Lao Fang and Lin Yong really fell in love with each other.
When they walked out just now, the two of them were still arm-in-arm, calling themselves brothers. Li Yi checked the accounts for a while, and when he walked out of the room again, he saw Lin Yong hanging on the tree by Lao Fang.
There is no doubt about Lao Fang's strength, and others cannot envy him at all.
He was born with supernatural powers. In the past, when his family's conditions were not good, he just seemed a little stronger than others. Later, when his material conditions caught up, he began to leave ordinary people far behind.
Coupled with the training of his second uncle, even Li Yi did not dare to say that he could defeat him easily. His fists were too heavy and one punch would kill someone.
Lin Yong only has some skills and can only be considered as a half martial artist. Of course he is no match for Lao Fang.
"Brother Li, save me, save me!" Lin Yong was hanging on the tree. When he saw Li Yi coming out, he seemed to have seen his savior.
Li Yi glanced at Lao Fang, who reluctantly jumped up the tree and put him down.
…
Ruoqing's pregnancy was actually a bit beyond their expectations.
This time when I came to Qi, besides traveling around and seeing the world, I also had one more important thing to do.
Unify the Holy Religion.
Xu Zheng is indeed a rare talent. If in later generations, he would definitely be the leader of a pyramid selling organization. Moreover, it is a large-scale pyramid selling organization and is the number one target for crackdowns and bans by the state.
Their teachings have turned into persuading people to do good, leading the so-called holy religion founded by the Taoist nun to a correct path. All believers have the right to believe in religion or not at any time. In essence, it has become the same as the formal sects of later generations.
The difference is not big anymore.
However, it is impossible for Xu Zheng to complete this arduous task alone.
No matter how high his status is, he is still not as high as that Taoist nun. Many things require Ruoqing's intervention.
Now that if Qing is pregnant, Li Yi will naturally not let her show up in public anymore. He will put aside the matters of the holy religion for the time being and wait and see what happens.
Along the way, they collected a lot of news about Qi.
The Emperor of Qi fell ill a long time ago and did not pay much attention to the affairs of the state. He has also been ill in the past few years. He even became seriously ill several times and almost died, but he did not die in the end.
If he dies, it's easy. The eldest prince Zhao Zheng is a serious prince. There was no edict to depose the prince before the emperor died. He will be the new emperor. The third prince Zhao Yi will stay where he can. Unless he
Either he rebelled or Zhao Zheng suddenly fell into hysteria and passed the throne to him, otherwise he would have no chance of being crowned emperor in this life.
But until the old emperor dies, Zhao Zheng will only be the prince. If he reaches out in advance, he is also rebelling...
So the two people and the two forces were in a stalemate.
It happened that the Emperor of Qi not only asked the eldest prince Zhao Zheng to supervise the country, but also asked the third prince Zhao Yi to supervise from the side - one can only imagine what the court of Qi would be like.
Of course, there are benefits to doing this, and they are not small.
The two forces are in opposition to each other, and each is waiting to seize the other's leverage and catch the other's mistakes, so neither of them dares to make mistakes.
When Li Yi left, the Qi State caused constant disputes in the court and the people's hearts because of the discussion about the crime of silver. It is said that several states also revolted...
When he came back this time, all the hidden dangers in Qi were gone. A few years ago, under the leadership of the third prince, the court adopted a gentle method to promote the debit and credit accounting method. Now it has been
It has been quite effective. Although official corruption has not been completely eliminated, it has been quite effective...
As expected, there is no fuel-efficient lamp to be able to become the emperor. Li Yi didn't know what the Emperor of Qi thought about the struggle for the throne, but he did it beautifully. For a long time, including now, Qi State has
The strength is justified.
If Jing State had not risen rapidly at a cheating speed in recent years, I am afraid that it would still be living in the shadow of Qi State to this day.
Li Yi actually didn't care who became the emperor of Qi.
This has nothing to do with him. Whether Zhao Zheng or Zhao Yi takes over Qi State, it will not pose much of a threat to Jing State.
A long time ago, Jingguo had been at the forefront of the times, and its progress was getting faster and faster, leaving other countries far behind. It even opened the perspective of God. Li Xuan has been
Improved cannons and many other types of firearms also began to be developed and supervised.
