Chapter 172 There is nothing wrong between us!

Kaifeng.

On the tower.

"Tokyo Meng Hua Lu!"

Yang Feng looked at the still poor city in front of him with some emotion...

Of course, this is no longer the Kaifeng city it was back then.

The current Kaifeng is newly built and is much smaller than the original Kaifeng City. The area is about one-fifth of the latter. However, even after shrinking to this extent, the population in the city is still small, and there are large open spaces everywhere.

, after all, the total population of Henan at this time was about the same as that of Kaifeng Prefecture in its heyday.

At present, the population of Henan is about two million, and he and the Chief Envoy of Peiping are like brothers and sisters.

However, the latter area is much larger.

Moreover, the population is basically concentrated around Beiping City, so other places are more desolate.

Henan is more balanced.

Guide, Kaifeng, and Luoyang are all cities with relatively large populations.

But no matter what, this once prosperous and prosperous era has finally become a fleeting thing, and it has been a war that lasted for hundreds of years. This was the frontier of the Song and Jin Dynasties, a tug-of-war battlefield. Later, the rule of the Jin Kingdom stabilized slightly, and then the Mongols destroyed the Jin Dynasty.

In the end, Henan was still the last place of resistance of the Jin Kingdom, and the fields were still covered with bones. Then the Mongolian rule stabilized slightly and then the melee in the late Yuan Dynasty came. Henan was especially the main battlefield. After all, the main control area of ​​Liu Futong and others was Henan and Shandong, and Henan especially

It is the main battlefield of the tug-of-war. It can be said that this land has been in constant tug-of-war for hundreds of years.

Coupled with the flooding of the Yellow River.

In the end, the entire Central Plains looked like this.

"It has been restored for more than 20 years, which is already good. The road will only be clear when the king becomes a vassal."

Lai Gong said.

Next to him, King Zhou smiled modestly.

His attitude towards Yang Feng was very unusual. It could be said that he was enthusiastic. He even personally accompanied Ambassador Yang on a tour of the city and discussed medicine with him, as if he were reunited with an old friend.

"Is that why Your Highness compiled the Herbal Medicine for Famine Relief?"

Yang Feng said.

"The land of Henan has been in chaos for hundreds of years, and the Yellow River has overflowed. The land is full of yellow sand, the people are poor, and famine is constant. The little king is here. After all, he cannot just sit back and watch the people suffer from hunger and cold. Although his ability is limited, he must do something after all.

"

King Zhou said.

"Your Highness is truly a wise king!"

Yang Feng quickly praised him.

Of course, this guy is not a good bird.

King Zhou was even taken back to house arrest by Zhu Yuanzhang before. He was released in the 24th year of Hongwu because he left the fiefdom privately and went to meet his father-in-law Feng Sheng secretly. He was the legitimate son, which made Zhu Yuanzhang angry, who had always protected his children.

In this case, it was definitely not as simple as a meeting between him and Feng Sheng. Although Zhu Biao was still alive at the time, it was unlikely that he wanted to cause trouble, but it was inevitable that the two men would form an alliance to advance and retreat together.

However, after being taught a lesson by Zhu Yuanzhang, he is now very low-key.

His father-in-law is also very low-key.

Feng Sheng now follows Tang He's example, and also claims to stay at home to take care of his old age when he is sick.

Zhu Yuanzhang has now lost interest in killing these veterans. After all, now that Yang Feng is an actual threat, he needs the sincere unity within the Ming Dynasty. He cannot kill anymore, and if he kills again, there will be no one available. After all, he has already

We have to rely on Yang Wen's level to conquer here and there.

The only top veteran who is still really in charge is Fu Youde.

The latter is quite enthusiastic in Peiping.

In fact, it's hard to say whether he had any part in what happened this time.

After all, he and King Jin are allies.

His daughter married the prince of Jin Dynasty.

