The banquet lasted until most of the night, until Zheng Zhihu couldn't hold back anymore and fell asleep on the table, which came to an end. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Shen Jin hurriedly ordered a few servants to carry Zheng Zhihu, who was drunk like a dead pig, to the guest room next door to rest, and he came to Li Yuanqing respectfully, and asked carefully: "Big brother, little brother will send you back to rest?" ”

Tonight, Zheng Zhihu's 'offensive' is extremely fierce, which really fits his name as 'tiger'.

First he used the Japanese sake he brought, then changed it to the local cellar of Denglai, and finally, it was changed to the high-purity old cellar of southern Liaoning.

Li Yuanqing estimated that each of the two had to drink at least five or six catties.

According to the algorithm of later generations, the two of them drank more than a dozen bottles of beer first, drank about a pound of low-alcohol liquor, and finally, they used half a catty of high-alcohol wine to 'moisten their throats'.

It's just that the gentle sea breeze in the south and the soft words of the beauties obviously can't be compared with the cold north wind and the beastly roar of the men.

Although Li Yuanqing was also seven or eight points drunk, his mind was still clear, he smiled and nodded, and did not refuse Shen Jin's request.

Shen Jin couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly waited for Li Yuanqing and came to the carriage outside the courtyard.

Tonight, Shen Jin is obviously not the protagonist, he has been in charge of serving tea and pouring water, Zheng Zhihu didn't understand it at first, and he gave in again and again, but later, seeing that Li Yuanqing was at ease, he came back to his senses and gladly accepted Shen Jin's service.

Shen Jin's house was very close to Shen's mansion, about two miles away, and soon, the carriage stopped outside the mansion gate.

Shen Jin was like Li Yuanqing's personal soldiers, and hurriedly helped Li Yuanqing lift the curtain of the carriage.

Niu Gensheng's movements were originally about as fast as Shen Jin, but seeing that Shen Jin had already come up, Niu Gensheng did not fight with him and gave him this opportunity.

Shen Jin also glanced at Niu Gensheng gratefully.

Although it was the beginning of April, it had already entered spring, but the sea breeze in Dengzhou was still very cold.

Li Yuanqing strode off the carriage, and was blown by the wet and cold sea breeze, and his mind suddenly became a lot clearer.

He stepped forward and walked a few steps, and was about to reach the gate of the mansion, when he suddenly turned around and smiled at Shen Jin: "Brother Shen, come and blow the wind with me." ”

Shen Jin was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but be overjoyed for a moment, hurriedly walked in front of Li Yuanqing, and said respectfully: "Big brother, it's windy at night, you must be careful not to catch a cold." ”

Beside him, Niu Gensheng and his soldiers also knew that Li Yuanqing and Shen Jin had something to talk about, so they were busy fanning around, leaving space for Li Yuanqing and Shen Jin, but at the same time firmly guarding the safety of the two.

Standing on the steps at the entrance of the house, the field of vision suddenly widened a lot, but the wind was even stronger.

Li Yuanqing glanced at Shen Jin with a smile, "Brother Shen, spring is coming." ”

Shen Jin didn't understand what Li Yuanqing meant for a while, nodded with a busy smile, and respectfully waited for Li Yuanqing's next words.

Li Yuanqing smiled and looked at Shen Jin with a smile.

Shen Jin's divine form was even more respectful, and he lowered his head slightly respectfully, not daring to face Li Yuanqing's gaze.

Li Yuanqing smiled slowly, after several years of training, coupled with Shen Yourong's serious illness, Shen Jin has indeed matured a lot.

For Li Yuanqing, this is far from enough, but overall, it is a good start.

After being silent for a long time, seeing that the fire was almost over, Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "Brother Shen, what are your plans for the next step?" ”

Shen Jin didn't expect Li Yuanqing to throw out the topic so directly, and he didn't come back to his senses for a while, and after a while, he said: "Big brother, to be honest, little brother, little brother is already a little panicked." The little brother doesn't know, what will the little brother do in the future? Please also ask the eldest brother to guide the younger brother. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Brother Shen, you don't have to be presumptuous, you are doing a good job in the salt farm." ”

Being able to get Li Yuanqing's personal praise, Shen Jin was relieved for a while, but for a moment, he was a little depressed, "Big brother, although my father is very sure of taking up the post, it's just that in the future, the younger brother still doesn't have much confidence in this aspect." ”

Li Yuanqing nodded slightly, and slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity.

As the saying goes, 'once a son of heaven is a courtier'.

Shen Shouchong's attack on Shen Yourong's position as the commander of Denglai should not be too much of a problem.

After all, this is the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also a inheritance.

According to Shen Yourong's qualifications, even the little emperor of the Apocalypse must not give him this face.

It's just that with Shen Shouchong's ability, he obviously can't be as comfortable as Shen Yourong, who has Yuan Keli's support.

Shen Jin could see this, to a large extent, it had proved that he had been promoted to a qualified man, he did not want to give up the interests he had at this time, and was willing to pay for it, and even fight for it.

It's a pity that the general trend is here, and the castration of the Shen family in Denglai is only a matter of time, that is, Li Yuanqing, and in this regard, it is impossible to give the Shen family too much support.

Denglai's Tan Shui, Li Yuanqing is not too deep at this time.

"Brother Shen, if you want, perhaps, you can come to the Immortal Camp to serve." Li Yuanqing suddenly laughed.

Shen Jin was stunned for a moment, but he was busy for a moment: "Thank you for the love of the eldest brother, the younger brother is really flattered." If you can join the immortal camp and follow the eldest brother to make meritorious achievements, the younger brother will be content. Just ......"