As long as they don't meet an extremely stupid emperor who overthrows everything they have done, the current Jing State cannot catch up if Qi State meets one or several Ming Lords.
Under such a premise, he certainly hopes that Zhao Yi will take over.
In his life, he was reluctant to owe favors to women, and he didn't like to owe favors to men.
The former can be repaid with physical affection, but if you want to repay the latter, you need to do something else.
There is no doubt that the Lin family's business can be so big and smooth sailing over the past few years. The third prince Zhao Yi has played a great role. It can be said that he takes good care of Wanru.
This was a huge favor, and based on this alone, the balance in his heart had to tilt in his favor.
Of course, it's impossible for him to run to him and make suggestions now, but he doesn't mind pushing him if necessary.
Lin Wanru walked out of the room and told Lin Yong something.
Although Liuzhou is far away from the capital of Qi and not considered a major military town, it is a large commercial state.
From a geographical point of view, Liuzhou is located in the hinterland of Qi State, not bordering other countries, and does not have the conditions to become a major commercial state.
However, the people of Liuzhou were engaged in mulberry and silkworm rearing, and Liuzhou silk was famous far and wide. Lin Wanru came here this time to expand the silk and garment business. If successful, Liuzhou may become their largest garment base in Qi.
Lin Yong looked at Li Yi who was not far away, then looked at Lin Wanru and asked: "Miss, how long will we stay in Liuzhou this time?"
Lin Wanru is the head of the Lin family. She only needs to ensure that the general direction will not go wrong. She does not need to stay in Liuzhou for a long time. She will take care of other things by herself. After thinking about it, she said: "About a month."
Lin Yong looked at Li Yi and asked, "Brother Li, how long will you stay in Liuzhou?"
If Qing is pregnant, she can either return to Shuzhou or Ruyi City now, or stay here and wait for her to give birth to the child.
Although Ruyi City and Shuzhou are more suitable for raising babies, they have already penetrated deep into Qi State. If the group goes back, it will probably take several months. The road is tiring and bumpy. After Li Yi, Ruyi and the others discussed it, they planned to stay.
Liuzhou, wait until she has given birth before going back.
However, as a result, their plan to detour from Qi State to Jing State will be temporarily shelved.
Li Yi thought for a while and said, "It will take less than a year."
During this period of time, naturally he was not only waiting for Ruo Qing to give birth to a child, but he, as the hands-off shopkeeper, also had to carefully plan matters related to the Holy Religion and the business of Qi State.
The lady only planned to stay here for a month, but Brother Li and the others had to stay for almost a year. Lin Yong thought for a while, looked at Lin Wanru, and said: "Miss, I think Liuzhou is different from other places. The business here is developed and there are many people.
There are many wealthy businessmen. If we enter Liuzhou rashly and intervene in Liuzhou's business, we are afraid that we will attract their dissatisfaction and suppression, which may lead to accidents. We are afraid that we should stay longer. This is more secure. What do you think, Miss...
…”
Hearing this, Lin Wanru nodded and said, "You are right, then let's stay longer."
Lin Yong was convinced and said with a smile: "I see, if we stay for a year and a half, that should be enough."
Lin Wanru looked at him, frowned slightly, and was about to speak when a young man knocked on the courtyard door and walked into the courtyard with several followers.
"Miss Lin." He looked at Lin Wanru and said with a smile, "I'm here to discuss the cooperation between the Lin and Liu families."
Lin Wanru and the young man went to the living room. Lin Yong did not follow him. He walked to Li Yi and said, "That's from the Liu family. The Liu family is the largest wealthy family in Liuzhou. They are relatives of the royal family and have been dealing in silk for generations.
Business……"
Li Yi looked at Lin Yong in surprise. He seemed to talk a bit too much today.
"He has been here every day to discuss cooperation these past few days..." Lin Yong curled his lips and said, "Don't think I can't see that he has been putting off cooperation when talking about business, and he just came to pursue our young lady.
of……"
Li Yi continued to look at him.
"I just remembered it and said casually..." Seeing Li Yi looking at him, Lin Yong waved his hand and said: "I definitely didn't say that he was Brother Li's love rival, nor did I imply that you wanted to pursue my lady. Li
