Outside the east pass of Guangzhou City, in a dirt courtyard at the foot of the mountain, Fan Jin was worried for a moment, and finally reached out and knocked on the door.

"Ah Jin!"

"Jin Zai!"

"Brother!"

The old father and mother trembled and greeted him, as well as the thirteen or fourteen-year-old little sister, and the family was teary-eyed.

"Daddy! Mother! The child is not filial, and he will not be able to serve you for more than a year......"

Fan Jin knelt on the ground and cried, only to feel that the fear of more than a year had finally dissipated.

"Didn't the child send back the money? Daddy, mother, and Xiaolian, why are you still looking like this? ”

"Although the disaster has passed, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be a next time, all the silver has to be collected, we poor people, we can cope with it."

"Hey...... Mother, the children are different now, I am afraid that they will cause trouble to you. The child still has a lot of silver on him, eat and dress well, don't bury it in the ground. ”

"That's not possible, even if you don't prevent trouble, you have to prepare for your marriage. Although we are not in the city of Guangzhou, we are not in the countryside, and we can't let our in-laws talk about marriage in the future. ”

"Dad, the child still has a big future, don't worry about these little things."

"Yes, my brother is going to be lifted! I knew it! ”

The family babbled and walked into the courtyard hand in hand.

In a certain courtyard in Shangjiufu in the west of Guangzhou City, Li Xi was also talking about going home.

"Jin Ling, go back and take a look at Pan Shiyu, and then bring Yin Ling back to Liannan, I guess you won't have much time to go there in the future."

Pan Jinling was overjoyed because he came to Guangzhou more than a month later, but he forced it not to show it on his face, and when he heard this, his heart suddenly darkened. Yes, it's time for the silver bell to fall back to the roots, and then ...... As for herself, her family's leprosy hall in Dongguan has long been burned down by her neighbors as a bad place.

Then she cheered up again, Li Xi asked her to rebuild the good hall in this remote place in Xiguan, and she had no regrets in this life. Pan Yinling can return to her roots, and she has long regarded the man in front of her, who is three or four years younger than him, as her roots, and she only hates ...... The noise of ding-dong disrupted her thoughts, and outside the courtyard, bricklayers were busily pushing the walls to the ground. At present, this village, along with a few acres of land and houses nearby, has been bought by Li Shi, and in the future, a new industry will be erected here that has never been seen in this era.

After talking to An Jinzhi in detail before, Li Xi had a clearer understanding of the matter of maritime trade. Haimao is directly under the nose of the court, and it is also the golden rice bowl of the gods of Guangzhou, just like An Jinzhi, every merchant has a background behind it, and it is not a fuel-efficient lamp. If it weren't for mastering glass technology, it would be difficult for Li Shi and An Hetang to intersect, and this trip to troubled waters was not something he could stir up at present.

Relying on the impression of his previous life, Li Xi had already made a judgment, but now he got first-hand information from An Jinzhi, which strengthened his determination to "settle inside before the outside".

And this is naturally the three things of the people, finance and the army, the wealth has been put on track, and the army has a plan, but the people have not seen much improvement. Seeing that the shipping company had gained a foothold in Guangzhou, Li Xi decided to start paving the way for the "human heart" in the people.

"Look at the amount of silver you spilled, is there really no place to use it?"

Hearing the noisy noise outside, Pan Jinling complained casually, she only thought that she was building a house for Li Shi to live here in the future, and subconsciously substituted for a certain role, and her heart ached for Li Shi's pocket.

"Hospital, I'm going to build a hospital here, and a medical school, Jin Ling, you have to bear the two deans."

This is Li Shi's plan, if you want to win the hearts of the people, you have to start from medicine, and this career is pinned on Pan Jinling.

Earlier, when he was taking care of Li Zhuang's pharmacy, Pan Jinling knew what the so-called "hospital" was from Li Shi, and the pharmacy was just a small prototype. Hearing this, she froze, covering her chest with her hands, as if she was about to breathe.

"Four...... Fourth brother, you are ......"

Then she clutched at what was in her hand to keep herself from crying. At the beginning, Li Shi gave her a charity hall in Yingde, so that she could gather her former patients, and now she has rebuilt the charity hall in Guangzhou, and she feels that it is difficult to repay her broken bones. Now that Li Xi still let her inherit the family business and carry forward this medical business, it is difficult for her to find words to express her gratitude.

"It's not for you, it's for kindness."

Li Xianxin said that it is also for the sake of people's hearts.

After gasping for a while, Pan Jinling calmed down, wrapped in excitement and joy, she also had a heart, and asked half-seriously and half-jokingly: "Aren't you afraid that the emperor will see the strangeness and recruit everyone into the palace?" ”

Li Xi nodded: "Let's just take care of surgery first, let everyone just treat bruises and injuries here, and I will write you a charter right away." ”

He is also worried about this, so he must strictly limit the scope of business of this hospital, especially not to get involved in internal medicine. Otherwise, in this era when science and traditional Chinese medicine are entangled, even if it can't attract the attention of Kangxi Lao'er, it is enough to trigger a raging crusade between scholars and Xinglin. The real role of this hospital, in addition to gathering hearts and minds through charity, has multiple purposes, including training military doctors and building the skeleton of modern medicine.

