Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 361;

Chapter 360;
Du Ruhui also persuaded Li Shimin;
"Your Majesty, please rest assured that the private caravans are just businessmen. Please forgive me and say that if the Silk Road is reopened, everyone will be happy. Even if you get thirty or fifty high-quality horses, it will be good.

As for how many horses can be brought back this time, in my opinion, it is not important. What is important is that the Silk Road is opened again. This is the great cause that is related to the people's livelihood and the national economy, affects His Majesty's country, and will be passed down for generations.

If the commercial roads are still difficult to reach, our imperial court will have no losses, but it is not a hurdle that we cannot overcome if we lose some money and silk for dozens of important civil and military officials.

Not to mention the serious situation of life and death, moreover, the outcome is five or five, and it may not be impossible to succeed. Li Xianbo doesn't talk about other things, but the aura of wealth and honor in him is one of the blessings of His Majesty. Will.

Since he spread his fame from Lantian, we have benefited many times. His Majesty also said in the past that it is good luck to lead a general to succeed smoothly.

Good luck and good luck are the merits, so I think that even if one or two things can't be done, it doesn't mean anything.

As long as Li Dalang can bring blessings to His Majesty and the court, luck is a gratifying thing, not to mention that Li Xianbo is extremely powerful in this method of hair growth.

Just talking about the white wine, if it is made, after years of precipitation, its astonishing power can be seen. Only taxation is an existence that cannot be ignored, let alone your majesty, you still have half of it.

In time, the imperial court must be in a state of incomparable wealth. When the imperial court has enough money and silk, and the people have enough food and clothing,

Isn't it just like Li Xianbo said today, the people are rich and the country is strong, what a scene of prosperity, when the time comes, His Majesty will surely be famous forever, and be sung by future generations..."

It was the first time Fang Xuanling met his old partner, and he nodded frequently after saying so many words in one breath;
"Your Majesty, what Keming said is above the point. Your Majesty might as well let them go and ask them to toss and try to see if there is any effect before making a decision. If the Silk Road can be reopened, it will be a blessing in disguise. , if the result is not good, I will not agree to the second time, just teach him to toss around with us."

Li Shimin listened to Du Ruhui's rare words, describing the prosperity of the future, and it was the first time to praise himself in public, so he was in a good mood;

"What the two love ministers said is well-founded, so let's do it accordingly. As for how to do it, the two love ministers can discuss it, but even if they don't arrange for the sons of the sixteen guards to follow, at least some strong ones should be sent. Will the servant follow?"

"According to the order, rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely remind Li Xianbo to pay attention to this problem. If Your Majesty has no other instructions, I will leave."

Li Shimin waved his hand with a relaxed face;
"allow."

"The minister has retired."

Fang Xuanling followed Du Ruhui and stood up, saluting farewell;

"Your Majesty, rest early and pay attention to the health of the dragon. The minister also retired."

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui withdrew from the upper study room, they talked softly while walking, Du Ruhui was still cautious;

"The matter that Da Lang entrusted you and me is a foregone conclusion. Why don't you and I work hard again, go to the mansion of General Qin, and tell him what His Majesty agreed to, so that he can sleep How do you feel safe?"

Fang Xuanling smiled softly;
"Why do you ask me, we have always weighed the mound, and the mound is never separated from the scale. If you want to go, I will accompany you. Today he entrusted the children of the two families to bring back the roast chicken alone, and then ran again It's worth it too."

It was rare for Du Ruhui to crack a joke;

"For one roast chicken, you and I, the prime minister and important ministers, would go on a trip. It's a bit too silly. In my opinion, at least two are needed to make it worthwhile."

Seeing his old friend joking, Fang Xuanling couldn't help but tease him all the way;

"It's not difficult. I'll go to the Qin Mansion in a while. I'll remind him next to him. I'm sure we'll go back with each other before we leave."

"Hahahaha, what you said, Xuanling, seems like the old man has become that greedy cat."

The two of them went out of the palace gate, and the servants handed over the reins, and they all got on their horses together, and came to the gate of Qin Qiong's mansion. Among the servants following in Fang Xuanling's mansion, one of the servants in charge got off the horse first, and said to the guards guarding the gate;
"The left and right servants are coming, please let me know and let me enter the mansion."

"The guard at the gate saw that the guard who spoke was still here during the day, and when he heard that the left and right servants were coming, how dare he neglect, and immediately arrange a few brothers under his command;
"Help Du Shangshu and the others get off their horses and go straight into the mansion. Sanlang, go in and report to the general, and say that the two servants are coming..."

The Saburo whose name was called agreed, and quickly ran towards the yard. Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui dismounted at the same time, handed over the reins to the servants, and walked towards Qin Qiong's mansion without any haste. go.

Before reaching the main hall of the front yard, he met Qin Qiong, the general of the Zuo Jinwu Guard who came to greet him. Qin Qiong clasped his fists and said loudly;
"Qionbai sees the two servants, and the two ministers have not yet come to welcome you. Forgive your sins."

Fang Xuanling's unchanging smile remained the same for thousands of years, and he stepped forward to support Qin Qiong, being as affectionate as he wanted;
"Don't you want to be like this, the general. You are a minister in the same palace, a colleague, and you have a deep friendship in private. Why do you come to those vain rituals?"

Du Ruhui also looked at Qin Qiong with a smile;

"That's right. It's been more than ten years of hypocrisy. Shubao, don't look outside, let's talk inside. The two of us, brothers, went to the East Palace for Dalang's affairs. We just came out at this moment. I was afraid that the nephew would miss it, so we directly I came to your mansion to tell you, I hope I can call my nephew, let go of the uneasiness in my heart, and go to bed peacefully."

