During this period of time, Wang Chuanyao of Diannan State had been officially appointed by Qianjing as the governor of Diannan State. He was in charge of the military and political power of Diannan State. Most importantly, Diannan State was not like Western Sichuan, which was in chaos.
The small warlords in Western Sichuan were even more boastful and disagreeing with Xiong Kewu. Li Yao was not worried about Chengdu at all.
Right now, he needed to completely control the hearts of the people in Guangyi City.
.................................................
In the world of 1690, a great war was raging in the direction of the Xi Yuan Continent. They had to build their military and civilian industries as soon as possible. Otherwise, they wouldn't even have a chance to get a share of the profits. The Sam Alliance on the other side of the ocean had made a huge fortune during the war.
On the morning of October 2nd, the leaders of the Zheng, Wu, and Xu families arrived at the Li residence at the same time. As soon as they arrived at the gate, they saw a row of fully equipped guards. There was even a Maxim heavy machine gun placed in the middle of the courtyard. The few old guys knew that today's negotiations would definitely cost a lot.
"Battalion Commander Li, we're here today to get straight to the point. From now on, we'll keep in touch with Rong City. We'll listen to you and do whatever you say. As for the military expenditure of the independent battalion, we'll support it as much as we can. In short, we'll never take a step west if Battalion Commander Li asks us to.”
In the past week, Li Yao had arranged a platoon of soldiers to patrol outside the three mansions day and night. The hideous guns were enough to make one's heart tremble. If Li Yao was unhappy one day, he might just shoot them to death.
The situation was stronger than the person. The three old fellows were not fools. Chengdu was far away from the capital, and they probably could not manage Guangyi's affairs. Besides, they were helpless with Li Yao's knife on their throats.
"Battalion Commander Li, our three families are willing to take out 500,000 Qian Yuan to buy military equipment for Battalion Commander Li and expand his military strength!!”
When Li Yao heard this, he finally smiled. It seemed that these old fellows were still afraid. It seemed that the bandits had created a lot of trauma for these old foxes.
Li Yao stood up and patted their shoulders as he smiled playfully.
" You are all smart people. You know very well whether it's beneficial to follow me or to pay Chengdu every year. It's still unclear what the current situation in Western Sichuan Province is like.”
"To tell you the truth, I have several projects in my hands that are waiting for your investment. I don't want a single cent of your 500,000 Qian Yuan, but I want 60% of the shares of the factory that I will invest in next.”
Li Yao quickly took out a few blueprints. He had been holed up in Mount Tang Town before, but now that he had entered the county town, the original textile factory, match factory, phosphorous fertilizer factory…all of them needed to be expanded.
"Everyone, take a look. I believe that you are all people who know the industry. You know better than anyone how much money you can earn from these things.”
The three old fellows received the blueprints in a somewhat confused manner. Very soon, the few of them looked at each other and their breathing became hurried. This…
Could it be that the Li family's kid relied on this to make a fortune?
A new type of assembly line operation.
A new match formula.
And phosphorous fertilizer that could greatly increase crop production?？
Intuition told the three of them that the blueprints provided by Li Yao were all real. If they were to put all of them into production, even if they only had forty percent of them, it would still be a huge profit.
Currently, the markets in the southwest were flooded with foreign goods. With the capabilities of the national industry, it was impossible to produce them. Or rather, the things produced were of poor quality.
If what these blueprints said was true, then it would not just be Guangyi. In the future, when they entered Chengdu, they would have a foothold in the entire Western Sichuan. Thinking of this, the three old fellows looked at Li Yao with even more enthusiasm. This was really a money tree. They must follow him, follow Li Yao.
The opportunity before them could make them the richest people in Da Qian!!
"Battalion Commander Li, our Wu family has the best sales channels. I guarantee that this match factory will definitely produce profits within two months.”
"Our Xu family has ten shops selling cloth in the various towns of Guangyi. Our Xu family invested in the textile factory!!”
…………
After the three old foxes left, Li Yao was sure that the city would be stable after today. Whether it was through the binding of interests or military suppression, as long as the people's hearts were in his hands, Li Yao did not care about the blueprints that had almost no technological content.
The real money was still in the military industry!
Li Yao had planned to go out for a while and check the military camp to see if there were any problems with the recruitment. He happened to see an elegantly decorated courtyard, but it was a little too simple. Li Yao looked inside. There was only a stone table and a lotus flower blooming alone in the pond.
This was…
Li Yao suddenly remembered that the person living in this courtyard was his sister, Li Xinyao…
Suddenly, the sound of piano keys rang out in the courtyard. The sound of the piano was too desolate and helpless.
The zither played, but it seemed so quiet.
Only the sound of the zither was left in the vicinity.
Li Yao was just about to step in to take a look when he heard a shout.
"Get out!"
Before Li Yao's left foot stepped forward, he heard the woman's cold voice…
However, Li Yao just smiled and kept walking forward.
In front of the window, a beautiful figure was sitting in front of the piano. She was wearing a sky-blue floral dress that made her face look even fairer.
Two words instantly appeared in Li Yao's mind.
A peerless beauty…
Even these four words didn't match the woman in front of him. Just by looking at her side profile, he felt that this woman had obtained a lot of uncanny workmanship to make the heavens give her such an exquisite and peerless appearance.
Li Yao pushed open the door. A faint fragrance assailed his nose. He also saw the woman's face. Her facial features were exquisite, her eyebrows were thin, and her lips were like cicada wings, which added a layer of enchanting allure to her face.
She was like a fairy-like woman…
Unlike the mortal world…
" Can't I, as your younger brother, come and see you? Sister, we haven't seen each other for more than a year, and you've become prettier again…"
...............................................
Li Yao's gaze only lingered on her face for a moment before he was somewhat absent-minded. Li Yao finally believed in the story of the emperor not going to court early. No man would let such a woman go.
However, after Li Yao finished speaking, her fingers only paused for a moment. She did not even raise her eyes to look at him. Her coldness, a coldness that kept people thousands of miles away, made Li Yao feel extremely embarrassed.
Was this really her sister?
"Since you're back, don't continue to cause trouble.”
Li Yao only felt bored by the cold words. However, he was relieved after thinking about it. He had been such a jerk in the past. Moreover, in his memory, his friendship with his sister was still in their childhood.
When they grew up, they would only see each other twice a year.
The sound of the zither was still lingering, helpless, conflicted, and frustrated.
Li Yao, on the other hand, shook his head. When he left the courtyard, he said,"
"Elder sister, you don't have to worry about everything. Father and I are your family. I will sing a happy song for you.”
In the room, Li Xinyao's zither music stopped abruptly!
