"Crackling! Crackling!" Strings of firecrackers sounded in the streets, saying goodbye to the old and ushering in the new. Cuibao County finally ushered in the new year!
The streets were full of joy, everyone hung up red lanterns, posted upside down blessings, and every household put on new couplets.

Perhaps the big rock of Tiger Village that had been weighing on their hearts was completely removed, and they all had joyful smiles on their faces.

Cheng Bingling was walking on the street planning to buy something for the New Year, but unexpectedly, because everyone knew that she was the wife of the Fourth Prince, along the way, everyone enthusiastically loosened Cheng Bingling's many things, such as couplets, pork, and chicken ...What, anyway, all the items that can best express my gratitude have been sent.

The ancient people are simple, warm and hospitable, and the kindness of a drop of water will surely be repaid by the spring!

Cheng Bingling saw that she had gained a lot. She hadn't bought anything yet, and that was all.She kept smiling and told the folks not to give it away, but in the end she couldn't hold back their enthusiasm, so she had to accept it.

Back at the mansion, Cheng Bingling once again showed her skills, and her cooking skills were once again praised by everyone. I don’t know if the food I ate was all sent by the villagers. There is a unique heart from the villagers. Cheng Bingling thinks this The dish this time was the most delicious and perfect meal she had ever cooked!

Elizabeth was very self-conscious and ate up all the dishes. No one thought that her small body actually had a big iron stomach, and the appetite of one person was as much as that of three big men!
Cheng Bingling was dumbfounded.

At this moment, Lv Li came from a distance, and she smiled and said, "My lord, my concubine, there are people looking for them outside. They really want to say that they are the family of Mr. Ya."

After Alexander recovered from his injuries at Shang Jinnan's place, he wrote a letter and asked someone to send his letter home.

Counting the days now, Alexander's family should also receive a letter.

Cheng Bingling looked at Alexander with a smile: "Let's go, your family is here."

Alexander's family was already waiting in the hall.

Unlike their robes and skirts, they are wearing Western European clothes——

White wide long sleeves, and slim linen trousers underneath.

Cheng Bingling hadn't seen this kind of modern clothing for a long time, and he was pleasantly surprised when he saw it suddenly.However, what do these two people say in front of them? Judging from their temperament, appearance and clothes, they don't look like Alexander's family members, but look like servants.

Sure enough, when the two saw Alexander and Elizabeth, they quickly stood up and said respectfully, "Master! Miss! Master has always been worried about you!"

After hearing this, Cheng Bingling had a clear expression on his face, sure enough.

Alexander and Elizabeth were also pleasantly surprised to see them.They talked to each other and briefly explained their recent affairs.Those two people also expressed their intention to pick up Alexander and the others today.

Alexander suddenly felt a little reluctance in his heart.Although he wanted to go back home and reunite with his family before, but now he is going to be separated from his new friends, this young man who is underage can't help but feel a little bit sad.

Cheng Bingling congratulated with a smile: "Alexander, you can go home now. Congratulations."

Alexander got acquainted with Cheng Bingling in the past few days, and he changed from his usual serious appearance. He smiled and said, "Well, thank you very much for taking care of me and Elizabeth these few days."

Elizabeth raised her face. Here, she likes Cheng Bingling very much. She took Cheng Bingling's hand and said softly, "Miss, can you go back with us? Let me show you my room. There are many interesting things in it." It's something!"

"Really?" Cheng Bingling looked at Elizabeth's appearance, and exclaimed in her heart that she was cute, and then she rubbed Elizabeth's head: "Next time, my sister will come to play with you next time."

"Really?"

"Well, Elizabeth is so cute, I kid you not!"

"Pull the hook!" Elizabeth had a bright smile on her face, and she stretched out her hand.

"Pull the hook!" Cheng Bingling also stretched out his hand and hooked Elizabeth's snow-white little finger, and the two made an agreement.

Two servants—

Tony said: "You must be the fourth princess." His Chinese is not proficient, and with a sense of humor, he respectfully saluted Cheng Bingling: "Fourth princess, our master knows that it is your generosity. You have helped the young master and miss so much, so we specially asked us to send you a gift, I hope you will like it. The gift is on the other side of the bay, please go and have a look with us."

Huh?Gifts at bay?

Cheng Bingling readily agreed: "Then let's go and have a look!"

Cheng Bingling and the others came down to the bay under the leadership of Tony, and found that many ordinary people had stayed in the bay. They opened their mouths with surprise on their faces.

A giant ship is docked above the bay!
Inside the former prefect's mansion.

According to the common sense, Shang Jinnan can live in the mansion of the prefect Qian generously after he solves the prefect Qian, but because Shang Jinnan is a bit concerned that this is the place where the prefect Qian lived, so he still lives in the place he bought. Inside the small house, Prefect Qian's home became his office.

Prefect Qian raised a bunch of aides himself.

When Shang Jinnan first took over the affairs of Prefect Qian, after he kicked away one or two cunning, restless old fritters, the remaining staff obediently submitted to him. Besides, in the days that followed, Shang Jinnan's Means... No, it was their personal charm that convinced them.

Who wouldn't want to follow a powerful master to achieve their own career and realize their ambitions?This group of staff members obviously had great ideals, so they all cooperated with Shang Jinnan's work very much.

