In the island nation of later generations, there is a thing called: 'Secret Room Politics. Governance'.

It is said that there are many secret things, which are always carried out only in the secret room, and outsiders and the public will never know the answer.

Of course, this is actually just the people of the island country who quantify this kind of thing, and it is valid in any other country, any region, any nation!

Moreover, it is as secretive as ever.

At this time, both Xu Changqing and Li Hongyun seem to be masters in this way.

Subsequently, Xu Changqing and Li Hongyun had more friendly and in-depth consultations on many more secret details.

To be honest, Xu Changqing doesn't have much affection for the Li family, which is outdated but always wants to show its existence.

They are the big moths that were raised very fat in the Ming army.

But at this time, Xu Changqing wants to become stronger, get more resources that continue to be scarce, and cooperating with them is undoubtedly the best shortcut.

Before he didn't have enough ability, Xu Changqing obviously wouldn't change anything rashly.

With the solid foundation of this second-hand warship, the next thing is much simpler.

Li Hongyun promised that he would collect old craftsmen who built ships for Xu Changqing, especially those who built warships, including all kinds of materials in the future, and they would also increase the amount for Xu Changqing, but they were all extra gifts.

Xu Changqing had no doubts about these problems, and after thinking about it for a while, Xu Changqing put forward a new requirement for Li Hongyun, that is, another 10,000 catties of gunpowder, especially the craftsmen who make gunpowder!

In this regard, it is still settled in cash, and Xu Changqing will pay a high price!

Li Hongyun naturally agreed to such a trivial matter one by one, and the guests on both sides enjoyed themselves.

…

At this time, Xu Zhong and the others brought six or seven thousand taels of silver, and all kinds of cash silver also had more than two thousand taels, even if Xu Changqing settled the silver taels of the warship with Li Hongyun, but Li Hongyun's side, he had to leave the sailors to Xu Changqing for a period of time.

After all, although Xu Changqing was not short of manpower at this time, he was extremely short of middle-aged labor, and it took some time to train sailors.

It was almost evening, and Li Hongyun was still leaving.

After sending Li Hongyun and his party away, Xu Changqing's whole person was also very excited, and his posture was vigorous, as if the world was under control!

Xu Zhong couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Young master, I heard that in the past, it cost at least tens of thousands of taels of silver to build this kind of warship, but now, it can be won for only three thousand five hundred taels?" ”

Xu Changqing smiled, "Uncle Zhong, this time and that time." What's more, we are buying second-hand goods, which may have been used for decades, and it is normal to be cheaper. I can't say anything about this kind of thing, we can only adapt to it. At least for us now, that's a good thing. ”

Xu Changqing once saw some information in his later life, saying that during the reign of Jiajing Ye, the imperial court allocated food and salary to Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou to build warships to eliminate the Japanese invaders, and at that time it was often a million taels!

Although there is no specific number of warships, the price of this medium-sized warship is probably only higher than the 10,000 taels of silver that Xu Zhong said!

There is another one, which is said that in the later period of Jiajingye, his palace was burned down, and to rebuild the palace, he needed to build a big ship to buy wood in Nanyang.

At that time, it was reported that it was 3 million taels of silver to build a large ship, and 30 large ships were built, but in the end, the palace was repaired, but it cost nearly 10 million taels of silver.

Even if it was later changed to timber transported from Yungui, the silver for 3 million taels to build 30 large ships should have been spent first.

From this, we can also see how deep the water is!

But these things, Xu Changqing will definitely not tell Xu Zhong more.

Xu Zhong nodded with a wry smile, and did not continue the topic anymore, asking Xu Changqing about his future arrangements.

The arrival of Xu Zhong and others at this time is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow to Xu Changqing, and it is even more powerful!

Xu Changqing even told Xu Zhong about the more than 10,000 displaced people.

"Forehead ......"

Rao is Xu Zhong has been prepared for a long time, and this time the mission will definitely not be easy, but who would have thought that Xu Changqing would be such a big deal as soon as he came up.

