Possessing a large amount of novel materials can earn enough treasure, but without the corresponding military force, it will only make them fat sheep.
Although the emperor was sitting high in the hall, the other party was like a clay Buddha crossing the river and could not protect himself, and it was impossible for him to control the fighting between the princes and earls below.
Young Master Rong Li wandered around for several days in a row, and every day was a fresh day for him, but he also knew that he had delayed too long and it was time to go meet the owner of Qucheng.
Several people got up very early and walked around for so many days. He already knew in his heart that this was definitely not something an ordinary civilian could do.
Regardless of whether that person is an imposter or not, at least he is definitely not an ordinary civilian.
Which commoner knows how to manage a city and can gather so many people's hearts?
He also found out some information about the large stones on the floor. They were not carved from large stones at all, but were made of some special material.
He felt both admiration and caution.
Qucheng is very close to his father's city. If the other side develops, they will be the first to be threatened.
Although he valued this person, he also knew that this person would not pose a threat to them in the short term. What he had to do was to make friends with him. Of course, it would be even better if he could find out that the other party was a fake before that.
He could then divide up the other party's things under the banner of protecting the nobility.
Several people got up early and heard some noises in front of them. Master Rong Li asked the guards around him to ask a few questions.
When the other party came back, he replied respectfully, "Sir, those people are the city's excrement collectors. They transport the excrement and urine outside the city, supposedly to be used for compost."
“What is compost?”
Young Master Rong Li asked, but no one could give him an answer.
Jin Fu also shook his head after hearing this. He went in and out with Master Rong Li together, but the other party didn't even know how he knew it?
During this period, he felt more and more uneasy, and could only hint at it, hoping that Master Rong Li would go and meet the impostor as soon as possible so that he could expose him.
Today, Master Rong Li is finally going to meet the other party. How can he let Master Rong Li be distracted by these trivial things?
"Sir, we have already wasted several days. I am afraid that the imposters in Qucheng have already known our whereabouts."
Young Master Rong Li glanced at him calmly and said, "Whether the mayor of Qucheng is an imposter or not is still unknown."
…
As soon as An Jingzhi finished washing up, he heard someone outside hurriedly walking up to the old housekeeper to report.
After hearing this, the old butler took two steps at a time and came to the dining table where An Jingzhi was having his meal.
"Master, this is Young Master Rongli, the son of Earl Rongchang, who has been visiting our city for several days."
An Jingzhi said: "Finally it's here."
He looked at the breakfast in front of him and ordered, "Make some more. The more abundant the better."
Then he asked the old butler to go and welcome Master Rong Li and his companions.
Although the other party's father had a higher title than him, Master Rongli himself did not have any title. If he went out to greet him, it would make him seem inferior.
When Master Rong Li saw that it was the old butler who came to greet him, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and the guards behind him all looked indignant.
When has their young master ever suffered such an injustice? He is just a small baron, but he dares to show off in such a big way?
"The master has been waiting for you for a long time."
"Thank you." The overweight Master Rong Li had the air of a dignified and upright person of a noble family when he saluted, and he did not look bloated at all.
Several people followed the old butler all the way to the reception room. When An Jingzhi saw someone coming in, he immediately smiled as warmly as spring breeze and stood up to greet them.
"Mr. Rong Li, I have long admired you."
The other party also showed a hypocritical smile and exchanged a few words with him before sitting down under An Jingzhi's warm reception.
An Jingzhi looked at Jin Fu beside him meaningfully.
Jin Fu originally thought that the other party would be horrified and scared when he saw him, but he didn't expect that he would feel goosebumps all over when being stared at by the other party.
"Mr. Rong Li has come from afar, please allow me to show some hospitality."
Then he asked someone to bring up all the breakfast prepared by the kitchen.
Young Master Rong Li saw a stack of white objects, frowned, and asked, "What is this?"
An Jingzhi explained with a smile, "This is rice noodle rolls, a dish developed by the servants of the mansion. It requires removing the husk of rice, grinding it into rice paste, then steaming it over water and sprinkling it with some special sauce."
“Best enjoyed in the morning.”
Master Rong Li nodded and said, "I've never heard of such a way of eating."
During the few days he was strolling around the city, he had eaten a lot of the delicious food that the common people said came from the City Lord's Mansion.
In order not to appear particularly ignorant, he just made an objective comment.
But his eyes never left the breakfast in front of him.
An Jingzhi introduced them one by one, all of which were light foods with very complicated preparation processes.
In addition to rice rolls, there are also soy milk and fried dough sticks, glutinous rice chicken, and soup dumplings.
Master Rong Li listened to his introduction one by one. Although he didn't want to show that he was ignorant, he had indeed never heard of these foods.
I thought to myself: This person is really knowledgeable about this dish.
When An Jingzhi introduced them, he could still hold back his saliva, but when he personally tasted these delicacies that he had never eaten before, he completely lost his composure.
No wonder he was so greedy and didn't react until he had eaten up everything in front of him.
An Jingzhi looked at the annoyed Young Master Rong Li with a smile, "Is it still to your taste?"
Young Master Rong Li said somewhat unnaturally, "It's OK."
The old butler lowered his head to hide the expression on his face.
Still okay? If there weren't people around, I'm afraid this Rong Li would have licked the plate clean, right?
Jin Fu, who was standing by, smelled the fragrance in the air and his stomach couldn't help but start to rumble.
Master Rong Li felt a little embarrassed because Jin Fu's stomach rumbling was just the beginning, and his guards also started to rumble one after another, as if the rumbling was spreading from person to person.
Some of the guards around Master Rong Li who were arranged to have breakfast with him could only wait for the next batch.
Realizing that he had embarrassed Master Rongli, one of the guards immediately poked Jin Fu with a subtle movement, trying to divert attention.
Jin Fu stepped forward, looked at An Jingzhi and asked, "Do you remember who I am?"
An Jingzhi slowly wiped his hands and mouth before saying, "Just now I was just about to ask why Master Rong Li was with the assassin who tried to kill me."
Young Master Rong Li coughed twice, trying to regain the aristocratic demeanor he had lost while eating.
"This is also the reason why I came here. To be honest, this person is suing you for pretending to be his son and taking the position of the Lord of Qucheng under his name."
