The group turned a small road, and after walking a little further, they saw a sign on the side of the road, "Military restricted area, no entry is prohibited." Underneath the sign, there was a fully armed general with a helmet and armor, and when he saw Qin Feng and his party, he grabbed it in a few steps.

"Lu Yifan, the commander of the Houtu Battalion, has seen Your Majesty."

Looking at the burly guy in front of him, Qin Feng imagined in his heart that this Lu Yifan could be regarded as a deputy general of the Ming Dynasty, when he was the enemy of the Taiping Army, his unit was always defeated and lost, and later, he returned to Shun anyway, and after becoming a member of the Taiping Army, he helped the Taiping Army defeat the Shuntian Army at that time at the smallest cost and take Changyang County.

After the war, he went to Daye City as a county soldier leader, responsible for maintaining the law and order of Daye City, and in just a few years, he raised himself into a big fat man.

But this guy has several powerful enemies in the current Ming army, one is Lu Feng, the commander of the miner Lao, and the miner battalion is the elite army with the first combat effectiveness of the Ming Dynasty. If Lu Feng just looked at him unpleasantly and wanted to clean him up, then his other enemy Wu Ling could be regarded as a great enemy of life and death, Wu Ling assassinated Lu Yifan once before returning to the Ming Dynasty, but this guy was lucky, it happened that Qin Feng Weifu paid a private visit to Daye City, and Wu Ling, who was extremely unlucky in comparison, fell into the eyes of the Eagle's Nest, set up an ambush, and captured him alive.

With these two enemies, Lu Yifan was deeply stimulated, and since then he has changed his mind and worked hard, this guy is really lucky to the extreme, after the war between Daming and Qi, Queen Min Ruoxi came to Feng County to supervise the battle, and when his life hung by a thread, this guy took thousands of miners' battalions to prepare for the troops from the mountains to kill, which was regarded as saving the queen's life and making great contributions again.

This time Lu Yifan did not have the idea of retiring to enjoy the blessings, but asked to return to the field army, it happened that Liu Xingwen's daughter and the prince set a family affair, Liu Xingwen withdrew from the field army, and the crippled Houtu Battalion had no main general, Qin Feng pushed the boat down the river, so that this member of the Fu would become the commander of the Houtu Battalion, and he would stay in the Taiping Army for reorganization and rest.

Just looking at his figure, Qin Feng knew that this guy must be living a very self-restrained life now.

"Why are you here?" Qin Feng turned over and dismounted, and patted the other party's shoulder with a smile.

Qin Feng was so affectionate to him, Lu Yifan's face was full of excitement, "Your Majesty, Jin Junshou is working here, he has to be watched by the army, none of the guys he found are good at stubble, some of them are quite good martial arts cultivators, if you don't stare at them, you will run away long ago." ”

"The grave-digging guys?" Qin Feng turned his head to look at Jin Jingnan beside him: "Where did you find so many graves to dig up?" ”

Jin Jingnan bowed, "Your Majesty, there are many such people in the prisons around the Ming Dynasty. Once these people are caught, there is only one result, beheading. ”

Qin Feng nodded, digging graves and digging graves is indeed a taboo, no one will forgive such a guy.

"The minister's Taiping mine needs a large number of manpower, and these people on the left and right want to cut off their heads, so it is better to send them to me to mine and dig until they die, which can be regarded as atonement, so all localities are still happy to hand over these prisoners to the ministers. In addition to these, the minister also used some other means to get a batch from Qi, Chu, and Qin. ”

"Huh?" Qin Feng was a little surprised.

"Your Majesty, there are some merchants, but they sell everything, I made a bid, and after the merchants of these countries returned to the country, they got these people out by various means, and then sold them to me." Jin Jingnan raised his eyebrows, and he was actually a little proud. "Although it's a little expensive, I think it's worth it!"

Well, the county guard under his command, a horse to the south, also secretly came back from Qin Feng's human trafficking, and this time added a Jin Jingnan.

"How many people are there now?"

"There are still thousands of people doing this." South Gyeong-do.

"Let's go, let's go!" Qin Feng waved his hand and walked forward.

On a flat field, the soldiers of the thick earth battalion lined up in several rows, enveloping a group of people in it, and these people were naturally sitting on the ground obediently with their bare hands now.

Naturally, they are those tomb robbers that Jin Jingnan got from all over the country.

A little farther away, a huge hole appeared in front of Qin Feng's eyes, about five meters wide and three meters high.

After a few steps inside, on the wall of the cave, the torches burned to the ground, illuminating the cave clearly.

Looking left and right, there are round wooden pillars with thick bowl mouths, and above the head, there are also round heads resting horizontally on these columns, about every three meters or so, there is such a setting, which is naturally to prevent the top from collapsing.

