Outside the gate of the mansion, more than a dozen carriages had already been prepared, and Niu Gensheng was waiting for him with three hundred personal soldiers. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In ordinary times, you can't go shopping in the main city not far from the official hall, and you don't need such a big pomp. Zhang Yunniang and Qu Minqiu have to go out to work almost every day.

But at this time, this is Li Yuanqing going out with his family, and in terms of safety, he can't be even more lazy, this is responsible for himself, but also for others.

"General." "General."

Seeing Li Yuanqing coming, Niu Gensheng and a group of pro-soldiers saluted one after another.

Li Yuanqing smiled and nodded, did not get into the carriage, but turned over his BMW, waved his hand and said, "Let's go." Everyone, take it easy, don't be so nervous. ”

Soon, the team began to set off.

But although Li Yuanqing said it easily, how could Niu Gensheng dare to be careless? Hurriedly rode his horse and followed behind Li Yuanqing, watching the six roads, listening to the eight directions, and responding to the overall situation at any time.

Li Yuanqing's official hall is about two miles away from the main street of Changsheng Island, and the surrounding area of the official hall is the residence of the officers on the island.

Although the new Zhenjiang gentry also wanted to squeeze into this area, the land was definitely not enough, so they chose to build a mansion not far north of the official hall.

After more than a month of construction, the mansions of these wealthy gentry have also become quite large-scale, and Changsheng Island has more and more signs of a city.

As you move towards the central area, the streets become more and more lively, with all kinds of small traders and vendors shouting for the surplus produce of each family, and of course, there are some craftsmen among them.

Like what buns are blunt, fried dough tofu brains, sugar people, rock sugar gourds, and even those that specialize in pickles, there are all kinds and all-inclusive.

In dealing with business on the island, Li Yuanqing has always been very open and open-minded.

The world is always evolving, just like the earth is always turning.

Self-contained, self-sufficient, in a short period of time, seems to be able to stabilize Li Yuanqing's rule, but it is not conducive to the real development and prosperity of Changsheng Island.

At this time, Li Yuanqing had taken root on Changsheng Island for more than four years, and even with the addition of the Zhenjiang gentry, the inherent interest class on the island had basically taken shape.

With the support of these old brothers, coupled with his absolute control over personnel, finances, and the army, Li Yuanqing is not worried, who dares not to open his eyes and jump out to rebel.

Deeply aware of the laws of history, Li Yuanqing knows very well that if he wants to create a vibrant city, the most important point is to give people an upward path.

For example, at this time on Changsheng Island, directly joining the army, joining the battle sequence of the Changsheng Battalion, killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions, and glorifying the ancestors, is obviously the best and most direct 'Golden Avenue'.

But the so-called 'dragon gives birth to nine sons, and the sons are different', and the ten fingers are still long and short, let alone human?

Especially after the number of men on the island increases, Changsheng Island has more reserve labor, and there is more room for choice in recruiting and selecting new soldiers.

Only those who are excellent can join the battle soldiers and auxiliaries of the Immortal Battalion.

As a result, if the conditions are not good enough, or if the body is already disabled, the way up is basically cut off.

In this era, due to the reasons of productivity, the material is far from underdeveloped, especially among the poor people, the probability of various 'invisible disabilities' is quite high.

In the face of such disadvantaged groups, it is obviously not enough to rely on Li Yuanqing's relief alone, and opening up the market and allowing them to do some small business according to their strengths has, to a large extent, also given them an upward path.

As long as they work hard, one day, they can also become rich people, so as to gain more voice.

Of course, after the opening of the market, there are many contradictions.

First of all, it is not easy to manage.

However, with the experience of later generations, Li Yuanqing also saved a lot of effort, and it is okay to set up a stall, but it must be registered and registered, and only after obtaining the permission of the government can it be guaranteed.

For some more technical trades, such as cured meat, marinated meat, and salted fish, these foods that can be stored for a long time, and are delicious and pleasant, and high-energy food, in addition to serving the needs of the people's tongues on weekdays, can also be added to the war preparations and used as military salaries at critical moments.

In later generations, the Jin merchants, especially the so-called 'Eight Great Imperial Merchants' of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, were simply sprayed with no skin and no good value.

But there is a mirror of history, but Li Yuanqing is very clear.

It is the nature of businessmen to seek profits.

As Marx famously said, 'With 300 per cent profits, the capitalists can treat the gallows as nothing.' ’

But people forget that the slave chief Xiao Mazi, including his grandson 'Shiquan Emperor', has personally conquered the northwest several times, and the reason why it has been so smooth is that the merits of the Jin merchants must not be drowned.

Even, later, the Manchu court directly handed over the heavy task of military needs to the Jin merchants, and they themselves were only responsible for leading the army and sending troops.

In the hundreds of years since the Age of Discovery, even until later generations, it is no exaggeration to say that this is ,----- world of capital.

It is a world in which capital has grown, developed, grown, and spread.

At this time, although the Ming Dynasty was a little messy, the roots of the gentry did not waver.

Standing after breaking is the best way to maintain the rule, but it will also hurt the capital, especially at this time, the capital of the Ming Dynasty is only in the faint embryonic stage, and it is far from strong enough.

The history of China stretches for 5,000 years and has always ranked first in the world, but it is the era since the end of the Ming Dynasty, the most important opportunity of the Age of Discovery, because of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, because of some internal barriers, China has fallen behind all of a sudden.

I have to say that this is the tragedy of the Ming Dynasty and the tragedy of the Chinese nation.

Capital.

It's an angel, but at the same time, it's a devil.

