Chapter 889 The arrival of the Li family caravan
"Second uncle, why are you here?!"
Seeing Li Xingnian suddenly appearing in front of her, Daohua's face was full of surprise and surprise.
Li Xingnian smiled and glared at his niece: "What, you don't welcome me?"
Daohua hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I'm just too surprised. I really didn't expect you, my second uncle, to come over."
As he said that, he smiled and blessed Li Chenzhi behind Li Xingnian, "Third cousin."
Li Chenzhi smiled and returned the gift: "Cousin Yiyi."
"Second uncle, third cousin, sit down quickly!"
Daohua helped Li Xingnian sit down: "Are you tired from the journey?"
Li Xingnian nodded: "The road here in Xiliang is too difficult, and there are few inns. I always feel that my health is good, but this time I am a little overwhelmed."
Daohua smiled and said: "In the past years, the imperial court hardly managed Xiliang, which resulted in the infrastructure construction here failing to keep up. Xiao Yeyang has kept these problems in mind and will gradually improve them in the future.
."
Hearing this, Li Xingnian leaned forward a little and said in a lower voice: "Yiyi, what do you mean, Yeyang is planning to stay here for a long time?"
Daohua smiled and nodded, thinking: Even her uncle felt that Xiao Yeyang was only temporarily demoted to Xiliang and would leave soon. No wonder everyone else in Xiliang felt the same way.
"Now that I'm here, I naturally have to do something." He said and sighed, "There are many problems in Xiliang. The defense is imperfect and the people live in poverty. Xiao Yeyang also wants to do his best for the people on this land.
My own meager strength."
Li Xingnian nodded and leaned back on his chair: "I also discovered along the way that the economy here is indeed very sluggish."
"This inconvenient transportation will definitely hinder economic development and not attract caravans. In addition, safety is also a big issue when doing business here."
As he spoke, he paused.
"I brought your third cousin here this time because the last time Manager Xiaoliu went back to Yan Mansion to report to your parents that he was safe, your third cousin happened to go over to say hello. He listened and knew that there was no business going on here.
The team was going back and forth, so I wanted to come over and have a look."
"It was just a coincidence that when I returned to Beijing from Guangdong in April, I happened to meet Manager Liu who wanted to deliver tea to you, so I came over with your third cousin."
"We came here this time, firstly, to see you, and secondly, we also want to inspect the situation here."
Hearing this, Daohua's eyes lit up.
If you want to build Xiliang, you can't do it without economic development, and economic development is inseparable from the traveling caravans. Only when goods are circulated can the lives of the people in Xiliang be gradually improved.
Xiao Yeyang's current focus is on defense construction, and he can't take care of other things for the time being. If the Li family's caravan can come to Ganzhou Guard, it will be a big help to them.
Daohua looked at Li Chenzhi: "Third cousin, aren't you in charge of the Li family's business in the capital? Why do you still want to come to Xiliang to visit?"
Li Chenzhi said with a smile: "There are many forces in the capital, and the commercial area is actually almost divided. The Li family can only open a few more shops in the capital, but Xiliang is at an undeveloped stage.
Here, there are more opportunities."
Hearing this, Daohua looked at Li Chenzhi in surprise. She didn't expect that her third cousin, who usually didn't talk much, would be so business-minded and ambitious.
Li Xingnian sat aside and drank tea with a smile without interrupting.
Although Chen Zhi is the eldest brother's son, he is the one who is most like him. Chen Yi and Chen Liang are both capable, but unfortunately they lack some courage. They can protect the Li family's business, but they cannot expand the Li family's business territory.
.
As for Chenzhi, this boy is more ambitious and courageous than his two brothers, probably because he has two brothers to support him, so he has less worries and is more daring to take risks.
Daohua looked at Li Chenzhi: "Third cousin, you have also seen the conditions here. The situations my uncle just mentioned are real. Even I can't guarantee that everything will go well for you here.
."
Li Chenzhi smiled: "Cousin Yiyi, risks and opportunities coexist. If I want to be the one who drinks soup and eats meat, I will naturally have to bear some risks."
Hearing this, Daohua didn't say much, didn't persuade or stop, but smiled and said: "Uncle, third cousin, you guys have a good rest these two days, I'll have someone take you around."
Li Xingnian smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Daohua: "By the way, uncle, you just said you came back from Guangdong, do you know whether my fourth brother and sister-in-law are okay?"
Li Xingnian smiled: "Okay, of course. It's not like you don't know your fourth brother's temperament. With his good kung fu, he is now very successful in the navy, and your fourth sister-in-law is also pregnant."
Daohua opened her eyes wide: "Sister-in-law four is pregnant?"
Li Xingnian nodded: "It seemed to have been three months when I left. After I returned to Beijing and told your mother about this, your mother immediately found two women with medical skills to take care of her."
Hearing this, Daohua felt relieved. The fourth brother must be very busy in the navy, and it was really worrying that the fourth sister-in-law had no one to take care of her.
The Su family should know it now, and Aunt Su will definitely send someone to take care of the fourth sister-in-law.
Immediately, Daohua chatted with Li Xingnian about some things in Guangdong.
"Uncle, the climate in Guangdong is hot and the rain is abundant. Next time you go to Guangdong, you can tell your fourth brother and let him try growing double-cropping rice in Zhuangzi."
Li Xingnian: "Double-cropping rice?"
Daohua nodded: "It means planting two crops of rice a year."
Li Xingnian looked doubtful: "Can it be done?"
Daohua smiled and said: "You will know if you try it. Guangdong has long sunshine hours and high temperatures. Early rice can be planted in mid-to-late March and can be harvested in mid-to-late June."
"It is a waste to leave the fields empty after that. It is better to plow them again and plant late rice. As long as the planting is completed before the beginning of autumn, the harvest can be completed before frost.
Li Xingnian carefully wrote down: "Okay, next time I arrive in Guangdong Province, I will tell your fourth brother about this news. No one has too much food. If it can really succeed, your fourth brother will definitely make a contribution."

At this time, Guyu came in and said that Xiao Yeyang was back.
Xiao Yeyang knew that Li Xingnian had come to Ganzhou City with Li Chenzhi, so he put down what he was doing and hurried back from the guard station.
Li Xingnian is Daohua's uncle, and Xiao Yeyang hurried back, not only out of respect for his wife but also out of respect for his elders.
Sure enough, when he heard that Xiao Yeyang was back, the smile on Li Xingnian's face became deeper.
Soon, Xiao Yeyang strode in with a smile, greeted Li Xingnian with fists in his hands, and nodded to Li Chenzhi.
After Xiao Yeyang, Li Xingnian and Li Chenzhi chatted for a while, Daohua looked at the sky, stood up and said: "Uncle, the master should be back from the pharmacy now. You and your third cousin come with us to pay him a visit."
."
Li Xingnian and Li Chenzhi stood up quickly: "Is the old man feeling well?"
