The group turned onto a small path and walked a distance further. Then they saw a sign on the side of the road, "Military forbidden zone, entry is strictly prohibited." Below the sign, a fully armed general stood with helmets and armored, and saw Qin Feng and his group, and snatched it over a few steps.

"Lu Yifan, the commander of the Houtu Camp, met His Majesty."

Looking at the burly guy in front of him, Qin Feng felt a little imagining. Lu Yifan was a deputy general of the Ming Dynasty. When he was an enemy of the Taiping Army, his troops always lost a lot. Later, after he surrendered and became a member of the Taiping Army, he helped the Taiping Army defeat the Shuntian Army at the time at the lowest cost and seize Changyang County.

After the war, he went to Daye City to become a county soldier, responsible for maintaining the public order of Daye City. In just a few years, he raised himself into a fat man.

But this guy has several powerful enemies in the current Ming army, one is Lu Feng, the general commander of miners. The miners' battalion is the elite army with the highest combat effectiveness in the Ming Dynasty. If Lu Feng just dislikes him and wants to deal with him, then his other enemy, Wu Ling, is a life-and-death enemy. Before Wu Ling surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, he assassinated Lu Yifan once. However, this guy is lucky. Qin Feng happened to visit Daye City in a private place. Compared to this, Wu Ling fell into the eyes of the Eagle Nest, set up an ambush, and captured him alive.

With these two enemies, Lu Yifan was deeply stimulated. From then on, he changed his mind and worked hard to make progress. This guy was really lucky. After the war between the Ming Dynasty and Qi, Queen Min Ruoxi personally visited Fengxian to supervise the battle. When his life was hanging on the line, this guy led thousands of miners' battalions to invest in the army and rushed out of the mountains, which saved the queen's life and made great contributions again.

This time, Lu Yifan did not want to retreat and enjoy his happiness, but instead asked to return to the field army. Liu Xingwen's daughter made a marriage with the prince. Liu Xingwen withdrew from the field army. The already broken Houtu Camp had no main general. Qin Feng followed the way and let the Fu General become the commander of the Houtu Camp and stayed in the Taiping Army to reorganize and rest.

Just by looking at his figure, Qin Feng knew that this guy must be very self-reliant now.

"Why are you here?" Qin Feng turned over and dismounted, smiled and patted the other person on the shoulder.

Qin Feng was so intimate with him, Lu Yifan's face was blushed with excitement, "Your Majesty, County Magistrate Jin is working here, and there must be an army to stare at him. None of the guys he found are good at martial arts. Some of them have good martial arts cultivation. If they didn't stare, they would have run away long ago."

"Are those guys digging graves?" Qin Feng turned to look at Jin Jingnan beside him: "Where did you find so many graves digging graves?"

Jin Jingnan bowed, "Your Majesty, there are many such people in the prisons in various parts of the Ming Dynasty. Once these people are caught, there will be only one result, and they will beheaded."

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

"I have to ask that the Taiping Mine requires a large number of people. If you want to behead these people, it is better to send them to me to mine and die. This is also atonement. Therefore, all regions are still willing to hand over these prisoners to me. In addition to these, I have also used some other means to get a batch of them from Qi, Chu, and Qin countries."

"Hmm?" Qin Feng was a little surprised.

"Your Majesty, some merchants sell everything. I offer a price. After the merchants from these countries return to the country, they use various means to get these people out and sell them to me." Jin Jingnan raised his eyebrows and was a little proud. "Although it is a little expensive, I think it's worth it!"

Well, the county magistrate under his command, Ma Xiangnan, also secretly returned from Qin Feng's human trafficking, and this time he added another Jin Jingnan.

“How many people are there now?”

"There are still thousands of people working on this job now." Jin Jingnan Road.

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

On a flat piece of land, soldiers from the Thick Soil Camp were arranged in several rows and wrapped a group of people in it. These people are naturally sitting obediently on the ground now.

They are naturally the tomb robbers brought by Jin Jingnan from all over the country.

A little further away, a huge hole appeared in front of Qin Feng's eyes, about five meters wide and about three meters high. Standing at the entrance of the hole, you could feel a wave of cold wind blowing out from inside.

After walking a few steps in, the torches on the wall of the cave were burning Bibi and illuminating the cave clearly.

Looking left and right, round wooden pillars as thick as bowls are erected, and above the heads, there are also round heads placed horizontally on these columns. There is a setting of this kind about every three meters, which naturally prevents the top from collapse.

