Chapter 229: Double happiness!

The place Li Yin pointed to is today’s Taiwan, Yizhou in the Three Kingdoms period, and Ryukyu in the Tang Dynasty. In this period, Ryukyu can be said to be a land without an actual ruler. It only has some scattered tribes. There is no formal government, and the real development of Ryukyu was during the Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties, especially Zheng Zhilong in the late Ming Dynasty, who transported a large number of refugees from the Ming Dynasty to Ryukyu, which allowed Ryukyu to develop.

If the Yizhou Navy wants to develop and grow, then Ryukyu is a perfect place for the navy. Moreover, contemporary Kaohsiung has a world-famous deep-water port, so it is more suitable as a naval base for large warships such as treasure ships.

"At present, only Ryukyu is the most suitable transfer station for the navy." Zhu Youzhi looked around on the map and nodded.

Li Yan continued: "And with the development of ocean trade, the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce also needs a sea transfer station for transshipment of goods, or for replenishment."

"If this is the case, why not occupy Ryukyu." Qin Huaiyu's thinking is always very straightforward, and he can just grab it if he wants to, but this is exactly what Li Yin thinks. He needs to maintain a stable environment in the Tang Dynasty, but he doesn't have to when he is overseas. He is tied up, and he also recovered Ryukyu ahead of schedule and made contributions to the people of the motherland.

The marine plan was preliminarily formulated, and the three villains wrote and drew on the map. Red circles were marked on the map. These red circles will be the places where the Yizhou Navy will leave their footsteps.

The trial voyage of the steamship not only shocked Li Yin and others, but also had a serious spiritual impact on the people and businessmen in Yizhou. The strength of Yizhou was further rooted in the hearts of the people. Channels began to spread to various forces.

In addition to the treasure ship trial, Li Yin has another happy event, which can be described as double happiness, that is, the new palace has been completed. These days, Cui Yingying is already preparing for the relocation.

Li Yin came back from the military academy, and one carriage after another left from the palace. That direction is where the new palace is located. This time, Li Min understood why Cui Yingying didn't want to go to the sea trial ceremony with him. It turned out that this girl cared more about moving into the new palace than the sea trial of the treasure ship.

Haven't arrived at the palace yet. Li Yin heard the messy voices inside, Cui Yingying's, Jin Daqian's, and Rongda's. After entering the palace, Li Yin saw the servants rushing back and forth, packing their things and loading them into the carriage.

"Moved so soon?" Li Yin asked.

Cui Yingying heard the sound and came over, "It's almost finished moving, just load a few more carriages, Your Highness. Let's go to the new palace."

Li Yin's eyes lingered in the main hall for a while, and there was nothing in it, needless to say about the other rooms, so he said: "You also leave something for Mo'er, otherwise everything will have to be added."

"I'm used to all these things. I don't want to part with them. What's more, Mo'er still uses these old things when she lives here. Why don't they buy new ones." Cui Yingying's eyes rolled around.

Looking at Cui Yingying's stingy look, Li Yin shook her head, but what she said made sense, so she said, "Let's go, to the new palace."

"Let's go!" Li Yin left quickly. Cui Yingying followed Li Yin out of the palace with a smile.

The distance between the new palace and the old palace is actually not far away. In half an hour, Li Yin and Cui Yingying arrived at the new palace by the Baihuatan Lake.

"Corruption!" Standing at the entrance of the palace, Li Yin looked at the new palace, which occupied a large area of ​​land, and said with emotion. Compared with the old palace, the area of ​​the new palace was dozens of times larger than before, because it was under construction. Cui Yingying bought a large piece of land behind the new palace, and later built it together. She even asked the craftsmen to lead an artificial river from Baihuatan into the palace, and then went back to Baihua after going around the palace. The pool formed a stream of running water.

Because additional land was purchased. Li Yin had to change the design again, and now the palace covers an area of ​​100,000 square meters, with a length and width of about 300 meters.

"This is called the palace, and this is worthy of the status of His Highness!" Cui Yingying looked at her masterpiece proudly, taking it for granted.

Although he talked about corruption, Li Yin was still very happy in his heart. The fool would let his life go, but instead of delicacies, he went to eat steamed buns and pickles.

At this time, there are already heavily armed guards guarding the gate of the palace. In line with the grand scale of the palace, the number of guards in the Shu Palace has also increased several times, reaching 500. These guards will be responsible for patrolling and guarding the safety of the palace. .

Standing outside the palace for a while, Cui Yingying dragged Li Yin into the palace. Before he could stand still, he heard a voice, "Your Majesty sees you!"

Li Yin raised his eyes and saw a row of good-looking maidservants standing in front of him. There were more than a hundred of them. They were wearing uniform light yellow short-sleeved long gowns, which were somewhat similar to the maids in the palace. Li Yin asked suspiciously. It is a bit strange to look at these maidservants, because the appearance of these maidservants is still somewhat different from that of Tang Dynasty women.

