Three days later, the Shanghai wharf was filled with colorful flags, and there were three guards, one post, five steps, and one sentry and a police force, because His Majesty the Emperor had come to see off the Imperial Chinese delegation visiting the United States of America.

Originally, the head of the delegation should be Lord Rong Hongrong, but since there is a former prime minister of the State Council, the current senator of the Senate, and the emperor's brother Prince Yi Li Yongchang, he can only take a back seat and give up the position of leader.

Of course, it is precisely because of Li Yongchang's storage that the level of the send-off has increased a lot, not only the emperor Xià came in person, but even the emperor and the queen mother also came.

That's right, the so-called Emperor Taishang is Li Zhengxiang, and the Queen Mother is naturally Li Yongji's mother Wang Xin, or Li Wang's family.

Although Li Yongji is the founding emperor, he is too young, he can be said to be the youngest founding emperor in Chinese history, and his parents are still alive, so according to the rules, the emperor's parents are honored as the emperor and the empress dowager, and they are also honored to be called His Majesty.

However, Li Zhengxiang is low-key, so even if he becomes the emperor, he does not interfere in the government affairs lightly, and at most pushes his eldest son out to help the second son, but he himself does not come out, although he still has a position as a senator of the Senate and a justice of the Supreme Court, but in fact he just does not do things.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Li Zhengxiang will completely take a back seat to enjoy his old age now, in fact, what Li Zhengxiang is doing now is more important, that is, he wants to continue to run Li's business empire!

For example, China CITIC Bank, Dai Mengde Jewelry, as well as those silver trumpet associations, business associations, and high-yield crop Nongxing Group, etc., these industries are still under Li Zhengxiang's control and operate in Li Zhengxiang's hands, and these things are one of the real confidence of the Li family to control the country.

It can be said that the Li family is now a division of labor and cooperation. In addition to training the army to fight abroad, Li Yongji's main activity is to conduct time and space transactions, but what he does is only provide materials and then purchase materials.

Therefore, since the development of the present, because of Li Yongji's laziness, or the lack of suspicion, even he himself does not know how much industry he has. All he knew was how much money he had and how much he could do.

In Li Yongji's view, he has the golden finger of the space-time trading system, and only needs to regularly go back and forth to toss materials, as for how to sell materials at a high price, how to better obtain maximum profits, it is still left to other more professional people to be responsible, that is to say, all go to the market.

In fact, it can't be said that Li Yongji's mud can't support the wall, in fact, it just shows that he is smart enough. It shows that he has grown.

It's very simple, because if Li Yongji does it himself, not to mention the question of how much energy is delayed, he himself is not familiar with the market. I will definitely make the same mistake as at the beginning, that is, I take it for granted to make a price, which seems to be very cheap and competitive, and makes a lot of profits. But in fact, because the modern materials he engaged in are unique to a family and completely monopolized, he can make more and more money.

Or rather. Even if Li Yongji doesn't want to make more, he can give the middle discount to his own people, so that the entire pro-Li Yongji group can benefit, which in turn is equivalent to increasing Li Yongji's strength.

Therefore, Li Yongji does not sell goods himself, but only supplies and receives, and then looks at the total income and expenditure statement, and hands over all business activities to credible people, which is the wisest decision.

This credible professional is naturally Li Zhengxiang, so the number of specific industries of the Li family, who is doing each industry, and what the benefits are, Li Yongji may not know, but Li Zhengxiang, who is personally at the helm, is clear.

Li Zhengxiang actually didn't want to hand over this matter to others and let others share some worries for himself, but Li Yongji was not interested in these details, Li Yongchang was okay, but he still had to help Li Yongji share government affairs, so the business empire was all on Li Zhengxiang.

Fortunately, Li Zhengxiang is not disgusted by this, on the contrary, he is still very interested in managing business, as Li Yongji said, he can be regarded as enjoying it.

Moreover, he also has a son-in-law, Lin Guangyao is now by his side, which can be regarded as replacing Li Yongchang's position before, and sometimes he himself has to praise that Lin Guangyao's talent in doing things, at least in business, is indeed much stronger than Li Yongchang.

The scenes of separation are always touching, especially the Queen Mother Wang Xin, who held Li Yongchang's hand and kept shedding tears, which once again confirmed the saying that the mother of a thousand miles is worried.

"Queen Mother, don't cry, be careful that the wind hurts your body." Li Yongchang, who was held by the hand, also felt a little emotional.

"Hey, you." The Queen Mother Wang Xin shook her head, wiped her tears, and then looked at Li Yongji next to her, and then looked at Li Yongchang again, "You guys, one or two, why don't you have one Ansheng...... Forget it, you have all grown up and have your own opinions, and motherhood can't stop you all the time. However, this trip is a long way, and I heard that the United States is thousands of miles away, so you must be careful along the way. ”

"The queen mother can rest assured, my son is going to take a big ship, with an American as the captain, taking the old route, and there are royal guards along the way, so it will be fine." Li Yongchang smiled.

