In a blink of an eye, the time has entered November.

During this period, under Li Yuanqing's personal supervision, the storage of dried sweet potatoes on Changsheng Island went very smoothly. Preliminary estimates indicate that the storage capacity of dried sweet potatoes will be around 1.5 million kilograms.

To this, we add the output of wheat and corn, the output of poultry and livestock, the output of fisheries, and also include the grain and grass reserves purchased from outside.

In the sixth year of Tianqi, even if the war lasted for half a year or even ten months, Li Yuanqing had sufficient capital to cope with it.

What made Li Yuanqing even more happy was that Nian'er and Rainbow Girl gave birth to a daughter and a son for Li Yuanqing one after another. Li Yuanqing already had six sons at this time, his children were prosperous, and the centripetal force on the island was also more abundant.

At the same time, the 'Vaccinium Pox Working Group', which rushed from Nanjing to the capital and then from the capital to Changsheng Island, also officially settled on the island. They will first conduct training for military doctors and female guards in a fully enclosed military camp.

Li Yuanqing also plans that in the next few years, all newborns on Changsheng Island will be vaccinated against cowpox.

In fact, Li Yuanqing has been thinking about research on vaccines for newborns prone to diseases such as hepatitis B and meningitis. However, the medical conditions at this time are limited, and Li Yuanqing does not have many good ways. He can only improve the quality of life on the island as much as possible.

people’s living standards.

On the other hand, we also continue to increase strict requirements and publicity on health work.

Ensure that there is no environment for the breeding and spread of epidemic diseases in Changsheng Island.

However, the news is not all good news.

In the study room, looking at the intelligence that had just been sent from Liaoxi, Li Yuanqing couldn't help but frowned tightly and fell into deep thought.

It is no different from the development in history.

Gaudi, a "conservative" leader from the Eunuch Party, soon started his "three fires" after taking office as the Liao Territory manager.

The first is the denial of Sun Chengzong's military layout in the entire Liao region.

Originally, when Sun Chengzong took office, the Ming army's defense line in western Liaoning was once pushed to Jinzhou and the Daling River line, and the ambition to regain Hexi was clearly visible.

But Gaudi was obviously not interested in this. The first thing he did after taking office was to shrink the defense line and dismantle armaments. He even wanted to abandon Jinzhou for a time and gather the Ming army's defense line to the south of Xiaoling River.

Fortunately, the people in Liaoxi were not all idlers after all. When their vital interests were involved, they also launched a fierce confrontation with Gao Di.

In the end, due to pressure from all sides, Gaudi had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​abandoning Jinzhou and acquiesced to the "stronghold defense" strategy of the Liaoxi generals.

Holding the information in his hand, Li Yuanqing didn't know what to feel in his heart.

Orders are changed in the morning and in the evening, just watch the flowers at a glance.

What legitimacy does the Ming Dynasty have?

How do the people of the world view this?

such a pity!

Under this general trend, even if Li Yuanqing was unhappy, he could not exert much force.

After all, this world is still a world for literati.

How much experience does Gaudi have as a big boss?

Even if he, Li Yuanqing, was a mere martial artist with some modest achievements, how could he possibly be on par with the voice of a big man like Gaudi?

However, Gaudi has never taken any action on Liaonan and Liaodong. When he took office, he sent an official letter to Liaonan and Liaodong, saying only that he would have time for Li Yuanqing to "check in" in western Liaoning, but he did not

Any substantive instructions.

It can be seen that this old man is not too confused when it comes to the core of rights.

But Li Yuanqing also understood clearly that if Gaudi wanted to seize power in western Liaoning and control the situation in the shortest possible time, he still had to rely on his generals.

As a result, history will inevitably follow the same path!

"What the fuck!"

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but spat hard.

It’s really like the joke from later generations: “If you’re not afraid of opponents who are like gods, you’re afraid of teammates who are like pigs!”

Unfortunately, most of the time, we are always surrounded by teammates who are like pigs...

When things came to this, to be honest, Li Yuanqing really didn't want to meet someone like Gao Di.

However, after all, they are 'colleagues' who belong to the same eunuch party. When the new manager takes office, it is unjustifiable for Li Yuanqing not to meet him and express his position, both emotionally and rationally!

Especially since the Chinese New Year is coming soon, even if no one comes, the gifts will arrive.

Li Yuanqing wanted to rush to Liaoxi now and have a good chat with Gaudi, but after careful consideration, he gave up this idea.

Mainly from Mao Wenlong's side, a letter has been sent, inviting Li Yuanqing to continue to blockade the Sancha River and Liaohe River.

Li Yuanqing thought for a long time, and finally decided to let Kong Youde and Li Sansheng go forward, set up a point near the mouth of the Sancha River, and use cavalry to block the river basin.

It was already winter at this time, and the rivers were frozen, so the power of the Changsheng Camp's fleet could not be exerted to its maximum.

In these days, through various channels, Li Yuanqing has added hundreds of war horses to the Changsheng Camp. It is also time to take these horses out for a ride.

After all, in the Sancha River and Liao River basins, the possibility of encountering the main force of Hou Jin is not high. At most, they will be some armed caravans.

How can these caravans compare with the regular army of Changsheng Battalion?

It would be best to have something to gain. If there is no gain, Li Yuanqing would not be short of this little food and grass, so he can just treat it as military training!

