As Cheng Chumo said, with more than 10,000 Kunlun slaves pouring in, the labor market in Chang'an City suddenly fell into madness.

Kunlun slaves, which are powerful enough to lose money, are cheap, obedient and easy to use. Who doesn’t want to get hundreds of them?

Especially the nobles who have a lot of land at home are flocking to Kunlun slaves.

So more than 15,000 Kunlun slaves were stolen almost within five days. They were so fast that even Li Er didn't react, and they were gone, making His Majesty the Emperor angry and furious in the imperial study.

Originally, he was counting on the fleet to bring back a large number of Kunlun slaves who could use them to build the Daming Palace, but he never expected that the people were brought back. Before he could do anything, the bastards below had already snatched them all, especially his brother-in-law, who directly took away 10,000 people.

What a joke, ten thousand people are about to catch up with one-third of the Zuowu Hou Guard. OK? Is it okay? I got so many of them back in one go. Li Er doesn’t doubt Changsun Wuji’s motive. The key is, can you afford to raise so many people?

After thinking for three days, Li Er became more and more angry as he thought about it. He took this day's rest and went straight to his brother-in-law's house without saying a word. He blocked Changsun Wuji in the study and scolded him: "Changsun Wuji, do you think? What do you want to do? Ten thousand Kunlun slaves, do you want to rebel?!"

The girl and her nephew were accompanied by someone, but Changsun Wuji was not afraid of being embarrassed. He replied with his head and face: "Your Majesty calm down, please tell me slowly."

"Say, if you don't give me an explanation today, don't blame me for being ruthless." Li Er sat behind the desk angrily, staring at Changsun Wuji, and said hatefully.

"Your Majesty, I am not obsessed with money and I am determined to steal so many Kunlun slaves back. Now, people are needed in every place. According to the law, the ministers cannot delay the spring plowing and autumn harvest just because they want to use people. Therefore, they can only summon more Kunlun slaves to work and try to avoid overuse of our own people."

Changsun Wuji said while looking at Li Er's face. Seeing that he had no intention of getting angry, he continued to say: "Besides, Kunlun slaves are cheap to use. A Kunlun slave is more than 300 monthly meals. It is enough for us to use our own people."

Fuck, Li Er rolled his eyes.

After all, you know that Kunlun slaves are cheap, right? I don’t know?

"I don't care about that much. In short, you must spit out half of Kunlun slaves, five thousand, and you can recruit up to five thousand, and the rest will be returned."

Li Er's unquestionable tone made it difficult for Changsun Wuji to find any excuses, so he could only bow his head: "I promise, I will obey the order."

Five thousand is just five thousand, it’s better than nothing.

After thinking about it, Changsun Wuji tried to ask again: "Your Majesty, will the navy go to the South China Sea soon? If you are going to do it, I will order a group of Kunlun slaves from them alone, I wonder if it is possible?"

Li Er wanted to return five thousand people, and he felt much more comfortable. He waved his hand and said, "Then whatever you want, as long as the total number of people here does not exceed eight thousand."

Changsun Wuji understood as soon as he heard this. It was probably because everyone was changing the ordering, otherwise it would be impossible for him to only give him three thousand places.

He nodded, and did not bother with this issue, and said: "Your Majesty, I received a short message from Bingzhou a few days ago, saying that many gentry there were making a big fuss about the cooperative problem. Do you think you should send someone to ask about it again?"

"No need." Li Er thought for a while and said, "The matters of the cooperative need to be observed for a while. Let Li Dejian and Chong'er make trouble there for the time being. As long as there is no major problem, there is no need to interfere here."

"Then..." Changsun Wuji wanted to say something, as if he had something to say.

Li Er stared at him: "Do you want to ask about Quyuanli?"

"Your Majesty's eyes are as sharp as a torch." Changsun Wuji smiled embarrassedly. There were also a lot of land in his home. He heard that the magical artifacts of farmland in Bingzhou had to pay attention to it, so he naturally couldn't let go of this concern.

Li Er naturally would not set any obstacles for him. After all, he was not his brother-in-law. Even if he didn't look at his face, he would look at Empress Changsun's face.

