In the late Ming Dynasty, Xu Guangqi was a "thick thigh".

If you want to be self-reliant and self-sufficient, Lao Xu is obviously the best helper.

However, during the period at the beginning of the Apocalypse, Li Yuanqing was in a low position and was a warrior, so it was difficult to talk to such a boss-level figure.

Although Xu Guangqi was proficient in farming and chores, he was still a scholar. This was like a gap that could not be bypassed.

After Wei Zhongxian's affair began, Eunuch Wei used the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, a bachelor's degree student at the Hanlin Academy, and a high-ranking official of Zhan Shifu to win over Xu Guangqi.

Unfortunately, Lao Xu and Eunuch Wei couldn't urinate in the same pot, so they did not accept it and were attacked by eunuchs.

Although the young emperor Tianqi had a good feeling for Lao Xu, he could not resist the public opinion of Youyou, so he ordered him to "live in peace" and return to his hometown in Songjiang Prefecture, Nanjing to cultivate.

If Li Yuanqing remembers correctly, Lao Xu’s hometown is Shanghai, the famous magic city in later generations.

At this time, if nothing else, he should be recuperating in his hometown in Shanghai.

The sages said: "If you live high in a temple, you will worry about your people; if you live far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about your ruler."

Lao Xu is a scholar, and to a large extent, he is a scholar with integrity. From his unwillingness to bow to Eunuch Wei's high official and generous salary, we can know this.

But being idle at home like this, Li Yuanqing believed that this was definitely not his original intention.

In my memory, it seems that after Chongzhen ascended the throne, he annihilated Eunuch Wei, and after the eunuchs fell, Chongzhen recruited Xu Guangqi to serve in the court.

According to his temperament, it is impossible not to pay attention to the war in Liao.

At this point, it is impossible not to have heard of his name Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing was also classified as an eunuch and accepted the protection of Eunuch Wei, but he was a warrior after all and did not participate much in the court, let alone his misdeeds.

On the contrary, Li Yuanqing's achievements in Liao Dynasty were real.

Judging from this, the time for Li Yuanqing and Xu Guangqi to meet, cooperate, or even win over is almost mature.

"It seems that if I take some time, I really need to go to Shanghai. Even if Lao Xu can't come to help, he will definitely make a comeback. If we have a good relationship with Lao Xu, he will at least be able to serve in court when Emperor Chongzhen comes.

There is a helping hand..."

Li Yuanqing slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and his mood suddenly became brighter.

The difficulties before us are indeed not small, but they are not insurmountable.

Rome was not built in a day.

Changsheng Island is Li Yuanqing's hometown and base camp. Naturally, a lot of energy, manpower, material and financial resources must be spent to build it to the best possible extent.

…………

After gathering his thoughts, Li Yuanqing took Niu Gensheng and more than a hundred soldiers and rode straight to the southern beach camp.

At this time, the originally flat land and beach had turned into a huge 'refugee camp'.

Although the Changsheng Battalion is the most engineer-focused force in the world and has always done a good job in planning, at this time, standing on the small slope here and looking from a distance, everything is full of chaos and it still looks very messy.

.

But there is nothing that can be done about it.

Without innate conditions, it is impossible to expect that every house will be a bungalow.

Shang Laoliu and Ma Guanjia had arrived here a long time ago and were personally in charge of the work. They didn't notice Li Yuanqing coming.

Li Yuanqing did not bother them, but rode his horse around the camp.

The entire camp covers an area of ​​about fifty or sixty acres, which is not too small, but with so many people there, it still seems dense and complicated.

From here, it is about five or six miles to the urban area of ​​Nanxinkou.

However, due to the limitations of the terrain, there are very few plain areas and most of them are mountainous areas.

Li Yuanqing's original plan was to move these immigrants, the gentry and wealthy households, to the urban area to further promote the prosperity of the urban area, while the majority of the people would disperse to all directions on the island, forming small villages and settlements.

On the one hand, they farm and liberate their productivity.

But looking at it now, the land here is still far from enough.

In particular, Li Yuanqing agreed to allocate land and build mansions for wealthy gentry like the Ren family and the Qi family.

In this era, unlike later generations, villas and bungalows were built on the top of the mountains, which is called a scenery.

At this time, most of the mansions were built on plains.

As a result, these mansions can only extend to the south and north along the urban area.

