~~~~~~

A few days have passed, and the time has come to the fourth day of September. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The pregnancy of the lotus root and the arrival of the holy decree made Li Yuanqing's mansion, including the entire Changsheng Island, all overjoyed.

Because Zhang Yunniang and Qu Minqiu already have experience in production, in this regard, the process in the house is also more regular.

Soon, Lotus Root was taken care of by two mothers-in-law and four maids.

In fact, whether at this time or in later generations, the prosperity of the people is often the most important indicator of the prosperity of the family, especially Li Yuanqing's status at this time, which can almost be said to be under one person and above tens of thousands of people.

The prosperity of his heirs has brought up the hearts and morale of the people of the entire Eternal Life Island.

In addition, the group of Tartar women in the Northland is also about to give birth, and the atmosphere on the entire island at this time is full of life and flourishing everywhere.

But there are also some problems that come to light.

For example, the increase in the number of pregnant women has caused the price of old hens on the island to skyrocket several times.

The main reason is that these pregnant Tartar children have become the concubines of meritorious soldiers, and these soldiers have just won the reward and have silver in their hands, so they naturally want to make their pregnant wives and children live better.

In the face of this explosive growth, Li Yuanqing's four livestock farms alone are obviously unable to supply.

On the one hand, he ordered Zhang Yunniang and Qu Minqiu to send people to Tianjin and Denglai to purchase some healthy poultry for commercial use, and on the other hand, Li Yuanqing also ordered the sixth merchant to issue a new document to the island, encouraging the soldiers to raise poultry at home, and at the same time, encouraging the officers and soldiers to invest in the establishment of commercial farms.

At this time, the scale of the town of Changsheng Island has expanded a lot, and it has faintly become the size of a small county town.

Li Yuanqing is also considering abandoning this urban-style living model, and instead adopting a large-scale farm model such as the western part of the country, New Zealand, and Australia in the later generations.

With the town of Nanxinkou as the core, roads will be repaired, transportation will be improved, and many small villages and settlements will be built to maximize the use of the resources and land of Changsheng Island.

After all, with the strength of the water camp of Changsheng Island and the prestige of the sons and daughters of the Changsheng camp, they have the absolute initiative in this area of southern Liaoning, and even the entire Liaodi, and they don't have to worry about foreign enemies suddenly killing the mainland.

But at this time, Li Yuanqing obviously didn't have time to do these things himself, so he completely left them to Shang Lao Liu and Steward Ma.

On the other hand, Li Yuanqing is also intensifying his assessment and striving to bring some injured veterans into the management of the island's government affairs before this year.

In the final analysis, Daming is still the world of literati, even if he goes through the process to make a show, Li Yuanqing must make this move of 'buying horse bones', only in this way will he gain more people's support.

After a few days of busyness, all the goods on Changsheng Island have been loaded, and Chen Zhong and Dongjiang's fleet have also sailed over, ready to set off at any time.

It's just that when he saw the specific figures, Li Yuanqing was also a little sad for a while.

Among the nearly 100,000 pieces of goods, Li Yuanqing's Changsheng Island occupies nearly eighty percent, Chen Zhong's Guanglu Island, there is also more than one percent, and the two of them add up, which has exceeded ninety, and on the Dongjiang side, Zhang Pan and more than a dozen of them add up, and the goods are less than one percent, the key is that the condition and quality are not very good......

Freezing three feet, far from a day's cold!

On the wharf, Li Yuanqing said directly to Chen Zhong: "Big brother, the goods on this side of the Dongjiang River are all paid according to the price of good goods." Deficit, I'll come out here. ”

Chen Zhong hurriedly said: "Yuanqing, where is this?" Let's split it evenly. It doesn't cost much silver. My old Chen can still afford this bit of silver. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Big brother, don't be stubborn about this matter." Your money has to be blocked by the shopkeeper first. ”

Chen Zhong also understood, and couldn't help but smile, "This is also the case." We've been dragging the shopkeeper for a few years, and this account can't be delayed any longer. Otherwise, I'd be too embarrassed to ask him for tea. ”

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Chen Zhong finished handing over the goods here and returned directly to Guanglu Island, and under the influence of Li Yuanqing, he was also increasing his efforts to build infrastructure on Guanglu Island.

