Li Yuanqing smiled: "You can tell the general the truth, so that the general will not be deceived, and taking this detour is already a great achievement!" This money is the reward that will be given to you. Take it! For those who are new to this new place, there must be a lot of places to spend. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"General, you, you are really ......"

Rao is Zhou Chuanhai is already a lot old, but at this time, he can't control it anymore, and the old tears can't stop dripping down.

The surrounding shipwrights were also dumbfounded, they didn't expect Li Yuanqing to really do what he said, this is really ......

They regretted dying, why were they afraid of taking responsibility before, and didn't dare to come out and explain directly to the general?

Holding the heavy silver in his hand and feeling the wonderful feel of the fine official silver, Zhou Chuanhai also came back to his senses at this time and said busily: "General, if you want to build a good ship in a short time, in fact, there is no other way. ”

"Oh?"

Li Yuanqing's eyes couldn't help narrowing slightly, "Old Man Zhou, Yuanqing would like to hear about it." ”

Old Man Zhou hurriedly wiped away a handful of tears and said with a smile: "General, it's actually very simple, let's take the silver and buy the keel that has been dried." ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly explained: "General, in the past few years, there has not been much work in several shipyards in Daming. Tianjin, Denglai, several shipyards, there are a lot of good keel timber left. As long as we can take some, the old man can guarantee with his life that he will definitely build a good ship for you, the general! ”

Li Yuanqing nodded slowly.

That's a good doorway.

On the Tianjin side, let's not talk about it for the time being, in terms of Denglai, even if Yuan Keli has gone to the position, but Shen Yourong is still there, the influence of the Shen family is still there, and with the help of Shen Jin, Li Yuanqing spent money to buy it, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

After all, in this world, who can't get along with silver?

After a moment, Li Yuanqing smiled: "Old man Zhou, this method is also a good way." Within three or two days, Ben will give you an accurate reply. However, at this time, there will be one more important thing for you to do......"

…………

Leaving the shipwrights' camp, it was already dark.

Li Yuanqing originally wanted to have a meal with them and continue to deepen their relationship, but news came from the soldiers that Chen Zhong had come over and had already gone ashore.

As Li Yuanqing's closest brother, Chen Zhong came over, Li Yuanqing couldn't be lazy, it happened to be very close to the dock, and he was busy going to greet him in person.

Not long after, Chen Zhong's most familiar smiling face appeared in front of Li Yuanqing's eyes again.

This guy seemed to be a little more blessed than before, his face was a little bigger, and he laughed and came up and gave Li Yuanqing an eager hug.

After a few pleasantries, the two rode back to the official hall side by side.

Back in the official hall, the guests sat down, and told Xiaohe to prepare a banquet, Xiaolian personally made tea for the two of them here, Li Yuanqing smiled and said: "Big brother, why did you come here at this time?" Notify me in advance? Is it going to be a surprise attack? ”

Chen Zhong smiled: "Yuan Qing, it's not a sudden attack. My brother came this time, and he really had a few urgent matters. ”

Chen Zhong said, busy with the intention of Li Yuanqing to briefly recount.

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

Chen Zhong came over this time for three main things.

The first is the sowing of sweet potatoes during spring ploughing, which requires Changsheng Island to send people over for guidance.

In addition, it is a series of armament supplements such as bird guns, buckshots, hand ~ grenade ~ bombs, explosive packs and so on in the Arsenal of the Changsheng Battalion.

Third, and most importantly, Chen Zhong also knew the news of Yang Xiaochuan's triumphant return.

"Hey, hey. Yuanqing, since Haimao can make so much money, what are we hesitating about? Directly form a fleet and run a few times to the South Seas, so you can't make a lot of money? ”

Looking at Chen Zhong's excited appearance, Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile and shook his head: "Big brother, things are easy to say, but they are far from being so simple to do!" The waterway is true for everyone, but in the south, I am afraid there are still many variables. I am also about to consult with you on this matter. Big brother, it's mid-February, early March or mid-March, and I want to go to Nanyang in person. ”

"Huh?"

Chen Zhong couldn't help but be stunned: "Yuanqing, this ...... How long will it take to go to Nanyang once? ”

Li Yuanqing smiled: "If it's short, it's half a year, and it's long~~~, I'm afraid it will take a year or two." ”

"This ......"

Chen Zhong couldn't help but be silent for a while.

After a while, he hurriedly said: "Yuanqing, can't you let the people below go about this matter?" I think, Yang Xiaochuan, this kid, is very reliable! If you leave Liaonan, this~~, the brothers will have no backbone! ”

"Huh. Big brother, in fact, there is no need to worry too much about this matter. By the way, there is an important news, do you know here? ”

"What's the news?" Chen Zhong hurriedly looked at Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing patted his head and said busily: "It's my fault for this." I came back with a lot of things, and I almost forgot the news. Big brother~~, in this battle of Ningyuan, the old slave was very angry, as if he had committed some hidden illness and was already unconscious. ”

"What?"

Chen Zhong's face couldn't help but change greatly, he never expected that there would be such a big change in the battle of Ningyuan this time.

Due to the limitations of the times, the way to maintain news communication between the imperial court and the local government is generally to rely on the Di Bao, or directly the urgent dispatch of the imperial court.

