Just when Wu Yuanqing couldn't help but want to go in, Wu Cao finally walked out.

"Why are you here?"

Wu Cao glanced at him and asked, but she wasn't actually surprised in her heart.

"Sister, I'm waiting for you!"

Wu Yuanqing asked affectionately.

"Okay, no need to send it!"

Wu Cao threw this sentence and immediately stepped forward, he didn't mean to deal with Wu Yuanqing at all, Wu Yuanqing almost didn't freeze there, I didn't want to send you, I haven't finished my words yet!

"Sister, sister! Alas, after my father passed away, I took on the burden of the Guogong Mansion, and I realized how difficult it was for my father. ”

Wu Yuanqing hurriedly followed Wu Cao's side, like a tailed dog.

"It's so difficult for me, I can't sleep at night, thinking all day long about how to revive the family business, and I can't let my father be uneasy under Jiuquan! Sister~"

"Well, Wu Yuanqing, it's not too late for you to start working hard from now!"

Wu Cao obviously didn't eat his set and said lightly, she was always told by Wu Yuanqing about her father, she was almost used to it, Wu Yuanqing sighed.

"I want to work hard! But I didn't have a chance! I didn't have a chance to show it! I don't even have an official position, I don't have an errand, and I don't even have a chance to be excited. ”

"Sister, you know what? I went to Dongshi that day, and even the tax collectors in Dongshi didn't take me as a national prince in their eyes, but I should be a national duke! Not a single little tax collector takes me seriously, but I inherited a title from my father! Daddy's first famous name is ruined like this, sister! How sad you say the father under the nine springs should be! ”

Wu Cao bit her lip and didn't speak, when her father Wu Shi Tong was still alive, Ying Guogong was also a noble family in Chang'an City, Zeng Guan Zhishangshu, deeply respected by the Emperor Taishang and Jinshang, Wu Yuanqing said bitterly, but he never got a response from Wu Cao, which made him a little disappointed.

"Sister, you have to help me! In order for the father under Jiuquan to be blind, for the old lady to enjoy her old age in peace, for the little sister to be able to marry beautifully, and even for the sake of your sister You can gain a firm foothold in the Li family, you must help me. ”

Wu Yuanqing begged hard, Wu Cao sneered and shook his head and said.

"I can't help you!"

"Sister, you can, if you help me again, it will be regarded as me begging you, you are not just helping me! You are helping the entire Guogong Mansion, helping everyone in the Guogong Mansion, and you are also helping yourself, I know, I was sorry for you before, it was my lard blinded, I was a bastard, but now I have woken up, people say that the prodigal son will not change his money, sister, can you give me a chance? ”

Wu Yuanqing pleaded bitterly.

"You are the prince of the country, the general official position is not worthy of the identity of your national prince, but there are so many senior princes in the court, who can you replace? I can't really help you. ”

Wu Cao explained half-truthfully, her analysis does make sense, with Wu Yuanqing's ability, let him be a scholar or a general, he doesn't have that ability at all, and he doesn't have that qualification, but she is not sure if Li Yong can help Wu Yuanqing get an official position, in short, she doesn't want to embarrass Li Yong because of Wu Yuanqing, it's not worth it, Wu Yuanqing felt very disappointed when he heard it, but he also knew that what Wu said made sense, although he didn't have an official position, but Wu Yuanshuang had a martial arts, although the official position was not high, but it was already a good start, It shows that Li Yong has indeed helped, and the matter of official positions will be talked about later, and now Wu Yuanqing's biggest headache is that he has no money, but he found that money is too easy for Li Yong.

"Sister, Huating Hou sent someone to go to sea, and he pulled a whole boatload of spices back, so he will definitely go to sea, right?"

Wu Yuanqing asked with concern, how smart Wu Cao was, he immediately heard what Wu Yuanqing was thinking.

"Perhaps!"

Wu Cao said lightly, and Wu Yuanqing listened to it and said.

"It's not perhaps, it's certain, you can pull a boatload of spices back when you go to sea, and if a fool doesn't go, it's tantamount to picking it up for nothing! Sister! You don't know! Now that our Guogong Mansion is only an empty shell, can you tell your husband to take our Guogong Mansion boat with you when you go to sea again? Not much, just one ship! Anyway, overseas islands are full of spices, and if you don't pick it up, you won't pick it up, and if you don't pick it up, it's rotten, and it's better to cheapen our own family, right? Sister, isn't that the truth? That's not too much, right? ”

Wu Cao asked rhetorically.

"Wu Yuanqing, do you have a boat?"

Wu Yuanqing couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this.

"Isn't it easy to get a boat? Even if you smash the pot and sell iron, I'll get a boat! ”

"If you can get a ship, I'll buy it for a great deal of money."

