Jiangning Prefecture,

The silk and singing music on Xuanwu Lake are still lingering in the air.

"Do you really think that all I have done in vain for the past few days..."

On a small private cruise ship, Xie Huiyan, who was a Huaidong envoy, was also explaining to his young nephew and his thick back with his ears and faces.

"A person who is a vassal state is also a minister, and the one who is most denied,"

"Isn't it because the head coach comes from outside and is in chaos for a long time, and each person is in his position and his business is in harmony."

"So, for the long-term plan, there will be chaos and we will try our best to ask the emperor."

"So, this is the duty of the minister and the most basic attitude..."

"You need to keep new things all year round..."

At the same time, he was in the Chengming Hall of Guanlan Pavilion, which handles official duties on a daily basis.

Due to the recent progress of the war, the state in a good mood is also reading some memorials and secret missions through abnormal channels.

"I complain about the disadvantages of Huai Town"

"The Huaizhen ruled only by focusing on business and profit, but by neglecting scholars and neglecting education."

"There is no harmony of the clan, and there is no order of the superiority and inferiority of the hometown,"

"Make officials rampant in the wild, while military and civilians play in the market."

"It is for the people's customs to be corrupt and depressed, but people's hearts do not think about the great way of saints and virtues..."

Seeing this, the governor couldn't help but smile, and he let someone go to a C-class pavilion.

The above criticisms and strange words about Huaizhen have accumulated a lot of them according to the length of time. Some of them have even started to turn yellow and curl, and some dust has accumulated.

As the saying goes, it is better to make mistakes than to make achievements. A foreign minister who is arrogant and domineering and criticized is always much more at ease and kind than a general who is less criticized and deeply loved and obeyed by people.

But the next channel was different from the Sihai Guard, the Military Supervisor, or the Wufangshu, and the second memorial from the East China Sea made his face slightly change...

West Borneo, Fuyuan Prefecture,

In the territory of the Baye Xiaoluo family, there was a slow-paced daily life under the tropical style of abundant sunshine and strong sea breeze.

There have been some changes, such as widening and flattening roads, and a large increase in various water diversion channels and irrigated fields; the popularity and building density along the way have increased significantly.

Various livestock water trucks and small and medium-sized workshops are gradually spread out along the branches of roads and rivers.

The most obvious change is undoubtedly between Luofan’s main city, Luozicheng, and the small port by the sea;

As the vassal lord Luo's residence has been significantly added and renovated, and a larger-scale tall exterior wall is being built, which includes a large residential area that has been formed in the suburbs and the road connecting the small port.

Of course it is a small port, but the small private port at the time is now a medium-sized port market with close ship exchanges and a population of over 10,000. The market is circulating and full of things that are full of Cantonese style.

As for Luozi City, the main streets have also been re-arranged and cleaned, without restoring the original situation of whether it is rainy and dry seasons, either bumpy or deep muddy.

As all the relatives of Luofan’s children and retainers who served in the Huaidong Army, the people who led the people sent back money and supplies over the years, a large number of taller and spacious new buildings also emerged in the residential areas of the city like mushrooms after a rain.

Luozicheng, which had originally been quite stable and peaceful and rarely changed, actually had a changing atmosphere of prosperity.

In fact, looking at East and West Borneo, in recent years, Luo Fan, there are enough and continuous financial and material resources, and corresponding determination and courage to carry out these major actions to improve people's livelihood and living environment under their rule.

As for the vassal lords in other places, as long as they can ensure their living standards and luxury enjoyment, they are the best to maintain the current situation of minimum demand.

As a result, under the surrounding areas, a large number of long-term employment and livelihood opportunities were created; there were even many foreign vassals who took advantage of the opportunity to move over and make long-term plans for their livelihood.

For this reason, the surrounding vassal families have criticized and criticized them a lot, but in the end they have to maintain a silent and limited laissez-faire attitude.

Because in fact, most of the West Borneo and some vassal families in East Borneo actually rely directly or indirectly, or through the so-called Borneo Chamber of Commerce led by Roche, to complete the export of specialties under its leadership, the circulation of various foreign materials, and even the supply of daily luxury goods.

As the saying goes, "It is easy to go from simplicity to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality." After getting used to the high standards and vision of Cantonese fashion, it is difficult to return to the original state and come from the past that is happy when you close the door.

