It's funny to say, don't look at the fat dun round and rumbling, but there is a very elegant name, called Li Chengfeng. According to his own words, he was the chief shopkeeper of the Great Li family of the eighteenth family of the Great Liang Kingdom. Although due to the change of the royal power of Daliang, the original eighteenth family has been silent for a generation with the abdication of the Chen family of the royal family, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the network of connections and accumulated wealth and cultural heritage woven by more than 500 years cannot be easily eliminated in more than 20 years. What's more, the new lord of the country is not a master of great talent, and his ability in all aspects is lacking, even if there is the overseer of the Astral Realm stationed in the Great Liang Country to secretly support him, he has only barely controlled the court pattern in the past twenty years, and he has not been able to reverse the situation that the local power is controlled by the Eighteenth Family. Even the Chen family, where all its members are imprisoned, has much more influence than the new royal family when they are local. So, don't look at Li Chengfeng's unsightly appearance...... It should be said that he looks ugly, but in the entire place outside the capital of the Great Liang Kingdom, his status is not necessarily lower than that of the highest local governor.

"It's Shopkeeper Li, it's really a rare guest, let's go, let's talk slowly at the cold house." Taking advantage of Li Chengfeng's standing to ventilate, Xin Yu greeted and invited.

Who knew that Li Chengfeng didn't wait for the rhythm of his breathing to calm down, so he said anxiously: "Don't, Young Master Xin, I came to you so early, I was in a hurry." Come back to Chen's Mansion with me, everyone is waiting. ”

"Oh?" Xin Yu was surprised, the relationship between him and Li Chengfeng was just an ordinary business relationship, not very close, and what he sold to Li Chengfeng ...... It doesn't seem to have anything to do with eagerness. Who do you mean?

After Chen Moru's retreat, the Xin Yu family and the entire shipbuilding workshop employees were herded, and the Huan Zilou, which fully accepted the Chen Mansion, did not dare to let them leave without receiving clear instructions from the master. In other words, Chen Moru, who was focused on astralism, actually didn't think about how to deal with these shipbuilders.

It is said that the Chen Mansion did not treat these employees outside the establishment badly, and they were paid according to their salaries if they did not do anything, but they were not allowed to leave. However, except for Xin Yu's family, the other craftsmen and laborers were all employed celibately. The first two years were fine, whether it was shipbuilding or maintenance, it was enough for them to be too busy to think about home. But it's hard to say when you're idle, after all, most of these people are hot-blooded men, gathered together to do nothing, it's just a group of unstable factors.

In fact, in the first two months of work, the more than 50 shipwrights and dozens of other slave crew members could not stand the restraints, and the violations of the rules such as fights and brawls became more and more frequent, especially some slave crew members who could not hold back really had no reverence for Xin Daqiang, the nominal leader, so that they developed to the point of teasing Pan Guihua. Xin Daqiang did exercise some management skills in organizing shipbuilding, but there was nothing he could do in the face of this situation that was close to rioting. It was Xin Yu who finally saw that these people were getting worse and worse, so he relied on his own work to make a ruthless move, breaking the limbs of those slaves who were molesting the old lady, and beating them together with those who made trouble together, which calmed down the restlessness a little.

However, it is not a matter to go on like this, his own master has devoted himself to the cultivation of astral arts, and he doesn't care about these miscellaneous matters at all, although Huan Zilou has the power to deal with things on the spot, but he has no decisiveness to deal with things, and without the exact permission of the master, he will definitely not let these people out on his own initiative. So Xin Yu suggested that these people should continue to be busy, and it was best to bring their families over to avoid the commotion.

However, there is nothing that these people need to do except ship building and boating, and they don't seem to be doing anything else except building ships and boats. It was impossible for Huan Zilou to allow an irrelevant person like the family members of the employees to enter the Chen Mansion, so he couldn't think of anything for a while. In the end, it was still Xin Yu who gave the suggestion to build another closed courtyard on the wasteland by the sea outside the walls of the Chen Mansion, so that the families of those craftsmen could move in and settle down.

However, after the family home was built, Xin Yu was depressed. Chen Fu, who was originally generous to him, did not reimburse him for the materials he advanced. Although all the construction was done by labor slaves, Xin Yu also spent two hundred taels of silver for this, which made him a little stretched to buy medicinal materials for a while.

As a last resort, Xin Yu had to come up with a way to make money with black technology and subsidize his small treasury. Anyway, those laborers are idle, helping him work without delaying anything, and with the Chen Mansion paying wages, it can also prevent them from rioting idlely, which can be said to kill multiple birds with one stone.

Li Chengfeng was met by Xin Yu through the relationship between Huan Zilou when he was selling glass products. In fact, glass has already appeared in this world, after all, firing porcelain also requires high temperatures, and as for the materials used to fire glass, it is not a great secret in the historical development of thousands of years. However, the glassmaker's thinking is a little old, and he burns glass by burning porcelain, and there is no concept of molding-blowing at all, so the glass products sold by Xin Yu with strange or elegant shapes have become sought-after goods. Eun Zilou probably saw Xin Yu's identity as the master's apprentice, and was worried that he would be played by profiteers, so he took the opportunity of Li Chengfeng's arrival to introduce the two to each other. After that, the two began trading two or three times a year, and that's it.