"Ambassador, Xiao Wang would like to ask the ambassador to stay for a few more days. I also want to ask for advice on some things. I wonder if the ambassador can give me a favor?"

King Zhou said with a smile.

Yang Feng looked at Gong...

"I'm old, and I have to walk on a mountain road next. It won't go very fast. If the ambassador wants to stay for a few days, I'll go first. You and I can just meet up in Zezhou."

Lai Gong said.

What he said is also true.

At his age, he is really no match for Yang Feng, who rides a four-wheel carriage. The latter's carriage has shock absorbers and is pulled by two horses. It is easy to run a hundred miles a day. He must keep up with him while riding a horse.

, a handful of old bones can’t stand the torment.

The road ahead is more difficult, especially the mountain road at Tianjingguan.

So it’s easier to leave a few days in advance.

"In that case, I will harass His Highness for a few days!"

Yang Feng said cheerfully.

At this moment, his eyes fell on Haruji who was waiting under the city wall.

The latter is walking towards a young man.

Yang Feng looked at him doubtfully, and then the young man suddenly turned his head and smiled at him...

"Your Majesty, I want to walk around the city by myself."

Yang Feng said.

"Excuse me, Ambassador!"

King Zhou said hurriedly.

Yang Feng immediately got off the city wall, as if he was really admiring Kaifeng City, strolling leisurely with his hands behind his back. After making sure that the view from the city tower was blocked, he entered the alley next to it without hesitation, and then caught up with Chun Ji who was also inside.

And that man directly pressed the back of his head against the wall...

"Where's the princess?"

Yang Feng said angrily.

"Why, can't I do it myself?"

Zhang Ying, dressed in men's clothing, was lying on the wall and said with a smile.

"real?"

Yang Feng said.

"The princess asked me to go back to Peking to visit my mother, and came to keep an eye on you to prevent you from messing around with women on the way. Your embassy is already crowded enough. You should bring at least one back with you when you go out. She doesn't want you to wait for you.

Once you become the consort, you will already have a lot of beauties."

Zhang Ying said.

Yang Feng was speechless, then let go of his hand, but gave her a slap in the face.

"Go to the bank?"

he asked.

Of course there is a bank in Kaifeng, and the bank is the little princess's intelligence network, but the one who mainly works for her is Zhang Ying, who is like the little princess's spy chief, so Zhang Ying is here to help him improve the intelligence network. After all, the little princess also knows that Yang Feng is here

It's a war.

"I went, but it was of no use. The news from Taiyuan hasn't come yet.

Our messaging is too slow.

You have to think of a way to make our news transmission faster. Not only the current one, but also many things in the bank will need to be transmitted in time in the future. The government post station cannot be used. There are many banks in Nanzhi and Zhejiang, but it is okay in the north.

Several places, it takes several days to send a message from Taiyuan, and half a month to the headquarters in Beijing."

Zhang Ying said.

"What else do you want, I'll build a wireless telegraph for you?"

Yang Feng said.

Of course, wireless telegraphy is too difficult.

Although Sister Liu could indeed help him with design and even manufacturing methods, given the current level of technology, it was not very possible to create a practical telegraph.

At best, it can be tested later.

Cable telegraph...

Then he must first solve the problem of someone cutting the wires.

So there is really no good way to do this. The most is to build a communication tower. This can indeed be done, but it will definitely be used for free by Zhu Yuanzhang, but it is okay to be used for free by him. At worst, they can be used together.

It would be difficult to keep secrets from Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Hurry up and put on women's clothes, and then go directly to Prince Zhou's Mansion to find me. Now Prince Zhou is stalling for time."

he said.

King Zhou was indeed stalling for time.

Even my friendly attitude toward him was just an act.

It is estimated that he was afraid that his third brother was not sufficiently prepared, so he delayed here for a few days. Moreover, Lai Gong and Yang Feng were traveling together. If Lai Gong was killed together, it would be easy for other things to happen. Lai Gong was the right capital official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