Compared with history, the population size of Changsheng Island and Guanglu Island is almost close to 100,000, far exceeding dozens or even hundreds of times, and Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong are naturally under a lot of pressure.

Chen Zhong left, and Li Yuanqing held a banquet in the official hall that night, banqueting Gao Qiqian and Wei Liang.

This time in Beijing, not only Li Yuanqing and Gao Qiqian went together, but Wei Liang also had to return to Beijing to report on his work and enjoy the glory of Changsheng Island.

A dinner was enjoyed by the guests and the hosts.

Early the next morning, the fleet set sail directly and rushed to Dagukou, and then went to Beijing by land.

Wan'er also accompanied Li Yuanqing this time, she already has a child, but her mother's family is no longer there, Yang Jiao~ Niang and Wuyu Pavilion are equivalent to her maiden family, and they can be regarded as newlyweds.

Although Ruyi is still young, Li Yuanqing's boat, the conditions and treatment can basically be crowned with the Ming Dynasty, and there are two old men on the boat to ensure the safety of their mother and son.

At this time, it was the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the weather was pleasant, the sea was calm, and two days later, the fleet successfully arrived at the Dagukou port.

The unloading of the cargo ship would be delayed for a few days, so Li Yuanqing and Gao Qiqian, Wei Liang, and Wan'er's mother and daughter went to Beijing first.

By the way, Li Yuanqing did not forget to prepare a generous gift for Li Banghua, two fine bear skins, a century-old ginseng, some deer antler velvet and two thousand taels of silver.

Wan'er's mother and son rode in a carriage, escorted by more than 100 personal soldiers, while Li Yuanqing, Gao Qiqian and Wei Liang rode together, walking in the front of the team, talking and laughing, which was also quite pleasant.

At noon the next day, the group arrived in Beijing smoothly.

The soldiers were ordered to send Wan'er and Ruyi to the Fog and Rain Pavilion first, while Li Yuanqing, Gao Qiqian, and Wei Liang went straight to the palace gate.

With Li Yuanqing's composition at this time, even if he wants to face the saint, he doesn't have to wait too long, and soon, the news came back from the palace, and Gonggong An personally came out to greet Li Yuanqing and welcome Li Yuanqing into the palace.

In the side hall of the imperial study, Li Yuanqing saw the long-lost father-in-law Wei, and hurriedly kowtowed, "Humble Li Yuanqing, I have seen my father-in-law." Father-in-law, I haven't seen you for more than a year, and I really want to die and be humble. Is my father-in-law still healthy? He specially brought back a 500-year-old ginseng from the north for his father-in-law. ”

Wei Zhongxian was a little older than before at this time, and his gray hair was a lot more, but his spirit was excellent, his face was full of red hair, and he did not look old at all.

It can be seen that the advantage of the eunuch party in the court at this time makes him feel extremely happy.

"Hahaha, Yuanqing, are you here? Hurry up. Not bad, very good! It's dark, it's strong, and it's calmer than before! ”

Wei Zhongxian came to Li Yuanqing with a laugh, helped Li Yuanqing up affectionately, patted Li Yuanqing on the shoulder eagerly, circled around Li Yuanqing with interest, and laughed and said to An Gong on the side: "Xiao Anzi, good tea!" I'm going to have a good chat with Yuan Qing today! ”

Wei Zhongxian's eagerness made Li Yuanqing's heart settle down a lot, and he chatted with Wei Zhongxian with a smile, and carefully described the details of the trip to the north to Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian nodded again and again when he heard this, "Yuanqing, thank you for your hard work!" Nu'er Gandusi is the land of my emperor. At this time, it was occupied by the Tartar dove, and the orb was covered with dust. Your trip has made the miscellaneous family see the hope of recovering the slave Gandusi! ”

Li Yuanqing nodded heavily, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said to Wei Zhongxian: "When the time is ripe, as long as the father-in-law gives an order, the humble post will be directly killed by land into the north, cut off the head of the old slave, and show me the glory of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Wei Zhongxian couldn't help laughing, "Yuanqing, you kid! The small mouth is still so sweet! However, this is a miscellaneous family! The miscellaneous family also believes that Yuanqing, you must have this ability! ”

After chatting with Wei Zhongxian, it was already dark, and the little emperor of the Apocalypse also got the news and summoned Wei Zhongxian and Li Yuanqing to dine with him.

