As soon as the guests attending the wedding banquet began to leave the manor one after another, as the main family, Li Yang was busy sending the guests away while accompanying the guests to drink, and he found that many of the guests who came today did not know or even saw them, but these guests were very familiar with him, and when they left, they also bowed their hands to him, "Li family master, then we will go back first, if there is a place where we can help, you will squeak"

The guests who came to support the Li family today, regardless of whether they are capable or not, as long as they can come, they will give us three points of thin noodles for the Li family, and the etiquette must be treated equally, Li Yang bowed to the departing guests outside the manor to show his gratitude, "If there is a place where you are not well greeted, I hope you Haihan, if there is a place where Li can help, Li will do his best"

To say that the third wife married a daughter-in-law and the happiest in the whole family belongs to the mother, the old lady never dreamed that the third child could marry such a beautiful daughter-in-law as Du Chalan, just from the old lady's look at Du Chalan's expression, I know that the mother is quite satisfied with Du Chalan's daughter-in-law, and now the old lady's biggest expectation is that the little couple can add Ding Jiawa to the Li family as soon as possible, and the Li family Ding Xingwang is also the mother's greatest wish

Although happy, but the mother's face did show a little tiredness, the mother on crutches on the head, Mimi eyes - about to fall asleep, in order to do a good job in the third marriage these days the mother has not been less tired, Li Yang looked around and saw that the guests were almost gone, the rest of the guests are their own brothers, as for when the wine will be drunk, no one can say

So he came to the old lady's side and lowered his voice: The ladies and guests are almost gone, and the rest are their own brothers and clansmen, why don't you go back to the house to rest for a while, and I will go over to greet you when the brain hole room is in the evening

The mother glanced outside the house and saw that the guests were almost gone: the mother went back to the house and squinted for a while, you go and greet those distinguished guests, people come all the way to cheer us on, let's not slack off others

Li Yang: Mother, don't worry, the children will greet them well

After speaking, he looked at Xiaozhou-Xiaozhuang sisters, "Xiaozhou-Xiaozhuang, you two help the old lady to go back to the house to rest for a while" After hearing this, Du Chalan, who was sitting on the side, quickly got up and stretched out her hands to support the old lady's arm, "Mother-let the daughter-in-law help you go back"

The mother was so relieved that she touched Du Chalan's forehead with her hand: Okay-Lan'er is really sensible, and my mother will give you a gift in a while

Du Chalan smiled and responded: Thank you, mother

Seeing this, Song Shiting pouted and sparked with the old lady: Mother, you have a new daughter-in-law, so you forgot about me and Sister Hengyan

The old lady was happy when she heard it, and she took Song Shiting's hand: How could the stupid child forget about you two sisters, my mother also prepared a gift for you and Hengyan, and Xiaozhou-Xiaozhuang also have them

In this way, the three daughters-in-law coaxed the old lady with laughter, and Li Yang rolled up his sleeves and gave himself three bowls of wine, which were for the leaders of Mengang and his son, and the leaders of Manjiang, thank them for coming to cheer for the third child of my family, their arrival undoubtedly made the Li family manor flourish, and I saw him pick up the wine bowl "Gu Dong - Gu Dong" and dry three bowls of liquor in one breath

Seeing this, Meng Ang slapped his hands vigorously: Okay-Master Li, you are really massive, the old man sees that you are a person of temperament, and if you need the old man's help in the future, don't be polite to me, the old man will do his best to help

Li Yang: Like General Meng, if there is a place where you can be busy, I will never shirk your words

Meng Ang waved his hand to the people present, and everyone filled up the wine: Today is a happy day, the old man proposed that we all do one together, I didn't expect the old man to make friends with all the heroes in the New Year, it was really a wish

Gao Yuan: Thanks to the general's affirmation of our brothers, we got drunk that day

Yuankui: Yes - let's go together

After a few rounds of drinking, the strength of the wine came up, and the tongue became bigger and choked, Li Yang stood up and held the table with his hand: King Achalan has been a family since he entered the shelf, you are older than me, and I would like to respect you as a brother in the future

