Chapter 31: King Auspicious Returns to Auspicious
In order to encourage going to sea and recruit more excellent sailors, several major newspapers began to bomb in turn.
On the 28th, Wang Xuan's fleet finally arrived at Xingyao Bay.
At the entrance, the internal guard escorted him to the east bank battery in a small boat, and then took a military carriage along Hexi Avenue through Jijian Bridge into Jixiang City.
After entering the Xiangyuan, Wang Xuan got out of the carriage and walked home on foot.
The dawn had already broken, and Jing'er's crying suddenly came, and Wang Xuan's figure suddenly slammed into the courtyard when he heard the sound, and then he walked into the courtyard with a steady step.
Guards appeared around to salute Wang Xuan, Wang Xuan nodded, and they disappeared into the darkness again.
"You can go back too, if it's okay, I'll mention it to my eldest sister." ”
Wang Xuan is talking about proposing marriage to Yang Tao, the woman is Liu Liu's sister, and she is still single.
Although this girl has some vision, Yang Tao can still lower her, which is a good match.
"Your Majesty......"
Wang Xuan ignored Yang Tao, pushed open the door alone, and went up the stairs to the second floor.
In the second room on the right, you will walk through the living room to the bedroom, where the child's crying is replaced by a 'clucking' laugh.
Wang Xuan pushed open the door and stood at the door.
Qing'er, who was playing with her daughter, was very forgetful and didn't care who came in at all.
"I'll take care of the child, you go to sleep again, last night tossed until the second half of the night, I don't know where this girl got so much interest. ”
Qing'er played with Wang Jing by herself, and said this casually.
Wang Xuan knew that he was treating himself as a wet nurse.
"Qing'er ......"
The young woman was dressed in white light gauze pajamas, her long hair was naturally scattered behind her, and her beautiful side face was like a beautiful jade.
A call broke the subtle tranquility in the room, Xiao Wang Jing forgot to babble, and stared at the door in a daze with big eyes.
Wang Xuan saw the little lovely child, and an unspeakable feeling surged in his heart, it was the call of blood, the flesh and blood that broke the bones and connected the tendons.
When Qing'er turned around, two tear stains were sliding down her cheeks, one fell down the open placket, and the other slipped on her white and tender little hands.
Maybe the room was too quiet, maybe the tears were getting cold, Xiao Wang Jing stared at his left hand and cried.
Qing'er glanced at Wang Xuan out of the corner of her eye when she turned her head, "Jing'er, we're not afraid, we're not afraid." ”
While holding the child in his arms, he gently shook his upper body, and the red light from the east side hit the tulle through the window, reflecting the perfect curve.
Wang Xuan suddenly felt hunger and thirst in his mouth.
After swallowing his saliva, he walked in with his legs raised.
Wang Jing put her head on her mother's right shoulder, sucked in her fingers that had just been soaked in tears, and opened her two dark eyes again to look at the stranger in front of her.
Qing'er could feel his approach, when the warm breath poured into the back of her neck, a pair of powerful big hands connected Xiao Wang Jing and hugged her into her arms, she could even clearly sense the strong heartbeat of the man behind her, one, two, three, the frequency of the beat was getting faster and faster.
Her cheeks flushed.
"Babble~"
Xiao Wang Jing looked at the dark face close at hand, and began to protest for a while.
"Look at your face, can you still see it, no wonder the child doesn't recognize you. ”
After Qing'er finished speaking, she beckoned the nurse to go out with the child.
In the bathroom, Wang Xuan lay quietly in the bathtub, letting a pair of jade hands roam on his back without realizing it, and after a while, a slight snoring sound sounded.
After putting out the water, cleaning his body and putting on pajamas, Qing'er called the internal guard, "Light, don't wake him up." ”
It took a lot of effort for the two internal guards to transfer Wang Xuan to the soft big bed, and after a salute, they turned to leave.
Qing'er got on the bed, lying quietly on Wang Xuan's side, her right hand passed under his neck, and gently held Wang Xuan's head in her arms, just like hugging Wang Jing on weekdays, her movements were gentle and full of ritual.
The sky was already bright, and the reflection of the floor made the indoor light bright, perhaps because of the dazzling strong light, Wang Xuan, who had slept for two hours, woke up quietly, and turned his head to see Qing'er's sleeping face.
'This man is cheap. ’
Wang Xuan sighed lightly, got up gently, straightened out the thin blanket, and turned around and walked out of the room.
"Your Majesty, all four members of the cabinet are ...... in the courtyard"
Yang Tao didn't rest for long, so he returned to the courtyard and waited, and when he saw Wang Xuan coming out in pajamas, he immediately stepped forward to say something.
Zhang Yun and the four of them, including Liu Na, were all standing in the courtyard, although they looked calm, their eyes were not calm.
Wang Xuan nodded and said softly, "Go to the Government Council." ”
His own internal guard took the coat, and Wang Xuan put it on and walked straight to the Government Council.
The window on the second floor slowly opened, and Qing'er appeared in the window wearing a coat, her eyes did not leave Wang Xuan's left and right, until she lost her figure at the corner.
The distance of 1,000 meters from Xiangyuan to the Government Council has been under martial law, and in order not to affect the passage of personnel, the traffic returned to normal after the group entered the third floor.
"Your Majesty. ”
Wang Yu is here.
"You've come just in time, sit down. ”
There were only six people in the conference room, and the guards retreated to the door, they knew that this was a big event, a big thing was about to happen.
