When the ship docked at the Dongbianmen Caoyun Wharf, it was already the early morning of August 3, and it took a total of 13 days to sail.

The team on the wharf was very lively, the teaching workshop played Shao music, and the color shed was crowded with civil and military officials of the Military and Political Yuan and the Civil Affairs Yuan, all the officials above the third grade in Beijing, under the leadership of Bailisha, all came to the wharf, as soon as they saw Gao Junshan, they all bowed down with brushes, and said loudly: "The ministers welcome the emperor!" Long live our emperor! Banzai! Hooray! ”

Gao Junshan, dressed in a dragon robe, stood on the top deck, looking down on the civil and military forces kneeling on the dock with a smile on his face, waving his hand to greet them, and after some appearance, he got off the ship to accept the worship of hundreds of officials.

The Imperial Forest Army had taken complete control of the dock and did not allow anyone to move around casually, and after Gao Junshan accepted the pilgrimage in front of the hundred officials, he made an impassioned speech, and then went to Luan Yu under the protection of the Royal Forest Army and returned to the palace.

As soon as I arrived at the Qianqing Palace, it was a lively place, which felt like home. First of all, Qibao and Eighth Sister, the two youngest babies, who are three years old in a month, saw their father from a distance and walked like a duck to the high mountain, one hugging the left leg and the other hugging the right leg.

The little princess was the most naughty, pulling the dragon robe and about to climb Gao Junshan's body, Gao Junshan picked her up with one hand and spun in the air, making the little princess laugh more than once.

Qibao just hugged Gao Junshan's legs tightly, for fear that his father would run away, and he couldn't stop laughing when he saw the little princess spinning in circles.

Han Yuyan waited for the size of the harem, just stood aside and laughed, and after the father and son (daughter) were enough, Han Yuyan asked the maid to hug the two little ones away, and asked long and short questions beside Gao Junshan, until the meal was served, everyone gathered at the table, Liu Fangliang also came over to rub the rice at this time, of course, the purpose was not only to rub the rice.

At the dinner table, Gao Junshan asked Liu Fangliang about what had happened in the capital in the past few months, and Liu Fangliang reported: "There has been no major event in the past few months, but there is a small matter." I have a subordinate named Wu Da who is the imperial history of Zhejiang Province, and he impeached Feng Quan, a waiter in the Ministry of Rites. ”

Although Zhejiang is still in the hands of the Southern Ming Dynasty, because after Gao Junshan entered Beijing, he directly took over the six departments of the Ming Dynasty, so it is not surprising that there is such an official position as the Imperial History of Zhejiang Dao, Gao Junshan considered that these places would eventually belong to the Huaxia Kingdom, so he did not revoke these official positions.

Feng Quan, the word Zhenlu, also the word Boheng, the number Luan, Zhuozhou people. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the official went to the Forbidden Yuan for review, and at the time of the Apocalypse, he took refuge in the eunuch Wei Zhongxian and became the leading figure among his henchmen. In the early years of Chongzhen, he served Wei Zhongxian and ransomed for the people. After Gao Junshan entered Beijing, Gao Hongtu and Jiang Yueguang jointly wrote a letter recommending Feng Quan, and Gao Junshan hired him to pay homage to the right attendant of the Ministry of Worship.

Gao Junshan put down his chopsticks and asked, "Because of impeachment?" ”

Liu Fangliang said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, it's just that a group of Wenchen is too idle and has nothing to do." ”

Gao Junshan said: "You might as well talk about it." ”

Liu Fangliang wrote lightly: "They say that the emperor should not reuse this Feng Quan." Cough! It's idle, and they want to care about who the emperor uses and who doesn't use it. ”

Gao Junshan asked, "Did you accept it?" ”

"No, how can I be as idle as them, it was accepted by Shoufu Bailisha."

Gao Junshan also wanted to ask for details, and the soldiers came to report, and Cai Zhishan asked to see him.

Cai Zhishan must have had an emergency military situation at this time, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and summoned Cai Zhishan alone in the Chuanxin Palace.

Cai Zhishan wanted to salute, but Gao Junshan stopped him: "Bolan, you don't have to be constrained by etiquette at home, please sit down!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Coming to me so late, there must be something important." Gao Junshan said as he gave up his seat.

