On the fifth day of November in the first year of Zhiping, Xiao Yu boarded the warship of the Guangzhou Navy and set off for Panyu.

The boat sailed slowly away from the coast, Xiao Yu stood at the bow of the boat, and the people who saw him off gradually faded away, his vision also became blurred, and he didn't know when he would be able to board this hot land again.

He loves this land and is full of nostalgia for it, but he also knows that the vast land behind him is the land that needs more cultivation.

Leaving Yazhou this time, Xiao Yu didn't take away many people, except Pei Linzhi, Min Chong, Lai Feng and Xiangyang, Aping, Ji Hai brothers and sisters, Meng Sigui and Xiaochun, and Qingyou Shuangluo sisters.

In addition, there is a guard team that Pei Linzhi carefully selected for him, mainly from Baisha Village and the domestic servants that Min Chong bought back from the north. They will be Xiao Yu's guards in the future.

The rest of the people stayed in Yazhou. After all, Yazhou also needs to be well managed.

Xiao Yu brought a lot of things from Yazhou, including the seeds of various crops brought back from overseas and the hybrid rice seeds he cultivated by himself.

The hybrid rice planted this season has not yet been harvested, and he has entrusted it to a reliable person, and told him to make a record after the harvest, and send half of the rice to Panyu.

In the future, hybrid rice experiments will be carried out in Yazhou and Guangzhou. After the characteristics of rice seeds are stabilized, the best rice seeds will be selected and planted on a large scale in Yazhou and Guangzhou.

A day later, navy ships entered the Pearl River.The boat went upstream, and after more than two hours, it finally arrived outside the city of Panyu before dark. Min Chong drove the fastest building boat to Guangzhou first, and arranged for the soldiers stationed in the city to come out to meet him.

Seeing such a huge battle, the people in the city didn't know what was going on, and couldn't help but stop and watch, this is some kind of big shot.

It's not that Xiao Yu has never been to Guangzhou, but there is no place where he can reunite with the Guangzhou in his memory. Even the Pearl River is different from what he remembers. It turned out that the Pearl River was still so clear.

Compared with Yazhou, Panyu City is already a big city, with more than 10 households in the city, making it the most prosperous city in the entire Lingnan area.However, even if the average household population is large, Panyu will not add up to more than [-] people.

When Xiao Yu learned about the number of people in Panyu from Min Chong, he was also surprised, but the population of one Panyu city is close to the population of the entire Yazhou, which is considered very prosperous.

Take your time, population development is the last word.

Xiao Yu got off the boat, got into the six-horse carriage that Min Chong had prepared for him, and went straight to the Governor's Mansion.

"The last time I came here, someone vacated the governor's mansion. Jishan has already been cleaned up, and everything that can be replaced has been replaced. We just wait for His Majesty to move in." Min Chong said.

After Ji Shan came here with Min Chong last time, he didn't go back and was garrisoned in Panyu, so he didn't attend Xiao Yu's enthronement ceremony.

Xiao Yu asked: "Then what about the people from the Governor's Mansion?"

Min Chong said: "They have been placed elsewhere, and they are being watched. Wait for His Majesty to come and send them down."

In the past, all the people brought by Zhao Lun were dealt with by Pei Linzhi. As for how to deal with them, Xiao Yu never asked.

Zhao Lun's position was different from Wang Qi's. Zhao Lun wanted to kill his enemy, while Wang Qi was a former official who was unwilling to submit to him. Naturally, the way of dealing with it was different.

The planning of Panyu City is obviously much more reasonable than that of Yazhou City. The houses are row upon row and very prosperous. The main roads in the city are paved with gravel, but many places have been crushed by cars and horses, and no one has filled them in. .

There was no way to avoid these potholes when the carriage walked on it, the bumps were really uncomfortable.Sitting in Xiao Yu's arms, Ah Ping twisted his body uncomfortably: "Lang Jun, I want to vomit."

The child sat on the boat for more than a day, and was very excited at first, but then he became seasick due to the waves, and vomited all kinds of things.It was Meng Sigui who made him a simple prescription, let him sleep all the way, and only woke up when he was about to go ashore. Unexpectedly, he was jolted so hard that he felt nauseous again just after he got ashore.

Xiao Yu hurriedly said to Lai Feng who was driving the horse: "Lai Feng, walk slowly, the car jolts badly, Ah Ping is about to vomit."

Lai Feng quickly pulled the horse's rein and slowed down the speed of the car.

Pei Linzhi, who was accompanying him on a horse, said, "Does Your Majesty want to ride a horse?"

Xiao Yu looked at the potholed road: "That's fine."

Pei Linzhi asked Lai Feng to stop the car, then pulled Xiao Yu directly from the carriage to him, grabbed A Ping with one hand, and placed him in front of Xiao Yu: "Sit tight, we're leaving."

A Ping loves horseback riding very much. When he got on the same bumpy horseback, he stopped vomiting immediately, and his little face flushed with excitement.

Meng Sigui saw that Xiao Yu and A Ping couldn't sit in the carriage, and suggested: "Brother, let's go down, this carriage is too painful. How can this broken road compare with our Yazhou's road?" It’s still rotten.” He obviously forgot that not long ago, the roads in Yazhou City were not as good as this.

Ji Hai didn't speak, and jumped off the carriage directly, supporting Meng Sigui's proposal with actions.

The girls sitting in the carriage at the back saw that everyone in the carriage in front had gone down, and they were a little envious, and they wanted to go down too.

