Zhao Lin'er suddenly felt tears in her eyes.

Although from the outside, Zhao Lin'er has the appearance of a female man, as if she is like Li Cuixian, she can also crisscross the battlefield and fight two battles. But this is just an appearance, but Lin'er is trying her best to imitate Li Cuixian's style.

And in essence, Zhao Lin'er is still a weak woman made of water. Especially when she saw her father Zhao Yun, who had doted on her for more than ten years, she couldn't hold back her tears anymore.

The weak woman with the armor almost rolled off the horse, and then didn't bother to take off the armor and long knife, so she rushed to Zhao Yun with the weight of dozens of catties, and threw herself into her father's arms - an "iron man" pounced like this, fortunately, Dong Songchen and Tang Anan reacted quickly enough, and assisted Zhao Yun alone, so that he was not knocked down.

Zhao Yun also couldn't cry, since Zhao Lin'er was "snatched" by Chen Dexing, he can be said to be thinking about it every day, not thinking about it every day, but he didn't become ill, all because of Tang An'an's enlightenment. In addition, Zhao Lin'er only fell into the hands of thieves, not forever separated from Zhao Yuntian. Although it is difficult to meet, there is still a glimmer of hope after all, at least we can meet in a dream.

Today, it's a dream come true. I just don't know, when will this dream come true?

"Daddy, my daughter will never be separated from you again," Zhao Lin'er cried and said, "Daddy, go back to Lin'an with your daughter, and live with your daughter in the future, so that your daughter can be filial to her father." ”

"Okay, good, good ......" Zhao Yun said yes again and again, and suddenly felt inappropriate, "Lin'er, you said to return to Lin'an?" ”

Zhao Yun grew up in the south since he was a child. I have lived in Lin'an for decades, and I have long been accustomed to the water and soil in the south. His health is not good, if he goes north to Yanjing as a prisoner. I really don't know how many years I can live? So Zhao Lin'er begged Chen Dexing to let Zhao Yun return to Lin'an for retirement. And Chen Dexing was not worried about what happened to Zhao Yun in Lin'an, so he agreed to let Zhao Yun continue to live in Deshou Palace, and the daily supply was the same as when he was the emperor. Of course, the expenses were not paid by the Ming court, but by the wealthy Tiandao Sect.

The financial system of the Chen Ming Empire was at least modernized, the king's money bag did not go to the treasury, and the finances of the Tiandao Sect were equally independent. However, Chen Dexing, as a demigod of the Heavenly Dao Sect, can justifiably use the funds of the Heavenly Dao Sect. Moreover, the Heavenly Daoist Sect has been in excellent financial condition recently, and has just made another windfall.

Because the Heavenly Daoist Sect funded the second Mingzhou expedition. Naturally, it could be divided from the gold transported back from Mingzhou, and 20,000 catties of gold with a purity of more than ninety percent were obtained, all of which were used as the capital of Tiandaozhuang.

"Well, back to Lin'an." Zhao Lin'er nodded heavily and said, "Daddy still lives in Deshou Palace, and my daughter is accompanying Daddy in Lin'an." ”

"Lin'er, aren't you going back to Yanjing?" There was a faint worry in Zhao Yun's tone. Didn't Zhao Lin'er fall out of favor in front of Chen Dexing?

"I'm not going back to Yanjing," Zhao Lin'er wiped her tears. has already burst into laughter, "My daughter and the sage said that they would accompany their father in Lin'an." And Lin'an will also be temporarily used as the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the saint will go south from Tanggu every year when the northwest wind rises. Spend the winter in Lin'an, and then go north by boat when the spring flowers bloom. ”

Zhao Yun nodded, it turned out that Chen Dexing was going to engage in the north and south of the Beijing system. Jiangnan is prosperous. The population is large, and it is all the way to the west of Zhejiang. The population and wealth are more than the entire Northland. Therefore, it is impossible for the Ming court not to attach importance to Jiangnan, and it is inevitable to set up a companion capital in the south.

Of course. Lin'an is only a temporary companion to the capital. Lin'an on the shore of the West Lake is too rich, as if it is too gentle, and there is no power to suppress one side. Therefore, in Chen Dexing's plan, the future Daming South is either in Jiankang Mansion or Yangzhou.

……

West Lake Geling, Jia seems to be the first to give the first.

Jia Rudao's house on the edge of the West Lake is probably the best house in the entire Lin'an City. The pavilions and pavilions in the garden face each other one after another, all the way from the mountains to the lakeside. The places that can be called a scene alone include Pancui Hall, Snow Pavilion, Cuiyan Hall, Yixiu Hall, Yurui Stop, Qingshengtai, Guangyang Pavilion, Spring Rain Temple, Yangle Hall, Jiasheng Hall, Qiushui Temple, First Spring, Meiwu, Shuizhuyuan, Xiangyuelin, Sound in the Hall, Jietang, Aithis Pavilion, Liuzhao Pavilion, Duxi Pavilion, Yuyuan Pavilion, Soshi Pavilion, Yiwan Pavilion, Banxian Hall, Duobao Pavilion...... Dozens of continuous exquisite buildings and landscapes are integrated with the surrounding lakes and mountains, and there is elegance in the wealth.

Jia Dazhongchen's glorious life, I don't know how much public money he embezzled and how many bribes he accepted, most of which were used to build this mansion comparable to the imperial palace. I am afraid that there are only millions of copper coins spent, but the mansion created is full of books, and there is no smell of copper. Every scenery seems to be a good place for scholars to chant elegance and discuss state affairs.

