Seeing his little aunt and little brother-in-law staring at him, Wang Xu didn't have to wait for the festival to fall to the ground, without saying a word, he pinched his nose and drank all the goat's milk in one breath.

Then he picked up a bowl of boiled water and drank most of the cup, before he barely suppressed the smell in his mouth.

As for why don't you wait for the festival to get rid of the ground?

That's not because Wang Xu found that in front of his little aunt, there was no discipline at all.

Wang Xu has indeed increased the amount of exercise from last night to this morning. Wang Xibao was afraid that Wang Xu would be hungry during class in the morning, so she asked Jinzhu to bring Wang Xu a gourd of goat's milk and a lot of snacks to school.

Sitting in the carriage, Wang Xu looked at the brocade box containing snacks that Jinzhu put down, and the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously.

Xindao: Little aunt, didn't you say you didn't have snacks there? What is it?

Wang Jibao and Lin Xi sit in the same carriage every day when they go to school.

Because it is nearly half an hour's drive from the Hou Mansion to the academy. Therefore, on the road, it usually becomes the time for Wang Jibao to catch up on sleep.

Sometimes, Lin Xi will also sleep with her for a while. Sometimes, Lin Xi studied and analyzed the information collected by his subordinates on the carriage and gave some instructions.

Today, Wang Jibao did not sleep, but studied intelligence with Lin Xi.

"There is a flood in the Putian area, should you send someone there?" Wang Jibao held the information in her hand and pointed to one of them to ask Lin Xi.

Lin Xi nodded and responded, "Hmm." I'll send someone to arrange it later. ”

"Is the silver tael you trained there enough, do you need me to pay some of it?" Wang Jibao continued to ask.

"No, I don't. I still have a lot of silver taels in my hand. Besides, after this period of time, these people can also start to earn money. "To say that the silver taels on hand are really too unspent. used to feel that he couldn't spend all the silver taels left by his father to make a profit in his store, but now according to Wang Jibao's words, it is scum.

Fortunately, Wang Jibao is more business-minded, which makes Lin Xi make a lot of money.

"Then you will take out part of the silver taels in my hand and buy a mountain in the northeast of Shaoguo, right?"

"Buy a mountain? Most of them are barren mountains, can you make money buying them? ”

"Hmm. As long as it is well transformed, it should be fine. Moreover, in the future, if we don't get it right, it will become our base. "Wang Xibao lives in the north in modern times and has been to the countryside there. Although it is certainly not possible to let her farm, she has seen how the people there make a fortune. Therefore, there is some eagerness to try.

What's more, because of Lin Xi's embarrassing identity, it is better to find a fief in the future, recuperate, and secretly develop his own power.

Compared to those rich fiefdoms, the Northeast is relatively desolate, and no one will have the idea of going there. Of course, it won't be too noticeable.

The Hongwu Continent is not the only country in Yongguo. In the early years of the previous dynasty, because of a palace change, the whole country was eventually torn apart.

Coupled with the continuous expansion of some small countries that existed before, the current five large countries of Yongguo, Dingguo, Shaoguo, Minguo and Kangguo were gradually formed. In addition, there are some Hujia, Dianlu, Yuxi, barbarians, etc., collectively known as foreign peoples, and small states composed of some tribal alliances.

Among them, the Yongguo Kingdom is the largest, which is a continuation of the previous dynasty and occupies the richest area in the central part of the country.

Dingguo is located in the north-western region and is the second largest country. Because there are many foreign tribes living on the border of Dingguo, it will be harassed by foreign tribes all year round, and wars are constant. But it is precisely because of this that the soldiers of Dingguo are brave and good at fighting.

Moreover, the current emperor of Dingguo is vigorously promoting the intermarriage between his own people and foreigners, and vigorously developing commerce and trade with foreign peoples. Therefore, in recent years, the country has been quite united and peaceful, and business has become more and more prosperous. There is a great tendency to catch up with Yongguo.

Lin Xi comes from the third country, Shaoguo, and is located in the northeast of the Hongwu continent.

Shao was also a very prosperous country at the beginning, but because of the old emperor's arrogance, lewdness, mediocrity and incompetence, especially his preference for male style, the whole country was in mourning. Shaoguo has shown a decline in recent years.

In addition, there are Min Kook in the southwest and Kang Kook in the southeast. These two countries are relatively small in size, and the people are not as tall as those in the north, and they are relatively less warlike. In terms of national strength, it is much worse than Yongguo, Dingguo and Shaoguo.

Lin Xi's father, Zhu Yonghong, the eldest son of Shaoguo.

He came from a low background, but he was well-known in Shao Country because of his handsome appearance and courage and good fighting.

Because of the persecution of his mother-in-law for many years, he went to the battlefield when he was only twelve years old. Due to his repeated miraculous achievements, he finally relied on his military exploits and was awarded the title of General Pingxi of the second rank at the age of less than a weak crown.

And because he has the title of the first beautiful man in Shaoguo, he wants to marry his noble lady such as Jiang Zhiqing.

Later, he married Feng, the third daughter of Yong'an Hou, as his wife.

Because the Feng family has been married for three years and has nothing to do, he invited himself to leave the court.

The old emperor Shaowen Emperor gave his youngest daughter Xu Yanrong, Princess Xing'an, to Zhu Yonghong as his wife.

