Li Miao's mixed fleet rested at Chengzikou Port for ten days. We were preparing to set off early that morning, and our destination was Juzhuanghekou Port, Liaodong. Before setting off, Li Miao called Ding Qiusheng to the study room where he was riding the boat.
This is an affirmation of Ding Chunsheng’s work. It was also Li Miao who gave face to the personal maid Qiu Sheng. Otherwise, Li Miao could have said a few words of encouragement when leaving at the dock.
In Li Miao's study, Li Miao first praised Ding Chunsheng. Regarding Ding Chunsheng's work in the past ten days and the past year. Li Miao gave full affirmation. Then Li Miao chatted about some family matters.
It's nothing more than Qiu Sheng's things and some interesting things about Xiang Tao. Ding Chunsheng quickly got off the boat. This short one-on-one summons was of great significance to Ding Chunsheng. Completely established his prestige on Lingshan Island.
Li Miao's mixed fleet began its final voyage. Everyone is full of energy. In addition, a large amount of nanmu was unloaded at Chengzikou Port. The speed of the mixed fleet has increased somewhat.
Li Miao once talked with Jia Tanchun that Lingshan Island was his territory. If she wants, she can stay on Lingshan Island. Of course Jia Tanchun didn't want to. If you go to Liaodong Bureau with Li Miao, you can spend half of your honeymoon on the way.
Jia Tanchun was also wondering if he was too greedy. Originally, when I learned that I was going to get married, my requirements were really not high, as long as I didn't go to get married. It doesn't matter where Li Miao arranges for her. But now she is used to living with Li Miao.
Of course Jia Tanchun knew that it would be difficult to return to the capital for the time being. After all, he is the princess of the marriage. Once exposed, Li Miao's wealth and life will be in danger. Although Li Miao is very capable, what about his family?
Now Jia Tanchun doesn't care about anything. Just focus on the present and spend one more day with Li Miao. Anyway, Jia Tanchun is starting to lose sight of Li Miao now. Maybe Li Miao has other ways.
Jia Tanchun has long been numb to the current Li Miao from the moment he set foot on Lingshan Island. I originally thought that the three sea ships were already Li Miao's trump card. There are more than 3,000 guards at Chengzi Port on Lingshan Island.
Jia Tanchun is not an ordinary person now. He can tell at a glance that these more than 3,000 guards are no weaker than the guards on three sea ships. At first, I felt a little bit resentful towards Li Miao. Can't you bring more people with you?
But when Jia Tanchun thought about it, wouldn't more than a thousand people bring him back safely? And bring back more than 30,000 people? The original admiration for Li Miao has long since become numb. I don’t even understand you anymore, so how can I be your fan?
Li Miao seemed to have seen through Jia Tanchun's thoughts. Wasn't he just trying to push the envelope? Man himself is an animal that is never satisfied. Satisfaction is only temporary, dissatisfaction is normal. This time, that time.
Some people say that greed is the driving force behind human progress. It actually makes sense. If everyone is satisfied and doesn't want to make progress. Everyone is eating and waiting to die. How can society progress then?
No matter what, you should always treat your woman well. So Li Miao began to comfort Jia Tanchun. You must know that women need to be coaxed. So Li Miao was particularly gentle, even much gentler than the first time.
The first time Li Miao and Jia Tanchun met was in Li Miao's study. At that time, it was just a transaction between the two. In addition, Li Miao was also worried that Jia Tanchun would change his mind. So it was a bit hasty. It has nothing to do with gentleness.
As for the subsequent honeymoon, Jia Tanchun was already a strong woman. Do you still need gentleness? But things are different now, strong women are also very fragile. Need comfort.
Therefore, Li Miao is rarely gentle. Especially a while ago, the arrogance was not over. Li Miao has always been very rude. Jia Tanchun has never experienced such a gentle Li Miao.
Because Li Miao is gentle, it took only two of them to complete the harmony of yin and yang. It took a long time for Jia Tanchun to finally react. "It turns out you never loved me before, you were just perfunctory with me."
Li Miao also couldn't laugh or cry, and she became cocooned after being gentle for a long time.
In mid-October, Li Miao's mixed fleet finally arrived at Zhuanghekou Port. A group of senior officials from the Liaodong Bureau, led by Wang Daoqi, greeted him at the dock. This is the first time Li Miao has set foot on the land of Liaodong.
But Li Miao still knows the situation of the Liaodong Bureau quite well. The current Liaodong Bureau implements military control. In a state of war, the Liaodong Bureau is still very strong. It is mainly reflected in two aspects: armed combat power and economic strength.
The first is the shipyard, due to the natural advantages of Zhuanghekou Port. Every year the shipyard produces two three-sail ships and five two-sail ships. And there's still a lot of room left.
