It wasn't until the huge Zhifu Island gradually drifted away that even the towering Zhifu Mountain could no longer be seen, that Xu Changqing withdrew his gaze nostalgically.

In later generations, Zhifu Island has long been closely linked with the mainland, but at this time, Zhifu Island is a real island.

Zhifu Island is the core urban area of Yanshi in later generations, and Xu Changqing has been there many times in later generations and is very familiar with the terrain.

Although there are many mountains and little arable land on the island, it is not suitable for farming, and there is no population, but it has a unique advantage, and there are sea views everywhere, which is very suitable for living, especially for garrisons!

Looking at the dense vegetation on the island, it is certainly not a problem to grow some vegetables, coupled with the well-developed fishing night of the model army, it is just idle to feed tens of thousands of people.

In the future, if Zhifu Island, Yangma Island, Liugong Island, Qingji Island, plus Changdao, Heidao and other islands in the north of Dengzhou are connected as a line, the entrance of the entire Bohai Bay will be completely controlled by Xu Changqing!

At that time, even if the mainland is completely lost, Xu Changqing will have unlimited leeway!

"Master, slave, slave maid boiled you some seaweed soup......

Just as Xu Changqing sighed and was about to go back to the cabin to rest, a familiar and weak voice suddenly came from behind him.

Looking back, it was Chen Yuanyuan.

She also held a bowl of steaming seaweed soup in her jade hand.

In later generations, Xu Changqing liked to drink laver soup very much, nutritious and affordable, nothing to do, basically drank this thing for breakfast, and at this time Chen Yuanyuan made this laver soup, obviously very attentive, while the laver bloomed, the eggs bloomed like flowers in the bowl, and the white and green shallot segments were the finishing touch, making people have a great appetite at a glance.

Seeing that Xu Changqing seemed to be very satisfied, Chen Yuanyuan's pretty face couldn't help but turn red, and his beautiful eyes drooped slightly, full of expectation.

And at this time, her dress is also very charming.

is only wearing white pajamas, but she is wearing an apron, and she looks like a delicate and lovely little chef, which makes people want to hug her into their arms and love her.

"The look and taste are very good, round, and the craftsmanship is good."

Xu Changqing smiled and pinched her chin, then took the seaweed soup, tasted it slowly, and sure enough, it tasted very good.

Chen Yuanyuan's pretty face suddenly turned even redder, his neck was about to turn red, he looked at Xu Changqing with expectant eyes, and said busily: "Master, slave, slave maid will help you cool down......"

As she spoke, she didn't know where she got the courage, so she stepped forward carefully, leaned on Xu Changqing's side, puffed up her ruddy little mouth, and helped Xu Changqing blow lightly but hard.

Feeling the alluring fragrance around him, especially the simple and sweet appearance of Yiren, Xu Changqing was also a little uncomfortable for a while, and then shook his head with a smile in his heart.

The winner, the prince, the loser!

From ancient times to the present day, nothing more than that!

It's always been a winner-takes-all world......

If you want to arouse a woman's hope, what could be more powerful than power and money?

Originally, Xu Changqing wanted to dry Chen Yuanyuan for a while, but seeing that she was working so hard these days, Xu Changqing couldn't help but want to give her some sweetness, smiled slightly, and stopped her slender waist.

"Ah, ...... master"

Chen Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment, and immediately, his whole body trembled like an electric shock, and he looked at Xu Changqing with a refusal to return: "Master, slave, slave maid will help you blow cool first......

……

Not surprisingly, in the afternoon of the next day, when Xu Changqing's fleet arrived in the waters of Dengzhou City, the fleet of the Denglai Navy Division had been waiting here for a long time.

"Who are you? Is there a way? ”

Soon, several small boats quickly surrounded them, led by a sturdy Qianhu, and interrogated them coldly.

"We are merchant ships from Haicheng, so naturally we have a guide!"

This level Xu Changqing will definitely not come forward, drinking tea in the cabin, looking at the scenery outside the window, Li Qilang has already given them a lot of face to deal with them.

Qianhu immediately brought more than a dozen people onto the boat, coldly checked Xu Changqing's guide, and soon his complexion changed slightly.

