Dingyuan County is located at the mouth of the Yongjiang River.

This is the seat of Mingzhou's government offices such as the Yinghai Division, the Southeast Transshipment Envoy Division, the Southeast Inspection Envoy Division, and the Mingzhou Wei selected by Zhu Yuan, not the Mingzhou capital city that is still fifty or sixty miles away from the sea.

Zhu Yuan chose so, and the Navy Governor's Mansion was naturally located in Dinghai.

In the evening, the flotilla finally came to shore.

Even though there has been a lot of noise in the southeast recently because of a series of edicts issued by His Majesty the Emperor, there are still many people who gather by the Yongjiang River to watch the excitement.

Dingyuan County is really lively these days.

First, more than 2,000 officers and soldiers of Mingzhou Wei moved from Fucheng to Dinghai, and then some maritime merchant ships were said to have diverted from Taicang and anchored in the port outside the south gate.

Moreover, outside the West Gate, the officers and soldiers of the Mingzhou Guard, who had just moved in, together with thousands of people, worked day and night to repair the port and clear the dredging.

At this moment, seeing the huge ship moored at the wharf in the west of the city from afar, the people finally understood why the good port still needs to be rebuilt.

If it is not repaired, how can such a huge ship dock?

Labor and money!

Such an exclamation appeared in the crowd of people who were blocked by the officers and soldiers of the platoon guards, and then it sparked discussions.

It is said that there is a big mansion in the south of the city, which originally belonged to a maritime merchant who was attached to the Fang family, and was taken over by another salt merchant surnamed Fu the day before yesterday, which seemed to be used to receive the big officials.

The big official is delicate.

Mo said that it was already spring, that is, winter, and the eldest lord of Xue Zhi County, who had just taken office a year ago, had not heard of burning any earth dragons.

Speaking of Xue Zhixian, the topic was brought up again.

His Majesty the Emperor sent a decree asking the fishermen to make a book. This is not a big deal, but this time, Mo said that it was a woman, and a child who had reached the age of eight had to be registered in the record, what was this to do? For thousands of years, it has always been a man who has reached the age of sixteen to be counted as a Ding, who has ever heard that even an eight-year-old child will not be spared?

And then there is Xue Zhi County.

The county government released his words, but he still only made a man who had reached the age of sixteen, and he didn't care about anything else.

What a man!

However, everyone is also afraid, and repeatedly, Fang Guozhen defended eastern Zhejiang to arrest Ding, Fang Guozhen was defeated, and the Western Wu Southern Expedition was to arrest Ding, only in this Mingzhou Mansion, tens of thousands of people were forcibly taken to Fujian by soldiers or military service at the moment, and I don't know how many people can come back alive.

This time, an eight-year-old!

Even if they knew that Xue Zhixian was a good official, a large number of fishermen heard the news and fled to the outer islands overnight with their families in tow, so that this Dahun Port, which was originally a port where fishing boats came and went, suddenly became much depressed.

As he spoke, a commotion came.

His eyes turned from the big and small officials who were entertaining to the gangplank of the giant boat, and the eyes of men, women and children around him were all bright.

Ooh!

Ladies and gentlemen.

Even if they are wearing cloaks and hats, just looking at the gait and the figure, it can make people think a little. There was also a sudden whispering that a woman was helped by her mother-in-law to board the carriage when she saw the small feet flashing under the skirt.

That's small!

It's a pity that the scenery is only short-lived, and the ladies and daughters who came out of the city in the big group of people just stepped off the gangplank and were helped into the carriage.

Then there was a shoulder hug and carefully sent down by more people, and the four women who were covered by the same hat next to the shoulder were also protected, but unfortunately there were many people around this time, and the block was too tight, and it seemed that a little boy on the shoulder was sent to a large sedan chair, and even the four women followed in, everyone suddenly lost interest, and turned to a group of officials who were still entertaining on the shore.

