The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

"Ha ha."

Li Yuanqing faint smile, "big brother, things may not think so complex."

As the saying goes, "people go up, water flows down.".

Everyone wants to make their own life better, which is nothing to blame.

Zhang pan, Mao Chenglu, Chen Jisheng and Chen liangce, for example, were forced to have no way out of their predicament because of their ability, so they focused their attention on Li Yuanqing.

However, due to various reasons, Li Yuanqing could not reach the headquarters of Dongjiang openly, so he could only borrow some ingenuity.

Chen Zhong said: "Yuanqing, I know your temper. In the short run, you're very righteous. But Yuanqing, you have to understand that people are very complicated. Once we let them reach out and form the habit, we and their brother will be very difficult to do it. "

Li Yuanqing nodded, but with a smile, "big brother, so, I need you to help me."

Li Yuanqing said, briefly recounting his ideas to Chen Zhong.

At this time, Dongjiang was in such a state of barren materials, too much land and few people. It was impossible to realize the goal of industrial development.

As Chen Zhong said, once Zhang pan and his wife have formed the habit of "reaching out", they will have nothing to do in a short time. However, if the days are long, or if Li Yuanqing encounters any difficulties, they may not even be able to do it.

It's like a double-edged sword.

Well done, Li Yuanqing collected all the people's hearts, and could firmly grasp the lifeblood of these officers in Dongjiang, with both fame and wealth. But if you don't do it well, you will not only make efforts, but also get into trouble.

With Li Yuanqing's expression, Chen Zhong has gradually understood Li Yuanqing's meaning, and his eyes are not from a bright, "Yuanqing, you mean, let them eat dry stocks here?"

Li Yuanqing smiles, "big brother, that's almost what I mean. But I'm not good at this. I need you to help me with the operation. "

Although Li Yuanqing had a good harvest in the north, with the reward, although he still had a lot of material reserves, his finance was in deficit, not to mention, he still owed Qu Mingrui 500000 liang of silver.

At present, it is also the top priority of Li Yuanqing's task to open up financial channels.

At this time, the best, most effective and most direct way is to start marine trade.

Although the land of Liao is poor, there are still many local specialties.

In particular, luxuries such as velvet antler, ginseng, mink, bear gall and bear paw are still very popular among the aristocratic class in Daming, including Japan and Nanyang.

In this regard, because the south of Liaoning was near no man's land, and the later Jin Dynasty was very vigilant, the road was not smooth.

But PiDao, because of its geographical advantages, is adjacent to North Korea, and Chen Jisheng has been operating in Kuandian for many years. As long as Li Yuanqing can take out the silver, they will surely have a way to collect the things and transport them to Li Yuanqing's hands.

These treasures, even if not exported, have been paved by Yang jiaoniang in the capital. As long as Li Yuanqing transports the things to the capital, it will make at least several times the profit.

What's more, the biggest risk has been transferred to Zhang pan and his colleagues.

Even if Mao Wenlong is aware of the private business and industry, it is difficult to pick out Li Yuanqing's fault.

In the worst case, Mao himself was involved.

But in this case, because of the need to avoid suspicion, Li Yuanqing does not want to face Mao Wenlong's sharpness now. Chen Zhong is the best candidate.

At this time, Chen Zhong had fully understood Li Yuanqing's meaning and couldn't help laughing, "Yuanqing, how long is your brain? Well. It's up to me to handle this matter. Tomorrow, I'll go to PiDao. "

Li Yuanqing said with a smile, "big brother, I want to eat rice one mouthful at a time. Don't worry too much. Let's have a drink first

……

Chen Zhong went to PiDao in the early morning of the next day.

For this, Li Yuanqing did not stop.

As the saying goes, "everything is difficult at the beginning.".

It was destined to be very difficult for them to take the first step.

But they can only wait for Li Yuanqing to react.

According to the discussion with Chen Zhong last night, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong decided to set up a business firm with the name of Liaonan commercial bank for the time being.

Li Yuanqing ruled with absolute capital and was responsible for a series of operations, occupying 80% of the shares, while Chen Zhong contributed money, personnel and efforts to occupy 20% of the shares.

Originally, Li Yuanqing was ready to give up 10% of the members to Zhang pan, but Chen Zhong decided to reject it.

Chen Zhong's meaning is very clear, things are not on track, everything should be analyzed according to the facts, and the whole line must be ensured to work, so as to open the gap for Zhang Pan and them.

After thinking for a long time, Li Yuanqing finally agreed to Chen Zhong's plan.

Good brother, the account is clear.

First the villain, then the gentleman.

In this way, even if there is any accounting dispute later, the brothers can sit down and have a good talk.In the morning, he discussed with Wei Liang the matter of reporting meritorious service to the imperial court, and made a general plan. Li Yuanqing directly ordered Shang Laoliu, Ma housekeeper, Guan Canghai and Xu Heizi to take charge of the detailed details. The details were completely sorted out, written out and implemented, and then handed over to him. After he nodded, he sent them directly to the capital.

