Chapter 506 Guangzhou (1)

When Song Yang and his party returned to Quanzhou, it was already mid-June.

They left Jiangzhou right after the first lunar month, and half a year passed in a blink of an eye.

Of course, this trip was mainly delayed by taking the boat and Wanwan and other people.

Some time ago, Qiao Jinglong accepted the transfer order and set off for Wanwan with some officials.

Song Yang originally wanted to wait until Qiao Jinglong set sail before leaving.

Later, I realized that some things had not been explained to me in person, so I simply waited for another month until Qiao Jinglong came over.

Song Yang and Qiao Jinglong explained some of the situation of Wanwan and the general development direction of Wanwan in the future, before he set off back to Quanzhou.

Returning with Song Yang were Yu Ming, Ma Cheng, and Chang Li.

Wei Nan, Qiao Jinglong, and Zhang Fan all stayed in Wanwan.

Ritu and Han Jin on the mountain returned to Yuzhou with the soldiers of the Tokyo Battalion a month and a half ago.

After sending Song Yang back to Quanzhou, Ma Cheng wanted to go back again. He wanted to go back to Penghu to build the Penghu Water Village.

Originally, Chang Li could just go back with Yu Ming and accompany Song Yang, but Ma Cheng was worried and had to go through all the trouble himself.

"After returning to Penghu, communicate with Wei Nan Laoqiao and others. Some supplies can be transported from Wanwan, which is much closer."

"Yes! I understand."

With a few instructions, Ma Cheng set foot on the waterway to Penghu.

At Quanzhou Port, King Nanhai has returned to Guangzhou, and Song Yang stopped in Quanzhou for three days.

A Taoist priest came to Quanzhou Port, and he was Taoist Pingzhen.

That is, Song Yang and others.

Before returning, Song Yang sent a message to Fang Zhe, saying that he would not return to Jiangzhou for the time being and wanted to visit various state capitals.

When Gongsun Qi, who was on duty at home, found out, he immediately asked Master Ping Zhen to help protect Song Yang's safety.

Pingzhen owed Song Yang a favor, and after complying with Gongsun Qi's request, he set off for Quanzhou.

The main purpose of the old Taoist is not to protect Song Yang. After all, he can't kill Song Yang and doesn't need protection from others at all.

But Song Yang also has four wives and three children, so he needs the help of an experienced person.

Originally Gongsun Qi was also going to come, but Song Yang stopped him.

He just wanted to go around and see the public sentiment. As Gongsun Qi was the deputy commander of the Navy and Ma Cheng was away, he still had a lot of things to be busy with.

After Pingzhen arrived, Yu Ming was also driven away by Song Yang. He had been out for half a year and Yu Ming had to go back to handle official duties.

In order to protect Song Yang's safety, Yu Ming asked Cui Qiang to stay under his command, and also left him with a bodyguard of 500 people.

After the Northern Expedition, Cui Qiang was appointed as the garrison in Xuanzhou. When he came out, he passed by Xuanzhou and Song Yang took him with him.

Originally, I wanted to see if Wanwan confirmed it, then let Cui Qiang stay.

As a result, the population here is too small, leaving Wei Nan and the three of them very idle.

Cui Qiang didn't use it and followed Song Yang back.

Now that Song Yang was going to observe the sentiments of the people, Cui Qiang happened to be the guard commander again.

"It's hard work, Taoist Master, so I have to make a trip for you." Song Yang said politely after picking up Taoist Pingzhen.

The veteran's martial arts skills are indeed much better than his. He is the serious master in the world, and he is just a loser at best.

"Your Majesty, I owe you a favor, so I should do my best this time. Besides, I have been in Jiangzhou for a long time, and I feel that I have to go out and travel." Ping Zhen said calmly.

In the past few years, Pingzhen has been practicing in a Taoist temple in Jiangzhou.

There is no special care for monks in Jiangzhou, but monks have to rely on themselves for food.

