Lebat went deep into the northern desert grasslands, and it took about a year to go back and forth. He exterminated several larger tribes in the north and then returned. According to Lebat's survey, the northern tribes did not become powerful and would be difficult to rise in a short period of time.
Because Dajing implemented preferential policies in Beizhou, it attracted many foreigners to move south into Beizhou, which increased the population of Beizhou and indirectly eliminated the huge hidden dangers in the north.
Without external dangers, Dajing developed vigorously under Zhang Xiu's governance.
The Grand Canal was also built in the third year of peace in the world and in the 19th year of Long Long's reign, canal digging officially started. In order to ensure people's livelihood and livelihood, Dajing did not adopt the ancient policy of corvee service, but paid wages. Each peasant received five coppers for a day's work.
You can get one hundred and fifty copper coins a month. At this time, this purchase is enough to feed a family for a month.
Under such an enlightened policy, the people devoted themselves to the construction of the canal without any complaints.
At the same time, roads in the Shiwanda Mountains in the south also began to be built. In order to build smooth and easy-to-travel official roads, Zhang Xiu used all his artillery on the mountains. He built bridges when meeting rivers and opened mountains when meeting mountains. The people built a road leading in and out.
Various princes also carried forward Zhang Xiu's governance spirit in their fiefdoms.
They all adhere to the concept of building roads first if they want to be rich, connecting their fiefdoms with the Central Plains and opening up an interconnected official road.
The size of Dajing reached a terrifying level.
unprecedented.
…
Jianlong thirty-eight years.
The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal was opened ten years ago, and there are countless merchant ships traveling on the canal. All kinds of people are busy on the canal, and you can also see many faces of foreign races, as well as many people who come from the West.
An old man with white beard and hair, wearing simple clothes, was sitting on a boat, heading south melancholy. The hull of the boat was not tall, just a simple boat.
But no one could have imagined that there were extraordinary people sitting on this simple boat.
"Father, after we arrived in Jianye, we took a carriage to Fuzhou. Today, Fuzhou has developed very prosperously under the governance of my son." Zhang Ling, the third son of the emperor, bowed his back to his father with a look of hospitality. , "Queen Mother, come here with your father."
"It's too far to go to your place!"
Zhang Jia, the sixth son of the emperor next to him, shook his head and waved his hands, "Father and queen, let's go to Qiongzhou. My father went to Qiongzhou before, but we started from scratch! Now! It has developed long ago. Father has gone , I definitely don’t recognize him anymore.”
The two immediately started arguing.
There was a joyful smile on Zhang Xiu's old face: "Go! I will go to both Fuzhou and Qiongzhou. Also, I have several grandchildren who I haven't seen for a long time. I have long forgotten them. Let's go to Fuzhou first, and then Go to Qiongzhou."
"Here!" The two princes were overjoyed.
Huang Yueying and other ten queens accompanied Zhang Xiu, with smiles of satisfaction and happiness on their faces.
"Wow! What a beautiful fire cloud!"
Suddenly, a crisp voice sounded outside the ship.
Everyone in the boat looked towards the horizon, and sure enough, beautiful fire clouds appeared on the horizon as the sun set, dyeing half of the sky red.
Zhang Xiu looked at the fiery red clouds and thought about his life.
Nanyang raised troops to resist Cao Cao. This was the battle that changed his destiny. He went to the east to challenge Yuan Shu and gain fame. He marched to Wuguan in the west and defeated Guo Huai. Li urged him to capture Yongzhou as the foundation. He captured Liangzhou in the west, Hetao in the north, and Yizhou in the south. Going out to the east, he captured Bingzhou, fought a decisive battle with Cao Wei and captured Jizhou and Youzhou, destroyed Cao Wei and captured Zhongyuan and Jingzhou, and finally destroyed Wu and unified the world.

Now, the huge ship Dajing has begun sailing smoothly. No wind or waves can threaten it, and the people have lived a prosperous life and lived and worked in peace and contentment.
Even in the deep mountains, bandits are rarely seen.

He seemed to have come with a mission. As long as he completed such a mission, maybe he could return to the world that he had longed for a hundred years later, but as he got older, he seemed to have less desire. .
After all, the family ties here are more real.
Destiny is so unpredictable. When he first came here, he was so eager to return to that world. Now that he is old, he has begun to be attached to this world. Unfortunately, he does not have much time to enjoy it.
