The sound of firecrackers marks the end of the year, and the spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu.
Thousands of households exchange old talismans for new peaches every day.
Before you know it, it’s a new year.
In the evening, Ren Pingsheng put aside his usual worries and lay on a soft rocking chair, holding a game console and playing games there.
"What are you playing for?"
The black cat suddenly jumped onto Ren Pingsheng's rocking chair, squatting on the back of the chair and watching him play.
"You can't play, your paws can only play Fruit Ninja."
Ren Pingsheng relied on his sharp reaction speed to kill everyone in the game, while teasing the black cat.
"snort!"
The black cat raised his neck and looked very disdainful: "Isn't it just playing games? I don't even bother to play, Cat!"
After that, it jumped off the chair and ran to Ruan Tang and Xiaowan to watch them making dumplings.
"Forget the book, Ruhua, have the glutinous rice balls been cooked?"
Ruan Tang asked outside.
"It's already in the pot and will be cooked soon."
Ruhua poked her head out of the kitchen and shouted.
The black cat smelled the smell, slipped out through the crack in the door, and ran to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, the four maids Qingyin, Siqi, Wangshu, and Ruhua were all here. Peony had nowhere to go, so they also came with them.
There are still some little maids in the house. At this time, some are posting couplets outside, some are hanging lanterns, some are cleaning, some are preparing cakes and fruits, and some are preparing for tonight's program.
Something to do.
"What are you guys doing?"
The black cat sniffed, smelled something, and ran to the backyard following the smell.
I saw several little maids squatting on the ground.
When I looked closer, I saw that it was teasing a white mouse standing upright in the cage, holding its paws and bowing.
"Um?"
The black cat suddenly became excited: "I didn't expect that there is a huge rat hiding in this yard!"
"Zhizhizhi~"
The little white mouse was so frightened when it saw the black cat! It screamed in fright and huddled in a corner of the cage, trembling and afraid to move.
"Forget it, I think you have just been born with spiritual wisdom. It is not easy to become a demon. Cat, I will spare your life. But as the cat leader of the Night Owl Organization, if I find that you dare to do harm to my sister Xiaowan and brother He Shengsheng, I will definitely not do it.
Spare you!
Don’t say you didn’t predict what you said!
Why don't you thank me for not killing him!"
After the black cat finished speaking, he lowered his head and stared at the white mouse.
"You said it became a monster?"
Xiaowan came over at some point and looked at the black cat in surprise and asked.
"That's right, my eyes, Maomao, are so sharp!"
When one person and one cat were talking, the little white mouse really understood what the black cat said. He quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to him as if he were a human being, making a "squeaking" sound while kowtowing.
.
"Tsk tsk"
Ren Pingsheng and Ruan Tang also came over, looked at the white mouse, and sighed in surprise.
No one thought that this little white mouse from the earth could become a spirit. It was indeed his blessing to bring him to another world. Next time, he would bring all the figurines from home.
"The glutinous rice balls are out of the pot."
A picturesque shout came from the kitchen over there.
Compared to last year's 30's when I was in Liujiacun, which was cold and deserted, this year it's much livelier. There are Xiaowan and Ruan Tang making dumplings around me, and black cats running around mischievously.
There are also all the maids in the mansion, and the noise of the servants coming from the outer courtyard from time to time, filling the courtyard with a cheerful New Year atmosphere.
Qingyin and Shaoyao played a song "Happy New Year", and Ruhua led several maids to dance the rehearsed dance to the music.
Until twelve o'clock in the evening, the sound of firecrackers started to be heard outside.
Staying up all night, with the sound of firecrackers, ushered in the new year.
This is the sixteenth year of the Chongqing Dynasty in Dajing.
As soon as the New Year was over, news came from the north. The bandits were so ferocious that they bypassed the imperial officers and soldiers, went straight to the capital, and laid siege to the capital for seven days. Mao Min, the commander-in-chief of the northern border army, was ordered to lead his troops south to serve the king, and the foreign tribes from the north took the opportunity to invade.
In the next few days, three cities were massacred, tens of thousands of people were killed, countless goods were looted, and they walked away.
Before Mao Min arrived in the capital, the bandits had already retreated and went straight to Tongxuan City, plundering a large amount of grain, grass and money. The people then fled, leaving only a mess on the ground.
"After this battle, the imperial court's vitality has been severely damaged again, and its decay and incompetence has been seen by more people. This year will become more and more chaotic.
In addition, there is news that there is a large-scale invasion by pirates in the River Valley Province. Many coastal cities have been hit to varying degrees, losing a lot of goods and people.
All in all, this year is going to be an increasingly chaotic year.
Yuntaiwei is ready for war, and each department has its own departments to protect talents and people's livelihood.
We must ensure our internal stability.
At the same time, we must expand this year, and we must quickly expand our population, territory, resources, economy and other comprehensive strength to lay a solid foundation for the next fight for the world!"
Fighting for the world is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat.
After the New Year, Ren Zhengsheng hosted the first meeting on the mountain, which set the tone for this year's development.
At the same time, far away in Fuzhou County, Yangjiang City, the capital of Wuzhou, is built on the blue Yangtze River and is surrounded by mountains and rivers. Spring has returned to the earth, with birds singing and flowers fragrant everywhere, and trees and grass luxuriant.
In Yangjiang City, the Governor's Mansion, which covers an area of more than five acres, is in the main hall.
Fifty-three-year-old Governor Wang Anguo was sitting in the main hall.
He had a face with a Chinese character, a long beard and a beautiful beard, and a dignified appearance. He looked particularly majestic. At this time, he frowned and looked heavy. He held his hands in the direction of the capital, looked at the governor Wen Bo, and asked: "Li Fugui
I'm just an eunuch, but you dare to let me deliver food to Ren Shengsheng!
Who is Ren? How can a warlord who supports his troops and respects himself be entrusted with important responsibilities? Supporting Ren is nothing more than drinking poison to quench his thirst!
We don’t have enough food ourselves, so how can we raise tigers and cause trouble? Zian, tell me how the training of the 50,000 recruits is going? Is there any new progress?"
"Your Majesty, Governor, is a master of martial arts. Your Majesty believes that the gelding must have received the benefits of Ren's life. He came to Yangjiang City to support him. I will definitely read his book when I return!"
After Wen Bo finished speaking, he said confidently: "After the governor gave me this task, I have been on duty day and night. Since the beginning of autumn last year, more than 30,000 people have been recruited into the army, including Fuzhou, Changguo and Qingzhou.
It was full. I went to the barracks to check in person and found that they were all training!
By the middle of this year at the latest, we will be able to train 50,000 elite soldiers. By then, whether it is to check and balance Ren Pingsheng or to fight against the rebels in the north, we will definitely be successful!"
Wang Anguo gently stroked his beard after hearing this, nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "This matter is very important, Zian must take it seriously."
Ren Pingsheng still didn't know what he thought was a sure thing, but after Governor Wang Anguo and Governor Wen Bo deceived the eunuch Li Fugui away, they did not intend to give him a grain of grain, and regarded him as a serious problem.
