Chapter 101: New Year

"It's the New Year, Ruixue Zhaofeng year, and the province will definitely be able to harvest a bumper harvest in the coming year!"

On Chinese New Year's Eve, looking at the goose feather snow falling in the night sky, Su Yan was wearing a mink coat and muttered in a low voice.

This mink coat was sent by Zhu Chenggong's envoy, and it is said that it was purchased by the Zheng maritime merchants from between the white mountains and black waters in the northeast.

Just then, a man in official uniform walked in through the gate, the man had a short goatee and a little snowflake on top of it.

The man walked up to Su Yan, saluted, and said, "Lord, the fireworks have been prepared, and they can be set off in the whole city as soon as the hour arrives." ”

"Okay, I hope this can allow the people of the whole city to experience the joy of the New Year." Su Yan nodded, with a little joy on his face.

"What your lord has done today will surely be remembered and appreciated by the people of the city." The official also said with a smile.

"I don't ask them to be grateful to me, I just want them to have a better life under my rule."

"The Lord is righteous and righteous." The official bowed and said heartily.

"Okay, let's not talk about that." Su Yan waved his hand and said, "Heshan, how is the work of the Political Envoy Office?" ”

Li Chengyi, the word and the mountain, is one of the civil officials rewarded by the system after Su Yan unified Fujian, and Su Yan appointed him as the political envoy - the original political envoy office had two chief officials on the left and right, but Su Yan thought that it was a bit redundant to set up two chief officials, so he abolished the right political envoy, leaving only the left political envoy, and removed the word "left" in the name of the official position.

In addition to Li Chengyi, among the four other civil officials awarded, one was appointed as the Fujian Provincial Inspectorate, and the remaining three were appointed as the prefects of Xinghua, Yanping, and Jianning.

There is also a new reward for a general, whose name is Su Dingyuan, and the system also gives him the identity of Su Yanyuan's relatives, he is a general who is good at commanding infantry, and was sent by Su Yan to Tingzhou Mansion to command 4,000 soldiers and horses to defend the Qing army in Guangdong and Jiangxi.

The two gentlemen were not stuffed into Fuzhou's school by Su Yan, it is worth mentioning that after Su Yan occupied the province, the rules for researching science and technology were also changed, and the academy in the game was canceled, becoming only a gentleman to study, a gentleman can study a technology, and Su Yan can also assign the three gentlemen he currently has to the same research project to shorten the research time.

Therefore, Su Yan sent these two new gentlemen to Quanzhou Mansion to work on improved grenades with He Jiuyun.

There are also two spy officers rewarded, one of whom is also from Jinyiwei, Su Yan will integrate him into Jinyiwei to assist Wang Yuanyong in training spy personnel, and the other is said to be the remnant of the Liaodong border army that does not collect at night, Su Yan listened to his self-introduction, and was a good guy directly, so he handed over two teams of Kalmyk archers to him to form a night squad.

The people who can be selected into the night are the elite of one in a million, horsemanship, archery, fighting, fighting, reconnaissance, hiding, etc., all of which are excellent, which can be called the ancient special forces.

The reason why the Kalmyk archers were trained to stay overnight was because they were all skilled archers, and now there was no place for archers in Su Yan's army for the time being, and their adaptation could just maximize the benefits.

Far from it.

In the face of Su Yan's inquiry, Li Chengyi replied respectfully: "Back to the lord, his subordinates have taken over the political envoy office and deposed the three people who are on the throne, but there are not many available official reserves, and I still hope that the lord can hold imperial examinations throughout the province to select talents." ”

"Not for now." Su Yan shook his head and said, "I am already a minister, and it is suspected of trespassing to open a department without authorization, even if it is held, I am afraid that not many scholars will come to sign up." ”

Although he has become an official of the Ming Dynasty, as a military officer, holding the imperial examination will only attract criticism, and those scholars will not necessarily buy his account, so he can only recommend the way of conquest now, and recruit some literati to help manage government affairs.

When Li Chengyi heard this, he could only shake his head with some regret, and at this moment, the butler's voice interrupted the conversation between the two, and he saw the butler who was nearly half a hundred years old bowing and saluting, and said, "Master, Lord Li, the dinner has been prepared, please move to the dining room." ”

Su Yan nodded, made a gesture of invitation to Li Chengyi, and invited: "He Shan has just arrived, and he has no family, and he will not stay to enjoy the sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve banquet together?" ”

"Since the lord has kindly invited, it is better for his subordinates to be respectful than to obey his orders." Li Chengyi said with a smile, then stretched out his right hand and said, "Lord first, please." ”

The two then came to the dining room, and when they entered the dining room, there were already two people sitting on the seats inside, namely Su Ci, a relative of his own family, and An Daoyuan, the new Fujian envoy.

Seeing Su Yan coming, the two hurriedly got up, and after some politeness, the four of them sat in a circle around the sumptuous delicacies, Su Yan deservedly sat on the main seat, his own relative Su Ci sat on the left hand side, Li Chengyi sat on the right hand side, and An Daoyuan sat near the door, which shows the difference between several people.

At the beginning of the dinner, Su Yan took the lead in raising his glass, looked at the three subordinates at the dinner table, and said with some emotion in his heart: "This is my first New Year after starting the army from Dehua, and it is also the first New Year after the Qing soldiers entered Fujian in the Longwu year.

This is just the beginning, and I believe that in a few years, we will be able to celebrate the New Year in Yingtianfu and even Shuntianfu. ”

Several people nodded, and a clear yearning could be seen on everyone's faces.

Although they were able to come to this world because of the system, the system also filled their memories with an obsession with expelling the Tartars, and in addition to their unquestionable loyalty and obedience to Su Yan, their wish was to drive the Manchus out of the Han family.

"I won't say anything more." Su Yan looked at the expressions of the three of them, smiled slightly, and continued: "In the new year, I still rely on the great help of all the gentlemen, cheers!" ”

"Cheers!"

……

Phew-

Bang!

Bang Bang -

"Mother, watch the fireworks!"

"Grandma and grandma, come out quickly, the government has set off fireworks!"

As soon as the hour passed, the fireworks all over Fuzhou City were ignited together, and bunches of fireworks rose from the ground with a sharp whistling sound, and exploded when they flew into the air, like a glamorous flower blooming in the sky.

The people of the whole city were attracted by the sound of fireworks outside, and they walked out of their homes together, looking up at the fireworks blooming in the night sky, and their eyes reflected the beautiful scene of fireworks blooming, as if there was a little starlight hidden in their eyes.

On the street, the red firecrackers were also lit, and the crackling deafening sound resounded over the whole city, seeing the people of the government taking the lead in setting off fireworks and firecrackers, the people who hid firecrackers at home couldn't help it, and then put the firecrackers in front of the door, lit the fuse, and watched the firecrackers strung up one by one being ignited and detonated, everyone's face was filled with a happy smile.

The city of Fuzhou was drowned by the sound of fireworks, the smoke of gunpowder after ignition, and the joy of the people's New Year.
