The military marriage was carried out smoothly, and the effect was even better than Li Yuanqing expected. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In a few days, Changsheng Island, which was originally dull and solidified, suddenly became much more angry.

Women have men to nourish and rely on, life has hope, and their mental state has also changed, while men have women, they also have to work hard, support their families, and earn more family business for their children and grandchildren.

With the distribution of various rewards for the Lushun Guard Battle, Qu Minqiu's long-prepared grain and rice store and grocery store also officially began to operate.

At the same time, the fields near Nanxinkou also began to be distributed to these married soldiers, so that their families would not have nothing to do.

Li Yuanqing directly handed over these affairs to Qu Minqiu, Shang Lao Liu, and Steward Ma to operate, and his main energy was put on this trip.

The three days of preparation were a bit rushed, and after five days, the affairs were roughly straightened out.

In order to go to sea this time, Li Yuanqing also made a lot of money, not only prepared two large ships in the best condition, five medium ships, nearly 500 soldiers and sailors, but also prepared 15,000 taels of silver.

On September 22, the second year of the Apocalypse, the sky was clear, and on the Nanxinkou wharf, Li Yuanqing personally bid farewell to Yang Xiaochuan and Joseph and his party.

Watching the fleet gradually disappear on the horizon, Li Yuanqing was silent for a long time.

Soon after they went to sea, they had to change their outfits, divert from Black Island, and head south.

At this point, Li Yuanqing couldn't do much for them, and could only pray for their good luck along the way.

This matter is extremely private, except for Duan Xiliang, Guan Canghai, Xu Heizi, Shang Laoliu, Liu Dadou and other senior officers, the rest of the middle-level officers are completely unaware.

The important things are done, and life is back on a peaceful track.

At this time, Li Yuanqing no longer had much silver in his hands, and how to develop financial resources became the top priority.

According to the state at this time, Changsheng Island is like a pool of stagnant water, which was secretly opened by Li Yuanqing and has begun to flow, but if it wants to really flow and become real living water, it will take a lot of capital investment and time.

In the past few days, Qu Minqiu's grain and rice stores and grocery stores have done good business.

Once these women become homeowners, the first thing they have to worry about is firewood, rice, oil and salt.

At this time, when it was not wartime, the soldiers could go home to rest after a day of drills, so their dinner was basically settled at home.

But this consumption is still too small, far from reaching the scale that Li Yuanqing wants.

This is also the disadvantage of 'blank paper', everything has to be created from scratch, and it will have to pay more energy.

Fortunately, there was no war entanglement at this time, and Li Yuanqing also had more time to force himself to be patient and go step by step.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's the beginning of October.

With everything on the right track, the reclamation of wasteland on Changsheng Island has also intensified, and Li Yuanqing has also informed Shang Lao Liu and Ma Steward to strive to reclaim more land before spring ploughing next year.

Always buying food, in a short period of time, just to make a living, but only self-sufficiency, at least in terms of food, this is the most important way for Changsheng Island to develop.

On the other hand, large-scale fishing has also begun to try to explore, Wang Hai is an expert in this area, and it has also saved Li Yuanqing a lot of effort.

Qu Minqiu, on her part, also began to plan her cloth shop, medicine shop, and mule and horse shop.

Now, the reward silver distributed by Li Yuanqing to the soldiers, only through this way, can the finances of Changsheng Island gradually be recycled, so that it will not always be unable to go in and out.

In the official hall, Li Yuanqing was discussing some business affairs with Qu Minqiu and Zhang Yunniang.

Facing Qu Minqiu's first move, Zhang Yunniang was not to be outdone, she also had to participate and share her worries for her brother Yuanqing.

Qu Minqiu is very familiar with these aspects of life, and Li Yuanqing is also satisfied, but there is a key node, Li Yuanqing is very concerned, and slowly narrates and explains his thoughts to Qu Minqiu and Zhang Yunniang.

"Yuanqing, you, the bank you are talking about is actually Qianzhuang, right?" After all, Qu Minqiu was born as a big proprietor, and soon, she understood what Li Yuanqing meant.

Zhang Yunniang was still a little confused, and hurriedly looked at the two.

"That's right."

Li Yuanqing explained with a smile: "The bank is the money bank. It's just that it's more advanced than the money bank. We can use the higher interest rate to attract people's silver, and then use it to make money through other ways to operate collectively. ”

Qu Minqiu nodded, "Yuanqing, this idea is very good. Ticket numbers have always been the most profitable business. The Qu family has always wanted to get a ticket number before, but for various reasons, they have never had the opportunity to become bigger. However, in the current state of Changsheng Island, it may be difficult to get the ticket number of Qianzhuang. The main thing is that there is too little business. If we want to operate, we have to attract more businessmen here. ”

Li Yuanqing also understood that this was the key, and said with a smile: "Minqiu, don't worry." This is just one of my preliminary ideas, and the specific operation will depend on the situation. You and Yun Niang, you can refer to more things in this regard, and wait for the time to be ripe, and then we will start the official operation. Also, Yun Niang, don't always stare at your eyes, in fact, there are a lot of businesses that can be done. It's like a restaurant or a restaurant, you can make money. ”

Zhang Yunniang also reacted, her big eyes couldn't help but light up, "Brother, you mean that I can open a restaurant or something?" ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Of course, fertilizer and water don't flow into outsiders' fields." Of course, we have to do these businesses ourselves. How can it be cheaper for those outsiders in the future? ”

"Brother, then, can I open a drinking shop?" Zhang Yunniang secretly looked at Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be stunned, he couldn't imagine that Zhang Yunniang's brain turned so fast at such a young age.

If it is a liquor store, without thinking about it, Li Yuanqing can also know that it must be a profiteering business.

