The moon on the fifteenth day rose into the sky, without a cloud beside it.
Different from previous years, this year’s Lantern Festival in Qiongzhou Fucheng is very lively, even better than the New Year Festival.
Is this... different from the past?
You can also say that.
So, why?
Because this year, with the support of the prefect's wife Qi Liu, a capital-specific version of the 'Lantern Festival' was launched here and was carried out smoothly.
So, flowers and lights became the theme of tonight.
Of course, this kind of warm flower bush has also become an 'encounter' place for young people who admire and admire Shaoai.
Not only the lanterns, but also the singing opera that has disappeared for many years has reopened to the world, showing its charm and beauty.
Women from the rich circle, headed by Zhou and Liu Quan, were all special guests and watched the first performance of the new era on the high platform. The common people carried horse stools and sat down below in a sea of people.
Well, this is what the rise of a famous city looks like!
In fact, all of this was planned and promoted by Qi Yu behind the scenes. The reason why he asked his wife Liu Quan to come forward was mainly to show that he was the chief pastor and the people.
It's okay to come forward yourself, but I'm afraid that I might inadvertently scare some people, and it might lead to an inexplicable fund-raising event.
Back to business.
For now, Qiongzhou's development is on the right track, and the people are prosperous. It's time to promote the entertainment-based cultural industry. But don't underestimate these fun things, they can greatly improve the people's sense of honor and pride.
Overall, the effect is quite good, and it has received unanimous praise from word of mouth.
The next day was the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. According to the provisions of the government decree, the factory resumed work and the government office opened.
Oh, I almost forgot, students are also about to end their vacation and officially start school.
On this day, Qi Yu had just changed into a loose Confucian shirt in the style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and was about to go to Qiongzhou Mansion School to attend the opening ceremony of the college. Unexpectedly, a sudden piece of great news directly changed his life. Original plan.
Great news?
Yes!
So, what's going on?
A government officer came to report that Fu Xian and his party from Qiongzhou to the East had returned in triumph loaded with exotic grains from overseas!
Ha ha……
That's great!
"Come here! Get your car ready! Oh no, get your horse ready! I want to go to Tianzi Pier in person to welcome our heroes back!" Qi Yu danced excitedly, as happily as a child.
There had been many sleepless nights when he looked at the eastern night sky, longing for his return.
How many times had he been haunted by dreams, looking at the food in the bowl and feeling sad.
Now that our hopes have come true and our dreams have come true, how can we not be happy?
As the saying goes, food is the first priority for the people, and food safety is the first priority.
The current security in Qiongzhou is stable, but the food problem needs to be solved urgently. The arrival of new food species has just made up for this shortcoming.
In terms of development factors, Qiongzhou is now ready, and the rest depends on whether it can roll up its sleeves and work hard.
After a short while, Qi Dalang rode Juechen and roared over. He reined up his horse and stood at Tianzi Pier.
When he looked at it, he couldn't help but froze there.
However, I saw that the mighty and domineering treasure ship of the past was now beyond recognition. Not only was the tung oil on the hull mottled, but even the standing mast was broken. How could it still have the slightest aura of perseverance?
Alas, if you didn’t know this, you would have thought it was a pirate ship that escaped from the Somali waters!
From this, it is not difficult to see how fierce and violent the stormy waves on this journey were, even damaging the foundations of such a large ship.
Nowadays, the big treasure ship has been turned into tatters, and the people on the ship are not immune. Looking around, they have all turned into scavengers like picking up rags.
They were ragged, unshaven, and tanned. They looked like big black men carrying coffins and performing yangko.
After looking for a long time, Qi Yu finally found Fu Xian among the "black crowd".
At this time, he has long lost his original elegant style, and he feels more like Black Tornado Li Kui, who lacks two big axes in his hands.
Alas, it’s really hard on my brothers!
Deeply moved, Qi Yu roared loudly and shouted: "Fire the cannon! With the highest etiquette of Qiongzhou, come and welcome the return of our heroes!"
"yes!"
boom! boom! boom!
The salutes of this attack were like the waves on the sea, one after another, which made everyone's hearts swell, especially those heroes who had just returned. They lost control of their emotions and directly Tears filled my eyes and I burst into tears.
After the ceremony, Qi Yu was the first to rush forward.
However, instead of expressing his condolences to everyone, he jumped directly into the cabin of the big treasure ship and couldn't wait to inspect the seeds of the food he brought back.
ah!
very nice!
This sack after sack is piled up like a hill. The amount is very large, and it is absolutely a full meal.
Among them, there are sweet potatoes, corn, peanuts, peppers, potatoes, etc. In addition, there are some transplanted trees of various sizes, such as rubber saplings.
After seeing these treasures, even Qi Dalang, who claimed to be strong, couldn't help but shed two excited tears. It was really not easy for this long journey!
Must celebrate!
This banquet must be extravagant, with everyone eating and drinking!
Little bastards, are you all hungry?
Now I open my belly and eat them all!
The noon banquet was held at Shi's Restaurant. Under Master Qi's exemplary leadership, the atmosphere of reunion was very strong. Everyone drank heavily during the banquet. It is said that more than half of the people were carried back.
However, Fu Xian did not dare to drink more, because after the banquet was over, he had to give a comprehensive report on the trip to the chief officer, Mr. Qi.
So, the two took advantage of the afternoon tea time to hold a private meeting in the second hall of the government office.
As for what they talked about, outsiders have no way of knowing.
Fu Xianxian gave a general explanation of this trip. According to him, sailing in the Pacific is indeed full of dangers, and if you are not careful, you may sink.
The reason why I was able to return reluctantly from this trip was, firstly, due to the strong keel of the treasure ship, which could withstand the high winds and waves at sea. Secondly, they made full use of the islands on the map for rest and supplies, and gained a life-saving respite.
In addition to the above two points, the vegetables cultivated in the fertile soil and the firearms carried with them all played a vital role in the personal safety of the personnel.
Fu Xian feels that the current South American continent is still relatively primitive, but the indigenous people there are very intelligent and have created an amazing exotic civilization.
Yes, in this world, it is true that not only our Chinese civilization is splendid, but other continents have also had their glory days.
I can't say who is good or bad at this point, each has his or her own merits.
Fu Xian also said that the reason why he was able to successfully bring back new food species was because he got to know a relatively enlightened local native, and with his help, he successfully got what he wanted.
Of course, we also paid some price for this, such as money.
Qi Yu believes that this money is well spent!
Let alone silver, you can pay in gold instead!
Which of these crops can be measured in money?
Right!
Hearing what Qi Yu said, Fu Xian felt much more at ease.
After chatting about South America, the two began to enjoy tea leisurely.
Fu Xian held the tea cup and after taking a sip, he said with a slight guilt: "Sir, it took me more than a year to go to South America. Isn't it a bit too long?"
"No! You came back at the right time!" Qi Yu smiled heartily and added: "It's not spring plowing yet. If the new grains are sown properly, we will definitely be able to harvest one more season."
right!
It's not yet the beginning of spring, so the timing is indeed perfect.
As Qi Yu said, the first priority right now is to try to make these seeds lay eggs and eggs, so that they can spread out as quickly as possible to benefit thousands of people extensively.
