"Your Majesty, that Mrs. Yang also brought twenty kilograms of gold!"
Li Chang reported in a low voice.
"Twenty pounds?"
Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, with a hesitant look on his face.
"It's the Yang family, who else?"
Li Chang gave Li Xuan a strange look, he was so realistic!
"Your Majesty, there are also the three young ladies from Duke Ying's residence!"
"Go and bring him to the main hall. I, the king, and the princess will go together!"
Li Xuan said slowly that he was not interested in the twenty kilograms of gold, but wanted to meet the strong woman who would dominate the Tang Dynasty in later generations.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Li Chang did not understand the thoughts of his own king, but as the general manager of the Jin Palace, he still went to the door to invite the family members of Duke Ying to come in.
After hearing that the King of Jin was willing to meet them, Yang and Wu Fu felt relieved.
Soon, he was brought in by the guards at the door.
As soon as they entered the village, Yang, Wu Fu and others were shocked by everything in the Li family village.
With a radius of thousands of miles, Lijiazhuang has flat cement houses arranged like military formations on one side, and shiny glass houses on the other side. There are tens of thousands of them. At a glance, it is shocking. It should be spread throughout the country.
Tang’s glass greenhouse for growing vegetables in winter.
In the hopeless Lijiazhuang, there are smooth and neat cement roads connecting everywhere!
Every farmer who passes by, regardless of age or sex, is full of smiles. Moreover, these farmers are all wearing bright woolen cotton-padded clothes, their faces are shiny, and they are much better fed and clothed than the family members of the state!
Is such a grand occasion really worthy of a farm?
It’s like a fairyland!
The four sisters, Yang and Wu Fu, couldn't help but be extremely shocked!
Especially after entering the gate of King Jin's Courtyard, although the four of them were well-educated and had their mouths closed, their eyes were still wide open and they looked around non-stop, as if they had just arrived from the wild lands of the Western Regions.
In Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, I had never seen anything like barbarians in this world!
"Mrs. Yang, you three young ladies, please wait in the main hall for a moment. The king and princess will be here shortly!"
Stopping in front of a spacious and bright house surrounded by large pieces of bright glass, Li Chang slowly reported.
At the door, two maids had already opened the door curtain.
"Thank you, Chief Manager!"
Yang, Wu Fu, mother and daughter came to their senses and quickly bowed their hands to Li Chang.
Li Chang smiled softly and didn't dare to say anything.
After inviting the four Yangs into the main hall, they saw the two rows of large and white VIP sofas neatly arranged in the main hall. The eyes of Yang, mother and daughter Wu Fu were shining brightly again.
Then, his eyes were attracted by the plates of fruits placed on the small coffee table next to him.
The Yang family and her daughter were not kept waiting for long. Before half of the plate of fruits was finished, Li Xuan and Cui Mi walked in.
Seeing Li Xuan, Yang's mother and daughter all looked shocked.
However, he still hurriedly paid his respects.
"I am from the Yang family, and I brought my three daughters to pay homage to His Highness Prince Jin. I have met Princess Jin!"
"Mrs. Yang and the three young ladies don't need to be polite!"
Li Xuan smiled lightly and helped Cui Mi sit on the main seat.
Then he asked again: "I wonder what the purpose of Mrs. Yang's coming here is?"
"Reporting to His Highness the King of Jin, I came here to thank His Highness the King of Jin for his kindness in saving me outside the city a few days ago."
Yang replied with a face full of gratitude, and then a look of confusion: "It's just that today's His Highness the King of Jin and the King of Jin who were outside the city a few days ago, why are they not the same person?"
"The King of Jin outside the city a few days ago is pretending to be the king, so you don't need to pay attention to it!"
The corners of Li Xuan's mouth twitched slightly, but he still said calmly.
"I see!"
Yang was also a smart person. He dared to pretend to be the King of Jin and offend a Duke in front of the King of Jin. There were really not many people in the Tang Dynasty who could do this.
Thinking about it, Yang shuddered.
"In addition, I heard that His Highness the King of Jin likes gold, so I brought twenty kilograms of gold that I have saved for many years as a thank you gift. Please don't dislike it!"
"Mrs. Yang is interested!"
Li Xuan's eyes flashed with joy.
Then, under the surprised gazes of the Yang family, mother and daughter, they shook their heads and refused.
"However, I cannot accept this thank you gift!"
"Ying Guogong is a hero of Taiyuan Yuanmou, and he has done a lot for me, Li Tang. After his death, my Li family has already felt guilty for not taking good care of his wife and daughter. Now, how can I still keep Mrs. Yang, mother and daughter in Chang'an?"
The cost of survival?”
On the side, Cui Mi also helped: "What Sanlang said is absolutely true, Mrs. Yang must not do this!"
Hearing this, Yang's face turned bitter.
