Chapter 206: Heavy Artillery

~~~~~~~

The progress of the military marriage is even smoother than Li Yuanqing imagined, although there are some small twists and turns in jealousy, but the overall situation is still within a controllable range. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the evening, more than 2,000 veterans who have houses basically have a suitable other half, and as for the remaining recruits and strong girls, they can only wait for the next time.

After all, Changsheng Island now has limited resources, and it is impossible to take out so many houses as their new houses at once.

Both parties have determined each other, and the rest is to register and go through the process.

Shang Lao Liu and Steward Ma have already prepared dozens of scribes, and the men and women who can write and write on Changsheng Island are basically involved, and Qu Minqiu will also personally participate in making a book for the officers at or above the general level.

As soon as the words were written in black and white, their marriage was stamped with a seal and was legal and valid.

Next, there was a grand dinner, followed by Li Yuanqing's speech, congratulating them on their new marriage.

Later, it will be the cave house.

Looking at the pair of anxious and busy figures below, Li Yuanqing was also in a good mood, and smiled and teased the sixth Shang Lao Liudao beside him: "Brother Shang, we are more boys and girls now." What do you think? Aren't you going to share a little for the island and rescue a few women? ”

Shang Lao Liu couldn't help but glance at Li Yuanqing, "Yuanqing, if you want to do this, you will do it." Your family has a big business, don't worry about adding a few pairs of chopsticks. I'm a small family, and I want to live a few more years. ”

Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing, and just wanted to say something, but Liu Chunhua walked over with a smile, "Yuanqing, why are you so happy?" ”

Liu Chunhua is now the chief housekeeper of the women's camp, and she is responsible for coordinating and responsible for all the affairs of the women's camp, and to some extent, her power is much greater than that of Shang Lao Liu.

Today, she is also busy with her feet not touching the ground, and now she has time to catch her breath by registering and making a register.

Seeing her coming, Li Yuanqing hurriedly smiled: "It's nothing." Sister-in-law Chunhua, I was thinking just now, the sons and daughters are married, which is a great thing. We still have a lot of fat sheep here, so let's have some slaughtered and distributed to these new households tomorrow. Well. Not less than 1 pound of mutton per household. ”

Liu Chunhua smiled, "You tell the old merchant about this matter and let him do it." ”

Shang Lao Liu hurriedly nodded, "Yuanqing, I wrote it down." ”

Li Yuanqing and Shang Lao Liu glanced at each other and hurriedly staggered their gazes, for fear that Liu Chunhua would see something wrong.

Otherwise, with Liu Chunhua's qualifications, if he really wants to beat up Shang Lao Liu here, Li Yuanqing can't stop it.

Shang Lao Liu hurriedly found an excuse to slip away, and Liu Chunhua sat in his seat with a smile, "Yuanqing, what were you talking about just now?" ”

Li Yuanqing was a little weak-hearted, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Chunhua, it's really nothing." Brother Shang meant that he wanted me to take a few more concubines. ”

Liu Chunhua obviously saw through Li Yuanqing's tricks, but said with a straight face: "Yuanqing, what do you think about this matter?" Yuanqing, you are no longer than the head before, you are the lord of Eternal Life Island. There are some things that you have to make a decision in advance. The branches are scattered, the people are prosperous, and the children below are more hopeful. ”

Let others say this, it must be taboo, and no one dares to say it.

But for Liu Chunhua, there are not so many obstacles, she is Li Yuanqing's sister-in-law, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and it is justified to care about these things.

Li Yuanqing was a little speechless and said: "Sister-in-law Chunhua, hey, I'm also anxious about this matter." This ......"

Li Yuanqing really didn't know how to say it.

Liu Chunhua said with a smile: "Yuanqing, it's okay during this time, don't run around, the two old doctors in the medical hall have good medical skills, let them recuperate for you." ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, "That's good." I also felt like maybe I was too stressed. ”

Liu Chunhua said with a smile: "Don't think nonsense, Yuanqing, you are young, and your body is so good, it's okay." That's right. ”

Liu Chunhua paused for a moment and said in a low voice: "Yuanqing, Yun Niang, Minqiu, you, what do you think?" ”

Li Yuanqing thought for a moment, and then said: "Sister-in-law Chunhua, let's talk about this matter, they are both ...... Ay. Don't scold me. I can't think of a good way either. Sister-in-law Chunhua, you have to help me. ”

"This ......" Liu Chunhua frowned, of course she understood what Li Yuanqing meant.

In fact, this is also the biggest concern of Changsheng Island now.

With Li Yuanqing's current identity, it is not difficult to get married, but it is difficult to find a good family.

Frankly speaking, Zhang Yunniang and Qu Minqiu are not suitable to be Li Yuanqing's wife, which is not enough to provide Li Yuanqing with enough help.

But both of them have been following Li Yuanqing for so long, and they can't be without a name......

"Yuanqing, this matter is indeed difficult to handle. Let's do it for now, and I'll talk to them more later. When we have a result, we will find a way. Also, Yuanqing, what should they do with these female relatives after they get married? Do you want to continue to work intensively? ”

Li Yuanqing thought for a while and said, "There is no need to concentrate on labor. They became married, they all had their own families, and the men should be able to support them. Those female dependents who have not married are still in the past. By the way, sister-in-law Chunhua, you have to pay more attention to their emotions. My Immortal Island is just the beginning now, and in the future, they will have many opportunities. ”

Liu Chunhua nodded, "Hmm." I know, Yuanqing. ”

After chatting with Liu Chunhua, the book is almost over, Li Yuanqing ascended the high platform, used a simple megaphone, and delivered a speech, on the one hand, it is to affirm the legitimacy of these new households' marriages, and secondly, it is to congratulate and bless them to have a noble son early.

