Chapter Fifty-Eight: Leaving the Island to Qiongzhou

Qiongzhou is the Hainan of later generations, and Qiongzhou is also another name of Hainan in later generations. This state was established in Tang Zhenguan for five years, and the jurisdiction is Qiongshan, Tingmai, Wenchang, Shecheng, Lingao, Lehui and other counties, and the state capital is located in Qiongshan.

Since the beginning of the Song Dynasty, it has been divided into five counties, namely, Wang, Tight, Upper, Middle and Lower, according to the conditions of household registration and land resources, and only Qiongshan is medium on the whole island of Qiongzhou, and the rest of the counties are all inferior. Since the Tang Dynasty, Qiongshan has been focused on development, and its economy and culture have always been in the leading position on the island.

It is these advantages that make it the earliest and best developed area on Qiongzhou Island. From the fifth year of Zhenguan to open Qiongzhou Mansion, the county capital of Qiongshan is the location of Qiongzhou Mansion, so Qiongshan is also known as the "Mansion City".

Although this is the official introduction of the government to Qiongzhou, Zhao Xiaoxi knows it very well. It is only a medium-sized county, and it can also be described as the most inconspicuous medium-sized county in the Great Song Dynasty. The people living on this island are afraid that there are not as many people as the newly built New South City.

At the time of the current emperor Zhao Xu, the year name was changed from Yuanyou to the first year of Shaosheng. Zhao Xiaoxi felt that the development of Xinnancheng had entered the right track, so he intended to go to Qiongzhou Island to serve as a veritable king of Qiongzhou.

Before leaving Ryukyu Island, Zhao Xiaoxi also knew that this time he left with his father Zhao Yu and his father-in-law Duan Zhengchun. Zhao Xiaoxi was also a little speechless about this king of Zhennan, who came here and lived for a few months and didn't want to return.

But the family is the father-in-law, and everything is done with the help of the communication system of the cloth pavilion to communicate with Dali in China. Even after the Chinese New Year, the three shops promised to him were also sent by the Dali royal family to operate.

This time, Zhao Xiaoxi left, first, to take office in Qiongzhou, and his palace in Qiongzhou was also built. The second is to send this father-in-law back to Dali, including sending Zhao Yu to Duan Yu to complete the marriage, which is also something that both parents approve.

In view of the distance between the two places, Zhao Xiaoxi will organize a happy event for Zhao Mo in Qiongzhou. After all. It is relatively close to Dali Road, if Dali comes to welcome the marriage, it will undoubtedly be much more convenient.

Although Zhao Xiaoxi asked everything to travel simply, when he left Xinnancheng, he carried several large ships of supplies. There are quite a few of them. They are all necessary materials to be transported to Qiongzhou Island.

With the focus of construction, it slowly shifted from Xinnancheng to Qiongzhou Island. During this time, the seat of the state capital of Qiongzhou, whether it is the wharf or the road, is under intense repair. Many people in Leizhou have come to work and make money.

Since the last time Zhao Xiaoxi sent grain and salt to the people of Leizhou, the people of Leizhou have known. In a remote place like theirs, there is also a prince of the imperial court. There is such a prince. Maybe they'll have a better time.

Sure enough, as Zhao Xiaoxi began to plan to engage in infrastructure construction in Qiongzhou. Many people in Leizhou, following the propaganda of the government, took the warships of the Qiongzhou Island Navy and came to Qiongzhou Island across the sea one after another.

As long as you are willing to work hard every day, you will not have to worry about finding something to do. And the wages that can be obtained for these jobs also make these people crazy. A family only needs one young man to work. can earn a family's food for a day.

As Qiongzhou Island changes almost day by day, some people who left Qiongzhou and ran to Leizhou. It seems to be aware of it too. In the future, Qiongzhou will definitely not worry about food and clothing, and they will return to their former villages with their families.

As long as the family is young and strong, and goes to work in the official mansion under the rule of Qiongzhou Mansion, when he gets off work every day, he can bring food to the family for a day or even a few days. Those who want to be paid will be paid, and those who don't need to be paid can be converted into rice.

Relying on the mature base of New South City. The people under Zhao Xiaoxi's rule were able to eat relatively cheap grain and rice. The price of grain is also controlled by the government in New South City, and private individuals are not even allowed to sell it.

If the merchants of the neighboring Fanbang want to buy it, then the price will naturally not be the price of selling to the people. For this. This decree alone made many people under Zhao Xiaoxi's rule grateful for Zhao Xiaoxi's benevolent behavior.

Leaving Xinnan City this time, Mu Wanqing, who was already a little pregnant, was reluctant to part with Zhao Xiaoxi. But it is also clear that Zhao Xiaoxi is going to do great things, and as the master of the harem of the palace, she must guard this home for her.

When Zhao Xiaoxi was not in Xinnancheng, the power of the city lord was taken over by Zhao Xiaoqian, and Mu Wanqing could supervise it on the side. Overall, Mu Wanqing, the concubine, also has a lot of power in Xinnan City, even if she doesn't usually take care of things.

Looking at Mu Wanqing, who was reluctant, Zhao Xiaoxi also said with some reluctance: "Qing'er, I bother you to worry about it at home." Mother and aunt also need you and Mei'er to take care of them more carefully.

