Chapter 97: Weng Son-in-law

A group of Li clans are always subject to the government, the government is afraid of foreign adults, and Li Fushou, who is dressed in the skin of foreign adults, is in turn subject to the clan, and the three form a perfect chain set, one link after another.

Li Fushou had no choice but to sacrifice the sharp blade of the government, and he really broke through many obstacles, and this experience made him feel so tired and happy.

Sit in a carriage

Li Fushou didn't speak with a cold expression, and the secretary didn't dare to ask, the atmosphere in the carriage was cold to the bone, which made the secretaries feel like pins and needles.

Today's trip to Lijiabao, Li Fushou achieved all the goals, followed the patriarch to worship the ancestors at the New Year ancestor worship ceremony, and showed his face in front of the clansmen.

At that time, at the ancestor worship ceremony, the ancestors were prayed, and the Li Fushou clan was moved to the Red River Valley in Australia to establish another Li clan.

Li Fushou will donate money to repair the ancestral hall, donate to the family science, use the money to subsidize the expenses of the New Year sacrifice ceremony, help the clan move to Australia, and some other matters, which will cost a lot of money.

This is not a big problem, Li Fushou's wealth is far beyond the imagination of the clan, and this money is just a hair plucked for him.

The key is that the performance of this group of clan elders is cold, and the patriarch Li Shouqi played a very bad role in the middle, fanning the yin wind and lighting the ghost fire, and thinking that he had a plan.

This little trick is tantamount to an axe in the eyes of Li Fushou.

But what can he do?

After all, he is a member of the Li clan, and he can't write two Li characters in one stroke, in the era when the concept of nostalgia and clan is the most important, is it really possible to let the imperial court harm his own people?

This is obviously impossible, so in the eyes of uninformed outsiders, Li Fushou's reputation will stink on the street.

Compromise is the only way out.

Li Fushou's depression also stems from this, he exhaled a long breath of depression, his eyes looked at the bleak scene of winter outside the window, and the peasants with patched clothes stopped in the fields to watch, looking yellow and thin.

At this time, it was a spring famine, and it seemed that the villagers were having a hard time!

In the face of the huge and decaying empire and the twilight of the Li family, Li Fushou felt deeply powerless, and became more and more determined in his heart to create an ideal of creating a paradise in Australia, believing that as long as he persevered, he would be able to succeed.

A few days after that

Li Fushou coped with the entertainment of the government, went back and forth between high-ranking families, and finally settled on a family business.

The other party is the daughter of Gu Yanchuan, a famous scholar in Gusu City, named Gu Liuyan, fifteen years old, which is the year of the girl and Lu.

His father, Gu Yanchuan, once served as the prefect of Nanning from Sipin, once an official to the Sipin Honglu Temple, Qing and noble, and then resigned from the government due to the death of his father.

The Gu family, a famous person in Gusu, has produced two important ministers of the imperial court, one is the eldest uncle Gu Yanshan, who is now serving in the imperial history of Liangjiang in the Sipin Metropolitan Inspectorate, with a high and powerful position.

The other is Gu Yanchuan, who is in his 40s and in the prime of life, but he is tired of court disputes and only wants to be a farmer.

Originally, such a high-ranking family with a generation of scholars, the young lady in the family must bind her feet, which is almost a rule.

It can only be blamed on Gu Yanchuan's love for his daughter, and he can't see his daughter who can't be regarded as a baby endure the pain of binding her feet, and she only did it hastily for the first two years, and there is no follow-up.

Who knew that he had caught a golden beetle son-in-law, and the world was wonderful, nothing more than this.

Mountains and forests

Clusters of winter chrysanthemums are in full bloom, three grass huts are surrounded by fences, and the voices of chickens and dogs are heard.

Li Fushou was dressed in a light-colored cardigan coat and soft-soled boots, walking in the forest with a handsome spirit, like a young man who lived outside the world, with the fresh air of being born out of the world.

He walked to the half-man-high fence in front of the hut and stood there, and said respectfully; "Lord Yue, my son-in-law has come to disturb you."

"Come on, come in, come in yourself."

From behind the grass hut, a middle-aged man in a green shirt came out, this person was of medium stature, with a long beard fluttering on his chin, and his hands were covered with mud, and he was holding a brick knife in his hand.

Gu Yanchuan disappliedly put aside the brick knife stained with yellow mud, and a maid had already come up with a copper basin containing warm water, waiting for Gu Yanchuan to wash his hands.

That's when it happened

In the door of the grass house, there was a beautiful face of a little daughter, she was born with bright eyes and teeth, and her skin was like condensation, and she saw Li Fushou, who was standing tall, pushed open the fence door and came in, and a red cloud suddenly flew on her face.

She quickly ran behind Gu Yanchuan, pulled Gu Yanchuan's green shirt with two small white hands, hid behind and glanced at it shyly.

"Yan'er, what are you doing sneaking out again?" Gu Yanchuan was not calm immediately.

This bold girl was Gu Liuyan, she shrank her head and hid behind her father, refusing to show her face again.

Gu Yanchuan was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at him, although he was not old-fashioned, but the etiquette of everyone's ladies was a must.

This is all because he has always indulged in the pearl of his palm, and has developed his daughter's delicate and naughty character.

"Yan'er, you come to meet Li Gongzi, and then go back to the grass hut to stay, you can't come out without the permission of your father, what kind of system is this?"

