A few days later, Cheng Huailiang and his team bid farewell to Li Keyiyi at Shanghai Wharf, and then boarded a steamboat to go south again. After arriving in Taiwan, Li Yan was naturally ecstatic and also set up a banquet in the mansion, so he would not be drunk with Cheng Huailiang and the others.

Return.

At the banquet, Li Yan talked to Cheng Huailiang and others about the development of Taiwan and other regions over the years, as well as some political and military situations, while Cheng Huailiang and others talked to Li Yan about their experiences in the military academy and the army over the years.

Especially the real situation of the battle to destroy Xue Yantuo, which also opened Li Yan's eyes.

Next, Li Yan arranged for Cheng Huailiang and his friends to visit various places in Taiwan, especially the garrisons and navies from all over the country, which was the focus of their visit, because Li Yan wanted them to understand the situation of Taiwan's military and political system first, and then make their own choices.

.As for the female relatives such as Gao Yang and Qinghe, Wen Xin and the others helped to entertain them.

It is also worth mentioning that Chou Chou and Mo Qing, who is younger than her, hit it off at first sight. The two were cousins, but now I have a great relationship. I often bully Li Qi, Li Mian and others together, and they look like they are all in one go.

The appearance of the eldest sister's head makes Li Yan sometimes worried that they will not get married when they grow up.

After a period of understanding, Cheng Huailiang and the others finally made their own choices because they were all from the military academy, so everyone still chose to enter the army, including Cheng Huailiang, Qin Huaiyu, Fang Yiai and others.

They all chose to go directly to the army, and their positions were temporarily designated as lieutenants. After all, they are all graduates of Chang'an Military Academy and have experience in joining the army. Such talents are really scarce under Li Yan.

In addition, Li Yexu and a few guys who like to challenge themselves chose to enter the Navy. Of course, they must enter Taiwan's Naval Academy to study in advance, and then enter the Navy to start from scratch. Although they will suffer a little at the beginning. However, in the future, their development will be in the future.

The prospects are very wonderful. After all, in comparison, Li Yan's naval status is indeed higher than that of the army, and it is more respected by the people.

However, whether it is the Navy or the Army, with the joining of Cheng Huailiang and others, the strength of the army in Li Yan will undoubtedly reach a higher level. After all, there were too few generals who could stand alone in the past. Although Taiwan also opened a military academy, it has been ten years.

I'm afraid there will be no special talents, and Cheng Huailiang and others can just fill this gap, and maybe there will be handsome talents like Li Jing and Li Xiaogong among them.

A few days later, Cheng Huailiang and others took office one after another, and most of their families followed. After all, there is no big battle yet. The troops in various places are stationed regularly. Officers can take their families to take office, and the army will do it.

They arranged special officer residences, where officers would live, unless they encountered war, there would be orders to transfer them to war. Usually, they would train troops.

However, some women did not leave with their husbands, but chose to settle their home in Keelung. On the one hand, Keelung is more prosperous, and on the other hand, their children are older. Accepting education in Keelung is obviously better than other places, and their social interactions are also good.

It is wider, so the couple has to separate.

Qinghe and Gao Yang also stayed in Keelung. They came for the sake of their children. Secondly, they had not seen each other for many years, so they wouldn't say anything else. Li Yan wouldn't let them go so easily, after all, no matter what, he was

When Qinghe and Gao Yang's brother were in Chang'an, except for Yizi, they counted the closest of these two sisters. How could they leave as soon as they came to Taiwan?

After sending Cheng Huailiang and the others away, Qinghe and Gaoyang often walked around Li Yan's mansion. It was already early winter. Although the winter in Taiwan is not very cold, it was still a little cold in the morning and evening. If you accidentally catch a cold, you might catch a cold.

This year, there is a lot of rain. Even though it is so cold, it still rains frequently. This wet and cold weather makes people feel very distressing.

However, this torture finally passed. Starting yesterday afternoon, the gloomy clouds in the sky finally dissipated, and the sun was revealed again. After half a day of exposure, the next day, the water on the ground was much less, and in the air

There is a refreshing smell after the rain.

It is rare to encounter such good weather, and today is another tenth day, so the children like Chou Chou and others don’t have to go to school, and even Li Yan has a rare time to stay at home, so in the end Wen Xin will make Qinghe, Gao Yang, and their

Several children were invited, including Qinghe, one daughter and two sons, Mo Qing is the eldest daughter, while Gao Yang only has one son, but just two months ago, she was diagnosed with pregnancy, and it has been four months now.

Yes, his lower abdomen has already bulged, which is one of the reasons why Gao Yang did not leave with Fang Yiai.

