Shang Lao Liu and Steward Ma's prediction was correct, early the next morning, Li Yuanqing had just gotten up, and the door of the official hall had been 'blocked' by the gentry of Changsheng Island. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The news that Yang Xiaozhou's fleet brought back a huge fortune really shocked them.

Due to the aftermath of Zheng He's voyage to the West, the Ming court officials, although there was a slight maritime ban policy, did not have too many constraints on the people.

Here in Liaodi, over the years, there have also been many businessmen engaged in maritime trade.

Especially the gentry of Changsheng Island, most of them are from Zhenjiang, and many of their ancestors are all from this road.

However, because of the location, Liaodi, especially in the eastern Liaodong region, most of the routes of maritime trade are still aimed at North Korean ~ Xian and Japan.

However, since the Ming Dynasty resisted the Japanese and aided the DPRK, whether it is North ~ Xian or Japan, it is a great loss of vitality, and the profits in this area have gradually thinned.

Especially since the late Wanli period, many of the maritime merchants who ran this line have lost all their money.

Today, on this line, there are pirates and pirates, which are more than half of what they were back then.

These pirates and pirates are like rats parasitic on the shipping routes, and now they are dying of starvation due to the decline of the Northland sea trade.

But at this time, Yang Xiaochuan actually earned more than one million taels of silver through sea trade, or cash! How can this make these gentry still sit still?

Even, last night, some gentry asked their servants to hold quilts, mattresses, and braziers, and lay bunks outside Li Yuanqing's official hall, waiting to meet Li Yuanqing early in the morning.

It is no wonder that Marx once said: "The nature of capital is greed!" ”

However, this is exactly what Li Yuanqing wanted.

With the white eyes of Zhang Yunniang and Qu Minqiu, after eating breakfast 'comfortably', Li Yuanqing summoned a group of wealthy gentry and businessmen on Changsheng Island in the official hall.

"Congratulations to the general on his triumphant return from Liaoxi!"

"General, about the matter of sea trade, my old Wang has already figured it out, you see ......"

"General, our old Zhang family has decades of experience in maritime trade. General, for the next sea trade operation, my Lao Zhang has nothing to say, if you want money, I will pay for it, and I will do my best! ”

"General......

Looking at the excited businessmen, Li Yuanqing smiled and waved his hand: "Everyone, you should be quiet first." I can understand everyone's feelings. However, the flotilla has not yet returned. There is no accurate figure on the specific income. But one thing I can tell you very clearly is that I Changsheng Island, sea trade will be a lasting policy, and the door will be open to you at any time. If you have any ideas, please submit a report to the Government Affairs Department first. After the approval of the Government Affairs Department, we will make arrangements according to your needs......"

Finally, I sent away this group of wealthy businessmen who were so excited that it was already noon.

Zhang Yunniang and Qu Minqiu slept in the inner study until now, and then came back to their senses.

Li Yuanqing walked into the inner study with a smile, "Two ladies, how do you feel?" Hungry? Shall we go to dinner together? ”

Zhang Yunniang and Qu Minqiu glanced at Li Yuanqing alone, and Qu Minqiu was even more direct, and directly whispered: "Shameless ......"

Li Yuanqing smiled, strode forward, and hugged the delicate bodies of the two respectively, "How can this be called shameless?" Lao Tzu and his wife, have some love~ fun, do you still have to wear such a hat? If everything is done according to the old routine, then ~~, what is the fun of life? ”

Although she has long been a mother, Zhang Yunniang's pretty face couldn't help but rise a seductive flush, and she said in a low voice: "Brother, I, I'll go and prepare lunch for you." ”

As he spoke, he was about to slip away from Li Yuanqing's embrace.

But how could Li Yuanqing let her get her wish? grabbed Zhang Yunniang's little hand, "Yunniang, what's the hurry?" Our battle yesterday isn't over yet. ”

Qu Minqiu giggled at this time: "Yuanqing, then~, you and Yun Niang continue to fight." I'll go get lunch ready. ”

Li Yuanqing grabbed Qu Minqiu casually and laughed: "Today, you two, don't even think about running." ”

The two women couldn't help but be speechless, and the three of them quickly frolicked together, and the air in the room soon became a little hot.

For more than half an hour, Li Yuanqing got up from the bed with a smile, looked at the delicate bodies that the two women were most familiar with, and said with a smile: "Yun Niang, Minqiu, I still have business today, but I can't make trouble." Let's have lunch first, and after lunch, you will accompany me to the dock boatwrights. ”

Although Zhang Yunniang and Qu Minqiu were still a little shy, by this time, they had already 'accepted their fate'.

As soon as Zhang Yunniang heard that there was something serious, she was busy naked, walked quickly, and served Li Yuanqing to dress.

Even if Qu Minqiu is unhappy, but the boss is like this, she can only get up and help Zhang Yunniang serve Li Yuanqing and get dressed.

After cleaning up and having some lunch, the group took a carriage and came to the Nanxinkou Wharf under the escort of two hundred soldiers.

At this time, after more than a year of hard construction, the road leading to Nanxinkou Wharf in the urban area of Changsheng Island has been turned into a wide cement road.

