Zhu Niang was obviously very motivated and followed behind, unwilling to leave. It was not until Li Yan waved her hand that she reluctantly returned to the house.
"Li Jiyi has good tricks!"
Yang Zaisi came behind him and looked at the Supi girls who were starting to study again: "It's a pity that there are still a few of these noble ladies from the subjugated country. If there are hundreds, such an offensive would be a sharp weapon against Tubo Sun Poru!"
As soon as Li Yan heard this, he knew that the Ministry of Rites had obviously considered similar means, but because the number of people was too small, he probably gave up. He nodded and said: "It's better than nothing. You can copy more. More than thirty people means more than three hundred people."
People can also be more than 3,000 people."
Yang Zaisi's eyes lit up: "What a great idea!"
Li Yandao: "However, whether it is a letter or a book translation, it must undergo strict inspection."
Yang Zaisi nodded: "I will confirm it carefully later. After all, they were taught by Liangzhou thieves. If there is a hidden secret, it will be troublesome!"
Because of Qiu Ying's relationship, the two parties were naturally somewhat close. Li Yan invited, "Can you make an appointment for dinner with Yang Jiyi?"
Yang Zaisi's face was suddenly full of smiles: "No wonder I ate less for lunch today. It was because I wanted to have a drink with Li Jiyi, haha, let's go!"
Li Yan also laughed, but just after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and turned back.
He stood at the window, determined the number of women inside, and asked: "These Supi women were thirty-five when they were brought out from Jia's house. Now there are thirty-six in the house. The extra one
who is it?"
Yang Zaisi followed, and his expression suddenly changed when he heard this, and he looked at the guards on both sides: "What's going on?"
The guards also became nervous, clenched their weapons, and were about to rush inside.
But Li Yan thought for a while, waved his hand and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go ask."
When he walked into the house, Zhu Niang hurriedly saluted, and then the young lady also stood up and saluted.
Li Yan said to Zhu Niang: "Are all Supi people here?"
Zhu Niang's face changed slightly and she didn't dare to hide it: "As for my husband, there is also a little palace maid. She comes to listen to every class. I see that she is eager to learn, so I don't stop her."
Li Yan raised his eyebrows: "Who is it?"
After the words fell, the shortest girl in the front row stood up: "It's me."
Li Yan looked surprised because this little lady was really too young.
The little girl, who was about six or seven years old, had tears of fear in her eyes under the gaze, but she tried not to fall down.
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Li Yan signaled to the guards outside that it was okay, and said gently: "Go back. No orders will be given in the future, and don't wander around at will."
"Thank you, sir!"
Tears welled up in the little lady's eyes, she bowed and ran out quickly.
Li Yan was stunned for a moment, a little bit dumbfounded.
Yang Zaisi watched the young lady running in the direction and sighed: "She is the guilty daughter of Yeting. I am afraid she is also a noble daughter of a certain family, so she is so studious!"
Li Yan nodded, suddenly remembered something, and asked: "The wife and daughter of the Qi County Magistrate who was wronged in the Jiangnan case were also sent to Yeting. Now that the truth is out, have they been returned to their place of origin?"
The guard next to him said: "Tell Li Jiyi, we don't know about this. We have to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and ask about it."
Yang Zaisi whispered: "This matter has passed, it's better to ignore it."
Li Yan thought of Zhang Yang, but was ready to show concern: "I still want to ask."
Yang Zaisi immediately said: "There is still some time before dinner, how about we drop by the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
Li Yan smiled and said: "Okay!"
The Ministry of Internal Affairs is located in the imperial city and is located on the edge.
Because the positions inside were all held by eunuchs, and in this era, eunuchs were severely discriminated against and had to step aside when walking to avoid smelling others.
When they saw the two scarlet-robed officials entering, they were immediately greeted by a chamberlain. After asking about the situation, they went to make inquiries.
Not long after, the result came: "Qi passed away a year after entering the palace, and his daughter also died more than four months ago."
Li Yan raised his eyebrows: "Unfortunate death? Is there no specific way of death?"
The chamberlain showed fear: "This is what is recorded above, and I don't know about it."
Li Yan waved his hand: "Go!"
Yang Zaisi also felt a little strange, and then showed disgust: "Is the Ministry of Internal Affairs acting so hastily now, using such vague records?"
