"How did you find this place?" Bai Zhi put the bait to catch Renzhou. She didn't expect to fish out the Zijin Empire. She was not surprised. She didn't expect that the Zijin Empire was in such urgent need of mecha experts, so Xin obviously didn't. The news of selling the Feng family's mecha information to the Zijin Empire must be reported to Ji Sen as soon as possible so that he can deal with it early.
Wang Zhiba smiled and said, "Hami Company is so high-profile in Chaojing. If you stay in Chaojing for a few more days, you can find out that your Xiaoshan is the boss of Hami Company. How can you still not deduce who Qiao Na is, who is nine thousand years old?"
"Okay, why did you come to me?" Bai Zhi asked Wang Zhiba directly about his purpose.
"Zhang Jingting once participated in the research and development of mechas by the Ji family or the Feng family, right?" Wang Zhiba also asked directly.
Bai Zhi smiled bitterly, "Captain Wang, you are a very good person, I can't lie to you. He has done relevant research himself, but he has not participated in the research and development of these two companies."
Qiao Na just now released the news that her husband may be a mecha expert, of course she has an agenda.
Qiao Na and Ji Sen clearly have the same interests. Even if her husband has not participated in the research and development of Ji's mecha, Qiao Na will never deny that Ji Sen has him. The Feng family has never admitted that Qiao Na is Feng Li Zhi, but even if Qiao Na is not Feng Li Zhi, it can be inferred that she has a close relationship with Feng Li Zhi based on her appearance that is 99% similar to Feng Li Zhi. If Qiao Na publicly said that her child's father had participated in the development of Feng's mecha without harming the current interests of the Feng family, the Feng family would not deny it.
Qiao Na said that there may be some water in the mecha research and development of the Ji family or the Feng family, but she said there would definitely not be one if not.
Wang Zhiba nodded, "I believe you. Let me ask you, can your father design and make mechas independently?"
"It's no problem to make toys. Weapons... I can only say that it's a joke." Bai Zhi laughed, "Captain Wang, you're not here to convince my whole family to defect to the Zijin Empire."
"Indeed. If you are willing to come, His Majesty the Emperor promises to make you a Duke, and you can choose the fiefdom within the empire's territory. Your Zhang Jingting will be in charge of the empire's research and development of mechas." Wang Zhiba tried his best to persuade, "The Renzhou Empire can't compete. We have better conditions."
"It sounds quite tempting. But," Bai Zhi said with a smile, "the children finally got admitted to Imperial College of Science and Technology in Renzhou. We must let them stay safe and graduate smoothly."
The admission requirements for the best polytechnics in the Zijin Empire are also very high. The old aristocrats of the Zijin Empire especially looked down upon the newly arrived Fufa. It was still very difficult for the newly arrived Fufa, who was nine thousand years old, to transfer several children from Renzhou Imperial Polytechnic to the best polytechnic school in the Zijin Empire.
Just looking at the immediate benefits, leaving Ren Zhou is really not worthwhile.
However, the Duke of the greatest empire in the 60th District is not an empty title with a good name. The Duke must have a place in the House of Lords. The fiefdom will also give at least ten habitable stars, and also the management rights of several resource systems. No matter how you compare, going to Zijin Empire is better than being a study companion in Renzhou.
Wang Zhiba gave Bai Zhi more advantages in detail, "You are already in Renzhou, and you have shown that you are willing to settle in Renzhou. It is impossible for Renzhou to give you a noble status. I will wait for your child in more than ten years." We have all graduated from the research institute, and Zijin does not necessarily need mecha experts as urgently as it does now. It is impossible for Zhang Jingting to be an industry leader. Although we still very much welcome you to settle in the Zijin Empire, you once refused His Majesty the Emperor. The olive branch I gave you earlier, even if His Majesty is willing to give you the title of Duke, the nobles will not agree to it. How many benefits can a Duke bring to you before I show it to you?"
Bai Zhi shook her head with a smile and said, "I am willing to stay in Renzhou because Renzhou doesn't give me anything."
Wang Zhiba did not expect Xiaobai to give such an answer. He was stunned for a moment before thinking about what Xiaobai came to Renzhou for.
Shao Dengqing, who was almost inseparable from Xiaobai, became nine thousand years old with Xiaobai's company. It is conceivable that her relationship with the Shao family is not bad. Shao Dengqing was the most favored nephew of the ancient emperor of Tang Dynasty. If Xiaobai only wanted to live a stable life, Xiaobai would not be able to get the title of Duke in the Tanggu Empire, and the actual benefits would not be less than those given to her by the Zijin Empire. And with Shaw's backing, Xiaobai's life in the Tanggu Empire would definitely be more comfortable than being a lonely upstart in the Zijin Empire.
give up stability
If you don’t need a good life, what are you doing in Renzhou?
