Capital Datang

A few days later, Cheng Huailiang and his crew bid farewell to Li Keyi at the Shanghai Wharf, and then boarded the steamboat again to head south.And after arriving in Taiwan, Li Yin was naturally overjoyed, and also set up a banquet in the mansion, and Cheng Huailiang and the others would never return drunk.

At the banquet, Li Yin talked to Cheng Huailiang about the development of Taiwan and other regions in recent years, as well as some political and military situations. , especially the real situation of the first battle against Xue Yantuo, which also opened Li Yin's eyes.

Next, Li Yin arranged for Cheng Huailiang and the others to visit various places in Taiwan, especially the garrisons and navies, which were the focus of their visit, because Li Yin wanted them to understand the situation of Taiwan's military and political system before making their own choices. .As for Gao Yang and Qing He's female relatives, Wen Xin and the others helped entertain them.

It is also worth mentioning that Chou Chou and Mo Qing, who is younger than her, hit it off immediately. The two were cousins, and now I have an even better relationship. I often go together to bully Li Qi, Li Mian and others. The appearance of the eldest sister's head makes Li Yin sometimes worry that the two of them will not be able to marry when they grow up.

After a period of understanding, Cheng Huailiang and the others finally made their own choices, because they all came out of the military academy, so everyone still chose to join the army, among them Cheng Huailiang, Qin Huaiyu, Fang Yiai and others They all choose to directly enter the army, and their positions are temporarily designated as school lieutenants. After all, they are all graduates of the Chang'an Military Academy and have military experience. This kind of talent is really in short supply under Li Yin.Capital Datang 614

In addition, Li Yexu and a few guys who like to challenge themselves choose to enter the navy.Of course, you must enter the Naval Academy in Taiwan to study in advance, and then enter the Navy to start from scratch.Although they will suffer some hardships at the beginning, the future development prospects are very good.After all, in comparison, the status of the navy in Li Yin's hands is indeed higher than that of the army, and it is also more respected by the people.

However, whether it is the navy or the army, with the addition of Cheng Huailiang and others, the strength of the army in Li Yin's hands will undoubtedly rise to a higher level. After all, there were too few generals who could stand alone in the past. Within, I'm afraid there won't be any special talents.Cheng Huailiang and the others can just fill this gap, and there may even be handsome talents like Li Jing and Li Xiaogong among them.

A few days later, Cheng Huailiang and the others took office one after another, and most of their family members followed. After all, there is no big battle for the time being, and the troops in various places are stationed regularly. They arrange a special officer's residence, and the officers usually live there.Unless there is a war, there will be a transfer order to transfer them to the war. Usually it is military training.

However, some female family members did not leave with their husbands, but chose to make their homes in Keelung.Firstly, Keelung is more prosperous, and secondly, their children are all grown up, so education in Keelung is obviously better than other places.There is also a wider range of communication, so the husband and wife have to separate.

Qinghe and Gao Yang also stayed in Keelung.Firstly, they came for their children, and secondly, they hadn't seen Li Yin for many years.So apart from other things, Li Yin would not let them go so easily. After all, he is also Qinghe and Gao Yang's older brother. Come to Taiwan and leave?

After sending Cheng Huailiang and the others away, Qinghe and Gao Yang often went to Li Yin's house. Now it's early winter. Although Taiwan's winter is not very cold, it is still a bit cold in the morning and evening. If you are not careful, you may catch a cold, especially This year, there is a lot of rain. Even though it is so cold, it still rains frequently. This kind of wet and cold weather makes people feel tormented.

But this torture has finally passed. Since yesterday afternoon, the gloomy clouds in the sky have finally dissipated, and the sun has reappeared. After half a day of sunshine, the next day, there is less water on the ground. A lot, and there is a fresh smell after the rain in the air.

It is rare to encounter such good weather, and today is another ten days, Chou Chou and the others don’t have to go to school, and even Li Yin is rarely free at home, so in the end Wenxin sent Qinghe, Gaoyang, and their children Several children were invited here, among them, Qinghe had a daughter and two sons, Mo Qing was the eldest daughter, and Gao Yang had only one son, but she was just diagnosed as pregnant two months ago, and it has been four months now Yes, the lower abdomen is already swollen, this is one of the reasons why Gao Yang did not leave with Fang Yiai.

The reason why Li Yin is free to stay at home is mainly because the plague in Java has been brought under control. Yifan, Wang An and others are responsible for the promotion of steamships, so he doesn't have to worry about it at all. As for the Americas, with the second With the development of new shipping routes, more and more people have gone there to search for treasures, and some people have even brought back a lot of gold. In addition to Luwan Port in America, there are several other ports under construction. It can be said that they must be in On the bright side.