Is there anything more suitable for the soldiers than the physical and mental needs of the evening, the bond between their colleagues, and the friendship between them?

"You can do it." Li Yuanqing thought for a while before he said.

"Thank you, brother." Zhang Yunniang couldn't help but be overjoyed, and happily gave Li Yuanqing a fragrant kiss.

Qu Minqiu couldn't help but glance at the two of them, and she also understood that this was Li Yuanqing's way of balancing.

With the two eldest wives by his side, Li Yuanqing's mood is becoming more and more bright, if there is really no suitable candidate, it is better to determine the identities of the two as soon as possible.

There's a fire in the backyard, it's not fun.

After discussing some details, it was already noon, Zhang Yunniang ordered Xiaolian to prepare lunch, but at this time, there were soldiers outside to report that the messenger from Dongjiang had arrived.

Li Yuanqing didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly welcomed the messenger in.

With the increasing size of the Dongjiang River, the level of the messenger has also increased, and the person who came is a thousand households, and it is Zhang Pan's subordinate.

He deeply understood the relationship between Li Yuanqing and his master Zhang Pan, and did not dare to hold it up, so he hurriedly handed the letterhead to Li Yuanqing respectfully.

Li Yuanqing opened the letterhead and examined it carefully, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

Mao Wenlong explained a few things in his heart.

The reward of the imperial court has come down, Zhang Pan was promoted to general because of his contribution to guarding Lushun, and Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong were deliberately pressed by Mao Wenlong, and their ranks did not change, but they were compensated by some financial rewards.

Second, the victory of the Lushun Garrison Battle made the imperial court pay more attention to Li Yuanqing and his three southern Liaoning departments, and the imperial court may send a supervision army to the three departments in the near future.

Moreover, it is Mao Wenlong's encouragement. Let Li Yuanqing not have a psychological burden, train the troops well, consolidate the foundation of Changsheng Island, and he will compensate for these things in the war in the coming year.

Li Yuanqing personally sent the messenger to the door, sent someone to take him to rest, entertained him well, and ordered Qu Minqiu to prepare a red envelope for him, and then returned to the room.

Frankly speaking, Mao Wenlong's letter, these points, did not surprise Li Yuanqing.

But Zhang Pan's rise made Li Yuanqing feel huge pressure all of a sudden.

The Dongjiang River is powerful, and it is normal for some people in the court to find faults, but why do you want to press yourself and Chen Zhong and lift Zhang Pan up?

This will break the original delicate balance of the three parts of southern Liaoning, not to mention Li Yuanqing, even if it is Chen Zhong, I am afraid it will be difficult to accept.

With Mao Wenlong's shrewdness and wisdom, why did he do this?

Could it be that he was under some unbearable pressure and had to do it?

Li Yuanqing thought about it carefully for a long time, but he didn't find out what he was doing, and what he coveted would make Mao Wenlong feel dissatisfied?

Is this just a balance?

Unfortunately, it is just a groundless speculation, and it is difficult to have results.

Li Yuanqing also understood that under the calm surface of the Dongjiang River at this time, the undercurrent had already been turbulent.

It is necessary to have a good talk with Chen Zhong about this matter.

Zhang Pan is probably the first person to sit on the throne of the general among these old brothers besides Chen Jisheng.

Qu Minqiu also noticed the change in Li Yuanqing's expression, and said carefully: "Yuanqing, is something wrong?" ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "It's okay." It's not a war, don't worry. By the way, how is the soup? You go check it out. ”

Qu Minqiu's face flushed, she took a sip lightly, but hurriedly walked out of the door.

Liu Chunhua asked two old doctors to prescribe a lot of nourishing prescriptions for Li Yuanqing, all of which were used for aphrodisiac, and after taking it for a few days, Li Yuanqing felt that the effect was not bad, but it still took time to test how effective it was.

Looking at Qu Minqiu's slender back, Li Yuanqing's eyes narrowed slightly.

As the old saying goes, you can't just put your eggs in one basket......

…………

After lunch, and after a while of warming up with his three wives, Li Yuanqing came directly to the camp of the 1,000th Corps.

At any time, the army is the foundation of everything, and Li Yuanqing has long experienced this point.

At this time, it was the lunch break, and it was quiet in the barracks.

The soldiers were allowed to go home at night, but they had to stay in the barracks for the whole day and practice strictly.

Otherwise, if you are unqualified, you will be fined, and no one will dare to slack off.

When he came to Duan Xiliang's room, this guy was looking at the map, and when he saw Li Yuanqing coming, he hurriedly got up, "Humble Duan Xiliang, I've seen the general." ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "What? Want to fight when you have nothing to do? ”

Duan Xiliang also smiled, "General, I am thinking about how to lead my subordinates to make more achievements." ”

Li Yuanqing sat on the chair next to him with a smile, "Merit, as long as you have the ability, you can stand at any time." But first of all, you still have to make sure that you have the ability. Otherwise, it would be unwise to send the brothers to death. ”

Duan Xiliang nodded thoughtfully, "Sweat more in peacetime, and bleed less in wartime." ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, "How is it?" What's the morale of the sons and daughters lately? ”

Duan Xiliang smiled, "General, the brothers have hope, and they are all looking forward to starting the war earlier and killing more Tartars." ”

Li Yuanqing laughed, "If you want this spiritual head, if you have a goal, you will have motivation." In the afternoon, let's start early. I'll see how the sons and daughters are doing. ”

"Yes." Duan Xiliang was about to go out and gather the soldiers.

At this time, there were relatives and soldiers who came to report urgently, "General, Liaoxi is in a hurry." ”

Li Yuanqing frowned, "Take it." ”

Soon, the soldiers took the letterhead and respectfully handed it to Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing opened it and glanced at it, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, it was actually Sun Ge, who had just taken office, who wanted to see him......
