The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

On October 29, after nearly ten days of sailing, Li Yuanqing's fleet arrived at Changsheng Island, the home port.

This is also the biggest inconvenience at this time.

That is, traffic is not smooth, which leads to poor information.

In later generations, things that can be done in three or two days often take half a month, a month or even more.

For example, information from the capital to the south of Liaoning Province, even if it is urgent to submit it within 800 Li, it will take at least seven days.

Not to mention, in this, people are sleepy, and the cost of eating horses.

If there is a telephone at this time, it is only the intelligence line from the capital to the south of Liaoning Province. In a year's time, I'm afraid it will save Li Yuanqing hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

But Li Yuanqing is also very clear that "Haste makes waste".

Fast has the advantage of fast, slow ~, but also has the advantage of good slow.

At least, in this "morning journey", Li Yuanqing can have enough time to rest and think, and enjoy his warm and fragrant nephrite carefully.

These intelligence lines are also the best non wartime training methods for Li Yuanqing to train elite children.

Of course ~, and the most important point is that Li Yuanqing can make full use of the historical time difference of foresight.

At this time, the weather was very cold, and the coastal waters had begun to freeze. However, on the home port side of Changsheng Island, the broken ice had already been broken, and there was no problem for the fleet to stop sailing.

Li Yuanqing and his party got off the boat. The snow outside had fallen heavily. The snow rustled in the sky. The whole world was covered in a snow-white confusion.

A clipper has already reported the news to the government. Zhang yunniang and Qu minqiu have already prepared rich food and wine for Li Yuanqing.

However, because it was at night and the weather was very cold, Li Yuanqing did not let them come to meet them in the snow, and arranged the affairs of the fleet and the children. Li Yuanqing directly took Zhao Mei and got into the broad carriage.

In the carriage, several ovens burning fire charcoal, easily drive away the cold outside, and make the inside of the carriage as warm as spring.

Zhao Mei, like a kitten, curled up in Li Yuanqing's side cleverly. Her two tender hands wrapped tightly around Li Yuanqing's solid arms.

However, her delicate face, the mood does not seem to be too good.

It's about ten minutes' walk from the wharf to the official hall, which has already been paved with cement. Although there is still a slight bump on it, it is not serious. It is very rhythmic. On the contrary, it is more artistic than the luxury cars of later generations.

Li Yuanqing naturally noticed the pity on Zhao Mei's pretty face, and a soft smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "what's the matter? When I go home, I'm afraid of my hometown? "

"Ah?"

Zhao Mei regained her consciousness for a moment. Her pretty face turned red and said, "my Lord, no But, ye, back to the house, Xiaomei, Xiaomei can no longer be like on a boat I've served you like that... "

Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing. He took her into his arms and said with a smile: "what? Do you want to dominate for a long time

Zhao Mei's pretty face suddenly became more red, "Er'an" Jiao Chen said: "Ye You, you are dead... "

Li Yuanqing laughed. For a moment, she stretched out her finger and provoked Zhao Mei's delicate chin.

Zhao Mei didn't dare to look at Li Yuanqing's eyes. Her pretty face had already been ruddy, and her long eyelashes blinked and twinkled, which was more beautiful than before.

Li Yuanqing was also a bit stunned. No wonder later generations said, "women are made of water.".

Only with men's careful "nourishment", can they blossom into the most beautiful bloom.

Unfortunately, there are too many women, which is not a good thing

As the old saying goes, "only tired cattle, no worse land..."

Thanks to Li Yuanqing's talent, he has always been at the top of the list. He eats and drinks well and practices hard every day. Otherwise, it would be too much to eat.

Li Yuanqing can't help but think of the little emperor Tianqi I'm afraid most of the ten emperors of Daming died on the pills of this pit father.

It seems that among the sons of heaven in Daming, only Taizu Laozhu lived the longest, more than 60 or more than 70.

I'm afraid that only Zhu, who started from the bottom, knows more about what is enough to protect his body.

At this time, looking at Zhao Mei's pretty face, Li Yuanqing could not help it for a moment, and almost had the impulse to bring Zhao Mei to justice.

Originally, Li Yuanqing had not found out. When he really developed Zhao Mei, it became clear that this little girl was really "gifted". It was her "sister-in-law" Zhang die, and she was definitely not her opponent

"Girl, do you like to be rude or gentle..."

Li Yuanqing holds Zhao Mei in his arms with a smile.

