Yao Yun's adoption of a daughter stimulated Yuan Qi, who had hoped to have a child twenty years ago, but twenty years of singleness had long made her lose her expectation of having children, and now seeing Yao Yun adopt a daughter, she also moved the idea of adopting a child; The difference is that she wants to adopt a son, and Fu Ning only agrees with her to adopt an orphan, but she really can't find a suitable orphan for a while; There are some orphans left by frequent accidents and wrecked workers in the Jilong Coal Mine, but the Shandong miners in the group do not lack economic foundation and are unwilling to give up those orphans, unless Fu Ning reveals his identity; But Fu Ning didn't like to oppress people with power, so Yuan Qi's matter was temporarily delayed.

Yuan Qi seems to be rejuvenated, after more than a year of getting along, he knows that Fu Ning likes the pair of fat and snow-white on her chest the most, and now he has the idea of having children, so he always makes Fu Ning want to die and drain his essence. But Fu Ning didn't have much hope for this, Yuan Qi was already forty-three years old, and the possibility of pregnancy was very small, plus her experience when she was young, so the possibility of pregnancy was almost none; But now Yuan Qi's stubbornness and expectations often frighten Fu Ning not to go to the Yuan Mansion to rest, but Yao Yun, who takes care of her daughter, drives Fu Ning to the Yuan Mansion every day, making Fu Ning cry and laugh.

Fu Ning and Yuan Qi are the most bizarre scenery in Chicken Coop City. Fu Ning likes short hair, flat head, short shirts and shorts, and wears a pair of leather slippers, while Yuan Qi likes plain face and plain skirts, with a snow-white crisp chest exposed on his chest, and the two often become a strange scene in the eyes of everyone; But Yuan Qi's bewitching and familiar beauty attracted a lot of attention, and some women imitated Yuan Qi's dress, and even showed a piece of crisp breasts, so they were beaten by their own husbands and cried. There were even men on the street who ignored Yuan Qi's large group of guards and teased Yuan Qi who went to Hongxiang Textile Factory to inspect! So he was directly shot by Yuan Qi's guards and broke his leg; After investigation by the Intelligence Department, Fu Ning learned that the man with the broken leg was a businessman from Yangzhou, and he was actually a person from the Third Prince. So many people muttered in Fu Ning's ear and persuaded Fu Ning to manage Yuan Qi's behavior, and Fu Ning laughed.

In the twenty-first year of Qianping, there was nothing on the ground in the British court this year that made Fu Ning feel worthy of attention, if there was anything, it was a news from Huaiyangtang: a person named Jiahua Jiayu Village became Lin Daiyu's "tutor", and Fu Ning knew that Jiahua was Jiayu Village; At the same time, the news also said that Lin Daiyu had burned books to play while writing, accidentally set fire to a side room, and when Lin Ruhai was beaten angrily, she also screamed indiscriminately from her sisters and sisters; Fu Ning, who received the news, felt "very sweaty on his head",-!! , is this the "cautious" Lin Daiyu in the Red Mansion???

The ban on the sea by the British court led to the slow growth of the population of Liuqiu, and the steady development of Liuqiu in the 21 years of Qianping showed more and more that the population was in short supply, and the "smugglers" who fought petty and made small troubles could not alleviate the population demand at all; As for the navy's proposal to start a war against the British dynasty in order to plunder the population, Fu Ning put it on the shelf. The 30,000,000 population of the British Dynasty will inevitably vigorously expand the naval army if it is stimulated by the war of Liuqiu, which is not a good thing for Liuqiu, so it will never be able to stimulate the imperial court in the near future; Letting the imperial court slowly decay is the best strategy, so as to widen the gap between the two sides of the strait and facilitate the accumulation of strength.