The point is that the load on Shark Island is already a little unbearable......

Looking at Xu Zhong's embarrassed expression, Xu Changqing couldn't help but smile: "Uncle Zhong, I know that this matter is indeed a bit difficult, but~, those who can work hard!" My little nephew has just started, and in the future, there are still many places where I need to rely on Uncle Zhong. ”

"Young Master, you ......"

Xu Zhong suddenly smiled bitterly, feelings, the young master had already calculated him.

……

Not long after, Uncle Guang led people from Shark Island, and Uncle Guang dealt with various matters on the side of the Green Snake Forest and Pig's Trotter Island, while Xu Changqing took Xu Zhong, Ma Luan, Zhang Hongqiang and others to return to Ningyuan City directly to arrange the affairs of the displaced people.

Although Shark Island is almost at full capacity at this time, it is not a big problem to temporarily accept these displaced people for three to five days.

After all, Shark Island is not small, and it is summer at this time, so everyone can get through it by squeezing it.

But today is already July 20, I'm afraid that after Denglai's fleet comes, the oath will be carried out, and Xu Changqing doesn't have much time to prepare!

It has to be within 10 days, or even less, to get things on track!

Especially about the research and development work on firearms and setting traps!

Zhang Dagong: After these days of planning and continuous practice, they have achieved a lot of results in arranging traps to engage in tartars.

At this time, after several actual battles, Xu Changqing also had more experience in firearms.

At this time, Xu Changqing did not have so much time, nor did he have so much manpower and energy.

But how inscrutable are firearms?

Xu Changqing already has a more mature, more stable, easy-to-use, and more cost-effective method!

…

Back in Ningyuan City, the three homeless camps on both sides had already taken the track and began to boil porridge to nourish themselves.

And when these homeless people heard that it was Xu Changqing and Xu Ye who were righteous and wanted to rein in them, they were all demoralized, and the brilliance of hope could not be concealed at all.

After all, Xu Changqing's deeds have long been in full swing these days, and the days of those displaced people who were collected by Xu Changqing before have also spread.

can be valued by Xu Changqing, isn't this the Buddha's eyes, what is it?

With the addition of Xu Zhong, Ma Luan, and Zhang Hongqiang, Xu Changqing's workload has also decreased sharply, and he no longer has to worry about those details.

Of course, going deep into the homeless people, calming their emotions, getting closer to them, and reassuring them, these seemingly simple but extremely core jobs, Xu Changqing naturally had to do it himself.

And in this process, Xu Changqing discovered some talents again!

These talents, as long as they take a little rest and lead them to the track, they can be used by Xu Changqing!

…

This night, Xu Changqing didn't close his eyes, and continued to go deep into these homeless people, get closer to them, give them promises, and give them tangible benefits, so that they can rest assured and give them hope.

At the same time, it is also to leave time for the preparation of Shark Island!

It wasn't until dawn the next day, everything was on track, and it was already July 21, and Xu Changqing was tired and returned to the station to rest.

As soon as I returned to the station, several delicate girls of Peony and their delicate girls came up, one by one pear blossoms brought rain, I saw pity, obviously, they didn't sleep well last night.

Xu Changqing understood their careful thoughts in a moment, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

But at this time, Xu Changqing didn't have much time to pay attention to them, smiled and comforted them, and asked them to serve themselves to wash up, which was to directly let them accompany him to make up for sleep.

At this time, Denglai's fleet already had definite news, and it had arrived at Shanhaiguan last night, but the sea was too windy and rough, and it needed a little rest.

But even if it is to rest, I am afraid it will not be delayed for too long, and it is estimated that I will be able to come to Ningyuan's side tomorrow and the day after tomorrow at the latest.

Although the arrival of the Denglai fleet will not have much impact on Xu Changqing, it is not good to appease the displaced people and conflict with military affairs, and Xu Changqing will not have much time to catch up on sleep, and it will only be an hour.

Before midday, that is, before 10 a.m., everyone must go!

