Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

Chen Zhixin looked at Li Chengqian with a look of guilt instead of the previous one.

Li Chengqian couldn't bear to see Chen Zhixin like this. Chen Zhixin's sons seemed to be the same age as Li Chengqian himself. Chen Zhixin was only about the same age as his father, but Chen Zhixin's appearance was much older than his father.

"Forget it, it's better than nothing. Ru An, please register the four of them in person. Zhao Zhe goes and finds Li Feng... just say... just ask him if you have anything to do."

Lu Ruan sat back down and started to register Chen Zhixin's family. The household registration for the four of them was very simple and quick to do.

Just when Lu Ru'an handed Chen Zhixin a copy of the household registration book and brand name, about three or five people poked their heads out of the corner on one side of the Yamen.

Chen Renqiang saw it and became excited: "Are you here to do household registration too?"

After the three or five people were discovered, they had no choice but to come over from the corner. Li Chengqian looked at these people with a look on their faces, and they were as thin as bean sprouts.

"My dear mother, I won't allow me to register as a registered permanent resident..."

With the help of Chen Zhixin's translation, Li Chengqian understood what they meant: "The purpose of registering is to know that there is a person like you. I can let you go if anything happens in the future, such as working, building houses, and farming."

Apparently there are people among them who can understand the Mandarin: "Sure enough, they want me to do hard labor!"

Zhao Zhe just came back and scratched his head when he heard: "Isn't it better to be paid as a coolie than to eat and wait to die?"

Li Chengqian didn't say anything. Li Feng came over to salute Li Chengqian. When he saw the people around him, he didn't call him His Royal Highness.

"Master, why did you call me?"

Li Chengqian pointed at Chen Zhixin's family: "Build a three-story brick-concrete building with a yard for their family. The money will come out of the East Palace. There is only one requirement. Chen Renqiang needs to be involved in the whole process."

Li Feng looked a little embarrassed: "Isn't it good that there are laymen in the construction team?"

Li Chengqian's face turned cold: "You don't need to worry about him, just treat him as a coolie, but you are not allowed to restrict him or do things behind his back. Everything is out there. After Lingnan Road is built, a lot of houses will be built. You The Li family can’t finish it.”

Li Feng sighed: "Okay, the young master is right, but his tuition fee must also be included in the construction money."

The way Chen Zhixin looked at Li Chengqian had changed from contempt at first, to guilt before, to admiration now.

Chen Zhixin looked at Li Chengqian and was about to kneel down, but was stopped by Zhao Zhe. Li Chengqian also helped: "How much Aqiang can learn depends entirely on him. Gu can only help him get here."

Chen Renqiang hugged Li Chengqian and said, "I will fight to the end!"

After Lu Ru'an confirmed that the three or five people did not want to register, she closed the stall and said to Chen Zhixin: "You go back and clean up today. We will open two rooms for you in the backyard of the Yamen for you and your wife to live, and A Yong." .”

"Aqiang will follow Li Feng's construction team tomorrow to bulldoze your previous mud house and start rebuilding it. During this period, you can all live in the Yamen. It has vacated a lot of people and left it empty."

Chen Zhixin took the household registration book and the sign and left with his family. Li Chengqian looked at their backs with a headache: "You said it would be useful to find Chen Zhixin, but it seems to be of no use now."

Lu Ru'an shrugged: "It's probably because the people here have long lost confidence and trust in the government and the court. If there is no way around it, trust needs to be built step by step."

Li Chengqian suddenly thought of something: "By the way, does Baoli Trading Company have a telegraph machine? Where is the Baoli Trading Company on Lingnan Road? Forget it, you have only joined Baoli Trading Company for a few months, and now you have come to Lingnan with me. , you probably don’t know either.”

Lu Ru'an smiled bitterly: "The steward of Lingnan Baoli Trading Company is named Zhao Yuanshan. As a counterexample to the regulations on the use of telegraph machines, it appears in all compulsory telegraphy courses for managers of Baoli Trading Company. However, the Baoli Trading Company on Lingnan Road is not in Lingnan Road at all. It is on Lingnan Road. On the edge."

Li Chengqian became somewhat interested in Zhao Yuanshan: "Then shall we ask Zhao Yuanshan to move here? Or let Baoli Trading Company open a branch here?"

Lu Ru'an shook his head: "You won't move, and you won't come here to open a branch. Opening a branch requires inspection. Previously, Zhao Yuanshan's branch relied on the patronage of the exiled criminals and criminals, but its performance was also at the bottom."

Li Chengqian looked at Zhao Zhe: "Go find Zhao Yuanshan and ask him to send a message to His Majesty. I want five complete sets of telegraph equipment, and students from the Royal Academy who are willing to come to Lingnan Road for internship will also be sent. "

Zhao Zhe pulled out the route map he drew all the way to Lingnan: "Is it too far? I won't be with His Highness for a long time, and I'm afraid that something unexpected will happen to His Highness..."

Li Chengqian nodded: "Then during these days when you are away, I will just stay in the Yamen and not go anywhere. Go back as soon as possible... When the telegraph machine is delivered later, the problem will not be big."

After hearing what Li Chengqian said, Zhao Zhe had no choice but to do as he was told and immediately went to his house to pack the things he needed for the journey.

Li Chengqian and Lu Ruan were chatting in the public house. They were talking about some of Lingnan's future plans, including the construction of some factories and workshops, as well as the situation of breeding, planting and animal husbandry.

Suddenly, a sound came from Lu Ruan's stomach: "Gugu~gu~"

Li Chengqian sat up from the bamboo lounge chair: "Old Zhao! Ruan is hungry, when will dinner be served..."

Lu Ruan looked at Li Chengqian, and Li Chengqianye looked at Lu Ruan, and they looked at each other: "What should I do?"

Li Chengqian thought for a while: "Let's go, brother will take you to eat and drink."

Twenty minutes later, Li Feng looked at the two uninvited guests on the table with chopsticks. Li Chengqian picked up a chopstick of mutton and said, "As expected of the head of the Li family, mutton from the northwest can be obtained from Lingnan. It's so fresh. Ru'an, eat it quickly." "

Lu Ruan had mutton chops in one hand and roasted chicken in the other. He said vaguely: "Eat...eat, the chicken soup and vegetables are delicious, eat, eat, eat."

Just when Li Feng was about to say something, Li Chengqian poured a bowl of rice wine for Li Feng: "Drink some sweet rice wine. This is brewed by the people of Lingnan themselves. It was given to me as a gift. Come and try it together!"

Li Feng tasted it and it was indeed very sweet. It didn't taste like alcohol, so he drank a lot in a short while.

Half an hour later, the meal was finished. Li Chengqian and Lu Ruan chatted with Li Feng for a while and then prepared to leave. Li Feng stood up and prepared to see them off. Unexpectedly, the world started spinning as soon as he stood up.

Li Chengqian pulled Li Feng: "Are you okay, Master Li?"

Li Feng waved his hand: "It's okay, I...I'll take you out!"

Li Feng followed Li Chengqian and Lu Ruan out of the door. A gust of wind blew over Li Feng and he fell down. Li Chengqian and Lu Ruan caught him.

"Come here, the head of the Li family is drunk, come here!"
