Autumn goes to winter, winter passes spring solstice, and in the blink of an eye, a new year has arrived.

During the Spring Festival just past, it was probably the happiest New Year for the vast majority of ordinary people in Guangxi, Huguang, Jiangxi, and Fujian provinces, and their lives have undergone earth-shaking changes in the past year.

The landlords, officials, bandits, and bandits who bullied the common people were beaten and killed by the People's Army, and the People's Army also allocated them land, four acres for adults and two acres for children.

The New Year that has just passed is the richest New Year in their lives, the children wear new clothes and shoes, and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner also increases meat, which is something they have fantasized about before, and now it really happens to them.

It has only been less than a year, and the new year is coming, and those lands are still in their hands, and their good life will continue to rely on these lands alone.

"Please God bless the People's Army."

On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, I don't know how many ordinary people in the areas ruled by the People's Army silently prayed to heaven for the People's Army, they have recognized the People's Army, supported the People's Army, and supported the People's Army, and as long as the People's Army is there, their good life will continue.

The new year is 1590 in the Gregorian calendar, the eighteenth year of Wanli in the Ming calendar, the People's Army does not have its own calendar, and it still uses the Ming calendar.

With the arrival of the new year, the People's Army (KPA) has continued to be busy, and the KPA's ruling area has expanded from one province to five provinces, and the population under its rule has also expanded from nearly 10 million to more than 30 million.

In the past few years, under the rule of the People's Army, Guangdong Province has undergone great changes, with the construction of cement roads, railway tracks, and water conservancy facilities, of which cement roads and water conservancy facilities are the most fundamental changes.

Cement roads are conducive to commercial trade, water conservancy facilities are conducive to agricultural development, and agriculture and commerce are the two fundamental aspects of the country.

With the start of production of cement plants built by Guangdong merchants in the other four provinces, the People's Army's plans to build cement roads and water conservancy facilities in the newly occupied areas will also be greatly advanced.

As for the railroad road, the B-type steam engine has not been studied, and the train has no shadow, and the role of the rail road is less than that of the cement road due to the limited number of horses.

However, Fang Nan knew that even if there was no train, the connection between various places could be greatly accelerated through the railway tracks, one of which was conducive to the rule of the People's Army over the various places under his rule.

The construction of concrete roads and water conservancy facilities is the only large-scale project that the KPA can carry out at present, without the B-type steam engine, the pace of industrial development is slow, and education and medical care are limited by the literacy and are in the stage of development.

The officials of the People's Army Government know that they are busy quite easily now, and it will be easier to be busy for a while this year, and when the next war comes, the People's Army will occupy the entire land of China, and that will be the busiest at that time.

The new year is coming, Fang Nan also has a small trouble here, in order to be able to make the People's Army and the Ming Court truce, Fang Nan accepted Cheng Xinyuan's proposal, accept the Ming Court's harmony, the New Year has passed, the eldest princess of Qixia Zhu Yaojiang has set off from the capital, embarked on the road to Guangzhou City, March 19 will enter the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion on time.

At least on the surface.

A few years ago, Hu Xiaoya asked Fang Nan what preparations the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion should make for Zhu Yaojiang to marry into the Fang family.

Fang Nan directly said that the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion does not need to make any preparations, and the People's Army does not need to make any preparations, Zhu Yaojiang will come when he comes, and give her a room in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, as if she is a guest staying in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

Zhu Yaojiang is the eldest princess of Daming Qixia, the sister of the current emperor of Daming, and the woman of the Zhu family.

However, Fang Nan didn't have much feeling, Fang Nan was not sentimental, and he didn't have the idea of accommodating all kinds of beauties to form a big harem, Hu Xiaoya was a childhood sweetheart, and the big Qiao and Xiao Qiao sisters also had some feelings after long-term contact.

Fang Nan was unwilling to accept a woman without feelings as his wife.

The Ming court sent Zhu Yaojiang over, and there was no need for any process of worshipping the church to get married, and directly let Zhu Yaojiang live in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, in Fang Nan's opinion, he did not marry Zhu Yaojiang, and this was the end.

Of course, regardless of whether there is a process of marriage in the hall or not, Fang Nan also knows that the outside world will think that the metropolitan governor has married Zhu Yaojiang, and the big deal is equivalent to beating Zhu Yaojiang into the "cold palace".

Hu Xiaoya understood what her husband meant, and the Metropolitan Governor only made small changes, cleaning up a room in a relatively remote corner of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and leaving it for Zhu Yaojiang to live in.

Treated by the standard of a normal guest, at least with the status of a princess, it is impossible to throw a firewood room for her to live in.

The Military Intelligence Department has collected information on Zhu Yaojiang, and Fang Nan doesn't have much feeling for Zhu Yaojiang, but as a woman, Hu Xiaoya has a little sympathy for Zhu Yaojiang's experience.

Zhu Yaojiang's father died not long after he was born, and his mother also died when he was young, and he lived for more than ten years in the absence of family affection, and he was already the age of marriage.

I don't know how many people envy the princess's fine clothes and food, but I can't imagine that sometimes the princess is more pitiful than ordinary women.

Hu Xiaoya knew that her husband would not torture an innocent woman, but Zhu Yaojiang definitely didn't know, maybe Zhu Yaojiang was already fantasizing about how dark her future life would be, comparable to hell, and she couldn't survive or die.

Zhu Yaojiang is pitiful, and Hu Xiaoya is also slightly sympathetic, but Hu Xiaoya will not do too much to Zhu Yaojiang, just like her husband said, it would be good to treat Zhu Yaojiang as a guest living in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, maybe it is a good choice to live alone, at least to live quietly.

It's just that Zhu Yaojiang, as a woman of the Zhu family, may not be able to face the fall of the Ming Dynasty in a few years.

In addition, Hu Xiaoya is also worried about some things, after all, Zhu Yaojiang lives in the Dadu Governor's Mansion, and there will always be a time to meet her husband, maybe she will fall in love for a long time, and then she will have another sister.

As for whether Zhu Yaojiang, who lives in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, will do something bad, Hu Xiaoya is not worried, none of the four members of the Fang family can be described as mortals, but it is impossible for outsiders to understand this matter, at most, the maids, servants, and guards of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion know a little, and they can't say it outside.
