Those who did not sign up to go to sea in Xishan at the beginning regretted that their intestines were green, and they inquired early in the morning to see if there was a chance to go to sea with them! Now there is finally news, Hou Ye is going to select people to go to sea with him, originally they thought that there must be many people on a ship, but Liu Chuanchuan is definitely not enough! And Hou Ye will not be able to have a boat in the future, of course, he needs a lot of manpower, although he can be recruited outside, but these people are the people Hou Ye trusts the most! Because these people have more than one life, and even their children and grandchildren are tied to the Li Mansion, just because everyone is looking forward to it, so as soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a sensation, a huge sensation, and this news quickly caused a huge sensation in Lijiazhuang, but this is only the beginning, because the Zhuangzi of the Su family is not only this one, together with Changle Township, where Li Lizhen married, there are even more, Li Yong was also a little worried after returning to the mansion, because he didn't know how to tell Li Lizhen that going south had been planned early, Li Yong didn't tell Li Liqing for a long time, because he really couldn't say it, only Gao Gao and Zheng Liwan knew about this plan and a few people in Huating County knew it, if it was to say it to Wu Cao, it was easy to speak, but it was the tender Li Liqing who made it difficult for him to speak, the first few expeditions had already worried the beauty several times, Li Yong returned to the backyard, and met Li Lizhen coming with flowers in hand, it turned out to be a flower arrangement! Seeing Li Liqian's face filled with a sweet smile, it was even more difficult for him to speak.

"Lang Jun, is it good-looking?"

Li Li asked excitedly, her face was full of cute looks expecting to be appreciated, and Li Yong nodded with a smile.

"Beautiful! Flowers are beautiful, people are more beautiful than flowers! ”

Li Lizhi smiled sweetly when she heard this.

"Is Lang Jun done today?"

Li Yong nodded.

"Well, I went to the palace and went to the secret stronghold of the shipyard, the saint ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Li Yong suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of the gate, why did he listen to the noise outside? It was noisy, as if a lot of people had gathered in front of the gate, what happened? Li Lizhi also noticed the movement outside and asked suspiciously.

"What's wrong? Why is it so noisy outside? ”

Does anyone dare to come to Lijiazhuang to make trouble? Although this is just a Zhuangzi, one of Li Yong's residences, how can it also be a dignified marquis's mansion and a princess's mansion, looking at the whole world, who dares to be presumptuous?

"I'll go see what's going on!"

Li Yong said with a smile.

"I'll go with Lang Jun! Sounds hilarious! ”

Li Lizhi smiled and said, it's nothing anyway, just accompanied by Lang Jun, Li Yong and Li Lizhi just stepped out of the backyard together, the housekeeper Liu Fu had already rushed over, and kept wiping the sweat on his forehead, Li Yong asked with a smile.

"What's going on out there? Why does it sound so noisy? ”

Liu Fu said continuously.

"Shocked Hou Ye, the people on the Zhuangzi all gathered around to see Hou Ye, and the whole street was surrounded by water."

Li Lizhi was very surprised when she heard this, and the people of the entire Zhuangzi gathered around to see Hou Ye? Just why? Has anything happened in Zhuangzi lately? Why doesn't she, the head of the house, know at all? Li Lizhi glanced at Li Yong slightly, and felt a little self-blame in her heart, the little things in the Zhuangzi should not bother Lang Jun, these small things should be dealt with by her, the housewife, after all, what Lang Jun has to worry about is the affairs of the state and the world, Li Yong guessed some, is it because he wants to go to sea? He was also a little puzzled, did the news of going to sea spread so quickly? He has only been back home for a short time! Could it be that Liu Chuanchuan and the others walked through the streets and alleys with a loudspeaker? The door of the house has been opened, and the dark area outside is full of people, men, women and children, looking at this posture, those who don't know think that the poor people are begging for justice around the house of the black-hearted gentry.

"Lord Hou, the princess has arrived!"

Li Yong and Li Lizhi walked out of the gate hand in hand, and the whole street suddenly fell silent. Then there was a loud greeting.

"Master Hou! Princess! ”

"I've seen Master Hou! I've seen the princess! ”

The people of the entire Lijiazhuang respect Li Yong and Li Lizhen, the head of the family and the housewife, from the bottom of their hearts, not only because of the noble status of Li Yong and Li Lizhen, but also because Li Yong and Li Lizhen led them to live a good life.