Ah Cha muttered and raised his hand and patted his thigh: Okay-today is a big day, I don't think it's better to be happy, if the virtuous brother doesn't abandon me, I would like to worship with you and the high commander-Yuan commander as a brother with a different surname, I don't know what you think

Gao Yuan: Okay

Yuan Kui: From now on, tens of thousands of people in the north will be like a family with the Manjiang tribe

Li Yang: It's all about this, so let's burn yellow paper and cut off the head of the chicken and make an alliance with blood

Ah Cha stood up: Okay-just what I wanted

This scene made Meng Ang stunned: Alas-alas, I said what are you doing here, you are not an old man, or do you take the old man seriously, how can you have to worship the old man

Hai Thunderbolt Longchuan also echoed: General Meng is right, if you want to pay a respect, there must be a few of us

Li Yang: Okay, then let's bow together

In this way, Mengang-Achalan-Hai Thunderbolt Longchuan-Zhao Shoubei-Quan-Su Shoubei-Li Yang-Gaoyuan-Yuankui, nine people burned yellow paper and cut off the head of the chicken in the Li family manor to worship as brothers of the opposite sex, and the Meng family headed by Meng Ang, the Li family headed by Li Yang-Gaoyuan-Yuankui, and the Manjiang tribes headed by Achalan formed a three-family alliance, and since then the three families have been rich and noble-sharing hardships-not one family-but like a family

Meng Ang is the oldest of the nine in his early fifties, and his official position is also the highest among the nine and he is respected as the eldest brother, Hai Thunderbolt Longchuan is the second brother, Ah Chalan is the third brother, Zhao Shoubei is the fourth brother - the fifth in the whole garrison - Su Shoubei is the sixth - Li Yang is the seventh - the plateau is the eighth - Yuan Kui is the ninth, because among the nine, Li Yang is the shortest and the thinner

Meng Ang made a joke with him, and casually shouted out a sentence of Li Xiaoshelf, and since then Li Yang has a nickname Li Xiaoshelf among the brothers - some call him Seven Little Shelf, although he is very unhappy but he can't say it yet, or it will seem that he is too stingy, so Li Yang also gave Meng Ang a nickname - Deng Boss, which means that he is scolding Meng Ang Lao B

After the nine people finished worshipping, the strength of the wine at this time also began to rise, and the words and demeanor of the brothers also became five-horse spears, Meng Ang was so drunk that he couldn't even walk, and his mouth was still shouting, "I didn't drink too much - let's continue to drink" Ah Cha Mo was the same, and Meng Ang was not much stronger, and he didn't plan to leave today, so Li Yangchang told the family to arrange a place for Meng Ang's father and son and Ah Cha Lan and others to live in front of his big tongue

Meng Ang leaned on Meng Ying's shoulder and pointed at me: "I didn't drink too much, I didn't drink too much

Ah Cha murmured under Sanji's support, rolled his eyes and panted: Big brother - second brother - seventh brother - I can't drink too much, wait for me to take a nap for a while, let's continue to drink

And Li Yang looked at him with the support of Gao Yuankui: Ah-hmm

Long Chuan saw that he was drunk like this, so what else did he drink, so he left the manor with Zhao Shoubei - Quan Shoubei - Su Shoubei, Gao Yuan and Yuan Kui were going to send Li Yang back to the house, but he did muttered on the road "Council Hall-Council Room" so the two of them made his consciousness and helped him to the conference hall, as soon as he entered the conference hall, Li Yang opened his eyes and kept his body, and then he came to the main chair and sat down

Gao Yuan's eyes widened slightly, and his face showed a hint of surprise: You didn't drink too much

Li Yang: I drank more wine at this time, and it was more than 2 catties in the sky

Yuan Kui: You didn't drink too much, what are you doing like this?

Li Yang: Don't you think it's a bit too sudden?

