Yang Ling gave him an empty favor, but in fact he didn't have to arrange it, let alone buy it by several princesses. Gu Dayong was originally a person who served in the palace. What were the royal women using or gifts to each other? I'm afraid these princesses are not as thorough as he remembers.

Gu Dayong bought more than ten carts of goods in advance, and each box belonged to the emperor, empress, empress, concubine and princess in accordance with the marks. Even the wives of Yang Ling, Duke of Wei carefully prepared a valuable gift each.

Emperor Zhengde lived in Suzhou for more than ten days, and it is expected that the generals arranged in advance have almost been in place now. Just give them some time to control the army and dispatch good personnel according to the plan. Zhengde can return to Beijing immediately and start a nationwide change of defense of the heads of the political and military, completely eliminating all hidden dangers, so the trip to Hangzhou is still calm.

Archbishop La Mario's people witnessed the beauty, prosperity and strong economic strength of Jinling and Su Su, and were completely impressed by it. Once upon a time, Marco Polo's travels on the East were ridiculed in the West because they did not believe that there would be such a place in the world.

Although some Western adventurers have come to the East in recent years to witness what Marco Polo said, in the eyes of most people, they still believe that they are exaggerating to lobby the nobles and obtain sufficient ocean sponsorship. However, after witnessing the richness and beauty here with their own eyes, they have to believe this fact.

The wealth and power of Jinling City is hundreds of times stronger than their imperial capital. The municipalities of Suzhou are a hundred years older than their cities. Their largest city is only more than 100,000 people. Here, what they see is often a luxurious metropolis with a population of millions, and it is really a country man who enters the city. He is so dazzling.

Now, they headed towards Hangzhou City with great enthusiasm. Of course, they also brought countless exquisite gifts they bought to the king and queen, to other nobles, to wives and lovers, etc.

They have decided to set up a business station in this near-shore metropolis. Although they have not seen the beauty and prosperity here, after seeing Jinling and Suzhou, they have no possibility of doubting Hangzhou.

Hangzhou does not have a long history of Suzhou. After Qin unified the six kingdoms, Qiantang County was established under Lingyin Mountain. It is now the place of Hangzhou City. At that time, it was still a beach that was tide-infested with the tide. West Lake had not yet been released. It was directly built in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and a seawall was built from Baoshi Mountain to Wansongling. The West Lake began to be separated from the sea and became an inner lake.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Hangzhou, as the starting and ending point of the Grand Canal, established its status as a shipping center and a trade center, and became a nationally renowned commercial city and an important trading port. At that time, the taxes accounted for 5% of the national fiscal revenue of the Tang Dynasty.

By the Northern Song Dynasty, Hangzhou was known as the "No. 1 state in the southeast". At that time, Hangzhou ranked first in the country's commercial tax, wine and roulette tax, followed by the capital Bianliang. When the Southern Song Dynasty established its capital in Hangzhou, its chariots were stationed and its clothes were gathered. The people and the people were well-off, especially the vassals. Hangzhou became the center of the country. Although the Southern Song Dynasty was very weak at that time, when it came to prosperity and prosperity, Hangzhou was the largest metropolis in the world at that time.

This situation did not change during the Yuan Dynasty. It was not until the founding of the Ming Dynasty that the maritime ban was imposed and the harassment of Japanese pirates year by year that Hangzhou declined. However, this situation was only more than a hundred years after all, and its prosperous and rich metropolis status lasted for hundreds of years. At this time, the residents of Hangzhou did not lose the momentum it should have.

Now that the sea has been reopened, Hangzhou has become the first port for foreign trade and trade, and Yan Song, a young and capable prefect, is guarding here. In addition, its vitality has not been lost and its profound foundation, what is the Hangzhou execution at this time?

The emperor entered Hangzhou City from Yuhang Gate and stationed in the temporary palace at the foot of Gushan. The prefect Yan Song and the officials from all over the country from Hangzhou came together to welcome the emperor, and held a banquet outside the West Lake Tower to greet the wind. It was a long time to the night.

The next day, Yan Song came to see the emperor again and waited for the emperor to inquire about the political areas of Hangzhou. Yan Song's preparations were much more detailed than Gu, and he answered them in a slight manner and spoke extraordinary. Emperor Zhengde was very happy when he heard this. He couldn't help but look at Yang Ling with an admiration.

