Emperor Hongzhi's expression calmed down.

At least, that's a reason.

Every winter is the time for the people to serve labor service. Although the Baoding Provincial Administration Commission has adopted the method of using taxes instead of service, other places still need to serve as usual.

This is a thing of the past.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "No wonder there is no one along the way."

Zhao Yi smiled and said, "Not to mention those grass-roots people, since Mr. Zhu is here, let's have a meal here. Oh, Mr. Zhu is from Beijing. A few days ago, someone had a news that it was... We in Changping, we are going to build a railway. Can Mr. Zhu know about this?"

Emperor Hongzhi looked surprised and looked at Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan smiled and said, "How can we know? Maybe... there are some."

Zhao Yi smiled and said, "No one is paying attention to us in Changping. At this moment, the Crown Prince came down to train troops. He suddenly said that he wanted to build a railway. After that, His Majesty actually came here in person. It's really strange."

Lu Wenli, who was standing beside him, said: "I heard that Mr. Mao Ji has a lot of complaints about road construction."

Zhao Yi nodded and took a sip of tea: "Yes, the people are suffering. Once the road is built, it will inevitably disturb the people. At that time, I don't know how much land I will be expropriated and what troubles will be caused. The first thing the people do is to educate, otherwise, it will harm them."
