Lu Meng is the most idle person.
People are idle and tired.
He had read Liu An's letter more than ten times, sitting in his office room, constantly thinking about the next response.
When Li Han left Beijing and returned to his hometown, Xiang Minzhong set out to the northwest, the court began to argue about this matter.
A few more days passed.
Li Han was about to leave Beijing and return home. He was from Handan and could take a boat from Bianliang to Handan directly, and even the emperor came to see him off in person.
When Li Han arrived at the pier, he found that there were crowds of people.
There are at least a thousand people inside the pier, and nearly a thousand people outside the pier.
Li Wei's eyes were red.
He was honest and dedicated to serving the people. At this time, he had so many people spontaneously coming to see him off. Li Feng felt indescribable in his heart.
Looking at the crowd, he was about to write a poem.
His disciples and former officials closed their mouths tactfully when they saw Li Feng brewing.
But Kou Zhun shook his head, he knew that these people were not here to send Li Han.
At this moment, someone shouted: "Here, come."
What's coming?
Li Ying found that the crowd began to leave, and few people came to him.
In the distance, a large ship was vaguely visible and then got closer and closer.
On the main sail is a Song character that is ten feet tall, and then there are flags hanging on both sides of the bow of the ship, with stones written on the other side and Liu. Then one after another of the ships appeared in sight, hanging flags of various font sizes.
The fleet stretched for more than ten miles.
The first ship was fine, but when the second ship approached the dock, dozens of Xixia girls stood at the bow of the ship, cheering and cheering.
What's going on?
Li Han was stunned.
Not to mention that Li Yan was confused, even the emperor who came over at this time and was about to send Li Yan away from Beijing in person was also confused.
A quarter of an hour later, Liu Lang stood in front of the emperor with a sweat on his head.
"Crab, grass people..."
"Looking at the same time, I still like An Ge'er." The emperor just wanted to know the truth.
Li Han had impeached Liu An just now.
The Song Dynasty had strictly prohibited population trading, and the relationship between slaves and masters was not personal dependence, but employment relationship.
For example, their family does not want to leave the Pan family, so they sign for ten years according to Song Lu, and sign for another ten years after the expiration. Anyway, they don’t want to leave.
But Tietou is leaving, and no one can stop the signing period.
Because there were no slaves in the Great Song Dynasty.
In Liu Lang's fleet, there were thousands of young women with beautiful young men, and hundreds of strong young men. If this matter is really a matter of being a slave, even Liu An would be sent to Leizhou.
Liu Lang finally recovered from his fear: "This is the case with the official family. The Liao Kingdom conferred Dangxiang Li Jiqian as King of Xia. These are people from his family, with wives and concubines. Caomin was from the Song Dynasty. According to the records of Dangxiang's humanities, they are property, but the Song Dynasty does not sell slaves."
"Yeah." The emperor nodded slightly.
Liu Lang continued: "But they have no place to live in Xiazhou, so Caomin took them to Bianliang. If anyone signs as a female envoy or manpower, Caomin hopes to get some shipping and some food expenses."
Li Weng asked: "How much do you collect?"
"Carry one year's appointment."
Li Peng sighed helplessly, he didn't want to say anything more.
This is still a slave trader, just stepping on the connection between the Song Dynasty and the Dalu. If you don’t have money to earn, this fat man would not work so hard to bring people back.
The dock is now in chaos again.
fight.
Several gangs of people who were responsible for carrying goods at the dock robbed the business and started fighting.
When the imperial guards passed by, they let the fighters have peace with just a few whips.
Only then did the emperor realize that there were still 150,000 sheepskins, 200,000 feet of horse skin, cured meat, and one million kilograms of dried meat on the ship.
This is not a piece of shit.
Moreover, before Liu Langren entered Bianliang, all these goods had taken action.
Several largest fur merchants in Bianliang have redeemed the goods, and half of the money has been sent to Liu Lang's house. The taxes that need to be paid to Bianliang City will be pulled in a carriage to the relevant yamen.
Li Weng got on the boat.
He didn't want to write poems anymore, so he left calmly, looking at the still noisy pier. Li Han sighed: His era is over.
On the way back to the palace, the emperor was blocked by a continuous convoy.
These are just queues to pay taxes.
Fifty thousand yuan is three hundred kilograms, and a carriage that is poor can be used to get 100,000 yuan, and the good one is 150,000 yuan.
It's only 150,000 yuan.
The tax that the fleet needs to pay when it comes back this time is tens of thousands of yuan. For at least half a month, the main street will be blocked by the tax-paying carriages.
The emperor took a detour.
Since ascending the throne, the emperor has needed a detour on his way back to the palace for the first time.
Liu Lang had the first chance to enter the palace and also had the imperial banquet reward.
The Northwest Expedition Federation, led by Liu Lang, had a total of five people who got the opportunity to enter the palace this time.
A night pearl as big as an egg, a pure black mink coat without a single hair, and a string of multi-colored agate are the respect given to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty by the Northwest Expedition Federation.
"I received my intention. I took the things back." The emperor refused to accept them.
The emperor was indeed a very frugal person. He had little desire for luxury goods, and it was a gift from ordinary people among the people, so he didn't want to accept it.
Liu Lang took a step forward and just bowed. The Song Dynasty did not kneel down.
Liu Lang said: "If it weren't for the wise and wise of the official family, we would not have the opportunity to make a fortune in the northwest this time. Caomin represented 171 companies and shopkeepers in the business, with a total of 8,719 people, and his family members, and more than 30,000 people. Thanks to the official family for letting us Caomin have new clothes and meat to eat during the New Year."
After hearing this, Kou Zhun said lightly: "Officials, please accept it."
The emperor felt an incomparable sense of pride and satisfaction.
Because one of his decisions was correct, many people were actually happy, and this gift seemed to be handy.
The emperor said: "I would like to give four large dressings, ten small dressings, and hundreds of jars of imperial wine. Today, I will give another jar of imperial wine."
"Thank you."
It is impossible to eat, and these dishes are destined to be packed and sent home.
After Kou Zhun asked two questions, he signaled that Liu Lang and the other five could leave the palace.
After Liu Lang left, Kou Zhun said to the emperor: "Officials, they have been talking about things that are not important to the northwest. They can get answers to anything they ask. If it is important, they will not mention a single word."
But the emperor said: "The people do not know military affairs or government affairs, so there is nothing."
Kou Zhun didn't say anything else, but he knew in his heart that Liu An must have tricks to let these people stop talking nonsense.
Not to mention anything else, this marten, this night pearl. The largest merchants in Bianliang City may not be able to take it out, and these small and medium-sized merchants can't take it out. This is definitely something in the Dangxiang Palace.
What exactly happened in Xiazhou?
Kou Zhun really wanted to take a look at it himself.
The royal palace in Xiazhou?
Now it is an open space, a piece of open space.
Not to mention trees, even the floor tiles were dug out and numbered. This was planned to be transported back to Bianliang and rebuilt as it was in the right place.
It is not too easy for craftsmen in the Song Dynasty to do such things.