Gu Dayong and Yan Song, civil officials who manage tax and trade, local politics and economics, and trustworthy military generals such as Xu Tai, Li Sen, Bai Chongzan, and Xu Tai, were all recommended by Yang Ling. Now it seems that Yang Ling is indeed wise and what these people do is really exciting.

After hearing Yan Song's statement, Emperor Zhengde laughed and said, "Come on, show Yan Aiqing the seat."

Yan Song was flattered and dared not say anything. Yang Ling smiled and said, "The emperor gave him a throne, how can you refuse? Just sit down."

"Yes!" Yan Song bowed and thanked him for sitting, then sat on half of the chair with his butt. Emperor Zhengde asked happily: "This southern tour, I will see the development of various places in the south of the Yangtze River and understand the local people's conditions. Yan Qing, I heard what you said just now. Hangzhou's industry and commerce are booming and the transactions are extensive. I am very pleased. Let me tell you, what are the situations?"

Yan Song bowed: "Your Majesty, Hangzhou's industry and commerce are developing very rapidly, but Suzhou is close to you, focusing on the development of industry. Therefore, the ministers in Hangzhou are mainly commerce, complement each other, and there is no need to compete for resources too much.

Today, Hangzhou has 433 commercial banks, which is the most complete commercial bank. With the help of canals, sea and land transportation, it has established trade in the world. It has established more than 50 vassal states and regions including Japan, Korea, Luzon, Nanyang, Persia, and Dashi.

In business, since the court abolished the tribute system, replaced it with trade, trade, and trade, and each took the needs, and formulated detailed laws, and the ministers acted according to the law, and received the support of the emperor and the court, there was no major problem.

Hangzhou residents are now 1.4 million, and they consume chickens and eat a huge amount of pork every day. Farmers have specially raised them to make a living. The government protects and encourages this. Once there are major losses caused by plague or difficulty in selling, the government will provide supplies to avoid damaging the vitality of these farmers.

In addition, Hangzhou is a big bou, with a large population. Now the city invests in hiring some unemployed vagrants, specializing in fire prevention and epidemic prevention affairs. Every year, especially in summer, it is necessary to remove dirt and garbage in the city to avoid relapse of diseases..."

He looked at Zhengde's face, and saw that Zhengde was very happy with a smile, and continued: "When it comes to industry and agriculture, Hangzhou naturally focuses on colored porcelain, tea, silk weaving, papermaking, printing, rice, breeding, etc. from Tiger Cave.

The rice planted is now planted by the emperor personally approved the introduction of the successful trial planting of Zhengde rice. This rice seed is drought-resistant, insect-resistant and high yield. I am calling on local transplanting methods to adopt the transplanting method. Although the original live seeding method eliminates the two links of seedling cultivation and transplanting. However, such as flat fields, cold-proof and heat-keeping during the seedling stage, weed prevention and removal, and prevention of lodging, etc., have a great impact on yield.

Nowadays, seedling transplantation not only overcomes these problems, but also saves seeds, fertilizers and water, and improves yields. The most important thing is that there is no need to wait for the last season to mature. New seedlings will be cultivated, and the rice fields in Jiangnan can be ripened twice a year and double the yield. If you go to southern Fujian, use this method to mature three seasons a year, and the people will benefit greatly. It is all the kindness of the emperor."

When Zhengde heard this, he couldn't imagine that a sentence from the beginning could produce such an unexpected effect. It seems that those who are in the superiors are really caring and careful everywhere. Especially in governing the country, they are absolutely careless.

Yan Song also said: "As for poor and mountainous fields, sweet potatoes and corn that are easy to manage and high-yield, the military farm is being rectified, and all cotton is planted in advance, so that it can be effective as soon as possible and can be sold at a high price to resettle the officers and soldiers of the military and garrison station."

Yang Ling interrupted, "Mr. Yan, when I was in Suzhou, I heard that a large number of silk cocoons woven in Suzhou came from farmers in Hangzhou. You are a big supplier here. Eunuch Gu said you are improving some things. Can you tell me in detail?"

Yan Song said happily: "Yes, I am trusted by the emperor and entrusted the important task of the prefect of Hangzhou. I am grateful and wish I could be crushed to death to repay me. Therefore, I am careful everywhere. I am afraid that the emperor will disappoint me. I am a scholar. But silk weaving is the foundation of Jiangnan, which is related to the country's economy and people's livelihood. I dare not be careless.

