Chapter 40: Old Things
At first, everything went well, and Li Ningshuang and her brother made a lot of money in Dalan.
Gradually, he gained a foothold in Dalan, and as long as the businessmen who came to Dalan from Bishui, most of them would go to Li's side to say hello.
Li Ningshuang's brother and sister are not only businessmen in Dalan, but also like diplomats who connect the two countries.
Kyoto in Daran is located inland, with four distinct seasons and a pleasant climate, which is completely different from the clear water scenery along the coast.
Li Ningshuang's elder brother, also known as Wanwan's uncle, plans to settle in Kyoto and move part of the family's business to Daran Lai.
The variable is a ruthless job of Bi Shui, which was targeted by Dalan.
Because of the long coastline of clear water, the equipment of the navy army is very advanced.
Merchant ships traveling through the strait had to be protected from pirate attacks, and were often escorted by a fleet.
Most of the ships were equipped with firearms and guns, which is understandable.
Besides, the ships of the clear water are not only protecting their own merchant ships, but the merchants of Dalan have also benefited a lot.
But in the era of cold weapons, it is impossible for people who have seen the power of overheated weapons not to want to have them.
Even if the people of Bishui have no intention of fighting at all and just want to make money, Dalan still sees those as a threat.
If you can't have it, you have to destroy it as much as you can.
From the point of view of those in charge, this is a wise decision.
After all, it is a matter of national security, and the heart of guarding against others is indispensable.
There are many ways to get recipes, they can be negotiated, they can be bought and sold, and they can even be exchanged.
Da Lan used the most unwise one, hard robbery.
From the beginning of asking Bishui for the recipe for the firearm, there was constant friction between the two sides.
can't fight other people's water army, and can't fight the other side.
I want to torture the Bishui people who are stranded in Dalan.
Confiscate, confiscate, whatever your status, will be treated as the lowest pariah.
Since then, the two countries have closed their ports and terminals, and they have not been able to reopen trade in a regular manner.
The good things that are abundant in the blue water have to go around the boss in a circle to reach Dalan.
Those Bishui people who were implicated and still stayed in Dalan could not integrate into Dalan and live the life of ordinary people, and they could not return to their hometown safely and smoothly.
So most of them gather together to live, take care of each other, and help each other.
The reason why it was so unreasonable and chaotic was because there was also a turmoil in the Dalan court at that time.
The deposed prince fell in love with a foreign woman at that time, and vowed to have a couple for the rest of his life, even if he succeeded to the throne in the future, he would not marry another woman in order to consolidate the imperial power.
The old emperor was furious, and in a fit of anger, he abolished his crown prince, cut off his reward, and directly sent people to the northern border.
Since then, the old emperor's health has deteriorated, and when he lost his breath and was about to recall the crown prince, he suddenly fell seriously ill and died.
At that time, the war in the north was fierce, and the prince had no time to separate, and the only one who could preside over the overall situation in Kyoto was the prince's own brother, the current saint.
Everyone thought that the prince was so good, and his younger brother, who was the prince's mother's compatriot, would not be far behind.
Unexpectedly, he had no intention of recalling the crown prince, and succeeded to the throne at a gallop.
The first thing he did after ascending the throne was to clear the princelings in the court.
In order to set an example for chickens and monkeys, in just a few years, the clans of Kyoto City for hundreds of years were uprooted.
Huaiyu's maiden Xiahou Mansion is also among them.
Because Huaiyu's grandfather, as the teacher of the two brothers, only supported the crown prince, but did not support the new emperor, he suffered the disaster of extermination.
The liquidation of the Bishui people was ruthless and fast, and Li Ningshuang's family was not spared.
And because of Li's reputation in Dalan, Li Ningshuang's brother was also imprisoned.
They are considered to be the royal relatives and nobles in Bishui, but now they are in Dalan, the port is closed, diplomatic relations are severed, and they can't even send a letter to the family, and they can't use their strength.
Jiang Huai, who was not the left minister, pressed the right treasure, he was originally the companion of the two brothers, and now he is the new emperor's knife.
He had long been greedy for the wealth of Bishui Li's family, but now that he had the opportunity, how could he let it go easily.
If it is confiscated according to the rules, all the money will go to the new emperor's treasury.
The only way to get a piece of the pie is for him to marry Li Ningshuang and let Li Ningshuang bring the family property into the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Jiang Huai showed talent, looked like a dog, and stretched out his hand to Li Ningshuang, who was in a desperate situation.
It didn't take much effort at all, so Li Ningshuang married into the Prime Minister's Mansion with the family property.
At that time, Li Ningshuang probably loved Jiang Huai, otherwise it would not have been possible to give birth to a pair of children for him.
Under Jiang Huai's operation, Li Ningshuang's brother was released back to Bishui.
Since then, Li Ningshuang has lost a single relative in Kyoto.
After she slowly discovered Jiang Huai's true face, the property she brought into the Prime Minister's Mansion had almost been looted by Jiang Huai.
has no value, and Jiang Huai is not treating Li Ningshuang as his wife.
Li Ningshuang was already physically and mentally exhausted.
She knew that she would not be able to leave Dalan in her life, but she couldn't tolerate her children growing up around someone like Jiang Huai.
She began to prepare, plan, and win over everyone she could, wanting to send Ruixue and Ryan back to Bishui.
Jiang Huai did not object to Li Ningshuang making money, but after a long time, she found that the money Li Ningshuang earned was not for him.
The spiritual destruction of Li Ningshuang has also intensified.
In the end, Li Ningshuang still failed to fulfill her long-cherished wish, leaving Ruixue and Ryan dead.
Since she was born, Wanwan has been by Li Ningshuang's side, nurtured and taught by her, and is very sensitive to making money and doing business.
When Li Ningshuang died, she was already sensible, knew her mother's wishes, and had been working hard for it.
Eighteen miles is actually a refugee camp.
When the Bishui people were liquidated, the Li family took out the barren beach that was ready to build a factory.
Hire the displaced people to build dikes, so that they can have a place to stay and something to eat.
Later, the displaced people gathered more and more, and they built houses in the vicinity, did some small business to make a living, and gradually developed into a small town.
Before Li Ningshuang died, she made a deal with the old lady and gave all the ten shops on West Street to the old lady.
I just begged her to keep the 1,000 acres of land deed for Rui Xue, and then hand it over to her when Rui Xue can stand on her own.
The old lady and Jiang Huai were not mother and son, and she knew what she had raised.
For the sake of her own daughter and the orphans left behind by her son, she needs this money very much.
agreed to Li Ningshuang, and the title deed failed to fall into Jiang Huai's hands.
After Li Ningshuang's death, Jiang Huai used the means to take over the governance and management rights of Shibalipu, but that piece of land was never his.
He was hell-bent on the title deed and the capable people who worked for Li Ningshuang.
didn't dare to attack the old lady, so when Rui Xue came back, he tortured Huaiyu and asked Huaiyu to cheat Rui Xue of the title deed and body deed.
But Huaiyu also has her own plans, although she has a handle in Jiang Huai's hand, she is not a person who doesn't understand anything.
Jiang Huai can threaten her, and she can also use this to exchange with Jiang Huai and negotiate conditions.
She knew that Jiang Huai was very generous to what she wanted.
Although this is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger, she still wants to try.
So far, things are still in Ruixue's hands.
