The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

Time slowly came to the end of March, the weather gradually began to warm up, the original ice covered sea surface, gradually returned to blue.

Over the past ten days, Li Yuanqing personally took charge of the town, and several key government affairs on the island were rapidly promoted.

The first to bear the brunt is the cultivation of sweet potato.

As the saying goes, "food is the most important thing for the people.".

According to the topography of Changsheng Island, and after Li Yuanqing's hard work over the past few years, originally, only basic crops such as wheat and corn were planted, which gradually reached the demand of self-sufficiency. However, with the participation of more than 50000 surnames in Zhenjiang City, the balance was broken, and Changsheng Island ran out of population, which was more than twice the population base, In this respect, it is natural that we will be in short supply.

Farming is the foundation of the country, especially in this era.

Li Yuanqing did not dare to be slighted.

In these days, he went into the fields of various regions every day to check and inspect the planting situation of sweet potato.

Sweet potatoes are a good thing.

Not only the fruit can be eaten, but also the top is full of nutrition. Its seedlings can also be used as feed to feed livestock. It can be said that the whole body is treasure.

Economically, sweet potatoes can also be used to make wine.

In later generations, sweet potato, or sweet potato, was the main component of Laobaigan, a famous star.

As long as the planting of sweet potato can be carried out smoothly, it will be a qualitative leap for Changsheng island and Li Yuanqing.

On the west side of Liaoning Province, the first batch of old cellars in southern Liaoning Province have arrived. Manchu has already prepared for this. In a few days, the promotion work of Liaonan old cellars in western Liaoning will start rapidly.

In addition, the good news came back from manchui. He had already connected with several big tribes of Duoyan department, and would provide Li Yuanqing with at least 20 excellent stallions.

In fact, Li Yuanqing was lucky.

The main reason is that the old slaves were so poor that they had to "peel off the skin" of the Mongol tribes near Daming in the Duoyan tribe, which made them not as tight as they used to be on the crucial issue of horse breeding.

And Changsheng island itself, the biggest news of these days, is shunzi's marriage with the only girl of Shang Laoliu.

Li Yuanqing has already said that Zhang yunniang wants to cook "raw rice into cooked rice" faster.

She has personally visited the business and presented the deposit etiquette. Next, it is the process of preparing for the engagement and marriage.

According to Zhang yunniang, it's better to finish this work in these two months, before the army goes out in June.

For this, Li Yuanqing also nodded to accept.

As for Kong Youde's side, Li Yuanqing can only give him a few beauties captured in Jiangcheng as compensation.

In terms of kerosene, in the face of Yuan Keli's strength, Li Yuanqing did not have many good methods for the time being. He could only purchase and hoard in batches through the channels of Denglai merchants.

The main reason is that Mao Wenlong is about to fight in Liaodong, and Li Yuanqing does not have enough time to travel to Denglai. Otherwise, if we go to Shandong to collect a few small oil mines, the problem should not be big.

But yuan Keli such a big man, the most important thing is the rules and face. If Li Yuanqing does not go, other people in Changsheng island will not even be qualified to see him.

Even if Li Yuanqing goes, he has to "pretend to be a grandson" in front of this master.

Fortunately, the relationship between Changsheng island and Denglai merchants has been maintained well. Even though the price of kerosene is slightly higher than the freight, it is still within the scope of Li Yuanqing's tolerance.

In addition to the operation of private salt, this aspect has also been offset, but there is still a little profit.

"You boy, you can. This is silent, unexpectedly did so big handwriting? "

In the field north of nanxinkou, Li Yuanqing met shunzi, who had not appeared for a long time, and couldn't help laughing and kicking him.

Shunzi is Li Yuanqing's first younger brother and Zhang yunniang's only brother. He can form a good relationship with a girl. Although it is beyond Li Yuanqing's control, it is still a good thing in general.

For this boy, although Li Yuanqing strict requirements, but his trust, but far from other people comparable.

Shunzi said with a straight smile, "brother, this matter is actually a little unexpected. I used to take a girl as my sister. Who knows Hey, hey, hey. "

Although the boy said shyly, the pride on his face could not be concealed.

Li Yuanqing was relieved to think about it. As early as the first year of Tianqi, shunzi had already met a girl on the way to Zhangjiakou. How could he be Kong Youde who was bent on fighting in the military camp?

"All right. Get up. They are all guerrilla generals, just like a child. "

Li Yuanqing stretched out his hand with a smile, pulled shunzi up and said with a smile: "by the way, boy, how do you deal with those in your family?"

As Li Yuanqing's immediate confidant, shunzi has been very proud in recent years. There are six or seven concubines and several children.

As for the family wealth, with the help of Zhang yunniang, how can this boy be poor?Shunzi hehe straight smile, "brother, this matter, the girl is not don't know. As long as I'm good to her, it's over? "

Shunzi's words, on the contrary, made Li Yuanqing a little stunned. Li Yuanqing never thought that Liu Chunhua's strong temperament could make her daughter suffer injustice?

"What's going on here, you boy? Explain it to Laozi Li Yuanqing couldn't help kicking the boy again.

Shunzi was obviously used to Li Yuanqing's movements, and was not upset. He hurriedly and carefully gathered to Li Yuanqing's ear and whispered in a low voice for a while.