There are no regrets in my heart.

In addition to regret, he sighed, what kind of dog official, with so many female dependents on business, what can he do?

I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of bed.

On the other side, everyone's eyes refocused.

Hua Gao saw that Zhu Yuan was put on a sedan chair and went all the way to the city gate, so he retracted his concern.

I had seen Shen Tong at sea before, Zhu Yuan was sleepy, and was carried to the cabin by the young lady to take a nap, but soon the maid next to him ran over, saying that his little official seemed to be a little feverish again.

hurriedly shouted Dai Sanchun.

Dai Sanchun looked at it and asked, turned to the Huagao people around him, and was not angry, saying that it was due to fatigue. A person who was originally serious still chattered, saying that it was okay to be bumpy on the water for the past few days, and to run around the boat day and night without control, can the already weak body be good?

I didn't prescribe any medicine.

It is said that it is not serious, and it is a three-point poison, and when you get to the shore to rest overnight, you may be fine.

Hua Gao was both self-blaming and scared when he heard it.

That's ...... Be your own son!

Although the two-day voyage was originally extended to four days by him in order to be safe, in the end, he realized that he still didn't do a good job, after all, subconsciously he really didn't think that the good-looking Xiucai Gong just walked around the ship at night and looked at the stars or something, what was the matter.

It turned out to be really tight.

In short, after landing on the shore, seeing a group of officials up and down the Mingzhou Mansion, it was impossible for Zhu Yuan to show up, so he could only come alone.

In the face of the inquiries of more than a dozen officials in Mingzhou, such as Tao Qian, the prefect of Mingzhou, the commander of Mingzhou Wei, and Xue Shu, the magistrate of Dinghai, Hua Gao could only say that Zhu Hanlin was unwell, and he would see him tomorrow.

Faux pas?

A faux pas is a faux pas.

As for how the crowd reacted, I didn't have the heart to think about it.

After Zhu Yuan got into the sedan chair, Hua Gao withdrew his gaze, and saw that some keen officials also turned their attention together, so he signaled to Zhao Xu, who was waiting on the side, and asked for a saber.

The Pu knife used by His Majesty the Emperor.

This was explained by Zhu Yuan before he got off the boat, and he couldn't show his face, so he let this knife show up.

Huagao understands.

Get off the horse.

Of course cooperate.

Waiting for Zhao Xu to show the saber that was carefully packed in the box, he held it high, Hua Gao shouted, and took the initiative to kneel down first.

When the officials understood this, they immediately knelt down as well.

Immediately, from the inside out, the officers and soldiers, and the people ...... Even if they didn't know what was going on, they knelt down one after another.

Then Liu Lian appeared.

Liu Lian didn't want to do this very much, but since it was solemnly ordered by Zhu Yuan and above, thinking about the changing perception of that little adult in just these days, Liu Lian could only obey orders.

took out the emperor's edict appointing Zhu Yuan as the envoy of the southeast, stiffened his face, and began to read aloud: "The edict of the emperor of Fengtian Carrier said: The establishment of the Yinghai Division is a century-old plan, and the matter of the southeast shipping is related to the success or failure of the Northern Expedition. Officials in the southeastern prefectures and counties must cooperate in their actions, and if there are those who do not obey the order, they will be cut down, if there are those who violate the law, they will be cut down, and if there are those who bend the law for personal gain, they will also be cut down. Chin this. ”

After reading a holy decree in such a mechanical tone, Liu Lian felt the strange quiet atmosphere around him, and he couldn't wait to turn around and jump into the Yongjiang River to hide himself.

Don't want to see people.

It's a shame.

Don't say those vernaculars, open and close your mouth is 'cut me', is this what an emperor should say?

Liu Lian understands that this is Lao Zhu's handwriting.

On the contrary, the official edicts that seemed to be neat and catchy were the result of revisions and polishing by His Majesty's courtiers around the Emperor.
