Chapter 1145 First Snow
~~~~~~
"That's right. Qingzhu, you are really smart as ice and snow."
Li Yuan Qingshun took Xiaoxiao and flattered Meng Qingzhu, and then said: "Qingzhu, you also know that due to the special terrain restrictions in our Liaoning region, there are not many truly valuable specialties. They are nothing more than furs and medicinal materials. But
The medicinal materials are better, but these furs are inevitable and will add a lot of slaughter."
As Li Yuanqing spoke, he sighed deeply, exhaled a long breath, took out the cigar box, and seemed to be knocking out the cigar, but his movements were a little clumsy for a moment.
Although Meng Qingzhu is a devout Christian, she grew up in the Chinese world after all. In the Chinese world, Buddhism is a "big hurdle" that cannot be circumvented.
Meng Qingzhu himself was very repulsive to killing.
At this time, Li Yuanqing's words, which seemed to be roundabout but went straight to the point, clearly scratched Meng Qingzhu's itch.
After a moment, Meng Qingzhu said: "You~, you want to use medicinal materials as the main trade route? Although this idea is very good, but... Nanyang is not too short of medicinal materials, and even the curative effects of many medicinal materials,
Even better than our Liaodi, this risk..."
Hearing that Meng Qingzhu was worried about himself, Li Yuanqing couldn't help but feel even more happy. Naturally, he had to take "extraordinary measures" to deal with young literary and artistic women.
Li Yuanqing awkwardly lit the cigar, took a deep breath, and said: "Qingzhu, you are right. I am indeed very worried about this matter. But there is nothing that can be done about it. Natural selection means that everything responds accordingly. This year
Nature is not good, we humans have a hard time, but the lives of these beasts are not too easy either. I just received reports from Vladivostok and Jeju Island the day before yesterday. I am afraid that the scale of fur production in these two places alone will drop by more than 20% this year.
By the way, Qingzhu, have you noticed that it seems to be getting colder and colder in the past few years?"
Meng Qingzhu was completely attracted by Li Yuanqing's words at this time, and was completely restrained by Li Yuanqing's speaking rhythm.
For a moment, he couldn't help but nodded instinctively and said: "Li Shuai, you didn't tell me, I really didn't pay attention. It seems to be like this. I still vaguely remember that when I first came to Changsheng Island, even in the depth of winter, I only wore a pair of clothes.
A fur coat is enough. But now, winter has not really entered yet, and I no longer have to wear a fur coat, but also a sweater underneath."
Li Yuanqing smiled: "Qingzhu, what's your name, Li Shuai? How far away does this seem to us? Just call me Yuanqing. What you said is right. It turns out that our Changsheng Island usually only freezes in the middle and late November.
.But now, at the end of October and the beginning of November, there are already serious signs of freezing in the offshore waters. Especially since it doesn’t snow much today.”
With that said, Li Yuanqing pointed out the window and said: "Qingzhu, look, our Changsheng Island is already in the north of the Ming Dynasty, and the first snow this year is almost the New Year."
Meng Qingzhu followed the direction of Li Yuanqing's finger and looked out the window at the fluttering snowflakes. Her big eyes were a little confused for a moment. After a moment, she came back to her senses, "Yuan...Li Shuai, it seems the same. I still remember, I
When I saw the snow for the first time, I was very excited. But it must have been October at that time. Moreover, the snow seemed to have never stopped all winter, but now, not only is the snow less, it looks like it is still falling.
Can’t get up.”
Although Meng Qingzhu did not change her words in time and called Li Yuanqing 'Yuanqing', it was obvious that she had relaxed a lot. How could Li Yuanqing let go of this opportunity?
He smiled hurriedly and said: "That's true. Qingzhu. Not only in our Liaoning region, but also in Guan Nei, when winter comes, the people are looking forward to snow. Because only snow is like covering the fields with a layer of cotton.
