Li Qing sat quietly in the back, smiling at the eyes of the clan elders who were discussing fiercely in front of him from time to time, like a well-behaved beautiful man.

And Li Jingtun on the other side had long since lost the confidence he had just now, with a hint of nervousness on his face.

And the discussion of the elders of the clans did not hide from them, as the elders of the clans continued to discuss, Li Whale's face became more and more ugly.

Although his father and grandfather continued to persuade and lure, the balance of inclination of the elders of the clan was still slowly tilting towards Li Qing's side.

It can't be helped, what he has now is too strong.

Although Li Whale Swallow's force has won a life planet, he is only the third largest shareholder of that team, and Li Qing is the actual controller of the Jialan Legion now.

And the most important thing is that he has one Titan super flagship and two flagships on hand, and at the same time, the dreadnought flagship that is about to be built will also be under his name in the future, so that Li Qing's strength will be very terrifying.

You must know that the highest combat power of the entire Qinghe Li clan is only four Titan Super Flags and three supercarriers, which is the accumulation of more than 300 years of Qinghe Li Clan.

He now owns one, which can be said to have directly improved the status and influence of their house in the entire Qinghe Li family, and this status change will be directly related to their vein's right to speak in the entire family and the dividend of the total family income at the end of the year, which is a real vital interest.

On the one hand, there is a promise that I don't know how many years it will take, and on the other hand, there is the actual status improvement and dividend income that can be obtained immediately, and there is almost no need to consider how to choose.

Without arguing for long, the clan elders had already made a decision.

As the great-grandfather coughed lightly, the room fell silent, his eyes swept over everyone present, and he said in a deep voice:

"Now we will start voting on the support of the two juniors of Li Whale Swallow and Li Qing, and we will vote first, and please raise your hand if you agree to support the two juniors at the same time!"

After speaking, the scene was quiet, and Li Whale subconsciously raised his head to look at the clan elders.

The first to raise their hands were Li Whale's grandfather and father, and then two clan elders who were good friends with them raised their hands in support.

Obviously, they knew that it was impossible for Li Jingtun to get the complete support of the family, so they instead sought common support and shared the support of the family together.

But it's a pity that there are too few people who support it, although they are of the same clan, but everyone is very realistic, in the face of this situation, everyone is to see who can give more benefits to support whom, it is obvious that Li Qing's side will be able to give higher returns in the future.

After about a minute, Great-Grandpa said again:

"Now please put your hands down, there are 5 votes in favor and support together."

"Now that the vote is open, please raise your hand if you agree to do your best to train one of the juniors."

Immediately, half of the clan elders raised their hands in agreement, and then some people raised their hands one after another, and soon reached eleven.

"A total of 11 votes were in favor of fully cultivating one of the juniors."

Great-grandfather counted the votes and continued:

"Now vote, please raise your right hand if you agree to support Li Jingtun, a junior in the clan, and raise your left hand if you agree to support Li Qing, a junior in the clan."

As soon as the words fell, everyone raised their hands.

There is no need to count, just glance at it and you can find most of the left hand.

A minute later, the great-grandfather nodded:

"Then, the results have come out, there are a total of 4 votes in favor of Li Whale, a junior in the clan, and a total of 12 votes in favor of Li Qing, a junior in the clan, and this vote has decided that the family will invest most of its resources in Li Qing next."

"According to the rules, at this stage, it is not yet the fifth year of development, and the restrictions have not been relaxed, so it is impossible to directly support it on a large scale, so you can prepare for it first, and at this stage, we will support it in other ways, such as increasing the purchase ceiling of the battleship blueprint, etc., and when the five-year development time arrives, the restrictions will be slightly relaxed at that time, and then decide what kind of support method."

Great-grandfather looked at Li Qing and said:

"What you need most now, you can make a charter and give it to Xingchun, and we will find a way to support the past in accordance with the rules."

Li Qing clasped his hands together

礼 says:

"Junior thanks!"

He also saluted the elders on the left and right.

Great-grandfather nodded and bowed to him, and said:

"Helping outstanding juniors is the survival of the family gatekeeper, giving support when you are weak, and giving the family back when you grow up, when you have achieved something, the family will also be honored."

Li Qing thanked him again, his bright smile was in stark contrast to Li Whale Swallow, who did not dare to look at him with a sullen face.

Competition is like that, winner takes all.

So far, most of the goal of returning to the family has been completed.

