The governor of Qingzhou and the captain of Qingzhou Zhechong, as well as the heads of nearby aristocratic families, also learned that the Supreme Emperor came to Qingzhou, and there were all kinds of rare treasures, pairs of unparalleled Goguryeo prostitutes, all in a cart.
A large car was sent to the other courtyard.
However, before reaching the door, Li Xuan ordered Xue Rengui to drive him back because the emperor needed to rest.
Only some medicinal materials can be left behind.
Even the governor of Qingzhou and the captain of Qingzhou Zhechong did not receive him.
In this regard, all the officials from aristocratic families also looked helpless.
Five days later.
At Li Yuan's urging, Li Xuancai took Li Chengqian, Xue Rengui and others, as well as three large steel ships, to Goguryeo.
On the sea, various fishing boats are like stars, densely scattered all over the sea.
Among them, there are also fleets of ships traveling between Goguryeo and Qingzhou seaport.
And every ship that saw Li Xuan's three large steel ships quickly moved out of the way.
"I didn't expect that this sea area would be so prosperous now!"
Li Yuan's face was filled with emotion.
Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others also looked amazed.
"Aweng, when I came here a few years ago, there were only a few small boats scattered in this sea area!"
"Dozens of powerful people and powerful families visited Goguryeo. In order to develop their city, those powerful families and powerful people would naturally work hard to transport utensils, salt, glass and other items from the Tang Dynasty to Goguryeo."
"Humph, they are all a bunch of white-eyed wolves!"
Cheng Chusi said disdainfully.
Li Chongyi, Chang Sun Chong and others on the side just wanted to nod in agreement.
"Tsk!"
Li Xuan sneered directly, "Your Cheng family doesn't have a city in Goguryeo? Or are there no ships from your Cheng family among these ships?"
"Forehead!"
Cheng Chusi looked embarrassed.
"However, there are many items in Goguryeo that are not available in the Tang Dynasty, especially iron ore and some medicinal materials, which can be transported back to the Tang Dynasty. This can be regarded as making up for the shortcomings of the Tang Dynasty!" Li Xuanqing
smiled.
"Moreover, the people in coastal cities such as Qingzhou and Dengzhou will also be able to make more money because of these caravans." Li Chengqian also said.
"Exactly!"
Li Xuan glanced at Li Chengqian appreciatively.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and others subconsciously stared at a large ship passing by.
"Third uncle, are those all..."
Li Chengqian said with some doubts.
"It should be the Goguryeo slave girl!"
Li Xuan sighed softly and nodded in acknowledgement.
"Hey, Gao Ming, don't you know that now in Chang'an, most of the wealthy families have raised Goguryeo female slaves, then Japanese female slaves, and then there are also Silla female slaves and Baekje female slaves?"
Cheng Chusi grinned with a proud smile on his face.
"So the Cheng family must have raised a lot?"
Li Xuan couldn't help but glare at Cheng Chusi.
Cheng Chusi was startled, and he quickly sneered and said: "Master, my Cheng family is also the Duke's residence after all, and is raised by other dignitaries. It would be inappropriate for my Cheng family not to raise it."
Moreover, these female slaves are not expensive, so you can keep a few, but these female slaves are obedient and easy to control..."
"Coarse goods..."
Li Xuan glared at him and stopped talking to him.
Raising female slaves was the favorite thing of the powerful men of the Tang Dynasty, and he had no control over it.
However, it is better to raise female slaves from other countries than to ruin the Tang Dynasty.
"Aye, what is a female slave? Why don't we have one in our family?"
Suddenly, Li Chenglu, who was watching with clairvoyance for a long time, asked with curiosity on his face.
Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and others were stunned for a moment, then smiled evilly.
However, Li Xuan and Li Yuan were aside and they did not dare to say anything.
"Female slaves are servants who serve them with feces and urine, but they are all women."
Li Xuan said casually.
"Then why are these brothers raised by their families but not ours?"
Li Chenglu asked again.
"That's because they are extremely lazy, or they have people with mobility difficulties in their families who need someone standing by to take care of them all the time." Li Xuan replied.
"So that's it. Even the old housekeeper in our house is very efficient and doesn't need anyone else to take care of him all the time!"
Li Chenglu said seriously.
"Exactly!"
Li Xuan nodded.
"Then Aye, will you need female slaves when you get old?"
Li Chenglu thought for a while and asked again.
"Aye no!"
Li Xuan said, "The servants in the house can take good care of Aye!"
"profound……"
Li Chenglu nodded slightly, "But why do they keep female slaves? Don't they have any servants in their house?"
"Because they have vanity!"
"Aye, what is vanity?"
"It's just a boring comparison mentality. They are empty in their hearts and have no other goals, so they start to compare with each other. They want to have what others have, and what they want, everyone can actually achieve.
However, they don’t dare to compare with anything they really can’t get!
For example, our Lijiazhuang..."
…
After the conversation on the boat that day, Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and others all had red faces.
At the same time, I no longer dare to discuss things that children cannot know in front of Li Chenglu.
So, three days later.
Li Xuan's fleet arrived at Yashan Harbor.
At this moment, Yashan Harbor has been greatly changed. It is more than ten times larger than the harbor when Li Xuan captured it.
Correspondingly, it has become countless times more prosperous, and ships loaded with cargo are sailing out of the harbor all the time.
"The last general, Yashan Harbor Navy Commander Shi Bohua, who is this noble person?"
When Li Xuan's fleet was still dozens of miles away from Yashan Harbor, soldiers had already reported to Shi Bohua.
Shi Bohua, on the other hand, quickly led a group of generals under his command to greet him at the harbor.
Shi Bohua had no doubt about the valuable identity of the visitor.
Three giant steel ships are enough to prove that the visitor must be a big shot!
Because none of their kings owns a giant steel ship.
"My king Li Xuanba, where are Li Yuanjing now?"
"The last general, Shi Bohua, visited His Highness the King of Jin and met all the gentlemen!"
When he heard that the person who came was actually the King of Jin, Shi Bohua's eyes widened and he was so excited that he quickly led all his subordinates to salute.
As for Li Yuan, Li Chengqian and others on the side, Li Xuan did not introduce them.
As for Shi Bohua and others, they didn't know what kind of noble group they were facing.
However, just one Jin Wang was enough for them to serve them like their ancestors.
"Your Highness, Prince Jin, forgive me. Your Majesty did not know that Prince Jin was coming and is still in Pyongyang City at the moment."
"No problem!"
Li Xuan chuckled softly, "You are ready to board ten carriages. I can just go directly to Pyongyang City to find Yuan Jing!"
"Yes, His Highness King Jin!"
Shi Bohua quickly responded with a solemn expression, and then ordered his subordinates behind him.
