By the time he left Mali City, Linzi had already gotten what he wanted.

With the support of the two garrison bosses, Lin Qi just went to the Mali City Lord's Mansion for a trip, and with a small stuff of tens of thousands of gold coins, he obtained a construction permit that was almost arbitrary. Linzi has the authority to start construction in the town of Malen in the next three years, and to start construction of a large port in Lake St. Lune near the town of Malus in the next five years.

Of course, according to some legal provisions of the Caesar Empire, all the rights and interests of the port built by Lin Qi belong to the Pink Lily family, but the day-to-day management of this port will be jointly managed by the officials of Mali City and the Pink Lily family. After all, the tax collector of Mali City has to collect taxes on the port, and the garrison department has to carry out daily security maintenance here, etc.

These are trivial things, and Lin Qi doesn't care about them.

In the future, when the town of Malen is almost built, he will transfer Artut or Evil Laugh over, and use their means and strength to ensure that the residents of Mali City and Malen Town will become loyal believers of their sect. At that time, this will be Lin Qi's most stable lair, and no one will be able to interfere with it, or he will not get any practical benefits from meddle in.

As for the general outline of the heavy ship, as long as the top brass of the Caesar Empire still has a little brain, they will take care of the development of the bluefin salmon Chamber of Commerce as if they were their own children. Not to mention that Lin Qi also promised to build a low artificial yard here, which is a good thing that can't be invited.

Lin Qi already has Ji Ge in his heart, and he can make the Caesar Empire a little more sweet in the future. Maybe he could get a hereditary noble title in the Caesar Empire? This would be good for him and for the Black Tiger family. Think about it, Blackbeard wanted to mix up the position of mayor of Dunerke, but the result was good, he collapsed Dunerke into the sky by mistake, and the mayor who had been planning for a long time also failed.

took Lu En and the others back to Maren Town, it was almost dusk, Lin Qi hastily freshened up, and returned to his rented house. He walked around the room that served as a study, smiled and nodded.

Someone in the study had sneaked in, and it was the work of an unusually shrewd hand.

Lin Qi didn't use those small and simple means such as clipping hair on the door frame to warn, this kind of method is okay to deal with ordinary people, but it is simply a joke to deal with assassins who have been hard training. He just lit a incense burner in the house as he left, and then closed the doors and windows. When he returned, the smell of incense had faded a bit, and there was some very faint odor mixed in.

Ordinary people couldn't recognize such a small change at all, but it was enough for Lin Qi, and someone did break into his study.

Opening the window facing Lake St. Lune and lifting the curtains, Lin Qi sat behind the bookcase and quickly began to write on the ledger. While writing down lines and lines of numbers fluently, he muttered to himself: "On the fifth day of the project, the total amount of earthwork excavated is thousands, and a certain amount of wages are paid, and a certain amount of meat and wine are paid. The total budget of the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce is several, and a number of expenditures have been spent. A number of ...... of the budget for the construction of the port"

Pinching his fingers and calculating quickly, Lin Qi made a summary of the expenses and budgets of these days. Then he coughed lightly and shouted out the door, "Let Captain Rune in, and everyone else stay away." ”

Lin Qi heard a subtle sound coming from the roof, and the sound was like a fallen leaf falling on the roof tiles, which was not noticeable at all. But when it fell on Lin Qi's ears, the sound was extremely obvious. The two Assassins lay on the roof, and when they landed, one of the mid-ranking Assassins nearly crushed a roof tile with his knee, and it was another half-step Assassin who lent him a hand of strength to avoid the risk of being exposed on the spot.

Coughing lightly, Lin Qi continued to read the complicated accounts.

He was going to put on a play for the Assassins who were looking for information, so that they could be convinced that he was the vanguard of Caesar's Empire sent by a powerful family. He wanted to mislead the Assassins into making trouble for others, not to keep their attention on himself.

Come to think of it, Yun Jun and the Acacia family's attention is now focused on Dunerke, right? These assassins and killers who are still out and about are also some lucky characters. As long as they find that they have made the wrong target, they will naturally stay away from them, and Lin Qi will also get a quiet development time in Malen Town, and at the same time, his own safety can be guaranteed.

As long as he connects with the Black Tiger Family, Lin Qi's safety will be guaranteed, and he will not have to be so cautious and not so trembling at that time. Now Lin Qi finally found that it was indeed a great convenience to have the power of the family behind him.