Regarding the guards of the homeless, Xu Changqing reached a tacit agreement with Cao Bianjiao last night, plus Wang Pu also got the news and will send troops to protect him, plus the Tartars are almost wiped out, there is basically no need to worry about safety, and the rest is only efficiency and people's hearts.

Fortunately, at this time, Xu Changqing not only has a large number of bamboo rafts, but also has four boats, which should be more efficient!

…

After sleeping for more than an hour with warm fragrant nephrite in his arms, even if Xu Changqing was reluctant, he could only get up and beckon Zhao Zengjin to hire a carriage to take the peony and the six girls away.

The peony and the others were finally relieved at this time, knowing that Xu Changqing would not want them, so they took advantage of the gap between no one and offered fragrant kisses to Xu Changqing one by one.

But this gentleness only lasted for a moment, and when the carriage came, even if they were reluctant, they could only get into the carriage first.

When Xu Changqing came to the camp of the homeless camp, the team was ready to set off.

While Xu Zhong, Ma Luan, and Zhang Hongqiang were busy, Li Changyou was also working harder, spitting and spitting, constantly brainwashing and pouring chicken soup for these homeless soldiers, talking about how good he Xu Changqing and Xu Ye were, how benevolent, it was simply the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva.

Not to mention, although this guy is vulgar and his methods are not very clever, this guy has passion, especially that kind of contagion, which is easily convincing.

The corners of Xu Changqing's mouth couldn't help but show a crooked smile, the original unintentional move, now, the harvest is remarkable.

Li Changyou's stay in Ningyuan City can also be regarded as a strong fulcrum for himself to a certain extent.

"Everyone, everyone, I won't say more good things, the Green Snake Forest has prepared delicious fish soup, delicious fish balls, and hot steamed buns for everyone, everyone can put down a hundred hearts and follow our Xu Ye with peace of mind. However, I have to say that the ugly words of my Li have to be in front, our Xu Ye is benevolent and righteous, and loves the people like a son, but ~, if anyone dares to play ghosts and do those unsightly sassies. Fishy! I, Li Changyou, will definitely report to Xu Ye, and I can't keep this kind of bastard! We don't have such useless waste! ”

After Li Chang finished speaking, he just wanted to take a breath, and suddenly saw that there was a most familiar figure not far away, looking at him with a smile.

"Yo, master!"

Li Changyou's tiredness disappeared in an instant, and the dog generally rushed to Xu Changqing: "Master, it's all ready, just waiting for you to come over." ”

Xu Changqing smiled and kicked Li Changyou's ass, "At noon, accompany my master to eat!" ”

"Huh?"

Li Chang was stunned for a while, and only after a moment did he come back to his senses, and his bones were crispy for a while, as if he was about to fly to the sky, he nodded happily like a chicken eating rice: "Don't worry, those chores are all wrapped up in my old man!" ”

…

At the beginning of the day, the team set off on time.

Because at this time, the center of gravity of Ningyuan City has been shifted to the northern line, and Xu Changqing's reputation has also spread, this time out of the city, Xu Changqing does not have to worry a lot, most people will sell face.

This made everyone go out of the city from the south gate in turn, which was not only extremely smooth, but also very efficient.

Thousands of people are like forests, and thousands of people are like the sea.

Not to mention that this is not an army, but ordinary people.

Fortunately, at this time, Shark Island also transported a lot of chicken buses, plus Cao Bianjiao, Wang Pu, and Liu Lang and the Li family firm, there were five or six hundred chicken buses.

This makes many old and weak women and children do not spend much effort, and are only pushed by the man in charge.

Although the chicken bus is not comfortable, ~~, for the homeless people at this time, it is undoubtedly a first-class treatment.

And even if there are a large number of people, whether it is Xu Changqing's reputation or propaganda slogans, they have already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which also makes the team large and complicated, but it is extremely orderly, and there is no chaos, which also makes Xu Changqing and the many soldiers who escort them a lot of worry.

……………

I watched the parade of the Russian army, a cow.

Kneel and beg for a wave of support.
