Qiaoyin in the distance finally walked over, looking at Yang Chendong with gentle eyes, but after seeing Lele crying, he couldn't help but take the child with distressed hands, "Young master, Lele is still young, I haven't seen you for so long, I'm afraid I have forgotten you." ”

"I can't forget that I'm also her father." Yang Chendong said disappreliantly, and then made a grimace towards Lele in his mother's arms.

Originally, Lele, who came to his mother's arms, suddenly felt a sense of security, and then began to look curiously at the strange man in front of him who was playing with him, and when he saw him make a grimace at himself, he immediately forgot everything about what had just happened, and laughed out loud.

I'm afraid it's a blood relationship, it's a father and daughter after all, even if it's a little strange for a while, but it will soon become familiar again.

Yang Chendong came back, and he still returned to Chiji City as the king of Wunan, and immediately some high-level officials came to Yang Chendong to say goodbye, and at the same time, they also reported on their work for more than a year.

In the past year or so, the development of Chichicheng has been gratifying, especially the congratulations that the first batch of students of Chichicheng Academy have graduated from their six-year studies. Most of them are talented adults, and they have a certain cultural foundation, and they learn things relatively quickly. And some of them have already made some remarkable achievements in the fields of numbers, physics, chemistry and so on. For example, the success of the development of the Ninth Five-Year Plan is closely related to the participation of some students.

With the graduation of the first batch of 100 students, all units and departments are rushing for VIPs as if they were looking forward to the stars and the moon. These are all students of the Yang department, and they are all one of Yang Chendong's disciples, they have a lot of understandings that are different from this era, once they are introduced into their own department, the benefits are far greater than imagined.

Not only did the first batch of six-year students begin to graduate, but 600,000 ordinary people who have learned some Chinese characters have become apprentices. Some of them have more or less learned some crafts, and there is no problem with self-reliance, and the most important thing is that they are grateful to Yang Chendong, because they are the people who were sold to the Yang family by Nanming in the first place. At the beginning, they were all skinny and skinny, not much different from those who were about to die, but now they all have ruddy complexions and skills, and they belong to the existence that can be moved to various places at any time and used as the main force.

In the eyes of many people, the expansion of Yang's forces is already very fast, but in fact, it can still be faster, mainly considering that it is necessary to occupy the land and occupy the city, and it is meaningless to occupy such an occupation. Now that he had these 600,000 loyal Han people in his hands, he would have enough to conquer a large area to rule.

The good news is one after another, and the efforts made in the Red Embedded City over the years are finally beginning to pay off, and it also indicates that the power of the Yang family is likely to reach a new level in the future.

Back in Chichicheng, in addition to meeting all kinds of people, going to various factories and units to inspect and put forward opinions, the most Yang Chendong did in the palace was to accompany his daughter Lele to play and work hard at night.

There is no way, Yang Chendong's love for Lele is beyond everyone's liking, and even every night as long as he has time, he will personally coax his daughter to sleep and tell her patiently

story, and then I will accompany the ladies.

This made several ladies who originally thought that he didn't like children understand that it was not that the husband didn't like children, but that he had never had children of his own. Even if the husband likes children so much, why don't they hurry up and wait? With this time Yang Chendong spent the New Year in Chiji City, he had to work hard every night, but fortunately, the exercise never stopped, and the body could still eat.

In the blink of an eye, 1456 arrived.

Naturally, the New Year was spent in the palace of the Red Castle King, and this was also the first New Year he had since he became the King of Nanbu, and it was very lively.

Compared with the liveliness of Chiji City, the life of Zhu Huixuan, the king of Nanming, is becoming more and more sad. Under a year of hard fighting, he finally lost the momentum without a background, under the attack of Zhu Qizhen, the emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty and Mu Bin, the king of Xiping, he has lost a quarter of his territory, and in this way, the power is still shrinking, if it were not for the support of the Miao people, I am afraid that it would have been unable to hold on. But even so, defeat is now in place, and without external forces, it is only a matter of time before we lose this war.

Zhu Qizhen of Yingzong of the Southern Ming Dynasty, this year is quite good. When all the food was purchased by the five-star army, and it was still purchased at a low price, his pressure was much less, and the soldiers did not need to continue to train in Tuntian and wait for the battlefield, which virtually strengthened the strength of the army, and won victory in the face of the army of King Nanming.

