Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 486 Xiaobie wins the newlyweds

In April of the third year of Longwu, after the Ming army occupied Zhangzhou, the academician Wang Yan stopped his troops and returned to the court.

In the land of Fujian, because Zheng Zhilong sold Fujian, the Qing soldiers drove straight in, and the damage was lighter than Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Nanzhili and other places.

According to textual research, before the Qing army invaded the south, the population of Nanzhili was 800 million. After various anti-Qing uprisings, Qing army massacres and wars, the population dropped to 200 million, which was equivalent to a loss of more than half.

The Zhejiang area, because of the activities of Lu Jianguo, has also become the focus of the Qing army's attack. The population has dropped from 2000 million in 600 to 2000 million, and the loss is more than 800%.In the early years of Longwu, Jiangxi was the focus of the Ming and Qing dynasties. The population died, and a large number of clans moved south to avoid disasters, and the population dropped from [-] million to [-] million.

From these figures, it can be seen that the war against the Qing Dynasty was tragic, and the casualties paid by the gentry and the common people were as great as the disaster of the Mongols and Yuan Dynasty.

The Qing army entered Fujian before, and with Wang Yandong's expedition this time, most areas were left on the sidelines, so the damage to Bamin was not serious.

Fujian has a population of more than 500 million. After the two wars, more than a million people were lost. The imperial court recovered four or five hundred miles of rivers and mountains, and at least [-] million scholars and people returned to the imperial court.

At this time, the Longwu court directly controlled Huguang, Jiangxi, and Guangdong, with a population of nearly 3000 million. Adding these 500 million people, after a year of training, their strength would immediately increase by a quarter.

Although the land of Bamin has little grain and cannot be self-sufficient, it can bring millions of taels of income to the Zheng family every year just by relying on the trade of tea. The Nanyang rice is obtained from the sea, so Fujian is definitely worth operating.

Fujian's military affairs were entrusted to Zheng Chenggong, but the government affairs were in the hands of the imperial court. Wang Yan's report came that there were so many prefectures and counties that needed to be staffed for administration, and the affairs of the Longwu court became busy again.

After the war, production must be resumed as soon as possible. In order to ensure the summer harvest, the imperial court did everything as quickly as possible. The scholar Chen Zizhuang went to Quanzhou as the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang. The governor of Fujian set up the Fujian team.

When Wang Yan returned to Guangjing, the imperial court had basically decided on the affairs of Fujian.

On April 25th, Wang Yan took the warship to the Guangzhou pier and disembarked first, and then returned to the mansion, planning to ask his staff about the specific movements in Guangzhou during his absence.

The original mansion of Duke of Chu was handed over to the imperial court. The current mansion was originally very simple, so he was scolded by He Tengjiao for this reason. After marrying He Zhizhi, the Wang family also hurriedly repaired it, repainted it, and replaced it. The gate with copper nails was installed, the town house of Ruishou was invited, and the golden lacquer plaque was hung up. It is already very grand, with the appearance that a powerful person should have.

At this time when he walked to the door, Wang Yan was already a little unrecognizable. When he came to the door, the guards greeted him immediately when they saw this, and some of them notified inside, "Mr. Xiang is back."

When Wang Yan entered the front yard, the gentlemen of the shogunate stood in the distance and bowed respectfully when they saw him. Wang Yan quickly turned around the second hall of the lobby and stepped into the back yard.

This is the place where the family lives, the courtyard is full of flowers, pavilions, attics, small bridges and flowing water. When Wang Yan came in, he saw the pavilion extending to the middle of the pond in the distance. Holding a fan and singing softly, surrounded by a group of maids and ladies.

Seeing this, Wang Yan was a little surprised. He didn't know He Zhizhi yet, but after a few contacts, he was definitely a careless master, and he actually sang with Xu Yanyan. So wild, otherwise the dignified Mrs. Chu Guogong would make troubles outside all day, and Wang Yan would have a big headache.

Although the hobby of singing is not in the eyes of those old Taoists, the entertainment life is lacking. Many wealthy families love to listen to operas, but if they listen to too much, it is inevitable that they will be impatient for a while. I want to sing a song myself. Wang Yan also It's such a good deal, not to mention that his own theater earns a lot of money every year, He Zhizhi likes it, and there is nothing wrong with singing at home.

"It turns out that the colorful flowers are blooming all over the place, and they are all ruined like this. What is the beauty of the day, who's house is there to enjoy the pleasure?" Wang Yan only heard the sound, which turned out to be the famous aria in the Kunqu Opera "A Dream in the Garden" .

Although under Wang Yan's intervention, many operas praising the feelings of the family and the country and heroes have been produced in Kunqu opera, but Kunqu opera originated in the south of the Yangtze River after all, and it is more suitable for love between men and women, big girl and young lady, As well as the ladies, they also prefer to listen to songs such as "The Romance of the West Chamber" and "Dudan Pavilion", which are talented and beautiful, and young girls Huaichun.

There was a burst of laughter from the pavilion. Xu Yanyan was playing the pipa, but suddenly she saw a man in full armor standing beside the pond. The sound of the pipa stopped immediately.He Zhizhi was singing, but suddenly there was no sound, she couldn't help but looked at Xu Yanyan suspiciously, and then followed her gaze to look back, all kinds of emotions flashed in those eyes in an instant.

Surprise, sadness, concern, all of these turned into a face of tenderness in the end, she snapped her long sleeves away, and ran out of the pavilion in great surprise. Wang Yan was afraid that she would fall, so he hurriedly gave her a hand. Holding his little hand, He Zhizhi immediately held it tightly, unable to utter a thousand words, and finally managed to say: "You are back." As a woman, I have just experienced the taste of it, how can I not want my husband?Wang Yan looked at the flickering light in He Zhizhi's eyes, patted the back of her hand lightly, nodded and said, "I'm back."

At this time Xu Yanyan also came out of the pavilion, Wang Yan saw her, her body rolled a little bit, with one hand resting on her slightly protruding belly, but suddenly she was taken aback, her eyes widened, "This is?"

Xu Yanyan felt shy when she heard the words, He Zhizhi smiled and said: "My sister has it, it's been four months."

Wang Yan was overjoyed when he heard this, but he was at a loss. He wanted to be a father, but he was really inexperienced. After standing there for a while, he tenderly pulled Xu Yanyan's hand.

The ladies and ladies in the pavilion saw that the master would come, and it was inconvenient to see each other, and it was inconvenient to stay for a long time, so they just bowed slightly in the pavilion, and He Zhizhi hurried over to say goodbye.

Wang Yan led Xu Yanyan to the back house, and a burst of laughter came from the pavilion behind him.

In the room, the two talked for a while, and the servants said that the bath soup was ready, so Wang Yan went to wash off the dust first. He followed the maid to the bathroom and soaked comfortably in the soup. He was indeed a little tired , I closed my eyes before I knew it, and at this moment a pair of cold and soft arms suddenly wrapped around his neck~
