Princess Changle took three letters from Yingluo's hand and handed them to Li Yong with a smile.

"This is a letter sent, one is from Su Dingfang, one is from Wu Steward, and one is from Mama."

Li Yong sat down on the soft collapse, first unfolded the letter that Changle opened and read it, Mama said in detail in the letter, from the beginning of Jin Shengman's labor pains to the birth of the child, no matter how big or small, Li Yong was relieved to see that their mother and son were safe, as for what was written on the letter like a grandfather or something, he smiled, the children who had just been born were very ugly, and it was strange to be able to see that he looked like him, and then Li Yong opened the letter of Steward Wu, he is now most concerned about the situation in Jincheng, Steward Wu mainly reported the development of the firm in Jincheng, The movements of the true bone families, as well as the wind direction of the government and the opposition, etc., Li Yong thought for a while after reading it, but he didn't have a clue, just based on the situation on the letter, he was not sure whether those true bone families were completely private messages or had some secret plans, and then he took out Su Dingfang's letter and unfolded it, Su Dingfang first congratulated and then said that he would try his best to ensure the safety of the little master, and planned to personally rush to Jincheng to visit when the child was full moon, and now Anton's situation has stabilized, It would be good for Su Dingfang to go to Jincheng to deter those true bone families, and the ten days and a half months of work after leaving the Andong Protectorate would not cause any trouble, Li Yong thought about it and wanted to get up and walk towards the bookcase, Cuimo hurriedly followed to lay out the paper and study the ink, Princess Changle smiled.

"The concubine also wrote a letter to Shengman's sister and grandmother, and asked Lang Jun to send someone to take it with him when he sent the letter."

Li Yong said with a smile.

"Okay!"

The letter to Su Dingfang is simple, and with his relationship with Su Dingfang, there is no need to be polite, the letter to Jin Shengman is nothing more than to tell her to be more careful and pay more attention, if she feels unsafe, ask for help from the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, and let Su Dingfang send troops to escort them out of Silla, and finally Li Yong also said that he would send a fleet to the Western Regions by sea, if the Queen of Silla or some family members are interested in this, Jin Shengman can also use this to win over some people, and Li Yong does not mind the Silla people getting involved, How can Silla compare with the Tang Dynasty? Even if it is mixed in, it is only followed by a sip of soup, of course, even if it is just a sip of soup, it is an unimaginable wealth for the Silla people, and then it is a letter to Wu Steward, this time Li Yong thought about it for a long time, and also gave him some suggestions in the general direction, after writing the letter, Li Yong sent someone to expedite it to Andong Protectorate, although he was very happy, but Li Yong did not send the happy letter, after all, it was Kim Seungman who gave birth to a child in Silla, which was too far away from the Tang Dynasty, who knew that he had the heart to drink a cup of wine Li Yong was naturally very welcome, But Li Yong doesn't plan to do it with great fanfare, even if Li Yong doesn't publicize it, the news that Princess Silla gave birth to a child is still spreading rapidly, not to mention that Li Jiazhuang and Xishan are celebrating, just Cheng Biting Jin and Wei Chigong's two big mouths don't know how many people are shouting, and the heads of the major families who have just entered the city know the news for the first time, after all, they are now full of Li Yong, and they have been staring at Li Jiazhuang's movements, so when they heard that Princess Silla gave birth to Li Yong, Not to mention how happy they are in their hearts, Li Yong has never had an heir, although now Princess Changle is also pregnant, but who knows if Princess Changle will have a son or a daughter? Therefore, Princess Silla gave birth to her eldest son, Li Yong must be very happy, in fact, the celebratory atmosphere of Li Jiazhuang also proves their guess, Li Yong is indeed very happy, since Li Yong is so happy and in such a good mood, then they will definitely go more smoothly if they negotiate with Li Yong, right? Therefore, the principals of the big families suddenly couldn't sit still, and Cui Zhi, the principal of the Cui family in Qinghe, was the first to prepare congratulatory gifts and come to visit Lijiazhuang with a prayer post.

"Rongfu Jungong, this courtesy, came to Chang'an and was shocked to hear about the Charity Federation, and admired the county prince very much, and heard that the county prince was happy to give birth to his eldest son, so he came to congratulate him, and took the liberty to come to the door, and I hope the county prince will forgive me!"

Cui Zhi, who has always been tall and arrogant, has a very low attitude.

