The two used this topic to completely resolve the embarrassment, exchanged a few more words, and got down to business.

"Your Majesty, according to the will, there are now six Daming Water Divisions, three Thousand Households, 110,000 soldiers of the Land Division, 50,000 barbarian soldiers, and nearly 200,000 troops stationed in the three prefectures of Lianzhou, Leizhou, and Qiongzhou, with General Hou He of Palembang as the commander. ……。 Now all the soldiers are ready to go on the expedition, and they can conquer Annam for the Ming Dynasty at any time, just waiting for His Majesty's order. Li Jiqian said.

"Are these armies really ready for war with Annan?" Yun Xi asked rhetorically.

"That's true. The last soldier from Huguang had already arrived at the Yong'an Station in Lianzhou ten days ago, and all the soldiers had rested for many days, completely prepared, and even if they didn't move any longer, they would have fat. What's more, the army led by Zhang Houye, Mu Houye and others has been fighting with Annan for many days, and the soldiers all said, how can I watch the bloody battle between Tongze and the Annan people, but I stand by and watch? They all asked for war. It was He Shuai who said that His Majesty should send the left army to fight with Annam even for the sake of the army. Li Jiqian said.

Yun Xi smiled. If you want to say that middle and high-ranking generals want to go to war with Annan for the sake of their military exploits, how can low-level generals and ordinary soldiers ask for war except for a very small number of people? Will you go to the battlefield and die sooner? Although most soldiers will not disobey orders to go to war, it is better not to fight.

But of course Yunxi won't pierce it. He smiled and said, "Since the military heart is available, of course I will not chill the military heart. Then he instructed Huang Lu, who was standing aside, to call Hu Yan, a member of the Zhongshu House who was guarding outside; Hu Yan quickly walked in, and Yun Xi said to him: "You immediately draw up two orders: First, order the sailors stationed in Lianzhou, Leizhou, and Qiongzhou to stay in Sancheng, and all the rest will be dispatched to cruise outside the coastline of hundreds of miles of Annan, and no Annan ships of more than 50 materials will be allowed to go to sea, even if they are fishing boats. ”

"Second, the Lu divisions stationed in the three prefectures will assemble in Hepu, Haikang, and Haikou within three days from the date of arrival, and the chief officers who cannot arrive on time will be demoted to the third rank."

Yun Xi originally wanted to not allow any ships from Annan to go to sea, but thinking of the problem of connecting the people on the side of the Ming Dynasty who were lurking in the territory of Annan or were bribed by the Ming Dynasty, he instead did not allow ships with more than 50 materials to go to sea; As for the requirement that they must arrive at the assembly point within three days, of course, these troops must be dispatched.

After listening to Yun Xi's words, Hu Yan immediately took the pen and ink from Huang Lu's hand and wrote; Soon, he prepared the two holy decrees, which were stamped with a big seal and sent to the post station after the emperor nodded.

After instructing this, Yun Xi was about to say something more, but looked up at the window and saw that it was already dark, and said to Huang Lu: "You go and order the food." ”

Hearing this, Hu Yan and the others immediately said, "The minister retired." ”

Yunxi nodded and asked Hu Yan and the others to retreat, but left Li Jiqian; However, they were not surprised, and bowed before withdrawing.

After they all left the house, Yun Xi smiled at Li Jiqian and said, "Li Aiqing, it just so happened that Concubine Yun followed me to Qiongzhou Mansion, and your brothers and sisters haven't seen each other for half a year, so I left you to eat in the palace today." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Jiqian immediately bowed down and agreed.

Yun Xi frowned. According to the rules, even the elder brother of the imperial concubine has to push it once or twice before accepting it; However, he was quickly relieved, Li Jiqian was only incorporated into the official army more than three years ago, and he was discriminated against at the beginning, it is estimated that he will be blamed for anything wrong in the guard, and he must not be thought of if there is anything good, until he entered the palace two years ago, he will be better, and he has officially begun to learn the rules, so it is normal for him to behave like this now, and he understands the rules very well.