After Wu Cao finished speaking, he boarded the carriage directly, Wu Yuanqing was stunned for a moment, what does it mean to buy it with a lot of money? I want the boat to go to sea, and you still want to buy my boat? The carriage creaked away from Chang'an City, Wu couldn't help but sigh, what has become of the Guogong Mansion, it is no longer the Guogong Mansion in her memory, if it weren't for her mother, she would never want to go to the Guogong Mansion again for the rest of her life, Zhao Guogong Mansion, the eldest grandson Wuji smiled.

"Your dozens of carts of spices have frightened the entire Chang'an City, and even the old man was stunned when he first heard it."

Li Yong explained with a smile.

"It was just an accident, and I didn't expect Cheng to come across a spice island so coincidentally."

The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile.

"In the past, you always said that overseas wealth is everywhere, but everyone will be skeptical, and now everyone is sure that there will be many people preparing to go to sea."

Li Yong said with a smile.

"That's a good thing, I wish everyone would go to sea!"

The eldest grandson Wuji laughed.

"Aren't you afraid that others will rob your spice island?"

Li Yong shook his head and said.

"Actually, I really didn't take the Spice Island to heart, compared to the vast overseas market, the Spice Island is really nothing, the area of the Tang Dynasty is not small, but it is not big, for thousands of years, everyone is staring, it's time for everyone to open up their horizons, going to sea, for the court, for the wealthy families, for the people are all good things."

The eldest grandson Wuji said seriously.

"Aren't you afraid that the five surnames and seven hopes will take advantage of the situation to sit big? We all started in the north, and we have no foundation in the south of the Yangtze River, even if the saint is also a dragon in Taiyuan, and the roots of the family in the south are deeper, and if you want to go to sea, you must not be able to bypass them! ”

Li Yong said with a smile.

"Although it is said that the five surnames and seven wangs, but the five surnames and seven wangs are not necessarily monolithic, right? Moreover, although the five surnames and seven wangs have roots in the south, there are also many wang families in the south, who can say for sure? Besides, whoever loves to go to sea goes to sea, anyway, I don't even have a sea boat! Whoever wants me to go to sea, let's get me a few ships first. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he heard this, and he still wanted someone to build a sea boat for you? Isn't that shameless? What is the situation of you Li Yong, you and I don't know anything? It's really shameless, but the eldest grandson Wuji also knows that it's really not easy to build a sea ship now, not to mention that the current shipbuilding craftsmen, the materials are in the south, and there is no one in the north, whether it is a craftsman or a family, Li Yong has long been in his hands, the materials for shipbuilding are not to cut down a tree to build a ship, but also to go through a process, not a few years can not be used at all, even if the emperor wants to build a sea ship, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and it will take a few years to build a sea ship on a large scale.

"Even if they give you a few boats, they have more, and in a few years, they will already occupy the market."

Eldest Sun Wuji pretended to ask.

Li Yong raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled.

"The voyage is not so easy, you need to explore, you need to accumulate experience, in the past few years, everyone just crossed the river by feeling the stones, I have always been afraid of who can become bigger, because the biggest must be the imperial court, it must be the sailor, put the artillery on the ship, no matter whose ship has to obey the order, so I think, guide the family to the sea trade, they will be richer, but it is easier to be controlled."

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled like a fox.

"That's right, merchant ships equipped with artillery are invincible at sea, but, Li Yong, do you really want to do this?"

Li Yong also smiled.

"Of course!"

Leaving the Zhao Guogong Mansion, Li Li asked curiously.

"Lang Jun, what are you talking about with your uncle, you have been talking for so long?"

Li Yong turned his head to look at Li Liqing, was silent for a moment, and said calmly.

"It's all about going to sea, your uncle said a lot, and warned me not to go against them."

Li Lizhi frowned and said.

"Hmph, those five surnames and seven hopes, the family has always been a headache for the court, and they often target you Langjun."

Li Yong said leisurely.

"The effect of the spices before was not obvious, but these dozens of carts of spices, but the effect of the unexpected effect is really big, whether it is the Guanlong chaebol or the five surnames and seven wangs, they are all moved, and they are naturally not thinking about it now."

In fact, Li Yong's heart is like a mirror, the eldest grandson Wuji told him so much, to put it bluntly, he is tempted by the sea trade, but the Guanlong chaebol has the right to wealth, but it is located inland, and if he wants to meddle in the sea trade, he naturally has no advantage, the eldest grandson Wuji said so much to him, on the one hand, he is worried that Li Yong will dominate in the sea trade, and he wants to win over Li Yong, Li Lizhi is worried.

"Lang Jun must be very embarrassed now, right?"

