The sunset casts golden lights on the rippling river surface, forming a strong contrast with the gradually darkened sky, so that the people on the boat can't open their eyes; the cold wind mixed with water vapor kept pouring into everyone's neck, as if to warn people to leave their territory as soon as possible.

The late autumn day was about to pass again, and the white sails passing through the Songjiang River began to gradually become less and less. After a busy day, the fishermen and boatmen leaned their boats to the nearby pier. The boatmen killed fish, washed vegetables, and washed rice on the deck. They were very busy. In a short while, the smoke rose above each boat, and the rich aroma of rice floated across the entire river.

Li Ming slowly walked out of the cabin, looking at the joyful scene in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh at the tenacious survival and adaptability of human beings. Who could have imagined that the place in front of him was still a vast flood a few months ago, and who could have imagined that there were white sails here in a short time.

This place seems to be not far from Shuncheng, where Li Ming was flooded at that time. I thought that the flood was flooding and the torrents were rolling. The Songjiang River was no longer a place. All the ships of all sizes were washed away and disappeared. But now, the roaring water god has restored her elegant and quiet nature, and the clear river water began to flow obediently in this wide and busy Songjiang River. In less than half a year, people who were washed away by the flood had gradually recovered their vitality. Although they were not as good as before the flood, there are now the shadow of the busyness of the Songjiang River. Newly built fishing boats, cargo ships, and passenger ships coming and going, and the sound of the boaters who were going up against the current began to echo on the river surface again, and the prosperity of the south reappeared in people's sight.

Sitting slowly on the bow of the boat, Li Ming took a deep breath of cold and humid air, and the long-lost feeling came to his heart again. How long has it been, while the intrigue and deceitful imperial city was struggling, Li Ming was always thinking about this moment. The foundation he had created with hard work was about to be reborn in front of him. How could he not make him feel excited? Zhang Yao, the Holy Hand King, and Xiao Cui so many people, how could he not make him miss him?

After leaving the Imperial City, the group traveled back day and night to reach their destination as soon as possible. Fortunately, Nanguo City has a wide range of water and land transportation, and Songjiang, which leads directly to the Mianshan Lake, just passes through the city. Therefore, after the soldiers of the same team as Team A outside the city, a group of people hired three large ships nearby at a dock. Since the money given to the boatman is two or three times that of ordinary people, everyone from the boatman to the guys is full of energy. They withdraw their sails and rush on the river, wandering day and sleeping overnight. In less than five days, they arrive near Shuncheng.

Although these three large ships were very conspicuous along the way, they were still safe. The flood in Songjiang has just retreated for not long, so there were not many large ships like them. There were only some very small fishing boats coming and going on the river to catch fish. When they saw their large ships, they hid far away, for fear of sinking the guys they were eating.

Li Ming's internal strength, which was not his own, was tamed by him two days after he set out. The effect of Lin Lingfeng's five-year pure internal strength on him was very obvious. Now he is really a world of difference from before. At this moment, he only felt his whole body tense and full of strength. The martial arts moves that were difficult to use before were now extremely easy to practice. On weekdays, I can't see clearly what is five hundred meters away. But now, as long as my vision is not blocked, small animals two or three thousand meters away can still see clearly. This makes Li Ming, who is a little myopic, ecstatic. Who would have thought that internal strength can actually treat myopia?

Zheng Yu's injuries were getting better day by day under Li Ming's careful care, but his internal injuries were very serious. Lin Shuang's deep internal strength was not just a joke, so although his health improved day by day, his martial arts were almost completely useless. He was originally handsome and elegant, but he could only lean on the edge of the cabin with a gloomy face every day, living a life of food and clothes opening his mouth. Even if Lin Long came beside him, he would not take a look, and looked outside the window all day long.

I know what I was thinking. Lin Lingfeng saw it and was anxious, but he was helpless. After all, he was not good at relieving a person's thoughts. Fortunately, Zheng Yu has been very close to his master's wife since she was a child. This matter was only solved by Mrs. Lin after returning to Linjiazhuang. In front of him, he tried his best to persuade Lin Long to accompany Zheng Yu in order to eliminate the shadow in his heart. However, Lin Long's reaction can be imagined. With her personality, she would never do anything she didn't want to.

