Li Xiaogong didn't think much of the Wo people, but Li Zexuan wouldn't let his guard down. He felt that the Wo people were more threatening than the Turks in the north!
Therefore, even if Li Er blamed him for what he did today, he wouldn't regret it!
But the good thing was that Li Er didn't have a good impression of the Wo people because of the loss of dozens of Tang navy in the Wo last year. Naturally, he wouldn't blame him for it!
The fact was that Li Er allowed the Mountain Back Elder Brother to visit Yanhuang College because he wanted to maintain the demeanor of a great country and not be criticized by Confucian apologists for being stingy! He wasn't worried that the Mountain Back Elder Brother would be wronged in Yanhuang College. He was worried that the Mountain Back Elder Brother would see some secrets of Yanhuang College, such as the telescope and the college's laboratory!
Li Zexuan's actions today could only be said to be exactly what Li Er wanted!
"Your Highness, the Marquis of Yong 'an seems to be very unfriendly to us!"
Chang 'an City, in a room of Honglu Temple.
Yoko Ono bowed slightly and whispered to the Mountain Back Elder Brother.
Back when Li Xiaogong led the army to exterminate the Suwo family in Feiniao, there was no longer any dispute over the next ruler of Wo. Although the Ancient Empress hadn't officially appointed the Mountain Back Elder Brother as the Crown Prince, his subordinates had already begun to call him the Crown Prince. At first, the Mountain Back Elder Brother would correct them, but after a long time, he was too lazy to do so. Or rather, he was used to it!
"I can see that too! But since I came to Chang 'an City, the number of times I've seen the Marquis of Yong' an can be counted on one hand. It's even more impossible to offend him. I don't know where his hostility towards me comes from! "
The Mountain Back Elder Brother looked out of the window with a gloomy expression.
A few days ago, he had applied to stay in Chang 'an for a while with the purpose of learning the culture of Tang Empire. When he returned to Wo, he would be able to carry out reforms!
He was also an ambitious person. He hoped that he could become a ruler of resurgence in the future!
But the Great Tang's Imperial Court didn't seem very friendly to him. Li Erdou hadn't given him a residence, which meant that he had to live in the Chamberlain of Dependencies. Wasn't this the same as living in an inn every day? Compared to Feng Zhidai's son, Feng Zhidai's treatment as a messenger. After all, not only did Zhidai have a residence in the capital, but he also was often by the side of the emperor!
"Your Highness, the problem might be that you rarely meet the Marquis of Yong 'an you!"
Yoko Ono's eyes flashed as she cupped her hands.
Back when Su Wo sent people to assassinate Li Xiaogong in Feiniao City, Yoko Ono almost had a large piece of his scalp cut off during the chaotic battle. Although he had already recovered from his injuries, the center of his head was bald and no longer had any hair, making him look somewhat comical.
"Er" How? "
The Big Brother King looked at Yoko Ono. He held back his urge to laugh and asked.
"This subordinate has heard that the Han officials are very particular about reciprocity. If an ordinary person wants to invite a high ranking official to do something, it is impossible for them to not send some generous gifts! Therefore, in this subordinate's humble opinion, Your Highness should prepare some gifts for the Marquis of Yong 'an to build a better relationship. The next time you visit Yanhuang College, your treatment will be much different! "
Yoko Ono cupped her hands and explained with a wise face.
The Big Brother King on the mountain back suddenly understood. He clasped his hands behind his back and said, "It seems that I didn't think it through! Then Yang 'zi, help me think, what is suitable to give the Marquis of Yong' an? It's said that he's the person who makes the most money in the Great Tang, so he probably won't care for gold or silver. What should this Prince give him? "
When Yoko Ono heard this, he was instantly worried. He frowned deeply and thought for a long time before finally saying, "Your Highness, this subordinate believes that since the Duke of Yong 'an doesn't lack money, then he definitely lacks women! I heard that he only has one wife. Why don't we give him two Yamato beauties? He must have never seen the beauties of our Yamato people, right? "
The Big Brother King on the mountain back's eyes lit up and said excitedly, "Good, good, good! Immediately send a letter to the Empress and request for two of the most beautiful and pure women in Japan! "
"Yes ~!"
Yoko Ono hurriedly left to carry out the order.
Only the Big Brother King on the mountain back was left in the room. He muttered, "I heard that the Marquis of Yong 'an founded engineering school, vigorously discovering the people's livelihood and building advanced tools. This is the knowledge that Japan needs! This Prince must obtain it! "
…
Hedong Road, Lan Province, outside Yifang County.
"Old Master Han, this official has already informed the owners of Willow Village, Nanping Village, and Kaiyang Village in advance. They should be waiting in Willow Village right now. Let's go over first. Old Master Han, you can also take a look at the villages!"
A middle-aged official wearing a green official's robe sat in the same carriage as Han Li. The middle-aged official had a kind expression and didn't have the air of an official on his face. If it wasn't for the green official's robe, people would probably mistake him for an ordinary citizen.
"Thank you for your trouble, County Magistrate Wang. This Han can't thank you enough!"
Han Tianhu clasped his hands and thanked him sincerely.
That's right. After many days of traveling, he had already arrived at the border of Lan Province. Once he arrived at the county, he immediately found the County Magistrate of Yifang County — Wang Chengxing!
The Wang family rose from Taiyuan. Within a hundred miles of Taiyuan, the surname Wang was considered a big surname. Although Wang Chengxing wasn't a direct descendant of the Wang family of Taiyuan, he was more or less related to them.
"Haha! What are you talking about, Master Han? This is my duty. Why should I thank you? Don't worry, Master Han. In a while, the owners of the three villages will definitely not make things difficult for you. This official has already sent my county's Deputy to greet them! "
County Magistrate Wang said with a smile.
Although Han Tianhu was just an ordinary citizen, he didn't dare to slight him at all. What a joke. Who would dare to slight the father-in-law of the Marquis of Yong 'an?
Last year, Li Zexuan sent Fubin to Yifang County to look for ore. He offended the son of the County Magistrate of Yifang at that time and was imprisoned. Later, the Provincial Governor of Lan Province was furious and sent people to arrest the County Magistrate and Deputy of Yifang County. Only then was County Magistrate Wang transferred over to be the county magistrate. Now that Li Zexuan's father-in-law was here, he naturally had to take care of him carefully.
Moreover, the day before Han Tianhu's arrival, the current head of the Wang family of Taiyuan, Wang Yu, had sent a message to him, telling him to take good care of him. If there were any mistakes, he would be expelled from the Wang family.
Therefore, Wang Chengxing was just short of worshipping Han Tianhu as if he was his ancestor!
"Thank you for your kind intentions, County Magistrate Wang. However, business is a matter of mutual consent. I don't like to force people. If the owners of the three villages are willing to sell, the price will naturally be negotiable. If not, I will think of other ways. I hope County Magistrate Wang won't use extreme measures because of this!"