Picked up the letterhead, looked at Li Shi's rare brush words, explained one thing after another meticulously and methodically, Pan Jinling drops of tears fell, seeing that it was about to be dyed with ink, he shouted and quickly moved away, the originally suppressed mood churned again, and his mouth only said: "Four ...... Brother, how should I repay this? ”

Tears of joy filled her eyes, and a low murmur was sent out by her voice, and a gentleness that was about to melt a solid stone soaked Li Xian's heart. Duan Hongshi's words suddenly popped out of his mind before, making Li Xian's breathing rough, and his gaze at Pan Jinling was also a little hotter, "Do you want to make a personal promise?" The words have slipped to the tip of the tongue.

Pan Jinling turned sideways, lowered her head, and didn't dare to move a bit, Li Xian's strange situation, she had already noticed it, and she pushed it in the bottom of her heart, and gathered into a shout: "Turn around!" Meet his eyes! Tell him......"

Say what...... Do you say that you will repay him for his great kindness? It is estimated that he will only smile slightly, laughing at himself for being too despised for his kindness. But how does he know that what he wants to repay him is not only kindness, but also body, and heart...... The mood was gradually bitten by the sweet or sour messy thread, and when Pan Jinling came back to his senses, Li Xian's eyes were already clear, and his breath was natural.

"What if people don't have that mind, but they can repay their kindness and force themselves to meet them? Besides, I am having a headache about how to deal with An Jiuxiu, so as not to hurt Sanniang and Guan Xuan, I am really greedy. ”

Li Xian blamed himself for his greed, and after a few perfunctory words, he rushed to the next place of work, leaving Pan Jinling to regret his cowardice.

The tidal flats in Xiguan outside Guangzhou are also full of people, and they are building embankments and trestle bridges, and Peng Xianzhong is also secretly blaming himself for being too timid.

"Really want to build that big!?"

After getting Li Shi's order before, he thought that he had encircled twenty or thirty hectares of land was already considered big, but he didn't expect Li Xi to stretch his arm and envelop the hundreds of acres of land around. This is not Yingde, but Guangzhou, even if it is an ownerless wasteland, it will cost thousands or even tens of thousands of taels of silver. The whole world is not the king's land, and the wasteland of no one is the government's.

"Let's circle it first, and then talk about it, the processing of the accounts, following the standard process, from the local households in Guangzhou, and then in the way of absolute sale, the registration file will be transferred to Yingde and recorded on the households of Qingtian Company."

Li Xian thought to himself, when this place prospers, he will be able to make money just by selling land.

"Don't build the house directly behind the dock, you must vacate a large area, and the warehouses should not be so close to each other, separated from each other, with stone bottoms and gray brick walls to prevent fires. This drawing is not good, let Li Zhuang's bricks and tiles come over and do it again. ”

Then he rejected the drawings of the local bricklayer in Guangzhou, and the arrangement made Peng Xianzhong's eyes straighten, and the wharf he made was almost comparable to the foreign wharf in Huangpu. No, even extravagant, Li Xi shouldn't be thinking about investing all the money he made from the rice price turmoil in Guangdong.

"This is the ladder of heaven, if you want to build a ladder, you have to make a great leap forward......"

Li Xian crossed his hands on his waist, and this place that will be named "Qingpu" will be his next dantian. Since the gods of Guangzhou recognized the "shell" of his ship, he had to maximize the value of this shell.

Then he met with the preparatory team of the shipping company that had already rushed over, including Xiang Desk, who was in charge of the Xunhuan banknote customs, and Xiao Xie, who was in charge of the commercial bank, and others to speed up the progress, and Li Xi returned to Yingde with Pan Jinling.

On the way back, Li Xi was a little distracted, and Pan Jinling, who was still looking for an opportunity, also calmed down, she was used to patience and waiting, but occasionally wondered, why did Li Xi look at the river, laughing and frowning, looking a little ...... It's hard to be settled.

In addition to the great leap forward in his career, Li Xi was reminded by An Jinzhi's words, and the sentence "Pan Jinling can be a big house" that Duan Hongshi said before has also been around his heart, not that he still has any thoughts about Pan Jinling, but ...... His life seems to have reached a critical juncture when it is time for a great leap forward.

When I returned to Li Zhuang, I saw Yan Sanniang who was riding a Western horse outside Zhuangzi at a glance. Facing the girl who flew off the horse and had an extremely graceful posture, Li Xian took a deep breath and said those three words.

"I ...... You...... You haven't eaten yet, have you? ”

The girl's face was like a peach blossom due to intense exercise, and when she was hit by those three words, her cheeks were even more red, her brain was confused, and she said such a sentence.

Fortunately, he didn't say anything about brushing or brushing his teeth, this reaction was still expected by Li Shi, he took the girl's hands directly, and said it again clearly.

"Marry me, Sanniang."

Yan Sanniang's eyes fluttered, her breath was unsettled, and she was about to nod when she saw it, but she seemed to think of something, her pupils dimmed, and she bit her cherry lip and turned her head.

"I'm here for rebellion, not ...... It's not for that......"

The girl broke free of his hand, flew on the horse, and with a shout, the horse neighed, and galloped out, and a cloud of smoke and dust rolled up.

"The Great Leap Forward of Life...... Fail. ”

Li Xian sighed, but the frustration dissipated in an instant, so let's concentrate on the great leap forward in my career.

"Sanniang, I won't let you wait too long."

Watching the girl on the horse go away, Li Shi cheered himself up.
