The weight of a general carriage is only about a thousand catties, and a thousand tons of goods need to be carried by two thousand carriages.

  Now it’s a train, and it can be done in one go, greatly improving efficiency.

  Although the investment was large at the beginning, everyone can see how promising this kind of train is.

  So soon, Lianghuai salt merchants and local tycoons also learned to build railways. But they can't buy steam engines, so they can only use horse-drawn carts to pull goods.

  Even so, because of the railway, the transport capacity of the horse-drawn carriage has been greatly increased. One horse can pull eight tons of goods, and the transportation cost has been greatly reduced.

  …

   Four years after Tianshou, Xiang Nan gave Adu to Gu Jian as his concubine.

  Before this, Gu Jian had already married Chai Mu's daughter Mingyue.

  It turns out that Xiang Nan asked Chai Mu to investigate Mingyue in Mingyufang, just to give him a chance to recognize his daughter.

  After the death of Princess Mingyuan, Gu Jian returned to Shangjing.

  Chai Mu knew that his daughter liked Gu Jian, so he tried his best to match them up.

  Gu Jian originally only liked Qu Xiaofeng, but at that time Qu Xiaofeng was already a mother, so it was absolutely impossible for him to have an affair with him.

  In addition, he owed Chai Mu too much, so he married Mingyue.

  Mingyue originally complained to Chai Mu, because when Gu and Chen's family were killed, Chai Mu had a chance to save his own family, but in the end he went to save Gu Jian, causing her and her mother to be buried alive.

  So she never wanted to forgive Chai Mu for the rest of her life.

  But after those years, Chai Mu's constant atonement, constant confession, and this marriage, Mingyue finally accepted her father again.

  Xiang Nan knew that A'Du also liked Gu Jian.

   Moreover, she has also reached the age when she should leave the palace, otherwise she should be an old lady.

  That's why he married her to Gu Jian.

  Gu Jian didn't want to agree at first, but the king's order is hard to disobey.

   Besides, he really owed A'Du, so he agreed.

  …

  Seven years after Tianshou, the Empress Dowager died.

  Xiang Nan held a grand funeral for her.

  At the end of the seventh year of Tianshou, Yongning chose to become a monk.

  She has seen through everything in the palace since she was very young, knowing that although the royal princess is noble, she is only a tool of power.

   Whom to marry and who to like are not involuntary, so make up your mind not to marry.

  After Xiang Nan ascended the throne, he completely abolished the policy of "peace and marriage". Moreover, he did not force Yongning to get married.

  So Yongning has always been her princess in the palace, accompanying the empress dowager and queen.

   Now that the empress dowager is dead, she doesn't want to stay in the palace anymore, but she doesn't want to marry and get involved in the power vortex, so she can only choose to become a monk.

  Xiang Nan helped her build a nunnery at the foot of the West Mountain where the Mausoleum of the Empress Dowager is located, which is clean and can accompany the Empress Dowager.

  …

   In the decades that followed, the Rich Dynasty became more and more prosperous.

  The army of the rich dynasty relied on advanced muskets, artillery, and iron-clad ships to frighten the barbarians, and attracted all nations to come to the court and bow their heads one after another.

By virtue of advanced ocean-going technology, the merchants of the Rich Dynasty have extended their trade territory to Southeast Asia, Tianzhu, Africa, Europe and other places. They exchanged tens of millions of tea, silk, porcelain, glass, clocks, etc. produced by the Rich Dynasty. Silver, gold.

  The financial revenue of the Feng dynasty reached an astonishing 150 million guan, which was five times that of Li Xi when he was in power.

  The strength of the army and the development of commerce have made the cultural and technological level of the Rich Dynasty higher and higher, even approaching the overall level of European countries in the Age of Discovery.

  In the past few decades, Xiang Nan has given birth to more than a dozen princes and princesses.

  However, he never established the crown prince.

   All the ministers persuaded him at first, hoping that Xiang Nan would become a crown prince as soon as possible.