Changsheng Island will still have a situation that Li Yuanqing does not want to see, that is, it is 'top-heavy', with most of the population gathered on the Nanxinkou side.

But at this time, other than this, there are not many good options.

At this time, the wealthy gentry and wealthy households who had been struggling here for several days also discovered Li Yuanqing's existence, and swarmed up like swarms of swarms, surrounding Li Yuanqing.

"Li Shuai, you're here. You have to make the decision for us. This place is simply not a place for people to live. This old man, I can't stand this kind of torture."

"Li Shuai, I, Old Zhang, have sold my life to you. You can't leave me, Old Zhang, alone."

"Li Shuai..."

Although the father and son of the Ren family, Qi Mingwei, and other wealthy businessmen could still keep their composure and did not dare to face Li Yuanqing's brows, these medium-sized and small wealthy households no longer had so many scruples. As soon as they saw Li Yuanqing, they began to complain.

.

Li Yuanqing smiled hurriedly and waved his hands and said: "Everyone, please be patient. Yuan Qing has already considered this matter. His promise to you will never be invalidated. I have already discussed this matter with Manager Shang and Manager Ma.

From now on, you can allocate your own residences. Changsheng Island officials only charge one tael of silver per acre of land. Of course, due to the terrain conditions on the island, the total area of ​​each residence cannot exceed 0 acres. Everyone

Now we can arrange the order, and then go to Manager Shang and Manager Ma to implement this matter."

"Li Shuai is wise. I know that Li Shuai will never leave us alone."

"Yes, yes. Li Shuai, we'll line up right away."

After finally getting rid of these gentry, Li Yuanqing couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, raised his eyes to look at the vast camp, and remained silent for a long time.

Niu Gensheng suddenly said: "General, are you worried about the land on the island?"

Li Yuanqing was startled and couldn't help but laugh: "Gen Sheng, do you have any good ideas?"

Niu Gensheng hurriedly smiled and touched the back of his head, "General, I don't think I have a good idea. However, I am thinking, General, although there is not much land on the Nanxinkou side, there is plenty of land on the Central Island and the West Island.

Why not let these gentlemen go over there?"

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile, "Your idea is good. But it is very difficult to implement it. If I am on Changsheng Island, they will try their best to get closer to me. Naturally, they will not put their houses and fields so far away.

That’s fine.”

"Huh?" Niu Gensheng couldn't help but smile and scratch his head, "General, your humble position is still shortsighted."

Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "Gen Sheng, it's not that you are short-sighted. It's because you haven't experienced this kind of thing and don't think about it, so naturally you can't think of these aspects. However, this sign is very good. No matter what happens in the future,

You can tell me whatever you think. You know?"

Niu Gensheng couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said: "Thank you for your advice, General!"

Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "Let's go to some military camps."

"yes."

…………

Government affairs are cumbersome and complicated, and Li Yuanqing does not want to be involved in too much energy by these trivial matters.

Shang Laoliu and Ma Guanjia were in front of everything, and Li Yuanqing was only responsible for accepting the results and pointing out the direction, which can be regarded as giving full play to his talents.

But in terms of military affairs, Li Yuanqing did not dare to neglect at all.

These soldiers are his most solid protection.

In one afternoon, Li Yuanqing inspected several stations of the Thousand Corps, chatting affectionately with grassroots soldiers, caring about their lives, understanding their moods, and pointing out the direction for them.

In the evening, I had another 'battle' with Huang Guoshan and others in the 5000th Corps. It was almost 11 o'clock, and I was able to return to the official hall tiredly.

However, although he was tired, Li Yuanqing was in excellent spirits.

As expected, the land demarcation issue became aroused again.

Those with deep pockets naturally want to zone out good land, as close to the city as possible. Those with small pockets don't want to fall behind. After all, if the zone is set far away, there is no city wall in Changsheng Island's urban area, which will not give them a sense of security.

Fortunately, Li Yuanqing had made preparations in advance. After dividing the houses of the same size, he drew lots to decide the ownership.

This way, even if someone paddles in a bad spot, they can only blame their own stinky hands.

But there are still many people who complain that the lack of city walls does not bring enough security.

Li Yuanqing also had a good idea for this.

It's not that he didn't want to build a city wall.

After all, in this era, unlike the powerful fire coverage of later generations, city walls are still necessary to ensure the safety of the city.

However, the city wall matter involved too much investment and too much involvement. At this time, Li Yuanqing obviously did not have so much spare energy.
