Liu Yong boarded the Yongshi and embarked on the return journey back to the Great Song Dynasty, which took more than two months to sail at sea, and almost two years had passed when he arrived in the Great Song Dynasty.

is going back to the Great Song Dynasty, and the most excited is Yun'er. She's just had enough of being at sea. Liu Yong asked her if she would follow her next time she went to sea?

She said, "Of course, I'll be there when Xianggong is there." ”

Liu Yong was full of emotion.

Having found a place to live in the future, Liu Yong is also a matter of concern, and the next thing is to build this small island. He planned to return to the Great Song Dynasty and invite some craftsmen to go to Lion City Island, and he wanted to build that small island into a modern city. But there is a problem, that is, there is no cement, let alone reinforced concrete, and it seems that it is difficult to build a modern city.

In later generations, he didn't understand how cement was made, and he didn't have the experience to study it, so he finally decided to build it according to the architecture of the Great Song Dynasty. But Liu Yong had to build the city's drainage system.

Liu Yong, Su Erniang, and Yun'er were thinking about this question while eating. When he thought of it, the wine glass in his hand stopped in the air.

Su Erniang and Yun'er stopped their chopsticks and glanced at each other, and then looked at Liu Yong at the same time.

"Xianggong, what do you want?" Yun'er couldn't help but ask.

Liu Yong just shook his head, smiled, and said, "Oh, I'm thinking about the construction of Lion City Island!" ”

"Building the Lion Island?"

Su Erniang and Yun'er couldn't help but glance at each other again.

"Xianggong, we live very well in Lin'an Mansion, why do you want to spend so much money to build this small island?" Yun'er asked.

Su Erniang also said: "Yes, Xianggong, isn't there already a building on that island?" How else to build? In my opinion, just fix it up. Even if we were all here, we would be able to stay very comfortably, wouldn't we? ”

Liu Yong smiled after hearing the doubts of the two ladies.

"Xianggong, what are you laughing at? Am I not right? Yun'er asked.

Liu Yong shook his head, smiled, and said, "If we want to stay on that Lion City Island, are you two willing?" ”

This question made Su Erniang and Yun'er glance at each other, and they didn't know what Liu Yong thought, even if the Lion City Island was built well, it couldn't compare to Lin'an Mansion, besides, the Great Song Dynasty was their home, and they were always a little reluctant.

But one thing they know is that they will follow Liu Yong wherever he goes.

"Whether you want it or not, I still say the same thing, I will be where the husband is." Yun'er expressed her stance again.

Then Su Erniang also expressed the same attitude.

Liu Yong was very satisfied, and reached out to grab Yun'er and Su Erniang's hands respectively.

"You are really my good lady." Liu Yong said from the bottom of his heart.

Su Erniang and Yun'er smiled at each other, and then they both looked at Liu Yong infatuatedly.

However, Yun'er just talked about the problem of money, which is indeed a big problem. To build a city, it costs money. He put all the gold earned from this trade on Shicheng Island, where he left Su Erniang's original subordinate Wu Qing, who is now Liu Yong's general.

500,000 taels of gold is not enough. Liu Yong doesn't count it, he needs at least more than 10 million taels of gold. Because he was going to build palaces like palaces on the island, and then he would build markets, schools, hospitals, houses, gardens, and even temples. Of course, there are also very important fortifications, and he has to build a large port that can berth the Eternal.

The construction of the port is the first task, as long as there is a port, all the construction materials can be transported to the island. Otherwise, everything is empty talk.

In this way, even 10 million taels of gold may not be enough. And he can't take out all the money he has. In fact, his annual expenses are still very large. If nothing else, the annual consumption of this fifteen-thousand-strong army is the income of the entire southwest.

Fortunately, the soy sauce business and the bank business are doing well, but these revenues alone are not enough. He had to develop new sources of income, and the simplest way to do that was to look for untapped gold and silver mines. Only by mining and making gold ingots and coins by yourself is the fastest way to make money.

Gold is always hard currency.

Because they were about to go back to the Great Song Dynasty, it made Su Erniang and Yun'er as restless, because the sooner they arrived, the more anxious they became, and they couldn't wait to fly back.

Liu Yong actually has such emotions, but he is very good at resolving these troubles, in fact, he doesn't need to distract him, just think more about the future.

Because there's still a lot to come.

He thinks about it every day and determines the construction time of the Lion City, which is about ten years. He was not in a hurry, because it would take more than twenty years for the Mongols to completely defeat the Great Song Dynasty.

Let's build slowly.

The fleet sped up and sailed, and more than two months later, the fleet sailed into the Qiantang River. Lin'an Mansion is right in front of you.

Yun'er and Su Erniang were bouncing on the bow of the boat and pointing to Lin'an Mansion in the distance.

It's getting closer, it's getting closer. Due to the huge size of the Yongshi, he couldn't moor the wharf on the river at all, so he had to stop in the middle of the river.

Liu Yong, Yun'er Su Erniang, and little Muhammad took a small boat to the dock of Lin'an Mansion together.

The largest and most luxurious city in the world is back in front of us.

Looking at the magnificent building, the traffic was continuous, and the pedestrians were one after another, Yun'er couldn't help but admire: "It's better for us to be in the Song Dynasty." ”

Lin Qingrou and the others didn't know that Liu Yong had arrived today, so no one came to greet them. It's better that way, and it's a big surprise for them.

Among the several burdens were gifts that Liu Yong bought for his family, and everyone had them. After Liu Yong instructed Li Kui to take care of the fleet and crew, he hired a few carriages in Matou and returned to his Liu Mansion.

As soon as I arrived at the house, it exploded, and the whole Liu Mansion seemed to suddenly wake up from sleep, noisy and noisy, and the people shuttled back and forth, busy with the return of the master.

When Chen An and Yue Peng heard about it, they hurriedly put down what they were doing and rushed home to meet Liu Yong.

Lin Qingrou, Ouyang Lanlan, and Zhang Xixi cried when they saw Liu Yong. They really miss each other. And the children also threw themselves into Liu Yong's arms, very affectionate, Yanping is a year older, a lot taller, and a lot more sensible. The rest of the little ones also grew taller and kissed their father's cheeks with joy.

After all, it's his own child, it's just one word: pro.

Yingying also cried, and Liu Yong comforted her a few words.

Then the gifts were distributed to everyone. Everyone was elated, and for a while, Liu's mansion turned into a sea of joy.

Liu Yong was even happier because he successfully completed his maiden voyage.
