The 300th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China is scheduled for mid-September, and an announcement will be issued across the country to solicit plans for the ceremony. This idea came from Huang Tingzhong, and it was also out of finding Confucian scholars hidden deep in the people. When Ouyang Xuan received the news, it was May after bidding farewell to Loulan, and he was exploring an artificial cave in Tibet (now Tibet), where Ouyang Xuan had been here in later generations, in Bayankra Mountain, at that time to explore the remains of the Duliba stone saucer, but found nothing, and this cave has not been discovered. This time, it was Ouyang Xuan who also came for the Duliba stone saucer, and after many repeated explorations, a Yulin guard was lucky to find this artificial cave hidden by a stone slab door, and also found more than a thousand Duliba people living in the cave, which was the branch of the Lost and Qiang Land. This was Ouyang Xuan's biggest gain, and at the same time, he found more than 200,000 carrier stone disks rich in graupel energy. Ouyang Xuan sent these stone plates, along with this Duliba people, to the Yinshan base where the elder was.

Through the Elders, it was learned that this band of Duliba people were people from different countries on their planet. He is taller than the other Duliba, and has a blue complexion. Ouyang Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and finally found all the Duliba people scattered all over the earth. But Ouyang Xuan felt from the elder's words that they still had some secrets that they hadn't told him, and it was not easy to ask directly, so he simply didn't ask.

After dealing with the affairs of the Duliba people, Ouyang Xuan easily began to patrol around again. Except for the five personal guards, no one else was with him. The main place to inspect was the place covered by the water diversion project, and Ouyang Xuan was very pleased to see the desolate desert turn into a green forest and grassland. Six man-made rivers flowed from the two huge lakes of Shazhou and Xinzhou, and the interweaving of the canal network covered the entire arid region, and finally flowed through Fuzhou and into the water network of the Hetao. The landscape of Mengzhou is almost the same, the vast Gobi is now a lake, with a dense water network and abundant vegetation. At the end of the project, Ouyang Gui issued an edict to plant one acre of trees, and those who survive in three years will be rewarded with two acres of land or 100 heads of cattle and sheep. After years of planting trees and raising grass, gradually the herdsmen also realized the benefits, the original wind and sand are gone, replaced by a gentle breeze. The physical condition of the people living here has also improved. All these changes were brought about by the planting of trees after the water diversion project, so the Chinese attach great importance to the protection of woodlands and grasslands. Under the guidance of local officials, herders and farmers have chosen to plant economically valuable trees in areas with abundant water and grass, and the planting of trees has also created cash cows. This is the change brought about by the water diversion project, Ouyang Xuan walked here, was in a very good mood, and often painted poems on this topic. Gave it to the person who planted the tree, so there are many paintings of Ouyang Xuan on the market for more than 100 years, and the history books say that this hundred years is the prosperous era of Tufu. In Chinese law, there is a crime of logging trees without permission, and one tree is punished by forced labor. In some areas, commercial forests are planted annually and logged in annual rotations, in a cycle of 30 years, and every county in China now has such forest farms. The supply of Chinese forests has been ensured, and the original desert areas in Australia are now full of towns and cities, and agriculture continues. On some desert islands in Massachusetts, Ouyang Xuan has established many high-end forest farms, all of which are high-grade timber that has been reincarnated for more than a hundred years. It is now harvest time to compensate for the huge amount of money spent on water diversion projects. This water diversion project used up the gold accumulated by Ouyang Xuan in his early years, which was more than 200,000 tons. In order to maintain the stability of the currency, there was also a large amount of brass and silver, which used 65% of Ouyang Xuan's wealth. Now the banknote has been developed as early as a hundred years ago, a kind of wool, polar introduction of Mengzhou shrubs and a kind of blue bamboo found in Massachusetts mixed in a certain proportion, with a special method made of banknotes, with fire-resistant, water-resistant, can be customized internal color stripes characteristics, Ouyang Xuan saw this material banknotes, feel that the banknotes of later generations are simply weak. If it weren't for the diversion project and the full start of the refinery, the note would have been out long ago. At the beginning of this year, Ouyang Xuan gave each Yulin soldier half a year off, and only Ouyang Xuan and Yulin soldiers can experience this sense of achievement and mission. Even looking at the original Gobi desert and the dolls, cattle and sheep running on the current lake and grassland, they will be happy for a long time.

