In later island countries, there is something called "secret room politics".

It is said that many hidden things will always be carried out in secret rooms, and outsiders and the public will never know the answer.

Of course, this is actually just that the islanders have quantified this kind of thing and placed it in any other country, any region or any ethnic group. This is true!

Moreover, it is so secretive.

At this time, both Xu Changqing and Li Hongyun were like masters in this way.

Subsequently, Xu Changqing and Li Hongyun held more friendly and in-depth consultations on many more secret details.

To be honest, Xu Changqing doesn’t have much favorable feelings for the Li family that is outdated but always shows that it exists.

They were the big borer who was raised very fat in the Ming army.

But at this time, Xu Changqing wanted to become stronger and gain more continued scarce resources. Cooperating with them was undoubtedly the best shortcut.

Before he had enough ability, Xu Changqing obviously would not change anything rashly.

With the solid foundation of this second-hand standard warship, the next thing is much simpler.

Li Hongyun promised to recruit Xu Changqing for the old shipbuilding merchants, especially those who built warships, and including various materials in the future, they would also add additional quantities for Xu Changqing, but they would all give them extra gifts.

Xu Changqing had no doubts about these issues. After thinking about it, Xu Changqing put forward a new requirement for Li Hongyun, that is, to ask for another 10,000 kilograms of gunpowder, especially the craftsmen who make gunpowder!

In this regard, it is still a bank settlement, and Xu Changqing will offer a high price!

Li Hongyun naturally agreed to such small things one by one, and the people and hosts on both sides were all happy.

…

At this time, Xu Zhong and the others brought six or seven thousand taels of silver, and more than two thousand taels of cash. Even Xu Changqing settled the silver coins of the warship with Li Hongyun, but Li Hongyun had to leave the sailors for Xu Changqing for a while.

After all, although Xu Changqing was not short of manpower at this time, he was extremely lacking in middle-aged labor, and it took some time to train sailors.

As evening approaches, Li Hongyun is leaving without any desire.

After seeing off Li Hongyun and his group, Xu Changqing was also very excited and majestic, as if the world was under control!

Xu Zhong couldn't help but sigh: "Young Master, I heard that it took at least tens of thousands of taels of silver to build such a warship back then, but now it can be taken down just 3,500 taels?"

Xu Changqing smiled, "Uncle Zhong, it's time and time. What's more, we bought second-hand goods, which may have been used for decades, so it's normal to be cheaper. There is no way to say that this kind of thing, and we can only adapt. At least for us, this is a good thing now."

Xu Changqing once saw some information in his later generations, saying that during the Jiajing period, the court allocated food and salary to Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou to build warships to eliminate Japanese pirates. At that time, it started from one million taels!

Although there is no specific number of warships among them, the price of this medium-sized warship is probably not lower than the ten thousand taels of silver mentioned by Xu Zhong!

Another one is that in the later period of Jiajing, his palace was burned and the palace was rebuilt, and he needed to build a large ship to buy wood in Nanyang.

At that time, the report was reported to be made for three million taels of silver to build a large ship and thirty large ships, but in the end, the palace spent nearly ten million taels of silver to complete the construction.

Even if the wood was later transferred from Yunnan and Guizhou, the silver for 30 large ships of 3 million taels should have been spent first.

From this we can also see how deep the water is here!

But Xu Changqing would definitely not say much about these things to Xu Zhong.

Xu Zhong nodded with a wry smile, no longer continued on this topic, and asked Xu Changqing what he would make in the future.

The arrival of Xu Zhong and others at this time was like a timely help for Xu Changqing, and it was even more powerful!

Xu Changqing immediately told Xu Zhong about the more than 10,000 refugees.

"Forehead……"

Even though Xu Zhong had prepared for it, the mission would definitely not be easy this time, but he didn't expect that Xu Changqing would be so big as soon as he got up.

Handwriting.

The key is that the load on Shark Island is already a little unbearable...

Looking at Xu Zhong's embarrassing expression, Xu Changqing couldn't help but smile: "Uncle Zhong, I know this matter is indeed a bit difficult, but~, it's better for those who can do it! My nephew, I have just started, and in the future, there are many places to rely on Uncle Zhong."

"Young Master, you..."

Xu Zhong immediately smiled bitterly, the young master had already planned him.

...

Soon, Uncle Guang brought people to come from Shark Island, and Uncle Guang came to deal with various matters on Qingshe Forest and Pigtrotter Island. Xu Changqing took Xu Zhong, Ma Luan, Zhang Hongqiang and others directly back to Ningyuan City to arrange refugee affairs.

Although Shark Island is almost full at this time, it is still not a big problem to temporarily accept these refugees for three or five days.

After all, Shark Island is not small, and it is summer again, so everyone can get through it by squeezing it.

But today is July 20th. I am afraid that after Denglai's fleet arrives, the oath will be carried out. Xu Changqing doesn't have much time to prepare!

It must be pushed on track within ten days or even in a shorter time!

Especially the research and development work on firearms and traps!

