Ye Zhiliang's face drooped, so he had to exchange three more plum blossom nails made of pure gold to lure her: "Then this is for you, it's very beautiful when inserted into the bun, and can also be used as a hidden weapon."

Seeing that the plum blossom concealed weapon was exquisitely crafted, Liu Xuan wanted to look up at Mingran's face.Mingran said: "This is good. It's not only valuable, but also worth looking at. Since Mr. Ye rewarded you, please accept it quickly. Mr. Ye is indeed very good at light kung fu and concealed weapons. You can give him some points, Xiaopin." Follow along to learn about face, and you will benefit endlessly throughout your life, just don't imitate his behavior."

Ye Zhiliang sneered and said: "What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me? I'm willing to teach your disciples my skills. I'm so generous and decent, but you send people outside. No matter how bad I am Stronger than you!"

Ming Ran clicked his tongue twice: "Everyone in the Ming Xiang Army knows that you are difficult for others, why bother?" Seeing that Ye Zhiliang wanted to lose his temper, he quickly pulled Liu Lin out and pushed forward: "I will lend you my apprentice, let me teach you!" , so that you won’t be bored and cause trouble.”

Yu Jinfeng took Ashu to the other side of the school grounds. He finally found some free time, and planned to teach Ashu something first, but he came here to see it. Seeing that it was so lively here, and Ye Zhiliang was there, he was afraid that he and Ashu Calculating the old account of the previous poisoning, he planned to leave Ashu again: "Since there are so many people, let's come back another day."

Ah Shu hesitated, slightly moved his hand.Yu Jinfeng looked at him sideways, and saw him staring at Liu Xuan, Mingran and the others with envy in his eyes.He suddenly felt sad, and whispered: "Let's go, we will come back later."

Unexpectedly, Mingran turned his head and saw the two, so he stared at them for a moment, and Yu Jinfeng hurriedly urged: "Go, go." "What are you going, come here."

The two had no choice but to stand still, Mingran saw that Ah Shu was also holding a bow in his hand, so he approached slowly: "What are you here for?"

Although his expression was calm, his previous record of provoking trouble as soon as he saw Ah Shu was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Yu Jinfeng glanced at him and remained silent.Ah Shu took a deep breath and boldly said: "I... my master is gone. Brother Feng said that he would teach me kung fu in person in the future. I didn't expect so many people here. Let's go back first and come back later."

Mingran looked him up and down, and smiled slightly: "Why bother, come and learn together."

His tone was serious and there was no joking in it.Yu Jinfeng always felt that it might not be so simple, but he didn't know what he wanted, so he hesitated to answer, but Ah Shu's heart was beating wildly, his face was flushed, and he said, "Is it really possible? Actually, you don't need to trouble Master Ming, Feng Brother, he said he taught me..."

Mingran smiled and said: "He taught you? If it is about archery, I taught him. Why don't you just come and learn from me. I can drive a sheep, or a group of sheep. It just so happens that Xie Jue has returned to Yunjing recently. You should be with Liu Xuan as a companion."

He waved away the shy and eager Ashu, but Yu Jinfeng didn't follow, but squatted down by the side of the school field, turning into a thoughtful, solemn and dignified curly lion, and said to himself, "It's not that simple." But how complicated it is, he can't say it, he can only stare at the two of them, afraid that they will be hooked up under his nose, and also afraid that Mingran will suddenly make things difficult for Ah Shu.

So anxious and uneasy until dusk, Ah Shu finally turned back with a smile, and held on to Yu Jinfeng's arm: "Brother Feng, I think I did a good job today. What do you think? What do you think of me?"

Yu Jinfeng forced a smile: "Not bad."

Ah Shu said: "Really, Brother Feng? Then your archery skills were really taught by Ming Xiaohou?"

Yu Jinfeng: "He just pointed out a few words casually, I rely on myself, I am very talented, hum!" He was a little uneasy, but seeing Ashu's face full of excitement, he couldn't say anything more, so Sending him back to Mingfeng camp, he went to Mingran's dormitory by himself.

The guards on duty greeted him in no surprise. Qia Mingran was having dinner, and the two maids who were preparing the dishes brought him cups, dishes and chopsticks. Yu Jinfeng began to eat worriedly.He has been here for a long time, but it is rare for him to have such a sad expression. The two girls kept peeping at his face, and the atmosphere in the whole room froze for a while.

