Chapter 6: An Wangwei's luxury

"In order to maintain this high-intensity workout, our Wang Wei has to eat four meals a day, one meal at a time, one meal at a time, and everyone has to eat at least one kilogram of meat every day! When you're not cultivating, eat three meals a day! ”

This An Wangwei said proudly, looking at the world, who can be treated so favorably like him.

Hearing this news, the emperor and the ministers were all taken aback.

"What a price these guards will pay!"

At this moment, a minister suddenly realized something and shouted: "If I remember correctly, His Highness should have 3,000 people, right, is this how 3,000 people are trained?" ”

...

An Wangwei, who had been questioned before, immediately strutted his head: "Yes, my Wang Wei's three thousand soldiers are all here. ”

Li Su hurriedly said: "In order to support these 3,000 people, we have almost exhausted all the resources of Lingnan, everyone knows how barren Lingnan is, and I ask Your Majesty to give us some support." ”

Li Su thought to himself, don't be too arrogant, people who can cry will always have good things for you, but you are a poor person.

With the character of those people in the court, maybe they really feel that they have a lot of money and want to get some benefits from him.

But judging from the looks of the ministers in the court and the Emperor of Qiantianshan, it was obvious that they didn't believe much in Li Su's nonsense.

It's just that for the sake of face, Emperor Qiandi and other high-level officials in the court did not mean to expose Li Su.

Everyone in the DPRK and China is speculating about what is going on in Lingnan, thousands of kilometers away, to be so rich.

At this time, a soldier who reported the news rushed over, he knelt on one knee on the ground, and said in a loud voice: "Return to the king, the demon clan has withdrawn!" ”

Call~~

Emperor Qianjun and other civil and military officials were ecstatic, and the danger in the capital had been lifted.

Everyone understood that this was the credit of Li Su and the Anwang Guards under his command.

Emperor Qian waved his hand, majestic: "King An defeated the nightmare, saved the capital, made great contributions, gave 30,000 taels of silver, and an An Wangwei, and gave another ten taels of silver!" ”

Li Su glared at him angrily, secretly scolding him for being stingy in his heart, but he took An Wangwei to kneel down and thank him.

And An Wangwei thinks that the prince's father is too stingy, An Wang Wang Wei only has twenty taels of silver every month, and after a big war, one hundred taels of silver is their harvest, what a miser.

If Emperor Qian, hearing the words of Li Su, An Wangwei and others, he would definitely be angry to death.

It's no wonder that, as far as he knows, the monthly routine of the Royal Forest Army is three taels of silver, and the average sergeant is also one tael of silver a month.

The most important thing is that the current treasury and inner treasury do not have much silver at all, and the emperor is too poor.

With the retreat of the Charm Target Army, everything was normal around the capital.

As for how to clean up the mess and how to take revenge, it is naturally up to Emperor Qiandi and those ministers to deal with it

That's the old question.

And at this time, a group of people quietly rushed towards Lingnan.

An Wangwei and the guards of the princes were mobilized to the outskirts near the capital camp.

For example, King Zhao and Li Su, in order to ensure their own itinerary, they will let their personal escorts, so they will let their personal escorts enter Beijing.

However, all the princes who are close to the capital will let them bring their own carriages and enter the capital directly, is this needless to say? Lead an army into the imperial capital?

This also created a situation where those vassal kings who entered the capital first only had a few hundred guards.

Protect.

Otherwise, if one person leads a personal guard into Beijing, they may not be able to please him.

Da Qian is not a declining emperor, and he may not be able to defeat the demon clan one-on-one, but if the army is overwhelmed, he can compete with the demon clan.

At this time, it was already noisy in Beijing, and all the forbidden troops had already set up tents in their respective camps.

There are also some of the princes of the vassal kings, who will stay there for more than a month in the future.

Therefore, the soldiers in the capital and the guards of the princes all watched this scene in amazement.

