    Chen Jiali did not stay overnight, leaving only a few strands of long hair on the pillow and a bit of lingering smell.  Soon another person came to this wooden house by the lake, Madam Dong, Mrs. Gao.  Mrs. Gao gave Princess Jinsuo a pair of jasper bracelets. Jinsuo opened her mouth to call her aunt. Mrs. Gao was stunned at first, and then she laughed and praised her.  She likes Guo Shao's little daughter very much and spends most of her time here playing with Jin Suo.  At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, a fleet of dragon army will go south from Haizhou to transport more armaments to Cao Bin in Guangnan.  Guo Shao planned to go further away from Beijing and personally go to the harbor to inspect his warships and practice for the generals of the Dragon Army.  It¡¯s sunny after the first snowfall in Tokyo. It¡¯s a good weather for traveling.  Snow is still hanging on the branches on the street, blooming like white flowers, glowing with delicate colors in the bright sunshine, and fluttering like catkins when the wind blows, adding a bit of vitality to the silent winter.  Longjin Bridge connects the north-south central axis of the outer city. Looking north to the inner city gate Zhuque Gate, a large parade of umbrella flags and ceremonial guards pass by here. The escorting horse soldiers have shining armor and fiery red shoulder scarves fluttering in the wind, which is very eye-catching.  .  With such a pomp and ceremony, it looks like someone from the royal family is traveling.  Pedestrians all avoided crossing the street to wait and see, and people in the market also stood on the roadside to watch the excitement.  A four-horse carriage was surrounded by palace people and military commanders, and the curtain on the carriage was gently opened.  Guo Shao looked out of the carriage and saw a familiar sight.  In front of a shop at the intersection of Hengjie Street, hoes, shovels, kitchen knives, etc. were all placed outside the shop. Smoke was rising from the roof, and firelight flickered inside.  There is a flag hanging at the door of this blacksmith shop, with only one word written on it: yellow.  There is no need to write words such as blacksmith shop, the things on the stalls and the items on the shop floor are the signboards.  An old man with pale hair was sitting on the bench outside the blacksmith shop, raising his head and looking over with drowsy eyes.  At this time, a middle-aged man who was still shirtless in winter came out of the shop to watch, followed by a woman with her hair wrapped in a bun, holding a bowl and walking up to the old man.  A casual smile appeared on Guo Shao's face, as if he was greeting the old man. He was not condescending at all. Perhaps looking at life from another angle, the old man's complete and peaceful life was no less humble than anyone else.  Guo Shao observed for a while that there was only one acquaintance left here and there was no one he cared about anymore. Cars and horses gradually passed through the street, so he lowered the car curtain.  There is another person on the large carriage, Zhaoyi Lu Lan. She is also the only woman accompanying him on this trip.  Seeing that she was also looking at the scene outside, Guo Shao said, "Have Lu Zhaoyi seen that blacksmith shop?" Lu Lan turned her head back, nodded and said, "Yes." Guo Shao smiled and said, "My former  Home is right there." Lu Lan was stunned, covering her mouth and smiling: "Didn't Your Majesty live in the Guo Mansion before? I also lived in the Mansion when I first arrived in Tokyo." Guo Shao stopped smiling and said seriously: "More.  Long time ago, when I was young, I stayed in Daming Prefecture and Hezhong Prefecture. I didn¡¯t have a house of my own and lived in a barracks with the soldiers. After I moved to Tokyo, my old house was the blacksmith shop.  I bought it with my military salary." Lu Lan's rosy face showed surprise: "I have never heard your Majesty mention it." Guo Shaodao: "If you don't believe it, you don't need to mention it to others when you go back.  I didn¡¯t meet many people, and I didn¡¯t mean anything to others.¡± Lu Lan said hurriedly, ¡°How can I not believe what your Majesty said?¡± Guo Shao said in a casual tone, ¡°There is a small alley behind that side street.  Yulian's family used to be there, and I hired her to do laundry, cooking, and chores. The old man with a white beard sitting at the door just now was named Huang, and he was also an old blacksmith I once hired. Now that the world is getting peaceful, Blacksmith Huang's family has a shop in the downtown area.  