  Chapter 1422 Qin Bing Shangluo

   Luzon.

   Knight Academy of San Francisco.

  This newly completed building in the first year of Longshuo is one of the new landmark buildings in San Francisco, and even a new city that can stand side by side with San Francisco's Luzon King City.

  The entire Academy of Knights is a newly built castle in the southwest of San Francisco. It adopts the design of a bastion. This huge castle is called the Heptagonal Building because of its seven corners. In addition to the seven corners of the seven-cornered castle, there are fourteen triangular forts, and many half-moon forts. There are two ditches between the inner fort and the triangular forts and half-moon forts. There are sheep and horse walls.

   Such a fortress-style castle full of war flavors is the Luzon Academy of Knights.

   At this time, all the Luzon knights in San Francisco rushed to the Heptagonal Building, the Knights Square in the center of the castle, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people, and many knights have already stood there.

   "Your Highness," the attendant reminded.

  Qin Lang sat under the umbrella, nodded solemnly, "Everyone is here, then ask the angel to read the imperial edict."

   "Yes, Your Highness."

The envoy from Luoyang came out under the **** of the Luzon yamen Banzhi's personal guards. He seemed a little unaccustomed to the cold early spring in Luoyang, which suddenly became the scorching heat in Luzon. It was his official hat, which was not used to the heat here, and was covered in sweat.

  But standing in this majestic knight castle, Chen Lingzi's palms were sweaty, but not completely hot. Before coming to Luzon, this upstart **** in Luoyang Palace really didn't know that there was such a prosperous overseas country outside Luoyang, and he didn't expect that King Anguo Qi had such great influence overseas.

  I have heard many legends about Luzon and Anguo Qiwang before, but I only thought it was a legend. After all, Luzon is overseas, and it was still wild more than 30 years ago. How could it be better?

Chen Lingzi is an eunuch, originally from Yizhou in the middle of Sichuan Province, he was a rascal when he was young, and later because he owed a huge amount of gambling debts and had nowhere to escape, he left the palace cruelly and found a relationship to enter the palace and became an eunuch. The status of the palace is humble, but he is flexible, so he soon worshiped Chen Jinggong, one of the four major **** families in the palace, as his adoptive father. With the help of his foster father's influence in the palace, plus his sweet-mouthed ability to do things and his hard-working legs, he also Mixed like a fish in water.

Especially later, he came to work in the mansion of Li Xian, who was still the king of Jin, and won Li Xian's trust. The Gao family and others were purged, but the Tian family was suppressed by the Gao family because of Tian Jinggong's castration. This time, they were not qualified to participate in Gao Hu's support plan.

  The two empresses collapsed in Luoyang in two days, and the empress dowager listened to the government behind a curtain, so naturally she had to reuse eunuchs to communicate with the inside and outside.

  Chen Lingzi was also awarded as one of the envoys of the Two Hanlin Academy by virtue of being a trusted old man next to the Supreme Emperor, and became one of the nobles among the eunuchs.

  Chen Lingzi took the initiative to fight for this visit to Luzon. When he was in Yizhong, Qin Qiong was the governor of Songzhou. He had seen the power of the Qin family, and he felt it more clearly in the palace these years.

  Now after the death of the two emperors, the empress dowager and the empress dowager in the palace are both of the Qin family, and the young emperor is also Qin Lang's nephew, not to mention that the people in power in the Manchu dynasty are all descendants of the Qin family.

  If Chen Lingzi wants to secure a stable position in the palace, and even become an envoy of the Privy Council or even the Xuanhui Academy in the future, he must be inseparable from the support of the Qin family.

  He worked tirelessly to ask the Empress Dowager for this errand. Not only can he come here to make friends with the Grand Master Qin, but he can also show his loyalty to the Empress Dowager Qin.

   No matter how hard you work, it is not worth mentioning.

  After Chen Lingzi entered the palace, he also went on official errands. For example, he went to Suzhou and Hangzhou to buy goods, and even went to Liuqiu to proclaim his decree.

Before he boarded Luzon, he thought that Luzon should be similar to Liuqiu Island, a deserted island in the sea, remote and backward, just some large farms, where groups of dark Kunlun slaves worked in the fields, and then the owners of the manors It's just a country rich man.

   But after entering the San Francisco Bay by boat and boarding the city of San Francisco, I realized that I was so wrong. This place is not much worse than Suzhou and Hangzhou.

The city of San Francisco actually has a population of more than 200,000 people. The city of San Francisco along the coast of the San Francisco Bay is not just a city, but an urban agglomeration. , School City, Tooth City, etc., including this newly completed Knights Fort in San Francisco.