"No need to be polite! I heard the butler say, "You all want to see me, what are you for?" ”

Li Yong said with a smile, everyone ran excitedly when they heard Liu Chuanchuan and they said that Hou Ye was going to find someone to go to sea, but now that they really saw Hou Ye, they were a little overwhelmed, although Li Li smiled like a flower, and Li Yong also had a gentle smile on his face, but there was still an unspeakable pressure from the superiors, even if Li Yong behaved peacefully, it was still restrained, Li Yong's gaze swept over everyone and finally fell on a thirteen or fourteen-year-old half-grown boy in front of him, isn't this a student in the school? What's it called?

"Li Dali, why did you come here too?"

Li Yong asked with a smile.

"Master Hou, I, I, I want to go to sea! I heard Brother Chuan say that Master Hou is going to send someone to the sea, I, I ......"

Li Dali replied hesitantly, sure enough, because of the matter of going to sea, the news spread really fast enough, Li Yong patted his head lightly and said with a smile.

"How old are you kid, you can't go to school in the academy, and you still want to go to sea? Monkey business! At your age, the most important thing is to study hard, not to listen to things outside the window, and to only read the books of sages and sages, do you understand? ”

Li Dali lowered his head a little ashamedly, and said with a weak heart.

"Yes, Master Hou!"

Li Yong looked around and smiled.

"Did everyone come here because of the sea?"

"Yes, Master Hou, we heard Liu Chuanchuan and them say that Master Hou wants to send more people to follow him to the sea, and the little ones have come to ask Master Hou for mercy, let us follow!"

Li Lizhen was very surprised when she saw this black person, so many people came here to go to sea? There are too many people who want to go to sea, right? In fact, this is not much at all, Li Lizhen will not know at all, if Li Yong plans to choose people from Chang'an City to go to sea, and people who want to go to sea can line up to go around Chang'an City several times, even Li Yong underestimated the impact of those dozens of cars of spices on the people of Chang'an, not only the impact of those dozens of cars of spices, but also the reputation and prestige that Li Yong has always established, making everyone believe that there are indeed countless wealth overseas, Li Yong and Li Lizhi still underestimated his influence and appeal after all, in Chang'an and even the entire Tang Dynasty, Li Yong is a legend, let alone in Lijiazhuang? Originally, Li Yong really wanted to select dozens of people to follow Liu Chuanchuan and them on the boat together, looking at this black posture, he had a headache, there were too many people who wanted to go, this was really a happy trouble. The people of Wuyang, they all looked forward to and longed, Li Yong suddenly realized a problem, because Liu Chuanchuan and they returned with glory, maybe everyone only saw the glorious side, but they didn't know the dangerous side, and this, we must make it clear to everyone! Li Yong said with a smile.

"Cheng Zhihe, they pulled dozens of carriages of spices back, made a lot of contributions, and won a lot of rewards, everyone is very envious, right?"

Everyone laughed embarrassedly when they heard this, how could they not be envious? Li Yong put away his smile and said with a straight face.

"Liu Chuanchuan, this kid must have boasted a lot, but I have to tell you that going to sea is a very dangerous thing, you may fall when you walk, you may fall off your horse while riding, let alone go to sea? How windy and rough the sea is, as well as reefs, this is very dangerous, and going to sea is never an easy task, do not think that going to sea is to go out for a vacation, and then you can pull a large ship of wealth back. ”

In fact, everyone also knows that going to sea is risky, Liu Chuanchuan and they are not less boasting in Zhuangzi, as if he personally saw the spice island, but also boasting of fighting the wind and waves, fighting the beautiful scenery of big fish, blowing that is dark and dark, the sun and the moon are not light, although people know that Liu Chuanchuan is bragging, but everyone also understands that going to sea is indeed risky, so after listening to Li Yong's solemn explanation, most people's faces have not changed, they feel that Hou Ye is right, they can fall down when walking, You can fall to death while riding a horse, and you can be kicked to death by a donkey when you plough the field! Isn't it dangerous to fight? Aren't there so many people who want to be crowned with wives and sons? If Cheng Zhihei and they can't come back, then maybe no one will dare to go to sea again, but Cheng Zhihei and the others have all come back with a lot of hair, and everyone thinks that since Liu Chuanchuan and a few people can, why can't they?

"Master Hou, we are not afraid of danger!"

"Yes, Master Hou, we are not afraid of danger!"

"Master Hou, please, let's go to sea with us!"

Everyone is still so enthusiastic to sign up! Li Yong raised his voice.

"Okay, if you want to go to sea, you can find a housekeeper to sign up, only one hundred people will be selected to go to sea this time, the only son in the family is not allowed to go to sea, those under the age of twenty are not allowed to go to sea, and those who are physically fit and can water are preferred!"

