Returning to Changsheng Island, it has reached the nineteenth day of the first month.

Although the journey was tiring, Li Yuanqing's spirit was excellent.

The three-year offensive of the Apocalypse has set the tone, and the next step is to implement it step by step and turn it into reality.

At this time, it was morning, and the soldiers were given a half-day off, so that they could go back to reunite with their families first, and Li Yuanqing also returned to the familiar home of the official hall.

Ayako had already put hot water for Li Yuanqing, and soaked in the hot water comfortably, and Li Yuanqing also got a piece of news that made him, and even the entire Changsheng Island, extremely excited.

Zhang Yunniang is pregnant.

This means that Li Yuanqing and his Changsheng Island and Changsheng Camp have successors.

As the ancients said, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is greater.

In the historical inheritance of mankind, the importance of direct descendants cannot be expressed in words.

Especially Li Yuanqing at this time, he is no longer alone, Shang Lao Liu, Duan Xiliang, Xu Heizi, Shunzi, etc., all the officers and soldiers of the Changsheng Battalion, including everyone living on Changsheng Island, have been tied to Li Yuanqing on a rope, and to put it bluntly, they can almost be said to be Li Yuanqing's private property.

Li Yuanqing has direct descendants, which means that the entire group, with inheritance, will be well inherited.

After learning the news, he couldn't take a bath, so he washed a few handfuls at random, Li Yuanqing hurriedly changed his clothes and came to Zhang Yunniang's room.

Qu Minqiu was also there, and he glanced at Li Yuanqing without resentment.

Li Yuanqing's mood at this time was a little indescribably excited, but Qu Minqiu was there, and he couldn't be too straightforward, just laughing.

Zhang Yunniang was also extremely happy when she saw Li Yuanqing, "Brother." ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold Zhang Yunniang's little hand, "Yunniang, it's so cold, why don't you rest in bed?" ”

Zhang Yunniang was a little speechless, but she was very happy, "Brother, the slave family is here, it's only been more than a month......"

Qu Minqiu glanced at Li Yuanqing unhappily, "I know that my family is good, and I have been out for so long." ”

Of course, Li Yuanqing understood what Qu Minqiu meant, and smiled, "Don't worry, everyone will have it." ”

Qu Minqiu's pretty face couldn't help but turn red instantly, and she whispered: "Who is rare." But his moist eyes looked at Li Yuanqing as if they were about to melt.

Ayako is also full of envy and unspeakable expectations.

…………

After having breakfast with several wives and concubines in the back house, Li Yuanqing did not stay long, but walked quickly to the official hall to listen to the reports of Shang Lao Liu and Steward Ma.

In this era, it is far from the time when you can enjoy yourself in peace, and if you want to let your wife and children live a better life, only strong strength is enough to ensure their safety.

Shang Lao Liu and Steward Ma also learned the news, and as soon as they saw Li Yuanqing, after saluting, they were congratulated.

Li Yuanqing was in a very happy mood, exchanged a few words of greeting, and went straight to the topic.

Shang Lao Liu said: "Yuanqing, the preparation for spring plowing this year is better than expected, and the salt field has also produced a lot of salt goods, but the key is grain, even if you add fish and poultry, I am afraid it will not be supported for less than a month." ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, "How much silver do we have?" ”

Shang Lao Liu said helplessly: "There are only less than 20,000 taels in the official hall's account. ”

Li Yuanqing looked at Steward Ma again, and Steward Ma was even more embarrassed, "General, there is already a deficit in the mansion, about 10,000 taels." ”

The accounts of Changsheng Island are mainly divided into four parts.

First of all, the most important thing is the accounts of the Changsheng Camp, which is in charge of the logistics supervisor Shang Lao Liu.

The second is the accounts of the government and the government, including Li Yuanqing's large fields and various real estate assets of the livestock farm.

Third, it is Zhang Yunniang and Qu Minqiu's inner house industry, including the various shops they are now trying to operate.

Finally, there is Li Yuanqing's small treasury, which is also the source of all these accounts.

