The young man walked out of the hall, slightly cupped his hands to Lin Wanru, and said, "Miss Wanru, I believe you also know that this will be good for both the Lin and Liu families. I hope you can think carefully about what I said."
Lin Wanru shook her head and said simply: "If Mr. Liu is referring to something other than cooperation, then there is no need to consider it."
The young man was not angry, he just smiled and said: "I come here with sincerity, why should Miss Lin reject me thousands of miles away? We still have some time, so you don't have to rush to reply."
After saying that, he bowed his hands and left.
When leaving, his eyes paused slightly on Li Yi, but it was only for a moment before he walked out slowly.
"Brother Li, look, Mr. Liu is also very talented and personable. If you don't seize the opportunity..."
Before Lin Yong could finish his words, Lao Fang covered his mouth and dragged him away.
Li Yi looked up at Lin Wanru and asked, "Are you encountering difficulties in business?"
"It's not a difficulty." Lin Wanru shook her head, sat down opposite him, and said: "The Liu family in Liuzhou is also engaged in fabric and silk business. In recent years, it has expanded into ready-made clothes, which is roughly the same as ours. The same family
If we are doing the same business in different places, we cannot be friends, we can only be enemies. What's more, Liuzhou is only so big, and several big families have already divided up the resources. It's not that simple for us to get another piece of the pie..."
"They have the materials and the market, we have the technology, cooperation is a win-win situation..." Li Yi looked at her and asked: "You don't seem to be willing?"
"What they want is not just cooperation." Lin Wanru shook her head and said, "They also want me to marry."
She looked at Li Yi, blinked, and said, "Shopkeeper Li, there was no such thing as selling one's body in the contract we negotiated..."
"Of course." Li Yi nodded and said: "Cooperation is cooperation. This request is too much. We must not agree to it. You don't have to do business in Liuzhou, and marriage is not a trivial matter."
"Not necessarily." Lin Wanru looked at the door and said, "The Liu family is a relative of the royal family and has deep-rooted influence. The silk business is spread all over Qi, not only in Liuzhou but also has great influence in other places. Although the Lin family is
I have accumulated some savings in the past few years and have been touted by many people, but in fact my foundation is shallow. Without the protection of the third prince, I will be like duckweed in the water or catkins in the wind, and I can only be at the mercy of others..."
Li Yi shook his head and said: "Marriage should be an outcome where two people like each other, it should not be an exchange of some kind of interests, let alone such a child's play..."
"How can everything go as planned in this world?" Lin Wanru smiled and said: "There are so many combinations in this world where we don't like each other, it doesn't matter if we like each other, it doesn't matter if we don't like each other, they all last a lifetime..."
"Don't be so pessimistic..."
"I'm only a few months younger than Sister Yi. Now Duan'er is five years old. I was a playmate of my neighbor's when I was a child. The child just got engaged last month..." She smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly and said, "I won't get married again."
, really no one wants it..."
"Does anyone want the famous Miss Lin?" Li Yi looked at her, shook his head and said, "If you say you want to marry, and want to marry your man, I'm afraid you will have to queue up from Liuzhou to the capital."
Lin Wanru looked at him and asked: "Shopkeeper Li said this, doesn't he want me to earn a few more years of money for your Li family?"
"Lin and Li are from the same family, so we are estranged from each other..." Li Yi shook his head and said: "Fate is a wonderful thing. Sometimes we meet just when we meet. Wan Ru, you are in your prime now, wait until
One or two years, it doesn’t matter..."
"That's nice to say." Lin Wanru raised her eyebrows and said, "If you don't get married now while there are still people who want you, you will marry me if you really can't get married in two years."
After she said this, both of them stopped talking, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
"You know, I already have four people at home, and it's usually quite chaotic..." Li Yi was the first to break the silence. He lowered his head and sighed.
Lin Wanru couldn't help laughing and waved her hand: "It's just a joke. Don't worry, I won't marry you..."
Her eyes were originally clear and bright, but at a certain moment, they seemed to have lost their luster.
"The family is already chaotic enough, and I don't want you too much..." Li Yi raised his head and said, "No one wants you anyway, how about you think about it then?"
…
Outside the courtyard, Lin Yong and Lao Fang were sitting on a big tree.
Looking at Li Yi being chased and beaten in the courtyard, Lao Fang patted Lin Yong on the shoulder and said, "You see, what happened to you? Why were you so anxious just now?"
Lin Yong nodded guiltily and said, "I'm sorry, I was wrong..."
"Let's learn a little bit from now on..." Lao Fang gave him a serious education and jumped down from the tree in twos and twos.
Lin Yong was startled, looked down, and suddenly felt dizzy.
He hugged the tree trunk and shouted: "Let me down, I'm afraid of heights!"
…
Liuzhou's business was dispensable in Li Yi's opinion, and even the entire Qi State's business didn't mean much to him.
The Li family's business is spread all over the state capitals of Qi. He also has the tax revenue of Shuzhou and the tax revenue of Ruyicheng. The money he earns is enough. Not only is it enough, but it can also support Yang Liuqing to rebel. It is more than enough.
He doesn't have any big ambitions, such as becoming the richest man in the world - if he only had this ambition, he would probably have achieved it.
But since I had to stay in Liuzhou for a while and had nothing to do, I decided to do some things.
If others insist on fighting for something, he doesn't mind staying with them until the end.
Liuzhou's business expansion is still in its initial stages and will not encounter any obstacles for the time being.
Xu Zheng's plan to unify the holy religion encountered great obstacles.
Before Liuzhou, they had unified more than ten states without encountering any major obstacles.
Perhaps this finally aroused the other party's vigilance. The branches in the next few states that Xu Zheng took people to were no longer able to be contacted.
The headquarters of the Holy Cult is in the capital of Qi State, and it has branches in most of the state capitals of Qi State.
These branches are managed by elites from the church. On weekdays, they have single-line contact with the church members. When Xu Zheng and others went there, they did not get in touch with these people.
As a result, they would not be able to obtain the list of congregants, and all actions would be temporarily suspended.
The State of Qi is much larger than the State of Wu and the State of Jing, with nearly a hundred state capitals. They have only unified a dozen states. After the other party takes precautions, every step becomes extremely difficult. In this way, one state and one state
The unification of China will last until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse...
Li Yi thought for a moment, borrowed the study from Wanru, and started writing a letter.
He wrote a few words on the envelope.
"Xu Tian personally initiated it."
[PS: Let’s talk about a few things briefly. First, according to the outline, the progress of the little scholar is already 80 or 90%. Second, from the choice of this genre and the title of the book, it is destined that this is a harem book, a carefully shaped female character.
Lord, I won’t miss a single thing. The author writes YY articles like this. Don’t try to reason with the author in this regard. Third, let’s complain, it’s really difficult to fill in the holes later.]