"I am well aware of the compassionate heart of King Jin and the princess, but I am still shameless and implore His Highness the King of Jin to accept this gift of thanks. In this way, I, mother and daughter, can be safe and sound in Chang'an City without any harm."
Xiaoxiao is bullying!"
"Since you have entered Chang'an, who dares to bully you?"
Li Xuan looked angry.
"Your Highness, Prince Jin, without her husband, I have no support, but I have three beautiful daughters. How can no one covet her in a place like Chang'an?" Yang said without hesitation.
.
As early as the first sight of Li Xuan and Cui Mi, Yang's thoughts had quietly changed.
"Don't worry. As early as in Taiyuan, I and the warrior Yu have met each other several times. You can be regarded as the wife and daughter of my old friend. I will let you know today. As long as I am still alive,
I will protect you, and if any blind person dares to bully you, I will directly come to your door and seek justice for you!"
Li Xuan said angrily.
"I would like to thank His Highness King Jin for your protection!"
Yang quickly stood up and saluted Li Xuan again to express her gratitude.
"Mrs. Yang, please don't do this. The warrior Yu has done great service to my Li family. Even if I don't protect you, all the members of my Li family will protect you!" Li Xuan said repeatedly.
The faces of the Yang family, mother and daughter, were full of joy, but deep down in their hearts, no one believed what Li Xuan said.
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, I have no way to repay you for this kindness. I can only repay it with the King's favorite gold!" Yang said again.
Li Xuan: "..."
He finally suppressed the greed in his heart, but this old woman attracted him again.
"Mrs. Yang, do you know that twenty kilograms of gold today is enough to exchange for two thousand dollars in Datang Bank!"
"Go back to His Highness King Jin, the old woman knows about this!"
"In this way, these twenty kilograms of gold are enough for Mrs. Yang to buy a large house in Chang'an City, and also buy a few slaves, so that Mrs. Yang and the three young ladies will not have to worry about food and drink for five years!"
Li Xuan continued.
Hearing this, a trace of hesitation flashed across Yang's face.
After the warrior Yu passed away, the four of them, mother and daughter, completely lost their source of money. Every piece of money they had was the future life guarantee of the four of them, and it was even the dowry of her three daughters.
Suddenly, Wu Fu, who was on the left side of the Yang family, asked directly: "May I ask His Highness the King of Jin, can I buy a small house in His Highness the King of Jin's village with these twenty kilograms of gold?"
"kindness?"
Li Xuan and Cui Mi were both stunned.
Yang's expression also changed, "Fu'er?"
Immediately, he hurriedly apologized to Li Xuan with a face full of fear: "Please forgive me, Your Highness, King Jin. This daughter is my second daughter Wu Fu. The younger daughter has been growing up in the house and is not sensible. Please forgive me, King Jin and the princess."
!”
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!"
Li Xuan chuckled and waved his hand casually.
However, a hint of surprise flashed deep in his eyes.
"Auntie, my daughter is sincere!"
However, what Yang didn't expect was that the second daughter, who had always been smart and smart, changed her normal attitude this time and became very stubborn.
"My daughter, my elder sister, and my third younger sister are not very beautiful, but they are not inferior to those of the daughters of the great masters. Otherwise, I will not be unable to stay in Duke Ying's Mansion. If I wait to go back like this, what will happen in Chang'an City?"
I don’t know how many people like Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun coveted it.
In the whole world, only a Zhuangzi like His Royal Highness Prince Jin can keep my mother and daughter innocent!"
Wu Fu said with a sad look on his face.
Hearing this, Yang opened her mouth with a look of helplessness, but she did not continue to blame her second daughter, but looked at Li Xuan expectantly.
Li Xuan remained silent.
She truly deserves to be the future empress, and she grasped the opportunity very tightly.
Without turning around to look, Li Xuan knew that his princess's eyes would be full of sympathy at this moment.
Cui Mi, who comes from a wealthy family, should be the best able to understand the miserable situation of the Yang family, mother and daughter.
"The daughter of the people just wants to beg for a place to live. Please be kind to His Highness the King of Jin and be kind to the Princess!" Wu Fu quickly stood up and begged again.
"Sanlang~"
Cui Mi gently tugged on Li Xuan's sleeve, feeling a little soft-hearted.
You are inviting a wolf into the house!
Li Xuan glanced at his silly wife helplessly, but still nodded.
"Mr. Yang, Wu Fu, you must know that there are countless people in Chang'an City who want to own a house in my villa, but I have never agreed.
However, you are the wives and daughters of the warrior Yu, and you are still being bullied, so I cannot ignore it. I can make an exception and let you have a house in my village, but you also need to know that the house in my village
The construction cost is high. Just a small two-story courtyard with four houses above and below for ordinary farmers, covering an area of three thirds of land, requires twenty guan to build.
And if it is a larger courtyard, it will cost more money. Moreover, after you come to Lijiazhuang, if you want to make money, you will have to work!"
"Your Highness, Prince Jin, which house only requires twenty guan?"