Takahara: Well, it was quite sudden

Yuan Kui: I think it's a lot of friends and many paths, and if there are any difficulties in the future, the brothers can also take care of them

Li Yang: That's what I said, but have you ever thought about it, whether Mengang-Acha-Longchuan and our people can get along, especially Meng'ang-Achelan-Longchuan, they didn't have any intersection before, people can afford to worship us, then I can't win the affection of others, if Mengang-Achelan-Longchuan really intends to make friends

Then we have already knocked our heads on the ground and bowed to the handle, and in the future, the brothers will move around normally, if you have no intention of making friends, no one should take it seriously when you are drunk and a nonsense, and there is a step left between each other

Yuan Kui: It's still thoughtful, Gao Yuan and I didn't expect this

Gao Yuan: It's not surprising to say that Brother Long and Achea Mur have been friends with us for several years, and Ah Cha Mur and you are in-laws, but I really didn't expect General Meng to bow to us

Li Yang: Okay, let's not talk about it, if you can get it all together, you can hand it over, and if you can't get by with a large piece of noodles, it's over

After speaking, he called in a family member and asked him to invite Li Song and the third child to the conference hall, and after a while, with a knock on the door, the three of them came to the conference hall together, and as soon as they entered the door, Li Yang beckoned to the three of them, and they sat down beside him

Li Yang: How much money did we collect today?

Li Song took out a list from his arms: 30,000 taels of silver - 586 eggs - 680 duck eggs - 426 goose eggs - 200 cotton cloth - 150 silk - 20,000 catties of rice - 10 pairs of calligraphy and painting - 20 pieces of jade - 300 pieces of fur - 20 ginseng sticks - 10 pairs of deer antler velvet - 120 pieces of ceramics, the boss These are the congratulatory gifts received today

Li Yang: Why did the second child collect so much silver?

Li Song: The brothers of the boss militia pooled 5,000 taels of money

Li Yang: Didn't I say that they should not be allowed to follow the group, it is not easy for the brothers to earn some money to support their families, and tomorrow you will return the 5,000 taels of silver to the brothers

Li Song: Boss, this is a part of the brothers' hearts, isn't it a slap in the face for you to retreat like this?

Gao Yuan: Hongting's second brother is right, this is a part of everyone's heart, so you can take it

Yuan Kui: If you return this silver, you don't accept the love of the brothers, what do you make the brothers think, do you look down on them or what's the matter?

Li Yang looked at the third brother and Du Chalan: The third sister-first sister received these congratulatory gifts today, I will hand them over to your husband and wife, whether it is to build the Manjiang Autonomous Region, or to do business, you husband and wife will look at it and make up their minds

Li Pingping blinked at me with a stunned face, and didn't know what to say, at this time, Du Chalan privately slapped her hand at the third child, and muttered in a low voice, "Why don't you hurry up and thank the eldest brother" The third child reacted to his smile on his face, "Thank you, boss"

Li Yang: It's all a family, thank you, by the way, the second brother, you see how about handing over the business of the Alan Chamber of Commerce in the Manjiang Autonomous Region to the first sister

Li Song: Okay, boss, I have too many things on hand and I'm worried that I don't have a helper, so after that, I will hand over the business of the Alan Chamber of Commerce in Manjiang Autonomous Region to my younger brothers and sisters

Du Chalan's face was happy, and she patted her chest with a confident look: Big brother-second brother, don't worry, I will take care of the business

Li Song: Brother and sister, in a few days, I will take you to familiarize yourself with the business of the Alan Chamber of Commerce

Li Yang: That's it for today, let's go back early after a busy day

Gao Yuan: If you don't sit here, my fatigue will come up

And Meng Ang's father and son arrived in the wing room one by one, the old boy instantly came to the spirit, he made a look at Meng Ying, let him see if anyone was watching outside the house, Meng Ying left the door a small meeting, and when he saw the family leaving, he closed the door

Meng Ying: Dad, you didn't drink too much

Monang: What is this wine, in the early years as a father, he could drink a jar himself

Meng Ying: Dad, you just pretended to be true, and the children believed it

Meng Ang: Ying'er is not the only one who can pretend to be a father, so aren't Li Xiaoshezi and Ah Cha Lan also pretending?

