Chapter 1886 The Strange Uncle

The princess' uncle was also number one when he was in the capital. Li Cong quickly got the information about Ferdinando. After reading it, Li Cong knew about Ferdinando. He has the ability to talk, but during the investigation, he found that this person has a lot of flaws. For example, this guy will often tell some cold jokes, which will make everyone very embarrassed. After reading this ten According to a few pages of information reports, Li Cong has reason to believe that this so-called brother-in-law is not so good. Maybe it is not that simple for this guy to come here to be the governor.

At the same time, I got the report from Li Cong and Lu Manjia. Now that the Dai family's affairs are basically known, the Tuoba family's coercion and temptation have been slightly restrained. I have to do it myself, but I don't have that time now, and there is already a little imminent, and I can't just watch Lu Manjia just like that. After thinking about it, Li Cong found Wu Liu and called Brother and sister Liu Qing escorted Wu Liu there, but at the same time Li Cong would also ask four Tilachi wolves of level seven to accompany them there, and find an ordinary person to go there with such a strong lineup. Brothers and sisters can't be regarded as powerful people, but this monster with four limbs is amazing. The usual Tirachi wolves are level six monsters, and these level seven monsters basically belong to the level of the beast king. For them, these Things will also be very face-saving. They have seen a lot of seventh-level monsters, but such higher-level monsters are not often seen.

Wu Liu came in soon. Recently, Wu Liu has been busy with the convoy. The food store is constantly expanding, and the transportation team must also be constantly expanding. These are all nerve-wracking things. I heard that they can Going out in an airship to help the young master take a walk around, Wu Liu is very happy for such a good job, but it is not that simple, and many things are not just about this one thing, Li Cong also wants this guy to visit the Western Empire business.

"Master. I don't understand why. Why did we give such an expensive gift to the Tuoba family? This is the third-grade elixir, Mingmu Dan. Even if there are more than one billion silver, it is useless. You Isn’t it sold for tens of billions of silver, what can they do for us if we give them this thing?” Wu Liu said a little confused, Mingmu Dan is not very valuable to people like Li Cong. At most it's just a waste of time, but for many people this is invaluable. He has nothing to do with the Tuoba family of the Western Empire, so why send it to them.

"Hehe, I've been thinking about this for a long time, just take it with you, don't say anything else, just say that I don't have time to visit because I'm busy, and they will understand the rest. Just say that I will go to the Western Empire in the near future." Li Cong said with a smile, each of these high-level people is like a human being. How can they not understand these things? They will chew every word several times. These people will understand it, that is, people like Wu Liu. So many things.

"Well, you have a lot of money, I can't help it. I'll go now. Anyway, I can take an airship. This is something that can only be done once with hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. This is the Western Empire. This time I can sleep in the sky. , Anyone would be happy with such a good thing." The guy said with a smile.

He ran out immediately, as if those airships would not be waiting for him if he was late.

Now the number of Li Cong's airships has reached more than fifty, of which forty are in operation, and the remaining dozen are used there as emergency. In fact, Li Cong's space ring is still There are dozens of them, just because the training of personnel is not that simple, if they are rushed, these people will be sent up. Once an accident occurs, it is not a trivial matter, so the training of this personnel is still very important, half a year is the shortest time.

In the inner courtyard, the princess also heard the news that this uncle came to be the governor, and he was a little strange when he said it. The relationship between my second uncle and myself is not very good, just because I am a princess, I can get along on the surface. The mother always said to herself that the second uncle is different from other family members. The other family members are grateful to his mother, and they all think that such a status in the family is directly related to the noble concubine in the palace. , but this second uncle is afraid that others will know that his promotion has something to do with the sister who is a noble concubine, but sometimes he has to admit that it is because of this sister that he can achieve what he is today. Without this younger sister, it would be impossible for me to enter the center of the imperial court, and His Majesty the Emperor would not look at me highly, and many opportunities to compete with others on an equal footing would not reach me. Thinking about these princesses is a bit uncomfortable. I know how to get along with this uncle.

