Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Hahaha~, Sixth Brother, why didn't you let me know before you came, so that I could be prepared?" In the main hall of Prince Wu's Mansion in Shanghai City, Li Ke was entertaining Li Min very warmly.

    This morning, Li Min suddenly arrived in Shanghai from Taiwan on a steamship, and went directly to Li Ke's house without informing anyone in advance. This surprised Li Ke, but he immediately welcomed Li Min into the hall to talk.

    After hearing this, Li Min smiled and said: "Third brother, why are you being polite to me? Besides, I'm here alone this time, so I don't need to make any preparations. I just want to chat with you, third brother."

    "Haha, Liu Lang, you are a very busy man. When will you have time to come and chat with me" Li Ke's words just stopped here because he thought of Qin Huaiyu's previous intention to help him convey his thoughts to Li Min.  thing, and Li Min suddenly came to see him from Taiwan today. Apart from this matter, he really couldn't think of anything else, so his face was very embarrassed for a while.

    Li Min also stared at Li Ke with some amusement. When he saw his third brother showing embarrassment, he said seriously: "Third brother, you and I are from the same mother, and we are closer than other brothers."  On the next level, not to mention when I was ignorant, thanks to you taking more care of me, now although we are adults, our relationship since childhood has not changed. If you have any ideas, just bring it up with me directly, otherwise we will not  Doesn¡¯t it seem too foreign?¡±

    Hearing what Li Min said, Li Ke smiled bitterly and said: "Sixth brother, I'm not the third brother. It's just that I am the elder brother no matter what. Unlike the seventh and eighth brothers who are younger, they beg for help."  It's natural for you to help me, but as an older brother, I have to ask for help from my younger brother, which really makes me embarrassed to speak!"

    Li Ke also told the truth.  Moreover, what he said was human nature. After all, whether in ancient times or modern times, the elder brother usually took care of the younger brother, but now Li Ke is often helped by Li Min, which makes him already a little embarrassed, and even more uncomfortable.  I had the nerve to speak to Li Min.

    Li Min was also stunned after hearing this. In the past, he only wanted to help the people around him, but he ignored the psychological feelings of the people being helped. The third brother in front of him is a living example.  He must have put a lot of psychological pressure on Li Ke, and the reason why Li Ke wants to develop outwards is probably because he wants to establish a power that truly belongs to him, so as to prove to others that he, Li Ke, is no worse than Li Min.

    Thinking of this.  Li Min let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had to pay attention to this aspect in the future. Otherwise, helping others would make them feel uncomfortable. This was not a good way to get along.  However, even though he understood what was going on, he still had to help those who should be helped. After all, if Li Ke wanted to develop overseas, he would definitely not be able to do it without his help.

    "I'm sorry, third brother. I have ignored your feelings these years!" Li Min first apologized very sincerely.

    However, after hearing this, Li Ke went up and lightly punched Li Min's chest and said: "What are you apologizing for, you bastard? Do you think your third brother is the kind of person who doesn't know what to do? Besides, we are all brothers. Please help me."  Isn¡¯t that what it should be?¡±

    Although Li Ke¡¯s words contained some meaning to enlighten Li Min.  However, it still made Li Min feel a lot better. Then he stopped beating around the bush with Li Ke and said directly: "Third brother, regarding your desire to develop overseas. I have thought about it a lot during this time, and nothing else.  Question. It¡¯s just that I don¡¯t know where you want to go now. Now I have three places for you to choose from, namely Australia, America and Africa"

    Li Min asked someone to bring a globe, then pointed to the map above, introduced the three places he chose, and also put forward the advantages and disadvantages of each place, and finally let Li Ke make his own choice.

    After Li Ke finished listening, he stared at the small globe in front of him with his eyes, and the index finger of his right hand tapped the table very regularly. Li Min, who was familiar with him, knew that this was Li Ke thinking seriously, and in a short time.  I'm afraid there won't be any results within that time.

    But Li Min was not in a hurry, and asked the servants of the palace to buy him a few Shanghai specialty snacks, while he ate and waited for Li Ke to make a decision.  He came in too hastily this morning and hasn't had breakfast yet. He was in a hurry to talk to Li Ke just now and is already hungry by now.

    Just after Li Min had eaten the last soup dumpling, Li Ke, who was deep in thought, finally made some movement. He suddenly stretched out his right hand, then turned it around on the globe, and then shot two firm glances in his eyes.  , finally said: "Rokuro, I have decided!"

