As Gu Chen expected, Li Yuntian was not in the mood to trouble Cui Hui now, and rushed to Ningbo Port early the next morning under the escort of the soldiers of the Wutang to participate in the sailor's sailing ceremony.

As for Li Shan's case, Li Yuntian handed it over to Wang Lu for trial, and Wang Lu was sent by the imperial court to inspect the imperial history, so naturally it was the most suitable to try this case.

In fact, the Li Shan case has been basically concluded, and now the main thing is to find out the identities of those who asked Liu Feng to take care of Li Shan, as well as Liu Feng's usual evil deeds, the most important of which is to investigate Liu Feng's evil deeds.

The so-called wall fell down and everyone pushed it, after Liu Feng was executed with a cane in public in the county government hall, the people knew that Liu Feng was finished, especially Liu Feng's previous subordinates who were proud of their might were either sentenced to punishment or clamped their tails and behaved, which made the people who were usually bullied by Liu Feng go to Jiangdu County to complain about their grievances, and Wang Lu was personally responsible for the trial.

Cui Hui's concubine, that is, Liu Feng's sister, cried in front of Cui Hui, hoping that Cui Hui could come forward to save Liu Feng's life, otherwise he would definitely die for the crimes committed by Liu Feng.

However, Cui Hui is now unable to protect himself, where can he take care of Liu Feng, and he can't do anything about it, so he scolded the concubine.

Li Yuntian had already asked people to notify the people of the Shandong Lecture Martial Arts Hall and asked them to find people who matched Li Shan's description, because the information provided by Li Shan was too small, so this made the investigation of the Lecture Martial Arts Hall personnel very large.

Because Li Shan was too young, Li Yuntian didn't expect him to provide much useful information, thinking that his performance at his age was not as good as Li Shan's.

Originally, Li Yuntian could leave Li Shan in Yangzhou City and hand it over to Wang Lu, but Li Shan pestered him, and he also liked Li Shan very much, so he took it with him, so that Li Shan was safer.

Li Shan seemed very excited on the way to Ningbo, chattering with Li Yuntian non-stop, very interested in the customs and customs of the south of the Yangtze River, which made Lin Xin can't help but feel envious, I am afraid that no one except Li Shan can "occupy" Li Yuntian so much time.

Since the people of Ningbo Mansion did not know that Li Yuntian was coming, it was not until Li Yuntian entered the city that the prefect of Ningbo Mansion and the Ningbo Wei Commander did not learn the news, and they hurried to meet him.

If the news of Li Yuntian's visit to Ningbo leaks out, then the boundary monument of Ningbo Mansion will definitely be full of people standing to greet them, including civil and military officials of Ningbo Mansion and local squires and ordinary people.

Li Yuntian felt helpless about this situation, he knew that if these people from Ningbo Mansion did not come to greet him, he was afraid that he would not be able to sleep well at night, and he was worried that he would be jealous, so he went with the flow, and naturally did not notify him in order to avoid causing trouble.

Because Ningbo Port not only played a pivotal role in the overseas trade of the Ming Dynasty, but also was an important military port for the naval division, Jiangwutang had an office in Ningbo City, which was responsible for coordinating the relationship between Jiangwutang and the local government, and Li Yuntian naturally lived there after coming to Ningbo City.

According to the plan, Li Yuntian stayed in Ningbo City for a day and then rushed to Ningbo Port, and a few days later it was the day when the sailors went to sea.

Because he wanted to summon the civil and military officials of Ningbo Prefecture, Li Yuntian asked Lin Xin to accompany Li Shan to walk around the street, so as not to stay at home and be bored.

The officials of the Ningbo Prefecture knew the importance of the Ningbo Port, so they took care of the Ningbo Port in normal times.

Li Shan pulled Lin Xin to stroll around Ningbo Port with great interest, with the vigorous development of overseas trade in the Ming Dynasty, Ningbo Port has become a prosperous town, and its prosperity is no less than that of Ningbo City.

A group of sturdy guards in civilian clothes quietly followed behind to protect Lin Xin and Li Shan, although there were many merchants coming and going from the north to the south in Ningbo Port, but the law and order was very good, and the militia and sailors patrolling the streets could often be seen.

According to Li Yuntian's plan, Ningbo Port was a military port, so it was under militarized management and was under the jurisdiction of the Haiying fleet of the Daming Naval Division, and the militia was an armed organization formed by the local chamber of commerce to assist the sailors in maintaining law and order.

It is worth mentioning that the local chamber of commerce refers to the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce, and now the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce is already a huge business empire, gradually implementing Li Yuntian's business philosophy, and it is precisely because of the response of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce that the Jiangnan commercial tax reform can be carried out smoothly.

To tell the truth, Li Yuntian's overseas trade seemed to make a lot of money for the Jiangwutang and the royal treasury on the surface, but in fact, it greatly promoted the prosperity of Daming's commerce, so that all related industries could flourish and have a huge impact.

In other words, many businessmen in the Ming Dynasty are now dependent on overseas trade, so naturally they will not lose big because of small things, and no one dares to offend the tax bureau, and then provoke Li Yuntian.

In Li Yuntian's view, instead of using bloody confrontational methods, it is better to use common interests to gradually guide Daming's business onto the right track, so that all parties can benefit from it.

It is precisely because Li Yuntian uses this gentle means to achieve his business plan, which is acceptable to all relevant stakeholders, and naturally no one opposes his business changes.

Those civil and military officials in the capital didn't know anything about business, so they naturally couldn't figure out the mystery, they only saw that Li Yuntian had made a lot of money, but they didn't expect that many businessmen had benefited a lot from it.

