Taking advantage of his own great victory and consolidating the morale of the army and the people, Chen Xiang vigorously promoted the talent education and selection system, personally supervised the implementation, rewarded the big places, and personally corrected the wrong places, and finally established a rudimentary form of the education and training system.

After half a year of rectification, all systems have been put on the right track, especially under Chen Xiang's special attention and strong support, some of the money that the royal Necuri has saved up has been invested in the construction of engineering and business, and the training of business and engineering has achieved initial results and has gained a lot.

The trade between Qiongzhou Island and Nanyang and Siam and other countries has been resumed, and has been greatly strengthened, many people who have no land and less land, have joined the caravan to beg for food, so that the trade wind of the Song Dynasty has been carried forward again, and it has also directly led to the prosperity of the navigation industry and shipbuilding industry, Chen Xiang even built a navy of 2,000 people for the sea caravan to protect the safety of maritime trade, Chen Xiang even took the lead in becoming a joint-stock trading firm, raising private funds, and doing large-scale as soon as possible! In any case, the Song Dynasty was still the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire in the eyes of these small countries in the South Seas, and had a very blind worship of the goods produced in the Song Dynasty, so once the Song Dynasty took the initiative to do trade, it was almost invincible and very profitable!

The royal inner library, which was almost spent by Chen Xiang's "big spending", was also filled again, and it continued to increase!

With high profits and advanced technology, the Song army's navy maintained a considerable advantage and was indeed able to keep the caravan safe.

In terms of engineering, he invented and created many parts that could use wind and water power to improve labor efficiency, and also improved the black powder that already existed in the Song Dynasty, and made some actual combat weapons, which were popularized among the Janissaries.

Due to the prosperity of these two disciplines and the rise of maritime trade, the demand for business and engineering students has become extremely strong, and Chen Xiang has also deliberately tilted his resources to these two subjects, and has promoted many experts in engineering and business to enter the imperial court. Suddenly, the people became more enthusiastic about sending their children to study business and engineering, and there were too many Wenkov children, and the competition was too fierce, which also made many students who could not find jobs change careers to study business and engineering. The development of these two subjects has been stimulated even more.

More than a year has passed, the affairs of Qiongzhou Island have been almost arranged, the Song court has also regained a foothold on Qiongzhou Island, the Song army has also regained its vitality, Jiangnan has become a mess, between the Han army, the Han army and the Mongols are fighting each other, it is a good time to win in the chaos.

Whenever Chen Xiang looked up at the dragon qi above his head, he felt that the dragon qi of the last days was weakening day by day, and the dissatisfaction and grievances from the people under his rule were gradually decreasing. And began to gradually turn around, becoming stable and happy, turning into positive energy, burrowing into the purple and gold snake in his life, making it gradually rejuvenate.

Seemingly. This Qiongzhou Island has really been subdued, and finally has a stable rear, so you can let go and take a look.

Therefore, at a suitable court meeting, Chen Xiang put forward the idea of waving his army to the north and rushing back to the mainland.

Hearing that the emperor had such an idea, the ministers reacted very violently.

Some of the ministers had come all the way from the mainland, and they had a bitter national hatred and family feud with the Mongols. They all dreamed of taking the army back to the Central Plains! Slaughter all those wild dogs! They will only be happy if they have to pile up the largest Jingguan with the heads of all the Mongols in the steppe!

It's just that they also knew the horror of the Mongols and the weakness of the Song army, so they made every effort to restore production, accumulate grain and grass, and train soldiers, in order to gather strength as soon as possible. Wave your way back to the north!

But the little emperor actually came up with this idea first, how could it not make them ecstatic!!

The other part is the local officials of Qiongzhou Island, although they are small in number and their status is not particularly high, but they all hold real power. It's a real power-builder.

They used to be pessimistic and disappointed about the future of the Emperor and the Song Dynasty, but they heard that the Mongols' reputation was more terrifying and inclined to the Song Dynasty, who would have thought that this little emperor who was only 8 years old was so mature, and had a flexible hand and strong strength, and pacified Qiongzhou Island in just one year, solved the problem of the Li and Miao people that they had not solved for thousands of years, and was a bold reform, bringing the advanced culture and farming technology of the north into Qiongzhou Island, making the entire Qiongzhou Island look changing with each passing day, and there are new changes every day!

They were pleasantly surprised by the progress! I cherish it very much! They don't want this great situation to be ruined at all! And their fear of the Mongols is greater than their hatred, they are completely pacifists!

Therefore, when Chen Xiang proposed to march north, these subordinates quickly put forward two completely different opinions.

