Hearing what Li Yi said, the old patriarch, Zhang San and Zhu Qilong all opened their mouths in surprise.

Everyone thinks that Li Yi has a benevolent heart and spends his own money and food to relieve the victims. They really did not expect that while relieving the victims, Li Yi actually had such an amazing plan.

Both Zhang San and the old patriarch knew his plan, so they naturally wanted to do more things to prepare for the future.

Having a plan means having a goal, and having a goal can unite all the forces into one, and save a lot of trouble. The purpose of Li Yi's return this time is to inject Anxin's strength into disaster relief and future planning.

After explaining the matter, Li Yi went to find *.

This time the disaster relief was of great importance. Neither the imperial court nor the big officials and gentry would take any action. It would be difficult for Anxin and Fuguoshe alone to support it independently. If someone did not do well, it would be very likely that all the family fortune that had been accumulated with great difficulty would be wiped out. Therefore, Li

Yi must rely on other forces.

And this power is Momen.

The noble moral character of the members of the Mo family is undoubtedly very noble, sacrificing their lives for righteousness, and not paying back the heel. With their superb technology and tradition, they also have strong abilities. Li Yi wants to organize and resettle so many victims this time. No one can compare with the experienced Mohist family.

More suitable.

Originally, An Xin still had Chen Hongyan, the core of the Mohist family, but later he followed the Mohist giant to the capital. Two months have passed and he still has not returned.

Regarding Chen Hongyan's whereabouts, * should know.

What Li Yi went to this time was a place called Migratory Bird Bay next to Baiyangdian, where Wei Zhongxian's manor was built.

There was a lot of turmoil in the construction of this manor at the beginning. Wei Zhongxian used this big action to show himself that he would stay outside Anxin honestly for personal enjoyment. Such an old eunuch, even if he is incognito

While saving your life, you will never forget to enjoy it.

Also, troubled times are coming, you are old and frail, who knows how long you can live, just be happy.

Li Yi arrived at the manor where migratory birds were playing. Looking from a distance, he could only see a large village with red bricks and black tiles appearing in front of him among the shrubs and mountains. The style was somewhat Anhui style. Although it was simple, it was majestic and majestic.

After dismounting and walking, Li Yi arrived at the door and felt sharply that someone was peeping around the manor.

Of course, with Wei Zhongxian's methods, these people are definitely not other people, but the guards in his hands.

Li Yi ignored him and stepped forward directly. At this time, a fair-skinned man came over, raised his hands and asked: "It's really rare for Mr. Li to come here. Please come in quickly."

This fair-skinned man was Hou Ji, whom Li Yi had met before, and was Wei Zhongxian's confidant.

Li Yi cupped his hands and said, "Brother Hou Ji was a foresight and knew that Yi was coming."

Hou Ji smiled like a woman, full of charm, and said in a soft voice: "There is a prophet there. Just walking in the rivers and lakes will inevitably attract their prying eyes. My father-in-law always sends the guards two miles away, and is always ready to move to other places.

That’s why we know Mr. Li’s arrival.”

Li Yi nodded with a smile and said: "Brother Hou Ji, please rest assured that there are not only top-notch Jin Yiwei masters in Anxin Land, but also iron soldiers to protect them. Outsiders will be discovered and arrested soon after entering."

"With Mr. Li under your protection, we will naturally feel at ease. Mr. Li, please come in quickly. Jiu Qiansui is impatient." Hou Ji stepped aside and led Li Yi in.

The courtyard walls were high just now, so Li Yi didn't see the layout of the manor clearly, but now that he came in and took a look, he was secretly stunned.

After passing a small courtyard, going straight inside is a garden with a pond, flower beds, koi and flying birds, surrounded by large courtyards on three sides, with simple green bricks, just like a southern garden.

"This father-in-law is quite capable. He was able to build such a manor in such a short time." Li Yi could not help but marvel.