Cui Yingying’s choice to move today was not a whim, because today is Li Yin’s birthday, she deliberately chose today to surprise Li Yin one after another, “Your Highness, these are Silla maidservants.”

Li Yin suddenly realized, no wonder, he finally found the problem, these women look a bit like stick women, "You bought this?"

"Yes, there are many merchants traveling to and from Yizhou now, and the merchants from Goguryeo often go to and from Yizhou. These maidservants from Silla were brought by merchants from Goguryeo. It is said that Goguryeo and Silla are now at war, and they plundered a lot of Xinluo. Luo's daughters were trained as maidservants and brought to the Tang Dynasty for sale." Cui Yingying explained.

Li Yin still knows something about Silla maidservants. At that time, Silla maidservants were equivalent to today's Filipino maids. They were all high-quality servants. The price is also very expensive, and the Kunlun slaves are as famous as Silla maidservants. According to records, the nobles of the Tang Dynasty often compared who owned more Kunlun slaves. These dark-skinned Africans made them feel very novel.

Looking at the pretty Silla maid in front of him, Li Yin shook his head, Cui Yingying is pursuing a high-end life.

After waving his hands to let the maidservant of Xinluo retreat, Cui Yingying and Li Yin walked along the cobblestone path of the palace to the inner courtyard, and through the round arched door separated from the outer courtyard, Li Yin's eyes lit up, a beautiful garden scenery came into view, and the river gurgled , the flowers, plants, mountains and rocks are well arranged, and there are all kinds of goldfish swimming in the inland river. After being raised in the old palace for so long, the goldfish have grown up and reproduced more goldfish. Cui Yingying did not forget to catch the goldfish Come out, take care of the palace.

Seeing the goldfish in this river, Li Yin suddenly remembered, and said: "The two ends of this inland river should be sealed with barbed wire."

"Of course, otherwise all these goldfish would have gone to Baihua Pond." Cui Yingying said.

Li Yan nodded. The two ends are sealed with barbed wire, which can not only allow the water to flow, but also prevent the outside fish from entering and the inside fish from going out.

While talking, the two passed the white jade bridge on the inland river. Behind the inland river are buildings with various functions, such as entertainment room, gym, swimming pool, study and so on.

From the time they came in through the front door to now, Li Yin and Cui Yingying walked for almost 20 minutes, and walked for a while before arriving at the bedroom.

Entering the dormitory, Li Yin found a chair and sat down. Cui Yingying just came in and disappeared again. Li Yin was a little surprised that Cui Yingying was really inexplicable today.

As he was thinking, a Silla maid came in, holding a plate with a cup of tea on it, "Your Highness, please have some tea!"

Li Yin took the teacup and opened the lid. Inside was a light green liquid, like green thick milk. This is matcha. After coming to Yizhou, Yanbei taught this skill to the servants in the palace. Now Li Yin Min and Cui Yingying drank this every day, and it was much better than porridge.

After taking a sip of tea, Li Yin put the teacup back on the plate held by the Silla maid, and happened to see the face of the Silla servant.

"No...it's... right!" Li Yin was tongue-tied, and at the moment just now, he almost felt a sense of time and space confusion, because this Silla maidservant looks so much like Lin Yuner in Girls' Generation, and in reality it might be Twin sister, "What's your name?"

Li Yan's staring eyes made the Silla servant girl obviously a little scared, she tremblingly said: "Return to Your Highness, the servant girl's name is Liu Yanyu."

"Liu Yanyu? The person is as beautiful as the name." Li Yin looked at Liu Yanyu's exquisite face and said, I don't know if the modern one is full, but this one is pure natural.

When Li Yan was staring at Liu Yanyu and sizing her up to satisfy her little vanity, Cui Yingying walked in from the outside and pulled Su Mo'er.

Li Yin withdrew his gaze, coughed, and said, "Go down!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Liu Yanyu left with a teacup, blessed Cui Yingying and Su Morer and left the bedroom.

Cui Yingying came in and didn't pay attention to the maidservant, she was still talking and laughing, but it was Su Mo'er who looked at Liu Yanyu when she was saluting.

"There are a lot of Silla maidservants in this palace!" Su Morer said with a charming look at Li Yin.

Cui Yingying said at this time: "Do you want it too? If you want it, just pick a few and go there."

"Really?" Su Morer deliberately glanced at Li Yin, "I think the one who served the tea just now was pretty good."

Cui Yingying grinned and said, "Just take it away."

Li Yin is not calm at this time, this little girl is deliberately finding fault, he immediately changed the subject, "It's so late, why are you here." It means that the sky has darkened.

"Of course it's for His Highness's birthday." Su Mo'er said with a sly smile.

"Birthdate?" Li Yin thought for a while and understood, but it was Li Yin's birthday in Tang Dynasty, but not Li Yin's real birthday.

"Forget it, let's live the same way." Li Yin said in his heart.