I remember that when I was still in the capital, my mother’s cousins ​​had a good relationship with me, no matter if they were sincere or fake, anyway, as long as I had a good relationship with these cousins, my mother It is happy there, but the cousins ​​in the second uncle’s family are different. Every time other sisters can come to me to get this and that. These are things that are only available in the palace. If you can't buy it, the little princess has more of these things because of the emperor's favor. It doesn't matter if you give some to the sisters. After all, the sisters on my father's side have so many things just like me. That is, there is no one on the mother's side, but the cousins ​​on the second uncle's side obviously like it very much, but they will hold everything when they leave.

If this uncle has always been like this, maybe the little princess will admire her uncle very much. Many things are also summed up in life. Usually, this uncle will hardly come to the palace once more Yes, even when I was an official in the capital, my mother would bring it back every time she sent something over, saying that life in the palace was not easy, but every time I went to Beijing to check the big plan or something When the chances are high, this uncle will come here once with nothing to do, and teach a few words with a stern face, even the mother has to listen at the side, but when he comes, it is when His Majesty the Emperor is coming, the Emperor Every time I see this, I think that this person is really good for his sister and nephew, so I will give this guy a high look, and casually say a few words of encouragement, and this guy will benefit a lot. My heart is not very good. Although he got the position of governor of a province, he still felt very uncomfortable. If it wasn't for the matter of filial piety, he really didn't want to go to see him.

Li Cong naturally didn't know about these things, he thought this guy was a man of affairs, and went to the provincial capital in a mighty way the next day. It is said that Li Cong's title and the title of the princess don't need to go to the provincial capital I went to visit. But everyone knows that Harman has been operating here for so many years, and these people are all loyal to Harman. Li Cong just wanted to support this guy, so don't be fooled by these old people.

The princess is naturally grateful for what Li Cong has done. This Li Cong has never met her uncle even once, so there is no need to sell him any face. The reason why she went is because of her own reasons. If there is no reason for myself, there is no need to go there at all. No matter what my uncle is, my husband is still very happy for his own sake.

Li Cong is an overclocking earl, and the princess is the highest-level title. Princess Gu Lun is more important than the prince, so this trip is really a big battle, but Li Cong said that this time he is going to see the elders, not to show off his prestige, so he can go out with a few airships, In this way, not only is the speed fast, but it will definitely not lose the prestige of my own family.

Five airships took off with a thousand imperial guards and some of Li Cong's followers. In the provincial capital, Li Cong has his own house and many properties of his own, so going to the provincial capital is not considered a long trip, it can only be said that he went from one of his homes to another, and there is no strange feeling.

It would take at least two days to go from Jiangning City to the provincial capital by land, and that would be a gallop. But if you use an airship, it only takes two hours, so you have arrived in the provincial capital before you had a few words.

The provincial capital has a special place for airships to land. It is the airship base in the south of the provincial capital. This is also the largest airship base besides Jiangning City. There is often an airship on duty here. At the moment, the two airships here are The airship is already flying in the sky. We can't see the governor's welcome guard of honor, but the welcome team from my own home came first.

"Even if these two things want to fly low-key, they can't be low-key." Li Cong said, looking at the airship in the distance.

"Hehe, although this thing belongs to our own family, I haven't done it many times. It's really stable. It would be great if I could go to the capital to see the mother and the father." The little princess looked at the people in the capital. Xiang Xiang said, those married women can’t go back without the emperor’s imperial decree, and how many of them are governed by some rules. Generally speaking, princesses can return to the capital after two years of marriage. For a few days, I have to suffer slowly.

"In the future, we will take this thing to the capital. I can slowly develop my business, but it is not an easy task to develop to the capital, but I promise you that as long as it is your wish, I will do it as soon as possible." I will achieve it for you." Li Cong said confidently, these things must be said, the necessary things in the secret book of coaxing his wife, the matter of Li Cong and Yang Qiu, although the little princess didn't say anything, but in her heart He must be dissatisfied, after all, there is only one man, and the one who comes in is to share some of his love, so how could he be happy in his heart.

Indeed, the little princess was uncomfortable at first, but the husband said that it was because of his own reasons to go to see his uncle, because Li Cong's current status really does not need to curry favor with the governor, and he can say such sweet words. If I was still angry in my heart, I would really feel sorry for my husband, and a smile appeared on my face immediately. If it was on the earth, drivers would definitely have traffic accidents when they saw such a smile.

