Li Chenan spent a day at the blacksmith shop by the Peach Blossom Creek.

It's not that he has any other ways to improve this thing, but he is discussing with Huang Sanlie the next issue of forging weapons and equipment in the blacksmith shop.

According to Wu Xichen's analysis of this smelting method, the weapons forged, both in terms of sharpness and hardness, are far superior to all current weapons in various countries.

So this is something that transcends the times, so it must be kept secret!

It’s just that this thing is too troublesome to build and takes a very long time.

According to Li Gang, to make a sword, a skilled craftsman can only make one in a day.

Then we must recruit more blacksmiths, and get all those blacksmiths to work under the Zhongli Mansion.

This kind of thing was left to Huang Sanlie to worry about, and Li Chenan gave Li Gang two tasks??——

Forge a dagger.

Make twenty more Xiao Li flying knives.

As the sun set, Li Chenan and Wu Xichen left the blacksmith workshop and went to Boiyu Xiaozhu.

In Zhuoyu Xiaozhu, Huo Chuanming, the newly appointed prefect of Guangling, was waiting for him.

When Huo Chuanming saw Li Chenan approaching, he quickly stood up, cupped his fists and saluted: "Master Li, long time no see!"

Li Chenan cupped his fists and returned the salute: "Master Huo, congratulations!"

"Haha, we are all happy together!"

Li Chenan invited Huo Chuanming to sit down. He cooked a pot of tea and said with some regret: "Actually, I have heard about your succession as the prefect of Guangling. I should have gone to your house to congratulate you in person, but unexpectedly I received a fish

A mission from the Dragon Club."

"This task is a bit urgent. We also sent an inspection envoy down, so we can't get away. I thought I would go to your house tomorrow night, but I didn't expect Mr. Huo to come here. I'm really sorry.

!”

Huo Chuanming waved his hand, "Young Master Li is the helmsman of the Fish and Dragon Club, and there will definitely be a lot of things going on. This little thing I have to do is not a big deal... I would like to ask, what mission has been assigned to you by the Fish and Dragon Club?"

Li Chenan twisted a handful of tea leaves and put it in the teapot, and said calmly: "Kill Liu Zuo!"

Huo Chuanming was shocked and asked again in disbelief: "Seriously?"

"Of course it's true, Liu Zuo died in the lake at Linfengdu."

"..."

Huo Chuanming took a breath, this incident was beyond his imagination, because Liu Zuo was very helpful to Li Chen'an when he was in office.

Liu Zuo is Hua Manting's protégé, and he, Li Chenan, is Hua Manting's best friend.

No matter what he thought, there was no way he would kill Liu Zuo.

But since the Ichthyosaur Society sent an inspection envoy here, I'm afraid this matter cannot be faked.

This guy is so cruel!

He is indeed a character!

No wonder my uncle said when he went to Kyoto not to provoke Li Chenan until the situation was clear!

"I shouldn't ask about this..."

Li Chenan raised his eyebrows and said, "It's okay. Sooner or later, the news will spread, even to Kyoto. Brother Hua will definitely know about it."

"As for what he will do to me when he finds out... we'll have to wait and see."

Huo Chuanming nodded slightly, "I think the higher-ups at the Yulong Club will also defend you... Is Liu Zuo really from the Zhongli Mansion?"

Li Chenan nodded, "This person, after all, it's not appropriate to have two boats."

"Now that I have become a member of the Fish and Dragon Society, I have to stay away from the Zhongli Mansion. One of the things I did was to express my attitude to Prime Minister Ji. Secondly, it was also because the Zhongli Mansion would take some measures against me.

What kind of means."

Huo Chuanming glanced at Li Chenan with some worry, thinking that if Zhongli Mansion wanted to deal with you, Prime Minister Ji might not be able to protect you.

This kid is really too courageous.

However, this also confirmed that there was no other relationship between him and the third lady of Zhongli Mansion.

