Ningguo.
Changle City.
Changle City is located under Nanshan Mountain and on Qishuiyuan.
The long Qishui River comes from Nanshan and passes through the city.
This majestic city, which took nearly twenty years and cost countless dollars, gradually woke up from its former desolation.
The new emperor ascended the throne as emperor here and lived in Changle Palace.
Although the three provinces and six ministries and other yamen are still in Yujing City, in everyone's opinion, it is only a matter of time for these yamen to move to Changle Palace.
In addition, the Autumn Festival will also be held in Changle City this year, and many students and literati will come to Changle City.
The Ministry of Household Affairs has sold many houses in just a few months, and now these houses are occupied.
As a result, teahouses and restaurants gradually appeared on both sides of the streets.
Even brothels have opened three new ones in Changle City.
For example, Yihong Building.
Also like Guixiang Garden.
There is also a brothel called Ningxiang Pavilion.
As for the restaurant, Juxian Pavilion, which was originally very famous in Yujing City, also opened a branch here. The chef was sent from Yujing City, and the taste is the same as Yujing City.
Shuiyunjian, a very famous tea house in Yujing City, is also opened not far from Juxian Pavilion.
It is not outside the city, but is opened in the city, right on the Qishui River. The location is excellent, the scenery is unique, and the price... is still the most expensive.
Of course, wine shops selling peach blossom wine and Huapingchun are also indispensable in Changle City.
This city has the smell of human fireworks.
August 14th, the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Emperor Ning Zhinian left the palace when the moon was at its peak. He took Amu and Wang Zhenghaoxuan quietly from the harem gate, took a black carriage, and arrived at Shuiyun Stream.
Standing in front of the door of Shuiyunjian, looking at the red lantern on the flagpole and the plaque with the three characters "Shuiyunjian" written on the lintel, Xiao Wu felt a little melancholy.
He still felt that the Shuiyun Stream in the wild was better.
That water and cloud stream is really beside the water, under the clouds, and in the mountain stream.
It is late summer and early autumn.
At this time, it will be very cool in Yunjibieye, and the night wind blowing from the valley will have the sweet taste of water.
Not here.
The Qishui River flows slowly. Although it is cool, it has lost its lively and lively feeling.
So he thought about spending some time living in Yunjibieye and drinking tea in the Shuiyun Stream there.
Perhaps few people go to that Shuiyun Stream.
Will it simply decline?
Thinking like this, a man came out of the door. He was Wen Boyu, the chief minister of the Ningguo cabinet!
Wen Boyu stood in front of Xiao Wu and bowed: "Your Majesty, please come inside!"
Xiaowu and the other three followed Wen Boiyu into Shuiyun Stream.
This is his first time here.
Walking on the bluestone corridor and looking at the layout of Shuiyunjian under the lights and moonlight, he finally felt happy in his heart.
Because the layout inside is the same as that of Shuiyunjian in the wild areas.
It’s just that sister Ruoshui and Li Chenan passed away. Who opened Shuiyunjian here?
Obviously a lot of thought was put into it.
Looking at those familiar scenery, Xiao Wu felt a little better.
Wen Boyu led the three of them into a corridor over a lotus pond and walked to a waterside pavilion.
A stick of sandalwood was burning in the waterside pavilion, but there was no one there.
There is an antique tea table in the waterside pavilion. There are not only tea sets on the tea table, but also pens, inks, papers and inkstones.
The four of them sat in front of the tea table.
Wen Zhuiyu made tea and looked up at Xiao Wu, "Your Majesty, why have you summoned me here?"
Xiaowu had been living in Changle Palace for several months after he ascended the throne.
He kept his promise and did not comment on government affairs or even make a sound.
In this regard, Wen Boyu expressed his inner gratitude, which enabled the smooth implementation of the national policies left by the regent Li Chenan.
The national policy of promoting industry and commerce is now centered on Jiangnan Road and gradually radiates to the other four roads in Ningguo.
The businessmen of Jiangnan Road waited and watched for a short period of time after Li Chenan passed away. Now they are completely relieved. The industry and commerce of Jiangnan Road are developing at an unprecedented speed.
