Chapter 171: I'm Nima......
The queen had a good time playing cards today, and seemed to have a good temper, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she rewarded the retainers and slaves around her with a golden vase (weighing one catty) each.
In addition to being given a "golden vase" unique to Goryeo, Li Luo was also given an additional dzi bracelet.
The female officer who accompanied her immediately recorded the type, quantity, and personnel of the reward.
When they return to Goryeo, all the recipients of the rewards in the records can go to the queen's exclusive jade vault and receive the rewards according to the records.
Although Li Luo's golden vase was not available yet, he got the "Merchant Token" he had won, and the dzi bracelet that he had been rewarded with an additional reward.
The female official recorded on the spot: "On September 15, the 17th year of the Yuan Dynasty, a token of Li Luo Xingshang in Renzhou was given for a period of one year. It should be surrendered on this day next year. ”
After the female official recorded it, she also let Li Luo take a look at it and reminded him to take the initiative to return it after a year.
Li Luo saw that this token was the size of a jade pendant, and the material was green jade. The obverse is engraved with Tibetan Mongolian script (Basi eight characters): Dayuan Anping Princess Mother Yi Goryeo.
The reverse side is also engraved in Tibetan Mongolian script: special permission to do business cheaply.
This token of privileged business is actually a means for the queen to turn her power into wealth. She rewarded her cronies with the privilege of doing business, so that the cronies could use this taboo to make a lot of money and seek huge profits.
Then, honor her again. I have to say that this method is very clever.
With this "privilege of doing business", even if Li Luo openly "trafficked" a large number of displaced people to the sea in the Central Plains, it would be unimpeded.
The Yuan Dynasty was a semi-slave and semi-feudal dynasty dominated by Mongolian slave owners and aristocrats, supplemented by bureaucrats and landlords of other ethnic groups.
The brutal and rough mode of rule allowed the power of the great nobles to override the rules and run rampant. Even, often the will of the great aristocracy is the rule, or replaces the rule.
This is the case with the Queen's "Merchant Token".
This thing is very useful to Li Luo, and it is a "chicken feather" used as an arrow.
Isn't the scheming "scheming" queen just to take advantage of her power? This token is the harvest. But, that's not enough.
As for the dzi bracelet, although it was given to him by the queen from her hand, Li Luo didn't care.
The itinerary of the mission team was carefully arranged. When it was close to dusk, it had already traveled a hundred miles, and it just arrived at the first stop along the way: Jinchuan City.
The county guard of Jinchuan County had already led his subordinate officials and others to greet Wang Jia outside the city.
The delegation entered the city of Gimcheon, and the royal couple of Goryeo naturally lived in the palace. Officials above the third rank lived in the county guard's mansion, while Li Luo and others lived in the guest hall.
Today is September 15, the night of the full moon. Li Luo and Cui Xiuning rarely enjoyed the moon together.
"I only found out today that the ancient moon is really beautiful. No wonder so many poets can look at the moon and write poems. Cui Xiuning looked at the night sky with an indescribable blur in her eyes.
Li Luo knew that she was thinking of her family again, and he held her hand, half teasingly: "It's better to stop the moon." The water, the air, the food, the whole heaven and earth are all good. ”
Cui Xiuning squinted his eyes and squinted at Li Luo, "It's just that people are not good." ”
Li Luo suddenly pulled her hard, pulled her into his arms, hugged her firmly, and pressed his forehead against her forehead, "Why are people bad?" Didn't fulfill your husband's obligations, did you? ”
"What nonsense are you talking about? Ouch... I'll go! You've got horns on your head! Cui Xiuning was not to be outdone, and pushed his head against it.
"I'm Nima...... You're a cow! ”
"You're a cow... Oops... Where are your paws going? ”
"None of this?"
"No! I can sue you for molestation, and add a ...... for assaulting the police."
"Okay, okay, I'm Megumi Yanagishita now, let's sit back and don't mess around. Come, I'll put my hands on the spot, and now I'm down to business. ”
"Let me go, get down to business."
"Hold on to you and you can't say? For the sake of the revolution, you sacrifice. ”
"Say-right-matter!"
"Okay."
While discussing important matters, the two sprinkled dog food on the moon, half serious, half flirting, and did not go back to the room to rest together until late at night.
…………
Early the next morning, the mission set off again and continued north along the official road.
On this day, Li Luo and several princess retainers played Pai Gow for most of the day.
Although Li Luo can gamble, he is actually not good at gambling, and he is not hobby. Therefore, when the gambling queen became proficient in pai gow, his advantage as a "teacher" was gradually lost.
By the afternoon, Li Luo had already lost eighteen gems. The face is a little green when you lose.
The only gain is that I got acquainted with the queen and the people around her, and I was mixed into the "queen's circle".
"O princess, Wechen is like a poor shepherd who has lost all his lambs, and there is no good thing to bet on him." Li Luo said to the queen with a wry smile.
I'm Nima...... When I'm Kaizi?
He has a lot of gems, but he didn't carry many of them this time, and he still needs to use them when he arrives in the Central Plains, how can he lose them in vain?
The queen laughed, and Kaisen died. Because, she couldn't win the gold and gems today, and all the rewards of yesterday were recovered.
Of course, her wealth is too much to spend, but who would be afraid of having too much money?
"If you don't have any gems, don't play, get out of here, and get another instant dragon...... Giggles! The queen laughed.
Li Luo said in his heart, princess, you are smiling like a little hen!
Li Luo was "driven" out of the car and said to Zhang Xianlong: "Zhang Zhige, the princess asked you to play for me!" ”
Zhang Xianlong laughed quietly: "Brother Li, it's good to lose habits." ”
According to Cui Xiuning's intelligence, this color-eyed person does not learn and has no skills, and completely relies on telling stories to win the princess's favor and become a third-grade master.
Judging by his appearance, he should be from West Asia.
When Zhang Yilong entered the queen's car, Li Luo breathed a sigh of relief.
His mother's can't gamble with them anymore, otherwise he will lose all his things before he arrives in Dadu.
Li Luo took the opportunity to return to Cui Xiuning's carriage, and as soon as his expression fell in Cui Xiuning's eyes, Cui Xiuning knew that he had lost a lot.
"How much did you lose?"
"Eighteen sapphires." Li Luo was a little embarrassed.
What the? Cui Xiuning's face suddenly turned cloudy because of property losses.
These sapphikmones are carefully selected, the size of eggs, and belong to the very few with the best quality. According to the current price, these eighteen sapphires were worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, but they were lost by Li Luo in one afternoon.
Cui Xiuning's distressed one.
No woman would be happy to know that a man would lose money.
"So, our best sapphire was lost half by you." Cui Xiuning said dryly.
Li Luo smiled: "Don't forget, I also won a token yesterday, a ranch with three hundred horses, and a manor with three thousand acres." ”
When Cui Xiuning heard this, her face looked good again.
"The gambling ends here. I don't think your queen will play Pai Gow all the time. A change of strategy is needed. Cui Xiuning said.
Li Luo nodded, "What do you think is the best strategy to change now?" ”
Cui Xiuning thought for a while, "She is very interested in Tibetan history, don't you also know this?" Let's just be a Tibetan history teacher for a few days. ”
Li Luo smiled, "Okay, if it works again, our plan will be halfway." ”
Cui Xiuning hugged her arms, obviously wearing a long Korean dress, but her posture was like a modern white-collar worker, "Don't rush, take your time." This woman lacks qualitative characterization and needs to be repeatedly tamped in order to guide her"
Li Luo said: "If we can get her, we can save at least two years!" ”