Every day, more than a dozen wagons full of supplies were transported from the capital to An Wangwei's camp.

A pig, a sheep, a large number of chickens and ducks, a large pile of eggs, and a large pile of eggs were transported to the territory of An Wangwei.

As soon as it was time to eat, there were all kinds of meat smells coming from the camp of An Wangwei.

The most enviable thing is that their three meals a day are their three meals a day!

In Beijing, the average sergeant can only eat two meals a day, that is, the generals can eat three meals.

But now, all An Wangwei members have three meals a day! Isn't that very rich? Can he still break it?

The gap between people is too big, they used to have the same status, but now, the guards in Beijing smelled the smell of barbecue from the adjacent camp, looked at the green vegetables on their plates, and the few drops of fat that fell on the plates, and suddenly felt that what they ate was not delicious at all.

These whinings, of course, also reached the ears of those squad leaders, and then to the camp in Beijing, and to the ears of their adults.

In this way, the commanders and princes in Beijing have become the target of everyone, and they are really waiting to be killed and cause trouble.

King An, you let the soldiers eat, don't you just do it secretly, why do you have to be so upright and let everyone know?

Now it's good! This Li Su is simply a monster!

In order to commend the merits of "An Wangwei" in guarding the capital and defeating the "Charm Target", Emperor Qian specially ordered that the officers and soldiers of "An Wangwei" could rotate into the city every day, once at a time, once at a time.

As a result, these days, the civilians in the capital can see Lingnan sergeants in groups of three or five every day, dressed in wide black clothes, wandering around the city.

The merchants in the capital welcomed them very much, first, they saved the capital from fire and water, and second, they were really rich, and An Wangwei was too rich, right?

This man is very generous, buying one by one, without even blinking the money he takes out.

The people in the capital are very strange, it is obviously a barren place, why is An Wangwei so rich?

Did King An discover a mountain of gold in Lingnan?

Wang Erhai is a member of Wang Weizhong, and at this moment he is shopping for something with the two Weizhong men in the most lively West Market in the capital.

The three of them were carrying a lot of things in their hands.

He planned to send this gift to Lingnan and leave it to his relatives and brothers.

Three men are shopping for jewelry for their wife and sister in a jewelry store.

The owner of that shop was a middle-aged man in his forties, named Du Shen, a well-known wealthy merchant in the capital, who had always been famous for his exquisite and vicious eyes.

At this time, he came over again and said, "Lingnan County is mostly mountainous, and most of the people there are poor. “

"Five years ago, I passed through Lingnan, and in those impoverished mountains and forests, I could still see some impoverished natives, why should the generals be so generous? Can you tell me? ”

Relying on the intuition of a businessman, Du Shen faintly felt that something big had happened in Lingnan Mansion.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a businessman.

Wang Erhai looked honest: "It's all the credit of the prince." ”

"Really? Lu Xiaofeng said: "King An? Looking at Wang Erhai's admiration when he talked about Li Su, Du Shen felt as if he knew a big secret.

"More than three years ago, the prince came, led us to open the field, open the field, open the mine, open the workshop, and now, the people of Lingnan Mansion have clothes, and every month, they can have some meat."

"My Wang Erhai was originally just a hunting village, and I couldn't eat well, but I heard that An Wangwei was going to recruit soldiers, so I came to try." Wang Erhai said with a smile on his face.

"After joining Wang Wei, the prince asked the master to teach us to be serious, and the monthly income rose from two taels to twenty taels, such days are simply unimaginable to us." Two other Wang Erhai's colleagues also followed.

"What's going on? Are they telling the truth? Du Shen thought quickly in his heart.

In the eyes of merchants, the place that can afford it is the real paradise.

The official road in Lingnan has just been opened, and there is not much contact with the outside world, if this matter is spread, such a large market will inevitably attract a large number of merchants to come.

The faster you get, the more benefits you get, this is a thought in Du Shen's heart.

In the west of the capital, there is such a scene everywhere.

