Li Mu stood aside quietly, glanced at Zhao Yun who was eating and drinking, and then looked at Feng Yong who was deep in thought, with a faint light in his eyes.

"If the prince wants to establish a relationship with the Li family in Longxi, I can help."

"Oh, didn't you refuse to sell woolen cloth to the Li family in Longxi?"

Feng Yong raised his head and asked.

"Your Majesty, do you know why I am trying so hard to develop this house in Nanxiang?"

Although Feng Yong was questioning, his tone was affirmative, "In order to establish another lineage of the Li family in Hanzhong?"

Li Mu first nodded, then shook his head, "Now our sixth branch can only be regarded as a side branch to the Li family in Shuzhong. If we can establish another branch in Nanxiang and become the Nanxiang Li family's clan, that would be the best.

"

"But even so, for the Li family in Longxi, the Li family's big house in Guanghan County is still the clan house in the middle of Shu, unless the Li family in Nanxiang can get the qualification to go to Longxi to worship."

When Feng Yong heard this, he asked with some confusion, "Why not call it Hanzhong Fang?"

Li Mu smiled slightly, "There is also a Li family in Nanzheng, but it is too declining now. If the sixth house can be combined with the Li family in Nanzheng, it can be called Hanzhong Fang."

"There is also a branch of the Li family in Nanzheng?"

Feng Yong felt guilty.

How intricate is this?

"The ancestor of the Li family in Nanzheng was Li Jiegong, who was actually a branch of the Li family in Zhao County. The ancestor of the Li family in Zhao County was the prime minister of the Zhao State in the pre-Qin Dynasty and Lord Li Mugong of Wu'an."

"Wu'an Lord Li Mugong is the younger brother of Li Chonggong, the ancestor of the Li family in Longxi."

"Li Hegong, the son of Li Jiegong, the founder of the Li family in Nanzheng, was a Situ in the Later Han Dynasty. Li Gu, the son of Li Hegong, rose to the rank of Taiwei and was considered to be at its peak."

"It was only later that the Qiang-Hu rebellion spread to Hanzhong, and Nanzheng was defeated by the Hu people, and the Li family in Hanzhong was damaged."

"The worst thing was the Battle of Hanzhong. Cao Cao's thieves evacuated the people of Hanzhong, leaving Hanzhong almost in ruins. Only then did the Li family of Nanzheng decline."

"However, in the past few years, the Nanzheng Li family has received help from our sixth house and gathered some scattered tribesmen, and finally the relationship has not ended."

When Li Mu said this, he slowed down and said, "The ancestors of the Li family of Zhao County and the Li family of Longxi are two brothers, with the same origin. If they can be reunited into one in Hanzhong, it will be a good story."

Then you can take the opportunity to become the clan member of the Li family in Hanzhong?

Looks like a backdoor listing?

Or is it cross-shareholding and complementary advantages?

Before Feng Yong could say anything, Zhao Yun suddenly said, "I've eaten enough. It's getting late now. I'll stay with you tonight and rush back to Jicheng tomorrow."

Li Mu glanced at Zhao Yun, lowered his head, and said no more.

Feng Yong knew that the old man felt that he was not suitable to hear such a sensitive topic, or that he had no intention of getting involved in this matter.

He nodded immediately, stopped the topic for the time being, and stood up to find someone to arrange it.

After the old man left, Feng Yong motioned for Li Mu to sit across from him and asked, "So, Taigong Li wants to move the sixth house to Hanzhong and make the sixth house of the Li family the Hanzhong house of the Li family?"

Li Muchuan sat upright opposite Feng Yong and nodded, "The grandpa had this idea at first."

Feng Yong listened and realized that these words had a different meaning, "What do you mean?"

"Nanxiang is developing too fast," Li Mu looked at Feng Yong with bright eyes, "Tai Gong thought that it would take at least two to three generations before the sixth family of the Li family was qualified to be called the Hanzhong Li family. "

"But in the past few years, the number of six-bedroom apartments has begun to exceed that of the larger apartments. In many cases, the larger apartments have to turn to our six-bedroom apartments for help."

"Therefore, I feel that instead of living in the same county as the Li family of Nanzheng, which is a branch of the Li family of Zhao County, Liufang is better off from a different lineage.

Li Mu looked at Feng Yong with more and more intense eyes, "I have discussed this matter with Grandpa, and Grandpa also thinks it makes sense. However, this matter is of great importance, so we must be careful."

"But it would be much easier to handle it if we had the support of the Li family in Longxi. So I bypassed the big house in private and had contact with the Li family in Longxi, and I also had some connections."

The development of Nanxiang has exceeded what the family has experienced in the past few hundred years.

Even if it is not completely new, it is still something they have recognized in just a few years.

The Grand Duke of the Li family originally wanted to rely on the efforts of two generations to combine with the Li family of Nanzheng and become the commander of Hanzhong County.

