Fang and Lin Yong really loved each other.
When they walked out just now, they put their arms around each other's shoulders and called each other brother. Li Yi checked the accounts for a while. When he walked out of the room again, he saw Lin Yong hanging on the tree by Fang.
Fang's strength was beyond doubt, and others could not be envious of him at all.
He was born with great strength. When his family conditions were not good, he only looked stronger than others. Later, when the material conditions kept up, he began to leave ordinary people far behind.
Coupled with the training of Second Granduncle, even Li Yi did not dare to say that he could easily defeat him. His fists were too heavy, and one punch could kill someone.
Lin Yong only had some skills, but he could only be regarded as half a person in the martial arts world. Of course, he was no match for Fang.
"Li Brothers, save me, save me!" Lin Yong hung on the tree. Seeing Li Yi coming out, he seemed to see his savior.
Li Yi glanced at Fang, and then Fang jumped on the tree reluctantly and put him down.
…
In fact, Ruoqing's pregnancy was somewhat beyond their expectation.
This time, they came to the Qi Kingdom for one more important thing in addition to sightseeing.
To unify the Holy Religion.
Xu Zheng was indeed a rare talent. In the later generations, he would definitely be the leader of a multi-level marketing organization, a large-scale one, and the number one target of the state to crack down and ban.
Their doctrine had become to persuade people to do good, leading the so-called Holy Religion founded by Taoist Nun to the right path. All the believers had the right to believe or not at any time. In essence, there was not much difference from the regular religions in the later generations.
However, it was impossible for Xu Zheng to complete this difficult task alone.
No matter how high his status was, it was not higher than that of Taoist Nun. Many things needed Ruoqing to do.
Now that Ruoqing was pregnant, Li Yi naturally would not let her appear in public again. The matter of the Holy Religion was put aside for the time being.
Along the way, they collected a lot of news about the Qi Kingdom.
The emperor of the Qi Kingdom had been ill for a long time and did not care about the state affairs. These years, he had been ill several times and almost died, but in the end, he did not die.
If he died, it would be straightforward. The Eldest Prince Zhao Zheng was the legitimate Crown Prince. Before the Emperor died, there was no edict to depose the Crown Prince. He would be the new Emperor. The Third Prince Zhao Yi would have to go wherever he wanted. Unless he rebelled or Zhao Zheng suddenly became hysterical and passed the throne to him, he would have no fate with the throne in this life.
However, as long as the old emperor did not die, Zhao Zheng was only the crown prince. If he reached out in advance, it would also be a rebellion …
Therefore, the two people and the two forces were in a deadlock.
However, the emperor of the Qi Kingdom not only let the eldest prince, Zhao Zheng, supervise the state, but also let the third prince, Zhao Yi, supervise from the side. It was not hard to imagine what the court of the Qi Kingdom would be like.
Of course, there were benefits to doing this, and they were not small.
The two forces were at odds with each other. Each was waiting to seize the other's weakness and mistake, so neither dared to make mistakes.
When Li Yi left, the Qi Kingdom was in constant dispute because of the discussion of the silver for crimes. The people were not calm, and it was said that several states had revolted …
When he came back this time, those hidden dangers in the Qi Kingdom were all gone. A few years ago, under the leadership of the third prince, the court adopted a gentle method and implemented the debit and credit bookkeeping system. Until now, it had been quite effective. Although the corruption among the officials had not been completely stopped, it had been quite effective …
As expected, those who could become the emperor were not easy to deal with. Li Yi did not know what the emperor of the Qi Kingdom thought about the struggle for the throne, but he did play a good hand. For a long time, including now, the prosperity of the Qi Kingdom was justified.
If it was not for the rapid rise of the Jing Kingdom in recent years, perhaps they would still be living under the shadow of the Qi Kingdom.
As for who would become the emperor of the Qi Kingdom, Li Yi did not care much.
It had little to do with him. Whether Zhao Zheng or Zhao Yi took over the Qi Kingdom, they would not pose much of a threat to the Jing Kingdom.
A long time ago, the Jing Kingdom had been at the forefront of the times, and the speed of its advancement was getting faster and faster, leaving the other countries far behind. It even had the perspective of God. Li Xuan had been improving the cannons, and he had also begun to develop and supervise the manufacture of many other types of firearms.
