On the tall King of Qi, Li Yan stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the dark land in the distance, where Linyi City was now completely controlled by him, but it was his first time to come here. Beside him, there were several noble ladies, among which Wu Meiniang stood beside him, and beside Wu Meiniang, Wu Meiniang and Princess Jiang Yuanshi stood.

Li Zhen and Li Yun have been training troops in Linyi for several months. The grassland people were originally born cavalry, and Li Zhen and the military academy students who came with him all learned systematic training methods. Therefore, in just a few months, the 50,000 grassland cavalry organized had been trained and could be put on the battlefield at any time.

After hearing this news, Li Yan didn't know whether to be happy or worried. Li Zhen and Li Yun were influenced by him to embark on this path. Although Li Yan knew that if Li Zhen and Li Yun could really build a piece of land overseas, it would be a good thing for both the Tang Dynasty and him. At least they expanded the living space of the Han people, and also set an example for the royal family of the Tang Dynasty, so that future princes and grandchildren will see another hope.

But this road is full of unknown dangers, especially for Li Zhen and Li Yun. Perhaps as soon as they arrived in India, they would be killed by an inexplicable disease, and might die in a conflict with local natives, etc. For these unknown dangers, everything needs to be faced by Li Zhen and Li Yun themselves.

Thinking that Li Yun was only in his twenties and Li Zhen was even less than 20 years old, Li Yan couldn't help but feel a little worried, and even had the urge to stop them, and at least they had to wait for a few more years. But reason told him that Li Zhen and Li Yun were ready in all aspects, just like a bow with a full string. The momentum had reached its peak. If he stopped this bow from shooting the arrow out now, it would probably only make the arrow lose the momentum of moving forward.

"Little sister, when I came, I saw that you brought a lot of things with you. What exactly are they?" Wu Meiniang next to him suddenly asked her sister Meiniang in a low voice. After their family reunited some time ago, although Wu Meiniang wanted to accompany her mother, sister and younger sister every day, she had control of the intelligence system of the Qi Wang Mansion and had too many things to deal with, so except for the first few days, she rarely stayed with Meiniang at other times.

Although Wu Meiniang has married Li Zhen, she is still very thin. After hearing her second sister’s question, she blushed and said, “How can there be so many things? They are just some food and food brought to my husband, and some clothes made by my younger sister. I don’t know when my husband will pick us up here?”

As soon as Wu Meiniang finished speaking, Yuanshi next to her was also a little sad, but she was older after all. So she smiled and comforted Wu Meiniang, "Miang, don't worry, Meiniang, the eighth brother and his husband brought a 50,000 army this time, and with the help of the sixth brother, and this time she just won a place to settle down. There is definitely no danger!"

Although Yuan wanted to comfort Wu Meiniang, he had no confidence in his tone. However, Wu Meiniang smiled and said, "You are concerned and confused, two princesses. In fact, the battlefield is not as terrible as you think. When I was in Japan and your sixth brother, the army on the front line was full of good news, and we were always in the small town behind. With the protection of the army around us, there was no danger at all!"

When Wu Meiniang said this, she suddenly looked up at Li Yan, then lowered her voice and said to Mei Niang and Yuanshi: "I'll tell you another secret, Australia was pregnant at that time!"

When Wu Meiniang heard that all this secret matter was told, Wu Meiniang and Yuanshi were immediately distracted, and they all stepped forward to pull Wu Meiniang aside and asked in a chattering manner. Li Yan, who was next to him, sighed. No matter how noble the woman was, their nature was the same, especially when they heard such gossip, they had no time to care about her husband's life and death!

After Linyi was taken over by Li Yan, the grain export trade here became more prosperous, and some grain merchants were no longer satisfied with purchasing grain from Linyi. Instead, after purchasing land in Linyi, they hired locals to grow rice. In this way, the cultivation and purchase of grain were all in their hands, and the cost was saved several times.

In addition, there were Han people in Linyi who came to mine. Although the scale was not as large as that in Luzon, and no gold mine groups like the Pine Plateau were found, many lead ores, silver ores and copper ores with abundant reserves were found. With the application of muskets, the demand for lead in the Tang Dynasty and Taiwan increased greatly. There were many lead ores in the Tang Dynasty, so they were not worried. However, Li Yan did not have any decent lead ores in his hands. Unexpectedly, some were found in Linyi, which also made Li Yan pay more attention to Linyi and also increased the local garrison.

It is precisely because of the prosperity of grain exports and mining that the ports in Linyi City are even more busy, with countless sea ships entering and leaving every day. However, the current port of Linyi has been controlled by Han officials, and Li Yan has also sent many experienced officials to manage the port. In addition, Linyi Port has also been expanded, so the entry and exit of Linyi Port is very orderly and there will be no congestion.

