"Hahaha~, sixth brother, why didn't you let people inform me before you came, so that I could be prepared?" In the palace of King Wu in Shanghai, Li Ke was very warmly entertaining Li Su.

This morning, Li Ke suddenly came to Shanghai from Taiwan on a steamship, and without anyone in advance, he went directly to Li Ke's mansion, which surprised Li Ke, but he immediately welcomed Li Ke into the hall to speak.

But after hearing this, Li Su smiled and said: "Third brother, what are you polite to me, besides, I only came by myself this time, so I don't need to prepare anything, I just want to chat with you, third brother." ”

"Haha, Liulang, you are a busy man, when will you have time to come and talk to me......" Li Ke's words came to an abrupt end at once, because he thought of Qin Huaiyu who wanted to help him convey his thoughts to Li Su before, and Li Su suddenly came from Taiwan to find him today, except for this matter, he really couldn't think of anything else, so his face was very embarrassed for a while.

And Li Su also stared at Li Ke with some playfulness, and when he saw his third brother embarrassed, he said seriously: "Third brother, you and I are the same mother, and we are closer than other brothers, not to mention that when I was ignorant, thanks to you for taking more care of me, although we are all adults now, but the relationship since childhood has not changed, what ideas do you have to put forward directly with me, otherwise it will seem too foreign?" ”

Hearing Li Su say this, Li Ke smiled bitterly and said: "Sixth brother, it's not that the third brother is outside me, but no matter how I say it, I am also an elder brother, unlike the seventh and eighth brothers, who are young." It makes sense for them to ask you for help, but I, as an older brother, have to beg my younger brother everywhere. This really makes my brother embarrassed to speak! ”

Li Ke also told the truth, and what he said was human nature. After all, in both ancient and modern times, it is generally the elder brother who takes care of the younger brother, but now Li Ke is often helped by Li Su, which makes him already a little embarrassed, and he is even more embarrassed to open his mouth to Li Su.

Li Su was also stunned after hearing this, he only thought about helping the people around him before, but he ignored the psychological feelings of the helped, the third brother in front of him is a living example, presumably he has caused a lot of psychological pressure on Li Ke. And the reason why Li Ke wants to develop outward is probably also to establish a force that truly belongs to him, so as to prove to others that he Li Ke is not worse than Li Ke.

Thinking of this, Li Yu sighed, it seems that he will have to pay attention to this aspect in the future, otherwise he will help others and make others have a pimple in their hearts, which is not a good way to get along. But although I understand what is going on, I still have to help those who should be helped. After all, if Li Ke wants to develop overseas, he will definitely not be able to do without his help.

"I'm sorry third brother, I've neglected your feelings over the years!" Li Su first apologized very sincerely.

However, after Li Ke heard this, he went up and slapped Li Su's chest lightly and said, "What kind of apologies do you have to say, do you think that your third brother is the kind of person who doesn't know how to tidy up." Besides, we're all brothers, shouldn't you help me? ”

Although Li Ke's words somewhat explained Li Su's meaning, it still made Li Su feel a lot better. Next, he stopped going around the bend with Li Ke, and said directly: "Third brother." I've been thinking a lot about what you want to do overseas. Everything else is fine, but I don't know where you want to go right now, and now I have three places for you to choose from, which are Australia, the Americas, and Africa......"

Li Su asked people to take a globe, and then pointed to the map above, and introduced the three places he selected, and the advantages and disadvantages of each place were also mentioned, and finally let Li Ke choose by himself.

After Li Ke listened, his two eyes stared at the small globe in front of him, and the index finger of his right hand tapped the table very regularly.

However, Li Su was not in a hurry, and asked the subordinates of the palace to buy him a few special snacks in Shanghai, and waited for Li Ke to make a decision while eating. He came in too much of a hurry this morning, and he hadn't eaten breakfast yet, and he was in a hurry to talk to Li Ke about things just now, and he was hungry by now.

