~~~~~~

Li Yuanqing came to the kitchen, and sure enough, he saw that Qu Minqiu was standing by the lotus pond on the side in a daze, with a somewhat resentful expression, like a charming begonia standing in the wind, but at this time, it was indescribably weak. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Li Yuanqing walked over, but she didn't find it.

"What's wrong? Running here in a daze? Li Yuanqing smiled and shook Qu Minqiu's little hand.

"Yikes. You're a ghost. Do you walk without sound? Qu Minqiu was taken aback, and it took a moment to react, and she glanced at Li Yuanqing coquettishly.

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Obviously you're too distracted, okay?" ”

As he spoke, Li Yuanqing casually stroked a wisp of green silk from her forehead to her sideburns, and smiled gently: "Minqiu, what's wrong?" Got something on your mind? ”

Qu Minqiu ignored Li Yuanqing, "You elm pimple." ”

Li Yuanqing was a little speechless, and said with a smile: "Aren't I here?" It's not like you don't know, I'm a little tired today and almost fell asleep in the bathtub. ”

Qu Minqiuqiao's face couldn't help but flush with an indescribable flush, which was tempting. How could she not understand the deep meaning of Li Yuanqing's words?

If she wants, she can also serve Li Yuanqing to take a bath.

Seeing that Qu Minqiu was reluctant to speak, Li Yuanqing gently played with her little hand, leaned into her ear and whispered: "Minqiu, then~~, then let's go talk in the firewood room next door?" ”

Qu Minqiu's face turned even redder, and she couldn't help but glance at Li Yuanqing, "Didn't you say you're tired?" Where is it so energetic? ”

Li Yuanqing had already realized at this time that Qu Minqiu's mood didn't seem to be too good, and said with a gentle smile: "Minqiu, between us, do you still need to do this?" If you have something on your mind, say it. There's nothing that can't be solved. It's all with me. ”

Qu Minqiu glanced at Li Yuanqing, couldn't help but sigh slightly, and thought for a moment before saying, "Yuanqing, I, I want to go back to Qu's house to have a look." ”

Li Yuanqing was stunned for a moment, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, he had already faintly felt some of the context of the matter at this time, and said in a low voice: "Minqiu, are you sad about the girl's matter?" ”

"Huh?"

Qu Minqiu didn't expect Li Yuanqing to grasp the core of the matter so quickly, and couldn't help but be stunned, "Yuanqing, no, it's been almost five years since I came to Changsheng Island, and I haven't been back to Shanxi......"

It's just that Qu Minqiu even feels that this explanation is a little pale and weak.

Li Yuanqing smiled and whispered in Qu Minqiu's ear: "Minqiu, don't worry." The wife of the chaff does not go down to court. No matter how muddy I, Li Yuanqing, I will not make a mistake in this kind of thing. What's more, is it a delicate beauty like you? If you want to go back to Shanxi, I will accompany you back. Let's go back in style. ”

"Yuanqing ......"

Qu Minqiu didn't expect Li Yuanqing to give her such a solid personal guarantee, and for a while, tears flashed in her big eyes.

Li Yuanqing held her little hand tightly, and suddenly whispered, "You go to the firewood room and wait for me." I'll ask them to cook a dish. We still have time to cook. ”

"You ----!"

Qu Minqiu glared at Li Yuanqing vigorously, but glanced left and right, saw that he didn't notice this, and hurriedly walked to the firewood room next door.

Li Yuanqing smiled slightly, and hurriedly walked to the kitchen......

…………

The dinner ended in a warm and joyful atmosphere, and Li Yuanqing also returned to Zhang Yunniang's room to rest.

However, although it seems to be quiet and peaceful on the outside, in private, there is a vague undercurrent surging in his back house.

At first, Li Yuanqing was still a little angry, but after thinking about it carefully, Li Yuanqing understood that this was also inevitable.

As the saying goes, 'where there are people, there are rivers and lakes'.

The girl's matter seems to be very small, but in fact, it affects the general trend of the entire Changsheng Island.

How to grasp it can only rely on Li Yuanqing's control.

Zhang Yunniang obviously didn't know that Li Yuanqing and Qu Minqiu were already in the firewood room, and the girl's matter, she and her family were the biggest beneficiaries, and tonight, they were also extra active.

In the face of Zhang Yunniang's 'provocation', which was almost Chiguoguo, Li Yuanqing could only cheer up and devote himself to a new battle......

…………

Although he fought several times in one night, as soon as it dawned the next day, Li Yuanqing instinctively got up, and his strong fighting spirit returned to the same as before.

Life is like that, as long as you live, there will be endless challenges, no matter how you do.

Escaping is obviously not the way, only to puff up your chest and stride through these obstacles one by one, is the best way to solve the problem.

Although Zhang Yunniang was very passionate last night, she couldn't get out of bed this morning.

After being served by Xiaolian and Xiaohe, dressed and washed, Li Yuanqing moved his hands and feet in the courtyard for a while, and then came to the official hall for breakfast.

After a while, Shang Lao Liu and Steward Ma arrived on time and exchanged opinions with Li Yuanqing first.

Subsequently, the main officers of the supervising army Wei Liang, Duan Xiliang, Guan Canghai, Xu Heizi, Huang Guoshan, Liu Dadou, Kong Youde, Xu Liang, Yang Peifu, Joseph, Thomas, and Peter Luo of the Ordnance Workshop, including Ren Dahai, Ren Qizhu, Qi Mingwei, and Qi Gangcheng, also arrived in turn.

Although Li Yuanqing has only been away from Changsheng Island for a month, in just over this month, several key affairs on Changsheng Island have made great progress.

After a brief greeting, everyone went straight to the point.

