The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

The progress of the military marriage was more smooth than Li Yuanqing had imagined. Although there were some small twists and turns, the overall situation was still under control.

By the end of the evening, more than 2000 veterans with rooms had basically a suitable mate. As for the remaining recruits and strong women, they could only wait for the next time.

After all, Changsheng island now has limited resources and can not take out so many houses as their new houses.

Both sides have confirmed each other, and the rest is to register and go through the process.

Shang Laoliu and Ma housekeeper have prepared dozens of scribes. The men and women who can and can write in Changsheng island are basically involved. Qu minqiu will also personally participate in the work, so as to make a record of officers at or above the general level.

Once written in black and white, their marriage was sealed and legal.

Next, there was a grand dinner, followed by a speech by Li Yuanqing to send congratulations on their newlyweds.

Later, it will be the bridal chamber.

Looking at a pair of anxious and busy figures at the bottom, Li Yuanqing was also in a good mood. He laughed at the old businessman and said, "brother Shang, we are more boys and girls now. What about? Are you not going to share a little bit for the island and save some women? "

Shang Laoliu couldn't help but look at Li Yuanqing and said, "Yuanqing, it's up to you to do this. You have a big family, so you don't have to add a couple of chopsticks. I'm a small family, and I want to live a few more years. "

Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing, just wanted to say something, but Liu Chunhua came over with a smile, "Yuanqing, what do you say is so happy?"

Liu Chunhua is now the housekeeper of the women's camp. She is responsible for all the affairs of the women's camp. To a certain extent, her power is much greater than that of Shang Laoliu.

Today, she is also busy with her feet off the ground, and now she has time to breathe.

Looking at her coming, Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "nothing. Sister in law Chunhua, I just thought about it. It's a good thing for the children to get married. We still have a lot of fat sheep here. We will have some slaughtered tomorrow and give them to these new households. Yeah. Each household should not be less than 1 jin of mutton. "

Liu Chunhua said with a smile, "tell the old businessman to do it."

Shang Laoliu quickly nodded, "Yuanqing, I wrote it down."

Li Yuanqing and Shang Laoliu looked at each other, and hurriedly staggered their eyes for fear that Liu Chunhua would see something different.

Otherwise, with Liu Chunhua's qualifications, he would really beat up Shang Laoliu here, and Li Yuanqing could not stop him.

Liu Chunhua sat on his seat with a smile, "Yuanqing, what were you talking about just now?"

Li Yuanqing felt guilty and said with a smile, "sister-in-law Chunhua, it's nothing. What brother Shang means is that he wants me to take some more concubines. "

Liu Chunhua obviously saw through Li Yuanqing's tricks, but said in a positive way: "Yuanqing, what do you think of this matter? Yuanqing, you are no longer the leader of the island. Some things, you have to make a decision in advance. When the branches are scattered and the population is flourishing, the young people at the bottom have more hope. "

This, let others say, certainly commit taboo, also nobody dares to say.

But for Liu Chunhua, there are not so many obstacles. She is Li Yuanqing's sister-in-law, and her elder sister-in-law is like a mother. She is also justified in her concern for these matters.

Li Yuanqing was speechless and said, "sister-in-law Chunhua, ah, I'm also anxious about this. This... "

Li Yuanqing really did not know how to speak.

Liu Chunhua said with a smile: "Yuanqing, it's OK this time. Don't run around. The two old doctors in the medical hall have good medical skills. Let them take care of you."

Li Yuanqing nodded, "it's OK. I also feel like I'm under too much pressure

Liu Chunhua said with a smile: "don't think about it. Yuanqing, you are young and healthy. It's OK. That's right. "

Liu Chunhua stopped for a moment and said in a low voice, "Yuanqing, yunniang, minqiu, what do you think?"

Li Yuanqing thought for a moment and then said, "sister-in-law Chunhua, this matter, we both said, they both Ah. Don't scold me. I can't think of a good way. You have to help me, sister-in-law Chunhua. "

"This..." Of course, Liu Chunhua understood.

In fact, this is the biggest worry of Changsheng island.

As Li Yuanqing is now, it is not difficult to get married, but it is very difficult to find a good marriage.

Frankly speaking, neither Zhang yunniang nor Qu minqiu are suitable to be Li Yuanqing's real wife, which is not enough to provide enough help for Li Yuanqing.

But both of them have followed Li Yuanqing for such a long time, and they can't be without fame

"It's not good to deal with it. First of all, I'll talk to them more later. We'll try to figure it out when it comes to fruition. What's more, Yuanqing, what should they do after they get married? Do you want to continue to concentrate? "

Li Yuanqing thought for a moment and said, "there is no need to concentrate on working. They have become relatives and have their own families. Men should be able to support them. Those who have not married are still in accordance with the past. By the way, sister-in-law Chunhua, you should pay more attention to their emotions. My island of longevity is just the beginning now. In the future, there will be many opportunities for them. "Liu Chunhua nodded, "yes. I know, Yuanqing. "

After chatting with Liu Chunhua, the compilation of the book is almost over. Li Yuanqing ascended the stage and made a speech with a simple loudspeaker. On the one hand, he affirmed the legitimacy of the marriage of these new families, and on the other hand, he congratulated them on giving birth to a baby.