"Yes, this trip will be fine, you can rest assured." Li Zhengxiang also walked over and nodded slightly, "It's not too early, and the child should be let go, otherwise it will be delayed, and it will not be beautiful." ”

"Be sure to pay more attention and make sure you are in good health!" Wang Xin stroked Li Yongchang's hand again, "It's over, you must come back early!" ”

"Yes, Queen Mother!"

After Li Yongchang finished speaking, he took out his hand, took a few steps back, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to his father and mother three times, then stood up and arched his hand: "Father and queen mother, the hour is not early, and my son is going to go." ”

After kowtowing to his parents, Li Yongchang bowed deeply to Li Yongji again, and before he could raise his head, he suddenly found that Li Yongji walked over in a few steps, hugged him tightly, and punched Li Yongchang's arm.

Of course, this punch didn't have any force, otherwise, with Li Yongji's monster-like strength now, he could be knocked over with just one punch.

In this regard, in fact, Li Yongji himself is also a little distressed, because he found that as he grew older, his strength began to become bigger and bigger, so that he had to carefully control his strength, and if he was not careful, he would break the tables, chairs and benches.

All in all, although Li Yongji's strength is still barely within the scope of human beings, he doesn't know if it will continue like this if it continues, and he vaguely feels that the changes in his body seem to be connected with the space-time trading system, and it seems that the stronger the body, the stronger the ability of the space-time trading system.

This also means that once its own ability breaks through a critical point, I am afraid that the space-time trading system will change again, at least the trading tonnage will become larger.

"Good boys are ambitious!" Li Yongji smiled, "Big brother, don't leave your mother-in-law and mother-in-law, just go to the United States, it's not life and death, let's leave quickly." After going abroad, see more, listen more, think more, and when we come back, our brothers will have a good time! ”

"Well said!" Li Yongchang was also aroused by Li Yongji's pride, laughed, and also returned a fist to Li Yongji, "When I come back from abroad, I'll come over to help you!" ”

"It's a deal! I'm waiting for you to come back! ”

After seeing Li Yongji nodding with a smile, Li Yongchang exhaled, hugged Li Yongji and his parents again, and then turned around and strode towards the gangway surrounded by the guards.

After Li Yongchang boarded the newly cleaned cruiser Weiyuan, the time for sailing came, and after that, the Zhenyuan that saw off the departing fired a 12-gun salute, and the Weiyuan, Dingyuan, and other large and small merchant ships and supply ships that followed began to sail out of the port one after another.

Watching the boat go farther and farther, Wang Xin couldn't help shedding tears, and at the same time folded his hands and closed his eyes and read in pieces.

At this time, Li Yongji thought that she was still worried because she was by her side, so she hurriedly comforted: "Mother, don't worry, Weiyuan and Dingyuan are two of the three warships with the largest tonnage at present, the captain and sailors are all experienced, and there are three thousand Praetorian Guards who I personally trained to escort, plus it is winter, and there is very little bad weather on the sea at this time, so safety is no problem, don't worry." ”

Indeed, if it was just Rong Hong leading the team, the specifications were not so high, and it was originally planned to only dispatch a cruiser from Dingyuan to the field, but since it is now the emperor's own brother who also goes with him, and in the name of representing the royal family, it is necessary to add some security measures, let the Weiyuan also follow, and bring more supply ships and the Royal Janissaries as escorts.

Although the Zhenyuan has not been accompanied by modern modifications and the things on it are too sensitive, and the Weiyuan and Dingyuan have not been modernized because they have not been sent to modern times, they cannot be compared with the Zhenyuan, but these two ships are also equipped with improved Napoleon guns of 117 mm caliber, and the power is still quite good.

In addition, the Royal Guard is all Sharps rifles, and even some 56 light machine guns and bazookas are secret weapons, so it is no problem to deal with ordinary pirates.

Of course, this is not only a security issue, but also a pomp and face issue, after all, Li Yongchang's patrol represents not only the Chinese Empire, but also the face of the royal family, so you can't be too hasty.

"Yongji, you don't understand." Wang Xin touched Li Yongji's forehead, just like she was used to doing before, "I'm not worried, I'm asking the Bodhisattva for protection." ”

"Bodhisattva bless?" Li Yongji was stunned.

"Yes, Bodhisattva." Queen Mother Wang Xin nodded, "You are all my biological children, and you are all my mother's heart, my mother doesn't care about your achievements, she only cares about whether you are doing well or not, whether you are safe or not."

Thousands of miles away, and it is an unpredictable sea route, how can there be nothing to do at all? So it's fake to say not to worry.

But my mother also knows that it is superfluous to worry, because you are all old and have your own opinions, so my mother can't do anything else now, so I can only ask the Bodhisattva to bless you and bless you all with peace in your life! (To be continued......)
