Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 263 Fish cannot live without water, and melons cannot live without seedlings

After Qu Shixu became the magistrate of Baodao Prefecture, he devoted himself to intense and busy official duties. All kinds of businesses were waiting to be done, and there were so many things to do.

Fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor said that the Spring Festival will be celebrated on Treasure Island this year, and Luanjia will stay in Proventia City for a while.

The emperor stayed on the island, and Qu Shixu had a backbone. Whenever there was a difficulty, as long as he reported it truthfully, he could quickly get the emperor's guidance and support, and he would not be overwhelmed when doing things.

Li Cunming sent Black Peony to the Penghu Islands again to detoxify Zheng Hongkui's army.A few days later, Zheng Hongkui and Huang Deli led the fleet to Baodao to meet the emperor, and they would also accompany the emperor to spend the Spring Festival on the island.

Li Cunming issued another imperial decree, asking Zhu Tiangui to lead troops to station on Baodao as the commander-in-chief of Fujian, and cooperate with Qu Shixu to guard and manage the place.

After the personnel arrangement was completed, Li Cunming rarely had free time, and finally he could rest for a few days.

Seeing the New Year's Eve getting closer, Li Cunming was greatly moved, thinking to himself that after the New Year's Eve, it would be 20 years since Chongzhen, and he had traveled to the Ming Dynasty for three full years.

In the first year, he moved south and flattened Jiangbei;

In the second year, the Donglin Party was suppressed, the party disputes were quelled, and the Western Expedition was won;

In the third year, continue to implement the New Deal, develop the economy, and then expropriate Fuhao Jingao and Dongfan Island in the south.

The internal conflicts of the Ming Dynasty eased a lot, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. It was a thriving scene, which can be described as extraordinary achievements.

Li Cunming stood on the city wall, looking at the surging sea water, his heart was surging.He turned his head and said with a smile: "Half of the Ming Dynasty is finally as solid as a rock, and I can calmly deal with the Tartars!"

Huang Degong said: "Since moving to the south, Your Majesty has had a difficult journey. Now I am very happy to see that my Ming Dynasty is full of vitality."

The other courtiers were also expressing their admiration and joy. Li Cunming looked at Chen Yuanyuan and said, "Do you still think I'm a fool?"

"Your Majesty is not a fool, but he is not a decent person either!" Chen Yuanyuan gave Li Cunming a blank look and blushed.

Li Cunming smiled and said: "Why are you blushing? I understand. Didn't it mean that I accidentally kissed you that night and had an argument with you? You won't keep it in your heart, right? Chen Yuanyuan, your kiss is today, so don't suffer !"

"Look, I just said that your majesty is not serious." Chen Yuanyuan blushed and ran down the city wall in a hurry.

Why are you so arrogant?Li Cunming pouted.

The courtiers were used to bickering between His Majesty and Chen Yuanyuan, so they all suppressed their laughter, pretending to be dumb and turning a blind eye.

Li Cunming looked at the bay from a distance, and said to Zheng Chenggong: "Zelandia City, Proventia City, these are the names given by the Dutch, and they are really hard to pronounce. Uncle Zhongxiao, you should change them."

Zheng Chenggong thought for a while and said, "How about changing Zeelandia City to Anping City and Proventia City to Chixian City?"

"Okay, very good!" Li Cunming clapped his hands and smiled.

At this time, a Jin Yiwei came to report that Gong Yonggu had returned. He brought the chiefs of the Gaoshan tribe and several indigenous tribes to meet the saint and waited in the government office.

Li Cunming immediately returned to the government office and said with a smile: "Gong Aiqing, if you don't come back, I won't be in the mood for a New Year's Eve dinner!"

Gong Yonggu laughed, and then introduced the patriarchs.The patriarchs hurriedly knelt down to pay their respects, Li Cunming waved his hands and said, "There is no need to be polite, we are one family."

The patriarch of the Gaoshan clan stood up and respectfully offered four gifts, namely gold, silver, straw, and soil, and said in a loud voice: "It is our honor and blessing that the Son of Heaven comes, and I wish your majesty a long life and good health, long live without borders! "

Li Cunming looked at these things, and after thinking for a while, he only accepted the soil, and didn't want the other three things.

He was very happy to say to the patriarch: "We are all the same people, and we all love our land. This is not just a piece of land, but also our memory, the place where our ancestors pioneered. We stood quietly on the island , you can smell the fragrance of the soil, and all of our hearts are stuck together, and we all have a common and beautiful hope."

Seeing His Majesty's behavior, the patriarch asked, "Among the four gifts, gold is the most precious thing. Why didn't Your Majesty accept gold, but only soil?"

Li Cunming replied with a smile on his face: "Land is the most precious thing. Gold can grow in the land!"

The patriarch said again: "Your Majesty, please choose another gift, and let it be good things come in pairs."

Li Cunming still did not accept the gold and silver, but took the straw, and said in a loud voice: "Treasure Island will always be the territory of my Ming Dynasty, and we will always be one family. Farming and harvesting on this land, we want a good harvest every year, All the people are healthy and happy, living and working in peace and contentment, what a wonderful thing this should be!"

When several patriarchs saw the emperor's actions and heard the emperor's words, tears filled their eyes and were extremely moved.

"Ding, a total of 20000 positive emotion points have been obtained from the chiefs of the indigenous tribes."

The patriarch of the Gaoshan Tribe wiped away his tears and said excitedly: "Your Majesty is truly a wise king. We and the native tribes will follow His Majesty forever, and we will be the people of the Ming Dynasty for generations!"

Li Cunming held the patriarch's hand and asked sincerely: "Old man, what else do you want to tell me and the officials?"

"Your Majesty, if you treat us as your subjects, we will treat you as your father!" the patriarch said frankly.

Li Cunming looked at the officials present seriously, and said earnestly: "Have you heard? The patriarch's words represent the aspirations of the local people. The relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the people of Baodao should be that fish cannot live without water." , melons are inseparable from seedlings, you must keep this in mind!"

"Your servant, please remember!"

Li Cunming helped the patriarch of the Gaoshan clan, and then greeted the other patriarchs: "Everyone, come to the banquet with me, and celebrate the Spring Festival with me."

The banquet was lively and festive, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.At night, thousands of fireworks rise into the sky and bloom, which are gorgeous and colorful.The three armies cheered, and the sound of long live echoed in the city for a long time.

The patriarch of the Gaoshan clan said to his companions privately: "Your Majesty is different from the Dutch, really different. I will become a citizen of the Ming Dynasty in the future, and I will no longer be a helpless person floating on an isolated island in the sea. No one can bully us!"

The Spring Festival passed in a joyous atmosphere. On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the emperor decided to leave Baodao and go north to Nanjing.

When the people in the city heard the news, they all came to the port to see him off, reluctant to leave.Even the people of Anping City across the bay gathered on the coast to see the emperor off when they heard the news.

The fleet left the port mightily, and the common people chased the ships and ran along the shore, waving their arms and shouting: "Your Majesty, have a good journey!"

"Your Majesty, please remember us, and come back later to take a look at Treasure Island and us common people!"

Li Cunming turned his head, his eyes were moist, and he said goodbye to the common people.

The sky is blue and the sea is blue, there is no cloud in the sky, and the infinite hope spreads out like a boundless ocean. Li Cunming is full of longing for the future.