Li Yan kept this in mind and didn't say much. After leaving the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he first sent a message to his family, asking Li Derjian and Manager Xie not to wait for him to eat. Then he smiled and said: "Let's go and reminisce about our encounter!"
…
"Dry!"
Seeing that Yang Zaisi's eyes became brighter and brighter as he drank, Li Yan was obviously a natural socializer. Li Yan was very grateful for his profound skills.
But Yang Zaisi felt very happy: "Yuanfang is so generous, I drank to the fullest today, it's so happy!"
Li Yan asked intentionally or unintentionally: "Brother Juyuan, can't we have a drink with you?"
Yang Zaisi waved his hand after hearing this: "Shen Juyuan will go crazy with alcohol. When he gets crazy, he will beat everyone he sees and can't hold him back. He has caused trouble before and almost lost his official position. I don't dare to drink more with him. Come on, do it again!"
The two drank a few more drinks, and Yang Zaisi breathed out a breath of wine, showing his drunkenness: "To be honest with Yuan Fang, it was hard for me to get the official position. I was also born in the Yang family of Hongnong. Ha, what a big name, but this is a famous family in the country.
, There are so many clans and countless clan members, how can everyone be privileged? Those like us who were down and out had to rely on the support of our clan members at first. It was not until I passed the exam that I finally got ahead."
This kind of intimate talk that seems to be drunk but not drunk is the best way to close the relationship. Li Yan also accompanied the other person to reminisce about the hardships and sweet things: "When I was in Liangzhou, I studied in the school at first, and my book bag was empty. I wrote hard every day in class.
,Copy textbooks..."
Yang Zaisi was moved by this and said with emotion: "Everyone in the world has seen the glory, but how many people know our suffering?"
Li Yan blushed when he heard this. If the high-ranking nobles also felt miserable, how could the common people in the world live?
It's really worse than suffering. Then the prince and the prince all suffer. How can anyone be perfect...
Yang Zaisi shook his head and sighed bitterly for a moment, then rolled his eyes and said, "Yuanfang, I heard from Qiu Ge leader that the Tang Dynasty is going to send an envoy to Tibet?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Yan nodded: "Li Gong asked for orders, and the saint has already agreed."
Yang Zaisi's eyes lit up slightly: "Qiu Ge leader means that you also want to go with me. Can you make the Tibetan thieves succumb to the power of the Tang Dynasty on this mission?"
Li Yan knew that he thought this was a good job, and reminded him: "This trip is dangerous, don't forget, the Tibetan ambassador Nian Zenggu died in our country."
Yang Zaisi's pupils shrank, and his expression suddenly changed: "Thank you Yuan Fang for the pointer, but if that's the case, why are Mr. Li and you doing it?"
Li Yandao: "Some things have to be done by someone."
Yang Zaisi stood up immediately: "With Li Gong's uprightness, he is about to enter the cabinet and become the prime minister. With Yuan Fang's age, he will also have a great future of becoming a general and becoming a prime minister in the future. The fact that you have such courage makes Yang awe-inspiring.
Yuanfang, I respect you!"
Li Yan stood up.
Yang Zaisi in history will also be the prime minister of the Wu Zhou Dynasty in the future. He is very good at protecting himself wisely. He is the kind of lazy political figure who does no harm to others and does nothing.
In the past, Li Yan looked down on this kind of people, but after experiencing the case of Su Weiwei, who was poisoned by a scholar, he found that he could not look at them in their youth based on their performance in history, and his attitude changed.
After Yang Zaisi drank a swig, he thought again and again, his face became a little gloomy, and he smiled bitterly: "To be honest with Yuan Fang, I originally wanted to join the envoys, but since there are such dangers, I am incompetent in literature and martial arts.
I won’t be a burden anymore.”
Li Yandao: "Brother Zaisi is so humble. With your talents, if you are sent as an envoy in the future, you will definitely have the opportunity to make meritorious service! By the way, does the current Ministry of Rites still have specific records of Lu Dong's praise of the envoy to the Tang Dynasty?"
Yang Zaixi thought for a while and said, "Yes, Lu Dongzan is indeed an outstanding person. When he was sent as envoy to the Tang Dynasty, he left an impression on the late Emperor. Many officials from the Ministry of Rites also met him."
Li Yandao: "I want to understand what kind of person this powerful official who single-handedly allowed the Gar family to dominate Tubo is."
Yang Zaisi perked up: "Okay, I can help with this! Keep drinking!"