Although there is a huge amount of investment, there is almost no return, but Ouyang Xuan is happy to be in it. Prices did not rise because of the huge investment in the project, thanks to the currency regulation by Nie Sheng and the Ministry of Commerce, who used to increase the supply of social goods and recycle the money hoarded in the hands of the rich. In addition, almost all of the funds invested in this investment are deposited in the private sector in the form of salaries and used for the purchase of daily necessities. This is a strategy, and the living materials in Nie Sheng's hands are porcelain, cooking oil, and metal. Ouyang Xuan was blocked by Nie Sheng, so he did not let go of the operation of porcelain and metal, and to this day Ouyang Xuan has to admire Nie Sheng's foresight.

After the Chinese celebration in September, the exchange and use of paper money will be fully started, which will be an epoch-making event, and now the issuance matters are ready, waiting for the joint edict of Ouyang Gui and the Parliamentary Yuan, the establishment of a central money bank, responsible for currency issuance and regulation. Ouyang Xuan was almost not involved in this regard, because Nie Sheng was already a master-level figure in terms of experience and theory, and he was an absolute authority in this regard.

Ouyang Xuan did not forget to inquire about the news of Han when he was on the tour, and now there are fewer and fewer merchants coming and going to Han Land, and because Ouyang Xuan had killed Drusus and bloodied the Guards, Rome has completely cut off trade with China in the past hundred years. Chinese goods could only occasionally enter Europe through the Xiongnu territories. Because Ouyang Xuan gave up all overseas garrisons except for the Sinai Peninsula, the Xiongnu resumed the policy of caravan raiding for a hundred years, completely interrupting the trade between China and the West. But China's economy did not fall into a depression because of this, after all, Western demand is far less than domestic demand. Today's busiest are the seaports in China, and trade has become more frequent as Australia's desert development deepens. At that time, the Feng family is now among the wealthy families in China because of maritime trade. And the Taishu clan has always kept a low profile, silently operating the cattle and sheep trade in Hutu County and Tiancheng County. In order to compensate for the guilt of the Taishu's, Ouyang Xuan gave all the follow-up improved cattle and sheep management rights to the Taishu's.

In September, Ouyang Xuan finally returned to Xia Gu in a high-profile manner, and now Xia Gu is far from what it was at the beginning, like other cities in China, the city wall as an inner city and antiquities, still exists, but the outer city is more prosperous. The summer valley in September is also the most beautiful season, under the shade of red and yellow leaves, the buildings and halls stand among them, and the spacious roads are full of pedestrians, although Huaxia now has mechanical vehicles, considering the environment, Ouyang Gui in Ouyang Xuan's suggestion, prohibiting private mechanical vehicles from entering the city, the most on the city's roads are bicycles and buses, and there is a subway network extending in all directions. Ouyang Xuan was in it, and he really felt like he was back in the afterlife. Without letting Ouyang Gui arrange to greet him, Ouyang Xuan just walked on the bustling streets of China with the guards, occasionally taking two bus stops, or curiously taking a few subway stops. People didn't pay much attention to this young rich boy with his entourage, but the kind of heroism and majesty exuded from his body made them feel that this person was unusual. There are many such people in Huaxia, and they also have to take the bus or subway. The only people who could own a private car in the city were the emperor, emperor, prime minister, and other supreme rulers in China.