When the other merchants saw this, they also started to move.
According to estimates from the Ministry of Household Affairs, Ningguo’s industry and commerce will reach a new level in three years—
It is not just a huge increase in commodity production, but also a huge change in the commodity structure, as well as a further decline in commodity prices.
The barriers that once existed between the various circles have been broken down, and the newly appointed officials have also shown a new attitude.
Of course, there are still those who are greedy and bend the law, but with the Imperial City Division watching, this situation has become much less common than before in just half a year.
This is the best era of Haiyanheqing!
Wen Boyu has traveled around the world for many years. He firmly believes that in this era, Ningguo will be able to reverse the poverty and backwardness of the past two decades and become the richest country in the world in less than five years.
Ten years later...Ning Guo will become the most powerful country!
Everything comes from the breaking of those shackles.
The five-year plan left by Li Chenan is the fundamental guarantee for Ning Guo's strength.
It is also the most perfect result brought about by the emperor's non-interference in government affairs.
But a few days ago, the emperor sent Wang Zhenghaoxuan to invite him to Changle City... Could he have changed his mind?
Is he going to take over the imperial power again and exercise his power as the Emperor of Ning?
Wen Boiyu shouldn't worry about this.
This was what Nian Chengfeng and Su Yian were worried about before he left Yujing City.
Xiao Wu grinned.
His eyes are still clean and clear, and his smile is still warm and reassuring.
He picked up his pen, dipped it in the polished inkstone, took out a piece of paper, and wrote:
"I want to go out for a walk."
Wen Boyu was startled when he saw it. He looked up at Xiao Wu and asked, "Where does the emperor want to go?"
Xiao Wu wrote: "I don't know, maybe go to the top of the Western Mountain in Shuzhou to see the tomb, maybe go to the Qinba Mountain to collect herbs."
"Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I am very lonely. I miss him, so I took them both out, just to relax."
"I originally wanted to leave quietly like this, but after thinking about it, I felt it was inappropriate, so I still have to tell you."
Wen Boyu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and muttered for three breaths: "Then the emperor will take the Yulin Guards."
Xiao Wu wrote: "No!"
"I still like to be cleaner and more free."
Wen Boyu did not force it anymore. He knew that the emperor's original intention had not changed, and he also knew that the young emperor was like a free bird.
He enjoyed studying pharmacology with the imperial doctors in Changle Palace.
But that kind of joy is limited.
What he longed for more was the vast sky outside the palace.
So Wen Boiyu nodded, "In March next year, Yu Wenfeng of the Great Wilderness Kingdom will ascend the throne..."
Xiao Wu smiled faintly and wrote again: "I will go."
"Then the gift...?"
Xiao Wu wrote: "No need!"
Wen Boyu was startled, okay, but he has to tell Wang Zheng Jinzhong about this matter when he returns home, and the Imperial City Secretary must secretly protect the emperor's safety.
Wen Zhuiyu poured tea and said, "Autumn will begin on August 20th. When will the Emperor plan to leave the palace?"
"As long as Qiu Wei is presided over by you, as long as justice is upheld, I cannot speak, nor can I encourage those students. I will leave the palace tomorrow."
"Then...I obey your order!"
Xiao Wu left happily.
Walking on the streets under the moonlight, he looked at the bright moon in the sky and said silently in his heart:
"Brother Chen'an, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival night again, and the literary world didn't hold a Mid-Autumn Festival literary gathering."
"If you're not around, what's the point of having a cultural gathering?"
"The world is a big dream,
There are cool autumns in life.
At night, the wind leaves are already singing.
Look at the brows and temples.
A cheap drinker often worries about having few guests.
The moonlight is often obscured by clouds.
Who can share the lonely time with me during the Mid-Autumn Festival?
Look northward sadly! "
Just outside Juxian Pavilion, Xiao Wu stopped and stretched out his hand.
I said in my heart:
"I want to drink. Let's get drunk tonight!"
"Tomorrow...leave this sad place."
