Chapter 2820 2822【Eternal Saint King】

The average carriage load is only about a thousand kilograms, and a thousand tons of goods require two thousand carriages to carry it.

Nowadays, the train can be used to pull the train in one go, and the efficiency has been greatly improved.

Although the initial investment was large, everyone could see how promising this kind of train was.

Therefore, soon the Lianghuai salt merchants and local powerful people also learned to lay railways. However, they could not buy a steam engine, so they had to use horse-drawn carriages to pull goods.

Even so, because of the railway, the transportation capacity of horse-drawn carriages has been greatly improved. One horse can pull eight tons of goods, and transportation costs have been greatly reduced.

…

In the fourth year of Tianshou, Xiang Nan gave Adu to Gu Jian as his concubine.

Before that, Gu Jian had married Chai Mu's daughter Mingyue.

It turns out that Xiang Nan asked Chai Mu to go to Mingyufang to investigate Mingyue before, just to give him a chance to recognize his daughter.

After the death of Princess Mingyuan, Gu Jian returned to the capital.

Chai Mu knew that his daughter liked Gu Jian, so he worked hard to bring them together.

Gu Jian originally only liked Qu Xiaofeng, but Qu Xiaofeng was already a mother at that time, and there was no way she would have an affair with him.

In addition, he owed Chai Mu too much, so he married Mingyue.

Mingyue originally had a complaint against Chai Mu, because when the Gu and Chen families were killed, Chai Mu had the opportunity to save her family, but in the end he saved Gu Jian, causing her and her mother to be buried alive.

So she never wanted to forgive Chai Mu in her whole life.

But after those years, Chai Mu's constant atonement, constant repentance, and this marriage, Mingyue finally accepted her father again.

Xiang Nan knew that Adu also liked Gu Jian.

Moreover, she has reached the age when she should leave the palace, otherwise she would become an old girl.

So he gave her marriage to Gu Jian.

Gu Jian originally didn't want to agree, but it was hard to disobey the king's order.

Besides, he did owe A'Du, so he agreed.

…

In the seventh year granted by Heaven, the Empress Dowager died.

Xiang Nan held a grand funeral for her.

At the end of the seventh year of Tianshou, Yongning chose to become a monk.

She saw through everything in the palace at a very young age and knew that although the royal princess was noble, she was nothing more than a tool of power.

You have no control over who you marry or who you like, so you make up your mind not to get married.

After Xiang Nan ascended the throne, he completely abolished the policy of "harmony". Moreover, he did not force Yongning to get married.

Therefore, Yongning has always been her princess in the palace, accompanying the Empress Dowager and the Empress.

Now that the Empress Dowager is dead, she no longer wants to stay in the palace, but she doesn't want to get married and get involved in the whirlpool of power, so she can only choose to become a monk.

Xiang Nan helped her build a nunnery at the foot of the Western Mountain where the Empress Dowager's mausoleum was located, which was both clean and able to accompany the Empress Dowager.

…

In the following decades, the Toyo Dynasty became more and more prosperous.

With their advanced muskets, artillery, and armored ships, Toyo dynasty's army shocked the barbarians and attracted all nations to come to dynasty and bow their heads one after another.

With their advanced ocean-going technology, Toyocha merchants have extended their trade territory to Southeast Asia, Tianzhu, Africa, Europe and other places. They used the tea, silk, porcelain, glass, clocks, etc. produced by Toyocha in exchange for tens of millions of dollars. Silver, gold.

The fiscal revenue of the Feng Dynasty reached an astonishing 150 million yuan, which was five times that of when Li Zhen was in power.

With the strength of the army and the development of commerce, the cultural and technological level of the Toyo Dynasty has become higher and higher, even approaching the overall level of European countries in the Age of Discovery.

In the past few decades, Xiang Nan gave birth to more than a dozen princes and princesses.

However, he never established the position of prince.

At first, all the ministers tried hard to persuade Xiang Nan to establish the throne as soon as possible.

Xiang Nan refused to agree, and even demoted several officials for this reason.

After delaying for twenty years, Xiang Nan still was not ready to establish a reserve.

Seeing this, the officials once again remonstrated and wrote together, hoping that Xiang Nan would stop being willful.

Xiang Nan took advantage of the situation and proposed the "secret reserve" system.

The ministers had no choice but to take a step back.

…

During this period, in the tenth year of Tianshou, the great king of Xizhou, Qu Wencheng, died, and Qu Xiaofeng's brother Qu Tianze succeeded to the throne.

In the fourteenth year of Tianshou, Chai Mu passed away.

In the 20th year of Tianshou, the Empress Dowager Zhang Meiniang passed away.

In the thirty-first year of Tianshou, Zhao Sese passed away.

In the fifty-first year of Tianshou, Qu Xiaofeng's life has come to an end.

She lived to be seventy-one years old. It is said that seventy years of life are rare, which is considered a long life.

In seventy-one years she had suffered little. Everyone loved her in Xizhou, and when she came to Feng Dynasty, she was also the crown prince and queen. She held a high position and was respected by everyone.

Therefore, she had almost no regrets in her life.

"Li Chengyin, I will still marry you in the next life, okay?" she said, holding Xiang Nan's hand.

"Forget it in the next life." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile, "I have to find someone smart in the next life."

"I hate it. At this time, you don't know how to coax me." Qu Xiaofeng said angrily, "No matter what you say, I will pester you."

"Yeah." Xiang Nan nodded.

Qu Xiaofeng closed her eyes with peace of mind.

After a while, a familiar sound sounded in Xiang Nan's ears.

"Li Chengyin is very grateful to the host for helping him realize his wish, so that he can stay with Qu Xiaofeng for life."

"The mission is completed, the host will return soon!"

Immediately, the light door flashed again. The strong suction coming from the door sucked Xiang Nan's soul out of Li Chengyin's body and into the light door.

Immediately afterwards, a series of pictures flashed in front of Xiang Nan's eyes, all of which were things he had done in the world of "East Palace" and people he met.

There are scenes of him hunting down the White-Eyed Wolf King alone, scenes of him leading an army to break into King Danchi's tent, scenes of him overthrowing Li Chengye and being named the crown prince, scenes of his wedding to Qu Xiaofeng, and scenes of him ascending the throne. For the emperor's picture, there is a picture of him eradicating the high-ranking prime minister's party...

All in all, they are all good memories.

"Does the host consume the [Memory Stone] to keep all the memories of this life?" At this time, the system prompted again.

Xiang Nan thought for a while and clicked No.

Being an emperor seems to be all-powerful and majestic, but in fact it is far from being so carefree.

Just reviewing memorials takes four or five hours every day. In addition to discussing affairs in the court, discussing national policies with the cabinet, conducting diplomacy with the foreign countries, and communicating with the concubines in the harem... there is not much time for myself.

After Xiang Nan became emperor this time, he realized why there were so many foolish emperors in ancient times. For him, this memory is really not very good, far less happy than being a millionaire.

"As a reward for the host, Li Chengyin is willing to offer his experience in governance and water from the Forgotten River." At this time, the system prompts again, "Congratulations to the host for receiving the World Stone reward!"

Xiang Nan was stunned and then opened his eyes.

After reviewing his harvest, he felt that these rewards were pretty good.

Li Chengyin in the play is a wise emperor. He has been the emperor for decades and managed the Feng Dynasty very well, so he also accumulated a lot of experience in governing. It will be much easier if Xiang Nan becomes emperor again in the future.

As for the water of Wangchuan, it was Li Chengyin who found it in the Western Region. After drinking it, you can forget the person you love in your heart. This strange item will be useful for many tasks.

So Xiang Nan was very satisfied.