It's good that Yu'er and Xiaochun have practiced martial arts, but Qingyou and Shuangluo's foot strength can't keep up with the speed of the carriage, so they begged the two little girls not to get down and ride with them.Yu'er and Xiaochun had no choice but to ride in the car with their two older sisters.

Several girls were looking at the scenery outside the window while discussing excitedly: "Panyu City is so big, I don't see thatched houses, and they are richer than people in Yazhou."

"Wow, it's getting dark, and there are so many shops open along the street. Sure enough, it's much more prosperous than Yazhou." Qing You praised, Yazhou basically doesn't have shops open at night except brothels Well, after brothels were banned, there were basically no shops open at night.

"Ouch!" Following a bump, Yu'er stretched out his hand and rubbed the back of his head, "Panyu is pretty good, but the road is so bad, it's not as good as our Yazhou."

Shuang Luo said with a smile: "That's true. But I think the road in Panyu will be smooth in a short time, and His Majesty will definitely not sit idly by."

"That is, our Majesty has always been a person who does what he says." Qingyou said proudly.

"It is a blessing for the people of Panyu that His Majesty has come to Panyu," Xiaochun said.

Panyu was not very big, so Xiao Yu rode a horse and arrived at the Governor's Mansion very quickly. The receptionists in the Governor's Mansion were all familiar faces, and they were the Yazhou Navy Division that Min Chong had brought over.

Seeing Xiao Yu, everyone knelt down and saluted: "See Your Majesty!"

Pei Linzhi jumped off the horse, and hugged Xiao Yu and Aping together.

Xiao Yu straightened his clothes and said with a smile: "Get up, who taught you. I told you in Yazhou that anyone who sees me in the future doesn't need to kneel down. I don't like kneeling here."

Everyone looked at each other, and Min Chong who followed them said: "Since Your Majesty said so, then listen to him, there is no need to kneel down."

Ji Shan took the lead and stood up: "Your Majesty must be very tired after a long journey. We have prepared hot water. Let's take a bath first. After bathing, we can eat."

Min Chong raised his eyebrows approvingly: "Not bad, the arrangement is quite thoughtful."

Xiao Yu was led by Ji Shan to the backyard of the Governor's Mansion to take a bath and change clothes. Unexpectedly, the Governor's Mansion was astonishingly large. This was just the Governor's residence, not his office.

The yard is divided into four entrances, east and west, and a huge back garden with pavilions, rockery, and a lake, which is several times the size of their house in Yazhou.

Not only is it big, but the house is also very particular about the details. The corridors are winding and winding, with carved beams and painted buildings, and there are exquisitely crafted twelve stamp patterns everywhere, which is extremely luxurious.

I don't know if this is for the governor's exclusive use or if Wang Qi built it himself. In short, it's all made of money.

Although Xiao Yu himself can earn a lot of gold and silver, he is not willing to spend the money like this. He thinks it is better to spend the money on more meaningful things.

When he arrived at the bathroom in the backyard, Xiao Yu was shocked again. It was actually a bathing pool, the kind that could be used for swimming.Let’s not talk about bathing in summer, after all, you can put cold water on it, but how long does it take to fill such a large pool in winter, even if it is heated directly below it, it will take a long time.

Jishan said: "Your Majesty, please take a bath. The water has been boiled. If you need to heat up or cool down, please tell us directly."

Xiao Yu looked at such a big pool of water, his heart was itchy, and he looked at Pei Linzhi: "I want to take a bath, but the change of clothes hasn't arrived yet." Their luggage is still at the back.

Pei Linzhi said: "It's okay, someone will bring the clothes in later, you can wash them if you want."

When Xiao Yu heard this, he began to take off his clothes.A Ping moved faster than him. The little guy had already torn off his clothes quickly, sat on the edge of the pool, and began to touch the water with his feet. A Ping is a duck and loves to play with water.

Xiao Yu looked at A Ping and couldn't help laughing. He walked to the water's edge in his underpants, sat down beside A Ping, and put his feet in the pool. The water temperature was just right: "Have a bath!" He picked up A Ping and jumped into the pool. into the water.

A Ping screamed excitedly, just as Xiao Yu guessed, the pool was waist-deep, and there were steps beside it, it was very comfortable to sit in the bath: "Rinzhi, come down and take a bath together. "

Pei Linzhi wasn't ready to wash with him, but planned to wipe his back.Hearing what he said, he removed his clothes and went down to the sink.

Xiao Yu swam back and forth in the water with A Ping in his arms, and said: "The happiness of the rich is unimaginable, it is too extravagant. It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. I don’t even want to make progress.”

Pei Linzhi looked at him and couldn't help laughing, has there been such an emperor throughout the ages?Just because you take a bath, you feel that you are too extravagant. Isn't this the standard configuration of an emperor?

"Your Majesty deserves it." Pei Linzhi said.

Xiao Yu shook his head: "No, there is a great poet who wrote a poem 'The wine and meat of the rich family stinks, and the road is frozen to death'. I feel that I am living the life of the rich family with the smell of wine and meat."

Pei Linzhi said: "Your Majesty did not build this house and the bath, so how could it be blamed on you?"

"But I'm using it now. Don't use this bathtub for bathing in the future. It's a waste of water and firewood. Just make me a bathtub like before. The bathtub is already luxurious enough, and there is no need for a bathtub." Xiao Yu explain.

"Okay, I'll tell people to do it later." Pei Linzhi nodded.
