Chapter 1125: Thirty Like a Wolf
After Pingyang came to Qinzhou, he seemed to be busier than Li Chao. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Recently, she has been busy buying land everywhere, and she is very happy. Every day when I came back, I smiled and talked to Li Chao about which piece of land I had laid down. Li Chao looked at her enthusiasm, and could only smile.
"I'll buy more property for our son." Binh Duong said.
Li Chao said while undressing, "Eleven Lang is already a county prince, are you still worried about him in this life?" Besides, every one of my sons and daughters will have a share in these inheritances, and no less will be for him. ”
Pingyang glanced at Li Chao, "I'm still reluctant to give up Eleven Lang." ”
Li Chao got into bed and put his arm around her shoulders, "Slowly get used to it, if you are really reluctant, then go back to Beijing." ”
"I can't bear you either." Pingyang Road,
When Pingyang left Beijing, he had already sent Shiyi Lang to the Yue Palace. This can be regarded as good at the beginning, Pingyang gave birth to a boy, and then the child will recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and even recognize Cui Yingying as his mother. In doing so, it does not mean that Cui Yingying bullied Pingyang, but that she cared for Shiyi Lang.
recognizes Cui Yingying as her mother, and that eleven lang is the son of the Li family, the fifth son. In this era, the distinction between concubines and concubines is still very large, not to mention the illegitimate children of the outer room, even if the eldest princess is the eldest princess and the uncle is the emperor, but the concubine is the concubine. The average wife will never kindly accept her son as her son-in-law, unless she is a wife and has no children, she can accept her son as her own son-in-law.
Pingyang also understands this, which is also one of the reasons why she went south this time, if she is still in the capital, she will definitely not be able to help but want to see the child.
"Don't worry, Eleven Lang is your child, even if Thirteen Niang helps you take it, it won't change this fact."
Lingnan in August is no better than the Central Plains. The weather in the Central Plains was already very cold at this time, especially in the north, and it was even cold, but Lingnan was still very cool.
Pingyang was wearing a tulle skirt, which was very seductive.
Li Chao pressed her under him, "Let's have a few more!" ”
The student's body pressed against Pingyang, and she hummed softly, already emotional.
Long.
The clouds stop and the rain receives.
Both of them collapsed on the bed, gasping for air.
"You dead man, why are you so fierce lately, the skeleton that tosses people is about to fall apart."
Li Chao wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I think you've been much more powerful lately, and you almost flashed my old waist." ”
Pingyang listened and reached out to pinch Li Chao's waist.
"I heard that Feng Ang wants to send her daughter to you, but you still refuse?"
When Pingyang said this, he was a little jealous.
Li Chao smiled, "Feng Ang wants to send it, but I don't dare to accept it." ”
"The ghost only believes your words, you left Beijing in the first month, came out for more than half a year, and turned so many places, this woman who has been used is only afraid of a lot, right?"
Li Chao is a dignified king, especially young and dignified, and golden, and he is indeed more peachy. Wherever he goes, there are people who want to cling to Li Chao, and Li Chao is not short of money, and he has never liked to collect gold and cashiers, so many people think about the gift of the law. Send all kinds of ancient books and unique books, what bamboo slips of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, bronze and jade with inscriptions in the pre-Qin period, and some people send women directly.
Give a beautiful woman, or even a daughter.
"Absolutely nothing." Li Chao said with a smile, of course, this is also a lie, although Li Chao is not the kind of person who is obsessed with women, but he is alone and his wife and concubine are not around, and of course one or two will be used occasionally. It's just that these are just Li Chao's maids, and they can't even be counted as concubines, let alone the outer room.
This can be regarded as normal behavior at this time, and those nobles, bureaucrats, and businessmen are not surrounded by some maids. Some officials are outside, and it is inconvenient to bring their female dependents, so they bring a young scholar entourage, who is a scholar during the day and becomes a pillow person at night.
These are the norm.
But Li Chao is really difficult to accept the affairs of men, even if he comes from the next generation. He doesn't discriminate, but he can't.
Binh Duong regained his spirits.
Seeing that Li Chao was also fierce, he was about to move, "It's okay for you to collect some maids and maids outside." But those who send their daughters, you have to pay attention. People don't send their daughters to be slaves for you, at least they want to be a concubine, or even an outer room. I don't really care, I'm worried that Choi is annoyed. ”
In the atmosphere of the times, women can accept their husbands taking concubines and taking maids, but they must not accept the outer room. Neither concubines nor maidservants can challenge their wives, but their fame and interests will be greatly damaged by their outer chambers and illegitimate children.
Pingyang herself is also an outer room, and she knows how annoyed Cui Shi is.
Li Chao turned over and got up, picked up his gun and fought again.
Thirty is like a wolf, and forty is like a tiger.
Pingyang's age is the time when he is like a wolf and a tiger, especially when he has just recovered after giving birth, and the desire of women at this time is particularly strong.
Afterwards, Pingyang went to take a bath first, and Li Chao leaned on the head of the bed, pillowing his arm.
Feng Ang was already a little anxious to jump off the wall, and he actually wanted to send his daughter to Li Chao. Feng Ang has thirty sons and even more daughters, which can be regarded as a powerful figure, with a group of wives and concubines in the family.
