The emperor led a group of more than a dozen ministers to walk around the streets and alleys in Danyang County under the open and secret protection of many guards.

The streets and alleys are real, and they cannot be fake.

The earth blast furnaces were emitting fireworks, and every household was jingling, and the men, women, young and old were busy, with almost no time to spare.

It was evening when the group stopped and felt hungry.

Cai and the eunuch asked, should we ask the imperial chef to prepare supper?

The imperial chef was accompanied. Although the conditions here were simple, it was still OK to prepare food for the emperor and more than a dozen ministers.

Xiang Yanran shook his head and took the ministers to a lively shop on the street for dinner. He made several large tables in the corner.

But I saw that there were various chicken, duck, fish and meat in this big shop, as well as farmers' vegetables. Guests came in and chose chickens and ducks and made them now.

According to the food standards of the emperor and the three dukes and nine ministers, they usually have delicious dishes made by the imperial chefs. Of course, this street shop is shabby and simple, and the food is rough and hard to swallow.

However, for the common people who have lived in a county town for the rest of their lives, this food is already quite luxurious.

I saw that in the evening, blacksmiths came to this big shop.

They were busy working as ironworkers at night, and they didn't have time to go home for dinner, so they had a supper in this shop.

A meal of chicken, duck, fish and meat rice is only 100 to 20 yuan, and their income can afford the money.

It is simply unimaginable for the people of Da Chu to eat meat every meal every day. Many people may not be able to taste the meat in a month.

However, Danyang County almost did it.

In this big shop, there are meat and vegetables on the table, and no one of the blacksmiths is reluctant to spend money.

Xiang Yanran was in a good mood when he saw this scene and smiled at the ministers: "Let's have dinner here!...I haven't eaten this farm meal for many years. Try the taste of the people's food, remember the bitterness and sweetness!

What is political achievements?

The government writes a list of political achievements and lists a lot of numbers, but it actually doesn’t count! That is the government’s political achievements, not the people’s political achievements.

Count the table of the common people, how many bowls of rice and how many bowls of meat and vegetables are on the table, it is obvious at a glance.

In this big shop for dinner, almost every blacksmith orders a plate of chicken, duck, fish and meat when he comes in. They can eat meat every day. This is an amazing political achievement!

If everyone can eat such a big bowl of rice, meat and vegetables every day, it will be a prosperous era that has never been seen in the ages, and I can smile at my ancestors."

The emperor was extremely moved.

After walking in the county town for a long time, he gradually understood how the dazzling "political achievements list" of Danyang County came out.

There must be work to do first.

Danyang County’s “steel appliances” are very famous and not outrageously expensive, which has attracted a large number of foreign merchants to purchase iron appliances.

In other places in Dachu, only iron can be smelted, and very few can be smelted.

Therefore, there is a saying that says "Good steel is used on the blade!" The blade is made of iron, and the blade is made of steel.

However, Danyang County has refined "steel", and the entire farm tool and knives are made of all steel.

It's simply amazing.

Merchants from all over the country flocked to purchase steel appliances in large quantities.

Danyang County originally had a registered household registration of 3,000 and a population of 15,000. In addition, the landless "refugees" recruited in the past six months have increased to nearly 30,000.

Ma'anshan mining, transportation of mines, steel smelting in the city, blacksmith shops, etc., all of them were done by themselves in Danyang County.

The richest ones are of course Princess Danyang and Xiaohunhou.

Ma'anshan Iron Mine belongs to the princess.

Nearly a hundred earth blast furnaces are also from Xiaohunhou, and a small number are from others. The "steel ingots" refined are extremely valuable and are all huge profits.

Steel ingots were sold to blacksmiths in the city.

Every household has a blacksmith.

The blacksmiths earn three or five hundred coins a day, which is very rich!

The small people of Danyang County became richer than the people of Jinling Imperial City overnight.

Danyang County government collected taxes from it, and the tax revenue soared sharply. It was not surprising that it soared ten times in half a year, so it was naturally rich.

When the county government and the people are rich, everything will naturally be natural.

Purchase a large number of plowing oxen from other counties, build giant water trucks, and everyone eats meat...

The blacksmiths eat in big bowls and eat meat in big mouthfuls, and there is oil and water in their stomachs.

Even though they were thin men, they would grow slender and eat meat every day, in just three months, they would grow slender and strong, and Kong Wu was powerful.

No wonder there are almost no ragged and skinny people in Danyang County. Walking on the streets, there are a group of tough iron thugs, with their eyes shining.

These miners and blacksmiths are very capable of enduring hardships and fighting.

Those thieves, like thin monkeys, were slapped out by blacksmiths.

Every household is full of tough blacksmiths. Who is blind and dares to steal and provoke them?

Danyang County is alive!

"I suddenly understood that there are no thieves in Danyang County...it seems not impossible.

Moreover, Danyang County has unlimited recruitment of refugees. With the intention of stealing, it is better to sign up to work in the mine to make money faster and more stable.

As for lawsuits and murder cases?... The blacksmiths earned three or five hundred coins in copper coins a day, and their eyes were filled with golden light, and they could only cost several taels of silver in a few days.

Who is so idle that he goes to the county government to sue? It’s time to waste and lose too much money, so it’s better not to sue this lawsuit.

Do you think this is the reason?”

Emperor Xiang Yanran thought carefully and said.

In other county towns, there is nothing wrong with political achievements. In Danyang county town, Sikong seems to be ordinary, and nothing is wrong.

“Yes~!”

"We just look at the list of political achievements, but we don't consider the facts. We still have to look at it on the spot to find out."

The ministers were powerless to refute, with awkward expression on their faces, holding bowls and chopsticks, chewing them in small mouths, without knowing the taste.

"Knock~"

A few small stones popped out from time to time from time to time, and the gravels on their mouths made them feel even more terrible.

Their "secret private visits" came to catch Xiaohunhou's fault in his political achievements.

Why, unknowingly.

Turned into a journey of Danyang County’s political achievements commendation?!

If I had known this, I might as well not come!

They cursed in Jinling City, but the emperor could not see the truth anyway and was skeptical.

Now that I come to Danyang County, I look around.

Damn it!

These dazzling political achievements seem to be true.

All the ministers wanted to vomit blood in their hearts.

Xiaohunhou managed a county so well that he forced Danyang County to build a major steel town, rich and rich, with political achievements that were the best in Chu 100 counties and thousands of counties.

Not to mention compared with other counties, even some "counties" are almost no match for a Danyang County.

If this continues, within three to five years, Danyang County will surge and compete with the traditional county governments "Changsha and Wanling".

What should we do with these ministers?

Is it acknowledging Xiaohunhou’s political achievements?

Or continue to suppress Xiaohunhou?

Kong Hanyou and Wang Su looked at each other, and they were both in awe.

They know it in their hearts at this moment.

Xiao Hunhou’s political achievements should be consistent with each other, almost all of them are true. If Xiao Hunhou was from their own side, he would have long praised him and became the most shining new star in the political arena.

But Xiao Hunhou is not his own!

Can this achievement be recognized?

"No, even if you pick the bones in the eggs, you have to find out the big problem in Danyang County! Otherwise, you will probably be turned over by Xiao Hunhou and gain power in one fell swoop."

Xiao Hunhou's governance ability is so terrifying that it is simply terrifying.

Once Xiaohunhou was promoted to the county magistrate, he would even be further ranked as the nine ministers and entered the court to become a senior official in the ministry. He won over those imperial examinations, non-Confucian and non-powerful, and formed the third faction.
Chapter completed!
