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

Ning Fan didn't plan to stay in Kyoto for too long this time, because the steam train from Kyoto to Jiangnan had already started running. Several steam trains came to Kyoto every day, carrying a large amount of Jiangnan's customary goods.

Originally, there was an endless stream of grain-carrying ships in the canal, but since the advent of steam vehicles, the canal's carrying capacity has dropped significantly.

"Your Majesty, the country cannot be without a king for a day. Why are you leaving again?"

The other ministers didn't say anything, and Zhou Qun gave up. After all, Ning Fan was gone, and the pressure of the entire government was on him alone.

But Zhou Qun is the most careful and conscientious person in his work this time. Every time he does something, he will write a eloquent record. These days, Zhou Qun has lost a lot of weight from exhaustion. If Ning Fan never comes back to preside over the government, If so, I'm afraid his body will collapse from exhaustion.

"Zhou Qun, in fact, doing many things alone will be exhausting. The world is so big. With the development of the economy in the future, we will have more and more things to do in Dakang. You cannot handle the affairs of the entire world."

Ning Fan smiled and reached out to pat Zhou Qun on the shoulder.

Most of the time, Ning Fan is a very distant person. He will not get too close to people casually, let alone make any intimate gestures. But at this time, Ning Fan seems to be very close to Zhou Qun. .

"Your Majesty, I am a bit stupid and don't understand what Your Majesty means. Many things are done by others, so I cannot trust you. What if these people have selfish motives? What if these people use the power in their hands to seek benefits?"

Zhou Qun was a little nervous.

"As long as we establish a complete system, some problems can be completely avoided. I want to ask you a question. If you make ten people afraid, do you need to beat them all up before they see you? Are you afraid?" Ning Fan looked at Zhou Qun with a smile.

These two matters were originally unrelated. Zhou Qun didn't know why, but Ning Fan suddenly switched from handling government affairs to beating people. He was confused by Ning Fan's imagination for a while.

"Your Majesty, I am stupid and can't think of any way to do this. According to my idea, if these people are scared, then all of them will be beaten."

Zhou Qun frowned and said.

When Ning Fan heard what Zhou Qun said, he shook his head: "The way to deal with the problem is very simple. You only need to randomly select a person and beat him up severely. The other nine people will be afraid, because they are not as good as Knowing that bad luck will befall them one day, the same goes for dealing with government affairs.”

"You don't need to make everyone clean, but you have to do a good job of supervision at all times, and then catch one or two typical examples among these corrupt people, and then you can scare other people, at least make these people incorruptible for a short period of time. Don’t be too arrogant.”

"Sometimes power really needs to be delegated. After all, one person cannot handle everything. People are not machines. They need to rest, eat, and relax. Even if I return to Kyoto, I cannot handle these problems alone forever. Let’s deal with it, let’s solve it.”

After Ning Fan smiled, he finally revealed his true purpose. He looked at Zhou Qun seriously and said, "My suggestion is to establish a Government Affairs Council in Kyoto. The Government Affairs Council has various departments under its jurisdiction, and all the functions of the original six departments are combined." Integrated into the Government Affairs Council, everything will be done according to rules and procedures, and a set of procedures will be formulated, and anyone who violates the rules will be held accountable. "

"The entire process must have various records. If any problem occurs, we have to follow the process and investigate it. It will be easy to find who it is."

"The establishment of the system is to put power in a cage and restrict the disorder and expansion of power. You should know this better than me. Think about it. I will stay in Jiangnan for three months this time. , I will have a more in-depth chat with you after I come back in three months.”

Ning Fan didn't make his words too clear, he just hit the point. Many times when Ning Fan put forward a point, he didn't need to give too many instructions for the rest, because Zhou Qun was very smart and smart, and Ning Fan often said it in a few words. He would then be able to understand Ning Fan's true intentions.

It’s spring again in March, and although it may not be the time for all things to truly recover, the cold climate has weakened greatly.

"Your Majesty, can you let me go to Jiangnan with Your Majesty this time? I heard that there are several Taoist temples in Jiangnan that have profound Taoist people. I would like to visit famous mountains and travel around."

Huang Yumeng rarely asked Ning Fan for help, but when he did, Ning Fan would never refuse.

When they had dinner together in the evening, Ning Fan asked Xiao Lingxi's opinion. He actually wanted to take Xiao Lingxi to Jiangnan with him. After all, people's footprints in this era are actually very small, and their activity circles are often within a hundred miles of their birthplace. .

Xiao Lingxi has not been far away from Kyoto, but Ning Fan wants to take Xiao Lingxi with him to see the world.

"Your Majesty, one of us husband and wife must stay in Kyoto. Since you are going to Jiangnan, then I can only stay in Kyoto. If I am here, although I cannot make decisions on some matters, I can still make decisions. Stabilize the situation.”

Xiao Lingxi was also very happy when she heard the news that Ning Fan wanted to take her to Jiangnan, but after thinking about it, she declined politely.

As a queen and the mother of a country, she had to think about Ning Fan and the world. Although Ning Fan likes to be a hands-off shopkeeper, Xiao Lingxi is worried every day.

A big battle had just been fought on the front line, but Ning Fan had to leave Kyoto less than half a month after returning to Kyoto. Such a huge country is governed by the prime minister every day. This matter is not normal no matter how you look at it. They are all a little different from the original ones.

"Sister Ling Xi, some concepts need to be changed. The emperor does not have to be the only one to govern the world. How can the emperor alone manage so many people? Even if I am the destined emperor, I still have a clone. I’m so lacking in skills.”

Ning Fan smiled and didn't say much more. On the morning of the next day, Ning Fan took Song Chengzhou and several accompanying people to the station west of Kyoto.

Everything was built according to Ning Fan's original design. The general structure of the Beijing West Station was almost the same as Ning Fan's vision.

As the chief designer of the entire project, Shen Mengxi also came naturally. The brand-new steam locomotive stopped in front of Ning Fan, slowly emerging from the clouds and mist like a giant.

"Your Majesty, there is heavy fog this morning. Why don't we wait until the fog dissipates after sunrise before setting off."
