~~~~~~

On both sides of the official hall, the brazier burns 'crackling', and the red firelight dispels the icy cold wind outside, and smokes the warmth of the room like spring. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

But at this time, as soon as Wei Liang's words came out, the faces of Shang Lao Liu and Steward Ma changed.

Li Yuanqing still maintained the smile on his face just now, and said busily: "Lord Shang, this is your duty, didn't you hear what Gonggong Wei said?" Why don't you go and get the census book? ”

Shang Lao Liu looked at Li Yuanqing, Li Yuanqing signaled him with his eyes to feel at ease, Shang Lao Liu also reacted, Wei Liang now represents the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, how can his little arms be twisted over his thighs? Busy smiled: "Yes." If you are lowly, you will go and get the book. ”

Seeing Shang Lao Liu hurrying away, Wei Liang showed a smug smile on his face, "General Li, you know, there are many things, and the miscellaneous family is not trying to embarrass you, but the emperor's order is in his body, and the miscellaneous family can't help himself." ”

Li Yuanqing nodded with a smile, "That's what Gonggong Wei said." Father-in-law Wei's loyalty to the emperor can be seen every day, and he is also admired. ”

The two laughed and laughed without half a point of nutrition, Li Yuanqing deliberately flattered, and there was no trace of impatience.

This made Wei Liang's heart a little unhappy.

He is the supervisor of the army, on behalf of the Son of Heaven, monitoring and supervising everything Li Yuanqing does on Changsheng Island, this is his duty, but to a large extent, he is one with Li Yuanqing, Li Yuanqing has merits, he has merits, if Li Yuanqing is defeated, he will never be pleased.

Although this Wei Liang is the family of Father-in-law Wei, in fact, he is far from having the opportunity and ability of Father-in-law Wei.

Li Yuanqing really didn't guess one thing, this Wei Liang Wei Gonggong, in the palace, is doing the work of digging dung, since he entered the palace as a teenager, this work has been done for 30 years......

If in ordinary times, he can't have a bright future, but life is an opportunity, because this guy knows a few words, it happens to be the home of Father-in-law Wei, and the palace has encountered several times of the Qing Dynasty ~ Washing, Father-in-law Wei pulled out the general in the dwarf, and picked out the loyal and honest him.

And for this position, he also spent his savings of nearly thirty years.

Of course, Li Yuanqing didn't know Wei Liang's past, but Wei Liang knew that Li Yuanqing had a relationship with Gonggong An, and he was also appreciated by Gonggong Wei.

Wei Liang was already forty-five or sixteen, survived in the palace, and had already honed his human essence, and said with a smile: "General Li, how many people are on this Immortal Island, you must know better than the book." Otherwise, you can just tell the miscellaneous family. Looking through the booklet, I don't know when I'm going to make trouble. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, and Wei Liang also showed a kind smile.

At such a time, why is Li Yuanqing still unclear? Busy smiled: "Grandpa Wei is wise." ”

As he spoke, he began to briefly describe the current population structure and base of Changsheng Island with Wei Liang.

At this time, after such a long period of accumulation, coupled with the replenishment of Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang headquarters, and the Liao people who fled from southern Liaoning, the population base of Changsheng Island has exceeded 20,000.

But there were less than 8,000 men, and less than 3,000 soldiers.

There are more than 10,000 Liao people on Denglai's side, and there are seven or eight thousand young people, and the rest are strong girls and children.

Some of these young people are alone, with families and businesses, about more than 1,000 people, and some of them are still in Denglai and have not come with the fleet.

The original population of more than 20,000 people has been recorded, but the new 10,000 people have not yet had time to be resettled.

The most important thing is that the original population of more than 20,000 people is easy to explain, but the more than 10,000 people in Dengzhou are not easy to explain.

Li Yuanqing did not shy away from it, and directly and truthfully described the composition to Wei Liang.

