With so much foreshadowing, the curtain is about to open.

I beg for all kinds of support, thank you very much Xiaochuan.

~~~~~~~

The pungent smell of blood has not completely dissipated, attracting a group of gray vultures on the beach, circling back and forth overhead.

Looking at the belongings counted by the soldiers, Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile bitterly.

As expected, the oil and water supply in this salt farm is really low. Even if the money is fully calculated, the payment for the goods for the past half month is less than 700 taels. Fortunately, 6,700 taels of broken silver were collected from several stewards of the salt farm. Otherwise, this would have been impossible.

One trip was a complete failure.

At this time, Shunzi came to report that there seemed to be salt coolies coming to work in the distance.

Li Yuanqing nodded, "Let's go." After saying that, he winked at Shang Laoliu.

Shang Laoliu understood and left in a hurry.

…………

Behind him, fierce fires ignited and smoke rose into the sky. Although the salt field was on the seaside, there were several dense forests nearby. Looking at this situation, it would soon ignite.

The power of nature will soon bury everything that just happened in the dust of history.

In the cabin, Shang Laoliu blamed himself, "Yuanqing, I, I really didn't expect that these North Koreans are so poor. Hey, there are several salt fields around, otherwise, we would just cook it all in one pot."

Shang Laoliu showed a fierce expression.

Li Yuanqing smiled and patted Shang Laoliu on the shoulder, "Brother Shang, once is enough for this kind of thing. Although the money is not much this time, it is barely enough to support us for a while. We still have to think about other things later.

method."

This is already a large salt field in North Korea, but its flowing water...

I'm afraid this is not as good as the small family-style workshops in the Jianghuai area of ​​Ming Dynasty.

The land and water in the Zhenjiang area is really not easy to support people.

When we got back to the station, it was already dark.

If he followed the route, he could rush back to the base in the afternoon, but Li Yuanqing deliberately stayed on the sea for a while to avoid suspicion.

Now that the matter has come to this, Li Yuanqing estimates that this matter will soon be on Mao Wenlong's desk.

On our side, we must speed up our response measures.

If the North Koreans really want to keep fighting, then Li Yuanqing will have no choice but to deny it.

However, these more than one thousand taels of silver are really hot and cannot be spent for the time being. Fortunately, Li Yuanqing still has more than four thousand taels of silver notes, which can be used for emergencies. Considering the current vassal relationship between North Korea and the Ming Dynasty, here

Large commercial banks should be able to buy accounts from Shanxi merchants.

Back at the camp, Li Yuanqing handed Shang Laoliu two thousand taels of silver notes and ordered him to take people to Tieshan City to buy food. At this point, he could only drink poison to quench his thirst.

Originally, if things went well, Li Yuanqing planned to give some benefits to the soldiers who went to war this time, but now it seems that he can only wait for the time being.

Shang Laoliu had no time to rest and rushed to Tieshan City with his people overnight. Li Yuanqing was also thinking carefully about the way forward.

As the saying goes, ‘It’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice’.

Even though Li Yuanqing is a reborn person and has explosive knowledge that transcends this world for hundreds of years, this land is vast and sparsely populated, and its population and wealth are too barren. There are also powerful enemies like Hou Jin and powerful bosses like Mao Wenlong. Li Yuanqing

I couldn't let go for a while.

After thinking about it, Li Yuanqing understood that in this situation, the best way was to use external force.

Also, someone must go to Yizhou and Longchuan to manage the back roads of Zhenjiang, but this person must not be Li Yuanqing.

In the final analysis, Li Yuanqing is still too junior and has a low official position. He did not manage the tasks assigned by Mao Wenlong well in this trip, and his points will definitely drop. At this time, the main force under Mao Wenlong is in full swing. Li Yuanqing must find a way to jump out of this stagnant water and follow

Mao Wenlong's main force is mixed with merit.

After all, although the Ming Dynasty is in decline, it is still a behemoth. Without Mao Wenlong at the front, a small fish like Li Yuanqing would not have any chance.

But~~, Chen Jisheng’s side...

"Sir, you have had a hard day. Can Cai Zi wash your feet?" At this time, Cai Zi walked in carefully carrying a basin of hot water.

Looking at Caizi's pretty face, Li Yuanqing felt a little relieved.

Influenced by the culture of the Ming Dynasty, the gentleness of women in the island country is even greater than that of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Yuanqing's unintentional choice made him pick up a treasure.

"Cai Zi, have you eaten today?" Li Yuanqing sat on the chair and let Cai Zi wash his feet.

Caizi smiled and said, "It's okay. Wang Hai brought me a big fish. Master, Caizi will make fish soup for you tomorrow. It's the flavor of our Japanese country."

Li Yuanqing suddenly remembered, "Caizi, can you make sashimi?"