  Perhaps we should also include Fanfang next to it, and the free trade square at the port. Although it is called a square city, it actually has city walls, square walls, etc., which are no different from cities.

  There are no less than 100,000 people in just one Persian workshop, and more than 100,000 people in Fanfang such as Wofang and Linyifang.

  Chen Lingzi even once thought that the 6 million people in Luzon were all gathered in this bay area. After all, there are more than one million people gathered in this urban agglomeration.

Later, I learned from Taishi Qin that the reason why there are so many people in the Bay Area has nothing to do with the development plan of Luzon. There are many places in Luzon, but now the Luzon Island Standard System is implemented, that is, Luzon Island priority strategy.

   Among them, the two cities of New San Francisco are at the core to build the core area of ​​Central Luzon.

San Francisco has gathered many industries such as shipbuilding, salt drying, glass, perfume, whale blubber, sugar refining, porcelain, coinage, cotton spinning, gold processing, etc. This is a colonial economic model. The rest of Luzon has become the main island of Luzon. The resource supply area of ​​the Two Bay Areas, the Luzon New San Francisco Two Bay Area, blood-sucking development, handicraft manufacturing, and commercial trade, school education are concentrated in these two centers.

  The result is naturally that all the resources have been obtained here, the development has been accelerated, and an absolute leader has been formed.

The huge population of the two bay areas is mainly due to the fact that these manufacturing industries have settled here, bringing a large number of industrial workers, and a large number of industrial workers have also cultivated a huge consumer industry. As a cultural and economic center, the urban management here is also developing very well, and the real estate and shops are also excellent.

  Combined with the trade in the port, it has attracted many sea merchants and merchant ships to enter and exit, which has made this place develop by leaps and bounds.

In fact, this model itself is also a traditional development model in the Central Plains. For example, cities such as Beijing, Suzhou, Hangzhou and Guangzhou have become important regional centers, the centers of handicraft manufacturing and commercial trade in the region, and resources in the region are gathered in them, while other cities Local states and counties are sucked away, excellent talents, even young laborers, skilled craftsmen, etc. are sucked away, and there will be no large-scale industries, only traditional agriculture and some small shops are left. etc. In this model, big cities will become stronger and stronger, while other places will always be difficult to develop.

  So the whole of Lingnan is just a super center like Guangzhou, while other prefectural cities are still just traditional small towns, and some county towns are even no different from Xiangji.

  Luzon just did it more directly and thoroughly.

  Qin Lang spent 30 years building the two centers of San Francisco and Xinjinshan in Luzon, and then some other small port cities along the coast, and then those farms and mines extending along the river to the inland. The difference is huge.

  However, this model is also beneficial. One is to bring about the increase effect after scale, and the other is to strengthen the cohesion of Luzon, especially the control of Luzon Central.

   Thoroughly strong and weak branches. Although Luzon has conquered many areas, and even has many colonial strongholds overseas, compared with Luzon Island, the strength of other places is huge, which is not worth mentioning.

   Does not have the slightest ability to fight against Central Luzon.

  The standard system of Luzon Island is another standard system of Guanzhong in the Western Han Dynasty. It is essentially a strong stem and weak branches, and it is also a concentrated force to give priority to the development of the core area.

  Thirty years later, the effect has come out.

  Chen Lingzi, an Imperial Academy envoy from Luoyang, was also shocked, and became more respectful of Lu Song's attitude towards Qin Lang and Lu Song's vassal knights.

   Just like this, his palms were full of sweat.

  Looking at the knight square in the center of this huge newly built knight castle, a square that can accommodate tens of thousands of people, it is so huge and majestic.

And those thousands of Luzon knights standing in the square were so neat and solemn, which made Chen Lingzi even more shocked. Qin Lang was able to develop San Francisco so well in an overseas wilderness, but he could still manage these retainers like this. What's more.

   No wonder he can command Nanyang, no wonder Qin Lang can't do anything about hitting the wall even if he can give Shizu a headache.

   No wonder Gaozong specifically mentioned this An Guoqi king when he was in danger.

   "His Royal Highness King Qi, Anguo,"

  Qin Lang nodded to Chen Lingzi, "Please read the imperial edict!"

  Chen Lingzi responded, please issue the edict and read it to the Luzon officials.

  Qin Lang took the lead and knelt down to receive the imperial edict, but he already knew the purpose of the imperial edict, and he had already calmed down about the huge changes in Luoyang City.

   Li Yin collapsed.

  Three-year-old Li Ye was established as the prince, and then passed on to the throne by Nei Chan. Half a day later, the emperor died, and the chief executives stood up in the palace late at night.