Meng Ying: Dad, I really didn't see it

Monang: You can hide this little trick from me

Meng Ying: Dad, our Meng clan is from a prominent aristocratic background in Zhejiang, why do you suddenly want to worship those common people?

Meng Ang: Ying'er Li Xiaoshuzi is not an ordinary commoner, as far as the 6,000-member militia under his command is concerned, can anyone who wants to get it, without the acquiescence of the official family, his head would have fallen to the ground long ago

Meng Ying: Dad, you mean that the Li family has a certain number of connections in the court

Meng Ang: For his father's official worship of General Sipin, according to the law, he can be in charge of 1,000 private soldiers, and if he can persuade the king to allow the Li family to be in charge of 6,000 private soldiers, this person's ability can be imagined

Meng Ying: Dad is the only one who can have such strength in the court, so it is possible that the Li family has a relationship with someone in the royal family

Meng Ang: Our father and son came this time to repay his personal favor, after all, our father and son were born because he persuaded Ah Cha Lan to keep people under the knife, and the other is to touch the bottom of the Li family by the way, and when he quelled the rebellion of Chang Weiguo, he was very interested in the Li family as a father

If the Li family is really a wealthy family, this will also help our Meng family grow in the future, if the Li family is a group of straw bales, then our father and son will have less contact with them in the future and avoid seeing them, but then again, it is also a blessing to be able to bow to the sea thunderbolt Longchuan-Achelam

Meng Ying: Daddy, I understand

After breakfast the next day, Meng Ang proposed to let Li Yang take him around Alan County, Ah Cha muttered that I had led him around the county before, and when he heard Meng Ang say this, he also shouted for me to take him around, what is improving in Alan County, don't you two just want to touch the bottom of the Li family, then I'll let you know the strength of our Li family in northern Taizhou

Li Yang first brought Meng Ang - Meng Ying - Acha Lan and others to the school field of the militia group, 3,000 Xiang Yong is divided into 30 phalanxes to train on the school field, the village warriors are all shirtless and arms with the command issued by the commander, every move they play is full of power and clean, and the roar of training even the earth is trembling for it, "Huha-Huha-Huha-Huha-Huha-Huha-Huha-Huha-Huha-Huha-Huha-Huha

With the sound of a horn, the front of the school field suddenly rose with dust and smoke, more than 200 cavalrymen were wielding their blades on the school field and galloping on the school field to carry out a rush and kill drill, where the cold light went can be said to be a knife hit, the cavalry immediately turned the horse's head and rushed towards the other side to kill with all his strength, and so on close to the stake after the knife hit where the cold light went

After visiting the militia group, Li Yang took Meng Ang and Ah Cha Lan and others to the foundry workshop, when Meng Ang and Ah Cha Lan entered the foundry workshop, they were shocked by its scale, and what made Meng Ang and Ah Cha Lan even more shocked was that the craftsmen did not shy away from forging knives and casting armor on the bright surface, and those who secretly hid armor above 3 according to the law were punished as conspiracy, which was a big crime of killing the head

The people present looked at the sparks splashed out of the smelting, and a cold sweat suddenly broke out on their foreheads, and the two of them were shocked when Li Yang took them to visit their arsenal again, and the moment the library door opened, they saw that there were thousands of rows of sharp weapons and stacks of brand-new armor, and the expressions on everyone's faces at this time were not only surprised but surprised

When Meng Ang saw this scene, he began to regret swearing with Li Yang in his heart, and he secretly hid thousands of weapons and armor, which was to kill the whole clan, and if he didn't have a good relationship, it would also affect the Meng's family business for nearly a hundred years: Li family master, you are so bold, don't you know that you secretly hide such a large number of armors, and according to the law, you will kill the whole clan

Li Yang not only laughed when he heard this, but also completely blinded Meng Ang, and then Li Yang waved his hand at Li Song: The second brother took out the military merchant token and showed it to the eldest brother and the third brother