Cai Zhishan sat down with a sad face and said: "He Renlong from Shaanxi sent a report from Tang, this year's grain shortage is serious, and the harvest of crops is not as good as a year, and he requests an urgent allocation of grain and grass for winter. ”

Gao Junshan asked, "How did you reply to General He?" ”

Cai Zhishan replied: "There is no reply yet." ”

Gao Junshan said: "We must immediately reply to General He, tell him that he is now transferring grain from Huguang, and ask him to live a good life to appease the people during this time." ”

Cai Zhishan was puzzled: "Your Majesty, the transfer order has not been issued, how can you give General He an answer first?" ”

Gao Junshan said: "You don't have to ask too much about this matter, you go to handle the appointment immediately." ”

"But it's better to come up with a plan." Cai Zhishan really didn't understand, why didn't he make a detailed plan first, how much grain to allocate, where to allocate it, who was responsible for escorting it, and what route to take, but the emperor had to reply to He Renlong first, what if the allocation was not complete?

Gao Junshan didn't explain too much to Cai Zhishan, he stood up and said, "You immediately do what I want, reply to General He first, and then go through all the procedures for transferring grain." By the way, you first transfer some food from the capital to General He for emergency, and then make up for the required procedures. ”

Cai Zhishan also stood up, he knew that this was the emperor to send off guests, and he saluted Gao Junshan: "Obey the order!" Shibayama retired. ”

After Cai Zhishan left, Gao Junshan was no longer in the mood to go back to the Qianqing Palace for dinner, he was very worried, and he was finally going to face the problem of food shortage.

The reason why he asked Cai Zhishan to reply to He Renlong in a timely manner was because he knew that He Renlong had defected from the Ming Court to the side of Gaojun Mountain because of food, and he was worried that He Renlong's problem of borrowing food would cause him trouble, after all, He Renlong had a heavy army.

Grain can be exchanged for vegetables. Gao Junshan called the old housekeeper Zhang Cong, and he wanted to hand over this task to Zhang Cong. Just before he went to Wuchang, he made a green paper out of vegetables and used amaranth juice as raw materials to write a letter to the headquarters, the content of which was very simple, just one line: a world navigation chart and a map of the island country are urgently needed.

Because he was in a hurry to go to Wuchang, he went to Wuchang without waiting for a reply from the headquarters. Now I called Zhang Cong over, and I also wanted to ask him if he had received a reply from the headquarters.

Zhang Cong came soon after receiving the summons, in fact, he had been waiting in the courtyard outside the Heart Transmission Hall for a long time, because he received two things to report to Gao Junshan, because Gao Junshan was summoning Cai Zhishan, he was inconvenient to come in and disturb, so he had been waiting in the courtyard.

"Your Majesty, are these two things you want me to pay attention to?" Zhang Cong asked as soon as he came in.

Gao Junshan saw the two drawings in Zhang Cong's hand, and said happily: "Quickly show them to me!" ”

Zhang Cong carefully handed the drawings to Gao Junshan.

Gao Junshan put the drawing on the desk and opened it, and by the light of the oil lamp, he saw what he wanted. In front of him were world charts and maps of island nations. All of them are made from rice, and they are made in two colors: white and black.

"That's it," Gao Junshan said excitedly, "is there anything else?" He wondered if there were any other textual messages from headquarters

"No, that's all."

"Excellent! Remember, you can't say anything about it. ”

"Understood!"

Gao Junshan asked, "Can that thing still work?" ”

"It's okay for now." Zhang Cong understood what "that thing" meant.

Gao Junshan said: "We need a lot of grain now, and during this time, you will be full-time to do the rice business, and don't worry about other things." ”

"Yes!"

"Go and rest!" Gao Junshan waved his hand, and Zhang Cong withdrew from the Heart Transmission Palace.

After Zhang Cong left, Gao Junshan closed the door of the room, and looked at the navigation chart seriously under the oil lamp, this is a world navigation chart, the drawing is not big, only one meter by one meter five size, he looked at it carefully, and then looked at the second one, this map is smaller in size, it is a topographic map of the island country of one to one million, after reading it, he carefully collected the two maps, and prepared to take them to the Institute of Engineering tomorrow, and asked his Chongwen disciples to draw a few copies for backup.
