Chapter 628 Eighteen people are enough
Chapter 620 Eighteen people are enough
Li Xian and Ye Huaixiu and Zhang Xiaodi were standing by the Wei River for a while and preparing to return to the tent, they suddenly saw a horn sound from the north Naval Camp, which was a warning. Four or five centipede and fast sailboats were immediately on the way upstream, and in a blink of an eye it disappeared behind the ship.
Li Xian frowned slightly at the other side. The sound of the horn was not anxious. Obviously it was not an enemy attack. If so, Chen Queer and Lai Yuan would not only send a few centipede and fastboats to check up. He walked towards the navy. Ye Huaixu followed behind him and whispered: "It shouldn't be a big deal. Maybe some fishing boat broke in accidentally."
Li Xian nodded, and before he reached the camp, Laiyuan brought a few personal soldiers to meet him quickly.
"Master"
Lai Yuan bowed and said, "A lot of giant wood rafts were put down from the upstream and almost hit the big ship outside. General Chen was taking people to check. It was a merchant who transported wood to Chang'an City. Merchants who trafficked wood from the north usually used this method to transport giant wood. Tie tied the wood together and went downstream like a big ship, which was convenient and saves manpower and material resources."
"Which businessman is this big deal?"
"It should be the martial arts family"
Lai Yuan said: "Most of the timber business in the north is held in the hands of the Wu family. Since the founding of Li Tang, the Wu family has been designated as the imperial merchants and has become much stronger. It is very expensive to transport such a large number of giant trees, which ordinary merchants cannot afford. Those who work hard in this way, probably the giant trees laid down along the river are sent to Chang'an City to build the Yong'an Palace."
"Wu Family?"
Li Xian's heart tightened slightly and asked subconsciously: "Samurai?"
Lai Yuan said, "I didn't expect that the lord also heard of this man. When he was in Huaiyuan Town, western Liaoning, he became an official under Li Yuan's command. Later, after the defeat in Liaodong, he returned home to continue his business. Later, Li Yuan raised an army and donated a lot of money and grain. The identity of the imperial merchant was specially rewarded by Li Yuan. With this identity, the business of the Wu family became bigger and bigger. In Chang'an City, the construction of timber should be carried over by the Wu family."
"After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan was grateful to the Wu family's generosity and righteousness, and appointed Wu Shiyu as Duke of Taiyuan County and promoted to Minister of Works, which was highly valued. The construction of Yong'an Palace was hosted by Wu Shifu, and Yuwen Kai was the master craftsman of the supervisor."
"It's a capable one."
Li Xian commented.
Speaking of which, the Wu family's success is indeed a miracle. The status of merchants was extremely low in the Sui Dynasty. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce would choose to do business unless they were desperate. Anyone who still had a bite of food would rather live on a few acres of thin land than to lower their status to do business. Even if they make a fortune, they are still not as good as a farmer. It is precisely because the samurai has an unparalleled political vision that Li Yuan would sooner or later achieve great things, so he devoted all his family property to support him.
He was born as a merchant and became the Minister of Works of the Tang Dynasty in just a few years. Such a history of success is amazing no matter what. It can be said that he is a master of his own and established a family.
"Wu Shitao worked in the Tang Dynasty, and his eldest son Wu Yuanqing has also entered the officialdom. His second son Wu Yuanshuang is now the head of the Wu family's shop. Speaking of which, the father and son of the Wu family are all very capable. This time, this time, Wu Yuanshuang was responsible for escorting it himself. After all, these woods were used to build the Yong'an Palace."
Lai Yuan explained seriously.
Li Xian nodded, thinking that this warrior was not as capable as his daughter. Today's day seems a bit unusual. First, he met the famous eunuch in history. Now, could he have to see Wu Zhao in advance? Just as he thought about this, he was suddenly shocked, and finally knew that something was wrong just now and what was going on.
Feng Yuanyi is from Panzhou, and in Guangdong, why did the shepherd boy he met is from Chang'an? Moreover, Feng Yuanyi in history was born decades later, so why did he appear so early? Did he change not only some details after this era, but even time became confused? If the person who should have appeared decades later appeared so early, then wouldn't that Wu Meiniang be already an adult?
Thinking of this, Li Xian couldn't help but shivered.
"Bring people to the orphan."
Li Xian gave an order and then turned around and left, but what he was thinking was what if he really met Wu Yue (Wu Meiniang), what he should do? Could it be that he would kill him with one knife just because he knew that she would be the queen in the future?
Not long after he walked back to the tent and sat down, Chen Que'er and Lai Yuan led a strong man with dark face to the door. The man was very respectful and leaned over slightly in his walking posture. The smile on his face looked sincere and humble, but the femininity that was deliberately concealed between his eyebrows and eyes could still be seen if he looked carefully.
"Mr. Wu Yuanshuang, pay homage to Your Highness!"
As soon as Wu Yuanshuang entered the tent, he bowed and bowed loudly, holding his hands in front of his chest. He was also a person with fame and fortune, and he was the only one in the world who was an official businessman.
"Get up."
Li Xian glanced at him and couldn't help but smile. Wu Yuanshuang was not tall, and if she was compared with Li Xian, she could only reach his shoulders. Her face was dark, her thick eyebrows were small eyes, a flat nose, a big mouth, and a beard. If she didn't look carefully, she looked like a Hu.