Today, Shang Jinnan spread out the topographic map of Baocui County drawn in the past few days, and discussed with his staff how to make Baocui County rich.

Although Baocui County has a rich and pleasant name, it is really poor and white.

From the first day when he officially took over, Shang Jinnan discovered this.

First of all, because of the terrain here, it is not suitable for farming.Even if crops can be planted, the harvest cannot be abundant. People do not have enough food for a year, and it is not uncommon for people to not have enough to eat.

Secondly, Cuibao Mountain is considered the best place in Cuibao County. There are many precious medicinal materials and fertile land in the mountain. Gift of nature.

In the end, Qian Youcai and Qian Taishou teamed up with Tiger Village to exploit the local people layer by layer.

One of the things Shang Jinnan liked about Cuibao County was that it was surrounded by the sea.Pointing to the sea area, he asked: "This is the sea, can't we let the common people go outside to catch fish? There should be other islanders outside this sea area, right? We can trade with them by sea." How many resources are there in the sea? Ah, as long as it is used reasonably, it is not difficult for Cuibao County to become rich.

"Fourth Prince, you don't know something." Du Ming, one of the staff, said, "Prefect Qian issued a ban on the sea a few years ago, and everyone dared not go to sea. Besides, this sea area is monopolized by Ark Asia. We can't Go to sea easily."

"Ya's Ark?" Shang Jinnan asked suspiciously.

"That's right, it's Ya's Ark..." Du Ming explained. In fact, there is an island not far from them. There is an island in the sea. The people on the island look weird. Not only are they tall, but they also have green eyes. , Blue eyes... Eyes of different colors, hair of different colors, they are not from their own country, and they can't control them.This group of people is very good at building boats, and the boats they built are called sub-arks.They often transport and do business in the sea, catch fish and so on.In the past, there were people from Baocui County who went out to sea to do business and shared this sea area with them, but after Qian Taishou came and issued a sea ban, people from Baocui County no longer dared to go to sea.

In the past few years, the ships of Ark Asia have become more and more advanced. Because there is no competition, as their power has become stronger, the entire sea area has become their place without knowing it.

Now if the people from Cuibao County enter the sea rashly, what will the Yafangzhou gang think, will it cause another dispute?Once the two sides go to war, it will undoubtedly not be a devastating blow to Baocui County, which is now too weak.

Shang Jinnan didn't think too much, he was a businessman, so he naturally looked at the problem from the perspective of a businessman.

He smiled and said: "According to you, Ya's Ark and the others are also businessmen. Since they are businessmen, as long as they have enough interests, they can be moved. We have to make one thing clear. We are not here to rob this resource, but to cooperate with They cooperate."

Cooperation means that there will be a win-win situation.

Shang Jinnan believes that the people in Ark Asia will not refuse their cooperation.

Just when Shang Jinnan and his staff were discussing how to set up an online cooperation with the people from Yafangzhou, at this moment, a government official knocked on the door and came in, and he said: "Fourth prince, my princess, let me tell you that the family of Yagongzi is here to pick you up." He is gone. I want you to go to the other side of the bay to see off Young Master Ya."

After hearing this, Shang Jinnan closed the map on the desktop, and said to his staff: "Let's stop here for today's matter first, and we will discuss it later." After finishing speaking, he left with the Yamen.

The azure blue bay seems to be in a line with the blue sky.

The magnificent sea is shining under the sun, and a breeze is blowing, with a trace of the unique taste of the ocean, and the unique coolness of winter.

On the sea, a huge ship docked on the shore.It is as huge as the Titanic in the movie, and it looks like it can hold hundreds of people.

The people in Baocui County had never seen such a tall and magnificent ship, they looked up as if they were looking at a giant cat.This gigantic beast was made of wooden planks, with sacred and beautiful runes engraved on its body, and the runes were outlined in golden color.It looks golden and very beautiful.

"Crack" sounded.

A boarding board fell slowly.

Tony said to Cheng Bingling: "Fourth princess, this is a small boat prepared by our Ark for you, I hope you like it."

"For me?" Cheng Bingling was surprised.

Tony nodded with a smile, and said, "Yes, this is our newest ship. The master asked me to give it to you to thank you for taking care of our young master and young lady."

"That's too polite." Cheng Bingling was stunned, she actually had a boat of her own!
Tony suggested: "Princess, you can go up and have a look."

"Okay!" Cheng Bingling nodded excitedly.

"What is this?" Shang Jinnan's curious voice came, and Cheng Bingling looked back and found that Shang Jinnan had come.

''Shang Jinnan!You came! "Cheng Bingling ran over excitedly, she took Shang Jinnan's hand with one hand: "Let's go up and have a look. "

Seeing that his hand was being held, Shang Jinnan was taken aback for a moment, and was immediately pulled onto the boat by Cheng Bingling.

Cheng Bingling couldn't wait to board the ship, stood on the deck, looked out, and soon saw the endless ocean.

"Wow! It's so beautiful!" Cheng Bingling exclaimed, her eyes were bent, and her hands were raised high, like a child.

Seeing this, Shang Jinnan also smiled slightly.

"Pretty, right? Shang Jinnan." Cheng Bingling looked at him with a smile.