Li Song pulled out the military token from his sleeve and looked at Meng Ang and Ah Yuna's eyes, and before the two could see the handwriting on the token, Li Yang gave Li Song a look, and Li Song immediately stuffed the token back into his sleeve when he saw it

Li Yang: The eldest brother and the third brother These weapons and armor are all military assets, so the two brothers don't have to worry about me, if outsiders I categorically will not bring them here, the brothers have to be honest with each other, and bring the eldest brother and the third brother to see these military assets, just to let the two brothers know more about the brothers

Meng Ang breathed a sigh of relief: these weapons and armor of the Seventh Rank were the military resources of that army

Li Yang: Big brother, these ordnance involves military intelligence, so don't be embarrassed for your brother

Meng Ang: It's okay - I'm just asking casually, what other surprises does the seventh brother have to take your eldest brother to see

So Li Yang took a group of people to the coastal fortress, looking at the majestic military fortress, he proudly raised his hand and pointed to the fortress: eldest brother-third brother, this is a coastal fortress built by the brother at a cost of 100,000 taels of silver

Ah Cha Lan: Why is there a water master under Lao Qi's hands?

Li Yang: I can't talk about sailors, I have 1,000 sailors and 25 three-sail warships

At this time, I was confused, the navy coastal defense heavy weapon has always been in charge of the official family, but how can the sailor in Taizhou be run by a common people, Meng Ang, who has been in the officialdom for many years, can not figure out Li Yang for a while, after visiting the coastal fortress, Li Yang took a group of people to the salt field, the sea water in the salt field has been dried crystals, and these crystals are a lot of silver after drying

Meng Ang: It's hard for you to start with private salt

Li Yang: Brother, these salt pans were just a beach two years ago, at that time the villages around here were so poor that they had no last meal, and the officials had no money to solve the problem of food and clothing, and the people in the vicinity could only make their own livelihoods

This salt field is both official salt and private salt, and the annual salt production of the official family accounts for 50% - the Alan Chamber of Commerce accounts for 50%, and if it is counted as silver, it will pay about 10 tens of thousands of taels of silver a year to get the salt tax

Meng Ang's eyes widened: pay more than 100,000 taels of salt tax a year

Li Yang: If you catch up with the good years, you will pay more

Meng Ang stretched out his hands and grabbed Li Yang's arms: Lao Qi can't see it, you don't have a lot of ability, if there is anything in Ningbo Mansion that needs the help of the eldest brother in the future, you just ask

Li Yang: Then I'll thank my eldest brother first

Meng Ang: Xing Lao Qi has seen everything he should see, and Ying'er and I should also go back to Ningbo Mansion, you kid can come to see me as a big brother for a long time

Li Yang: My eldest brother will definitely visit me when I go to Ningbo Mansion

Meng Ang bowed his hand to Acha and Li Yang: The third - the seventh brother said goodbye to his brother

"Big brother has a good trip"

On the way back to Ningbo-Meng Ying: Dad, did you see the token that the head of the Li family took out?

Meng Ang: I just looked at a rough idea, and just when I wanted to take a closer look, I was taken back by the second child of the Li family

Meng Ying: Dad, is it possible that your token is fake?

Monang: Really, I just don't know that the piece in his hand is the token of the army

Meng Ying: Dad, how do you know that the token is real?

Meng Ang: I used to have a piece, and then the prince was worried that these nobles in Zhejiang had to support their own troops, so they took back the tokens of each army, and the military merchant tokens were engraved with the unique ciphertext of the royal family, as far as my father knew, Zhejiang now only had 4 military and commercial tokens, and the people behind the Li family were by no means idle people, this Li Xiaoshezi really had to win him over for his father, and the Meng clan wanted to strengthen him in the future, and he might be able to help a little

Meng Ying: Isn't Grandma going to have a big birthday this year, so it's better to send someone to send him a post and invite him to come to Ningbo for a trip

Meng Ang: Well, that's a good idea, our father and son have gained a lot from coming back to Taizhou
