Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Chapter 512 Extra: You treat me like a national hero, I will repay you like a national hero

When Xiao Linfeng saw Ning Zhiwei again, he felt that she had not changed much, except that her aura was stronger.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Linfeng greets you."

Ning Zhiwei raised her hand and said, "Get up, Master Xiao, you have worked hard. Are you feeling well?"

Xiao Linfeng stood up, his eyes lowered, "I'm fine."

Ning Zhiwei looked at him for a few times, and he looked more mature than before.

"You must be hungry. Eat first. Serve the meal."

The corners of Xiao Linfeng's mouth rose slightly, he was still the same, casual and open-minded.

Ten cold dishes and ten hot dishes filled the round table.

Ning Zhiwei sat at the top, with a little girl between her and Rong Jing. Xiao Linfeng and Sheng Xia sat at the bottom, with palace servants serving the dishes.

After so many years, I can still dine at the same table with the emperor. I have to say it is a blessing.

Xiao Linfeng looked at his favorite dishes in front of him, feeling a mixture of emotion in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

The joy of midsummer is written all over her face, with a smile on her face.

They ate and chatted, talking about the past and the big and small things that happened in their respective areas of jurisdiction.

Shengxia governed Gaoyang Prefecture very well, turning it from a place with a weak foundation and chaotic government affairs into a prosperous and wealthy place.

As soon as she arrived, she used the army to suppress the rebels and royalists, killing a large number of them. Then she understood the people's sentiments, handled several major unjust cases, and won the hearts of the people.

After that, we will vigorously develop agriculture, planting early rice in spring and wheat in autumn, optimizing good varieties and increasing yields.

It also encouraged business, improved the status of businessmen, and stimulated their enthusiasm for business.

These few axe strikes immediately stabilized the situation.

In this situation, cultural evolution is carried out silently starting from the childhood, with children learning Dayong dialect and writing Dayong script.

Official schools were also opened to allow students to attend, receive unified ideological education, and encourage and support them to take part in the imperial examinations.

However, Xiao Linfeng conquered the entire Jin Dynasty and has been maintaining stability, de-Jinizing, strengthening ties with the imperial court, and forcing the implementation of the same wheel gauge, same writing system, same customs, same land, same weights and measures, and same currency. Note (1)

This process was very difficult to advance. The old ministers of the Jin Dynasty resisted fiercely and killed many people.

The two people's approaches are exactly opposite, but that's because the situations are different, so it's hard to say who is right or wrong.

The royal family of the Jin Dynasty was massacred, which aroused great hatred. The royal family of Gaoli surrendered voluntarily. Now that your royal family has surrendered, it is only natural for the people to follow Dayong.

Ning Zhiwei said a few words from time to time, and the little girl opened her round eyes and listened very attentively.

Xiao Linfeng glanced at her. Could she understand?

After finishing the meal, the little girl blinked her eyes and said, "Mother, I want Marquis Wu'an to be my martial arts master."

The scene fell silent, and everyone looked at Xiao Linfeng.

Ning Zhiwei raised an eyebrow, "Did Marquis Wu'an agree to it?"

The little girl nodded vigorously. "I agree. He likes me very much, Marquis Wu'an, right?"

Xiao Linfeng: ...If he doesn't say anything, does that mean he agrees?

"Yes." He really liked this child.

Ning Zhiwei suppressed her smile and said, "Marquis Wu'an, I'll trouble you to take care of me from now on."

Xiao Linfeng was silent. The three of them had discussed it and decided to trick him together.

"I am afraid I do not have much time to teach Your Highness."

He also has to return to Ganlong Prefecture, which is a long process of governance.

Ning Zhiwei smiled slightly, "Teach her when you are in the capital, take her out for a walk, and let her see more of the city life."

This was not a difficult task, Xiao Linfeng agreed immediately, "Yes."

Ning Zhiwei and Rong Jing looked at each other, then looked at the little guy. The little guy jumped up happily and called him Master.