Then Yunxi took Li Jiqian to the backyard and let them meet their brother and sister. Their brother and sister hadn't seen each other for half a year, so naturally they missed each other very much, sitting in one place and talking; However, Li Sha'er probably didn't want to snub Yun Xi during dinner, so she didn't say too much to Li Jiqian, just chatting normally.

After eating, Li Jiqian retired, and at this time, Yun Xi saw the reluctant thoughts in Li Sha'er's eyes, so he said to her after he stepped back: "Sha'er, when I go to deal with political affairs tomorrow morning, I will call him to the palace and let your brothers and sisters talk enough, and you will always remember him in your heart." Look at the reluctance in your eyes, I'm going to be jealous. Yoon-hee made a joke at the end.

Li Sha'er also said a joke, which was regarded as a response to Yun Xi, and then saluted very formally: "Concubine Xie Fujun's reward." "According to the rules, it is already a grace for Yun Xi to let their brothers and sisters meet tonight, and tomorrow morning he actually let them sit in one place again to talk, that is, the emperor's grace, of course Li Sha'er has to be grateful.

If Xi Yao said so, of course Yun Xi immediately stepped forward and hugged her and said, "You and I are husband and wife, what do you say." ”

But Li Sha'er was not his wife, so although he still stepped forward and put his arm around her waist, he said, "This is nothing compared to what you have done for me; Besides, since your name is my husband, my husband naturally has to think about you. ”

"Husband is so good." Li Sha'er said half coquettishly, half gratefully.

"Since your husband is so kind to you, do you want to thank your husband?" Yun Xi suddenly laughed.

Of course, Li Sha'er understood what he meant, and said in a coquettish voice: "How does the husband want the concubine to be grateful, how can the concubine be grateful?" ”

Yoon-hee laughed, then picked her up and walked to the inner room.

……

……

Early the next morning, Yun Xi got up refreshed, laughed at Li Sha'er a few more words, and left the backyard of the palace.

When he came to the study outside the front yard, Li Shuli was already waiting inside, and when he saw Yun Xi coming, he immediately bowed and saluted.

Yoon-hee waved him to sit down, and then began to talk to him.

He first listened to Li Shuli talk about some of the things he has done in the past three years in charge of Qiongzhou. Although these Yunxi had already learned about it through Jinyiwei, he still listened patiently.

When he finished speaking, Yun Xi listened to the news that was similar to the one he got from Jinyiwei, praised a few words seriously, and then began to ask about other local situations in Qiongzhou.

Qiongzhou, also known as modern Hainan, is a good place. Qiongzhou is located in the southernmost part of China, the whole territory is located in the tropics, there is no snow all year round, even if the country is generally heavy snowfall, Guangzhou is almost buried by snow in the year, Qiongzhou people can still only watch the snow through TV, laughing at the country.

Because the water, light, heat and other conditions here are very superior, many crops can be two or even three crops a year, so it is very suitable for the development of agriculture, and the per capita agricultural output value of later generations ranks in the forefront of the country.

In addition, Qiongzhou also has abundant medicinal resources, there are 2,000 kinds of crops that can be used in medicine, the most famous are the four major southern medicines: betel nut, nootropic, sand kernel, Morinda officinalis, deer antler, pangolin, tortoiseshell, seahorse turtle plate and other precious medicinal materials have also been produced.

In addition, as an island, Qiongzhou is surrounded by the sea on all sides, and the fishery is also very developed, and the marine fishing ground area is vast, which is more than ten times the area of the island. Also because of the surrounding sea, there are also many natural salt farms, and salt can be dried almost everywhere.

Not to mention the abundant resources of Hainan Island. The iron ore reserves of Shilu Iron Mine in Hainan account for about 70% of the country's rich iron ore reserves, ranking first in the country. Perovskite reserves account for 70% of the country; Zircon reserves account for 60% of the country.
