This Miss Gu is indeed from Beijing.

She is Gu Qianrong, the daughter of Gu Feng, the Censor who came to Haizhou for inspection this time.

Gu Qianrong liked to run around with her father and brother since she was a child and rarely stayed in Beijing. However, she was good friends with Xin Che's third sister Xin Ningyu and would always visit the "sick" Xin Ningyu when she returned to Beijing.

Gu Qianrong nodded to Li Sicong and said, "So you are Mr. Li's junior sister. Please go ahead."

Li Sicong suppressed his shock at seeing an old acquaintance in a foreign land. He pulled Jiang Lili aside, and his elegant face had turned into a bitter one: "Ancestor, please stop talking and leave me a few words!"

"You've said all the famous quotes, what do you want me to say next time?"

After he said this, he felt a "beeping" sound in his head, and a group chat interface appeared in Li Sicong's mind.

【@Vice-class leader: Oh my god, Li Xiaoguan, you finally showed up! 】

【@Hou Xiaoxiao: Li Bao, have you contacted Li Xiaoguan? 】

【@Study Committee Member: Brother Sicong, I look forward to you creating a business empire in Dasheng! Also, try to use less poetry, save some for me to prepare for the imperial examination. 】

"Fuck, this is outrageous!"

Li Sicong held his head and stood there in a daze. A class group chat suddenly appeared in his mind!

"calm down."

Jiang Lili explained to Li Sicong how the whole class had traveled through time, and it took Li Sicong a long time to accept this fact.

"Hey, I also brought you the ingredients that you were blocked at the city gate."

Jiang Lili patted her backpack.

Li Sicong took Jiang Lili to find an empty warehouse. Jiang Lili called Xiaopang to teleport, and soon, wooden boxes containing food appeared in the room.

Although Li Sicong knew the wonders of Jiang Lili's backpack, he still couldn't help but marvel at it.

"Oh my God, when you get to Haizhou, you can transport seafood, grow vegetables and tropical crops, and send them to Xiaopang in a backpack. Xiaopang won't even have to pay for the rent of the farm, which will save him a lot of money."

Li Sicong's eyes lit up: "The land in modern times is much more expensive than in Haizhou."

Jiang Lili held her face and sighed, "Let's talk about it after we get to Haizhou. It's very desolate over there, and the transportation is not well developed. I guess we'll have to work hard."

"Master Liao in our class is a horticultural major, so it would be most appropriate for him to be sent to farm and open up wasteland."

The Master Liao that Jiang Lili mentioned is named Liao Ji. He is introverted and Buddhist, a little superstitious, and likes fortune-telling.

He is always unhurried and calm in everything he does, with the indifferent demeanor of a hermit, so everyone calls him Master Liao.

"I don't know where he is now. I can't even see his shadow."

Jiang Lili kept shaking her head. It was too difficult to shake a person since they traveled through time in batches.

"Tsk, don't I still have it?"

Li Sicong calculated: "My father manages more than a dozen coal mines in Linzhou, large and small, and my mother left me a lot of farms and shops."

"Wait until I conquer my father with all my strength, and the entire Linzhou will be your backer!"

Jiang Lili applauded, he was worthy of being the sales champion. He had already painted a rosy picture for the customers. Although Li Sicong was sometimes a little lacking, his strength as a sales champion was beyond words!

Thinking about the purpose of her trip, Jiang Lili told Li Sicong about the bandit suppression order.

"I've heard about the bandit suppression order. It was made by my silly brother. It was a waste of money and manpower." Li Sicong shook his head. "It's better to develop Linzhou's economy and improve the people's living standards."

"By the way, you said Guan Yue is here, where is Guan Yue?"

Jiang Lili slapped her thigh, "Ah! We left behind our mountain bandit sister."

The servant came to invite Guan Yue to the second-floor room. Guan Yue, Taozhi, Cheng Jiayu and others were already seated and eating hot pot.

"I'm going to go find the shopkeeper first. You guys take your time eating."

After giving instructions to Taozhi and Jiayu, Guan Yue followed the servant upstairs.

"Sister Yue, I've heard a lot about you!" Li Sicong smiled happily when he saw Guan Yue.

In high school, Guan Yue didn’t like eating in the cafeteria. As a day student, Li Sicong often helped Guan Yue buy meals outside the school, and he ate a lot of meals in return for kickbacks.

Guan Yue snorted unhappily, "It's hard to meet Master Li!"

Li Sicong smiled and said, "Sister Yue, don't be angry. I heard from Li Li that your village has too many people to stay. Why don't you take some of them and move them to my village? I plan to set up an escort agency to escort people who are good at fighting."

The escort agency is equivalent to the ancient logistics and security company, which can escort goods as well as dignitaries.

If you want to open up cargo transportation between Linzhou and Haizhou, a reliable escort agency is definitely indispensable.

"This is a good idea. The brothers can have a stable meal!" Guan Yue clapped her hands. "But the Linzhou City is under such tight security right now. How can they get in?"

Li Sicong smiled slightly: "Don't worry, just watch me perform."

After a while, a servant came in and said, "Master, the prefect is here and is waiting in the next box."

Li Sicong stood up, shook his robe, and then walked out in a leisurely manner.

Not long after, a dignified voice with anger rang out from the next room: "Cong'er, you asked me to attend the banquet, but you didn't even prepare the dishes?"

This sounds like the voice of the Linzhou prefect.

Jiang Lili pondered for a while and found that there was a crack in the wooden board that separated the private rooms, so she quickly called Guan Yue over to watch what was going on.

“Bang—” Then there was a crisp sound of knees hitting the ground, followed by Li Sicong’s voice: “Dad, I am unfilial and incompetent. It’s all my fault.”

Jiang Lili and Guan Yue were both startled by the sound of kneeling. This Li Xiaoguan is really adaptable!

But, haven't they already shipped the ingredients for the hot pot? It's such a big box.

Li Sicong kept admitting his mistakes but refused to explain the reasons, which left the prefect of Linzhou puzzled.

At this time, the servant next to him couldn't stand it anymore and said politely: "Master, you don't know, this is all because of the second young master--"

"Shut up! Don't say any more!" Li Sicong interrupted the servant forcefully and took the blame on himself: "Father, it's my poor management that delayed your meal. I have already asked someone to go outside the city to get the ingredients."

The prefect of Linzhou knew something was going on when he heard this, and pointed at the boy and said, "Finish your words. Why did you go outside the city to get the ingredients?"

"Master, you don't know..." The servant told the story of Master Li blocking someone.

Li Sicong tried his best to protect his brother: "Father, my brother is only doing this for the safety and order of Linzhou City. I believe he will not target me. After all, he and I are brothers!"

"If there is any fault, it is my fault. It must be my ingredients, my newly hired steward, the cook, the maid... there are all problems, so we are stuck outside the city. It is definitely not my brother's fault."

At this moment, Li Sicong was like a kind-hearted white lotus who was trying his best to protect his younger brother. He was completely different from the old-fashioned man who had just talked with Jiang Lili and Guan Yue!

Jiang Lili and Guan Yue looked at it in amazement.