Mingran asked: "What's the matter, don't you think it's delicious?"

Yu Jinfeng took a look at the delicious food on the table. Although he has already traveled to sea and claimed that the military salary is tight, the meal specifications are still compared with those of the Yunjing Yongjiang Marquis Mansion, and there is no ambiguity at all.He hurriedly said: "Where is it, it is my highest honor to come to Ming Xiaohou to make a living here." After a moment of hesitation, he tentatively said: "What are you going to do with Ah Shu? You might as well say it clearly, don't fool me all the time. It's disturbing."

Mingran said: "Don't worry, I don't like him."

Yu Jinfeng said: "How can I not worry, it doesn't matter if something happens to either of you." He thought it would be best to talk about it in a fair manner, so he held his bowl and moved closer to Mingran, Baba Jie Jie peeled two shrimps for him and sent them over: "Actually, you have been suspicious of him. After all, he disappeared for a while after he left the capital of Gaochang. The place where we met him was not appropriate, and someone poisoned Ye Zhiliang again." I have a criminal record, but I can't let him go, so I try not to let him appear in front of you. No matter how wronged he is, I will keep him in the Mingfeng camp. Xiaoran, don't let him get too close to you, just stay away Is it okay for the land to be safe? The right is to... give me face."

Mingran: "Isn't it giving you face that I treat him better? You should have more face."

Yu Jinfeng smiled shyly: "Let's forget it. I don't want him to come to the sea by force. When I return to Yunjing in the future, I will find a way to find a proper place for him to settle, so that he won't dangle in front of your eyes." Shake away."

Mingran stopped the cup and chopsticks, rested her jaw on her hand and meditated for a moment, then said softly: "I understand, you don't need to worry about it."

Yu Jinfeng stared at him, his heart grew vigilant: "What do you want to do?"

His tone was a bit fierce, Ming Ran frowned slightly, and he raised his chopsticks and knocked on his hand: "How can there be such a rampant disciple who eats your food, and even the seat owner's affairs must be taken care of in every aspect, and you are not easy to get used to."

He ignored Yu Jinfeng's muttering in private at all, and asked Liu Xuan to call Ah Shu over the next day. Liu Xuan rushed to Mingfeng Camp to look for Ah Shu, stammering in Central Plains dialect, with a sincere tone and a shy expression. , Ah Shu was just getting what he wanted, ignoring Yu Jinfeng's blackened face, and happily followed.

Once it started, it was out of control. Yu Jinfeng accepted the three thousand soldiers dispatched by Wen Jiaxiu, and then prepared to attack Xuanji Island and Yuetan Island adjacent to Shixue Island. He was very busy for a while. , really couldn't find time to discipline Ah Shu, so he had no choice but to let him go, thinking that since Mingran had promised himself, he would not get rid of him easily, and it would be fine for a moment.

Xuanji Island and Yuetan Island are not far from Deshixue Island. Wen Jiaxiu took Yu Jinfeng, Wei Shuangqiao and others to the front line. It was expected to be won in six months, but it was surprisingly easy. Yue Kung Fu attacked it.It turns out that the Tianmi clan has dominated the sea for a long time, and even the pirates from all walks of life would run away when they encountered the narrow road. I didn't expect the Mingxiang army to be so brave and good at fighting.Therefore, after Shi Xuedao suffered a big loss, before he could reflect on it, and the island's military equipment did not increase much, the Mingxiang Army swept in again, and was caught off guard again.

Agitated, the few people ambitiously wanted to go directly to Huanglong, and then to attack Twin Islands, so they sent a message to Mingran asking him to move to Xuanji Island to discuss the big plan.

Seeing that the two islands were captured, Mingran hurriedly opened the commercial road to Bailu Island. Although due to the war a while ago, there were only a few tourists passing by, word of mouth from merchants will surely continue to prosper in the near future.The shopkeepers of the Yongjiang Marquis Mansion also cleaned up and loaded the porcelain, silk, tea and other things that are loved by the people of the South China Sea countries on board.In order to guard against pirates, four warships were dispatched to escort them, and the fleet went south to sea.

At this time, Wen Renyu and Xie Jue also turned back respectively, and Wen Renyu drove the new mother-child ship serial boat, etc., and escorted back some grain and grass.Xie Jue brought back the military salary and the rewards from Lord Zhu Luan, although they were not many, they were barely justifiable.Everyone moved to Xuanji Island in a mighty way. Wen Jiaxiu and Yu Jinfeng heard the news and went dozens of miles away to pick them up on the island.

