The Age of Giant Ships and Cannons Chapter 151

  Chapter 151 Engagement

  Li Qingjing sat quietly in the back, smiling at the eyes of the clan elders who were discussing fiercely in front from time to time, like a well-behaved handsome man.

  While Li Jingtun on the opposite side was no longer as confident as before, and there was a trace of nervousness in shame on his face.

  The discussion of the elders of the clans did not hide it from them. As the elders of the clans continued to discuss, Li Jingtun's face became more and more ugly.

  Although his father and grandfather continued to persuade and lure him, the balance of the elders of the clan gradually tilted towards Li Qing.

  No way, what he has now is too strong.

  Although Li Jingtun's force has won a living planet, he is only the third largest shareholder of that team, and Li Qing is the current actual controller of the Jialan Legion.

  The most important thing is that he owns a Titan super flagship and two flagships. At the same time, the dauntless flagship that will be built will also belong to him in the future. In this way, Li Qing's strength will be very terrifying.

   You must know that the highest combat power of the entire Qinghe Li family is only four Titan super-flags and three super aircraft carriers. This is the accumulation of the Qinghe Li family for more than 300 years.

He now owns one, which can be said to have directly enhanced the status and influence of their family in the entire Qinghe Li family. This change in status will directly affect their family's voice and influence in the entire family The dividend of the family's total income at the end of the year is a real and vital benefit.

   On the one hand, there is a promise that will be fulfilled in an unknown year, and on the other hand, the actual status improvement and dividend income that can be obtained immediately, there is almost no need to consider which one to choose.

   Without arguing for too long, the elders have already made a decision.

  Following the great-grandfather coughed lightly, the room fell silent, glanced at everyone present, and said in a deep voice:

   "Now let's start voting on the strength of this room's support for the two juniors, Li Jingtun and Li Qing. Vote first. If you agree to support the two juniors at the same time, please raise your hand!"

  After speaking, the scene was quiet, Li Jingtun raised his head subconsciously and looked at the clan elders.

  The first ones to raise their hands were Li Jingtun's grandfather and father, and then two elders who were close friends with them raised their hands in support.

  Obviously, they knew that it was impossible for Li Jingtun to obtain the full support of the family, so they turned to seek common support and share the support of the family equally.

But it is a pity that there are too few people who support it. Although they are of the same race, everyone is very realistic. Faced with this situation, everyone supports whoever can give more benefits. It is obvious that Li Qing can give more benefits in the future. returns will be higher.

  About a minute later, Grandpa Zeng said again:

   "Please put your hands down now, there are 5 votes for common support."

   "The voting will begin now, please raise your hand if you agree to fully cultivate one of the juniors."

   Immediately, half of the clan elders raised their hands in agreement, and then others raised their hands one after another, and soon reached eleven.

   "A total of 11 votes agreed to support the full cultivation of one of the juniors."

  Grandpa Zeng counted the votes and continued:

   "Voting now, please raise your right hand if you agree to fully support Li Jingtun, the younger generation of the clan, and raise your left hand if you agree to support Li Qing, the younger generation of the clan."

  As soon as the voice fell, everyone raised their hands one after another.

   No need to count, just a glance to find the left hand that is mostly raised.

   A minute later, great-grandfather nodded and said:

"Then, the results have come out. There are 4 votes for Li Jingtun, the younger generation of the clan, and 12 votes for Li Qing, the younger generation of the clan. This vote has decided that the clan will invest most of its resources in Li Qing. "

"According to the rules, it is not yet the fifth year of development at this stage, and the restrictions have not been relaxed, and large-scale direct support is not possible. You can prepare for it first, and support it in other ways at this stage, such as increasing the purchase limit of battleship blueprints, etc. Wait for the method, and when the five-year development period arrives in half a year or so, the restrictions will be slightly relaxed at that time, and then we will decide what kind of support method to use.”

  Great-grandfather looked at Li Qing and said:

   "What do you need most now, you can make a charter and give it to Xing Chun, we will find a way to support the past under the condition of complying with the rules."

  Li Qing clasped his hands together and said:

   "Thank you, junior!"

   Salute to the elders on the left and right.

  Great-grandfather nodded and accepted his salute, and said:

   "Helping outstanding juniors is the way of survival of the family. Support you when you are weak, and give back to the family when you grow up. When you achieve something, the family will also be proud."

   Li Qing thanked him again, his bright smile was in stark contrast to Li Jingtun who was so depressed that he didn't dare to look at him.

   Competition is what it is, winner takes all.

   So far, most of the goal of returning to the family has been completed.