This also attracted the attention of many people, and they sent people to Lingnan to collect intelligence.

Opportunities are only a matter of a moment, and no one will know that the southwest of the Great Qian Empire is a huge market that has not yet been developed and needs to consume a lot of resources.

In fact, even An Wangwei, who made a big splash and squandered it in the capital, was also what Li Su meant.

Three years have passed, and the Lingnan Prefecture and nearby countries have almost been filled, and all kinds of goods produced in Lingnan are in urgent need of opening up new sales channels.

So Li Su set his sights on the most prosperous capital of the entire Daqian Dynasty.

It has the flow of people and the consumption capacity of the entire country, and it is also the economic and political core of the entire country.

Once the trade route between Lingnan and Jingshi is opened, then the goods from Lingnan will be quickly pushed to the whole country.

Those merchants in the capital are interested in the huge, huge commodity that can be used by them in Lingnan, but Li Su is interested in the incomparable mobility of those merchants in the capital.

These days, Li Su chatted with his biological mother, that is, his own mother, in the palace.

I haven't seen her for three years, Concubine Liu seems to have a thousand words to say to Li Su, and what Li Su did made her very happy.

Li Su sat there quietly, occasionally saying a word or two, which made Concubine Liu giggle.

Since Li Su came to this other world, only Concubine Liu can give him a warm feeling of going home.

Three years later, Li Su was crowned King of An and sent to his own territory, and Concubine Liu privately gave him a sum of 50,000 taels of silver and 4,000 taels of silver, which Concubine Liu took from her own family, that is, Li Su's grandfather Mu's family.

Because of this, Li Su will really treat her as a family member.

For his biological father, Emperor Qian, Li Su has only one sentence: there is a blood relationship, but there is not much affection.

Li Su was by Concubine Liu's side, and he was also called by Emperor Qiandi several times, and asked him about some things, but Li Su said perfunctory.

Emperor Qian is not worried, his army, he has also been sent to Lingnan, when the time comes, everything will fall into place.

As for some other civil and military officials who showed favor to him, Li Su refused as soon as he could, rarely dealing with other people, and only occasionally went back to his grandparents' house.

That is, on the tenth day after the retreat of the demons, a group of more than 1,000 people dressed as An Wangwei appeared in the camp of An Wangwei under the capital.

This is a convoy specially prepared for His Majesty Emperor Qian's New Year's gift, and the leader is Li Su's Wang Fu Liu.

Li Su led a team of more than 1,000 people, opened the road in front, and rushed all the way to the capital, and the speed was extremely fast.

If you enter the capital in the caravan, I am afraid that you will miss the best opportunity to defeat the demons, and it is even possible that at that time, the capital will be captured.

A convoy of more than a thousand people, each carriage had dozens of carriages, and judging by the traces left on the carriages, the goods on the carriages were definitely not light.

Of course, he knew this, and when he knew that Li Su had brought so many gifts, he was also extremely happy in his heart.

"Su'er is really a good boy, what is the value of this gift, my inner library is really empty.

Empty. ”

Emperor Qian's heart blossomed.

In this way, a month passed, and the envoys of various princes and countries also came to the capital one after another.

The New Year's banquet of the Great Qian Empire was still going on as usual.

At night, the Chongde Palace in the Imperial City of Daqian is bright, and there are maids and eunuchs going in and out of the palace, delivering delicacies and wines.

The heads of various families, nobles, and ministers of the fifth rank and above all sat in a regular manner, waiting for the banquet to be held.

Li Su, as the sixth prince and the king of An, has a higher status than the other five princes.

Not long after, accompanied by a sound of "Your Majesty has arrived", Emperor Qianlong walked in, followed by a group of concubines of not low rank.

Everyone saluted Huang Xiaolong and then sat down separately.

Full of wine and food, singing and dancing.

Next, it is time to congratulate and give gifts to Emperor Qian.

