Kashima.

With a cool sea breeze, a large ship docked at the island's pier, dropped anchor, and lowered the planks that disembarked.

One of them stepped off the boat quickly.

The soldiers guarding the dock greeted him: "Master Duan, the general is waiting for you in the house." ”

"Got it."

This person is Wang Shaoxun's deputy, Duan Cheng.

With a wave of his hand, several soldiers disembarked from the ship carrying several large boxes and gently placed them on the ground.

"Wow, I went out and came back so quickly, and I got so many good things." The soldiers guarding were surprised.

"What? It was given by someone else. ”

With that, Duan Cheng patted the soldier's shoulder and walked towards the cottage.

The owner of the cottage is none other than Wang Shaoxun.

At this time, Wang Shaoxun was facing a few dishes of dishes, but he didn't have any appetite.

In the past, when I gnawed on the nest, I didn't worry as much as I do now.

The bitterness in his heart is still because of Yang Chengying in Jinzhou Town.

is so young, but he has already commanded tens of thousands of troops, and Jinzhou Town is also very rich.

Not to mention Jinzhou Town, let's talk about Dachangshan Island and other islands in southern Liaoning, in the past few months, from a barren area to a fertile land.

It is said that a large amount of food was hoarded on the island, and it also supplied tens of thousands of people who brought it back.

Compared with these hundreds of people, it is not worth mentioning.

What made him even more emotional was that when it came to blackmailing Li Chao, he still had to respond to Yang Chengying, and he opened his mouth to take away more than 100,000 taels of silver.

The merchants who went to the Li Dynasty with the army, who did not make a lot of money, shouted at Yang Chengying one by one, "Yang Ye", and was willing to provide the ship for free.

In Yang Chengying's pen, it was another scene, where hundreds of big ships were used, Jinzhou Town was injured and bones, and the silver and grain were extorted from the imperial court.

"Ahem."

The coughing sound in front of him interrupted Wang Shaoxun's sorrow and pulled his thoughts from memories to reality.

He raised his head, it was Duan Cheng who came back.

"How did you come back so quickly?" Wang Shaoxun asked puzzled.

There are some people living on Lion Island, which Wang Shaoxun appeased very early, even in front of Yang Chengying, he didn't say a word.

Wang Shaoxun sent Duan Cheng to the island to supervise the harvest and collect some grain to survive the winter.

"I didn't go at all." Duan Cheng shrugged his shoulders, looking a little helpless: "I just went to sea less than a mile ago, and I met Yang Chengying's sailor. ”

Wang Shaoxun suddenly came to his senses: "What is the sailor looking for you?" ”

"They say you're good these days...... Anfen has sent you 3,000 pieces of cloth. ”

Among the people who instigated Wang Shaoxun to attack Dachangshan Island, Duan Cheng was the most active, so he was a little embarrassed.

"I'm glad I didn't listen to you, otherwise it wouldn't be a cloth today, but a cannonball."

Wang Shaoxun was a little depressed: "This kid has a really nourishing life, and he can't make such a big deal at every turn, hey!" ”

During the Li Dynasty, Wang Shaoxun found that Yang Chengying was really generous. The soldiers under his command all ate meat and drank soup, and their armor was fine.

It was all because of guarding the water arteries leading to the Li Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom to collect tolls, and the nobles of the imperial court could not help him, so they could only obediently give money.

He's quite interesting in business, as long as he pays the toll, he basically doesn't have to be embarrassed. And send sailors to fight pirates, or do sea escorts.

So many businessmen love to go to him.

"You're envious......"

Duan Cheng saw the main general's thoughts, "Then why do you choose to refuse Li Shi's warm invitation?" ”

The Li Shi in Duan Cheng's mouth is not the historical Tang Dezong, but the deputy marshal of the Li Dynasty.

Not long ago, Li Shi sent someone to secretly contact Wang Shaoxun and asked Wang Shaoxun to send troops to support his hoeing operation.

After the deed was completed, he promised to give Wang Shaoxun 50,000 taels of silver as a thank you.

Wang Shaoxun waved his hand and said: "No, you only see the benefits, not the harms." Li Shi claims to have an army of tens of thousands, can he really look down on our crooked melons and cracked dates? ”

"Is he lying?" Duan Cheng frowned slightly.

"Lying is secondary, even if he really has tens of thousands of troops, he can't do anything."

"What do you mean by that?"

"You forgot, Yang Chengying is in Jinzhou Town. Li Chaojunchen felt that he couldn't beat him, so he would turn his head and beg him for support. This kid is greedy for money, as long as he gives him money, he will immediately lead troops to fight Li Shi. Do you think Li Shi's soldiers and horses will be his opponents? ”

"That's true."

Although Duan Cheng did not follow the expedition, he had a basic measuring stick, that is, the Houjin Army.

The Houjin army beat them like rabbits several times.

As a result, Yang Chengying went and beat Li Yongfang to the point of shrinking in Phoenix City and never showed up again.

No matter how bold Duan Cheng was, he knew that the other party was not easy to mess with.

persuaded Wang Shaoxun before, but he also felt that the main force of the sailor division was not there, and the shore was full of recruits, so he could fight and grab some food.

Wang Shaoxun didn't allow it, so he didn't persuade again.

At this time, the soldier brought in the box of cloth and placed it on the ground.

When Wang Shaoxun saw these boxes, he suddenly had a plan in his heart.

"Brother Duan, do you want to follow me to eat bran vegetables, or do you want to eat meat and drink wine!"

"Eating meat and drinking wine, of course. Hey, with whom do you eat meat and drink wine? ”

"Yang Chengying."

"That'...... I'll follow you to eat the chaff. ”

"What if I take you to Yang Chengying to eat meat and drink wine?"

"Forehead ......"

Duan Cheng hasn't turned a corner for a long time, could it be that General Wang wants to take refuge in Yang Chengying?

Is this a test for me, or is it telling the truth?

"Wherever you go, I'll follow." Duan Cheng held back for a long time and held back such a special sentence.

"Slippery head." Wang Shaoxun scolded with a smile, and then said: "Of course I didn't really take refuge in Yang Chengying, but sold Li Shi for a good price." ”

"What do you mean...... Betraying Li Chao about Li Shi contacting you? No, Li Chao doesn't seem to necessarily see you. ”

Wang Shaoxun frowned and said: "What kind of brain do you have, I mean, tell Yang Chengying the news that Li Shi is going to rebel, and get benefits from it." ”

"High, really high."

Duan Cheng gave a thumbs up.

Just do it, Wang Shaoxun hurriedly asked the concubine to bring the armor, put it on his body, and go out with Duan Cheng.

When they set off, Yang Chengying was leading the villagers up the mountain to cut down trees.

Build a house out of chopped trees.

After Ning Wan, I took the scribe to divide the land for some of the people, and inserted a wooden sign as a sign on each piece of land.

Draw a clear line between the land and try to divide the land slightly more evenly.

Of course, I mainly do it, and the rest of the work is very large, and it requires a large number of people to carry out it at the same time.

Therefore, some young people who had been studying in the school for a few days were pulled out and became land workers one by one.

They followed me and then used what they knew to divide the land.

There are people near Guifu Fort and Hongzui Fort, and they are very busy.

This is only the first stage, when the people have a place to live, and the spirit is raised.

Yang Chengying began the second phase of cash-for-work, building a wide avenue leading to the city of Jinzhou, and building several wharves to strengthen the water trade.

In the future, ginseng and deer antler velvet and other specialties can be shipped from these wharves to Tianjin, Shandong and other places.

Completely activate the economy.
