Seeing Li Jun watching Shi Bao and his soldiers play polo with relish, Tong Meng couldn't help but say, "My good brother, why are you still in the mood to watch the ball!" ”

Li Jun said: "What's wrong?" ”

Tong Meng said: "What's the matter, brother, aren't you asking knowingly, all the people who came with us have been arranged, even the lowly martial artist named Han Bolong went to Zhenrong with Zhu Fu to do business, but the three of us brothers have no arrangements!" ”

Li Jun said: "My brother is too busy during this time, and he has even postponed the matter of taking concubines again and again, where is the time to arrange for me to wait." ”

Tong Meng said: "Otherwise, I don't think the two can be confused, taking a concubine is a private matter, arranging us is a public matter, private affairs can be pushed, how can public affairs be pushed, and if everyone does not arrange it, it is just that, only we have not arranged it, what is the reason?" ”

Li Jun said: "My brother has his own reasons. ”

Tong Wei said: "I think Erlang is right, although Brother Li Yan invited me to a banquet with good wine and meat every day, he never arranged for me to wait, which is really unreasonable." ”

Tong Meng said: "By the way, Brother Shi Bao, Ou Peng, Jiang Jing, Ma Lin, and Tao Zongwang were all able to come to Liangshanbo because of their brother's guidance, there is no reason why they are reused, but my brother is left idle!" ”

Li Jun smiled: "You two are just anxious, let me ask you, what is your impression of your brother?" ”

"This ...... Jay. Tong Wei said.

Tong Meng hesitated for a moment and said: "It's not just Renjie, he has created such a big family business in less than two years, and he can also impress so many heroes, even Brother Shibao is full of praise for him, just use Renjie to describe it, it is inevitably a little insufficient." ”

Li Jun smiled: "Isn't this it, how can a person like my brother not have a thorough consideration?" ”

Tong Meng said: "But I have been waiting for more than three months......"

Li Jun looked at Baiyun in the distance and said, "Maybe my brother is not ready to ......."

At this moment, a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes walked in the distance.

As soon as he saw Li Jun and the others, the young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes said: "Why are the three elder brothers here, let the younger brother find it easily!" ”

Li Jun hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "What is the matter with Brother Dingliu looking for me?" ”

Wang Dingliu said: "It's not that I'm looking for the three brothers, but that the brothers are looking for you." ”

Hearing that Li Yan was looking for them, Tong Wei and Tong Meng were overjoyed, and Li Jun said: "I can't let my brother wait for a long time, let's go quickly." ”

When Wang Dingliu heard this, he led the way for Li Jun and the others.

While walking, Li Jun asked, "Where is my brother?" ”

Wang Dingliu said: "Boat yard." ”

As soon as he heard what Wang Dingliu said, Li Jun said secretly: "I'm afraid that the errand I'm waiting for is coming soon." ”

……

Before they arrived at the shipyard, Li Jun and the three of them saw four big ships.

All four of these great ships were three-masted galleons, nearly a bow larger than the largest ships of the present day.

Li Jun was born as a captain and knew a lot about ships, and when he saw this big ship, he knew that it was an ocean-going ship, not a river ship, and the river ship could not be so big, nor could it have so many sails.

"How could my brother build such a big ship?"

With this question, Li Jun came to Li Yan and the others, and then bowed to Li Yan: "Brother! ”

Seeing that Li Jun, Tong Wei, and Tong Meng were coming, Li Yan said, "How about you look at this ship?" ”

Li Jun said: "Good ship...... It's just that it seems to be a sea ship......"

Li Yan said: "Yes, it is indeed a sea ship, the most advanced sea ship jointly built by the Meng Kang brothers and the Ye Chun brothers. ”

Meng Kang said: "Brother Hugh wants to push the credit, without my brother and sister-in-law, Brother Ye Chun and I can't make it!" ”

Ye Chun also said: "Master Li Zhai and the lady are both gods, let me wait for shame and shame!" ”

Meng Kang and Ye Chun were not touting Li Yan and Liu Huiniang, in fact, after Meng Kang and Ye Chun teamed up to figure out the pattern of the sea boat, Liu Huiniang gave a lot of reasonable suggestions based on her profound knowledge, and Li Yan also gave a lot of advanced suggestions based on her own knowledge, so that Meng Kang and Ye Chun could build these four sea ships.

Of course, even so, these four sea ships are only experimental products, and Meng Kang and Ye Chun will adjust and upgrade them according to their use in the future.

Li Jun couldn't help but ask: "What did my brother do to build a sea ship?" ”

Li Yan said leisurely: "I plan to use them to find a way back for my brothers, and then open up two financial roads for me to Shuibo Liangshan." ”

Actually-

Originally, Li Yan didn't think about going to sea in the near future.

He was originally going to solve the crisis from the imperial court first, and then slowly figure it out.

But not long ago, two major events suddenly happened, which made Li Yan make this decision temporarily.

The first major event, Song Huizong Zhao Ji originally set up Wang Zhao Huan as the crown prince in the first month, I don't know why it was postponed, not long after, Tokyo Bianliang Zhao Ji did not like Zhao Huan rumors, which made the faction that was originally optimistic about other princes see hope again, and then led to the court that had just been calm for a long time to ignite the war again, and even many real power officials went into the field because of this matter, Cai Jing, Wang Huang, Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng, Gao Yu and other powerful ministers all pay attention to the changes in the court to prevent being out, and have no intention of doing anything else.

In this way, Shuibo Liangshan is estimated to be safe for a while.

The second major event, Emperor Tianzuo of Liao began to perceive the threat of the Jurchens and ordered a personal expedition, but the Liao army was defeated by the Jurchens everywhere, and the Jurchens began to rise.

In addition, Meng Kang and Ye Chun built another sea ship, and there were four of them.

Therefore, Li Yan decided to go to sea to find the mythical island, that is, Jeju Island, which is located in the east of Jiangsu, between Goryeo and Japan.

If they can successfully find Jeju Island and occupy it, then Li Yan and the brothers of Shuibo Yangsan can be regarded as having a way back, and if they are defeated in the future, they can hide in the beautiful Jeju Island for the rest of their lives.

However, this is only incidental, Li Yan is not so unambitious, and now he is racking his brains to find a way back for himself.

There is another very important reason why Li Yan wants to take Jeju Island: if he owns Jeju Island, Li Yan can use it as a springboard to trade with Goryeo and Japan, and open up a big source of wealth for Shuibo Yangsan, you must know that the silk, tea, porcelain and other things of the Great Song Dynasty are expensive luxury goods in these two countries, and Goryeo horses and Japanese silver are all good things that Li Yan wants very much!

Moreover, Li Yan, who has traveled to Jeju Island, knows some of the history of Jeju Island, and there should be only one small country called Tamna on Jeju Island at this time, and the population of that small country is at most 10,000 or 20,000, and the weapons are extremely backward, so it should not be too difficult to occupy it.
