When Fang Yi saw Li Jie coming back, she said timidly: "Master, my brother has something to ask you."
Li Jie joked: "What? I can't wait so soon."
Fang Yi blushed at Li Jie's words, turned around and ran away, saying as she ran, "Young master, you are bullying me! My brother is not looking for you for that matter, but for something else."
Li Jie couldn't help but smile. He happened to have something to do with Fang Kun, so they solved it together. He walked slowly to Fang Kun's yard and saw him practicing sword skills. Fang Kun still looked cold when he saw Li Jie coming. There was no change in his expression.
Fang Kun put away the sword in his hand and said stiffly: "Pingzhi, I plan to participate in martial arts in three years. What do you think?"
In fact, Fang Kun had already had the idea of taking the martial arts exam. This time Fang Yi came back and happily told him that Li Jie planned to marry her as his wife, which made him even more determined. The family backgrounds of the two parties were really different. , prodigy, genius, teenage beauty and other titles, Fang Kun has no hesitation for his sister's future happiness.
Now all he can do is practice martial arts hard. Recently, he has begun to study astronomy, geography, and military strategy, hoping to participate in martial arts and gain a background. Although his status as a military attache is still not worthy of Li Jie, this is his All that can be done.
Li Jie was quite surprised when he heard Fang Kun's words. He didn't expect that this man with a shockingly low emotional intelligence would come up with this idea. Then he thought that maybe his family background put him under too much pressure.
"I think it's very good. Your martial arts is more than enough to participate in martial arts. But if you have any questions about astronomy, geography, and military strategy, you can ask me. I have dabbled in these and want to give you some advice. It shouldn't be a big problem. Once you get to Beijing I’m looking for a good teacher for you, how about that?”
Fang Kun nodded, then turned around to leave. Li Jie said, "Don't leave in a hurry. I happen to have something to tell you."
The "Laws of the Ming Dynasty" also clearly stipulates that marriage is based on a matchmaker. Even if both parties agree and have discussed everything, the matchmaker must come to get engaged. At the same time, an elder must preside over the marriage. Grandparents and parents like Fang Yi have passed away. Yes, according to the law, Fang Kun will preside over the marriage. If both parties are willing, they can write a marriage contract.
Fang Kun heard this and said, "Is it about my sister?"
Li Jie nodded: "I plan to make an engagement first when I come back this time. However, my martial arts is at a critical point right now, so I don't plan to get married for the time being. I will wait until I break through the current bottleneck before consummating the marriage."
Fang Kun thinks there is no problem. In his opinion, with Li Jie's talent, it will be a matter of course for him to break through to the realm of Great Zhoutian. It won't take long. If he knew that the bottleneck Li Jie mentioned was the innate barrier, he would probably be anxious. .
The inheritance he received back then was recorded in the book by Zhuo Bufan. The innate realm is known as the natural chasm of martial arts. Countless brilliant people have fallen at this threshold, and they may not be able to break through in their lifetime.
Fang Kun said meticulously: "Okay, let's finalize the marriage contract first, and wait until you break through the Great Zhoutian realm before consummating the marriage."
Li Jie replied: "Do you have any misunderstanding? I have broken through the Great Zhoutian realm on the road some time ago. The bottleneck I am talking about is the Xiantian realm."
Fang Kun was shocked when he heard that Li Jie had broken through to the Great Zhoutian, and then he remembered the records about the innate realm in the book. His face turned red with anger and he said angrily: "If you don't want to get married, don't get married, why are you playing tricks on me. Is it so easy to break through the Xiantian realm? How many people have fallen at this threshold."
Li Jie smiled helplessly: "Since you don't believe it, why don't we limit it to three years? After three years, no matter whether I make a breakthrough or not, we will get married in accordance with the marriage contract. What do you think?"
Fang Kun had nothing to say after hearing what Li Jie said, and nodded: "I understand."
After saying that, he turned around and left, which was in line with his usual clean and tidy style.
Seeing that there was no problem with Fang Kun, Li Jie went to discuss with Lin Zhennan and Mrs. Wang what to do next. After listening to Li Jie's report, Mrs. Wang said: "Okay! Okay! I like this kid Fang Yi. I'll go there later." Zhang Luo, you don’t have to worry.”
Lin Zhennan said: "Madam is right, I also like this child Fang Yi very much. Our family doesn't have so many rules. It doesn't matter if we are well-matched. Your mother and I were..."
Mrs. Wang glared at Lin Zhennan fiercely without waiting for him to continue. Lin Zhennan was warned and dared not continue talking. For the sake of future pocket money, it was better to talk less and stood aside like a wooden person.
Li Jie could only pretend he didn't see the little action between the two. Lin Zhennan was well-known in his circle of friends for being henpecked.
"Then let mother worry about it. My son is going to Xinghua Prefecture in the next two days, and then he needs to transfer to Baisha. Senior brother Liang Chu has something to send to the master. My son has not seen his master for a long time and misses him very much. "
Mrs. Wang said: "You can go without worry. Mom will take care of everything at home. I have collected some unique books for my mother. Remember to bring them to your master when you go to Baisha, and take us to say hello to your master."
Li Jie had accidentally said that Master loved orphan books before. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wang actually remembered it and went out to collect some orphan books. He was very touched. He thought of Mrs. Wang's meticulous care after entering the dungeon. He has already taken his place in it, and is determined to honor her well in the future. Of course, Mr. Lin is doing this by the way.
When she returned to the yard, she saw Fang Yi pacing back and forth in the yard. She turned around and saw that Li Jie was back. She smiled and ran over quickly.
"Master, my brother told me that I...I can do it."
Seeing Fang Yi's shy expression, Li Jie touched her head and said, "Well, my mother will take care of these things in the future. Don't worry. The master and his wife have been very satisfied with you over the years. No. What’s the problem?”
"By the way, I'm going to Xinhui in the next two days. Time is tight, so I went alone."
The next day, Li Jie packed his bags and rushed towards Xinghua Prefecture. The transportation in ancient times was not convenient enough, so most of this vacation would probably be spent on the journey.
There are a total of seven salt fields in Fujian. Each salt field has a salt department, with an ambassador, who is in charge of the production of the salt field and the collection of salt taxes. Under each salt field, there is a group organization, and each group has jurisdiction. For one hundred and ten households, there is a general reminder for ten households (similar to the Li Chang in the Li Jia method), and the other one hundred households are divided into ten households.
What Li Jie is going to this time is the Shangli Salt Field in Putian County, Xinghua Prefecture. The Shangli Salt Field is the second largest salt field after the Haikou Salt Field under the jurisdiction of the Fujian Metropolitan Salt Transport Department. Ding Nan, who is engaged in salt production, There were more than twelve thousand people in total.
