Chen Jiali did not stay overnight, only a few strands and a little odor that did not disappear on the pillow.

This wooden house by the lake soon saw another person, Mrs. Dong Gao. Gao gave Princess Jin Suo a pair of jasper bracelets, and Jin Suo opened her mouth and called her aunt. Gao first was taken aback, and then he laughed and praised. She likes Guo Shao's little daughter very much and spends most of her time here with Jinsuo.

At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, a fleet of Jiaolong Army will go south from Haizhou to deliver more armaments for Cao Bin in Guangnan. Guo Shao planned to go a little further away from Beijing, personally patrol his warships in the harbor, and practice for the Jiaolong army generals.

After the first snowfall in Tokyo, it was clear again. It was a good weather for traveling. There is still snow on the branches of the street, like white flowers blooming, and beautiful colors glowing in the bright sunshine, and the wind blows like catkins, adding a bit of vitality to the silent winter.

Longjin Bridge is connected to the South-North Central Axis Avenue of the Outer City, looking north to the Zhuque Gate of the inner city gate, the brigade canopy flag honor guard passes here mightily, the armor of the guarding horsemen is shiny, and the flaming shoulder scarf is waving in the wind. , Very eye-catching.

In such a platoon, it looks like royal family members are traveling. Pedestrians avoided the intersections of Hengjie, let the road wait and see, and the people in the market also stood by the side of the road and watched the excitement.

A four-carriage was surrounded by palace men and military generals, and the curtain on the carriage was slightly opened.

Guo Shao looked out of the carriage and saw a familiar sight straight away. In front of a shop at the corner of Hengjie, hoes, shovel, kitchen knives, etc. were all placed outside the shop. Smoke was emitting from the roof and the fire flickered inside.

There are flags hanging at the door of this blacksmith's shop with only one word written on it: yellow. There is no need to write words such as the blacksmith shop, and the things on the stalls and on the shop floor are even signs.

On the bench outside the smithy sits an old man with a pale head, raising his head and looking over with dim eyes. At this time, a middle-aged man who was still naked in the winter came out of the shop to watch, followed by a woman with a head wrapped, holding a bowl and walking to the old man.

Guo Shao showed a casual smile on his face, as if he was greeting the old man. He didn't have a condescending mood at all. Perhaps looking at life from another angle, the old man's complete and peaceful life was no less humble than anyone else. Guo Shao observed for a while, there was only one acquaintance left here, there was no one he cared about, and the carriages and horses gradually drove across the street, and he lowered the curtain.

There is another person on the large carriage, Zhaoyi 6 Lan, she is also the only woman who drove on this trip. Seeing that she was also looking at the outside scene, Guo Shao said, "Did Zhaoyi see the blacksmith shop?"

6 Lan turned his head back, nodded and said: "I saw it."

Guo Shao smiled and said: "My previous home was there."

6 Lan was stunned, and covered his mouth with a smile: "Didn't your Majesty live in Guo Mansion before? I also lived in the mansion when I first arrived in Tokyo."

Guo Shao stopped his smile and said solemnly: "Earlier. When I was young, I stayed in Daming Mansion and Hezhong Mansion. I didn't have a house of my own. I lived in a barracks with soldiers. After I moved to Tokyo, the original old house was That blacksmith's shop. The ban on the army's salary is cash, and I bought it with the army's salary."

6 Lan Baili's red face was surprised: "I never heard your Majesty mention it."

Guo Shaodao: "If you don't believe me, you can go back and ask Yulian. I don't need to mention it to others, because there were not many people I met during that period and it was meaningless to others."

Six Lan hurriedly said: "How can I not believe what your Majesty said."

Guo Shao said in a casual tone: "There is a small alley behind that side street. Yulian's house was there before. I hired her to wash, cook, and do chores. The old man with white beard sitting at the door was named Huang. He is also the old blacksmith I once hired. Now the world is getting peaceful day by day. Huang Tiejiang's family has a shop in the downtown area and has craftsmanship. I think it is pretty good."

6 Lan whispered: "It turns out that Your Majesty still has many memories."

Guo Shao stretched out and held her little hand, 6 Lan's palm also had a cocoon, just like Yulian. He rubbed the cocoon and said, "I also have a lot of memories with you. I remember that you were a teenage girl when I first met. Sometimes I think that people are not just a body, but a process, and memory is to distinguish oneself. Process."

6 Lan listened quietly, looking thoughtful. When Guo Shao stayed with her, the most special feeling was that he could always find a peaceful state of mind.

The wooden wheels of the carriage outside whispered, and the carriage shook slightly. The road continued without interruption. Guo Shao looks back on the past and looks forward to the journey he has not traveled.

...The brigade must first travel along Bianshui to Songzhou when leaving Tokyo, then pass through Xuzhou, and then go to Haizhou.

Outside Tokyo, there are large tracts of housing, and the market is prosperous and densely populated. This is an "attached city". The population of big cities is very large, but the population is relatively concentrated, and the agriculture-based countries cannot yet form an urban belt. When the horses and horses walk through the city, there are large fields of farmland and villages dotted with them.

Above the plain village, from time to time there is a soil yard with black smoke, which is a workshop that uses coal to boil manure. The gunpowder saltpeter used by Xu Jun is not much derived from saltpeter mines, and more of it comes from such a compost workshop; the residual material is the necessary fertilizer for the large farms nearby.

On the banks of Bianshui River, there are several cities towering up, like the acropolis of Tokyo, but many black smoke rises above the city. A huge metal crashing sound can be heard far from the post road.

On the quiet farmland, these smoking monsters are very abrupt. After many years, people nearby may have become accustomed to it.

In Guo Shao's eyes, these workshops are just sparks of fire. They broke the tranquility of crows and dogs, and awakened the sleeping earth. Guo Shao believed that one day greater productivity would make many empires more prosperous and lively.

The thick smoke dyes the black and blue sky, just like the distinctive traces Guo Shao engraved here.

Guo Shao went east along the post road, patrolling his country along the way. The land along the way was just a corner of the country, and it took several days.

By the time they arrived in Haizhou, the Dragon Army was waiting in the harbor for the entire ship, and it was postponed because of waiting for the emperor. Guo Shao transferred the pig and sheep to the army, and at the port, the dragon army gave a banquet that night to entertain the commanders and generals going south. Haizhou Port was full of hustle and bustle all night, as if celebrating the festive season.

Early the next morning, Guo Shao sent the generals to board the ship by the sea, but he did not get on the ship. Guo Shao did a lot of things to establish the Dragon Army, regardless of the establishment, weapons, and warships, but he has never been on a sea-going ship, and he may not ride in the future... No one allows such a thing, regardless of the battle of the Dragon Army. No matter how big the ship is, the sea route is still the most risky route.

So he could only watch from the shore. The sea breeze on the pier is constant, but the weather is clear and the sea and sky are clear. Guo Shao's cloak and sheepskin coat were swayed against his body by the wind, and he was still standing firmly on the pier in his youth.

Under the bright sunshine, the blue color of the sky and the water is more beautiful, and the white canvas is full of the sea, just like the white clouds in the sky. Bells, drums, and horns played in unison with the rushing of the waves, countless soldiers on the boat shouted and clamored, and the elegant wings of seagulls glide over the water and screamed. The sea is the most lively place.

Guo Shao squinted his eyes and watched the giant lightship slowly go away, looking at the endless journey of the fleet, his chest was unprecedented.

This is not the end, but the new beginning of a world.