I didn’t understand agriculture, so I recruited skilled craftsmen to study. Silk weaving has been improved from silkworm raising, silk reeling to textile and spinning tools. The selection of silkworm species, prevention and control of silkworm disease, mulberry leaf cultivation, silkworm cultivation technology, cocoon-forming methods and tools are all improved, and the steps are stipulated to teach the people. As for mulberry trees, we are choosing plants to improve them, so that they have many leaves and short plants, and picking many leaves to save labor."

Emperor Zhengde nodded and smiled and said, "It's great, so is there any problem in Hangzhou that the court needs to solve? I'm here in Hangzhou today and it's just right to solve it."

Yan Song raised his sparse and straight eyebrows and said, "When it comes to the problem, I am just trying to submit a specific report to the emperor. The emperor, the papermaking industry in Daming is very developed today. Take Shitang Town, Qianshan, Jiangxi as an example. There are no more than 30 troughs in the paper mill, and no less than one or two thousand workers in each trough. The production is amazing.

Nowadays, lime is used mostly to steam and cook paper pulp, which provides the quality of the pulp. The paper workshop uses water mills to crush raw materials, which improves the efficiency. The high, medium and low-grade paper produced is transported along the river, and the cost is low. If there are many papers, printing workshops will emerge. There are now a large number of engraving workers in urban and rural areas in Hangzhou.

The price of engraving is two boards per leaf, one qian and five cents per board of ICBC. The printing of movable type is three cents of silver and one hundred characters is engraved. Due to the low price of engraving, there are many books printed, and the number of literati who invested in printing has increased.

This was a good thing, but now the bookstore publishes more than the Thirteen Classics and Seventeen Histories, as well as series of books, collections, Taoist collections, lyrics and music. Due to the large number of business stores in Hangzhou and the inconvenience of spreading news, some people now publish booklets related to news situations in various industries. The paper is rough and the printing is simple, just for a temporary need.

Sometimes, in order to attract buyers, there are also some recent strange stories, stories and even brothels. This is a new thing. The court has no relevant laws and regulations. It is difficult for me to guide and manage. Therefore, I was just trying to submit a petition to the emperor. Is this kind of behavior a ban or a business? How to manage it?"

Yang Ling smiled slightly. The paper industry promotes the engraving industry, the engraving industry promotes the printing industry, and the need for commercial activities promotes the connection between two different industries, thus creating newspapers.

The emergence of a new industry of newspaper industry promotes the improvement of legality. The economy has influenced the improvement of politics, law and culture, politics, law and culture in turn continues to promote economic development, which are linked to each other and continue to develop. And with its development, what new real estate industries will emerge?

This is called the method of boiling frogs in warm water, the theory of the humanistic pyramid. I finally saw its wonderful effect with my own eyes. If I were out of reality and just made a big leap forward in a hurry, would there be a day when I saw it all with my own eyes?

When Yang Ling thought of this, he suddenly remembered a person, Wang Mang, who had been written into poems and cursed for thousands of years. Wang Mang was also a time traveler, right? As soon as Wang Mang became emperor, he divided the land equally with the people; abolished slave trading; the government controlled iron smelting and minting to prevent wealthy businessmen from manipulating the market; established a national bank, and poor people could apply for state loans and eliminate usury; from the emperor to all officials, a floating wage system was implemented; Wang Mang strictly punished corruption and established a reporting system.

The land is equal, and human rights are mentioned. I really don’t know how the nobles of nine marquises and five great sages in his family had such thoughts and what was the result?

Zhengde was about to say that since the publication was incomplete and insulting, he would ban it. Suddenly he glanced at Yang Ling's smile on his lips, and his heart couldn't help but say: "Is it because Yang Qing has any unique insight?"

He remembered what he had just thought: Those who are in the upper hand care about it at that time and be careful everywhere. Especially when he governs the country, he must not be careless. Zhengde has become cautious. He thought carefully for a long time before nodding slightly and said, "Well, I know. Since the people have launched these things due to business needs, they always have their own value. They should not be prohibited from giving up because of choking. The government can come forward to provide guidance.

Let’s do this. If something that involves the weather and touches the law, it should be controlled by prohibition, punishment, and punishment. Ordinary folk customs and rural slang can be published by them. If you go back to report the detailed situation, please report any suggestions together. After returning to Beijing, I will summon officials to discuss and formulate a relevant law to restrict it.”

"Yes!" Yan Song bowed his butt and bowed.

Zhengde nodded and smiled and said, "Okay. I want to stay in Hangzhou for a few days. When I arrive at this paradise holy land, I always have to walk around. I have to go and see the tiger cave, Longjing tea garden, and the mulberry rice fields. In the past three days, I will first appreciate the scenery of Hangzhou, West Lake, Lingyin Temple, Hupaoquan, and Qiantang River Liuhe Pagoda. I have been famous for a long time."