Unexpectedly, things developed far beyond the expectations of the sixth family of the Li family.

Relying on Li Mu's special status, the sixth family of the Li family has mastered huge resources, and coupled with their original foundation in Shu, their ambitions have been further expanded.

So the sixth house of the Li family began to adjust the original goals.

Not only did they want to break away from the control of the Li family clan in central Shu, but they were also ready to give up their plan to combine with the Li family in Nanzheng and build a separate county to look after the Li family.

So Li Mu bypassed the clan house in Shu and directly established a relationship with the Li family in Longxi, just to prepare for this ambition.

Feng Yong understood what Li Mu meant and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Since you have discussed it, have you thought about choosing a place to build the foundation?"

Since he wanted to be the county magistrate, he naturally had to choose a place where there was no Li family hall.

"This is just a private discussion between me and Grandpa, and no conclusion has been reached yet." Li Mu said everything to Feng Yongzhi at this time, "But at this time, I do have an idea."

Having said this, she looked at Feng Yong steadily and said, "If possible, I hope to settle in Pingxiang."

"Okay!" Feng Yong stood up suddenly, "If your sixth house really wants to use Pingxiang as your foundation, I will give my full support."

Li Mu's face lit up, and he stood up and bowed to Feng Yong, "I would like to thank you first. When I return to Nanxiang, I will personally convey your wishes to the Grand Duke."

"What's there to thank you for? You, the Li family, have helped me a lot over the years. I'm just going to retaliate against Li."

Feng Yong's smile was full of meaning.

Li Mu stood up and saw Feng Yong's smile, a knowing smile appeared on his face.

Before going to bed that night, Feng Yong told Guan Ji why Zhao Yun asked him to go to Longxi.

Of course, the impeachment of Li Yan is confidential, and Guan Ji is not qualified to know.

When talking about Longxi, it is inevitable to talk about the Li family.

When Guan Ji heard that Li Mu planned to persuade Li Taigong to move the foundation of the sixth house of the Li family to Pingxiang, she immediately became a little suspicious, "Longyou is not peaceful now, not to mention that Pingxiang is even more dilapidated."

"The Li family's six-bedroom apartment is not available in Nanxiang, which is well-run, so why do you want to move here?"

Feng Yong finished soaking his feet, wiped them dry with a towel, and climbed onto the kang. "It's just a wish, and it's Li Mu's wish alone."

"I don't say whether Taigong Li is willing to do this in advance. Even if he is willing, it won't be something that can be completed in a year or two."

"It's even more impossible to move them all at once. At most, some tribesmen will be moved here first to explore the way."

"But with the example of Nanxiang in front of us, I guess the sixth family of the Li family will not give up this good opportunity."

Pingxiang seems to be in ruins now, but its ruin also represents the void of local power.

With Li Mu's ability and the shrewdness of the Grand Duke of the Li family, it is impossible not to see this.

More importantly, this is Longyou, a place where wool is produced, and it is also a vast and sparsely populated place. With the support of himself, the captain who protects the Qiang, the Li family's development prospects will be much greater than in Nanxiang.

.

The foundation of a traditional family is land, but the six houses of the Li family do not occupy much land in Nanxiang, at least compared to the area in Shu, the area is quite small.

But it's different when you get to Longyou.

As long as you get permission, it doesn't matter if you occupy the land.

Of course, Feng Yong had no intention of letting the sixth house of the Li family follow the old path of a traditional family.

No matter how much land it occupies, how can any wool spinning workshop make money quickly?

A new type of capital-based family will objectively help weavers master certain knowledge. Otherwise, how can we improve production efficiency?

This means that they will relax their monopoly and control over knowledge, and in the end, they will even take the initiative to promote the popularization of basic knowledge.

The establishment of a school in Yuexun by the Xinghan Society is the best example.

At the same time, the growth of new aristocratic families will also continue to expand the class represented by weavers.

More importantly, capital is inherently greedy.

It will prompt more and more elites to look to the outside world, such as the north, the west, etc.

Feng Yong may not be able to see that day, but once the seed is buried, it will naturally take root and sprout.

This can at least be considered as an effort to avoid that big disaster in the future.

"The reconstruction of Pingxiang will be much easier if we have the help of the Li family's sixth house."

Feng Yong lay down and said leisurely.

Not to mention anything else, even if only a part of the Li family's sixth house was moved here at the beginning, there might only be a dozen or twenty core members.

But their concubines, servants, and dependents totaled three to five hundred people.

Naturalization, naturalization, if there are not even a few Han people, the barbarians just want to change their customs, but they don’t know who to learn from!

Coupled with the various resources they brought over and the development of Pingxiang, for Feng Yong, it would save a lot of trouble for both young and old.

"If this is really the case, then Li Muke will be a big help to A Lang."

Guan Ji said in Feng Yong's ear.

"In the past few years, Li Mu has been helping me a lot in Nanxiang."