After this process, the next step is the wine banquet.

It's a pity that at this time, there are not many people who are thinking about the wine banquet, and most of the new households have hastily eaten a few sips and drank a few glasses of wine, so they hurriedly pulled their new daughter-in-law and rushed home.

It attracted the envy of the soldiers and young men who were not qualified to go on a blind date.

Li Yuanqing was just about to leave and return to his official hall, but there was a commotion not far away, and someone shouted in not very smooth Chinese: "General, general, I'm Joseph." Do you remember me? ”

Huang Guoshan and his soldiers also chose their daughter-in-law today, but due to their duties, he and his brothers were not allowed to enter the cave room for the time being, and they have been guarding here.

They stopped Joseph.

Seeing this ghost, Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile, "Brothers, have worked hard today, send him to the official hall, and you all go back to rest." Hehe, the Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold. ”

"General Xie." All the relatives and soldiers couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Returning to the official hall, Joseph cautiously looked around.

Li Yuanqing sat down on the main seat with a golden knife, and Lotus Root served tea.

Joseph glanced at Lotus Root, and couldn't help but be shocked, but he also knew that this pretty oriental girl must be the forbidden belly of the man in front of him, so he hurriedly withdrew his gaze and said with a smile: "General, we haven't seen each other for a long time, right?" I miss you so much. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Mr. Joseph, I'm also very happy to see you on Immortal Island." ”

Joseph scolded in his heart, but with a flattering smile on his face: "General, you also know that I am a nobleman. I need your help very much to rebuild a fleet that will bring great profits and rewards to you and me. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled: "Mr. Joseph, can I understand that you need my investment now?" ”

"Yes, yes. That's what it means. ”

Joseph hurriedly said: "General, as long as we can transport the porcelain, tea, and silk of the Ming Dynasty, including various special products, to Southeast Asia and Europe, we will definitely make a fortune." ”

Li Yuanqing nodded.

In fact, no one knows better than him about the huge profits of maritime trade in the Age of Discovery.

Even in later generations, the transportation industry was a profiteering industry.

It's just that in this era, subject to the limitations of science and technology, navigation is a very dangerous job, not to mention unpredictable natural disasters, man-made disasters alone are enough to make people unguardable.

Li Yuanqing doesn't know much about the market in the south now.

However, Guan Canghai came out of the Zheng family, and through chatting with him on weekdays, Li Yuanqing also understood that although the Zheng family had not become a giant on the southeast coast at this time, it was already a strong snake.

To do maritime trade and go to the South Seas, without the nod of the Zheng family, I am afraid it will be difficult to make the trip.

Moreover, the fleets of Li Yuanqing and the various departments of the Dongjiang River are not very skilled, including the advanced navigation technology and shipbuilding materials accumulated by the sailors of Juehua Island and Zheng He when he went to the Western Ocean, which have already been burned clean by the well-known bigwig.

Li Yuanqing also wanted to find out how far the Western colonizers in Southeast Asia had come to their warships and merchant ships.

But for good reason, it is far from easy to make the trip.

Li Yuanqing looked at Joseph quietly for a long time, and then said: "Mr. Joseph, you must know that my Ming Dynasty's maritime territory is very huge, and there are already many forces engaged in the business of navigation. ”

Joseph hurriedly said: "General, in fact, before I went to Beijing, I went from Macao all the way to the coast and north. I've done research on all these things. It's as you say, but it's not impossible. Our targets are the Indian Ocean, the Arabian Sea and Europe, and most of their targets are in the South Seas, and there are not too many conflicts between us and them, and there will not be too many contradictions. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Mr. Joseph, do you have an accurate navigation route map?" You know, a mature waterway is critical to a large fleet. ”

Joseph was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood what Li Yuanqing meant, and hurriedly said: "General, frankly speaking, I did have a route map before, but now it has been lost." All the routes, it's in my head. As long as there are ships and sailors, we will soon be in Europe. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded and smiled indifferently.

This turtle grandson actually wants to keep a hand, I really think that my face is big.

Even if he has no sailing experience, Li Yuanqing also knows that since the Song Dynasty, the route from China to the South Seas has been very mature, as long as it is not a bad idea, in the event of a big storm, there will generally not be much obstacle.

At this time, the routes of Western colonizers to Europe in the South Sea, the Indian Ocean, and the Arabian Sea, and then around the Cape of Good Hope, had also matured, but due to the speed of the ships, the time was very long.

If conditions permitted, Li Yuanqing really wanted to go around by himself, but it was obviously unrealistic at this time.

But even if you can't go to the ocean at this time, Changsheng Island's geographical advantage has a very good 'partner'......

That's the Wa Kingdom.

The Wa Kingdom was rich in silver, the weapon forging process was mature, and it was in the period of the Daimyo War, so it was really a good dumping ground.

But now, Li Yuanqing needs something very much.

He looked at Joseph with a smile, "Dear Mr. Joseph, I heard that in Macau, you Westerners have developed a full-fledged heavy artillery?" ”