The reason why Li Yan stayed at home when he was free was mainly because the plague in Java had been controlled. Yifan and Wang An were responsible for the promotion of steamships. He didn't have to worry about it at all. As for America, with the second new route

More and more people have gone to Taobao there, and some people have even brought back a lot of gold. In addition to one Lu Wan Port, there are several other ports under construction in the Americas. It can be said that they are all improving.

Development on one hand.

However, it is not the time to develop the Americas on a large scale. First, Nanyang is still developing rapidly, and second, the number of Han people in various parts of Taiwan is still too small, which is not enough to support the huge population demand for the development of the Americas.

It is precisely because of this that Li Yan temporarily puts this matter aside and also has time to accompany his family.

Chou Chou and Mo Qing insisted on going to the zoo to play. This zoo was built by Li Yan privately, and it raises various animals transported from the Tang Dynasty, Nanyang, Australia and other places. Especially some time ago,

, a group of very novel animals were transported from America, and they had not visited Chou Chou yet, so they took advantage of this good weather to clamor for going there.

Li Yan naturally would not refuse the children's request, but because Gao Yang was pregnant, Wen Xin stayed with Qinghe to chat with her, and Li Yan took a group of children to the zoo to play.

The zoo is built in the eastern suburbs of Keelung City, covering a large area. It is divided into several areas according to the areas promulgated by the animals, such as the Central Plains, Nanyang, America, etc. However, as soon as Chou Chou and others entered the zoo

, immediately rushed towards the Americas.

Today is just the day of the day, and there are many people visiting the zoo, especially some children, accompanied by their parents, run around and drill around, holding snacks such as cotton candies, candied haws, etc., and from time to time

A crisp laughter.

Li Yan now has five children. In addition to Chou Chou, Li Qi and Li Mian, Meng Xue also gave birth to a daughter for him three years ago, named Bingxi, and Wen Xin finally got pregnant again two years ago.

As a result, he has a daughter named Youlan, who is only over one year old now, but Youlan is too young, so she didn't come this time. It is also worth mentioning that in addition to Chou and Chou, Kim Seung-man and Wen

My son was pregnant almost at the same time. It is estimated that by the next year, Li Yan would have seven children.

Li Yan's four children, plus three from Qinghe and one from Gaoyang's family, combined with eight children, you can guess how troublesome it is without thinking, although each child has more than two maids around him.

They looked at it, but they always liked to pester Li Yan and ask questions. Of course, this is also related to the fact that Li Yan knew more about many animals.

After looking around in the Americas, the one who impressed Li Yan the most was the big turkey. However, when he saw the turkey, he thought about plucking away the turkey's feathers and then oozing his stomach.

The various fruits were stuffed into it and roasted in the stove. This was a famous dish in later generations, but unfortunately he had never tasted it.

Since he came to the zoo, he naturally couldn't just go around the Americas, so he took the children to visit several other areas. However, in comparison, there were more people in the Americas, after all, people like to watch it.

A novelty.

When he finally left the zoo, the zoo director who had been with Li Yan gave a gift to Chou Chou's children. These gifts were a group of cute little animals born this year, such as Yi from the south of the Tang Dynasty.

Although the pandas sent to the state and sloths from Australia are different, they are all born not long ago and are very cute.

The entire zoo was built by Li Yan privately, so the animals in the zoo are equivalent to his private property, so it is natural that the principal of the zoo gave away a few small animals. Li Yan began to feel that it was a bit bad.

However, when they saw Chou Chou and the others looking at the little stars, their hearts felt soft. In addition, the pandas of this era are not precious animals, so they took them away.

However, he did not forget to remind the people in the zoo to deliver the food of these animals to a few children every day. If they have any illness, they need to treat them. After all, they are still a small life, especially a few children.

They all like it so much. If they are accidentally raised to death, it will make them sad.

In the end, Li Yan brought eight children, and each child held a pet he chose. For example, Bing Xi and Qing He's youngest sons all chose a little panda, while Li Qi and Gao Yang's sons all chose a little panda.

A little leopard, a pet that is very popular among the noble men of the Tang Dynasty. After raising it, it can help the owner hunt. As for the two elder sisters Chou and Mo Qing, they actually chose one male and one female.

The two little tigers even made an appointment to raise the tigers and let them get married and have another nest of tigers to play with, which made Li Yan laugh and cry.

However, the animals they selected were only kept for a while when they were young. Once these animals grew up, Li Yan would not be assured to let them stay with these ferocious beasts. They would definitely be kept by some servants.

At most, they just go and check it out when they think about it.