"Master, we have arrived, are we going to land now?" Boss Cui also followed the whole process, but the expression on his face was not very good-looking at the moment, and Li Cong also noticed something was wrong, so he approached while the little princess was looking at the scenery. a little bit.

"What's going on?" Li said in a low voice, looking in the direction of his daughter-in-law while talking, like a thief.

"Well, something happened. The governor seems not very friendly to us. We have already arrived here. All the big and small figures in the provincial capital have arrived. The governor has not come yet, and our spies It seems that he has no intention of coming here." Cui Boss said in a loud voice, this matter can be said to be a bit serious. You put on airs and didn't go to Jiangning City to meet the Lord and the princess. We came to you, but you didn't even want to go out to greet him. This is too much.

"It's okay, just land. Madam may not think about these things in her heart, so don't mention them later. Ask someone to pass a message to the person at the Governor's Mansion, saying that the princess and I will visit as soon as possible after we go down." Li Cong thought for a while and said. I have nothing to do with myself, but this governor is too nonsense, he really takes himself seriously.

Boss Cui nodded. This lady's brain is very smart. Such things must be understandable. Do you think you can get by without saying anything? It's simply impossible, they wouldn't be that stupid.

There was a sea of ​​people outside the airship, Li Cong easily didn't come here from Jiangning City, let alone followed the princess. So basically everyone in this city has come, as long as they have a certain status, but at the moment, everyone's faces are not very natural, and they all look at the position in front. The highest chief executive, the governor, did not come. The governor, Agui, watched the Earl and the princess walking down from the top, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk through.

"His Royal Highness, Your Excellency Earl. On behalf of the 120 million people in the southern province, I would like to welcome you both. Please refer to Your Highness Princess, Your Excellency Earl." From a member of the second rank, but to be honest, this is really nothing in front of the princess.

"Join Your Highness Princess, Lord Earl." The tens of thousands of people present all knelt down. Such an occasion is unspeakably serious, but everyone is a little bit drummed in their hearts. They all know that the earl has a very fierce temper, and he has such a powerful master. It will not be so easy to handle if it happens on the spot .

"Governor, please, my lords, this visit is purely a private visit. It does not involve any official matters, so you should not make such a big fight." Li Cong said with a smile, his face was full of I can't see any displeasure at all, but the face of the princess on the side is not very happy. This uncle is also true. He may not give his own face, but he will not give his man's face. What kind of thing is this? It's okay not to give yourself face, but not for your own man's face.

"The Earl is really approachable. We all miss the Earl very much. We are also friends with the Earl. Does the Earl think that we are not friends with the Earl?" the governor Agui said with a smile. Erman's right-hand man, the relationship with Li Cong was not very good in the past, but it was not a bad one. Now Harman is no longer the governor here, if he still stays at that time before I will definitely suffer a loss, that's why I sold Li Cong so well. This guy also knows some reasons why Harman transferred him away.

"Hehe, of course we are friends, and we are still very good friends. There is no doubt about it. This is good. We didn't want to make such a big noise when we came here. Now you can stay with us, Lord Governor. Just let others leave, don’t let so many people lose their normal life and work because of our arrival, it’s not good.” Li Cong pointed to the people around him and said, one by one They all nodded with a smile. They always hope that they can curry favor with the young upstart in front of them. Those who have a daughter at home can't wait to send it forward, even if it is an unnamed one.

"Yes, yes, this subordinate will do it immediately, please wait a moment, Lord Earl." Agui also heard the meaning of Li Cong's words, this is to talk to himself alone, it seems that sometimes he is lucky Well, although I am the number two person in this province, to be honest, I have not been very successful in my life. It took me sixty years to get to this position, but when it was worth it, it was because of that guy Harman It is really too strong, so some of my political opinions have not been given any play at all, even the people in the governor's office may not be able to obey my orders, they all listen to me on the surface, but secretly The people in Harman also thought about adapting these things, but after several failures, Mr. Agui no longer had that idea, and he should just be his second in command honestly, and whatever the first in command says, The result of this is that the entire province only knows that there is a governor's mansion but not that there is a governor's office.

