Li Yizhi said to himself, but the people present were already dumbfounded.

Especially Song Shidao, he clearly remembered that Li Yizhi had belittled Li Mi, Dou Jiande and others to uselessness, and it was impossible to win the world.

But now, how is it all possible?

Moreover, the other party also spoke reasonably and gave a specific program of action, which made it impossible for people to refute it at all.

Song Yuzhi's mind is much simpler, but he thinks that Li Yizhi is too powerful, and he can say that what is dead can be said to be alive.

Hou Xibai fanned the fan, shaking and shaking.

He felt that Li Yizhi was quibbling, because it was impossible for Yang Guang to wake up, and Li Mi, Zhai Rang and others were not so smart and would do what Li Yizhi said.

However, there is a case in everything.

If Li Yizhi assists either of them, does it mean that they all have the hope of winning the world?

Li Shimin's brothers and sisters were deeply shocked in their hearts.

Although they knew that this was Li Yizhi's quibble, the program of action given by the other party could really change the situation in the world.

It can be said that if today's words are leaked out, then the battle in the world will become more intense, and the possibility of Li Valu seizing the world will also be greatly reduced.

Even if you win the world in the end, you will inevitably lose a lot.

One word can prosper the country, one word can destroy the country, nothing more.

Therefore, Li Shimin's brother and sister looked at Li Yizhi more eagerly, such a talent, no matter what, they had to recruit it.

It's just that this is obviously not the place to talk in detail, and they can only temporarily suppress the eagerness in their hearts for the time being.

Time passed slowly, and soon it was noon.

Hou Xibai left everyone for lunch, and then Li Yizhi and the others said goodbye and left.

Li Yi got into the carriage of the Song family, and the Li Shimin brothers and sisters followed.

in the carriage.

Li Yizhi said: "Master, is there anything important that you came to find me in the Amorous Villa this time?" ”

Song Shidao smiled, he glanced at Song Yuzhi, and said, "I have something to look for you, but I am not in a hurry, mainly because someone wants to see you as soon as possible." ”

"Brother!" Song Yuzhi blushed and lowered his head.

Li Yizhi's face was as usual, and he said, "Oh, what's the matter?" ”

Song Shidao looked at Li Yizhi's expression, couldn't help sighing in his heart, and said: "It's about drying salt, now there is a large-scale salt production, this time we transported ten large ships of sea salt to Bashu, because the price was reduced by forty percent, attracting salt dealers from all over the country to rob." I'm afraid it won't be long before the salt gang in Bashu will have to be disbanded. ”

Bashu is out of the well salt, controlled by the salt gang, and its strength is quite strong.

However, although the Salt Gang is rich, it is not strong in force.

Therefore, in the face of the alliance of Duzun Fort and the Song family, even if he knew that he was going to go bankrupt, he could only accept it silently.

"After defeating the Salt Gang, the next step is to suppress the Haisha Gang, and then gradually monopolize the illegal salt in the south."

Li Yi's heart moved, and he said, "That's right, Shidao." I've been in dire need of silver lately, and I don't know how much you've made this time, so can you give me all the money for the time being? ”

"No problem. Now there are 400,000 taels of silver on the ship, and I can give it all to you, and then you can have someone take it. ”

Song Shidao readily agreed, and he said, "Yizhi." Previously, in the Amorous Villa, you have counted all the forces, but our Song family is missing, how do you think our Song family should develop? ”

Li Yizhi muttered: "Since your Song family has no intention of competing for the world, the fundamental goal of development lies in how to enhance its own strength, which can be taken in two steps. ”

"One step is to develop overseas, outside our Central Plains, on the endless ocean, there are still a large number of islands, where resources are rich and sparsely populated, your Song family can send a fleet to occupy and develop."

