Chapter 228 Meet
"Brother Li, I know that you are all in Chang'an City's powerful people and the affairs of the escorts. If Brother Li can do his best, please give me a few more words to the noble person."
Just when Li Longji was feeling, Chen Guang suddenly bowed to him, which made him sigh more and more that Chen Lang was a true loyal minister.
Feng Changqing next to him has always been good at observing his expression. He looked at the changes in his expression on the saint's face and admired Chen Guang's acting skills. To put it bluntly, the most important thing is whether the saint supports it. As long as the saint supports it, they will be able to do it with great fanfare. At that time, all the Silk Road will be mastered by them, and the wealth they can obtain is enough to help the Anxi army get rid of its current dilemma.
"Chen Lang, you don't have to do this. The saints are wise rulers today. If they all protect the saints, they may allow the good sons from the four towns to join the army?"
The saint was right next to him, and Feng Changqing tried to persuade him, but he wanted to slap the dragon's fart. Maybe the saint would look at him with different eyes?
"It's okay to say about the incident, but if the good sons from the four towns join the army, there will be criticism in the court."
Li Longji shook his head. Anxi was far away from the Tang Dynasty. It was precisely because of this that he wanted to use the Han soldiers in the pass. If the four good families in the town were allowed to join the army, if someone among them had a high position and had a strange intention in the future, it would be a disaster.
"The Turks can still serve as generals in the court, so why can't the four good families be in the good towns?"
Chen Guang still couldn't help it. He was always very surprised. The saint in front of him was generous to Hu merchants in Chang'an City, and the tax rate was so low that it was simply negligible. For example, the northern border troops chose Hu people as generals, such as the An Lushan brothers, but they were in the four towns of Anxi, but they forbidden the good families in the four towns of Tang to join the army.
"Chen Lang, this is different. The Turks have long been weak. Those Turks who defected to the Tang Dynasty are rootless Pings. However, there are many small countries in Anxi, and there are many people who have been passed down for hundreds of years. The court will definitely have some concerns."
Hearing Li Longji's answer, Chen Guang finally solved the doubts in his heart. It was similar to his guess. Although the Western Regions countries admired the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty would only establish a stable rule in the Western Regions. If decades passed and the Western Regions countries were almost the same, it would be natural for the four towns to join the army. Unfortunately, the Anshi Rebellion accelerated the process and interrupted the process.
"Brother Li, in fact, the imperial court can immigrate the people in the pass to Anxi to settle down. Now there are many people who have lost their land. Instead of becoming those powerful tenants, it is better to go to Anxi..."
"Chen Lang, although you think well, this matter is not easy to do. Even if the imperial court issued an edict, how many people are willing to respond, how difficult it is to move all the way."
Li Longji was moved. It was indeed a good idea to immigrate the people to Anxi, but it was too difficult to implement. Local tyrants, noble families, and officials in the court would ruin this matter in the end.
He was old and did not have the courage to innovate when he was young, and he did not want to make trouble anymore. The escort business might as well let Chen Guang let go. At least he could reduce the military expenses for the court and give the veterans a way out.
"Brother Li said it, but he took it for granted."
Chen Guang knew that it was almost impossible to let the court promote immigration to Anxi. The local tyrants and noble families who obtained population and wealth from the annexed land would not let such a thing happen. Even Li Longji could not do the right thing to do with the "people in the world".
"If Chen Lang has this intention, he is enough to surpass 90% of the officials in the world. Why not stay in Chang'an City as an official?"
"Brother Li, although Chang'an is good, it is not someone's home, let alone the sinister officialdom, so someone can't handle it."
Listening to Chen Guang's words, Li Longji laughed, "By the way, I heard that the saint wanted to give Chen Lang a marriage. Could it be that Chen Lang would take General Wang's daughter to Anxi?"
"The saint gave the marriage, so he naturally did not dare to disobey him. It would be better if the wife of the Wang family was willing to go back to Anxi with her. If she didn't want to, let her stay in Chang'an City!"
"Chen Lang is really not sympathetic at all!"
Li Longji joked, but he still admired Chen Guang's persistence in his heart. If someone else could be his adopted son-in-law, he would have been crazy about joy, not to mention that he would have thought of leaving Chang'an City as soon as possible.
Chen Guang smiled when he heard this. Everyone has their own ambitions. If Wang Yunxiu was willing to go back to Anxi with him, he would not be ashamed of her. But if she insisted on staying in Chang'an City, he would have to be a scumbag again.
"By the way, Brother Li, I wonder what's wrong with you coming to find someone today?"
All the ones that should be asked have been asked have been asked. Although the answers are not satisfactory, Chen Guang already felt satisfied. At least he already knew that Li Longji had already acquiesced to the matter of the escort agency. This is great news and we cannot ask for more.
"I've been bored in the mansion these days and want to ask Chen Lang to go to Pingkangfang on another day and play a few songs by the way, so that the world can know the music we made that day."
Only then did Li Longji remember his purpose and quickly said to Chen Guang that his life in the palace was like a pool of stagnant water, which was really boring. Being with Shen Guang could make him feel a long-lost youthful feeling.
"It's better to choose a day than to hit the day. I finished making this sand table today, and it was just right to relax. I wonder what Brother Li wanted?"
"good."
Li Longji nodded, "Well, I'll go back and prepare. We'll see you at the entrance of Pingkangfang later."
After seeing Li Longji away, Feng Changqing returned to the mansion and said to Chen Guang, "Chen Lang, to be honest, I was so scared that I was just dying!"
"Brother Feng, will you go to Pingkangfang later?"
"Forget it, Pingkangfang, if you go there, you will only make the saints disgusted with it."
Feng Changqing is still very self-aware. It is enough to chat and laugh with the saints just now. If you insist on going to Pingkangfang with ignorantly, it would be annoying.
"Since that's the case, I'll feel wronged with Brother Feng."
"What's wrong with you? Accompanying the king is like a tiger. However, Chen Lang needs to be careful when he goes there. If a saint takes a wrong step, he will be killed..."
Thinking of the time when [Biquge www.boquge.info] was just around the corner, Feng Changqing said with lingering fear that Chen Lang has always been very brave. It is both a good thing and a bad thing. After all, the heart of heaven is hard to predict!
"Thank you, Brother Feng, for reminding me, I will act carefully."
Chen Guang responded and then went to change his clothes. Since he was going to Pingkangfang, he could not wear ordinary clothes.
...
"Why is Saburo back?"
"Chen Lang said it's better to choose a day than to meet the day. We will go to Pingkangfang tonight, so I'll come back first."
On the carriage outside Huaiyuanfang, Li Longji looked at Yang Yuhuan and said, "You said you will go to Pingkangfang later. Should we change our clothes?"
"Everyone listened to Saburo."
