"What's the matter?" Seeing Zhang Shiyi's mysterious appearance, Li Xiu couldn't help but ask in surprise, after the bearded guest went to the Americas, he threw away the business at sea, but Zhang Shiyi picked it up again, and also cooperated with Qi Niang's shipbuilding workshop, relying on the relationship left by the Zhang family before, now Zhang Shiyi has become a famous sea merchant again, staying at the beach for most of the year, and just came back a year ago. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"That's right, some time ago, my dad sent another fleet back." Zhang Shiyi said in a low voice with hesitation on his face at this time, and his expression was a little uneasy when he spoke, as if there was something difficult to say.

"Uncle sent someone again?" Li Xiu first showed a surprised expression when he heard this, but then he also noticed Zhang Shiyi's strange appearance, and couldn't help but ask again, "Isn't this a normal thing, could it be that the uncle came with the fleet again this time?" ”

Although the bearded guests went to the Americas, there was a shortage of materials in the Americas, and the people brought by the bearded guests could not be completely self-sufficient, so they sent fleets back to the Central Plains from time to time, and exchanged the products of the Americas for some living materials, such as cloth, ironware, etc., and sometimes recruited some people to go to the Americas, after all, the Tang Dynasty is so big, there are always some people who are willing to go to the Americas for various reasons.

"This ......" I saw that Zhang Shiyi hesitated for a moment at this time, and then said with a wry smile, "My father didn't come this time, and he only sent a very ordinary fleet, mainly for trading, and to buy a batch of supplies to send to the Americas, but in this fleet, there is a special ship." ”

"Special ships? What do you mean? Li Xiu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and asked again, he felt that Zhang Shiyi's performance today was a little strange, and he spoke in a hurry, and he didn't get to the point for a long time.

"This ...... Alas~, I'll just say it bluntly, there is not only my father's boat in the fleet, but also a boat that is your student. Zhang Shiyi hesitated again at this time, and finally said.

"What? You...... You say he came back from America? Li Xiu was also startled when he heard this, and even grabbed Zhang Shiyi's shoulder and shouted, but then he came to his senses, and immediately hurriedly looked left and right, and found that there was no one around, so he was relieved.

"Don't get excited, I mean your student's boat is back, not that your student is back, in fact they just sent a boat back with my father's fleet, and then recruited some people and bought a lot of goods, and then left with the fleet." Zhang Shiyi could also understand Li Xiu's current mood, and explained with a wry smile at the moment.

Hearing that Li Chengdao did not come back, Li Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, but then he hurriedly asked again: "Eleventh brother, since Chengdao sent someone here, I wonder if he left any news or letters?" ”

"That's not true, in fact, they came very secretly this time, even I was kept in the dark, it is estimated that my lord was worried that after the news spread, it would cause His Majesty's disgust, so except for the people in the fleet, no one knew that one of the boats belonged to your student, and later I saw the people in the fleet, and then I found that something was wrong with the boat." Zhang Shiyi said in a low voice at this time, after he found Li Chengdao's ship, he was also silent, and waited until he came back to tell Li Xiu about it.

"I see, but it's okay to do so, if the ship of Chengdao lets His Majesty know, it will indeed cause a big storm." Li Xiu couldn't help but nod when he heard this.

"What are you two doing, hurry back for dinner!" At this moment, they suddenly heard a crisp voice shouting, Li Xiu and they looked at it, but found that it was Qu Yi holding a big fat girl who was calling them, this girl was Zhang Shiyi and Qu Yi had a daughter, and her name was Zhang Maya, because Qu Yi was a Maya, and Zhang Maya may be the reason for being mixed-race, taller than ordinary children, and her brain was also smart, Qu Yi was planning to let her study with Li Xiu.

Hearing that they wanted to eat, Li Xiu and Zhang Shiyi also immediately agreed, and then came to the living room, the two families sat down to eat together, Zhang Maya and Jin'er and Ping Anlang came very playfully, and the fighting made the atmosphere more lively, but Li Xiu thought of what Zhang Shiyi said just now, but he didn't want to eat at all.

finally waited until lunch, Zhang Shiyi said goodbye and left in advance, Qu Yi stayed to chat with Princess Pingyang and Yiniang, as for Zhang Maya and Jin'er, they ran out to play crazy, and Li Xiu returned to the study, planning to calm down alone, and by the way, he sorted out the matter of Li Chengdao sending the boat back.

Although the bearded passengers sent a fleet from time to time, and this time Li Chengdao only sent one ship, but the meaning of this incident is different, the route from the Americas to the Central Plains has been monopolized by the bearded passengers, but this time he brought Li Chengdao's ship, which also means that he shared this important aircraft carrier with Li Chengdao.

In other words, Li Chengdao will soon be able to master the route between the Americas and the Central Plains, which also means that he can return to the Central Plains at any time in the future, although Li Xiu misses Li Chengdao very much, but in this situation, he does not want Li Chengdao to come back, don't look at Li Shimin can tolerate Empress Xiao and her party, but he will never tolerate Li Chengdao and them.

In addition, Li Xiu also thought of one thing, that is, why did the bearded passenger want to share the route with Li Chengdao, after all, the bearded guest is a shrewd person, and the monopoly of the route alone will bring him countless benefits, but now that he has shared the route with Li Chengdao, can it be said that there is a deal between him and Chengdao? But what is there about Chengdao that is worth the price that the bearded guest has to pay?

The above questions made Li Xiu unable to understand for a while, but he was sure of one thing, that is, Li Chengdao's development in the Americas must be good, otherwise he would not be qualified to trade with the bearded guest, this time he only sent one ship back, it is estimated that it is just to familiarize himself with the route, and it is likely to send more ships back in the future, and maybe even one day he will come back by boat in person, thinking of this, it is enough for Li Xiu to have a headache.

"What's wrong with you, husband, has something happened?" When Li Xiu was pondering, she suddenly saw Princess Pingyang walk in with tea, and then asked with concern, when she was eating just now, she found that Li Xiu was a little unrelenting, so she took the time to come and see him.

"This ......" Li Xiu showed a hesitant expression when he saw Princess Pingyang come in, not knowing if he should tell her the things he had just thought of?