Of course, Li Ming was not idle along the way. Apart from treating Zheng Yu, the rest was the time when he hid in the cabin to make plans for future development. In his own era, he always envied those leaders' glorious and colorful life all day long, but when he sat in this seat, he realized how troublesome it was. When he was on Biquan Island in the past, he did not have a overall development plan. Except for the medical school, he was necessary to handle everything else, and everything else was done casually. Fortunately, at that time, the industrial and social foundation of Biquan Island was a zero, and everything could be developed. But now it is different. From Lin Lingfeng's narrative, he had learned that the island's industry has developed to a critical moment.

Since he left, the weak Zhang Yao resolutely took on the leadership of Biquan Island, temporarily calming down the panic atmosphere on the island, and with the full assistance of the Saint Wang and others, he gradually took care of everything on the island in a vivid and vivid way. Now, the scale of the island's tea factory is already very large, with more than 1,000 tea pickers alone, which is more than doubled than when he left. More than 3,000 kilograms of tea leaves transported from the island every day, and this item is the only one.

The income of a day is as high as 700,000 taels of silver! The income from tea alone can make Li Ming reach a point where he is rich enough to rival a country. Therefore, other products such as glass, steel, oil and other things that are beyond the times are not sold to the outside world, but are stored in caves on the island for Li Ming to use after he returns. People outside only know that Biquan Island is a place that produces the best tea industry and is a production center for such luxury consumer goods, and rarely knows other things.

Due to the exponential growth of tea sales, Wang Tao's transportation fleet has also been organized. Now there are more than 30 large and small transport ships, with more than 30 escort ships. In addition to being responsible for the transportation of tea, the main work is concentrated on the transportation of Mocheng Petroleum. According to the modern oil refining knowledge left by Li Ming, the scale of the refinery hosted by Chen Yu has been expanding repeatedly and further updated the original refining equipment. Although it is still the simplest atmospheric fractionation, the efficiency of fractionation has increased greatly. Of course, with the increase in output, the demand for crude oil is also increasing day by day. Wang Tao's fleet is heading to

The frequency of returning to Mocheng is also increasing. In order to better supply crude oil, a large-scale crude oil pool has been built outside Mocheng City. More than 2,000 people collected the surface crude oil scattered everywhere and concentrated it in the oil pool for storage. Although there is no other oil product now except kerosene that can replace candle lighting, since Li Ming attaches so much importance to this kind of thing, it must be due to other functions. Therefore, although Li Ming’s life and death are unknown and there is no news, Zhang Yao still strictly followed Li Ming’s previous practices and invested a lot of energy in the development of the refinery.

Of course, these situations were also what Lin Lingfeng hurriedly stayed on the island for a few hours after receiving Lin Long's Feige's letter, and learned from Zhang Yao that due to the tight time and Zhang Yao was excited after learning that Li Ming was safe and had nothing to do, he often cried in the narrative, so he didn't tell much about the specific situation.

Lin Lingfeng's face was full of pity when he mentioned Zhang Yao. Since he left Biquan Island, he has been in Linjiazhuang to manage his business and train his men to enrich the power of Biquan Island. After receiving the letter from the Saint Hand King, he hurried to the island. Unfortunately, he encountered this flood that was rare in a century on the way, which made him stand in a dilemma halfway. After finally waiting for the flood to retreat, it was already a month later when he arrived on the island. In this way, Lin Lingfeng hurried to Nanguo City after learning the specific situation. After meeting King Kang, he learned about Li Ming's death. At the same time, he also testified that the Taifu Master Zhou and the emperor's imperial edict were commended by the emperor. Even though Lin Lingfeng was knowledgeable and experienced storms, he was still in a state of destruction and grief. However, after the sadness, he still had his own thoughts. He knew that Li Ming's martial arts were.

