"The national destiny of the Yuan Kingdom is really at an end." More than half a year ago, he also helped the Yuan Kingdom and the hungry Yuan army get a large loan from Other Rongshan, and the food and salary were issued. Reasonably speaking, with food in the stomach and stability in the hands, how could they lose so quickly and so miserably! "How was the last battle fought?"

The Li brothers shook their heads: "We were not on the front line, so we don't know much, but I heard that the northern front actually won a few victories, and then pursued the victory, but I don't know how they were defeated by the Grand Marshal, and many, many people died."

He He Lingchuan didn't understand: "I have seen General Zhao Pan's attack and deployment, which was quite stable; how could he easily fall into the enemy's trap?"

Zhao Pan has always been famous for his defense.

Not to mention the experienced old general like Ke Ke Jihai, who had fought countless rounds with the Grand Marshal in a year; how could he be defeated so suddenly?

The Songyang Mansion disciples looked at each other, and there was no answer.

"And then?"

"The Grand Marshal took advantage of the victory to go south, forcing his way to Shihan and the capital." Li Mingrong said, "Then we received the order to go to sea, and we don't know what happened later."

He He Lingchuan hesitated before asking: "Then, what about General General Changning He He Chunhua in the south?"

"Ah..." The Li brothers thought for a long time, "I haven't heard that he has any movement."

"Yes, it seems he has always been in the south and hasn't moved."

Speaking of this, the Li brothers suddenly remembered that this Island Owner He also had the surname "He"; could it be that he had some connection with General General Changning? Of course, He He Lingchuan didn't say, and they didn't ask, just muttered to themselves.

In fact, over the past few months, He He Lingchuan would occasionally think of He He Chunhua's family.

He He Chunhua returned without success for the second time in the Panlong Desert and should have been punished by Nai Luotian, but it should not be life-threatening. After all, which god would kill a spokesperson who has soldiers and power in his hands?

Then He He Chunhua has been sitting still and watching the northern front collapse; what does he mean?

Is he going to accumulate strength? After all, the encounters of Generals Ke and Zhao have already proven that the northern front is like the big mouth of a glutton; no matter how much gold, silver, food, salary, and human life are thrown into it, it cannot be filled.

The He He Chunhua he knows will not fill the power he has worked so hard to accumulate into it.

Now the northern gate of the country has been broken, and the Grand Marshal is driving straight in, pointing his sword at the Yuan capital.

What does an ambitious person like He He Chunhua intend to do? He He Lingchuan sighed for a long time; the drama that will happen in the Yuan Kingdom in the future must be like a horror story.

Perhaps, it has already happened.

After all, during the two and a half months of the Songyang Mansion disciples' journey, the war in the Yuan Kingdom did not stop.

He He Lingchuan had a premonition that the next news from the Yuan Kingdom would definitely shock him! At this time, He He Lingchuan remembered with embarrassment that he hadn't asked about the recent situation of the Songyang Mansion.

"The whole Yuan Kingdom is panicked, and the casting business is getting worse and worse, and it can't be done at all. The Marquis had to move the headquarters to the White Elephant Kingdom of Between Beijia." Li Mingrong said, "In fact, the Songyang Mansion has been shrinking its affairs in the Yuan Kingdom for the past few years and slowly shifting its focus to Between Beijia."

"The Marquis hasn't been optimistic about the Yuan Kingdom for a long time, right?" Even He He Lingchuan felt that this country was difficult to find a way out, so how could a shrewd businessman like Li Li Qingge not know how to plan ahead and transfer industries? The current situation in the Yuan Kingdom only shows that her layout is correct and forward-looking.

Li Mingrong was silent, and then said: "Over the past four years, the Marquis has donated materials to the Wang Ting several times, and the value has exceeded two million."

But this country is deeply trapped in the quagmire, and it cannot be pulled out by individual strength.

Li Mingyang also said: "Fortunately, the Songyang Mansion is also an official merchant of Between Beijia, and its funds and connections are all abroad, otherwise it would have been received and confiscated by the Yuan Wang Ting long ago."

He He Lingchuan remembered that he went to the Yuan capital as a special envoy of Other Rongshan and witnessed the eating habits of officials at all levels of the Yuan Court, and had to admit that Li Mingyang's worries were not groundless; the hungry Yuan Court could indeed do such things.

"Forget it, those are all old things, and they have nothing to do with us anymore!" He sighed in his heart and raised his glass to toast, "Come, wish the Songyang Mansion to branch out and develop and grow in this new land!"

Everyone toasted and drank it all.

After the wine, the Songyang Mansion disciples returned to their rooms to rest. They came from afar and were tired from the journey, so they needed to wash away the dust and recuperate.

Li Mingrong came to find He He Lingchuan privately and said in a low voice: "The Mansion Master has a few things and entrusted me to secretly transfer them to Island Owner He."

"Secretly" means to avoid others, even other Songyang Mansion disciples should not know.

Afterward, he took off a ring from his left hand and respectfully offered it to He He Lingchuan.

This is just a silver ring, the color is a bit dim, and the style is particularly simple, just a small silver ring without any carving. But when He He Lingchuan took it in his hand and probed into it with his divine sense, he was suddenly moved:

"This, this is too precious!"

