After discussing the affairs of the victims, the next step is to implement it. Li Yi will not do it personally, he only needs to get the results he wants.

The other is the next step of the Fuguo Society.

Shopkeeper Tian went to the capital, and he actually followed Li Yi's arrangement.

There is no doubt that the center of the whirlpool in the world will be the capital of the Ming Dynasty in the future, and Li Yi, who has been taking the imperial examination route, will definitely step into this great city, so it is very necessary to arrange forces there as early as possible.

Previously, the Wang family had compensated An Xin for a shop in the capital. This time, Shopkeeper Tian went to buy a foothold in the capital for the Fuguo Society, which was also an information transfer station.

Looking at Li Yi's work style, he likes to be orderly and clear. He is not willing to integrate Anxin and Fuguoshe. Likewise, he will not let the two share an intelligence network.

If power is a strong limb, then the intelligence network is a sharp eye. These are the two things Li Yi needs to master. As long as he masters these two, he will be able to stand where he shouldn't be, no matter what setbacks he encounters.

Whatever changes occurred, whether it was Anxin or Fuguoshe, they would be firmly in his hands.

The four chatted for a while. Li Yi had to rush back to Anxin tonight, so he didn't stay too long. He stood up and left.

Before leaving, he pulled Sun Ce over again and told him not to forget that there will be a college examination this year. If he still fails to pass the college examination and become a scholar this year, Mr. Sun will be furious and will teach him a lesson and not let him deal with it.

The matter of Fuguoshe was a big one, so I finally asked him to think carefully about whether he should study hard for the exam.

Sun Ce also woke up after hearing Li Yi's reminder.

He has indeed been too involved in the affairs of Fuguoshe recently, and has wasted a lot of time studying. Now that Li Yi reminds him, he is indeed a little scared.

Everyone has his own ambitions. Whether he works hard or not depends on Sun Ce's own choice. After Li Yi warned him, he left the attic.

He had just returned to the Sun Mansion when he saw Xiaoyu instructing the slaves to load the car.

A mule carriage was already piled with most of the gifts, and the carriage was already hitched, just waiting to set off.

Seeing Li Yi come back, Xiaoyu smiled and said: "Is the matter settled?"

Li Yi nodded, looked at the gifts in the car, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Why did you buy so many things? An Xin doesn't lack anything now."

Xiaoyu curled her lips in aggrieved tone and said, "I think you are a stingy person and care about money."

Looking at Xiaoyu's bright eyes, even though he knew that she was deliberately making fun of him, he was still defeated and said no again and again.

Xiaoyu then put away her pitiful look and said proudly: "What do you know? Anxin has all the necessary things for life, but it is not as complete as the county town. I bought good rouge, cloth, and...

The Li family's shop is being tidied up, does An Xin have these?"

"No, no." Li Yi shook his head quickly and said with a smile: "You are still thoughtful."

Hearing what Li Yi said, Xiaoyu looked proud.

When Li Yi saw it, he couldn't help but said: "You can be considered thoughtful if you can take pictures of horses so thoughtfully."

As soon as these words came out, Xiaoyu immediately made a fuss and shouted, trying to teach Li Yi a lesson. Fortunately, Li Yi escaped quickly and hid directly in the room.

Anxin was not far from Gaoyang. Li Yi and Zhu Qilong rode horses, Xiaoyu and He Pingmei got into the carriage and set off.

By the time the group arrived at Anxin, it was already dark.

Without alerting anyone else, Li Yi returned directly to Li Mansion in Anxin.

Now that the construction of the new town has been completed, towering city walls have also been erected. Although the area is not large, it has a majestic and heavy feeling, like a fortified city.

Nowadays, most of the people living in the city are families with high merits, and the number of people is more than 2,000. All facilities are complete, and there are opera performances at the beginning and end of every month, which is very lively at that time.

When they arrived at the door of the mansion, Mrs. Wang was waiting with a lantern. She raised her head and looked into the distance with a look of eagerness, very eager.

The thread in the hands of the loving mother, the clothes on the wanderer's body, are tightly sewed before leaving, for fear of returning late.

Now that the wanderer has returned, how can Mrs. Wang not be impatient?

The carriages and horses entered the street and stopped in front of Li's house with a creaking sound. Before Li Yi could get off his horse, Mrs. Wang had already come to greet him.

"Mom, I'm back." Li Yi opened his hood and looked at Wang who looked eager.