Gu Yanchuan was angry, Gu Liuyan didn't dare to play anymore, and turned out from behind him in a proper manner, and said; "Liu Yan has seen Li Gongzi here."

"Li Fushou has seen a girl here." Li Fushou smiled, and Gu Liuyan's voice sounded crisp and pleasant to his ears, as crisp as a radish and raw.

After Gu Liuyan's beautiful salute, he turned around and left calmly, but his white cheeks were already red to the roots of his ears, showing his inner unpeace.

Barely walking calmly to the door of the hut, she could not bear it any longer, and ran into it in three steps and two steps like a little rabbit, leaving behind a string of laughter like silver bells.

See this scenario

Gu Yanchuan is also the first two big, but he can't help it, this is all used to it, so he has to pinch his nose and endure it.

"Let's look at the tea."

"Thank you, Lord Yue."

Sitting down in the courtyard in front of the grass house, the maid served tea, and the son-in-law sat opposite each other.

Gu Yanchuan stood up half a head shorter than Li Fushou, sat down and felt much better, and found the feeling of Lord Yuezhang again.

He took a sip of tea and asked lightly; "Fushou, you are an adult, why haven't you taken the word yet?"

"Returning to Lord Yue, Fushou was lost at a young age, and he could only struggle to survive in the world, and he was forced to go overseas to survive, and he did not go to school after formal enlightenment, and there was no teacher to give him words."

Although Li Fushou's confession is plain, only he knows how many ups and downs and difficulties there are.

Gu Yanchuan has served as a county commander to the prefect, and he is an old minister of the Eun Sea who has been a parent official for many years, how can he not understand the suffering of the common people?

I don't know how many lonely young people die on the way every year, and there are also those who struggle to get ahead, but he is the only one who can do well in Western countries like Li Fushou and earn a wealth of gold and silver, and there is no other semicolon.

Based on this alone, it can be determined that Li Fushou is really a dragon and phoenix among people, and the future is unimaginable.

"Well, it's really embarrassing to have experienced so many things at such a young age!" Gu Yanchuan sighed, changed the topic, and talked about Li Fushou's next trip; "It is said that you will leave in a few days, all the way to Europa, I wonder if it is true?"

"That's true, Fushou doesn't dare to hide it from Lord Yue."

Li Fushou puffed up his chest and arched his hand, and replied loudly; "This time, the son-in-law came from Australia, firstly, to move to the Red River Valley for the ancestral tablet of the clan, secondly, to go to England and accept Queen Victoria's title of Viscount of the Red River Valley, and thirdly, to solve his lifelong marriage.

"That's right...... Alas, it is difficult for you to travel around the world at a young age, it can be seen that today's wealth is hard work, which is really not easy. "Gu Yanchuan is an enlightened and knowledgeable official, and the prefect of Nanning has also dealt with Portuguese businessmen during his tenure, and knows that Europa is extremely far away.

But that's all, he doesn't have a clear concept of what country he has experienced, and he only knows that it is many times farther than Tang Seng to learn scriptures.

Gu Yanchuan hesitated and asked; "Virtuous son-in-law, I have asked someone to inquire in the past two days, it is said that the Guangji Hall opened in Tiannan and Haibei is now recruiting people to go to Australia for development, are you so short of people now?"

"Yes, my ranch in Australia was originally 3.3 million acres, and now it has expanded to nearly 30 million acres, and there are many enterprises under it, such as steel mills, coking coal mills, wool mills and other deep processing plants for agricultural and animal husbandry products, which require a lot of manpower." Li Fushou replied in time.

30 million acres?

Gu Yanchuan didn't know how big Li Fushou was before, but when he heard this, he felt a dizziness in his head, and he almost fell to the ground.

He once served as the prefect of Nanning, and in Nanning, a mountainous place with little land, all the cultivated land added up to more than 1.6 million mu, and it was already the largest cultivated land household in the province, and a rural household of more than 50 mu was a landlord.

"Virtuous son-in-law, what you said is true?"

"It's true, during the period of my departure, I am arranging for people to buy land, for which I spend money, and it is expected that when I return, the scale of its ranch will increase by at least about 40%, more than 40 million acres."

"Virtuous son-in-law, do you know how big tens of millions of acres are?"

"Uh...... My lord, when I left, the Red River Valley ranch was about 100 kilometers wide and the coast was about 460 kilometers long, and it should be even larger when I returned. ”

Gu Yanchuan was dumbfounded, he was really frightened by the young man's generosity in front of him, and he felt a little dizzy and couldn't find the north.

"That'...... How long will it take you to travel to Europa? ”

"About half a year."

"So long?" Gu Yanchuan almost jumped out in shock, and with a shake of his hand, most of the tea in the cup spilled; "You have been out for more than half a year, and there is no one to protect the family business, what if there is a rat in the family?"

Gu Yanchuan has experienced a lot of vicissitudes in the world, and he has a deeper understanding of the sinister nature of human nature, and now the family business of the golden beetle son-in-law is also his daughter's family business, so he can't help but care.

Li Fushou is still too young in the end, and he suddenly sprouted, in case he neglected the management of his subordinates, no matter how big the family business was, it would not be enough to lose.

It is necessary to know that there is no truth about flowers.

Thinking of this, he became more and more uneasy in his heart.