Mingran and Wen Jiaxiu exchanged pleasantries, and seeing Yu Jinfeng's bulging left arm, he stretched out his finger and poked it a few times, but Yu Jinfeng didn't dodge, gasping for breath in pain.Mingran said: "Are you injured again? You know you are too delicate, but why can't you be more careful?"

Yu Jinfeng sighed: "Swords and guns have no eyes, swords and guns have no eyes, am I doing this for the sake of Ming Xiaohouye's plan, and I am desperate!"

On the second day, he volunteered to accompany Mingran to patrol the island. Mingran first took him to see the new warship that Wenren Yu drove back.The serial captain is about six feet long and looks like one ship, but it is actually a combination of two ships. Attached with detachable hoop.The mother-child ship is slightly smaller in shape. The mother ship is equipped with side boards on both sides, and the hull is hollow. A four-paddle boat is placed on it, covered by a cover plate. The mother-child ship can be divided into two at any time.

Mingran took him to see them one by one, and then told him: "In the future, you pick a group of smart and capable soldiers to come to Wen Renyu, and he will teach you how to use ships to fight against the enemy. First try a few times, and if you think it is feasible, we will Build apps in bulk."

Xuanji Island and Yuetan Island were comparable in size to Shixue Island, and it took the two of them more than a day, but only [-]% of Xuanji Island was gone.At dusk, the two slowed down at the same time. Mingran stared at the vast expanse of land in front of him, and suddenly asked, "How do you think this large flat land will be reserved for future reclamation?"

Yu Jinfeng groaned before answering, Mingran said: "At present, the East China Sea business road is divided into two places. The Bailu Island business road goes directly to the Fujian region of Zhuluan Kingdom, while the larger business road is on the Shenying Island side, connecting Cangpei Kingdom and the Thirteen Allies of the Western Regions. It is not in our hands. Although the population of the various islands is small, they all make a living by fishing, but with the prosperity of business in the future, the resident population will increase, and port cities will definitely be formed. Fishing alone cannot sustain The rations of so many people. You see, we are allocating the food and grass of the Mingxiang Army from Zhuluan Kingdom, because the distance is getting farther and farther away, and it is much more labor-intensive and time-consuming than the initial situation. It will be more inconvenient in the future. Of course, the business will definitely benefit a lot. , but if you buy food with money from other places, it is very easy to be choked by others. After all, rations are nothing compared to other things, and you can’t lose it in a day. Self-sufficiency is the only way to be safe.”

At some point, he actually started to think about various matters in the East China Sea, and he seemed to be planning a strategy to control the overall situation.Yu Jinfeng looked at him meaningfully, and the more he watched, the more satisfied he felt, so he seduced him and continued: "Then what the lord means is to prepare the soldiers to start farming?"

Mingran said: "It's too early now, I can't feel at ease for a day if the Tianmi people don't die, and the most urgent thing is to eradicate them first. So this time I let Susu accompany me, let her come out these days to see Look, is the soil on the island suitable for growing crops? She used to only grow flowers and grass, but as far as I know, planting crops and growing flowers have a lot in common, and I can't find anyone who is proficient in farming here. Let her take a look at it first. When I have a chance, I will go to Zhu Luan Country to find some people who are good at farming and come to give me advice."

Yu Jinfeng lashed his horse's hip with a whip: "My lord, take a step to speak." The two horses galloped away, separated from the guards and went up to a small hill in front of them.

It is early spring, and dozens of early cherry blossoms grow sparsely on the slope. The noisy and brilliant light pink is swaying in the wind.The sea water in the distance spreads layer by layer, gradually changing from moon white to dark blue, deep and vast.The two got off their horses, and Yu Jinfeng looked back at Mingran. Today, the lord has a white robe with a silver crown and black shoes with arrow sleeves, and a begonia-colored brocade around his neck. When he slightly lowered his head and looked at the sea and sky, his eyes were clear and calm but full of confidence. Like a famous sword waiting to be unsheathed, it is beautiful and sharp.

He couldn't help being a little dazed, calmed down, approached Mingran and reminded in a low voice: "My lord, how to use the commercial roads, how to develop the island, and how to build the city in the future seems to be the Lord Zhu Luan's concern."
