Li Yong of the Special Investigation Bureau took eighteen good hands who were good at fighting, relying on the golden talisman of the previous three-grade monk official, and using the extremely developed post system of the Great Yuan Dynasty, all the way to meet the post and change horses, and went straight down to the south of the Yangtze River at a speed of 400 miles a day.

Li Yong's major event in Jiangnan will be pressed for the time being. only said that Li Luo, early in the morning of the second day, accompanied his "uncle" Li Qian to visit the powerful minister Ahma on behalf of the Goryeo Kingdom.

In today's Great Yuan Dynasty, in terms of power alone, Ahmad has no one to stand out among the courtiers.

"This person was originally the dowry slave of Queen Chabi. Because he will accumulate wealth, he has been trusted by the emperor, and it is ridiculous that he has the power to tilt towards the government and the opposition. ”

Inside the carriage, Li Qi said to his "nephew" Li Luo.

Li Luo smiled secretly in his heart, when it came to his understanding of Ahma, of course he was far better than Li Sign, and he didn't need Li Sign to do his homework for him at all.

"Uncle, I have heard that Ahmad is not only a lover of money, but also an insatiable lover of women. This person not only has more than 50 formal wives, but also more than 400 concubines, almost all of whom are gifts from others. ”

Li Qian couldn't imagine that Li Luo knew so much, and couldn't help but say disdainfully: "There is such a thing? Hmph, these lustful eyes can have so many wives, it is really the work of beasts, not the son of man. ”

Li Luo thought of Ahma's money and said, "I heard that Ahmad has 8,000 slaves. ”

Li Qian smiled and said: "Our Li family in Renzhou has 20,000 field slaves. ”

Li Luo smiled, "Uncle, this is not a good comparison." Although my Li family has more than 20,000 field slaves, they are all cultivated and produced, and to put it bluntly, they are farmers of the Li family. Ahma's 8,000 slaves were different, they were servants. ”

At this time, Li Qian couldn't help but smack his tongue, is the Li family's city big? Big! But there are less than a thousand slaves and maids who serve people. This Ahma is just a courtier, and he can accept 8,000 slaves in the house, which is really powerful.

Li Luo continued: "He also occupied fertile land as a pasture in the Central Plains and raised 9,000 horses. ”

"I didn't expect that his horse alone was more than half of my Goryeo military horses, which was really ......" Li Qian didn't know what to say.

Li Luo looked worried: "Not to mention that he still has gold and silver mountains at home." Although we have brought 50,000 yuan worth of gold and silver treasure today, I am afraid that it will not be of much use. Let him speak for us because of the money, my nephew feels hanging. ”

Li Qian smiled: "You only know one but you don't know the other." The queen said that Ahmad feared the prince of Jinjin the most. The king is the prince's brother-in-law, and Ahmad has taken the money, and if he does not speak for us, how can he have good fruit to eat? Hmph, Goro, if it weren't for the fact that we Koreans were the best at taking advantage of the contradictions between them, where would my eastern country still exist? ”

"When you become an important minister in the future, and when dealing with Mengyuan Tartars, you must remember that you must create cracks between them, take advantage of their arrogance, one send, two holds, three coaxes, four crying, there is nothing that does not work. This is the way for a small country to survive. ”

Li Luo bowed his head, "Uncle Xie taught." I thought, no wonder Goryeo and North Korea are like Xiaoqiang, they originally had these four-character mantras.

Soon the carriage finally came to a huge mansion. This house is not an oriental building with heavy eaves and upturns, but a building in the shape of a certain temple, and a flag embroidered with a crescent moon is inserted at the door.

Such a so-and-so style building is particularly abrupt and eye-catching in the surrounding oriental buildings.

Even the samurai guarding the gate had curly beards and high noses.

"In the lower Goryeo envoy, the expedition to the eastern province of Zuo Cheng Li signed, asking to see the prime minister. This is the name and gift list under the list! Li Qian came to the door of Ahma's mansion and said to the steward.

Almost at the same time, his attendant took out a silver bottle and stuffed it into the hand of the steward.

The dignified deputy prime minister of Goryeo, the provincial Zuo Cheng, and the head of the Li Valve family, that is a great man in Goryeo. But at this time, in the face of a small doorman, he was smiling and humble.

Li Luo hurriedly translated it in Mongolian. Although the steward was a Semu person, he could still understand Mongolian as a "Chinese language".

After hearing Li Luo's translation, the butler threw the sentence "wait" with his nostrils facing the sky, and went in with the name and gift list.

To Li Luo's surprise, it didn't take long for the guest manager to come out again, "Your Excellency the Prime Minister, please." ”

Your Excellency the Prime Minister? Li Luo was speechless when he listened. How hostile Ahma is to Han culture! Even the official position refused to use the name of oriental elements.

The group went in with gifts, walked all the way through the hall, walked for a while, met many slaves and maids, and finally came to a domed hall with large wax torches lit in the daytime.

Above the luxurious hall, there is also a crystal lampstand with lamp oil lit inside.

Plus domed windows, floor-to-ceiling curtains, Persian carpets...... At first glance, Li Luo actually felt a little back to modern times.

The hall was large, with a long table in the middle, and at the other end of the table sat a guy with a tall nose and deep eyes.

There was a large group of slaves and maids around him, some pouring wine, some peeling fruit, some massaging, some dancing......

In short, this is a happy man full of wealth and luxury. You can see his happiness at a glance.

"Ah, my Mr. Zuo Cheng of the Eastern Province, welcome you to my home, you see, I have prepared singing and dancing and wine, please trust your old friend, I will give you enthusiasm." Ahmad stood up and walked over from the long table, his arms outstretched, wanting to hug his guest.

Ahmad is certainly greedy, cunning, and insidious. But there is no doubt that he is not an arrogant and rude man. If he hadn't been able to wear the mask of hypocrisy at all times, he wouldn't have been where he is today.

Li Qian had also been to Dadu before, of course, it was not the first time he had met Ahma, and after getting Li Luo's translation, this Goryeo minister, who adhered to Confucian etiquette, had to reluctantly hug the "Your Excellency the Prime Minister".

"This is a wine from Persia, which I made myself nine years ago, and I will only open it when you have a distinguished guest." Ahmad said in Mongolian, like a song.

Li Luo was surprised, isn't Mo Moujiao not allowed to drink? Isn't Ahmad a follower of Mo? How could he drink?

But soon he understood. A person who can climb to the Pingzhang political affairs of Zhongshu Province and become the prime minister is definitely not a person who can be bound by any doctrine.

"You see, they're all my wives." Ahma pointed to a group of dancing Central Plains women, "However, I didn't hesitate to prevent them from coming out to welcome you. ”

What the? Ahmad actually ...... Is it so polite?

This obviously subverts Li Luo's historical cognition. He translated Ahma's words to Li Sign, who was not surprised although he pretended to be flattered.

"Lord Xiangguo is so loving, I dare not be ashamed, I am really tormented! Lord Xiangguo, this is really embarrassing for Li Sign! Li Qi said with a smile.

He was cunning and a veteran politician, and he quickly guessed that Ahmad was also asking for him.

Ahmad is so powerful, what else is worth contributing to himself? Of course, it's because of the real golden prince.

Ahma must have been looking for an opportunity to show kindness to the prince, but the prince didn't pay any attention to it. Then, it would be a good idea to ease relations with the crown prince through the queen of Goryeo.

Guessing this, Li Sign's smile is even more natural.

Li Luo quickly guessed it. Immediately afterwards, he was pondering how to use Ahma to contribute to the "Dadu Plan".
