With Yang Hong making a good start, the enthusiasm among these old craftsmen was also stimulated, and they began to make many constructive and immediate suggestions to Xu Changqing.

For example, the island has more accurate planning, building layout, defense against typhoons, including optimizing water sources, etc.

Xu Changqing naturally agreed to this one by one.

After all, these things only require manpower and local materials, and do not cost too much money.

As for several old craftsmen in firearms, Xu Changqing also talked a lot with them.

This is also the point that Xu Changqing values ​​the most!

After all, Xu Changqing knew very well that this era was already the era of firearms, and this can be said to be the best era, an era that laid the world hegemony and laid the foundation of the nation!

However, although the craftsmen used all their imagination and enthusiasm to Xu Changqing's statement about muskets and bird guns, they also proposed some solutions and solutions. Unfortunately, there was no extra pig iron on the island at this time...

Even if Yang Hong wants to restructure his spear, he can only melt other weapons to re-made them.

This made Xu Changqing have to temporarily endure it, soothe the emotions of these craftsmen, and try to get them the raw materials for experiments as soon as possible.

But Ningyuan City is difficult to get these things, and the relationship that can only be found within the pass is also a headache that Xu Changqing can't say.

At this critical moment, everything is just a slight dizzy, and the time is tight and the task is heavy, so it is too difficult!

…

After lunch, Xu Changqing began to gather with the officers again to discuss and study the practice of these spearmen.

With the experience of fighting with the Qing army twice, and the qualities and experiences of later generations, Xu Changqing already had a big outline in his heart.

But this kind of thing is not a joke after all, it not only concerns the precious lives of the children, but also directly concerns life and death!

Therefore, Xu Changqing will definitely not be able to dominate the situation. Just like a factory in later generations develops precision instruments, it is necessary to talk about experiments and data.

Just as the men were constantly sweating and the continuous discussion and improvement, a man on duty suddenly came to report that someone in the Li family wanted to see Xu Changqing!

Xu Changqing's brows frowned slightly.

"What's the situation?"

"Is that the lady of the Li family still counting and still has to find a follow-up account?"

Before, Xu Changqing had actually handled this matter very carefully. Moreover, Li Hongyun and Li Youwei almost personally promised that the matter was over, and they suddenly shot back?

But the Li family is unusual!

In terms of emotion and reason, Xu Changqing had no reason to reject them.

After thinking for a while, Xu Changqing asked, "Where are they now?"

"Sir, they are now in the Green Snake Forest and are sending news through Pigtrotter Island." The man on duty was busy reporting respectfully.

"Um?"

Xu Changqing frowned even tighter.

If it was a debt-forcing and a sting, according to the Li family's temperament, they might have already come. After all, they all dared to block Hong Chengchou's door.

But at this time, their attitude seemed to be good, and it didn't seem like a sign of turning against each other...

At this time, the training here was basically on track. Xu Changqing thought about it and decided to meet the Li family, which was considered to be a friend and multiple roads.

It was the first time Shen Shichu, and it was about 3:30 noon. There was no problem crossing the sea. Xu Changqing took Zhao Zengjin and a few of them to Zhutou Island directly to Zhutou Island.

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

When I came to Zhutou Island, I saw that more than 100 cavalry of the Li family had already set up camps in the Qingshe Forest and had been waiting for a long time.

Li Hongyun also saw Xu Changqing's bamboo raft at this time, and hurriedly waved on the shore with a smile.

After the two sides met and had a brief exchange, Xu Changqing understood the purpose of the Li family and was grateful for his feelings.

"hehe."

"Master Xu, our lady is very grateful for your care during this period of time. I specially asked me to inform Mr. Xu that you would like to give Mr. Xu twenty stones of grain and rice, which can be regarded as the food for Mr. Xu during these days. Mr. Xu, our Li family also has a family grain and rice shop in Ningyuan. You can go and withdraw it at any time when you have time."

Li Hongyun smiled, like the God of Wealth who was scattering wealth, very gentle, but under this softness, people can't guess his profound meaning.

Xu Changqing looked at Li Hongyun's eyes for a moment and had already captured his meaning. The corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly and smiled: "Mr. Li, Miss, and the love of the Li family, Changqing is deeply moved. If you have the chance in the future, Changqing will definitely visit the Li family!"

Seeing that Xu Changqing captured his deep meaning, Li Hongyun's smile couldn't help but become even more intense, and he started chatting with Xu Changqing with warmth.

Soon, it was getting dark, and Li Hongyun seemed to be planning to leave tonight, so he invited Xu Changqing to have dinner and have another drink.

Xu Changqing also relaxed a lot at this time and started chatting with Li Hongyun from all over the world.

At this time, Xu Changqing could basically confirm that this matter was the meaning of Miss Li’s family, which was obviously a good omen.

Xu Changqing also wanted to see if he could get some supplies he urgently needed through the Li family's relationship.

