The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

The reception ceremony at the wharf lasted for more than an hour until it was completely dark, which was barely the end.

Li Yuanqing exchanged greetings with almost every officer at the general level or even the general flag level, which greatly moved and excited many officers in Nanyang.

Li Yuanqing almost gave them the highest glory.

In the camp two miles away from the wharf, a feast has been prepared. Tonight, it is destined to be a sleepless night of Carnival!

However, the fleet is too large. It has nearly 200 warships of all sizes. If we want to enter the port, we will have to wait until tomorrow afternoon at least.

In the camp, there are more than 100 tables directly placed on the campus.

At this time, although the cold sea breeze is bitter, but the fierce momentum of the children in the field, I'm afraid that the forced sea breeze will make a detour.

Li Yuanqing delivered an impassioned speech, and personally took ten rounds of wine, perfect, and then returned to his position to rest.

Ten bowls of wine, each bowl even if it is half a kilogram ~, and then remove the spilled, but at least it must have more than half a kilogram.

Rao is Li Yuanqing's liquor capacity is astonishing, but at the same time also some can't eat.

"Yuanqing, are you ok?"

"Marshal, are you ok?"

Chen Zhong, Xu Heizi and Yang Xiaochuan at the same table were all shocked.

Li Yuanqing, this is simply too hard! It's too much face for the brothers.

Li Yuanqing waved his hand with a smile. After a long pause, he felt better. He said with a smile, "this wine is OK. However, I have to take a break. Big brother, you come to honor the brothers. "

Of course, Chen Zhong understood Li Yuanqing's meaning and laughed: "come, sunspot, boat, Yangzi, brothers, you are all good guys. Today, although can't get drunk, but must arrive the line. Here, I'd like to toast you

…………

This kind of banquet should last at least two hours, and Li Yuanqing could not accompany him to the end.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

He gave the banquet to Shang Laoliu, Ma housekeeper and Chen Zhong to accompany them. Li Yuanqing went to the public house to rest.

Not long, Xu sunspot, Yang Xiaobo, Zhang Yang, also quickly followed.

"I've seen the commander in chief at a humble level."

The three kowtowed and saluted one after another.

Li Yuanqing laughed: "my brothers, get up. How is Canghai recently? "

Xu also stayed in Nanyang with the fleet for more than half a year, and was familiar with the situation there. He said with a smile: "commander in chief, the sea is not bad recently. He has taken a new house of ocean horse as a concubine. The main reason is that Nanyang's affairs are complicated at this time. He must stay there, otherwise, the sea will come back. "

Li Yuanqing smiled and nodded. "It is the basis of our long-term life camp to have brothers perform their duties. It's just that the distance is too far. The brothers want to see each other. It can't be as easy as it used to be. "

Xu sunspot three people are empathetic, have lowered their heads.

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "a good man, you should be ambitious! In the future, our foundation will be even bigger. Territory, more. Silver, also want to earn more! All three of you are guides

Three people are busy kneeling, "willing to die for the commander-in-chief!"

Li Yuanqing waved his hand with a smile, "sit down and talk."

Some soldiers offered tea, and Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "what's the specific situation? Which of you will report first? "

"The boat is the commander-in-chief of this trip, but I'm just a passer-by. Boat, report to the marshal

In terms of qualifications, Xu Heizi is naturally more profound than Yang Xiaobo. According to the truth, it is normal for him to report to Li Yuanqing, but at this time, he gives the opportunity to Yang Xiaobo.

Although Yang Xiaobo is the commander-in-chief of this trip, he should report to Li Yuanqing, but he naturally accepted Xu's attitude and face, and said with a smile: "thank you very much."

No longer polite, he bowed his hand to Li Yuanqing and said with a smile: "marshal, in recent years, although our progress in Nanyang has not been smooth, it has gradually taken root. Especially after the Zheng family's things are straightened out, it will be more smooth and convenient for the materials of our Changsheng camp to enter Nanyang. The overall situation is developing in a better direction. "

Yang Xiaobo knows very well that this is only a brief report. When he meets Li Yuanqing alone in the future, it is time to report carefully.

At this time, he just said a big framework to let Li Yuanqing know.

Yang Xiaobo's language is very concise, but the outline is very clear. In a short time, he has straightened out the whole framework of Nanyang.

On one side, Xu Heizi also had to admire it.

It's no wonder Li Yuanqing trusted Yang Xiaobo so much. This guy is really capable.

In the future, he was determined to make good friends with Yang Xiaobo.

Although the Zheng family affairs on Xu Heizi's side are also the core, compared with the great cause of the fleet, they have to give in slightly.And Zhang Yang's side, after all, the qualification and identity are still behind, at this time, there are not too many opportunities for performance.

However, we all understand that after all, Li Yuanqing will have to summon them alone and listen to their reports.

Although the meeting lasted only half an hour, the time had already arrived.

Xu Heizi and Zhang Yang left first, but Li Yuanqing left Yang Xiaobo behind and said with a smile, "boat, can your daughter-in-law and your son settle down properly?"

Yang Xiaobo said with a smile: "marshal, today, let them live on the boat first, and then take them home with humble duty tomorrow."

