Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

"That's true. What Her Majesty the Princess said has some truth. Letting these distinguished guests enter the heavenly prison to escape is indeed an insult to the great health of our country. Well, today, there will be Jin Yiwei to take over the security of the chamber of commerce. At night, I will send a large number of royal guards to surround the entire guild hall, so as to ensure that not a single fly can fly in."

Although Ning Fan felt that doing so would be a bit hesitant, he had to take an attitude towards this matter. Two businessmen from the Dabo Kingdom were killed in succession, which in any case only showed that Dakang's Jin Yiwei was incompetent.

But the crux of the problem now is that the murderer is very cunning and leaves almost no clues. This is what gives Ning Fan the biggest headache.

There was no clue, but the proper attitude was still necessary. Ning Fan immediately made arrangements. On the one hand, he asked the Jin Yiwei to dispatch to protect the merchants of the Chamber of Commerce.

On the other hand, he personally visited the Daxiangguo Temple again, and if he kept thinking about it, there would be repercussions. Ning Fan believed that there must be ulterior secrets in the Daxiangguo Temple.

More than a dozen statues were secretly transported into the back hill of Daxiangguo Temple. It is impossible that the monks there were not aware of such a big movement.

"I still don't know much about the culture and customs of Dabo Country. Ergou, when you go back, go check it out for me and find out what the status of Buddhism is in Dabo Country."

In fact, Ning Fan should have thought of it a long time ago. It might be a secret, a secret between religious conflicts, because he had heard before that the businessmen of the Dabo Kingdom were extremely disrespectful to the Buddha.

Within the Daxiangguo Temple, it is very likely that some monks had thoughts of revenge due to some extreme thoughts, so they went all the way to those statues and took personal revenge on these businessmen.

Of course, this is just a conjecture of Ning Fan. He does not want the relationship between Dabo State and Dakang to completely break down because of this incident, so that his future business activities will be completely bankrupt.

Of course, Ning Fan would not put too much energy into the two murder cases. After all, there were a lot of things going on in Kyoto recently, one of which was the imperial examination, and the other was Ning Fan's wedding.

In fact, the date of Ning Fan's wedding almost overlaps with the date of the imperial examination, and there is already an important person rushing from the border to Kyoto. It is said that he will arrive in Kyoto tonight.

"Where are General Xiao's troops?"

At this time, Ning Fan was sitting in the palace, reviewing the memorial with a red pen.

At this time every day, the cabinet will send the selected memorials to Ning Fan. These memorials have been read by the bachelors of the cabinet and Zhou Qun. They will only send them if they think Ning Fan needs to see them. Most things have been screened by Ning Fan.

If anyone is sent to Ning Fan, it must be some acute problem, or something that cannot be solved, something that requires the emperor to make a decision.

For example, the memorial that Ning Fan was holding in his hand was sent by Song Chengzhou, the governor of Jiangnan.

The governor-general who was in charge of the seven provinces in Jiangnan also encountered difficulties. Jiangnan's first industrialized products had been sold in large quantities in Jiangnan, and citizens were eager to consume, almost causing a run!

But the same Jenny spinning machine made by Ning Fan produces gauze clothes of good quality and low price. It has had a huge impact on the handicraft workshops in Jiangnan. Now it is almost impossible to count the unemployed population in Jiangnan. Many people who used to specialize in making clothes Small workshops were closing down one after another, and these had no land, so they were faced with a dilemma.

The reason why Song Chengzhou is submitting this memorial now is to ask the court if there is any relief for handicraftsmen who have been impacted by industrialization.

After reading this memorial, Ning Fan also fell into deep thought. The current situation in Jiangnan is equivalent to the situation of the entire Dakang in the future. In the era of industrialization, the pace will advance step by step, and the people at the bottom will be the first. A batch of sacrifices.

Because industrialization first brings about the great development of productivity, cheap agricultural products will become extremely worthless, especially some handicraft products, which will become extremely cheap due to the impact of industrialization.

Nowadays, a large number of handicraftsmen in Jiangnan are severely unemployed. If these people cannot be fed, people will starve to death very quickly.

Ning Fan thought about it and finally thought of a way, which was to use the money earned from industrialization to repay these handicraftsmen who had lost their jobs.

In fact, the specific operation process is also very simple, that is, to improve infrastructure. Ning Fan wants to carry out large-scale construction in Jiangnan and vigorously build infrastructure.

So Ning Fan compiled his thoughts into a review and wrote it at the end of this memorial. The general meaning was to let Song Chengzhou start building a large number of roads in Jiangnan, and the road construction must follow the established plan.

The roads built in Jiangnan must be smooth and have foundation layers, etc. They must be designed to withstand the test of time and the high-speed running of horse-drawn carriages.

The steam engine is about to be successfully manufactured. Once the steam engine is built, the steam train will not be too far away. Now the entire Dakang is only one step away from entering the steam age.

As long as there are steam-powered trains, the transportation speed of the entire Dakang will directly increase, and it is imminent to build railways in various places.

In fact, Ning Fan had already thought about the specific construction method of the railway. In his spare time, Ning Fan also compiled some of his memories into a book and asked the Ministry of Industry to study the feasibility carefully.

To lay a railway, the first step is to survey the route. In this era, surveying the route has become extremely difficult. Because of the lack of a large number of surveying and mapping instruments and equipment, it is understandably difficult to build a functioning railway.

Ning Fan sent the memorial first, and then he began to prepare for the laying of railways. As long as the laying of railways began in Jiangnan, the large demand for labor would prompt a large number of unemployed craftsmen to re-employ.

"Your Majesty, there is news from outside the palace that General Xiao Zhongzhong has returned to Xiao Mansion, and he should come to visit your Majesty tomorrow."

Ergou walked in quietly, first turned on the lights a little brighter, and then carefully spoke in Ning Fan's ear.

"How's it going with the Dabo Chamber of Commerce? The people in Jinyiwei District didn't notice anything unusual, right? There should be no more trouble tonight."

Ning Fan didn't even raise his head. When he spoke, his eyes were fixed on the memorial in his hand.