Then he fell.
Li Yan smiled.
You have the ability to drink, and I have the magic power!
However, Yang Zaisi collapsed completely on the ground. Li Yan waited for a while and found that this man had the same taste as Su. He stopped saying anything after being drunk.
I originally wanted to ask something about Shen Juyuan, but now I had to give up. After thinking about it, I prepared to send him home in person.
Li Yan has always been a simple and obedient person and doesn't like to bring servants, so Yang Zaisi didn't bring any.
As a result, Li Yan was asked to be sent back by the waiter in the restaurant. Li Yan was worried and called out: "Come here, prepare a carriage!"
The person waiting at the door immediately went to prepare, but a moment later, he saw Manager Xie walking in: "Yuanfang!"
Li Yan was stunned: "Uncle? Why are you here?"
Manager Xie smiled and said, "You don't know, Yuan Fang, but the Yi Feng Fang building in Dongshi is already my Xie family's property. Your mother wants to transfer it to your name. I wonder if you are willing?"
Li Yan: "..."
Good guys, are you going to throw money at me to death? I have never been insulted like this!
The key point is that if you look at it this way, your behavior just now is very similar to that of a restaurant solicitor, trying to increase his own business~
He smiled: "Since it is my own restaurant, I can rest assured and arrange something safe to send Yang Jiyi back."
Manager Xie immediately summoned his confidants and carefully helped Yang Zaisi down and sent him back to the Yang Mansion.
After the outsiders left, he sat down, looked at the amount of wine the two drank, and exclaimed: "Yuanfang has a good drinking capacity!"
Li Yan said: "You need to drink in moderation. I don't usually drink like this."
Manager Xie smiled bitterly and said: "I know it too, but the Xie family has been in decline for a long time and has no support. It is often forced to have no choice but to refuse!"
Li Yan glanced at him and refused to accept the words. He said calmly: "I may have to go to Tibet as an envoy."
Manager Xie's expression changed: "Is this the will of the saint?"
Li Yandao: "It's my own idea. The matter has not yet been completed and is still in the preparation stage."
Manager Xie wanted to persuade but didn't dare, and became cautious: "Yuanfang, how can I help you?"
Li Yan asked: "Are most of the people doing business with Tubo now are Shu merchants?"
Manager Xie nodded: "Yes, Sichuan is closed, but there are abundant resources. There are also trails in Sichuan that can lead directly to Tubo territory. There are many exchanges between the two sides."
Li Yandao: "The original official route between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo had to pass through the hometown of Tuyuhun. Now that Tuyuhun has been occupied by the Gar family, and Tubo wants to bypass the Gar family, the land of Sichuan and Shu has become their primary target for trade.
Shu merchants have benefited, can they help the envoy?"
Manager Xie hurriedly said: "Businessmen see profits and should not entrust them with big things!"
He gets so cruel that he even scolds himself.
However, it is the businessmen who know the businessmen best and know that those guys may really be collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.
Li Yan nodded slightly: "Sichuan is close to Guanzhong, so it can't help them. But if you just force them, you won't get anything done. What is the most lacking in Shu?"
Manager Xie said: "Aside from the fact that the road to Shu is too difficult, the land of Shu is rich in products and there seems to be no shortage of anything."
Li Yan's eyes moved: "Since the road is difficult and dangerous, have Shu merchants been tempted by the flying money launched by the Dou Chamber of Commerce?"
Manager Xie said: "Of course I'm excited. Shu merchants have long wanted to participate, but they don't trust each other. The Dou Chamber of Commerce must firmly control the release of Feiqian. How can Shu merchants hand over their life to another chamber of commerce? The two parties will collapse."
Already."
Li Yandao: "It seems that many people have thought of it a long time ago, but it is very difficult to implement it in practice. Well, what if Feiqian is issued by the imperial court?"
This careless sentence made Xie Zhang startled for a moment, then his eyes widened and his voice trembled slightly: "Yuanfang, can this be done?"
Li Yan pondered.
Manager Xie held his breath slightly.
What this nephew said next may affect businessmen all over the world!
But judging from his expression, this must be difficult...
really.
The matter of flying money is of great importance. Should I write directly to Li Zhi?
Or go through the Northern Gate to impress Empress Wu first?
Or go to Shaoyang Courtyard and ask the prince for suggestions?
Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the troubles of happiness make it really difficult for Li Yan to choose.
