Chapter 119: Yinan Raiders
In the tenth year of Yongchang, on the second day of February, the dragon raised its head.

Li Qing had just returned to Nanhai County City and moved into the newly built mansion. This mansion was donated by Wang Zheng, covering an area of ​​more than ten acres, with pavilions, waterside pavilions, and inner lakes and rockery.

The factory is remodeled according to the Duke system. In the courtyard, there are pairs of flower pots, pomegranate trees, fish ponds in the color of tea leaves, nine-foot-high oleander, winter jasmine, Tanchun, gardenia, cypress, sycamore trees, and various flowers , all kinds of foreign flowers, there are really flowers that never fade in four seasons, and the grass of Changchun in eight seasons.

It is really the first class elegant and quiet place in Jiaozhou.

Tian Boyuan sent recent information from inside and outside the state, focusing on the analysis of intelligence from all states in the world. Li Qing watched it carefully.

Especially Yizhou, Jingzhou and Yangzhou, although there is no core news, but after he taught them, the inner guards also analyzed a lot of information from them.

"What's going on in Jingzhou recently? Song Tianxing hasn't captured Xiangyang yet?"

Yang Zhen, Mu Yang of Jingzhou, was born in a clan, but he didn’t live like a normal clan and waited to die. After arriving in Jingzhou, he worked hard and tried to save Daqing from the turmoil. Jingbei was about to be captured by Song Tianxing.

"Xiangyang is the place of the Four Wars. It can reach the counties of Jianghan in the south, Xuzhou in the east, Guanzhong and Tianjing in the west, and Luoyang and the Central Plains in the north. It has always been a battleground for military strategists. It is impossible for Song Tianxing to conquer Xiangyang within half a year."

"It seems that what Song Tianxing lacks the most is time."

Li Qing understood that when Song Tianxing first occupied the four counties in southern Jing, he began to plot Jiaozhou, but he was beaten back by himself, and he was probably on his guard against him.

At this time, a man in black was looking around outside the courtyard, as if there was something very anxious, Tian Boyuan saw him and motioned for him to come in, the man in black handed him a secret letter and bowed to leave.

Tian Boyuan said with joy after reading it: "My lord is overjoyed. There is a rebellion in the southern part of Yizhou, and the Shu army is busy mobilizing to counter the rebellion."

"Oh"

Li Qing quickly took over the information and watched it carefully, and found that the rebellion was very involved, the five counties in Yinan were in chaos, and Zhou Yuquan, king of Shu, was busy attacking Hanzhong.

"Both Zhou Yuquan and Song Tianxing want to unify the whole state first, so as to gain the upper hand in future wars, but at this time it is Zhou Yuquan who has fallen behind."

Tian Boyuan smiled and said: "The opportunity is rare. It is a godsend to attack Yizhou directly from Yulin County."

"Give me an order to appoint Wu Yunyu as General Zhengxi to lead the Man Banner Wu Cheng and other three banners to attack Yizhou," Li Qing said with bright eyes.

"Yes"

The attendants went to deliver the order, drafted by Zhu Qiu, and sent to the Manqi. Since the unification of Jiaozhou, the Manqi stopped expanding. The barbarians must be ecstatic to receive such an order.

Li Qing thought to himself, and began to look at the recent memorials. Yan Zhengyi had already drafted his opinions, and he only needed to seal many things for confirmation.

Among them, the news sent by Wang Zheng about the initial success of the sun-dried salt method caught his attention. Since the first batch of salt ponds were successfully sun-dried salt, Wang Zheng has rapidly expanded the scale. It is initially estimated that the salt-dried method can increase the salt production by ten times.

The business routes with the surrounding states have also begun to open up, and the trade to Jingzhou, Yizhou, and Yangzhou is endless. Wang Zheng even started to prepare for the Shibo Division, preparing to open up waterways. Li Qing not only nodded secretly, this person is indeed a business genius.

"Come on, accompany me to the Shibo Department to have a look."