Yan Song had already made all kinds of preparations for these things, so he just bowed and said, "Yes, I will arrange it when I go back."

Zhengde waved his hand and said, "You can arrange the farming matters of Tiger Cave, Longjing Garden and Sangshan Rice Field. There is no need to visit the mountains and scenery. The followers lose their fun in the wild. I go to a private outfit and enjoy the people."

Yan Song was frightened when he heard this and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I must not. I dare not hide it from the emperor. The population of Hangzhou, coupled with the internal and external business, there are many merchants in various countries and places. Therefore, scoundrels and petty frauds and stealing things have happened frequently, but they are severely punished. I am a headache for it. The emperor is the emperor, how can he be easily involved in the people?"

There are also things like this in Beijing. In the luxury city, things like this are always endless. Darkness always appears with light. The most fertile land is also the most prone to worms. Zhengde smiled disapprovingly and said, "What are the sluts afraid of? Although I want to travel in confinement, I always have great internal guards around me. Besides, the places I go to are lively and prosperous, and scoundrels should also have some concerns."

Yan Song had no choice but to secretly decide to notify the magistrate, inspector, the people to strengthen the governance of all public security offices so as not to disturb the emperor's prosperity.

Looking at Yan Song's departure, Emperor Zhengde nodded slightly and said to Yang Ling: "Yang Qing, this person is quite talented and talented!"

"Yes, the emperor recognizes people with keen eyes!" Yang Ling smiled gracefully.

The worry and fear of Yan Song in the past has now disappeared from Yang Ling's heart. He no longer worried about what would happen if Yan Song had a high position. Yan Song has not changed. From his understanding, this person is still not a good woman but is greedy for power, but who has not pursued any of his life? Are those famous ministers throughout the ages indifferent to fame and fortune?

People's ambitions are gradually changing with the expansion of power and the surrounding environment. Now they are different from the past. A different king, a different court, a different Ming Dynasty, and a radical change in the rapid development will also create a different Yan Song!

More importantly, it comes from self-confidence. If self-confidence can steadily control a thousand-mile horse, why not let it travel thousands of miles a day?

Yang Ling smiled and looked at Yan Song's departure. Everything in his previous life could only be used as a reference, not as a measure to measure everything in history. Yang Ling truly integrated into this world, this world. The real change happened because of him, and it will no longer repeat everything in Yang Ling's memory.

The future will be a future that Yang Ling, a person from five hundred years later, cannot speculate...

On the second day, Zhengde was going to visit Hangzhou with Tang Yixian, and the princesses, and the first stop was naturally the famous West Lake. Before the large group of people left, Archbishop La Mario and Marquis Lamond rushed over excitedly. It turned out that they had already taken the opportunity to build the site of the commercial bureau. They also revised the detailed contract for the trade place between the two countries, and came to ask His Majesty the Emperor to sign.

Yang Ling read the article carefully and then read it through the matter. The article was written in Chinese and Chinese characters. These envoys remained the rules and followed the rules, and there was nothing wrong with it. Emperor Zhengde was also a person with a cheerful personality. He immediately signed it with a seal and wrote it in Beijing, so that the cabinet would immediately promulgate the world.

Archbishop La Mario invited Emperor Zhengde to sign the letter in the official letter of Indian, and immediately said goodbye and left. He wanted to build a business office and an affiliated cathedral, warehouse, hospital and school in Yangbatou, and would move at least one hundred families. He would occupy a place in this giant ship that led the world to sail against the wind and waves to the future.

Yangbatou, more than two hundred years ago, Hui people Alauding built Phoenix Temple here and became one of the four ancient temples of Islam in China. It seems that Archbishop La Mario is going to develop here to compete for believers.

He even wanted to ask the Pope to come to this paradise on earth to serve as the archbishop of the church in the East. He left excitedly, next to him was the jealous Earl of Parmond. He could not abandon his territory and ran to such a far east, which made him very jealous of Archbishop La Mario's luck.

However, he also bought a piece of land here. When he was about to go back, he lobbied his fellow tribe's brother to bring his two handsome nephews and three beautiful nieces to settle in this most beautiful, rich and full of vitality. I believe that his family will stand out from the aristocratic group because of this. Yes, in Oriental dialect, it will stand out from now on!

