Chongzhen twenty-one years, December 15

Fang Yuan's coronation ceremony was held as scheduled at the Nanjing Imperial Palace. After four months of preparatory work, Fang Yuan requisitioned 10,000 migrant laborers and spent 1 million taels to renovate the Nanjing Imperial Palace.

Nanjing City is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, before Jiajing, the Ming Dynasty's finances were more forgiving, and the palace of Nanjing City was repaired from time to time, so as not to be too old. However, after Jiajing, the Ming Dynasty's finances began to run a deficit to maintain the operation of the government, and there were problems with the military spending of the nine sides, so there was no money to repair the Nanjing Imperial Palace.

After seventy or eighty years of idleness, most of the palaces of the Nanjing Imperial Palace have long been abandoned.

In order to maintain the legitimacy of the Ming Dynasty, Fang Yuan decided to set up the palace of the prince of Jianguo in the Nanjing Imperial Palace. And Fang Yuan's regent palace is still temporarily in the Suzhou Governor's Mansion, waiting for the unification of the world, depending on the success or failure, and then decide the final location of the regent's palace.

This coronation ceremony is the most important event in the south of the Yangtze River in the past two hundred years, in addition to repairing the palace of one million taels of silver, Fang Yuan also took out 500,000 taels of silver, in the former five military governor's mansion, the office area of the six departments, clearly held a 'thousand sages banquet', a 'Tongle banquet'.

The so-called Thousand Sages Banquet is to invite all the famous people in the entire jurisdiction of the four provinces, whether it is officials, squires, wealthy merchants, or literati, as long as they are willing to come, they can come to participate. These people are the mainstay of Jiangnan, so it is named Qianxian Banquet.

The so-called Tongle Banquet is to invite ordinary people to come to the imperial city to dine. The banquet was held in the form of a flowing water banquet, and everyone who wanted to participate in it was not refused.

In order to ensure the smooth start of this coronation ceremony, Fang Yuan mobilized a total of 4,000 brocade guards from Nanzhili to go to Nanjing City. Among them, 2,000 men guarded the dozen or so gates of Nanjing, as well as the main streets of the city. Two thousand men were stationed in the Imperial City and were responsible for the security of the Imperial City.

In order to prevent trouble, Fang Yuan also ordered Jing Jie to mobilize 20,000 Xuanjia soldiers to be stationed on the main waterways leading to Nanjing City in various places to deal with unforeseen situations at any time.

On the day of the coronation ceremony, the whole imperial city is full of lights, jubilant, the right side of the Jinshui Bridge Square is erected nine big drums, and the left side is erected nine horns, nine hundred and eighty-one, indicating that the Jiangnan court is bound to last for a long time.

Fang Yuan, who lived in the warm pavilion of Fengtian Palace, had climbed the city wall of Chengtianmen at this time, overlooking the entire Nanjing Imperial Palace, and was full of emotion.

Seven years ago, when he first crossed over, he was still a penniless gangster in the capital, but now he is the regent of the world, controlling the territory of one capital and four provinces, and it is also the richest territory in the whole Ming Dynasty.

When he first came to Jiangnan, the whole Jiangnan was still a plate of scattered sand. There are Donglin Party members who hold power, and officials, squires, and wealthy businessmen collude to prey on the common people. There are Zuo Liangyu outside, Zheng Zhilong is eyeing the tiger, Nanzhili and Zhejiang, who are rich in the world, but the financial resources of the rich world have not been transformed into sharp minions, and they have to worry about the harassment of rogues and warlords from time to time.

He has been operating in Jiangnan for five or six years, and the Donglin Party tree is falling and scattered, and it can no longer become a climate; The corrupt officials and corrupt officials of the common people, under his heavy blows, at least dare not be as blatant as before; The squires and wealthy merchants who are rampant in the countryside are also more honest and responsible. Although all kinds of incidents of oppression of the people are not completely extinct, they have definitely been subdued a lot.