"Aunt Lin, why is this restaurant so strange?" At noon, Li Shan, who was holding snacks in his hand, accidentally saw a restaurant with a strange sign on the side of the road, and couldn't help but ask Lin Xin next to him curiously, although Lin Xin is still wearing men's clothes, Li Shan naturally knows that she is a woman.

"This is a restaurant in the Wa country, and it deals in the food of the Wa country." Lin Xin glanced up at the restaurant and said to Li Shan with a smile, she also likes the smart and clever Li Shan.

"Wa Kingdom?" Li Shan tilted his head and thought for a while, as if he didn't know the country, and then asked with interest, "Is their food delicious?" ”

"It's different from Daming's food, otherwise let's go in and eat." Lin Xin immediately laughed when she heard this, feeling that Li Shan was very interested in the food of the Wa Kingdom.

"Good!" Li Shan's eyes lit up, and he nodded to Lin Xin again and again, like a chicken pecking rice.

Lin Xin smiled and reached out to touch Li Shan's head, and led him into the restaurant of the Japanese Kingdom, because it was lunch time at this time, the lobby of the restaurant was almost full of people, both Japanese and Ming, drinking and chatting there.

Naturally, after Li Yuntian launched overseas trade with the Wa Kingdom, more and more Wa people came to the Ming Dynasty, and the number of people who came to the Ming Dynasty also increased exponentially.

"Guests, please go upstairs, there is a private room above." A Japanese woman in a kimono greeted her, bowed to Lin Xin, and said in Ningbo dialect.

If it were only Lin Xin and Li Shan, the woman would definitely find a seat for the two of them in the lobby, but since the guards in charge of protection also followed, only a private room could fit so many people.

Lin Xin nodded and led Li Shan upstairs, it was indeed inconvenient for her and Li Shan to show up in public.

The upstairs private room is divided into two parts, the inner room and the outer room, which is different from the traditional Wa Guo restaurant, taking into account the living habits of the people of the Ming Dynasty and the huge passenger flow of the port, this Wa Guo restaurant does not spread tatami mats in the private room, but places tables and chairs, so as to avoid the guests from taking off their shoes, after all, the people of the Ming Dynasty do not have the habit of taking off their shoes when eating.

There are tables and chairs in the inner and outer rooms, the tables in the inner room are relatively small, the square table of eight immortals, and the table in the outer room is a round table that can accommodate more than ten people.

Lin Xin and Li Shan naturally went to the inner room and asked the Wa Guo woman who was in charge of receiving them to bring up all the signature dishes in the store, preparing to let Li Shan taste the dishes of the Wa Kingdom.

Although there are many diners in the restaurant, because the Japanese cuisine does not use processes such as frying and stir-frying, the food that Lin Xin wants was quickly brought up and the table was filled with plates and plates, but there was not much food on the plates.

"Here, try this." Lin Xin took a slice of sashimi and dipped it in soy sauce and put it on the plate in front of Li Shan.

"Thank you, Aunt Lin." Li Shan grinned at Lin Xin, picked up the sashimi and chewed it with relish, unlike when Li Yuntian saw Li Shan in the restaurant a few days ago, Li Shan didn't say "I'm moving" before eating this time.

In fact, since Li Shan was rescued from Liu Feng's hands, he never said "I'm moving" before the meal, Lin Xin didn't notice this, but Li Yuntian secretly remembered it in his heart.

"This is sashimi, the most delicious part of the fish cut from the fish with a knife, and I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it." Looking at Li Shan, who was feasting there, Lin Xin smiled and added another piece of sashimi to him, to be honest, ordinary people really can't eat this kind of raw thing.

"My mother said I was like my dad and I was never a picky eater." Li Shan stuffed the sashimi that Lin Xin gave him into his mouth, and said with a smile, "Auntie, you can eat it too, I can pick up the vegetables myself." ”

Lin Xin smiled when she heard this, and couldn't help but have a hint of gloom in her eyes when she looked at Li Shan, if she hadn't followed Li Yuntian, her current child was estimated to be four or five years old, and as an old girl in her twenties, she also wanted a child of her own.

It's just that Lin Xin can't do this, because once she is pregnant, she must leave Li Yuntian's side, which is a scene she doesn't want to see: Li Yuntian has every opportunity, so the position of adjutant will definitely not be reserved for her, and there will definitely be a new person to replace her.

In fact, after returning from the Western Regions, Lei Ting looked for Lin Xin and wanted her to start a family, after all, Lin Xin's age was not young, but Lin Xin found an excuse to refuse, and she was really reluctant to leave Li Yuntian.

Lei Ting just mentioned it, and did not urge Lin Xin to marry, to be honest, she was quite willing for Lin Xin to stay by Li Yuntian's side, Lin Xin had perfectly taken over the position of adjutant after she left, and it was not easy to find someone to take over Lin Xin's class.

In addition, how could Lei Ting not know Lin Xin's thoughts, so she had already found Zhou Yuting in private, and was ready to wait for Li Yuntian to return to Beijing from Jiangnan to handle the family affairs between the two, and let Li Yuntian marry Lin Xin as a concubine.

The reason why Lin Xin was able to become the concubine of the Zhongwang Mansion was due to her status as the lord of the Ryukyu Kingdom, otherwise she would not have the title of the imperial court.

For Zhou Yuting, she naturally hopes that Lin Xin will become "her own person", so that she can hand over Li Yuntian to Lin Xin with peace of mind, and Lin Xin can also use it wholeheartedly on Li Yuntian.
