"This..." The steward knew that this was angry talk, so he just watched as the Great Elder pretended to carry out the order. In fact, he bent down to pick up the papers that flew everywhere, these papers were actually seen by him, but with his understanding, he couldn't help but laugh at the contents of the paper.

The Great Elder looked at the contents of the paper as he scanned the paper, and he was even more angry, snatching a few pieces of paper.

"Stockpiles? Deliberately raise the price in the winter and increase the profit by one percent!

Processing fabrics? The collected raw materials are processed and sold for twice the price!

Earn high shipping costs at no cost!

。。。。。。。。。 What does it mean to let people work and not want to give money?

And this is even more outrageous, the whole house has big fish and meat every day? Do you have to worry about what people eat?

These idiots, the old man wants to see what they can do in the end.

Zhongxian, tell me, are they full of food? The Great Elder slapped the few pieces of paper in his hand onto the table.

"The old slave doesn't dare to speak falsely!"

"Could it be related to Li Xiaofeng? But the kid was only nine years old! These idiots know how to plan ahead in such a place? ”

"Report!" At this time, a doorman ran to the door of the hall and relieved the steward, otherwise the steward would dare to talk to the Great Elder about such a sensitive topic. Even if you want to talk, you have to find a place to talk alone, even if a random guard here says what he is about to say and spreads it, I am afraid that his juniors will have to learn from Li Xiaofeng in a few days to kneel at the stone gate of the archway.

"When?" The steward cleaned up his mood and cleared his throat.

"After Li Xiaoxi said a few words to Li Xiaofeng when he passed by the archway just now, he is now kneeling under the archway with Li Xiaofeng, and it has been two quarters of an hour."

"Oh, this little girl, why are you running here to make trouble at this time. Go and bring her to me."

As soon as the doorman turned around to leave, the Great Elder added, "Bring Li Xiaofeng over as well."

A short time later, the doorman came to the door of the hall with two children who had come hand in hand.

"Great Elder" Li Xiaoxi first glanced at the fact that there were no outsiders in the hall, and then plunged into the arms of the Great Elder, and gave the Great Elder a bite in his face.

"What did Xiaoxi just eat, why is it slimy." The Great Elder pretended to blame Li Xiaoxi while wiping the saliva on his face.

"Watermelon" Li Xiaoxi pursed her lower lips, a little aggrieved.

The Great Elder saw that the little lip flap was redder than the watermelon pulp, and it was very cute, and he happily tightened the stream in front of him. Seeing the bruises on Li Xiaoxi's knees, he was instantly so distressed that he couldn't speak.

Li Xiaoxi saw that the Great Elder suddenly stopped speaking and stared at his knees. So he bent down and raised his legs, staring at his knees himself. After watching it for a while, it was just a silly "hey, hey, hey" laugh. The Great Elder was about to say something in disgust, but was "poofed" on the face by the little girl. So he motioned to the steward to hurry up and send some bone-setting medicine, and then personally gave Li Xiaoxi the medicine. During this period, Li Xiaoxi wanted to run away several times, but every time he saw the eyes of the Great Elder blaming himself, he would take the initiative to comfort the Great Elder.

"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt, it's good to be good when you apply the medicine."

Li Xiaofeng watched quietly below, without disturbing the grandfather and grandson. However, as soon as the Great Elder put the bottle on the table, Li Xiaoxi jumped down.

"Okay, Grandpa Elder, Brother Xiaofeng has something very important to look for you, so I'll leave first." After saying that, he turned around and ran.

"Slow down." Reluctantly looking at Li Xiaoxi, who was running away with a smoke, the Great Elder retracted his mind and looked at Li Xiaofeng.

"Say, I'm really curious, what are you going to say."

"My family is willing to give up all the current business and just want to change my father's life."

"Boy, that's what you want to say? It seems that I look down on you, and now what can save your father's life is how to pay the fine. ”

"Great Elder, the kid has no offense. All commodities and money, all ledger recipes, except for our family's lives, can be handed over. ”

"Huh, no offense? I want to hear no offense. ”

"As long as we give our family a condition to continue living, we are willing to continue to serve the city's businesses for the next five years. Until the successors of the major families are able to run the projects they have taken over on their own. ”

"Five years? Hehe, after five years of being so confident, you can sit in the position of a guard? ”

The Great Elder stared at Li Xiaofeng, who was still a child, for a while, and saw in the child's eyes a maturity that should not belong to him.

"Okay, I promised."

"Thank you, Great Elder."

