He didn't know what kind of medicine Gayan sold from the gourd, but such a request was not an embarrassing thing. Anyway, his team was already overstretched, so it wouldn't be a big deal to recruit one more person.
"Okay, this guy looks very capable, so I'll take him in."
Ruosuluo stepped forward, knelt down and crossed his hands, then stood behind Li Siye.
Li Siye thought to himself, the troops have arranged for you, the house has been arranged for you, and the son has also been arranged for you, so you shouldn't make any more demands.
Gayan's face did not turn red, and his heart did not beat. He continued to cross his chest with one hand and said, "Li Shijun, I have one more..."
"What else do you want?"
General Jinwuwei stroked his beard and smiled, which made Li Siye suddenly alert.
"I have a daughter named Adalan. She is now eighteen years old. We all know her as the highest mountain..."
"Stop it, stop it!" Li Siye immediately waved his hand to stop him from continuing: "Don't make this request again. I'm sorry I can't agree to it."
Gayan never asked in confusion: "I haven't mentioned what the request is yet!"
"Even if you bring it up, I can't agree. There's no need to discuss this matter."
Ruoshuluo, who was standing behind Li Siye, glanced at the guard in surprise, with a bit of dissatisfaction in his expression. After thinking for a while, he actually felt a bit of admiration.
Gayancong also sighed with regret, stood up, crossed his arms and saluted Li Siye to say goodbye: "In that case, Commander Li, I will not bother you, general."
"I'll give it to you."
Li Siye sent Gayan to the outside of Shouchou City, and pointed to the green hillside pasture to mark a piece of land for him: "From here to here, everything will be allocated to your tribe."
Gayancong said gratefully: "In that case, I would like to thank Ambassador Li."
The leader of Shini Kingdom and his party stepped back and turned around to salute. Li Siye smiled and waved to them. After the group had gone away, he wrinkled his nose angrily and said: "You bad old man, you still want to arrange a marriage, and you want to be my father-in-law."
?”
He turned around, only to find Ruosuluo standing behind him, his face blushing and holding back his annoyance, and finally couldn't help but said angrily: "My sister Adalan is the most dazzling pearl on the grassland of Penchi River. She
It is also the purest snow lotus in the Karakoram Mountains. Many men from the Sanskrit tribe hope to marry him in their sleep. Li Shijun, you think too highly of yourself. My sister is not worthy of you. What kind of woman can
Worthy of you?"
Li Siye quickly explained to this newly recruited subordinate: "If you lose Luo, you may have misunderstood. We Han people don't just look at appearance when marrying a wife, but also look at temperament and whether they are compatible or not."
Ruosuluo said with a stiff face: "Your Excellency, Shouchuushi, there is no need to explain. If Aranda was a Han, you would not refuse."
Li Siye's expression was stagnant, thinking to himself, am I the kind of person who cares about blood? Thinking about those contemporaries in later generations who would marry Japanese boyfriends and Russian beauties at every turn, ethnic and territorial boundaries are really not a problem.
However, why should he explain to this little boy from the Shiny tribe who has no hair at all?
Chieftain Jialuocong was marching on his way back to the tribe. His eldest son Zhashukian followed him on horseback with a straight face. Jialuocong turned around, looked at his son and smiled and said: "Why do you look at your father like this? Could it be that you are
You're blaming me."
Zha Wigan quickly crossed his arms and lowered his head and said: "How dare your son blame the king? He is just angry that Li Siye didn't know how to praise him. After all, father, you were once the king of the Jinwu Kingdom, and you were also a third-rank Jinwuwei general personally named by the emperor.
Why do you need to embarrass yourself in front of a little guard? Is he still refusing to marry his sister Aranda because he is afraid that our family will pollute his noble Han blood? "
Jia Luocong raised his curly beard and smiled generously: "It's true that my father is the leader of the country. Although there is no need to belittle oneself, he is not arrogant. Compared with the Tang Dynasty, the tribe of five or six thousand people is far away.
It’s not as good as the population of a lower county, let alone a state or county. The nine Zhaowu Kingdoms in the north have a population greater than our tribe, so don’t they also submit to the Tang Dynasty?”
Jia Luocong rode on the horse and continued to talk: "Your father and I have lived in this green land for many years. I have seen many business travelers on the Silk Road, rich people who ate up Persia, and many local officers of the Han people."