As Xu Changqing's 'neighbor', it is naturally impossible for them not to hear of Xu Changqing's name, especially in the past few years, many people in Denglai have profited a lot from the ship transaction with Xu Changqing.

As soon as he saw Xu Changqing's red 'Loyal and Righteous Uncle' seal on the road, Qianhu's attitude couldn't help but soften three points first, and he squeezed out a little smile and said: "This brother, don't be angry, we are also routine business." It's mainly that something happened to Cheng Shanwei, brother, you should have heard about it, right? ”

Li Qilang smiled coldly: "Naturally, I heard about it, and not only did I hear about it, but we also had a fight with the pirates of Denglai!" Brother, why don't you go and talk to the pirates for such a big scene? ”

"Forehead ......"

Qianhu's face was suddenly full of embarrassment, he didn't expect the straight young man in front of him to rush so much, and he didn't save face for them at all, it was really them who sat down......

But Qianhu also felt at this time that the upright young man in front of him was by no means an ordinary person, and his murderous aura was too heavy, I am afraid that this is the elite of the model army after all......

No way.

People not only have big fists, but also have solid backers.

Even if he was unhappy in his heart, he still had to smile on his face: "This brother, speaking of which, it is really a child without a mother, and it is a long story." Our sailors are also suffering, how can there be so many manpower and materials to consult the bandits. It's not that I haven't done it in the past few years, but every time it's been a huge loss, and the brothers are dragging their families with them......"

After killing the sharp spirit of these thousand households, Li Qilang's attitude also softened, and said with a smile: "Brother, we don't want to embarrass you, but you are blocking our son-in-law's boat like this, this matter can't be justified." Our son is not a mortal! ”

The more Li Qilang played tricks, the more nervous Qianhu became, and hurriedly bowed his hand respectfully: "Brother, don't worry, let's let us go immediately, it's just that those heads are ......."

"Huh."

"Don't worry, brother, the heads are all on the boat behind. Our son-in-law hasn't been to Dengzhou yet, and he wants to go to the city to have a good time. ”

Soon, the Denglai sailor was released, and Xu Changqing's fleet slowly sailed to the dock of Dengzhou City.

Dengzhou is Penglai, the geographical location is extremely superior, the climate and environment are also excellent, extremely livable, and the distance from southern Liaoning is close, but also makes the surrounding gather a large number of displaced people, although the wharf is dilapidated, the population is very large, it is very lively, a noisy scene.

It's a pity that there are a lot of coolies who work, but there are not many boats, and there are not many businesses.

Xu Changqing had just landed here, and Governor Liu in the prefect's yamen received the news, and hurriedly looked at the master beside him: "Brother Wucai, how do you feel?" Do you want to meet this son? ”

The master is still very young, only in his twenties, eighties, or early thirties, but he looks very shrewd and capable, and he has no exams for the time being, and he comes out to do some work to subsidize the family, and at the same time adapts to officialdom in advance.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Dong Weng, Zhongyibo is not a simple person. No matter how many people want to stammer, he can't stammer...... In the student's opinion, it is better to see it. However, it cannot be disclosed! ”

Governor Liu immediately understood what the master meant, looked into his eyes and said, "Brother Wucai, what do you mean ......?"

The master smiled: "According to the student's opinion, Dong Weng's villa in the east of the city is good, you might as well lend this prince to live for a few days." Dong Weng, didn't you happen to have a chef of Huaiyang cuisine a few days ago? ”

"Wonderful!"

"Wonderful!"

Governor Liu couldn't help but stretch out his thumb and said busily: "Brother Wucai, you can do this." It's best to go and explore the tone of this prince first, and remember, you must give enough face to others! ”

The master nodded with a busy smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, it's on the student." ”

……

"Master, I thought this Dengzhou City was very prosperous, but after a long time, it couldn't even compare to our Haicheng. You see, the sewage is flowing directly onto the street. ”

The wide carriage drove smoothly in Dengzhou City, and Chen Yuanyuan's little bird leaned on Xu Changqing's arms, but his beautiful eyes were full of disgust.

