After taking control of the people on Shenlong Island, Chen Ao began to call the shots. The first is to order people to remove the poisonous snakes on Shenlong Island. And send someone to pick people up and come here to build a ship. He intended to turn Shenlong Island into a naval base, and ordered his subordinates to buy wood suitable for shipbuilding. Although there is a lot of wood on Shenlong Island, the wood used for shipbuilding must be dried before it can be used, so he doesn't have that time to wait.

"Wei Xiaobao, now you can go back to the emperor's side. If the emperor has any moves, you must report it to me, or you will die not only yourself. Your Shuang'er, Fang Yi and the little county lord will all die. Chen Ao looked like a villain in a TV series and threatened Wei Xiaobao.

"Don't worry, I have been poisoned by you. How dare you do things without care. Wei Xiaobao replied weakly.

Chen Ao still liked the character of Wei Xiaobao quite much in his previous life, and he was not too pressing: "It's good to know, you can take that Shuang'er away." But the other two are to be left as hostages. Well, don't say I don't give you a chance. As long as you find all the forty-two chapters for me. I'll give you the antidote. ”

"I'll find the scriptures as soon as possible, Shizi, then I'll go first." Wei Xiaobao didn't want to stay in front of Chen Ao for a moment, the tricks that were good in the past were all useless in front of Chen Ao. Instead, there is a feeling of being seen through.

After Wei Xiaobao left by boat, Chen Ao plunged into his busy official business. After a while, I sorted out the things of the Shenlong Sect, and I had to arrange for personnel to enter Shenlong Island and count the personnel sent out by Shenlong Island. After seven or eight busy days, I explained everything. Leave the rest to his staff.

Chen Ao himself took the sect leader's wife, that is, Su Quan. There is also the little county lord of King Mu's mansion and Fang Yi. Left Shenlong Island and set off directly back to Yunnan. The capital will be handed over to the stand-in to deal with. Now Chen Ao is most interested in the martial arts cheats left by Hong Antong. Everything else can be put aside.

Returning to Yungui, Chen Ao studied the martial arts left by Hong Antong. While dealing with the affairs reported by the capital and Shenlong Island.

Occasionally, when I have time, I go to meet Lord Mu Xiaojun. It's a pity that the little county lord knows that he is Wu Yingxiong. ignored him, but let Chen Ao, who had always been smooth, suffer a little blow. After a few times, I had to give up, so I could only go home to find Xiaoxuan at home for comfort.

"Brother Tianming, transfer you back this time. I want you to deal with the affairs of Shenlong Island. The island is located in the East China Sea. I will be of great use in the future. I'm tired of Brother Tianming to go and build the boat as soon as possible. If you don't have enough boats, you can buy them, and try to pull the fleet up with the sailors for me. Later I will send someone to Shenlong Island and start training for sea landing. ”

Chen Aozheng explained to Li Tianming, who was transferred out of the ocean-going caravan.

"Shizi, don't worry about the sailors. Over the years, the caravan has brought out many experienced captains and sailors. Shipbuilding may not be able to catch up. It can only be bought, and most of the boats on the Qing court's side are small boats. It's useless to buy it. Platform. Although the Zheng family's boat is okay, there are not many that can be bought. However, there should be a lot of boats on the foreigners' side. ”

Li Tianming is familiar with navigation and shipbuilding, and one sentence dispelled Chen Ao's dream of building ships in a short time.

Chen Ao couldn't help but blush when he heard this, and he also arranged for someone to buy wood. After coughing lightly to hide the embarrassment, he spoke: "Then buy first, but don't let go of shipbuilding." After the foreigner's boat was bought, he also studied more. Bring shipbuilding technology to the next level. After that, it's the world of the ocean. ”

"Understood, Shizi. I'll do it. If nothing else, then I'll go down and clean up. Tomorrow we will set off for Shenlong Island. Li Tianming saw that he had finished explaining, and asked to retreat.

Chen Ao smiled slightly: "Brother Tianming doesn't need to be in a hurry, let's go over and see Xiao Jiu first." You, the big brother, have been out for a few years and haven't come back. Sister-in-law, they are also very concerned about you. Xiao Jiu heard that you were coming back today, and he was clamoring to see you. You go and meet first, and by the way, get together with your family, and it's not too late to leave a few days later. ”

"That subordinate retired first, thank you for your understanding." Li Tianming hesitated, but in the end he couldn't resist missing his relatives. He nodded gratefully.

Li Tianming entered the back house under the leadership of the guards to see his sister who he hadn't seen for a long time. Chen Ao continued to summon the rest of the personnel. I reviewed the information sent by my secret agents, and it took two hours to get everything done.

It is said that after Li Tianming met his sister, he returned to his home. As soon as I got home, I saw that my fat second brother, who looked like a businessman, was already waiting for him in the hall.

"Second brother, I just came back. You'll know the news, it's not a loss to someone who has been the head of the secret disc. When Li Tianming saw his younger brother, he made a rare joke.

"Big brother, don't make fun of me. It's not that you don't know the rules of the world. I handed over all the secret disc work two years earlier, the henchman of the world. If you say this, if the son of the world hears it. I thought I was still holding on to the secret disc and working. The prince still won't give me a board. ”

The fat second brother didn't mind that he was transferred out of the secret saucer at all, and joked with his eldest brother in a relaxed tone.

"It's rare that you can let go, big brother is not as good as you. This time I was transferred away from the ocean, and I was worried about it all the way back. After all, it is a one-handed struggle until now. Suddenly let go, it's really reluctant. When Li Tianming talked about this, he still looked unwilling.