The princess knew that Li Cong must have serious business here. Anyway, the governor's wife and several wives also came over there. Although the princess doesn't like these entertainments, she has no other place to go now, so she just went to chat with them.

Soon the people here dispersed, and they all wanted to stay to see what was going on, but they all knew what their status was, so they should be here because they wanted to be here. You have to wait until you reach that level, and the governor can also be a reminder to the earl or something. I can't even keep up with the governor's urging, so I should hurry up and get out.

The airship base also has a special place for rest. Li Cong naturally has his own VIP room. Basically, no one is entertained here, but everything here is prepared. Governor Agui thinks that I can also be regarded as a person who can enjoy it. Although the former governor Harman would limit his rights, he absolutely doesn't care about himself when it comes to having fun, and he also gave himself the best enjoyment. So Agui thought that she had seen the world, but she was still dumbfounded.

This room is about one hundred square meters. Agui has seen such a place before, but the floors in this room are all made of the most precious sandalwood. You must know that these things are sold by nobles in the provincial capital In China, it is just to make some small pendants or something. It is impossible to manufacture furniture on such a large scale, which is really too extravagant. I'm looking at the cups for drinking tea. Many rich people use pure gold, but compared to the one in front of them, those things are like shit. All of them are made of jade. Agui's hands He also wears a super-grade jade finger ring, which is the most valuable thing in his whole body. At the beginning, a businessman asked him to do business and gave it to him, saying that it was worth more than 800,000 taels of silver, but now, the two sets of tea sets sent by the beautiful maid turned out to be of special grade jade. It is very clear that such two sets cost at least three million taels of silver. It is definitely not a legend that the earl's mansion is so rich. Seeing Agui's shock, this is just a temporary break for Li Cong, then Li Cong's home...

In fact, Li Cong's home is really not that luxurious, and Li Cong doesn't like to use these things. Li Cong uses some common things in the place where he lives, and Li Cong doesn't think that there is any benefit if things are precious. But here is for receiving guests, and there are all kinds of people to meet, so we have to do a good job here. In fact, the airship base is very close to Li Cong's mansion in the provincial capital. It can be said that this is Li Cong's official residence. It's the place to meet the guests, the governor Agui is the first guest to come in after repairing here.

"Sit down, Governor, you don't have to be so polite. To be honest, it's my first time here. I don't know where some things are. Drink tea. If you need any snacks, just ask them to bring them in." Li Cong said with a smile.

"The Earl's room is really luxuriously decorated, and I will never have such a room in my life." Agui said enviously, Li Cong could see a lot from this guy's eyes Greed, the southern provinces need to be in his own hands sooner or later. What Li Cong wants is to really be in his own hands, not on the surface as it is now, but in fact there will still be many things that are wrong. This person can be your best spokesperson.

"This is no problem. If the governor likes someone, I can ask the people below to repair it for you." Li Cong pointed to the surroundings and said that the total cost of this reception room was as high as 45 million taels of silver. Cong's words directly made Agui dumbfounded. He has seen rich people and people who can spend money, but those rich people who can spend money seem to be nothing compared to Li Cong.

"I don't need this. I'm so busy every day that I don't have time to enjoy these things. I'd be very happy as long as the Earl can invite me to have a cup of tea when he comes to the provincial capital. Speaking of which, the Governor is also coming today. Later, it seemed that I didn’t come here for some reason. I heard that it seemed to be because of family reasons. Please forgive me. The governor just came here. It’s a guest. There are too many things to care about." Governor Agui said while drinking the expensive cloud tea and "helping" Governor Ferdinando here, if Ferdinando heard it, he would definitely come and grab this guy by the neck , beat hard, are you speaking for me, why don't you kill me. Let Li Cong know that I didn't come to greet him because of some trivial matters at home. How can I meet Li Cong in the future.

Li Cong smiled, this Agui is still a bit impatient, now is a time to test each other, and he has already started to attack the governor, this guy is really superficial, so what if you say that Well, will I tell you that I will support you against the governor? Don't say that you are a lord with little effort. Even if I really have the right, it is impossible to do this, this will definitely come true. At that time, even with all my mouth, I can't tell the reason.