Especially in recent years, the market of the State Council has been generally in a downturn, and the products of overseas vassals are generally unsold and backlogged, this stable and long-term dependence demand has become even more precious.

With the support of personnel and weapons from the Longzhou regiment training, even if it was just some retired old soldiers and eliminated weapons; led by Luo Fan, several nearby vassal families joined forces, and several attempts to recruit and capture the terrestrial barbarians, which were not yet civilized in the inland mountains, achieved great success and significant results at a relatively small cost.

The Luofan alone has opened at least seventeen new villages, large and small, to add nearly 10,000 cheap slaves to the retainers and people under their jurisdiction to meet daily servitude and labor;

If it were in the past, I would have to worry about the food consumed by so many slaves; but now, as an important port and emerging port in West Borneo, are there any fears that Luo Fan's subordinates are insufficient supply?

Therefore, on the high ground outside Luozi City, in the large-scale palace built by Luo Family, everyone in the family who is related to it also feels in their own mood.

From the terrace here, you can clearly see the busy sails entering and leaving the port area. Therefore, in fact, every two or three days, a specialized communication and communication clutch arrives here; and brings various local letters and a large number of news, as well as specialized in supplying novel products and popular things from the Luo Fan family, from Canton.

As the contemporary vassal lord of Baye Xiao Luo, he was already a middle-class Nemesis. Because he delivered and let go of the biggest contradictions and knots, and was hired as a consultant from Canton, he gradually recovered from his illness;

Although his hair was a little whiter, at least his body had recovered and he could ride a horse and hunt for the past. He even had the mood and plans to see if he could have one or two children to comfort him.

Anyway, the children born at this age can no longer affect Luo Fan's inheritance tradition. Instead, they can be educated from an early age and become the helper and helper of the elder brother in the future.

All of this was the series of changes and glory brought by his famous eldest son, and other nearby schools related to the Luo family, without any noise and dissent.

Instead, he thought of various ways to curry favor with and please him, the lord of the legitimate branch; even the governors and patrols sent by the imperial court to the state would send people to greet him from time to time;

Or just visit one or two in person during the New Year holiday to ask the influential old vassal lord of the local area, what special needs or are not satisfied enough and what is satisfactory.

As the saying goes, "I will give you a gift and a reward." Naturally, he would not have ungrateful control over his figure, but he would not have been particularly close to them, and deliberately seeking something, just maintaining it in a natural way to follow the flow of the daily level.

After all, with the gradual prosperity and prosperity of Luo Fan, which occupied a small half of Fuyuan Prefecture, it naturally formed a closely related interactive relationship with these officials sent by the imperial court to the state.

Since he is now enjoying his achievements and waiting for the time to hand over the shift, he has his own sense of responsibility and skill in his actions. He will definitely not want to be a burden to drag his son down, or even inadvertently become the tool involved in the power struggle of others.

But no matter what,

After Qi Nian Gong passed away, the Luo family's family had been in a downward depression and low tide, and was finally reversed and changed by his next generation's outstanding eldest son.

Even the Chu family, a foreign country who was once the uncle's family, was the most powerful external force that encouraged and supported the eldest son. He heard that he had secretly regretted it and wanted to reconstruct those distant relationships with this nephew who had a long history of no contact.

As the most important concubine in charge, Ersha was happy and worried. What was happy was that the eldest son she raised since childhood had become unimaginable now; but what was worried was that her daughter could still stay with her brother as she wished and continue to grow up for Luo's family?

As for the wife of Luo Fanzhu, who was the wife of Luo Fanzu, she couldn't help but burst into tears after receiving a letter from her son Luo Nianzu.

Because her son, Luo Fan's second son, Yu Ze, was appointed as the ninth rank Cheng Linglang and was awarded the title of the man in Lingwu Township.

Even if it is the lowest-level title of the country, it means that even if you lose everything that Luo Fan can inherit, you can marry a wealthy merchant family with similar families in Guangzhou with this title, and set up a family to live a good life and pass on your family.

It is really worth it that I have ignored my identity and reserve. The result of being humble and complacent in front of that eldest son and ruthlessly compromised without hesitation seems to have achieved a relatively good result.
