This is not the first time Li Tengkong has returned to Lushun. Whether she sent Li Linfu to visit her relatives every year since then, she has visited Lushun a lot. But every time she comes here, she feels novel, as if this new city changes every night.

Even though she came to attend the funeral this time and was not in the mood to appreciate Lushun now, she still couldn't help but suck.

Dongmujun Wharf is probably the largest wharf in the Tang Dynasty, but compared with Lushun, it is still much worse. Within her vision, there are at least twenty large ships, thirty or forty small and medium-sized ships gathered in the port.

"Those ships are our warships, ten ships over there." Ye Chang pointed to the ship path at the southwest.

The Liaodong Navy is affiliated with the Liaodong Marine General Administration Office, with a staffing of 3,000 people. In fact, it has more than 20 warships of all sizes, more than 50 fishing boats, and more than 60 fire attack ships. Its main warship is the "Lushun" ship built last year. If this ship is in another life, it will be just a small boat with a displacement of 250 tons, but at this time, it is a giant on the sea.

In addition to the navy, Lushun also has the Shipbuilding Administration and Trade Bureau, which has more than 30 merchant ships of all sizes, five of which specialize in routes from Lushun to Dongmu, transporting people and cargo, and five of which run the Bohai Sea Inland Channel. Five are parked in the port for maneuvers, while the remaining fifteen are long-distance commercial routes such as Silla, Japan and Mingzhou. The longest of them is to go directly from Lushun to Guangzhou, and it takes half a year to travel back and forth.

The arrival of Ye Chang and Li Tengkong did not cause any disturbance on the pier. The Lushun pier was too busy. Although they were on a special boat, they would not attract much attention.

The one who came to welcome Ye Chang was Ye Ying.

"The situation is okay, how is my father-in-law?" Knowing that Li Tengkong is concerned about his deceased father, Ye Chang helped Li Tengkong step onto the land and asked Ye Ying.

"Monday Duke..."

"I still call me Shiyilang, you and I are of the same clan, and are different from outsiders."

"Yes" Ye Ying was excited and smiled a little on her face.

Ye An, Ye Ying, and Ye Ting were the first to come to Ye Chang among the nephews of the Ye family. Now, besides Ye An, they are still in Chang'an, and are considered the central figures of this small political group. Ye Ying and Ye Ting have all been outside. If they are not together, they will inevitably have some estrangement and strangeness, but Ye Chang is just a title, which makes Ye Ying feel that the estrangement and strangeness are gone at all.

"The old husband was buried ten days ago. On the auspicious day, he was buried in Hongfeng Ridge. It was the place where the old husband had visited when the Shiyilang came back to accompany him. He invited the Taoist priest and the monk to ritual to save the rituals. There were tens of thousands of people who were attending the funeral..."

After telling the scene at that time, Li Tengkong couldn't help crying again as he listened.

"Miss Kong, don't be sad. Birth, old age, sickness and death are the world's justification. My father-in-law is over 70 years old and has a glory and wealth in the world. He has never enjoyed the passing of this time, and is also a joyful and joyful delight. If you always cry like this, it will make the old man feel uneasy in the sky." Ye Chang comforted.

Li Tengkong also knew that the dock was not a place to cry. He suppressed his grief and asked for some details. After thanking Ye Ying, he and Ye Chang boarded the prepared carriage.

The streets of Lushun are not inferior to Chang'an, spacious and flat. Ye Chang considers his future development, they are built wide. In his imagination, even in twenty years, the streets here will not appear narrow. The carriage left the dock and drove onto the right road. He saw Ye Ying, who was sitting opposite the same car, and said with a smile: "Is there anything wrong?"

"Recently, news of the old Xianggongxian going has spread. There are many people from all walks of life here. Some people are malicious. There are at least three groups of such people on the dock. There are Bohai, Silla, and An Lushan, and some are scattered. The people sent by An Lushan are quite honest, but Silla and Bohai are jumping up and down, and they have sent too many people."

Speaking of this, Ye Ying stopped and then said: "A crossbow and sword were found on a Shira ship."

In order to cultivate the folk martial arts style, Lushun does not ban swords and swords, but bans. Only those who hold hunters can purchase crossbows. The arrow tip clusters used must be products made by Lushun Iron Tool Workshop, with numbers on them. If you want to practice crossbows, you must go to the training offices of each county to collect them, and then reclaim them uniformly after the training. The arrow clusters must be regularly counted and inspected without leaving them out. The weapons manufactured by Lushun Iron Tool Workshop are far better than Silla, and it is impossible to buy crude goods from Silla. The other party uses ship to transport weapons to Lushun, and his intentions are obvious.

"I don't remember the goods I'm going to kill. If we hadn't occupied too much land and had too little population now, I'd go and wiped it out." Ye Chang snorted: "How did you deal with it?"

"The outside is loose and tight inside is tight, and everyone has people watching, so they don't have an opportunity to take advantage of it. When they were at the dock just now, they were still honest."

"Well, flies and mosquitoes, kill a group of people and then come. Keep a close eye on the academy and workshop, be careful not to let them steal it." Ye Chang did not doubt the others, but just pointed out a few key points again.

After his carriage left, on the edge of the dock, a group of Silla merchants who had originally gathered together slowly left.

