Appreciated, for Li Tianyang, who has no foothold in Beijing, it is naturally a perfect ending, judging from Cao Yongyi's previous experience, the relationship between this father-in-law named Shi Yuanya is not as simple as outsiders say, just a steward of a wine vinegar noodle bureau.

Therefore, with the help of Lu Gui this time, Li Tianyang's flattery of the elderly husband is still very good, anyway, he borrowed a lot of jokes on the Internet in later generations, and after adaptation, it made the two old men laugh.

At the same time, in order not to show that he was too flattering, Li Tianyang also inserted a lot of anecdotes that he encountered when he started his business, from which the two old men could naturally figure out a lot of flavors.

"Along the way, others only see our brilliant side, but they don't know how much effort and blood we have put into it!" As he spoke, Li Tianyang sighed when he recalled the past.

"Only by suffering can you become a master, and the world will not be able to see others shine, this is nature, don't care about these. But we're curious, isn't it really difficult to build a force? "When Shi Yuanya was ten years old, he was sold by his family to be a eunuch in the palace, and he spent most of these years in this imperial city, so naturally there are few rich experiences like Li Tianyang raising them.

Even Lu Gui, the father-in-law, although he had traveled in Shandong, Fujian and other places and worked as a salt and iron tax supervisor, he had never had the experience of building a team from scratch and developing a wild land like Li Tianyang.

On the contrary, people of insight like Shen Yourong were very worried, and they were not at all in the eyes of these two fathers-in-law to develop land and establish a stronghold on Dayuan Island without authorization.

"How is it not difficult, the most dangerous thing in the jungle is not the visible poisonous tongue beast, but the miasma disease, when I was closest to death, I got the problem of playing the pendulum, and I lost seven or eight pounds in five or six days, and I was ready to arrange the future, but fortunately, God favored me and let me survive!" Recalling the original illness, Li Tianyang is now in a cold sweat, and the helplessness of life and death, Li Tianyang may never forget it.

"And with those indigenous tribesmen who don't know how to educate, if you don't pay attention, you don't know what the reason has offended them, one moment you may be smiling and greeting you, and the next moment their entire tribe will kill us, trying to ...... us."

"Pirates are not fuel-efficient lamps, killing people and setting fires are all evil that is their true portrayal, and if you want to co-opt them and let them know the awe again, that is not something that can be changed in a day or two."

"Everything else is actually okay to say, population, food, land, these things, as long as you work hard, will slowly increase after all, but we really can't find a substitute for controlled items like pig iron and sulfur on Dayuan Island, and we don't know if there are mineral veins on the island, so we need to purchase more from China."

"But your second elder also knows that things like this related to the country's armament have always been strictly controlled by the imperial court, and a little purchase may be able to think of a way, but if the batch is large, it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble." Li Tianyang is also clever, and when the other party asked, he revealed some of the restrictions he had encountered.

"......" However, Li Tianyang's temptation did not cause Shi Yuanya and them to interject, and even Shi Yuanya's face did not change in Li Tianyang's afterglow, as if they did not understand the meaning of Li Tianyang's words at all.

Since the other party didn't talk to him, Li Tianyang definitely didn't want to continue to pierce this layer of window paper, and he brought this matter over in a few words, but he didn't mean to chase and fight.

Seeing that it was getting empty and it was already lunchtime, the old man Shi Yuanya wanted to keep Lu Gui and them to eat at home, but in the end, at Lu Gui's insistence, Li Tianyang and them also took advantage of this time to leave the old man Shi Yuanya's house.

"Xiao Li, you're still too anxious, do you think we didn't hear the meaning of your words? Actually, the old guy was just pretending to be confused. On the way back, when Li Tianyang faced Lu Gui alone, when he cautiously asked Lu Gui for his evaluation of his previous realization, Lu Gui smiled and said to Li Tianyang: "With my understanding of this guy, even if he really likes your talent and ability, he will send someone to check you and do a good round, so as not to bring him any hidden dangers." ”

"But I see that you still have a show, I rarely see Lao Shi showing such a strong interest in a young man, and he will naturally send someone to find you when the time comes." Perhaps because of the relationship that he let go, Lu Gui had a good impression of the contact in front of him a few times, and the young man was surprisingly patient, and told his guess to calm Li Tianyang's heart.

"But that's all I have to do, except for having a meal with Lao Shi in the future, I, an old guy, won't be able to do anything else!" Taking Li Tianyang to Shi Yuanya's house as a guest can be regarded as the benefit of Lu Gui's excess return of the 10,000 taels of silver sent by Li Tianyang, and after he works hard for Cao Yongyi's official title in all aspects of the Jingshi, even if he wants to help Li Tianyang, it is a little difficult.

"My father-in-law is ashamed to say this, this time I came to Beijing to disturb your old man many times, and I couldn't help it, and I also caused your boss to come out early in the morning to walk around, it is too helpful to me, and a thousand words are not enough to say thank you!" For what Lu Gui did this time, Li Tianyang saw it in his eyes, how could he not know that the other party had paid the benefits he had given in return, and even exceeded, but this thank you was also from Li Tianyang's true heart.

When bidding farewell to Lu Gui, Li Tianyang once again sent a carefully prepared gift, and without waiting for Lu Gui to refuse, he left adrift.

When Lu Gui returned home and opened Li Tianyang's gift list, a fluttering house deed made Lu Gui stunned at first, and then shook his head and smiled.

The deed was purchased by Li Tianyang for the past few days and spent no more than 10,000 taels of silver, but this house with a garden pond in Wujin is not located in Jingshi, but in Yingtianfu, where Lu Gui is about to go, even a dull person can detect the delicacy of Li Tianyang's thoughts.

It is not easy to buy a courtyard in Yingtianfu in Jingshi, and Li Tianyang is not familiar with life in Jingshi, to be honest, it really cost them a lot of manpower and resources, but fortunately, Yingtianfu is the accompanying capital, and the price of real estate there is not as expensive as here in Jingshi, so the cost is not too much.

Lu Gui seems to have stayed away from the important land of the Beijing Division and went to Yingtianfu to wait for the dead to retire, but judging from the fact that he was able to get the position of deputy commander of the Mansion Guard Army for Cao Yongyi, he still has a lot of connections in the Beijing Division. Others may be able to pick and choose and ignore this kind of dead salted fish-like existence, but Li Tianyang can't pick and choose fat and thin, like this kind of cold stove can still be burned, who knows when it will be used in Lu Gui's interpersonal relationships!
