Li An did not hide it, he entered the Hulu Valley in Luzhou to recruit soldiers and horses, and strictly trained these soldiers and horses, and then suppressed bandits, mined gold mines, and killed the process of killing the land at an extremely appropriate time, and told Yan Zhenqing 1510.

Of course, the little thing with Ah Yin and the barbarian, as well as the matter of going to the East Girl Country to visit Zhao Yufu and Tang Er on the way back, was naturally concealed, although in the era of the Tang Dynasty, there was nothing to say these things, but Yan Zhenqing was Yan Ruyu's uncle after all, and he would definitely not be happy to hear it.

There are too many things happening in the land, and there are some less important details, so Li Ang will not talk about it, otherwise, he will not be able to finish talking about it for three days and three nights.

After listening to Li An's detailed explanation, Yan Zhenqing's face was full of surprise, he didn't expect that Li An could handle the crisis of planing with such ease, first lurking in Hulu Valley to accumulate strength, sitting and watching the performance of Haoqiang and Nanzhao, and then, at the best time, suddenly made a move, seized Nanning Prefecture and Queensland, forcing the Nanzhao army that thought he was in control of everything in a dilemma, and risked attacking the Tang army.

What made Yan Zhenqing even more unexpected was that thousands of Tang soldiers and horses actually beat the Nanzhao soldiers and horses without the power to fight back as soon as they made a move, and the Tang army showed mercy to his subordinates, otherwise, they were fully capable of annihilating the elite army of Nanzhao and causing heavy losses to the Nanzhao Kingdom.

"Obviously you have enough strength and take advantage of it, but you didn't completely annihilate the soldiers and horses of Nanzhao, and saved face for Nanzhao, yes, okay, in this matter, you handled it very well, if you really annihilated all the provocative Nanzhao soldiers and horses at that time, my Datang and Nanzhao will really tear their faces, and when the time comes, my Datang will have to have one more front."

Yan Zhenqing appreciates Li An's sanity very much, although he is only a supervising imperial history of the eighth grade, but he still has a very clear understanding of the current situation in the Tang Dynasty, he understands the importance of the Nanzhao Kingdom to the Tang Dynasty, not only to limit the ambition of the Nanzhao, but also to make every effort to win over the Nanzhao, so that the Nanzhao obeys the arrangement of the Tang Dynasty and fights against Tubo with the Tang Dynasty.

This is like the rice country of later generations, on the one hand, suppressing the Japanese state, and at the same time supporting the power of the Japanese state, in order to blockade and encircle the Chinese empire together with the Japanese state, so that the Japanese state can act as the vanguard against China, so as to reduce the huge pressure it is facing.

"Uncle is too worried, Nanzhao is an extremely important country for my Datang, of course my nephew will not tear his face with them, and Nanzhao also needs to rely on Datang, so Nanzhao will be knowledgeable and will know what he should get and what he shouldn't get."

Ang Lee firmly believes in the truth that 'if you don't have the strength to put your opponent to death at any time, then tolerance is weakness.' Now, Datang is fully capable of destroying Nanzhao, so knowing that Nanzhao is offending the Tang army, he can forgive Nanzhao and reward Nanzhao with a lot of money, this is strength, and the reward without strength can only be regarded as a year's coins by the other party.

"It's okay, you just came back, rest for a few more days, and in a few days your uncle will take you to see His Royal Highness the Prince."

Yan Zhenqing has talked so much with Ang Lee, to be honest, he is already very tired, and he believes that Ang Lee must be very tired all the way.

"Uncle rested earlier, nephew retired."

Li An saluted respectfully, left Yan Zhenqing's mansion, and returned to Dayefang's residence.

Since Kunxiong, Feiyu and other brothers were all helping to clean up his courtyard, the house in Sanjin and the last compound were all cleaned up, and a lot of daily necessities were added, such as food, drink, and use.

When Li An returned home, the rewards of the imperial court had already arrived, and in addition to gold, silk and grain, there were ten teenage girls, and they were all very good-looking.

"Big brother, all the rewards have been moved to the secret room, only these ten beauties, we don't know what to do, please deal with it yourself!"

Li Kunxiong's face was excited, their rewards had already arrived, but in order to save trouble, they wrote all the addresses in Li An's mansion, and all the rewards were naturally sent to Li An's mansion and placed in a separate location in the secret room of Li An's mansion.

