Chapter 514: Becoming a Nun
Thinking of this, Li Chengji said meaningfully: "So, you want to borrow some dinars from me?" ”。
The bearded merchant immediately poured himself a cup of coffee, learned the etiquette of the Han people, and raised his glass to Li Chengji: "Son, don't be suspicious!" In the north of the city, he set up a house with two mothers-in-law, three sons and one daughter. If it weren't for the thieves who were also in the middle of the old age who robbed the goods, they would not have been embarrassed so much. ”。
Lee Seung-gil noticed the patches on his cuffs and knew that what he said might be true. I thought about it for a while, and responded: "I look at your appearance, you should be from the west, right?" ”。
The bearded merchant instantly patted his head and said with a smile: "Look at my memory, I forgot to say who I am!" Below is Aleppoan --- Leon Faris. For generations, the family sold some light and soft fabrics such as cotton wool. However, in recent years, the cotton cloth of Khorasan is of high quality and low price, and the output is extremely large. The cotton wool and other things we shipped over are not worth much. The family gave up this livelihood, leaving only Baoda, Isfahan and other places to make a living. I saw that Khorasan was in dire need of men, so I stayed and did some slave trading. ”。
In recent years, the boom in the slave trade has caused many slave owners to make a fortune. Most of the goods consigned by the Li Merchant House were slaves bought from other places. It is not surprising that Leon Faris made his fortune on this.
Seeing that Li Chengji did not speak, Leon Faris continued: "But there are too many merchants engaged in the slave trade, and this year Khorasan annexed Khorezm and took over the hinterland of Kipchak. So I went to Mongolia and did some business there. ”。
From beginning to end, Khorasan's abolitionist decree was no joke. Even though the slave trade was widespread, it was still unacceptable in Khorasan. Moreover, the Khorasan government stipulated that the slave trade could only be directed at the foreign population. At the time of the transaction, it can only be traded overseas.
When slaves entered the territory of Khorasan, the master-slave relationship between slaves and slave owners was automatically abolished. So as soon as the Kipchak steppes were brought under Khorasan rule, the slave trade could not be done.
You know, before that, Kipchak slaves were the most important source of slaves in Khorasan. As a result, the number of people in the Kipchak steppe was greatly reduced, and many small tribes were captured and sold to Khorasan to work.
Mahamat's rapid march in the Kipchak steppe is due to this.
Leon Faris turned his attention to Mongolia because of the situation.
That's a good thing!
The Mongol tribes have always had the habit of plundering the people as slaves. Last year's expedition to the Xia Kingdom plundered a lot of people. And there are quite a few Hermes-Epitek among them. Even if there are many different races such as the party and Tibet, they have been sinicized for a long time.
Bringing in Khorasan is also good to increase the proportion of Han people in the country. It also has great benefits for the promotion of the Chinese language.
Li Chengji was already a little moved, but he was not in a hurry to agree. After drinking the coffee in the cup, he got up and said, "I have to think about this matter for a while, and I will send someone to inform you in a few days." ”。
Although Leon Faris was in a hurry, he also knew that with the relationship between himself and Lee Seung-ji when they met for the first time, he couldn't settle for such a poetic relationship. I had to send it off with a smile and watched Li Chengji go up to the second floor.
The first thing that catches your eye is a row of villages that collect money. Each good-looking boy and girl stood in a row dressed in uniform colors. Seeing Li Chengji and them coming over, someone immediately came over with a smile and asked what Li Chengji needed.
It's impossible for Rose and Hun to stay here right now. Li Chengji went up to the third floor, and there were people here who stopped him and didn't let people enter casually. Yarahei was about to pull out his waist card and drink back the guards who stood in the way. I don't want a burst of laughter like a silver bell, suddenly coming from a distance.
Li Chengji took a closer look and found that it was Rose and Hun Hu. The two talked and laughed, and they seemed to be very good.
At this time, Rose saw Li Chengji first, her smile stiffened, and she immediately trotted over. Although it was strange, when he saw Li Chengji, he also put away his smile, and Baba came.
"Mrs. Li!" When the two guards saw Rose, they immediately saluted. Rose is Lee Seungji's chamberlain, which is a well-known thing. Especially in the business world, Rose has always presided over auctions, and it is the object of many high-level elites.
Although on the surface, Xia Ida is the chief treasurer of Lee's firm. But in fact, Rose, who is in charge of the auction affairs of the trading house, is the real master. All the operational matters of the Li family firm were entrusted to her by Li Chengji.
Shaida is just doing what she is told.
"The concubine is the lord of the country!" , Rose ignored the two guards and said straight to Li Chengji. Hun Su also saluted, with a humble posture.
No matter how stupid the two guards are, they also know that Li Chengji's identity is not ordinary. Immediately, his face changed, and he knelt down and begged Li Chengji to spare his life.
"It doesn't matter! Do your best, and do not ask for sin. Li Chengji said, and took Rose's hand with his own hands.
"There is a room inside for you to rest, and the lord of the kingdom please come with his concubine." , Rose smiled lightly. Li Chengji conquered Gur, Sinde, Hezhong, Bakhana and other places, and rarely stopped in Malu. Rose has been cooking the affairs of the trading house outside the palace, and she doesn't have much time to meet with Li Chengji.
So that the two have been together for two or three years, but they have never had children.
Of course, she is not alone, Zhuqing and Aina, who often accompany Li Chengji, have no movement in their stomachs. This incident made Li Chengji a little suspicious of himself, so he invited a doctor to take a look, saying that Li Chengji may have broken his foundation when he fell and injured himself in the past.
So now, my body hasn't recovered yet. As for the specific symptoms, the doctor didn't see it. This made Li Chengji nervous, whether he had lost the ability to create people. But the doctor also said that judging from the pulse, Li Chengji did not have any problems.
Anyway, Hengzhu is in a hurry at the moment, so Li Chengji has to let go of this mind and concentrate on government affairs. For women, I don't touch it much.
At that moment, the princess saw that Rose was looking forward to Hengbo's appearance, and left with a witty word, and went downstairs without looking back. Li Chengji had doubts in his heart, and asked Rose as he walked, "When did you have a good personal relationship with Hun Hu?" ”。
did not hide it, Rose responded: "Therefore, the princess wanted to become a nun in Chong'en Temple, so she entrusted all the things of the former royal family to the trading house to sell. When I saw that they were all rare things, I consulted with the old princess herself. After saying something, I found that the old princess was also an interesting person. During this period of time, it was freezing cold, and the business house was fine. I often meet with the old princess and sit and drink tea together. ”。
Khorasan is still a country, and Daliao is a suzerain. Now that the suzerainty is gone, it's time for Khorasan to ascend to the national body. It's just a heavy snow in the winter, and everything has to be said after the bitter cold. Therefore, some of the titles of the old Liao have not had time to change yet.
