The Chinese New Year's Eve of the second year of Ankang has finally arrived.

Families from all over the world, each gathered to eat the last meal of the year, reflect on the events of the year, and discuss the possibilities for the next year.

Zhu Jingyuan took his two concubines and accompanied his grandparents to eat together, and by the way, he determined the final question.

"If I am in charge of the whole of Yinzhou, should I be stationed in Cuba or Panama?"

Zhu Zhongliang immediately glared at Zhu Jingyuan:

"Those places are still unstable, you don't want to risk yourself, so just follow me to New Tianfu City."

Zhu Jingyuan tried to lay out the facts and persuade his grandfather reasonably:

"According to the plan formulated at the beginning, in order to allow me to accumulate grassroots experience, although I will be in charge of the military and political affairs of a certain region during the administrative training, my own job is still that of a grassroots official in a certain locality.

"In the first stage, I was supposed to be a township-level official, but when I was in Liusha City, the Great Food Country, I was actually the chief official of Liusha Town, and Liusha City was nominally a county, but the scale at that time was actually a town.

"In the next stage, I should go to serve as a county-level official, and the new Tianfu City is at least at the level of the prefecture city, and it can even be regarded as a companion capital."

Zhu Zhongliang said as a matter of course:

"Then you will go to the subordinate Guo County of New Tianfu City to be the county commander.

"There are ready-made palaces and palaces in the New Tianfu City, which can be used directly.

"If you go to places like Cuba and Panama, you can only live in the castle left by Xiyi."

Zhu Jingyuan suddenly thought of a sentence:

"Attached to the county order of Guo County, as the saying goes, three lives are unfortunate, and the county is attached to Guo; Three lives do evil, attached to the provincial city of Guo; Full of evil, attached to Guo Jingcheng......"

Zhu Zhongliang couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this:

"What kind of bastard are you, the dislike of ordinary officials is attached to the county order of Guo County, because he doesn't like to have a bigger official on his head to press him at any time.

"When you kid was in charge of the attached Guo County of the New Heavenly Mansion, you yourself were also the governor of the entire New Heavenly Mansion, who could still suppress you?

"Actually, your position is reversed, you are the governor of Yinzhou and the county commander of Guo County attached to Xintianfu."

Zhu Jingyuan thought for a while:

"Like...... That's true, but someone did hold me down...... You are! ”

Zhu Zhongliang immediately said angrily:

"That's, who made me your own father, I can press you wherever you go!"

Daming Jingshi, Emperor Zhu Jianyan, chatted with his queen and imperial concubine before the royal family banquet began.

Zhu Jianyan said with emotion and helplessness:

"Father is not coming back today, and he is going to celebrate the New Year with Jingyuan in Mengxian County."

The queen sighed and said:

"I may not come back next year, saying that I will go directly to Xintianfu for the elderly."

Zhu Jianyan followed up and praised:

"Xintianfu is indeed suitable for retirement, and when I retire, I will also go to Xintianfu for the elderly."

Imperial Concubine Liang Yunying said with a smile:

"Your Majesty, you've only been on the throne for two years, why are you thinking about retiring......"

Zhu Jianyan immediately said:

"That kid in Jingyuan is only seventeen years old, and now he is starting to plan a place for retirement......

Liang Yunying was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that his son had indeed planned a place to retire.

Hao Zhongyi, director of the knitting workshop of Mengxian Textile Factory, brought a large family together to discuss the next thing.

Hao Zhongyi's wife Wang Shi was quite puzzled and said:

"Master, do we really want to go to Xintianfu with Lin Da Shopkeeper during the New Year?"

Hao Zhongyi took a sip of wine and said quite proudly:

"I promised Lin Da to be the shopkeeper, and I was given a salary increase, so it's impossible not to go."

Hao Zhongyi's cousin was a little worried:

"Brother Zhongyi, you went to Xintianfu, what should we do brothers?"

Hao Zhongyi smiled and reassured:

"I went to Xintianfu to be promoted, and I didn't quit, and I didn't say that I wouldn't come back, everyone would bully you.

"Besides, as long as you work hard and don't stir up trouble, what can you worry about?

"Even if I'm here, if you commit something yourself, you will be punished.

"So you don't have to think about it, just do what you should do after the New Year."

Then his younger brother Hao Jizhi couldn't help but say:

"Second brother, I also want to go to New Tianfu!"