However, due to the limitations of material, manpower, and financial resources, in addition to extremely critical information, there will be some delays in general reports.

A more direct explanation, for example, Liaoxi's report to the Beijing division is 800 miles expedited, and the Beijing division's reply to Liaoxi is also 800 miles expedited, but these good news are transmitted to all places, and the degree of urgency will be weakened, generally first transmitted to the big cities and political centers, and then, from this kind of big cities, to the bottom line.

At this time, it was the end of winter, and there were thousands of miles of Liaohai barrier, Chen Zhong did not have the corresponding manpower and institutions in this regard, so it was naturally late to get the news.

"Yuanqing, this is a great thing! If the old slave dies, the Tartars will surely fall into civil strife, and it is time for us to continue to expand the results of the war! Why are you going out at this time? ”

Chen Zhong looked at Li Yuanqing with some confusion.

Li Yuanqing smiled: "Big brother, originally, I was also thinking like this. But on this trip to Liaoxi, I always have some bad premonitions in this regard. ”

"Huh?"

Chen Zhong couldn't help but be stunned, and after a moment, he also reacted, and said in a low voice: "Yuan Qing, but Lord Yuan is ...... there."

Li Yuanqing nodded slowly: "Big brother, although the tartar is weak at this time, it is far from what we can eat." Instead of doing this unpleasant and unflattering thing, how can the brothers really make some money? Improving the lives of our brethren? ”

"This ......"

Chen Zhong's brows couldn't help frowning, and he thought for a moment before saying, "Yuanqing, I'm stupid, I really can't understand this kind of thing." Since you want to do it, then I will definitely support you. It's a pity that we can't go together! ”

The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

…………

After drinking with Chen Zhong and arranging for him to rest, it was already late at night.

Back in the backyard, Zhang Yunniang and Qu Minqiu personally served them, and they comfortably ran for a hot bath, and the tiredness on Li Yuanqing's body also dissipated a lot.

It's still the old saying, "Rice must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be taken step by step." ”

Great oaks from little acorns grow.!

At this time, Changsheng Island had the financial, material, and human resources to open a shipyard, but Li Yuanqing also knew very well that the warships of the Ming Dynasty, whether in terms of design or firepower, had long been unable to keep up with the trend of the times.

Especially in the smelting of steel, even if there is an accumulation of financial and material resources, Changsheng Island is not able to build qualified artillery at this time, let alone ship-based artillery.

As a result, even if a lot of warships are built, but they are born with design defects and cannot be equipped with firepower, it is just a waste of resources and useless work.

Therefore, for Zhou Chuanhai and other shipwrights, Li Yuanqing's first requirement for them now is to maintain and repair the ship.

To put it bluntly, if you want to build a car, you have to learn to repair the car first, understand the structure, take other people's advanced and mature technology, digest it and then use it on your own body, so as to minimize detours.

Fortunately, at this time, it is only the sixth year of the Apocalypse, only the beginning of the seventeenth century, even if the Ming Dynasty is lagging behind, but it is not too far behind, and everyone is barely on the same starting line.

As the old saying goes, 'After planting the plane tree, are you afraid that you won't be able to attract the golden phoenix'?

As long as the conditions of Changsheng Island itself are excellent, thick and thin, when it really breaks out, it will naturally have enough spare strength!

"What do you think? So fascinating? Is there a little girl you have a crush on again? Come out and I'll dry you out. ”

Seeing that Li Yuanqing was sitting in the big bathtub in a daze, Zhang Yunniang went to the side to get Li Yuanqing's clothes, and Qu Minqiu hurriedly whispered a few words in Li Yuanqing's ear.

"Huh?"

Li Yuanqing was stunned for a moment, then turned around, looked at Qu Minqiu's charming face, and couldn't help but whisper: "Minqiu, is your master so unbearable?" With such a delicate beauty as you and Yun Niang, I still think about others? ”

"Phew."

Qu Minqiu took a sip gently, but a delicate flush couldn't help but appear on her pretty face, although Li Yuanqing's words seemed to be extremely vulgar, but she listened to it in her heart, but she couldn't say the sweetness, but she said: "Hurry up, wait for Yun Niang to come over and laugh at me again." ”

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile: "Wait a minute, go to bed, don't laugh at anyone between the two of you!" ”

…………

At noon the next day, Chen Zhong hurriedly left Changsheng Island and returned to Guanglu Island.

If Li Yuanqing wants to go to sea, the strategic layout of southern Liaoning will inevitably change, and the burden on his shoulders will be greater, and he must also go back in advance to plan the layout.

And because of the presence of the Liaoning South Chamber of Commerce, whether it is Yang Xiaochuan's income from going to sea this time, or Li Yuanqing's income from going to sea, his share is indispensable.

Liaonan can have today, it is completely the two brothers, with a group of old brothers below, pinning their heads to the waistband of their trousers, fighting with knives and guns, how dare he slack off half a point?

On the dock side, Li Yuanqing had just sent Chen Zhong away, and news came from a clipper in front of him that Yang Xiaochuan's fleet had entered the West Island area and would soon arrive at Changsheng Island!