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "the child is young, so is it. Come on, boat, take the same car with me. Let's go back to the official hall and continue to talk

Yang boat did not expect Li Yuanqing should give him such a special honor. He was surprised and pleased at the moment. For a moment, he knelt down in front of Li Yuanqing and said, "yes."

…………

The carriage moved smoothly and steadily along the main road of cement road.

Yang Xiaobo also reported the overall income of Nanyang to Li Yuanqing in detail.

"Marshal, in recent years, the income of our maritime trade in Nanyang is only average. Compared with the old brands of Spaniards, Portuguese and Dutch, they are still much worse. Mainly gold, slaves and spices, which are the most profitable businesses, are occupied by these white haired monkeys. All we have to do is drink some of their soup. "

"Commander in chief, we will have a fight with these white haired monkeys sooner or later! Only by completely defeating or even annihilating the main force of these white haired monkeys can we gain real dominance in Nanyang

Li Yuanqing nodded slowly, "this matter, I have thought about it for a long time. However, the time is still far from mature. We must be patient and accumulate strength. "

Yang Xiaobo also nodded, "commander, although we can't take the initiative now, as long as we continue to develop in accordance with the situation at this time, we will certainly be able to train a strong army on the sea in less than ten years. By the way, marshal, although our sea trade in Nanyang is not very smooth, our Fujiu Shougao has an excellent market. In particular, the Japanese market and Manila, Jakarta several important places. Now, Malacca, we are also actively exploring. "

"Marshal, now, in Japan, in Manila, in Jakarta, even formed a popular. Who can eat our blessing ~ longevity ~ cream, that is the symbol of nobility. These three places alone will bring us at least one million Liang silver every year. However, commander-in-chief, I just don't understand why this kind of treasure can't be sold to local Chinese businessmen? Just for this matter, those people have not let humble officials and vice generals worry a lot

Li Yuanqing frowned slightly, "boat, this matter, I have mentioned with you before. Now, I'm going to say it again. Fu ~ Shou ~ Gao, it must be a business firmly controlled by us. Only sold to Japanese, Nanyang natives, white haired monkeys. Chinese, absolutely can't touch a cent! If anyone dares to break this rule, there must be no mercy! Li Yuanqing will not be soft hearted in any way

Li Yuanqing said at the end, his tone was very strict.

Yang Xiaobo was startled and understood Li Yuanqing's determination. He quickly bowed his hand and said, "commander, I understand my humble duty."

…………

Back in the official hall, with the bright candle light, Yang Xiaobo also took out the core account book for Li Yuanqing to check, while carefully explaining for Li Yuanqing.

"Marshal, at this time, we are in Brunei, connecting all the lines. The gross profit of a year is about 10 million taels. The net profit is about 5 million taels after removing the depletion and expenditure. But the cost of the construction of Brunei's home port and many strongholds along the line is indeed too much. About two million taels can be supplied to the headquarters every year. When the official came, he also told me to be humble and to ask the commander-in-chief to increase the output of Fu ~ Shou ~ Gao

Li Yuanqing nodded slowly.

In fact, the profit of sea trade is very huge, but the reason why Changsheng camp can not get the maximum profit at this time is mainly due to several aspects.

The first thing to bear the brunt is the obstruction of the inherent white forces in the Nanyang region.

Li Yuanqing and his children were still new in Nanyang at this time. Especially in the size of the fleet, there was still too much gap between them.

This is doomed, they can not control the absolute advantage, naturally also can't get the big profits.

Moreover, because of the restrictions of the imperial court, the supply of goods for Changsheng camp in Daming was not fully guaranteed.

Although it was supported by the fur of the northern and Liao dynasties, these things were mainly sold to Europe, and Li Yuanqing still could not get the largest share.

China's best-selling products are silk, tea and porcelain.

Trade deficit is the best.

At this time, after all, it was still a primary groping stage. There were more goods going out from Daming than from Nanyang.

The main reason is that Li Yuanqing's political position still fails to meet the needs of the market. He is unable to develop the domestic market on a large scale, and naturally he is unable to maximize profits.Not to mention, and the Zheng family of birds, to follow the division of food.

"Don't worry about it. I have a lot of patience. Boat, you need to remember, steady, solid foundation. Only when we have laid the foundation firmly, we will have more strength when we fly into the sky in the future. "

Yang Xiaobo nodded respectfully, "commander-in-chief, I remember my humble duty."

For a moment, he said with a smile: "commander in chief, this trip, the humble position is on the surface. What he reported to others is two million taels of silver for the headquarters. In fact, the humble position still has 2.5 million taels of silver, which are all hidden in the bottom warehouse of the rear team. Commander in chief, detailed accounts and humble duties are recorded in the second half of the account book. "

Li Yuanqing could not help showing a trace of unspeakable smile, "you boy, you are more clever than I thought! However, boat, you need to remember that in this kind of thing, the accounts must be clear and organized. "

Of course, Yang Xiaobo understood Li Yuanqing's meaning. He nodded respectfully and said with a smile, "commander-in-chief, humble and provincial. Before leaving, the official also specially ordered the humble position. By the way, commander-in-chief, look at this. You let me find superior tobacco. I finally got some good products. "

With that, Yang Xiaobo carefully took out two cloth bags from his waist pocket and said with a smile, "marshal, look, this bag is finished tobacco. This bag is seeds. "
