This secret letter is a handwritten letter written by a minister in the court to Dai Shan, the lord of the Houjin Red Flag Banner. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although its wording is extremely obscure, it has already exposed the truth of why Li Yuanqing was attacked by the officials this time.

----- someone took the money.

Take people's money and eliminate disasters for others.

Man Gui felt that the matter was very important, and immediately sent this secret letter to Sun Chengzong's residence.

It's just that at that time, Sun Chengzong was inspecting military affairs in Ningyuanbei's camp, and when Lao Sun returned to the official hall, this secret letter had disappeared.

This incident happened three and a half days ago, and after receiving this secret letter, Man Gui sent someone to inform Sun Chengzong on the one hand, and on the other hand, ordered his staff to write this letter and sent it to Changsheng Island in a hurry.

Putting down the letter full of Gui in his hand, Li Yuanqing's face couldn't help but be gloomy.

He had long expected that this matter was a little unusual, but he never thought that it would be Hou Jin who was behind it.

But this matter is not clear, and the most critical evidence has also 'flew', and it is basically difficult to catch the mastermind behind the scenes.

The gang of uncles in the Metropolitan Procuratorate were originally a group of wall grass, which side was windy and which, without tangible evidence, it was difficult to help them.

This kind of thing is originally extremely private, and it is impossible for the initiator to come out in person, and Li Yuanqing himself has been classified into the category of 'eunuch party', if you want to track it down, it must be the rhythm of 'one stone stirring up a thousand waves'.

Even, it will make Li Yuanqing stand on the opposite side of the entire civilian-bureaucratic group.

After thinking about it carefully for a while, a grim smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Li Yuanqing's mouth.

Even if Lao Sun knows the outline of the matter, I am afraid that he will never magnify this matter, but will do his best to strangle it in the cradle.

With his old scheming, how could he not see clearly? If you want to be entangled, not only will you not help Li Yuanqing, but you will push Li Yuanqing to the cusp.

This is by no means conducive to Li Yuanqing's safety, still less to the stability of the overall situation in Liaodi.

However, although it seems that he wants to suffer this dumb loss, Li Yuanqing is not without gains, at least, Lao Sun already has a score in his heart, and he will definitely do his best to suppress this matter for Li Yuanqing.

"Dog offal, is it really a papier-mâché?" Li Yuanqing suddenly took a sip.

On the bright side, Li Yuanqing did not dare to openly be the enemy of these civil officials, but in private, he would never let their books read the dogs.

At this time, the soldiers brought breakfast, a bowl of lotus leaf porridge, a plate of mutton with sauce, two fried eggs, and two pork pancakes.

Although Li Yuanqing is the lord of Changsheng Island, and even the master of the entire southern Liaoning, his breakfast, compared with ordinary officers, does not jump too much.

It's delicious, nutritious, and it's enough.

After a simple breakfast, Shang Lao Liu and Steward Ma also rushed over to work.

Both of them have families and rooms, and in terms of eating, they are much more comfortable than Li Yuanqing.

Especially Shang Lao Liu, basically every morning, Liu Chunhua personally got up to make breakfast for him, and then, his mother came to work in the front yard and backyard of the official hall respectively.

The three of them greeted each other with a smile, and Shang Lao Liu said with a smile: "Yuanqing, is there any arrangement for military affairs today?" If you have time, let's check out the new homes of immigrants on South Beach. By the way, Yuanqing, yesterday, a few more families found me, and the young people in their clan also wanted to follow us to do something. ”

Unlike ordinary officials, who have to put on a full show in advance every time they go to a place, so that their subordinates can do a good job of face engineering and lavish reception, Changsheng Island is Li Yuanqing's private property, and Li Yuanqing only provides big decisions in government affairs, and the rest of the space is completely left to the doers such as Shang Lao Liu and Ma Steward to implement.

When he has time, he will only go to inspect various places and inspect the work casually, and he will not easily mess around.

On the one hand, this gives Shang Lao Liu and Steward Ma enough initiative, and on the other hand, this 'willful' inspection anytime and anywhere can also give a huge shock to those who want to 'steal chickens and touch dogs'.

At this time, hearing Shang Lao Liu's words, Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile, "Brother Shang, this is a good thing." They are willing to send young people from their families to work, and we have to support them. Well. So be it. Half an hour later, let's go to the new home of immigrants on South Beach. ”

Shang Lao Liu hurriedly smiled and said, "Okay, Yuanqing, I'll clean up immediately." Let's try to get over as soon as possible. ”

Watching Shang Lao Liu leave, Steward Ma smiled and said, "General, there are no too critical matters on the sidelines today, but there are a lot of chores. It's basically a matter of architecture. Oh yes. General, the cement you mentioned earlier has already yielded some results. According to the report of several craftsmen yesterday, their experiments have been quite effective, when you have time, we can always go over and see. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled and nodded, "Okay." Let's take a look first. When the camp is done, I'll send someone to call you. ”

"Yes." Steward Ma smiled, "General, the humble post is retired first." ”

Li Yuanqing also smiled and patted Steward Ma's shoulder vigorously, "Uncle Ma, these days, you are tired and worried. Let's wait for the evening, let's go to the lotus root courtyard and have a drink. ”

Steward Ma couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "General, that feeling is good." However, the lowly duty has to deal with today's pile of affairs first. ”

The two of them looked at each other, and they couldn't help laughing.

Watching Shang Lao Liu and Steward Ma leave one after another, Li Yuanqing sat on his tiger skin throne, took the fragrant tea that Xiaolian had just handed over, and took a sip lightly.

The external affairs are complicated, but the internal affairs are also not light, and it is not easy for the two to complement each other.

After a few sips of fragrant tea, Li Yuanqing rubbed his temples a little tiredly, and his mood slowly stabilized.