Li Xian couldn't help but think that in this way, how beautiful could his sister Wu date be?
...
...
When Wu Yuanshuang left Li Xian's tent, he was filled with joy. He thought that the collision with King Yan's warship would not be resolved too easily. Who would have thought that the murderous god Yan, who had at least hundreds of thousands of lives, was actually a young man with a bit of bookish aura. He just asked his family's business and family casually, and ordered the release, and sent more than a dozen centipede and clutch ships to escort hundreds of elite soldiers along the way.
Although this place is less than 70 miles away from Chang'an City, there will naturally be no robbers in the important areas of the capital. Besides, the Wu family is not afraid of robbers, but why would he not be more proud of the King of Yan take the initiative to show his favor? Thinking that the Wu family is just a businessman who sells wood, and in just a few years it has become a real official family, Wu Yuanshuang couldn't help but feel a little moved, and admires his father's Samurai Huo's original judgment.
Although he had not entered the official position, his father was the Minister of Works and his eldest brother Wu Yuanqing served in the imperial guards. How could he have never heard of the hidden identity of the King of Yan?
The King of Yan is so polite, so he naturally values the current status of the Wu family.
After returning to the fleet, he personally selected a few rare treasures he collected this time and sent them to the Yan King's tent, including many exquisitely crafted Persian gold and silver utensils, and several of them were extremely precious. This was originally intended to be dedicated to His Majesty, but Wu Yuanshuang took them out and presented them to Li Xian without any sense of anything wrong.
Although he had just returned to Chang'an, how could he not know the big thing that happened in Chang'an City? The King of Qin rebelled and the Crown Prince was assassinated. If the identity of King Yan Li Xian was true, then he would definitely be valued by His Majesty. At the very least, he was also a big man who guarded the country. The Wu family would never suffer any loss when making friends with such people.
What he didn't know was that shortly after he left Li Xian's tent, a burst of extremely happy and unrestrained laughter came from the tent. None of the personal soldiers standing outside understood why the lord was so happy today.
"No!"
Li Xian laughed loudly, laughing so hard that he leaned forward and backward.
"No, there is no!"
He smiled and said these words to himself. Ye Huaixue, who was standing beside him, looked a little stunned and couldn't help but ask softly: "What's there?"
"Nothing!"
Li Xian waved his hand, making his stomach hurt a little.
Seeing Ye Huaixue's look surprised, he immediately explained: "The Warrior Huo has no daughter at all. Wouldn't this be something worth laughing about? There was no, there was no! I was surprised when I met Feng Yuanyi before, but now I know how I can't be unhappy without Wu Zhao."
"Would it be worth having a daughter without a samurai?
Ye Huaixue asked in confusion.
"God's will!"
After smirking enough, Li Xian sighed: "God gave me big gifts one after another, how dare I belittle myself? The old nun once said that I have 260 years of respect, too few, too few, what should be there, what should not be there, but what should not be there, God is so kind to me. If God does not leave behind a thousand years of prosperity, how can I be worthy of God's opening such a big bug to me?"
Ye Huaixue was even more stupid. He knew that Li Xian often said something inexplicable, but she really didn't understand what she said today, and she didn't understand a word.
...
...
Li Xian sat next to the table, picked up his pen and wrote a few big words on rice paper.
Sigh
After writing, he looked at the four words and pursed his lips, and his smile seemed a little stupid. He was the only one in the tent, Ye Huaixue and Xiao Di had left, and Chen Queer and Lai Yuan also returned to the Navy ship. No one shared his mood when he wrote these four words, but Li Xian still felt that it was worth being happy.
These four words were given to him by him. He can be proud, but he must not be overly proud. Now the situation is very good, and there are not many problems he needs to face now. Although the remaining few are really difficult to deal with, since he started preparing early, he would not allow himself to make any mistakes.
If you write these four words in cursive style, you will be shocked and unable to speak if you see them. Speaking of which, Li Xian is not a gentleman, but the vulgarity in these four words is so arrogant no matter how you look at it. Speaking of which, Li Xian always thinks he is a vulgar person.
In his eyes, people who have desires for money from power women are vulgar, and the stronger the desire, the more vulgar it is.
"Big vulgar!"
Li Xian whispered two words, then kneaded the rice paper into a ball and threw it aside. He sat down on the chair and began to think carefully about how to deal with it tomorrow when he entered Chang'an City. Speaking of which, although he had already thought about what kind of attitude he would appear in front of Li Yuan, for the old fox who had plotted against others for the rest of his life, he would show his flaws if he was not careful.
It has come to this point, and Li Xian will never allow any more mistakes.
"Master!"
Someone outside the door whispered: "The people from Daowei Camp have already been picked out. Do you want to explain a few words?"
It was Xie Yingdeng's voice. Li Xian thought for a while and said, "There seems to be a little more than sixty people. I will carefully choose one of these sixty people and bring eighteen people into the city alone."
"Leng Yi counted one."
He added another sentence.
Xie Yingdeng outside the door was stunned, his face turned a little ugly: "Only eighteen people are brought into the city?"
"Eighteen Elf Elf Riders, enough!"