"I don't understand why Li Xiaoxi likes you so much with a personality so different from hers. A child should be like a child. ”

"The Great Elder has praised it!" Li Xiaofeng gave up

"Hey, Li Xiaofeng. You are a genius, many people like geniuses, and many people are jealous of geniuses. And the old man, I don't have any opinion on genius, but I just don't like you. You don't have to make me like it, because it doesn't matter. ”

The Great Elder wanted to find some expression on Li Xiaofeng's face, but in the end he was disappointed.

"Go back, Fuxiang Restaurant is still your family's, it is your family's ancestral business. Your grandfather promised that all the drinks for the banquet in the council hall would be covered by Fuxiang Restaurant, and no one dared to ask for this hot potato. ”

"Thank you, Great Elder," Li Xiaofeng bowed again.

Three days later, when the case was finally closed, an old elder was suddenly involved. The defendant Li Jinming "made inappropriate profits, which led to the deficit of the city's treasury and silver, and affected the interests of the guardian party and the whole people" became the person in charge of taxation, and the elders of the sheep discipline the juniors in the mansion had no way to privately embezzle the taxes of the guardian city. businessman Li Jinming did not report it and confiscated all property except Fuxiang Restaurant; Elder Yang directly removed him from the position of elder.

Originally, this incident had nothing to do with Li Xiaoxi, but the rumors in the market didn't matter what was the truth. In order to make things gimmicky enough, of course, they have to buckle the turning point of the matter on Li Xiaoxi, who has not completely disappeared from the heat. If it is placed now, it will inevitably be titled "Shocked, a two-year-old girl will make the unsolved case for half a year come out in three sentences", if it is a marketing video number, the first sentence must be "Pay attention, this two-year-old girl can easily bring down the two major forces within a year".

The last thing, the Great Elder went out of the customs ahead of schedule on Li Xiaoxi's third birthday. Not only did he personally go to Li Xiaoxi's mansion in the outer city to congratulate, but he also announced the good news that he had successfully built the foundation at the banquet. and carried Li Xiaoxi on his second flight after building the foundation. On that day, in the city, on the city wall, and outside the city wall, the laughter of Li Xiaoxi and the Great Elder could be heard in the sky.

For the first time, Li Xiaoxi looked from the air at the place where she had lived for three years.

It wasn't until that moment that she realized that the layout of the streets and alleys where she usually ran turned out to be a semicircle by the river. It is built in a semicircular radial shape from the central council hall. Xiaoxi didn't expect that the council hall was nothing special from the sky except for the big one, and between the council hall and the river was a stone field the size of a football field, connected to a suspension bridge that could lead to the opposite bank. It is said that this is the bridge that communicates the two sides every eleven years, and usually only two large logs can be seen on both sides of the river, and no one can guess that it is a suspension bridge that can be assembled in a quarter of an hour or two without anyone telling you.

As for the scenery on the other side, there was nothing to see, and the Great Elder didn't want to take Li Xiaoxi across the river, and the closer it was to the fog, the more uncomfortable it was, so the Great Elder turned around, flew around the city wall first, and then slowly floated in the air as if leading the creek to visit his own city.

Logs the size of the pillars of the drawbridge were common in the outermost wall construction. The walls are about 10 meters high, and the main building material is wood, the largest of which is used as the main structural support, and then other timbers of different sizes and functions are molded, and finally the walls are compacted with stone clay.

On the inner level, there is a desolate road that runs along the city walls, mainly because it is rarely used in normal times. The Great Elder said that it was a road that was occasionally used by the guardians under the city walls to transport supplies to each other, and it was also the track for the Spring Festival project. There are rows of wooden houses on either side of the gate and at the north and south ends for the Guardians, but most of the time more than half of the Guardians stay on the walls.

Inward, between the city walls and the residential area is farmland and livestock farming. This area is the largest and includes uncultivated or later abandoned land. The area is basically more than three times that of the residential area.

The outermost layer of the residential area is usually inhabited by peasants who depend on agriculture for their subsistence conditions, and in the second circle are artisans of equally low status, including more miscellaneous craftsmen. There were craftsmen, tailors, blacksmiths, singers, merchants, and so on. Further down there are the people of higher status or wealth, and there are already some two- or three-story buildings. They are usually responsible for collecting taxes, opening restaurants, urban management and sanitation, yamen, etc., all of which are on this floor, and this floor is also the most prosperous and lively area. It can be understood as the order of residence of agriculture, industry, commerce, officials, and wealthy families, and it is also the order of status.

After that, there is the final floor where the Guardian House is located. Most of the people on this floor are the guardians of the city-state who have at least 5 members of the family who are on the city walls, or the families of great heroes who have had great military exploits on the city walls for generations. They usually have no worries about food and clothing, and at least one of the elders in the family has a place in the council chamber. It is also the center of the power to protect the city.