The next step was to discuss some details of the aid and how to do it, and then he discussed it directly with his father, and he relayed it.

Li Qing thought about it for a moment and divided the support into three stages.

The first stage is the next half a year, and there is still more than half a year to the fifth year of Li Qing's development, according to the default rules, the restrictions on pioneers will be slightly relaxed after five years of development.

Not to mention after that, Li Qing's request for most of the year was a full 500 battleship blueprints, and there was nothing else.

But when the five-year period arrives after more than half a year, he will ask his clansmen to prepare a destroyer mother chip for himself.

In fact, you can go and prepare to find it now, and only sell it to him in the form of a transaction after half a year.

It is worth mentioning that the release of restrictions does not mean that money is given directly to materials, that is after ten years there will be no restrictions, and the restrictions released in the fifth year mean that everything can be sold to the pioneers at market prices, and you have the ability to directly take out a batch of battleships, as long as you have that money.

The market price of a standard high-configuration battleship is 75 billion star yuan, and a hundred ships are 7.5 trillion yuan.

As for the finished flagship, the restrictions have not been lifted, but the restrictions on blueprints have been relaxed, and the blueprints can be sold but cannot be directly given to the finished flagship.

As for the second round of support five years later, what is tentatively determined now is the destroyer parent chip, the space fighter parent chip, and the better battleship and flagship parent chip, he didn't mention it, even if the family support wants to get it, it will be enough to choke, so it won't cause them trouble.

Moreover, after the marriage, he is going to go to the isolated galaxy where Lord Senluo is sleeping to dig a grave, Lord Senluo himself is estimated to be out of reach at this stage, but his subordinates heard Qingluan say that he is not in the same place as Lord Senluo, and he can go and take a look to see if he can dig something good.

The inheritance of a Star Sea Lord is so exciting to think about.

Next, Li Qing stayed in this clan for almost half a month, sorted out all the matters related to the marriage of the Yu family, and finally set off again after worshipping his ancestors in advance and returned to Jinmen.

Of course, he doesn't need to operate this kind of thing personally, and even the dowry of the marriage proposal is from the family.

When he returned to Jinmen, he sold all the refined ore with a principal of 10 trillion yuan transported from Qinghe, making a total profit of 13.5 trillion star yuan and 3.5 trillion yuan in blood.

Then he didn't leave, but continued to stay in Jinmen.

Inevitably, there are many dreams at night and there are some demon moths, and after communication between the two parties, they will be engaged within this month.

Wealthy marriages are like this, if it is some important marriages, the preparation time alone will take several months, and some will be longer, because this marriage needs to be announced to other wealthy families, and the more important it is, the more wealthy families must know.

It's not that the other wealthy families want to be recognized, the main purpose of the marriage is the combination of the common interests of the two parties, and the other wealthy families must know that the two of them have joined forces to divide the interests of Zutar, so that no matter which one of the United Empires of Mankind wants to come here to get a piece of the pie, they have to deal with the two of them, and they have to face the two of them at the same time when they want to do anything.

Before that, make a pro-formation and set the facts, so as not to have any demon moths.

For wealthy marriages, there is no difference between betrothal and formal marriage.

It only took a week from the time my father returned to Jinmen to negotiate the engagement date with Yu, to preparing some things needed for the engagement, until the engagement date was determined, and the invitation was sent.

Then it should be that the rituals such as ancestor worship have been completed before coming, and the rest are some routine processes, basically he doesn't need to worry about it, just follow along.

Time passed, and unconsciously came to the day of the engagement banquet, Li Qing dressed in a costume and flew to the engagement place in a decorated luxury flying machine, the ancestral residence of the Yu family in Jinmen.

The engagement ceremony was very grand, but only the Yu clan and the Qinghe Li clan, as well as some big figures from Jinmen, came, and the other families of the United Empire of Mankind did not send anyone over.

The engagement ceremony itself is only a ceremony to confirm the marriage, not a formal wedding.

At the engagement banquet, Li Qing met many upper-class people in Jinmen....

Well, with his current strength and status, he is an upper-class nobleman in the eyes of others.

The engagement is actually just a process, according to the previous teachings of the etiquette officer, Yu Yuefei, who is dressed up and unbelievably beautiful, completes the ceremony under the witness of the elders and relatives and friends of both parties, and the engagement banquet is completed.

There are no waves, and there is no bloody plot.

At the banquet, Li Qing met many core figures of the Yu family, but he also met, and agreed to talk about the affairs of the expeditionary force after the banquet, now is his engagement banquet, which is not suitable to talk about things.

