That night, the cottage was brightly lit and jubilant, and the aroma of wine and meat was overflowing.

Liu Yong drank with several backbones of the cottage, and at the same time sighed that he actually had an army. It can be regarded as worthy of this wave of crossing.

There were a few of Su Erniang's original subordinates, and when they knew that their original king had married the current lord, they all congratulated her. Su Erniang also seemed to have returned to the time when she ate meat and drank wine in a big bowl, and drank with a few former brothers.

This night, the cottage was scattered until the third watch.

The next day, Liu Yong went to Mixed Tower Mountain to inspect again, and was personally accompanied by the sick fairy. There, Liu Yong also gave a lecture to cheer up the soldiers.

Liu Yong was very satisfied with this inspection, and then he lived in the cottage for a few days, but he kept thinking about a problem.

So the day before he left, he gathered all the generals.

"Guys, I don't know which river is closest to here?" Liu Yong asked.

This sick immortal knew best, because he had already grasped the map here in his heart. He immediately said: "Naturally, it's the Dadu River." ”

"Okay, Jiang Heng, after I leave tomorrow, you will train five thousand sailors for me, and I will be useful in a few years." Liu Yong said.

"Sailors?" The sick fairy seemed to be a little puzzled, and then he looked at the few generals around him, and those people were even more puzzled.

"What do you mean, lord?" The sick fairy asked.

"Jiang Heng, I'm going to sail to the sea in a few years, so I need sailors." Liu Yong said.

"Oh, I see." Jiang Heng nodded.

"Also, if there is a war in the future, there will be more naval battles. If this group of soldiers retires, they will not be trained by land and water. Liu Yong said. He felt that it was time to prepare for the war that would follow. It is impossible to train an invincible army in a few decades.

The sick immortal Jiang Heng nodded thoughtfully, and said after a moment of silence: "Then my lord, we need a boat, and we also need to build a military base by the river." ”

Liu Yong understood what the sick immortal Jiang Heng meant, didn't he just ask for money!

"I will ask Lin Hualang to give you the money to build the base, and I will also ask him to buy two warships and send them. You just have to train the soldiers for me. Don't become a shrimp when you go to sea. Liu Yong said.

The sick immortal Jiang Heng immediately stood up, bowed to Liu Yong, and said, "My lord, please rest assured." I am familiar with the tactics of both the Navy and the Army. It will definitely train you a strong sailor army. ”

"Good. I believe you. Liu Yong nodded.

After arranging some more matters, Liu Yong, Su Erniang, and Liu Qiang rode back to Meizhou City the next morning.

I went to Lijia Village to visit.

The old village chief was much older than before, and he still entertained Liu Yong with great enthusiasm.

At the wine table, the old village chief toasted Liu Yong on behalf of all the villagers.

"Liu Daguanren." The old village chief didn't know that Liu Yong was already a household servant. "On behalf of the men, women and children of the village, I have a toast to you. I wish the business of the officials a prosperous and prosperous future. ”

Liu Yong took a drink and invited the old man to sit down.

"Old man, how is life in the village lately?" Liu Yong asked.

"Hehe, the blessing of dragging the big officials, it's all right. Since the officials gave us salt, tea, soy sauce, and cloth, the life of the villagers was much better than before. They never went out again. They all stayed in the village with peace of mind. In this way, my village protector can be regarded as worry-free. The old village chief replied.

Liu Yong nodded and drank a glass of wine, his heart was still strange about this unreasonable village rule in Lijia Village, and he wanted to help the villagers abolish it. Otherwise, without the movement of people, this village would have been destroyed sooner or later. But he also knew that it was a difficult thing to do, because this village rule seemed to be demonic. After all, there have been people who tried to defy the law, but they ended up with no problems.

If we want to solve this matter, we need to think long-term.

Liu Yong asked some more about the marriage of close relatives in the village, because there was no flow of people, and in the future, the village would be full of people who were related by blood, and the marriage of close relatives was inevitable.

said that at this time, the old man was very calm, not only did not think so, but felt calm.

"Hehe, the big officials have filtered, our Li people have been here for nearly two hundred years, and nothing unusual has happened."

The old village chief laughed.

Liu Yong nodded, looked at Liu Qiang and Su Erniang, they knew what Liu Yong was thinking in his heart. It's all a fog.

And what Liu Yong thought was that he was going to visit Lijia Village at night with Liu Qiang and Su Erniang tonight. Because he always felt that there was a big secret hidden in this village. And this secret is not even known to the people in the village, or only a few people know, and more likely, only one person knows. And this person is probably the old village chief.

Liu Yong made up his mind and stopped asking the old village chief about the village. But he also had to find a clue. If you want to find this clue, you have to start with the old village chief.

Liu Yong made up his mind in his heart, smiled, and then said that he was going to visit the village chief's house after drinking a few glasses of wine with the village chief and several village chiefs.

"Old man, I have passed by Lijia Village several times, but I have never visited your house." Liu Yong arched his hand.

As soon as the old village chief heard this, he understood what Liu Yong meant, so he hurriedly said, "Oh, this is all the old man's negligence. However, the cold house is messy, for fear of staining the eyes of Liu Daguan! ”

"Hehe, the old man is too worried." Liu Yong said with a smile.

"Okay, then please!" The old village chief hurriedly got up and asked Liu Yong to go to their house.

Liu Yong followed the old village chief to a small courtyard in the middle of the village that looked quite bright. One main house, two small wings.

The old village chief's wife and daughter hurriedly introduced Liu Yong, Liu Qiang and Su Erniang into the house in a panic, and made tea in a panic.

Liu Yong sat on the top seat and looked at the room with his eyes.

"Liu Daguan, this house of the old man is ancestral, and it has been five generations if you count the old man." The old village chief said respectfully.

Liu Yong nodded. After thinking about it, he asked, "Old man, do you have such a thing as a village history genealogy in your village?" ”

"This, please also ask the officials to forgive their sins, this genealogy can't be seen by outsiders. There are village chronicles, too, but they are not for outsiders to see. The old village chief said.

Liu Yong nodded, he knew that if there were those two things, the old man would not show them to him. But he still has to ask, that is, to confirm whether there is such a thing in this Lijia Village, as long as there is, then there is a chance to see it.

The next step was to determine where these two things were.

"Oh, it's fine. I'm just asking. Because every family, every village, has these things? Just like our Liu family also has a family tree. Liu Yong hurriedly played some sloppy eyes and let the old man know that he was just asking casually.

The old village chief nodded.