  Xiang Nan refused to agree for a long time, and even demoted several officials for this.

   After 20 years of delay, Xiang Nan is still not ready to set up a reserve.

   Seeing this, the ministers remonstrated again and wrote a letter together, hoping that Xiang Nan would stop being willful.

  Xiang Nan took advantage of the situation and proposed the "secret storage" system.

  The officials had no choice but to take a step back.

  …

  During the tenth year of Tianshou, Qu Wencheng, the prince of Xizhou, passed away, and Qu Xiaofeng's brother Qu Tianze succeeded to the throne.

  In the fourteenth year of Tianshou, Chai Mu passed away.

  Twenty years after Tianshou, Empress Dowager Zhang Meiniang passed away.

   Thirty-one years after Tianshou, Zhao Sesur passed away.

  In the 51st year of Tianshou, Qu Xiaofeng's life came to an end.

  She lived to be seventy-one years old. The so-called life of seventy is rare in ancient times, which is considered a long life.

  In seventy-one years, she has hardly suffered much. In Xizhou, everyone loves her, and when she came to Feng Dynasty, she was also a princess and queen, with a high position and authority, and everyone admired her.

   Therefore, she has almost no regrets in her life.

   "Li Chengyin, in the next life, I will marry you, okay?" She held Xiang Nan's hand.

   "Forget it in the next life." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled, "I have to find someone smart in the next life."

   "I hate it, at this point, you don't even know how to coax me." Qu Xiaofeng scolded, "No matter what you say, I'm already pestering you."

   "Yes." Xiang Nan nodded.

  Qu Xiaofeng closed his eyes in peace.

  A moment later, Xiang Nan heard a familiar prompt.

   "Li Chengyin is very grateful to the host for helping him realize his wish, so that he can be with Qu Xiaofeng for life."

   "The mission is complete, the host is about to return!"

   Immediately, the door of light flashed again. The powerful suction from inside the door sucked Xiang Nan's soul out of Li Chengyin's body, and sucked it into the light door.

   Immediately afterwards, a series of pictures flashed in front of Xiang Nan's eyes, all of which were things he did in the world of "Eastern Palace" and people he knew.

There are scenes of him hunting and killing the white-eyed wolf king alone, there are pictures of him leading the army to break through King Danchi's tent, there are pictures of him overthrowing Li Chengye and being crowned prince, there are pictures of him and Qu Xiaofeng getting married, and there are pictures of him ascending the throne For the picture of the emperor, there is a picture of him eradicating Gao Xiang and his party...

  In short, all are good memories.

   "Does the host consume [Memory Stone] to keep all the memories of this life?" At this time, the system prompted again.

  Xiang Nan thought about it, and clicked No.

  Being an emperor seems to be all-powerful and majestic, but in fact it is far from that easy.

   It takes four or five hours to review memorials every day. In addition, discussing state affairs with the court, discussing national policies with the cabinet, diplomacy with the Siyi kingdoms, and connecting with the concubines in the harem... There is no time for myself.

  After Xiang Nan became the emperor this time, he realized why there were so many foolish emperors in ancient times. For him, this memory is really not very good, and it is far worse than being a rich man and being happy.

   "As a reward to the host, Li Chengyin is willing to donate his experience in governance and a pinch of water from the Forgotten River." At this time, he heard the system prompt again, "Congratulations to the host for getting the World Stone reward!"

  Xiang Nan was taken aback for a moment, then opened his eyes.

   After inspecting his own gains, he felt that these rewards were not bad.

  In the play, Li Chengyin is a wise emperor. He has been the emperor for decades and managed the rich dynasty very well, so he has accumulated a lot of experience in governing. If Xiang Nan becomes emperor again in the future, it will be much easier.

  As for the water of Wangchuan, Li Chengyin found it in the western region. After drinking, you can forget the one you love. This wondrous item will do wonders for many quests.

  So Xiang Nan is very satisfied.
