Since Li Fengtian took the initiative to stay and monitor Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen was not easy to drive him away, and the hospitality of good food and drink every day did not restrict his freedom, and even in the governor's mansion, he could come and go freely.

In stark contrast to the rumors of Fengyang City, Changshan City is still very lively, never closed at night, singing everywhere, and even the city gate has always been open and never closed, a prosperous and peaceful atmosphere.

But it doesn't look like a state of rebellion when the big war comes?

He slipped into a small restaurant in the city, asked for a few dishes, poured himself a drink, and chatted with the owner and diners.

Ask them if they know that Yan Yun is going to war? The big guys said they didn't know, and said that even if we fight, what does it have to do with us?

Yanyun County has been fighting all these years, what's new?

But if you go to war, don't you worry about being affected by war?

Answer: That shouldn't be, we have Old Man Chen, as well as Governor Xiao Chen, as well as Zhuge Xiaosheng, Marshal Li Ling, they are the patron saints of our Yanyun people, since they came, the gate of Changshan City has not been closed, and the door shafts on both sides of the city gate are rusty......

"Then like the young adults in your family, they also need to serve in the military, right?" Li Toyota is step-by-step, earnest and inducing.

"This guest officer is a foreigner when he hears you." An elderly guest said with a smile, "We don't have any military service in Yanyun County. ”

"Since Yanyun County has been fighting in the past few years, won't it be conscripted?" Li Toyota asked.

"Conscription has never been, there are recruitment, but it is not easy to be a soldier, a few years ago, it was okay, as long as you are young and have good physique, you can often be selected, but now it is not possible, people have to be literate and can write, but also have a good appearance, seven feet long, the conditions are harsh!" The old man said.

"Isn't it?" A middle-aged guest next to him interjected, "My third boy dreams of being a soldier, but he is not tall enough, and he is not very literate, so people don't want it at all, and he can't even be a firehead soldier!" ”

Everyone nodded yes again and again, these days, it's really not easy for you to be a soldier.

"Why do I listen to the tone of the big guy, is it still a beauty to be a soldier?" Li Toyota listened to the freshness of Dute, since ancient times, he has never heard of ordinary people who are willing to join the army as soldiers.

"Isn't it just a beauty difference?" The middle-aged man said, "If a person is a soldier, the whole family will have something to eat, and the military masters will have five taels of silver every month, and if they catch up with the war, it will be ten taels, which is not counting the reward for military merits. ”

"This is still just soldiers, if you can be an officer who leads a company in any squad, then you can earn more silver, I heard that the salary and silver they receive for a company are comparable to our Lord Liu Congshu! The old and young of the old Wangtou's family are out, and now he is the leader of the navy company, and that guy has more than thirty taels of silver every month! The old man looked envious.

The more Li Fengtian listened, the more angry he became, the special Lao Tzu was a dignified five-grade man in the military department, and his monthly salary was not thirty taels, and he couldn't even compare to a junior officer in Yanyun County.

You Yanyun County is really rich, so rich and still crying poor with the court, it is too much to ask you for millions of silver every year, crying and shouting to sue us...... I don't think 10 million taels is too much for you!

But maybe it was because the imperial court was ready to start collecting their money and grain that Xiao Chen was forced to rebel? Ahh He was originally a courtier of the Great Zhou, and he should not have rebelled no matter what......

Finally waited for the fleet to sail, standing on the high deck of the Xiao Zi, looking at the dense battleships and cargo ships in the port, Li Fengtian felt a little dizzy.

Although he had long known that the Yanyun Navy had developed rapidly in recent years, he really didn't expect it to be so rapid, saying that he had used hundreds of warships in an ocean-going training trip, so how many warships did he Yanyun Navy have in total is it extremely scary?

No wonder even the mighty Dongying warships were defeated at their hands! I always thought that it was the Rus who defeated Dongying, but now it seems that this may not be the case......

Xiao Chen, he's only been here for a few years in Yanyun, how could he be like this? But it made Li Toyota puzzled.

"Lord Li, when this sea breeze blows, it's really cool, isn't it?" Xiao Chen walked over with his hands behind his back and accosted him.

"Lord Xiao, there are only three hundred warships you have registered with my military department, and more than two hundred of them are small warships, where did so many big guys come from now, let me ask you?" Li Toyota asked with a calm face.

"It's on credit." Xiao Chen smiled, "Didn't you see that many of them here are Ross' ironclad ships?" We didn't help the Ross people last time, so we can't help in vain, and we don't have to ask him for some benefits? ”

These words made Li Fengtian a little confused, didn't the Ross people help you Yanyun? Why did you help them again? Feelings are said anyway, it's you, Lord Xiao, who has the final say.

"Your battleship is full of Yanyun Xiaozi flags." Li Fengtian squinted his eyes and said, "Then your Yanyun Navy is still considered to be the sequence of our Great Zhou?" ”

"Master Li doesn't know." Xiao Chen explained, "If we hang the military flag of our Great Zhou, I'm afraid that the little devils in Dongying will misunderstand, let's go all the way south this time, but we can't guarantee that we will pass by the sea area of the Dongying people, in case you can't see what conflict happened at night, it's not stubborn." ”

It means that the people of Dongying don't dare to touch my Yanyun Navy, but you Great Zhou Naval Division can't keep it together.

Now your relationship with the Dongying people is really not good......

"Lord Xiao, now that the war in the north has basically calmed down, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you Yanyun County to raise such a battleship? If according to the opinion of the lower officials, how good would it be to subordinate all of us to the Great Zhou Water Division? You also know that the strength of our Great Zhou Water Master is also quite weak. Li Fengtian said.

"That's what I actually did." Xiao Chen said, "But I'm afraid that if the Rus people suddenly turn against us and send a fleet to fight my Yan Yun, it will be difficult to deal with it." ”

"Hehe, isn't Lord Xiao already ally with the Rus?" Li Toyota sneered.

"If you are not of my race, you must have different hearts, and you must guard against it!" Xiao Chen said, "Not only to guard against the Rus, but also to guard against the Dongying people, although we won the last battle, but they did not hurt the muscles and bones, as the so-called hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen, and the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse." ”

"I think you, Lord Xiao, have different intentions, right?" Li Fengtian said with a smile, "If your Yanyun Navy merges with the Great Zhou Naval Division, you can also fight against them, and now that our emperor has pacified Yizhou, and the army of the two princes has also returned to the dynasty in triumph, if you are stationed in Shunfeng City, what are you afraid of?" ”

"Oh?" Xiao Chen's sword eyebrows raised when he heard this, "Is this what you Lord Li mean, or what the emperor and the court mean?" ”
