"Uncle, don't worry. However, with this person's nature, he will definitely not surrender to us, but it is not more useful!"

"Oh...Why do you have any plan? Xu'er might as well say it..."

Looking at Yuan Xu's confident look, Yuan Fengchu became interested in an instant.

The reason why he sent Yuan Xu to Qiannan was actually because he planned to delegate power and handed over Qiannan to his only heir, which also contained a sense of exams.

Although he was a little dissatisfied with the fact that one-third of the ore veins in Nujiao County were divided, overall, he was quite satisfied with Yuan Xu's methods.

"Respond to changes with the same change..."

"On the surface, we divided one-third of his mineral veins and did suffer a great loss, but how could this not be a strategy to tie this person up!"

"As long as there is the mine vein of Nujiao County, why worry that this person cannot be used by me? I may have to bow down to us!"

Unlike Yuan Fengchu, Yuan Xu didn't care about the nominal primary and secondary.

With a broad vision, he deeply understood one truth, that is, win-win cooperation, and he can accept anything that is beneficial to him. He is not as domineering as Yuan Fengchu, and insists on others to surrender.

The logic of the two cannot tell which one is better or worse, it is just a product of different eras.

Now it is not just the land of China. The rise of steel and gunpowder, and the entire world pattern is in a stage of alternating between old and new. Yuan Fengchu and Yuan Xu are just a microcosm of this era.

This is a qualitative change that has been precipitated by the human race for thousands of years. In this unprecedented major change, only by adapting to the new order can one survive and the old order will eventually decay.

At this time, Deng Fan, who was far away in Nujiao County, did not know that a shocking crisis against him was eliminated in the silent ideological confrontation between his uncle and nephew.

This is also because he met Yuan Xu. Otherwise, under the influence of this special era, no one in power would tolerate an alien existence like him.

......

"Longevity is approaching, and you will go and send some New Year goods to Li's Mansion and Lord Fei later..."

After finishing his day's practice and using court food, Deng Fan casually gave Ge Changshou a message.

"Go again..."

He quickly packed the dining table. When he heard this, Ge Changshou muttered a little dissatisfied.

Over the past few months, Deng Fan has repeatedly told him to help these two families. Although this little money is nothing to his shopkeeper, in his opinion, it is not a big deal for everyone to rely on his shopkeeper's support for a long time.

"If you want to go, what's the point..."

"By the way, if you have time, go to the county town to see if there is any pharmacy for sale. If so, I will buy it for me and send it to the Li Mansion."

Deng Fan also knew that it would be fine to teach people and fish that they could not bear tolerate fishing. But now the economy of Nujiao County is already in a downturn, and there are only two weak women left in the Li family. Instead of helping them for a long time, it is better to buy some industries for them.

I believe that using Mrs. Li's methods to manage a pharmacy is more than enough.

Of course, there are some of Deng Fan's little thoughts. Although Deng Fan's wealth in several families was not small, it was not a solution to spend so much time like this.

This money is one of the indispensable resources for his practice. Deng Fan originally thought that the family wealth he had shared this time would be enough for his ten years of practice.

But he still underestimated the money consumed by this practice. Not to mention anything else, just developing ointments to replace poisonous insects this time requires hundreds of silver dollars each time. He experimented twelve times and had not yet developed any results. You can imagine the resources consumed in it.

To help Mrs. Li, I naturally have the intention to repay my kindness, but more importantly, it is an investment.

In Deng Fan's opinion, Mrs. Li is a rare business talent. If she can help her and manage the industry for her, she will undoubtedly save her a lot of hard work.

Of course, Deng Fan would not say these little thoughts to anyone.

......

Li's back house, in an exquisite courtyard, several green trees poked into the bare garden, which looked particularly gratifying.

The small bridge and flowing water, at the end of a pebbles trail, in an exquisite pavilion, a figure wearing a lady's skirt was holding an ancient book. When I read it carefully, the entire courtyard was filled with a quiet and elegant artistic conception.

"Qingling, is Changshou coming to deliver things again?"

Compared to more than a month ago, Mrs. Li was undoubtedly much thinner at this time, and her round oval face also had more edges and corners, but she looked a little more heroic.

The plain face without makeup emits this bright jade light under the warm winter sun, crystal clear, a pair of eyes that are like spring water, the ancient well has no waves, and seems to contain infinite wisdom.

"Um..."

Facing Mrs. Li’s question, Qingling seemed much silent at this time.

"You little girl, do you have something to ask me?"

Putting down the ancient books in his hand and looking at the gentle and calm face who was eager to speak, Mrs. Li shook her head with a little amused.

How she didn't understand this little girl she had grown up since she was a child? Although she had experienced the chaos in the Li family, her personality became a little calmer, but she still did not change her naive and romantic nature.

It is really rare to make her feel difficult to speak.

"I...madam...you...do you blame Xiao Dengzi?"

"Where does this start..."

Hearing this, Mrs. Li looked up at Qingling with a slightly different look, as if she was surprised.

"I...I heard... Xiao Dengzi was very close to those bad guys, and even... He even worked hard in Nujiao County because he was captured..."

"Who do you hear these words? Don't listen to these rumors on the street in the future..."

"Really? Madam, you don't blame Xiao Dengzi anymore. I'll just say, how could Xiao Dengzi work together with those bad guys? He must have been wronged."

Seeing that his wife did not take these rumors to heart, the little girl who was still in a daze just now had her bright eyes lit up immediately, and her whole face seemed to be revitalized.

Since she married her wife to Nujiao County, the little girl has almost no playmate. Although Deng Fan was a little taciturn, he never disliked her long-windedness, but was regarded as her only friend by the little girl.

Naturally, she didn't want her only friend to be misunderstood by her wife, and in her opinion, Deng Fan was not the kind of person who would repay kindness and revenge.

The little girl naturally didn't know. In fact, Deng Fan also disliked her troubles. The reason why she was willing to listen to her nagging was that she wanted to cheat more pastries from her. If she knew the truth, she would not know if this little girl would faint in the toilet.

Looking at the little girl with a smile on her face, Mrs. Li shook her head helplessly, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart that sometimes she is not so smart, and it is not necessarily a bad thing.

Mrs. Li is naturally not a stupid person to be able to take on the family business of Li's family. Although she cannot calculate the cooperation between Deng Fan and Yuan Xu, she can probably guess it is almost impossible to match it.

She also knew that Deng Fan could not blame Deng Fan for the breach of Nujiao County. Even without Deng Fan, Nujiao County would not be able to escape the evil move, and her and Qingling's fate would not be very good.

If you have to blame me, you can only blame Nujiao County for being targeted by the warlords, blame the other families for attracting wolves into the house, and blame Fei Ruhe for inaction.
