Through the conversation with Qiu Ke and Li Yuan, Li Xiu also had a more comprehensive understanding of the situation in the Americas, speaking of which, there are only two Han forces in the Americas, among which Li Chengdao and Li Yuanji established a Tang Dynasty in the Americas, and Qiu Huke also annexed the city state of Wahaktong after the death of Qu Yi's father, and by the way, also annexed several surrounding city-states, forming a far more powerful Han force than Li Chengdao, and there were tens of thousands of Han people who moved to the Americas with him.

However, although the power of the bearded people was huge, they did not build a country and become kings like Li Chengdao and Li Yuanji, but managed the land under their rule as a family, such as the people of the Zhang family were the core, and those who depended on their Zhang family were distributed on the periphery, and they were tightly united in the form of master and servant or marriage.

Originally, with the means of the bearded guest, outsiders could not intervene in the forces under his command at all, for example, Li Chengdao wanted to poach people from the bearded guest before, but there was no progress in trying his best, but in the past two years, several of Li Chengdao's younger brothers have come of age, and the bearded guest doesn't know what to think, and he actually allowed the two families to intermarry, speaking of which, in that kind of place in the Americas, only the daughters and granddaughters of the bearded guest can be worthy of Li Chengdao's younger brothers, after all, they can't look down on women from ordinary backgrounds.

It is also under this kind of marriage that there is more communication between the two Han forces, the bearded guest and Li Chengdao, and even the personnel can move freely, of course, these bearded guests did not say it explicitly, but Li Xiu can also analyze it from his words, and when these are mentioned, the expression on the bearded guest's face will become a little complicated.

chatted until late at night, Li Xiu was worried that the bearded guest and Li Yuan were old, and staying up late was not good for their health, so he took the initiative to stop chatting and persuade them to go back to rest, and he and Qi Niang did not go back, they stayed on the boat that night, of course, he did not forget to let people report to Li Ke, telling him that he lived outside, so as not to worry him.

But just as Li Xiu was about to rest, he suddenly heard someone knock lightly on the door, which made him stunned for a moment, and then he came over and prepared to open the door, because he thought that Qi Niang, who lived next door, had something to find him, but he didn't expect that when he opened the door, he saw the bearded guest standing outside.

"Uncle, why are you here, please come in!" Li Xiu was stunned for a moment when he saw the bearded guest, and then hurriedly invited the other party into the room.

I saw that the bearded guest nodded first, and then walked in, and only after Li Xiu closed the door did he speak: "Virtuous nephew, you should have heard something today, right?" ”

"This ......" The bearded guest asked coldly, and Li Xiu couldn't react for a while, but then he thought of the bearded guest's strange reaction today, and nodded at the moment, "The little nephew does feel a little strange, because from your standpoint, marrying the Li family is actually not a good thing, but it will allow Chengdao to expand his influence among the Han people under you." ”

In terms of facts, although Li Chengdao is a student of Li Xiu, the bearded guest is his respected elder, so in this matter, Li Xiu also stands in a neutral position, and analyzes the matter without excluding emotional influences.

"You're right, in fact, at the beginning, I was very wary of Chengdao them, although there were few of them, but Li Yuanji was brave, Chengdao was strategic, and his soldiers were all warriors, not to mention those who didn't even have iron weapons in the Americas, and even I wasn't sure that I could defeat them on the battlefield, so when they first arrived in the Americas, I asked them to move to other places to live, so as not to really annex the foundation I had laid."

When he said this, he saw the bearded man pause for a moment, and then he spoke again: "But Chengdao they are really capable, relying on thousands of people to start, slowly laid a lot of foundation, and Chengdao is good at governing the place, even if there are only a few thousand Han people, still the local people under the rule of the subordination of the obedience, and strive to develop the handicraft industry, even weaving and porcelain have been made, resulting in the surrounding Mayan city-states are vying for purchase, and now I am almost as rich as him." ”

"Hehe, Chengdao is my most proud student, and he has been cultivated as the prince of the Tang Dynasty since he was a child, so it is not surprising that he can make such achievements." Li Xiu heard the bearded guest praise Li Chengdao, and he was also honored at the moment.

"Yes, you are a student because you are so good, and in the end I found that no one in my group of children and grandchildren can compare with him, and the most important thing is that he is so young, even my youngest son is older than him, so I have been very worried, in case I die, leaving behind those children and grandchildren who are not successful, how will they keep the inheritance I left behind?" At the end, the bearded man's face once again showed the same complicated look as before, but this complexity was a little heavier.

"Uncle, don't worry too much, Chengdao is your righteous son, and he has received your favor before, with his temperament, he will definitely take more care of the Zhang family in the future!" Regarding the bearded guest's worries, Li Xiu could only speak out to explain.

"Chengdao is indeed a kind of character, although we all know that each other is guarding against each other, but Chengdao does respect me very much, even if I really die in the future, he will never treat my children and grandchildren badly, I know this, but what I am worried about is that in the future, with Chengdao's ability, the American Tang will definitely become stronger and stronger, he is grateful to me, but his children and grandchildren may not, and my Zhang family's children and grandchildren really can't find a person who can carry the beam, if the children and grandchildren of Chengdao want to annex our Zhang family in the future, And who can stop it? The expression on the bearded man's face grew heavier at the end.

Li Xiu was also silent when he heard this, he remembered that the bearded guest had told him a little before, but at that time, Li Chengdao and they had just gone to the Americas, and the foundation was not very stable, plus the bearded guest was also a few years younger, and his spirit was still very high, so he only mentioned a few words, and Li Xiu was not impressed by them.

"Originally, Eleven was still good, and he was relatively good among my children and grandchildren, but compared with Chengdao, he was nothing, and he had a bit of a problem with his personality, so it would be really difficult to pick a leader in the future!" At this moment, I only heard the bearded guest speak again, and the expression of loneliness on his face became heavier.

Li Xiu also nodded in agreement when he heard this, Zhang Shiyi has now become a businessman, and he is doing quite well, but Zhang Shiyi is not decisive enough to do things, and he does not have the courage to be a bearded customer, it is definitely no problem to be a successful businessman, but if he is in charge of the military and political power of one side, it is inevitable that there will be problems.

"Then the uncle allowed the two families to marry before, has he already made a decision?" Li Xiu sighed and said at this time, and at this time, he finally guessed the plan of the bearded guest.