…

Two hundred people gathered on both sides. Such a large camp was located behind Ningyuan City, and the Qing army cavalry did not dare to attack the camp, which made the atmosphere of the dinner very comfortable.

Li Hongyun also invested in the capital and brought a lot of good wine and dishes from Ningyuan City.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of dishes.

Xu Changqing smiled and said some of his thoughts, wanting to make some pig iron, medicine, gunpowder, and ships through the Li family's relationship.

Li Hongyun had expected this and also started to communicate with Xu Changqing with a smile.

The Li family was willing to provide Xu Changqing with 3,000 kilograms of pig iron, a large amount of military medicine, including 30 stones of grain and 5,000 kilograms of gunpowder at a price lower than half the market price.

Li Hongyun can make the decision on these issues by himself, but the ship's problem is a bit complicated, and Li Hongyun must go back before making a decision.

Xu Changqing was already overjoyed after solving these most critical problems, and immediately expressed his understanding, and said that as long as the Li family could get a ship, the acquisition price of Xu Changqing on his side would definitely be higher than the market price, and the Li family would never suffer a loss.

Because ships are different from the above raw materials and materials, they are quite troublesome.

Even if you have wood and boatmen, it will be difficult to build a ship for a while, and you still need good keels.

Keel bones are not something that can be done in one or two days.

Xu Changqing did not have too high requirements for the Li family, and he did not need pure and sophisticated warships, just ordinary salt ships and sand ships that pulled salt.

Although real ships and bamboo rafts can sail on the sea, the difference is huge.

The simplest point is that the boat is not only stable beyond bamboo rafts, but also sleeps on the boat!

This means that if there are ships, even if there are not many, only a few, which can accommodate dozens or hundreds of people, the range of activities of Xu Changqing and his children will

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

It can truly extend to the Songjin line!

This is definitely a progress that transcends the times!

Of course, Xu Changqing must not have so much money at this time, but, from later generations, Xu Changqing's mouth and face thickness are not something Li Hongyun can understand.

Whether it is war horses, weapons and armor, or even the Tartar heads, they can all be used as collateral or exchange resources.

Li Hongyun was also a little confused at this time.

This Mr. Xu is no longer just a matter of big appetite, but a huge number!

However, the more Xu Changqing was like this, the more relieved Li Hongyun was.

After all, they made friends with Xu Changqing and even invested a lot of capital to have such a promising friend as Xu Changqing!

Even if Xu Changqing cannot be brought under the Li family, having such a strong friend will be beneficial to the Li family.

Soon, the two conveniences reached an agreement. The Li family accepted Xu Changqing's conditions according to the order, and Xu Changqing could pay by relying on his own conditions.

This is full of sincerity!

A dinner can be said to be a joy for the guests and guests.

But after eating and drinking, Xu Changqing couldn't calm down for a long time after lying in the comfortable tent of the Li family.

Time?

Luck?

Destiny?!

No matter what the Li family’s reputation is, it has helped me a lot after all. I have to worry about this kind of relationship!

However, this matter seemed to be Li Youwei's idea, which made Xu Changqing feel a little confused for a moment, and was not sure how long this relationship could last.

After all, women, especially girls like Li Youwei who have not yet started a family, have limited voice after all.

But as the saying goes, as long as you can solve your urgent needs, Xu Changqing is too lazy to think so much.

...

The next morning, he saw Li Hongyun and his group away. Xu Changqing wanted to go back to Pigtrotter Island to polish his body, and wait until the wind and waves were calm at noon to return to Shark Island to continue training.

But at this time, the food on Shark Island was already extremely limited and it could not last for a few days. The Li family sent a pillow at this time, and Cao Bianjiao put down his words before.

After thinking about it carefully, Xu Changqing decided to go to Ningyuan City to try his luck.

Shark Island was already on track at this time, and Xu Changqing was not in a hurry to do so. Just as the famous saying of Ma Ge in Hangzhou in later generations, "What if it happens if it is realized?"

If you try your luck, you may be cold-eyed and ridiculed, but you will always have a chance to succeed.

But if you don't go, there will be no chance.

After two lifetimes, Xu Changqing's face has long been thicker than the city wall, and his cunning is as deep as abyss. How could he care about the face of this mere bird feather?

Thinking of this, Xu Changqing immediately called Zhao Zengjin, ordered more than a dozen good players, transported more than 20 war horses from Pig Troe Island, and the group went straight to Ningyuan City.

Walking on the road, Xu Changqing suddenly realized that there seemed to be fewer Tartar whistle cavalry that had been densely packed before. On the contrary, the Ming army's squads were more and more.

As we approached Ningyuan City, we happened to meet a familiar general manager, who was in the team of Yebukuai. Xu Changqing went over to chat with him for a few words, and immediately learned about the latest news in Ningyuan City these days.

Just yesterday afternoon, the last elite group of the Nine Borders, Wang Pu's troops, the general general of Datong, had already arrived in Ningyuan City and set up a camp.