"Cui Lao is polite, Cui Lao is coming to the door, Peng is shining, please inside!"

Li Yong said politely, after a commercial nonsense without nutrition, Cui Zhi smiled at this time.

"In fact, the county prince must have guessed that the old man came to Chang'an this time to go to sea. I heard that the son of Lu Guogong traveled around the world and found a sea route to the Western Regions, and I heard that he handed over the charts and notes to the county prince? ”

Li Yong nodded with a smile.

"That's true, the charts and notes are now in my hands."

Choi Sik said with a smile.

"Then the county prince will definitely organize a fleet to go to the Western Regions, right? The old man is also very interested in the Western Regions, and I wonder if he can go to the Western Regions with the fleet of the county prince? I heard that the Western Regions are vast and full of countries, and our ships can take care of it more. ”

After finishing speaking, Cui Zhi kept staring at Li Yong, although his face was still very calm, but he was actually quite nervous in his heart, Li Yong nodded with a smile.

"Yes! In fact, I want to start a maritime trade association, as long as people who are interested in going to sea can join in, everyone can share information and help each other. ”

Cui Zhi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Li Yong to agree so happily, and he also wanted to share news and help each other, this promise was too happy, right? And also share information to help each other, there is such a good thing in the world? I always feel a little unsure! Choi Sik asked with a deep groan.

"What the hell is this trade association ......?"

Li Yong explained with a smile.

"The trade association is definitely a good thing for everyone, it can also mediate everyone's disputes, it can regulate the price of goods, of course, the most important thing is to protect everyone's safety, once the maritime trade is prosperous, it will inevitably produce a lot of pirates, and the trade association can fight piracy, escort the fleet, of course, the association will also have some constraints on everyone, but in the final analysis, it is for everyone's good, so that everyone can have a healthy competition."

And the constraints? Knowing that it was not that simple, Cui Zhi asked suspiciously.

"Then is this trade association the yamen of the imperial court?"

These families are still relatively taboo to the imperial court, and he always feels as if this matter is not so simple, Li Yong waved his hand and smiled.

"No, it has nothing to do with the imperial court, this is what I set up myself, although I am the president of the association, I will still nominate two vice presidents and several directors to manage the association together, and the association itself is a relatively loose organization."

Hearing Li Yong say that this is not the yamen of the imperial court, but the organization that Li Yong himself built, Cui Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, he also understood that although such an organization can have some constraints on everyone, it is also destined to be a relatively loose organization, because everyone will definitely have their own thoughts, and it is undeniable that there is such an organization that is indeed beneficial to everyone, just escorting this item has a great attraction, as Li Yong said, once the maritime trade rises, it must produce a lot of pirates, And the warship equipped with artillery is absolutely invincible on the sea, and more importantly, is there any other choice? Just as Cui Zhi was pondering, Li Yong smiled.

"Of course, this is not mandatory, it is purely voluntary, even if you do not join the maritime trade association, you can go to sea, I will put the notes and charts of this voyage in the library, and publish them to the world, and anyone in the world who wants to go to sea can come and copy the charts and notes of this voyage."

Cui Zhi was stunned when he heard this, they had been thinking hard about how to get the charts and notes of this voyage since they entered Chang'an, but in the end the charts and notes fell into Li Yong's hands, they were actually desperate in their hearts, and felt that it was impossible to get the charts and notes from Li Yong's hands anyway, at most they could go to sea with Li Yong's fleet, but they didn't expect that Li Yong actually said that he would put the notes and charts in the library and publish them to the world, conspiracy! There is definitely a conspiracy! This was Cui Zhi's first reaction when he heard it, the notes and charts of this voyage were so precious, how could Li Yong be released to the world? There must be some conspiracy in this! Surely these charts and notes are fake? Li Yong didn't want to kill all the people who didn't join the Maritime Trade Association at sea? In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Cui Zhi's heart, and he asked thoughtfully.

"Did the county prince's fleet also go to the Western Regions according to the charts and notes?"

Li Yong explained with a smile.

"My fleet is personally led by Cheng Chusi to go to sea this time, and it will be safer."

Nonsense, those charts and notes can't compare to Cheng Zhihei personally leading the way, Cheng Zhiji is the real living map! What if Cheng Chuhei makes a clerical error when drawing charts and taking notes? Even if Cheng didn't make a mistake, what if Li Yong made changes to the charts and notes? Choi Sik said with a smile.