Caiko was stunned, "Master, sashimi? What is sashimi?"

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile. It was only the end of the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese country had not yet been westernized. Naturally, such a thing would not appear.

After washing her feet, Caizi's pretty face became increasingly red.

Li Yuanqing also felt hot in her heart, but in this important military camp, Li Yuanqing still wanted to maintain her authority and sanctity.

"Caizi, let's go, I will take you to the boat for a walk."

Of course Caizi understood what Li Yuanqing meant, and quickly lowered her head and followed Li Yuanqing.

…………

In the evening, the fleet docked at a temporary dock on the coast. Except for some of the sailors who had to stay overnight, the rest went to shore camps to rest.

After finding a small boat and driving away the sailors, Li Yuanqing took possession of the small boat in a grand manner.

In the cabin, Li Yuanqing's expression was a little fierce, as if he wanted to vent all his unhappiness during this period.

Caizi also knew that this was no place, so she could only try her best to cater to Li Yuanqing and not let herself make a sound.

After the storm, Li Yuanqing gently held Cai Zi's little hand and said apologetically: "Cai Zi, I'm sorry."

But Cai Zi smiled and said, "No, sir, you don't have to tell me this. In fact, Cai Zi likes it very much."

Li Yuanqing was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but smile. It's hard to say whether the inheritance of the Japanese country is good or bad.

However, looking at Caizi's pretty face, Li Yuanqing suddenly thought of an idea in his mind, "Caizi, it turns out that when you were following Miao Yizhen, I remember that there were several pretty girls."

Cai Zi was stunned, "Master, are there anyone you are worried about?"

Li Yuanqing nodded, and held Cai Zi's slender waist with his big hands, "There are people who care about you, but they are not for me. I am very satisfied with you serving me. Cai Zi, they are still in Zhenjiang now. Do you know any of them well?"

?I will give her a path to wealth. But she also has to do something for me."

Caizi nodded hurriedly, "Sir, Miao Yizhen's Ninth Lady is from North Korea and was an orphan since she was a child. She is very close to me. She is also the most beautiful, but she is a little thinner. At that time, none of the three of you chose her.

.I can go find her."

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be overjoyed, and kissed Cai Zi's pretty face hard, "Cai Zi, if this happens, I will record a great achievement for you."

…………

Chen Jisheng is very proud of himself recently.

After persuading Liu Aita, thousands of soldiers and civilians in Jinzhou were gained for nothing. At this time, the main force of Jinzhou was defeated on the northern front, and six or seven hundred people were beheaded. Although he did not participate in the battle of Zhenjiang City, this did not affect him at all.

The top position in Mao Wenlong's heart.

Regardless of military and government affairs, Mao Wenlong's first thought was always him.

And as these achievements were reported to the court, Mao Wenlong's situation was rising, and he, a guerrilla, would never be able to escape.

It's a pity that in this spring breeze, no one can share the joy in his heart. I have to say that this is a big regret.

Returning to the military camp, Chen Jisheng suddenly received a report from his own soldiers that someone was looking for him outside.

Chen Jisheng couldn't help but be stunned. Who would be looking for him at this time?

After thinking carefully, maybe some wealthy gentleman wanted to join him, Chen Jisheng took off his military uniform, put on a blue cloth robe, and came outside the camp.

To his surprise, the person who came was actually Li Yuanqing.

"Yuan Qing, aren't you in Tieshan? Why did you come here?" Chen Jisheng seemed a little unhappy.

Li Yuanqing hurriedly said: "Brother, this is not the place to talk. Let's go to a restaurant to eat and talk."

Who is Chen Jisheng? In an instant, he understood that Li Yuanqing must be asking for something from him, so he did not refuse and nodded calmly.

When we arrived at the private room of the restaurant, the table was already filled with sumptuous dishes.

Zhenjiang City can be said to be the core of the lower reaches of the Yalu River. There are many wealthy gentry. As long as you have money, life may not be much worse than those in the big cities in Liaoning. Moreover, because it is close to the sea, the seafood is much fresher than inland.

Looking at the dishes on the table, a smile appeared on Chen Jisheng's face. I'm afraid it would cost 5 taels of silver.

The two of them exchanged glasses and exchanged courtesies. They were both feeling drunk. Li Yuanqing smiled and clapped his hands. At this time, a petite but extremely beautiful woman walked in from the door lightly.

She actually came to Chen Jisheng's side and said deeply, "I have seen you before."

Chen Jisheng was stunned and immediately understood what Li Yuanqing meant, "Yuan Qing, what does this mean?"

Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "Brother, you and I are brothers. I won't hide anything from you. This woman was left behind when I wiped out Miao Yizhen last time. At that time, Chen Zhong and Zhang Pan were one of me. She was also the most beautiful among them.
