After discussing political affairs, it was already afternoon, and he accompanied everyone to have a simple 'working meal', Li Yuanqing only then had time, returned to the inner study, let Xiaolian make a cup of tea, and carefully weigh the details and gains and losses.

In terms of government affairs, Li Yuanqing is not afraid of the leakage of these core secrets, and even encourages more gentry and scholars to participate in the government affairs of Changsheng Island.

Therefore, this meeting was attended by people from both the military and political sides, including the armory workshop.

Of course, this is not to say that Li Yuanqing is 'big-hearted', and he has 'opened his heart' to these gentlemen who have just joined.

The most critical core is that Changsheng Island is an island, and due to the geographical advantages and congenital control conditions, Li Yuanqing absolutely controls the external transportation of Changsheng Island, which can control the outflow of information to the greatest extent.

Even so, coupled with the fact that he has already made a gesture of 'buying horse bones', how can Li Yuanqing not let himself behave more tolerant and more generous?

With 500 years of experience beyond this world, Li Yuanqing deeply understands that if the economy of Changsheng Island wants to prosper, it is obviously not enough for him alone.

The best way is to get more people involved, let them integrate into the system of Changsheng Island, and according to the location advantages of Changsheng Island, both sides can jointly obtain practical benefits.

At this time, Zhenjiang was eliminated, southern Liaoning and Dongjiang were prosperous, and the Houjin defense line was further tightened, and the two huge markets of eastern Liaoning and southern Liaoning formed a huge vacuum.

Of course, because of the congenital conditions, southern Liaoning and eastern Liaoning have been almost uninhabited, and in a short period of time, they are destined to become a market for commodity dumping, but southern Liaoning and eastern Liaodong, especially Liaodong, have incomparable advantages over thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the Guannei.

The most direct point is the medicinal materials of Liaodong.

The close neighbors of Changbai Mountain, the dense primeval forests of eastern Liaodong, and the Yalu River basin with abundant water system are full of endless treasures in this land because of the love of the people.

Like ginseng, deer antler, bear paw, bear bile, mink, and many Chinese herbs that even Li Yuanqing can't name, there are many, all of which are necessities for people's lives.

In addition, the most famous Korean ginseng of Chao~Xian, as well as many Chao~Xian specialties.

For a long time before, these many precious materials were transferred through Zhenjiang City and then flowed to Guannai.

At this time, Zhenjiang has been abandoned by Li Yuanqing, how can Li Yuanqing waste this opportunity?

Of course, in this regard, Li Yuanqing is not without competitors, that is, Mao Wenlong and Dongjiang.

It's a pity, with the financial resources of Mao Wenlong and Dongjiang at this time, how can they be compared with Li Yuanqing and Zhenjiang, a series of wealthy gentlemen?

In addition, Mao Wenlong's reputation among businessmen is not good, especially in Denglai and the two prefectures, Mao Wenlong's domineering and meticulous work caused them heavy losses.

However, the most critical factor is the limitations of the times.

Mao Wenlong has the ambition to serve the country, and almost all his energy is focused on military affairs, for this somewhat 'ninth-rate' business transaction, he naturally can't be too distracted, and Dongjiang has begun to mobilize troops in the hinterland of Laozhai, which is the best time for Changsheng Island to exert its strength.

Big wealthy families like the Ren family and the Qi family, with the previous accumulation, coupled with Li Yuanqing's support, don't need to spend too much effort to pick up the previous business.

As for the ~ fresh aspect, those small retail investors who eat inside and outside.

How could Li Yuanqing have too much pity for them?

Catch one and kill one, catch two and kill a pair!

They were scared and frightened, so they could only sell the goods in their hands to Changsheng Island.

With Li Yuanqing's influence in the Dongjiang River, at this time, who of these generals in the Dongjiang Department would dare not give him Li Yuanqing face?

It is difficult for these 'small retail investors' to make effective resistance, and they are almost negligible.

However, in order to connect this line faster, Li Yuanqing also needs a fulcrum in a good position.

After all, Changsheng Island is still a bit far away from Zhenjiang, and the land route is not accessible, so the transportation cost and risk are bound to increase a lot.

After carefully looking at the sand table for most of the day, Li Yuanqing slowly stopped his gaze on a small island at the mouth of the Yalu River.

That's Zhangzi Island.

Zhangzi Island is a small island, about a radius of more than ten or dozens of miles, which has long been abandoned and no people live.

After the Dongjiang River was occupied, it was used as a fulcrum to spy on the Liaodi continent and set up hundreds of garrisons here.

But with the relationship between Li Yuanqing and Mao Wenlong at this time, Zhangzidao will be under his own name, how could Mao Wenlong disagree?

After contemplating and thinking for a long time, Li Yuanqing let out a long breath of turbidity, came to the side of the kang next to him and sat down, picked up a pen and paper, and wrote quickly.

After finishing this 'planning', more than an hour has passed, and at this time, there was a sudden crackling sound outside the door, and a childish voice shouted: "Daddy, daddy, shopping, shopping." ”

Li Yuanqing hurriedly came over and opened the door, but found that his eldest son, Li Dingbei, was looking at him expectantly.

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile, picked up this kid, and kissed his little face hard, "Boy, you are a man, why do you want to go shopping?" ”

Li Dingbei couldn't speak completely, but his little hand gestured vigorously: "Daddy, rock sugar gourd." I'm going to eat rock sugar gourd. Delicious ......"