Hao Zhongyi immediately waved his hand and said:

"Don't think about it, I'm going to build a new factory for the king, what can you do when you go? Do you add to the chaos? Honestly work here, save money, and when the factory is up, I'll see if I can come back here, or find a way to take you there. ”

In the back hall of the New Rome Tea Shop in Mengxian County, Xianglan's family gathered here for a reunion dinner, after all, it was much more spacious than the dormitory.

However, Xianglan was still a little apprehensive, staring at her eldest daughter Aoxue from time to time and asking this and that:

"Aoxue, how did you get the deed, the title deed, and the power of attorney?"

Ao Xue absentmindedly lied casually and said:

"I helped the old lady cross the street, but the old lady was a rich woman and was about to go back to her hometown in Persia, so she left the store for me."

Sister Ling Shuang couldn't help but be curious:

"Sister, is it really okay for our family to live here like this? When did you think that Aunt An would come back? ”

Ao Xue frowned and asked:

"Did we let you come and stay? Aren't you thinking about probability? The old Persian mother whose surname is Ann...... Does the old lady come back or not, what do you care about? ”

Aoxue almost said the old and forcibly changed her words to an old lady.

Xianglan hesitated for a few seconds, and then asked a question again:

"Aoxue, how are you thinking about it, do you want people to be your matchmaker?

"You will be twenty-one after the New Year, and if you don't marry, you will really be old!"

Aoxue was a little annoyed and said loudly:

"I'll say it one last time! Don't tell me about getting married, I'm not going to marry! ”

Xianglan's father couldn't help but reprimand:

"Hey...... You're a twenty-year-old girl, and you still dress so unscrupulously all day long, and no one may be able to take a fancy to you if you find someone to introduce you, if you don't get married, who are you marrying? ”

Ao Xue directly put down the bowl and quickly got up to leave:

"Eat yourselves, I'll go back to my room......"

When I returned to my room, I dragged my shoes and sat on the bed, curling my body and holding my legs in a daze.

Aoxue didn't want to quarrel with her family, so she didn't say anything about driving them away.

After all, she is their daughter, and she can't quarrel with her parents when she is a child.

The point is that they can't understand it either, they simply can't understand themselves.

It is impossible to tell anyone about the work for the king.

The old, I was expecting her to come.

If she comes, she will have an excuse to report to the Great King's Mansion.

Maybe I won't have a chance to meet the king, but I can get a little closer after all......

The continent of Tessie, London, England, and several brothers of the Rothschild family also gathered together to discuss the present and the future.

Nathan Rothschild looked at his younger brother, James Mayer Rothschild, and said:

"According to the news I heard, the price of the 20% elastic yarn of the big food clothing firm will not rise back."

Meyer exclaimed directly:

"How is this possible! Are they going to give up the price of a hundred silver bills?

They could have continued to sell at that price! You can even sell it for a higher price!

"If it were me, I would have sold at least one hundred and sixty silver bills, or even two hundred silver bills!"

Nathan recalls the message he received:

"It is said that they will launch new products, products with a higher proportion of elastic yarn, to replace the price range of 100 silver bills."

Meyer was taken aback:

"This ...... If they really do this, then the goods I brought back will be completely smashed in their hands......"

Nathan immediately said:

"So you sell it quickly, even if you lose money, you have to sell it, the longer you put it, the more you lose.

"In case they continue to produce products with a higher proportion of elastic yarn, they will continue to reduce the price of products with 20% elastic yarn......"

Meyer felt that the whole world was directed at him:

"Why are they doing this, obviously the effect of two percent of elastic yarn is already excellent.

"I don't think even if I continue to increase the ratio, it won't have a good effect......

Nathan warned very seriously:

"In order to make this wave of smugglers, including you, lose all their money!

"Anyway, the cost of this kind of thing will definitely not exceed three silver banknotes, even if the proportion of elastic yarn is increased to three percent, the cost price will not exceed four silver banknotes.

"But you can smash your goods.

"So you give up and honestly run the Tianzhu slave trade, although it is troublesome, you can make money steadily and continuously."

Meyer said in a loud voice:

"No, I can't give up, Emperor Daming Renwu said that where you fall, you can get up.

"They updated the product formula, and I can continue to smuggle new goods as well.

"I've found a safe way to hide my goods, and I'll go back in the New Year!"

Nathan was a little desperate:

"You...... Why are you so stubborn, you kid! You're going to lose all your money! ”

The West Xianbei Principality, the Xianbei Kingdom Gong Luo Yashan's family also gathered together.

Luo Yashan poured himself a glass of wine, looked around with emotion and said:

"The Lucians were finally all sent away, the situation in the country finally stabilized, and development was on the right track.

"Starting from next year, our Xianbei Principality, we can finally live a stable life."