He had already achieved some success. In that case, although there was a possibility of death, it was not ruled out that there was a chance of escaping. After all, Li Ming possessed the Taiqing mastery of his Lin family and the peerless martial arts of the Lin family. It was not impossible to escape under that situation. It was not impossible to believe it easily before he actually got the news of Li Ming's death. So after returning to Biquan Island, he did not tell the truth to Zhang Yao, but said that Li Ming was still being interrogated in the imperial city. He knew that Zhang Yao could not bear such a blow. Instead of letting her know the truth, it would be better to let her live in hope. Others, including the Saint King, Lin Lingfeng did not tell the truth. He knew that these people were all for Li Ming's reputation and accomplice. Once he knew the truth, it was hard to guarantee that no one would have a second thought. After all, Zhang Yao alone could not control so many heroes in the world.

In the days that followed, Lin Lingfeng often went to the island to help Zhang Yao solve some problems, but he still had a lot of things in Linjiazhuang, so it was impossible to stay on the island for too long. Unexpectedly, after taking responsibility, Zhang Yao became a different person. She had no opinion before, with the full support of the Saint Wang and others, she was able to take on this responsibility in just one month, and managed everything on the island in an orderly manner. This made Lin Lingfeng feel very pleased, so he did his own thing in Linjiazhuang with confidence. Until this time, he returned to the island after he received Linlong's urgent letter.

Zhang Yao became more haggard in nearly half a year. The double pressure of Li Ming's concerns and busy affairs on the island made her even weaker. If her internal strength was not good, she would have been exhausted long ago.

When Li Ming heard Lin Lingfeng take these things to him, his heart was about to break. He really didn't expect Zhang Yao to be so strong and take on such a heavy burden under such circumstances. Li Ming knew that Zhang Yao was all for him, and that he would not be disappointed when he returned to Biquan Island in the future. For himself, she worked so hard and worked so hard. Li Ming actually understood all this kind of affection.

So, now Li Ming has changed his previous laziness and has to consider future plans when he takes time. She doesn't want to disappoint Zhang Yao. Now the island is well managed by Zhang Yao. If it falls in a landslide after taking over, it will disappoint her new ideas. In any case, she should work harder.

Through the two-day compilation plan, Li Ming roughly determined the outline of future development. First of all, of course, it is necessary to do a good job in immigration to refugees. When they left the city, the raising of food and grass for the army had already begun. Jia Yi was with Lin Long for more than half a year, and Lin Long was absolutely at ease with his ability to do business. Moreover, since Lin Long gave him this code name, he began to not allow others to call his real name. This person's talent and loyalty are not a problem, so there should be nothing wrong with him monitoring this matter there, not to mention that the imperial city and Lin Shuang were in charge.

With the support of food and grass, the immigration publicity and organizational gathering work must be handed over to Lin Long. She has lived in the disaster area for more than half a year. She should be very familiar with the situation in the disaster area. Moreover, there are tens of thousands of refugees around him doing publicity for her. I believe that it will be a response. If time is fast, the work of relocating 100,000 refugees can be successfully completed within two months.

Of course, immigration is not just about convening. Migration is as simple as migration. A series of things such as ship transportation, road paving, house reconstruction, land division, distribution of relief grains, management of residents will definitely follow one after another. If you don’t plan it in advance, it will definitely make Li Ming frustrated. Fortunately, Li Ming comes from modern society and has much more information on such things than here. Moreover, Li Ming does not want to move the model of this era to the island. He wants to take advantage of this opportunity to establish his ideal social order, social mode and social rules on the island while new immigrants enter the island. With the help of some systems of modern society, the basic social forms on the island will be a big leap.

However, Li Ming did not intend to establish a system like socialism and capitalism. After all, the people here cannot change their ideas so quickly. If they are too free and too democratic, it will be unfavorable to management. So at present, Li Ming will have to be the marquis on this island for a while.

A hand gently put on Li Ming's shoulder and woke Li Ming from his thoughts. Li Ming turned his head and pulled Lin Long, who was standing behind him, and sat down next to him, ran aside the chaotic things in his mind, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong? Didn't the master ask you to accompany Zheng Yu in the cabin? Why did you come out? He fell asleep?"