    After hearing this, Li Min felt happy and asked while wiping his hands with a towel: "Great, third brother, tell me where you want to go. I will immediately send someone to help you collect information. Then you can make a specific development."  Plan, if you need anything, just tell me!¡±

    However, after hearing this, Li Ke shook his head and said with a smile: "Sixth brother, youAfter meeting, I didn¡¯t decide where to go, but decided to visit these three places before making a decision. Anyway, I am still young and have enough time for me to splurge, so I think  Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you choose the path that suits me best!  "

    Hearing Li Ke's words, Li Min was also stunned, but then he said with a face of surprise: "Third brother, your decision is really good. I will definitely accompany you when the time comes. Whether it is Australia or America,  I¡¯ve never been there. Every time I think about it, Wang An and Lu Hong try to stop me. It¡¯s really¡­ uh~¡±

    At the end of Li Min's words, he suddenly realized that he had told the truth. Wang An and the others were worried about safety issues, so they kept Li Min from running around. The last time he went to Tianzhu, he went secretly, and Wang An and the others blamed him afterwards.  After waiting for many days, Li Ke now proposed to go to Australia and other places, which finally gave Li Min an opportunity to travel openly.

    Seeing Li Min's excited look, Li Ke couldn't help but laugh. His younger brother already has several children, but he is still interested in playing. However, he wants to accompany him to Australia and other places. I'm afraid that's not the case.  An easy thing.

    Li Ke wanted to do an on-the-spot investigation, and Li Min wanted to take this opportunity to travel. Therefore, the two hit it off and quickly settled on the matter, and also made Australia the first goal of the trip.

    The reason for choosing Australia is not only that it is relatively close to Taiwan, but also that Australia has been discovered many years ago, and the gold there has also attracted a large number of immigrants. Now Australia has established several coastal cities, and even  Someone has opened a plantation there, and has initially achieved self-sufficiency in food. In addition, the route from Taiwan to Australia is also very mature, so there is generally no danger in going there. At the same time, it is easier for Li Min to convince Wang  Settle them.

    However, as the king of Wu, Li Ke is also the real governor of Yangzhou, and he is now in charge of Shanghai, so if he wants to leave Shanghai, it will not be easy. First, he must convince his wife Yang, and then bring Yangzhou and  The government affairs in Shanghai were explained, and it was precisely because of such a delay that when Li Ke finally arrived in Taiwan, it was already the spring of the 22nd year of Zhenguan.

    What Li Min and Li Ke didn't expect was that Li Ke's wife Yang also asked to accompany him to Australia because she wanted to taste the lobster there. Unexpectedly, Li Ke agreed, and  After discussing it, the couple felt that there should be no danger in going to Australia, so they finally took the whole family with them. Among them were not only Li Ke's children, but also more than a dozen people such as Yan Ren and Teng Concubine.  , plus the maids and servants they bring with them, a boat can be full.

    At this time, Li Min finally convinced Wang An and the others, but like Li Ke's wife Yang, he could only accompany Li Ke to Australia. As for America and Africa, there was no need to think about it, because those two places were not only far away,  , and it was very unsafe. In the end, Li Ke had no choice but to take the risk himself.

    However, when Li Ke and his family rushed to Taiwan, Wen Xin, Gao Yang, Qing He and others who heard about the incident quit and asked Li Min to take them with him, and the Yang family also secretly encouraged them.  After all, she also wants to find a companion on the road. Wen Xin, Qing He, and Gao Yang have the same status as her, so they are undoubtedly the best choices. Moreover, it will definitely be very lively with so many people going to Australia together.

    Finally, Li Min thought for a moment. Since the third brother and his family have all gone, there is no reason not to take Wen Xin and the others with him. Besides, the brothers and sisters have indeed moved less between each other in the past few years. If nothing else,  The children from several families are a little unfamiliar with each other, so we can take this opportunity to get these children familiar with each other so that they can better support each other when they grow up.

    While waiting for Li Ke in advance, Li Min had already made all preparations. The plan to go south to Australia was finally finalized, and all the ships going south this time were steamships. First of all, Australia is indeed a bit far away from Taiwan.  A fast steamship can save a lot of time.  Secondly, the steamship network that Li Min built in various parts of Nanyang has begun to bear fruit, but some people are still a little repelled by the new thing like steamships. Li Min and his family took the steamship south, just in time to give the steamship a try.  Advertising, which promoted the popularity of steamships.

    It is also worth mentioning that in addition to the Li Min and Li Ke families in the fleet, there is another group of people traveling with them. These people are all steel factory workers mobilized from various places. They will go to Australia to establish  A steel plant, because just two years ago, a large amount of iron ore was discovered in Australia, and most of them were rich ore with extremely high iron content, which was much better than the iron ore in the Central Plains.

    ¡°In addition, as Australia¡¯s population increases, the demand for steel is increasing, so building a steel plant representing heavy industry there has become a top priority.  (To be continued)