Li An carefully looked at these ten beauties, and felt that only three of them were quite beautiful, and the rest could only be regarded as average, and there were even three burly female men, this was the first time that Li An felt that the rewards of the court were sometimes unreliable, and they were obviously talking about beauties when they were rewarded, but in the end they used ugly girls to make up the numbers, which was like selling fruits in later generations, always hiding a few bad ones among the fruits, in short, Li An felt that the court's reward had shrunk.

"A few of you, one by two, hold the warm bed at night!"

Li An looked at Kunxiong and the others who were holding back a smile, and said with a serious face.

"Big brother, there are five of us, one or two, won't there be no one to warm the bed at night, big brother?"

"It's fine, I don't want it."

"I don't want it either."

"A gentleman doesn't take away the beauty of others, this is a reward from His Majesty to the general, and the general should keep it for himself!"

Li An's words just now, of course, are all jokes, the beauties that the emperor gave him, even if they look uneven, they must be kept as treasures, how can they be sent in casually? Besides, his mansion is so big, he really needs someone to fill it up.

It's just that Ang Lee always has an inexplicable worry, as if there is Li Longji's eyeliner among these people.

"What did you guys do before, and what do you do?"

Since these little ladies will be the people of his mansion in the future, Li An naturally wants to know about their past, and even more so to know what they will do, so that they can arrange their work.

"Ah Lang, the slave can do laundry and cooking, and also do some sewing and mending."

"Ah Lang, that's all there is to the slave maid."

"Ah Lang, slaves and maids can chop wood and carry water."

"Ah Lang, slaves and maids practice singing and dancing in the palace, and they can do some simple singing and dancing."

"Ah Lang, the slave maid is a ...... who washes clothes in the palace"

Ten people, doing everything, washing and cooking, chopping wood and carrying water, singing and dancing, all of them are all together, it seems that Li Longji is very thoughtful, and he has thought of everything he needs.

However, this also surprised Ang Lee, did Li Longji do the same when he rewarded others before? Fill in all the talents needed in the house? In this way, with Ang Lee's current family population, there is no need to hire people at all.

And once these people are all Li Longji's eyes, then Li Ang is being monitored in all aspects at home, so what privacy is there to speak of.

However, this is not a bad thing for Li An, Li An has no intention of plotting to overthrow Li Longji, let alone forming a party with others to do things that endanger the Tang Dynasty, so there is no need to worry about Li Longji's surveillance at all, which is called not doing bad things, and not being afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night.

Although these ten women will have everything, and the number of people is enough to meet Li An's current needs, but after all, they are all women, Li An's mansion with a large courtyard is absolutely impossible without a male servant, besides, how can Li An bear to let a woman chop wood and carry water?

Li An has already calculated, after hiring a male servant, let the male servant live in the front yard of the first entrance, these female servants naturally live in the middle courtyard at the back, the backyard is where Li An lives, and the large courtyard at the back is used to build a martial arts training ground and grow vegetables.

However, planting vegetables definitely needs to be taken care of by servants, and starting from the front yard and the middle yard, you must pass through the backyard to enter the large courtyard at the back, which is bound to disturb the cleanliness of the master. It can also avoid smelly feces and urine polluting the backyard.

At the same time, Li An can also enter the backyard directly through the corridor, so as not to interfere with the servant's work, or not want the servant to know his whereabouts too well.

Of course, in addition to building a road, there are many settings in the mansion that need to be modernized, after all, Li An comes from later generations, and he is really not used to many of the furniture in the Tang Dynasty, and many things in this era are indeed very inconvenient, and the health problems are also more serious.

Subsequently, Li An arranged for ten women to live in the middle courtyard, and told them that the kitchen was in the front yard, and when cooking, they went to the kitchen in the front yard to cook, and then let the ten people wander around the mansion casually to familiarize themselves with the environment.

"Kunxiong, Feiyu, the mansion can't be without a manservant, let's go to the West Market to have a look!"

Li An took Kunxiong and Feiyu straight to the West Market of Chang'an City.

The distance from Daye Fang to the West Market is still not close, but Li An and the three of them all rode to the West Market, and it didn't take long to arrive at the West Market, and went straight to the mule and horse walk.

