Late spring of the fifth year of the Apocalypse.

The construction of the Bengang-Jilong Port road has already begun, and using the thousands of indigenous people captured by the surrounding tribes as labor, Li Tianyang can start the construction of the road between Bengang and Jilong Harbor.

Of course, in the end, the naturalization of the road between Jilong Harbor and Bengang was very different from the road that Lu Yu and Wu Shu had explored before.

The terrain on the snow-capped mountain range is too complicated, although the straight-line distance is much closer than the detour to the coast, but with Li Tianyang's current manpower, they really don't know that they can pass in the year of the monkey.

In addition, building a road in the middle of a mountain range, with the current state of technology, is also time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it also requires walking around the mountains, and the final result is not necessarily much closer than driving around the coastline.

Of course, the most important point is that after Li Tianyang's many investigations, they finally found a suitable location on the long coastline between Bengang and the chicken coop and opened up their third stronghold.

The stronghold was located next to a large river, whose name was transliterated from the indigenous name to the Da'an River. It is only a few dozen miles to this river in the direction of Jilong Port, and there is a big river, which is also a good place for my brother to settle, but in comparison, this Da'an River is more suitable for Li Tian to raise them in terms of water flow and terrain.

The most important point is that this Da'an is not much different from Bengang and Jonlong Harbour, almost at the midpoint of their coastline, so it is very good as a transit point between the two ports.

This new stronghold is called Da'an Port, Li Tianyang will not personally develop it this time, but handed it over to Gan Dabiao, as a talent that Li Tianyang focuses on cultivating, Gan Dabiao is greedy for life and afraid of death when he fights, and he is also a little forgetful, but other aspects are enough for Li Tianyang to entrust him with such a heavy responsibility.

The position left by Gan Dabiao was taken over by Zhang Yuyan, who was transferred back from Yuegang, and as for the position of the shopkeeper of Yuegang, he was lost by Li Tianyang to Guan Juxiong, who had been idle by Li Tianyang for several years.

In the past two years, Zhang Yuyan has been working diligently in Yuegang for the rest of the year, except for the year-end debriefing and festivals, and he has been conscientiously doing his position as the shopkeeper of Yuegang Qixintang in Yuegang. Although he does not have Gan Dabiao's clever mouth and exquisite on all sides, Zhang Yuyan remembers the word integrity, and still expands a lot on the basis of Gan Dabiao's original semicolon territory.

What he is most proud of is that he has extended the tentacles of Qixintang to Fujian, to Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province and Suzhou, which is next to Hangzhou.

Of course, on the surface, Zhang Yuyan is an honest and trustworthy businessman, but behind the scenes, he is the head of the Eagle Guard of the Bengang team who is in charge of the intelligence collection system of the Ming Dynasty, and in terms of rank, it is equivalent to Wu Daofu's position as the head of their regiment.

has the intelligence shelf established by Gan Dabiao before, and in the past few years, while recruiting displaced people through Qi San, he has scattered the intelligence personnel cultivated in Bengang and Jilong Port to the coastal areas where Qi San has recruited and stayed; On the one hand, he opened shops and inns in the large and small towns adjacent to Yuegang through the name of Qixintang Firm, and installed people in the name of men and shopkeepers.

It's just that the economy of the Bengang team has not been rich before, so Zhang Yuyan can only expand his territory through the silver money earned by the Yuegang Qixintang branch for a year, so the development speed is still a little slow. However, as the Hongtang team pulled a lot of wool from the Ryukyu Kingdom and the Dutch, and made a lot of money, Li Tianyang, who had surplus money in his hand, did not forget about Zhang Yuyan's side in Yuegang, so after Zhang Yuyan received a large amount of financial support, the expansion of the last year was particularly obvious, which was comparable to the development results of the previous years.

The initial construction of the intelligence system, at the same time, also allowed Li Tianyang to obtain the intelligence channels in the interior of the Ming Dynasty, no longer limited to gossip, Cao Yongyi is equal to the close relationship of the team of bureaucrats to know, they can also pass more information to the chicken coop port *** Li Tianyang for their reference, such as the fourth year of the Apocalypse After Wei Zhongxian took the throne, he greatly expanded his strength, and the Donglin Party was in full swing in the court, and there was a great momentum to drive the Donglin Party out of the court in one fell swoop.

For Zhang Yuyan's contributions, Li Tianyang is deeply grateful, in addition to Gan Dabiao and Wu Jie, Zhang Yuyan is also improving, so Li Tianyang began to prepare to ponder this beautiful jade and let him pick a heavier burden.

Although the world is vast and there is a lot to be done on the Yuegang side, compared to Li Tianyang's idea of being a soil emperor according to Dayuan at this time, it is not more important than transferring back to Dayuan Island to work.

In this regard, Zhang Yuyan is happy to see it, he has followed Li Tianyang for many years, of course, he can know Li Tianyang's plans for the next few years or ten years, although they are more free in Yuegang, and their rights and responsibilities are heavier, but Jilong Port has more development prospects. Now that Gan Dabiao can control the land alone, Zhang Yuyan, who thinks that he is no worse than Gan Dabiao, is naturally also pursuing this goal.

What's more, Zhang Yuyan was about to run for thirty, not long after Li Tianyang got married, under the arrangement of his father, he married a girl born and raised in Tanmen, and now he is the father of three children.

With the development of Li De and his family, most of Zhang Yuyan's relatives moved to live in Bengang because of Zhang Yuyan's status in the Bengang team, and even the woman's relatives also came. It's just that because of Bengang's foreign affairs personnel system, Zhang Yuyan has mostly lived separately from his daughter-in-law over the years, and even his children can't see each other a few times a year, so this callback to Jilonggang can also allow him to reunite with his family and share the joy of family.

And this time Zhang Yuyan came back, just in time for the construction of Jilong Harbor to Bengang a total of five or six hundred miles long giant siege city, although the ability honed in Yuegang over the years is not close to the same way of working today, but he is smart by nature and quickly got up to work, and the entire preliminary preparatory work is going very smoothly.

At today's groundbreaking ceremony, even Li Tianyang did not find any flaws, and praised Zhang Yuyan very much for his work ability and affirmation. It can be regarded as allowing Li Tianyang to witness Zhang Yuyan's ability again after so many years.

Yuegang is too far away, although there are specific data reports every year, but how can the cold numbers be more convincing with actual actions!

After verifying Zhang Yuyan's ability, Li Tianyang threw away the entire road project to Zhang Yuyan, and at the same time, there were Jilonggang Qixintang and the government to be diligent and miscellaneous affairs.