This is the capital of China, Xia Valley, which is currently the largest city in the world, with a population of 8 million, and an area about the size of Shanghai in later generations. It is 40 li from east to west, and 52 li from south to north. According to Ouyang Gui's character, a large square was built in front of the noon gate of the palace, with the Council and the Academy, the Academy of Scholars, the Military and Political Yuan, and the Prime Minister's Office on both sides. Also inexplicably designed a wolf and phoenix flag as for the center of the square, every day to raise the flag against the sun, with the sunset flag, as if it has become a scenery in China, Ouyang Duo trained the Flying Tiger Army was renamed the wolf and phoenix army by Ouyang Gui, and actually recruited a lot of female soldiers, and the daily lifting of the flag is responsible for this group of female soldiers. When he is in a good mood, he will take the white wolf and phoenix for a walk in the square to meet the people. Ouyang Gui listened to it, and immediately worked on the spot, calling the secretary of the Criminal Department, the political premier Huang Tingzhong, the deacon of the Shangshu Academy, and the deacon of the Council to the square, and started the on-site office under it. In the end, the bully and the Taishou of a county in Qianzhou, who had interests with him, were arrested, and a month later, after a public trial by the Ministry of Justice in the square, he was convicted and his house was raided. This kind of thing happened a total of three times, one of which was when two local officials poured into each other, and Ouyang Gui saw through it on the spot, and the two officials were cut down to the people and never hired.

Later, at the suggestion of Huang Tingzhong, a bronze statue made of hollow lion was set up in the square, there was a letter opening on the back, and there was a locked door at the bottom. This system lasted for a thousand years, and formed an idiom, the Golden Lion Submission, which means to go to the government to file a complaint or make suggestions to the government.

At that time, Ouyang Xuan was still on the water diversion site, and when he finished reading the report transferred by Huang Tingzhong, Ouyang Xuan almost stopped laughing. More than fifty years have passed since this happened, and every day after the wolf and phoenix flag was lowered at dusk, the Flying Tiger guards would open the small door in the golden lion's belly to get the letter. At first, there were quite a lot, but later there were fewer and fewer grievances, and more and more suggestions, and now there can be a letter of redress a year, which will make Ouyang Guile go to the day. As for the letter of advice, there were many good suggestions, but later there were not many such suggestions. There was even a seamstress who suggested when and what style of clothes for His Majesty the Emperor to wear, of course, this suggestion was now recruited into the palace by Ouyang Gui, and was specifically responsible for designing clothes for Ouyang Gui. Now the people in the capital have followed Ouyang Gui and began to pay attention to their own clothing styles, and gradually formed a unique style, which has been greatly modified on the basis of Hanfu.

When Ouyang Xuan appeared in the palace square, just in time to lower the flag, a flag with a super freehand white wolf and colorful phoenix pattern slowly fell from the flagpole nearly nine meters high. From a distance, Ouyang Xuan saw Ouyang Gui standing in the square with Buick Guli watching the flag lowered, and two phoenixes in the sky were hovering in the sky. The guards stood ten steps away from Ouyang Gui and looked at the surroundings vigilantly, Ouyang Xuan smiled slightly, and said to the guards beside him: "This girl will never grow up." Ouyang Xuan slowly walked towards Ouyang Gui, Ouyang Gui also saw Ouyang Xuan, and immediately rushed over. A light green tunic Hanfu, with the two short knives that Ouyang Xuan sent to Taishu Xuan hanging on the belt, this Hanfu has been improved by the tailor, it seems that Ouyang Gui is in very good shape, both the elegance of Hanfu, and the ability needed in this era, there is no wide sleeves of Hanfu, but the kind of gauze close-fitting long sleeves, and the bottom hem has also changed from that kind of hypertrophy to an oblique corset style, the whole is very elegant and beautiful, with the pendant on the waist, it looks more heroic and sassy for women.

Ouyang Gui came to Ouyang Xuan's side, and said with a deep salute: "Father, it's been forty-three years, why did you come back, I want to die Gui'er."

Ouyang Xuan looked at Ouyang Gui in front of him, how could he not be connected with the crazy Ouyang Gui back then. Today's Ouyang Gui is one hundred and seventy-four years old according to his age, but his face is still less than thirty, and outsiders who don't know it think it is a sister and brother meeting when they see it.