Li Qing ordered Zhu Qiu and Tian Boyuan to follow, and together they went to the newly built Shibo Department, which is located thirty miles south of Nanhai County. Wang Zheng showed an astonishing vision in choosing the site.

When I came to the Shipbuilding Department, I saw Wang Zhengzheng directing the craftsmen to speed up the construction, and strive to put the Shipbuilding Department into operation within three months. By then, the spices, salt, jade, coral and other materials rich in Jiaozhou can be continuously transported to other states. The shortage of horses, grain, pig iron and other materials will also be alleviated.

Carefully observe the luck on Wang Zheng's body, half red and half gold, countless white luck gathered from all directions, and even surrounded by traces of incense, this is the power produced by being admired or even worshiped by others.

I was shocked immediately.

After thinking about it carefully, I finally figured out the matter. Wang Zhengben was a business genius. He started from scratch and was respected by countless younger generations. In addition, he practiced the method of drying salt and employed tens of thousands of people as workers, leaving countless people alive.

In this world where morality is manifested and the power of humanity is extremely strong, incense beliefs naturally have special powers. Ten thousand people petition, and a word becomes a spirit. Even after death, such people will be sheltered by the luck of humanity. This is a sinful virtue.

Looking at his own luck again, the luck in the golden tripod has risen to two-thirds, and the dragon swims freely in the ocean of luck, and there is also the consumption of the city god of the canonized capital, otherwise the luck is already full at this time.

With the progress of trade, the people lived well, and few people died of starvation. In addition, the barbarians were conquered, and the luck of the people in Jiaozhou turned from gray to pure white.

"Wang Zheng, the head of the minister's household department, pays homage to the lord"

Wang Zheng's voice woke Li Qing from his contemplation, and he said with a smile, "Wang Aiqing, please, you are doing a good job here."

"It's all my lord's idea, I'm just going to carry it out," Wang Zheng said dutifully, he didn't dare to take credit for being a businessman.

Li Qing said indifferently: "Your credit is yours, don't be modest, I will keep this matter in mind."

Wang Zheng was greatly moved, fog appeared in his eyes, and Li Qing began to inspect the construction site.

Skilled work is naturally undertaken by craftsmen, while physical work is handed over to barbarian slaves. Without these barbarian slaves, I don't know when the completion date will be delayed.

"Hey, is that a navy?"

Li Qing looked at the sea, hundreds of battleships were divided into two teams for drills, the ships were moving like the wind, Li Yuanlong on the huge flagship overlooked the entire battlefield, and the battle flag was erected high in the rear.

This is the navy, built by Wei Xingchang, and later transferred to Li Yuanlong as the commander of the navy, named Yinglong Army.

"Li Yuanlong is a natural born general, how long has it taken to reach this level?"

Li Qing thought silently, he lacks a navy general, and Li Yuanlong is a general with strong adaptability, it is most appropriate to transfer him to be the admiral of the navy, and now it seems that this person has not let him down.

Li Yuanlong on the sea also found that Li Qing was observing, and a small boat came ashore and gave a military salute.

"How can my lord have time to inspect the navy?"

Li Qing helped Li Yuanlong up, he didn't see that Li Yuanlong was tanned a lot in January, he said with a smile: "The navy will be the main force in the upcoming battle, so I feel uneasy if you don't come and see it."

The naval forces of Jingzhou and Yangzhou are well-known in the world. If they want to compete with these two states in the future, they must make up for the shortcomings of the navy, otherwise it will be difficult to move forward in the prefectures and counties with dense rivers.

Li Yuanlong said solemnly: "Don't worry, my lord, I have five thousand Yinglong troops and a hundred warships in the Jiaozhou navy, and I will never hold back my lord."

Li Qing shook his head secretly, the Jiaozhou navy started late, where is the Jingzhou and Yangzhou navy's opponents, and the army lacks generals who are good at water warfare, the gap cannot be made up in a few months.

He has asked Wang Zheng to secretly send people to Jing and Yang states to recruit talents who are good at water warfare, promise a lot of money, and give him official positions, hoping to attract some talents!
