Chapter 177
Next, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Gu Lin chose an auspicious day to exchange Geng posts, planning to hold an engagement ceremony next month.
The Gu family's dowry has already been prepared, and they are waiting for the Li family to nod and agree to marry their daughter.
Li Yu took some homemade snacks and a few small gifts to Wang’s house to visit his grandfather and grandmother today. He has been busy with training before, so he came and went in a hurry.
Arrived at Wang's house and came to the main hall, Mrs. Wang waved to her happily.
"Grandma Ann, I'm late."
Li Yu saluted and greeted the old man before sitting down and leaning against his grandmother.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, why did you come here?"
"Sorry for worrying you, I'm late."
Li Yu deliberately waited for a few days before coming, so as to let go of her murderous aura and make her mood calm and cheerful before daring to come, not wanting her relatives to worry about her.
"Your wish is fulfilled?"
"It's over, it's been done."
“I don’t regret paying for it.”
The old lady turned her face to look at her granddaughter, her face was full of distress and admiration.
Li Yu pursed his lips and paused for a moment, with a relieved smile in his eyes.
"not regret."
"oh."
"Not for killing, for the world, for inheriting the mantle, and for the family's upbringing."
Li Yuping replied calmly but firmly.
"Good job, then I can rest assured."
Old Mrs. Wang stretched out her hand and hugged her into her arms, "Let it go, if you don't let them go, you won't be able to leave. If you don't feel at ease, you won't be able to rest in peace."
"Okay, this time I... put it down."
Li Yu took a deep breath and nodded.
"Is Yu'er here, did you bring me some good wine?"
Old Master Wang's angry voice came from outside, and people followed into the house.
"Grandfather, I brought you good wine. I made new wine last year. You have to taste it tonight."
"It's new wine, good."
The old man nodded happily.
Standing there to observe her, Li Yu cooperatively stood up and stood in front of him, allowing the old man to look at her.
Old man Wang laughed out loud after seeing it, "Okay, my granddaughter doesn't give way to her husband, good job."
Li Yu also showed a pleasant smile.
"Good boy, you never let us down, good."
Grandpa Wang gave her a thumbs up, with a pun.
Seeing that the child finally cheered up, let go of the past, and bravely and optimistically faced the suffering in the world, the old man was finally relieved.
"My granddaughter is unfilial, which made your two elders worry about me."
Li Yu made a salute.
"Stupid child, no matter how old you are or how accomplished you are, you are still children in our eyes. I only hope that you are safe and happy."
"you say."
Old Master Wang sat down, and Li Yu brought him a cup of tea.
"The Yang family wants to buy the institution of the library with my family."
"Oh, the library in your house is really eye-catching, even I want it. My son told your father to improve our library as well."
"This organization is considered a great achievement of the collective organization. I have to go to the battle in person. If you want to do it, I don't want money to give you one."
"If you have any conditions, tell me."
Old Master Wang has had ups and downs all his life, how could he be fooled by this little favor, his face remains unchanged.
"I don't have enough manpower. I need someone to help me do it together. I also need more carpentry. I can't do it with one person. I'm willing to take a few more apprentices. How much you can learn depends on your skills."
Li Yu saw more problems created by institutions, that is, lack of manpower, more manpower is needed to make more money, and to research more institutions.
"You don't want outsiders to learn it for nothing, and you want to use it to hang us aristocratic families. Good idea, don't say I'm really interested."
Organ manufacturing is a kind of knowledge and craftsmanship, and it can be passed on to future generations. There is no shortage of talents with unique vision in the family. They will keep such a close eye on it when they see its value.
"My own person, let me tell you the truth, the core of mechanism making is in my mind. This depends on talent. Not everyone can learn it, but if you can learn a little, it will be enough for a stable life."
"Well, I believe this. If you want to learn any profound knowledge, you can't get it out in ten or eight years."
Old Master Wang agrees.
The Mohist institution is so easy to learn, everyone knows it.
"Choose a few people for me. My father said to send them to the carpentry workshop to learn slowly. I really can't learn much in one or two years. I can learn skills while working. Not to mention learning for three to five years, such as waterwheels. The living king's family can also follow."
"You are not afraid that we will steal your business. After all, this is also the pillar industry of the Li family. Now that the situation is so difficult, any industry is very precious."
Grandpa Wang looked at his granddaughter with eyes full of admiration and satisfaction.
This child has a broad mind and can accomplish things. Some things others can't handle are not as good as her, but because her heart is not as good as hers.
"I hope this craft can be carried forward, not just for the Li family to exchange for something else. We don't have enough manpower, and if we can't develop it, we can't get better benefits. I have more and better institutions, but I suffer from lack of manpower. Grandfather , Unity makes strength stronger.”
Li Yu looked at the old man, and said calmly, "My wish is to return to the capital and take back the Li family's mansion. It is the century-old mansion of the Li family. I must take it back if I am alive."
Old Master Wang's face became serious. It was the ancestral house, and it was impossible to give up.
"Okay, I can promise you, what do you want?"
"I want more children to enter the Royal Academy to learn real skills. I want the Wang family, the Li family, the Gu family, and the Xie family to join together to form a force that will subdue the new emperor and prepare for entering the capital in the future."
"What happened to the late emperor cannot be repeated. Now His Highness needs the support of the powerful and aristocratic family. This is the best time for us to rise, and the crisis coexists with the opportunity."
Li Yu has a far-sighted vision, and he has studied the situation in Linqi and the capital city in detail, no less than those officials.
If there is such a big difference, how could Boss Li let her lead the troops out of the city? Wouldn't that send the life of the son of the family to the Palace of Hades?
"That makes sense, how do you treat the Yang family?"
"The agency is just a medium of communication. I said that the agency has not been in existence for more than ten years, and you can't understand it at all. I let you come in and learn, and it is not a day's work."
"If we really want to fight in the future, the ballista and the catapult will need manpower and material resources to build it. The Li family alone is really not enough. The opportunity is in front of us. It depends on whether we can seize it."
"you're right."
"The Xie family is also willing to give me some manpower, not only to learn the mechanism and carpentry, but also to help His Highness appease more refugees. We must unite and let His Highness see that we are not only fighting for interests, but also caring for the people with benevolence. That's the main reason he let us in."
Old Mrs. Wang nodded frequently, the point of what the girl said was on point.
"Then how do you plan to contact the Yang family?"
"The government library can be given to him at a lower price. The follow-up needs to cooperate with the Li family to appease the refugees. In the future, the war will also need to provide food and follow-up. In a word, I must stand behind my father and support him. The war cannot be played without food and grass. "
I can't fight anymore, but I can do more things to ensure the stability of the rear for my father and brother, and the food and grass will be plentiful.
