Xue Jian looked at Li Desheng's appearance, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a hint of arc.

This man is a bit measured, otherwise his son's arm would not have been needed today.

"It's not a big deal, just a gold coin, a ferry ticket, your son has to overwhelm people and snatch the past.

The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, I know this very well.

It's only that this son of yours is not right-minded, and he is worried about my disciple, if he is stranded at sea, he will be thrown into the sea by me to feed the fish now. ”

Xue Jian said lightly.

Although the words were calm, they fell on the ears of Li Desheng and the purple-robed young man, but they made both of them feel a chill in their hearts.

Li Desheng specifically inquired about Xue Jian's affairs, and knew that Chen Yufan's son offended Xue Jian on the flying beast ship because he didn't open his eyes, and was thrown down from a height of ten thousand feet by Xue Jian.

Fortunately, he was rescued by the crew, otherwise Chen Yufan's son would have been crushed.

Later, because of this incident, Chen Yufan was also stripped of the official hat of the commander of the Imperial Forest Army.

Li Desheng was secretly glad in his heart, fortunately this was in the branch of the Navigation Chamber of Commerce, and fortunately he arrived at the scene.

"The matter...... This matter is that the lower officials are not strict with the rebels, and if General Xue wants to punish them, please punish the lower officials. ”

Xue saw that he was sincere in admitting his mistakes, thought about it, and let go of the purple-robed young man with a flick of his hand.

"That's it, a little thing, just a little punishment, I see that your son has a good talent for martial arts, City Lord Li, teach him how to be a good person, don't become a villain for the disaster party at that time." ”

Li Desheng's face suddenly showed a look of gratitude and replied.

"Thank you General Xue for your kind words, after you go back, the lower officials will definitely teach the rebel son well. ”

After saying that, he immediately got up, took a coin bag from his entourage guard, and respectfully handed it to the Xue family.

"General Xue, the lower official came in a hurry, and he didn't bring too much belongings, this gold coin can be regarded as the sincerity of the lower official to apologize to you. ”

Xue Jian nodded secretly in his heart, and couldn't help but glance at this Li City Lord.

can become the city lord of the first city in the southeast harbor, and his vision, means, thoughts, and courage are really not comparable to ordinary people.

Xue Jian didn't go to pick up the bag of gold coins, but said with a smile.

"Bribe me?"

Li Desheng smiled and said.

"How can this gold coin bribe General Xue, this is indeed the sincerity of the lower official's apology, and please accept it. ”

Xue Jian nodded, took the bag of gold coins, and couldn't help but feel a little interested in this person.

As the city lord of Hypo City, he must be worth a lot of money, and this person is so sensible, maybe he can make a lot of money from him in the future.

"City Lord Li, we don't know each other anymore, I still have some time, why don't we have a drink together?"

Li Desheng's eyes lit up, and he naturally couldn't ask for it if he could climb the big tree of the general of the chariot cavalry.

"The general appreciates the light, and the lower officials are extremely happy, in this Haibo City, let the lower officials do their best to be the landlord. ”

A group of people came in a menacing manner, but when they left, they were kind and laughing.

This wave of operations not only made the people and merchants below incomprehensible, but even Xu Da and Biyun, who were in the Chamber of Commerce, were completely confused.

The purple-robed young man followed behind with an ugly face under the support of Hu Servant.

When he arrived at the most luxurious restaurant in Haibo City, Li Desheng waved his hand and said proudly.

"Today, the city lord here has paid for all the consumption. ”

After the words were released, the little people in the restaurant began to clear the people, but after a while, only a group of them were left in the entire restaurant.

On the fifth floor of the restaurant, Li Desheng set up a table of delicacies and delicacies, and this table of dishes alone is afraid that there will be no less than 100 gold coins, not to mention the need for chartering.

This city lord of Hypo City is really a fat and oily lord.

Xue Jian's heart was even more determined, and he wanted to take a bite of meat from this, of course, he would not use any improper means.

At the huge round table, only Xue Jian, Du Xiaoqing and Li Desheng were seated, and everyone else was watching from the side.

He was a little uncomfortable eating like this, so he said.

"Li Gongzi, please take a seat, these subordinates of City Lord Li, don't stare here, go down and open a table, don't work too hard. ”

He spoke, but no one moved.

Li Desheng's eyes widened and shouted.

"Didn't you hear General Xue speak? Go down, Can'er, you just sit next to your father. ”

The purple-robed young man sat silently on the side with a face on his face, and the others nodded yes and left together.

Li Desheng introduced his son first, and then raised his wine glass and punished himself three times.

Xue Jian smiled and waved his hand, and chatted with him while drinking.

After some small talk, he realized that the reason why Li Desheng was so rich was not by paying taxes in the city or some other improper means.

Instead, it relied on their Li family's own business ability.

The Li family is a veteran family in Hypo City, rooted in the city for thousands of years.

The Li family has been in business for generations and knows best about overseas trade and the exchange of goods.

As early as a thousand years ago, the ancestors of the Li family had crossed the ocean, opened up shipping routes, and trafficked goods to other continents, selling the specialties of the Nanyang Continent overseas, and then transporting some local specialties back from overseas to sell to the Nanyang Continent.

This time and again, the Li family can always make a lot of money.

Compared with being a city lord's parents, Li Desheng is more talented in business.

His son Li Can, in addition to his excellent talent in martial arts, is not inferior to his father in business.

This time, Li Can wanted to buy a VIP ticket to the Nanming Empire, and he went there to discuss a business in person.

This business is very important, once negotiated, Haibo City and the Nanming Empire will open the first trade route, which will not only allow the Li family to make a lot of money, but also drive the economic development of Haibo City.

Therefore, Li Desheng thought about it, so he sent his son to negotiate to show his sincerity and attention.

After hearing this, Xue Jian nodded and pretended to have no intention of asking.

"Actually, I came to Haibo City this time to ask His Majesty for leave, and I plan to go to the Nanming Empire to do something, I don't know what business Li Gongzi went to the Nanming Empire to talk about this time, if necessary, I can also help some small favors. ”

Li Desheng and Li Can glanced at each other and fell silent.

Xue Jian shook his head and said with a smile.

"I've asked more, or not, and after drinking this glass of wine, it's almost time for me to go on a boat." ”

Li Desheng showed a hint of decisiveness in his eyes, and hurriedly got up and said.

"General don't worry, this business is actually not a secret, in the Nanming Empire, many people know about it. ”

Xue saw that his mind moved, revealing an expression of willingness to hear about it.

Li Desheng continued.

"Two years ago, there was a tsunami in the coastal area of the Southern Ming Empire, and in a canyon near the sea, a special ore vein was discovered, and there was a large amount of ore called 'Yuan Jing' in this vein.

It is said that this ore contains a wealth of vitality that can speed up the cultivation speed of martial cultivators a lot, so we plan to go over and buy a batch of Yuan Crystals and transport them back to Haibo City to sell. ”

Xue Jian suddenly understood, wasn't this Yuan Jing equivalent to the spirit stones written in the immortal cultivation novels he had read in his previous life?

It stands to reason that this kind of Yuan Jing should become the currency of a martial artist, but Xue Jian has been in the Imperial City for so long and has never heard anything about Yuan Jing.

It seems that Yuan Jing is very rare in this world, so rare that most martial arts cultivators don't know Yuan Jing.

It's ridiculous, Li Desheng, as a small grandmaster of the Mixed Yuan Realm, didn't think about how to use Yuan Jing to improve his strength, and even thought about buying and selling to make a fortune.
