"Brother Ninth, why don't we get stuck in the army? I have shortage of people in everything, so you can help me even if you come out." Li Yan said with concern.

Li Yong in front of him was very different from when he was in Chang'an. He used to be short, but at least he was white and clean. He looked like a little boy, but since he entered the military camp for a few months, he had been half a head, but the whole thing was

But the person became dark and thin, and looked like Wu Nu's twin brother. If he was seen by the Hejian Wang and his wife, Li Xiaogong would not be able to guess what Li Xiaogong reacted, but the Hejian Princess would definitely feel distressed to death.

Beat Li Yan again.

"No, if I withdraw now, wouldn't my suffering in the past few months be in vain?" Li Yong stuffed his elbow into his mouth and said in a vague voice of hatred, "Besides, the real man said something after saying it

, It’s hard to chase after me. Since I said it, I couldn’t underestimate me, especially that bastard Su Dingfang!”

"Hey, Jiuhuang, I remember that you just went in for less than three days, but you were crying and shouting..." Before Yan Bei could finish his words, Li Yong threw a pig bone over. Yan Bei hurriedly avoided it, and the following words were also

I can't say it.

Li Yong grabbed another pig's trotter and said, "I can't wake up those times? If anyone dares to spread it, I will give you endless things!"

Hearing Li Yong's threat, Li Yan and Yan Bei looked at each other and laughed. On the way to Dengzhou, Li Yong was angry with Su Dingfang, and Li Yan's encouragement helped him, and he turned from Dian Jun from the Royal Guards.

A soldier even said that he would be promoted based on his own ability and would definitely surpass Sima Su Dingfang, who is Sima in the future.

Li Yong was indeed very backbone at that time. But sometimes backbone was not necessarily a food. Although he was born in a military general and rode horses and shot arrows with his father since he was a child, he was essentially just a Chang'an city.

The playboy had no suffering at all, so he entered the army for only three days. He could no longer bear it and found an opportunity to escape and ask Li Yan for help.

When Li Yan saw Li Yong's pitiful look of tears, he wanted Li Yong to get rid of his military status. But as the saying goes, the military gate is as deep as the sea, Su Dingfang told Li Yan that he would never be able to enter the army.

There is no such thing as quitting halfway. If Li Yong insists on quitting, then he will be a deserter and he will be killed according to the law!

Military law is ruthless, and even Li Yan has no choice but to have no choice. In the end, Li Yong could only follow Su Dingfang back to the army with tears in his eyes, but he escaped seven days later, then went back, and then ran...

It can be said that in the first two months, Li Yong has never stopped. If it weren't for the sharp blade of military law hanging above his head, he would have been unable to hold on. However, after two months, Li Yong's life in the military was

Finally got used to it, and never escaped to complain to Li Yan. During this period, Li Yan also secretly visited him. He found that the boy was shirtless and was practicing in the martial arts field with a group of military men, although his skin was red.

His face was mud and dirt, and he was washed out of the ravines by sweat. He was struggling on the ground like others, but he did not scream bitterly.

"Ninth brother. I remember that the food of the royal guards is good, and they have meat every meal. Why are you like a starving ghost now? It seems like you have never eaten in eight lifetimes?" Li Yan looked at him and had been eating voraciously for nearly a quarter of an hour

, and Li Yong, who showed no sign of stopping, asked with confusion. Today, Li Yong did not sneak out, but he happened to take a break, but when he arrived at Li Yan's mansion, he immediately asked Li Yan to prepare wine and food.

He will have a good meal today before going back.

"Don't mention it. According to regulations, we ordinary guards have two kilograms of mutton a day, as well as vegetables and staple foods. It should be good, but you don't know that the guys who cook are not good at all.

Make it, chop the meat and vegetables and throw them into the pot. As long as it is cooked, it tastes either lacking salt or oil, which is almost the same as dog food." Li Yong gnawed a bone stick while looking sad and angry

Said.

"I won't say it anymore. It's disgusting to mention that thing. Don't bother me, I'll take it for a while!" Li Yong took two sips of juice and pressed it down, and after that, he started to work hard.

Seeing that he was attentive to food, Li Yan stopped caring about him and turned to Yan Bei and asked, "Brother Yan, the test ship of Galen and the ferry boat will be built soon, and the operation method is also being sorted out.

Among them, now is the one who is missing your test sailing."

Li Yan asked someone to build these two types of ships, and I won’t mention the long-distance ocean in the future. What he wants to change the most now is the near-sea navigation of sea transportation. Now sea ships are all along the coast, and the routes of ships are extremely limited. Some places can be

Walking straight through the ocean saves a lot of time and money, but it is restricted by the performance of the sea ship and is simply not feasible.

For example, from Li Yan's Dengzhou to Silla, you can clearly reach it through the Yellow Sea, but now you have to go from Dengzhou to Bohai Bay to Goguryeo, and then along the coast to Silla. This journey is not only several times longer, but it costs

I won’t talk about the time. The most annoying thing is that I have to pay taxes in coastal ports such as Goguryeo, which has caused the cost of shipping to rise rapidly and contributed a lot of money to the other party. This is what Li Yan doesn’t want to see the most

of.

