Outside Dong'an Gate, there is the second treasurer of Guanglu Temple Yamen.
Hu Guan, the consort, was wearing a fur coat. He glanced at the warehouse from a distance and immediately retracted his head.
"Haha, it looks like he has entered the Palace of Hell!" Hu Guan said with a smile.
The treasurer who nodded and bowed next to him smiled and said, "Prince-in-law, you may not think that these foreign women are intimidating, but they are quite gentle in temperament."
"Tsk, tsk, this is a woman too?" Hu Guan couldn't help but look at it again and shook his head, "How can you look like a woman?" He covered his nose and continued, "Did they pee on themselves? Why are they like this?
Smelly?"
As he said that, he looked at the warehouse where people were also placed on the other side, "In comparison, those Korean women are still pleasing to the eye."
"That's right!" the treasurer said with a smile, "At least he has some semblance!"
At the end of the new year, Guanglu Temple was busy. It was already responsible for the royal banquets, sacrificial ceremonies, and the classification and recording of annual tributes from various places. Suddenly, another group of people came from the north and the south.
The large number of living people makes them even more busy, and what is more difficult is how to deal with these people.
At this moment, a petty official came in to report that Cao Guogong Li Jinglong had arrived.
Not long after he finished speaking, Li Jinglong came in from the outside with a few soldiers in a hurry.
"Gong Cao Guo!"
"Prince-in-law!"
After the two of them bowed their hands in greeting, Hu Guan smiled and said, "Are you here on orders?"
Li Jinglong nodded, "I'll leave it to you, I'm ordered to deal with these women who paid tribute."
As he spoke, he suddenly wrinkled his nose and took two steps back, "What does it smell like? Are foxes raised in Guanglu Temple?"
"Over there!" Hu Guan smiled bitterly and pointed to the place where the Wunu girl was placed. It was originally a warehouse, but it was temporarily renovated and used as a place to stay.
Li Jinglong followed the other person's direction and looked over. He couldn't see clearly for a moment, so he involuntarily took a few steps forward and stretched his neck to look inside.
Coincidentally, there were several Unu women inside who also looked out, their round white eyes staring straight at them, more white than black.
"My dear!" Li Jinglong couldn't help but spit out a Huaixi dialect and continued to look at him.
Those Unu women had curly hair and shiny skin, and they were all tall, round-waisted and strong-bodied.
"Are all girls like this? How can I be a man?" Li Jinglong said, suddenly laughing, "If we were in the army and formed a single battalion of black slaves, it would be quite scary to look at it, regardless of whether we can fight or not!" said Li Jinglong.
He looked up and laughed, "Such a black face and fangs, like a man-eating demon!"
"Not only is it scary!" Hu Guan said with a smile, "It's also irritating!"
"What do the Shipping Department think about this tribute thing?" Li Jinglong looked at it a few more times, covered his nose and shook his head.
Hu Guan put his hands in his sleeves, "I heard that the big food merchants brought him from thousands of miles away to pay tribute." As he said this, he frowned impatiently, "How will Duke Cao deal with it? It's twenty-nine today, and I'm looking at you now.
It’s getting dark, and I have to go home to worship my ancestors!”
"The Korean girl will be placed first and she will be raised here for a few days. The emperor has a decree to select meritorious people from the army for marriage!" Li Jinglong said, "As for these black slaves, they will be loaded into the car after counting their numbers."
"Where to send it?" Hu Guan asked.
"Send it to the vassal kings!" Li Jinglong said with a smile.
"Ah?" Hu Guan was stunned.
"The emperor said that the world is so vast that it is tens of thousands of miles away!" Li Jinglong said with a smile, "Send these Wu slaves to the vassal kings so that they can open their eyes and see people who are not of the same species as us and get to know them.
, the customs and customs thousands of miles away!”
"Do you think they look human?" Hu Guan raised his shoulders, "I've been here watching them all day. They don't eat or sit around each other, they talk in a gibberish tone, they look like savages!"
After saying that, he cupped his hands and said, "Since it is up to Duke Cao to deal with these slaves, I will resign and take the first step!"