If you have skills, you probably have a good life." Lu Lan said softly: "It turns out that your Majesty still has so many memories." Guo Shao reached out and held her little hand. Lu Lan's palm also had calluses, just like Yu Lian.  He rubbed the cocoon and said: "You and I also have many memories. I remember when we first met you as a teenage girl. Sometimes I feel that people are not just a body, but a process, and memories are the way to identify ourselves."  "The process." Lu Lan listened quietly, looking thoughtful.  When Guo Shao stayed with her, the most special feeling was that he could always find a peaceful state of mind.  The wooden wheels of the carriage outside were "chirping" and the carriage was shaking slightly. The road was still going on, and the process had not been interrupted.  Guo Shao looks back on the past and looks forward to the journey he has not taken.  ¡­When the large group of troops leaves Tokyo, they must first go along the Bian River to Songzhou, then pass through Xuzhou, and then go to Haizhou.  There are also large areas of housing outside the city of Tokyo. The market is prosperous and the population is dense. This is an "annexed city".  The population of big cities is very large, but the residents are relatively concentrated and the country that is dominated by agriculture has not yet formed.City belt.  As the people and horses walked past the city, they found themselves in a vast expanse of farmland with villages dotted among them. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????? From time to time, there¡¯s an earthen yard that emits black smoke, which is a workshop where pebbles are used to cook dung.  Not much of the gunpowder and saltpeter used by Xu Jun came from saltpeter mines, but more of it came from manure dumping workshops like this; the remaining materials were necessary fertilizers for large farms nearby.  On the banks of the Bian River, several cities stood tall, like the Acropolis of Tokyo, but over the cities, many strands of black smoke rose.  A huge metal banging sound could be heard from far away on the post road.  In the quiet farmland, these smoking monsters are very abrupt.  After so many years, people nearby may have become accustomed to it.  But in Guo Shao¡¯s eyes, these workshops are just sparks.  They broke the tranquility of the crowing of chickens and dogs and awakened the sleeping earth. Guo Shao believed that one day greater productivity would make the Daxu Empire more prosperous and lively.  The thick smoke is blackening the blue sky, just like the distinctive traces carved by Guo Shao here.  Guo Shao went east along the post road, inspecting his country along the way. The land along the way was just a corner of the country, and he still spent several days.  By the time they arrived at Haizhou, the Jiaolong Army had already assembled its ships at the port and was waiting for the emperor to postpone their trip.  Guo Shao sent pigs and sheep to reward the army, and that night he gave a banquet at the dragon's camp in the port to the generals above the commander who went south.  Haizhou Port was lively and noisy one night, as if celebrating a festival.  Early the next morning, Guo Shao saw the generals boarding the ship at the beach without getting on the ship himself.  In establishing the Dragon Army, Guo Shao did a lot in terms of organization, weapons, and warships, but he had never been on a sea-going ship, and he probably would never do so in the future No one would allow such a thing, regardless of the battles of the Dragon Army.  No matter how big the ship is, the sea route is still the most risky route.  So he could only stand on the shore and watch.  There is a constant sea breeze on the pier, but the weather is sunny and the sea and sky are clear.  Guo Shao's cloak and sheepskin coat were blown by the wind and swayed against his body. Despite his youth and strength, he still stood steadily on the dock with his head held high.  Under the bright sunshine, the blue color of the sky and water becomes more and more beautiful, and the white sails cover the sea surface, just like the white clouds in the sky.  Bells, drums, and horns are playing in unison amid the roar of the waves, countless soldiers on the ship are shouting and making noise, and the graceful wings of seagulls are gliding across the water leaving their chirping sounds. The sea is the most lively place.  Guo Shao squinted his eyes and watched the giant ships and light ships slowly go away. He looked at the endless journey of the fleet and his mind was open as never before.  This is not the end, but the beginning of a new world.  (Complete the book)      This book is finished.