The wheat will be warmer and there will be a better harvest next year. But there is so little snow this year... this is not a good sign."
"Then, what should we do?"
Meng Qingzhu seemed a little anxious for a moment, and said hurriedly: "Yuan, Yuan Qing, we don't know God, and we can't make snow? Tiancheng is already bad this year. If Tiancheng is not bad again next year, then the common people..."
Li Yuanqing smiled and pinched Meng Qingzhu's slender fingers, which were as delicate as mutton-fat white jade, and said with a smile: "Qingzhu, you don't have to worry too much about this matter. As the old saying goes, there is no way out even if there is a mountain and a river, but there is a bright future in every village. Let's
We are all living people, how can we choke ourselves to death? The harvest here is not good, but the harvest in Huguang, Hainan, including Nanyang, and India is not necessarily bad. We must let our brains work.
"
Although Li Yuanqing's words were vulgar, they were still within the tolerance of Meng Qingzhu.
After all, Meng Qingzhu is no longer the aloof and unconventional eldest daughter of the Meng family.
After years of training on Changsheng Island, she has grown into one of the top medical leaders in the Changsheng Camp, including the entire southern Liaoning. On weekdays, she comes into contact with more lower-level officers and soldiers, and more common people.
Already have some immunity.
At this time, Meng Qingzhu also understood the deep meaning of Li Yuanqing. Li Yuanqing wanted to let the water flow and spin.
Meng Qingzhu also had to admire Li Yuanqing.
In the current situation, this is indeed the best choice. But at the same time, there are also huge risks involved.
"Yuan Qing, it's good that things are like this. However, Liao and Nanyang are thousands of miles away. This trip will definitely waste a lot of time, and it will also add a lot of risks.
.”
Meng Qingzhu's words were quite sincere. Obviously, after so many years, she had already regarded her as a member of Changsheng Island. She spoke with the interests of Changsheng Island and Liaonan in mind.
Li Yuanqing nodded, looked at the misty snowflakes outside the window, exhaled a long breath of thick fog and said: "Qingzhu, no matter how difficult it is, you have to do it. If you do it, you may lose money, you may pay a lot of price, but~
~, after all, there is still hope. But if you don’t do it, everything will depend on God’s face.”
"Yuanqing..."
Meng Qingzhu suddenly fell silent.
She has always known that Li Yuanqing is very strong, very strong, invincible, and invincible. Especially on the island, including the entire Liaonan, Li Yuanqing has been somewhat deified.
In addition, no matter what time it is, Li Yuanqing's handsome face is always filled with a smile that is indifferent but full of unspeakable confidence, making people instinctively trust and rely on Li Yuanqing.
But at this time, when Li Yuanqing really told the inside story and details of these things, Meng Qingzhu finally understood how much Li Yuanqing had to bear.
He almost held up Changsheng Island, Liaonan, and even the entire Liao land with his shoulders alone.
But what Meng Qingzhu didn't know was that Li Yuanqing's shoulders were not only supporting the entire Liao Dynasty, but also the national destiny of the entire Ming Dynasty. At this time, he was almost shouldering the responsibility.
The room seemed to fall into silence for a moment.
Li Yuanqing stopped talking, Meng Qingzhu stopped talking, and the atmosphere was a little delicate for a while.
But Li Yuanqing could clearly feel that sweat had begun to appear in Meng Qingzhu's small hands.
After a moment, Li Yuanqing smiled and said: "Qingzhu, let's not talk about these unhappy things. Today is the first snow on Changsheng Island. Let's have a good time with wine and food. Let's go out for a walk and relax. After eating, we will go to bed.
, it’s not very good for people’s health.”
Meng Qingzhu's pretty face couldn't help but blush, and just when she was about to refuse, Li Yuanqing smiled and said: "Qingzhu, although the house in the backyard has been temporarily abandoned, the small garden inside is not bad. Let's chat while enjoying the snow."
With that said, Li Yuanqing had already stood up and directly took Meng Qingzhu's little hand, obviously not giving her a chance to refuse.