From time to time there was a ticking sound, that is, water seeped out of the cave wall, and on both sides of the cave there were two ditches, and the water flowed out of these ditches.

"How far have you come?" Qin Feng asked.

"Your Majesty, this beam is almost about to be opened, according to the person in charge of this project, it will take a month at most to completely open this beam."

"Aside from the labor, how much did you spend on this?"

"One hundred thousand taels!" Jin Jingnan said: "This is an approximate number, because the project has not been completely completed, so there is no final accounting, but it will only be more, not less." ”

Qin Feng gasped, and made a hole like this, which is 100,000 taels, and it is only more than 100 miles from Daye City, but if you really want to repair the rail car, I am afraid that the cost of this rail car will be several times that of the Shafeng Line.

"Your Majesty, the cost is a little more, but this is a merit for thousands of years, once it is cultivated, it will benefit more than just one generation." Seeing that Qin Feng's face was different, Jin Jingnan hurriedly said.

"That's right!" Qin Feng said with a smile. "But what about the funds, where are you going to raise the funds for the road construction?"

"It's good to see that the Railway Department has got that joint-stock system." Jin Jingnan said: "Once Your Majesty allows it, the minister is ready to do the same." ”

"You're thinking too much!" Qin Feng shook his head: "You forgot one thing, Taiping City, Daye City is a military city, whether it is iron ore or weapons, they are all owned by the imperial court, and some other workshops are also state-owned, private workshops, there are pitiful few, except for these, Taiping County does not have any other products, that businessman will take money and throw it here?" ”

"Your Majesty, the imperial court will naturally pay them money when they transport these things abroad, and with the credit of the imperial court, they are not afraid that they will not be able to receive money, and besides, they are afraid that there are many businessmen, and they also hope to bind themselves to the country through this!"

"Tied to the state?" Qin Feng's heart jumped.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Jin Jingnan lowered his voice: "In my Daming, I do not suppress business, on the contrary, encourage businessmen to trade with the world, these people have money, they will naturally desire other things, but on the whole, their status is still difficult to improve in a short period of time, so there is an opportunity to be tied to the country, so that they have a chance to speak, even if they lose money, I am afraid that they will be happy." ”

After listening to Jin Jingnan's words, Qin Feng was silent for a while and nodded: "You are right!" However, the various aspects involved in this matter are too big, and I am afraid that there will be great resistance above the imperial court, so we can only discuss it again. ”

"The minister understands!" Kim Kyung-nam was a little discouraged.

"Okay, anyway, these methods you have figured out can really be regarded as great innovations, not to mention others, just Ma Xiangnan, I'm afraid that he will jump up happily, so don't worry that there is no place for it." Qin Feng comforted Jin Jingnandao. "In that place in Changyang, I can also use your skills, Ma Xiangnan has always wanted to repair rail cars, but he is trapped in the terrain and landform."

"Changyang, that has the money to repair?" Kim Kyung-nam scoffed.

"Don't underestimate Changyang County, maybe one day, he will turn over." Qin Feng snorted, and said in his heart that as long as the sea trade is really running, Changyang County will indeed have a lot of money, and when the time comes, goods from all over the country will be continuously transported to Changyang Baoqing, where to go to sea to earn a lot of money. In this way, a rail car is indeed indispensable for Changyang County.

"Really?" Jin Jingnan was suspicious, the matter of sea trade was still limited to a small number of people, and Jin Jingnan was not yet within the scope of knowing this secret. But when he was promoted to deputy prime minister, he naturally wouldn't hide it from him.

"Isn't the road straight?" After walking a little further, Qin Feng asked in surprise.

"Yes." Jin Jingnan smiled proudly, as if a little secret he had hidden for a long time was finally discovered by Qin Feng: "Your Majesty, this is the credit of those guys, according to the specific conditions, plan the most effective route, but at the same time ensure that this road is the shortest, among those people, there are indeed great talents, to be honest, these things, the minister does not understand." ”

"The line is the champion!" Qin Feng shook his head, "Okay, don't look at it, you call the leader of these people to me to see it." With this ability, there is no need to do those immoral things in the future, in my Daming, there are places where they display their talents. ”

"That's a blessing for them!" Kim Kyung-nam said with a smile.

Standing in front of Qin Feng was a thin little old man, if it weren't for here, Qin Feng would find it hard to believe that this person would be an extremely experienced tomb robber, this guy was bought from the Qi State. It is said that this guy has dug more than a dozen tombs of the princes of the former Tang Dynasty in his life, and his reputation is thunderous among his peers in the four countries. It took a lot of effort for Qi Guo to arrest him, but in the end, he was bought by Jin Jingnan for 1,000 taels of silver.

"Sinner Qi Yu, knock to see Your Majesty!" The little old man's face turned pale, and he knelt in front of Qin Feng tremblingly.