Next to him, although the three daughters of Xian'er, Kou Baimen, and Bian Yujing were jealous of Chen Yuanyuan, they were helpless at this time.

In the deep mansion of Houmen, many things have rules on the surface, although they are terrible, but they are not too hurtful, the most terrible thing is those unwritten rules that have been passed down from generation to generation, that is the terrible shackles that kill people invisibly!

You can compete for favor, but it doesn't matter how you fight in private, as long as you don't get discovered.

However, if you put things on the bright side, and openly do what you want, then not only will you fall into the inferior, but ninety percent of them will fall into the bottomless abyss.

Every woman has a time when she is favored, but at this time it is Chen Yuanyuan.

The three daughters of Xian'er and Kou Baimen didn't want to see Chen Yuanyuan show her coquettishness, so they simply couldn't see it, and they all looked out of the window.

But after looking at it for a while, they were also like Chen Yuanyuan, their beautiful eyes were full of disgust.

After living in Haicheng for a long time, they don't feel anything for a while, but at this time, after comparison, they found out the gap!

Dengzhou City looks like a city with high walls and thick walls, however, the urban construction and city appearance inside, as Chen Yuanyuan said, are not even comparable to Haicheng.

Don't say anything else.

Just talking about the width of the roads in the city, Haicheng can throw off a hundred streets in the state city!

Even if it is an ordinary road in Haicheng, it is basically fifty meters high, and the bluestone slabs are neatly paved, wide and grand, and there are many soldiers' settlements, which are paved with lovely and ingenious cobblestones.

I heard that the eldest lady and the second lady are now developing a ceramic floor tile, and there is something called 'cement', when the time comes, not only the road in front of the house can be used for these things, but also the floor in the house.

It is said that the new mansion, which has already begun to be renovated, will use a lot of these new things.

If you look at the buildings on the street, there is no comparison.

Every household in Haicheng, even if there is a shop in front, has a backyard, and all kinds of trees and flowers are planted at the door, especially at this time, which makes people feel relaxed and happy just by looking at it.

And Dengzhou in front of me is cramped, dilapidated, cramped, and even dirty.

There is no comparison between people.

Haicheng is full of clean figures, especially the female dependents, who are dressed more beautifully than the other, which makes people feel comfortable to look at.

Dengzhou in front of you......

Except for a few people who are neatly dressed, the others are clearly called Hanako......

"Hehe, our Haicheng is a new city, Dengzhou is an old city, the concept is different, this planning and construction is definitely incomparable. However, the old city also has the benefits of the old city, and these buildings have gone through many vicissitudes of life, and they all have a story. ”

Xu Changqing played with Chen Yuanyuan's slender waist as smooth as jade, and said with a smile.

Chen Yuanyuan smiled and said, "Master, I still like Haicheng." It was built brick by brick by brick by you with your sons and people, and every time I walk on the streets of the city, I feel proud. ”

The three daughters of Xian'er, Kou Baimen and Bian Yujing were all a little speechless for a while, Chen Yuanyuan, this little bitch, is really shameless, and she can say anything disgusting.

But these words were right in Xu Changqing's arms, and he couldn't help laughing, "Yuanyuan, although I know that you, this little girl, are patting the grandfather's ass, but the master just likes to listen to it." Ha ha! ”

Feeling that Xu Changqing was in a very good mood beside her, Chen Yuanyuanfang was also extremely excited, but she knew very well that it was unrealistic to enjoy Xu Changqing's favor alone, let alone be pampered and arrogant, she still had a long way to go, and she had to ensure that she felt for Xu Changqing.

Hurriedly leaned on Xu Changqing's arms, ignoring the three daughters at all, and said with a smile and sticking to Xu Changqing.

Xu Changqing was just about to pat Chen Yuanyuan's little buttocks as a reward, this girl is getting more and more up-to-the-road, and her emotional intelligence is very high, no wonder she can maneuver between several big guys.

At this time, Li Qilang suddenly walked quickly to the window and said in a low voice: "Master, there is a person who claims to be Yu Datou's subordinate and wants to see you!" ”

"Huh?"

Xu Changqing's brows suddenly furrowed slightly, and after a moment, a faint smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth, Yu Datou is not stupid.
