun Liniang asked quickly, thinking that she had done something wrong and not good enough.

"No, Liniang did the right thing. It should be completed before the twelfth lunar month...but what about those people who come to Beijing to beg for a living in the twelfth lunar month? We can't let them have nothing to eat in the cold winter. Shall we eat?" Yang Reform said.

"Ah!... Young Master..., what you mean by Young Master..., Liniang understands, Liniang will arrange the construction period to next year..." Sun Liniang is also a smart woman, who can make the business so big, By no means just relying on the relationship of the emperor, she is also extremely wise. Hearing what Yang Reform said, she immediately understood the meaning of Yang Reform's words. As the emperor, her son was not only thinking about money, but The stability of the world.

"That's not necessary. The main road and the asphalt road should be completed as soon as possible to facilitate traffic, but the construction period should be arranged until the end of the year. There is nothing to do. You can dig ditches for the road, repair the roadbed, etc. anyway. , the road needs to be repaired as soon as possible, but the construction period has to be delayed until the end of the year. It is best to finish the project before the end of the year. Where are thousands of workers looking for work again? How will they live this year?" Yang Reform said.Originally, Yang Reform didn't need to pay attention to these things in person, but obviously in the Ming Dynasty, he didn't pay attention to them, and he didn't create a rule. Remind yourself of these, it is better to arrange them in advance.

"My lord is right. Liniang was negligent, so Liniang ordered..." Sun Liniang heard what Yang Reform said, and she was about to do it immediately, but she was hugged by Yang Reform and couldn't get up.

"Hehehe, don't worry, it's still early anyway..." Yang Huaihe said with a smile and put his arms around Sun Liniang.

"Young Master..." Sun Liniang looked at Yang Reform with a pink face.Then he fell into Yang Reform's arms, and fell down with peace of mind, not planning to get up.

"...I can arrange the project until the end of this year. As for the future, I will make my own arrangements..." Yang Reform thought for a while and said.It is indeed true to transfer a large number of surplus population from rural areas to cities, but we must always pay attention to providing enough jobs for these people. If these people cannot find jobs, the consequences will be very dire. Although road construction has gathered a large number of The working population has solved the unemployment problem of a large number of people, but building roads also consumes huge funds, and Yang Reform also has a lot of pain. It is impossible to keep open money to repair such super-era roads. Therefore, Although road construction can solve the unemployment problem of a large number of people, it still needs to be done according to one's ability. To build asphalt roads, a better solution is needed. It is obviously not enough to rely on unlimited investment like this alone.Speaking of which, it is also a manifestation of the will of the country. According to business practices and theories, the sooner the better, the sooner the better. If it can be completed in November, it will definitely not be delayed until December. Naturally, the twelfth lunar month will not be considered. The problems of workers' employment and food, but as the emperor, as the ruler of the country, these problems must be considered and resolved.

"Liniang understands..." Sun Liniang agreed.

"...Liaodong may have a big development next year, which will require a large number of workers, and more shopkeepers and manpower will be needed there. Liniang must make preparations in advance!" Yang Reform said again.

"Li Niang understands..." Although it was the time for the two of them to talk to Moss, it was actually the time to get down to business.Although Sun Liniang is a woman, those words determine the food and clothing of tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people, whether these people live in the world or in hell.

……

After whispering on the bed for a while, Yang Reform finally got up.

After getting dressed, Yang Reform said: "There is a barbarian building built on the other side of the square, has Liniang visited it?" Yang Reform asked.

"Returning to your son, Liniang has never been there, but she also saw that the building is very beautiful. It is really remarkable to build such a building in such a short period of time. The clock upstairs is indeed unique. Now, it has become the Liulizhai. There is a scene on the square. If there is nothing to do, you have to look up there, so you can know what time it is... I heard that it was repaired by the young master..." Sun Liniang immediately published her own opinion on the very conspicuous building. My opinion, as for the last sentence, is actually affirmative. Without the support of the emperor, it would be impossible for Tang Ruowang to build such a large and tall building on Liulizhai Square. Just buying the land would scare Tang Ruowang to death.

"Hehehe, it's just fun to build..." Yang Reform said with a smile. Yang Reform also placed a lot of expectations on that building. To build such a building in the center of Beijing's people flow, in addition to showing off and promoting cement, he also wanted to promote machinery. After the gadget was promoted, Yang Reform himself had seen the clock. Yang Reform believed that anyone who saw the clock must ask, is there someone behind it?It is bound to arouse the curiosity and attention of many people, and it is enough to arouse curiosity and attention. To promote social change, many times, we also start with these small things, and we may receive some unexpected benefits.

"Young master, why is the bell tower built like a barbarian, why not a pagoda? If it is built into a pagoda, can it be built higher and more people can see it?" Sun Liniang asked again.

"Hehehe, Li Niang is right. The tower can actually be built like a bell tower. However, the key is not how the house is built, but the clock... oh oh, I was wrong, the house is actually very important Yes,...it's all important, it's all important..." Yang Reform laughed for a while and said indiscriminately.

After sitting with Sun Liniang for a while, Yang Reform planned to go back. When he came here, he came and left in a hurry. It was basically impossible to spend the night here, not to mention that Yang Reform had more important things to do today.

……

On the way back, Yang Reform still lifted the curtain to observe Tang Ruowang's house, seeing that Tang Ruowang's house was well repaired, he laughed alone there.He opened the curtain again to look at the pedestrians on the road, observed the scenery on the street, and confirmed his inner thoughts.

Yang Reform came here this time, only to solve some of the problems, and there are more problems to be solved. It is right to gather the surplus population from rural areas to cities, solve the problem of surplus population in rural areas, and let the surplus population from rural areas come out. , However, it is not enough just to come out, they must be provided with the necessary jobs, otherwise, these people will become refugees. What Yang Reform fears most in his heart is actually the word "vagrant".This winter is the first winter since Yang Reform launched the urban population gathering plan on a large scale. Yang Reform must deal with this winter in advance.Yang Reform knew that what he had to solve was not only the employment problem of so many people already there, but also the employment problem of those people who kept flocking to the capital. In addition to the employment problem, it also included food and clothing. Yang reform must pay attention to and resolve.Things have never been smooth sailing, and there are very few things that can develop in a good direction by themselves. Yang Reform knows that he must intervene and set an example and rules.

Back to the palace, Yang Reform was in a hurry, far less relaxed than when he went out.

As soon as he entered the palace, Yang Reform returned to his true colors as an emperor.

"Big Companion, call the elder Han Ge, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Industry, and Tian Hongyu to come to see me..." Yang Reform said solemnly.

"Your servant complies..." Wang Chengen immediately agreed, and after agreeing, he asked again: "...Your Majesty, do you want to be summoned together? Or separately?" Yu is not a stranger.

"Well, let's separate. The head of the state, Tian Hongyu, will see you alone, and the household department will see you alone..." Yang Reform said seriously.

"The servant obeys the order..." Wang Chengen agreed.

"...Oh, by the way, there is also Qi Zanyuan, the son-in-law, who is also summoned, and I want to see you too, um, see you alone..." Yang Reform thought for a while and said.

"The servant obeys the order..." Wang Chengen agreed.
