Chapter 971 Happy New Year's Eve

"Boom boom boom..."

Along with the salute, the fireworks were sent high into the sky, and the bright fireworks bloomed in the dark night, clustered together, beautiful and moving.

Different from the New Year's Eve in previous years, today the people of Qingzhou City have had their New Year's Eve dinner and went out early to gather on Huangcheng Avenue to wait for the fireworks show.

"Wow, so beautiful."

At the moment when the fireworks bloomed, the bright light instantly illuminated the Imperial City Avenue, revealing the crowded people.

The childish voice overshadowed the noisy whispers at this time, and to the children, their eyes were only playful and beautiful fireworks.

But for every adult who came to Huangcheng Avenue, what they were looking forward to more was the mystery announced by the court before the New Year.

It is said that tonight, they will witness the moment of miracles...

In the palace, Xiao Ming, ministers, and concubines were also admiring the beautiful fireworks in the night sky. The location of the salute was on the square in front of the fair.

"Father, what is the mysterious thing going on tonight?"

Xiao Yi, who was wearing a thick cotton coat, was flushed from the cold, but his eyes flashed with excitement. Like everyone else, most of the palace didn't know that something mysterious was going to happen tonight.

Fei Yue'er and Xiao Ming stood side by side, looking at Xiao Yi with some doting. Eleven years later, Fei Yue'er changed from a 16-year-old girl to a 26-year-old graceful lady.

Although the tenderness on his face has disappeared, it has added a charming and enchanting look, and every move is more and more like the queen of the mother world.

"If the royal father told you, it would no longer be a secret, and then there would be no surprises." Xiao Ming touched Xiao Yi's head.

Before he knew it, Xiao Ming's size had reached his waist. If he was seven years old, he would already be a proper elementary school student in contemporary times.

Because of this, Xiao Ming's education on Xiao Yi has also become stricter. On weekdays, he always finds time to teach Xiao Yi personally, thinking that he has reached a sensible stage.

More importantly, as Xiao Yi grew up day by day, the voice of the crown prince in the imperial court became louder and louder, and he received compliments praising Xiao Yi almost every three days.

He naturally knew this, it was nothing more than someone flattering Fiji to please him.

In addition, this is also related to Xiao Yi's achievement of the third place in the year-end examination of Qingzhou Middle School at the age of seven.

After the domestic stability, Xiao Ming refined the cultural and educational system in order to popularize education, and the Great Yu Kingdom established four stages: elementary school, middle school, high school, and university.

This is only because Qingzhou University has cultivated a group of outstanding talents in the past ten years of education.

From these talents, he specially selected some elites to establish Qingzhou Normal University. As the name suggests, this professional college will continuously provide educational talents for the Great Yu Kingdom.

At the same time, he no longer fixed a package of things in Qingzhou, but allocated some resources to other cities.

For example, Jinling, Youzhou, Jinzhou, Songjiang, Suzhou, Lin'an, Chang'an and other places have begun to establish business systems and support education in accordance with the requirements of the imperial court. Some universities have also been established in these cities to cultivate local talents.

It was when he was inspecting Qingzhou Middle School that Xiao Yi took the middle school exam on a whim, and unexpectedly got the third place.

According to the standards of the Great Yu Kingdom, Xiao Yi should only be a beginner.

So this result suddenly became a good story. His eldest son was also held to a high position, and Fiji even entertained many officials to show off.

However, in Xiao Ming's opinion, this matter is commonplace. With his father, Xiao Yi naturally remembers and learns quickly, and he cannot be measured in turn.

"Yes, Royal Father, wait a little longer." Xiao Yi stood by Xiao Ming's side honestly, with an old-fashioned look, causing Xiao Ming and Fei Yue'er to shake their heads frequently.

"The emperor's eldest son is really sensible. It's not like the stinky boy in my family has asked this question a hundred times." Lu Fei's hearty voice came, and beside him stood a child with a head and a head, about the same age as Xiao Yi.

This is his third son, Lu Ping, and his eldest son, Lu Yun, is eighteen years old and has already entered the military training.

Luo Xin turned around at this time. Today, he brought his eldest son Luo Xing over. This year's New Year's Eve is of great significance. People with some names in the court are invited to the palace to attend the banquet, and they are allowed to bring their relatives here.

For officials and generals, fireworks and mysterious events are the next most important thing. It is important that so many core members of the court are separated from each other and can communicate with each other and let their children see the world.

Therefore, both civil servants and military generals brought their descendants, including Niu Ben, Pang Yukun and others, and the palace instantly became very lively.

"Your family's Ping'er would still ask, my family doesn't have a single fart so far. I'm frightened and really useless." Luo Xin glared at his son.

Xiao Ming showed a smile. These two were his right-hand men and they had made great contributions. Now they both occupy a high position in the army.

It is the support of this group of hardcore that makes his control of the army as stable as Mount Tai.

Xiao Ming said; "Pinger and Xinger don't seem to be studying in Qingzhou, right? After this year, it's better to let them enter the palace and study together with Xiao Yi, so that he can have one among his peers. playmate."

Lu Fei and Luo Xin were instantly overjoyed when they heard the words. Lu Fei slapped Lu Ping on the back of the head with a slap and shouted, "Don't thank me, being able to study with the eldest son of the emperor is a blessing you have cultivated in your lifetime."

Luo Xin also pushed Luo Xing to the front, and the two said respectfully together, "Thank you, Emperor Longen."

"Flat body." Xiao Ming smiled.

The movement here naturally cannot escape the eyes of other officials, and many officials look envious. Lu Ping and Luo Xing have a bright future in the future.

But they also knew that the emperor did this to consolidate the relationship with the Lu family and the Luo family. As for Niu Ben, the emperor personally ordered the marriage and married a daughter of the royal family to his eldest son Niu Chong. Be favored.

When everyone was thinking about each other, only Su Liangcai ran over out of breath.

In front of Xiao Ming, Su Liang calmed his breath and said, "Your Majesty, we can start now."

Xiao Ming's eyes suddenly flashed a ray of light. In fact, today's mysterious event is that Qingzhou City was officially powered on.

After the thermal power plant generates electricity, it first supplies power to the military factory, and then establishes power facilities in Qingzhou City.

So Xiao Ming gave Su Liangcai a dead task, and asked him to officially supply power to Qingzhou City on New Year's Eve. He really used enough candles.

"My dear gentlemen, today I said that I would like to give you a gift to the people of the city. This is the mystery of today."

After all, he nodded to Su Liang.

Su Liangcai shouted loudly at this time: "Three salutes, start!"

Following his order, three gun salutes sounded in succession in the Zhengdaguangguang Hall, and immediately, the street lamps on both sides of the entire Imperial City Avenue and the street lamps in the palace were all turned on.

The city of Qingzhou is brightly lit.