"Don't worry, Liulang, you've found someone long ago. After all, you said that as long as the trial is successful and you can find a new route to Silla, Baekje and Japan. Not only will you send both ships to each other, but they will also go back to the future.

If you want to build a ship, you will get a 20% discount. This condition has attracted a lot of people!" Yan Bei said with a smile.

Li Yan was quite relieved about Yan Bei. Speaking of Yan Bei, this guy is actually a talented person. Although he is half-toned in government affairs, he is very proficient in industrial and commercial affairs, so Li Yan has done everything he wants

The use of political affairs was handed over to Zhao Fu, while the chief minister of Yanbei was equivalent to the later minister of industry and commerce, specializing in industrial and commercial taxation, but this guy had a problem with his character and used his power to seek personal gain from time to time to reveal something to his Yan family.

Internal information, fortunately, he was very sensible and revealed some irrelevant things. Moreover, he could do the serious matters that Li Yan told him very well, so Li Yan didn't care about his selfishness, and even looked at him.

Come on, it is better for people to have selfishness, otherwise they will do everything like a saint, so Li Yan really dare not trust it.

"Oh, who are those people? Are they in Dengzhou now?" Li Yan wanted to learn more.

"I don't know who those are, but I just shipped a batch of silk from the south. I also looked at the leaders, and it seems that they are not good at it, but I don't care. Anyway, we are just looking for someone to test the boat, and we have to do it in advance.

Pay the deposit, and you are not afraid of them running away." Although Yan Bei's words were not clearly stated, Li Yan could guess that the other party was probably a pirate, but there is no obvious boundary between the sea merchants and pirates in the Tang Dynasty now, and

If they were really professional pirates, Li Yan would be even more relieved, because these outlaws were extremely brave and they dared to go places that others dared not go, and it was just that people like them needed to complete the development of new routes.

"Well, I want to meet them. When will it be appropriate?" Li Yan asked after thinking about it.

"This is easy to deal with. If you have time, I will let them come this afternoon." Yan Beiman said indifferently. It was just a few maritime merchants or pirates. As the chief of a state, he really didn't watch it.

In the eyes.

"Okay, let's just be this afternoon!" Li Yan was free every day anyway. He, the governor, was just busy for a few days and then grasped the general direction. Naturally, his subordinates would do everything else. If he had experienced everything himself, he would have seen it.

If so, it would definitely be a fool's fighter.

Li Yong ate the sea for a long time, and finally stopped satisfied and then asked him to pack the unfinished dishes, saying that he wanted to take them back to the brothers in the military camp, so that they could also try the chef of the Prince Qi Mansion.

Craftsmanship. After all, he ate less than one-third of the dishes on this big table, and it would be a pity to throw away the rest.

Li Yan and Yan Bei looked at Li Yong who had gone away with a big bag. Both of them looked at each other and smiled. Li Yong has become completely different. Let's not talk about the rest for the time being, Li Yong was the first to be a wise man.

He won't pack leftovers and give them to others. In his mind, there is no word for waste. Anyway, he has money, so he can do whatever he wants. But now he knows that waste is shameful and knows to cherish food. It seems that this army

Zhong is indeed a place where stubborn stones can be ground into beautiful jade.

After seeing off Li Yonghou, Li Yan discussed with Yanbei another emerging food processing factory in Dengzhou. At the beginning, Li Yan took the lead and opened the largest canning factory, which specializes in the processing and production of canned sea fish, fruits and other cans.

As soon as this can was born, it was immediately sought after by countless merchants. Almost before the can was released, people had already ordered it first. When others saw that the cans were so popular, they naturally became a little bit interested. In addition, Li Yan

Take the opportunity to publish the list and allow others to open a canning factory. As long as you pay a patent fee, you can get the method of making canned food.

As soon as this matter was announced, it immediately attracted strong interest from the local wealthy people in Dengzhou. They invested in and set up factories. The canning technology was not valuable at all. Glass bottles were the key, because no matter who opened the canning factory, they had to go from the glass factory of Li Yan.

Customized bottles, so Li Yan also made a fortune.

As there are many canned factories, some other food processing factories have appeared in Dengzhou, such as salted fish production factories, dry goods factories, sea vegetable factories, etc. Of course, these factories have fewer and not much, and the most are canned factories.

However, with the increase in factories, some problems also arise, such as deducting workers' labor, poor food quality, etc. Based on some experience in later generations, Li Yan put forward some feasible opinions or suggestions based on Yanbei's understanding of the industry.

In the afternoon, Yanbei asked someone to bring those "maritime merchants" who were trying the boat to meet Li Yan. However, as soon as these maritime merchants entered the hall, more than a dozen guards around Li Yan suddenly "Cangguan Cang~" all

Pull out the horizontal knife and Li Yan, who was nervous, protected him. (To be continued)
