As Chinese New Year's Eve passed peacefully, the eighth year of Yuanyou was also in the past tense, entering the ninth year of Yuanyou. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, after every household had breakfast, many officials in the town came to the palace to pay New Year's greetings to Zhao Xiaoxi.

And when they arrived, the palace was also over, and Zhao Xiaoxi's children gave New Year's greetings to their elders. The only regret is that until this time, Li Qinglu still failed to wake up, and Zhao Hao and his wife did not let anyone bother.

For them, as elders, they all know this kind of thing. As long as they can hear the good news as soon as possible, even if these daughters-in-law get up late, it is estimated that they will not have any opinions.

With the New Year's money prepared by his parents, Zhao Xiaoxi also felt that he was still taking the New Year's money at this age, which was indeed a little unreasonable. But this is a tradition, and he naturally can't refuse. Moreover, this is also a festive and auspicious picture.

When the officials of the six ministries began to come to the door one after another, Zhao Xiaoxi naturally wanted to set up a banquet to entertain these heroes. And when Li Qinglu woke up to watch, it was just in time for lunch.

Knowing that she had missed the time to pay New Year's greetings to her elders, Li Qinglu was a little panicked. But Zhao Hao and Princess Xu didn't mind her rudeness at all, but comforted her and gave her a share of the New Year's money.

Listening to Princess Xu's smile: "Qinglu, you have won a jackpot this year, and my mother also hopes to hear your good news this year!" You know, my mother is so old, I look forward to taking care of your children in the future! ”

In the face of Princess Xu's expectations, the women who also listened to these words felt that this matter should be grasped quickly. After all, whoever can give birth to the first child, who belongs to Zhao Xiaoxi, who will be in this family in the future, will also enjoy a lot of treatment.

It is said that mothers are more expensive than children, even if they have no competition. In this kind of thing, they still hope to be one step ahead. It's just that the women also know that this kind of thing is not something that can be done if you want it!

After hosting a banquet to entertain the officials at noon, Zhao Xiaoxi brought a few carts of gifts to the workshop that was in high secrecy. New Year's greetings to the workers in those workshops. Also, give the first gift of the new year.

For the arrival of Zhao Xiaoxi, the director of the workshop and the workers felt warm in their hearts. In the past, when they were in the secret camp, they felt deeply favored by Zhao Xiaoxi. When I arrived on the island this time, I felt that this kind of grace was as heavy as a mountain!

Everyone knows that this prince shows great respect for every master who has moved here. Not to mention providing the best conditions for placement, this thoughtfulness and care alone is worth the work of the craftsmen for them.

I heard that the workers planned to start work on the second day of junior high school. Zhao Xiaoxi comforted: "Don't worry, this kind of thing can't be rushed." You are all working in the fourth year of junior high school, just like in the city. It is not bad for one or two days, and every ten years after that, you have to arrange a rest.

The king knows that you want to do more. But things can never be done, and your body is the most important thing. Only when you are strong and strong here, can the king produce what you need to produce!

This year is a pivotal one. It also means that each of you will be very happy. But this king promised. As long as you work hard this year, the king will give you a higher reward at the end of the year. ”

After chatting with these craftsmen for a while, Zhao Xiaoxi handed over a few carts of things to the workshop directors to send them down. Only then did he take the guards and leave the heavily guarded valley.

Compared to the other people living on the island, the workers in the workshop. Freedom is much more restricted. But Zhao Xiaoxi knows that every factory in this valley is the cornerstone of his future domination of the world, and there can be no problems at all.

And with the establishment of the new southern city, the future of this island. There will be all kinds of people. Who can guarantee that among these craftsmen, there will be no one who sees money and leaks the secrets of the workshop in the pursuit of fame and fortune?

For the sake of safety and to monopolize some business projects, Zhao Xiaoxi's move is also very necessary. If these craftsmen want to end such a life, they may have to wait until Zhao Xiaoxi officially enters the battle for world domination.

In the next few days, Zhao Xiaoxi visited several places as the city lord one after another. For the kindness of this city lord, every person in Xinnan City feels that it is their blessing to have such a prince.

By the time the fourth day of the Lunar New Year officially started, the craftsmen who had been recuperating for five days were more enthusiastic. The work of building a new city was once again raised, and the slaves knew that this was also their new beginning.

Along with some slave captains, the ban was lifted one after another. When you are resting, you can go out into the street and find odd jobs. Some of the slaves also felt that life here was much better than before.

Lectures that no one liked in the past are now being heard more by slaves in the slave camps. Any slave who can speak Chinese will be given a certain amount of freedom. This freedom was undoubtedly desired by the slaves.

Watching the new city rise day by day, the palace also began to prepare for Zhao Xiaoxi's wedding. After all, Zhao Xiaoxi said that when the new city is built, he will marry the women in the city lord's mansion and give them a due explanation.

When the women were also looking forward to the completion of the City Lord's Mansion, the four Mei Jian sisters who were far away in the Vulture Palace also officially received a message from Wu Wei. Let them hand over the affairs of the Vulture Palace to the old swordsmen and maids in other palaces to go to Ryukyu Island.

