"Haruko, look what I've brought you. As soon as he walked into the courtyard, Li Yang said with a smile, since he met Haruko, this is the first time he has given her a gift, and he should be satisfied.www.biquge.info

"Li Lang, you're back." Contrary to Li Yang's expectations, Haruko Sakuragi actually walked out from behind the stove with her hair coiled and changed into coarse cloth clothes. Delicate and elegant, this is how Li Yang feels when he looks at her at this moment.

"Li Lang, why are you looking at people like this." Seeing that Li Yang's eyes were unblinking, looking at herself dumbfounded, Sakuragi Haruko couldn't help but say shyly.

"Oh." Li Yang's face turned red, and he finally came back to his senses, raised the package in his hand and said with a smile: "What gift do you see I bought you?" ”

"Gifts?" Haruko Sakuragi was stunned for a moment, and two red clouds couldn't help but rise on her face.

"Hehe, do you like it?" Li Yang smiled, Sakuragi Haruko nodded and took it carefully, although she didn't open it, she smelled the fragrance, and said shyly: "I like it." ”

"Hmph, flamboyant tongue, you know how to deceive." I don't know when Xiaoqing appeared in front of the door, looking at Li Yang's gift to Sakuragi Haruko, I couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Li Yang didn't bother to be angry with her, strode over to him and handed over another small package in his hand, "No, yours." ”

Xiaoqing was suddenly stunned, her face was full of disbelief, she still had her own?

"Yours, do you want it?" Li Yang's attitude was very bad, but Xiaoqing's heart was full of joy. Even so, he would never express it, snatched the small package, and said very inconsistently: "There are so many rouge gouache girls, but for the sake of what you did well this time, I reluctantly accepted it." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Li Yang to make a sarcastic or snatch, he turned around and slipped in.

Li Yang breathed a sigh of helplessness, it seems that we really don't understand the girl's mind.

After the gift was delivered, Li Yang turned around and walked in front of Haruko Sakuragi and asked, "Are you dressed like this?" ”

Sakuragi Haruko was stunned for a moment, and involuntarily stroked her somewhat scattered hair, "Li Lang, Haruko has no other skills, so she can only cook some meals for you." ”

"Hehe, hard work. When I have free time that day, I will take you out of the city to see the scenery, the scenery on this island is very beautiful. Li Yang was very happy in his heart, it must be the happiest thing in the world to be able to eat the food cooked by such a woman.

"Hmm." Haruko Sakuragi looked at Li Yang with big watery eyes, it seemed that she still had a place in his heart, and it was not in vain that she took the risk to save him.

Although Li Yang now rules the entire Miyako Island, he knows that there are many islands in this Ryukyu, and now they are all their own kings, you beat me, I beat you, and sometimes there is harassment by the Japanese people, so it is still necessary to develop the armament first, although there is a small iron-smelting workshop in the city, but the process is too backward, and the iron smelted is also forged by manpower, and there is no way to adapt to large-scale production, but those iron-making masters can still use it.

Li Yang was also worried at this time, although he knew what he needed to smelt iron, but he didn't have a super 3D printer, everything depended on his own memory, plus the blacksmiths in the city, he didn't know if he could do it.

Subsequently, Li Yang took a large group of officials and soldiers to compare and draw outside the city, and finally selected a small hill as an iron-smelting base for the time being.

After nightfall, Li Yang took the pearl and jade coral that he copied from the palace before, hey, this thing can't be eaten as a meal, if you spend it, you can spend it, and it is not good that those traitors in the sky like it, and it is possible to increase the exchange value a little.

Li Yang exchanged some equipment for gold, and drew drawings according to his memory, and then Li Yang easily studied the drawing problems with several architects and smelters, and the next thing was a huge project.

The main body of the blast furnace had to be made of bricks, and the experienced smelters were so amazed by the design of this big guy that compared to the furnace that was only two people tall in their workshop became a joke.

So everyone spent several days on the construction site, in order to cope with the tedious work, Li Yang had to set up an administrative secretary to do all the miscellaneous things he whimsically ordered, time flew by, three months passed in a flash, the construction of the new smelter had come to an end, and the border village had already been relocated by three clans, and many thatched huts of all sizes were built in more than a mile outside the city.

These villagers are involved in the construction of the smelter every day, and Li Yang does not treat them badly, in addition to eating enough every day, he also gives some grain as wages.

However, the worried Uncle Wang still found Li Yang and told him his worries, so that the warehouse would go down for a small half, and then it would be emptied.

Li Yang had to comfort the old man, as long as the hens that can lay eggs are raised, are you afraid that there will be no delicious eggs to eat. Before Uncle Wang's worries lasted for a day, the first batch of supplies arrived. More than 3,000 catties of pig iron, more than 4,000 catties of iron ore, and five large carts of charcoal are also included, and it is estimated that there must be 2,000 catties.

At this time, the market has greatly changed its appearance, blue bricks and red tiles, quite the charm of China's Jiangnan architecture in it, into the market, everywhere is clean, let people buy things in the market has become a kind of enjoyment, after buying the things needed, everyone wants to stay in it for a while, walk around and see, and invisibly increase many business opportunities. These attracted merchants from nearby islands to come and trade.

It is already known from the mouths of merchants that Miyakojima is now a little famous, and when the iron weapon is a fist product, it is expected that the business activities will become more and more active, and it is indeed impossible to do without a good port with a large throughput.

Thinking of this, Li Yang was ready to discuss with Uncle Wang, the location of the fishing village is where a good port is located, and it is not far from the main city, and it can be reached on foot for a day.

Moreover, a large number of villagers from fishing villages have now moved into the city to work and live, and the vacated houses can be transformed into various warehouses, which can become a distribution center for bulk commodities in Li Yang's modern plan, and the market in the free city is a high-end boutique trading market.

However, although this is the plan, it will not be completed overnight, so first talk to the villagers of the fishing village and transform the port into a port that can accommodate large ships.

Li Yang knew very well that the Ryukyus were small and weak, and there was no great chance of winning on land, whether it was in the face of the Japanese Japanese or the European hoplites, and the way out was on the sea.

It is true that only the islands can use the moat of the sea to isolate the powerful army on the opposite side, and colleagues will thoroughly play the role of their own powerful navy, then the current strategy is very clear, Miyakori as a trading center, there must be a reliable barrier before it, that is, the area of the Yaeyama Islands, and behind it, there must be a safe rear, that is, the island of Taiwan can act as this responsibility.
