After drinking honey water to replenish her strength, Miss Shang looked exhausted. Although she was exhausted, her spirit was not sluggish, and she was even a little excited.
"Two?!"
Li Jie was shocked. Looking at the two infant red-skinned animals, he never expected that Shang Xiaomei actually had the attribute of "one more bottle".
"Wow...it's a male again."
If it were a daughter, names like Li Tiezhu and Li Jiangang could be used.
What a pity, what a pity.
"Li Qiu, Li Shi."
Once the name was written on the mahogany plaque, the two mahogany plaques were placed on top of the baby's clothes.
"Thank you, sister."
Dan nodded and smiled, holding Shang Xiaomei's hand, just touching it but not speaking.
Bai Lao on the side breathed a sigh of relief. After feeding some honey water to Miss Shang, he sat down on the group stool nearby.
She is quite tired.
"Why is Ajie back?"
"Qiang said Shang Ji was going to give birth, so I hurried back and finally caught up!"
Li Jie chuckled, "Okay, okay, mother and son are safe, mother and son are safe."
Good luck, good luck.
Nowadays, the Shang family in Yinxiang is no longer a small family compared to when they first settled in the country. Now that they have the Zhi family, the support of the Wu family can be said to be quite powerful.
In terms of manpower, the Yinxiang Shang family is in no shortage. In addition, Sha Gua, the "big Lu Shi", has become more and more skilled in skills, and has also brought out some apprentices as "Lu Shi".
To produce so many mules, how many nails can be driven by the "big Lu Shi" alone?
People who have experience working with livestock, such as the Zhi family and the Wu family, obviously do their part.
Naturally, this gave the Yinxiang Shang family a different influence.
At least in the animal husbandry industry, it can be considered strong.
According to Li Jie's estimation, there will be a considerable number of mules in stock by the year after tomorrow.
By the end of next year, we should be able to equip a brigade.
One brigade is enough.
Coupled with a certain number of horses, the land of Jianghuai moved sideways.
Moreover, in several wars, a large number of large livestock were extorted, and the total number of cattle, horses, pigs and sheep was extremely gratifying. Although plundering was not sustainable development, strengthening oneself and weakening others was a mode of competition in itself.
"When the weather gets warmer, we will all move to Huaizhong City."
"ah?!"
Meidan was shocked when she heard what her husband said, "Jiangyin Yi...don't you want it anymore?"
"Yes, but it's too close to Gusu, a land of right and wrong, so I can't stay for a long time. Just leave some of your belongings to run here and set up a market."
Dan's feelings for Jiangyin are quite complicated. After all, she is the wife of Yinxiang, and the source of her status is this place.
After leaving Jiangyin City, she was afraid that she would not have the confidence to face that group of princesses.
She used to feel a little inferior even when facing Bai Lao, let alone Guiyao, Gui Zhen and the like?
But Li Jie obviously saw her worries and held the hands of Mei Dan and Shang Xiaomei: "What are you afraid of! I have everything!"
"Um."
This guarantee is more effective than any account ban.
After calming down, Dan even thought that his son already had a "fef". Although the "feng" did not have a big output now, it might not happen in the future.
What's more, Li Lei is the eldest son, so he has great advantages.
In addition, Li Lei was born with supernatural powers and was granted a title by King Gouchen of Wu Wei. There were also various weird gossips circulating within the Wu Kingdom.
Not to mention outsiders, even Young Master Mao himself is not sure whether Li Jie is the product of his dead father's romance outside when he was young.
Especially Li Jie's acting style, he really looks like Gongzi Mao, his damn father.
And Li Lei is also an important reason for aggravating this speculation.
There are so many children, how come Li Lei is the only one who is appreciated? Could it be that when Li Lei was born, someone fried fish and gave it to the king to try?
"Xiaoya, do you want to sleep for a while?"
"No need."
Shang Xiaomei smiled and shook her head. She originally thought that Li Jie would not come back for a while, at least after she gave birth.
He never expected that Huaishang would sneak back to Jiangyin overnight when "everything was in ruins waiting to be revitalized" and Li Jie was needed to take charge of the overall situation.
The somewhat weak Miss Shang asked softly: "Gentleman, are you going to Gusu?"
"Screw it, I sneaked back here. I'm not going."
After Li Jie finished speaking, he added, "Not many Baisha knows that I'm back, and your brother doesn't know either."
"Brother is very busy right now, and I'm afraid I don't have time to take care of both."
"After two days, I will return to Huaizhong. When the weather gets warmer next year, we will move there together."
"yes."
They all support Li Jie's decision. It's okay if they don't support it, because her husband is a rebellious guy. Isn't it unhealthy to stay in Jiangyin?