Looking at Li Dingbei's cute appearance, Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing, "Okay, good~~." Daddy will take you to eat rock sugar gourd now. ”

At this time, Zhang Yunniang, Qu Minqiu and his party also arrived quickly, especially a few nurses, who were almost scared.

Seeing that Li Yuanqing was hugging Li Dingbei at this time, everyone relaxed a little, and several nurses hurriedly kowtowed to ask for guilt.

Zhang Yunniang was also frightened, and hurriedly said: "Yuanqing, this little thing in Dingbei is running too fast." I was stunned when the little thing came here. ”

With Li Yuanqing's hard work last night, Zhang Yunniang is a lot brighter today, and her skin seems to be blown and broken, but her baby son actually ran to the inner study, and she was really startled, and her pretty face was a little pale.

Li Yuanqing smiled, but he didn't get angry, and said with a smile: "Get up." In the future, I will give the master some memory and take a good look at the child. The next time this situation occurs, the heavy penalty will not be spared. ”

If several nurses were amnesty, they hurriedly kowtowed to Li Yuanqing with a thousand thanks, and then got up and hugged Li Dingbei.

Li Yuanqing smiled and said to Zhang Yunniang and Qu Minqiu: "Yunniang, Minqiu, you go and prepare, go and wait for me at the gate of the mansion." I still have some chores here, so I'll go over as soon as I'm done. ”

After thinking for a while, Li Yuanqing said again: "By the way, let's see if Baozhu wants to go." If she's okay, let's go shopping together. ”

Zhang Yunniang and Qu Minqiu nodded with a smile, and walked to the front of the house with a group of female dependents and children.

Li Yuanqing took the 'plan' he had just written and came to the office of the sixth merchant in the front yard.

Shang Lao Liu was staring at a few bookkeepers accounting books, and when he saw Li Yuanqing coming, he couldn't help but smile, "Yuanqing, how is it?" Got a great idea? ”

Li Yuanqing also smiled, and handed the plan in his hand to Shang Lao Liu, "That's all for the time being." Brother Shang, take a look, let's discuss again. ”

Shang Lao Liu glanced at it quickly, and his eyes couldn't help but light up, "Zhangzi Island? Yuanqing, if you can take Zhangzi Island, this matter will become eighty percent. However, the Qi family ......"

How could Li Yuanqing not understand the meaning of Shang Lao Liu? smiled faintly and said, "Brother Shang, about Zhangzi Island, I will write to Mao Shuai immediately." As for the Qi family? In a short period of time, let the Qi family follow the Ren family first. ”

Shang Lao Liu smiled and nodded, "That's fine." Private ship trading, in a short period of time, we can't let go. ”

The main business of the Ren family is the purchase of medicinal materials, while the main business of the Qi family is to operate a shipping business, which belongs to the transportation industry.

But at this time, Changsheng Island is limited by many conditions, and the transportation industry is obviously not the time to let go, if the Qi family can go downstream, Li Yuanqing naturally doesn't mind giving them a bite to eat, but on the contrary, if they don't open their eyes, Li Yuanqing naturally doesn't mind sending them to hell to confess.

After discussing the affairs here with Shang Lao Liu, Li Yuanqing was just about to leave, but Shang Lao Liu slapped his head hard and said busily: "Yuanqing, slow down." Look at my brain, it's really funny. Yuanqing, there is one more important thing, I almost forgot to tell you. That's kerosene. In terms of the armory, a higher purity of fire oil has been refined. Even in the cold state of ice and snow, only one spark can be easily ignited. However, in terms of raw materials, there is still a lot of shortage, Yuan Qing, you still have to make up your mind about this matter. ”

"Kerose?"

Li Yuanqing was stunned, but nodded slowly for a moment.

Fire oil is oil, and it has been used in the morning.

However, most of these things are used for fire and lighting, but there is no precedent for them to be used in military affairs.

With the experience of many wars, Li Yuanqing has already been extremely proficient in fire attack.

After refining and filtering out impurities, the fire oil is undoubtedly the best combustion helper, which is undoubtedly dozens of times higher than the combustible substances such as animal fat.

It's just that, due to the limited conditions, this kind of treasure is not produced on Changsheng Island, and the army needs it, so it can only be purchased from other places.

In Li Yuanqing's memory, the two most well-known oil fields in China are the Daqing Oilfield in the northeast and the Shengli Oilfield in Shandong.

As for places like Karamay in the northwest, even if the oil reserves are more abundant, they are too far away, and Li Yuanqing can only think about it.

But even the area to which the Daqing Oilfield belongs is an area that is almost impossible for Li Yuanqing to reach now.

The only effective one is Shandong, where the Shengli Oilfield belongs.

In later generations, Li Yuanqing vaguely remembered that there were also a lot of oil reserves on the sea in the Bohai Bay, but according to the level of science and technology at this time, even if there were, Li Yuanqing could only watch and could not exploit it at all.

In the Shengli Oilfield area, due to the strength of Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai, Li Yuanqing could only 'sneak into the village, and those who did not shoot' could not completely let go of his hands and feet.

"Let's follow the original process first. It doesn't hurt to follow the path of the merchants on the Denglai side and spend more silver. Be sure to stock up on stock. Li Yuanqing whispered to Shang Lao Liu.

Shang Lao Liu hurriedly nodded, "Yuanqing, don't worry." I'll do it as soon as possible. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, smiled and patted Shang Lao Liu's shoulder, "Brother Shang, it's hard work." In the evening, we brothers have a good drink. ”

Shang Lao Liu couldn't help laughing, "It's okay." Yuanqing, it's been a long time since we've sat down for a drink. ”
