Chapter 24 [The entire Linzhou is your backer!]
This Miss Gu is indeed from Beijing.
She is Gu Qianrong, the daughter of Gu Feng, the censor who came to Haizhou for inspection this time.
Gu Qianrong liked to run around with her father and brother since she was a child, and she seldom stayed in Beijing. However, she was a good friend of Xin Che's third sister Xin Ningyu, and she would always visit the "sick" Xin Ningyu when she returned to Beijing.
Gu Qianrong nodded to Li Sicong and said, "So you are Mr. Li's junior sister. Please go ahead."
Li Sicong suppressed his shock at seeing an old acquaintance in a foreign land. He pulled Jiang Lili aside, and his elegant face had turned bitter. "Ancestor, please stop talking and leave me a few words!"
"You've said all the famous quotes, what do you want me to say next time?"
After he said this, he felt a "beeping" sound in his head, and a group chat interface appeared in Li Sicong's mind.
@Deputy Class Leader: Oh my god, Li Xiaoguan, you finally showed up!
[@Hou Xiaoxiao: Li Bao, have you met with Li Xiaoguan? ]
@Study Committee Member: Brother Sicong, I look forward to you creating a business empire in Dasheng! Also, please use less poetry, saving some for me to prepare for the imperial examination.
"Fuck, that's outrageous!"
Li Sicong held his head and stood there in a daze. A class group chat suddenly appeared in his mind!
"Calm down, calm down."
Jiang Lili explained to Li Sicong how the whole class had traveled through time. It took Li Sicong a long time to digest and accept this fact.
"Hey, I brought you the ingredients you were stopped at the city gate."
Jiang Lili patted her backpack.
Li Sicong took Jiang Lili to find an empty warehouse. Jiang Lili called Xiaopang to teleport, and soon, wooden boxes containing food appeared in the room.
Although Li Sicong knew the wonders of Jiang Lili's backpack, he still couldn't help but marvel at it.
"Oh my god, when you get to Haizhou, you can transport seafood, grow vegetables and tropical crops, and send them to Xiaopang in baskets. Xiaopang won't even have to pay rent for the farm, saving him a ton of money."
Li Sicong's eyes lit up: "The land in modern times is much more expensive than in Haizhou."
Jiang Lili held her face in her hands and sighed, "Let's talk about it after we get to Haizhou. It's very desolate over there, and the transportation is not well developed. I guess we'll have to be busy for a while."
"Master Liao from our class is a horticulture major. He would be the perfect person to be assigned to farming and clearing wasteland."
The Master Liao that Jiang Lili mentioned is named Liao Ji. He is introverted and Buddhist, and a little superstitious. He likes fortune-telling.
He always does things at a leisurely pace, with the indifferent demeanor of a hermit, so everyone calls him Master Liao.
"I don't know where he is now. There's no sign of him anywhere."
Jiang Lili kept shaking her head. It was too difficult to shake someone because they traveled through time in batches.
"Tsk, don't you still have me?"
Li Sicong thought: "My father manages more than a dozen coal mines in Linzhou, large and small, and my mother left me a lot of farms and shops."
"Wait until I conquer my father with all my strength, and the entire Linzhou will be your backing!"
Jiang Lili applauded, he was worthy of being the sales champion, he had already painted a rosy picture for the customers at this time. Although Li Sicong was sometimes lacking, his strength as a sales champion was beyond words!
Thinking about the purpose of her trip, Jiang Lili told Li Sicong about the bandit suppression order.
"I've heard about the bandit suppression order. It was issued by my silly brother. It was a waste of money and manpower." Li Sicong shook his head. "It would be better to develop Linzhou's economy and improve the people's living standards."
"By the way, you said Guan Yue is here, where is Guan Yue?"
Jiang Lili slapped her thigh, "Ah! We've left behind our bandit sister."
The servant came to invite Guan Yue to the second-floor room. Guan Yue, Taozhi, Cheng Jiayu and others were already seated and eating hot pot.
"I'm going to go find the shopkeeper first. You guys take your time eating."
After giving instructions to Taozhi and Jiayu, Guan Yue followed the servant upstairs.
"Sister Yue, I've heard a lot about you!" Li Sicong smiled happily when he saw Guan Yue.
In high school, Guan Yue didn’t like eating in the cafeteria. As a day student, Li Sicong often helped Guan Yue buy meals outside the school, and he ate a lot of meals in return for kickbacks.
Guan Yue snorted in annoyance, "It's quite difficult to meet your Master Li!"
Li Sicong smiled and said, "Sister Yue, don't be angry. I heard from Li Li that your village has too many people to stay. Why don't you bring some of them to my village? I also have some skilled people. I plan to set up an escort agency to escort people."
The escort agency is equivalent to the ancient logistics and security company, which can escort goods as well as important people.
If you want to open up cargo transportation between Linzhou and Haizhou, a reliable escort agency is definitely indispensable.
"This is a good idea. My brothers can have a stable meal!" Guan Yue clapped her hands. "But Linzhou City is under such tight security right now. How can they get in?"
Li Sicong smiled slightly: "Don't worry, just watch me perform."
After a while, a servant came in and said, "Master, the prefect is here and is waiting in the next box."
Li Sicong stood up, shook his robe, and then walked out in a leisurely manner.
Not long after, a stern and angry voice rang out from the adjacent private room: "Cong'er, you asked me to attend the banquet, but you haven't even prepared the dishes?"
This sounded like the voice of the Linzhou prefect.
Jiang Lili pondered for a while and found that there was a crack in the wooden board that separated the private rooms, so she quickly called Guan Yue over to see what was going on.
"Dong—" Then there was a crisp sound of knees hitting the ground, followed by Li Sicong's voice: "Dad, I am unfilial and incompetent. It's all my fault."
Jiang Lili and Guan Yue were both startled by the sound of kneeling. Li Xiaoguan is really adaptable!
But, hadn't they already shipped the ingredients for the hot pot? It was such a big box.
Li Sicong kept admitting his mistakes but refused to explain the reasons, which left the Linzhou prefect puzzled.
At this time, the servant next to him could no longer bear to watch and said politely, "Master, you don't know, this is all because of the Second Young Master—"
"Shut up! Don't say any more!" Li Sicong interrupted the servant forcefully, taking the blame on himself. "Father, it's my fault for not managing the business well enough to delay your meal. I've already sent someone to get the ingredients from outside the city."
The Linzhou prefect knew something was up when he heard this. He pointed at the servant and asked, "Finish up your story. Why did you go outside the city to get the ingredients?"
"Master, you don't know..." The servant told the story of Master Li blocking people.
Li Sicong said in a tone that was trying to protect his brother: "Father, my brother is only doing this for the safety and order of Linzhou City. I believe he won't target me. After all, he and I are brothers!"
"If there's anything wrong, it's my fault. It must be my ingredients, my newly hired steward, the cook, the maid... there must be something wrong. That's why we're stuck outside the city. It's definitely not my brother's fault."
At this moment, Li Sicong was like a kind-hearted white lotus trying his best to protect his younger brother, completely different from the old-fashioned man who had just talked with Jiang Lili and Guan Yue!
Jiang Lili and Guan Yue were amazed at what they saw.