Zhengde and others did not inform the local government. It was not good to clear all tourists and wander around the scenery alone. What Zhengde hated the most was the life of a widowed saint. It was rare to leave Beijing once, so why would he not indulge once?

So, Mr. Zhu and Mr. Yang took the five beauties out for a trip.

The upper Jewelry Lane and the lower Jewelry Lane are a prosperous place for gold, silver and jewelry; Mishi Lane, Chaimu Lane, and Caishi Bridge are lively markets. The Wazi Theater is everywhere in the city. These places are the most lively. The public security is naturally the most chaotic, but Emperor Zhengde and the princesses naturally do not bother to go shopping in these places. This made Jiang Bin feel much more relieved.

Jiang Bin wore a hero scarf on his head, dressed in a short dress, a samurai newspaper with a centipede button, and a nunchaku was inserted around his waist. Jiang Bin was originally a ruffian with two scars on his face. He stood there with a chest and a belly-sagging fox pretending to be a tiger. If it weren't for Zhengde, Yang Ling and the five beauties behind him, they would be like a guard guard who followed the playboy to the streets. Who could tell that this was General Jiang from Jinling City?

It was spring, and it was best to admire the willow waves and the orioles. Zhengde and his group rented a flower boat and visited the lake until almost noon. They also walked under the willows in the long dike.

Zhengde and Tang Yixian walked side by side, and the little girl Yongchun always told Xiang'er to her sister. Xiang'er originally felt that she didn't care so much about Yang Ling, but when she saw a couple walking in front, she sometimes whispered and sometimes chuckled, and her eyebrows were coming and going, and she felt a different feeling, but she felt sour in her heart, but it was difficult to show it.

Zhang Fubao stopped the three sisters and thoughts in his eyes. He didn't feel funny. She didn't want to pay attention to Yang Ling's actions, but now she wanted to take a look from time to time. Seeing a pair of beautiful people in front of her, tender and sweet, she unexpectedly remembered the dream situation in the day and night, and imagined that if Yang Ling was so caring for her, she would have been so uncomfortable... Then she felt uncomfortable.

The sun shines out with tenderness, the spring breeze blows romance, silky weeping willows embellish the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, and the orioles whisper among the willows. Rows of tender willows are reflected in the green waves, shimmering with the sunshine, the infinitely beautiful lake and mountain scenery.

On the beautiful Xizi Lake, the green willows are in shade and the breeze is lingering. Since she has done that kind of intimate thing with Yang Ling, Yongfu and Yangling have mixed oil in the honey. The beautiful atmosphere that emits makes Yongchun and Xianger, who are no less than her, have a little jealous. Walking gently beside Yang Ling, the center of her earth is flying like the spring breeze. The beautiful water is waving and looking out for infinite feelings.

"What are you doing when you look at me like this?" Yang Ling stared at Yongfu's little mouth and smiled wickedly.

Yongfu gave him a coquettish look and said hatefully: "What do you think they are doing?"

Yang Ling blinked and whispered: "Where did I see?"

Yongfu's face turned red, he pouted and said, "I will ignore you next time."

Yang Ling covered her mouth and coughed, looking at the Zhengde couple in front of her, but in the voice that Princess Yongfu heard, "Oh, Ning'er ignores Brother Ling. I wonder if it will be sad if it is neglected?"

Yongfu's eyes turned, and he aroused his curiosity and said in surprise: "Who is sad if you are neglected?"

Yang Ling hooked Yongfu's eyes and pulled them down his robe. He said with a smile: "It...ah..."

"Ah!" Princess Yongfu was angry and shy, and clenched her fists and wanted to use his back as a drum. Fortunately, she saved her from being on the street. Princess Yongfu gave him a jealous look and said with a red face, "You are not allowed to say it!"

Yang Ling touched his nose and said with a muffled smile: "Don't say, don't say."

Princess Yongfu's face was red, her mouth was smiling, her heart was sweet, she walked for a while as if she was floating, and suddenly said, "There are so many people here, I really want to go to a leisurely place to have a walk."

"How?" Yang Ling looked around, there were so many people. I thought there were too many people. I thought I had been here at the time. At that time, if I wanted to have fewer people on the long dike of the willow waves and the warblers, I had to come in the middle of the night. It was too many. I really didn't know how lucky I was.

"That's better... go to Wansong Academy, it should be quieter," Yang Ling suggested.

"Wansong Academy? What is that place? Is it also a famous place?" Princess Yongfu asked strangely.
To be continued...