The atmosphere of the entire Jiangnan can be said to be clear. Even Gu Yanwu, who likes to provoke, Fang Yuan in his tabloids, it is difficult to see the criticism of Fang Yuan and Xuanjiajun again, but instead turns to criticize the corrupt officials who are still making small troubles to make money behind their backs, flashy literati, and those profiteers who hoard Juqi.

In terms of external worries, Zheng Zhilong, Zuo Liangyu, Jiangbei warlords, and Western countries, these are either external worries that threaten the security of Jiangnan, or invade the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and now they have also been pulled out by Fang Yuan one by one.

Being able to open the chaos at the end of the Ming Dynasty in such a short period of time made a corner of Jiangnan from disorder to order, and the attached Taobao system was indispensable. In recent years, the main shopping on the Taobao system is to purchase hybrid rice seeds, nitric acid needed to make bullets, and explosion-proof equipment. These three expenses were very huge, and they had already cost Fang Yuan fifteen million taels and two million taels of gold.

Today's Fang Yuan is a VIP4 user, and can enjoy the half-price shopping activity of 'Double 11 every day'. As a result, the rate of consumption of silver is much slower than before. But it is still far from using 100 million taels of silver to become a VIP5 user and be able to buy customized products.

After generating VIP5 users, Fang Yuan may introduce a large number of modern industrial equipment, as well as the oil and gasoline needed, to truly build an industrialized Ming Empire.

Just as Fang Yuan's thoughts were like a tide, a gentle voice sounded behind him, "Lord Regent, the ceremony is about to start in half an hour, it's time to change clothes, what are you stunned?!" ”

Only then did Fang Yuan come back to his senses and turn his head to look at his wife, Princess Kunxing.

Princess Kunxing, who is full of joy, has already worn a phoenix crown and a xia veil, and her mother's temperament in the world is prohibitive. Now the princess is four months pregnant, and her belly is beginning to show a little shape. At this coronation ceremony, Fang Yuan still invited her to greet the admiration of all the people with him.

Where in this world is there a saying that the regent is a concubine, Fang Yuan smiled, his smile was plain and warm, "Okay, Princess Regent, you can dress me!" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the princess gently put on the regent dress embroidered with nine pythons for him. This set of regent clothes was made by the princess herself and the palace ladies for three whole months, day and night.

The whole set of regent clothes includes different parts such as the crown of the sky, the silk gauze robe, the white sand soap collar, the silk yarn covering the knees, the white false belt, the square heart curved collar, the white socks and red shoes.

The fabric is the most expensive Nanjing Yunjin; Nine pythons are all made of pure gold gold thread, and each python is woven by four famous embroidery methods such as Shu embroidery, Hunan embroidery, Suzhou embroidery, and Guangdong embroidery; The leather belt and ribbon are compared to the standard of the prince; The jade pendant is the treasure jade offered from all over the world.

Fang Yuan was neatly dressed, looking at the floor-to-ceiling mirror that he had purchased from Taobao. The man in the mirror no longer has the youthfulness he had when he first crossed over six years ago, and has been replaced by a calm and dignified majesty. Wearing this extravagant regent costume again, there is a kind of elegance that reigns over the world.

Fang Yuan looked at him silently for a while, then turned his head to look at the princess who was a natural pair with him, both in terms of clothing and bearing, and said with a smile, "Princess, let's go!" We welcome the pilgrimage of all the peoples together! ”

The princess looked at the man in front of her, and the prince charming in her dream was nothing more than that! If you marry like this, you will have a day, and you will not waste your life, not to mention that the two can stay together for a long time after that.

Heaven has favored her so much!

The princess's face was rippling with happiness, and she pursed her lips and smiled, "Good! If you are a thief, I am a thief; If you are king, I am queen. We will never be separated! ”

Fang Yuan and the princess put their hands together, walked out of the Chengtian Hall in unison. Outside the Chengtian Palace, there are already hundreds of officials, and thousands of people are solemn.

The sound of loud drums and heavy trumpets sounded together, and the sound shook the sky.

The most glorious day of Fang Yuan's life has finally arrived!