  Great changes in the DPRK and China, but the handover went smoothly and the transition was smooth.

  This can even be called a blessing in misfortune. It is said that Li Zhao's life is short and he even took the medicine indiscriminately, but he was able to do a few very remarkable things at the critical moment.

Before he died, he secretly took away the Supreme Emperor Li Yin, and before he died, he came to pass on the throne of Inner Chan, and even invited the Queen Mother to witness, which completely eliminated the possibility of disputes about the succession of the throne after his death, and even the throne. The possibility of falling into the hands of his younger brother Li Hong.

  Traveling like a tightrope, but steady.

  Empress Qin, who is in her twenties, is now the empress dowager.

  The only danger is that the emperor is only three years old and too young, and the empress dowager is only in her twenties and has little experience.

  However, with a father as powerful as Qin Lang sitting in the South China Sea, as long as Qin Lang does not enter the court, not only will he not threaten the young emperor, but he can even deter any other people who have wronged intentions.

  Luoyang gave Qin Lang a bunch of various awards, including the title given to Qin Lang by the last edict of the Supreme Emperor, some from the court officials in the name of the new emperor, and some from the Qin family in the name of the Queen of Heaven.

  There are more than 3,000 pieces of relics from the two deceased emperors alone, and there are also 1,000 pieces of rewards from the new emperor who succeeded to the throne.

  All kinds of titles given to Qin Lang, the rewards of titles and ranks given to Qin Lang's descendants, and those who have grown up and have no official positions are also given jobs by their families.

   "Grand Master, the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty, as well as the officials in charge of the imperial court, please leave immediately for the Grand Master to go to Shangluo and enter the court to rule and serve as the first assistant to the Son of Heaven."

  Qin Lang shook his head.

  He knew that there were probably not many people who really hoped for him to enter the court. How many would really like to have a veteran of the Five Dynasties riding on their necks and dictating?

   I'm afraid that even her daughter, Queen Mother Qin, is full of contradictions in her estimation. She wants him to have someone to rely on, but also fears that Yang Jian's old example will repeat itself.

   So I still won’t go.

   "The new emperor of Luoyang has ascended the throne, and the center of the court is also stable, so I will not go. I am old and my old arms and legs cannot move. The journey to Luoyang is hard and I can't bear it."

Chen Lingzi thought to himself, Grand Master, you, a veteran of the Five Dynasties, are only in their early fifties, and if you are strong, you can kill a cow. I heard that you can go surfing in the sea every day, run horses and play ball, and even dance with a 120-jin sword. Flowers come out, you are old and old, open your eyes and talk nonsense.

  However, Chen Lingzi did not refute, but only said a few words on the scene. In fact, Qin Lang refused to go north, but he was relieved. The most important secret mission in Luzon this time was completed.

  Qin Lang will not go to Luoyang.

  But he still expressed his willingness to send young children and grandchildren to Luoyang to worship the ancestor Gaozong and meet the new emperor. At the same time, he also said that he would take out two million guan and send them to Luoyang together as a tribute to the new emperor.

   There will be a huge pilgrimage group going north from Luzon. In addition to his adult sons and grandchildren, many officials and knights from Luzon will also go north with him.

  They will also bring 1,000 Luzon elites to serve as guards for the new emperor in Luoyang for a year.

  Qin Lang’s actual actions showed Lu Song’s support for the central court of Luoyang, and also expressed his loyalty and support to the emperor’s grandson.

  Who dares to show any disrespect, Luzon will be the first to crusade.

   Logically speaking, Qin Lang should personally lead the team to Luoyang.

But he was worried about causing unnecessary suspicion, so he just didn't bother, and let his children and grandchildren take their place. Paying two million coins is considered a show of loyalty. As for the thousand Luzon elite soldiers, they were sent to his daughter Qin Backed by the Queen Mother.

   This was against the rules, after all, the imperial court did not ask Qin Lang to send Lu Song soldiers to Luo Fan.

   But Qin Lang sent a thousand elite soldiers to go, and the court couldn't say anything. If her daughter had these thousand elite soldiers from Luzon to guard the North Gate, she would be more confident.

   No one dared to bully this orphan and widow again.

  From the son-in-law of the emperor of the ancestors, to the brother-in-law and teacher of the emperor of the ancestors, to the father-in-law of the emperor Gaozong, and then to the grandfather of the younger emperor, the status and titles have changed again and again.

   But what remains unchanged is the King of Luzon.

  Although Luoyang is prosperous, it is no longer his home.

  Luzon in the South China Sea is Qin Lang's home.