  The next step is to talk about some details about the assistance, and the method of assistance, etc., and then he will discuss it directly with his father and let him pass it on.

  Li Qing thought about it and divided the support into three stages.

  The first stage is the next half year, and it will be Li Qing's fifth year of pioneering in half a year. According to the default rules, the restrictions on pioneers will be slightly relaxed after five years of pioneering.

   Not to mention later, Li Qing's request for the first half year is a total of 500 battleship blueprints, nothing else.

  But when the five-year period arrives half a year later, they will ask the clansmen to prepare a destroyer mother chip for themselves.

   In fact, you can start looking for it now, and wait half a year before selling it to him in the form of a transaction.

It is worth mentioning that the release of restrictions does not mean directly giving money to materials. There will be no restrictions until ten years later. The release of restrictions in the fifth year means that everything can be sold to pioneers at market prices. If you have the ability, you can directly take out a batch of battleships, as long as you have the money.

  The market price of standard high-end battleships is 75 billion star yuan, and one hundred ships is 7.5 trillion.

   As for the finished flagship, the restrictions are not lifted, but the blueprint is lifted. Blueprints can be sold but not directly given to the finished flagship.

As for the second round of support after five years, it is tentatively determined to be the mother chip of the destroyer, the mother chip of the space fighter, and the better mother chip of the battleship and the flagship. Don't give them any trouble.

Moreover, after the marriage, he plans to go to the isolated galaxy where Lord Senluo sleeps to dig a grave. The battle star of Lord Senluo himself is probably out of reach at this stage, but his subordinates heard from Qingluan that they are not in the same place as Lord Senluo, so they can Go take a look and see if you can dig up something good.

  A Star Sea Lord's legacy, it's exciting to think about it.

   Next, Li Qing stayed in this clan for almost half a month, and made clear about the marriage with the Yu family. Finally, he set off again after worshiping the ancestors in advance, and returned to Jinmen.

   Of course, he doesn't need to do it himself, and even the dowry is paid by the family.

  Back to Jinmen, sold all the 10 trillion yuan of refined ore transported from Qinghe, making a total profit of 13.5 trillion star yuan and 3.5 trillion yuan in blood.

   Then he didn't leave, but continued to stay in Jinmen.

   It's inevitable that there will be some demon moths out of the long night and many dreams. After the two parties communicated, they got engaged within this month.

Marriages of wealthy families are all like this. If it is some important marriages, the preparation time alone will take several months, and some will be longer, because this marriage needs to be announced to other wealthy families. The wealthy know.

It doesn't mean to be recognized by other giants. The main purpose of marriage is to combine the common interests of both parties. It is necessary to let other giants know that the two of them have joined forces to divide up the interests of Zutar, so that no matter which family of the United Human Empire wants to If you come here to share a piece of the pie, you have to deal with both of them, and you have to face both of them at the same time if you want to do anything.

   Before this, make a marriage to form a definite fact, so as not to cause any demon moths.

  For a wealthy marriage, there is no difference between an engagement and a formal marriage.

  It only took a week from my father's return to Jinmen, discussing the engagement date with Mrs. Yu, to preparing some things needed for the engagement, until the engagement date was confirmed, and invitations were sent out.

   Then it should be that the ancestor worship and other ceremonies have been completed before coming, and the rest are some routine procedures, basically he doesn't need to worry about it, just follow along.

  Time passed, and unknowingly came the day of the engagement banquet. Li Qing was dressed in a costume, and flew to the engagement place, the ancestral residence of the Yu family in Jinmen, in a luxuriously decorated aircraft.

  The engagement ceremony was very grand, but only the Yu family, the Qinghe Li family, and some big figures from Jinmen came, and no other families of the United Human Empire sent anyone.

  The engagement ceremony itself is just a ceremony to confirm the marriage, not a formal wedding.

  At the engagement banquet, Li Qing met many high-level people in Jinmen.

   Well, with his current strength and status, he is the upper-class nobleman in the eyes of others.

  Engagement is actually just a process. According to the etiquette officer's previous teachings, Yu Yuefei, who is dressed up in costumes and is beyond fair, completes the ceremony under the witness of the elders, relatives and friends of both parties, and the engagement banquet is complete.

   There are no waves, and there are no **** plots.

  At the banquet, Li Qing met many core figures of the Yu family, but only met, and agreed to talk about the affairs of the expeditionary army after the banquet. Now it is his engagement banquet, so it is not suitable to talk about things.

  Li Qing didn't stay long at the engagement banquet. After the ceremony, he led Yu Yuefei out of the banquet hall. She changed into casual clothes and went to the back of the Yu family's ancestral house to meet a big man.