It takes only a quarter of an hour to get there by horse-drawn carriage.

If it is changed to horseback riding, I am afraid it will take more than ten minutes.

Although Zhang Yunniang and Qu Minqiu are not carefully dressed up today, they are naturally beautiful, and they are in the best years of a woman, plus they have Li Yuanqing's hard work, even if they don't wear makeup, they are still radiant and radiant.

The news had already been received here, and a group of people waited and hurried over to greet Li Yuanqing and his party.

After a few words of greeting, Li Yuanqing came to the crowd with a smile and smiled at the boatmen and shipwrights: "Everyone, when I was on Juehua Island, Yuanqing wanted to come and visit you, but unfortunately, it has been delayed until now. Please also invite all the fathers and fellow villagers to Haihanna! ”

"General, you, you are too polite! It's a blessing for us to be able to come to Eternal Life Island! ”

"That's right! General, we never thought that we could live a life of eating meat. General, this old bone is sold to you! ”

"General......

Looking at the excited crowd, Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing: "Everyone, everyone, presumably, these days, you also know the rules of my Immortal Island. In Changsheng Island, regardless of qualifications, regardless of family background, we only talk about ability! As long as you can have the ability, even if it is a big fish and meat every day, it is not a difficult thing! ”

The crowd suddenly became even more excited, and they all kowtowed to Li Yuanqing.

After a long time, seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "Everyone, please get up quickly." It's a cold day, and it's not a problem for us to ink here. Let's go to the house and talk. ”

"General Xie."

Everyone kowtowed again, then got up, followed Li Yuanqing, and came to the Datong room in the camp.

Odori House is a vernacular house, like a workshop in later generations, and most of them are simple buildings in the early days, when Changsheng Island was first established.

Later, the barracks of the Changsheng Island military camp were basically very regular, close to the regulations of our military barracks in later generations, of course, they were all bungalows.

At this time, although the Datong room was no longer inhabited, it was an excellent place as a conference room, and Li Yuanqing kept it, and there was such a Datong room conference room in every camp.

Entering the Chase room, the ladies and children could not follow up, and this had already begun to enter the rhythm of deliberations.

The ladies and children outside had Zhang Yunniang and Qu Minqiu to deal with it, and in the room, Li Yuanqing also smiled and threw out the topic: "Everyone, everyone must have understood the rules of Changsheng Island. Nonsense, I won't say more. At this time, if you have any good ideas about shipbuilding and ship repair, you can say it to Yuan Qing, let's discuss it together! ”

Li Yuanqing's approachability also gave these shipwrights more confidence, and after a while, an old shipwright, who was about in his early sixties, hurriedly stood up and saluted Li Yuanqing respectfully, and then said: "General, the old man has been working in various shipyards in the Ming Dynasty for almost fifty years. Dare to ask the general, what kind of ship do you want to build? Is it a big ship or a small ship, a warship or a clipper? ”

Although he has not met these shipwrights and shipwrights, Li Yuanqing has already thoroughly understood the bottom of these shipwrights and shipwrights.

He knew that this old man, named Zhou Chuanhai, was the highest military position among these shipwrights and shipwrights, and he was also the leader of this group of shipwrights and shipwrights.

However, in the Ming Dynasty, the actual significance of the military position of the craftsman is not too great, it is a little oil and water, but more is to take responsibility.

For example, in a certain project, even if there is a slight accident, the military positions of these craftsmen will be the most direct question.

And, many times, they are 'scapegoats' that cannot be avoided.

"Mr. Zhou, this question is good!"

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Dare to ask Old Man Zhou, what if Yuanqing wants to build a big ship?" What if you want to build a boat? ”

Zhou Chuanhai didn't expect Li Yuanqing to know his surname, that~, he must also know his name, he couldn't help but be excited and excited, and said with a smile: "General, to build a big ship, naturally use the best materials and the best craftsmanship." To build a boat, there are also means to build a boat. Although the old man is not talented, he has some understanding of the structure of various ships in the Ming Dynasty. General, whatever ship you want to build, you can say it to the old man! It's good to see if you can take care of your old skills! ”

Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing: "Old Man Zhou is a refreshing person!" Even so, Yuan Qingzi will not be inked. There are many boats that Yuanqing wants to build, big ships, small boats, and everything is as good as possible. However, the boat that Yuanqing wants to build also has a lot of requirements. ”

"Oh? Please also make it clear to the general! ”

Zhou Chuanhai frowned a little, as if he was ready to take Li Yuanqing's move.

Li Yuanqing smiled: "Old man Zhou, the big ship that Yuanqing wants to build, at least, should be fifty or sixty steps long, sturdy and durable, and can cross the ocean, Japan, the South Sea, and even the Mediterranean Sea." Can withstand the wind and waves, can withstand the war, dare to ask, can Old Man Zhou build? ”

"Huh? This ......"

Zhou Chuanhai didn't expect Li Yuanqing to throw such a big problem at him as soon as he came up, and he couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.

The surrounding shipwrights were also whispering.
