Chapter 2371 Every year has the present (the last chapter of this volume)
We meet again after a long absence, and we give you careful advice, just to be able to say a few more words.
Li Xingchen felt like he was being stabbed in the heart. He was silent for a moment, then stretched out his hand to hug her: "Thank you for your hard work."
Cai Rong leaned on Li Xingchen's shoulder and said softly:
"Now is a time when everything is waiting for things to be done. Who is not working hard? Your Majesty works tirelessly and travels around the world, just to be able to be down-to-earth and see with your own eyes. I am busy for Your Majesty and for these people, so naturally it is the right thing to do."
Cai Rong's answer was beyond Li Xingchen's expectation, but considering her temperament, it was understandable.
Doctors who take it as their duty to save people and save lives naturally have lofty ideals and ethics. For Cai Rong, promoting the construction of the hospital throughout the southwest is his mission. In order to fulfill this mission, he has to be separated from His Majesty for a long time.
There is nothing intolerable.
Because what you do can truly save all people.
All the separation and all the lovesickness are worth it.
Li Xingchen wanted to say: Having Mrs. Xian is a blessing to the people of Lingnan; and having you is a blessing to all the people in the world.
But he didn't say it because he knew he didn't need to say it.
Cai Rong will never decide whether to do something just because of such praise.
She, as well as Sun Simiao and other current doctors, had their own lofty ideals, especially when they discovered that with Li Xinchen's promotion, this ideal that originally seemed unattainable was really possible.
They will naturally try their best to do it.
And Li Xingchen's praise will only add more psychological burden to them.
"Are you tired?" Li Xingchen stretched out his hand and smoothed her frown from time to time.
Among the various directions of development of the Han Dynasty, the southwest is definitely the most difficult.
The north is originally the land of the Central Plains and Hebei. It has been rich since ancient times. Even if it has been damaged by years of war, it is not difficult to restore its vitality.
Needless to say, Jiangnan, Lingnan has also developed quite well driven by the Nanyang Strategy. In recent years, it has also attracted a large number of talents to move south with its numerous employment opportunities and generous policy incentives.
As for the northwest, which is relatively poor and has a small population, now it also has the Silk Road, and the Hexi and Tuyuhun lands serve as barriers. The focus of local development can also be from external defense, and even prepare to clear the country every now and then, and completely shift to the development of industry and commerce.
People's livelihood has been restored.
Therefore, in the southwest, although the imperial court has discovered numerous mining resources after many years of hard work, and whether it is on-site mining, smelting, or export, it is stimulating local economic development, but this will eventually lead to the economic collapse of the southwest.
It feels a bit top-heavy, and a lot of daily necessities need to be brought in from outside.
Almost all the Han people who migrated to the southwest came for the development of these minerals. Those who worked in the fields were generally the Nanzhong tribes who came down from the mountains one after another.
Therefore, the population in the southwest is relatively scattered, and there are still not a large number of prosperous towns. Only the counties where the state capital is located can still be considered.
The population is scattered in the mountains, which naturally means that the construction of hospitals is also very troublesome, so much so that hospitals in the southwest even have to organize roving medical teams from time to time to go around the mountains to treat people who are inconvenient to go down the mountains.
And such an effect obviously cannot be much better, it can only be said to be better than nothing.
Li Xingchen knew that Cai Rong and the others also wanted to change this situation, but they were also unable to do anything.
It's impossible not to worry.
"All matters in this world can only be adapted to local conditions and proceed step by step." Li Xingchen held her hand and warmed her hand.
His little hands were cold, and Li Xingchen felt it just now.
Cai Rong said calmly: "After all, I don't want to live up to your majesty's trust."
"I will further organize the development of the southwest." Li Xinchen said directly, "Beyond the mountains in the southwest is Tianzhu, and that is my goal. Now the navy's fleet has been exploring along the coastline. Once we understand Tianzhu's
After learning the details, the Han Dynasty's caravans will establish commercial ties with them through the ocean and the southwest land, and by then the southwest will naturally become prosperous due to the establishment of trade routes."
Cai Rong naturally understood that Li Xingchen was not telling lies.
The end of the trade route has been transformed into a hub, and its economic boost is immeasurable.
The development of Lingnan driven by maritime trade is the best proof. Even the Han Dynasty would not be busy opening up the land Silk Road. If we want to change the obvious backwardness of development in the northwest and Guanzhong, we can only rely on trade and the Silk Road.
"I, my concubine, will obey your majesty's orders, no matter the weather." Cai Rong said seriously.
Li Xingchen gently stroked her hair: "I don't want you to be so tired."
"As long as it's worth it, what does it matter?" Cai Rong said softly.