"Our Qinghe Cui family has always admired the county prince's personality, and naturally we want to share weal and woe with the county prince, so we are willing to join the Maritime Trade Association and go to the Western Regions with the county prince's fleet!"

Li Yong said with a smile.

"There are also conditions for joining the Maritime Trade Association."

Sure enough, there are conditions, hearing this, Cui Zhi's heart was immediately steady, if Li Yong had no conditions, then he always felt a little hairy in his heart, I don't know what kind of medicine Li Yong sells in the gourd, Cui Zhi said with a smile.

"I don't know what the conditions are for joining the Maritime Trade Association?"

Li Yong said with a smile.

"It's simple, just answer me one question."

Just need to answer one question to join a maritime trade association? Cui Zhi listened to the awe-inspiring in his heart, he already had a hunch, this question is definitely not simple, Cui Zhi asked solemnly,

"I wonder what question the county prince wants to ask?"

Li Yong also restrained his smile and said in a deep voice.

"When my father went south, he was besieged by the people of the rivers and lakes, and the cause was a reward, and my father wanted to know who sent the reward!"

Although he had a hunch for a long time, he felt that this question was already very tricky and difficult to answer, and now when he heard Li Yong's question, Cui Zhi had a headache and was about to explode.

"Our Qinghe Cui family has always had nothing to do with the people of the rivers and lakes, and they have not been involved in this matter, nor have they heard any rumors, and when they heard that the county prince was besieged by the people of the rivers and lakes, the old man was also very shocked, I don't know who is so bold, the old man is not deliberately concealing, but really has no clue about it."

Cui Zhi said very sincerely, and Li Yong smiled slightly.

"That's really a pity, but Cui Lao doesn't have to worry, you can go to the library to copy the charts and notes, and according to the charts and notes, maybe the fleet of the Cui family in Qinghe can also reach the Western Regions smoothly."

Cui Zhi hurriedly said.

"The old man didn't mean to hide it, he was really incompetent, couldn't the county prince be accommodating? The county prince can put forward another condition, our Qinghe Cui family is really sincere! ”

Li Yong smiled slightly.

"I'm really sorry about this, at present, the Maritime Trade Association is still in the grass-roots period, and I can only have the final say on who joins to become a veteran, maybe there will be a mix of dragons and snakes in the future, but at least for now I still hope that the Maritime Trade Association can be pure, that is, everyone works together to develop overseas and make a fortune together, so, I'm sorry, of course, if the Qinghe Cui family wants to join in the future, maybe there will be a chance!"

The more Cui Zhi listened, the more frowning his brows became, Li Yong established this maritime trade association, there is no doubt that many families will join, these people will work together to develop overseas, who can compete with them? As Li Yong said, of course, there may be opportunities to join the Maritime Trade Association in the future, but can joining in the future be the same as joining now? If you join the Maritime Trade Association now, you are the elder of the association, and if you join later, what can you do? When grandchildren? Obviously, if he didn't answer this question today, then their Qinghe Cui family would not be able to join the Maritime Trade Association, and they would not be able to go to sea with Li Yong's fleet, the question is, will Li Yong only ask him this question? Obviously not, even if he didn't answer today, would the people from other families answer when they came? What's more, the old boy of the Taiyuan royal family won't have already answered, right? Seeing that Li Yong had plans to serve tea to the guests, Cui Zhi hurriedly said.

"It's not that the old man doesn't want to say it, but the old man is not very sure, but he has heard some rumors, and there is no direct evidence!"

Li Yong is now very sure that the mastermind behind the original release of the reward is someone from the five surnames and seven hopes, but he has never been able to find out who it is, this person is very hidden, and even Wang Jiu'er and Wang Qingyun, the children of the family, don't know who it is.

"What are the rumors? Let's hear it! ”

Li Yong smiled slightly, the children of a family like Wang Qingyun are still in the stage of training outside, and they may not know that they have little contact with some hidden forces in the family, but he doesn't believe that those who are really in power among the five surnames and seven hopes will not know, after all, the five surnames and seven hopes are entangled because of marriage.

"That is, it is rumored that some of the ancestors of the Li family in Zhao County are deeply involved with the people of the rivers and lakes."

Since Cui Zhi has already made a decision in his heart, he no longer hesitates.
