Text: Chapter 80: Soaring Aspirations

The morning breeze gusted, blowing away the clouds that gathered at dawn. A refreshing sensation that comes down with the sun makes people feel unusually comfortable.

Although it is still the height of summer, the temperature on the mountain is not high, not to mention that there are 800 miles of water around Liangshan. This natural air conditioner is not only a barrier for Yangshan, but also gives Yangshan a pleasant climate and comfortable temperature.

Ruan Xiaoer jumped down from the boat, looked at the two younger brothers who were already waiting on the shore, stretched out, and walked over with a smile.

"Second brother, you are the slowest."

Ruan Xiaoqi was an anxious person, and when he saw Ruan Xiaoer coming, he couldn't help but say: "I and my second brother have been here for a long time."

"It's you who are most anxious", Ruan Xiaoer laughed: "The camp of the two of you is the closest to the cottage, why do you complain about me."

Sanruan has been training and garrisoning for a while, and the three brothers saw each other almost every day before, but now they are busy with their own affairs, if they want to get together, unless there is a special period, it will be a little difficult.

"It's you who have a reason", Ruan Xiaoqi couldn't help pouting when he heard this: "I'll see Brother Tianwang in a while, if he asks, see if you dare to say that."

"Haha", Ruan Xiaoer's face was slightly unnatural when he heard it, and then Yile said: "Even when I see my brother, I say the same." Besides, with my brother's temperament, how can I account for these little things."

"Little Wu, what's wrong with the old lady?" When Ruan Xiaoer saw Ruan Xiaowu, he couldn't help asking: "I've been so busy these days, I haven't been to visit him for two or three days."

"It's all good", Ruan Xiaowu nodded: "I just thought that you were in a hurry, and I was shouting that you were going to give her a big fat grandson to play."

"Haha", Ruan Xiaoer laughed: "Am I not working hard?" After meeting Brother Tianwang, I will go to see the old lady."

As he spoke, Ruan Xiaoer walked with his two brothers and walked towards the inside of the cottage.

"Xiao Qi", Ruan Xiaoer said here, and changed his voice: "You are the best at inquiring, what is the matter with my brother looking for me and the other three of us this time?" ”

Chao Gai hadn't summoned the three brothers alone for a while, and it must have been something important to suddenly ask them to go together at this time.

"I really don't know this", Ruan Xiaoqi heard the second brother say this, and he was also puzzled: "I haven't seen anyone else for a few days, yesterday Qin Le's kid came to pass the letter, I also asked him about it, he only said that my brother wanted the three of me to go together, but the others didn't know."

"Isn't there any errand that my brother has to hand over to the three of us?" , Ruan Xiaoer guessed.

A while ago, after inspecting the Liangshan soldiers, Chao Gai put a lot of energy on the horse army and the infantry army. Although there is no horse army that has not yet been formed, Chao Gai has spent a lot of brains, and he has spent a lot of money on horses, asking Duan Jingzhu to open up as many long-term horse routes as possible, and continuously supply the horse army construction of the cottage.

It is the infantry army, Chao Gai has also put a lot of effort, and is trying to find a way to get ordnance from the capital, I heard that there is already a way, and the number is not small.

Right now, only their navy army has not enjoyed Chao Gai's special care. Ruan Xiaoer secretly guessed in his heart that no matter what, it should be their turn to be the head of the water army.

"I think it's very possible", Ruan Xiaowu didn't say too much, but at this time, he obviously couldn't bear it: "Otherwise, what else will my brother do now?" Eating tea and drinking, I don't think it looks like it. At the moment, the cottages are busy, how can my brother have such idle time? ”

"Hey", Ruan Xiaoqi heard the words of the two of them, although he secretly expected it in his heart, but he said: "If you want me to say, let's not guess, it will be clear when we see my brother." Characters like my brother may not even dare to say that even the military advisors dare to understand the big plans in their heads, and how can they be able to understand them thoroughly."

"Yes!"

Ruan Xiaoer nodded, and then quickened his pace with Ruan Xiaoqi and Ruan Xiaowu, and walked towards the Juyi Hall.

When San Ruan arrived at the Juyi Hall, Chao Gai and Lin Chong were talking something. Seeing San Ruan walk in, Chao Gai suddenly smiled and motioned for the three of them to sit down. Lin Chong looked at the three of them and smiled: "The brother of the water army is finally here."

"My brother summoned me and the other three to come today, what good thing should I think of our brothers?" As soon as Ruan Xiaoqi sat down, he looked at Chao Gai and asked anxiously.

Immediately, he pretended to be calm before, but no one knew his temperament. If Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu were just quite curious, his Ruan Xiaoqi's heart was already as uncomfortable as a cat scratch, and he was already so anxious that he was on fire.

"Who is a good thing", Chao Gai couldn't help but be happy when he heard this, he naturally knew why Ruan Xiaoqi in front of him said this, but he still couldn't help but joke: "Maybe it's a chore!" ”

"It's a chore", Ruan Xiaoqi didn't speak, but Ruan Xiaoer preemptively said: "Brother, you don't know, those little cubs under us are complaining all day long." said that those infantry had made meritorious contributions to the cottage, so they showed off in front of them, saying that they were old soldiers, rich and noble, and they were afraid of falling, and they were afraid of melting. Ask us about an errand, too! ”

"That's it, brother, you can't favor one over the other", Ruan Xiaoqi heard this, and nodded heavily: "We have been practicing for a long time, and we have embroidered all over our bodies, so it's time for them to move their muscles and bones."