As long as they did not encounter an extremely fatuous emperor who overthrew everything they had done, the current Jing Kingdom was not something that the Qi Kingdom could catch up with even if it had one or a few wise emperors.
Under such circumstances, of course, he hoped that Zhao Yi would be the one to take over.
All his life, he was not fond of owing favors. He did not like owing favors to women, and he did not like owing favors to men.
The former could be repaid with his body, but if he wanted to repay the latter, he would have to do something else.
There was no doubt that the Third Prince, Zhao Yi, had played a great role in the smooth sailing of the Lin family's business for the past few years. It could be said that he had taken good care of Wanru.
This was a great favor. Just based on this point, the scales in his heart had to tilt in favor of him.
Of course, it was impossible for him to go to his side and give him advice now, but he did not mind giving him a push when it was necessary.
Lin Wanru walked out of the room and gave some instructions to Lin Yong.
Although the Liuzhou was far from the capital of the Qi Kingdom, and it was not considered an important military town, it was a big commercial province.
Geographically speaking, the Liuzhou was in the hinterland of the Qi Kingdom and did not border other countries, so it did not have the conditions to become a big commercial province.
However, the people of the Liuzhou had been raising silkworms for generations, and the silk of the Liuzhou was famous far and wide. This time, Lin Wanru came to expand the silk and clothing business. If it was successful, perhaps the Liuzhou would become their biggest clothing base in the Qi Kingdom.
Lin Yong looked at Li Yi, who was not far away, and then looked at Lin Wanru, and asked, "Miss, how long will we stay in the Liuzhou this time?"
Lin Wanru was the helmsman of the Lin family. She only needed to ensure that the general direction was not wrong, so she did not need to stay in the Liuzhou for a long time. Other things would be handled by the steward. After thinking for a while, she said, "About a month."
Lin Yong looked at Li Yi, and asked, "Li Brothers, how long will you stay in the Liuzhou?"
Ruoqing was pregnant. They could either go back to Shuzhou or Ruyi City now, or stay here and wait for her to give birth.
Although Ruyi City and Shuzhou were more suitable for nurturing the fetus, they were already deep in the Qi Kingdom. If they went back, it would probably take a few months. The journey would be tiring and bumpy. After discussing with Li Yi and Ruyi, they decided to stay in the Liuzhou and go back after she gave birth.
However, in this way, their plan to detour from the Qi Kingdom to the Jing Kingdom would have to be put on hold.
Li Yi thought for a while, and said, "Less than a year."
During this time, naturally, he would not only wait for Ruoqing to give birth, but also carefully plan the affairs of the Holy Religion and the business of the Qi Kingdom.
Miss Lin only planned to stay here for a month, but the Li Brothers wanted to stay for almost a year. Lin Yong thought for a while, looked at Lin Wanru, and said, "Miss, I think that the Liuzhou is different from other places. The business here is developed, and there are many rich businessmen. If we enter the Liuzhou abruptly and meddle in the business of the Liuzhou, I'm afraid that they will be dissatisfied and suppress us. In order to avoid accidents, I'm afraid we should stay for a few more days. It's safer this way. Miss, what do you think …"
Hearing this, Lin Wanru nodded and said, "You're right. Then let's stay for a few more days."
Lin Yong agreed deeply. He smiled and said, "I think we should also stay for a year and a half. It should be enough."
Lin Wanru looked at him and frowned slightly. When she was about to speak, a young man knocked on the courtyard door and walked in with a few attendants.
"Miss Lin," he looked at Lin Wanru and said with a smile, "I'm here to discuss the cooperation between the Lin and Liu families."
Lin Wanru and the young man went to the parlor. Lin Yong did not follow them. He walked to Li Yi and said, "They are from the Liu family. The Liu family is the largest magnate in the Liuzhou. They are relatives of the royal family and have been in the silk business for generations …"
Li Yi looked at Lin Yong in surprise. He seemed to be a little too talkative today.
"These days, he comes here every day to talk about cooperation …" Lin Yong pursed his lips and said, "Don't think that I can't see it. What business talk? He has been dragging the matter of cooperation. He is here to pursue our family's Miss …"
Li Yi continued to look at him.
"I just remembered and said it casually …" Seeing Li Yi look at him, Lin Yong waved his hand and said, "I definitely did not say that he is Li Brothers' rival in love. I also did not hint at you to pursue our Miss. Li Brothers, please don't misunderstand, please don't misunderstand …"