"The governor should know that the new governor belongs to my brother-in-law. If you tell me about this, don't you be afraid that I will tell the governor? The governor and the governor have always been at odds, but I know that in Ha When Governor Erman was here, you didn't have so many things to do, I don't know why you have become more courageous recently, why is that?" Li Cong asked sharply, his face was gone. Smiling, Agui was so scared that he didn't hold the super jade teacup in his hand, and dropped it on the ground, but the super jade is hard. Absolutely can't see it at all, but it's not the same as those nephrite jade.

"My lord, I'm damned, I made a mistake, I beg you to give me one more chance..." The words of begging for mercy kept coming out of Agui's mouth, this guy also wanted to flatter, who knew This flattery was not done well. When it came to the horseshoe, Li Cong would definitely be angry because the governor didn't come to welcome him. Who knew that he didn't have that idea in his heart at all, which made Agui unable to say what he said next, and he showed his own Thinking about it, people think differently from me. it's embarrassing...

"Hey, what is the governor doing?" Seeing Agui kneeling in front of him, Li Cong didn't get up to help him, but continued to say, "I'm just talking casually. The future of the governor is still in my own hands. , I am in the south, and there will always be some places in this provincial capital that will be unstable. Now most of the people in the provincial capital are subordinates of the former Governor Harman. I think these people have been a little impetuous recently. They seem to be a little It looks like I can't figure it out, I don't have time to go around in circles with them, now I should find someone to integrate them all." Li Cong said thoughtfully, and Agui's eyes lit up when he heard these words.

This is the result I want. Agui's face is full of excitement. This kind of thing has finally come to him. Li Cong's anger before is definitely a superficial phenomenon. In fact, the real thing is that Li Cong is really dissatisfied with the governor. , I think Li Cong can still be satisfied, otherwise this sentence would not be said in front of my face.

"What the earl said is too true, but this person is not very easy to find." Agui was already very happy in his heart, but he couldn't show his desire for full strength on the surface. Such a conversation might make Li Cong I feel too powerful.

"Forget it, that's what I said. In fact, I also feel that this person is not very easy to find. You know that this person is actually very difficult to see clearly. I should observe it for a while. This matter It's not too urgent, I just feel that Ferdinando may also win over these people, and it will be too late for us to do it." Li Cong said helplessly, if you don't stand up and wait for me to say it, How is that possible? Li Cong has already grasped this guy's psychology, so he would naturally say this. It would be too much for this guy to stand up automatically.

It's a simple matter, this guy can't bear to provoke this guy in just a few words, he also wants to go up, how could he give up such an opportunity.

"Wait, Lord Earl..." Agui seemed a little hesitant to speak, which was really funny.

"Is there anything else you want to do, Governor? If not, I think I should pay a visit to the Governor." Li Cong made a move to leave, just to make this guy anxious, seeing that this guy is like an ant on a hot pot , I am also very happy in my heart.

"My lord earl, please stay. I still have something to do. I don't know if the candidate the lord earl mentioned is acceptable. There is no good chance, and now I also hope that the Earl can support me, and if I can master this place in the future, I will listen to the Earl." After saying these words, Agui seemed to be exhausted. I have never thought about such a surrender in my life, but I can't do it today, I don't know if I can have another opportunity like this in my life, if I don't seize this opportunity, I may be really There is no hope, thinking that I can say all these things that I can't usually say here, and Li Cong is very satisfied with these words.

"The governor is very suitable for this candidate. I am also very satisfied. I originally wanted the governor to collect these powers. If the governor can do a good job, I will definitely support him with all my strength." Li Cong He said with a smile, it cannot be said that it is an easy task to subdue this guy, not to mention his ability to handle affairs, but his disposition is fine.

"Is the Earl dissatisfied with the current Governor?" Agui asked boldly, as if he was already someone who could have a heart-to-heart conversation with Li Cong. Li Cong had no objection to such a direct inquiry. of.

