Yin Tao neither agreed nor explicitly rejected Qi Yu's sudden proposal.
She just smiled and said: As long as you have a good heart, what do you mean by these worldly things?
Qi Dalang wanted to say more, but the beauty covered his lips, signaling him to relax and not let down this beautiful moment.
Uh...what beautiful scenery?
Haha, let me sing a song with you, please listen to it for me.
But under the red candle, those slender jade fingers gently plucked the strings, vividly performing the classic song of the Han Dynasty - "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix".
The cadence is mellow, and the sound is faint to the ear.
The two of them, one has left the isolation and self-admiration, and the other has put aside his worries, and are enjoying themselves together.
It can be seen that after tonight's heart-to-heart talk, they have become much closer. Although they are not yet inseparable, they still have a sense of affection for each other.
At the moment, there are songs, music, beauties, and the atmosphere is elegant and pleasant.
However, Qi Yu always felt that something was missing.
What?
Oh, come to think of it, all I need is wine!
Naturally, Yin Tao would not spoil his elegance and hurriedly presented the fine wine sent by her brother to you for a taste.
drink!
It turned out to be the famous Lanling mash.
We have wine, but we still lack poems to cheer us up!
Qi Dalang laughed, opened his mouth and said: "There are clouds in Taibai: Lanling fine wine, tulips, amber light in the jade bowl. Come, come, come, give me a full bowl!"
"With your drinking capacity, you still use a bowl?"
"What kind of wine you drink depends on what kind of wine you drink. You can't mess with this..."
Is it that particular?
Well, whatever.
Qi Yu discovered afterwards, where was the Lanling wine? It's clearly the legendary 'suffocating the donkey'!
Drunk, drunk...
Did you talk nonsense after drinking?
Can not remember.
Have you ever had sexual intercourse after drinking?
I don’t remember either.
All in all, all in all, there were large fragments in Qi Yu's thinking. It seemed that a certain plot had been pinched off by the ruthless hand of God.
Forget it, wait for another day to ask that little girl in person if anything happened at that time.
…
Early the next morning, Qi Yu hurriedly got up and rushed to the governor's Yamen as soon as possible to prepare for the first high-level meeting after his return.
For now, the news of the triumphant victory of the Qiongzhou Southern Expedition has spread throughout the streets and has immediately become a hot topic of discussion among people.
It is said that "Qiongzhou Daily" is rushing to publish the article and is preparing to report this blockbuster news.
Among the people, an old man said with emotion: "Master Qi once said that if anything goes wrong in Qiongzhou, he will die to prove his righteousness. Looking back now, he not only protected the territory of Qiongzhou with an iron fist, but also wiped out all the invading enemies. Even the legendary Zhou Lang’s use of troops is nothing more than this, right?”
"That's right! You know, this time we wiped out all the enemy forces, not a small victory like repelling them. Compared with Zhou Lang Chibi, it's only better than anything less."
"..."
Although both defeating and annihilating are considered victories, they give people completely different feelings. The former is relatively mediocre, while the latter is domineering.
Looking at the various passionate faces, Qi Dalang felt very pleased.
With such public support as the backing, what else is there to fear?
Stop talking about anything, just roll up your sleeves and get to work!
Discuss politics!
As usual, we first listen to the work reports of each department.
As the head of various departments, Yu Hai was naturally the first to speak: "Your Excellency, the current development is making steady progress, and all walks of life are rising. The trend is indeed gratifying, especially the investment in infrastructure. We are now again There’s a bigger leap forward.”
"Oh? Please elaborate."
"Not long ago, after careful consideration, I approved various investment projects related to the 'Ruan Qiong Railway'. This move is of great significance and will bring Qiongzhou's land transportation to a higher level!"
"Yeah! That's great!"
Railway construction, as an important project for people's livelihood, must be ranked first in investment.
As the saying goes, if you want to be rich, build roads first. Without excellent transportation as the cornerstone, it is impossible for the development of buildings to be raised steadily.
In addition to important infrastructure projects, Yu Hai also reported other administrative measures.
For example, he used the list provided by Qi Yu as a reference, and after weighing it, he appropriately relaxed some of the trade bans on Fujian. Now that Gao Ming and Yue Si are dead, I believe that they will be able to basically let go in the near future.