First of all, Guan Canghai and Xu Heizi returned from the south and brought back a large number of sweet potato seeds.

Now that spring has begun, the land has been turned over and can be planted at any time, just waiting for Li Yuanqing's speech.

Guan Canghai explained the process of the trip in detail, they first arrived in Dengzhou by boat, and then quickly traveled to the south, back and forth, in less than a month.

"General, the cultivation of sweet potatoes in the south has been on a certain scale, especially in the east of Nanjing, near Xu Gelao's hometown of Shanghai County, which is quite effective. These days, Lao Xu and I have also tasted a lot of various sweet potatoes, and most of them taste good. It can be steamed, baked, and boiled, it is really a treasure. Planting on our Changsheng Island, I think, there shouldn't be much of a problem. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled and nodded, "Sweet potatoes are a good thing." In this way, the business steward, in addition to the cultivated land for wheat and corn, all the other good land on the island was used to grow sweet potatoes. Let's do it today. Start implementing it today. ”

"Yes." Shang Lao Liu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly responded to the matter.

Li Yuanqing looked at Guan Canghai and Xu Heizi with a smile again, "Canghai, Heizi, have you visited Xu Ge's old house?" ”

Guan Canghai smiled, "Let the Heizi brothers talk about this." ”

Xu Heizi nodded with a smile, looked at Li Yuanqing and said, "General, Canghai and I went to visit Xu Ge's hometown and got received by Xu Ge's elder. He was very appreciative of our efforts to promote and grow sweet potatoes, but he refused our invitation on the grounds that he was too old to go far away. General, if you want Elder Xu Ge to come to Changsheng Island to inspect, we need to spend some more effort. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded slowly.

Although the matter had been expected for a long time, listening to Xu Heizi say it, Li Yuanqing still felt a little indescribable in his heart.

Although he Li Yuanqing has become famous all over the world, it is still far from enough to make Xu Guang start his heart. Of course, this also has a lot to do with Li Yuanqing's lack of skills and his inability to come to Shanghai to invite him in person.

"Huh. How far-reaching is Xu Ge's vision? Since he supports the promotion of sweet potatoes, then we must do this well. Ladies and gentlemen, agriculture is more important than the sky, and no one should neglect this regard. ”

Everyone nodded yes.

Li Yuanqing also carefully discussed and negotiated with everyone on the details to ensure that there were no mistakes in any link.

In an agrarian society, the productive forces are not advanced enough, and the matter of 'eating' is more important than the sky.

After all, only the people can have enough to eat, which is the cornerstone of everything.

Due to its geographical location, Changsheng Island is located in the north, and to a large extent, crops can only be 'ripened once a year'.

The importance of sweet potatoes, that is, sweet potatoes, is self-evident in the demand for Changsheng Island.

Sweet potato seeds are not valuable, and for a tael of silver, you can buy a whole bunch. However, due to various conditions, this high-yield and high-energy crop has not been promoted in Daming.

Li Yuanqing could only endure his temperament and vigorously promote planting on Changsheng Island, including Zhongdao and West Island, as well as the land around Nanxinkou and the Yangguanbao area.

Although the land and weather in Liaodi are bitterly cold, the growth of sweet potatoes is extremely high, and Li Yuanqing also pressed the great hope of agriculture on this magic weapon.

Originally, Li Yuanqing also planned to give these seeds to Dongjiang and Mao Wenlong, but at this time, the results have not been received, and Mao Wenlong has already gone to Laozhai, everything can only wait for the end of the war, Changsheng Island has a harvest, and Li Yuanqing will promote sweet potatoes to Mao Wenlong.

After discussing the sweet potato, the next step is cement.

The main road leading from the urban area to Beixinkou has basically been completely paved with cement pavement, and the effect is quite good, and everyone has accepted this kind of thing.

Shang Lao Liu smiled and said, "General, the effect of cement is very good. The humble position has been tested many times to test its bearing strength, and it is even better than the bluestone slab. The lowly is in favor of the promotion of cement. It's just that in terms of several cement plants, the current production capacity is not enough. Let's have to have a first, a last. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded.

Cement is also regarded as a product of high technology in later generations, and its effect has been proven by history, and it is also necessary to promote it.

But now there is no mixer, everything has to be done manually little by little, and Li Yuanqing can only endure and use good steel on the blade.

"In this matter, let's focus on the Nanxinkou wharf, the barracks, the fort, and the main road. Strive to connect the urban area to Nanxinkou by June! ”

"Yes."

Li Yuanqing spoke, who would dare to slack off? Everyone hurriedly nodded respectfully.

Next, Steward Ma came out and said with a smile: "General, Sakhalin Xiharwei, Wang Damao and Cao Jizhou also have good news. Their fleet has entered the Liaohai Sea and will soon arrive. At that time, more than 250,000 taels of silver will arrive with furs and miscellaneous goods. ”

Wang Damao and Cao Jizhou's stronghold in the Xiharwei on Sakhalin Island was the first pilot of Li Yuanqing's troops stationed outside the mainland, and the results are not bad now.

However, in the bitter cold of the Northland, the rotation system is also a top priority.

After all, they are all dragging their families with their families, and they can't always let the soldiers and their families live separately, and this is also not good for Li Yuanqing's control.

Personnel.

Finance.

They are the two most critical magic weapons for Li Yuanqing to control Changsheng Island, and they are also the cornerstone of everything.

In this regard, he did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

After thinking for a while, Li Yuanqing said: "Wang Damao and Cao Jizhou have made a meritorious trip, so they will each be promoted to one level." However, all materials and personnel still have to follow the rules. The specific transfer will be discussed after they return to the island. ”

"Yes."

"General, and the turrets and weapons ...... the armory."