When I go to Qiongzhou this time, I guess I won't be able to come back for a while. However, as long as time permits, my husband will definitely come back to visit you. On the island, you have to take care of yourself, and if you have something to do, you can send a message to me, understand? ”

This time, not only Mu Wanqing stayed, but the four daughters of Meilan Zhuju also volunteered to stay to take care of Mu Wanqing, as well as Princess Xu, who was also not suitable for long-distance travel. The rest of Wang Yuyan, Li Qinglu and others will accompany Zhao Xiaoxi to Qiongzhou to take office.

understands that this husband is actually reluctant to part with her. It's just that at the moment, Qiongzhou also needs Zhao Xiaoxi to take command in the past. The Ryukyu base, on the other hand, has been managed in an orderly manner for a few months.

Looking at the rapid changes in Xinnan City, Mu Wanqing also knew that this man had great ambitions. Sometimes, for the sake of justice and the country, he naturally can't take care of too many children's personal feelings.

Mu Wanqing, who didn't want to be distracted, also suppressed the reluctance in her heart, and said with a smile: "Husband, please rest assured, I will take good care of my mother and sister-in-law." On the contrary, the husband is outside, so you have to be more careful in everything! ”

When the two couples were talking about separation, Zhao Yu, the daughter who was about to get married, was also saying goodbye to Princess Xu in tears. As for marrying Dali, she naturally will not object. can think of separating from his mother, and he is somewhat reluctant.

These days, in order to make Zhao Yu a qualified daughter-in-law, Princess Xu also specially educated her for a period of time. Let her honor her in-laws in the future and continue the bloodline for the future Prince Duan Yu of Dali.

Looking at her crying daughter, Princess Xu, who was originally reluctant, persuaded her: "Zhu'er, don't cry, how can a person who wants to marry a wife still be so childish!" If you want to come back, you can bring Yu'er back to see your mother.

During this time, my mother is accompanied by your two sisters-in-law, and you can relax. If it weren't for my mother's physical discomfort, I would also like to see what your soon-to-be-married husband looks like. Don't cry, or you'll be laughing at it. ”

As the principals of the two families, King Xu, Zhao Hao and Duan Zhengchun, they felt that it was nothing. In any case, during this trip to Ryukyu Island, the relationship between the two families has become a relationship of in-laws.

If Zhao Yu and Duan Yu successfully get married, it means that the relationship between the two alliances is really unbreakable. This kind of relationship made Duan Zhengchun, who stayed in Xinnancheng during this time, very fortunate to be able to marry Zhao Xiaoxi.

With the domineering spirit that Xinnancheng gradually revealed, Duan Zhengchun knew very well that when Zhao Xiaoxi returned to the Central Plains. I am afraid that the young genius above the hall is afraid that I will not be able to resist the return of Zhao Xiaoxi.

After deciding on this relationship between Weng and son-in-law, Zhao Xiaoxi also told Duan Zhengchun that he was ready to dominate the world in the future. In this matter, Duan Zhengchun was also worried about whether he could retain the inheritance of Dali.

But after receiving a lot of new affairs in New South City, he already knew that the world was much bigger than he imagined. If Duan Yu really has the ability, even if he loses the foundation of Dali in the future, he can create a foundation overseas.

The most critical point is whether Zhao Xiaoxi is willing to support the Duan family. If Zhao Xiaoxi is willing to support, the Duan family may not be able to create a Duan dynasty overseas in the future.

As a man, who doesn't have some ambition! And Duan Zhengchun, who has an adventurous personality, hopes that in his lifetime, he can see Duan Yu use the power of Zhao Xiaoxi to carry forward the prestige of the Duan family and continue it.

With Zhao Xiaoxi and Mu Wanqing, as well as Mei Jian's daughters, they said goodbye. The rest of the women who accompanied Zhao Xiaoxi to Qiongzhou also said goodbye to Princess Xu and Mu Wanqing.

When this conversation before parting was over, Zhao Xiaoxi said to Li Yuncong beside him: "Yuncong, after this king leaves, you must cheer up the safety of Xinnan City and Pingyuan City." In addition, the construction of the northern part of the island must also be accelerated.

Remember, armaments cannot be stopped, and this king hopes to raise troops for a thousand days, so that you will not disappoint this king when the time comes. If there is a decision on the military aircraft, you can discuss it with the king's eldest brother.

In short, in a short time, remember the twelve words that the king told you. Any enemy who dares to provoke does not need to ask for instructions to resolutely crack down. At any time, the majesty of the Qiongzhou Navy cannot be provoked, do you hear clearly? ”

As the commander of the Navy and the naval commander of the New South City, Li Yuncong's status in the New South City is self-evident. From beginning to end, Li Yuncong will be humble. This style of being a low-key person and doing things in a high-profile manner has won the trust of Zhao Xiaoxi.

Knowing what the armament Zhao Xiaoxi was referring to, Li Yuncong quickly surrendered his hand and said: "Please rest assured, the last general will definitely live up to the prince's trust and train a powerful navy that can fight and win as soon as possible." ”

After some encouragement and admonition with the left-behind officials of the six ministries, Zhao Xiaoxi waved his hand and ordered to board the ship. Although it was only a parting like an emigration, it also added a few unspeakable reluctances.

When the sea ship arrived at the wharf on Qiongzhou Island, what was waiting for Zhao Xiaoxi and others was a very warm welcome scene. The officials of Qiongzhou Prefecture and County, who had been notified a long time ago, gathered at the dock to greet this prince, who seemed to be a little late.

No matter what psychology they have about Zhao Xiaoxi's arrival, they will be officials under Zhao Xiaoxi in the future. The reason is very simple, this is already a fief given to Zhao Xiaoxi by the imperial court.

This also means that in the future, their income will largely depend on this prince's income. In addition, their power of life and death is also in the hands of Zhao Xiaoxi. If you don't come to greet you, who would dare! (To be continued......)