"Your Majesty, please!" Li Jinglong said with a smile.
Unexpectedly, Hu Guan took a few steps, hesitated for a moment and then turned back.
"Is there anything else, Prince Consort?" Li Jinglong said with a smile.
"Master, didn't you listen?" Hu Guanxiao asked.
Li Jinglong rolled his eyes and said, "Prince-in-law, please stop showing off between us!"
Seeing no one around, Hu Guan said in a low voice, "What a happy event. In March of the new year, King An will marry the daughter of the Duke of Wei at the age of 1,000!"
"I know this. What's worth whispering about?" Li Jinglong thought in his mind.
"Last night I went to Yong'an Palace for an audience. The Emperor wanted me and Mei Yin to preside over the wedding!" Hu Guan continued, "I thought about it. You know that I am stupid. So, I just followed the Emperor.
Recommended you!”
"Another fucking hard job!" Li Jinglong cursed in his heart, but smiled and said, "Thank you so much for your recommendation, Prince Consort!"
It is decent to officiate the wedding of a prince, but the complexity involved is not something that ordinary people can handle.
"Besides, I heard what the Supreme Emperor said!" Hu Guan continued, "The little princess of the Jin family is about to pay her filial piety, and her marriage to your young master will be in May or June!"
"Shouldn't it be three years for filial piety...?"
"The Supreme Emperor follows the rules of his hometown in Huaixi. Men stay for three years, and women stay for more than one year." Hu Guan continued, "Besides, I heard from the Supreme Emperor that the King of Jin died young, and the marriages of these grandchildren should be arranged sooner rather than later.
.The Supreme Emperor said that while he is still strong, he can watch these children and grandchildren get married."
Li Jinglong thought about it and hurriedly raised his hands and said, "Thank you so much, Prince Consort!" He said with a smile, "I thought it would be delayed, but my family has prepared everything. If I were caught off guard, it would be a big joke.
"
His son Li Qishang was married to the princess of the Jin Dynasty, who was the legitimate grandson-in-law of the Supreme Emperor. At that time, it was definitely not possible for the young couple to live in their Cao Guogong Mansion, and they had to build a separate courtyard. Moreover, all kinds of utensils and utensils in the home, as well as the mansion
The scale of establishment must be considered in the long term.
"Even if I don't say it, I guess I have a purpose these days!" Hu Guan smiled, cupped his hands and said, "I'd like to congratulate you first."
~
Hu Guan walked away, and Li Jinglong stood there in deep thought, silently calculating the time for his son's wedding.
"It's too late to build a temporary mansion, but there is no shortage of good houses in the capital. Betrothal gifts and other things must be carefully prepared, and no one can find fault!"
"The properties in the capital are those with high prospects and high incomes. We will prepare more properties for our sons. There is also the Zhuangzi Courtyard outside the city, as well as various gold and silver utensils..."
Thinking about it, Li Jinglong suddenly felt a little pain in his head.
"My family doesn't have much money!" he thought to himself.
He donated more than one million to the Yunnan war, which was all cash. His son was getting married soon, and he would have to spend a lot of money by then.
"I don't want to lose sight of money, but can I live without money in this life?" Li Jinglong smiled bitterly in his heart.
Then, he looked around and said loudly, "Xiao Wai, quickly count the number of people, load them into the car and send them away!"
Li Jinglong's personal soldier Li Xiaowai, dressed in the uniform of a school captain, led a group of soldiers, holding weapons and nodding at Wu Nu's head.
Perhaps knowing that they were about to be separated, the slaves became a little restless, holding each other's hands and crying and crying, unable to leave.
Li Xiaowai was not polite, he whipped the scabbard fiercely, and there was a sudden scream.
"What the hell! It's been your destiny to come to Ming Dynasty for several lifetimes." Li Xiaowai scolded, "Only in the future, you can really look like a human being!" As he said this, he suddenly grabbed a Wu Nu's arm and spat out. I wiped the saliva with my sleeve.
"What are you doing?" Li Jinglong said angrily from a distance.
"Master, it's really dark!" Li Xiaowai raised his head and said with a simple smile, "It's not from Mi Tai!"