As Li Yong's voice fell, the entire long street became noisy, some people were happy and some were worried.

"I can sign up, I'm not an only child, I'm strong, I can water, hahaha!"

"Why can't an only son go to sea?"

"I'll be twenty in two months, can't I sign up?"

The housekeeper Liu Fu walked out with the steward and said loudly.

"Don't worry, you can sign up if you meet the conditions, of course, today is just to register, whether you can be selected or not is not necessarily ......"

Li Yong and Li Lizhen have already walked into the mansion together, and Li Lizhen said with a smile.

"No wonder it's so lively outside, it's because everyone wants to go to sea!"

"Yes, those dozens of truckloads of spices have pushed the sea to the forefront, not only do they want to go to sea, but who doesn't want to send people to the sea?"

Li Yong said leisurely.

"Seeing that the families of the Tang Dynasty are organizing people to go to sea, it is urgent for the imperial court to rebuild the maritime yamen into a city, so the sage wants me to go south to investigate."

Li Yong obviously felt that Li Li's little hand was clenched all of a sudden.

"Father wants Lang Jun to go south?"

Li Lizhi bit her lip lightly and looked nervous, of course this kind of thing should be pushed on Li Er without hesitation, anyway, Li Er really wanted him to investigate and rebuild the maritime yamen into the city, Li Yong nodded.

"Well, we are still very familiar with the south, and we also know where it is suitable to be set as a port for going to sea, and I also want to meet Geng Guogong."

Li Lizhi held Li Yong's hand tightly, she didn't speak for a long time, she was very reluctant, and at the same time complained very much about her father, Li Yong pulled out his hand, took her directly in his arms, and said with a smile.

"I'm going south, not north, so you don't have to worry, I'll return to Chang'an soon, at most half a year."

In fact, Li Lizhen also understands what Li Yong said, when her father wanted to conquer Gaochang Kingdom last autumn, she thought that Li Yong was going to take command of the expedition, but the feeling of being extremely nervous and worried still makes her remember, but now, knowing that Li Yong is going south, she is more reluctant than nervous and worried, the south is rich and stable, and there is no need to fight, so naturally there is no need to worry about danger, not to mention that there is Huating County, and there will be no danger, she just thought that she would not see Li Yong for a long time, and she was a little panicked in her heart, not worried, It's missing! All the way back to the upper room, Li Lizhi held the flowers but looked dazed.

"What's wrong with the princess?"

Cui Mo asked suspiciously, and Yingluo pouted.

"The sage wants to send the marquis south, saying that he wants to rebuild the maritime yamen into a city."

Cui Mo was surprised when he heard this.

"There are so many officials in the imperial court, why do you want to let Hou Ye go south?"

Wu Cao's mind raced, and he smiled.

"Yes! Princess, Hou Ye was forced by the imperial court to return to Chang'an from Huating County, training soldiers and developing firearms, Bai Stacked Flowers is also a big deal, Hou Ye is busy in Chang'an, how can he easily leave Chang'an and go south? ”

In fact, Li Lizhi also understood what Cui Mo and Wu Cao meant, it was nothing more than wanting her to enter the palace to find her mother or father to intercede, when she heard Li Yong say that she wanted to go south, she did have an urge to immediately enter the palace to find her mother or father, but at this time she calmed down, if she really entered the palace, she might be able to beg her father not to let Lang Jun go south, but is it right to do so? In all fairness, Lang Jun is indeed the most suitable person to go south to open the sea, because Lang Jun is the most familiar with going to sea, and Lang Jun is already an important minister in the court, of course, she has to worry about the king, so she can't enter the palace to beg her father and mother not to let Lang Jun go south, in that case, she is too selfish, let others think of Lang Jun? And the sisters of Huating County should also come back to Chang'an this time, Li Lizhi shook her head.

"Lang Jun is most familiar with the opening of the sea, so Lang Jun going south is also the proper meaning, in fact, think about it, compared to letting Lang Jun go to the expedition, it is better to let Lang Jun go south to preside over the opening of the sea! At least the south is rich and stable, and there is still Sister Liwan in Huating County, so you don't have to worry about danger, and this time I want my sister and them to go back to Chang'an for a reunion! ”

Wu Cao, Cuimo and others couldn't help but nod their heads when they heard this, it seems that this is indeed the truth, when the emperor decided to move troops against Gao Changguo in the autumn of last year, they were very worried at that time, for fear that Hou Ye would be hand-picked by the emperor to go on the expedition. The taste of fear is the most torturous, Wu Cao said with a smile.

"What the princess said is that the Hou Ye going south can be regarded as an advantage or inferior!"