Pingzhen can adapt to this kind of life, and he is supported by Gongsun Qi.

It's just that this veteran feels bored after staying in one place for a long time, and has long wanted to go out.

Gongsun Qi asked him to be Song Yang's bodyguard, and the old Taoist readily agreed.

After stopping in Quanzhou for another two days, the first batch of supplies shipped from Fuzhou to Wanwan was shipped, and Song Yang left Quanzhou.

His first stop was Guangzhou.

In the later generations of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, in this era after the natural disaster, only Guangzhou was left.

It is the capital city of Guangzhou.

Also called Nanhai City, it was the fiefdom of Song Jing, the King of Nanhai.

Third uncle has always been in charge of all matters on Lingnan Road, and Song Yang has never had any control over these years.

I came out this time and just happened to come and take a look.

Accompanied by Chang Li, the group took a boat south and soon arrived at Nanhai City.

"Brother Wang, Sister-in-law Wang!" Song Lan dressed in women's clothing greeted Song Yang.

In the years just after the natural disaster, in order to stabilize the situation, Song Lan kept wearing men's clothes and pretending to be the prince.

She and Song Jing had been to Jiangzhou once and knew both Tong Qian and Shen Xiaowan.

At that time, Tong Qian and Shen Xiaowan had not yet received their names.

"Xiao Lan. She's getting more and more beautiful after several years of absence!" Tong Qian said with a smile.

"Sister-in-law Wang is the beautiful one!" Song Lan exchanged a few words with Xiaoqian.

"This is Chengye, he's so high!" Song Lan said with a smile on her face when she saw the steamed buns following Tong Qian.

Song Jing came back from Quanzhou a while ago and mentioned steamed buns. He liked his grandnephew very much.

"Hello, aunt!" Steamed Bun said obediently, holding his head high.

"Yuhan, Yurou, call aunt!" Shen Xiaowan hugged Song Yuhan, and Lan Zhen hugged Song Yurou.

The two daughters are only two years old and are a little timid. They have stage fright when facing Aunt Song Lan, whom they don't know.

"Hey, Yuhan, Yurou asked aunt to give you candy!" Song Lan took out the candy.

Before the two little girls could speak, the bun next to Tong Qian pulled his neck and shouted: "Aunt, aunt, aunt, aunt, aunt..."

Song Yang's eyes twitched when he heard this.

"You bastard! You are trying to lay an egg!" Song Yang tugged at the bun angrily.

"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed.

In the end, Mantou, Yuhan and Yurou all got the malt candies.

The two little girls just shyly called aunt in a low voice, but Steamed Bun held Song Lan and didn't let go, and kept calling aunt and aunt.

"Brother Wang, my father didn't know you were coming. He went to Duanzhou and won't be back for a few days." After everyone greeted them and walked into the city, Song Lan talked about Song Jing, the King of the South China Sea.

Song Yang came on the spur of the moment, without any advance notice. The Clippers who came just this morning informed him.

"I heard about the flood in Duanzhou. Uncle Wang doesn't need to come back in a hurry. It's more important to control the flood." Song Yang said in a deep voice.

In the morning, a clipper ship was sent to report the news, and the news of the Duanzhou flood was brought back.

Duanzhou is right next to Guangzhou, and the Xijiang River flows from the capital city of Duanzhou to Guangzhou.

Some time ago, various places in the upper reaches of the Xijiang River were hit by heavy rains, which were very violent in a short period of time.

However, the water level of the Xijiang River rose rapidly, destroying the dikes in the Duanzhou section.

Thousands of acres of fertile farmland in Duanzhou have now been submerged, and four or five villages have been destroyed by floods.

After Song Jing got the news, he immediately took people to Duanzhou for disaster relief.

"Brother Wang, don't worry, the peak of the flood has passed, and the rain upstream has stopped. As long as the dam is blocked, the flood will be over." Song Lan knew that Song Yang was worried about the comfort of the people, so she comforted him.