After these days of planning and continuous practice, Zhang Dagong and his team have achieved a lot of results in setting up traps to deal with the Tartars.

After experiencing several actual combats at this time, Xu Changqing also had more experience in firearms.

At this time, Xu Changqing did not have so much time, nor so much manpower or energy to use precise long-range firepower such as bird guns.

But how profound and unfathomable the firearms are?

Xu Changqing has already had a more mature, more stable and easy to use method, and has a higher cost-effective method!

…

When I returned to Ningyuan City, the three refugee camps on both sides had already been on track and began to make porridge to nourish my body.

When these refugees heard that they were Xu Changqing, who was righteous and righteous, and Xu Master wanted to gather them, they all boosted their morale, and the glory of hope could not be concealed.

After all, Xu Changqing's deeds have long been at its peak these days, and the days of refugees who were gathered by Xu Changqing have also spread.

If you can be valued by Xu Changqing, isn’t this Buddha’s eyes open? What’s that?

With Xu Zhong and Ma Luan and Zhang Hongqiang's joining, Xu Changqing's workload has also dropped sharply, and he no longer has to worry about the details in every detail.

Of course, if you go deep into the refugees, soothe their emotions, bring them closer to them, and reassure them that these seemingly simple but extremely core tasks, Xu Changqing naturally has to do it himself.

And in this process, Xu Changqing discovered some talents again!

As long as these talents are rested and brought to the track, they can be used by Xu Changqing!

…

That night, Xu Changqing didn't close his eyes. He kept going deeper into these refugees, getting closer to them, making promises to them, and giving them tangible benefits, so that they could rest assured and hoped.

At the same time, it also leaves time for preparation for Shark Island!

Until dawn the next day, everything was on track. It was already July 21, and Xu Changqing returned to the base to rest tiredly.

As soon as I returned to the station, Shaoyao and the others came to greet me, and each of them was covered with rain. I felt pity for me. Obviously, they didn't sleep well last night.

Xu Changqing understood their little thoughts for a moment and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

But at this time, Xu Changqing didn't have much time to pay attention to them. He smiled and comforted them, asked them to serve him and wash up, and directly asked them to accompany him to make up for sleep.

At this time, there was a clear news from Denglai's fleet that he had arrived at Shanhaiguan last night, but the storm on the sea was too strong and he needed a little rest.

But even if you take a break, it may not be delayed for too long. At the latest, I guess you will be able to come to Ningyuan tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Although the arrival of the Denglai fleet would not have much impact on Xu Changqing, it is not easy to confuse military and national affairs such as appeasement of refugees. Xu Changqing has not had much time to make up for his sleep, and only one hour has passed.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Before the Si hour, that is, before 10 am, all members must set off!

Regarding the refugee's escort, Xu Changqing reached a tacit understanding with Cao Bianjiao last night. In addition, Wang Pu also received the news and would send troops to protect him. In addition, the Tartars were almost driven out, so there is basically no need to worry about safety, and the rest is only efficiency and people's hearts.

Fortunately, Xu Changqing not only had a large number of bamboo rafts, but also four ships, which should be more efficient!

…

After sleeping with Wen Xiang Wangyu for more than an hour, Xu Changqing was reluctant to do so, but he could only get up and ask Zhao Zengjin to hire a carriage to take Shaoyao and the other six girls away.

Shaoyao and the others finally felt relieved and knew that Xu Changqing would not want them anymore. They took advantage of the gap when no one was around and gave Xu Changqing a fragrant kiss.

But this kind of gentleness lasted for a moment. When the carriage came, even if Shaoyao and the others were reluctant, they could only get on the carriage first.

When Xu Changqing arrived at the refugee camp, the team was ready to set off.

While Xu Zhong, Ma Luan, Zhang Hongqiang and others were busy, Li Changyou was also working harder, spitting everywhere, constantly brainwashing these refugees and giving chicken soup, saying how awesome and kind he, Xu Changqing, was simply the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva.

Not to mention, although this guy is vulgar and has no clever methods, this guy is passionate, especially his infectiousness, which can easily be convincing.

Xu Changqing couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth. Now, he has gained a lot of gains from his unintentional actions.

Li Changyou stayed in Ningyuan City, to some extent, can also be regarded as a powerful fulcrum of himself.

"Everyone, I won't say much. Qingshe Forest has prepared delicious fish soup, delicious fish balls, and hot steamed buns for everyone. You can let go of a hundred hearts and follow our Master Xu with peace of mind. However, I, Mr. Li, have to say that the ugly words are ahead. Our Master Xu is kind and righteous, and loves the people as good as his son. But, whoever dares to be a ghost and be a shameful and fishy thing! I, Chang Li, will definitely report to Mr. Xu, and you can't keep such a bastard! There is no such useless waste in our Liao land!"

Li Chang finished speaking with great enthusiasm, and was about to take a breath, he suddenly saw the most familiar figure not far away, looking at him with a smile.

"Oh, Master!"

Li Changyou's fatigue disappeared instantly, and he ran to Xu Changqing like a dog: "Master, you are ready, just waiting for you to come."