In the era of the Tang Dynasty, there were millions of people in Chang'an City, and the big market had the East Market and the West Market, the East Market was close to the place where the elite lived, and all the goods sold were valuables, and like servants and livestock, they obviously did not belong to the valuables, and were naturally in the West Market.

According to different types of goods, the east and west markets are divided into many rows, that is, the merchants who sell the same kind of goods are all gathered on one street, so that it is convenient for customers to choose, there are meat shops selling meat, liquor shops selling wine, rice shops selling rice, firewood shops selling firewood, and of course mules and horses selling mules and horses.

However, the mule and horse shop not only sells large animals such as mules and horses, but also sells slaves, that is to say, in the eyes of people in this era, slaves do not have the slightest human rights, and the so-called slaves are the same labor as animals, and they can be bought and sold at will like mules and horses.

Although, as a later generation, I am a little uncomfortable with this cruel fact, but since I have come to the Tang Dynasty, I must adapt to this era, if Li An does not buy one or two of these slaves, these slaves are likely to be sold to the home of a fierce master, or even abused to death.

There is no harm if there is no trade, but if only Li An refuses to buy slaves, it will not play any role at all, this status quo is Li An can not change no matter what, just like in later generations, the Wa Kingdom is against China everywhere, which seriously hurts the hearts of the Chinese people, but this still can't stop a large number of Chinese people from going to the Wa Kingdom to play, and go on a shopping spree, saving the Wa State whose economy is already dying.

Of course, this does not mean that the Chinese people are not patriotic, but patriotism in their hearts does not stop their enthusiasm for buying Japanese products, just as readers in later generations support the genuine version, but it does not prevent them from watching them for free.

This is the state of the world, which no one can change, and anyone who tries to change it will suffer a cruel defeat.

Sure enough, as soon as Ang Lee and the others entered the mule and horse shop, they saw a large number of livestock and slaves used for sale, and many merchants even put slaves and mules and horses together to show that slaves and mules and horses had the same status.

Ang Lee found that in the mule and horse trade, the number of slaves was still very considerable, and there were men and women, all nationalities and all skin colors, which made people a little dazzled.

"Big brother, what kind of person is the slave over there, how can it be blackened like this, it's weird and scary."

"It should be Kunlunu! However, it is much darker than the Kunlun Nu we see on the street. ”

Li An naturally recognized at a glance that this was a black African, but, according to the standards of the Tang Dynasty, this is also a Kunlun slave, most of the Kunlun slaves are people from Indonesia and Malaysia in later generations, of course, only a small number are black people from Africa, and based on the principle of scarcity as precious, the price of these standard black Kunlun slaves is naturally much more expensive than that of Indonesians who are not too black.

Ang Lee knew that blacks were very capable of enduring hardship, and the black slaves of later generations were sold to the American continent by white colonists to work as coolies because they were particularly able to endure hardships, so Ang Lee was very optimistic about these black slaves, and these black slaves looked very strong and were enough to be bodyguards.

The black slave trader is a high-nosed Arab, that is, the big cannibal, the big food is very close to Africa, so it is naturally easy to come into contact with African blacks, and they are not far away to sell to the capital of the Tang Dynasty to make huge profits.

"What is the price of these Kunlun slaves?"

Li An walked over lightly and asked for the price.

"Ten collars of gold, a Kunlun slave."

Hu Shang saluted Li An very respectfully, on the ground of the Tang Dynasty, the Hu people would never dare to be wild to the people of the Tang Dynasty, and the attitude was as respectful as that of the subordinates, for fear of making the people of the Tang Dynasty unhappy and causing trouble for themselves, and Li An was a person with status at first glance, so he could not be offended.

"Ten pieces of gold, why is it so expensive?"

Li Kunxiong roared fiercely, frightened Hu Shang a few steps back, lowered his head and explained to the end: "Guest officer, these Kunlun slaves are very rare, we sold them from thousands of miles away, and when we bought them, we used five pieces of gold, and it was extremely difficult to transport them all the way, and a few died on the road, and ten collars are really not expensive, they are very cheap." ”

Merchants generally do not have the truth in their mouths, and these black slaves are estimated to have been captured, and it is impossible to buy at least five pieces of gold. (To be continued.) )
