488. Food shortage?
As Li Pei said, the next thing was a gorgeous armed parade, and the wind descended along the road and the prefecture.
At this time, three days have passed since Yuan Kaisheng's defeat, and the immortal boat of creation sailed to Yuezhou.
This is also the last giant state city on this trip.
The big men in the city had already received news. Ye Mingchen, the governor of Yuezhou, organized a massive welcome team.
In addition to officials above the sixth rank in the entire region, there are also representatives of aristocratic sects, as well as lower-class gentry and wealthy merchants, a total of more than 10,000 people.
In the distance, there were countless ordinary people who came spontaneously, wanting to see the charm of the fairy boat.
Everyone was in the morning with the wet and cold wind, and waited for most of the day without any complaints.
Until someone with sharp eyes shouted, "Here you come!"
I saw a giant floating battleship approaching quickly and coming!
Even if everyone was prepared, they still looked scared. Then they quickly calmed down and tidied up their instruments to avoid making the noble people unhappy.
After a while, the immortal boat of Creation hovers steadily, and 500 "mecha warriors" jumped off the first.
They quickly set up their formation and transformed from hideous steel creatures into a neat guard of honor.
The mecha warriors also wore temporary cloaks. The bright red color fluttered vigorously, adding a little more mighty, offsetting the hideousness of the human-shaped tanks.
But there was a commotion in the reception team. They knew very well how dangerous these steel creatures were!
Especially the heavy mechas that can only be controlled by blood exchange, which makes people frightened. The diamond-shaped bulletproof glass on its eyes and the protective buffer structure at the joints have a "technology sense" that is both strange and novel.
Just as everyone was amazed, Li Pei rode the spirit falcon and slowly fell down gracefully, followed by Yu Yanmei, who acted as a guard.
"My dear Ye Mingchen, please see Your Majesty!"
The magistrate kowtowed unambiguously, even though Li Pei had not ascended the throne yet.
Other officials also knelt down one after another, and for a moment, a large number of them fell to their knees: "We will pay homage to Your Majesty!"
"No need to be polite, just keep your body flat."
At this moment, Li Pei was so dignified that he had a royal demeanor, which made people dare not look at him.
She was already very familiar with the scene in front of her.
Whenever the immortal boat of creation arrives at a place, officials of all sizes must leave the city and bow to the ground to welcome the new emperor.
The strong men from all walks of life are also low and do not dare to speak loudly, and the underworld is even more anxious all day long.
On the contrary, the common people were not under much pressure and looked up at the "Immortal Boat of Creation" with shock.
Some even knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, then folded their hands and prayed.
The people around were not surprised. Instead of begging the mud-worn gods in the temple, it was the reality of the creation of the immortals floating in the air.
Li Pei openly accepted the bowing of everyone, and Yuezhou was also in his pocket. At this point, there was no clear resistance from all over the country.
Next, you just need to wait for the throne ceremony on January 1 to officially establish the new dynasty.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After everything was over, Lu Yao immediately drove the fairy boat back to the capital.
At this time, there were a few more people on the ship. In addition to Mrs. Xiao, there were also officials and warriors from all over the south.
These are all innocent people and determined to surrender. Li Peixun and they went back to Beijing to attend the throne ceremony three weeks later.
At this moment, these people who rode on the fairy boat for the first time were filled with surprise and shock!
"The people on the ground are smaller than ants!"
"Flying over Hongze Lake, it's so fast!"
"It's so amazing. It turns out that being able to fly is such a wonderful thing!"
Feeling the magnificence of the beautiful scenery at high altitude, and clouds brushing by their side, they pointed and shouted happily.
Some people still want to catch the clouds, but the result is naturally empty.
In contrast to their excitement, the soldiers who went on the ship had seen each other more times in the past few days, but they were still smiling and joking about these "rustic buns".
At this time, several soldiers from Zhenhai Fleet uncovered their faces for easy chat.
Most of these are old acquaintances of Lu Yao, including the Jingyuan ship's pipe tape that he once asked him for massage, Lin Zhongqing, and the Zhiyuan ship's pipe tape tape tape, Deng Baixiang.