On Shang Laoliu's side, it is mainly various military expenses and baggage expenses.

Steward Ma's side belongs to infrastructure construction, which overlaps with Shang Lao Liu's side from time to time, but most of the time, it is Steward Ma's side that pays the money, after all, in the state of Changsheng Island, everything is based on military spending.

As for Zhang Yunniang and Qu Minqiu's shop industry, it is Li Yuanqing's attempt at commercialization, which is still too small to be counted on.

The only thing he can rely on is his little coffer.

At this time, looking at the two people with sad faces, Li Yuanqing also frowned.

It is now the third year of the Apocalypse, and after more than two years of development, Changsheng Island is no longer the time when it was first established, there are only 1,800 people, and a small amount of silver can feed it.

At present, the population base of Changsheng Island has exceeded 30,000, and according to the most conservative estimates, it will take at least 100,000 to 150,000 silver a year to feed these people.

If this year's spring ploughing goes well, the wind and rain are smooth, and the output is good, this number may be reduced a little.

But this is basically the bottom line, and beyond this line, it is impossible to maintain it at all.

In the second year of the Apocalypse, Changsheng Island received military salaries from the imperial court, even if the reward was added, it was less than 40,000 taels.

During this period, there was a difference of 110,000 taels.

And this gap can only be figured out by Li Yuanqing himself.

Of course, there is a big reason for this, because Li Yuanqing is expanding too fast and the population base is growing too rapidly.

For example, Zhang Pan and Chen Zhong, although they also have pressure, their population base is small, and they are far less deficit than Li Yuanqing.

At this time, although Li Yuanqing had 50,000 taels of silver from Yang Jiao~'s mother, the spring offensive of the third year of the Apocalypse was about to begin, and this bit of silver was far from enough.

After thinking for a long time, Li Yuanqing said: "In this way, Brother Shang, you immediately contact Qu Mingrui, this year, I will purchase 300,000 taels of grain." Pay a deposit of 20,000 yuan in advance. The goods must arrive before March. ”

According to the discussion between Li Yuanqing and Mao Wenlong, the time for the troops to enter Fuzhou was probably in the middle or end of March, and before that, Li Yuanqing had to handle the matter properly.

Shang Lao Liu nodded hurriedly, but said: "Yuanqing, let, we only have 20,000 taels of silver now, and we have 280,000 ...... left."

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Brother Shang, you don't have to worry too much about this matter. You only need to give Qu Mingrui a deposit of 20,000 yuan first. I'll figure out how to get the rest of the money. ”

Seeing that Li Yuanqing was so confident, Shang Lao Liu relaxed a little.

Steward Ma said: "General, what about spring ploughing?" ”

Li Yuanqing said: "The spring ploughing is still going according to the original plan, but tonight's grain and salary allocation will be delayed a little, and the work will only be taken care of by the food, and the rest of the rewards and merits will be paid after the autumn." ”

"Yes."

Li Yuanqing had already set the tone, and Steward Ma hurriedly said yes.

"By the way, there is also this batch of salt goods that have been produced recently, and we will strive to sell them in the shortest possible time. Shen Jin will be killed. ”

"Yes."

…………

Shang Lao Liu and Steward Ma left, and Li Yuanqing rubbed his temples tiredly.

At this time, it is too difficult to scrape together enough silver.

Even if all the salt goods produced recently are sold, at most, it will be less than 20,000 taels of silver, which is still a drop in the bucket compared to Li Yuanqing's needs.

But the big war is imminent, and Li Yuanqing doesn't have much time and energy to get entangled in these trivial matters.

But Li Yuanqing also has a huge advantage at this time.

According to his fame at this time, in Liaodi, or even in the entire Ming Dynasty, who doesn't know, who doesn't know?

Coupled with the little emperor of the Apocalypse at this time, Qu Mingrui will never sell his face.

Coupled with the 50,000 taels of silver tickets in his hand, he should be able to 'cheat' Qu Mingrui's goods first.