Li Yong said with a smile.

"Embarrassed? No, I'm not embarrassed at all, this is exactly what I want to see, I want to develop maritime trade, because this can make Datang richer and stronger, this is my original intention, however, everyone thinks that you Langjun and I am weak, and they all feel that I must rely on a certain party to get a piece of the pie in this feast. ”

Although Li Yong has begun to make a name for himself in the DPRK in the past few years, however, after all, it has only been two years, and his foundation is too shallow, and he can even be in Chang'an, he has no foundation, Li Li said worriedly.

"Lang Jun is not weak, Lang Jun only took five years to create a huge family business, which is a family business that others can't accumulate in several lifetimes."

Li Yong said with a smile.

"What five surnames and seven wangs, what Guanlong chaebol, I can't help but underestimate me, since it is me Li Yong who leads the opening of the sea, it is naturally me Li Yong who eats the big head."

After finishing speaking, Li Yong remembered that Li Lizhen, as a royal person, had a constant connection with the Guanlong chaebol, and he couldn't help laughing.

"Changle, I'm not trying to crack down on the Guanlong chaebol, it's very difficult for the Guanlong chaebol to compete for the five surnames and seven wangs in the sea trade."

Before Li Yong finished speaking, Li Lizhen had already snorted and laughed.

"Everyone is from your Li family, of course it's towards Lang Jun!"

After laughing, Li Lizhi asked with a blink of curiosity.

"What is Lang Jun going to do?"

Li Yong smiled a little smugly.

"Everyone is staring at Chang'an, they are all staring at me, in fact, they have forgotten one person."

Li Lizhi asked confusedly.

"Who?"

Li Yong said with a smile.

"Feng An!"

Feng An? Li Lizhi was stunned for a moment before reacting.

"Geng Guogong?"

Li Yong said with a smile.

"Yes, that's a veritable Lingnan king!"

Feng Ang, is a very unfamiliar name for Li Lizhen, and even for many officials in the court, it is an unfamiliar name, and even, most of the people in Chang'an have never heard of this name, and the carriage gradually drove into Lijiazhuang, and before Li Yong and Li Lizhen returned to the back house, they had already come to report.

"Lord Hou, princess, the prince and young lady of the Taiyuan royal family are visiting."

Li Yong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this.

"Wang Qingyun?"

Li Lizhi raised her eyebrows.

"Wang Jiu'er?"

The focus of the two is completely different, Li Lizhen has not actually seen Wang Jiuer, after all, one of the two is the eldest lady of the family, a princess, and has never appeared on the same occasion, Wang Jiuer did not meet Li Lizhen when she studied in Lijiazhuang, of course, Li Lizhen did not notice Wang Jiuer before, until the white stacked flower turmoil, she did not notice Wang Jiuer, she was very curious about this eldest lady of the family.

"Lang Jun, do you want me to accompany me?"

Li Lizhen smiled, and Li Yong nodded indifferently.

"Okay!"

The two turned around and walked towards the welcome living room, and as soon as they arrived at the welcome living room, they saw Wang Qingyun and Wang Jiu'er coming, Li Lizhen's eyes immediately fixed on Wang Jiu'er, and Wang Jiu'er's eyes were instantly fixed on Li Li'er's body.

"Master Hou, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Wang Qingyun bowed his hand first, and Li Yong smiled.

"It's been a long time."

Li Lizhi smiled slightly.

"I have heard for a long time that Miss Wang is both talented and beautiful, and it is true that she is well-known when she sees it today, which really makes me ashamed of myself."

Wang Jiu'er said with a smile.

"Where is it, Princess Jiuwen is known as the first beauty in Chang'an, and she is well-known when she sees it today, and Hou Ye is really a blessing."

After speaking, Wang Jiu'er looked at Li Yong with her eyes wandering, and said with a slight blessing.

"Master Hou, I haven't seen you for a long time, I've been looking forward to the start of the county school!"

Li Yong smiled and waved his hand and said.

"I'm too busy to start classes! I guess you don't have the heart to come to the class. ”

A trace of regret flashed in Wang Jiu'er's eyes, and she smiled slightly.

"That's a shame!"

Li Li said with a smile.

"Last time the white stacked flower seeds, in fact, I always wanted to say thank you to Miss Wang in person, but Lang Jun was very busy! It's just that Miss Wang didn't accept the reward in the end, which made me very upset! ”

Wang Jiu'er smiled slightly.

"It's just a seed obtained by chance, it's not worth mentioning at all, and I have learned so many novel knowledge from Master Hou, I feel like I can't repay it in my heart! I simply gave it to Hou Ye, besides, I have always admired Hou Ye's righteousness for the well-being of the people. ”