. Congling is bitter, cold and barren. The fact that Li Shouchuushi was able to bring prosperity to the ancient city of Hepantuo here shows his ability. I always feel that he is not a person who has been living under others for a long time. When he becomes famous in the future,
Now that I have the support of the Shijia Division, I may not be weak to the nine surnames of Zhaowu in the future."
Zha Shiqian was stunned for a while after hearing this, and finally bowed in conviction and said: "My father is well-informed, and Li Siye is indeed good at business, but whether he can make great achievements is still a matter of debate."
"Only those who can manage can make great achievements. Without management, where will the strong strength come from?"
Jialuo whipped his riding whip fiercely and drove the horse towards the end of the green grass.
…
Li Siye went to Qiuci again. The main purpose of his visit was to do three things: to recruit some good-looking dancers for the wine shop, to find a teacher with some knowledge, and to make arrangements for Li Siye's future.
.
When I returned to Congling from Qiuci last time, I met a Sogdian trafficker selling bearded girls in the market. He often trafficked people to Chang'an.
Bar.
It is really hard to find a teacher. Except for poets who traveled to collect stories, scholars in the Tang Dynasty all gathered in Chang'an and Luoyang. There were as many scholars as dogs on the streets of Chang'an City, and Jinshi were everywhere, but here in Qiuci Town, Qixi
It's hard to find a scholar on the street, but if there are one or two, they must be serving in the Anxi Army.
Regarding Yu Gou's appointment, he specifically went to see Gao Xianzhi and gave him a batch of expensive tea cakes and a complete set of tea sets. Then he sent Yu Gou a chief clerk under Cang Cao's army. Don't underestimate this.
Chief Secretary, this is an errand for someone under the eighth rank, and it is nothing like being the chief of the warehouse in Congling.
When he returned to Congling again, he hired two carriages, which carried five Hu girls wearing curtains and pleated skirts. Two of them were girls dancing in Qiuci wine shops. They were very skilled, especially the Hu girls.
Xuanwu danced extremely well, and if Li Siye hadn't promised him a generous reward, these two would definitely have refused to follow him to the barren green ridge.
There were also three young girls from Kang who were abducted to Qiuci by Sogdian merchants. Li Siye rescued these three girls at a very low price through blackmail and threats.
Originally, these three ladies were crying to death and were unwilling to come to Kucha with him. Li Siye did not have the power of a human trafficker, so he had to negotiate with them and let them work in the Congling wine shop for five years. The Congling Shouchuo would give them a monthly wage subsidy.
, after the five-year period expires, you can voluntarily leave and return to your hometown.
The girls agreed after careful consideration. Their original fate was to leave their hometown and be sold to Chang'an. They would probably never have the chance to return to Anxi in this life. Choosing to stay in Congling was undoubtedly the best choice at the moment, at least it would be closer to home.
Congling Shouchuo City cannot lack cultural life, Qiuci music, and Kangju dance are indispensable. These five girls are very good at Pipa and dance. With such a girl group, the happiness index of Congling Shouchuojun household is absolutely
Straight up.
In the second half of the journey, the girls forgot about their worries, especially after seeing the majestic snow-capped mountains in the sky. The steep ice peaks pierced the sky and stood among the clouds. The ice and snow on the continuous mountains never melted all year round. Facing the
Such a wonderful scene between heaven and earth made the girls widen their curious eyes and dance happily while standing on the carriage, which made Fujimaki look back again and again.
Fujimu stared blankly for a while, and then turned around after being glared at by the two Kangju girls. He quickly waved his riding crop and caught up with Li Siye, leaned close to him and asked in a low voice: "You invite these five ladies to Congling
, could it be that you want to do Pingkangli's business? How can the ladies guarding military households just give up? Those bachelors are lucky, they will absorb all the money they earn from you.
In the hands of the little lady."
Li Siye was so angry that he raised his riding crop and pointed it at him and refuted: "You are indeed an ancestor of the Japanese. The first thing that comes to mind is the vulgar industry. I invited them to Congling just for the entertainment of silk and bamboo music and dance. Why should I think so?"
Dirty!"
Teng Mu was speechless after being robbed. After Li Siye rode away, he shouted at his back: "Isn't Pingkangli just about singing and dancing with silk strings? Who is thinking too much!"
