Hong Chengchou said beyond his cognition, and put aside all the things at sea, which is not a good thing for Mao Wenlong. After all, he didn't know anything about how to carry out maritime trade, and he originally expected Hong Chengchou, a military advisor, to give him some advice, but now he was facing such an embarrassing situation.

After carefully looking at Hong Chengchou for a long time, Mao Wenlong finally found that this old man may really have limited knowledge of the sea. Think about it, Daming has forbidden the sea for so long, and Daming is now suffering from internal and external troubles, and in such a situation, he has no time to take care of himself, where is there any energy to develop the cause of the sea.

To put it mildly, as long as the Japanese at sea do not come to disturb him, Chongzhen will die happily. Trying to oppose them is obviously too far from reality. After thinking about the ins and outs of the matter, Mao Wenlong could only stop asking Hong Chengchou to help him.

He entrusted all the affairs on land to Hong Chengchou, and then prepared to go to Andongwei in Shandong to plan how to start maritime trade.

Hearing that Mao Wenlong was going out again, Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan quit and asked to follow. Faced with the strong pressure of the two ladies, Mao Wenlong, the dragon, could only obediently agree. Fortunately, there was no war in the past this time, so Mao Wenlong didn't say much, and asked his family to pack up and set off immediately.

The two children were already able to run and jump, and when they heard that they were going to go out to play, they were naturally overjoyed. Hiding Mao Wenlong refused to let go, and kept asking all kinds of strange questions about the sea.

In the carriage moving slowly, the sound of milky children was heard from time to time. The eldest girl is already four years old, and the younger brother is also three years old, and children of this age are curious about everything. Especially it is difficult to go far away, and they are even more curious about the outside world.

Mao Wenlong was not in a hurry, he was swaying slowly along the way, and sometimes when he saw a place with good scenery, he stopped to play. From Xi'an to Shandong, it was easy to arrive in half a month, but this time Mao Wenlong took more than a month.

delayed some trips, but Mao Wenlong gained a lot, and the relationship with his family deepened a lot, and the two children were even closer to him.

The three brothers of the Lijia family were waiting outside Anton Wei's city early today. There are more than 10,000 defenders in the entire Anton Guard, and there are no ordinary people living here, all of them are sailors and soldiers living here.

10,000 soldiers and horses stood outside the city waiting for Mao Wenlong and their arrival, their faces full of anticipation. Especially the three brothers of the Lijia family, they had heard early on that Mao Wenlong came here this time to develop maritime trade.

This is the wish of the three brothers of the Lijia family, and Mao Wenlong's arrival this time obviously made them take another big step towards their wishes!

"Big brother, you said that the chief soldier would come this time, but don't be like the previous two times, just come under a pretense, and then there will be no follow-up." The second Licheng muttered with some concern.

"Second brother, you are too worried about this, I didn't hear that this time the general soldier is ready to stay for a long time, and even his family members have brought it over." The third child firmly believes that Mao Wenlong is real this time.

"The third brother is right, the chief soldier even brought his family members over this time, it will definitely not be like the previous two times, you can rest assured. Now that the north has settled down, there is no distraction from war, and the general army can concentrate on developing maritime affairs. "Boss Lihui is also full of confidence.

Seeing that the eldest and the third said this, the second stopped and now the development of the navy is in a bottleneck. If you want to grow and grow, you must have more money, materials and manpower to support it. And all this must depend on Mao Wenlong's determination, only when he opens the golden mouth, everything will continue to be sent to the navy.

"The chief soldier is here!" When the third child saw the slowly approaching convoy in front of him, he immediately exclaimed.

When everyone heard the reputation, they saw Mao Wenlong's convoy, and everyone immediately cheered up and prepared to meet their general soldiers.

Seeing the big formation outside the Andong Acropolis, he smiled and said to Mao Wenlong: "Chief soldier, Lihui and they seem to have been looking forward to your arrival!" ”

Mao Wenlong glanced up and complained: "These three guys, how many times have I told them, there is no need to make such trouble, but they always die without repentance." ”

Haoda laughed and said: "As a subordinate, it is rare for the chief soldier to come once, they are naturally happy, and the chief soldier does not need to blame them." ”

During the conversation, the convoy had already arrived outside the Andong Acropolis, and the three brothers of the Lijia family took the lead in rushing to Mao Wenlong's carriage, kneeling on one leg and clasping their fists and shouting in unison: "Lihui, Licheng, Lixuan welcome the arrival of the chief soldier, Mrs., Miss, and Young Master." ”

The three guys are one-on-one, and the etiquette is impeccable. Behind them were also kneeling soldiers and some officials.

Mao Wenlong got out of the carriage, waved his hand to let the three of them get up, and said unhappily: "Okay, don't engage in these false courtesies, hurry up and arrange a place to stay, and wait until the city for anything." ”

The three brothers of the Lijia family naturally did not dare to disobey Mao Wenlong's order, and greeted Mao Wenlong into the city diligently, and as for Mao Wenlong's family, they naturally had the families of those officials to greet him.

Lijia Mansion has been vacated since yesterday, and after Mao Wenlong entered the city, he moved in directly. After a hectic meal of chickens and dogs, Lifu gradually calmed down.

In the hall of the mansion, Mao Wenlong and the three brothers of the Lijia family sat together.

Mao Wenlong opened his mouth to ask about Antonwei's current situation and the situation of the navy. When it came to business, the three brothers of the Lijia family didn't dare to smile anymore, and the eldest Lihui got up and hugged his fists and said: "Chief soldier, at present, Anton Wei has 10,000 defenders, and everything is fine in the city." At present, the navy has 100 small warships, 5 fortune ships, and more than 40,000 sailors and men in service. ”

Listening to Lihui's report, Mao Wenlong felt quite satisfied, so he continued to ask: "Have you found any traces of the Japanese invaders operating here recently?" ”

Lihui said again: "Chief soldier, I haven't found it anymore, since the last time I got rid of that old nest of the Fusang Sect, I haven't seen any Japanese robbers appear in the sea near here. ”

Mao Wenlong was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Although there has been nothing wrong with it recently, you can't take it lightly. ”

Lihui solemnly assured: "Please rest assured, since the last sudden accident, we have been on guard against the arrival of the Japanese invaders. ”

Mao Wenlong nodded with satisfaction: "The purpose of coming here this time, I believe you should have heard of it." ”

Li Xuan immediately stood up and said, "Chief soldier, I know that you have come here this time to strengthen our navy and carry out maritime trade. ”