"Thank you to the two servants, Qiong thanked you for the useless one, please come to the two distinguished guests in the main hall, please come, tell your lord, the two servants entered the East Palace at night for his business, and he still hasn't come out to thank his uncle , when will we wait?"

A servant next to Qin Qiong immediately moved out with fists in his hands, and agreed with a loud shout;
"only!"

"Please, two ministers."

"Please."

"Uncle Bao please too."

Not to mention Qin Qiong here, he invited the two servants into the main hall, where they were seated in the landscape and white tiger painting hall to entertain them, and straight to the other side, Li Yu took the sleeping brother of the Qin family in his arms,

He was handed over to his nurse for bed. As soon as the two changed hands, Qin Huaidao was awakened. He opened his eyes and saw that the nurse was holding him. Crying and asking Li Yu to continue hugging him.

Li Yu loved this little guy very much, so he quickly picked it up again, and as soon as he hugged him, Li Yi came in;

"I want to report to you, the second steward of the front courtyard, saying that the two servants on the left and right have gone to the palace to run errands for your husband's business. Just after returning, the general told you to go and pay respects to the two servants."

Li Yu patted the back of Qin Huaidao who was in his arms, coaxed him to sleep, and said softly;
"Understood, this is the past."

After Li Yu finished speaking, he lifted his feet and left. Li Yi directed a few servants to walk beside them with lanterns, Yingxiang led Tanchun, and Xichun followed.

Qin Huaidao's wet nurse, maid, and a large group of people were strictly divided into ranks, chasing Li Yu in an orderly manner, walking behind, the whole extravagant picture of a meritorious nobleman was undoubtedly revealed, and it was almost catching up with the scene in the red building.

A group of people came to the main hall, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Qin Qiong were chatting and laughing warmly, Li Yu handed the sleepy Qin Huaidao to the nurse beside him for a while;

"Be obedient brother, I'll salute the uncles before hugging you."

Qin Huaidao nodded with narrowed eyes, Li Yu straightened his clothes, bowed down and bowed down;

"My nephew paid a visit to my two uncles, and my nephew is very grateful for the honor of the two uncles."

Du Ruhui looked at Li Yu stroking his three-inch beard kindly, Fang Xuanling said with a smile;

"My nephew is free."

"Thank you uncle."

Li Yu greeted Qin Qiong again, and then took the little guy from the wet nurse's hand. Qin Qiong felt very relieved when he saw his only beloved son being so rare by Li Yu.

The two little brothers were very close. This naughty dog, like a little toad, lay in Li Yu's arms and was about to fall asleep.

Qin Qiong's face is still calm, but looking at the eyes of the two children, there is as much warmth as you want;

"Sit down, just sit down and talk."

"Yes, uncle."

As soon as Li Yu sat down, Qin Qiong waved his hand and ordered the servants in the room;
"Everyone back down."

"only!"

"Yes."

"promise."

Seeing all the servants filing out, Fang Xuanling spoke first;
"Your Majesty, we two old fellows have already reported it, and His Majesty has also approved your idea and agreed to give it a go. This time, you can prepare with peace of mind."

Li Yu hugged Qin Huaidao, found a suitable sitting position, and responded in a low voice;
"To the three uncles, my nephew has been preparing for the matter for a long time, and I can leave immediately when the tea leaves from the south come over.

Those iron pots that have been made have enough stored in the warehouse. I plan to take out half of the silk and satin in the warehouse this time, and each family will also quickly prepare silk and other items.

The servants fly the pigeons to pass on the letter, and the tea will be brought back to Lantian Zhuangzi in another three days. There are a total of 63 cars. The time is tight and it is not easy to delay. Returned empty-handed. "

Du Ruhui immediately took over the conversation;

"Does each family only need to prepare silk and satin, but they also need other things. If it is really successful, how to get back the cattle, horses and sheep is the biggest problem."

Fang Xuanling also nodded and said;

"Brother Keming is right. If a lot of living things are really exchanged, how to get them back is a big deal."

Qin Qiong thought carefully for a few times, and began to express her opinion, but her words lost her former self-confidence, and instead she still had a lot of hesitation;

"Since you can't send the sons of the sixteen guards to escort you,...is it possible to ask the sons to disguise themselves as ordinary people after returning the living things, or send servants to go to the border gate to meet them? The two servants have a look. Can this be done?"

As soon as Qin Qiong's words fell to the ground, Du Ruhui immediately made an attributive sentence;
"That's not right, Shubao asked the sons to dress up as servants of the common people. Although it can be used to conceal people's eyes and ears, but such a large-scale caravan is dispatched, those thieves on the grassland must follow all the way to find out what happened.

Those people had a lot of contact with the sons of my Han people. The sons of the Sixteenth Guards naturally revealed the breath of the barracks when they walked. Compared with the common people, it was too obvious.

How can I hide it from the spies on the grassland? If the matter is revealed, the restart of the Silk Road will become a one-shot deal. It will be a great loss to the people of our world, and it will be even more so to the court...

Therefore, this time, the people of the Central Plains will replace the imperial court to open up trade routes. "

Qin Qiong also frowned, explaining in a low voice;

"I also think it's inappropriate, so I don't have the confidence to say it. If you don't ask the sons and daughters to do it, just count on a group of people who have no experience and haven't traveled a long way to do it, this..."

Fang Xuanling interjected easily upon hearing this;

"Don't worry, General, you can arrange more servants to go. For now, we can only make up for the shortcomings with quantity..."
