After a day and a night, the group returned to the city in the evening of the next day.

Yan Ji was waiting at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion early, although Li Xiao had already passed the news that he would come back later, but Yan Ji was still a little worried. It wasn't until she saw Li Xiao's figure gradually become clear that she was completely relieved.

"Xiaoji, we're back." Li Xiao saw the familiar figure at the door, and hurriedly greeted him and said.

Yan Ji nodded at Li Xiao and greeted the old King Qin: "Uncle Qin, it's been a hard work, is it going well along the way?"

"Xiaoji, I'm worried about you, we're all fine." Old King Qin said with a smile, and looked at Yan Ji's stomach again. "Xiaojiao, you are not in good health now, go in and rest, don't get tired."

"Okay, Uncle Qin." Yan Ji said obediently.

At this time, Yan Ji looked at the two strangers behind Li Xiao and thought that this was the villager of Liujia Village.

"Xiaomin has seen the Ninth Princess." Liu Erqiang and Liu Huya have never seen such a noble and beautiful woman, even if they are already pregnant, but her temperament is still dazzling. Seeing Yan Ji coming over, the two hurriedly knelt down to say goodbye.

"The two brothers don't have to be polite, get up quickly. Since you have come to Dongli City, you don't have to treat me as a princess, just call me the lord of the city just like the people of Dongli City. Yan Ji said with a smile.

"Yes, City Lord." The two of them sighed with emotion in their hearts, and they both said that hearing is false and seeing is believing, and now that they see the city lord of Dongli himself, she can really give people an innate sense of trust. This feeling is not coercion, but willing surrender.

"Amu, take the two brothers down to rest, and entertain them." Li Xiao turned to Amu and commanded.

Amu nodded and left with Liu Erqiang and Liu Huya.

The old fairy also came out at this time: "What are you doing standing at the door, come in."

"Old fairy." The old Qin King was also very happy to see the old immortals, after all, the young people had their own things to do, and the two old men were more talkative.

"Haha, His Royal Highness King Qin, please come in, I've been waiting for you for a long time, and the tea is almost cold." The old fairy said with a smile.

"Haha, I'm not here already." Old King Qin also said with a smile, and the two entered the courtyard together.

"Let's go, Xiaoji, let's go in too." Li Xiao took Yan Ji's hand and said.

Yan Ji obediently let Li Xiao lead, only by his side, she was the most at ease.

A few people came to the house, Li Xiao and Lao Qin Wang told what happened on the road, and everyone wanted to hear what Yan Ji meant.

"The current situation in Nanli City is very difficult for the people to think about. It is not difficult for us to build a factory, and it is not difficult to solve the problem of food and clothing in Liujia Village. But what can we do to solve the fundamental problem of Nanli City? Yan Ji asked.

"This is exactly what Uncle Qin and I are thinking about." Li Xiao said and looked at the old King Qin.

"The old part of the south leaves the city, and sooner or later the people will be dragged to death." The old Qin King nodded and said, "It's better to go and talk to their city lord and see if you can let them merge into the city to get rid of future troubles."

"I'm afraid the attitude of the old department of Nanli City towards us is not optimistic, even if the people are willing to submit to us, I am afraid that those in power will not be so easy to submit, and there will be another war." Yan Ji said worriedly.

"This is also what I'm worried about, so I said, it's better to build a factory in Liujia Village first, and then let Liu Erqiang and Liu Huya secretly gather more people to join in, as long as the more people who support us, the better the chance of recovering Nanli City." Li Xiao said.

"Now I can only take one step at a time, so let's do it first!" Yan Ji said.

"So what kind of factory are we going to build?" Li Xiao asked again.

"Naturally, grain and warehouses can't be placed on other people's land, so it's better to open a dyeing workshop, which is purely manual work, requires a lot of people, and is easier to manage." Yan Ji proposed.

"Dyehouse? This is good. The old fairy nodded, and now the granddaughter-in-law is right for everything.

"Okay, then it's decided, and I'll take care of the rest." Li Xiao said.

Everyone discussed some details before going to dinner.