Meng Qingzhu rolled her eyes at Li Yuanqing, how could she resist Li Yuanqing's strength?
He was simply appointed directly.
Not to mention, she also really wanted to go out and see the first snow of the year.
But when he came to the door, Li Yuanqing ordered Pu Meiji and Pu Liji to bring Meng Qingzhu a fox fur scarf, and personally helped Meng Qingzhu put it on, and then covered her hat and fur coat more firmly, and then pulled
Meng Qingzhu's little hand strode out of the door.
Park Mi-hee and Park Ri-hee wanted to follow, but were stopped by Li Yuanqing's eyes.
Although these two little girls are Meng Qingzhu's personal maids, they are both Li Yuanqing's personal property, so how can they dare to disobey Li Yuanqing's orders?
He could only watch Li Yuanqing and Meng Qingzhu go out eagerly.
After walking out of the door, Yang Lei, who was waiting outside, hurriedly greeted him, "Commander."
Li Yuanqing smiled, but did not let go of Meng Qingzhu's little hand: "Yang Lei, brothers have worked hard tonight, so let's go back and rest first. I will go back to the house later. Tomorrow morning, we will have a routine exercise."
"Eh? Marshal..."
Yang Lei couldn't help but be shocked. Just as he was about to say something, Li Yuanqing smiled and waved his hand, "I have some important matters to discuss with Divine Doctor Meng. Nothing will go wrong. Execute the order."
"Uh...yes."
Although Yang Lei had no choice but to carry out the order.
Seeing Li Yuanqing and Meng Qingzhu walking into the snow in the distance, of course Yang Lei would not leave directly, but instead called for his own soldiers to guard the perimeter.
After all, the Changsheng Camp’s personal soldier regulations are no joke.
Here, Li Yuanqing had already taken Meng Qingzhu's little hand and came to the door of the backyard.
Of course Li Yuanqing knew that Yang Lei and the others would not leave directly, and the reason why he said this was of course to give Meng Qingzhu face.
Yang Lei has been following Li Yuanqing for many years, so naturally he does not lack this understanding.
In Warehouse No. 3, the intelligence personnel who usually stay behind are all in the middle courtyard, front yard, and backyard. It is basically a forbidden area, but it has been idle in the past two years.
This is not because Li Yuanqing is deliberately wasting space and preparing for some real estate development. It is because Li Yuanqing wants to leave a space as a milestone in the construction of Changsheng Island.
It can also be used for emergencies at certain critical moments.
The backyard here is very large, almost ten acres of land. Although it is only separated from Li Yuanqing's back house by a wall, it is blocked by a wide artificial river, about thirty or forty paces wide.
There is a circulation of hot spring water in this river, so it will not freeze.
When we return to Li Yuanqing's back house, there are three tall partition walls, which are patrolled by soldiers every day. Not to mention ordinary thieves, even gangsters will never get in easily.
Regarding the safety of his back house, Li Yuanqing never dared to take it lightly.
At this time, the backyard was overgrown with grass due to disrepair. At this time, rustling snowflakes were sprinkled on the ground, covering the whole world with a layer of snow-white. Although it was beautiful, it was also very lonely.
Solemn and a bit inexplicably desolate.
Only not far away, there is a rockery in the middle, which looks a bit abrupt.
Meng Qingzhu held the small hand of Li Yuanqing's big hand, and could not help but instinctively grasp Li Yuanqing's fingers tighter.
Li Yuanqing smiled: "Don't be afraid, Qingzhu. Although no one has lived here for many years, there won't be any ferocious beasts. At most, there will be one or two wild dogs, wild cats and the like."
Meng Qingzhu wanted to persuade Li Yuanqing to leave, but Li Yuanqing magically took out an exquisite wine bottle from his arms and said with a smile: "Qingzhu, how about we climb up that rockery and have a drink on the top of the mountain?"
