Nowadays, the focus of the Southeast Military Mansion has shifted from Beigang to Tainan, that is, Orange City. The Dutch laid a foundation, and Yan Changwu followed it, but re-planned it. The Governor's Mansion was built into a Western-style two-story building structure with a red roof.

The structure, but there is a Chinese-style garden and pond behind it, looks a bit nondescript.

Chen Zhongji was a little disappointed, but after hearing Yan Changwu say "this is a post station", he understood that the young warlord's journey was between the stars and the sea, and that he would have a better mansion in the future, so he didn't say anything more.

The sound of firecrackers bid farewell to the old year, and before you know it, it will be three years (three years from the beginning to the end)!

Time flies so fast. On the 29th of the year, Yan Changwu held a "New Year Reunion Party" with the characteristics of the country and the DPRK. He invited military and political members, production experts, large taxpayers, social sages and their military relatives to attend together.

He held a big food party and feasted on the delicacies of the Southeast Army Mansion, many of which were his "creations".

The mountains of delicious food at the banquet were very shocking. It is located near the coast and specializes in seafood, which became the protagonist of the banquet dishes.

Various dishes were piled up, such as sea fish, sea shrimp, beef soup, southeastern meatballs, oyster omelette, fried flower branches, French fries, etc. The whole banquet hall was filled with aroma and everyone was beaming with joy.

Of course, the leader must give a speech before the meeting. He first introduced the influential figures in various industries, and especially thanked Yang Tiansheng, who was still stranded in Taiwan, for the silver he sent!

Then he wished everyone a good year and made a year-end summary: "...We still achieved some results. With the blessing of Mazu, our Southeast Military Mansion had a bumper harvest of grain. (The specific number was not stated. After all, it was still a bumper harvest.

Keep a low profile, if outsiders know the extent of their food harvest, they will be really shocked), we defeated the Dutch (the red-haired Fanstrom sitting at the same table smiled slightly), we built a strong army, we have

Abundant financial resources and manpower... Looking forward to the new year, we believe we will do better. Everyone works hard and makes money. I guarantee that everyone's life will bloom like sesame seeds and get better and better!"

In the warm applause, Yan Changwu ended his speech. At this time, he had a sunny smile on his face, just like everyone's boy next door. Some guys who didn't know why even wanted to seduce their rich husband. All those who followed him

Among his subordinates, no one dared to look down upon him. Yang Tiansheng and Chen Zhongji, who helped him rise to the top, felt very sad in their hearts!

…

At the end of the banquet, Yan Changwu distributed New Year's money to the children of the main members of the system on the spot, while servants distributed it to other children everywhere. As the boss, all he gave out were silver coins!

He complained: "I suffered a big loss and I don't even make enough to get it back!"

Yes, he only received one piece of new year's money, which was ten small gold coins (twelve taels of gold) given by Yang Tiansheng.

Unknowingly, others are no longer qualified to give him lucky money. His status in the system is too high!

He began to taste the feeling of being "a loner", especially after he won the victory against the Netherlands. Everyone knew that he could kill people, so no one from the elders called him "nephew" and called him by his title.

In addition to the New Year's money, he also gave three thousand silver dollars to his future wife, plus a lot of local specialties, and asked Yang Tiansheng to take them back.

…

On the eve of New Year's Eve, Yan Changwu declined invitations from others and stayed at his house to stay up late. Accompanying him were Shuang'er and Uncle Zhang. Shuang'er was bought by the Yan family. He didn't know where his family was, and Zhang

Bo Ze has a complete family, but he has never been in the habit of going home to celebrate the New Year. He used to accompany his old master, but now he only stays with his young master.

Seeing the girl's flowery appearance and the wrinkled face of the old man, Yan Changwu felt peaceful and happy in his heart.

After going through a lot of ups and downs, they became his family. Last year, he felt bottomless and uneasy, which also brought sorrow to their hearts and made them look stern.

This year, I finally took root and settled down. They were very happy and I could have a meal with them comfortably.

However, as he and Chen Zhongji said, this place is just a "station". He has a huge plan, just like a sailing battleship in the sea fog, which needs to be perfected and implemented.

He started his career in the navy and believed in the sea god "Mazu". Such a ruling structure made it difficult for him to intervene in the struggle for hegemony on the mainland!

How can Poseidon go ashore? The navy can bombard the coast, and the marines can occupy coastal cities, but they can no longer go deep inland.

You don’t have to take over Beijing, you definitely have to fight with the old wild boar skin!

The current strength is still insufficient, Yan Changwu thought silently, he needs people, money, and ships!

He asked Shuang'er: "How is the work of your intelligence bureau doing?"

"We are still sending personnel to station in various places to collect information on the situation in various places, including Quanzhou, Fuzhou, Xiamen, Yuegang, and Chaoshan areas. We have also sent scouts to scout the entire island of Taiwan." Shuang'er replied.

She briefly introduced the information collected by the Intelligence Bureau, including local population, production, garrison, important figures, maps, etc. The files have been established.

"Very good, but we can also include Batavia and Luzon Island as intelligence gathering places!" Yan Changwu ordered her.

The girl said obediently: "Yes!"

She still didn't know what was going on, but Zhang Bo was slightly stunned and then returned to normal.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Shuang'er left to take care of the housework. Uncle Zhang drank tea with Yan Changwu. He smiled and said: "Master, Shuang'er is managing the Intelligence Bureau very well now. She got started very quickly. The current Intelligence Bureau staff

They are proactive in their work, consider themselves to be royal guards, and are quite arrogant."

"How dare they disobey?" Yan Changwu asked.

"Of course I don't dare to be disobedient, but in order to better control them, Master, why not let Shuang'er enter? And there are currently few people in the middle school, so some etiquette is not very beneficial." Seeing Yan Changwu's uncomprehending look, Uncle Zhang said straightly: "

Chen Zhongji recently took a concubine and gave birth to a child. This kind of thing is of course a good thing, but as a young master, it is not easy to celebrate it (you are going to celebrate the birth of a concubine from another family, are you the neighbor Lao Wang? The person in charge)

? Chen Zhongji has become a successor, and it will not be good for anyone's reputation if he tells it.) It is most appropriate for Shuang'er to go as a woman from the Yan family!"

"It makes sense! But is it feasible to take a concubine before marrying a wife?"

"Of course it's no problem! Don't worry if the mistress passes away. In the future, the legitimate son (the son born by the mistress) will be the first heir!" Uncle Zhang explained.

"Well, next year, before the Spring Festival next year, Shuang'er can get started!" Yan Changwu said with a smile.
Chapter completed!