A few years after marriage, Princess Xing'an gave birth to her eldest son Zhu Linjiang and her second son Zhu Linhe.

To say that other princesses are not allowed to marry concubines, but Zhu Yonghong is special. Before he was Princess Shang Xing'an, there were a group of concubines in the house. And because Zhu Yonghong was quite valued by Emperor Shaowen, therefore, after Princess Xing'an married him, she could only watch Zhu Juma take concubines one after another and could not resist like an ordinary wife.

Princess Xing'an wants to put the princess's score and live in her own princess's mansion, and everything is up to her.

It's not that it can't be done, but Zhu Juma won't go to the princess's mansion at all.

So Princess Xing'an finally had to swallow her anger and move to the general's mansion to live.

Besides, after Zhu Yonghong was originally married to Feng's self-invited to leave the hall, although he set up a separate courtyard to eat fasting and recite Buddha, he didn't care about all the things in the general's mansion. But the family tree still occupies the position of wife.

Princess Xing'an, who can only be regarded as a flat wife, was recorded in the family tree.

But these outsiders don't know.

The most surprising thing is yet to come. That is, in the sixth year after Princess Xing'an married Zhu Yonghong, Feng, who had been married for ten years and had not been pregnant, actually gave birth to a son without anyone knowing.

This son is Zhu Linxi. That is, Lin Xi.

The reason why Lin Xi's identity is embarrassing is because of the embarrassing position of his mother Feng, the wife.

In this way, Zhu Linxi is in an embarrassing position in the eyes of outsiders.

Because Lin Xi was born in poor health, he was sick and crooked all year round. Zhu Yonghong sent someone to send Lin Xi to Yixian Valley for treatment.

When Lin Xi was in good health, he still nominally stayed in Yixian Valley to recuperate. In fact, he was secretly received by Xia Yanhe, the idle king who traveled to Shaoguo, to Yongdu.

This is Lin Xi, to be exact, Zhu Linxi's true identity and true status.

There is also something to emphasize here: Lin Xi's father, Zhu Yonghong, was accompanied by the old emperor Emperor Shaowen all the year round in the name of serving the sick. According to rumors, most of the decrees of the current Shao State are actually from him.

It can be said that Zhu Yonghong is now the real person in charge of Shaoguo.

It is precisely because of Zhu Yonghong's special identity that Emperor Yongsheng and King Xian attach so much importance to Lin Xi.

Because of the rise of Dingguo, Yongguo will inevitably unite with Shaoguo just in case.

Therefore, an alliance between the two countries is imperative.

Marriage is also one of the best ways.

It is precisely because of this that Emperor Yongsheng personally went out and single-handedly promoted the marriage of Wang Jibao and Lin Xi.

As for the treasure bet on Lin Xi, right? No one knows.

But everyone is secretly silently supporting Lin Xi, so that he will at least have the strength to compete with his brothers in the future.

Among them, Wang Xibao's help to Lin Xi is really beyond everyone's imagination.

One of them is the adoption of some strong-minded orphans.

In any case, in the future, if you want to put yourself in an undefeated position, human, financial, and material resources will play a vital role.

Among them, the extensiveness and accuracy of the sources and the speed of message transmission are the key factors for whether we can make judgments based on the situation in a timely manner.

Therefore, it is urgent to establish its own agency to deliver the message.

In this way, Lin Xi and Wang Jibao did not hesitate to spend a lot of silver taels to cultivate their own power.

After three years of operation, it has achieved initial results.

Now we have received news that another area has been affected. Disaster relief is not their responsibility, but it is a good time to recruit talent.

By the time the two of them had studied the specific matters, the carriage had stopped.

"The lord of the county, the prince. The academy arrived. ”

"Hmm." After Lin Xi finished speaking, he lifted the curtain and stepped on the stool to get out of the carriage first. Then he turned around and went to help Wang Jibao.

Lin Xi's entourage is still a book. Wang Jibao's entourage was replaced by a beautiful scenery.

Because of their age, the Xiangwu people have been made the masters by the Jiang family and assigned to Wang Jibao's own shop and the steward and head of the Zhuangzi. Now help Wang Jibao take care of the outside affairs.

Because Wang Xibao didn't like this kind of people around her, and out of consideration for her safety, Lin Xi decided to select a few people from the secret guards brought by Shaoguo to act as the big maids around Wang Xibao.

These guards are actually dead soldiers, and it is impossible for them to marry in their lifetime.

Don't feel like it's too inhuman.

After all, many of the things that Wang Jibao and Lin Xi did were classified and could never be passed on. What's more, Wang Jibao's net worth and life will also be in the hands of these people in the future, how can you find a few people casually? How can these people be released to marry at will?

In the end, four people in their twenties were selected from more than a dozen people.

Wang Jibao named the four of them respectively: Good Day, Beautiful Scenery, Sunny Day and Sunny Day.

Among them, Liangchen was bold and careful, she replaced Dong Pu and took charge of the Baozhu Courtyard for Wang Jibao.

The beautiful scenery is sweet and petite, and it is very deceptive. And the most important point is that she came out of the Valley of Medicine Immortals. In addition to good medical skills, the best thing is poisoning and detoxification. Therefore, she often follows Wang Jibao and takes care of Wang Jibao.

At the same time, she is also a master of intelligence.