At noon, accompanied by his wife and children after dinner, Li Yuanqing, accompanied by Duan Xiliang, Huang Guoshan, Wang Hai, Kong Youde, Li Sansheng, shunzi, Liu Dadou and Yang Xiaobo, visited nanxinkou wharf for inspection.

After returning to Changsheng island for ten days, Li Yuanqing finally had time to inspect the construction of Changsheng island's defense system.

Nanxinkou wharf was already quite large at this time.

The broad wharf is full of all kinds of warships, large and small. Not far from the wharf, Duan Xiliang's No. 1000 regiment is stationed. It is like a sharp knife, firmly guarding the safety of the wharf.

On the other side of the river, the children also built more than a dozen watchtowers, but when there is wind and grass moving, the island will receive the news at the first time and make a response.

But at this time, Li Yuanqing did not inspect the wharf, but came to a newly built barracks next to the station of the 1000 th Corps.

The barracks are all made of wood, which seems to be a little crude, but it is quite broad, the terrain is flat, and the conditions are quite good.

Just walked to the door, the guard at the door of more than a dozen soldiers, hastily knelt on one knee, saluted Li Yuanqing, "humble level see general."

Li Yuanqing smiles and nods to them, "the children are laborious." Stride into the courtyard.

In the open space of the yard, a large oilcloth was covered with a large unknown object. A dozen white haired ghosts, dressed in bright red mandarin duck war coats of the Ming army, were chatting in the shade of the trees.

When Li Yuanqing and his party came in, they were quick to react. The harsh whistle sounded. Soon, forty or fifty white haired ghosts in bright red mandarin duck war coats came out in a hurry.

After a while, Joseph also ran out of a house in a hurry, licking his smiling face, and quickly ran to Li Yuanqing, "Oh! Dear general, how did you come to your humble camp in such a hot time. That's true. Please take a seat in the room. This time, I specially brought back some delicious coffee beans from Jakarta. You must try the craft of humble duty. "

Li Yuanqing a smile, "Joseph brothers, you can see, these days, the small life is very good."

Joseph, with a straight smile, said, "it's not all thanks to the general. Without you, I would be just a little gangster selling little black girls for a living. "

Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing. This dead foreign devil is a little self-conscious.

However, for these white haired ghosts, Li Yuanqing was very disgusted at the bottom of his heart. He looked around and thought for a moment.

Joseph quickly bowed his head respectfully, and the atmosphere did not dare to breathe.

The "mercenaries" of the white haired ghosts around him were all upright and did not dare to say more than half a word.

They have been watching the awards of the past few days.

Previously, I heard that Joseph and Yang Xiaobo wanted to call on them to come to Changsheng island. Many of them were dismissive.

However, Joseph and Yang boat later offered a high price to each of them 50 Liang silver a year, which made them reluctantly and reluctant to get on the boat.

But at this time, after experiencing the military appearance of Changsheng Island, how could they dare to be disrespectful to Li Yuanqing?

Now, even in their hometown of Europe, it's hard to see such a team as the evergreen camp.

Li Yuanqing glanced around and nodded to them with a smile, "ladies and gentlemen, originally I was going to come to see you foreign brothers earlier, but the mundane affairs are so entangled that we have to wait until now. I hope you don't blame me! "

Joseph said to himself, "with your present power, who dares to blame you?"

But he said with a smile: "the generals command Changsheng island and the land in the southern part of Liaoning Province, which is nearly a thousand miles away, must be busy with government affairs. To tell you the truth, I think it will be at least one month before you think of us. "

Li Yuanqing burst out laughing, "brother Joseph, you're so mean, but you're more and more slipping away! Good, good! Welcome to Changsheng island

In the last few sentences, Li Yuanqing spoke English.

These white haired ghosts are all in a daze.

They really didn't expect that this arrogant man of power and power could still understand English, which

For a moment, someone finally responded.

"It's a great honor for me to meet you. Humble Thomas, sincerely willing to work for you

"I am willing to work for you."

“……”

These white haired ghosts saluted Li Yuanqing one after another.

Li Yuanqing laughed, exchanged greetings with them, turned his eyes to the large oilcloth, and said with a smile, "brother Joseph, please go and open them in person."Joseph was so flattered that he ran to the front and lifted the oilcloth.

In an instant, a door swarthy and large objects appeared in front of everyone.

In the sun's light, their dark surface, emitting a dazzling reflection, it is simply some people dare not look directly.

"This, is this the legendary red cannon?" Kong Youde was stunned.

For a moment, he ran straight to the front of these huge red cannon.

After Li Yuanqing, Duan Xiliang, Huang Guoshan and Wang Hai were all stunned and silent for a while.

For a moment, shunzi couldn't help laughing and said, "what a damn thing. If we have these treasures in our hands, we are afraid of Tartars

Wang Hai was also very excited, his eyes were shining, "if you put this baby on the boat, hehe, hehe, hehe..."

Seeing Kong Youde, shunzi, Wang Hai, Huang Guoshan and so on, they have already come to the front to "start.".

Duan Xiliang came back to his senses and spat hard. He strode forward quickly, "let me touch you."