His wife Zhao Xinlian said with a heart:

"Those guys are crazy people, they don't care about other people's feelings at all, and think that everyone who wears Ming clothes is guilty.

"There is even instigation for you to rebel, what is the difference between that and looking for death......

Luo Yashan drank the wine in the cup:

"Hey...... It was all done to fight the Ming Dynasty, so that those civilians felt that they were the masters of the country.

"I want to fight for my country, but I'm just being used as cannon fodder by my father......

"As a result, the emperor abandoned them, and they broke down and went crazy......"

Zhao Xinlian is not very interested in this kind of topic:

"I don't know how Feiya has been doing in the past two years......

Luo Yashan immediately laughed:

"It's definitely better than us, His Royal Highness Prince Dashi is the second richest person in the world.

"We all looked away at the beginning, that place in Quicksand City is really floating on the golden sea.

"It's not just the oil itself that can make money, but the clothes made of elastic silk are really more expensive than gold.

"The key is that all kinds of information show that this highness treats his subordinates the most.

"In the photo Fei Ya sent last time, she was still wearing clothes designed by His Royal Highness himself."

Zhao Xinlian knew what her husband was talking about:

"Why do Tessie men like to wear tight pants and close-fitting stockings so much? Doesn't it feel awkward? ”

Luo Yashan was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile:

In fact, you can think about it the other way around, why do Ming people like wide robes and big sleeves so much? Doesn't it feel awkward?

"It's just a difference in traditional customs.

"But there is a flaw in this habit of the Taixi people, which has been made up by His Royal Highness the Prince of Great Food.

So they all willingly sent money to the palace of the Great Food Prince.

"Including my stupid brothers...... And maybe the sisters......"

Lucia's capital, Moscow, the Kremlin, and the family feast of Emperor Lucia are also underway.

Emperor Paul, who had abdicated, sat at the top with the new emperor Nicholas I.

Nicholas I, also known as Prince Nicholas, spent a year in the colony of Novolucia in the middle of the continent, and just returned to Moscow this year to succeed his father as Emperor Lucia.

Because of his infinite yearning for the sunny coast, he often runs around in the wild and on the beach, and as a result, his face is red from the sun.

Nikolai now wears a new Ming style formal suit suitable for the northern region, a slim-fitting shirt, a long cashmere trench coat, a cashmere pleated skirt, high-heeled leather boots, and pantyhose.

Nikolai looked at the roaring fireplace fire not far away, the heating pipes and radiators surrounding the entire palace, and felt the temperature around him about less than 20 degrees, and he couldn't help but think back to life in Mozhou:

"Why don't we move the capital to Novolucia, we have officially named the capital of St. Petersburg, with warm sunny beaches and a summer climate all year round, which is the promised land of our Lucia!"

Nikolai's wife, brothers, sons, and nephews were all moved when they heard these words.

The warm coastline, sandy beaches in the sun, has a fatal attraction for the Lucians.

Emperor Paul immediately coughed heavily:

"Don't mess around! Moscow is the heart of Lucia and always will be, and St. Petersburg can serve as a vice-capital. ”

Nikolai immediately said:

"Father is right, then St. Petersburg will be the capital of the Lucian Empire! As Emperor Lucia, I should be stationed in the capital for six months a year! ”

Paul felt like he had been trapped:

"You-"

Nikolai immediately said:

"Father and emperor can go together and go to the warm Mozhou to retire."

Paul couldn't help but sigh:

"Okay."

North Yinzhou, Dongyi State, Wei County.

Erica, a Taixi girl from Dongyi Kingdom, finally hooked up Li Qingsong, the head of the flag, to bed after a year of unremitting efforts.

】

The two of them were in Erica's house, on the bed in her own room, and they got carried away.

After the clouds and rain fell, Li Qingsong stopped Erica's waist and counted her down quite annoyed:

"You, a Xiyi woman, are really too sassy, and after all, I made a big mistake......"

Erica is exceptionally physically and mentally satisfied, and completely takes Sao's description as a compliment:

"And then? What do you want to do with me now? ”

Li Qingsong sighed leisurely:

"Although you are a good family and a yellow flower girl, I already have a wife.

"If you are willing to be my concubine, after the county government is over, go and register the marriage certificate.

"Then take a leave of absence to see my wife, she should be able to accept you, after all, your body has been given to me......"

Erica hugged Li Qingsong's waist hard, raised her head and kissed him on the face:

"Of course I do, I know that you will not be irresponsible, so I ...... Hey hey ......"

Li Qingsong sighed helplessly again.