  On the way, he took Yu Yuefei's little silver-wrapped hand to the antique corridor, and asked in a low voice:

   "Does the old man have any special habits?"

   Yu Yuefei, who looked extremely glamorous against the backdrop of luxurious hair accessories, smiled lightly:

   "You are usually so confident, but you also get nervous?"

  Li Qing scratched his head and said:

   "How can it be the same as today."

  She covered her mouth and chuckled, and said:

   "Grandfather is usually very kind, as long as you don't talk nonsense."

   "That's good, I won't talk nonsense."

   Tightening the soft little hand in his hand, the two looked at each other and smiled, and moved on.

She led them to the back of the manor, which is located in a canyon between the mountains behind the manor. A small stream flows out of the canyon, and the clear lake water flows into a huge lake in the manor. There are many people in it. fish.

   Entering the valley along the gravel road beside the creek, the sight suddenly opened up. There were no clusters of flowers, only the farmland was cultivated beside the creek, and the golden ears of rice swayed with the wind, like golden waves.

   On the other side is a vegetable garden, full of various claw fruits and vegetables, and a figure in sackcloth is picking vegetables in the vegetable garden wearing a straw hat.

   At the corner of the end of the small river, there is a very ordinary earth house courtyard. There are many domesticated chickens and ducks outside the gate. A big yellow dog is lying lazily basking in the sun at the door.

   "What an idyllic scenery!"

   This scene instantly brought Li Qing's memory back to the earth of the previous era.

I have always heard that the older people are, the more nostalgic they are. The older the old people among the noble families, the more they like things from the earth in the last era. Among the rich and noble families, many rituals have inherited many cultures and traditions from the ancient Chinese era. , Even after thousands of years, it has not been lost.

  Yu Yuefei let go of his hand and walked to the field after entering the valley, waving and shouting from a distance:

   "Grandpa, I'm here."

  The old man in the field got up and turned around when he heard the voice. An old man with white hair, white beard, wrinkled skin and extremely tanned skin immediately showed a happy smile on Yu Yuefei's face:

   "It's Xiaoyuefei, you came just in time. Grandpa picked some food, let's cook."

   After speaking, seeing Li Qing behind him, he said:

   "Who is this guy?"

  Li Qing immediately stepped forward and said loudly:

   "Grandpa, my name is Li Qing."

  The name great-grandfather is an informal name. It is obviously strange for such a high-ranking person to always call great-grandfather. In general, this kind of situation can be replaced by great-grandfather.

  The old man immediately showed a smile on his face:

   "It turned out to be Xiao Yuefei's husband, and you came just in time to pick some vegetables for me."

   "Good!"

  Li Qing immediately stepped forward to lift the vegetable basket, and the old man pointed to one of the vegetable shelves and said:

   "Go and pick some cucumbers and eggplants, and I'll kill a chicken."

   Talking and turning to leave, Li Qing watched him leave, then turned to look at the vegetable field, Yu Yuefei was twisting her white dress and picking beans under a bean vine, the cucumber vine was next to it.

  Li Qing came to her side with the basket ahead of time, and asked in a low voice:

   "How long has Grandpa lived in seclusion here? Is Grandma here?"

   She raised her head and thought for a while, then said:

   "I don't know how long I have lived in seclusion. Anyway, I heard from my dad that his great-grandfather lived in seclusion here as long as he could remember when he was a child, and his great-grandmother is no longer here."

   "Whoa!"

   "Come on, hurry up and pick the vegetables, and you can go over to help show it later."

"Um."

  Picked the vegetables a few times, and washed them by the stream before bringing them to the small courtyard. The big yellow dog sleeping at the door glanced up at them, and then went back to sleep.

  Yu Yuefei whispered in his ear:

   "Don't underestimate rhubarb, my dad said that rhubarb was like this when he was a child, and it is still like this now."

"Well!"

  Li Qing looked at this unpretentious big yellow dog in surprise. A normal dog can't live for so long. This is definitely a genetically modified dog. It's not even a dog at all, but some powerful genetic creation.

  Facing this seemingly ordinary big yellow dog, he walked over very low-key.

  The courtyard is also very earth-like, with an ancient well covered with moss, but he was even more surprised to see a shaking well not far from the ancient well. It is estimated that it is often used, and the iron handles are polished.

  Just as he was looking at the small courtyard in surprise, suddenly the wooden door of the hut on the left opened, and a slender figure who surprised him came out.

   I came back yesterday. I had too much dinner and drink at the end of the night before yesterday. I really can't write it out. There is only one chapter.

   When I come back, I will take a day off to recover and start saving manuscripts.

  (end of this chapter)
