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

"Good news, Your Majesty! Great news!"

In the early morning, after reading for a while, Ning Fan was planning to have some breakfast when the eunuch hurried in from outside.

"What's so fussy about this?"

Ning Fan felt relieved when he saw the joyful expression on the little eunuch's face.

The tone was somewhat relaxed and free, without any reproach.

"Your Majesty, it's Mr. Dog who has returned from Annan!"

The little eunuch Laifu said with excitement.

Ergou's status in the entire palace is unquestionable. As the chief internal officer, Ergou is very popular among these eunuchs.

This has a lot to do with Ergou's daily behavior. Ergou behaves like a bowl of water and enforces the law impartially without any favoritism, so these eunuchs are very convinced.

During the days when Ergou was not in the palace, Wang Xin was temporarily in charge of the eunuchs in the palace.

Although the eunuch Wang Xin has outstanding abilities and first-class management skills, he is mean and extremely arrogant towards his servants. Therefore, the eunuchs in the palace dislike Wang Xin.

Privately, these eunuchs were all looking forward to Ergou's return. Now that Ergou was back, these eunuchs were naturally cheering as if they were celebrating the New Year.

When he heard that Ergou had returned from Annan, Ning Fan didn't even bother to have breakfast, so he quickly changed into clothes and hurried towards the front yard.

Ergou was surrounded by a group of eunuchs, walking towards the palace where Ning Fan was. Just as they were walking opposite Ning Fan, Ergou saw Ning Fan from a distance and knelt on the ground.

"How's it going? Ergou, you've been sleeping rough all this time, but you're in good health."

Ning Fan looked at Ergou with a smile.

Hearing that Ning Fan did not ask whether the mission was completed, but instead showed concern for his own body in the first sentence, Ergou was so moved that his eyes turned red.

"Your Majesty, everything has been settled this time about sending ministers to Annan as envoy. Queen Annan also sent ministers to bring a letter."

Ergou took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Ning Fan. Ning Fan tore open the envelope and saw Juanxiu's handwriting flowing on the thin silk paper.

The handwriting of Queen Annan looks extremely graceful and has a very strong feminine color.

The content of this letter is very simple. It expresses loyalty to Ning Fan. At the end of the letter, the Queen of Annan expressed a small wish, that is, she hopes that Dakang can export some military equipment to Annan. .

Sure enough, the focus was on the final appearance. Queen Annan's thoughts were immediately understood by Ning Fan.

As Dakang's closest vassal state, Annan paid two million in labor at once. This sincerity was enough, and Ning Fan was naturally very satisfied with Annan.

"Your Majesty, during my mission to the Annan Kingdom, I also gained a preliminary understanding of the internal situation of the Annan Kingdom. Queen Annan's control over the country is not that strong."

While Ning Fan was reading the letter, Ergou seemed to have guessed the content of the letter.

Ning Fan put the letter away with a thoughtful expression on his face. Why are the political situations in these countries around Dakang unstable? Someone must be doing some tricks secretly.

For example, behind Miluo are the Rakshasa people who are doing small things, so who are behind the two countries of Annan and Dabo?

"The princes and nobles of Annan believe in a Western sect, and they highly respect missionaries. It is these princes and nobles who are opposed to Queen Annan, and the internal political situation in Annan is seriously divided."

In just a few words, Ergou explained the situation in Annan clearly. Ning Fan nodded and motioned for Ergou to follow him.

Entering the Dragon Palace, the eunuchs had already prepared the breakfast for Ning Fan.

"Ergou, you have come a long way and are covered with travel. Let's have dinner with you this morning. Let's chat while we eat."

Ning Fan motioned Ergou to sit down, which made Ergou a little flattered.

"Your Majesty, I am just an internal official. How dare you sit down in front of Your Majesty? Your Majesty is eating and I am serving you."

Ergou came to Ning Fan with a smile, took the teapot from Wang Xin, the eunuch next to him, and poured Ning Fan a cup of hot tea.

The two masters and servants have been getting along for more than ten years. When Wang Xin saw Er Gou and Ning Fan getting close, he felt hatred and jealousy in his heart.

His hard work these days not only failed to win Ning Fan's approval, but was scolded by Ning Fan several times. On the other hand, Ergou, a mere eunuch, was not only entrusted with important tasks by Ning Fan, but was also given a senior official title.

Wang Xin only glanced briefly, but the resentment in his eyes did not escape Ning Fan's eyes. His face turned slightly cold and he said coldly: "I have something to say to Father-in-law. You can go out first."

Ergou, the real general manager, came back from the outside, and Wang Xin, the fake general manager, was naturally removed from power. Although he was unwilling to do so, he couldn't say anything and could only walk outside with a dark face.

"Your Majesty, are you used to not having a servant around these days?"

Ergou picked up the chopsticks and gave Ning Fan a piece of glutinous rice cake, and put it on Ning Fan's plate.

Ning Fan picked up the glutinous rice cake with chopsticks and chewed it in small bites, with a thoughtful expression on his face. Ning Fan had already seen the resentful expression on Wang Xin's face just now and remembered it in his heart.

"It's okay. I'm used to you being around. Being out for such a long time suddenly makes me feel a little inconvenient many times."

Ning Fan thought for a while and then said to Ergou: "When will those two million laborers come to our Dakang?"

"This is exactly what I want to say. Two million laborers. If they are allowed to go all the way, it will take a long time, and there will be various accidents along the way. I want to make a suggestion, that is, let them go all the way. His Majesty sent several trains to transport this labor force directly to the north."

Ergou whispered.

Annan and Dakang face each other across the sea, with a short strait in between. As long as Dakang sends a few large ships, these laborers can be transported to Jiangnan one after another, and the railway between Jiangnan and Kyoto is the smoothest.

It is actually not difficult to transport these two million laborers to the north. Not only does it save time, it also saves a lot of food on the way.

"This matter is not difficult. The railway from Kyoto to the north has been planned. Shen Mengxi personally presided over it, and people from the Railway Bureau also participated. There is no problem with the railway planning. Eight railways will be built at the same time, and they must be in It will be completed within two months. The steel plants are working day and night to produce rails, and these rails have been shipped to the north one after another. "

Ning Fan agreed without even thinking about it. The suggestion made by Ergou was not selfish and was entirely for the sake of prosperity. In fact, Ning Fan would have done this even if Ergou had not mentioned this suggestion.