The Fish and Dragon Society gave him such a task, and I'm afraid they also need to know his choice. Now that he has chosen the Fish and Dragon Society, he is clearly standing on the opposite side of the Zhongli Mansion... The Huo family is not strong enough now, but in fact the Huo family is also

Standing opposite Zhongli Mansion.

In this way, you can have a deep friendship with this kid!

If my uncle brings Huo Shuyi back, this boy might be the uncle of the Huo family.

"You need to be careful!"

Huo Chuanming became worried about Li Chenan, "The old lady in Zhongli Mansion is a master of the Holy Order. If you kill her people in Zhongli Mansion now, I'm afraid she will send a master of martial arts to take your life!"

"In this case, I will send it tomorrow..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Chenan smiled slightly and said, "You have to worry about this matter, but this is the last resort after all."

"...What is the best policy?"

"I'm going to Kyoto in two days to go to Dingguo Houfu to apologize to that old lady!"

Huo Chuanming was stunned for a moment, then suddenly shouted: "Brilliant plan! Wonderful plan!"

It is not easy to guard against an assassination attempt by Zhongli Mansion, so this is the last resort.

The best strategy is to eliminate the hatred of Zhongli Mansion, and even gain the friendship of Zhongli Mansion!

Only in this way can he, Li Chenan, be safe.

"I came to see you today because I want to discuss something with you."

Huo Chuanming felt relieved and talked about the business of coming here.

"Your peach blossom wine has opened a way for my Huo family's Guangling powder. I won't say much to thank you. What I want to say is..." He leaned over and whispered: "We can go to Linfengdu.

Join forces and take the water transportation of that place into your own hands!"

"That's a big piece of fat, guaranteed to make you a lot of money!"

Li Chenan looked at Huo Chuanming in surprise. This guy was also planning on Linfengdu.

"You said this a bit late."

Huo Chuanming was startled, and then Li Chenan said again: "The inspection envoy at Linfengdu was hit. He asked me to set up the Guangling branch and go get it. It's not me who will benefit, but the superiors."

Huo Chuanming sighed with great regret, but this was not a big loss, as long as the Linfeng Crossing Water Transport was in Li Chenan's hands.

What the Huo family needs are those water boats.

"Then there are other businesses, such as salt and iron, are you interested?"

Li Chenan's eyes suddenly lit up. The government management of salt and iron was very strict. Huang Sanlie obtained about a hundred kilograms of iron ingots through the channels of Zhongli Mansion. This amount was far from enough for Li Chenan's needs.

Originally, because of this matter, he was looking for a time to chat with Huo Chuanming, but he didn't expect that Huo Chuanming actually handed the words to him.

"You can have this!"

"Okay! I will replace the Salt and Iron Chief Sizheng with my own people. After you take control of Linfeng Crossing, you can sell the salt from Guangling Prefecture to Qianzhou Zizhou and other salt-deficient places. The profits will be huge!"

Li Chenan also leaned over, "Okay, 60% of the profits will be yours!"

"The Huo family only needs 50%."

"What about iron? Can we produce iron ore in Guangling Prefecture?"

"Yes, there are three iron ore mines in Guangzhou, but two of them have been abandoned in recent years."

"What about the two abandoned reserves?"

"We don't know yet, but I think the reserves will be large."

"Then can you transfer those two official mines to my name? Half of the profits will belong to you."

"...Okay, that's it!"

"Mr. Huo, be clear. If the Huo family has trouble outside, and it's not convenient for Mr. Huo to take action, just tell me."

The two foxes, each with their own ulterior motives, conspired and decided on the most profitable businesses in Guangling Prefecture.

"I will go to Kyoto in the next few days. Master Huo will just run Guangling Prefecture without leakage. When I come back, we will have a big fight and make sure that Master Huo will be promoted and make a fortune. I, Li Chenan... can also be more successful in Guangling City.

Happy and happy!"

"Okay, I'll write you a handwritten note later. The head of the family is also on his way to Kyoto. You can go and meet the head of the family then. If you can see my cousin Huo Baiyang again..."

Huo Chuanming leaned over and said, "Maybe I can help you turn danger into good luck!"
