Chapter 31: The Li family makes efforts to solve the material problem
Haiyuan City, the city lord's mansion.
Xia Ren is writing a letter, it is to Li Guifei, he wants Li Guifei to ask the Li family to help him find a way to the black iron wood in the south, Li Guifei is also a person he can trust, so he is not worried about the news leaking.
Xia Ren himself has no channels to buy a large amount of black ironwood, but the Zhou family can buy a small amount, but if you want to buy a large amount, you must look for those family chaebols, and the Zhou family has not been able to reach that level.
Li Guifei is from the Li family, not only the concubine of the Xia Emperor of the Dynasty, but also the Li family is also the top family of the Great Xia Dynasty, so with Li Guifei coming forward, Xia Ren believes that he will definitely be able to buy a large amount of black ironwood.
The time was spent in Xia Ren's waiting, during which he also exchanged the resources obtained by Wang Jiang's two families for spirit stones, in case of emergency, after all, cultivation, shipbuilding and the like all require a large number of spirit stones.
......
Summer Capital Palace, Yonghe Palace.
Concubine Li was drinking tea in the courtyard at this time, and people of her level could no longer improve their cultivation by simply retreating, and every step forward required a lot of resources.
At this time, an old woman walked in with a letterbox and whispered a few words to Concubine Li.
Li Guifei's eyes lit up suddenly, she took the letterbox in the old grandmother's hand, opened the letterbox with a special technique, and took out the secret letter in it.
This letterbox is specially made, it is the contact information agreed upon by Li Guifei and Xia Ren at the beginning, and it can only be opened through special methods, otherwise if it is forcibly opened, the secret letter inside will be destroyed.
Looking at the contents of the letter, Li Guifei gradually showed a relieved smile.
As soon as Xia Ren arrived in Haiyuan City, it took him a few days to solve the family that had been entrenched in Haiyuan City for countless years, and then he also cracked down on the pirates who trafficked in human beings and exterminated the three masters of it.
This made Li Guifei very relieved, Xia Ren has gradually gained the ability to stand alone, which makes Li Guifei, who was very worried about Xia Ren at the beginning, feel a lot more relieved.
Continuing to look down, Li Guifei's smile gradually retracted, and then put away the secret letter and the letterbox, and there was a letter written by Xia Ren to Xia Xi in the letterbox.
Then Li Guifei said to the old lady next to her.
"Mama Gui, does our Li family have business dealings in the south?"
Mama Gui thought for a moment and said respectfully: "Niangniang, our Li family has business dealings with the Sun Hou family in Nanban Prefecture. ”
Concubine Li Guifei pondered for a while, and said lightly: "Then let's do it, in the name of the palace and the Li family, you have ordered a large amount of black iron wood from the Sun family for a long time, and when the time comes, the palace will send someone to contact the Sun family, and as for the expenses, it will be deducted from the profits of the Li family." ”
"This, do you need to talk to Hou Ye Li?"
Mama Gui looked at Concubine Li and asked suspiciously.
Li Guifei raised her head and glanced at her lightly, and said calmly: "It's okay to say something, and get things done as soon as possible." ”
......
Summer capital, Li Mansion.
This is the mansion that Emperor Xia rewarded Li Yuande for the peaceful rebellion, and it is also the residence of the Li family in the summer capital.
Li Yuande was in the study at this time, listening to Mama Gui's report on the news in the palace.
"That's what Yan'er really said?"
After listening to Mama Gui's words, Li Yuande asked with a frown.
"Back to Hou Ye, Niang Niang did say so, and said that let Hou Ye get things done as soon as possible. ”
After Mama Gui finished speaking, she lowered her head and waited anxiously.
Li Yuande pondered for a moment and said, "You go back and tell Yan'er, I know about this, and I will handle it as soon as possible." ”
Mama Gui suddenly left the study with a sense of relief.
Others don't know who Li Yuande is, Mama Gui is clear as the old man of the Li Mansion, don't look at Li Yuande smiling in front of people, he is called a smiling tiger, that's because the level of those people is not much different from him.
If the rest of the people stood in front of Li Yuande and tried to ensure that their legs trembled, how could the title of Peaceful Marquis come about?
Watching Mama Gui leave, Li Yuande shook his head and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that my great-grandson would not be willing to be lonely, but as Yan'er's heart, I am not good at watching." ”
Then he shouted outside the door: "Lao Fu, come in." ”
A white-haired old man walked in tremblingly at the door and asked, "What's the matter, master?"
Li Yuande scolded with a smile: "The people of the Holy Fetal Realm are still pretending to be dying, and I don't know what you think." ”
Lao Fu is silent, the child is not a fish, and he knows the joy of fish.