After this process, there will be a banquet.

Unfortunately, at this time, there are not many people who are interested in the banquet. Most of the new households have taken a few mouthfuls and drank a few cups of wine, and then they rushed home with their new daughter-in-law.

It attracted the soldiers and young men who were not qualified to make a blind date.

Just as Li Yuanqing was about to leave and return to his official hall, there was a clamor not far away. Someone called out in not so smooth Chinese: "general, general, I am Joseph. Do you remember me

Huang Guoshan and his relatives and soldiers have also selected their daughter-in-law today. However, due to their duties, he and his brothers have not been able to enter the bridal chamber for the time being and have been guarding here.

They stopped Joseph.

Seeing this ghost guy, Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing, "brothers, it's hard today. Send him to the official hall. You all go back to have a rest. Hehe, spring curfew is worth a thousand dollars. "

"General Xie." All the relatives and soldiers were overjoyed.

Returning to the official hall, Joseph looked around carefully.

Li Yuanqing sat down on the main seat and lotus root offered tea.

Joseph glanced at ou'er and was shocked. However, he also knew that this beautiful oriental girl must be the forbidden man in front of him. He quickly withdrew his eyes and said with a smile, "general, have we not seen each other for a long time? I miss you very much. "

Li Yuanqing smile, "Mr. Joseph, I'm very happy to see you in Changsheng island."

Joseph scolded secretly in his heart, but on his face he said with a flattering smile: "general, you know that I am a noble. I really need your help to reorganize a fleet, which will bring you and me great profits and returns. "

Li Yuanqing said with a smile, "Mr. Joseph, can I understand that you need my investment now?"

"Yes, yes. That's what it means

Joseph hastily said, "general, as long as we can transport Daming porcelain, tea and silk, including all kinds of specialties, to Southeast Asia and Europe, we will certainly make a fortune."

Li Yuanqing nodded.

In fact, no one knows better than him the huge profits of maritime trade in the era of great navigation.

Even in later generations, transportation is also a profiteering industry.

However, in this era, restricted by the level of science and technology, navigation is a very dangerous job. Let alone the unpredictable natural disasters, it is enough to make people unable to defend themselves.

Li Yuanqing does not know too much about the southern market.

However, Guan Canghai came out of the Zheng family. Through chatting with him on weekdays, Li Yuanqing also knew something. Although the Zheng family did not become a giant in the southeast coast at this time, it was already a strong local villain.

I'm afraid it would be very difficult to go to Nanyang without Zheng's nodding.

Moreover, the fleet of Li Yuanqing and the various departments of Dongjiang were not very skilled. The advanced navigation technology and shipbuilding materials accumulated by the navy of juehua island and Zheng He during his voyages to the West had already been completely burned by that famous man.

Li Yuanqing also wanted to know how far the western colonists in Southeast Asia, their warships and merchant ships, had reached.

But for all the reasons, it's far from easy to be sure.

Li Yuanqing looked at Joseph quietly for a long time, and then he said, "Mr. Joseph, you have to know that the maritime territory of Daming is very large, and there are many forces in it. As an outsider, you want to take a share of this. Don't you feel that it's very difficult?"

Joseph said quickly: "general, in fact, before I went to the capital, I went all the way from Macao to the north. I have done research on all these things. Although things are as you said, they are not impossible to do. Our goals are the Indian Ocean, the Arabian Sea and Europe. Most of their goals are in the South Ocean. There are not too many conflicts and conflicts between us and them. "

Li Yuanqing laughed, "Mr. Joseph, do you have an accurate navigation chart? You should know that a mature channel is crucial to a large fleet. "

Joseph was stunned and immediately understood what Li Yuanqing meant. He said, "general, frankly, I did have the route map before, but now it has been lost. All the routes are in my head. As long as there are ships and sailors, we will soon reach Europe. "

Li Yuanqing nodded his head and laughed indifferently.

The grandson of the tortoise still wants to keep one hand. He really thinks he has a big face.

Even if he had no sailing experience, Li Yuanqing knew that since the Song Dynasty, China's route to Nanyang had been very mature. As long as it wasn't an idea and met with a big storm, there would be no big obstacle.

At this time, the western colonists' routes to the South Ocean, the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea, and then bypassed the Cape of good hope to Europe, had also tended to mature. However, due to the speed of ships, the time was very long.If conditions permit, Li Yuanqing really wants to go for a walk by himself, but it is obviously unrealistic at this time.

But even if we can't go ocean at this time, Changsheng island has a very good "partner"

That is Japan.

Japan is rich in silver, weapons forging technology is mature, and is in the name of the scuffle period, is really a good dumping ground.

But now, Li Yuanqing needs something very much.

He looked at Joseph with a smile. "Dear Mr. Joseph, I heard that in Macao, you Westerners have developed a kind of mature heavy artillery?"
