The imperial edict came late, but the rewards came quickly. Almost as soon as the edict was issued, a large amount of resources and money were sent to the soldiers who had made contributions. [Love ↑ Go △ Little ↑ Say △ Wang]

Ang Lee and his soldiers who had made contributions were all richly rewarded. Among them, Ang Lee received the most rewards, followed by Lifei Shouyu, Kun Xiong, and Fei Yu. In addition, the soldiers' official positions, especially their ranks, were all promoted by at least one rank. Lifei Shouyu received the most, and his rank was promoted from the upper tier of Level 8 to the upper tier of Level 6, two ranks higher than Ang Lee.
Of course, this was because the higher the rank, the slower the promotion. Every promotion meant a great change in status. Ang Lee's promotion to Level 5 was already a very high rank.
"Big Brother, I'm now a Level 7 official, the same rank as the county magistrate. Haha!"
Li Kunxiong was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
Ang Lee patted Kun Xiong's shoulder and looked at the rest of his trusted subordinates. "Brothers, this is just the beginning. In the future, as long as we make more contributions, we will continue to climb up the ranks."
"We are willing to follow General Li and make more contributions."
"Good. The rebellion in Cuandi has been going on for a long time. If I'm not wrong, the Tang dynasty will soon send troops to quell the rebellion. At that time, we will have plenty of opportunities to make contributions. Everyone, be prepared."
"Don't worry, General Li. We are ready to go to war at any time."
The soldiers' morale was high, and they were ready to go to war at any time.
Li Feiyu walked over quietly and asked, "Big Brother, His Majesty has rewarded us with so much money that we won't be able to spend it all in a short time. Also, where should we put the money? We can't carry it around with us, right?"
Ang Lee grinned. "When I met with His Majesty today, His Majesty reminded me to buy a house. Besides, we can't stay in the Spiritual State all the time. We have nothing to do these days, so we must buy a house."
"Big Brother is right. When we were in White Wolf Village, we still had a home. Now that we are in the capital, we don't have a place to stay. How can this be?"
Li Kunxiong also supported buying a house.
Ang Lee nodded lightly and looked at his brothers. "Only by shopping around can we buy the most satisfactory house. Let's go now and split up to find out the price of each house."
"Alright, let's go."
Kunxiong, Fei Yu, and the others split up and went to different parts of Chang 'an City to inquire about the price of each house and find the most suitable one.
Of course, they weren't looking for houses aimlessly. Instead, they first looked for the middlemen of each house. This was similar to the real estate agents in the modern world. After all, Chang 'an City of the Tang dynasty had 108 houses, and each house was as large as a small city. With such a large area, if they didn't ask the well-informed middlemen, they wouldn't be able to find a house.
Chang 'an City was the largest city at this time. There were millions of people in the city and hundreds of thousands of houses. Otherwise, it wouldn't be able to accommodate such a large population.
Ang Lee and his brothers didn't enter all 108 houses, but the middlemen of each house didn't only own houses. They knew the houses of more than a dozen houses around them, which saved Ang Lee and the others a lot of trouble.
In the evening, Li An and his subordinates returned and reported the information they had on the houses they knew.
"Big Brother, the houses in Chang 'an City are really expensive, especially in the north. They are ridiculously expensive. The south is better."
Li Kunxiong's first impression was that the houses were too expensive.
"Big Brother, Second Brother is right. The most expensive house in the north is more than five times more expensive than the cheapest house in the south."
This was obvious. The imperial city and the heads of the government of the Tang dynasty were all concentrated in the north. Those who lived in the north were all nobles. The terrain was good, so the houses were naturally more expensive.
Ang Lee pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you think we should buy an expensive house or a cheap one?"
"Of course we should buy a cheap one. We can buy several houses with the same amount of money."
"The houses in the north are close enough to the imperial city and not far from the east and west markets. It seems more convenient."
"The south is better. The cheap ones are the best. It doesn't matter if they are farther. We can get there by horse in a while."
Kun Xiong, Fei Yu, and the others kept arguing.