"You take my token and go to Sun Manzi's house in Nanban Prefecture, and say that the old man needs a lot of black iron wood, let him hurry up and get ready, the fee will be owed first, and wait for him to give him more weapons and armor made of spiritual gold next time. ”
Lao Fu answered and went out.
......
In the blink of an eye, ten days have passed since Xia Ren wrote a letter to Concubine Li Guifei, and the lives of the people of Haiyuan City have been improved in an orderly manner under the governance of Fang Xuanling, and the virtues of King Ren are praised everywhere in the city.
And His Royal Highness Nioh, who has a beautiful character, is reading Li Guifei's reply at this time.
Li Guifei said in the letter that he had contacted the Sun family in Nanban Prefecture for him, as long as he sent someone to hand over the Li family's token to the Sun family, and even the money needed to buy black iron wood did not need to be paid, and Li Guifei had done it for him.
The letter also wrote that he would often write back in the future, she and Xia Xi missed him very much, especially Xia Xi, often blamed him for not writing back, this time I received Xia Ren's letter, and the girl didn't sleep all night with excitement.
At the end of the letter, Li Guifei was also encouraging him, saying that if he had any ideas in his heart, just do it, if there was any difficulty, even if she wrote the letter, she would definitely do her best to help, and also advised Xia Ren not to have too much pressure, if it didn't work, he would go back to Xia Du, with her Li Guifei here, no one could hurt him.
After reading Concubine Li's letter, Xia Ren also felt a warm current in his heart, it was a great happiness to have a mother and sister who cared about you so much in this world.
Xia Ren also believed that Li Guifei saw that he must have bought a large amount of black iron wood to build warships, so he must have the idea of seizing the throne, but Li Guifei still supported him, and this kind of move was also a great risk.
However, Xia Ren believes that he will succeed in the end, and his goal is not just a Great Xia Dynasty, what he wants is the whole world, and he can summon so many civil and military generals all the time, Xia Ren is still worried about the success of the great cause.
Today's low-key development just doesn't want to attract attention and cause some unnecessary trouble, and when he secretly accumulates enough strength, the entire Great Xia Dynasty will be shocked.
After putting away the replies from Li Guifei and Xia Xi, Xia Ren took out the token in the letterbox and glanced at it, and then sent someone to pass on Zhou Yeping and Zhou Cang.
After the two arrived, Xia Ren spoke: "Master Zhou, this king has contacted the Sun family in Nanban Prefecture, they will provide a large amount of black iron to us, you can prepare for a few days and set off, I will send Zhou Cang to escort you all the way." ”
After thinking about it, Xia Ren continued: "After you get there, you will say that the Li family in Donghai Prefecture sent you to contact you, take this token, and they will take you to pick up the goods when the time comes." ”
After speaking, Xia Ren handed over a token engraved with the character Li to Zhou Yeping.
Zhou Yeping respectfully accepted the token.
He knew about the Sun family in Nanban Prefecture, that was one of the overlord forces in Nanban Prefecture, and the status of the Li family in Donghai Prefecture was about the same, with the help of the Sun family, it would be easy to get a large amount of black ironwood.
Then Zhou Yeping asked suspiciously: "Then I don't know what the price His Highness negotiated with the Sun family? ”
Xia Ren smiled: "No need, the money has already been paid, you can go over there and directly show the token to pick up the goods, remember to take the sea transportation, so hurry up." ”
Zhou Yeping bowed down to receive the order.
Zhou Cang next to him was excited, he heard that the people in Nanban Prefecture were very belligerent, and he didn't know if he could find a few opponents over there to fight happily.
Looking at Zhou Cang, who was full of excitement, Xia Ren said lightly: "Yuanfu, you are only responsible for protecting the Zhou family master and Hei Tiemu on this trip, and you must not cause chaos, otherwise you will come back to serve in the military law." ”
Zhou Cang's smile suddenly froze, and he responded with a wry smile.
Xia Ren looked at Zhou Yeping and said, "I also bother the head of the Zhou family to help supervise it, Yuanfu is impatient, and he must always be reminded not to let him cause trouble for no reason." ”
Zhou Yeping nodded with a smile, indicating that he knew.
After Zhou Yeping and Zhou Cang left, Xia Ren breathed a long sigh of relief, now that the main material problem of the warship has been solved, he can also save a lot of money and use it to buy other materials.
Since there is no problem with the materials, it is now necessary to continue to find the location of the shipyard, preferably at sea, and I don't know how Zhou Tai's sailors are trained and whether they can fight.
Forget it, it's okay anyway, let's go to the port and have a look.