Population became an urgent need for Liuqiu, and the House of Representatives, in response to Fu Ning's clear opposition to stimulating the British court, began to consider and discuss the sources of the new population. The Secretary for Administration proposed to "occupy Japan and plunder the population", so the Department of Industry, which was only established at the end of the year, began to oppose it, "There are no iron ore mines there!" ”； The Navy also proposed to attack Korea, but the Foreign Affairs Department objected, "The British Dynasty and Korea will quickly make friends and jointly defend the Balhae State, and the attack on Korea is actually a declaration of war against the British court!" ”； So the navy proposed to attack the Bohai State again, and no one objected to it, but the chief secretary raised another question: "What should I do if I encounter the imperial army?" ”。

Fu Ning found that the "not to stimulate the British court and greatly increase the number of Han Chinese" set by himself was a false proposition, because the surrounding situations were all related to the British court; It is impossible to find a way to increase the number of Han people without stimulating the British court. As a result, Fu Ning had no choice but to announce that the issue would be put on hold for the time being, and that the direction of the troop would be discussed when a large number of naval ships were completed in May.

Then there was the issue of the Culture Division. Infant drowning, clan disputes, private courts, preference for sons, and lack of teachers are all topics jointly raised by Fu Ning and the Cultural Department. In the end, it was decided that the Chief Secretary would set up a nursery and accept abandoned babies to raise them uniformly, and those who drowned babies would be punished as offenders and handed over to the coal mine for six months. Clan disputes and private courts are to be punished as actual crimes, and as long as no one dies, they will all be handed over to the coal mine for fines, and the time of the punishment depends on the size of the crime. The students of the secondary school hall go to each primary school in batches in rotation to teach primary school students, print a large number of various teaching materials for students and the public to study on their own, and the Department of Culture regularly organizes various examinations, and those who pass the examination will be rewarded with vouchers in kind; Each workshop has a policy to increase the wages of employees who have a certificate to pass the exam, and the more exams they pass, the more the salary will increase. The Propaganda Department of the Department of Culture has increased mobile publicity, rewarding people in the form of in-kind rewards for answering correct questions in mobile propaganda, such as iron pots, lighters, shoes, etc. Men and women are paid equally for equal work in all workshops, and discrimination against women is prohibited.

At the meeting, it was decided that a large number of factories and workshops would be separated from the Department of Commerce and merged into the newly established Department of Industry, and the Department of Commerce would be changed to be mainly responsible for light industry and commercial trade, and Lao Yue would continue to serve as the director of the Finance Department and the Department of Commerce. The Industrial Division is mainly responsible for the mining and heavy industry, the development of two newly discovered iron ore mines in central Luzon and the development of three newly discovered coal mines on the island of Luqiu. The military industry is still subordinate to the Department of Military Affairs. The main tasks of the first half of the year were to expand the construction of the navy, expand the construction and development of the textile industry, increase commercial trade, improve the industrial structure, continue to increase the output of seafood, increase grain imports and reserves, and prepare to accept a large number of new immigrants in the second half of the year. The Department of Communications lays the railway between the two newly discovered coal mines and the chicken coop in the northern part of Liuqiu. Repair and expansion of the main road between Chiji and chicken coop

army building, increasing the number of naval sailors by 5,000, training in advance, and preparing to receive 10 new warships of 5,000 tons in May; The 3rd Division of the Luqiu Army fell back to Liuqiu from Luzon, and the 2nd Division of the Liuqiu Army continued to be stationed in Luzon and reorganized into the 2nd Marine Division of the Navy, continued to clean up the Luzon natives, plundered the young and strong natives and sent them to the iron ore mines. The army's rear guns have been replaced with new repeated-fire rear guns, and the research and development of smokeless gunpowder has been accelerated. Because of the haste, backward technology, irrational layout, backward artillery, frequent mechanical failures, and serious rust of the five ironclad warships, including the Zhongxing and Anxing ironclad warships, the old ones will be dismantled after the new ironclad battleships are launched in May, and 10 3,000-ton ironclad warships will be rebuilt.

