After dinner, he played with Li Dingbei and Erlang in the yard for a while. Li Yuanqing was about to rest with his wife and children in his arms, but a maid came over to report it, and Shang Laoliu asked to see him.

Based on Shang Laoliu's temperament, he must have known that Li Yuanqing was also very busy in the back house after he came back, but since he came back at this time, he must have something important to do.

Li Yuanqing did not dare to neglect and quickly came to the official hall.

Shang Laoliu saluted Li Yuanqing and said with a wry smile: "Yuan Qing, coming here so late will disturb your rest, right?"

Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "It's okay. Brother Shang, is there something wrong?"

Although he had consumed a lot of energy with his wives and was a little tired physically, the familiar comfort and satisfaction at home kept Li Yuanqing in great spirits.

Shang Laoliu nodded, leaned into Li Yuanqing's ear, and whispered a few words in a low voice.

Li Yuanqing's brows couldn't help but frown slightly. After a moment, he said coldly: "What does Wei Liang mean?"

Shang Laoliu said: "Yuan Qing, Wei Liang is undecided now and is waiting for your words."

Li Yuanqing nodded, and suddenly sneered, "Do you really think he is a human being, just a barbarian? Go tell Wei Liang, if he continues to make trouble, just throw this bastard into the sea and feed it to the sharks!"

"this……"

Shang Laoliu was speechless and hurriedly whispered: "Yuanqing, Burhanggu is also a powerful person in the Yehe tribe. This..."

Li Yuanqing sneered and said: "He wants to serve me, but he is not qualified yet. Let's do it like this!"

Shang Laoliu understood that Li Yuanqing had made up his mind and nodded quickly, "Yuan Qing, wait for me here. I'll go over and take a look right away."

Seeing Shang Laoliu leave quickly, Li Yuanqing's eyes narrowed slightly.

Burhang Gu is quite clever and wants to stay on Changsheng Island, but he still has illusions about the remnants of the Ye He tribe.

But at this time, Wei Liang already knew about this matter, so how could Li Yuanqing get into trouble with these people?

In the past, Ye Hebu might have been of some value to him, but at this time, Shu Luohuan had already established a foothold in Xihaerwei, and Burhanggu still wanted to put forward conditions. Isn't this just an old birthday star eating arsenic~shuang--

--Are you looking for death?

In fact, from ancient times to the present, except for a few extremely powerful kings, the Chinese dynasty's attitude towards the barbarians in the north has been relatively weak.

These barbarians are like unfamiliar white-eyed wolves.

Once they are weak, they will approach the Huaxia Dynasty like dogs, wagging their tails and begging for mercy, waiting for charity. But once they are in power, they will immediately turn into hungry wolves and bite the Huaxia Dynasty hard.

It has been like this since ancient times.

The Ming Dynasty did not cede territory or make peace. To a certain extent, it could be regarded as maintaining the orthodoxy and majesty of the Chinese dynasty. However, too many big bosses were too soft-hearted.

In the past, when the Ming Dynasty was at its peak, it wouldn't be wrong for the big guys to go to the north to 'mix sand', pick up a batch, and beat a batch.

But at this time, Houjin has already established its momentum. If you want to mix it with sand again, wouldn't it be like a meat bun beating a dog ----- there will be no return?

Li Yuanqing did not have the energy or ability to take care of other people's affairs at this time, but Burhanggu, if he wanted to take advantage of Li Yuanqing, it could only be wishful thinking!

Li Yuanqing was leaning on a chair with his eyes closed to relax. At this moment, Butler Ma walked in quickly. Seeing Li Yuanqing here, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and said with a smile: "General, I saw the lights on in the official hall.

I never thought you were really here."

Li Yuanqing smiled and pointed to the side, "Steward Ma, sit down. It's so late and I have to ask you to work hard here. Yuan Qing feels a little sorry."

The offices of Shang Laoliu and Guanjia Ma are in the front yard of Li Yuanqing's official hall. They are only separated by a few corridors and a courtyard door. On the front yard, if you walk up a few steps, you can see if there is anything on the official hall side.

Turn on the light.

Butler Ma hurriedly smiled and said: "It is my blessing to be able to share my worries with the general. General, I have now roughly inventoried my belongings for this trip to the north, and I would like to share with you."

Li Yuanqing nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Butler Ma. Nian'er, Nian'er!"

"Yes. The maid is here."

Not long after, Nian'er hurried over from behind the screen and said, "My maid, see you, Master."

Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "Go and make two cups of good tea."

"yes."

Nian'er hurriedly left.

Li Yuanqing smiled and said: "Steward Ma, let's talk while drinking tea."

Butler Ma smiled, took out the account book, and began to read through it to sort out his thoughts.

Not long after, Nian'er brought two cups of fragrant tea, placed them respectfully in front of Li Yuanqing and Butler Ma, and left obediently.

She is the maid in the study and lives in a small cubicle behind the official hall. She has to be at her beck and call for things here.

However, at this moment, the little girl did not dare to look into Li Yuanqing's eyes and was in a panic.

Li Yuanqing smiled and took a sip of tea. Butler Ma also gathered his thoughts and reported with a smile: "General, the gold and cash from this trip to the Northland are about 400,000 taels in total. Including various

Plant materials, meat, livestock, and war horses. According to the market price, the total value is about 1.05 million taels. Coupled with the silver in the inner and outer treasury, the conditions for rewards are ripe."