There are also the first mates under the two men who help to lead the crew.
These people were originally navy, but at this time they were wearing mechas. They were used as military armor. They were useless in their abilities, so they were really helpless.
In the previous naval battle with Izumo, the Zhenhai Fleet was completely destroyed, and so far no ship can go out to sea.
Deng Boxiang's Zhiyuan ship "sinks with the enemy."
At this moment, he looked at the sunset in the sky and said with hope: "I hope that Lu Zhenjun can allocate funds to reorganize the navy as soon as possible."
Lin Zhongqing also echoed: "The new dynasty and new atmosphere, I believe that the true master of Lu will be a person who can do something, and I will soon rebuild the navy."
"But just winning money is not enough, we don't have the ability to repair warships."
"Gard is sanctioned and Volken Shipyard is about to be dissolved. Maybe you can contact us."
...
Just as the two were imagining with hope, Chen Jinkui, the "help" of the Zhiyuan ship, looked left and right, as if he was confused.
"For some reason, Xianzhou always gives me a particularly familiar feeling."
After watching for a while, he became more suspicious.
He simply crawled out of the armor, squatted on the ground and touched it, and said to his colleagues:
"It's really similar to the Zhiyuan ship. Some places are completely amplified in proportion..."
Deng Baixiang sighed and said, "I think you are crazy about ships and everything you see looks like."
Others also spoke one after another: "That's right, the fairy boat is more than 10 times larger than your small broken boat."
"This is obviously an antique immortal artifact. How did you come to this conclusion~"
...
Everyone teased and didn't care much, thinking that Chen Jinkui missed the warship.
Little do they know that the "Immortal Boat of Creation" was originally based on the Zhiyuan ship of Blue Star, which gathered the faith and vows of the people of Xia Kingdom, which is indeed somewhat similar.
Chen Jinkui's position needs to report the status of the entire ship to the captain at any time, and he is very familiar with it inside and out, so he has doubts.
However, after being scolded by his colleagues, he laughed and ignored it, and only hoped that the Xin Dynasty would quickly reorganize the fleet.
As the saying goes, "If the sea has power, the country will prosper." These elite-educated navies know the importance of the sea!
~~~~~~~~~~~
At this time, Lu Yao had just finished his practice today and was amused when he was looking at the "Golden Dragon of Vows" that turned into a small snake.
This is the first time I have tired it like this.
The immortal boat of creation consumed terrible consumption. Lu Yao drew all the power of the "Stone Lion" and used the dragon pattern mirror to supplement it, so he could at least maintain it.
But it is precisely because of the shocking deterrence of floating warships that this trip was so smooth, and the dynasty was changed with minimal losses.
But there are still some hidden dangers.
At this moment, Li Pei used the "Essential Technique of Dynamic and Dragon Subduing" to help the husband massage, and at the same time was worried:
"The more remote the area is, the more lawless it is. The entire state capital actually grows opium.
I was planning to get some food from the south, but it seems that they have no surplus food..."
The northern region was invaded by the coalition forces of the great powers, and food was not collected, and wealthy families even secretly controlled the food prices.
The shortage of food is imminent!
Lu Yao lay there enjoying his wife's service and said calmly: "I will leave for a few days after returning to the capital, and I will come back with food at that time."
Li Pei opened his mouth and wanted to speak but stopped. The entire northern region was short of food, and the need was astronomical.
In the past, the husband only got one million kilograms of grain, but the drop in the bucket of water was not very useful.
While thinking, Li Pei was suddenly pressed on the bed with a big hand, and the button on his chest was torn apart.
Lu Yao smiled and said, "I can't believe me if my husband and wife are old? Come on, let me experience the empress's broad mind~"
When the husband was intrigued, Li Pei could only let go of his thoughts and cater to him with all his strength.
Not long after, I forgot my worries and my soul flew out of the sky.
When she woke up, the fairy boat had already returned to the capital.
Chapter completed!