Ang Lee frowned. Although he did not have a phobia of choice, buying a house was a big deal. He had to be cautious. It was the most important investment in life.
"Don't worry, these are the blueprints of several properties in Daye Square. The houses are all very big and very cheap. Most importantly, there are more than ten properties here, all in one place. If we buy them together, it will be even cheaper. I think it's not bad."
Li Feishouyu handed the drawings to Ang Lee and said softly.
Ang Lee was tempted. He knew the location of Daye Square. It was in the south of Chang 'an City. Changle Square was in the south, Anshan Square was in the north, Kaiming Square was in the west, and the famous Jinchang Square was in the east. The Great Mercy Temple and the Wild Goose Pagoda were in Jinchang Square.
In addition, Qujiang Pond, the largest garden in the Tang dynasty, was not far from Daye Square. As long as they went around Tongshan, Tongji, and Qujiang Pond, they could reach the beautiful Qujiang Pond.
There were such cheap houses in such a beautiful place. It would be a pity not to buy them.
"Shouyu, this house is actually a four-sectioned one. What's the price?"
Ang Lee took a fancy to the biggest house.
"It's okay. This should be a three-sectioned house. There is a large open space at the back. There are only weeds on it. We can build a house after cleaning it up. Because the original owner of the house has left the capital and is in a hurry to sell the house, the price is very reasonable."
Ang Lee nodded. "Not bad. This house is very good. I like it. I'll buy it."
"Big Brother, there are more than 30 rooms in this house. We won't be able to live in all of them!"
Li Feiyu felt that the house was a little too big.
Ang Lee rolled his eyes at Li Feiyu. This silly boy didn't know what investment was at all. It's such a good house. We should buy it while the original owner is in a hurry to sell it. As for whether we can live in it or not, it doesn't matter. The bigger the place, the more comfortable it will be for people to live in it. "
"Boy, do you still expect to live with Big Brother all the time? Looking at it now, these more than 30 rooms are really big. However, when Big Brother marries seven or eight women, we may not be able to live in it. At that time, all of you will have to get out of here. "
Ang Lee joked.
Li Kunxiong touched his head. "In this case, we also have to buy a house. Otherwise, when Big Brother marries seven or eight women, we will have no place to live."
"Hahaha!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
These brothers had all been rewarded for their meritorious service and had a lot of money in their hands. It was not a problem for them to buy a house with two courtyards in the square in the south of Chang 'an City. Moreover, these guys didn't have a family. If they didn't use the reward money to buy a house, they would squander it. In that case, they would have nothing. As their leader, Ang Lee naturally had to think for them.
"Daye Square is a very good location. Although it's a little far from the imperial city in the north, we are still young. We can get there in a short while by horse. Most importantly, with the same amount of money, we can buy a house several times bigger. Why don't we buy a house here and buy a few more houses?"
Ang Lee said his idea excitedly.
"Big Brother, I think it's okay. Anyway, we have the money in our hands and we have nothing to do. Let's buy a house!"
"I'll listen to Big Brother. If Big Brother buys a house, I'll buy a smaller one in a nearby place. With the money seized from the defeated Tubo army and the reward from His Majesty, it should be enough."
"No problem. The sky is still bright. Why don't we go take a look now and make a move as soon as possible to prevent others from beating us to it?"
Everyone expressed their opinions.
Ang Lee nodded. "Okay, let's set off immediately and go to Daye Square to look at the houses."
The group acted immediately and immediately rode to Daye Square in the south of the capital city.
For people with mobility problems, Daye Square was too far away from the imperial city. However, for the young Ang Lee and the rest, this distance was nothing. They could get there in a short while by horse. Being able to buy a bigger house was the best choice.
The middleman of Daye Square had dozens of properties that needed to be sold. There were big houses and small houses, and all kinds of models were available. They could choose to their heart's content.
When he heard that Ang Lee and the rest wanted to buy a house, the middleman was happy to introduce them. He worked hard to take out the blueprints of all the houses and let Ang Lee and the rest choose to their heart's content.
These blueprints were very detailed and almost all the characteristics of the houses were drawn. They also marked the surrounding terrain and the nearby houses. The introduction was meticulous and reflected the rigorous style of the era that strived for accuracy and authenticity.
