The banquet was gone, leaving only a mess and the remaining aroma of food and wine.

A touch of sunset reflects the red and blue waves rippling across the vast Langya Coast. The construction site of the more than ten-mile long harbor pier for a busy day slowly calmed down. The fishing boats that went out to sea were creaking and rowing to the shore. Many civilians who brought their families also rose fire near the beach to start cooking. In the distance, there were several return ships coming to Langya Bay.

The mountains of wood, sand, gravel, cement, steel and other building materials piled up on the coast, and the high and low booms and scaffolding stand silently in the sunset and sea breeze. On the simple dock on the coast, hundreds of fishing boats of all sizes are docked.

Seven or eight tall sea boats floated near the coast, and the masts on the ship stood tall, pointing to the increasingly dimming sky.

Above the sky, a few faint starlight began to appear, and the surroundings became more and more quiet. Slowly, lights began to flash on the fishing boats and sea boats. Finally, the bay line more than ten miles long, the nearby Langya County town and the gathering place where the surrounding villagers gathered together, gathering together, illuminating the night of the entire Langya Coast.

In some villages where local fishermen gather, young people light bonfires and sing and dance together, attracting a large number of civilians, women, children and children to watch the fun and play. The locals also sell some iced rice noodles, dried fish, steamed buns and other snacks to supplement their household expenses. Among them, you can occasionally see Confucian scholars with wide sleeves, alchemists with Taoist buns and tulips, crew members with short-sleeved hemp shoes, and even officials wearing official robes and uniforms. In the joy and excitement, there will occasionally be a few giggles from women.

"Oh, Lord Liu, you are here. I have to let me accompany you tonight~~"

This is a pheasant who came to earn extra money from Quyuan in Langya County.

Chen Xu and Shui gently rode their horses side by side, walked slowly along the Langya coast, and watched the rare night scenery.

If this situation was in later generations, it would be impossible for even a small town by the sea to catch up. But at present, this is the most lively time in Langya. There is no curfew in the wilderness. With the opening of this huge project, a construction army of tens of thousands of people suddenly poured into this once deserted beach. Moreover, the court spent 80 million yuan here, and with the investment of Chen Xu himself and private merchants, the funds poured in the entire Langya are nearly 200 million yuan, and the sound of copper coins falling from the ground all day long are heard everywhere.

What does 200 million mean? That is half of the investment of the entire Dongfangdao.

But now, it has been hit on the deserted beach of Langya, which is only more than ten miles in length, and huge funds have completely submerged the beach.

The money saved will be saved and taken home when they get it, but the money that is not saved will be consumed directly in the local area. Drinking and eating meat makes girls gamble. In fact, because the money comes too quickly, they have fallen into another new lifestyle. In addition, in order to satisfy the needs of these tens of thousands of people, merchants who are optimistic about the future development of Langya have also spent a lot of money to buy land, buy property and invest in building houses near Langya County and the wharf, and open various gardens, miscellaneous houses, restaurants and catering, etc., which has nearly doubled the area of ​​Langya County in just a few months. A large number of newly built houses emerged like bamboo shoots after a rain, and the scale of the formation is more popular and lively than Hangzhou.

Chen Xu's place is just one mile away from the newly built harbor. There is a huge yard with more than ten houses scattered in height. The model is still based on Qinghe Garden and integrates Quyuan Restaurants, hotels and shops. However, the decoration style is very consistent with the characteristics of the southeast coast, and most of them are wooden buildings.

Chen Xu and Shui Qingrou walked around the beach and returned to the restaurant. It was the end of Xu. The lively beach had begun to calm down slowly. People who had been busy all day had already begun to sleep.

"Langya is really too lively. It seems that it will not be worse than Wu Zhong in the future!"

After washing up, I changed into loose and clean pajamas, stood in front of the window on the second floor of the hotel, and looked at the long and sparse coast with the lights gradually sparse, and the water leaned gently in Chen Xu's arms and said softly.

"Well, after all the harbor projects are completed, Langya will definitely become the largest and most lively place in the East China Sea. It will definitely not be worse than Wuzhong within ten or twenty years. But if you look at it for a longer time, I am afraid that a group of prosperous cities with a population of hundreds of thousands or even millions will soon rise in the south. The head of Gusu, Juzhang, Dongye, Panyu and other places will soon develop rapidly, because the focus of navigation in the future will quickly shift to the south. Once the route to the west is explored, a large number of cargo and population transactions will be immediately exchanged in the South China Sea. Langya is too close to the north, and Yingzhou and North Korea are too barbaric and deserted to support a larger-scale maritime development. The role of Langya Port is to communicate with the Great River Basin, the southeastern counties and the Yingzhou of North Korea. The future development is also limitless. This is actually my original plan. The focus of the flat road plan is actually the south..."

Chen Xu hugged Shui Qingrou and sat in front of the window, looking at the quiet sea and the stars in the sky, and told Shui Qingrou about the plan and future prospects of the flat road plan.

"The south is hot all year round, and the food, fruits and other products are rich. It is indeed a good place, but Lingnan is too wild, especially near Hainan, Guangxi. If there are no large sea boats, it will probably take half a year to come and go!" Shui Qingrou nodded slightly.

