"What can we do to get the bearded guest to help us?" When Li Yuanji heard Li Chengdao's words, he couldn't help but look at him with wide eyes and asked, although Li Chengdao is only a fifteen-year-old boy, but according to the tradition of the Central Plains, a fifteen-year-old man can already be called an adult, and Li Chengdao's performance in recent years has also made him ashamed, it can be said that in addition to fighting, he is inferior to his nephew in all aspects, which also reminds him of his eldest brother who died early.

Seeing that his fourth uncle was so concerned about such a problem, Li Chengdao just wanted to explain his thoughts to him, after all, after coming to the attention, their uncle and nephew depended on each other, and the relationship between them became more intimate.

"Okay, today is the Shangyuan Festival, you two will rest for a day, don't talk about these things anymore, come and taste the taste of our stewed whale meat, there are a lot of seasonings added to it, and it is definitely not as fishy as before!" But at this moment, they suddenly saw Li Chengdao's mother Zheng Shi come over and interrupt them, and at the same time put a small pot of steaming whale meat in the middle of the table, with the dishes that had been prepared before, it was regarded as a family banquet for today's Shangyuan Festival.

Hearing his mother's words, and seeing that the younger brothers around him were also hungry, and Li Chengdao and Li Yuanji didn't take chopsticks, the people around them didn't dare to eat, after all, this was the rule, so at this time, Li Chengdao also immediately picked up the chopsticks and said with a smile: "Mother taught me a lesson, how about you try the craftsmanship of your mother and fourth aunt, Fourth Uncle?" ”

"Sister-in-law's craftsmanship must be no different, but it's a pity that the Shangyuan Festival, but she can't eat silkworms!" Li Yuanji first praised Zheng's craftsmanship, but when it came to the end, he couldn't help but think of the traditional food of the Lantern Festival, although Li Xiu got the Lantern Festival out a few years ago, but not many people ate it, and most people still like to eat more traditional silkworms in the Lantern Festival.

"Hahaha~, who said that there is no silkworm, didn't the old man personally send it to you?" But just as Li Yuanji's words fell, he suddenly heard a burst of hearty laughter from outside the door, and then he saw the bearded guest push the door and walked in, he didn't see him for a few years, he looked a little older, and his originally black beard was dyed with a few traces of white frost, but his body was still very strong.

"Father-in-law! How did you get here? When Li Chengdao saw the bearded guest come in, he couldn't help but stand up in surprise, and then immediately stepped forward to greet him. The bearded guest occupies the city state of Ohaktong dozens of miles away from them, although there are roads to connect with each other, but it is still a little inconvenient to come and go, not to mention that today is still the Shangyuan Festival, the bearded guest should accompany his family at home, right?

"I heard that you actually held a Shangyuan Lantern Festival here, and the children in the family heard about it, and they all clamored to come, but I couldn't resist them, so I had to bring the whole family here, and by the way, I also brought some gifts through you!" The bearded man stepped forward and patted Li Chengdao on the shoulder, looking at him with a look of love in his eyes, except for Zhang Shiyi's family, his other children have moved to the Americas, but among his children and grandchildren, he can't find a talent as good as Li Chengdao.

Seeing the bearded guest come in, Li Yuanji just nodded lightly at the other party, he and the bearded guest had a bit of a bad temper, if it weren't for the sake of the bearded guest who helped them, I'm afraid the two would have clashed a long time ago, of course, this is also thanks to Li Chengdao's reconciliation.

"I didn't expect even my father-in-law to know about this, but why didn't I see them?" Li Chengdao couldn't help but laugh when he heard the bearded guest's words, and then looked at his back a little strangely, because in addition to the bearded guest, there were only a few carts pulling things, which were probably gifts for them, and as for the bearded guest's family, they didn't see any of them.

"Don't look for it, they just ran to play as soon as they entered the city, speaking of which, you kid is really powerful, the city-state under his rule is well governed, and the city-state never has to worry about security, unlike me, there are fights and brawls every day, and even the death of a handful of people is not unusual, it's really infuriating!" When the bearded guest said to the end, he couldn't help but say angrily.

The city-state of Wahaktong is now under his actual control, and the population has increased to more than 50,000 people, including more than 30,000 Han people, most of whom are his old subordinates and their families, and some of them are craftsmen he recruited from the coast, such as blacksmiths, shipwrights, etc., but the number of Han people is too large, and it is inevitable that there will be conflicts with the local Maya, and he has no good solution, which also leads to the fact that the security of his Wahaktong is far less than that of Dinghai City.

"Haha~, your problem there is easy to solve, father-in-law, you only need to fight a battle!" What the bearded guest didn't expect was that Li Chengdao suddenly laughed and said at this time.

"A fight? What do you mean, you don't mean that I want to kill all those Mayans, do you? That's not good, I can't control too much of an area just by relying on my Han people! Ma Ye immediately shook his head when he heard Li Chengdao's words and said.

"Father, you misunderstood, I didn't say that you should kill your own people, but let you organize a group of troops, but attack the nearby city-states, for example, I heard that there is a city-state near Ohaktong that is rich in gold, and it is not close to you, so it is better to occupy such a profitable place!" Li Chengdao explained with a smile again.

"What? Did I hear me right? Hearing this, the bearded guest looked at Li Chengdao in disbelief, and even reached out and plucked his ears before asking, "Now that I'm in chaos like this, you even let me expand, if I build another city-state, won't it bring more chaos?" ”

"It's because your internal chaos is too chaotic, stepfather, that you need to expand!" When Li Chengdao said this, his young face showed a bit of murderous aura, and his expression was also a little cold, "Father-in-law, the main reason for the chaos there is the conflict between the Han and the Maya, and you want to let the Maya integrate into the Han people, but blindly Huairou is not enough, and sometimes you also need some means of Liwei, and the internal suppression may cause some troubles, so you need to use troops externally, and the more cruel the means, the more effective it is, and when those Mayans see the strength of the Han people, they will naturally be afraid, When the time comes, you will definitely speed up the integration of the Mayans and the Han Chinese! ”

Li Chengdao's words were like a bolt of lightning, which made the bearded guest immediately feel a sense of enlightenment, he didn't expect that he had made such a low-level mistake, but then he was a little depressed, and even doubted that he was really old, and now he had to be woken up by a fifteen-year-old boy.

However, after the frustration, the bearded guest was a little angry, he was angry that none of his children and grandchildren could compare with Li Chengdao, and now he is alive, but when he dies, even if he leaves the inheritance of America to his children and grandchildren, can they really keep it?