The house that Ang Lee chose was introduced by Li Feishou Yu. It was a big house with three rooms and a large open space at the back. The rest of the group did not receive as many rewards as Ang Lee. The houses they chose were mainly two-rooms and were two or three times smaller. However, they were all decent properties with more than ten rooms. After buying them, they would be a family with a house in the capital city. At least they would not have to stay in places like the Ling State Court.
After Li An made up his mind to buy this sizable property, the rest of the brothers also chose nearby properties and immediately agreed to buy them. This made the agent so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. To facilitate so many transactions at once, the agent would receive a large sum of money for the service fee.
It would take some time to pay the money and get the property certificate. However, it was already late and it was too late to go back and withdraw the money. The government department that handled the deed tax had already closed, so they could only wait until the next day to do it.
Ang Lee asked the middleman to take them to various properties to check the quality of the houses and further determine if they were really worth buying.
First, they visited a few smaller two-room properties. Whether it was the quality of the buildings or the degree of their age, they were all very good and were worth buying.
Finally, they visited the big house that Ang Lee wanted to buy. It had three rooms and an empty yard with an area of six acres.
"Big Brother, this yard is too big. As long as we clean up all the weeds, we can build a horse racing field. We can also build an archery field and a training field."
"Big Brother's house is for people to live in. What's the point of building a horse racing field? We can open up a piece of farmland and plant some vegetables and fruits. We can also raise some small animals, just like when we were in White Wolf Village. This is what home looks like."
When Li An heard this, he felt a slight pain in his heart. The incident in White Wolf Village unknowingly came to his mind. At that time, his home had so many relatives. That was the true home. And now, the house was a lot bigger than when he was in White Wolf Village. But because he didn't have any relatives, even if he lived here, it would feel empty and lonely.
"Little Sister came to the capital last month. However, she did not see me and went back to the grasslands. It would be great if she could stay."
Ang Lee could not help but sigh.
"Big Brother, Little Sister came to the capital?"
Ang Lee did not tell anyone about this. Therefore, even Kun Xiong and Fei Yu did not know about this.
Ang Lee felt that there was no need to hide it anymore. Therefore, he told everyone the truth.
"The house here is relatively big. In the future, we will live here. You can leave the house that you bought until you can't live in it."
Ang Lee warmly invited everyone to live in his house first. This way, it would be convenient for everyone to live together. Of course, if there were too many people in the house in the future, it would not be too late to move out. After all, these houses were relatively close to each other. It was very convenient for them to contact each other.
Since the original owner of the house had already moved out and it was already late, Li An and the others decided to stay in the house and wait for the next morning to officially sign the contract to buy the house.
###
In the Honglu Guild Hall, Yu Chengjie was so anxious that he could not sleep. He paced back and forth in his room. His three confidants stood beside him. However, none of them dared to speak loudly.
The reason why Yu Chengjie was so anxious was that he had not completed the task that his father, Pi Luoge, had given him. He had not obtained the right to control Nanzhao.
This time, Pi Luoge had originally intended for the eldest prince, Gelofeng, to come and fight. However, under the instigation of his confidants, Yu Chengjie insisted that he should go to the Great Wall to share his father's burden. He also vowed that he would complete the task well. In order to train his second prince, Pi Luoge agreed.
Therefore, this task was of great significance to Yu Chengjie. It was an important opportunity for him to win the trust of his father and seize the right to inherit the throne of Nanzhao. However, he did not seize this opportunity. As a result, he completely messed up the matter.
"Second Prince, don't be discouraged. As long as the imperial edict of the Tang dynasty has not been issued, we still have a chance."
"Yes, yes, yes. Second Prince, we can go and persuade the Right Chief Minister. Let him tell the Tang dynasty's emperor that it was not easy for the Tang Army to enter Cuandi. Perhaps the Tang dynasty's emperor will change his mind."
"Yes! Second Prince, now, the Right Chief Minister has clearly expressed his support for you. Many officials of the Tang dynasty also support you. We still have a chance. "