Hearing his eldest brother say this, the fat second brother suddenly looked serious: "The eldest brother didn't show it in front of the world, did he?" ”

"I'm not stupid, how can I show my face in the world." Li Tianming replied angrily.

When the fat second brother heard this answer, he was obviously relieved. He said in a deep tone: "Actually, my eldest brother is transferred overseas, but I think it's a good thing." After all, you have been in charge of the wealth of the prince for too long. If the prince doesn't transfer you, I still have to wonder if the prince wants to kill the dog. ”

The fat second brother didn't wait for his eldest brother to speak, and he said again: "But since the eldest brother has been transferred overseas and my father has also retired, then I am almost about to recover." Our Li family can not be a marquis and worship the prime minister, just look at the present dynasty. I'm not worried about the third brother, but I'm afraid that something will happen to you, the eldest brother. When the younger brother took the liberty to ask the eldest brother, has the eldest brother been greedy for the caravan's money all these years? ”

"It's... Anyway, there are no outsiders, and the eldest brother doesn't hide it. The eldest brother has indeed earned more than two million taels on the caravan in recent years. But it's not that I'm greedy for ink, it's that I invested the capital. Follow the caravan ships to earn their own. What's the matter, the second brother needs money? You need to open your mouth as much as you want. The eldest brother Li Tianming said that he had earned more than two million taels of silver, and he was proud. I thought my brother needed money, but he was quite generous.

On the contrary, the fat second brother was not a little happy when he heard that his eldest brother had earned two million taels. Instead, he blushed: "Tomorrow, the eldest brother must hand over all the money to the prince, and he can't keep any of the money." Otherwise, it will be a talisman for our lives in the future. ”

"I also know that I earned this money by myself, how could it become a talisman. Besides, with the friendship between our family and the son, even if the money is greedy. It's not going to kill your head. Li Tianming said with a little indignation.

"If the son of the world were always the son of the world, of course these things would not have happened. But you see, the prince is ready to launch. With the arrangement of the prince for so many years, it is enough to not move, once the flag is raised. The Qing court decided not to last more than a year. Two years ago, when I was still in the secret saucer, those foreigners and our own craftsmen had already updated the artillery three times. The musket team can also be defeated by one against ten, and I guess even the prince does not know the power of these firearms. After all, these are all arranged by the prince of the world. I've heard from my agents that second-generation artillery can easily collapse city gates when 10,000 cannons are fired. When the time comes to overthrow the Qing court, the prince must be the first person to inherit the great treasure. Even if the prince wants to appoint someone else as a prince, it is estimated that he will be powerless. If the son of the world becomes a great treasure, your matter will be a major crime of killing the head in the eyes of those who have a heart. Not only did it not work, but it had been. ”

The fat second brother saw that his brother was still not angry, and continued to explain.

After Li Tianming listened, he couldn't help but let out a long breath. Only then did I find out what I had been proud of for many years. It turned out to be just a bane. couldn't help but write frustrated: "Fortunately, the second brother reminded me, otherwise the eldest brother may be in danger of the Li family." without knowing it. ”

"Big brother don't have to be discouraged, miss my Li family. It's just a subordinate background. But now it's not a beautiful scenery outside, and money is something outside the body. Having too much will only attract people's eyes. If you don't have that strength, you will only invite disaster. What we have to do now is actually pray to God and worship Buddha. I hope that Xiao Jiu can give birth to a son for the son, so that our Li family can really gain a foothold in front of the son. You don't have to be inferior because of your background. Big brother, as long as you remember, you can only receive what the son of the world gives. If the son didn't give it, he couldn't ask for it. And when did our family run out of money? As long as Xiao Jiu gives birth to the eldest son and grandchild, we are called nobles. No more inferiority. ”

The fat second brother continued to express his opinion.

"What the second brother said is very true, and he has been taught by his brother. I don't know if I went to Shenlong Island for my brother this time, does the second brother have any other suggestions? Hearing what his younger brother said, Li Tianming, the eldest brother, looked like he was humbly listening. Ask your own brain.

"Big brother only needs to do serious things when he goes to Shenlong Island, and he doesn't have to worry too much. However, before you go to Shenlong Island, you can pass away from Zina first, and then ask to see Xiao Jiu. After all, Xiao Jiu is now staying in the back house of the prince all day, and it is inconvenient for me to ask to see him. The eldest brother can take the opportunity to explain a few words to Xiao Jiu. The fat second brother saw that his brother could listen to it, and his expression relaxed a lot.

"What does the second brother need to explain to the ninth sister?" The eldest brother is shrewd in business, but he is not as good at these intrigues as the younger brother in front of him. I didn't bother to guess, so I asked directly.

"The eldest brother only needs to explain to the ninth sister, don't say good things for my Li family in front of the prince. If my Li family makes any small mistakes, let the ninth sister say that she will be severely punished in front of the world. In this way, my Li family will not be remembered by the prince because they are relatives. The eldest brother also explained to the family, don't be arrogant. If there is such a loser's thing. Our Li family cleared the portal first. In this way, my Li family will not follow in the footsteps of those relatives of previous dynasties. ”

When the fat second brother talked about this, things looked solemn. After repeating other matters several times, he got up and left. I don't stay to eat or anything.

But fortunately, Chen Ao didn't hear these words, otherwise he would have spit out the fat man's face: "Lao Tzu is just an ordinary person, so there are so many ghosts you think." Make. If you don't, you're only forced, and if you don't, you'll have to die. Lao Tzu still wants to practice internal skills for a few more years. I don't want to hang up so soon..."
