It has been two months since Fanning returned to Beidao, and a lot has happened in these two months, first of all, the envoy of the Son of Heaven arrived in Chu and officially canonized the Chu Kingdom, and Fanning was crowned the king of Chu as the king of Chu in the Great Song Dynasty, and the king was given a golden seal by the Son of Heaven.

The second is that there were some conflicts in his family, and his mother Zhang Sanniang refused to accept Asabel's future marriage into the Fan family and become her son's concubine.

Zhang Sanniang moved to her daughter's house in anger and ignored her son, and finally it was Zhu Pei who persuaded her mother-in-law Zhang Sanniang.

Although Zhu Pei also felt awkward, it was not her age, her husband was only thirty-five years old, and it was normal to marry a concubine in her teens, mainly because of the different races, and it was actually a Western Caucasian woman she had never seen.

But Juppé knew her husband's ambitions, and he wanted to use the marriage to intervene in the West, not just for tobacco and tea, but also to change Western politics.

In the words of his husband, the next 500 years will inevitably be a contest between the two civilizations of the East and the West, so how to suppress the strength of the West, so that the Byzantine civilization will no longer be introduced to the West, so that the West will no longer have a Renaissance, is what he has to do.

Juppe didn't understand this, but she knew her husband's foresight, and marrying this Caucasian girl as a concubine was the most important part of his plan.

It was Jupei who understood this truth, so she first accepted Asabel, and personally taught her tea art and Chinese, taught her music, and transformed her into a qualified daughter-in-law of the Fan family.

Zhu Pei persuaded her mother-in-law Zhang Sanniang at the same time, and at this time, Fan Ning's grandmother Yang died, and the whole country of Chu mourned, including Asabel, who also followed the linen and filial piety, and guarded the spirit for her grandmother, Zhang Sanniang saw this, and the thorn in her heart was finally pulled out, in her opinion, as long as this Western daughter-in-law knows how to be filial, then everything else is not important.

Fanning was so busy with his grandmother that after his grandmother's first seven days of life, he set out to inspect the resettlement of the new immigrants, and went for a whole month before returning.

Immediately after that, Fan began to set up various official offices and supervisory bodies in the North Island, and the Council of Elders was the first body to be established, formulating various rules and exercising some powers, but with the gradual establishment of the three-level military and political official system of the county government, the government office, and the Chu Wangfu, the administrative power of the Council of Elders also disappeared.

But the presbytery itself is a good thing, it is elected by the people of the counties, it represents the will of the people to some extent, it exercises legislative power, and at the same time it exercises the power of supervision, and supervises the military and political institutions.

So far, Fanning is in power, holding the power of military politics and investment, and the highest political official is only the governor of the Chu Dynasty, but this is not the ultimate form of the Chu State.

Fanning decided that in his later period, he would set up the prince of Chu, and the prince of Chu was elected by the people of Chu by one person, one vote, the prince of Chu held the power of government affairs and foreign affairs, and the council of elders held the military power and financial approval power.

And the king of Chu will gradually become a symbol of the kingdom, no longer enjoying real power, only wealth, only in this way, his descendants can rule in the state of Chu for generations.

On this morning, Fanning arrived in the Southern Continent, and Fanning was also the governor of the Southern Continent, mainly to formulate the general direction of the development of the Southern Continent, and he did not interfere in trivial government affairs, and at the same time controlled the 5,000 garrisons of the Southern Continent.

The southern continent has a population of more than 400,000, as well as 100,000 Japanese miners, the population is mainly concentrated in the central and eastern coastal areas and the southeastern coast, and is currently divided into two provinces and ten counties, the central and eastern coasts are called Dingnanfu, with four counties, and the southeast coast is called Zhongnanfu, with six counties.

The southeast part of the South Continent is the best climate in the entire South Continent, the most abundant rainfall, and the most extensive and fertile land, with nearly 300,000 people living here, but there are still millions of square kilometers of fertile land that have not been developed.

It is now March, it is autumn in the southern continent, it is the harvest season of wheat, Fanning came here, mainly as a governor to participate in the sacrifice of the god of grains, and then open the sickle to harvest.

Fanning's ship slowly docked in Zhongnan County, where the prefect and the county commander, as well as the main generals of the garrison, were waiting on the dock.

The prefect of Zhongnan Mansion is Lu Huiqing, he has been the prefect here for three years, and his term of office will expire after another year next year, but it is still a question whether he can be transferred back, he has done a good job in Zhongnan Mansion, and Xiangguo Fubi intends to let him serve another term.

Fan Ning, the county magistrate, also knew that it was Cai Jing, who only took the initiative to apply for transfer this year, and is currently serving as the county magistrate of Zhongnan County.

The general of the garrison was a commander, named Ma Weihong, who commanded 1,000 people, although the population of the southeast coast accounted for the majority, but most of the garrison was in Dingnan Province, because the mines were concentrated there, and 100,000 Japanese laborers were there, and they needed to be guarded by troops.

"See His Royal Highness the King of Chu!" Lu Huiqing stepped forward and bowed.

"Is Governor Lu's health better?" Fanning asked with concern.