"No, I am very frank in doing things. Frankly speaking, there may be many things in the process. The reason why I asked you to subdue these forces is not to let him, but actually because there is no backstage behind you. I If I support you, I may be your biggest backer, and there are huge forces behind that guy. I don’t have the energy or the ability to fight against those forces in the capital. But in the southern province I still have to have my own right to speak in this one-third of an acre of land." Li Cong said very directly, and it was also the correct answer, and Agui was very satisfied. The reason why people use him is because there is nothing behind him. Power, this is what others need, and it was my own disadvantage in the past. Looking at it now, it is also my own advantage. In the past, Harman relied on the background of the right minister to do whatever he wanted. Although I am not at his level now, I can still show my ability.

"Thank you Earl for your appreciation. I dare not say anything else. I have also been running my own network over the years. Up to now, it has formed a small-scale and low-grade network, but it is absolutely useful. The relationship network can integrate the power left by the former Governor Harman within half a month." Agui said confidently, such a person is a mediocre person when he has no chance, but as long as If you give such people a chance, they will do very well.

"Very good, Lord Governor, I really buried you in the past, just don't worry, I will never give up on anyone, as long as this person is useful to me, then all he gets now will be one. Those who have a higher level of pursuit, the governor said that he has dedicated himself to the empire for decades. Up to now, the empire has not given a knight title. This is really inappropriate. I will send an application to the empire. There are still some contacts in the empire." Li Cong wrote his first check. For an earl like Li Cong, such a title has no effect, but for Agui, it is completely different. People in the empire can be officials and do business, but if you want to become a noble, you can only do it through merit. Regardless of the fact that a knight is the lowest title, it is not that simple to get it. In the past, Agui was very envious of Harman having a title of knight, and he envied him very much. With this title, it can be said that no matter whether he is in this position or not, he can say that he has an ultimate title in his life. home.

"Thank you Earl, my subordinates will definitely be devastated by the Earl's affairs..." Agui was really touched at the moment, he had seen many bosses throwing olive branches to him, but none of them It's so real. They also have requirements for themselves when they talk to themselves. They all hope that they can do things first, but Li Cong is different from those people here. They give a reward first and then let themselves do things. Such a master can be said to be absolutely It is rare, no wonder Agui was moved to tears.

"Don't be so emotional. In fact, you should have this title a long time ago. I will ask someone to finish it as quickly as possible. Regarding the new governor, you should have met him. How do you feel? "At this moment, Li Cong is not in a hurry to leave. He has nothing to do with the wife-in-law who hasn't met yet, but since this person didn't come to greet him today, he can see whether the two can become enemies in the future. It's easy to say, but they will definitely not be friends. People who don't respect themselves don't need to be friends. Even if they become friends in the future, they will definitely not be the kind of friends who can talk to each other. It is very likely that they will use each other.

"The new governor, Mr. Ferdinando, has been here for about four days. During these four days, he didn't meet anyone. If someone came to visit, he said that it was inconvenient to meet guests after a long journey, so he stayed at home. Rest, by the way, his new home is also the official residence of the former governor. I have only met this governor once, and it seems that it is not very easy to talk to. Contact, there is nothing to talk about." Agui thought about the news from the Governor's Mansion these days, all the people in the Governor's Mansion were brought from the capital, so it can be said that there is no need for a handyman here. It's not that simple to find any useful news, at least for now I don't have any useful news.

"Well, it turned out to be a strange person. Forget it, don't think about it. Anyway, you can see this person in a while. You just go to your business. I will stay quietly for a while." Li Cong looked at it Time said, now the princess's side is almost over, Agui nodded and said goodbye to Li Cong and went out.

Not very talkative? This should be the evaluation given by Agui. My wife didn't tell me much about this uncle along the way. It seems that the relationship between the two should be bad. Today, I made such a statement for Lao Tzu again. If I don't give you a little ugly, I really think I'm easy to bully.

Soon the princess also ended the conversation with the ladies. In fact, women are all men's accessories. No matter how high-level women are, they all look at the man's side and finish talking, and their side will end immediately. Well, just now, no matter how happy the topic is, I won't say much. If there is no end here, I will talk more about boring topics for a while, to create time for my man. (To be continued.