When the trouble really breaks out, who knows if there is a lunatic lurking in Jiangyin City in Gusu? If others can't defeat Li Jie, wouldn't it be nice to use Li Lei to do it?
Unless Li Lei can Bilibili discharge.
At this time, the outside world did not know Li Jie's plan. No matter who looked at it, no one thought that Li Jie would abandon Jiangyin, which he had worked so hard to build, and go to the ruins of the Huai River.
After all, the cost of large-scale construction is so high that even the superpowers cannot afford it.
As the commissioner of the Jianghuai Administration Bureau, Commissioner Li has only one-third of an acre of land, and he has plenty of patience.
There are also good reasons to stay on both sides of the Huai River. Cai Guo has not yet obeyed.
Although the king of Cai State had soaked in hot springs in Gusu several times, laid out the coffin for King Wu Wei, and kowtowed countless times.
But the king is the king and the country is the country. They are not the same thing.
"From now on, we will focus on Jiangbei and Jiangyin. That's it for the time being. Who knows if Mr. Mao and Wang Sunlui will lose their minds and go crazy."
The dog-eat-dog situation in Suzhou has already started. Everyone secretly sent envoys to Huaizhong City, making all kinds of promises and wooing, except that as long as you, Mr. Li, take refuge, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth.
But is Mr. Li someone who lacks such glory and wealth?
Damn, there are so many new kinds of "wealth" in Gusu, aren't they still Jiangyin's specialties?
If it weren't for the sake of the old monster, "Big Red 01" wouldn't even bother to pay tribute.
In order to ensure his dignity in the future, Wang Sunhui also tried to win over Li Jie. Of course, he may have received Tai Shumao's suggestion and sent an envoy to tell Li Jie that as long as he continued to serve loyally, a "Huaishui Bo" would be able to run away.
Can't.
Commissioner Li thought to himself, didn't this damn thing make me the Huaishui Water God?
But when I heard about this "noble title", I knew it was not simple. Almost "half of the kingdom" of the Wu Kingdom was left to him, Mr. Li, to do it blindly?
But Li Jie didn't know that from Gusu's point of view, it was impossible for the Wu State to eat both sides of the Huai River, especially the Huaishang area, and sooner or later they would have to fight with the Chu people.
Rather than the central government's financial collapse, it is better to let the local tycoons collapse first, or to borrow the power of outsiders to weaken the elite monsters in the "Wu Kingdom Server" of the game "Conflict of Hegemony".
Li Jie is this elite monster.
Anyway, the people in the mountains of Gusu and Wangji all think so.
With Li Jie's little knowledge, how could he possibly capture both sides of the Huai River?
Even if you capture it for a while, can you still hold on to counterattack for three to five years or seven to eight years?
It doesn't exist.
After Cai Houdong arrived in Gusu, he actually secretly gave Li Jie eye drops. For example, Li Jie was arrogant and domineering in Cai Kingdom, and even robbed the princess and played with her at will.
This is a grave sin.
However, Dong Cai's reaction to the people of Wu was quite confused.
After meeting Dong Cai, Gongzi Mao said that the barbarian leader has always been like this, basic operations, don't panic.
Then Zheng Houshuang took a look and thought about Li Jie, a savage. He was afraid that he was not very bad, so he was ready to apply eye drops, but suddenly he felt blessed. He thought that if Li Jie was the son of Wu Wei King Gouchen, then he would not be his own.
Falling into a trap?
They are just wild species. What threats can wild species pose?
So Zheng Shuang went against the grain and told Prince Mao that although Li Jie was a barbarian, the Huaiyi and Jingman people on both sides of the Huai River were indeed submissive. This was the blessing of the State of Wu.
Tai Shumao said that this has always been the case, and that was how Huaixia was done at the beginning.
Have you heard of this old turtle, Jun Jixuan of Yiyang?
He died in the hands of one of the "Two Generals of Hengha", Jiang Yinzi, a fierce man ordered by the king.
Five steps are enough to see blood and sand, and ten steps kill one person. Thousands of miles will leave no trace behind.
Extremely awesome!
Seeing Zheng Shuang being so shameless, Cai Dong immediately felt maggots in his heart. However, it was of no use. Anyway, the big bosses in Wu Wangji felt that there was indeed a reason why Cai Guo was so good.
The level of the monarch is really a talent.
After sneaking back home and messing around with his wives, Li Jie felt refreshed and secretly sneaked back to Huaizhong City two days later.
At this time, in the Wu Palace in Wangji, Gusu, Wang Sunhui had already followed Tai Shumao's suggestion and was preparing to confer Li Jie the title of "Huai Shui Bo" at the enthronement ceremony to show his favor.