Let Wang Zhiba answer this question himself. He would say: I want Renzhou to have my last name.
When he analyzed Xiaobai's actions with his own answer, he could understand why she did not go to the Tanggu Empire.
The royal family of Renzhou was not as widely supported by the country's nobles as the Zijin royal family, nor was it as powerful in force and good at uniting the country's nobles as the emperors of the Tanggu Empire. Inju's abdomen was captured by orcs. If he defeated the orcs, he would have the support of both civilians and nobles. After driving away the orcs and occupying Renzhou's territory without returning it, and with the support of the Shao family, a great nobleman of the Tang ancient empire, the Gu family might really have a chance to become Renzhou's new royal family.
"I still have too little communication with Xiaobai, and I don't understand you too well, Xiaobai." Wang Zhiba regretted that the Shao family had taken the initiative and vigorously supported the efforts to bring down the Renzhou Empire. The Wang family could have done it, and he was extremely regretful. He said, "Since you have a plan, I won't force you. If you need anything, tell me. It's just that your brother Wang is not capable enough. There is a Wang family behind Brother Wang who might be able to help?"
As expected, Fei Longqi and Feihu Qi were good brothers, and they had exactly the same intention of bringing down the Renzhou Empire.
No matter how much Mingying and Xiaozhi hate the Zijin Empire, the children are not even Chitose now, so it is still necessary for her to maintain a friendly relationship with the lobbyists sent by the Zijin Empire.
Bai Zhi called her brother affectionately, "Since Brother Wang said this, then I won't be polite to Brother Wang. If there is any difficulty, I will definitely open my mouth to Brother Wang."
No one can say how the situation will develop in the future. When the Gu family becomes a force that can influence the political situation in Renzhou, it will not be too late to discuss cooperation. Now, just continue to maintain friendship.
Wang Zhiba turned the topic to family, talking to Bai Zhi about the education and growth of his children, and the sweet and happy relationship between him and his wife. He avoided the minefield of "whether the child is Xiaobai's biological child" and showed concern. Every child in Dow Manor.
The personal friendship with Mr. Shao was exchanged for the huge benefit of the Tanggu Empire giving the green light to Hami Company in Jiuxu. The financial relationship with Ji Youkang also allowed Hami Company's fleet to travel unimpeded within the Renzhou Empire. Getting closer to a Zijin nobleman like Wang Zhiba, who is kind-hearted and has an excellent family background, will definitely reap rewards in the future.
Bai Zhi thought about how scumbags like Ji Youkang were working hard to raise their children, and Wang Zhiba's desire for children would only become even more serious. The Hami company bartered back space cards and other space cards, plus the Yangzhou copycat space cards, and asked Wang Zhiba's agent to sell them in the Zijin Empire. She would also benefit from the energy Wang Zhiba. Isn't it a win-win situation?
After thinking about it, she asked directly: "Brother Wang, are your Zijin Empire's second-hand space brands easy to sell?"
Wang Zhiba heard about Zhou Lingnan's collusion with Ji Youkang to sell second-hand brands. When Xiaobai said this, he immediately reacted and asked frankly: "Is your Hami company going to ship again? At what price?"
"If Brother Wang can help find sales in the Zijin Empire, I will pay Brother Wang 5% of the market price for tea. If Brother Wang can help exchange it for energy blocks, plus two points of social fees." Bai Zhi felt that she was dedicated. A father who strives to raise each of his children to be successful will not turn down an opportunity to make money.
Wang Zhiba really couldn't refuse. However, he declined the offer two times before agreeing. He also said that five points was already very high and there was no need for social fees. Because Bai Zhi insisted on paying a social fee, he also took the initiative to say that he would go to Chaojing to pick up the goods in person, and would deliver the energy blocks to the pick-up point designated by Hami Company.
Lao Wang's kind style appealed to Gu Tianbai's taste.
The most important thing is that Lao Wang is really protective of Bai Zhi, and he did not hesitate to stop Mr. Shao from taking Bai Zhi and Xiao Shan to the Tang Empire. Gu Tianbai met Wang Zhiba when Wang Zhiba went to Chaojing to pick up the goods, and gave Wang Zhiba a good ginseng to express the Gu family's gratitude to him.