What surprised Li Xuan was that after hearing what Li Xuan said, Yang and Wu Fu's faces were full of surprise.
"No, twenty guan is the cost of construction. If you move into my village, you will inevitably occupy the few fields in my village. According to the price of land around Chang'an City, one acre of land costs fifty guan, three cents
The earth requires sixteen strings!" Li Xuan explained.
"Your Majesty, Yang is willing to use twenty kilograms of gold to purchase a ten-acre house in Dawangzhuang!"
Yang's face lit up and he said quickly.
"No!"
Li Xuan shook his head very simply, "The land in my village is limited, and the largest house I can give you can only be three acres."
Yang was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly and said, "In this case, I will use twenty kilograms of gold to buy a three-acre house!"
"For a three-acre house, the homestead cost is 150 guan, and the construction cost is 180 guan. The total is 330 guan. You can just pay 330 guan."
Li Xuankou calculated it and said slowly.
Yang and Wu Fu could not help but be stunned again. They have grown up and seen all kinds of powerful people, but they have never seen such a 'real' King Jin!
Likewise, Cui Mi next to her turned red, and Li Xuan's serious approach to calculating money made her feel a little embarrassed.
Unable to bear it, he quietly tugged on Li Xuan's sleeve.
However, this time Li Xuan ignored Cui Mi and shouted directly: "Li Chang!"
"King!"
"Go to the village to find a piece of land of three acres and build a courtyard for Duke Ying's family!"
After saying that, Li Xuan looked at Yang again.
"Mrs. Yang, you can just hand over the three hundred and thirty coins to the housekeeper. Then, discuss with the housekeeper what kind of courtyard you want to build and how many rooms you need!
However, it takes at least half a year to build a courtyard, and during this period Mrs. Yang still needs to find a courtyard to live in!"
"Thank you, His Highness King Jin!"
Yang quickly stood up and saluted in gratitude.
"No need for this!"
Li Xuan waved, and then gave Yang a few words before leaving with Cui Mi.
Although Cui Mi was suspected of luring the wolf into the house, Wu Fu also acted voluntarily by sending the sheep into the tiger's mouth.
Once you enter Lijiazhuang, you will never want to enter the palace again.
As for wanting to be taken into the palace by Li Shimin in the future, and then be taken over by that kid Li Zhi...?
However, according to the way this boy Li Chengqian developed, Empress Changsun did not die of illness early, and there was no urging from stubborn old men like Yu Zhining, Kong Yingda, and Zhang Xuansu. Li Shimin was also much less harsh. More importantly, this boy Li Chengqian followed him.
In recent years, your face has become much thicker?
As long as nothing happens, Li Chengqian's mentality will not collapse, and Li Zhi will not be able to take advantage!
Then, Wu Fu could not even think of overthrowing the Tang Dynasty!
Thinking about it, the corners of Li Xuan's mouth couldn't help but curve slightly.
"Hiss~"
Just as he was thinking beautifully, Li Xuan suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his waist.
When he turned around, he saw that his princess was staring at him with evil eyes.
"Mi'er, what's wrong with you?"
"Sanlang has fallen in love with those young ladies from the Wu family?"
Cui Mi said unhappy.
"How can this be?"
Li Xuan suddenly felt a headache and quickly explained: "Mi'er, you and I have been husband and wife for several years. Don't you know what kind of person my husband is? Although he is a little greedy for money, he is by no means lustful!"
Hearing this, Cui Mi nodded slightly, Li Xuan was telling the truth.
There are no nobles in the Tang Dynasty who don't have three wives and four concubines. Many of them still keep women outside. Only his Sanlang has always doted on her for so many years. No matter how those powerful families invited people to come to matchmakers, his Sanlang didn't pay attention to any of them.
"Then why is Sanlang so soft-hearted towards the Yang family's mother and daughter? Moreover, Sanlang is particularly concerned about the second daughter of the Wu family?"
Suddenly, Cui Mi's heart moved: "However, the Yang family's mother and daughter are all very beautiful, not inferior to any daughter from a big family. Although the second daughter of the Wu family is still a little young, she is a beautiful woman. When she grows up, she will definitely become a beauty.
She is a beauty who brings disaster to the country and the people!"
"Moreover, the three sisters of the Wu family are all excellent in appearance and family, and they are all easy to give birth to. If the king likes them, it doesn't matter..."
Li Xuan was also shocked when Cui Mi said, "In this case, Mi'er is not afraid of attracting wolves into the house!"
"For so many years since I entered the Jin Palace, Sanlang has never married a concubine, let alone another concubine. Now many people in the Li clan believe that I am a jealous woman!"
Cui Mi said helplessly.
"Just in time, here are three women with good backgrounds and some pitiable qualities. If the king is willing, I will definitely welcome you!"
As for the three sisters who lured wolves into the house, Cui Mi would not take them seriously!