Mrs. Wang held Li Yi with both hands, and looked at Li Yi lovingly with a pair of slightly cloudy eyes, unable to look away for a long time.

After a long while, she finally scolded in a hoarse voice: "Seeing that you haven't come back for so long, I thought you had forgotten my mother."

These words were paired with a pitiful voice, like a child expressing his grievances, which was a bit strange.

But Li Yi knew that his mother suffered from frequent hysteria and often behaved like a child, so now she felt really aggrieved.

Li Yi smiled and supported Wang, and couldn't help but said half-jokingly: "Mom, didn't you ask me to study? Why are you now complaining that I won't go home?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang quickly said: "Mother asked you to study, but she didn't ask you to stay away for so long. Why, now you are complaining about mother."

Seeing his mother having a hysterical attack, with her mouth pouting and her face full of grievances, Li Yi could only smile bitterly and said: "Okay, okay, it's my son's fault. I will definitely come back to see my mother often in the future."

Wang didn't show any joy after hearing this, but continued to say aggrievedly: "You are the one who wants to do big things. Mom knows that you will come back less and less in the future. You said you can't do it, so why did you deceive me?

"

Well, it seems that my mother is really hard to fool.

Li Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had to comfort her and helped her into the mansion.

Entering the hall, the old patriarch was sitting drinking tea. Needless to say, it was also to wait for himself and Xiaoyu.

Li Yi took a few steps forward, bowed his hands and said, "Grandpa Patriarch, Shitou is really guilty of asking you to wait at such a late hour."

The old patriarch is now over sixty years old, and his hair is gray all over his face, but fortunately he is in good spirits.

Seeing Li Yi confessing as soon as he came, the old patriarch stood up, helped Li Yi up, and said kindly: "I heard that you kid was coming back. The old man and your mother didn't dare to go anywhere. They waited all day, but...

I didn’t expect to come back so late.”

Li Yi couldn't help but feel guilty and said: "It was Shi Shi who didn't tell clearly, so the person who reported the news couldn't tell the time clearly."

"It's good to come back. I think you haven't eaten either. Your mother prepared the food and put it all in the pot. The old man is old and can't stay up late, so he is going to sleep." The old patriarch raised his crutches and stood up.

When Xiaoyu saw that her grandfather was already looking very old and that she could no longer serve him as a filial piety, she couldn't help but feel guilty and her eyes were a little red.

She stepped forward to support the old patriarch and said guiltily: "Grandpa, let me take you back to your room."

The old patriarch looked at Xiaoyu lovingly and saw tears in her eyes. Knowing that she was a filial child, he couldn't help but patted her hand and said slowly: "It's okay, it's okay. We haven't seen each other for a long time, and so is my granddaughter. She has grown into a beauty."

Xiaoyu raised her head to wipe her tears, smiled and helped the old patriarch, and the grandfather and grandson returned to the yard.

At this time, Mrs. Wang had already come out with the food. When she saw Li Yi standing stupidly, she complained: "What are you doing standing stupidly? Xiaoyu is with you every day, and you haven't seen enough."

Seeing that his mother was jealous of his daughter-in-law again, Li Yi could only shake his head in confusion and put a piece of meat in front of the dinner table.

Mrs. Wang also sat down and looked around. She couldn't help but stretched out her hand and asked Li Yi: "Son, have you taken down Xiaoyu? My mother is waiting to hold her grandson."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Li Yi's breath was confused after hearing these words, and he was actually choked. He danced and patted his chest, his face flushed.

Mrs. Wang was very anxious when she saw it, and quickly stood up and patted Li Yi on the back. The two worked hard for a long time, and Li Yi was so good at it.

Li Yi was helpless when seeing such a mother on the street. He had no choice but to pat his chest and say: "Mom, Xiaoyu and I haven't gotten married yet. No matter how impatient the child is, he can't touch her."

Mrs. Wang felt it was reasonable after hearing this, pointed to the food and said: "Eat, eat quickly."

When Li Yi saw this, he picked up the food with confidence, but before he could put it in his mouth, Wang suddenly came over and asked, "You two have been alone together for so long, and nothing has happened?"

Li Yi felt that his head was about to explode. He put down his chopsticks and said solemnly: "Mom, it's really nothing."

Seeing her son's reaction, Mrs. Wang believed it. She sat aside and watched Li Yi eat while asking about the recent situation.