Even if it can greatly increase the population of Liuqiu, but it can't stimulate the British court, Fu Ning couldn't think of any good way, until he heard the news from the two Guangtang of Fengge: there was a rebellion in Gaozhou, Guangdong, and the peasant Chen Siyuan pulled the flag to resist taxes, gathered 100,000 people to capture Gaozhou, and called himself the king of Daxi. At this time, Fu Ning opened his mind and urgently ordered Liangguangtang to contact Chen Siyuan immediately and give him 50,000 taels of silver tickets; Trying to get Chen Siyuan to bring the people to Lianzhou, the Liuqiu Club traded with him in Lianzhou Port, and exchanged a steel knife for five people, regardless of men, women, old and children. At the same time, he ordered the navy to try to contact the 3rd Division of the Army, which had already begun to board ships from Luzon on the way back to Liuqiu, and immediately turned to Lianzhou, Guangxi, and captured Lianzhou to meet Chen Siyuan; A convoy of transport ships that had just unloaded iron ore at Keelung Port immediately loaded 50,000 steel knives and 3,000 tons of rice and rushed to Lianzhou, Guangxi, to prepare to trade with Chen Siyuan.

At the end of February of the 22nd year of Qianping (1721 AD), the 3rd Division of the Liuqiu Army arrived in Lianzhou, and immediately captured 50,000 soldiers and civilians in the city, and blocked the news and waited for the arrival of the convoy. At this time, Chen Siyuan was still expanding his power in Gaozhou, and he didn't believe the words of the intelligence officer of Liangguangtang after receiving 50,000 taels of silver tickets from Liangguangtang at the end of January, but with the idea of giving it a try, he still sent 5,000 peasant troops to carry the people all the way to Lianzhou. Who would have thought that Guangxi's tax burden was very heavy and the people were miserable, and now the 5,000-strong peasant army on this road has actually expanded all the way to 80,000, and this is the situation when the Third Division captured Lianzhou and the peasant army was more than 100 miles away from Lianzhou. When the convoy arrived three days later, the peasant army belatedly marched to the city of Lianzhou, and by this time the 5,000 peasant army had expanded to 100,000, and most of them were old and weak, women and children. The Third Division didn't care so much, but actually put more than 100,000 people on the transport ship, preparing to send all the personnel to Liuqiu; Hong Xinxian, the general of the peasant army, was frightened by the third division's use of flying thunder cannons and mortars, and did not dare to resist. It happened that the intelligence officers of Liangguangtang also rushed to Lianzhou, and after persuasion, the Third Division let go of Hong Xinxian's 5,000 Gaozhou people and gave them 20,000 steel knives.

Later, the transport team came with Fu Ningxin's instructions, so the peasant army took steel knives and explosives in front of the city to seize the land to block the road and confront the official army, the third division plundered the population in the rear and sent it to Liuqiu, and plundered more than one million people in three months, and finally even the "Daxi Wang" Chen Siyuan, who rushed to Lianzhou, was plundered by the third division, and the last to evacuate in June was Hong Xinxian's more than 10,000 peasant army. When Wang Genghe of Nan'an County came slowly with the official army, he only saw the silent city, the silent village, and the silent field, but he couldn't see a single person; There was no one in a radius of hundreds of miles, and there was no blood or corpses, and all the silence frightened the officers and soldiers for a while and retreated in a panic.

It was not only Wang Genghe of Nan'an County who was frightened, but also the yamen of Qiongzhou Mansion. For a time, 10,000-ton iron ore transport ships spewed black smoke, carrying large ships and small boats, warships, fishing boats, wooden boats, and sailboats to and frantically transported people in the Qiongzhou Strait; The prefect of Qiongzhou played "there are Kunpeng appearing in the bay, spitting black fog straight into the sky, and taking all kinds of ships to swim and play." ”； The prefect of Guangzhou figured out that the ship passing through the open sea was Liuqiu's ship, but he couldn't figure out what Liuqiu's ship was doing, so he played the imperial court, "Liuqiu iron ship, exchange things, I don't know what it means!" ”。 Because the king of Nan'an County did not report to the court about the disappearance of the people of Qinzhou and Lianzhou, but only played "The thieves have calmed down, Qinlian and Lianzhou have been recovered, and Da'an is everywhere!" The result of this information was that it was not until August that the imperial court learned that the merchants of the three seaports had gone to Liuqiu in large numbers; There was no rebellion in Liangguang, and the imperial court was relieved, and only a few loyal ministers called on the court to punish Ryuqiu for "rebellion", but those ministers did not make a single wave at all.