During this time, the four sisters who have been very concerned about Zhao Xiaoxi have also officially lifted the identity of the sword maid. They will officially marry Zhao Xiaoxi as the righteous daughter of Tianshan Tong. For this reason, Tianshan Tong's grandmother also deliberately returned to the Vulture Palace.

It is clear that Zhao Xiaoxi's temporary retirement is to prepare for his return to the Great Song Dynasty in the future. Tianshan Tong, who has now become the elder of the Carefree Sect, also made such a move, the purpose of which was to suppress Li Qiushui.

After all, Mei Jian's four daughters married as her righteous daughters. But Li Qiushui's granddaughter Li Qinglu will also marry Zhao Xiaoxi. In this way, Tianshan Tong's grandmother felt that her status seemed to be higher.

As the head of the Tianshan Vulture Palace, the thirty-six caves and seventy-two islands were also ordered by her. Prepare wedding gifts for the four daughters, and send them all to Ryukyu Island as congratulatory gifts for the four daughters.

For the order of the Vulture Palace, these cave masters and island owners who had been lifted from the life and death talisman also did not dare to resist anything. In particular, some island owners who are active in the southeast know better what Zhao Xiaoxi represents in the southeast sea.

Although they all live on the islands, they are relatively close to the mainland. Many times, their lives are not very easy. If they were not denominational, they would probably be inferior to the average fisherman.

In short, with the imminent completion of the new South City, there is also the news of Zhao Xiaoxi's upcoming wedding. On the rivers and lakes, there is a legend of sending this martial arts prince, and it has not stopped because of this, but has become more lively.

Some martial arts gangs that were friendly with Zhao Xiaoxi, after learning about this, also sent people to the southeast. Prepare to find a base for the Skeleton Pirates so they can get to New South for their wedding.

When such news spread, it was naturally impossible to hide Zhao Xu, the emperor. For this cousin, leaving the court and the rivers and lakes, he can still have such prestige, and he still feels a little uncomfortable.

After listening to the report of the palace guard, Zhao Xu also knew that Zhao Xiaoxi controlled the skeleton pirates. In a sense, taking on the important task of taking care of the stability of the Great Song Haiqiang is called a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people.

It's just that he knows one thing better, Zhao Hyo-seok, who lives far away on the island of Ryukyu overseas. I didn't become depressed because I left the court. On the contrary, without the restraints of the imperial court on him, he became even more like a fish in water.

Thinking about the holy decree originally given to him, Zhao Xu suddenly felt that his seemingly smart move had actually made another mistake. In the face of such a cousin, he really didn't know what to do.

In the end, he was sent to the chief eunuch beside the former Empress Dowager Gao, and asked him to serve as a wedding envoy and go to Ryukyu Island to give gifts on his behalf. Even Zhao Xu said that if the old eunuch didn't want to come back, he would follow Zhao Xiaoxi there in the future.

During this time, having lost his grandmother, who had formed a check and balance on him, Zhao Xu did not feel that the emperor's life was too easy. On the contrary, he felt that the role of this cousin in him and Da Song could not be ignored at all.

Even that cavalry is still located in Taiyuan Mansion. Regarding Cho Hyo-seok's departure, these generals did not express any dissatisfaction. But Zhao Xu knew that these cavalry generals were very dissatisfied with the loss of Zhao Xiaoxi, the commander.

Even when some generals did not cooperate with the commanders he sent. After the report of the imperial guard, Zhao Xiaoxi also specially reminded these generals that they must be loyal to the emperor's orders at all times.

It can also be seen from this point that Zhao Xiaoxi really has no intention of competing with him. It was completed because of his jealousy, as well as the caution of the monarch, and finally forced this county king, who helped the revival of the Great Song Dynasty, out of the court.

If it weren't for the holy decree announced by Zhao Xiaoxi when he left that day, maybe Zhao Xu would still have a chance to make up for his mistakes. But not long after the decree was issued, as the emperor, he made peace with Zhao Xiaoxi, how would the other courtiers treat him?

In a word, Zhao Xu, who loves noodles and is reckless, finally felt that he would send a eunuch by his grandmother's side. To serve as the wedding envoy of the imperial court, as a cousin, a little blessing to this cousin also released some goodwill.

At this moment, Zhao Xu understands very well that their brothers will benefit both if they join together, and if they divide they will lose both. The most important thing is that Zhao Xiaoxi really hasn't done anything that would have detrimental to his rule of the Great Song Dynasty since he left.

Such a brother, when Zhao Xu calms down, how can he not know to cherish it? Even those ministers, who gave him admonitions at the beginning, are now snubbed by him. Because, he felt that these ministers were suspected of sowing discord.

In the face of these changes made by Zhao Xu, before the marriage envoy arrived, Zhao Xiaoxi received the news. It's just that Zhao Xiaoxi knows that when he leaves the court this time, he will not return to Bianliang City until he has to do so.

When he really returned to Bianliang City, maybe it was the time when he officially announced that he would start competing with Zhao Xu for the world. And this day, how long will it take, Zhao Xiaoxi has no bottom in his heart! (To be continued......)