Such a mansion like a heavenly fairy palace has now changed owners and has become Chen Dexing's palace in Lin'an.

However, Chen Dexing's harem is so small, and there are even fewer people who go south with him, so it can't be compared with Jia Yidao's backhouse in any case, and it is not at all a big Geling Palace. Therefore, most of the houses are only sealed and unoccupied, only the water and bamboo courtyard near the West Lake and the semi-idle hall built in the mountains have been cleaned and sorted out, the former has become Chen Dexing's accommodation, and the latter is Chen Huaiqing's residence.

Approaching dusk, the father and son had already taken care of their own affairs, and Chen Huaiqing went down the mountain to the water and bamboo courtyard by the lake. Talking and chatting with his son, waiting for the meal to start - it is rare for the father and son to have a meal together now. Moreover, Chen Huaiqing is going abroad, and there will be fewer opportunities to eat together in the future. According to Confucian standards, Chen Dexing sent a father in his fifties out of the country to grab land, and he was probably able to be disobedient and unfilial.

Mrs. Yang came with a plate and a smile, and inside the plate were two cups of steaming drinks. The mother-in-law put one of the cups on the table in front of Chen Huaiqing, and gave the other cup to Chen Dexing. also said softly: "This is the bitter water tea prepared by the slave according to the method taught by Xiaomo Niangzi, and milk and sugar are added according to the instructions of the saint." ”

Little ink lady? Bitter water tea? And milk and sugar? Chen Huaiqing was a little strange, picked up the tea cup on the desk and looked at it, it was a brown and somewhat thick drink. I smelled it, and it smelled burnt.

"It's not called bitter tea, it's called chocolate." Chen Dexing picked up the chocolate drink prepared by Yang Po'er and took a sip gently, in addition to the unique bitterness and aroma of cocoa, it was a rich milky aroma with a little sweetness. It's already a bit of a chocolate flavor of the afterlife.

"It tastes good!" Chen Dexing put down the teacup and said to his father with a smile, "My lord, you can also taste it, this is the best drink in Mingzhou." ”

Will it taste good? Looks like mud! Chen Huaiqing smiled bitterly, picked up the teacup, and reluctantly took a sip.

He thinks that this thing tastes like traditional Chinese medicine, or traditional Chinese medicine with milk, and he doesn't know how Chen Dexing can drink it? It seems that the things shipped from Mingzhou are not all good. This cocoa bean is nowhere near as sweet potato, potato and pepper.

These days, Chen Dexing also asked people to interview and plant sweet potatoes, potatoes, peppers and corn in the Geling Palace. The expedition members who returned from Mingzhou also introduced the high yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes - although they could not be compared with the yield per mu (per year) of several tons in later generations, they were definitely high-yield crops compared to rice, wheat, sorghum and corn in this era. Once promoted, it seems to be able to provide sufficient food for the people of China. Therefore, these two crops are highly valued, and in the eyes of Chen Huaiqing, the great Confucian, sweet potatoes and potatoes are the most precious of all the things obtained from Mingzhou. After all, the people live on food!

Chen Dexing spoke again at this time, and said to Yang Po'er, "Mother-in-law, how is Xiaomo Niang?" Are you getting better? ”

"Thanks to the saints, it's already better." Yang Po'er shook her head and said. "Actually, it's not a serious illness, it's a cold, I don't know how it can be so bad, this little ink lady looks at it and is considered strong, how can a cold be unbearable."

Of course, Xiaomo Niangzi is not Mo Ying Niang, her name is Merica, and she is the Aztec girl who was brought back by Zhou Xiaoqi, and was left in the palace by Chen Dexing to be responsible for making chocolate drinks. However, some time ago, I had a cold, and I was very sick and a little dying.

In addition, two-thirds of the Indians who came from Mingzhou with her have now fallen ill, and a few of them have died of illness! The Dinghai Town Guard of the Ming Navy once thought that there was a plague in the barracks and issued an "epidemic prevention order", but in the end it was found that all the people who fell ill were Indians, and it was not a serious illness, it was a cold - in fact, it was an influenza. Fortunately, these Indian Eight Bannermen lived in the barracks and had not been exposed to the smallpox virus, otherwise these Indians would have died by now!

Chen Huaiqing also knew the news that the Indians had fallen ill in large numbers, and now that he heard that Xiaomo Niangzi was also sick, he frowned slightly and said: "As the saying goes, one side of the water and soil raises one side, and the people of Mingzhou are not satisfied with the water and soil of China, if the people of China travel thousands of miles, I am afraid that they will also fall ill......

Chen Dexing raised his eyes and glanced at Chen Huaiqing, the old man's face was worried, I don't know if he was worried about dying of some disease in India...... The old man is having a good time now, how can he be willing to die early?

Chen Dexing only shook his head slightly, and said: "There is water and soil, but it is not a person with water and soil...... These Indians are sick with us because we have no sickness with them. If these diseases spread to Mingzhou, the Indians of Mingzhou would also fall ill or even die in large numbers! ”

He took another sip of chocolate tea and said in a calm tone, "So we can't rush to immigrate, we have to be cautious, first find out what diseases on the ground of others we don't have here, how to treat them, how to prevent diseases, and then we can send people out on a large scale." ”

He didn't say half of it, but this was the disease...... It is also a tool of the Ming Empire to conquer the world! (To be continued......)