Hou Ji sneered and said: "Thanks to the superb craftsmen sent by Mr. Li and the orderly work of the migrant workers, it was able to be completed so quickly. But the most complicated thing is the furnishings inside. I am afraid it will take half a year to complete the decoration."

It looks grand on the outside and gorgeous on the inside. It is true that such a village needs to be renovated for half a year.

Li Yi was not very curious about architecture. In recent days, it was just because of work, so he stopped talking and passed through two courtyards before arriving at the hall.

Hou Ji did not take Li Yi directly to the backyard. Instead, he had tea in the front and reported it himself.

After waiting for a while, Hou Ji returned and invited Li Yi to go into the backyard to talk.

"My father-in-law, he has not been in good health in the past two years. He has to take medicinal baths every day to get rid of the cold. His temper is also a bit weird. Mr. Li will be more patient later." Hou Ji said with a bit of embarrassment.

Li Yi didn't take it seriously. Anyone who fell from the top of power and lived a life of hiding would not be able to accept it. It is normal to have a weird temper.

"Brother Hou Ji, don't worry. I'm just here to pay homage. How can I dare to argue with Jiu Qiansui?" Li Yi said.

Hou Ji didn't say anything after hearing this, got up and went to the backyard.

The manor was completed, and there were many more slaves in it, presumably all of them were Wei Zhongxian's confidants.

As soon as he entered the yard, he heard shouts and curses coming from the main room: "Little bitch, who do you dislike? A bitch bought with two strings of money, how can you pay back the money? Our family is in dire straits, how can we let you do this?"

Are you being looked down upon by a bitch?"

Then, the servant girl begged for mercy.

Hou Ji stopped, his brows already furrowed.

Li Yi then stopped and Hou Ji said softly: "I'll go to the house and report first."

Li Yi said: "I'm sorry."

Hou Ji sighed, picked up the door curtain and entered the house.

In the main room, Hou Ji walked forward with a smile on his face as soon as he entered the room, bowed and said: "My father-in-law, Mr. Li has already arrived at the door, why are you still angry? Quickly calm down, Mo.

I'm going to be so angry."

"Hmph, this bitch has the guts to frown while washing our feet. Don't you think that back in the capital, the fifth-rank official had to carefully hold this sole of the foot. But now that she has become more valuable, does she dislike our family's decline?" Wei Zhongxian?

With a shrill voice, he said: "Since Li Yi is here, quickly ask someone to drag this bitch down and deal with the matter directly without letting such an unwilling bitch serve. Our family doesn't care."

Hou Ji still had a cute smile on his face. He stepped forward to support Wei Zhongxian and said to the guard with a stern expression beside him: "Didn't you hear what my father-in-law said? Why don't you drag it to the hillside in the backyard and bury it?"

After hearing this, the two guards clamped the maid's arms and dragged her outside.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu My maid doesn't dare, my father-in-law, have mercy on me, my father-in-law, have mercy on me." The maidservant cried and begged for mercy.

Hou Ji stepped forward and slapped her on the face several times, which frightened the maid so much that she immediately suppressed her crying.

"You, a cheap maid, have offended my father-in-law and you actually want him to spare his life. What should you do in the future?"

The slave girl quickly said: "This slave girl is willing to be my father-in-law's personal maid, and I will use my body to warm my father-in-law's bed every night. I will never dare to make my father-in-law angry again."

Wei Zhongxian now has a bad temper and often beats and scolds the servants around him. Even his personal maid, no one is willing to do it.

After hearing this, Hou Ji stepped forward to please him and said, "Father-in-law, you are also short of personal maids. Why don't you just keep this bitch and let her serve your father-in-law well and make up for the merits."

Wei Zhongxian glanced at Hou Ji, and said with a hint of surprise: "You do feel sorry for others. It turns out that in the end, our family is the villain, and you alone are responsible for all the good people."

Wei Zhongxian's attacks on his servants did not happen once or twice. Hou Ji had already figured out his thoughts. It was true that he vented his anger, and it was false that he killed someone.