Hearing the speech, Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile bitterly.

This son of a bitch, it's really effective.

Shunzi didn't learn anything else from himself. The way to get a girl is

"Boy, I'll tell you. The girl is no one else. If you marry a girl, you dare to play tricks. Don't say that Shang Laoliu doesn't spare you, neither can I nor your sister. Do you understand? "

Li Yuanqing patted shunzi on the back of his head and broke his face to let him look into his eyes.

Although this boy has been in the army for nearly five years and has the same military age as Li Yuanqing, shunzi has not yet celebrated his 20th birthday. It is inevitable that he is still a bit impetuous. This matter is of great importance, and Li Yuanqing can not help beating this boy carefully.

Otherwise, something will happen. Even if Li Yuanqing can protect his life, the boy's future will be destroyed. This is the result that Li Yuanqing never wants to see.

Shunzi was a little aggrieved, but he had to nod again and again, "brother, am I so stupid? Don't worry. I will love the girl

Looking at shunzi, who is only less than half a head shorter than himself, Li Yuanqing suddenly finds that the child in his eyes has already grown up, has become a father, is about to be a husband, and is already a guerrilla general and his right arm. It is really inappropriate for him to treat this boy so rudely.

"All right. What are you pinching? Like a girl. How are the children practicing these days Li Yuanqing said and looked at the barracks not far from heaven and earth.

Although he asked himself to keep calm in his heart, Li Yuanqing's style of being a leader had already gone deep into the bone marrow, and shunzi was already used to it. He said with a smile: "brother, it's OK. Mid month martial arts examination. I reckon that at least 80% are excellent. "

Looking at the boy's elated appearance, Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing, "OK. First, I'll go to inspect the fields with Laozi. After lunch, let's go to your station

Shunzi was not surprised, but was happy. He laughed, "brother, that's great. Since the brothers moved to nanxinkou, you have not been to our barracks. "

"Lu Jinshan, get out of here for me," he cried

For a moment, a strong hundred households came running quickly and respectfully knelt on one knee and saluted, "general. Mr. Shun Tzu. "

Li Yuanqing a smile, "get up."

Lu Jinshan was overjoyed and got up with a smile, "general Xie." Then he said to shunzi, "what can I do for you, Lord shunzi?"

Shunzi said with a smile: "wait a moment, the general is going to inspect our camp. You should go to the meeting first and let the brothers prepare well. Don't lose face on me!"

Lu Jinshan was more happy and said, "thank you for your grace. I'm going to get ready at once

If they can get Li Yuanqing's inspection, if they perform well, they will have a greater chance to appear in the next war. Otherwise, if they are arranged to stay on the island, they will be unable to find a place to cry.

"Wait a minute."

Li Yuanqing suddenly said.

Lu Jinshan was stunned and stopped. "General, what else do you want?"

"Lu Jinshan? Lu Jinshan? "

Reading Lu Jinshan's name, Li Yuanqing suddenly said, "I remember. Lu Jinshan, aren't you a Spearman? And, it turns out, your body

Li Yuanqing said, busy, but also can not describe Lu Jinshan at the beginning like bean sprouts general figure.

But at this time, standing in front of him is a strong and strong man. Even if he goes to the beauty contest, it is estimated that this guy can survive several rounds of screening.

Lu Jinshan didn't expect Li Yuanqing to remember him? Not greatly moved, he quickly explained: "general, humble position, humble position is also the meat of later. Eat well every day, and practice is enough. Hey, hey... "

Shunzi said with a smile: "general, now the stone lock with a hundred catties can be held up by this guy in one hand, just like playing. The right hand is about the same

"Ha ha."

Li Yuanqing can't help but also a little tongue tied, a moment before the reaction, "Lu Jinshan. Good, good. Wait a minute. I'll see what you're capable of! "

Lu Jinshan could not help but be overjoyed. He kowtowed as fast as he could. "His humble position will surely do his best to prevent the general from being disappointed."

After Lu Jinshan left, Li Yuanqing, with shunzi and his party, inspected the fields around nanxinkou.

It has been more than ten days since planting sweet potato seeds, and many men and women have taken good care of them every day. At this time, some places with good terrain have grown green seedlings.Although they are still weak and pitiful, they are like the seeds of hope, which make everyone happy.

Li Yuanqing is also in a good mood.

At this time, although Li Yuanqing controlled a lot of land, only Changsheng island was really fully developed.

For example, Zhongdao and Xidao are far away from nanxinkou.

After all, nanxinkou is less than a mile away from the wharf opposite Changsheng island.

Moreover, the terrain conditions of Zhongdao and Xidao are slightly worse, and there is not enough labor force to develop the land. The most important planting sites of sweet potato are Changsheng Island, North and South Xinkou, and yangguanpu area.

After a brief lunch, Li Yuanqing and shunzi went directly to the barracks on the North Bank of nanxinkou to inspect the children's practice.

Today, the change of Lu Jinshan's figure seems to open a door for Li Yuanqing.

In fact, military training is not only about discipline and skills, but also physical aspects.

In this regard, Li Yuanqing would like to learn from this strong muscular man.
