"In short, they can't be treated as animals, but their wages are lower than those in the Central Plains." Gu Qing said again, "Don't worry about the words outside. Some people's food appearance is much ugly than ours."

"Hmm?" Li Ran was puzzled.

Gu Qing pointed to the direction of Chang'an behind him, "Some people don't want to let go of the gold, silver, copper and iron in Japan. Every month, a car is pulled into the Daming Palace. Even Li Chengqian himself doesn't know about this."

"How did you know?" Li Ran asked.

"Because..." Gu Qing said with a smile, "The transportation route from Japan to Goguryeo and then to Shanhaiguan was given by Shangguan Yi."

"So that's it." Li Ran nodded.

"Okay, after saying so much, the East China Sea is about to start the ship. At that time, the Maritime Trade Department will organize your Zhaojun Li family to board the ship. I will not interfere in other matters."

"Your Highness of the King of Jin..." Li Ran turned and said, "I'll just tell you. My identity is not suitable for contact with the prince."

As the two were talking, Wu Mei came with the cake and put it on the table and said to Li Ran with a smile, "Some snacks made by her own at home."

"Try my wife's skills." Gu Qing stood up and left, "I'll go and see what this guy Di Renjie probably has to ask me for."

Li Ran and Wu Mei sat opposite each other and ate a bite of the cake. She looked at Wu Mei and said, "It's so delicious, I really envy you."

"There is nothing to envy." Wu Mei whispered, "It's just that there is a home."

"Home?" Li Ran lowered his head.

"I admire you very much. Sometimes I think why women are not as good as men." Wu Mei smiled, "I think that doing what women should do like you is for their own family. You have broken the rules for the Li family in Zhaojun and become the head of the family! Instead of watching Zhao Jun and Li family decline, you might as well stand up by yourself. I admire your courage and integrity! Sometimes I feel that you are the same woman as me. If it were me, for Gu Qing's family business, I would stand up when I was absolutely necessary."

"So many years have passed, and when I think about my original thoughts, I still feel a little chill. If Gu Qing hadn't been willing to help me, maybe I would have been the Teng concubine of the Li family in Zhaojun who had become others for their own interests. Fortunately, I won!" Li Ran said, "But I won was not glorious. I killed a lot of my own tribe members, and I became a cruel woman outside."

"Have you ever thought about getting married?" Wu Mei asked.

Li Ran remained silent.

Gao Yang looked at Wu Mei and Li Ran talking, and felt some crisis in his heart. Li Ran was a very capable woman, and this woman was very capable. Seeing that she talked and laughed between Gu Qing, she always felt a little unnatural.

He greeted Fan Jian and asked, "Who is Fan Jian, Li Ran?"

"She is the head of the Li family in Zhaojun." Fan Jian replied, "Six years ago, the head of the family met Li Ran, so the affairs between the aristocratic families had become a business relationship with Li Ran."

"Six years ago? So long?" Gao Yang was surprised.

"Yes." Fan Jian nodded and said, "The head of the family still admires Li Ran very much. Nowadays, business transactions between the Li family in Zhao County and the Gu family are becoming more and more frequent. The Li family in Zhao County is also doing business under the Gu family's wings. The head of the family has said before that the Li family in Zhao County will become the first family in the Central Plains except the royal family."

"The first family in the Central Plains?" Gao Yang sneered, "Just with her, our Gu family will become a family in the future."

Listening to Gao Yang's proud words, Fan Jian said again, "What the princess said is reasonable, but the head of the family once said that the Gu family does not have hundreds of years of background like the Li family in Zhaojun. The Gu family has just started its own family. To become a noble family, it will take at least three generations of efforts."

"Three generations?"

"That's right." Fan Jian nodded, "because the head of the family said that he was alone at this time, but he was just a duckweed. When the head of the family wanted to recruit Gu's family, the plan finally gave up, because the head of the family wanted to raise the foundation that belonged to our Gu family. Only after this family had absolute foundation could this family become a family. The so-called aristocratic family was just a big family. Rather than being huge, the deeper the foundation, the better. The Gu family didn't have to be too big, and there were so many branches like other aristocratic families. The Gu family only had a big tree and deep roots."

"Does she and Gu Qing have any other relationship besides their business relationship?" Gao Yang asked.

"If you want to talk about other relationships, it should be that the head of the family disciple Di Renjie is Li Ran's brother-in-law." Fan Jian knew what Gao Yang meant, "The head of the family and Li Ran have only met several times a year, but the head of the family himself is really afraid to speculate on the villain's own thoughts."

Gao Yang was still resentful. Everyone was women. As Fan Jian said, Li Ran was a very powerful woman. As the head of the Li family in Zhao County, she was wise and capable. If she wanted to get married, she would probably consider Gu Qing. From her eyes when she looked at Gu Qing, it can be seen that this woman trusted Gu Qing very much, and she could even obey Gu Qing's orders in some things, but it was strange. Logically speaking, such a woman became the head of the Li family in Zhao County, and she had no rumors outside.

This woman looks about the same age as herself. She is still single in her twenties. Although she is not that good-looking, she looks very aura. Wu Mei also has this aura, but she doesn't.

Thinking of this, Gao Yang felt wronged again. Wu Mei was in charge of the Gu family's accounts. Wu Mei didn't have such aura before. She took care of so many businesses of the Gu family and held the wealth of the entire Gu family. Her aura had been developed over the years. It seemed that women who could do things had such aura.

Gu Qing trusts Wu Mei very much. He can hand over such a large family business to Wu Mei to manage. He just maintains connections everywhere. Wu Mei himself is in control of many business matters. Many shopkeepers in Chang'an say that Wu Mei manages well, such as Wu Mei is born to do these things.

"This time I've been here for a while in Chang'an." Wu Mei said to Li Ran, "Let's go to Ganye Temple to pray for blessings."

"Okay." Li Ran nodded and had long noticed observing himself at Gao Yang.

Outside the hospital, Xiao Yizi was helping Sun Simiao organize ginger together, "Grandpa of the miracle doctor, what's the use of leaving so much ginger?"