Wei Liang's face also changed a little after hearing this, and he hurriedly said: "General Li, this, this, Dengzhou......"

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Father-in-law, over there in Dengzhou, I have already met Lord Yuan of Futai, and Lord Yuan does not have many objections to this. Father-in-law, you have also seen that Changsheng Island is bitterly cold, the land is barren, and it is very difficult for the sons and daughters and their families to eat enough. ”

Wei Liang naturally understood what Li Yuanqing meant, Li Yuanqing had already done the matter, and he hurriedly said: "General Li, then~~, how should the miscellaneous family report to the Son of Heaven?" ”

Li Yuanqing approached Wei Liang's side and deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Father-in-law, the population base of Dengzhou is now recorded in the book, and we don't have so much manpower." And you know......"

Li Yuanqing briefly told Wei Liang about the salt farm.

Wei Liang's eyes lit up after hearing this, in this era, the sale of private salt is like the most lucrative poison ~ product in later generations, who doesn't want to take a bite when they see it?

In the past, even if Wei Liang wanted to, he didn't have this opportunity, but at this time, Li Yuanqing put the opportunity in front of him.

But Wei Liang was a little uneasy, and hurriedly said: "General Li, this, if you check it up......

Li Yuanqing smiled faintly, "Father-in-law, you can rest assured in this matter." The lowly position will be dealt with properly. Eternal Island is not small. ”

"Then, the miscellaneous family will report to 20,000 people?" Wei Liang looked at Li Yuanqing with some weakness.

Li Yuanqing smiled and was just about to speak, when Shang Lao Liu had already brought someone to bring the booklet, and four or five personal soldiers carried it, I was afraid that there would be a hundred catties of booklets.

"Father-in-law, did you get the booklet?" Shang Lao Liu vigorously touched the beads of sweat on his head.

His office was in the front yard of the official hall, only a few dozen steps away, but Rao was still tired and sweating profusely.

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "Lord Shang, the general has already reported to his father-in-law. ”

Shang Lao Liu was stunned for a moment, but he also understood, and hurriedly smiled and said to Wei Liang: "The public is wise, and the humble duty is admired." ”

Wei Liang hurriedly looked at Li Yuanqing as if he was asking for help.

Although he wants to bluff people, this guy obviously doesn't have the courage to deal with this kind of thing.

Li Yuanqing also understood Wei Liang's ability, and hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, Lord Shang will help you with this matter tomorrow." Besides, you have only been on Changsheng Island for less than a day, and if this information is sent out, I'm afraid that the emperor's side will ......."

Wei Liang instantly understood what Li Yuanqing meant, hurriedly wiped the cold sweat on his head, and arched his hand: "Thank you General Li for your teachings." The miscellaneous family almost made a big mistake. ”

Li Yuanqing hurriedly smiled and said: "Father-in-law, you have been serving the emperor, and you don't know that things are complicated underneath, of course it's no wonder you." But this kind of thing, there is no coincidence, just look at it twice. Lord Shang, my father-in-law is working so hard tonight, go, take 100 taels of gift money, and buy some charcoal for my father-in-law to go to the cold. ”

Wei Liang hurriedly smiled: "This, this, General Li, how embarrassing is this?" ”

…………

Wei Liang took the gift money and left happily, Shang Lao Liu was a little speechless, "Yuanqing, this matter has been done so quickly?" ”

Li Yuanqing shook his head slowly, "Brother Shang, Steward Ma, the affairs of this batch of Dengzhou Liaomin must be dealt with as soon as possible." Starting tomorrow, divide them, the old and infirm, let them go and build salt works around them, no, let them all go and build salt works, and build them to the south. The more the merrier. ”

"Yes." The two hurriedly wrote it down.

At this time of year, the land has been frozen hard, and it will not be very effective to reclaim wasteland, not to mention the time and effort.

In terms of the salt farm, there is no technical content, that is, build a house first, dig a pit to burn the stove to cook salt, and dry the salt, which is about to enter the cold winter, and it is not a way to crowd around the town all the time.