"After our dog, are you here too?" Seeing that everyone around him was his own people, one of the Silla people whispered.

"Yes, there are three there, and Lushun is willing to pay the capital and stare at us with three people."

"I think the same goes for the Bohai people... Ye Chang must have a headache. Since Lushun is a mall, he must open the door to welcome guests. He can't close the door even if he welcomes evil guests like us... Hahaha, those dogs today are probably scared to us. Seeing so many people gathered together, I'm afraid I'd think they were going to deal with Ye Chang."

Everyone laughed. They were ordered to come here, not afraid of Lushun's arrest, because they had no other abnormal movements except for being sneaky. What if Lushun arrested them?

"Stay for a night first and then go to Hongfengling?" Ye Chang asked on the carriage, seeing Li Tengkong's face was tired, seeing that he looked tired, he said.

"No need, Ye Lang, thank you for your hard work, let me take me to Hongfengling today." Li Tengkong's eyes were a little hollow.

Ye Chang said that she was eager to miss her father, so she didn't say anything else. The carriage left Lushunfang District, headed northwest, and turned into the mountain road. It was said that it was a mountain road. Because it was connected to the salt field, the road was also well-built. The cement in the middle of the road was hardened, and the carriage was not bumpy. About two quarters of an hour later, we arrived at a mountain ridge with maple trees on the mountain. It was not autumn at this time, so the maple leaves were not red and were still lush.

The mountains are beautiful and the scenery is pleasant. After the carriage turns into the path, the green shade completely blocks the sunlight and doesn't feel the heat at all.

Not long after walking, I entered a valley, with birds singing and doves blowing, and the mountain breeze blowing slightly. A flat land facing north and south of the valley is Li Linfu's cemetery. A generation of powerful traitors, and he was able to end up here, which was considered to be his blessing from his son-in-law.

However, it was not this that everyone was concerned about, but Ye Chang. Three crossbow arrows penetrated into the carriage just now, and I don’t know if Ye Chang inside was injured.

"I'm fine." Ye Chang said in the carriage: "Catch the assassin."

Ye Ying was originally both jealous, but after hearing this, he remembered that Ye Chang's carriage was not an ordinary carriage. Its appearance was made of wooden, but in fact it was embedded with a thin steel plate inside and a layer of skin covering it. Its defense is stronger than an ordinary shield.

So although those crossbows were strong crossbows, they did not penetrate the carriage, and only one branch that penetrated into the window shot into the carriage. However, the position of the carriage window was at a certain angle to the position where Ye Chang was sitting. Unless Ye Chang was stretched out his head to look outside the carriage at that time, he would not be able to shoot Ye Chang at all.

He was also concerned about it just now and was confused.

"Catch the Assassin"

Even so, Ye Ying was still angry and embarrassed. Why did Ye Chang arrange him in Lushun? Didn’t he think he was loyal, brave and reliable? As a result, such a problem occurred within his jurisdiction. How did he explain to Ye Chang?

The guards split half and chased them to the place where the crossbow arrow shot out. It was only more than ten steps away, and the number of people on the other side was not large. After a while, a scream came out, and the guards dragged three bodies back to the road.

"Why didn't you leave a living?" Ye Ying was angry again.

"It's the dead soldiers, they committed suicide." The guards who went to capture the people felt helpless.

"Don't tell me." Ye Chang snorted: "Move the branches away and continue."

Six guards stepped forward and helped the coachman move the branch away. Ye Ying got into the car and looked at Ye Chang with shame: "Shiyilang, it's my fault, I'm too negligent..."

"You are a little negligent." Ye Chang was also a little dissatisfied: "After going back, you will send additional personnel here. Don't disturb Kong Niang, don't tell her about my assassination. In addition, the monsters and monsters in Lushun will be cleaned up, and those who have evidence will be killed, and those who have no evidence will be expelled."

Ye Ying responded, knowing that Ye Chang was really angry.

"Li Yuan, please write it down. After you go back, you will send a messenger out to let Luo Jiuhe and Ye Ting pay attention. Perhaps there will be abnormal movements between Bohai Kingdom and Silla."

"Where is An Lushan?" Ye Ying asked anxiously.

Ye Chang was irritated by the movement. It is not difficult to judge from his tone that he might have to punish Bohai and Silla to a certain extent. This is inevitable that Liaodong lacks labor, especially in hard-working and high-risk industries like mines, basically all foreign prisoners of war are used. Among the Dashi and prisoners of war in the Hezhong Kingdom captured by Ye Chang in the 11th year of Tianbao, nearly 10,000 people worked hard in the iron ore, coal mines and quartz mines in Liaodong. Ye Ying had long hoped to find an excuse to continue fighting outside.

Ye Ying also wants to be able to lead the army and stand on his own, for example, to confront An Lushan.

"An Lushan..." Ye Chang frowned.

Perhaps it was the original inertia of history that Ye Chang's victory in Anxi made An Lushan's position in Li Longji's heart become higher and higher. Li Longji obviously balanced Ye Chang's influence with An Lushan and other Hu future. Other Han generals, Li Longji, could not believe it. Therefore, An Lushan now has nearly 100,000 troops in his hands and has half a river and half a road to support his financial resources. In fact, his troops should be around 180,000.
