    Li Chengqian¡¯s face darkened.

    ¡°You finally had a chance to show off, but you lost it like this.

    So he was no longer interested in translating the meaning of the poem for Sister Hippo.

    When we reach Mount Tai, we are close to Qizhou.

    It took a day to enter Qizhou, and then started looking for Cheng Wenxiao¡¯s hometown.

    Dong A Turtlejiu Store.

    I have already asked Mr. Cheng about this place.

    Now that we are here, a forbidden soldier ran to the county magistrate to ask, and found the direction. Then he searched all the way and finally came to a large courtyard.

    The style of this rough courtyard is a bit like that of the Cheng family.

    When the imperial guards came to call the door, the two gatekeepers thought it was some foreigner who was not discerning.

    "What are you doing? This person is a guest!" A clear female voice said.  He stopped the two gatekeepers.

    After Li Chengqian saw it, he couldn't help but smile.

    He said to the woman: "The visitor is a free traveler."

    The woman's body trembled, and she turned around. When she saw Li Chengqian sitting on the horse, she was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't help but smile.

    But after she smiled, she immediately controlled the smile on her face, not wanting Li Chengqian to think she was happy to see him.

    She said: "Why don't Xiaoyaoke stay in Chang'an? What are you doing here?"

    Li Chengqian smiled and said, "We've all come home, so don't ask us to go in and rest!"

    They were singing and playing the double act, but the people next to them were confused.  Especially the generals of the Cheng family did not know Li Chengqian at all.

    "Miss, who is this person? Which young master from Chang'an is he?" the general asked.

    The Cheng family has been settled in Chang'an for more than ten years. Not all the generals here know who the young master is, so I asked.

    Cheng Wen Xiaoqing glared at the general and said, "This is King Xiaoyao coming. Please invite them in quickly. What are you doing standing here stupidly?"

    She finished it herself.  Went up to him first.

    Looking at the already slim Cheng Wenxiao, the appearance of her face has not changed, but she has become more solemn and mature, and her body has grown a lot, her chest is bigger, and her hips and thighs are thicker.  It really makes people feel like this is a mare.

    Li Chengqian jumped off the horse and hugged Cheng Wenxiao, who was looking at him crazily, and couldn't let go of the hug for a long time.

    After a while, Cheng Wenxiao nudged Li Chengqian, walked away shyly, and walked over to talk to Sister Hippo.

    The two of them had met before.  Both of them have grown up a lot now, but they are still recognizable.

    After making out for a while, they moved into the Cheng family yard.

    In the next ten days and a half, Li Chengqian either stayed in the house, talked to Cheng Wenxiao, and said all the things he had not said in the past year.  Or let Cheng Wenxiao take him around.

    In Jinan, Shandong, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, a large number of peasant uprisings broke out, overthrowing the tyrannical Yang Guang.  The first peasant uprising in the late Sui Dynasty, King Bo of Changbai Mountain, revolted in Shandong.

    This Changbai Mountain is not the Changbai Mountain that everyone knows.

    The nationally famous Changbai Mountain is a mountain on the Heilongjiang side of North Korea.

    And in Shandong.  There is also a mountain called Changbai Mountain, just beside Mount Tai.

    The reason for the uprising at that time was that Yang Guang wanted to conquer Goguryeo, build ships, and transport grain, so he wanted to recruit strong men from Shandong.  When a strong man smokes, he rarely comes back, so he is dissatisfied and dissatisfied.  Rising in rebellion.

    There are many good men in Shandong!

    So in Shandong, we still have to be careful in terms of governance, and we can't do what Yang Guang did.

    "Why have I seen conscription going on so many times?" Li Chengqian couldn't help but ask after staying here for several days.

    Cheng Wenxiao asked as a matter of course: "They were originally soldiers. After they started farming, they were needed to work in Zhechong Mansion, so we let them go."

    In the military-civilian system implemented in the Tang Dynasty, the people were soldiers, and the soldiers were the people.  When there is war or military needs, the strong peasants can pick up swords and guns and go to the front lines to fight. After the war, they can return to their fields at home and plant the fields and become citizens.

    So Li Chengqian knew that what he saw at this time was just a transfer.

    "There has been a war in Qizhou recently, and it is necessary to mobilize troops?" Li Chengqian asked.

    ¡°It¡¯s impossible. I haven¡¯t heard of anyone messing around recently.

    "The imperial court issued an order to transport grain to Youzhou."?" Cheng Wenxiao said lightly.

    Youzhou, over there is in Hebei.

    Li Chengqian thought about it and felt that something was not normal.

    He stared at Cheng Wenxiao, she was obviously half-said.

    Cheng Wenxiao was looked at by him for two seconds, and then he did not persist and said: "I'm afraid there will be a war in Youzhou next year."

    "Youzhou? Over there in the northeast?" Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, then immediately thought, "Fighting Goguryeo?"

    By the way, we can only hit that place.

    Whether it is an ancient war or a modern war, food and grass arrive first before the troops are launched.

    Now that Shandong has mobilized militiamen to start transporting grain, it should be that the imperial court has already made plans and started to prepare early this year.

    And Cheng Wenxiao didn¡¯t tell herself just now because she thought that she had stepped down from the position of prince because she could not manage politics, so she didn¡¯t want to tell him about it.

    Li Chengqian in turn comforted Cheng Wenxiao by saying that the matter was over and there would be no more danger.

    In the next few days, Li Chengqian actually went to the place where grain was transported to see the long convoy, which was quite spectacular.

    ¡° Moreover, the vigilance of the convoy was very high. When Li Chengqian came over, he was almost arrested. Only after revealing his identity could he take a few more glances.

    After looking at it for a long time, there was nothing interesting to see, so I went back.

    I heard from Cheng Wenxiao that there are also ships being built in Donglai.

    The ships over there were built much earlier.

    Li Chengqian understood why it was early, because the queen wanted a big ship, so she asked these famous shipyards to build ships.

    When Yang Guang attacked Goguryeo, he used this place to build ships. There must be good shipbuilding masters here, so it must be the right thing to use.

    Now, Lao Li also wanted to conquer Goguryeo, so he took over the shipyard where the queen was building a ship.

    I don¡¯t know if the Queen¡¯s ship has been requisitioned.

    Think about it, Lao Li is a strict wife, so he shouldn¡¯t dare!

    Originally, Donglai was too far away to see what shipbuilding was like, but after Li Chengqian stayed here for a few days, he got interested again, so he grabbed Cheng Wenxiao and went over there to have a look together.

    We crossed half of Shandong and arrived at the coastal city of Donglai.

    Donglai is Laizhou City, Shandong Province in later generations.

    With proof of identity, I successfully entered the shipyard, saw the warships being built, and unexpectedly heard the news that a small number of naval forces were already training here, and even two artillery pieces were sent.
