Li Qing sat quietly at the back, smiling at the looks from time to time from the clan elders who were having heated discussions in front of him, like a well-behaved and handsome man.

Li Jingtun, who was opposite him, was no longer as confident as before, with a hint of nervousness on his face amid shame.

The discussion among the clan elders was not hidden from them. As the clan elders continued to discuss, Li Jingtun's face became increasingly ugly.

Despite the constant persuasion and inducements from his father and grandfather, the balance of preference among the clan elders gradually tilted toward Li Qing.

There is no way, what he has now is too powerful.

Although Li Jingtun's force has captured a living planet, he is only the third largest shareholder of that team, and Li Qing is the current actual controller of the Jialan Army.

The most important thing is that he has a Titan super flagship and two flagships. At the same time, the fearless flagship that is about to be built will also belong to his name in the future. In this way, Li Qing's strength will be very terrifying.

You must know that the highest combat power of the entire Qinghe Li family is only four Titan super flags and three super aircraft carriers. This is the accumulation of the Qinghe Li family for more than 300 years.

He now owns one, which can be said to have directly improved the status and influence of their family in the entire Qinghe Li family. This change in status will be directly related to their voice and influence in the entire family.

Dividends from the family's total income at the end of the year are real and vital benefits.

On the one hand, there is a promise that I don’t know how long it will take to achieve it, and on the other hand, there is the actual status improvement and dividend income that can be obtained immediately. There is almost no need to consider how to choose.

Without arguing for too long, the clan elders had already made their decision.

As my great-grandfather coughed slightly, the room became quiet. He glanced at everyone present and said in a deep voice:

"Now let's start voting on the strength of our support for the two juniors, Li Jingtun and Li Qing. The first vote is to vote. If you agree to support the two juniors at the same time, please raise your hands!"

After speaking, the scene was quiet. Li Jingtun raised his head and looked at the elders.

The first ones to raise their hands were Li Jingtun’s grandfather and father, and then two other clan elders who were close friends with them raised their hands in support.

Obviously, they knew that it was impossible for Li Jingtun to gain full support from the family, so they instead sought joint support and shared the family's support equally.

But it is a pity that there are too few people who support it. Although they are of the same race, everyone is very realistic. Faced with this situation, everyone supports whoever can give more benefits. It is obvious that Li Qing can give more benefits in the future.

The return will be higher.

About a minute later, Grandpa Zeng said again:

"Hands down now, there are 5 votes in support of this together."

"The voting begins now. If you agree to fully cultivate one of the juniors, please raise your hands."

Immediately half of the clan elders raised their hands in agreement, and then more people raised their hands one after another, and soon the number reached eleven.

"A total of 11 votes agreed to support the full cultivation of one of the juniors."

Grandpa Zeng counted the votes and continued:

"Now for the vote, please raise your right hand if you agree to fully support Li Jingtun, the younger member of the clan, and raise your left hand if you agree to support Li Qing, the younger member of the clan."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone raised their hands.

There is no need to take stock, just glance at it and you will find the left hand that is mostly raised.

A minute later, great-grandfather nodded and said:

"So, the results have come out. There are 4 votes supporting the younger generation of the clan, Li Jingtun, and 12 votes supporting the younger generation of the clan, Li Qing. This vote has decided that the family will invest most of its resources in Li Qing.

"

"According to the rules, it is not yet the fifth year of development, and the restrictions have not been relaxed yet, so we cannot directly support it on a large scale. We can prepare first and support it through other methods at this stage, such as increasing the purchase limit of battleship blueprints, etc.

Wait until the five-year development period is up in about half a year, when restrictions will be slightly relaxed, and then we will decide what kind of support method to use."

Great-grandfather looked at Li Qing and said:

"Whatever you need most now, you can write up a charter and give it to Xingchun, and we will find a way to support it while complying with the rules."

Li Qing clasped his hands in a salute and said:

"Thank you, my descendants!"

Then he bowed to the elders on the left and right one by one.

Great-grandfather nodded and accepted the courtesy, and said:

"Helping outstanding juniors is the way for the family to survive. Support you when you are weak, and reward the family when you grow up. When you achieve something, the family will also be honored."

Li Qing thanked him again, his bright smile in stark contrast to Li Jingtun, who had a depressed face and did not dare to look at him.

Competition is like this, winner takes all.

At this point, most of the goal of returning to the family has been completed.

Next, some details about the assistance, as well as the method of assistance, etc. will be slowly discussed in detail. When the time comes, he will discuss it directly with his father and let him convey it.

Li Qing thought about it and divided the support into three stages.

The first stage is the next half year, and more than half of the year will be the fifth year of Li Qing's development. According to the default rules, the restrictions on the pioneers will be slightly relaxed after five years of development.

Not to mention later, Li Qing's request for the past six months was a full five hundred battleship blueprints, and nothing else.