As for Annan, the new jurisdiction, Yu Hai also made relevant arrangements and successfully completed the takeover. For the development of this place, he generally drew on the successful experience of Luzon and followed the same method.
According to the order of its development, the first is to promote agricultural progress, then to develop mineral deposits, and finally to take root in light industry.
Very reasonable and kind!
Next, is the judicial report.
Peng Wenchang said: "The public security in the jurisdiction has generally stabilized, and the number of criminal offenders has dropped significantly compared with before. This is very gratifying."
As soon as he changed his voice, he raised some practical issues he was facing at the moment: "Due to the construction of housing and the Qiongqiong Railway, a lot of private land was occupied, and this move caused the residents to feel dissatisfied. They were dissatisfied. Then, they came to the Provincial Government’s Procuratorate to file lawsuits and seek solutions. However, we in Qiongzhou do not have laws in this regard!"
Qi Yu thought for a while and said: "I was careless about this matter. Normally, when it comes to demolition, relevant legislation must be made in advance as a guideline for doing things. If we can't learn from it, chaos will undoubtedly occur."
After saying that, he told Yu Hai: "It's not too late to make amends! The Chief Secretary should come up with a feasible plan as soon as possible to resolve this matter."
Yu Hai agreed upon hearing this and promised on the spot that he would do it immediately.
After that, Duan Zicheng and Tan Junyan reported in turn.
As for the military, there are no major matters, and everything is basically done step by step.
The only military adjustment is that Qi Yu wants to deploy all the captured Franco warships on the north coast of the Great Bay. The purpose is naturally to enhance the defense capabilities of the place to compete with the Fusang Kingdom across the sea. threaten.
During this national war, Fusang State actually allocated all its troops to attack Dawan. The situation at that time was very critical. If Fu Xian had not fought back hard, the consequences would have been disastrous. If we take this as a lesson, we must strengthen the military strength of the Greater Bay Area and prepare for a rainy day.
Build a high embankment, why worry about floods?
In addition to military deployment, there is also the matter of testing steam engine ships.
Because this matter does not require too many resources, Qi Yu did not talk about it in particular, just chatting about it.
Duan Zicheng had no objection to this and agreed.
Tan Junyan's side is basically business as usual. Even if there is a reward, it is some trivial matter, so I won't make any remarks here.
After talking about official matters, Peng Wenchang wanted to inquire about Xiaotong. However, before he could open his mouth, Mr. Qi waved his hand and announced that the discussion was over.
…
Speaking of Qi Yu, after finishing his business, he hurriedly took the gifts and made a special trip to visit his mentor Meng Lanshan.
Recently, I have been traveling a lot, and it has been a long time since I went to the teacher to say hello.
Coincidentally, Meng Lanshan happened to have a break at home today and was drinking tea and reading the newspaper in the courtyard.
It seemed that the old man had already guessed that Qi Yu would come, and actually placed two tea bowls in advance.
"How are you, sir?"
"Shang An, please sit down!"
"yes!"
After saluting, Qi Yu sat cross-legged on the futon opposite and poured tea and water for the teacher.
It was quiet all around.
Look at the clear blue sky and the clouds like cotton, surging and dispersing in the gentle autumn wind; under the rustling sound, the withered leaves are fluttering and falling in a leisurely manner.
Meng Lanshan felt this situation and sighed: "Yun, I am not surprised by favor or disgrace. I watch the flowers blooming and falling in front of the court. I have no intention of leaving or leaving, watching the clouds rolling and relaxing in the sky. Life is like a dream, so why should I be obsessed with it?" "
Haha, sir, your attitude is really good!
It's like a great scholar who doesn't care about worldly affairs, he can take it up and let it go, he's broad-minded, and he's in harmony with the world.
However, this was a misjudgment.
Because the Great Yin in front of us is not exempt from vulgarity,
The old gentleman's expression suddenly turned serious, and he asked as if questioning: "Shaocheng, tell the truth, has something happened to my disciple's granddaughter?"
Qi Yu frowned when he heard this and sighed inwardly: How should I answer this matter?