Fan Ning came here once in two months, when Lu Huiqing had just learned that he needed to work for another term, and he was so anxious that he fell ill, but Fan Ning persuaded him to work for one more term, his qualifications would be deeper, not necessarily a bad thing, Lu Huiqing slowly figured it out.

"Back to Your Highness, my humble body has fully recovered."

"Well, bring my mother, wife and children as soon as possible, and I can arrange for them to take the best boat, so that the journey will be more comfortable."

"Thank you for Your Highness's concern, I have written home to ask them to pack their bags, and they are expected to leave next month."

"I'll write a letter to the Overseas Economic Strategy and ask them to arrange a boat."

Fan Ning is still very concerned about the lives of his subordinates, and tries to provide them with the best conditions, for example, by him, all officials in the Southern Continent have official residences, even if they are government officials, they also provide dormitories, and the standards are one to three times higher than the regulations of the imperial court, for example, the imperial court stipulates that county officials live in three acres of houses, and the Southern Continent is ten acres of official residences, and Lu Huiqing's prefect, the official mansions are twenty acres, and all kinds of pavilions and pavilions are available.

As for the Yulu is stipulated by the imperial court and cannot be changed, but the various local subsidies are five times that of the Yulu, and all kinds of benefits are complete, meat, rice, charcoal, cotton, and ice are constantly in the four seasons, and the travel is also equipped with carriages and horses.

Fan Ning greeted Cai Jing and Ma Weihong again, and then took the carriage to the governor's mansion.

………..

Fan Ning only stayed in the Southern Continent for five days before he hurried back to the Chu State, and the reason why he was so anxious was because there was a major ceremony in the Chu State that needed him to preside.

At this time, the Jiangnan Great Plain in the north of Chucheng was already crowded with people.

Chu City is the Wucheng County that was transported, and after the establishment of the Chu Kingdom, it was renamed Chu City, but the people called it Chu Capital.

Hundreds of thousands of people in almost the whole city came out, and in a wilderness in the southeast, a ten-mile-long section of railroad tracks was built, and a train was quietly parked on the temporary platform, the train was dressed in red and green, and there were crowds of people on both sides of the tracks, and more than 2,000 soldiers desperately maintained order and made people retreat to the red line fifty paces away from the tracks.

Fan Zhen'er, Fan Ling'er and Isabel ran on the platform, looking for the best seat, if you follow age, Fan Zhen'er is the oldest, fifteen years old, Fan Ling'er and Isabel are both twelve years old, although they are of different generations, Fan Zhen'er and Fan Ling'er both call her Isabel, they did not reject her, under the guidance of their mother, they get along very well.

In addition, there is a ten-year-old black girl Ruth, she also stayed in the Chu Kingdom, she often went to the street to play, every time she attracted a lot of attention, but after a long time, everyone was not surprised, after all, the little natives on Nuami Island were darker than her.

But Isabel followed the Fan sisters on the street twice, both of which caused a sensation, the golden hair like a waterfall, the skin as white as ice and snow, and the blue eyes as sapphire, it was really amazingly beautiful, but soon everyone knew that she was a princess from the West and would marry His Royal Highness the King of Chu.

At this time, Fanning personally cut the ribbon on the train and announced that the train could move.

"Whew-"

The whistle sounded, the wheels rumbled and turned, slowly picking up speed, moving along the tracks, pulling five carriages behind, and the train was not fast, that is, twenty or thirty kilometers per hour.

People ran along with the train, cheering and jumping, and the platform gradually became less crowded.

Fanning had just boarded the carriage when a figure flashed, and Isabel also boarded the carriage, sat beside him, smiled sweetly at him, hugged his arm, and rested her head on his shoulder.

Fanning patted her hand and commanded, "Go!" ”

The carriage started, getting faster and faster, and chased along the official road towards the train.

。。。。。。。

Postscript:

In the fifth year of King Chu, Fanning married Isabel as a concubine.

In the seventh year of the king of Chu, the fleet of the Chu Chamber of Commerce discovered the Cape of Good Hope, and the fleet went around the Cape of Good Hope to Europe, opening up a new route.

In the eighth year of the king of Chu, under the guidance of Bansai, the king of Chu, Fanning, at the invitation of the Holy Roman Emperor Heinrich IV, visited Europe with Isabel and arrived in Rüdesheim in August of that year.

In the fourteenth year of King Chu, Pham Minh Nhhin led a fleet to discover South America, and three years later, the second voyage discovered North America, and the Song Dynasty set off a great boom in overseas development.

。。。。。。。

Three hundred and fifty years later, the Ottoman Turkish Empire launched the Battle of Istanbul, the Ottoman Turkish Empire was hit by the eastern fire and thunder under the city of Istanbul, killing more than 100,000 people and suffering extremely heavy losses, the Battle of Istanbul failed, and the Ottoman Turkish Empire gave up the attack on the Eastern Luo Empire.

Before this campaign, hundreds of missionaries had fled Byzantium by sea with countless texts, arriving on the island of Crete, which had been purchased by the Chu state of the East for three hundred years, where they were picked up on ships bound for the Far East, where the Kingdom of Italy passed by the texts.

The Renaissance did not take place, and the history of Europe took a turn here.
