Chapter 166: Return to Chang'an again

Li Kuan did not stay in Dengzhou Mansion for long, and successively received several groups of people urging him to return to Chang'an.

Needless to say, Cheng Chumo saw that his second brother was soon married, and if his eldest son didn't go back, Cheng Yanjin might be killed.

Fang Yiai is not much better, Mrs. Fang is probably holding a whip and preparing to whip him.

That is, Wei Chihuan, the third child in the family, is slightly better.

Now the news that his group has returned from going to sea has not yet been transmitted back to Chang'an, and the people who came to urge him were all people who were originally guarding Dengzhou.

If we wait any longer, I guess it will be ......

There was no way, Li Kuan made a little arrangement, and returned to Beijing with a large team.

"Lord Wang, now arrange to prepare the goods, and when we come back from Chang'an, we can go to sea."

The group has not yet arrived in Chang'an City, and Fang Yiai is thinking about going to sea again; According to his thoughts, he should stay in Nambatsu and come back in such a hurry to do something.

"If you go to sea, you will definitely have to go to sea, but who will go will be talked about later."

Li Kuan is really not sure if Fang Yiai will have a chance to leave after returning to Chang'an this time.

If he doesn't get the support of his family, it's not good for him to go against the will of his parents every time and let them go to sea.

In fact, according to Li Kuan's idea, as long as there is Tuesday Fu, and then arrange for Wang Fugui to follow, one is responsible for business and the other is responsible for navigation, which is basically enough.

You don't have to love these noble children to follow.

"Don't, lord. Listening to what you mean, it seems that you don't agree with me to go to sea with the fleet. ”

Fang Yiai is not really stupid, and when he saw Li Kuan's attitude, he was a little anxious.

"Bereavement, as long as Fang Xiang and Mrs. Fang agree to your going to sea, this king will not object. So...... What should I do when I return to Chang'an...... You get the idea, right? ”

Love: ......

I don't understand!

I know I still need to sneak to Dengzhou?

……

"Your Majesty, good news, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is back."

In the imperial study, Li Zhong had the courage to interrupt Li Shimin, who was reading.

If it weren't for the good news from Dengzhou this time, he wouldn't dare to disturb Li Shimin's reading with a few courages.

"What? Is Kuan'er finally back? ”

Li Shimin suddenly heard the news and stopped reading the book.

"When will you get to Chang'an?"

Li Zhong, who was originally in a very relaxed mood, had another correction in his heart, I can't answer this question.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has already arranged manpower, and His Royal Highness the King of Chu will urge him to return to Beijing next time he returns to Dengzhou, but when will His Royal Highness the King of Chu come back......"

"Hmph...... I see. Send someone to Dengzhou again immediately, spread my message, and let that guy return to Beijing immediately! ”

"Wechen obeys!" After Li Zhong finished speaking, he stopped talking.

"Or is there something?"

"Your Majesty, there is a piece of news that has not yet been verified. The news from Dengzhou from the Baiqi Division said that His Royal Highness the King of Chu brought back a huge amount of gold and silver from his trip to sea this time, and also took the initiative to set up a city division and paid a tax of about 130,000 taels of silver. ”

"What? City Division? Collect your own taxes? ”

Li Shimin didn't react a little.

"Yes, and it is strictly collected according to the standard of 10 taxes. Your Majesty, this fleet to sea belongs to the fishing industry in the East China Sea, and according to the previous arrangement of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the inner treasury in the palace also occupies a third of the fishing industry in the East China Sea......"

"According to what you say, didn't you go to sea and bring back more than a million taels of silver?"

Li Shimin feels that the credibility of this figure is too low.

"Are you Hundred Riders not good at arithmetic? The taxes of all state capitals in Datang last year were added up, which was converted into silver, which is about 11 million taels", do you think that more than 1 million taels of silver is more than 1 million copper coins? ”

was questioned by Li Shimin, and Li Zhong didn't know how to answer.

"Forget it, after Kuan'er returns to Beijing, he will be allowed to enter the palace immediately."

……

Sukoku Mansion.

"General, there has just been news from Dengzhou, and Da Lang has returned safely."

After receiving the news, the housekeeper of Cheng Mansion hurriedly came to Cheng Yanjin to report.

"This brute, who let him go to sea without permission, look at it and I won't break his legs!"

Cheng Biting Jin was scolding on his mouth, but he was relieved in his heart.

"Grandpa......"

Cheng Jingwen stomped her foot and gently shook Cheng Biting Jin's arm.

"Okay, okay, stop scolding!"

Don't look at Cheng Yanjin's beating or scolding of his sons at every turn, but he is very fond of his only daughter, which makes Cheng Chumo often wonder if he is his own child.

Cheng Jingwen asked timidly: "That...... Did His Royal Highness the King of Chu also come back together? ”

"Huh?" Cheng Biting Jin Fox looked at her little padded jacket suspiciously, when did she care about King Chu?

"Little lady, there is no special mention in the letter, but presumably Da Lang came back with His Royal Highness the King of Chu."

"Oh. Didn't you say that His Royal Highness the King of Chu also returned safely? ”

didn't hear the news about Li Kuan, Cheng Jingwen was a little lost.

"Jingwen, when did you know His Royal Highness the King of Chu?"

Cheng Yanjin wanted to pretend that nothing had happened, but he couldn't help it, so he still asked.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry, I just remembered something, I still have a woolen sweater that hasn't been knitted, I'll go back to the room first."

Cheng Jingwen pretended not to hear, and made an excuse and hurriedly left.

Cheng Yanjin looked at the figure of his daughter leaving, and fell into deep thought.

……

After more than a year, when Li Kuan came to Chang'an City again, he found that the flow of people in and out was even denser.

There have been no major wars in the past three years, Datang's national strength has recovered rapidly, and the living standards of the people are also improving.

"Lord Wang, Your Majesty said, let you enter the palace immediately after returning to Chang'an."

The eunuch who came to give the order was afraid that Li Kuan would make a moth, so he hurriedly reminded him again.

"This king knows, didn't you say this a few days ago?"

I don't know how many passers-by Li Zhong arranged to inquire about Li Kuan's itinerary, anyway, three days ago, Li Kuan had an extra eunuch by his side who urged him to speed up.

"Lord Wang, let Xue Li escort this batch of silver money from the inner treasury to the Suzaku Gate, and I will bring the other people and things back to the palace first?"

Wang Xuance knew that the matter of the face king could not be delayed, and he did not want to make extraneous branches.

"Okay, Brother Cheng, Brother Wei Chi, Brother Fang, then let's say goodbye, come to the Chu Palace, come to me for something."

Li Kuan didn't care about the guys who didn't know whether they didn't think much or didn't dare to go home, and they entered Anhua Gate with a clip on the horse's belly.

At this time, there is no need to care about whether the horse running will disturb the people, anyway, he has to show that he is very anxious to see Li Shimin.

The best thing is to run for a while after entering the Taiji Palace, and when Li Shimin sees that he is panting and sweating, maybe he won't be so angry.

Li Kuan had to think about how to face Li Shimin's anger for a while.
