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

Ning Fan had to admit that Luo Cheng was good at grasping human nature. He accurately controlled Ning Fan's psychology.

"Your Majesty, do you want the people in Kyoto to arrest Luo Yong's family? This kind of thing must be eradicated."

Luo Cheng looked at Ning Fan, as if waiting for Ning Fan to make a decision.

Ning Fan shook his head without any hesitation: "Luo Yong was just confused for a moment and let it go if he did something wrong. We will declare to the outside world that Luo Yong died in battle and provide strict compensation to his family."

Ning Fan made such a decision after thinking for a while, and Luo Cheng showed an expression of disbelief after hearing Ning Fan's decision. He did not expect that Ning Fan would be so tolerant.

It took a full month for the impact of the mutiny to be completely eliminated. By the time all the Dragon Scale Army in Qingzhou had evacuated and rushed to the north, there would no longer be any trace of the Dragon Scale Army in the entire Qingzhou.

In the woods, Ning Fan looked solemnly at a small mound. Buried in this mound was none other than Ning Fan's former subordinate Luo Yong.

Looking back on Luo Yong's life, Ning Fan felt a lot of emotion in his heart. In fact, it may not be because of Luo Yong's cruelty.

Times make heroes, and Luo Yong came from a rough background. The biggest wish of a poor peasant boy in his life is to keep climbing up.

All the celebrations were carried out in an orderly manner under the supervision of Ning Fan. Large areas of fertile land were planted with sweet potatoes. Just waiting for the harvest in a few months, Dakang's grain output will usher in another leap forward. .

September has arrived in the blink of an eye and the weather has turned colder. At this time, Xiao Chong, who was stationed in the north, also sent a telegram to Ning Fan.

During this period, the Rakshasa people fought for Blackwater City several times, but they all ended in failure. Xiao Zhong had the experience of sitting at the border for many years, so he was very experienced in dealing with the Rakshasa people. Even if the Rakshasa people tried their best, they could not get rid of Xiao Chong. to regain control of Blackwater City.

"Before the leaves fall, we must completely control the surrounding areas of Blackwater City."

After Ning Fan said this, the entire Dakang community was immediately mobilized. Within a few months, the railway had been built to Heishui City, and a large amount of supplies were pouring into Heishui City.

On a dark and windy night, Xiao Chong led his soldiers to use paragliders to descend from the sky and directly occupied the two major cities near Blackwater City.

At this point, everyone in the Rakshasa is in the north, and the last fortress has been breached.

"Your Majesty, the wood here is simply inexhaustible. As long as we make enough steel rails, it will be almost effortless to build the railway."

In the vast northern wilderness, Ning Fan's car, Shenlong No. 1, was galloping on the wide railway.

The Shenlong has already undergone a major power upgrade. Now, in addition to the two major power sources at the head and tail, two steam units are also added in the middle, so that the speed of the Shenlong can be increased three times compared to before.

This cost-effective transformation allowed Ning Fan to travel much faster than before. At this time, the train was running at high speed on the rails, and the birch trees on both sides were drifting back rapidly.

Looking at the vast wilderness outside the window, Ning Fan suddenly felt emotional in his heart.

There is a large wooden house not far from the window. There are many people active in the wooden house. These people are holding farm tools and are cultivating and planting in the vast wilderness.

"Your Majesty, this is the new crop we planted in the north called potatoes. The yield of this kind of thing is very high, similar to sweet potatoes, and the taste is no worse than sweet potatoes. What's even more rare is that this kind of thing is very cold-resistant. In this part of the north, The area is perfect for planting.”

Wang Tianjiang brought a plate of steamed potatoes, exuding an alluring aroma. Ning Fan took one and peeled off the skin of the potato easily.

The yield of potatoes is indeed no worse than that of sweet potatoes. In addition, potatoes are cold-resistant. In the black soil of the north, planting potatoes in winter can greatly improve Dakang's food supply.

"As long as we take two years to manage this black land in the north and fully develop the mineral resources here, our national strength in Dakang will be pushed forward to an unprecedented level."

Ning Fan spread out the map and saw that the blue area unique to Dakang on the map had expanded to the entire southern kingdom. Now the only remaining area in the southern kingdom was the Rakshasa Kingdom, the private land of the English.

"Your Majesty, should we consider using troops against the mainland of Rakshasa Kingdom next summer? Drive the Rakshasa Kingdom completely to the northern continent. The eastern continent will become our unique world."

Although Xiao Chong's hair was gray, the perseverance and determination in his eyes remained unchanged at all.

Ning Fan carefully observed the map, and finally he shook his head. The area where the Rakshasa Kingdom lived was uniquely endowed with vast permafrost as a natural isolation zone. It would be extremely difficult to capture the Rakshasa Kingdom.

"It is simply unrealistic to capture the Rakshasa Kingdom and attack from the vast land unless we can build a railway to the doorstep of the Rakshasa Kingdom. But this is also very unrealistic. After all, the frozen soil will become frozen once summer arrives. If it thaws, the railway will not be able to maintain operation for a long time on the vast frozen soil.”

After Ning Fan thought about it for a while, he finally gave up on this crazy idea.

In the parallel world before Ning Fan traveled through his previous life, Napoleon of France had suffered a huge setback in the Rakshasa Kingdom, and Ning Fan did not want to make the same mistake again.

If you want to conquer the Rakshasa Kingdom, a natural difficulty is the climate. Every winter, the climate will drop to minus 30 or 40 degrees, which is definitely not something ordinary people can bear. In addition, there are problems such as material transportation and so on. It is basically impossible to capture the Rakshasa Kingdom.

"We have already obtained the most essential part of the Rakshasa Kingdom's land. As for the remaining land, it is too far away from the core of our Dakang. Even if we get it, it will be difficult to occupy it, so don't be too greedy and give it to the Rakshasa people. Leave some room for survival.”

Ning Fan said calmly.

The train was still speeding on the rails, and Ning Fan came to the window. At this time, Huang Yumeng was sitting in front of the train window, and there was a drawing board in front of her.

Surprisingly, what Huang Yumeng painted at this time was not an ink painting, but an oil painting. The technique of this oil painting was also taught by Ning Fan. The pigments were mixed by a special court painter. At this time, Huang Yumeng carefully painted As I smeared on the drawing board, an outline of a wilderness appeared on it.

As if she noticed Ning Fan coming behind her, Huang Yumeng raised her head and smiled at Ning Fan.

"Your Majesty is bringing your concubine with you on this trip. I hope it won't put too much burden on you."

Huang Yumeng said softly.

Ning Fan shook his head, reached out and pinched Huang Yumeng's shoulder, then pointed to the birch forest in the distance and said: "Don't paint too densely, there must be white space, so that the painting looks powerful. "