Chen Xiang quietly listened to everyone's discussion, and guided it from time to time, and the whole process of the discussion was in their own hands, and in the end, everyone reached their goals, felt that their opinions were respected, and unanimously decided to train new soldiers on the island, and continue to expand the army, the lowest goal is to occupy the Leizhou Peninsula, leaving a buffer zone for the safety of Qiongzhou Island, and the highest goal is to occupy the area of Lingnan and open up a new territory for Qiongzhou Island, which is already very crowded.

In this way, everyone happily supported this northern expedition. Chen Xiang ordered Wen Tianxiang and Zhang Shijie to set off with him, leaving Lu Xiufu to guard the house and the courtyard, and Su Wanghai to assist him. Leaving 1,000 Janissaries and 5,000 soldiers on Qiongzhou Island, he returned to the mainland with the rest of his army, taking advantage of the good situation and fighting for more land to come back.

However, Lu Xiufu, the prime minister of the left, felt a little uncomfortable, and came to the newly established humble palace to admonish Chen Xiang.

On the one hand, Chen Xiang used a large number of royal assets to operate trade, and on the other hand, on the grounds that the world was undecided and it was not suitable to build a palace, he kept dragging the construction of the palace, which made the civil and military officials of Qiongzhou Island respect him more, and whether they were sincere or not, they were all diligent and thrifty, refused to wear luxurious clothes, lived in luxurious houses, and the whole social atmosphere was very good.

So when Lu Xiufu entered the palace, he still had a very happy sigh in his heart, thinking that the Emperor Song was finally hopeful.

"Your Majesty, now the situation has finally improved, but the subjects have not yet fully realized this, the morale of the people is still very hesitant, and they have not fully recovered from the shadow of the defeat of Yashan, and many of the courtiers are in a panic, not knowing when they will be forced into the sea by the Mongols again. This time the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains was the same, and the soldiers were not very sure of defeating the strong enemy in the north.

This time, if Your Majesty is ready to lead the army to conquer in person, it is better to carry out a sacrifice, and announce the change of the yuan, and issue a letter to crusade against the Mongols, which will definitely boost morale, bridge and inspire all the hearts of everyone in the current Song army, enhance the momentum of the Emperor Song, and gather everyone's spirit! ! Reinvigorate everyone's spirits!! ”

Chen Xiang listened to this suggestion and was noncommittal, but Chen Xiang's nominal mother, Empress Dowager Yang, agreed very much and agreed with Lu Xiufu's proposal. But the time is in a hurry, and there is not so much money, so this time the ceremony of sacrificing Sheji was held three days later, fortunately, the territory controlled by the Song army is not large, and it is indeed very busy and depressed during this period of time, I heard that there is such a celebration, and everyone is very excited to participate.

On the temporarily built high platform, Chen Xiang paid tribute to the heaven and earth and the ancestors of the royal family in accordance with the etiquette, symbolizing that he was the orthodox son of heaven who was ordered by the sky, under the vast clear sky, Chen Xiang standing on the high place looked particularly mysterious and tall, when he recited the sacrificial text, because of the special setting on the high platform, his voice continued to reverberate, and it made people feel that Chen Xiang's voice seemed to come from the sky, so that the subjects who had received a deep brainwash of foolishness and loyalty worshiped this young emperor even more, besides, It is said that there is also the manifestation of Emperor Taizu, which was directly passed on to this little emperor with a strong martial arts! This little emperor is indeed the Lord of Destiny!

In the deliberately created sacred atmosphere, the wonderful and holy court ceremonial music sounded, and according to the instructions of the ceremonial officer, countless subjects were excited, excited by the hope of Emperor Song Zhongxing, and bowed down to Chen Xiang standing on the high platform. Chen Xiang next has to accept the worship of his subjects, when Chen Xiang looks at the subjects below kneeling in a black pressure, countless gray, pale white, and red luck all gather into his own luck, after the swallowing of the golden dragon in the jade seal, it once again becomes his own high-quality luck, and joins his own luck, which also makes his charm recover a lot, and in turn stimulates the loyalty and excitement of his subjects, forming a virtuous circle.

At the same time, Chen Xiang felt countless pious beliefs surrounding him, standing in a place that seemed to be closer to the sky, the air was hollow and circulating, Chen Xiang was very pious by this ancient royal ceremony, and it seemed that he could even hear the prayers of these subjects:

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Son of Heaven! ”

"I hope to be able to drive out the Tartars as soon as possible and set the Central Plains ...... in the north"

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Son of Heaven! ”

"I hope to be able to serve the country and get a half-time official ......"

"I hope to kill a few more Mongolians to avenge my father......"

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Son of Heaven! ”

"Being an emperor is really majestic, I don't know if I can be this emperor......"

After countless prayers appeared in his ears, as the abundant faith poured into Chen Xiang's body, the Bright Flame Venerable's exercises flourished again, forming a golden sun on Chen Xiang's head, shining on all his subjects, making them even more excited!
