The eldest brother has arrived in Suzhou, the seat of governance in Jiangnan Province, and has sent personnel to the sea to Liuqiu Island to check the lives of the local people, and by the way, conduct population statistics. In addition, there are also a lot of people in the Penghu area, and with the help of the locals, the personnel sent by the eldest brother have begun to carry out a port viability survey at the southern end of the Liuqiu Island, according to the total of me and the eldest brother at that time, at least on the mainland side of the Liuqiu Island, in the north and south, a port will be built, so that the Liuqiu Island will truly form a transit station and strategic outpost connecting the north and the south.

In addition, the eldest brother has already said in his letter that all prefectures and counties in Jiangnan Province have implemented the method of purchasing official fields for experimental use, and the first batch of rice seeds transported from Linyi, totaling 50,000 stones, has already arrived in Wenzhou and Quanzhou, and the remaining 450,000 stones will all be transported to various coastal ports in Jiangnan Province this year and next year, so as to make preparations for the development of Jiangnan and the increase of grain crop production in Datang.

I was sitting on the low couch sipping tea, thinking about a big matter, at this time, Wan'er walked up to my side and said softly: "Childe, Brother Fang Cheng and Brother Bo have come." ”

"Oh, just let them come up directly, Green Butterfly, you take a jar of incense and let them bring some food, and I will have to talk to these two loyal servants in a while." I turned back to the green butterfly and smiled at the weak green butterfly leaning next to me.

"Junlang, why do you drink again in the daytime, you also made a promise when the second sister went out just now, and you won't drink a drop of wine today." Green Butterfly yawned cutely and glanced at me coquettishly. "Good Die'er, my husband said it, but what my husband said is that if there is no official business, I will never drink a drop of wine today, but now I am for official business, well, good Die'er, don't lose your temper, so let's drink grapes for my husband, and let those two wines drink the fragrance and get drunk, right?" I pinched the green butterfly's burning face, and said with a gentle smile.

"No, the concubine is here to accompany you." Green Butterfly is stubborn, but I'm more authoritative than she is. "Don't be like this, you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the child in your belly, if you don't have a good rest during this time, can you give birth to a good baby for your husband?"

--------------------------------------------------- Green Butterfly's face suddenly turned red, and she buried her head in my arms in shame: "Junlang, what are you talking nonsense, the concubine is just feeling weak in the past few days, and there is no reaction to anything else, you are talking nonsense, and when the time comes, my sisters will hear it, and I must be laughed at." ”

"You, your face is very tender, oops, stop, don't scratch your husband, don't worry, Lang Jun I have a thread on my mouth, I am the father of a few babies, I have experienced a lot of this, I can naturally see some, hehehe, you can rest assured, if Kwai Shui does not come in a few days, the husband will ask Doctor Sun to take a good look at it, Baoding is my kiss The little green butterfly is going to have a baby."

"Ahem, cough, cough ......" There was a very hypocritical coughing sound near the staircase, I let go of the big hand holding the green butterfly, let this beautiful girl escape my grasp, straightened my face and shouted towards the staircase: "What are you coughing about, Bo Narjin, Fang Cheng, you two still haven't come up?" ”

"It's coming, it's coming." Fang Cheng and Bo Narjin's expressions were a little strange, and it seemed that they were very gossipy and eavesdropped on the whispers between Ben Gongzi and his mother-in-law. His eyes widened, and he gave the two loyal servants a vicious look. "Let's all sit down, how about it, there's nothing to do during this time, what are you all busy with?"

"I have been making dried milk for a small period of time, but the milk production is still too small to make much." Bonarjin looked regretful. I nodded slightly: "It's okay, just do it slowly anyway, and in the future, our family will have more cattle, and the milk production will naturally come up, at that time, let's just start the whole workshop." ”

Dried milk is also known as cheese, a high-grade nutritional product most commonly consumed by nomads, and cheese is very nutritious, and I am going to let Bonaljin experiment with mass production, if it is feasible, my children will be the first to benefit, of course, I am also ready to sell this thing for money. I have a lot of money, but I don't mind adding a few zeros to my possessions, it's a pleasure, not a goal.

Fang Cheng was also busy with Bo Narjin during this time, the relationship between these two loyal servants got along very well, which made me very satisfied, the last thing I want to see is internal friction, whether it is between mothers-in-law, or my subordinates, or between my children, once there are such signs, I will ruthlessly suppress and educate, in short, I have no objection to the competition of good surnames, but I firmly oppose the competition of evil surnames.