"Favoring one over the other?"

Chao Gai heard this, so he laughed and said: "You little seven, I see that you have something to say." At present, the cottage is vigorously developing the horse army and infantry, and I think you and the other three should not be able to sit still."

Speaking of this, Chao Gai and Lin Chong immediately looked at each other and smiled, San Ruan was told the central matter, and his face was suddenly a little unnatural, Ruan Xiaoqi said with some sly: "I am telling the truth, brother, don't make fun of me."

"At present, the cottage already has a lot of expenses in order to prepare for the problem of the horse army and the infantry army", Lin Chong looked at Sanruan at this time and said: "You also know that the gold and silver in the inventory of the cottage before were all my brother's private property, but my brother's ancestral business, and the hard work of several generations was spent by us like this. Speaking of which, as the leader of Liang Shanbo, I can't share my brother's worries, and I'm really ashamed."

Seeing Lin Chong say this, San Ruan was suddenly a little embarrassed, Ruan Xiaoqi looked at Chao Gai with a shy face and said: "Brother, it's my Xiaoqi who is angry with the three little families, and I hope that my brother won't go to his heart."

"Yes", Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu also followed up and said: "It's me who has some utilitarianism and makes my brother embarrassed."

"Hey", Chao Gai waved his hand and said with a smile: "The three brothers must not be like this, it is just human nature." If I had changed my cover, I am afraid that I would have chased after me and asked for the treatment of the navy. If you can't wait to come and ask me, it's already a shame for me. What's more, you are also thinking about my cottage, how can I blame the three virtuous brothers! ”

"It's just that the cottage is already in full operation right now, and if the navy is now expanded on a large scale, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult", Chao Gai said again: "The equipment and ships of the navy, with the current strength of Liangshan, are a little difficult to develop on a large scale." ”

But the three brothers should not be taken lightly. According to Chao Gai's assumption, the navy will have to go to sea to fight in the future, so the development of the navy is only a step for us to postpone, but the navy is definitely an important cornerstone of Liangshan, whether now or in the future, it shoulders half of Liangshan's life. ”

"Fighting at sea?"

When Ruan Xiaoqi heard this, he was stunned. glanced at Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaoqi and explained the horror in each other's eyes. Even, Lin Chong on the side was shocked at this time.

"Not bad", Chao Gai nodded: "At the moment, there is a shortage of manpower, and the other is short of money and equipment." However, it was only a matter of time. After all, Liangshan can't just hang in one place in the future, relying on the snort of the Great Song Dynasty to live. At that time, the first thing to stand the test is the navy army of Liangshan."

"Brother, don't worry, we will not disappoint my brother."

Seeing Chao Gai say this, Ruan Xiaoqi and the three of them said in unison. San Ruan and Lin Chong never thought that Chao Gai would plan the future of Liangshan so far, which is definitely a big deal. And Sanruan suddenly felt a heavy responsibility on his shoulders now, before he only knew that the duty of his navy might be to defend Liangshanbo and protect Liangshanbo, and he didn't want his brother to entrust him with such a heavy responsibility, the three of them couldn't help but ask themselves, can they afford that burden?

Lin Chong was also amazed at this time. Although he had already talked to Wu Yong that Chao Gai must have an extraordinary plan for Liangshan, but now when he heard the signal released by Chao Gai, he was immediately shocked by Chao Gai's bold words.

Liang Shan can't live on the snort of the Great Song Dynasty, such ambitions, Yi Lin Chong thought about it, except for Fang La in the south of the Yangtze River, I really can't think of anyone else who has such a sky-high ambition.

Looking at Chao Gai who was calm and calm in front of him, Lin Chong knew that he was afraid that Chao Gai had already had a clear plan in his heart. At this time, he suddenly remembered that Chao Gai did not hesitate to make great efforts to develop the ordnance of the horse army and the infantry army, and he couldn't help but admire it again and again.

Of course, this is also Chaogai. If someone else were to say such things, it would be Lin Chong, and he would definitely think that this person was crazy and talking nonsense. Chao Gai Ziruo didn't know how much shock he had caused to the private person in front of him by unconsciously revealing this bit of information, he just looked at San Ruan and said with a smile:

"Xiao Qi, I called you and others to come here today to stabilize the naval army led by you and the other three people. There is no good wine and meat, but there is one piece of drudgery, who wants to take it over the three of you? ”

Hearing this, the three of them were stunned for a moment, and then, almost in unison, they stood up and said to Chao Gai excitedly: "Little brother is willing to go!" ”

Before, I thought that Chao Gai called the three of them to come just to appease the army, but now that there is really an errand, how can the three of them be unhappy?

"Oh?"

Seeing this, Chao Gai and Lin Chong looked at each other and smiled, but there was not much surprise.

"Brother, what kind of errand is it, you just need to give an order, the three of us definitely don't have half a word!" , Ruan Xiaoqi looked at Chao Gai, and the anxious problem was committed again.

Although Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu didn't say anything more, the expressions on their faces already said everything.

"Now that the cottage is spending a lot of money, it's time to find a way to make money!"