The other step was to stand on its own feet, send troops to Shaoguan, capture Poyang Lake and Dongting Lake, and seize the area north of the Yangtze River. Then accept the northern refugees and sit back and watch the world strife. At that time, you can attack, retreat can defend, or follow the example of Emperor Wen when you divide one side. ”

Song Shidao's eyes lit up, and then he shook his head and said: "Yizhi, sending a fleet to occupy overseas islands is a good suggestion, and now the civil war between the various forces in the Central Plains just gives our Song family enough opportunities." It's just that sending troops to Shaoguan and capturing the north of the Yangtze River may not work. This is undoubtedly to tell all the forces in the Central Plains that our Song family is going to fight for the world, which is inconsistent with our original strategy. ”

"In that case, let's do your best overseas. Overseas islands are rich in all kinds of scarce resources, and if they can be sold to the Central Plains, they will definitely make a lot of profits. ”

Li Yizhi said: "How long are you going to stop in Yangzhou this time, why don't you go to Taishou Mansion to sit?" ”

"No, we'll leave early tomorrow morning, and we have to prepare all kinds of supplies next, I'm afraid we don't have time." Song Shidao said.

The carriage moved slowly and soon arrived at Yangzhou City.

As soon as he entered the city, a noisy quarrel was heard outside the carriage, and the carriage slowly stopped.

The coachman's voice came from outside the curtain of the car, and said, "Childe, there are two people arguing ahead, and the road has been blocked, and the carriage cannot pass. ”

"Didn't the city guards come and deal with it?"

Li Yizhi frowned, he was strict with the people below, and even the battles in the rivers and lakes were not allowed to take place in the city, let alone a large group of people gathered to block the street.

The coachman's voice came in again: "Qi Yu Taishou, there are no city guards coming for the time being, when I passed through the city gate before, I found that there were not many soldiers at the city gate, maybe the troops were not enough." ”

Li Yizhi nodded, and didn't think much about it, he said to Master Song: "Since this is the case, then I will get off the carriage first, and you can take a detour to leave, and you will not have to be stuck here." ”

"Well, okay, then we'll have a date later." Song Shidao said.

Li Yizhi nodded at Song Yuzhi, lifted the curtain, and got out of the carriage.

The groom flicked his whip and turned away.

Li Yizhi looked up and looked ahead, it seemed that neither of the two parties would give way, and finally quarreled, attracting a large number of people to besiege and block the street.

He looked back at the city gate not far away, and found that there were not many soldiers above and below the gate, more than half less than usual.

At this moment, four soldiers ran quickly, trying to disperse the crowd.

Li Yizhi took out his waist card and raised it, and they all bowed and saluted, and shouted in unison: "See Taishou." ”

"What's going on, why are there so few guards at the city gate today?" Li Yizhi asked.

One of the soldiers said: "Yu Taishou, not long ago, Captain Chen temporarily withdrew most of his troops, saying that he was going to encircle and suppress an anti-thief den, which made our troops here scarce. ”

Captain Chen is the captain of the gate guard in Xicheng, and he is also responsible for the security of Xicheng District.

Li Yizhi nodded slightly, he waved his hand, and said, "Go and disperse the crowd, dredge the avenue as soon as possible, and punish both sides of the dispute." ”

"Yes, Taishou."

When the four soldiers heard this, they hurriedly stepped forward to shout and disperse the crowd.

When the people saw the soldiers coming, they scattered one after another.

In the chaos, a middle-aged man with gloomy eyes slowly approached Li Yizhi.

When he was about ten meters away, he suddenly rose into the air, and with a wave of his right hand, a cold light shot out, heading straight for Li Yizhi.

"Be careful!"

Li Shimin and Li Xiuning shouted one after another, their voices anxious.

They were on horseback, and because they had a good view, they spotted it at the first time.

It's just that the yin owl man shot too fast, and they didn't have time to rescue at all, so they could only watch as the flying knife shot in front of Li Yizhi.

At the same time, not far from the second floor of the restaurant.

Zhang Shihe stood by the window, witnessing all this condescendingly through the slightly open window.

The corners of his mouth curled up into a three-point sneer.

Although Yu Wenhua doesn't take Li Yizhi seriously, he is not so eager to get rid of the other party.

But he Zhang Shihe can't, his brother's hatred, he can't wait for a moment.

Since Yu Wenhua is not making a move, then he will ask someone to take action himself.

Therefore, Zhang Shihe carefully planned this scene, and he believed that without the personal protection of the master, Li Yizhi would only have a dead end.