It's just that Zhu Qizhen ignored one thing, that is, the army's food is not worried, but what about ordinary people? For many people, farming is the only thing they can do, and the only thing they can do. But now, the state does not attach any importance to farming, and there is no help that should be given, and the taxes that should be collected will not be less at all. Except for some big landlords, who still have a lot of land and can still maintain, such as those ordinary people, who have only a few points of land on average, they can't survive at all. In order to survive, in desperation, they began to look for other ways to survive, and the Five Star Army shelter near Lang Son became a place where many people aspired.

The Langshan Shelter was specially ordered by Yang Chendong to be built in order to shelter the Han people who were homeless and had no way to live under the war. There is enough food and enough wagons, so that as long as the Han people escape here, they can be fed and clothed, and the soldiers of the Five Star Army stationed here can also ensure their safety. I also heard that after coming here, you will soon be picked up, and only those who perform well will soon be divided into large pieces of fertile land, and then live a rich life.

With the continuous emergence of the Han people in the Red Embedded City, and even secretly entering the realm of Nanming, this kind of statement is being said by example along the way, and its influence is getting bigger and bigger, so that in just one year, there are more than one million fewer people in the realm of Nanming. It's just that because Nanming has a population of tens of millions, and most of the people who fled were the lowest-level people who had no way out, it didn't attract much attention.

"Intensify our efforts, we are sending people to bring a large amount of food to the shelter, in a word, there is only one breath left, and when we come to the shelter of all the Han people, we must save him and give him a new life." In the city lord's mansion of Chiji City, Yang Chendong and Yu Qian sat opposite each other, and when they talked about the affairs of Nanming, King Nanwu said in a tone that did not allow any questioning.

is so sympathetic to Yang Chendong

Love the people, Yu Qian is a hundred in favor, but when he thought of some opposition below, he couldn't say: "His Royal Highness King Nanwu, in this way, we need to pay more money and food, some people say that it is not worth it just in exchange for some people who don't know a single word." ”

"." Yang Chendong directly called back this statement. "If the people are illiterate, it is not their choice, it is really controlled by the system and the environment. How many of the people who are now embedded in the Red Embedded were literate? If they can learn, why can't others learn it? Lord Yu, if someone says such a thing in the future, you let him talk directly to this king, but you have to see how many heads they have. ”

Yang Chendong rarely said with a reprimand, which shows that the status of Hanmin in his heart is very high. And such a decision made Yu Qian happy, he was originally an alternative in the Ming officialdom, and he was also a person who asked for the people's life, and now someone not only maintains the same idea as him, but more importantly, he has the qualifications to make a promise, how to make him not happy. But at the same time, he also had a concern, that is, what to do with so many Hermes-Epitek? The entire Chichi City, and even the entire land on Xiaoliuqiu Island, have been developed in the past few years, and if there are more people, there will really be no land to plant.

"King Wunan, judging from the current situation on Xiaoliuqiu Island, there is no need for too many people, even if some factories still need people, but after all, the number needed is limited, and the arrival of these people now will only increase our burden." Saying the worry in his heart, Yu Qian stared at Yang Chendong, he wanted to see his hole cards, which would be a great peace of mind for how he would do things in the future.

To others, Yang Chendong only expressed his goodwill to Hermes-Epitek, but he did not fully expose his ambitions. But in the face of Qian, a person who is truly loyal to the Han family, Yang Chendong did not hide the meaning of tucking in, firstly, he knew that the other party was strict-mouthed, secondly, his own ideals did not conflict with the other party's ideas, and he would be supported, and thirdly, as the city lord of Chiji City, in fact, the highest governor of the Yang Department in charge of the place, it was also necessary for him to know his thoughts.

So, in front of outsiders, Yang Chendong expressed his ideals for the first time. "Yu City Lord, Chiji City doesn't need so many Han people, but other places still need it. For the real Hermes-Epitek, we will only be too little, not too much. ”

"What does King Wunan mean..."Yu Qian seemed to understand, but he didn't seem to fully understand.

"The meaning is very simple, the territory of our Yang family will not be limited to the present, the land around Daming is what you can see, but there are more places that you can't see, such as the western world where Portugal and Spain are located, and in the future, it will be like Laos Province and other places, which will be our territory." When he said this, Yang Chendong's eyes carried a hint of expectation, with a hint of heat.

As the lord of Chichicheng City, the vigorous development of commerce is also within his jurisdiction, so naturally Yu Qian is no stranger to Western countries such as Portugal and Spain. As far as he knew, it was also a very vast place, but because it was too far away, he had to cross the sea, so he didn't pay much attention to it. Unexpectedly, Yang Chendong actually hit all the ideas there, what kind of ambition does that represent, Yu Qian was really shocked for a while.