He now misses Hammer Tree, Uncle Butcher's Knife, Aunt Lili, and Uncle Barr. If he had their help by his side now, Lin Qi wouldn't have to do everything himself. It's really strange, Aunt Lili's strength is far inferior to Alda and the others who are following Lin Qi now, but Lin Qi just feels that Aunt Lili and their affairs make them feel at ease.

As for Alda's gang, Lin Qi can only hope that they don't lose their lives

What else could he expect from him?

Not long after, Lu En pushed open the door of the study and walked in, and then bowed respectfully to Lin Qi.

Lin Qi coughed lightly and glanced back at Lune: "Lune, maybe there is something I need to let you know." ”

Lu En glanced at Lin Qi in surprise, and then clapped his right hand into a fist on his heart: "This is my honor, boss!"

Lin Qi heard the faint sound of breathing, and the two assassins were clearly listening intently to their own words. When Lin Qi said this just now, the middle-level person couldn't hold back the movement in his heart at this moment, and suddenly made his breathing a little louder, so he let Lin Qi listen to it.

But assassins were assassins after all, and Lin Qi could hear the sound of their mistakes, and Rune, a half-step heavenly warrior, didn't react at all. This shows the horror of the Assassins, if the two Assassins on the roof wanted to assassinate Luan, Lune would be killed by them with almost no strength to fight back.

With his fingers flicking the table, Lin Qi said: "The Pink Lily family is a big family that once enjoyed a high reputation in history. But hundreds of years ago, the family fell. It is only in recent decades that the family has been given a chance to make a comeback. ”

Lu En looked at Lin Qi quietly, and there was no change in the expression on his resolute face.

Lin Qi sighed lightly and nodded slowly: "The family has recovered a little vitality, but on the road of the future development of the family, there are disagreements within the family. You know, big families are always like this, everybody has their own ideas, and this often causes another decline in the family. ”

"In order to avoid internal friction in the family's strength, the current head of the family, that is, my uncle, has made a decision to let us young people develop outside the country in the name of different aristocratic families. This is a barren land, so I think there is greater potential for development here, and we will also be valued and supported by the Caesar Empire. ”

"And the other people, some of them chose to do business in the Vyas Merchant Federation, some chose to go to the Gallic Empire to politics, and some made other choices. But I firmly believe that we made the right choice. We are here, we will build a powerful territory, we will fight to obtain the hereditary nobility of the Caesar Empire, and we will create a powerful new family here!"

"We have a strong capital budget, we have a strong technical reserve, we have a sufficient talent pool, and we have a clear development plan. We now have the support of His Excellency Norweman and Kailuman, and we will get more support from the top of the Caesar Empire in the future!

"So, I hope, Rune, that you can be my direct retainer!"

Lin Qi looked at Lu En deeply: "Think about it, after becoming my direct retainer, when I grow the Pink Lily family, I will give you the title of noble." I will focus on supporting you, and even I can let you break through the heavenly position, and I can even let you have the power of the Holy Realm! ”

Lu En's dark face turned slightly red, he glanced at Lin Qi deeply, thought carefully for a long time, and then knelt down on one knee in front of Lin Qi. At this moment, Lu En thought of many things, one by one, he thought of the ship drawings that Lin Qi took out, thought of the huge amount of gold coins that Lin Qi donated to the garrison, and thought of the majestic drawings that Lin Qi had sketched.

"The owner...... No, Lord, I would gladly be your retainer. But this qiē has a premise, I will not betray my motherland!"

Lin Qi spread his hands and shouted loudly: "Oh, am I that kind of person? I will take root in the Caesar Empire, so I will not do anything harmful to the Caesar Empire." On the contrary, I will help the Caesar Empire, and the technology I bring will help the Caesar Empire become rich and strong. ”

Standing up triumphantly and dancing a gorgeous circle dance, Lin Qi shook his head and said, "Then, Lune, now give you a task." I need...... I need an elite force of guards. Not the Chamber's Guards, but the Family's, elite, loyal to my guards. You should know what I mean, there should be some professionals in it, for example......

Lu took a deep breath, and he nodded vigorously: "I understand what you mean, I will do my best to put it together"

Lin Qi nodded in satisfaction, he waved his hand, and Lu En respectfully retreated.

The two assassins on the roof also drifted away, and Lin Qi listened intently, just in time to hear the whispers of the two assassins who had moved dozens of meters away.

"Damn, not this. ”

"We'll have to find someone suspicious again. ”

"Hell, how could the target come to Caesar's Empire? we're wasting our time in vain!"

Lin Qi's heart was relieved, these hanging boot ghosts should leave quickly, so that he could have time to make other arrangements. (To be continued)
