Ascending Qiongzhou! Start the road to infrastructure!
Under the protection of three thousand elite Imperial Guards, Zhu Bai rested in the Guangzhou Prefecture for three days.
They could have left a day earlier, but they couldn't resist the warm hospitality of the Guangzhou magistrate.
After leaving Guangdong and Guangxi, Zhu Bai rented a dozen boats and set off for Qiongzhou.
Zhu Bai stood at the bow of the ship, enjoying the sea breeze as he looked at the approaching Qiongzhou.
His heart, which had been waiting for a long time, was extremely excited at this moment.
The speed of the boat was much slower than the carriage.
After leaving Guangdong and Guangxi, they boarded the ship.
After four hours, they finally saw Qiongzhou Island.
As the ship got closer and closer, Zhu Bai, who was standing at the bow of the ship, looked forward. His dark red robe fluttered in the wind.
From afar, there were many black shadows on Qiongzhou Island.
After a while, they saw a huge crowd standing on the coast of Qiongzhou.
Zhu Bai's boat slowly docked. Only then did Zhu Bai see clearly that there were thousands of people lined up on the coast of Qiongzhou!
The dozens of people in front were dressed in the official robes of the imperial court. Behind them stood some commoners in plain clothes.
Before Zhu Bai had even reached the shore, under the lead of Qiongzhou Prefecture's Magistrate Yuan Chongli, everyone on the shore knelt down in unison towards Zhu Bai.
Everyone shouted in an orderly manner,"Welcome, Your Highness King Qiong!"
Zhu Bai looked at the crowd and placed his hands behind his back, allowing the strong wind to blow his python robe.
Standing behind Zhu Bai was Xu Miaojin.
As Zhu Bai came ashore, he raised his sleeves and said in a clear voice,"Everyone, please rise!"
"Thank you, Your Highness King Qiong!"
The dozen ships behind Zhu Bai were still docked at the coast of Qiongzhou.
Qiongzhou Prefecture Magistrate Yuan Chongli had already walked up to Zhu Bai and bowed,""This subordinate is Qiongzhou Prefecture's Magistrate Yuan Chongli. Greetings, King Qiong! Greetings, Princess Consort!"
A smile hung on Zhu Bai's face as he went forward to help Yuan Chongli up. He said in a relaxed manner,"Old friends meet again. How have you been, Mr. Yuan?”
Qiongzhou Prefecture Magistrate Yuan Chongli cupped his hands again and said,""Thanks to King Qiong, I am well!”
Ever since he came to Qiongzhou and saw the desolation, Zhu Bai was extremely excited.
When he talked to Yuan Chongli, the magistrate of Qiongzhou, he would often smile.
As for Yuan Chongli, who was standing respectfully opposite Zhu Bai, he obviously had a different mindset.
At this moment, Yuan Chongli was smiling like Zhu Bai.
But it was obvious that Zhu Bai's smile came from the bottom of his heart.
Qiongzhou Prefecture Magistrate Yuan Chongli was smiling apologetically.
After the two of them exchanged some simple words, Yuan Chongli spoke of the suffering he had been suppressing in his heart.
The magistrate of Qiongzhou, Yuan Chongli, took a step back and knelt down straight in front of Zhu Bai.
"Please forgive me, Your Highness!"
Looking at the Jingzhou Prefecture Magistrate kneeling at his feet, Zhu Bai was stunned for a moment before he went to help him up.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Chongli pressed his hands on the ground and smashed his head heavily on the ground.
"Lord Yuan, what do you mean?"
"I'm useless!"
Yuan Chongli, who was kneeling on the ground, sobbed,""This Yuan has been the magistrate here for three years, but I am still poor.”
"Your Highness has saved this Yuan's life, and now that your benefactor has come, this Yuan is unable to take out a proper Imperial Residence. This Yuan is guilty!”
Zhu Bai's gaze was still looking around. At this moment, he was not in the mood to listen to Yuan Chongli's apology. He just kept looking around, looking for the best place to build his base.
After Yuan Chongli, who was kneeling on the ground, finished speaking, Zhu Bai retracted his gaze and consoled him in a serious manner,"Lord Yuan, you don't have to blame yourself. It's not your fault that there isn't a Prince's mansion. We can just build it again in the future. You can just arrange a place for us to live first.”
"If your highness doesn't mind, you can bring the generals to the yamen for a while.”
Zhu Baiyou looked into the distance and casually replied,"No problem, then I'll have to trouble Lord Yuan.”
"Oh, right."
"Lord Yuan, do you have any horses that I can borrow?" Zhu Bai asked somewhat anxiously.”
When he heard Zhu Bai ask about the horse, Yuan Chongli was instantly delighted. He hurriedly raised his head and said,"Yes, yes, yes!"
"Ma Ningyuan!"
Yuan Chongli turned around and shouted at the crowd," Hurry up and bring the horse here!”
At this moment, Zhu Bai had already helped Qiongzhou Prefecture Magistrate Yuan Chongli up." Lord Yuan, since we are old friends, there is no need to be so reserved.”
Yuan Chongli was once an official in the capital and had interacted with the Xiang King Zhu Bai for a period of time.
He knew that he and the Fourth Prince, Prince of Yan, Zhu Di, both loved riding horses and archery.
therefore
When Yuan Chongli, the prefect of Qiongzhou, knew that Zhu Bai was coming, he immediately mobilized the entire state to find a good horse.
However, Qiongzhou was too poor. It was difficult for living people to survive. How could they raise horses?
Fortunately, in the end, Yuan Chongli found a merchant who came to Qiongzhou to do fish production and spent a lot of money to buy one of his horses.
Ma Ningyuan led the horse to the front and respectfully held the reins in front of Zhu Bai.
"Your Highness, please!"
Zhu Bai smiled and nodded. He grabbed the reins and immediately mounted the horse.
He lowered his head and looked at Yuan Chongli, the magistrate of Qiongzhou, and said,""Princess Consort Qiong and my three thousand brothers will have to trouble you to settle them down!”
"This king will go and take a look."
Hearing this, Yuan Chongli was shocked and asked with concern,"" Your Highness, you can't go alone. There are barbarians on this island, or..."
Zhu Bai raised his hand to stop Yuan Chongli's words and comforted him,"It's fine. This king will just walk around here.”
Yuan Chongli did not dare to say anything else.
At this moment, he bowed again towards Zhu Bai's back.”
Riding on his horse, Zhu Bai rushed forward, leaving everyone far behind.
After sprinting for a while, Zhu Bai opened his chest and breathed in the salty sea breeze in the air.
When he rode his horse to a deserted place, Zhu Bai shouted at the top of his voice,
"Ah!"
"Qiongzhou! This king is here!"
"Ah!"
After venting a few times, Zhu Bai finally scattered the desire he had accumulated these few days.
Zhu Bai rode his horse and slowly walked along the coastline of Qiongzhou.
From now on, the territory of Qiongzhou would truly belong to him, Zhu Bai.
With a happy mood, Zhu Bai rode on horseback and followed the coastline of Qiongzhou, looking for the most suitable place to build a port.
It didn't take long before Zhu Bai found an excellent location.
This was a tall sea cliff. It was desolate and there was nothing unusual about it.
But when Zhu Bai rode his horse closer, he discovered that beneath this cliff wall, there was a huge flat land that had been washed out by the sea.
Zhu Bai dismounted and climbed down the rock.
At the bottom of the cliff, a large flat land was eroded by the sea.
Standing on this flat ground, he raised his head and looked up. The remaining rocks above were like a natural curtain, successfully creating an outer world grotto-heaven.
Zhu Bai looked at this excellent location and immediately opened the system.
