Thinking about the problem of weapons and ammunition, Li Yan really felt a headache. He didn't have a military factory, so he couldn't be self-sufficient. He could only exchange them in the system.
"Respected host, there are military factories in the system store, which summarize the three armed forces. You can exchange for military factories and find raw materials to produce independently!”the system said.
"Military factory? Can I afford it? Even if I did, where would I build it? Do you think the Japanese's bomber is just for show?”Li Yan looked at the system in disdain.
This guy was a classic example of someone who could say things without hurting his back. If he had the conditions to exchange for an armory, he would have done so long ago. There was no need to remind him!
At this stage, Li Yan's strength was so weak. If he created an advanced military factory, not to mention the Japanese army, even the national army would be afraid of him!
"Not enough ammunition is not enough. Do I have to sell a portion of my land again?”
Li Yan was having a headache. He had already sold one-third of the Li family's land because of the lack of exchange points. Now, it seemed that he still had to sell it!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
At this moment, there was a hurried knock on the door. Li Yong's voice came from outside."Master, Master!"
"What happened?" Li Yan opened the door of the storeroom and looked at Li Yong, who was anxious.
" Master, Su Clan, Su Clan..." Li Yong winked at him and didn't say anything.
"What Su family? What are you talking about?" Li Yan frowned, not understanding what Li Yong meant!
Helplessly, Li Yong took two steps forward and whispered to Li Yan,""Master, Master's family friend, Mr. Su Han, sent 600,000 catties of food and 150,000 cash. Mr. Su said that this is a small gift from the Su family, and your fiancée, Miss Su Jingyao, has also been sent here!”
" What…" Li Yan's eyes froze, and his face was filled with shock.
Through his memories, information about the Su family appeared in his mind.
The Su family was a big landlord in Xiang City. The Su family and the Li family were family friends. The relationship between the two families was very good.
Fifteen years ago, Li Yan's father had arranged a marriage for him, and the person he was engaged to was the eldest daughter of the Su family!
Previously, since Li Yan had become the commander of the Imperial Association Army in Nanzhang County and his father had passed away due to illness, no one had ever mentioned this matter again.
However, Li Yan did not expect that at such a critical moment, the Su family of Xiang City would take a huge risk to send him 600,000 catties of food and 150,000 yuan. This was simply sending charcoal in the snow. It was timely rain and solved his urgent need.
"Young Master, Eldest Miss Su is at the Li residence, and the Su family has sent so much food and money. If you don't go and see Eldest Miss Su, it really won't make sense!”Li Yong was impatient and spoke quickly, even sparing the title of master.
"No, although I have an engagement with Su Jingyao, it was only decided by the previous generation. We barely met after we were 10 years old. It's fine if the Su family sent food and money, but why did they send Su Jingyao here?”Li Yan asked in confusion.
"Young Master, the Su family's compound is in Xiangcheng. Xiangyang City was occupied by the Japanese army half a year ago. Master Su sent so much money and food. If the Japanese army knew about this, wouldn't they lose their heads?”
As the saying went, those who were involved were confused, while the bystanders were clear. As an outsider, Li Yong could see very clearly. He naturally understood Su Hanlin's intentions.
"I've judged a gentleman's belly with my petty heart!”Li Yan smiled awkwardly.
Just now, Li Yan was thinking the wrong thing. He thought that Su Hanlin had sent people to curry favor and build connections after seeing that he had become a division commander and even occupied Nanzhang County!
"Young Master, let's go back to the residence quickly!" Li Yong could not help but urge.
For Li Yong, Su Jingyao was the young master's fiancée, which was decided by the old master. Although the old master was no longer around, the marriage between the young master and the eldest daughter of the Su family was set in stone. He couldn't refuse it even if he wanted to. The parents 'order and the matchmaker's words were the standard marriage of big families in this era!
"Prepare the carriage and return to the residence!" Li Yan waved his hand and walked out of the warehouse!
……………………………………
In the main hall of the Li Residence, there were two women with similar appearances sitting on two golden Phoebe wood chairs. These two women looked like sisters. They were both very beautiful. One was quiet and dignified, and the other was lively and cute!
On the side, the housekeeper of the Li Residence, Uncle Zhong, did not take a seat. He stood neatly and looked at the slightly older woman, smiling."Miss, I've already sent someone to inform Young Master. He'll be back soon!”
"I'm not in a hurry. Li Yan has something important to do. Actually, there's no need to inform him to rush back!”Su Jingyao smiled. She was wearing a pale white cheongsam, which outlined her perfect figure. Her soft hair was tied up behind her head, and her entire person revealed a kind of intellectual beauty. It was the unique temperament of a lady from a noble family!
"Young Miss, Master Su sent so much money and food, and you came personally. If Young Master doesn't rush back, it would be too outrageous!”Uncle Zhong chuckled, his aged eyes full of praise.
Obviously, in Uncle Zhong's eyes, Su Jingyao was the best candidate for the young mistress of the Li family. She was a perfect match for the young master!
In the big families of the Republic of China, the candidate for the first wife was the most important. Whether it was her family background or her appearance and temperament, she had to be presentable. As for the concubines in the future, there were not so many requirements. She just had to be beautiful!
"Sis, we've traveled so far. Brother-in-law should put down his work and rush back to see us!”On the chair next to her, a woman who looked similar to Su Jingyao but had a completely different style couldn't help but complain.
Her name was Su Meiyi, and she was also a member of the Su family. However, she and Su Jingyao were not biological sisters. She was the daughter of Su Jingyao's second uncle!
"Second Miss, don't worry. Young Master will be back soon!”Uncle Zhong smiled as he looked at Su Meiyi.
"Butler Li, in Xiang City, many people are talking about brother-in-law. They say that brother-in-law is a literary star who has descended to the mortal world and possessed a martial star.”Su Meiyi's beautiful eyes lit up as she asked with a smile.
" Cough, cough…" Uncle Zhong coughed twice and said,""These are all rumors.”
"I see!" Su Meiyi's big clear eyes rolled. She asked again,""I also heard from others that brother-in-law is eight feet tall, has a strong build, and is very powerful. One punch can break a big rock.”
Su Jingyao, who was drinking tea, almost spat out the tea in her mouth when she heard this. She quickly picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corner of her mouth. Then, she glared at Su Meiyi and scolded,""Su Meiyi, can you be quiet?”
"Sis, why are you yelling at me? I'm not being naughty!”Su Meiyi pouted and immediately quieted down.
Su Meiyi wasn't even sixteen years old. She was at the age where she was lively and active!