At this time, the food had been delivered, and the wine jar was also placed on the table, and I motioned to the two loyal servants: "Come, come over and come and talk while eating." Yesterday, my son personally cooked this skin jelly, you are blessed. ”

"Jelly?" Fang Cheng stared at the plate of translucent lumps, very curious, and subconsciously stretched out his chopsticks and poked them.

I raised my eyebrows proudly: "That's right, this thing is made of pigskin, what's the matter, I haven't seen it, I tell you that this thing tastes fresh and beautiful, and it can also nourish your face." If you don't want to eat like this, you can also learn from me to dip it in water and eat it. ”

The day before yesterday was a mid-day holiday, I didn't go to work, I rested at home, but the mother-in-law at home did their own things, I was alone in the courtyard wandering around, boring to the extreme, I went to the kitchen to stroll, I thought of such a delicacy, quickly sent someone to buy a few catties of pigskin, after shaving and washing, added a little yam, put some ginger, green onions, salt, boiled up all morning, and then put it in the snow to ice for an afternoon, at dinner, the family ate happily.

"Boiled in skins? Well, it's so refreshing. "Fang Cheng even claimed to be good at eating.

The two of them drank liquor, I took grapes to accompany each other, leisurely sipped wine, chopsticks side dishes, after a few rounds of wine, I cleared my throat and began to get down to business: "Have you heard of something, this time my Tang righteous division is going to conquer Baekje and the Wa Kingdom this year, and my son will also go out with the army." ”

--------------------------------------------------- "Naturally, I heard about it, and I told my brother when you left the palace yesterday." Fang Cheng took a sip of wine, smashed his mouth beautifully, and continued to gobble up, anyway, in front of me, they will not be restrained at all, originally, eat with people, Lilly and politely become a fart, it is better to squat at home and eat alone.

So I was never polite in front of Uncle Li, I ate when I should eat, I drank when I should drink, but this also made Uncle Li feel a sense of accomplishment when I ate with me, unlike eating at the same table with other people, trembling in front of him, even holding a cup to look at Uncle Li's eyes, this way of eating is not interesting at all.

"Well, I almost forgot, but Ben Gongzi also forgot to tell you one thing, this time the expedition, no more than before, Ben Gongzi will go out with the naval army, instead of the usual commander of the infantry in the past." I smiled and patted my thigh.

Bo Naljin's mouth couldn't help but tremble: "You mean you want to take a sea boat?" ”

"Exactly, the two of you are not very suitable for the life of a sea ship, I know this very well, so I want to ask the two of you, this expedition, would you like to go with my son?" I don't like to force people, especially to force Fang Cheng, Bo Narjin can only be regarded as piggybacking, after all, Fang Cheng and I have a very deep relationship, I don't want this loyal servant to work with negative emotions.

Although Fang Cheng and Bo Narjin were as dead as ashes, they still expressed their firm feelings about their responsibilities and obligations in their tones. "No matter what, the little one must follow the son and not leave one step away." Fang Cheng regarded death as home, although this strong and sturdy loyal servant was not suitable for life on the ship, but as the leader of my own army, he made the most advantageous choice, at least although the Turkic rapper Bo Narjin was crooked for most of the day, he still decided to follow Fang Cheng to the death by my side.

"Since this is the case, I am much more relieved, you two are my right-hand men, this naval battle, this son will command the gunboats of the naval army, it is better to rely on the sword to fight as usual, with long-range strikes, so there is no need to worry too much about security, when the time comes, I hope that the two of you can adapt to life at sea as soon as possible, and then you will be able to make contributions, after this battle, I am ready to recommend the two of you to study in the military academy, with your accumulated military achievements, after graduating from the academy, even if it is not impossible to be a school officer." I said what my ultimate purpose was.

Fang Cheng is real, but the battle is absolutely brave, it can be regarded as a strong general, and Bo Naljin is also excellent, such a talent is definitely a waste of working with me all my life.

"No, the little one doesn't want to go, and the little one is willing to accompany the son for the rest of his life." Fang Cheng's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly refused, and Bo Narjin on the side also swore that he was born as a member of the Fang family, and died as a ghost of the Fang family, and he would not leave the house if he was killed.

Persuaded many times to no avail, the two of them were like Wang Ba eating scales and having an iron heart, I said that my mouth was dry and unwavering, I had to give up angrily, two guys, I don't know the hearts of good people.