Although Shen Jin didn't finish speaking, how could Li Yuanqing not understand what he meant?

How can a son-in-law like him easily give up his current family business? All this he has paid is just to protect his inherent interests.

Li Yuanqing smiled and nodded, "Brother Shen, when do you want to come to the Immortal Camp, the door of the Immortal Camp has always been open for you." At this time, although Denglai's affairs cannot be done, it may not be without room for maneuver. ”

Hearing that Li Yuanqing suddenly changed his tone, Shen Jin couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly looked into Li Yuanqing's eyes, wanting to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.

Li Yuanqing no longer concealed it, and said bluntly: "After Lord Futai castrates, if we want to keep the salt field in Denglai, we will have to spend a lot of effort. At this point, this is unwise. However, how can a living person suffocate urine? Even if we can't keep the salt works in Denglai, we can forge ahead overseas. It may not be less than the current income. ”

Saying that, Li Yuanqing smiled, "I want the north and south of Chenghuang Island!" ”

Shen Jin was stunned for a moment, and after a moment, he understood what Li Yuanqing meant, and couldn't help but open his mouth wide......

…………

Seeing Shen Jin away, Li Yuanqing slowly came to the small garden in the mansion, and most of the wine had dissipated.

Although Shen Jin's talent is not outstanding, to a large extent, he is also shackled by his own ability and the limitations of the times, but he is also a person who understands, and more importantly, he has an advantage that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve at this time.

Although Yuan Keli and Shen Yourong are about to castrate, they haven't castrated at this time.

Especially in the military.

Shen Jin was a hundred households at this time, and Shen Yourong went to work and promoted him to the next level, which is also a practice of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also a inheritance.

He will rise to a thousand households, and there will not be too many obstacles.

In addition, his father Shen Shouchong will be the commander of Denglai, so ~~, there is no problem with dividing his governance on Chenghuang Island in the south and north.

The north and south Chenghuang Island is located in the heart of the mouth of the Bohai Bay, and is the throat of the Bohai Bay by sea route.

At this time, although its position is not as important as that of later generations, Li Yuanqing deeply understands that if he can occupy the north and south Chenghuang Island, whether it is attacking, retreating, or defending, he will have more room for maneuver, and Changsheng Island will also have a broader space in depth.

In fact, geographically speaking, Chenghuang Island in the north and south is closer to southern Liaoning, but because this area is south, the island group is continuous, extending to the hinterland of Dengzhou, so it is under the rule of Denglai.

In the past few years, Yuan Keli has been sending a lot of garrisons to Chenghuang Island in the north and south, in order to be able to plot southern Liaoning by sea.

However, due to various reasons, this goal has never been achieved until he is about to leave office.

Mao Wenlong has actually coveted these small islands for a long time, but his relationship with Denglai is like a needle to Maimang, which is obviously difficult to achieve.

At this time, including later, even if the new governor takes office, Yuan Keli's previous strategy for Liao should not change too much in a short period of time.

Even if the new governor is just putting on a show, he has to let the emperor and the court see that he has troops in the area of Chenghuang Island in the north and south, and he is ready to counterattack Liaodi at any time.

This time, Shen Jin will be able to stabilize for at least a few years.

On the bright side, although Li Yuanqing only said to Shen Jin, 'He only needs the north and south Chenghuang Island', but as long as Shen Jin's salt works are opened and put into operation on the north and south Chenghuang Island, how can he give up other big islands like Daqin Island and Huangcheng Island in the surrounding area?

It's all white money.

In this way, with Shen Jin's salt dices going first, Li Yuanqing 'mixing sand' in this regard, there is no slightest obstacle.

On the bright side, Li Yuanqing would never dare to risk the court's brazenness and openly snatch Denglai's territory, but this did not prevent him from making a move in private.

As for the Zheng family.

Li Yuanqing suddenly smiled faintly.

It is said that the origin of the name Zheng Zhihu is because his cry when he was a child was very similar to that of a tiger cub.

And through tonight's drink, Li Yuanqing also understood his temperament a little.

To put it simply and crudely, this guy is used to being a pirate leader, and his domineering temperament has almost penetrated into his bone marrow, even if he wants to wash his white and hide it well, but the things in his bones, under certain circumstances, still can't be hidden.

However, at this time, the Zheng family had become a real leader in Fujian, including the entire southern Ming Dynasty, and although their interests conflicted with Li Yuanqing, they also had the possibility of cooperation.

Specifically, it depends on the next operation.

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but think of the master of the Zheng family---- the famous Zheng Yiguan.

It can be said that in the era of the end of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Yiguan and his Zheng family had the best deck of cards in China, but if Zheng Yiguan had even a trace of aggressiveness, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was difficult to be his opponent, basically with strong ships and cannons, with fire ~ weapon era, crushing the Manchu Qing Dynasty's cold ~ soldier ~ weapon dynasty.

It's a pity that this master's temperament is really ~~, which is really indescribable.

And his beloved son--- a famous national hero and national surname in later generations, although he is ambitious, but unfortunately, whether it is scheming or means, compared with his father, it is too far behind.

That's really ......

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

However, at this time, Zheng Yiguan's temperament is a great good thing for Li Yuanqing.

With his sneakiness, he just wanted to lean on the court, find a glamorous official and a half-job, and enjoy the temperament of the second half of his life, how could he dare to easily get along with Li Yuanqing, who is in the middle of the day?

It is not too difficult for Changsheng Island to open a trade route for cooperation with the Zheng family.