Li Yan's King of Qi did not enter Shang Port, but entered the military port next to Linyi Port. There was a navy stationed here, with fifteen large warships, each of which was about a thousand tons, equipped with fifty artillery guns, and many auxiliary warships, with very strong combat power. The entire Nanyang was under the threat of this fleet.

After entering the military port, Wang Kuang and Cui Yu were already standing on the dock to greet them. The two of them were captured by Li Yan and forced to abandon business and enter politics. They are now in charge of Linyi's government affairs. It can be said that except for being unable to intervene in the military, they are the local emperors of Linyi, and their words are much more effective than the puppet Fan Zhene.

When they saw Li Yan get off the boat, Wang Kuang and Cui Yu immediately stepped forward to pay their respects. Although the three had a good personal relationship, they were all Li Yan's ministers in such formal occasions, so the etiquette must not be abolished. Then they met the two princesses and led them to Linyi City to rest.

By the morning of the next morning, the things unloaded from the ship had been loaded. Li Yan, Wu Meiniang and the two princesses boarded the car and rushed to a plain south of Linyi City. It turned out to be a garrison in Linyi, but it was now requisitioned by Li Yan and lent to Li Zhen and Li Yun to train the grassland cavalry.

When Li Yan and the others arrived at this plain, they saw dust flying on the plain, and cavalrymen appeared and disappeared in the dust, as if rehearsing some formation. Behind these troops, there was a high platform, and a commander holding the flag waved the flag and commanded the cavalry teams to run back and forth.

Now the training of the grassland cavalry is coming to an end and its combat effectiveness has been greatly improved. However, it is precisely because of this that Li Zhen and Li Yun's affairs are getting busier and busier. So even if he knew that Li Yan and the others were coming in advance, he didn't have time to go to the dock to greet them. Li Yan and the others understood this very well.

However, although he did not go to the dock to greet him, Li Zhen and Li Yun were waiting for them outside the training ground. When they saw Li Yan get off the car, they immediately stepped forward to support him and said, "Sixth brother has worked hard all the way, but I have been waiting for a long time!"

Although the two were talking to Li Yan, their eyes couldn't help floating towards the two cars behind. They obviously missed their wife, and now they were just perfunctory Li Yan. Seeing this situation, Li Yan was also angrily shook off their hands and said, "Okay, the two brothers and sisters came from all over to see you, don't neglect..."

Before Li Yan could finish his words, Wu Meiniang and Yuanshi also opened the car doors respectively. When Li Zhen and Li Yun saw their wife, they didn't care what Li Yan said, and immediately threw away Li Yan's arm and went to find their wife. As a result, Li Yan was so angry that they secretly scolded these two guys for being more slutty than friends.

When Li Zhen and Li Yun first arrived in Linyi, the training task was not very heavy, so they also had time to go back to Taiwan to visit their wives. However, the training task became heavier and he wanted to take responsibility and establish the image of a prince among all the soldiers who share the joys and sorrows with everyone, so they have not returned to Taiwan for more than two months.

As the saying goes, a small separation is better than a newlywed. Li Zhen and Li Yun met their wives, so they naturally had endless things to say. Although Li Yan didn't want to disturb them, the place was wrong. They were still at the gate of the military camp, so they had to interrupt the conversation between the two couples and talk about what if they had to go in. Now Li Zhen and Li Yan felt a little embarrassed and hurriedly let Li Yan into the military camp.

This plain is very close to Linyi City, and Li Yan also plans to use it as a place for training and garrisons, so there are solid barracks and all facilities are perfect. Li Zhen and Li Yun live in two adjacent yards. Both yards are built in a unified manner, with almost no difference.

For example, there is only one main room inside, and the decorations in the room are very simple. Apart from a bed separated by a screen, the rest is a sand table, which is the map of Ceylon Island. This is their first stop to India and the first combat target.

Seeing that my husband lived in such a miserable place, there was not even a bathtub for bathing, there was only one well in the yard. According to Li Zhen and Li Yun, after training, they drew a bucket of water from the well and washed it. Anyway, the weather in Linyi was hot, so they could not use hot water at all.

Li Yan didn't think much about this. If he wanted to do something, he naturally had to endure hardships. And this little hardship was nothing at all. The mining search team in Luzon was really complaining. But Wu Meiniang and Yuanshi secretly began to wipe their tears, and they always felt that their husbands were wronged. After all, when they were in Chang'an, they were all princes with rich clothes and food, so how could they have suffered such pain?