"Isn't cement put into use a long time ago? Why isn't this section of the river embankment reinforced with reinforced concrete?" Song Yang asked about the cement.

It has been three or four years since cement was put into production, and all the dams in Jiangzhou are made of reinforced concrete.

There have been no more floods in recent years.

Song Lan sighed and said: "It is already in use, but the limestone mine here has collapsed before. The output of the new limestone mine is not large. The cement now supplies various water systems in Guangzhou. The embankment on the other side of the Xijiang River

Only half repaired."

After listening to this, Song Yang realized that this was due to insufficient production capacity.

Jiangzhou has a large cement output, but it is inconvenient to transport it to Lingnan.

There is a shortage of cement materials here in Lingnan, so we can only use them in Guangzhou first.

"Limestone mines... I have several locations here. You can send people to look for them later." Song Yang searched the encyclopedia and found some limestone mines in the Lingnan area.

Song Lan wrote down the location of the mine and was not surprised by it.

Anyone who has been to Jiangzhou knows the magic of Song Yang.

Soon we arrived at Guangzhou City. Looking at the Guangzhou City Wall, Song Yang was filled with emotion.

He actually visited Guangzhou several times in that era.

There are no city walls, not many historical relics, all the smoke and smoke of a big city.

Today's Guangzhou is right in front of us, and there is a plaque of Nanhai City hanging on the city wall.

This city is not big, and it looks like it may not be as big as county towns like Duchang and Ruichang.

But in fact, Guangzhou is not small. The city wall can be considered an inner city at most, and there are many settlements outside the city, where a large number of people live.

At the city gate, the people coming in and out seemed quite busy.

This month is considered a busy time for farming. Coupled with the floods in the Xijiang River, Guangzhou has also been affected to some extent. People have to take care of their fields every day for fear of being flooded.

Judging from their clothing and complexion, the people in Guangzhou are the same as those in many places in Daqian.

Although he is not as rosy and striding as the people in Jiangzhou, he is not as sallow and gloomy as the people in Wanwan.

When they arrived at the city gate, Song Yang and others did not put on any airs and followed the people into the city.

When passing by the tea stall at the city gate, the old man selling tea knew Song Lan and insisted on bringing him two tea eggs.

In the end, Song Lan didn't eat any of it, and was all dazzled by the steamed buns.

Arriving at the gate of the palace, Princess Guo of the Nanhai Sea greeted her at the door with her children.

The child led by Mrs. Guo is called Song Yan, the son of the King of Nanhai. He is two years older than Mantou and is already six years old this year.

Song Yan looks a little tall and thin, and looks somewhat similar to Song Lan.

At that time, this boy was not born yet, and there was no successor in the Nanhai King line. In order to calm the people, Song Jing had no choice but to let his daughter Song Lan come out and show his face.

Later, Mrs. Guo got her best and gave birth to a boy.

Now that Song Yan has grown up, Song Lan can finally change into a daughter.

"Hello, brother!" When the adults saw Li, Mantou was a sensible person and shouted to Song Yan when he came up.

"Ahem! This is not my brother. You have to call me uncle!" Tong Qian coughed twice and whispered while pulling the bun.

Steamed Bun was stunned, looking at Song Yan and then at Tong Qian.

I was thinking in my mind that Song Yan was not much taller than me, so why should he be called uncle.

"Dad! Mom is lying! Didn't you say that everyone who is this tall is called brother? Only someone who is this tall is called uncle!" Mantou pulled Song Yang and said while gesticulating.

"This...has nothing to do with height..." Song Yang said speechlessly.

"What does that have to do with?" Mantou asked.

Song Yang woke up and thought about it, and decided to record a film for Mantou when he returned to Jiangzhou.

Then I will study with Steamed Bun at home every day.

"Dad's father is called Grandpa, and Dad's mother is called Grandma..."