The key is that the construction speed can only be deliberately slowed down because the sailors and guards cannot keep up. If according to the production capacity of the shipyard. Even if you flip it over, it’s not much different.
Therefore, the current purpose of Liaodong Bureau Shipyard is to produce high-quality products. Slow work produces careful work, and we strive for excellence. When the shipbuilding craftsmen saw Li Miao's mixed fleet, their eyes really shone. They were all people who knew the goods.
A large amount of fine nanmu was unloaded to the shipyard. The craftsmen are still not satisfied. I can't wait to dismantle the remaining eleven ships immediately. I am also used to striving for excellence, and a ship like this is too annoying.
The arsenal and farm implement factory of the Liaodong Bureau are actually one, and they are also a giant. A large number of weapons, armors, agricultural tools, etc. can be produced here every day. It will produce weapons and agricultural tools according to the situation.
Most of the weapons and armor of Li Miao's forces came from here. This time, Li Miao left a total of 30,000 sets of weapons, armor, and weapons to the Liaodong Bureau. Although the quality is a bit poor, it is estimated that the arsenal and agricultural tool factory will have to adjust their production tasks again.
The iron mine is about a hundred miles away from Zhuanghekou Port. It is an important resource mine of Liaodong Bureau. There are now more than 2,000 young miners. This time Li Miao brought back more than 14,000 mining slaves at once, and he used too much force.
However, as the Liaodong Bureau develops, these mining slaves will play a huge role.
Liaodong Bureau now also has a cement factory, which requires a large number of laborers. Now the quality of cement has been greatly improved. The fortresses of the Liaodong Bureau began to use cement to build mausoleums. The newly built mausoleum is stronger and more durable.
With this group of mining slaves, we can open several more cement plants. Once the entire Dalian area is captured, cement will be needed to build bastions and build roads. The expansion of the cement plant is imminent.
The more than 3,000 Guangxi girls brought this time quickly formed new families in the Liaodong Bureau. The Liaodong Bureau is lacking nothing but women. These girls suddenly became popular.
The current total population of the Liaodong Bureau does not include the personnel of large and small ships temporarily supported. It has exceeded 100,000 people. Of course, this includes the more than 30,000 people Li Miao brought this time.
The senior officials of the Liaodong Bureau have been very busy these days. Mine slaves are treasures. The Liaodong Bureau is too short of manpower. In a few days, the iron mine deployed five thousand slaves. The cement factory temporarily arranged four thousand mining slaves.
More than 5,000 young men were originally mobilized. These people are all the original guards of the tomb. After they were liberated, the Liaodong Bureau's combat effectiveness rose to a higher level. Everything in the Liaodong Bureau is in order. Digesting the gains brought by Li Miao.
Li Miao brought more than 30,000 people. The mine slaves were a treasure and were quickly exploited by the Liaodong Bureau. This made up for the shortcomings of the Liaodong Bureau's reduction of the guard force in order to develop industry.
The more than 3,000 girls were treasures, and they were absorbed by the bachelors of the Liaodong Bureau within a few days. It stabilized the emotions of many guards. But many brothels began to complain that doing so would affect their business.
These brothels themselves are also the property of the Liaodong Bureau. It was opened by the Liaodong Bureau to appease the sailors and guards on sea ships. There are always pros and cons in everything.
Besides, the Liaodong Bureau has so many large and small ships, so the brothel business will not be bad. The original business was too good, which was not a good thing in itself. It showed that there were too many bachelors in the Liaodong Bureau. The population structure is unreasonable.
Now Li Miao was originally most optimistic about more than 12,000 Annan sailors. Instead, it became the biggest problem. Just use it as your own, I'm not too reassured. Use it as a mine slave, it's too wasteful. And we don’t need so many people now.
Besides, Li Miao had made a promise earlier, and it was obviously impossible for Li Miao to break his promise. Even Li Miao now feels that the promise made at that time was too hasty. Most of these people still have relatives in Annan Kingdom. Can it be raised well?
Li Miao made the final decision. According to the principle of voluntariness, those who are willing to stay in the Liaodong Bureau forever will be subject to the original policy. The Annan sailors who still think about returning to China in five years can only stay in the Liaodong Bureau as bookmakers.
In the end, almost half and half, more than 6,000 people had nothing to worry about in Annan Kingdom. Keep being a sailor. Li Miao Sailors are too scarce now. The joining of more than 6,000 sailors solved an urgent need.
Of course, these sailors are not completely reassured. They will also work under appropriate supervision. I guess it won't be a big problem. Once you pass the assessment, you will be your own person from now on.
As for the remaining 6,000 sailors, they can only live under supervision. Their life is still much better than that of the mining slaves, at least they still have a monthly salary to earn. For the Liaodong Bureau, it also added more than 6,000 laborers.
