As Long Qian Xing walked out of Nan Hua's room, he thought about his last conversation with Song Chuan.
It seemed that they were discussing about the future development of Cheng City. The river trade has been implemented and there were more businessmen coming over to Cheng City.
With them here, the economy in Cheng City will be better.
But it was not enough.
Long Qian Xing knew very well that Fei Yang Kingdom seemed to be prosperous but in fact, they lacked many things. It was just that these things were not very obvious in Cheng City because of various reasons.
One of them was naturally the influence of the Long and the Nan Family.
These two families were the powerful family in Fei Yang Kingdom and this has been that way for a long time. Even before Emperor Yang Zhou sat on that throne, the two family had been controlling many things in this city.
The previous emperor… well, Emperor Yang Zhou's grandfather and not his father, had tacitly agreed to let them develop here along with the Shangguan Family.
But now, only two families were left.
And from their marriage, the voice in Cheng City had turned into one.
'Presumably, this is one of the reasons why he didn't choose to stay here. In fact, he could have stopped it a long time ago but since he didn't, he should have agreed to it tacitly.'
Long Qian Xing knew very well that Emperor Yang Zhou is still an emperor.
Being born and raised in the Imperial Family, he had learned about the methods of dividing people and to restrict their power so that the most powerful one should only be the Imperial Family. A ruler had to be strong and knew how to use and control his subordinates.
If he let his subordinates be too powerful to the point that he couldn't control them, then he would be putting his own life on the line.
And this is a behavior that he couldn't and shouldn't do in the slightest bit.
Emperor Yang Zhou understood this.
And it was also because of this that Long Qian Xing knew that if he had become an official, he would have been restricted. He chose to become a general so that he could have more room for development.
But…
'This is already the limit.'
Long Qian Xing sighed.
Thankfully, Emperor Yang Zhou didn't have any plan to stay in Cheng City for the rest of his life and instead moved the capital city away. With him moving the capital city away, even if Long Qian Xing had some ideas, it would be harder to realize.
Besides, there were other families that had started to develop here.
It was also because of this balance that Emperor Yang Zhou allowed Long Qian Xing to mess around and didn't make trouble to him.