Xin Yu thought about it, the latest transaction seems to have been sold to Li Chengfeng a newly developed glass mirror, so that people can take it to a big city to test the water, but even if the demand for mirrors is hot, it won't be in a hurry, right?

"Hey......" Li Chengfeng took Xin Yu's hand and explained while dragging him away, "Do you know, the ancestor of the Chen family is back." ”

Xin Yu is even more strange now: What does the Chen family's ancestor have to do with him when he comes back? Even if this is a major event with five thunders and thunders in the sky, even if it is an urgent matter of holding urine and looking for a toilet, if you want to find it, you should also find Chen Moru, at least you have to find Huan Zilou, right? What does it have to do with me? It has nothing to do with you, right?

Fortunately, Li Chengfeng went on to explain: "Xingtian Sect, Fanxing Sect, Xinghua Gate, Lang Evil Family...... There are many star magicians from the two major families of the ten major sects, saying that they are accompanying the ancestor to visit the descendants, but in fact, they want to finish the previous matter. Old Man Chen and the eunuch housekeeper were busy receiving them, so they asked me to come to you and hurry back. ”

Xin Yu saw the excitement and excitement on Li Chengfeng's face, and finally remembered that the master had told him that the Eighteen Liang Families and the Chen Family had long since condensed into a whole that was both prosperous and lossy, and if the Chen family could successfully regain the authority of the Great Liang Kingdom, their Li family would definitely be able to take advantage of the situation to restore their original status and strength.

Xin Yu was not excited, it was really not that his psychological quality or spiritual realm had reached a certain height, or that he had calm breath every time he faced a major event, but that he felt from the bottom of his heart that this matter had nothing to do with him, so An Bu said as he walked: "We can't help in the past, if there is a fight, we are even still burdensome, so there is no need to rush to me to go back, right?"

Li Chengfeng patted his head: "Look at my memory, my ancestor mentioned that I wanted to see you." ”

"Old Ancestor?" Seeing Li Chengfeng nodding affirmatively, Xin Yu quickened his pace with questions. Although I don't know how the ancestor came out by himself in this short period of time, he actually knew the existence of this little person, and he also asked to see him by name. However, even if the old ancestor is not a heifer with a big star magician, he is also an old man who is more than five hundred years old, and he is also the ancestor of his nominal master, as a junior, whether it is out of respect or courtesy, he should not be allowed to wait.

When Xin Yu entered the courtyard of the Chen Mansion through the side door, he saw a dozen or so strange white-haired old men surrounding the people of the Chen Mansion, thinking that they should be the astronomers of those sect families. And there is a strange old man in front of Chen Moru, who should be the ancestor of the Chen family.

The scene was a bit like a triad show, probably talking about some sensitive topic, and the atmosphere was also a little tense. However, although the members of the Chen Mansion, both in terms of quantity and quality, were much inferior to those sect star magicians, the old ancestor, who looked very ordinary in size and even temperament, proudly ignored the crowd opposite, and said eloquently: "These days, the old man has inquired very clearly, the old man, the descendants of the nine generations away, did not act at all inappropriate or even evil, to put it mildly, the old man just wants to unseal him, and the other grievances and entanglements have not yet been settled with everyone." Do you think that the old man has the idea of calming things down, and that the old man does not have the wrath of King Kong? Do you still have to have a fight with the old man before you can clearly understand the fact that the strong are respected? Besides, it was the old man who started from scratch and created the foundation of the Great Liang Kingdom, and you said that if you deprive it, you will deprive it, and now you have to give an explanation to the old man, right?"

Cool, it's so cool. The old ancestor did not speak loudly, did not grit his teeth, did not have King Kong's angry eyes, did not have a fierce god, and did not use his body movements to enhance his momentum, he was so light and light, so plain as water, he simply stated a fact.

But it was this calmness in the face of the representatives of the entire astral world that made Xin Yu sigh in his heart: The eldest husband should be like this, I can replace him. This feeling is a desire for great power, and only the astral world, which is strong enough to despise this world, can be so indifferent. It's the highest level of pretending to be b, that fan, tsk, it's really envious.

"Are you Xin Yu?" Ignoring the representatives of those sect families, the old ancestor was the first to see Xin Yu who appeared at the door, and nodded as if admiring, "You did a good job." ”

Although the words of the old ancestor made Xin Yu feel a little inexplicable, he was intimidated by the calm but profound eyes, and did not arrogantly ask which of his merits had entered the eyes of the old ancestor, but nodded unconsciously, and said obediently: "The kid is Xin Yu, the old ancestor has won the award." ”

The old ancestor sighed for some reason, and then sighed with emotion: "It's not a prize, Qingping starts from the end of the ......."
