The summer is gone, and it is already the New Year in a blink of an eye, and new charms are posted everywhere in the land of the Hua Dynasty, and all kinds of fireworks and firecrackles non-stop.

At the beginning of the lanterns, the streets of Jinling were crowded with people, rubbing shoulders.

Performances attract onlookers, and Jinling is like a city of lanterns, illuminating the most prosperous streets in the world today.

Hou Xuanyan, who returned to the palace, relieved his fatigue and lay down in the steaming bath, where there was smokeless charcoal in the walls of the room, and the warm surroundings of the bathing pool were like spring.

With his hands on the wall of the jade pool, his head resting on the elixir's thighs, Hou Xuanyan breathed a long sigh of relief and asked, "I have been away from Beijing for half a year, what are the major events in the country recently?" ”

The elixir raised an arm, rubbed it a little affectionately, and said: "The left and right are just the drought in Shaanxi, and some counties in Huguang were flooded during the autumn flood, and the others are fine." ”

"Disaster relief has been arranged, right?"

"Both places have written to say that they don't need the imperial court to help, and they themselves are enough to save themselves."

Hou Xuanyan snorted and said: "Now that all parts of the country are relatively wealthy, and the wealth is very rich, I have long said that if you have money in your hands, you can't rot in your hands, and you can usually repair and strengthen the river, dig reservoirs to store water, and avoid disasters when the weather is bad." ”

The elixir covered his mouth and giggled: "Anyone can be as generous as Your Majesty, and if you have money, you can't wait to throw it out." ”

"Yuan Jixian of Huguang, who was thrown into my account during the Jingxiang War, has always been the most supportive of the imperial court's decrees for so many years, and this time the flood situation in Huguang is mostly due to too much rainstorm. It's a place in Shaanxi, with nine droughts in ten years, and the sky is not beautiful. ”

Hou Xuanyan has the impression that since the end of the Ming Dynasty, there has been no good season in Shaanxi, and every day there is either a drought or a locust plague, which is why the thieves who overthrew the Ming Dynasty all started from Shaanxi.

Fortunately, now that there is Jingbei Province, a large number of people in Shaanxi and Gansu have moved north, and Jingbei is enough to accommodate these people's migration, and there are more opportunities there, and it is better to make a living.

"If it weren't for Jingbei, I really don't know how to deal with this disaster-ridden land. In the final analysis, the transportation is convenient, as long as the traffic is good, wherever there is a disaster, it can be alleviated in time. At the beginning of the conquest of the Northwest Junggaria, I ordered the construction of various roads in the Northwest, and the counties and counties were looking for factory construction teams alone for construction, I don't know what happened now? ”

After the end of the war, the local people also felt the benefits of building roads, so many yamen did not relax the construction of this area.

I didn't know much about the elixir, and when I heard Hou Xuanyan ask, I couldn't say anything.

Hou Xuanyan turned his head and said dissatisfiedly: "These projects are the foundation of the country, and after a hundred years, we will leave the most valuable property to future generations." Other things can be delayed, and these things must be done with heart, and the merit is in the present and the benefit is in the future. ”

The snow cheeks of the elixir were steamed by the heat, and the powder was very cute, at this time, after receiving the lesson of Hou Xuanyan, he lowered his head and looked pitiful with tears in his eyes, and the only remaining bit of anger had long since disappeared.

She has no memory of the afterlife, how to understand the truth tested by these times, she is a little too harsh on the people around her.

Thinking of this, Hou Xuanyan reached out and dragged her into the water, and the elixir blushed in fright, and her small mouth opened into an O-shape.

Wearing an already thin gauze robe, it was instantly attached to the body, and the graceful posture was revealed.

"What, wronged?"

"Slaves don't dare."

said that he didn't dare, and the grievances on his face were about to cry, Hou Xuanyan smiled dumbly, and said seriously: "You are young, in the future, after a hundred years, you will have to help the prince do many things." The current Hua Dynasty is so strong, I built it single-handedly, and I don't want it to die like a strong Qin. In the future, the world will be changing, and I don't know how many different states will take advantage of the situation to rise, and the supremacy of the Chinese Dynasty will inevitably be challenged at that time.

I am not an immortal, I can't leave a stable river and mountain for 10,000 years, but I don't want my governance concept to be overthrown. ”

The elixir writhed uneasily, his heart suddenly cramped, and he lowered his head and whispered: "If Your Majesty collapses, Yao'er won't live." ”

Hou Xuanyan was very uncomfortable when he heard this, although he was strong now, he didn't want his woman to have this kind of thought.

"Look up."

The elixir instinctively raised his head obediently, two lines of tears on his delicate face, and a determined look in his eyes.

Hou Xuanyan was even more angry, originally said casually, who knew that this little girl still had such extreme ideas.

"I can't control you, you don't listen to a word of what I say, do you?"

The elixir knew his temper, and he didn't dare to continue to be willful at this time, so he burst into laughter: "How dare people listen to Your Majesty's words, Yao'er will listen to Your Majesty for everything." ”

Hou Xuan's angry teeth itched, but there was nothing she could do, this little girl was not afraid of beating, and the more she played, the more excited she became. I'm not afraid of scolding, I dare to say anything that comes up, it's really not easy to treat her by myself.

In desperation, Hou Xuanyan could only beat her hard, beat her ass red, and gave her a little lesson.

----

At the beginning of the new year, Hou Xuanyan issued an edict in the newspaper, announcing that the era name would be changed to Tianxi.

In these four years, the Chinese Dynasty conquered Dzungaria and Rakshasa in the north, and obtained the entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Mongolia and Siberia. The southern part of the barbarians was wiped out, and the eastern seas were all under control, and Siam, Burma, Annam, Taiwan, Manchuria, Luzon, Java, India, Sri Lanka, and part of Egypt became their own territory.

The Hua Dynasty became the giant in the Far East, and also became the biggest barrier on the navigation route of the European continents, the Spaniards now did not dare to enter this sea directly, the Portuguese fled, and the Dutch begged bitterly to give way again and again; England, who has not yet risen, is begging to get up to the top and begging to hug his thighs.

In terms of land, Hou Xuanyan was complacent and changed his name to Tianxi. "Yun Li 100 work, Shu Ji Xianxi", Xi has the meaning of prosperity and prosperity, which is echoing today's Chinese Dynasty.

The stall is too big, it is not easy to clean up, and now the expansion speed of the Hua Dynasty is a little too fast, and if it continues, it will do all kinds of harm and no benefit.

As a result, the domestic people's call for expansion is not high, and up to now, there are large areas of land that no one has gone to, many places in the South Seas are empty islands, and even the resting places of merchants are uninhabited.

Second, the strength of the Chinese Dynasty is not enough to declare war with all the powers in the world, and the battle line is too long, Rao is as strong as the Chinese army, and there is also a risk of encountering Waterloo.

Hou Xuanyan decided to make every effort to govern the land he had already laid down during the Tianxi period and stabilize this hard-won country.