"Hmph!" Lin Long glared at him unhappily and said angrily: "What's wrong? Not happy to see me? Dad is really, even though I know I hate him, I still ask me to talk to him and treat me as someone? This time, if you have such a request, I would rather have a breakup with him than accompany that ungrateful guy. You don't know how disgusting his eyes look at me, I really want to kick him out. I should have taken a heavy move outside the Ming Palace, so I'll beat him to death."

"Shut up! How do you say? You're unhappy to do this?" Lin Lingfeng walked out of the cabin in response, looked at Lin Long and said unhappily: "Yu'er was seriously injured and now she lost all her martial arts skills. She will definitely not be in a good mood. You go and talk to him and let him relax his mood. After all, he is still your senior brother."

"He was taking it upon himself!" Lin Long jumped up from the ground angrily, stood in front of Lin Lingfeng and stared at his nose and said, "Who asked her to do these things that deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors? She almost killed his elder brother with one palm. I will never forgive him such a person! But Dad, I want to ask you, where have the rules you always talk about on weekdays? Others will be punished if they violate the rules. Why do you let him go if Zheng Yu makes such a big mistake? He bullies his master, harms his fellow disciples, and surrenders to the government. Which one should not be punished by three swords and nine holes and broken Tianling? Where has the master of Lin, who is clearly rewarded and punished on weekdays? Where has the rightful owner of Lin gone? I am not convinced!"

"You." Lin Lingfeng was so angry that his face was pale, his whole body trembled. He raised his palm and was about to thrust over Lin Long's face. But when he saw Lin Long's stubborn gaze, he hesitated for a moment. Lin Ming hurriedly ran to the two of them and grabbed his hand. At the same time, one hand quietly reached behind and pushed Lin Long.

"Long'er, I really have my own difficulties. I hope you can understand." Lin Lingfeng put down his palm dejectedly and looked at Lin Long and said in pain.

"I know, isn't it the thing that Uncle Zheng saved your life? You want to repay your kindness, so I've been disgusted with Zheng Yu for a long time." Lin Long said disapprovingly: "But these are two different things. Uncle Zheng is a hero, and Zheng Yu is incomparable to him. If Uncle Zheng is still alive now, he would definitely not let Zheng Yu go, because what Zheng Yu did is really unforgivable! Dad, it's not Long'er who chooses you, you're really too hiding with him this time."

"Long'er, stop talking!" Seeing Lin Lingfeng's paler and painful expression, Li Ming hurriedly interrupted Lin Long's words, pushed her back, and said, "Although Zheng Yu made a mistake, he did not die of sin. During this period, he did not do anything that would harm the will of heaven. Although he had slapped me, he went to restore my internal strength in disguise, and also made me accidentally connect it to Yijin Jing, so there was no need to hold him accountable. At the same time, if it weren't for his rescue, I would have died under the assassin's sword. Therefore, he not only had no mistakes, but also had great contributions. You shouldn't have held a grudge against him so much."

After hearing what Li Ming said, Lin Long's anger subsided slightly, and his furious consciousness began to recover. Seeing Lin Lingfeng being so angry by her, she couldn't help but regret it secretly. She hurriedly stepped forward and hugged his arm, and whispered: "Dad, Long'er was too impulsive just now and shouldn't have said such unpleasant words."

Lin Lingfeng sighed, reached out and touched Lin Long's long smooth hair, and said sternly: "Actually you are right. I'm really protecting him. If it were someone else, I'm afraid I'd have been able to take a slap. But Zheng Yu, I really can't do it, not only because of his father's affairs, but also because I have long regarded him as my own son. Can anyone in the world be willing to kill his son with his own hands? At least I can't, I can't do this, so I won't care whether you say I'm covering up or not. Alas, I decided to do this. No matter who opposes anyone, I don't care what I do?" After that, he shook his sleeves and turned into the cabin.

Li Ming and Lin Long immediately stood there and were amused and crying. Lin Lingfeng's last few words were a bit like cheating, but as he said, who can do anything about him in the world?

Although the conflict passed and after hearing what Li Ming said, Lin Long no longer looked cold to Zheng Yu, but she still refused to be by Zheng Yu's side, and Li Ming didn't want to. After all, every man was jealous, so Lin Lingfeng had to talk to Zheng Yu himself.

