Almost all the guests invited in the hall were here!

Among the guests, there were local governors like Wang Xuanling and local officials, which were equivalent to Gongcao in the former yamen.

According to the Ming Dynasty administrative organ hierarchical system, it is divided into four levels: department, cao and department from the Ministry. Some special departments are not completely governed by the three major local officials and have a certain degree of independence. For example, the Tax Department, the Commerce Department, the Transport Department, the Civil Affairs Department, etc.

There are also village chiefs with smaller official positions. They are not all invited, but those who perform outstandingly and have made great contributions will be invited exceptionally. For example, when the Ming army conquered Shandong in the old year, the village chief Zhao Yanhe, who provided help to the Ming army.

Against the backdrop of the large-scale migration of all the people in Shandong Province, most of the people in Zhaojia Village remained in Shandong. Although the subsequent news of the stable living environment of the Ming Dynasty and the fact that many people who had traveled there came back to show their opinions, a few people in the village moved to Liaodong voluntarily, overall, the foundation of Zhaojia Village was still preserved.

This village was originally a village where refugees were pieced together, and it was precisely because of the correct political stance that they obtained a ten-year grain tax exemption period. And their village did not have to hide in the reed marsh, but was moved to the vicinity of Penglai County to resettlement.

Thanks to the rapid development of commerce, their villages no longer grow grain, but instead grow fruits and vegetables, and cultivate chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep. When there was a shortage of manpower, some foreign population was recruited from refugees as a supplement to the labor force.

Not only did it inject foreign blood into the village, but it also helped to strengthen the size of the village.

Moreover, Zhaojia Village is now considered a town in scale, with a permanent population of more than 700. In addition, there are about 2,000 people who often come to do odd jobs around the country.

Such political achievements also entered the eyes of the county magistrate Ge Jing, so when he applied for the banquet, he recommended him as the situation. After the governor's yamen learned that Zhao Yanhe had made merits, he agreed without further review.

At this moment, Zhao Yanhe, who was sitting on the table and looking at the nobles in the room, was still a little nervous, and even though their Zhaojia Village had changed a lot and was considered a wealthy family in the eyes of many ordinary people, it was still not enough to compare with the high-ranking officials and big families present.

Some local gentry also noticed the existence of minor officials like Zhao Yanhe. Looking at their nervous appearance, they felt a little superior inexplicably. But when their eyes fell on the retired soldiers who sat straight but lacked arms and legs, their sense of superiority immediately restrained a lot.

Because it was these people who used powerful force to destroy the Red Coat Army entrenched in Shandong and replaced them with a master with an unstoppable attitude. And when they wanted to evade taxes, these retired soldiers who came from the army but turned civilian due to lack of physical health would have amazing business abilities that would make them unable to pay less than one son.

Even if they were lucky enough to escape at that time, if they were found out later, they would attract public security troops like wolves. When the amount was huge, they would directly confiscate their families and exterminate their families. Dengzhou and Haizhou, but there were many large families who were confiscated for tax evasion and ordered to move to the bitter and cold land.

Those who are still sitting safely on the table are all the "Zhongshun" family that are already convinced by these retired soldiers. Perhaps there are some gentry who want to take this opportunity to complain to Ulutus to show their dissatisfaction with the security army and the tax officials.

However, the most attractive thing on the field is the table closest to the main position. Half of the senior officials sitting on it followed Ulutus, and the remaining half are senior officials from the Shandong Province. For example, Governor Wang Xuanling, Governor Urianha Jimunet, King Zaluhuchi of the Provincial People's Republic of China, Tymulun, Deputy Governor of the Western Army, Qianhu Zhou Bing, Dalian Navy Qianhu, etc.

Everyone sat around the Eight Immortals Table, and the closest position to the top was Quandong. He is one of the Secretary of the Privy Council, the highest-ranking official at present, and belongs to the third rank. As for the second rank, it is naturally Ulutus. First-rank official is restricted by the national standards, and now there is no one.

As the Left Minister of Rites, Wang Wentong and the Left Minister of Rites Yu Zhenming were lucky enough to be with him. Seeing the big guys chatting and laughing in front of them, both of them were tightly restrained.

Fortunately, at this time, Ulutus, dressed in traditional uniform, entered the hall accompanied by a small number of guards and servants.

At the age of fifteen, his tenderness has gradually faded. Especially when Ulutus came, he looked more mature and steady after being dressed and decorated by his servants, as well as the green beard growing on his jaw.

But he didn't wear a Han hat on his head, nor did he tie his braids like the traditional Mongolians. Instead, he cut it into capable short hair, making the whole person look more energetic.

Hunur shouted in time, "Your Highness the King of Ming is here!"

Suddenly, the guests all stood up from their seats and knelt down to salute. Ulutus told them to sit behind them and did not dare to sit down immediately.

When I arrived at the top, the table specially arranged for Ulutus was a long table that was different from others. There were already a few pieces of food on it, but the meal had not yet been officially served.

"Everyone sit down! I came from afar to encourage you and let the Shandong Province become an inseparable part of the Ming Dynasty. It's not to scold you and punish you to stand!" Ulutus said a joke first, which made the guests no longer so nervous.

Everyone immediately echoed and did not dare, and swear to serve the Ming Dynasty to the death, and then slowly sat down. Then with the sound of a gong, the waiters immediately served the hot meal.

At the same time, right below Ulutus, the singing and dancing technicians who had already arranged a long time also came on stage to help the festive celebration.

In order to make Ulutus feel at home as much as possible, most of the technicians invited were from the Ming Dynasty. Some were from the Song Dynasty, such as the stunning women dancing off the stage. They all had slender waists and soft bodies, which simply reflected the gentleness of the Jiangnan women in their bones.

The guests present also enjoyed their whole heart and watched happily. Ulutus also liked such dances, but he prefers the own dances of the Ming Dynasty. Unlike the implicit and gentle dancers of the Song Dynasty, the court dances in the Ming Dynasty are mostly unrestrained and hot.

Generally, dancers don’t wear much clothes, and they mainly use translucent and bright colors. They do not use any fans when they dance, but swords. When performing, they especially feel the masculine beauty. In addition, the dancers’ clothes and beautiful faces are combined with the strong contrast, which is particularly eye-catching.