Li Yan took a step forward and saluted Emperor Qian, "Father, my son wishes you the sun and moon to be prosperous, the pine crane Changchun, Shoubi Nanshan, Shoubi Nanshan!" ”

"I have asked people to go abroad to find a statue of Buddha Mani, and asked the Yuantong monk of Jinlong Temple to pray for me, wishing my father a long life, peace and prosperity, and eternal prosperity."

As soon as the words fell, the two little fathers-in-law entered the main hall with a mahogany box in their hands.

The wooden box was opened, and inside was a crystal clear, majestic glass Buddha statue.

It's more than a foot long.

Emperor Qian's mother was also a devout Buddhist, and even in her harem, there was a special "Nian Buddha Temple" for her to live in.

His Majesty Emperor Qiandi, although he did not believe in Buddhism, he was still very respectful under the influence of his mother.

Emperor Qiandi once obtained a glass more than an inch high and mottled color from a caravan from the West, which was regarded as the supreme thing by Emperor Qian.

This glazed Buddha is nearly a zhang high, and the whole body is transparent, without a trace of impurities, and it is extremely precious at a glance.

This congratulatory gift shows that Emperor Qiandi likes it very much.

Emperor Qianyuan looked at the throne uprightly, but he was calculating in his heart, this glazed Buddha statue should be able to secretly let people sell it in exchange for a lot of wealth, after all, as the king of a country, he is also very short of money.

The heads of the family, the nobles, and the ministers of civil and military affairs present were all people who had seen the world, and they were all amazed when they saw this scene.

For a while, everyone was complimenting his pure filial piety, and even Emperor Qian praised him without hesitation, which made him very happy.

However, at this moment, Li Su looked puzzled, because he always felt that the statue was a little familiar.

Li Su muttered to himself: "I look at your appearance, it seems that you are made by the glazer of Lingnan Fucheng." “

Because the road into the interior was destroyed by Dilong, in the past three years, most of the goods produced in Lingbei County have been sold to the southeastern countries.

Could it be that this Lingnan glazed Buddha was found here by merchants from other places, so he sold it?

Li Su was thoughtful.

Next, the major princes and major vassal kings sent congratulatory gifts one after another, making him a windfall.

Subsequently, Li Su also offered his own gifts.

Everyone's eyes were on King An, because he turned the tide and turned the tide.

Three years ago, when Li Su left Beijing, he was still a complete gentleman, and he was sent to the poor countryside of Lingnan County.

Three years later, he led a team of Wang Wei to almost sweep away 10,000 demon iron horsemen, and defeated the demon army, which kept the capital of Daqian, and in a certain sense, he could be regarded as keeping the strength of Daqian.

Therefore, in the past few days, the major forces in the capital, as well as some high-ranking officials and nobles, have been constantly sending gifts to Li Su, wanting Li Su to attend the banquet.

But, three years have passed, and this guy seems to have changed from a playboy to a calm person, and no one has accepted it.

It can also be said that King An has never concealed himself anymore, and for three years, he has been a playboy, just a disguise.

No one would think that a person who was once good for nothing would grow to this point in three years.

Li Su took a step forward and greeted him.

"This time, I brought three seeds and dedicated them to Your Majesty." Li Su clasped his fists and saluted.

"A chess piece?" Emperor Qianyuan and the others looked at Li Su in confusion.

"Is this an auspicious trick?"

"The emperor is unequaled, he is not the kind of mercenary faint person, how can he be held hostage by such a trick of 'trying to be auspicious'?"

"Last year, there was a prefect in Jiangnan who did something wrong, bought a strange-looking dog head, used a pair of deer heads as a wedding dress, and used a unicorn as a guise to seek good luck, but was punished by the emperor and dismissed."

"Alas, King An is really unlearned, opportunistic, even if he defeats the magic target, he has little success."

In the crowd, there was a lot of discussion.

Emperor Qiandi took in everyone's expressions, and there was a hint of disappointment on his face.