"My lord You are dead However, you, how do you treat Xiaomei Xiaomei likes... "

When the carriage heard the entrance of the hall, both of them had already cleaned up.After Yang Lei asked for instructions, he carefully helped Li Yuanqing open the curtain of the carriage. The guards and slaves at the door fell to the ground one after another. Li Yuanqing walked into the Grand Hall gate with a golden sword.

In the official hall, a feast has been prepared.

Because it's winter, it's impossible to stir fry the dishes directly, because they will soon cool down, and they are stewed in large pots, which can be heated with heat preservation. As for the side dishes, it's natural to wait for Li Yuanqing to come back.

Led by Zhang yunniang, Qu minqiu, Yang Jiao Niang and Zhang Baozhu, dozens of Li Yuanqing's wives and concubines came to see you in turn.

I dare not kowtow to his brother Li Gongqing.

Ruyi has been more than three years old, and ran to Li Yuanqing in front of her, "Daddy, daddy hugging."

Although Fangxin is still not easy to walk, but to see her sister like this, there is also a kind of learning to run over, murmured not clear way: "Dad Dad Hold... "

Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing, one in each hand, picked up the two little girls, and gave them a kiss on their small faces, "two little beauties, do you miss Dad?"

"Yes."

"You little girls, don't you see that your father hasn't sat down yet. Come here. "

When Li Yuanqing came back, the smile on Zhang yunniang's pretty face could not be concealed. She hurried over to take over Fangxin, and Qu minqiu also came quickly. Li Yuanqing, who was full of amorous feelings, took over Ruyi.

But the two little girls didn't do it. They turned cloudy and cried.

Li Yuanqing had no choice but to hold the two girls and sit on his throne laughing.

Four Lang is still under three years old, staring at Li Yuanqing holding up his sister and sister, but there is nothing wrong with him. He can't help but ask the elder brother Li Dingbei: "big brother, why, why doesn't dad come to hold us?"

Li Dingbei, accompanied by his small face, snorted coldly: "little four, because Ruyi and Fangxin are women, and we are men. A man, of course, can't be held by his father. "

"Oh..."

Four Lang seems to understand some, but also seems to completely do not understand, envious looking at Ruyi and Fangxin direction.

Li Dingbei shook his head like an adult and sighed. His brother, who is three years old, is still like a baby.

When Li Yuanqing came back, the banquet would begin soon.

Several big pot stewed cattle, sheep, chicken and duck, seafood abalone, flying in the sky, climbing on the ground, swimming in the water, everything.

With so many children, the atmosphere in the hall soon became warm.

Zhao Mei at this time, although in a humble corner, but her pretty face, but has been hanging a faint smile, small hands, gently stroking her smooth flat abdomen.

Such lovely children, she should have them soon.

After a dinner for more than an hour, the children fell asleep against their mother's arms, and Li Yuanqing also had five or six points of wine, and then he dispersed.

According to the Convention, after waiting for a long time, Shang Laoliu and Ma housekeeper quickly came to the inner study to report to Li Yuanqing on the specific work of these days and the island.

Although the concubines are scattered, but Zhang yunniang, Qu minqiu, Yang Jiao ~ Niang and Zhang Baozhu are left. In the compartment of the inner study, they listen to the report of the sixth merchant and the housekeeper Ma to Li Yuanqing.

"Yuanqing, the work on the island has been very smooth recently, and there are basically no major twists and turns. The monthly profit of our government is about 300000 Liang. Of course, this is not the business outside Shanghai. If we include the overseas business and the war dividends, we can conservatively estimate that our annual net profit is more than 10 million taels of silver. Yuanqing, I have discussed with Lao Ma for a long time. We have already established the bank. "

Shang Laoliu's words are full of confidence and glowing.

It's not that he is a businessman.

According to the profit scale of Changsheng island at this time, the annual revenue and tax revenue of the whole country will not be more concession.

Even more than that.

Although he is only an adjunct General of Changsheng Island, he actually controls more wealth than the big men of the six departments.

How can this guy have no confidence?

The housekeeper added with a smile, "general. Shangye is right. At this time, our cashier is also very well staffed. There are more than 600 bookkeepers on the register alone, nearly 700. This does not include those new Bookkeepers who came from all over the country after we got the news of our recruitment. general. In particular, many of them have been operating in Shanxi people's Bank for many years. They admire your reputation and want to improve their own treatment. "

"They are very proficient in the business of ticket companies, especially in the hands of many people. They have many customers, even big customers. General, as long as we have our ticket number, oh, no, it's the banks that open up and set up branches in the capital, Zhangjiakou and Nanjing. Those old Xi'er vinegar jars in Shanxi can't have done us any more! "
