Huaxia Empire, Tianjing.

The warm winter sun shines on the city covered with snow. The sanitation workers on the avenue were cold and wearing gloves were busy clearing the snow. The salaries of sanitation workers were extremely high, and they were no different from other professions. People around them who had been familiar with them came forward to help because the snow removal work is heavy today, and it was okay to clean up slowly in the past, but I received the news that His Majesty the Emperor would return to China today after leaving the empire for half a year, and the people were willing to welcome His Majesty home with a clean and tidy city.

Tianjing, which has a population of more than 600,000, has become hustle and bustle with the rising sun. The cold weather cannot extinguish the heat in the hearts of the people.

Yun Yi returned to the palace while greeting the people.

"Have you told me not to care too much about such a false politeness?"

To comfort the big tiger and little tiger who had disappeared in the second half of the year and was overly excited, Yun Yi said to Li Mu a little dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty, it is a courtesy for officials to come to welcome you. Our staff have already specifically told the people not to deliberately welcome you. They all go spontaneously and have nothing to do with us. I think this is a good thing, which means that the people love their Majesty."

"I won't be an example. I am very satisfied with your work results recently, especially the officials at all levels responsible for immigration tasks. Now the empire has a population of nearly 20 million, and they are now busy preparing New Year's goods for the New Year. Your rewards must be counted and paid according to the credit. Those who have not made special contributions will also receive a few more months of salary as a reward."

Yun Yi, who is always paying attention to the entire empire, knowing the current living conditions of the people, and the control center can be enlarged to observe everyone.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"We have occupied Yingzhou on the way back. I will come back in advance if I have an urgent need. The subsequent development and immigration tasks will be handed over to your Government Affairs Department. However, the focus of immigration is still on the North American continent. If the number of people in Yingzhou is small, the Ministry of National Defense will transfer resources and personnel to build a standard fleet, stationed in Yingzhou, named it the First Fleet of Oceania, and all departments will do a good job in various logistics."

Defense Minister Kong Fanlin stood up to receive the order.

"How did commercial trade develop after signing peace treaties with European countries? On the way back, I saw that there were many foreign merchant ships at Tianjing Port."

Minister of Finance Zhang Yun stood up and replied: "Your Majesty, in the past six months, other small European countries have signed friendly treaties with us. The major ports in the eastern part of the empire have been blocked by their merchant ships. Because Tianjing Port is on the western coast, it is too far from the European continent, only a few merchant ships have come. At present, the development of commercial trade is developing rapidly, the number of merchants among the empire has increased significantly, the commercial tax has increased significantly, and the development achievements of civil industry are also very gratifying. They are all blessings for rapid trade development. The detailed report will be presented to Your Majesty for the imperial view before the New Year."

When it comes to development, everyone has an excitement.

"Your Majesty, many small European countries are currently seeking to purchase weapons and equipment. What will we do to reply?"

Li Mu stood up again to report.

"It will not be opened for the time being. When they are about to popularize flintlock guns, we will sell weapons and equipment with shorter ranges. We will tell all major state-owned or private factories that technology must be kept first and that technology must be kept first and that the traditional crafts belonging to the Han nationality will not be allowed to be spread. We have suffered a lot of losses on this. We cannot make the same mistake again. Foreign tea, porcelain and silk have all appeared competitors that compete with us."

Yun Yi demanded harshly.

"As for your order, your majesty," all the officials present stood up and assured.

Xinhai City, Daohua Town, has little impact on the small town located in the southernmost part of North America in winter, but it is just a little cool.

The town is no longer the initial township with only a few hundred people, and nearly 8,000 residents stuffed the town.

On East Street, it has been nearly a year since Old Man Wang and his family immigrated. He changed into the clothes bought by his wife and changed into the cotton coats sent by the government. Old Man Wang, with a rosy face, looked at the rice, wheat, and various dried fruits and vegetables in the warehouse. There were five large fat pigs, twenty sheep, one cow, and a strong horse. There were a simple carriage in the corner of the wall, and a bacon hanging in the yard with the sun. He felt so beautiful that he felt so beautiful that Old Man Liu squatted at the door and "hehe" and laughed secretly.

"What are you having fun there? Hurry up and drive out the carriage and go to Xinhai City Market to ask about the price of fat pigs and sheep. This year, I will sell four pigs and fifteen sheep. I will kill a pig and one sheep at home during the Chinese New Year. The income from selling grain alone is not enough." Aunt Wang suddenly said something to interrupt Old Man Wang's beauty.

"I'll just go inquiry about the price, no need to drive."

Old Man Wang, who thought his wife felt sorry for her, generously refused.

"My daughter-in-law and I are going to go, and the family grows and raises them. Now we have a wealth of life. I heard that seafood in the market is very cheap and there are still dry goods. Buy some for my grandchildren to try it out, and buy a few more pieces of cloth to make new clothes for everyone. Don't be so beautiful all day long. If you are comparing with Meng Laosan, his family's four strong laborers planted 200 acres of land, and the silver coins sold for grain became rich."

"You woman, 200 acres, do you want the lives of the three of us? I am not afraid of hard work. After all, you and your daughter-in-law are women, can you compare with the young and strong man?" Old man Wang was a little angry.

"What are you saying? The Empire now advocates equality between men and women, and women are equal to half the sky. Do you dare to say what the government is saying is wrong?"

Aunt Wang stared at her big eyes and taught him a lesson whenever Old Man Wang answered something wrong, and thought he was an advanced element all day long.

"What are you talking nonsense? When will I say that the government is wrong? If you don't tell you, there will be many fallacies."

"Old man Wang, why are you arguing? Do you want to go into the city?"

The screams of Old Man Liu next door interrupted Aunt Wang who wanted to teach his old man a lesson again, and seemed to be unfulfilled.

"Go, our family will go and prepare some New Year's goods."

"Then let's go together, we'll all go, and the market in Xinhai City is full of New Year's goods."

The grandchildren, who were studying homework at home, ran out cheerfully and climbed onto the carriage driven by Old Man Wang at his dressed up.

"Grandpa, when I go to the city, I want to eat osmanthus cake and milk candy."

"Oh, slow down," he hurriedly helped the two treasures into the carriage and replied: "Okay, okay, there are all today. You can eat whatever you want, but you must study hard and become a high-ranking official in the future."

"I know grandpa, we will definitely come back next time with the top two."

"So good, let's go, go."

On the straight road, carriages filled with family were running towards the rising sun, towards the hopeful future, leaving behind laughter along the way.
