Chapter 637 (2/2)

Shang Laoliu sat down with a smile, ”Yuanqing, you can't blame me and Lao Ma for this! Since you came back at noon, Ma and I have been waiting. But it's only now that we've got the Kung Fu, isn't it? ”

Housekeeper Ma also said with a smile, ”general, you must take good care of yourself! With you here, the people on our island will have hope

Li Yuanqing laughed, ”they are all from our own family, so we don't have to be so polite. Yun Niang, give tea to the two stewards. ”

”Well.” With a smile, Zhang yunniang herself brought tea to the old merchant and the housekeeper ma.

Both of them were flattered. They were busy and respectful.

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: ”brother Shang, housekeeper Ma, how is the situation on the Island recently?”

Shang Laoliu sipped a sip of tea and said with a smile, ”Yuanqing, all the affairs on the island have been stable in recent years. Most importantly, there are two things. The first is that spring will soon begin, and this year's spring ploughing will begin soon. This is all in the charge of Lao ma. I'll let him report it later. These two things are that the fleet of Yang boat has almost arrived at PiDao. In a few days, it should be able to reach the island. Yuanqing, Yang Xiaobo, this time, we've been pleasantly surprised

”Oh?”

Li Yuanqing a smile, light drink a mouthful of wine: ”this boy made a fortune?”

Mr. Shang laughed straight, but his eyes were full of excitement: ”Yuanqing, Yang Xiaochuan, who brought back more than one million and two silver coins this time! With this money, we will have a lot of business this year, but we don't have to live with our fingers on our hands any more. ”

Housekeeper Ma also said with a smile: ”general, in the past, every family was reluctant to talk about the sea trade, but this time, they haven't come back, and the big families of these luxury houses on the island can't sit still. I estimate that the general will be blocked in the door early tomorrow morning. ”

Li Yuanqing is also a bit strange.

With historical experience, he knew for a long time that maritime trade was definitely the most profitable and violent business in the world at this time, and even there was no one of them.

However, Li Yuanqing did not expect that Yang Xiaobo had made so much money in more than one year. This is really

”Hehe. Not bad. This kid, I'm not disappointed. Wait for him to come back and reward him with several jars of good wine

Li Yuanqing burst out laughing, ”by the way, does this guy have a message coming? When can I come back? ”

Shang Laoliu said with a smile: ”it's probably in these three or two days! By the way, Yuanqing, there is another thing that I almost forgot. This brain

With that, Shang Laoliu took out a battle report from his arms and handed it to Li Yuanqing. ”Yuanqing, this is the battle report just sent by PiDao this afternoon. Marshal Mao's offensive in Liaodong at the beginning of the year was not bad.”

Li Yuanqing put down the chopsticks in his hand, unfolded the war report, and read it carefully. For a moment, his brow was not help wrinkling.

There was not much difference with the previous plan. When the main force of the later Jin army went straight to western Liaoning, Mao Wenlong also sent troops from PiDao and entered Kuandian again to insert into the hinterland of Laozhai.

Different from history, with Li Yuanqing's strong firearm support and the experience of last year, Mao Wenlong almost broke through the tartar defense line around Kuandian this year.

However, the army of the later Jin Dynasty was well prepared, leaving more than ten thousand elite soldiers in the old village. Mao Wenlong besieged the old village for seven or eight days and lost three or four thousand people, but he was not allowed to leave.

At this time, the army of the Late Jin Dynasty in western Liaoning Province had already withdrawn. Even though Mao Wenlong was unwilling, he could only take a step back temporarily, ending the offensive at the beginning of this year and returning to PiDao.

Although Mao Wenlong's war report was very happy, it was revealed between the lines that he was very dissatisfied with the offensive and was not reconciled. At the end, he also prompted Li Yuanqing that he hoped to launch a larger scale offensive this year to win the old village and even surround Shenyang.

For Mao Wenlong's suggestion, Li Yuanqing is really some, some uncomfortable

To some extent, Li Yuanqing is eager to turn it into a reality and completely end the disaster of Houjin. However, in terms of specific actions, Li Yuanqing knows that even if there will be a lot of gains in this battle, it is still unrealistic to uproot Houjin.

However, since Mao Wenlong put forward the matter, Li Yuanqing flatly refused, but it is difficult to do so.

After a while, Li Yuanqing slowly vomited out his turbid breath. It seems that before going to sea, he must go to PiDao in person and have a good talk with Mao Wenlong!

Looking at Li Yuanqing's silence for a long time, Shang Laoliu and Ma housekeeper did not dare to talk much. They sat on the side respectfully, waiting for Li Yuanqing's consideration.

For a moment, Li Yuanqing suddenly laughed: ”it's really admirable that marshal Mao has such ambition! Brother Shang, you will reply to PiDao tonight. In the near future, if Mao Shuai is free, I will go to PiDao in person and meet Mao Shuai. ”

Shang Laoliu nodded quickly and wrote down the matter.

”Yes.”

Li Yuanqing added: ”brother Shang, housekeeper Ma, you must not neglect the boatman and boatman who come to the island this time. Well First put them in the idle barracks of the 1000 th Corps. They can choose some good land near the wharf to build their houses. Well, you can do it now. We can ask them in detail about their wishes. As long as they are about the same, we will try our best to satisfy them. ”Although Shang Laoliu didn't understand the details, Li Yuanqing had to nod his head in a hurry, thinking that he should explore these things in detail as soon as possible.

Li Yuanqing also inquired about the government affairs he was concerned about, such as the development of West Island and central island, the casualties of slaves, and the construction and production of weapons workshops.

Both Shang Laoliu and Ma housekeeper explained Li Yuanqing one by one.

Shang Laoliu soon left to work with the boatman, while Ma housekeeper stayed and reported to Li Yuanqing in detail about his preparations for spring ploughing this year.

Due to the bumper harvest of sweet potato last year, this year, not only Changsheng Island, including Guanglu Island, PiDao Island, and the surrounding areas, but also the fields under the control of the three departments should promote the cultivation of sweet potato on a large scale. Changsheng island is responsible for the promotion of technology and follow-up support. This series of tedious and heavy and complex affairs, Ma housekeeper has a lot of pressure.

Until everything was discussed and steward Ma left, Zhang yunniang and Qu Minqiu had already fallen asleep on the side of the soft collapse.

The maids had already been sent away, and there were only three left in the room.

Looking at the two girls charming but some tired pretty face, Li Yuanqing 's heart also some heartache.

Men are in charge of the outside and women are in charge of the interior.

In the eyes of outsiders, the two women, as Li Yuanqing's genuine wife, are naturally superior. But who knows how much pressure they have to bear in order to help Li Yuanqing's great cause?

Just about to take the two girls to the inner study for a rest, but at this time, Li Yuanqing suddenly thought of a good idea. For a moment, he laughed and crept towards Zhang yunniang