From time to time, a beeping sound came from my ears. Water seeped out from the wall of the cave. Two ditches were built on both sides of the cave. The water flow gathered in these ditches and flowed out of the cave.

"How far has it been repaired?" 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 only one month to completely open the beam."

"Not counting labor, how much did you spend on this?"

"One hundred thousand taels!" Jin Jingnan said: "This is a rough number. Because the project has not been completely finished, there is no final calculation, but it will only be more, not less."

Qin Feng took a deep breath and made a hole like this, which would cost 100,000 taels. It would only take more than a hundred miles to get out of Daye City. But if you really want to build a rail car, I am afraid that the cost of this rail car will be several times that of the Shafeng Line.

"Your Majesty, it costs a little more, but this is a achievement that lasts for thousands of years. Once it is completed, it will not only benefit one generation." Seeing that Qin Feng's face was different, Jin Jingnan quickly said.

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

"I think it's good to have the shareholding system in the Railways Department." Jin Jingnan said: "Once your Majesty allows you, I will also prepare to handle this."

"You're thinking too much!" Qin Feng shook his head: "You forgot one thing. Taiping City and Daye City are military cities. Whether it is iron ore or weapons, they are owned by the imperial court. Other workshops are also state-owned and private workshops, which are pitifully few. Apart from these, there is nothing else in Taiping County. Will that merchant spend money here?"

"Your Majesty, the court will naturally pay them money when transporting these things out. And with the credit of the court, they are not afraid of not being able to receive the money. Besides, they are afraid that there are many merchants who want to use this to bind them to the country!"

"Tie with the country?" Qin Feng's heart was shocked.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Jin Jingnan lowered his voice: "In my Ming Dynasty, it is not a silence of business. On the contrary, encourage merchants to trade in the world. When these people have money, they will naturally desire other things. But overall, their status is still difficult to improve in a short period of time. Therefore, there is an opportunity to be tied to the country and give them the opportunity to speak. Even if they lose money, they will probably enjoy it."

After hearing Jin Jingnan's words, Qin Feng was silent for a while and nodded: "You are right! However, this matter involves too many aspects, I am afraid that there is a lot of resistance to the court, so I can only discuss it again."

"I understand!" Jin Jingnan was a little discouraged.

"Okay, no matter what, the methods you have figured out can be considered a great innovation. Not to mention others, Ma Xiangnan alone will jump up happily, so don't worry about not having any use of the place." Qin Feng comforted Jin Jingnan. "The place in Changyang also uses your skills. Ma Xiangnan has always wanted to build a rail car, but he has been trapped by the terrain and terrain."

"Who is rich to cultivate Changyang?" Jin Jingnan sneered.

"Don't underestimate Changyang County. Maybe that day, he will turn over." Qin Feng laughed and thought that as long as the sea trade really starts, Changyang County will indeed have a lot of money. At that time, goods from all over the country will be continuously transported to Changyang Baoqing, where to go out to sea to earn a lot of money. In this way, a track truck is indeed indispensable for Changyang County.

"Is that true?" Jin Jingnan was half-believing and half-doubted. The matter of maritime trade was still limited to a few people, and Jin Jingnan was not within the scope of knowing this secret. However, after he was promoted to second prime minister, he naturally would not hide it from him.

"Isn't this road straight?" Qin Feng asked in surprise after walking a while.

"Yes." Jin Jingnan laughed proudly, as if a little secret he had been hiding for a long time was discovered by Qin Feng: "Your Majesty, this is the credit of those guys. According to the specific conditions, the most effective route is planned, but at the same time, it is necessary to ensure that this route is the shortest. Among those people, there are indeed great talents. To be honest, I don't understand these things."

"It's the top scorer!" Qin Feng shook his head, "Okay, don't look at it anymore. Call the leader of these people to meet me. With this ability, you don't have to do those unethical things in the future. In my Ming Dynasty, there are some places where they display their talents."

"That's their blessing!" Jin Jingnan said with a smile.

Standing in front of Qin Feng was a thin old man. If it weren't for this, Qin Feng would hardly believe that this person would be an extremely experienced tomb robber. This guy bought it from Qi State. It is said that this guy dug more than a dozen large tombs of princes of the pre-Tang Dynasty in his lifetime, and was well-known among his fellow travelers in the four countries. Qi State took great effort to arrest him, but in the end, he was bought by Jin Jingnan for 1,000 taels of silver.