In Changsheng Island, in Liaodi, and in Daming, Li Yuanqing will do his best to turn her into an angel, but externally, Li Yuanqing is willing to turn her into a devil.

World.

Someone has to change.

Otherwise, even if personal interests are achieved, what is the difference between them and the Manchus?

Li Yuanqing's bright red handsome flag fluttered high, and the pedestrians on the street consciously moved out of the way.

It's just that after seeing Li Yuanqing come in person, the people on the street were about to boil, and the shouts of "General Wansheng" and "General Marquis Wandai" were about to pierce the sky.

Li Yuanqing had no choice but to stop his horse and gesture to everyone again and again, but before he reached the intersection of the main street, the team was almost blocked by the flow of people.

In the carriage, Qu Minqiu couldn't help but sigh softly, looked at Zhang Yunniang helplessly, and said, "Yunniang, it seems that it will be difficult for us to shop on this street today." ”

Zhang Yunniang opened the curtain and looked at the most familiar tall figure not far ahead, but her big eyes were full of admiration, her Yuanqing brother, no matter what he did, was the best.

"Minqiu, it shouldn't matter, right? I'm sure my brother can handle things well. ”

Qu Minqiu couldn't help but be speechless for a while, so he had to open the curtain opposite, be patient, and wait for Li Yuanqing to solve the matter.

Ahead, although his head was a little big, Li Yuanqing enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by the crowd in the center very much.

This is his people, his private property.

On Eternal Life Island, he is the real king.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is a good day. The general just went out shopping with his family. Do what you have to do. Don't delay today's business. Ladies and gentlemen......"

With the pro-soldiers shouting loudly that their voices were about to shout hoarsely, the excited crowd finally got some control, and they all got out of the way and let Li Yuanqing and his party pass.

Li Yuanqing rode on a horse and gestured to the surrounding people again and again.

This 'bad guy' is naturally taken by the pro-soldiers, and he, Li Yuanqing, will never be the one.

It was a mile or so long, but it took almost an hour to walk, and by the time the group arrived at the largest silk village on the main street, it was almost dark.

Fortunately, Li Yuanqing had already prepared, and the soldiers had already bought a large bag of snacks and snacks along the way, and the children clapped their hands happily.

However, on the side of the female dependents, Li Yuanqing is destined to be looked down upon.

Fortunately, next door to the silk village is the rouge gouache shop, and after they finish buying the silk, they can go directly to buy rouge gouache.

As soon as they entered the silk village, these women had already left Li Yuanqing behind, and the laughter of the warbler was full of swallows.

Li Yuanqing was able to relax at this time, moved the soft couch to the inconspicuous corner opposite the counter, and looked at the infinite style in front of him with a smile.

has been on Changsheng Island for so many years, this is the first time Li Yuanqing has gone out shopping with his family, and Li Yuanqing will naturally not be stingy with his beautiful wives and concubines, each of them has five clothes, choose at will, pick at will.

Anyway, this silk village and gouache shop are Li Yuanqing's industry, and a few pieces of silk and clothes are just a drop in the bucket.

Plus you can make women happy, so why not?

It is the real owners here, Zhang Yunniang and Qu Minqiu, who are also infected by the sisters around them, laughing and choosing their favorite clothes and satins.

It's a pity that although there are a lot of underwear here, they all go to the surrounding fitting rooms to try on, and these fitting rooms are very closed, Li Yuanqing has no choice but to 'look at the ocean and sigh'.

His bikini dream still has a long way to go.

At this time, a familiar figure floated through a fragrant breeze and came to Li Yuanqing, "Yuanqing, you let me go, I'll go for an interview." ”

Li Yuanqing was distracted, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Zhang Baozhu.

Just a month ago, Zhang Baozhu had just given birth to a baby son for Li Yuanqing, and at this time, she had just been out of confinement for a few days, and she was suffocated in the house.

At this time, she was like a bird flying out of the cage, and she was extremely happy.

"What are you doing stupidly? Get out of the way. There's no room there, so let's go to dinner early. The kids are hungry. ”

Zhang Baozhu said as he came to Li Yuanqing and was about to push open the door of the fitting room beside Li Yuanqing.

Although she has just come out of confinement, her figure has basically recovered, her skin is more delicate and fair, and her figure is slightly fuller than before, but it adds a bit of roundness and charm of a mature woman.

Li Yuanqing suddenly smiled, what is this called? There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them.

was bored, but Zhang Baozhu suddenly came here, but Li Yuanqing had a good idea.

Thinking about it, Li Yuanqing hurriedly stood up with a smile, "Baozhu, be careful." I'll help you. ”

Zhang Baozhu walked into the fitting room with a smile, and was about to thank Li Yuanqing for a few words, when he suddenly found that Li Yuanqing followed him quickly and closed the door of the fitting room.

Seeing that Li Yuanqing's big hand had stretched out along the gap in her waist, Zhang Baozhu's pretty face couldn't help blushing, and she whispered: "Yuanqing, you, you're crazy." ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, casually took Zhang Baozhu in his arms, and laughed in a low voice: "Baozhu, we don't have much time." They found out, but I'm fine, you're here...... Hey hey ......"

Zhang Baozhu was about to speak, but suddenly found that Li Yuanqing's scorching breath had blocked her red lips.

Zhang Baozhu slapped Li Yuanqing's back a few times, but after a while, she also found that it was useless, and soon, she was also ignited by Li Yuanqing, so she could only let Li Yuanqing do whatever he wanted.

In the already small space, the temperature suddenly rises......