After hearing this, Hou Ji pretended to be pitiful and said hurriedly: "My father-in-law has misunderstood Xiao Jizi. Hou Ji did this because he was worried that no one would take care of my father-in-law and he would be disrespectful. What my father-in-law said, Xiao Ji has suffered a huge injustice.

Can’t father-in-law see Xiaoji’s filial piety?”

"You kid, you are really good at pretending." After such a fuss, Wei Zhongxian was no longer angry and said with a smile: "Where is Li Yi? Please welcome him in quickly."

"Master Li is waiting outside the door. I'm afraid he saw the farce just now." Hou Ji said with a smile.

Wei Zhongxian threw the feather duster in his hand to the ground and said sharply: "You will see it when you see it. We have an old eunuch who has lost his descendants and is short of goods. This is the temper he has."

At this time, Li Yi also walked in and said with a smile: "My father-in-law, you are exaggerating. Your purification is to serve the emperor, why is it out of stock? And if the father-in-law does not enter the palace, how can there be a father-in-law to support the emperor?"

Eliminate Donglin’s rebel attack.”

"Hahaha, that's good. I didn't expect that you, Li Zizheng, are also a flatterer." Wei Zhongxian clapped his hands and laughed, happily saying: "The Donglin Party is obviously a clean stream, but it is the most cunning and rebellious, shaking the country's foundation. Our family's

He is the emperor's eagle dog, so naturally he cannot just sit idly by."

Hou Ji looked at the mess everywhere and said hesitantly: "Will you invite Mr. Li to come in now?"

Wei Zhongxian also realized that he had made a mess by showing his temper. His face turned red immediately, he touched his messy gray temples and said, "Wait a minute, Mr. Li is a big shot. Please go to the front yard to serve tea. Our family will be there right away."

"

Hou Ji responded, glanced at the maid on the ground, and scolded: "What are you doing sitting there stupidly? Why don't you help your father-in-law change his clothes?"

The maidservant was so excited that she immediately got up and served her carefully. She understood that her life was saved.

Hou Ji called Li Yi into the front hall and said, "My father-in-law needs to freshen up. We still have to wait for a quarter of an hour."

Although Li Yi was busy, he still had enough time and said with a smile: "Okay."

A quarter of an hour later, Wei Zhongxian arrived.

Compared to the last time he was in the mountains, Wei Zhongxian's hair was newly combed, he was wearing new clothes, and he was sitting very elegantly. He looked quite impressive.

Seeing Li Yi, he smiled and said: "I have made Zi Zheng wait for a long time."

Li Yi smiled and said: "Why wait for so long? My father-in-law, this is a bad boy."

Wei Zhongxian also knew that he had wasted a lot of time, so he said directly: "I don't know why Zizheng came here this time? Although I am happy to say that I will do whatever I can."

Although he is no longer the powerful eunuch who dominated the government and the public, his old connections are still there. This was what Li Yi valued when he agreed to let him settle in Anxin.

Li Yi liked Wei Zhongxian's temperament of doing things when it was advantageous. He immediately said: "I wonder if my father-in-law has heard about the Yellow River burst and the disaster in Henan?"

Wei Zhongxian nodded and said: "I heard that many prefectures and counties were affected by the flood. But there are many ways to do this, and the court does not want others to interfere. Why, you want to take action?"

Li Yi sighed after hearing this and said: "The victims are miserable, but the natural disaster is coming, but the court does not save them. Yi Yi doesn't care about seeing such a tragedy, so he decided to rescue the victims in Anxin for peace of mind."

Wei Zhongxian has great hands and eyes, so he naturally knows these things, but now that Li Yi has come to discuss, there is a problem. This is a good opportunity to deepen the relationship.

The longer Wei Zhongxian stayed in Anxin, the more surprised Wei Zhongxian was at the prosperity and unity of Anxin. The 780,000 villagers in Anxin all respected Li Yi and obeyed his orders. Li Yi had the support of these people and built the city dock.

Baoding is considered the biggest powerhouse in Baoding.