In the affairs of Jingli, he is now a little out of reach, so he can only let Yang Jiao ~ Niang's side start the investigation first.

As the saying goes, 'flies don't bite seamless eggs'.

Since this big guy can do this kind of thing, presumably, under his ass, it is never so clean.

As long as Li Yuanqing is patient, sooner or later, this guy will leak out~~~.

At this time, the most critical thing is the government affairs of Changsheng Island.

Because Changsheng Island is a military territory under Li Yuanqing's rule, the talents in government affairs are really a little stretched.

After all, what Li Yuanqing wants is a prosperous and prosperous trade Changsheng Island, not like an ordinary tun army, where his subordinates only need to plant good land.

Originally, it would have been a waste of effort to solve this problem.

But at this time, a large number of Zhenjiang immigrants, especially the joining of these wealthy families, suddenly made Li Yuanqing's spare strength a lot sufficient.

Innate advantages, most of the children of these wealthy families are well-educated, which is difficult for ordinary people to achieve in this era.

In just this half a month, more than 20 children of the gentry have joined the clerical establishment sequence of Changsheng Island, either as staff members or as stewards, and they can be regarded as joining the management of Changsheng Island's government affairs, the most representative of which is Ren Qizhu of the Ren family and Qi Gang of the Qi family.

Of course, Li Yuanqing will never give up on the poor children, and after the assessment, as long as they have good character and no major problems with their knowledge, Li Yuanqing will also allow them to join the island's political management.

It's just that compared with the children of the wealthy gentry, their process is more complicated, and they even have to go through Li Yuanqing's personal interview.

Of course, once they are qualified, they can easily become Li Yuanqing's 'personal entourage' and become a cold camp against the children of the gentry.

After resting for a while and sorting out his thoughts, Li Yuanqing waved his hand and beckoned Niu Gensheng, whispered a few words to him, and asked him to quickly pass on the instructions to Yang Jiao ~ Niang to Jingshi.

After Niu Gensheng finished this matter, Li Yuanqing took him and Shang Lao Liu to inspect the new homes of immigrants on the southern beach.

After nearly half a month of construction, the appearance of the southern beach has changed dramatically.

Although it still looks chaotic, it is not full of tents and shacks, but a continuous cluster of new buildings.

Building a house by the sea is much stricter than the standards in the mainland, and the most important point is to prevent bad weather, such as typhoons and tsunamis.

In this way, the foundation must be solid.

In the mainland, ordinary houses may be built in half a month, but by the sea, it is only the foundation, at least ten days, if you want to build it, it will take a month.

At this time, the vast beach plain is full of new foundations, and it is continuous.

The southern beach plain alone, if all completed, can almost form a small town that can accommodate more than 10,000 people.

And here, it is less than five miles away from the main city of Changsheng Island.

As time went on, the development of the island gradually unfolded, and Li Yuanqing had every reason to believe that he could build a pearl of the sea that would serve the general functions of Hong Kong Island in the future.

One of the most direct factors in the rise of Hong Kong Island is the worry of geographical advantages.

At this time, although the location advantage of Changsheng Island is not as good as that of Hong Kong Island, it also has its own unique innate conditions.

It is located in the heart of the Bohai Bay, the sea route is developed, only a stone's throw away from the political center of the Ming Dynasty, Jingshi, and backed by the southern Liaoning mainland, controlling the route to the North ~ Xianhe island country.

With the gradual development of the old cellar and garment industry in southern Liaoning, including marine fishing, and various agricultural and sideline products, Li Yuanqing has enough confidence to build Changsheng Island into the pearl of the North Sea of the Ming Dynasty.

Especially for the storage of surplus fish caught in the ocean, Li Yuanqing also has a new idea.

Previously, most of these fish, except for those that were eaten fresh, were made into salted fish. It's just that although salted fish is good and used for preservation, the taste is really average.

Up to now, the marine fishing operation of Changsheng Island has basically achieved large-scale, and the output of a month will be hundreds of thousands of catties, especially in the autumn fishing season, the output will be even larger.

Most of them are made into salted fish, which is really too wasteful.

In particular, these salted fish cannot be directly converted into military use.

After all, salted fish is okay to mix with various meats to make soup, and if it is used as a staple food, it is simply a fool's dream.

In the armies of later generations, a wide variety of canned food has always been popular.

Beef and mutton, pork, Li Yuanqing is not good, and he is not an expert in this area, but how to make canned fish, he knows it very well.

In later generations, Li Yuanqing's hometown had a delicacy called 'crispy fish', and the main ingredient was the scraps of hairtail. The recipe is also very simple, after steaming the hairtail, it is cooked with various condiments, which is not only delicious, but also can be kept for a long time.

This canned fish has the same effect.

If these surplus marine fish are steamed and seasoned, and put into sealed clay pots, not only can the taste be improved, but they can also be used as a staple food by soldiers in wartime.

My Huaxia, the English name is 'China', which translates to porcelain.

For the manufacture of porcelain, the Chinese people recognize the second, who in this world dares to recognize the first?

Because Changsheng Island is a mainland, Li Yuanqing should be cautious in environmental protection and all aspects, but in the hinterland of southern Liaoning, Jinzhou and Fuzhou, there are good places.

This kind of clay pot does not need to be beautifully made, as long as it is sturdy and easy to use, it is enough to transport.

After inspecting the new homes of immigrants here, Li Yuanqing informed Shang Lao Liu of his idea.

Shang Lao Liu couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and looked at Li Yuanqing directly: "Yuanqing, you, how did you grow this brain?" This, this ......"

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Brother Shang, this is just an idea for me, what the effect is, we will only know after we have tested it." Let's go back to the official hall, and let the cook try it now. ”