"Let's talk about the situation in the past few days, and the government will talk about it first. Wang Xuandao.
"Your Majesty, the recent construction of Baicao and Chiba Town has been progressing extremely fast, in order to equip enough people, the Government Council has reported to Concubine Shu for approval, and according to the order of contribution points, 20,000 people will be admitted at one time. Zhang Yundao.
"The harem doesn't interfere in politics, so don't talk about concubines in the future. ”
"Yes. Zhang Yun was quite embarrassed.
Today, auspicious people have broken the 3 million mark, including 300,000 aborigines, most of whom are infants, more than 1.2 million new nationals converted from slave status, and about 1.5 million free immigrants and integral immigrants. ”
This ratio is also unique, and the number of free immigrants and integral immigrants actually exceeds the number of people converted from slavery, which is somewhat different from the original plan.
As if seeing Wang Xuan's confusion, Zhang Yun continued: "During this period of time, the manpower is sufficient, and the auspicious development is relatively fast, so there are more eligible new immigrants, so in order not to dissipate their enthusiasm, they will be granted naturalization according to the rules." ”
Wang Xuan still didn't say anything, and the four members of the Government Council were nervous now.
I usually don't feel the pressure from the royal family, and Wang Xuan has been away from Jixiang for half a year, so although everyone is under a lot of pressure during this time, they are still very happy.
At this time, Wang Xuan returned, just sitting there quietly, the invisible pressure made everyone a little unbearable, the usual free and easy has long disappeared, even Wang Yu has maintained the style of a soldier, and his upper body and thighs, thighs and calves have always maintained a ninety-degree posture.
Wang Xuan's majesty can be seen.
"I don't blame you, but the people who come in must be strictly controlled, not to mention Daxia, even Hu Yue and Xizhou are mixed with sand to auspiciousness, don't look at the calm now, there is already an undercurrent surging below. ”
Although Wang Xuan has been away for half a year, his grasp of the current situation is still accurate, and no one is out of control in terms of the overall situation.
"Yes, in addition, the infrastructure construction such as transportation, public carriages, and public toilets is progressing rapidly, and the cement road has reached the village. ”
Speaking of this, everyone laughed.
Although the output of the vehicle factory has decreased recently due to the reduction of steel production, it has not affected the enthusiasm of customers.
Princess Yue ordered ten bicycles in one go, and also funded the mechanics of the Jijian Second Bureau to design a cement avenue along the east bank of the North Xingyao River, from the royal capital to Xingyao Lake.
This is Princess Yue's private money, that is, the share dividends of the firecracker factory, which is nearly 10 million, and she invested it all without blinking an eye.
This made Mochizuki's prestige soar.
"With the injection of foreign capital into the new Song Dynasty, the infrastructure will be accelerated a lot, and it will be opened to the outside world by the middle of next year at the latest. Sun's case on the pedestrian street was pushed by the minister, saying that it would be delayed for a while...... The industrial park in Jianye Town has expanded a lot, and the minister thinks that the reserved land for the green belt and park between the factories in the past is too large, and the land seems to be insufficient......"
Wang Xuan listened carefully to everything, and it was not until noon that the four of them complemented each other to explain the major events of the past six months.
Wang Xuan said: "You can just look at the affairs of government affairs, as long as the direction is right, even if you take some detours, you will eventually reach the end." ”
After a pause, he said: "I support the choice of stevia, so you don't have to be burdened, I said, as long as it is conducive to auspicious development, you can do it boldly, I am not so narrow-minded." ”
Subsequently, Wang Yu talked about the recruitment of troops in the army, including the scale of the inland river fleet, the types and combat capabilities of the newly built warships, and even the purchase of linen and black paint for the Air Force hot air balloons.
By the time I had finished listening to the report, it was already afternoon.
"The army must continue to strengthen its training, our enemies are very strong, much stronger than the military strength of Great Xia, they have artillery, heavy armor, spears and cavalry. ”
As soon as Wang Xuan said this, everyone couldn't help but get nervous when they applied, there were none of these Great Xia.
The artillery is a second-hand product sold by auspiciousness, and the war horse is also a variant of the breed after being introduced from Hu Yue, even if there is a wooden warship, how can it be compared with the people who are experienced in naval warfare and equipped with artillery.
"So, 10,000 people is not enough. We need to borrow troops from the friendly territory of Great Xia, and we need to recruit at least another 20,000. ”
That is 30,000 people, the auspicious defenders can't move, 10,000 auspicious soldiers plus 20,000 mercenaries, after training, they can do something.
Wang Yu knew that Wang Xuan's treasures were all pressed on the air force, and sure enough, Wang Xuan asked: "Can the big ship that goes straight to the deck be built?"
Wang Yu said: "Two ships have been secretly built, and two more are under construction, which can be tested next month." ”
This is a type of aircraft carrier planned by Wang Xuan, which is specially used for transporting, launching and recovering hot air balloons.
The battle plan is simple, use strong power to drive the ship to the enemy's upwind port, release the hot air balloon, use the weak adjustment system to float over the enemy ship, and drop bombs behind the people.
Don't look at the items that can't hold too much, but even small bombs are a piece of cake against wooden ships.
The other carrier cruised downwind and waited for the hot air balloon to land and recover, escorted by a battleship.
Not to mention on land, horse-drawn carriage transportation, even if it is more troublesome to recycle, it can only be disassembled into parts and shipped back.
A few people inside had a meeting, and the people outside had already spread the news of King Jixiang's return.
King Auspicious is back!