Just after Li Su had just eaten the last soup bag into his stomach, Li Ke, who was in deep thought, finally moved, only to see him suddenly stretch out his right hand, and then turn it around on the globe, and then shoot two firm eyes in his eyes, and finally said: "Liulang, I have decided!" ”

Li Su was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked while wiping his hands with a towel: "Great, third brother, where do you want to go, I will immediately send someone to help you collect intelligence, and then you will make a specific development plan, if you need anything, just tell me!" ”

However, after hearing this, Li Ke shook his head and smiled: "Sixth brother, you misunderstood, I didn't decide where to go, but decided to go to all three places for a turn, and then make a decision, anyway, I'm still young now, and I have enough time for me to squander, so I think only by seeing it with my own eyes can I choose the most suitable path for me!" ”

Hearing Li Ke's words, Li Su was also stunned, but then said with surprise on his face: "Third brother, your decision is really good, I will definitely accompany you then, speaking of which, whether it is Australia or America, I have never been there, every time I just move this idea, I will be persuaded by Wang An and Lu Hong, it is really ...... Uh~"

Li Su said in the end, and suddenly found that he had told the truth, Wang An and they were worried about safety, so they had not let Li Su run around, and the last time he went to Tianzhu was also secret, and he was blamed by Wang An for many days afterwards, and now Li Ke proposed to go to Australia and other places, which finally gave Li Su a chance to play openly.

Looking at Li Su's excited appearance, Li Ke was dumbfounded, his younger brother is a person with several children, but he is still playful, but he wants to accompany him to Australia and other places, I'm afraid it is not an easy task.

Li Ke wanted to conduct a field trip, and Li Ke wanted to take this opportunity to play, so the two of them could be said to be an instant fit, and soon decided on this matter, and also made Australia the first goal of this trip.

The reason why Australia was chosen, in addition to its relative proximity to Taiwan, is that Australia has been discovered many years ago, and the gold there has also attracted a large number of immigrants, and now Australia has established several coastal cities, and even some people have opened plantations there, and have initially achieved food self-sufficiency, plus the route from Taiwan to Australia has also been very mature, so there is generally no danger to go there, and at the same time, Li Su is also easier to persuade Wang An to them.

However, Li Ke is the king of Wu, and he is the real assassin of Yangzhou, and now he is in charge of Shanghai, so if he wants to leave Shanghai, it is not easy, first he must persuade his wife Yang, and then explain the government affairs of Yangzhou and Shanghai, and it is such a delay, and finally when Li Ke arrived in Taiwan, it was already the spring of the twenty-second year of Zhenguan.

And what Li Ke and Li Ke didn't expect in advance was that Li Ke's wife Yang also asked to accompany him to Australia together, on the grounds that she wanted to taste the lobster there, but she didn't expect Li Ke to agree, and the husband and wife discussed, feeling that there should be no danger in going to Australia, so in the end, the whole family was taken with them, which not only included Li Ke's children, but also more than a dozen people such as Huanren and Teng concubines, plus the maids and servants they brought, a boat can be full.

At this time, Li Su finally persuaded Wang An and them, but he, like Li Ke's wife Yang, could only accompany Li Ke to Australia, and there was no need to think about the Americas and Africa, because those two places were not only far away, but also very unsafe, and in the end Li Ke could only let him take the risk himself.

It's just that when Li Ke rushed to Taiwan with his family, Wen Xin, Gao Yang, and Qinghe, who heard about it, quit doing it, and asked Li Yu to bring them with them, and Yang was also secretly pouting, after all, she also wanted to find a companion on the road, Wen Xin, Qinghe, and Gao Yang's identities were equivalent to her, which was undoubtedly the best choice, and so many people went to Australia together, it must be very lively.

In the end, Li Su thought for a while, since the third brother's family went, there was no reason not to take Wenxin and them there, and in recent years, there has indeed been less movement between their brothers and sisters, not to mention anything else, the children of several families are a little unfamiliar with each other, just take this opportunity to familiarize these children with each other, and they can better support each other when they grow up.

When waiting for Li Ke in advance, Li Su had already made preparations in all aspects, and the plan to go south to Australia was finally finalized, and the ships going south this time were all steamships, first, Australia is indeed a little far away from Taiwan, and a lot of time can be saved by using fast steamships. Second, the steamship network built by Li Su in various parts of the South Seas has also achieved initial results, but there are still some people who are a little repulsed by the new thing of steamboats, and Li Su took his family to the south by steamboat, which is just enough to advertise the steamship and promote the popularity of steamships.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that in addition to Li Su and Li Ke, there is another group of people in the fleet who travel with them, all of whom are steel mill workers mobilized from all over the country, and they will go to Australia to set up a steel plant, because just two years ago, Australia discovered a large number of iron ores, and most of them are rich ores with extremely high iron content, which are much stronger than the iron ore quality in the Central Plains.

In addition, with the increasing population of Australia, the demand for steel is increasing, so the construction of a steel plant there that represents heavy industry has also become a priority. (To be continued......)