There is a stack of silver notes in the storage ring, stacked neatly, and the face value of the top one is 100,000 taels! In addition, there are more than ten magic tools in the storage ring; He He Lingchuan didn't take them out to look closely, but caught a glimpse of another small pile of ore.

He didn't recognize most of the ore, except for Yu Gold.

When the great master craftsman Li Li Fubo repaired the floating life, one of the necessary materials was Yu Gold.

Just that one piece cost 120,000 taels! Now, a large piece of Yu Gold is also lying in this storage ring.

Li Mingrong said in a low voice: "There are 1,000,000 taels of silver notes in here, twelve pieces of high-quality magic tools cast by the Songyang Mansion over the years, each of which can be sold for more than 100,000 taels, and various rare ores and materials, with an estimated total value of more than 3,000,000 taels."

"What does the Mansion Master mean by this?" Li Li Qingge is also big-hearted; if the Li brothers capsize in the sea, all the treasures in the ring will be lost.

"The Mansion Master said that settling down requires capital. Everything is difficult at the beginning; she hopes this money can be helpful to you."

"This is charcoal in the snow!" He He Lingchuan sighed, "How can I accept it for nothing?"

He is short of money, so short that his pockets are clanging; the Yangshan Archipelago cannot be self-sufficient yet, and Yu Yu Zecheng's ransom has only been paid half, and all expenses are basically supported by him alone.

At this moment, what Li Li Qingge sent is a timely rain!

Three million, even for the Songyang Mansion, is a large fortune.

Li Li Qingge didn't send all silver notes, which shows that this money was hastily put together.

Li Mingrong smiled: "This money is not given to you for nothing. It is to be counted as the Songyang Mansion's investment in the Yangshan Archipelago and included in the shares. This is debt-to-equity swap; you have to pay dividends on time!"

"It should be so." Even if Li Li Qingge didn't mention it, He He Lingchuan planned to do so.

"In addition, the Songyang Mansion will have priority and discount rights when mining mines and purchasing real estate and shops in your territory in the future." In the final analysis, the Songyang Mansion came to open a branch in a foreign land, and the purpose is to expand influence and make money, not just to do charity.

"Small matter." He He Lingchuan agreed immediately, drawing the cake big and round for others first.

The Songyang Mansion Master is really a wonderful person; other women repay kindness by promising themselves, but she likes to invest heavily in life-saving benefactors.

She is really an angel investor.

He He Lingchuan is as clear as a mirror, knowing that this is the good cause he planted in Lingxu City, which has finally borne good fruit today.

If he had refused to help Li Li Qingge because he was in trouble at the time, who would have sent charcoal in the snow today?

Passing by the sparsely populated seaside, he couldn't help but laugh loudly toward the sea, startling a beach of gulls and egrets.

I have money, I finally have money!...

The next day, He He Lingchuan summoned Ding Ding Zuodong and other subordinates and announced directly: "The full-scale development of the Yangshan Archipelago, starting now, is all launched!"

Due to funds and manpower, the Yangshan Archipelago only developed fourteen islands in the early stage, and Longji Island only developed one-fifth. "Ah?" Everyone was stunned until He He Lingchuan slapped the silver notes on the table.

Worth a million taels, bright silver notes! "Ah—! Yes!" Everyone's eyes lit up.

Once the money is in place, everything is easy to talk about. Ding Ding Zuodong and Guan Ke were secretly surprised, not knowing where the island owner got hundreds of thousands or millions of silver from, besides extorting Yu Yu Zecheng of Between Beijia.

Although Yu Yu Zecheng rented a courtyard in Suoding Island for a long time, it also took time to raise money, and so far he has only taken out less than 300,000.

Clearly, the proprietor was still frowning and stretching his elbows not long ago.

Steal, rob, or borrow, money is money, and throwing money can produce results.

"How much effort did it take to recruit so many laborers before? It's a pity to let them go after the palm harvesting season ends." Ding Ding Zuodong didn't want to be beaming, but he couldn't help it, "Since we are now well-funded, it's just right to let them transfer to the full-scale development of the archipelago."

During the palm harvesting season, the Yangshan Archipelago had nearly 13,000 laborers at its peak. As the bulk commodity procurement ships sailed away from Blade Harbor and the Yangshan Archipelago, the number of people on the archipelago fell in response.

Most of the laborers are short-term workers; when the work is done, the proprietor won't pay them, so they naturally have to leave. If the Yangshan Archipelago opens new projects, they will stay if they have money to receive and food to eat, and the progress of the project on the island can be greatly accelerated.

Winter is the slack farming season, and the wages are naturally cheaper than in spring and summer.

Qiu Hu activated the formation and brought out the sand table of each island.

"The overall design of Suoding Island has been released, and the next step is to build according to the map." Fang Fang Canran had already planned Suoding Island before leaving, and how to implement it is He He Lingchuan's business, "The shops and inns in the middle, and the residential houses and refined houses by the sea must be built, ready to attract investment; the landscape around Ding Lake is too cold and scary, it's simply an eyesore, redo it all!"

"The residential area planned for Black Page Island is too small, at least expand it by two times, and leave enough space for the market on the side. Now the spontaneous market on Black Page Island has taken shape; on the first and fifteenth of the month, residents from surrounding islands go to the market, so the wharf must be rebuilt and the road must be widened and leveled."

"Islands that can accommodate people must have roads repaired, especially the roads on agricultural islands must be widened and straightened to facilitate transportation."