The value of this good ginseng was worth Wang Zhiba's entire income from this trip.
Even before the orc war started, if you had money and wanted to buy good-quality ginseng, you had to try your luck. Not only did you happen to meet someone who was willing to sell it, but you also had to be lucky enough that no one would compete with you. With such a ginseng as a stepping stone, whether it is finding a pharmacist to make life-saving potions or replacing resources for children, it is easier than simply spending money.
Wang Zhiba and the Wang family kept it quiet, but his long
His son and second son had been stuck on the threshold of a thousand years for more than ten years. Not long after he made a trip to Chaojing, not only did the two children successfully advance to the thousand years, but the eldest daughter and the second daughter also advanced to the thousand years, which could not be hidden from anyone. He took his two thousand-year-old sons to send energy to Chaojing. He couldn't hide it from anyone, let alone Feihu Qi.
Xiao Shao knew that Wang Zhiba secretly went to Renzhou to meet Bai Zhi before he went to Chaojing twice, and he also knew what mission Wang Zhiba had brought to find Bai Zhi. I don't know what kind of private agreement Bai Zhi and Wang Zhiba have reached, so just ask directly. He sent a letter to Bai Zhi through Cheng Yu'an and traveled thousands of miles to visit.
Hao Xing finished the teleportation system captured from the Akkadian orcs and planned to rest for a few days, so he showed up in Chaojing wearing Tao Xiaoyong's outfit and took a spaceship to Chengxi.
Lord Shao is coming, and the fake Tao Xiaoyong fulfills his responsibility as a man of the house and goes to the gate of the manor to greet the guests.
Xiao Shao's eyes were really poisonous, and he recognized Hao Xing at a glance. When he entered the living room, he made sure that Ren Zhou would not be monitoring him, so he greeted Hao Xing: "A Xing, long time no see."
"Long time no see." Hao Xing did not mention that he was playing Tao Xiaoyong, an enthusiastic head of the family. "We are making dumplings. What fillings do you like?"
"The mutton stuffing I had last time at Shata Star was delicious." Xiao Shao remembered that delicious meal.
"Those are baked buns." Hao Xing rolled up his sleeves happily, "I've arranged it for you. In autumn and winter, you should eat mutton and make it fat!"
In the big kitchen, Mu Bai is kneading dough and Mian Ning is mixing stuffing. Mi An and Ming Ying were rolling out the dough, while Jiang Jingyuan was clumsily learning how to round and flatten the dough. Bai Zhi was lying quietly on the carpet beside the fireplace with her arms around her. The twigs nestled against the Angelica dahuricae were also a little wilted. Mi Ping, Mi Shun and Mi Yang were crawling on the carpet and playing game consoles, either next to Angelica dahurica or twigs.
At first glance, Xiao Shao only saw that his niece was uncomfortable and asked, "What's wrong with Jingjing?"
"Mingying was promoted to Chitose a few days ago, and the two little ones got like this when they were anxious. Fortunately, I found out quickly." Bai Zhi was only 30% tired, so she had to perform 70% for Xiao Shao, "Children, shout people."
From the oldest to the youngest, everyone called Uncle Shao, including Jiang Jingyuan.
"Hello. Mingying, congratulations." Xiao Shao greeted Mingying, "You have good control. I can't tell you are Chitose."
"Uncle, thank you." Mingying felt a little happy, but not proud. After all, the whole family, except for her and Xiaozhi Jingjing, are nearly nine thousand years old. There is really nothing to be proud of being a thousand years old.
Xiao Shao patiently spent a warm night at Bai Zhi's house. After his niece fell asleep and entered the study, he had the opportunity to ask Bai Zhi: "Why did Wang Zhiba take his two sons to Hami Company?"
"Last time he came to see me. He said he was short of money, so I asked him to help me sell some space cards. He got some commission, and I got some reliable energy." Bai Zhi said lightly.
"That person's attitude is because he wants to join your family." Xiao Shao frowned and wiped his face, "Wang Zhiba is a kind and kind man, and the Wang family is not that good."
Feihu.qi never lags behind when poaching each other. Bai Zhi smiled and said, "My third brother was grateful to him because of Xiaoshan and gave him a ginseng. I guess the ginseng played a role in his child's promotion to Chitose. He took the child there." It's human nature to express gratitude, and it's not a good idea to become a member of the Wang family."