Li Yuanqing nodded.

In the last battle of Fuzhou, due to financial constraints, Li Yuanqing only made verbal promises to his sons, and the rewards were not implemented. At this time, Changsheng Island had sufficient reserves of supplies, and Zhang Yunniang and Qu Minqiu were also operating at a high speed, and they were doing a lot of work.

The conditions for merit reward are ripe.

With the experience of later generations, Li Yuanqing deeply understood that if he wanted to make Changsheng Island truly prosperous and prosperous, relying only on its supply-based economy was obviously nonsense. The best way was to hide wealth among the people and let the market drive the economy.

The water is completely alive and flowing.

At this time, all commercial industries on Changsheng Island were controlled by Li Yuanqing's inner house. To a certain extent, this also meant that the wealth did not flow to outsiders.

"This is a good thing. We need to implement it as soon as possible. Brother Shang will be back soon. Let's have a cup of tea and wait for him. When he comes back, we will discuss the details."

Butler Ma smiled hurriedly and nodded, enjoying this rare leisure time with Li Yuanqing.

Not long after, Shang Laoliu hurried back, and when he saw Butler Ma also there, he understood that he might not be able to rest today again, so he hurriedly reported to Li Yuanqing what happened in Burhanggu.

With Li Yuanqing's strong attitude, Wei Liang would never dare to say a word. Buerhanggu was already a rootless loach. There was nothing he could do except wait to be sent to the palace.

Shang Laoliu also had to admire Li Yuanqing. Li Yuanqing's simple sentence directly grasped the core point and completely nipped this seemingly complicated matter in the cradle.

The three of them joked for a while and got straight to the point.

According to Li Yuanqing's intention, this merit reward should be generous, at least on the scale of 500,000 taels of silver.

Both Shang Laoliu and Ma Guanjia were a little frightened. Although they had expected that Li Yuanqing would make a big move, they never expected that it would be such a big move.

But it was not over yet. Li Yuanqing continued to smile and said: "Let each family share a little of the meat seized from the Northland. Well, just ten pounds per family. Let the people on the island also share with me, Li Yuanqing."

of joy."

Shang Laoliu and Housekeeper Ma couldn't help but be a little speechless.

Shang Laoliu said: "Yuan Qing, now, I am afraid that we will have to go out for 60,000 to 70,000 kilograms of dried meat! This will probably add another hundreds of thousands taels of silver. It will consume 30% of our reserves."

Li Yuanqing smiled and said without any doubt: "This matter is settled. Only when the people live a prosperous life will they truly feel like they are at home on Changsheng Island. What does a mere amount of money mean?"

Seeing that Li Yuanqing had made up his mind, the two of them could only nod in agreement and prepare as soon as possible.

…………

Beginning at noon the next day, the news that Li Yuanqing was going to reward his sons with great merit had spread throughout Changsheng Island.

Around 1:00 p.m., the sun was shining brightly, and the campus of the 1,000th Corps near Nanxinkou Pier on Changsheng Island was crowded with people and bright red.

There are nearly 8,000 men in the Changsheng Camp. Except for those who are in Fuzhou, Jinzhou and the Xihaer Guards who are left behind, there are less than 1,000 men. All the remaining soldiers in the Changsheng Camp are included.

Li Yuanqing was dressed in a bright red robe of a first-grade general soldier, wearing single-layer cowhide boots, and a sword hanging on his waist. He was sitting on a throne made of tiger skin, located in the middle of the high platform of the school ground, looking down at everyone from a high position.

Next to him, Shang Laoliu, Duan Xiliang, Guan Canghai, Xu Heizi, Wang Hai, Huang Guoshan, Kong Youde, Li Sansheng, Shunzi, Liu Dadou, Yang Xiaochuan and many other key officers of the Changsheng Camp were all guerrillas dressed in bright red. Chief Qian

They wear robes and have swords hanging on their waists. They stand on the left and right respectively.

Not far from the generals, Zhang Yunniang held Li Dingbei, Qu Minqiu held Erlang, and Wan'er held Ruyi, sitting behind Li Yuanqing respectively.

While Li Yuanqing turned his head, Wei Liang was sitting on his throne, surrounded by several guards in brocade uniforms, looking at the excited faces below without saying a word.

Under the high platform, Niu Gensheng and his 00 soldiers formed a straight line.

From a distance, it looks like a straight and neat bright red silk thread.

In front of them, hundreds of huge boxes had been placed, with their lids all open, emitting dazzling rays of light under the afternoon sun.

On both sides of the high platform, there were dozens of accounting clerks, and Butler Ma was running back and forth between them, doing final checks.

In front of them, dozens of loud emcees were ready with simple cowhide loudspeakers.

On the other side, there were dozens of white-haired ghosts, also lined up, curiously exploring the scale in front of them.

At this time, Shang Laoliu looked at the sun, quickly came to Li Yuanqing's side, and respectfully reported: "General, the auspicious time has arrived."

Li Yuanqing smiled, waved his hand and said: "Then~~, let's get started!"

"yes!"

The order was quickly passed around.

After a moment, Duan Xiliang strode out of the queue, fiercely pulled out the steel knife in his hand, and shouted: "I am the Ming Dynasty -----!"