"So this is why I want to vigorously build a harbor dock and sea boat. At present, a twenty-foot sea boat can transport tens of stones of grain at a time. It may only take ten days to get from Langya to the South China Sea. The consumption on the road is almost negligible. However, if 10,000 stones of grain are transported from the Central Plains to the South China Sea through boats, the consumption of artificial livestock and the loss of chariots and horses is at least ten times higher. This is the power of sea transportation. The future world will inevitably be above the sea. Whoever can control the sea and who can dominate the sea power will be able to rule the world. My hope is that no matter where we go to the world in the future, we can hear people say familiar Central Plains words!"

"Do you just want to go out in the future and avoid getting lost?" Under the night, Shui Qingrou's eyes were gentle and bright.

"That's, in order to let people all over the world learn my Chinese language well, I have already thought about it. After the Qin Dynasty unifies the world in the future, they will be allowed to take language exams, and those who have passed the exam can become officials!" Chen Xu nodded seriously and said.

"What is the language test?" Shui Qingrou's eyes widened and brighter, and her beautiful face was full of doubts.

"Language grading is a language grading test. By giving some questions, the test tests the ability of foreigners to learn the Daqin dialect, such as reciting the Book of Songs, writing the Tao Te Ching, singing and tongue twisters..."

"What is a tongue twister?" Shui Qingrou's eyes became brighter.

"The tongue twister is a homonym of homonyms. It is very interesting but difficult to pronounce. The test requirement is to read it quickly and you can't make mistakes. If you make mistakes, you will lose. My husband will teach you a paragraph. You can also teach others in the future... Cough cough... Looking at a lot of dust, a turtle squatted on the gray, a ghost squatted on the turtle. The ghost carries the water with no problem, and the tail of the turtle is wet. The turtle asks the ghost to compensate for the tail of the turtle, and the ghost wants the turtle to compensate for the water with the ghost... How about it, this paragraph is the simplest, you can't learn it!" Chen Xu asked with a gentle smile on his arms.

The water is gentle:...

"Well, it seems to be too simple. My wife has been smart since she was a child. Let's talk about it for a while. Cough cough... a river under the mountain..."

"Wait~" Shui Qingrou reached out and pressed Chen Xu's mouth, her face was a little dazed, "What the hell did you say just now? Can you say it again? I...I didn't hear it clearly just now..."

Half an hour later, the window with the candle lit up and a sound came out.

"Madam, it's late at night. Let's sleep early. Tomorrow, I will have to inspect the fleet of the Maritime Academy..."

"It's just the hour of the year, and you're not sleepy yet. I want to learn another tongue twister..." The gentle voice was full of coquettishness and expectation.

"Well, okay, this time I will teach you an ultimate tongue twister. This tongue twister is known as the ultimate password king for grabbing red envelopes. It is very difficult and can be regarded as epic difficulty. The only requirement is that the faster the better..."

When the lights were blowing out the wax, a yawning sound came from the room as it dimmed: "Red carp, green carp and donkey, red donkey, green donkey and carp, remember not!"

"Please say it slowly, what a donkey..."

"Red carp, green carp and donkey, red donkey, green donkey and carp." This time Chen Xu read it slowly word by word.

"Yeah, remember!"

"Just remember. If you recite it ten times in one breath, you will pass the exam. The lady will practice slowly and go to bed first for your husband!"

So in the dark and quiet night, the guards and musketmen who were patrolling and ambushing in the yard heard their marquis muttering about the red and green carp and a donkey with unknown color in the bedroom, and finally they were drowsy like hypnosis.

"Husband, I've read it..."

At midnight, Chen Xu, who was sleeping sweetly, woke up from his sleep by the sound of surprise. After listening to the red carp, green carp and donkey for several minutes, he couldn't fall asleep. His mind was buzzing. When he closed his eyes, he saw a bunch of carp and donkeys of various colors swam around. When he got up at dawn, he found that the water gently slept next to him in a very peaceful manner. His beautiful cheeks in his sleep were still filled with a happy and satisfied smile.

"Mr. Marquis, are you not taking good care of the hotel? You don't seem to have a good sleep?"

Chen Xu went downstairs with two dark circles in his eyes, and came to the restaurant early in the morning to greet Cao Shen and Hu Kuan who were waiting, both of them were confused.

"It's okay, it's not that the hotel is not well taken care of, it's just..." The stairs behind him sounded, and Chen Xu turned around and saw the gentle water dressed and washed downstairs after going downstairs, with a radiant spirit.

"I have seen the Marquis' Concubine!" Cao Shen and Hu Kuan all bowed softly to Shui with a sudden look on their faces.

"Husband, I want to go to see the Marine Fleet with you today!" Shui Qingrou said after saluting Hu Kuan and Cao Shenfu.

Chen Xu smiled and said, "I didn't wake you up when I saw you sleeping soundly? Well, hurry up and eat some food and go together!"

"It is an honor for my Maritime Academy to be able to come. There is still half an hour left to start. I have already prepared early. Please, please, please, please!"

Cao Shen quickly bowed and led the two to the restaurant. At this time, the private room in the restaurant had prepared buns, steamed buns, noodles, rice, eggs, and various pickled side dishes. You set up a large table in a dazzling array.

"It's just breakfast, why should it be so complicated? Don't waste it like this in the future. These money are all national taxes. It should be taken from the people and used for the people. You two have not eaten yet, so use some together!"