But now is not the time to develop the Americas on a large scale. First, Nanyang is still developing at a high speed. Second, the number of Han people in Taiwan is still too small, which is not enough to support the huge population demand of the development of the Americas.But it is precisely because of this that Li Yin put this matter aside for the time being, and at the same time has time to spend with his family.

The two children, Chou Chou and Mo Qing, insisted on arguing to go to the zoo to play. This zoo was funded and established by Li Yin privately, and it kept various animals brought from Datang, Nanyang, Australia and other places.Especially some time ago, a new batch of very novel animals was brought in from the Americas. Chou Chou and the others hadn't seen them yet, so they took advantage of the good weather to clamor to go.

Naturally, Li Yin would not refuse the children's request, but because Gao Yang was pregnant, Wen Xin and Qinghe stayed to chat with her, and Li Yin took a group of children to the zoo by himself.

The zoo was built on the eastern outskirts of Keelung City. It covers a large area. It is divided into several areas according to the different regions announced by the animals, such as the Central Plains Area, Nanyang Area, and the Americas Area.But as soon as Ugly and the others entered the zoo, they immediately rushed to the Americas.

Today is exactly ten days, and there are a lot of people visiting the zoo, especially some children, accompanied by their parents, are running around, holding snacks such as cotton candy and candied haws, from time to time He also let out a crisp laugh.

Li Yin has five children now, besides Chou Chou, Li Qi, and Li Mian, Mengxue also gave birth to a daughter for him three years ago, named Bing Xi, and Wen Xin was finally pregnant again two years ago. It turned out to be another daughter, named Youlan, who is only over one year old now, but Youlan is too young, so she didn't come this time.It is also worth mentioning that, apart from Chou Chou and the other five, Jin Shengman and Wen'er were also pregnant almost at the same time. It is estimated that by next year, Li Yin will have seven children.

Li Yin's four children, plus three from Qinghe, and one from Gao Yang's family, add up to eight children. You can guess how noisy it is without thinking, although each child has more than two maids Watching, but they always like to pester Li Yin to ask this and that. Of course, this is also related to the fact that Li Yin knows more animals.

After looking around in the American area, what impressed Li Yin most was the big turkey, but when he saw the turkey, what he thought about in his mind was to pluck the turkey's "feather" and then Stuffing various fruits in the stomach and roasting them in the stove is a famous dish in later generations, but unfortunately he has never tasted it.

Now that he came to the zoo, he naturally couldn’t just visit the Americas area, so he took the children to visit several other areas, but in comparison, there were more people in the Americas area, after all, people like to see a novelty.

But when he finally left the zoo, the director of the zoo who had been with Li Min gave a gift to Chou Chou and his children. These gifts were a group of cute little animals just born this year. The pandas sent by the state, and the sloths from Australia, etc., although the breeds are not yiyàng, they are all born not long ago, and they are all very cute.Capital Datang 614

The entire zoo was built with Li Yin's private funds, so the animals in the zoo are also his private property, so it is reasonable for the director of the zoo to send a few small animals. Li Yin began to feel a little uncomfortable , but seeing Chou Chou and the others with starry eyes, their hearts softened. In addition, pandas in this era are not cherished animals, so they accepted them.

However, he did not forget to tell the people in the zoo to send the food of these animals to a few children every day. If they get sick, they need to be treated. After all, they are still small lives, especially the children. They all like it so much, if they accidentally die, it will make them sad.

In the end, Li Yin took eight children with him, and each child held a pet that he chose in his hands. For example, the youngest sons of Bingxi and Qinghe both chose a red panda, and the sons of Li Qi and Gao Yang both chose a pet. A little leopard, this is a very popular pet among the aristocratic men of the Tang Dynasty. After being raised, it can help the owner hunt. As for the two eldest sisters, Chou Chou and Mo Qing, they actually chose a male and a female. The two cubs made an appointment to let them marry and have a litter of tigers to play with after the tigers were brought up. The result made Li Yin dumbfounded.

However, the animals selected by Chouju are only raised for a period of time when they are young. Once these animals grow up, Li Yin will not rest assured that they will stay with these ferocious beasts, and they will definitely be taken care of by some servants. At most, they go to see it when they remember.

But what Li Yin didn't expect was that when he returned to the palace, he was complained by Gao Yang. (to be continued...)