Because in consideration of the safety of the families behind the heroes, this floor has a brick and stone wall more than 5 meters high from the outside world, and people are used to call the inner city inside.

There is a 20-meter-wide road from the city gate to the inner city wall, which ends at the stone archway. The torii is engraved with names, all of which are dead guardians. If there are civilians outside the walls, then inside the walls are the magnates. And the name on the stone pillar is a description of the proud life of the wealthy family within the walls.

Li Xiaoxi's father and uncle are both guardians, and it stands to reason that the house is not only a wall away from the inner city. However, if there are one or two men in the younger generations who can be qualified guardians or even guardians, or if his father can make some more achievements with his uncle, Li Xiaoxi will also be likely to become the daughter of a wealthy family in the inner city in the future.

In addition, there is another opportunity in front of him, that is, eleven years later, when the marriage contract time comes, Li Xiaoxi will marry Brother Jian Feng, who is separated by a wall behind the wall. At that time, no matter whether the two families merge into one or not, with a great elder, they can also think of a way to let Li Xiaoxi continue to live a carefree life. But every time the Great Elder thought of this, he was not in a very good mood, and he even preferred Li Xiaoxi to marry the merchant's son.

Li Xiaoxi has been dancing all the way, and he is so happy. After flying back to the courtyard of the house, he still wanted the Great Elder to fly with him for a while, but the Great Elder was actually willing to enjoy the fun of flying in the sky with Li Xiaoxi for a while. But after all, he has just built a foundation, and he is considered to be out of the customs in advance, not only do he need to grasp the stable realm, but there are still a large number of guests waiting to greet him, and he really can't pull away. Li Xiaoxi's father saw that the Great Elder was embarrassed, so he hurriedly stepped forward and hugged her, explaining to Xiaoxi that the Great Elder's grandfather needed to rest for a while. After a while, the eldest elder grandfather is not busy, and he will fly with the stream.

"Okay, Grand Elder Grandpa pull the hook." Li Xiaoxi reluctantly stretched out his little finger.

"Okay, good" The Great Elder seemed to be really tired, and he smiled so much that he even had only one line left in his eyes, and he didn't recover for a long time.

"Aunt Ting has collected a lot of gifts for you, do you want Xiaoxi to open the gifts?" Li Hongming gently pulled Li Xiaoxi towards the outside of the main hall.

"Xiaoxi, happy birthday" As soon as he came to the side hall, Li Xiaofeng saw Li Xiaoxi at first sight. When I looked up, I saw Li Hongming, who was holding Xiaoxi's hand, and hurriedly added: "Li Xiaofeng has seen Uncle Hongming. ”

"Xiaofeng is here, sit casually, Xiaoxi will be handed over to you, I'll go to the main hall to greet the others."

"En" Li Xiaofeng heard Li Hongming's words for some reason, he was a little overwhelmed with joy, and just wanted to respond, Li Hongming had already turned around and left.

"What gift did Brother Xiaofeng prepare for Xiaoxi?" Li Xiaoxi looked at the small box in Li Xiaofeng's hand curiously.

"Would you like to open the creek yourself?"

"Wow, little bird" Li Xiaoxi excitedly took the little bird made of wood, unlike other handicrafts, this little bird's wings are particularly large.

"Does Creek like it? This little bird can fly. ”

"Can fly?"

"yes, let's go to the courtyard, and I'll let it fly for you."

So in the courtyard of Li Xiaoxi's house, everyone was attracted by this flying wooden bird. When the wooden bird flew around and returned to Li Xiaofeng's hands, Li Xiaofeng wanted to gain Li Xiaoxi's worship complacently. As a result, I saw that Li Xiaoxi's face was actually a little more sad than a smile, and he immediately panicked. Hurriedly squatted down and asked Li Xiaoxi what was wrong.

"What happened to the creek? Don't like it? ”

"I like it very much, did Brother Xiaofeng make it himself?" Li Xiaoxi carefully held the wooden bird in his hand, and did not dare to try to throw the wooden bird out for fear of breaking it.

"I don't know when the next time the Great Elder Grandpa will be able to take Xiaoxi to fly"

Li Xiaofeng was silent for a moment, and happily held the wooden bird in Li Xiaoxi's hand

"Xiaoxi, don't be afraid, my brother will teach you." Once again, the audience was shocked that the wooden bird could magically fly in the air for a while and then return to Li Xiaofeng's hands. And Li Xiaofeng, squatting down, handed the wooden bird to Li Xiaoxi again, and said softly:

"Xiaoxi, within eleven years, my brother will take you to fly, fly away, okay?"

"Yes!" Li Xiaoxi nodded heavily, his eyes smiling like crescent moons.