"Haha, my son is very promising, he actually killed the plateau, and leveled the Xiqiang that I didn't dare to try back then, which is much stronger than Duo'er Shang'er. It's just that General Zhao has passed away for more than 90 years, so let's continue to have another husband. Why don't I find one for you? ”

"No, my father, Gui'er has long been content to meet General Zhao in this life, and her knees are full of children and grandchildren, very content, and there are Buick Guli peony and fragrant plums as companions, and courtiers share worries for me, so what is not content. Erchen has already broken off the idea of men and women, and after the death of Brother Yan, Erchen has already married his mind to this country. It is the greatest wish of the sons and daughters to be able to keep this family business for their father."

"I have suffered you, I owe you a favor in my previous life, and I owe you a lot in this life. Say, whatever I want to compensate you, I will pick the stars in the sky for you."

"Well, it's been a long time since I've eaten the dishes made by my father, why don't you feast on the ministers tonight?" Ouyang Gui still pulled Ouyang Xuan's arm like he did when he was a child and began to be coquettish.

"Haha, you, you just don't change your gluttony. Well, I'll promise you. Tell someone to prepare to go, wait a while, when will the name of the phoenix be changed."

"It's not that the name given by my father is too mediocre, so I changed my current name, Peony Xiangmei is good? Erchen thought about it for a long time before he thought of it."

"Forget it, it's up to you. These four divine beasts are also estranged from me, and when they see me coming back, they don't say hello."

As soon as the words fell, Ouyang Xuan felt that the big head of the Buick behind him was pushing against him, and Gu Li also ran over from a distance and pounced on Ouyang Xuan, as for the two phoenix emperors, they fell on Ouyang Xuan's shoulders and rubbed Ouyang Xuan with their heads, which was considered a courtesy. "How many of you, with a new master who has power over the world, have you forgotten me?" Buick and Gu Li seemed to be children who had made a mistake, bowed their heads in front of Ouyang Xuan, and swept Ouyang Xuan's legs back and forth with their tails, while Fenghuang rubbed back and forth on Ouyang Xuan's head. "You see that my father and the emperor are all wrong, let's go, go back to the palace, I want to eat the barbecue made by my father. Now that I think about it, my saliva is about to come out." Ouyang Gui pulled Ouyang Xuan's arm with a look of yearning.

Buick opened the way in front, and after Guli broke off, the two phoenixes reconnoitred in the air and walked towards the palace. Today's pedestrians in the square are feasting their eyes, not only seeing the current empress, but also the holy emperor who has disappeared from the world for a hundred years. The news of Ouyang Xuan's return to the capital spread throughout Xiagu and Gyeonggi Province like wings, and at the same time continued to spread rapidly to the whole country. In the hundred years since Ouyang Xuan disappeared, Huaxia has gone through three emperors, Ouyang Duo, Ouyang Shang, and Ouyang Gui, although they are all emperors who have made great achievements, but Huaxia people still feel a sense of security in their hearts, they are used to the years when Ouyang Xuan is there, as long as the country is in a little danger, they will always see Ouyang Xuan's figure. As long as Ouyang Xuan is here, the Chinese people will have the bottom in their hearts and have something to rely on. The current generation of Huaxia people grew up listening to the stories and legends of the Holy Emperor, and in their minds, Ouyang Xuan is an all-powerful person who is close to a god, and he is the spiritual support in their hearts. As long as Ouyang Xuan is here, Huaxia will not be as chaotic as Han Land.

Now Ouyang Xuan has entered people's field of vision again, the spiritual pillar of a country is back, how can it not cause a sensation, the Wolf Phoenix Square that night was overcrowded, Ouyang Xuan in order to appease the people, Ouyang Xuan had to let the five Yulin guards all dressed in full gear, standing around the square like a benchmark, giving people the feeling that the legendary divine army is back. Ouyang Xuan also came to the palace gate between cooking and waved to the crowd in the square. In an instant, the slogan of "Holy Emperor Mighty" resounded throughout Xia Gu City. The most excited are those officials, who are also a generation that has grown up listening to Ouyang Xuan's stories and legends like other ordinary people. The legendary Holy Emperor will be met at tomorrow's court meeting, and some people will be almost mad with excitement. This night was almost brightly lit because of Ouyang Xuan's return, and Xia Gu was destined to be a sleepless night.