After dinner, the sun had already returned home early, and only a bright moon hanging in the sky was still spreading light to the earth. At this moment, silver light flashed on the Songjiang River, which was very beautiful. Occasionally, fish foraging at night jumped out of the water from time to time, adding some cheerful sound to the gradually quiet river surface.

Lin Long leaned on Li Ming's shoulder, closed her eyes and enjoyed the silence of the autumn night. Although it was already very cold now, she didn't care at all, and she was still wearing a white gauze long skirt tightly wrapped around her body, making her figure look convex and extremely charming. Li Ming, who was wearing a thick coat, was also very moved. She actually remembered the beautiful scene of her wedding night with Zhang Yao.

However, just when Li Ming finally couldn't bear it and wanted to move Lin Long, Lin Long's eyes suddenly opened, which made Li Ming feel embarrassed. However, Lin Long seemed to have no intention of blaming him. She just raised her head and turned her head to look at the distant downstream river surface, with a light of vigilance flashing in her eyes.

Li Ming was startled and realized that Lin Long might have heard something, and his internal strength was too different, so he had not heard any abnormality yet. But since Lin Long cared so much, the unknown threat might be quite large, so he hurriedly stood up and stared at the upstream river surface, trying to see something.

Gradually, Li Ming's increasingly keen ears began to hear something, which was the sound of paddlings. Logically speaking, it was not a big deal to appear on the Songjiang River, but the fishermen's habits were to dock the boat before the sun set, and no ship was willing to sail after dark. This was not only for the safety of the boat, but also a long-term fixed habit. Therefore, the sound of rowing slowly approaching in front of him aroused Lin Long's vigilance. The person who came was either having a huge urgent matter or had bad intentions.

Gradually, Li Ming could see the shadow of the coming ship clearly. This was a narrow and long fast ship. This kind of ship was very rare on Songjiang because it had no other functions except for its very fast speed. When the cargo ship could not load a lot of cargo, when the fishing boat was too big, it was even worse when it was a passenger ship. The hull was narrow and no one was willing to make such a ship. Therefore, this kind of shipyard was used to transmit or investigate information between officers, soldiers and navy forces. But in front of him, the moonlight night was so strange that the ship appeared.

Lin Long looked at Li Ming and said to him softly: "Don't move here, I'll go and see what's going on. At the middle of the night, the sound of changing the boat was very gentle, saying that he had no malice towards us and no one believed in him. Don't go over, I'm alone enough." After that, she rose up and disappeared from Li Ming's sight from afar.

"Don't worry about her, this kind of thing is too common for her." Lin Lingfeng's voice suddenly sounded behind Li Ming. Li Ming hurriedly turned around and said happily: "Master, why are you?"

"Shh." Lin Lingfeng hurriedly signaled and said in a low voice: "Yu'er just fell asleep. Don't disturb him. I've heard the sound just now. With Long'er here, there is no need to worry about anything." Lin Lingfeng's expression at this moment was like a kind father, full of love when he mentioned Zheng Yu, which made Li Ming envious and jealous.

The boat ahead was getting closer and closer, and the sound of rowing became more and more obvious. The direction of the boat also changed. The narrow bow of the boat was obviously coming towards them. It seemed that they either wanted to dock or were unfavorable to Li Ming's three big ships. At this time, the people on the boat could see clearly. There were more than 30 burly men. They were all shirtless on the surface of the river blowing with wind, with their bodies exposed as twisted muscles as they were sweating all over, and they were waving the long slurry in their hands.

In a short while, the Clipper leaned against the big ship where Li Ming was. As a man shouted in a low voice, the rowing men waved the slurry in his hand forward. The Clipper suddenly stopped on the river surface, and then two huge iron anchors were thrown into the river. As everything was done, everyone on the ship pulled out long swords, spears and other weapons from behind, and looked at the big ship in front and was about to jump up. It seemed that Li Ming and the others had encountered a group of water thieves who had been bad for eight lifetimes.
Chapter completed!