As the first wealthy leader in Lingnan, the Feng family has more than 10,000 slaves, and it is a real 10,000 people. Feng An's wife is Xian, but he has a lot of concubines, and there are many maidservants who don't even have the title of concubine. Don't look at Feng An's age, he is not old, but he has an amazing number of children.
Feng Ang even has twin daughters who are twenty-eight years old, who are extremely beautiful. Feng Ang is very fond of this daughter, how many people ask for marriage, he didn't choose, and now for the future of the Feng family, he offered to give this pair of baby daughters to Li Chao as concubines.
But how could Li Chao agree.
If the imperial court has a chance, it will definitely clean up the Feng family. At the very least, it is to take away the power of the Feng family, and his wealth can be kept. But the imperial court definitely can't accept Li Chao, the king of Yue, and the former king of Nanyue.
If Li Chao is a concubine of Na Feng An's daughter, Li Feng's two families will marry, one will cross the river and the other will be the head snake, and the two families will unite, and Li Shimin will probably not be able to sleep in Hanjing.
Now Li Chao represents the imperial court, and Li Shimin is very happy to fight with these heroes and slang commanders in Lingnan.
Feng Ang hit a nail in Li Chao's place, and wanted to hit the prince's idea, so he actually wanted to give the twins to Cheng Qian. Cheng Qian is only ten years old, and he doesn't know anything about personnel at this time. Besides, Cheng Qian is not stupid, he already knew the attitude of the imperial court and Li Chao towards the Feng family, so he refused to even meet Feng An's face.
Li Chao smiled, Feng Ang was probably desperate now.
is unwilling to hand over the power territory, and unable to control the situation, the only thing that can be done at the moment is to take risks.
Li Chao's people monitored Feng Xian's two families day and night, and kept a close eye on Gaozhou and other former Feng Xian's territory. Recently, the Feng family has been moving frequently, and the money and grain have been constantly transported out, while the Xian family has moved more intensively, and all the streams are gathering, and they are even constantly contacting other family streams.
However, what surprised Li Chao was that many Xiyuan actually took the initiative to tell the government about the conspiracy of Feng Xian's two families, and some of these Xi'an were even very close to the Xian and Feng families.
People's hearts are turned back, or they are driven by interests.
"What are you thinking?"
Pingyang was washed, and his body was draped with a piece of gauze.
Li Chao saw that under the thin gauze, his figure was delicate and tight, with concave and convex curves, which was extremely attractive, and he couldn't help but feel angry again.
Pingyang directly bypassed his claws, "Go wash quickly, excessive indulgence will hurt your body." ”
Li Chao reluctantly got up and went to wash.
took a cold shower, and finally lowered the fire.
When he returned, Binh Duong had already changed into a cotton dress.
"This white cloth is really good, soft and comfortable. How about you say that the land I bought here is planted with cotton? ”
Li Chao lay down next to her, reached out to touch her clothes, and soon became dishonest and was slapped back by Pingyang, "Planting cotton is good, and the prospect of cotton is great." Woven into cotton cloth is still very high-end, even if it is made of quilts, cotton jackets and cotton shoes, it is also very popular. The climate in Lingnan is actually not the most suitable for growing cotton, because although there is plenty of sunshine here, the temperature difference between day and night is not large. ”
"The northwest is the best place to grow cotton, and the southwest is actually more suitable for growing sugarcane."
Li Chao told Pingyang, but of course Guangxi can also grow cotton, but the yield is not as high as in the northwest.
"My suggestion is to plant rice in paddy fields, sugarcane in dry land, and cotton in mountainous areas.
"Then do as you say." Pingyang said, "But there is a shortage of people, you can help me get some people." ”
"There is a general shortage of people now, and this can only be hired from the slang fangs, or buy slaves sold from the South Seas."
"San Lang, I recently heard that there are a lot of slaves coming over on the other side of the Persian Gulf, and it is said that the Persian Sassanid dynasty is catching slaves from their south, and those slaves are darker than Kunlun slaves?"
"Well, there's such a thing."
Egypt was once occupied by the Eastern Romans, but then by the Persians, and is still under Persian rule. The Persians engaged in the slave trade from Egypt and even further south to the Roman era, and even earlier.
In recent years, with the increasing number of merchant ships from the Tang Dynasty to the Persian Gulf, black slaves have also become an important commodity in the east-west trade. The demand for slaves in the Central Plains led to considerable profits in this trade.
At present, the slaves who are sold to the Central Plains are mainly black slaves from Nanyang, Tianzhu, and Persia.
Li Chao is also short of labor now, and there is no shortage of people in his various territories, estates, mines and workshops in various industries. Li Chao now also relies on the sea slave trade to supplement his laborers.
Especially since he has recently prepared for a big project.
In the middle of Qinzhou and Jiaozhou, there is a huge coal mine, which was also very famous in later generations, that is, Hongji Coal Mine. The mining area is more than 200 miles long and 30 or 40 miles wide, and the proven coal reserves are more than 2 billion tons. In particular, the coal here is high-quality anthracite, and the coal seam is thick, the topsoil is thin, and it can be mined in the open pit, and it is easy to transport it out from the seaside, so it can be said that this coal mine is simply a huge treasure pot.
Li Chao is already preparing to build a port there and develop this mine at the same time, he needs a large number of miners!