After Ouyang Gui had a full barbecue feast, he finally had a good night's sleep. For more than 90 years, she has been working state affairs, helping Ouyang Shang, and personally taking charge of national affairs, so that she has not had a good night's sleep with peace of mind. The courtiers are also well aware of the hard work of the empress today, and they are also becoming more and more diligent, trying to disturb Ouyang Gui as little as possible. In the years when Ouyang Xuan was away, Huang Tingzhong, Li Mu, and Peng Fei took care of Ouyang Gui like a loving father, and Ouyang Gui, who was out of whack by nature, was still the same, working hard every day, and using busy work to make him forget his relatives and forget many things. Today, the great father came back, she finally let go of her burden, and beautifully hugged the rag doll that Ouyang Xuan made for her back then and fell asleep. Seeing Ouyang Gui falling asleep, Ouyang Xuan's tears couldn't stop flowing. "Your Majesty, I've suffered this child all these years", Huang Tingzhong couldn't help choking a little when he saw Ouyang Xuan's tears on the side, and said softly. Ouyang Gui grew up with him watching, and his emotions are better than father and daughter. When Ouyang Shang was seriously ill and couldn't choose the emperor's candidate, it was Huang Tingzhong's advice that made Ouyang Xuan decide to let Ouyang Gui, who had just lost his husband, sit on the emperor's throne, but he didn't expect to make an innocent and lively child calm and quiet. Let a person who originally lived for a thousand years die to only four hundred years, Ouyang Xuan felt very guilty.

He and Huang Tingzhong came out of the inner room and wiped the tears on their faces, "Zhong Xuan will work harder, and take care of Gui'er on behalf of me." Now that Han Di is going to raise swords again, I wanted to take you with me, but Gui'er is really not at ease here, if you are not there, this stupid boy still doesn't know what he will do. Is there an emperor in the imperial family? ”。

"At present, there is none, they are all mediocre, and they have not yet been found with Shang'er and a half, according to their subordinates, Gui'er has both ability and political integrity, and has won the hearts of the people, so it can be continued."

"Anyway, I will leave the Yulin army in the capital, and Zhong Xuan will serve as the commander to assist Gui'er in governing the world. I only took the guard battalion south to the Han land and rebuilt the new army to level the Han land."

"Your Majesty, this matter is inappropriate, although the Yulin soldiers have virtue and talent, it is their duty to go into battle to kill the enemy. The minister thought that those who were looking for ability in the army could enter the court as officials and auxiliary politicians."

"Well, Zhong Xuan's words are wrong, the troubled times are coming, it is a safe thing to have an army in my hands, Gui'er was raised by my own hands, I am very relieved to hand over the Yulin army to Gui'er, and I am very relieved to have Zhong Xuan and other ministers of the humerus, I am very relieved. This time, I only brought the pious book and the guard camp with me, and I wanted to quell the chaos with the people of the Han land. Then select those with virtue and ability from the Yulin Army to join the court. There is another matter to be handed over to Zhong Xuan, General Li and General Peng, to select young talents throughout the country, and to renew a husband for Gui'er, and treat him as a national prince." "No!".

With the issuance of Ouyang Xuan's edict, the Yulin soldiers who were still on vacation hurried back to Xiagu, and after the selection of Huang Tingzhong and others, more than 400 soldiers were selected to enter the court as officials, and the original Yulin officials assisted in the administration of the dynasty. At the same time, a battalion of Yulin veterans was left to train the Flying Tigers. When Ouyang Xuan just said the three words of the Flying Tiger Army, Ouyang Gui pouted, "Father, now it's called the Wolf Phoenix Army."

"Yes, yes, this is Gui'er's wolf and phoenix army, I forgot about it. Listen, this is the current emperor's dragon and phoenix army, but you can train well."

"No!" The soldiers stood up and saluted Ouyang Gui.

"In a few days, the ceremony will give me a prestige, you are all heroes who follow me to build the country, this country is also yours, you must be spiritual, go back and practice hard." "No!"