Shang Lao Liu understood the truth, but there was a more critical problem, he looked at Li Yuanqing, and said helplessly: "Yuanqing, we don't have much food." ”

Li Yuanqing had expected this problem for a long time, but when he really heard Shang Lao Liu say it, he was still a little tired and weak, "Brother Shang, how much food do we have?" How long will it last? ”

Shang Lao Liu said: "If there is no such group of Dengzhou Liaomin, we will last for three years next year, and there will be no big problem, but now, I'm afraid, we will just be able to celebrate the New Year." ”

Li Yuanqing nodded.

Now, he only has less than 10,000 taels of silver on hand, and it is freezing in the cold weather, and if he goes to buy food, plus the New Year's Festival, I am afraid it will be a lot more expensive.

But even if it is difficult, at this time, Li Yuanqing naturally can't be frightened in front of the people below, Yun Qingfeng smiled lightly: "I have a way to do this." Let's settle down this group of people first, and then talk about it after the New Year. ”

"Yes~."

…………

After sending away Shang Lao Liu and Steward Ma, Zhang Yunniang Shi Shiran walked to Li Yuanqing's side, "Brother, I boiled some red date porridge, you can drink some while it's hot." ”

Li Yuanqing smiled and took Zhang Yunniang in his arms, put his face on her already plump chest, and felt the heat on her body.

Nearly two years have passed, and the little girl of the year, because she had no worries about food and clothing, was above others, and her body and temperament had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Although time has passed, everything yesterday seems to be right in front of you, and the little girl in front of her has become a pretty young woman with a strong youthful and mature atmosphere, but in Li Yuanqing's eyes, in Shenyang City, the scene of two figures, one big and one small, is exhausted, but it can't be dispersed......

Zhang Yunniang also felt that Li Yuanqing's mood seemed to fluctuate a little, she gently hugged Li Yuanqing's neck, hugged him in her arms, and said carefully: "Brother, what's wrong?" But something doesn't go your way? ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, took her in his arms, and let her sit on his lap, "It's nothing." What else can stump my brother and me? By the way, Yun Niang, has there been any movement these days? ”

Li Yuanqing gently stroked her lower abdomen.

Zhang Yunniang's face darkened, and she said with some grievances: "Brother, isn't it, is it my ......?"

Li Yuanqing blocked her small mouth for a long time, until Zhang Yunniang was out of breath, and he let go.

Zhang Yunniang's face was already flushed, and her eyes were watery.

Li Yuanqing put his big hand into her shirt from behind and said with a smile: "Don't think nonsense, we still don't have enough land, everything will be there." Yun Niang, you go and call Minqiu and Caizi to your room, tonight, let's have a meeting at home. ”

Zhang Yunniang couldn't help but be speechless, of course she understood what Li Yuanqing meant, although this was a bit unorganized, but if her brother wanted to do this, she naturally had to obey the order.

Zhang Yunniang was just about to break free from Li Yuanqing's embrace and leave, but Li Yuanqing grabbed her little hand and said solemnly: "Yunniang, I want to marry you." ”

Zhang Yunniang was stunned for a moment, her tears instantly couldn't stop falling, and she threw herself into Li Yuanqing's arms.

Li Yuanqing felt the little girl trembling in his arms, and he couldn't say what he felt in his heart, in too many aspects, he really didn't do well enough.

Instead of hoping for things that don't have a shadow yet, it's better to do a good job in the moment first.

Seeing Zhang Yunniang disappear from sight, Li Yuanqing withdrew his gaze.

He now looks like a big boss with a glamorous appearance, but in reality, his finances are on the verge of collapse.

Gently sniffing the lingering fragrance left by Zhang Yunniang on his fingers just now, Li Yuanqing suddenly smiled, the road ahead is indeed very difficult, and there are many hardships, but the difficulties are not for people to conquer?