Bai Zhi would give out two precious sprigs of ginseng to the orphans of Shata Star. It was reasonable for the nine thousand-year-old Gu family to give out a sprig of ginseng because of Wang Zhiba's protective feelings for his sister and children. Lao Wang is indeed someone who would go all the way to say thank you for his child's advancement.
After figuring out what was going on and confirming that Bai Zhi and Wang Zhiba only had a personal relationship, Xiao Shao felt that this friendship would not hinder the future alliance between the Tanggu Empire and the Gu family. He laughed and said, "There are several rooms in the Wang family. There are female relatives from the Yuehe River, maybe you can ask Wang Zhiba to find out if they are from the Ji family."
From the children's perspective, it was the Zijin Empire that stole their mother. From the perspective of the family's interests, maybe the women were doing intelligence work or seeking assistance for the family. Ji Sen didn't tell her the details, and she couldn't act rashly. What if she ruined other people's affairs?
Angelica dahurica also knows
Dao Xiaoshao said this to let her know that the Wang family was not suitable to be Gu's allies. However, she did not tell the truth, and said as if she did not want to meddle in other people's business, "I will tell Ji Sen that the Ji family's affairs must be decided by themselves, and it is not convenient for me to interfere."
"That's right." Xiao Shao suddenly remembered, "Is there a short video of Jing Jing's daily life?"
"There are some, do you want to watch them or give them to her sister?" Bai Zhi opened her brain, "It doesn't matter if you want to watch them. The best ones for her sister are the solo videos for Jingjing."
"Give me Jingjing's solo videos. If there are Jiang Jingyuan's solo videos, find some for me." Xiao Shao sighed, "Haiyan is seriously injured. I want to pull her from the front line but she still refuses." I'll go see her when I go to the front line in a few days."
Bai Zhi also sighed, picked out the solo video of Jingjing and Jiang Jingyuan from the hard drive, transferred it to a hard drive card and gave it to Xiao Shao, and asked, "How is the Qingqiu front line?"
"Mechas, we are confident in holding the line of defense. But the Zijin Empire is struggling on the Akkad side. How about the Xingyang side?"
"It's a stalemate." Bai Zhi shrugged. Now this kind of stalemate without small battles is very beneficial to Ji Sen. She very much doubted whether Ji Sen had a private deal with the orcs.
"You shouldn't have Ji's mechas." Xiao Shao felt that the problem lay with the nobles of Renzhou and sighed again, "These nobles of Renzhou. You have to be prepared to move at any time, maybe one day someone will So I sold the Imperial Capital Star Circle to the orcs.”
"If the Renli Star Circle cannot be defended, I will definitely run away." Bai Zhi said she was giving in, but in her heart she firmly believed that the Renli Star Circle could last fifty years.
"If you have the energy to spare when you run away, please inform Cheng Yu'an. If you can take away as many family members as you can, help me take away as many family members as possible." Xiao Shao solemnly saluted Bai Zhi, "I know you have the energy to spare, promise me!"
What kind of domineering behavior is this? Bai Zhi laughed angrily: "If I want to leave, I must take Jiang Jingyuan and Ji Fengling with me. If I want to take Ji Fengling, can I not take his mother with me? Can I take him away without Cheng Yuan's cooperation? How much can Cheng Yuan give me?" I won’t agree to it if I plug in a few people? Why do you bother?”
"That's different. I'm begging you. If you agree, you will definitely leave a place for my people in advance. If there is a place, I will definitely take a few more people with me." Xiao Shao said and smiled, "Anyway, I It’s so shameless, you’re my friend so just live with it.”
Bai Zhi rolled her eyes at him and said, "I've learned, I won't be ashamed to ask you for anything in the future."
Hao Xing came in with a plate of fruit and said, "I just have something to ask Mr. Shao Hou. Our laboratory needs to add new equipment, and it's hard for Renzhou to buy it. It won't be difficult for Mr. Shao to buy it in the Tanggu Empire, right?"
"It's for use in our Tanggu Empire. It's not difficult for me to buy it. If you ship it to Renzhou, you definitely won't be able to do it." Xiao Shao shook his head, "I can't agree to this."
"I'm crazy. I left my laboratory in Renzhou!" Bai Zhi was so angry. Is there a friend like this who can only help you but you want to talk to me about principles? "Our laboratory building is just for children to play with. You buy it for us, and we will make sure to hide it so that no third party can get around. Just say, okay?"
"Some machines are good, some are not." Xiao Shao was embarrassed. "It's not that I don't believe in your character. The Zijin Empire has no shortage of metal resources now, so it hasn't moved the Chaos Star Belt for the time being. Once they want it, you can't hold it. Selling you banned equipment is equivalent to giving food to your opponent."
