Seeing Li Jun watching Shi Bao and his soldiers play polo with relish, Tong Meng couldn't help but say, "My good brother, why are you still in the mood to watch the game!"

Li Jun said: "What's wrong?"

Tong Meng said, "What's wrong? Brother, you are asking questions knowingly. All the people who come with us have arranged the arrangements. Even the man with low martial arts skills named Han Bolong went to Zhenrong with Zhu Fu to do business, but the three of us brothers have no arrangements!"

Li Jun said: "My brother has been too busy these days, and he has been pushing back and forth about taking a concubine. How can I arrange my time?"

Tong Meng said: "Otherwise, I don't think the two can be confused. Taking a concubine is a private matter, and arranging us is a public matter. Private matters can be recommended. How can we do it? Besides, it would be fine if everyone didn't arrange it, but it's only us who haven't arranged it. What's the reason?"

Li Jun said: "Brother has his own reason."

Tong Wei said: "I think Erlang is right. Although Brother Li Yan invites me to have a good wine and meat banquet every day, he never arranges me to wait. It's really unreasonable."

Tong Meng said: "Both, Brother Shi Bao, Ou Peng, Jiang Jing, Ma Lin, Tao Zongwang were all taken by his brother to come to Liangshanpo. There is no reason why they were valued, but their brother was idle!"

Li Jun smiled and said, "You two are just anxious. Let me ask you, what do you think of your brother?"

"This... a hero." Tong Wei said.

Tong Meng hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not just Renjie. He has created such a big family business in less than two years. He can also impress so many good men. Even Brother Shi Bao praised him endlessly. It would be a bit deficient to just use Renjielian to describe it."

Li Jun smiled and said, "Isn't that all, why can a person like his brother not consider it thoroughly?"

Tong Meng said: "But I have been waiting for more than three months..."

Li Jun looked at Bai Yun in the distance and said, "Maybe my brother is not ready yet..."

At this moment, a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes rushed to the distance.

As soon as he saw Li Jun and the other two, the young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes said, "Why are the three brothers here? Let me have a meal and find it easy!"

Li Jun quickly bowed and said, "What's the matter with me, Brother Ding Liu?"

Wang Dingliudao: "It's not me who finds three brothers, but brothers who find you."

It was Li Yan who looked for them, and Tong Wei and Tong Meng were happy. Li Junze said, "You can't let your brother wait for a long time, let's go quickly."

When Wang Dingliu heard the words, he guided Li Jun and the other two.

While walking, Li Jun asked, "Where is my brother?"

Wang Dingliudao: "Shipyard."

When Li Jun heard the place Wang Dingliu said, he said to himself: "I'm afraid the errand I'm waiting for is coming soon."

...

Before they arrived at the yard, Li Jun and the other two saw four large ships.

These four large ships are all three-masted sailboats, which are nearly one bow larger than the largest ships now.

Li Jun was a shipboat and knew very well about ships. When he saw this big ship, he knew that it was an ocean-going sea ship, not a river ship. It was impossible for the river ship to be so big, and it was impossible for it to have so many sails.

"How could my brother build such a big sea boat?"

With this question, Li Jun came to Li Yan and others, and then bowed to Li Yan and said, "Brother!"

Seeing Li Jun, Tong Wei and Tong Meng come, Li Yan said, "Look at how this ship is?"

Li Jun said: "A good ship...but it seems like a sea ship..."

Li Yan said: "Yes, it is indeed a sea ship. The most advanced sea ship that the Meng Kang brothers and Ye Chun brothers built together."

Meng Kang said: "Brother, don't be proud of me. Without my brother and sister-in-law, brother Ye Chun and I can't create it!"

Ye Chun also said: "The Master Li and his wife are both gods, which makes us ashamed and enlightened!"

Meng Kang and Ye Chun are not praising Li Yan and Liu Huiniang. In fact, after Meng Kang and Ye Chun joined forces to get out the sea boat pattern, Liu Huiniang gave many reasonable suggestions based on her extensive knowledge, while Li Yan also gave many advanced suggestions based on her own insights, so that Meng Kang and Ye Chun could build these four sea boats.

Of course, even so, these four sea ships are just test items. In the future, Meng Kang and Ye Chun will adjust and upgrade according to their usage.

Li Jun couldn't help asking: "What are your brother building a sea boat?"

Li Yan said leisurely: "I plan to use them to find a way out for my brothers, and then open up two ways of wealth for me to sank Liangshan."

actually--

Originally, Li Yan had never thought about going overseas soon.

He originally planned to resolve the crisis from the court first, and then slowly plan it.

But not long ago, two major events suddenly happened, which made Li Yan make this decision temporarily.

The first major event was that the matter of establishing Zhao Huan as the crown prince in the first month of Song Huizong Zhao Ji, who had originally decided to establish Zhao Huan as the crown prince in the first month of the first month, was delayed. Not long after, the news that Zhao Ji did not like Zhao Huan came out in Bianliang, Tokyo, which made the faction that was originally optimistic about other princes see hope again, and thus led to the war in the court that had just calmed down. Many powerful officials even stepped down from power. Cai Jing, Wang Fu, Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng, Gao Qiu and other powerful ministers always pay attention to the changes in the court to prevent being eliminated and have no intention of other things.

In this way, the water of Liangshan is probably safe for a period of time.

The second major event was that Emperor Tianzuo of Liao began to notice the threat of the Jurchens and ordered a personal expedition. However, the Liao army was defeated by the Jurchens everywhere, and the Jurchens began to rise. In the victory of the attack on the Liao Kingdom, Wanyan Aguda was named emperor, changed his name to Wanyan Min, founded the country and named "Jin" and the reign of the country, and the capital was set up in Shangjing and called Huining Prefecture. In other words, the most powerful enemy of this era has already stepped on the stage.

In addition, Meng Kang and Ye Chun built the sea ships again, and there were still four.

Therefore, Li Yan decided to go out to sea to find the Myth Island, which is Jeju Island located in the east of Jiangsu, between Goryeo and Japan.

If Jeju Island can be found successfully and then occupied, then Li Yan and the brothers in Shuibo Liangshan will have a way out. If they are defeated in the future, they can hide in the scenic Jeju Island for the second half of their lives.

However, this is just by the way. Li Yan is not so unwilling to be so ambitious. Now he is racking his brains to find a way out for himself.

There is another very important reason why Li Yan wanted to take over Jeju Island: If he owned Jeju Island, Li Yan could use it as a springboard to trade with Goryeo and Japan to open up a great source of wealth for the waters of Liangshan. You should know that the silk, tea, porcelain and other things of the Song Dynasty are expensive luxury goods in these two countries, while the horses of Goryeo and the silver of Japanese are all good things that Li Yan wants very much!

Moreover, Li Yan, who had traveled to Jeju Island, knew some of the history of Jeju Island. At this time, there should be only one small country called Danluo Kingdom on Jeju Island. The small country has a population of up to 10,000 or 20,000, and its weapons are extremely backward, so it should not be too difficult to occupy it.