This is like taking out a loan from a bank in later generations, taking the form of defaulting on the payment.

Li Yuanqing understood, with Qu Mingrui's shrewdness, it was impossible for him not to understand this account, as long as the spring offensive had results, Li Yuanqing would not be short of his silver.

But he still needs two people to help.

Thinking about it, Li Yuanqing smiled, summoned Lotus Root, and asked her to immediately pick up the pen and write a letter to Chen Zhong and Zhang Pan.

…………

After resting on Changsheng Island for a few days, Li Yuanqing inspected the military appearance construction of the three thousand corps and Liu Dadou's scout team.

In this era, the more children there are, the greater the influence of the family.

In this regard, Li Yuanqing is very happy.

On the twenty-fifth day of the first month, Chen Zhong and Zhang Pan arrived on Changsheng Island one after another.

The three old brothers had not seen each other for many days, and they were very drunk, but unlike other days, there were not only three people at the banquet, but also three red-robed eunuchs.

After a night of hangover, the next morning, the three divisions, accompanied by three prison guards, began to formally discuss military affairs.

With Li Yuanqing's current limelight, even Ma Qiu, the supervisor of the Zhang Pan Department, was a little afraid to touch Li Yuanqing's brows, and Zhang Qiliang, the supervisor of Chen Zhong's department, and Wei Liang, the supervisor of Changsheng Island, did not have Ma Qiu's foundation, let alone dare to speak more.

It is indeed difficult for ordinary people to know about the things in the palace, but for those of them who have roots in the palace, the wind and grass are blowing, and when they come to their side, there is a rumor.

Even if you don't talk about the little emperor of the Apocalypse, just because of the appreciation of Li Yuanqing by Gonggong Wei and the Hakka family, how can they stop it?

But Li Yuanqing was by no means proud, and invited the three prison guards to the seat with a smile, ordered the pro-soldiers to serve tea, and asked the pro-soldiers to set up braziers beside them, and then began to discuss the matter.

Whether it is the three prison guards, Chen Zhong and Zhang Pan, they all have great expectations for the three-year offensive of the Apocalypse.

The tone set by Mao Wenlong and Li Yuanqing has now been expedited and has come to the two parts, and they already know some of the specific contents.

The etiquette has already gone through the motions, and Li Yuanqing is not nonsense, and he said the main topic at the beginning.

Pointing to the huge map hanging on the screen in front of him, Li Yuanqing said: "The three supervisors of the army, General Zhang, General Chen, this time, according to the emperor's will and the instructions of the marshal, the battle plan of our three departments in southern Liaoning this year will be ...... around Fuzhou City."

Li Yuanqing did not have too many reservations, and directly made a detailed analysis of Liu Xingzuo's wishes, as well as the situation, strength comparison, and opportunities of the three departments.

After speaking, Li Yuanqing smiled, sat back in his seat, and quietly waited for everyone's reply.

The three overseers whispered in a low voice, not knowing what they were thinking.

Chen Zhong and Zhang Pan have a good idea of this matter.

After most of the recuperation in the second half of the second year of the Apocalypse, the strength of the two divisions has increased a lot, and they are also very confident in this year's offensive.

In the letter, Li Yuanqing had already communicated with Chen Zhong in advance, and this year, the two departments will continue to go hand in hand, basically an integrated process.

Chen Zhong and Li Yuanqing are hardcore brothers, for this, he will never doubt Li Yuanqing's sincerity, and at this time, it is obviously not the time to speak, so he will naturally not be in a hurry to speak.

Zhang Pan's side, due to various reasons, naturally can't have such a heart-to-heart relationship with Li Yuanqing.

But he also knows that Li Yuanqing has a lot of appetite this year, especially the momentum on his body, which is even better than in the past.

Before, Li Yuanqing also deliberately hid his edge, which made people feel that he was very shrewd, knew how to make trade-offs, and took into account the overall situation, but at this time, Zhang Pan obviously felt that Li Yuanqing's edge was like a breakthrough, which made people a little afraid to look at it directly.