"Then first sell us the machines that can be sold to us. I'll give you the list." Hao Xing took out a memory card, "Tick the ones that can be sold. The ship where you buy the nutrient solution will deliver it to Hami. The company's warehouse is very convenient. The bill will go to Hami Company and yours first..."
Let this prodigal man spend money freely, and he can spend it so that his whole family will work for the Tanggu Empire for ten thousand years!
Bai Zhi quickly shouted to stop: "Tick the ones that can be sold, and the list will be returned to me. What we buy depends on how much we have!"
"Then... I'll revise this list." Hao Xing took the memory card back again, and left timidly and unwillingly: "I'll come back later."
Seeing Hao Xing trot away with the wind, Xiao Shao laughed and almost lost his head, but he still promised: "I will give you the list back."
"No need to bother to go through Cheng Yu'an
, you ask Shao Andy to send a message to the manager of Hami Company, and I will send someone to get it. Bai Zhi sighed, "I'm going to think about new ways to make money."
"What technology do you have that you are willing to transfer, let's talk about it?" Xiao Shao said enthusiastically, "You and your third brother both like to give away ginseng. Do you have the technology to artificially grow ginseng?"
With meteorite extract, there is no bad plant to grow. You can't say this, but it doesn't prevent you from blowing a wave of Xiaoqi.
"There is a botanist in my family." Bai Zhi thought about it, "Maybe we can cooperate in agriculture. Can we arrange for him to visit the Tanggu Empire to visit agriculture?"
"After we got the Moonlight Mushroom here, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences wanted to communicate with you. I didn't think it was time to mention it to you, so I didn't mention it to you." Xiao Shao guessed that the botanist was Xiao Shan's biological father and sighed. "But when a person arrives in our Tanggu Empire, if he is willing to stay..."
Bai Zhi laughed so hard, "You said you wanted to poach someone before I even stood in front of you. Are you too shameless?"
"The dean of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences is my maternal grandfather." Xiao Shao said helplessly, "That is someone that even my uncle can't afford to offend. If he wants to keep him, no one can refuse the terms he offers, so I will advance in advance. I’ll give you a vaccination.”
No one could force her to keep her when she was nine thousand years old. Bai Zhi decided not to tell Xiao Shao that her Xiao Qi was also nine thousand years old. "There is nothing I can do if I really can't keep her."
"Then it's settled. I'll write an email now and ask Andy Shao to arrange it." Xiao Shao was afraid that Bai Zhi would go back on his word and act like a cheat, so he raised his wrist to write an email.
He opened his mailbox, and an important and urgent email popped up.
Xiao Shao opened it immediately. There were only two sentences in the email: Orcs secretly opened the star gate of the Qingqiu Star Field Hospital and abducted all the medical staff and wounded. Come home soon!
The email was sent half an hour ago. Xiao Shao's face was very ugly.
Bai Zhi guessed that Jingjing's sister was among the wounded who were taken away from the field hospital. No matter how much she said to comfort her, she took out a Yangzhou brand miniature fixed-point star gate and said, "The landing point is definitely Chao Jing's miniature star gate." , you need to conserve your strength, use this."
"Thank you." Xiao Shao took the small and exquisite round machine, "I..."
A second urgent email popped up, and he hurriedly opened it.
The email read: Silent Hill in the Ailan Star Territory claimed that the hostages taken by the orcs were in their hands, and demanded that the hostages be exchanged for their fleet to go to the Golden Flower Empire through the Chaojing Star Gate.
"I'll ask Andy to send a message to Hami Company later." Xiao Shao calmed down a little, "You open the defense shield, and I'll teleport to another place first."
Bai Zhi opened the defense cover, and after Xiao Shao teleported out, she immediately closed the defense cover, and said to Xiao Shan in the family chat group: "I just received the news that Qi Haoyu is going to exchange hostages and use Chaojing to go to the Golden Flower Empire. If you haven't found it yet, Will they just go back to Chaojing and wait?"
Xiao Shan replied instantly: Fifth Sister, Brother Haoyu and I are all together. On the surface, we arranged for someone to borrow a passage to go to the Golden Flower Empire. In fact, we were going to the Lingyue Galaxy to help the brothers-in-law mine. To dig out the mines, we also had to go to Renzhou to play with Fifth Sister. Fifth sister, you can prepare delicious food and wait to entertain us.