I haven't seen him for more than a year, the little emperor of the Apocalypse has a little more figure, and on his chin, he has a faint beard, and he is also very happy to see Li Yuanqing, "Haha, General Li, I have been looking forward to you for more than a year, and we finally meet again." ”

Li Yuanqing hurriedly kowtowed to the little emperor of the Apocalypse again, "Your Majesty, you can't serve the emperor when you go out on a lowly expedition, and you can't serve the emperor, and it's a mistake to be lowly!" ”

The Little Emperor of the Apocalypse laughed, "General Li, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve. It is precisely because you stick to Liaodi that you are in exchange for the peace and contentment of my Ming people. Come, take a seat, I salute you. ”

Li Yuanqing's arrival added a few bright colors to the life of the little emperor of the Apocalypse, he was in a very good mood, laughed and changed the cup with Li Yuanqing, and listened to Li Yuanqing tell about his experience in the north, Wei Zhongxian was by the side, and the smile on his old face could not be hidden.

In the fourth year of the weather, the war in the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty basically maintained a stable and upward trend.

Especially the most important Liaodi, because of Li Yuanqing's efforts, southern Liaoning is stable, and western Liaoning is not under much pressure, so it can develop with peace of mind.

The military strength of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodi is showing a thriving trend.

Although on the side of Ningxia and Yansui, some miscellaneous items under the command of Lin Dan Khan were still unrepentant and secretly came to the border to do a vote, but they were all defeated by the defenders.

In the military of the Ming Dynasty, at least, on the bright side, there is an upward momentum.

Even if there are some natural and man-made disasters inside, but the general trend has maintained the initiative, whether it is the little emperor of the apocalypse or Wei Zhongxian, the mood is excellent.

"Your Majesty, Gonggong Wei, and Nuer Gandusi, although the weather is cold, the land is very fertile, especially in this section of the Jiangkou, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is fertile for thousands of miles. At this time, although Houjin is still strong, he feels that we may not be able to do it in the Northland. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled and stated his thoughts to the Little Emperor of the Apocalypse and Wei Zhongxian.

How shrewd is Wei Zhongxian? He had already faintly realized what Li Yuanqing meant, and couldn't help laughing: "Yuanqing, what do you mean, you want to station troops and farm near Nu'er Gandusi?" ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "My father-in-law is wise." Humble office does have this meaning. There are two main reasons, one is that our Daming water division is strong, and it can completely use the advantages of water divisions to occupy a dominant position in the river basin. Moreover, the weather in the north is cold, and when the river is frozen, if the main force of Houjin goes out to fight Nuer Gandusi, it will also be time-consuming and laborious, and our Ming army has a certain strength in dealing with the defense of the city. This matter has already reached a certain degree of feasibility. It's just that it's going to take some time. The lowly position predicts that if there is another two or three years, the lowly position will definitely take root in the slave gandusi. ”

At this time, Li Yuanqing is like the business manager of Daming Group in southern Liaoning, and when facing the chairman of the board of directors Tianqi Little Emperor and the executive president Wei Gonggong, he always has to look forward to the specific plan of the Liaoning branch in the next year and the new profit growth point.

In such a state at this time, Houjin does not take the initiative to attack southern Liaoning, and it is unrealistic for Li Yuanqing to go straight to Liaoyang and Shenyang if the main force is exhausted.

What he needs more is also time for development.

This time, a far-reaching, feasible, but leeway business report will also be successfully completed.

After all, who is in the world and who can't live with their future?

Not to mention, Li Yuanqing has many real achievements in his hands that almost no one can surpass.

The little emperor of the Apocalypse was also overjoyed when he heard this, "General Li, if this is the case, I will definitely give you a great credit!" Hahaha! ”

Nu'er Gandusi was lost in the hands of his grandfather Wanli Ye, if he could take it back, it would definitely be the highest honor for the little emperor of the Apocalypse.

As far as Li Yuanqing is concerned, he is not too sure about facing Liaoyang and Shenyang now, but he is fully sure of the slave Gandusi.

But Li Yuanqing was just about to speak, when a eunuch suddenly shouted outside: "The queen has arrived!" ”