But when the five-year period comes in more than half a year, he will ask his tribe to prepare a destroyer mother chip for him.

In fact, you can start looking for it now and wait half a year before selling it to him in the form of a transaction.

It is worth mentioning that relaxing restrictions does not mean directly giving money to materials. There will be no restrictions after ten years. The restrictions lifted in the fifth year mean that everything can be sold to the pioneers at market prices. You

If you have the ability, you can just take out a batch of battleships, as long as you have the money.

The market price of a standard high-end battleship is 75 billion star yuan, and one hundred ships is 7.5 trillion star yuan.

As for the finished flagship, the restrictions have not been relaxed, but the restrictions on blueprints have been relaxed. Blueprints can be sold but cannot be given directly to the finished flagship.

As for the second round of support five years later, what is currently confirmed is the destroyer mother chip, space fighter mother chip, and better battleship and flagship mother chips. He did not mention it. Even if the family supports it, it is difficult to get it.

Don't cause any more trouble to them.

Moreover, after the marriage, he plans to go to the isolated galaxy where Lord Senluo sleeps to dig a grave. Lord Senluo's own battle star is probably out of reach at this stage, but his subordinates heard from Qingluan that they are not in the same place as Lord Senluo, so they can

Go take a look and see if you can dig up something good.

The legacy of a star sea lord makes me so excited just thinking about it.

Next, Li Qing stayed with this clan for almost half a month, sorting out all the matters related to the marriage with the Yu family. Finally, he paid homage to his ancestors in advance before setting off again and returning to Jinmen.

Of course, he does not need to personally handle the matter of proposing a marriage. Even the betrothal gift for proposing a marriage is paid by the family.

Returning to Tianjin, he sold all the 10 trillion yuan worth of refined ore shipped from Qinghe, making a total profit of 13.5 trillion star yuan, a blood profit of 3.5 trillion yuan.

Then he didn't leave, but continued to stay in Jinmen.

It is inevitable that there will be something evil in the long nights and many dreams. After communication between the two parties, we will get engaged within this month.

Marriages between wealthy families are like this. If it is some important marriage, the preliminary preparation time alone will take several months, and some will be even longer, because this marriage needs to be announced to other wealthy families. The more important it is, the more people must let it know.

The wealthy families know it.

It does not mean that the other wealthy families must recognize the marriage. The main purpose of the marriage is to combine the common interests of both parties. The other wealthy families must know that the two have united to divide the interests of Zutar, so that no matter which family in the United Human Empire wants to

If you come here to get a piece of the pie, you have to deal with both of them. Whatever you want to do, you have to face both of them at the same time.

Before that, make an engagement to make it a settled fact, so as not to cause any trouble.

For wealthy marriages, there is no difference between an engagement and a formal marriage.

It only took a week from the time my father returned to Jinmen to discuss the engagement date with Mr. Yu, to prepare some things needed for the engagement, to confirm the engagement date, send out invitations, etc.

Then, the ancestor worship and other rituals should have been completed before coming, and the rest were some routine procedures. Basically, he didn't need to worry about it, he just had to follow it.

Time passed and the day of the engagement party came unknowingly. Li Qing dressed in a rich dress and flew to the engagement venue, the Yu family's ancestral home in Jinmen, in a decorated luxury aircraft.

The engagement ceremony was very grand, but only the Yu family, the Qinghe Li family, and some big shots from Jinmen came. No one from other families in the United Human Empire came.

The engagement ceremony itself is only a ceremony to confirm the marriage, not a formal wedding.

At the engagement party, Li Qing met many high-level people in Jinmen...

Well, with his current strength and status, he is an upper-class noble in the eyes of others.

The engagement is actually just a process. According to the etiquette officer's previous instructions, Yu Yuefei, who is dressed up and extremely beautiful, completes the ceremony in the presence of the elders, relatives and friends of both parties, and the engagement banquet is complete.

There are no twists and turns, and no bloody plot.

At the banquet, Li Qing met many of the core figures of the Yu family, but he just met them and agreed to wait until after the banquet to talk about the expeditionary force. It was his engagement banquet and it was not suitable to talk about things.

Li Qing did not stay at the engagement banquet for long. After the ceremony was completed, he led Yu Yuefei out of the banquet hall. She changed into casual clothes and went to the back of the Yu family's ancestral house to meet an important person.

On the way, he took Yu Yuefei's silver-clad little hand to the antique corridor and asked in a low voice:

"Does the old man have any special habits?"

Yu Yuefei, who looked extremely beautiful against the backdrop of luxurious hair accessories, chuckled:

"You are usually so confident, but you sometimes get nervous?"

Li Qing scratched his head and said:

"Normally can't be the same as today."

She covered her mouth and chuckled, saying:

"My great-great-grandfather is usually very kind, as long as you don't talk nonsense."
