Tibet

Chapter 1014 Be Prepared
Li Dai was among the second group to set off. Pei Sanniang didn't want to go to Luoyang very much. The emperor also agreed that she could come and go freely. She could follow her if she wanted to go to Longyou, but she had no choice. She didn't want to leave her husband, so they had to go to Luoyang together.

Since Pei Sanniang let her husband take concubines, she has two more sisters. One is Wu Chunxiao, Pei Sanniang's personal maid, and the other is An Xiaotong, who was originally a dancer in Jiaofangsi. She became Li Dai's concubine.

Together with the medicine jar Jiang family, Li Dai can be regarded as having one wife and three concubines.

But one thing has not changed. Pei Sanniang still sticks to her words at home. Even her husband must obey her arrangements. None of the three concubines will be dissatisfied. Everyone knows that the status of the princess was given to her by her son.

Fortunately, the princess has a sharp tongue and a soft heart. As long as she doesn't violate her bottom line, life will be relatively easy and even comfortable.

The princess's bottom line is her son. No one is allowed to talk about her son behind his back, let alone sow discord between father and son. In fact, even if this bottom line is not mentioned, no one dares to touch it, and that is King Qi!
In addition to several concubines, Pei San's family also has a fifteen-year-old daughter Li Yun, a daughter-in-law Wang, and a three-year-old grandson Li Tong.

In addition, Li Dai's daughter Li Yun may be married to someone else. She is the grandson of Wang Jin, Li Dai's good friend and Minister of Rites. Although the other party is from a famous family in Taiyuan, Li Yun is the sister of Qi King Li Ye.

This time, a total of eight people moved to Luoyang together. There was already a house there. The big house covering an area of ​​30 acres was the house of Zhang Yizhi, Wu Zetian's favorite boy, and was given to Li Dai by the emperor.

Pei Sanniang has been busy since a month ago. The warrior leader Liu Wutong took several of his men to escort the first batch of items to Luoyang. He just came back yesterday and will set off again tomorrow.

Although Pei Sanniang is a little more complicated, the matter can always be solved. The real problem is Li Dai. What will happen to his family?
I'm leaving tomorrow, but I still haven't found a solution yet.

Yan Quanming was not young, already in his early forties. After his father Yan Gaoqing and his brother Ji Ming were murdered by Shi Siming in Changshan, his wife also died. His ten-year-old daughter was sold into a brothel by the thieves, and later Li Ye He sent people to search for him and redeemed the child. Yan Quanming missed his deceased wife and has not remarried to this day.

At this time, his wife Pei Sanniang appeared at the door and said, "Sir, Master Yan is here to visit and is waiting in the guest room!"

Before he became the director of Jinzou Academy, he was already the official of the Department of Civil Affairs, so Yan Quanming's official position was in Longyou, and he was also at the level of Deputy Sima.

Although Yan Quanming's position is the director of the Helong Jin Academy, and the director of the intelligence station is both called director, they are completely different. The director of the intelligence station is only an eighth-grade junior official, while Yan Quanming is a senior middle-level official of the fifth grade.

The person in charge of Yan was Yan Quanming, and he must be related to Longyou. Li Dai quickly got up and walked to the guest room.

In Longyou's annual assessment, his virtue ranked first every year, and no one could surpass him. This can be seen from just one small thing: his wife died young, and the Jiaofang was diagonally opposite the entrance to the Memorial Hall, and there were several nearby He never set foot in a brothel, much to the admiration of his men.

When Li Dai came to the guest hall, Yan Quanming stood up, saluted and said with a smile: "Sorry to disturb the prince!"

Li Dai sat in the study and worried. All his things were packed and shipped away. There was only a desk, a couch and a suitcase left in the study.

On the contrary, Li Ye valued Yan Quanming very much. Yan Quanming's greatest virtue was his integrity. He would not use a penny of public funds for personal use. When he visited his uncle Yan Zhenqing, he would also pay his own money to ride in an ox cart. He never had to enter the carriage of the memorial hall. His daughter and son-in-law When visiting Chang'an, he also paid for a room at Jinzouyuan Guest House.

Previously, Yan Quanming's deputy Wang Gan was bribed by Li Fuguo. Yan Quanming wrote a letter to Qi King Li Ye to plead guilty, but Li Ye did not blame him. This was not because Yan Quanming knew people poorly, but because people were unpredictable.

"You're welcome, Director Yan, please sit down!"

The two of them sat down separately, and Yan Quan asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, are you leaving tomorrow?"

Li Dai nodded, "We are leaving with the Emperor. Where is Director Yan? Is it tomorrow too?" Yan Quanming shook his head and smiled: "We are the third batch, but I may not go to Luoyang. We are another colleague from the Department of Commerce and Trade. The department has ordered Yang Shaohua to serve as the director of Jinzou Academy, the prince should know him!"

Li Dai smiled and nodded, "He was my father's staff at first, and I know him very well. So, will Director Yan change his position?"

"I still stay in Chang'an and serve as the envoy to Guanzhong."

Li Dai nodded silently. This was because his son was preparing to annex Guanzhong.

At this time, Yan Quanming turned the topic to business again. He took out a leather bag, put it on the table and pushed it to Li Dai, "This is what His Highness the Prince of Qi asked me to give to the Prince."

"What is it?"

"My lord, you will know when you open it and take a look."

Li Dai opened the leather bag and found a thick stack of land deed documents inside. He took out a few copies and was surprised and delighted, "This is... this is the house deed of Luoyang!"

Yan Quanming smiled and nodded, "They are all property deeds in Luoyang. There are sixteen houses in total, each one acre in size. His Highness King Qi entrusted officials from the Luoyang Intelligence Station to purchase them at the end of last year. They were very cheap at the time. One house only cost about a thousand dollars. I heard that the price of a house per acre has now increased to 5,000 to 6,000 yuan."

Li Dai remembered that at the end of last year, Dugu Ming mentioned to himself that the emperor had the idea of ​​​​moving the capital. This was the earliest news of moving the capital. Only a few insiders knew about it. His son took action decisively and actually bought sixteen houses. This is great. It solved my big problem and came just in time.
Li Dai clicked the number of copies and asked a little strangely: "Why is it twenty-one?"

Yan Quanming smiled and said: "The other four are restaurants and shops, and the other one is said to be the former ancestral hall of the prince's family. His Highness Prince Qi bought it together."

Li Dai was stunned. His family still had an ancestral hall in Luoyang. How come he didn't know about it at all?
He quickly asked: "Is this money paid for by King Qi himself?"

"His Royal Highness King Qi said that the wealth in his grandfather's treasure pavilion can be regarded as family property."

Li Dai was overjoyed and anxious to find his clansmen. Yan Quanming also got up and left knowingly.

At this time, Pei Sanniang walked in and saw a large stack of land deeds in her husband's hand, and asked strangely: "What are these land deeds?"

Li Dai sighed and said, "This is Ye'er's careful consideration. Last year, he purchased sixteen one-acre houses in Luoyang and four restaurants as family property. Today, Director Yan sent them."

"Is this what Ye'er paid for?" Pei Sanniang asked.

"It should be that father Lancui Lou's wealth, and Ye'er took part of it, can be regarded as returned to the family."

Pei Sanniang glared at her husband, "Grandfather inherited Lan Cui Lou from Ye'er, not your family. Ye'er took it out for his own sake. Others should not be greedy and ask for more."

"Hey! My father's suicide note has been written. Everyone knows it. I won't say anything more. Madam, don't worry. I'll go to the ancestral hall first."