Li Qing didn't stay at the engagement banquet for long, and after completing the ceremony, he led Yu Yuefei out of the banquet hall, and after she changed into casual clothes, she went to the back of the Yu family's ancestral house to meet a big person.

On the way, he took Yu Yuefei's little hand wrapped in silver silk and walked to the antique corridor, and asked in a low voice:

"Does he have any special habits?"

Yu Yuefei, who looked extremely glamorous against the backdrop of luxurious hair accessories, chuckled:

"You're usually so confident, but you also have times when you're nervous?"

Li Qing scratched his head and said:

"How can it be the same as today?"

She covered her mouth and chuckled, and said:

"Great-grandfather is usually very kind, as long as you don't talk nonsense."

"That's fine, I don't talk nonsense."

Tightening the soft little hand in his hand, the two looked at each other and smiled, and continued to move forward.

She led the way to the back of the manor, in a ravine between the mountains behind the manor, from which a small stream flowed, and the clear water of the lake flowed into a huge lake in the manor, and there were many fish in it.

Entering the valley along the gravel road by the stream, it suddenly became clear that there were no flowers, only farmland was cultivated on the side of the stream, and the golden ears of rice swayed in the wind, like golden waves.

On the other side is a vegetable garden, full of all kinds of claw fruits and vegetables, and a figure in sackcloth is wearing a straw hat picking vegetables in the vegetable garden.

At the end of the river, there is a very ordinary earthen house courtyard, there are many domestic chickens and ducks outside the courtyard, and a big yellow dog is lying at the door lazily basking in the sun.

"What an idyllic scene!"

This scene instantly pulled Li Qing's memory back to the earth of the previous era.

I have always heard that the older the people, the more nostalgic they are, and the older the old people in those aristocratic gates, the more they like the things in the last era of the earth.

When Yu Yuefei entered the valley, he let go of his hand and walked towards the field, waving his hand and shouting from afar:

"Grandpa, I'm here."

The old man in the field got up and turned around when he heard the voice, and an old man with white hair and white beard full of wrinkles and extremely tanned skin immediately showed a happy smile on Yu Yuefei's face:

"It's Xiao Yuefei, you're just in time, grandpa picks some vegetables, let's go cook."

After speaking, he saw Li Qing behind him and said:

"Who is this young man?"

Li Qing immediately stepped forward and said loudly:

"Grandpa, my name is Li Qing."

The title of grandfather is an informal title, and it is obviously strange to call grandfather all the time like this, and this situation can be replaced by grandfather.

A smile immediately appeared on the old man's face:

"It turned out to be Xiao Yuefei's husband, you also came just in time, help me pick some vegetables."

"Howler!"

Li Qing immediately stepped forward to lift the vegetable basket, and the old man pointed to one of the vegetable shelves and said:

"You go pick a few cucumbers, a few eggplants, and I'll kill a chicken."

Saying that, he turned around and left, Li Qing watched him leave, turned around and looked at the vegetable field, Yu Yuefei was twisting her white long skirt and picking beans under a bean vine, and the cucumber vine was on the edge.

Li Qing came to her in advance and asked in a low voice:

"How long has Grandpa been living in seclusion here? Grandma is not there?"

She thought about it with her head held high, and said:

"I don't know how long I've been in seclusion, anyway, I heard my dad say that his grandfather has lived in seclusion here since he was a child, and his grandmother is no longer there."

"Oh!"

"Don't, pick the vegetables, wait for you to come over and show off."

"Hmm."

After picking the vegetables a few times, and washing them by the creek by the way, before reaching the small courtyard, the big yellow dog sleeping at the door glanced up at them, and went back to sleep.

Yu Yuefei whispered in his ear:

"Don't underestimate rhubarb, my dad said that rhubarb was like this when he was a child, and it is still like this."

"Hmm!"

Li Qing looked at this unpretentious big yellow dog in surprise, normal dogs can't live for so long, this is definitely a genetically modified dog, not even a dog at all, but some powerful genetic creation.

For this ordinary big yellow dog, he walked over very low-key.

The courtyard is also very earth-like, with an ancient well covered with moss, but what surprised him even more was that he saw a shaking well not far from the ancient well, which was probably used frequently, and the iron handles were polished.

Just as he was looking at the small courtyard in surprise, suddenly the wooden door of the hut on the left opened, and a slender figure that surprised him walked out.
