    A few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, welfare was distributed to all people on Taiyuan Island.

    There are not many things. Taking the family as a unit, each family has a box of beautifully packaged moon cakes, a can of sugar, a tube of tea, and a bottle of canned fruit.

    On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, schools are closed and factories are on holiday.  Except for the more vulnerable functional departments, which have personnel on duty, everyone else has a day off to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival!

    Yue Buqun and his wife, Cheng Buyou's family of three, Wang Shouren, Li Yanwen and others all came to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, and everyone gathered together to celebrate the lively Mid-Autumn Festival.

    After the holiday, Taiyuan Island announced the official opening of three dedicated navigation lines with the mainland.

    The three mainland ports are located in Taizhou Laoying, Huating New Port, and Tianjin New Port, with flights departing at least once every ten days.

    These places have been purchased by Sihai earlier. After several months of expansion, they will be ready for use before August.

    People with a household registration can purchase tickets to go to the mainland for business and visit relatives at any time.

    The fare is very cheap, 1 yuan to Taizhou, 2 yuan to Huating, and 3 yuan to Tianjin.

    What gives immigrants a visceral sense of superiority is that when most people go to the mainland, they will be issued a South China Sea passport.  If you encounter any disputes in the mainland, you can go to the local Jinyiwei Yamen with your passport to seek help.

    On August 21, among the first batch of people heading to the mainland after the official opening of navigation, the largest number were river workers.

    Some people are worried that these unions will not return to the mainland with their resettlement money and never look back. Is it appropriate to impose some restrictions?

    Sun Zheng was not worried at all. Not only that, he also thoughtfully prepared a small gift for each of the river workers, wrapped it in a beautiful backpack, and gave it to them to take away when they disembarked.

    In order to make it easier for Hegong to return to his hometown to visit relatives, a canal passenger flight from Tianjin to Hangzhou has been specially opened. Holders of senior passports can ride for free. If you are accompanied by relatives, you need to purchase separate tickets.

    It wasn't until the Double Ninth Festival in September that the big men in the court were shocked to realize that there were not even a single river worker left in the entire canal. Except for the channel soldiers who couldn't escape, they were still on duty. For thousands of miles, not even a fiber puller was found.  Not here.

    ¡° Then there was another explosive news. Many river workers, whom they had not seen for months, suddenly changed and returned to their hometowns in rich clothes. They were visiting relatives in their hometowns like rich men.

    The causes and consequences came together quickly, and the situation became clear.  The little trick they pulled on the Imperial Master was smashed into pieces before they even started!

    "In the whole thing, the most unlucky ones are those nobles who rely on water transportation to take advantage of their ancestors.

    Since the defeat of Jiang Bo Chen Rui and his beheading by Sun Zheng, the share left by his family was used by Emperor Hongzhi to bribe others.  But a few years later, these people once again formed an unbreakable interest group, and now they once again became a thorn in the eyes of Emperor Zhengde.

    These nobles controlled water transportation and regarded all tankers and river workers as their own private property.  Because grain from three sides entered Beijing, water transportation revenue dropped sharply.  Their interests were harmed, so they were deceived by civil servants, thinking that by going on strike at the river workers and making a big movement of tens of thousands of people, they could blackmail the court and force the emperor to abandon the northern grain and use it exclusively for the canal grain.

    They have finally moved up and down here, issued a strike flag, and are still trying to gain connections in the capital.  They discovered that the Princess of the South China Sea had arrived in Beijing with hundreds of giant ships, claiming that the South China Sea had a great harvest and that in the future, she could transport tens of thousands of shi of food to the capital every year.

    When the stick became dull, the whole court was in a state of shock.  Princess Nanhai, that is where you enjoy the treatment of the vassal state.  There's no way you can stop me. They'll directly contact the royal family.

    If the Princess of the South China Sea is allowed to open sea transportation, it goes without saying that water transportation will definitely be abandoned.  After all, the cost of water transportation has always been an unbearable burden.  Which end is lighter and which is heavier? You can figure it out if you have some brains.

    The nobles were busy mobilizing civil servants to stop the proposal to open the sea, and they went to court every day to force the emperor to go to the palace every day.

    Zhu Houzhao had been notified by Sun Zheng early, and he was very happy to dress up and go to court every day, watching these officials tear each other apart every day.

    This quarrel has been going on for several months, and before the quarrel is over, the transfer of river engineering has come to an end.  Even those who were resettled in the early stage began to return to their hometowns to show off their wealth. It is said that they hooked up with many young girls to settle down as senior officials.

    For several months, as long as those nobles took one more look at the canal, they would be able to spot the terrifying motor boat.

    However, it is so magical that not only the nobles themselves are not in the mood to patrol the canal.  Even their confidants were too busy exerting their efforts in the capital to even take a look.

    And the cavalry soldiers who were originally responsible for maintaining the order of the canal had already been bribed by the large sums of money from Sihai and the Beggar Clan. Not only did no one interfere, but many cavalry soldiers revealed that they wanted to go south together.

    &Next, let the old man retire and go home to recuperate.

    As for the nobles of the sixteen sects, they still want to escape after causing such a big incident?  I want to eat shit!

    You are responsible for water transport affairs. Now there are no river workers, no water soldiers, and the canal can no longer function. What else do you do?

    ?????????????????? And those officials at the canal and water transport yamen levels, whose bodies are in plain sight, how come you don¡¯t even know any news about such a big thing?  Planting a few sticks by the river is better than yours!

    I didn¡¯t say anything, ransack the house!  exile!

    In the past, the farthest place for exile was Qiongzhou Island, but now Qiongzhou Island is the territory of the Princess of the South China Sea. If we move people there, it is a bit suspected of interfering in the internal affairs of the vassal.  At the place of exile, Jin Yiwei drew up the reward.

    No surprise, the final power to choose the place fell into the hands of Sun Zheng.

    At the Imperial Prefecture, Sun Zheng received the report and asked Wei Wei to find a suitable place of exile.

    Vicky¡¯s answer surprised him.

    "Madagascar? Are there no indigenous people there?"

    "No, sir. There used to be hundreds of thousands of natives living on the island, but a few months ago there was a disaster all over the island. They were guided by the gods and have moved to better places."

    Tsk!  Sun Zheng had a dark look on his face: "Are you up to something?"

    "Sir! It was you who asked us to take the initiative!"

    It makes sense!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