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Li Xingchen didn't even have to think about it. The maids outside had no time to inform and were qualified to push the door open. The only one who was qualified to push the door open was Chen Xuanhua, a stinky girl.
Cai Rong was surprised and wanted to get up, but Li Xingchen stretched out his hand to hold her down and looked at the figure who turned around the screen provocatively.
I want to see how shameless a girl you are?
"Hey, are you just holding me like this?" Chen Xuanhua was surprised and immediately curled his lips, "I thought I could see some good show."
Cai Rong and Li Xinchen: "······"
Okay, I'm really not as thick-skinned as you.
Li Xingchen couldn't help grinding his teeth: "What else do you want to see?"
Chen Xuanhua was stunned for a moment and subconsciously took two steps back.
"Catch her?" Li Xingchen looked at Cai Rong.
Cai Rong nodded seriously. After all, she, the goddess doctor, was just a little girl. Being provoked by Chen Xuanhua and having His Majesty's suggestion, she naturally became more playful.
The two people suddenly separated, one on the left and the other on the right, and rushed towards Chen Xuanhua.
Chen Xuanhua also reacted very quickly, turning around and running away.
"Zhen'er!" Li Xingchen shouted.
Yu Chizhen, who followed Chen Xuanhua in with snowflakes still in her hat and a little messy hair exposed under the hat, immediately hugged Chen Xuanhua's waist.
It seems that she lost miserably in the snowball fight outside just now, so she needs to take revenge now.
Chen Xuanhua couldn't dodge in time, and before he had time to struggle, Li Xingchen had already come up from behind.
"No, don't tickle! Hahaha!" Chen Xuanhua laughed so hard that he collapsed on the ground, "I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again!"
"Will I believe you?" Li Xingchen rolled his eyes, and the two of them rolled into a ball.
Next to them, Yu Chizhen and Cai Rong looked at each other, but then smiled.
His Majesty, who is in a ball with Chen Xuanhua, is the one they fall in love with.
They have flesh and blood, emotions and righteousness.
It is not just a symbol of destiny, an authority that no one can challenge.
"The clothes are all dirty." Chen Xuanhua hugged Li Xingchen and muttered as he lost strength.
"Take a bath?" Li Xingchen lowered his voice.
"Okay." Chen Xuanhua said with a smile and leaned into Li Xinchen's ear, "Your Majesty, do you want to come with us?"
Of course Li Xingchen knew that she was talking about being together, not just the two of them.
The great devil and the female devil can easily reach an agreement on this aspect.
"You grab the one on the left, and I'll grab the one on the right." Li Xingchen ordered.
"I obey!" Chen Xuanhua agreed loudly and jumped up.
Cai Rong and Yu Chizhen, who were still laughing while watching the show, were caught off guard.
"What do you want to do?" Cai Rong has not yet reacted.
Li Xingchen chuckled and said: "The new year is coming soon, of course we need to wash away the dust first!"
As if to answer what he said, bursts of firecrackers sounded outside the palace.
The "dong dong" bell obviously announces the arrival of the first day of the sixth year of the Han Dynasty.
"Hurry up, we have to set off firecrackers later." Li Xingchen waved his hand.
Three pairs of eyes fell on him, full of disdain.
Given your ability, I'm afraid the firecrackers won't be set off until tomorrow morning.
Li Xingchen was not angry. In his opinion, wasn't this a compliment?
"Let's set off the firecrackers first!" Chen Xuanhua said directly, disrespecting the order.
Yu Chizhen and Cai Rong both agreed.
In the end, Li Xingchen's objections were ineffective, so he could only watch the little girls light the firecrackers patiently. Although the fireworks were not born, the firecrackers filled with gunpowder already looked a bit like later generations.
This made Li Xingchen feel a little confused.
From the development of the country to small items in daily life such as firecrackers. In this era, we are finally moving towards the path we have planned.
From being in troubled times and being helpless, to now being in charge of the world and turning everything upside down. Regardless of right or wrong, at least I worked hard, so I have no regrets.
The evening breeze was choppy, carrying the sound of laughter and firecrackers.
It seemed to remind Li Xingchen that there are still turbulences in the world.
The world is still in turmoil.
In the crackling firelight, Chen Xuanhua suddenly came over and asked, "Is Your Majesty happy?"
Li Xingchen calmed down, no matter what twists and turns there were in the future, he was still qualified to enjoy the happiness in front of him.
At that moment, he laughed loudly: "Happy!"
"Then I hope we can have this day every year, and this day every year!" Chen Xuanhua said loudly.
In the reflection of the firelight, the two figures gradually overlapped.