Li Yuanqing also breathed a sigh of relief when he personally signed the order to mobilize troops and quickly circulated the order to the two military camps to let them start preparations.

Originally, Li Yuanqing wanted to go to Japan during this period, but looking at it now, it was too late.

However, Li Yuanqing is not in a hurry. The more stable his lower body is, the more confident he will be when it comes to taking steps forward.

Nowadays, his biggest opponent is Hou Jin. Everything should be focused on dealing with Hou Jin. The HNA issue cannot be rushed at this moment.

After finishing his official duties, Li Yuanqing stretched out tiredly, threw a few charcoal fires into the brazier, came to the bronze mirror, straightened his clothes, and strode out of the door.

As soon as Li Yuanqing went out, Xiao Lian and Xiao He rushed to greet him, "Master, do you want to go out?"

During these days, Li Yuanqing had another small gain, which was that he finally brought Xiao He to his inner study to serve him.

Looking at the two pretty faces in front of him that looked like lotuses, Li Yuanqing smiled: "There is no government business today. You go and clean up. Later, we will go for a walk in the mountains."

"Yes." The two little girls did not dare to neglect and hurriedly went to work.

Seeing the two little oriole-like figures leaving, Li Yuanqing's mood suddenly became much clearer.

Although the road ahead is destined to be difficult, more importantly, we still need to seize the present moment.

I walked around the Political Affairs Office in the front yard and inspected the work here. Shang Laoliu happened to be out, but when he was not here, Butler Ma, Ren Qizhu, and Qi Gang came over to greet them with busy smiles.

"General, we are already busy with the storage of sweet potatoes. When will you have time to inspect them?" Housekeeper Ma said with a smile.

Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "It will get colder in a few days. In the past few days, you must not take the work on the insulation layer of the warehouse. Qizhu, Gangcheng, these matters, you'd better take the time to check them in person.

.”

Ren Qizhu and Qi Gangcheng did not dare to neglect and hurriedly said yes respectfully.

Li Yuanqing walked a few steps and then said: "Guanjia Ma, Kong Youde, and Li Sansheng's military reserves, please arrange them as soon as possible. They will go on an expedition in the next few days, so don't neglect it!"

"Yes!" Butler Ma also nodded quickly.

The group discussed some trivial government affairs. Li Yuanqing smiled and encouraged a few people before returning to the official hall.

When Li Yuanqing was on the island, there were basically one small meeting every three days and one big meeting every ten days, ensuring that all affairs were firmly in Li Yuanqing's hands.

Of course, both Shang Laoliu and Ma Guanjia have the right to meet Li Yuanqing directly. With the support of these two people, Li Yuanqing can better control the overall situation of the island from all aspects.

At this time, Xiaolian and Xiaohe had already packed up, Niu Gensheng was also ready, and the carriage had already driven over.

Li Yuanqing thought for a moment and suddenly smiled: "By the way, call Zhao Mei and Zhang Die too."

Xiaolian couldn't help but pout when she heard this. She really hated the two foxy girls, especially Zhang Die. However, after Li Yuanqing spoke, she had no choice but to go over and call the maid to call someone.

Soon, Zhang Die and Zhao Mei also came over. The group rode in two carriages and headed towards the mountainous area in the southwest, escorted by more than a hundred soldiers.

After more than a year of development, the cement road leading to the south from the city has become quite large. However, due to harvesting sweet potatoes, the project was delayed for more than a month. At this time, the cement road has been laid five miles away.

.

But paving all the main roads on the island with cement roads is still a long and long process.

The mountains on Changsheng Island are not too high or too steep, but they have beautiful scenery and pleasant climate.

At this time, although the weather is a bit cold, it has not yet reached the depths of winter and there is no snow, making it the best time to climb mountains in early winter.

An ancient saying goes: "Climb high and look far."

After tedious government and military affairs, Li Yuanqing also needed some time to calm his heart and clear his mind.

The carriage stopped at the dirt road at the bottom of the mountain, and the supplies were carried by soldiers. Li Yuanqing took four delicate women and started hiking up the mountain.

At this time, although a large number of people have arrived on Changsheng Island, compared with the entire island, this population is really not enough.

Many places on the island are virgin lands that have not been explored by humans, especially the steep peaks.

It took a whole afternoon, with Li Yuanqing and his soldiers leading the way forward, and everyone successfully reached the top of a small mountain peak.

The soldiers began to set up a tent camp, and Niu Gensheng personally led a dozen soldiers to see if there were any fat wild animals in the surrounding woods.

Li Yuanqing and four women stood in front of a huge rock, overlooking the scenery of the entire island through the afterglow of the setting sun.

"Master, look, it's really beautiful!"

"Master, look over there, that's our house! You can also see the rockery!"

"..."

Xiaolian and Xiaohe were both the closest women to Li Yuanqing, so they were naturally very close to Li Yuanqing, as cheerful as two little orioles.

Zhang Die has matured a lot, but seems to be more shy. With her pretty face flushed, she has been standing by Li Yuanqing's side obediently without saying much.

Only Zhao Mei, while looking at Jing'er, sneered at Li Yuanqing's back with disdain.

She really couldn't imagine that such a crude and reckless warrior could actually appreciate the scenery?