Shengxia saw this and the corners of her mouth slightly raised. Lord Xiao wouldn't really think it's that simple, right?

He's not that naive, is he?

Xiao Linfeng suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to assign a capable official to serve as the governor of Ganlong Prefecture to help me govern."

After defeating the Jin Kingdom, half of the land was changed to Ganlong Prefecture, and Xiao Linfeng was appointed as the Governor of Ganlong.

Half of the land was changed to Xiguan Prefecture, and Ning Ran was appointed as the Governor of Xiguan.

Both of them were high-ranking officials.

Ning Zhiwei was a little surprised, "A capable official?"

Xiao Linfeng was somewhat helpless, "I am good at leading troops in battle, gathering intelligence, and investigating cases, but I know nothing about economics."

"I want to develop the economy and maximize the benefits of the Silk Road."

Ning Ba has become the King of the Western Regions as he wished and unified the Western Regions. The two sides can now work together and share what they have.

However, the Silk Road was never fully utilized. It only enriched some merchants and created a group of powerful people, but the lives of ordinary people were not improved much.

Ning Zhiwei understood, "Do you have a candidate in mind?"

Xiao Linfeng shook his head, "No, it's all up to the emperor."

Ning Zhiwei pondered for a moment. Ning Wenyin is one of the experts in economics, but she has to be in charge of the Ministry of Revenue.

Zhou Hongye could also do it, but he and Xiao Linfeng have different political views on civil and military affairs, and neither of them can suppress the other.

Those people in the Ministry of Revenue are a bit young and won’t work.

Shengxia suddenly cupped her hands, "Your Majesty, do you think I can do this?"

Xiao Linfeng was stunned. Even though he was far away in Ganlong Prefecture, he knew Shengxia's reputation.

In just a few years, she managed Gaoyang Prefecture in an orderly manner, vigorously developed agriculture, and made it increasingly prosperous.

Is she no longer staying in Gaoyang?

Ning Zhiwei looked at her steadily, "Shengxia, I originally planned to let you go to the southwest and serve as the governor of the southwest."

Shengxia looked determined, "I don't mind being demoted. The Silk Road is very important, and I want it to reach its peak in my hands."

Ning Zhiwei had high hopes for Shengxia. He moved from the capital to the local area, accumulated political achievements and experience in the local area, and then returned to the capital with his political achievements to enter the core of power.

This is the path of a powerful official.

"Master Xiao, what do you think?"

Xiao Linfeng and Shengxia were not close friends, they were just colleagues who greeted each other when they met, but he was still impressed by her management ability.

Before, when she was in charge of Qixia Villa, she created many good things that benefited the country and the people. After she went to the local area, she showed her strong talent for governance.

"I would love to have it, but I'm afraid some people would criticize me. If I'm demoted to a lower rank, others would think it's a demotion."

The governor-general is of the second rank, and the governor-general is of the second rank.

Shengxia looked calm, "I don't care. As long as I can do something practical for the people and relieve the emperor's worries, I will be satisfied."

She is so loyal, Ning Zhiwei will not let her suffer any loss, "No problem, the title of Minister of Processing Department is from the first rank."

The position of Minister of Works has remained vacant since Shengxia left, and the Ministry of Works is headed by the Vice Minister of Works.

Sheng Xia was stunned, "Your Majesty."

Ning Zhiwei patted her shoulder and said, "The position of Minister of Industry is always reserved for you. Do your best."

Shengxia's eyes welled up with tears and she was deeply moved. This was the king she was loyal to, and he had never let her down.

"I will never let your Majesty down. I will serve you with all my heart and soul until my death."

You treat me as a national hero, and I will repay you as a national hero.

And Xiao Linfeng was given the title of Prince Taifu, a first-rank official, which also confirmed his plan to become the Crown Princess's teacher.

At this moment, Shaoyao ran in and shouted happily, "Your Majesty, my uncle brought back a woman!"

The scene fell silent, and everyone looked at Xiao Linfeng.
