"Walk with me!"

The music class, sponsored by the Ministry of Etiquette and hosted by the Department of Education, brought together the best and most popular girls, with slender waists, fairy-like skirts and clothes, and melodious singing voices.

"What a magnificent Ming Dynasty!"

far away.

Outside the pier, there was a roar among the people watching.

Immediately afterwards, the people became excited.

"Long live the Ming Dynasty!"

"The Ming Dynasty is mighty!"

In an instant, the crowd at Longwan Pier was cheering and applauding.

Above the river.

Under the last raised sail.

At the bow of the ship, Zhu Yunxi looked extraordinarily heroic, all dressed up in drag.

Zhu Gaochi stood behind him silently, looking at the fleet of ships that continued to enter Longwan Pier, put down the officers and soldiers, and then slowly sailed out of the terminal.

"It seems very lively."

Zhu Gaochi looked at the smoke spreading in the air on the other side and the crowd of onlookers around the pier with a smile.

"This is a reward."

Zhu Yunxi spoke softly, his face calm.

"Since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Central Plains has always been invaded by nomads. If the country is in turmoil, the nomads will move south and bring chaos. Only when the country is prosperous and accumulated over many generations can we plan the northern expedition.

It goes round and round, like a tarsal worm.

I set off for the Northern Expedition with sharp weapons and great ambitions, but without these soldiers who risked their lives, relying on you and me, would it be possible to clear the grassland?

They defeated the Tatars and cleared the grassland. Today, Yingtian City only cheers for them.

And the deceased will be taken home by his parents."

Zhu Gaochi put away the smile on his face.

After a great victory in the Northern Expedition, it won't take long for the grassland to be completely owned by the Ming Dynasty.

But he couldn't be happy anymore.

The people of the Central Plains spent thousands of years and sacrificed the lives of generations of sons and daughters, and only today did the Ming Dynasty put an end to this worry.

There is nothing to be happy or proud of.

The champion Hou Feng Lang Ju Xu ignited the Central Plains people's ambition to look north.

At present, it is just that ambition that will turn into the freedom of riding horses on the grassland.

"The Ming Dynasty still has a long way to go, and it is not just you and me who can control everything in this world."

Zhu Yunxi spoke again, holding his hands gently on the railing of the ship's bow.

The sea troubles are gone, the south has been conquered, and the country has no shortage of food and grass, as well as gold and silver.

Now, the biggest enemy in the north and the biggest danger in the future have been solved.

Nowadays, in China, the New Deal is also being promoted step by step.

A good sign of prosperity.

But.

But Ming Dynasty still has more things to do.

after all.

The country has become strong, but it does not mean that the people under its rule have also become rich.

Using the power of the country to balance society and make people rich is what Zhu Yunxi has always wanted to do.

now.

The Ming Dynasty is looking around, and it has reached a time when it is no longer invincible.

Next, it is time to reorganize the layout of the Central Plains so that the people who face the loess and back to the sky can truly live a happy life and have no worries about food and clothing.

"You have to do a good job in getting the tax office to accept the reform."

Zhu Yunxi thought for a while, but said without taking his eyes away.

Zhu Gaochi, who was beside him, immediately widened his eyes. He was not angry and dissatisfied that the tax office under his control was going to undergo reforms, and his doubts were only half-doubts.

The little fat face was full of joy.

The tax office needs to be reformed!

Then I don’t have to go to the Yamen every day to work!

Can you just find a place and lie down peacefully?

But the next second.

Zhu Yunxi's voice reached his ears again, shattering all Xiaopang's illusions.

"I should give you an extra burden."

If Yangjiang could understand people's hearts, he would have understood how painful he was in his heart at this moment.

Zhu Gaochi listened to what Zhu Yunxi said and asked loudly in his heart.

If he hadn't been afraid of death, he would have jumped into the river flowing eastward by now.

clang clang clang.

Woo woo woo.

The last warship sailed out from the riverside ferry wharf in Chuzhou Prefecture in the north of the Yangtze River, and finally sailed into the Longwan Wharf under Yingtian City among countless warships anchored on the river.

The people in the teaching department stopped playing music, and those beautiful girls also stopped singing.

On the pier, it suddenly became silent.

Only a few breezes blew on the river that had been flowing eastwards for countless years.

The wind blew the Ming Dynasty dragon flag.

Make a low sound.

Zhu Biao, who was originally sitting on the chair, slowly stood up.

Most of the soldiers from the Northern Expedition who disembarked from the ship drank the wine prepared by the court and were taken into the city, leaving only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses arrayed at the dock.

Along with the treasure ship loaded with the skeletons of fallen soldiers, it docked on the pier.

The soldiers arrayed at the dock immediately turned around in unison.

Ren Hengtai, a former minister of the Ministry of Rites, stood on one side with a solemn expression, raised his head slightly, and shouted loudly.

"The soul is back!"

"The soul returns..."

On the pier, thousands of people shouted in unison.

The hatch slowly opened with a creaking sound and landed on the trestle.

What caught everyone's sight was the warehouse full of silent little boxes.

Rows and rows, rows and rows, like the officers and soldiers arrayed on the pier outside.

"welcome."

Ren Hengtai shouted again.

On the dock, officers and soldiers of the Imperial Guard immediately lined up and walked into the cabin.

Each silent little box was held in the hands of the emperor's own soldiers and slowly walked out of the warship.

At this moment, no one made a sound.

No one will find such waiting boring.

Time is passing by little by little.

Until those more than ten thousand small boxes were welcomed out of the cabin and onto the dock.

Ren Hengtai took another step forward.

"The Emperor's decree: Grant the returning officers and men nine cannons, six ranks of meritorious service officers, Wu Ai school captains, and burials in the mausoleum of meritorious officials. If their heirs join the army, they will be granted the title of chief flag officer for the first time."

Following the loud voice of the chief minister of the cabinet, the 198 artillery pieces on the pier fired nine times.

Zhu Yunxi finally got off the warship.