"The Quyuan Plough Works Department is trial production, and it will cooperate with the Ministry of Revenue to promote it for a while. You can naturally intervene now, but it must be done in moderation. Considering the ability of tenants to bear it, if it spreads too widely, a large number of tenants will be fired, it is afraid that something will happen."

"No, I understand! In fact, I just want to seek some benefits for the villagers in my hometown in advance, but I have no other intentions. Since Your Majesty is worried that it will spread, I will wait for the Ministry of Works to arrange it and do it." Changsun Wuji naturally understood the reason why Mi Jian hurt the farmers, so when Li Eryi said that he gave up the idea of ​​promoting his fief.

As for making money by building a Quyuan Plough, Changsun Wuji, who has a mine at home, would not be greedy for such a small amount of money.

Li Er didn't say anything when he heard that. The advantage of the curved plow is that it cannot increase the yield by improving the farming efficiency.

The reason why it was not directly promoted is mainly because once it was promoted, a large number of gentry would reduce the number of their own tenants due to the reduction of labor, and push a large number of housework and constant property owners to the brink of despair.

Therefore, before considering how to resettle the people who rely on renting land to make a living, Li Er did not intend to promote the application of the curved plow.

"Wuji!"

"I'm here."

"What do you think about the envoy sent to the Tang Dynasty in Japan some time ago?"

The so-called envoys sent to Tang are actually similar to those of today's international students. However, during the Tang Dynasty, the Japanese sent envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty from all walks of life were people from all walks of life, and there were even soldiers, monks, and Taoist priests.

The group that Li Hao met in Baoding was some of the people sent to the Tang envoys, but half of them were casual guards.

But even so, these people accounted for almost one-third of the envoys sent to Tang. The first person these people asked about Li Hao after coming to Chang'an was Li Hao's whereabouts. After all, in their opinion, Li Hao was just a little brat who likes to show off. Just say a few good words and you will probably be able to trick a lot of skills from him.

But they didn't know that Li Hao liked to show off, but that was also a part of the target. It would be nice to not kill them like Japanese people. How could he pass on the technology that was considered top in the Tang Dynasty to them?

So the group of people who were bearded and died was not unfair at all. Even if they didn't have any trouble in Baoding, they wouldn't have good results when they saw Li Hao.

However, Li Er and Changsun Wuji, who were discussing the Japanese at this time, did not know that one-third of the envoys they called for sent-offs in the Yellow River had already fed the turtle.

Changsun Wuji thought for a while and said, "I think that since the Japanese admired our Celestial Culture, it would be okay to teach them some. They are just some strange techniques and tricks, which is not a big deal. This will not only make them more loyal to our Tang Dynasty, but also show the tolerance and magnanimity of our Tang Dynasty court."

Li Er nodded: "Xuanling also means this. Since that's the case, in a few days, let the Ministry of Rites write and arrange fifteen places for them in the Imperial College. As for others, as long as they do not commit crimes, they can move freely in the territory of the Tang Dynasty."

After the discussion was decided, the two of them talked about some of the things that were not there. Li Er met several other nephews from Changsun Wuji's family, and each of them encouraged him a few words. Only then did he return to the palace with Empress Changsun with satisfaction.

Li Hao doesn’t remember hearing a saying where he said, “Big Boat can take more risks.”

Li Hao didn't know whether this was the case, but he was sure that the person who said this must have not walked by the Yellow River, otherwise he would have known that no matter how big the boat was, he would not dare to take the risk of sailing at night in the Yellow River, otherwise he would be seeking death.

The reason why Li Hao feels this is related to Cheng Yaojing's eagerness to travel.

This guy is the only son in the family. When my mother is gone, she is naturally anxious to rush home. As Lao Cheng's future son-in-law, Li Hao must not be stopped.

So, three five-tooth warships set off overnight, but before midnight, they directly crashed one. If the ship that was hit at that time had not been the first, the people behind them would have reacted in time, and it would have been estimated that the number of people in this ship would not have survived, and the big ship would have to sink to the bottom of the water and become an antique several years later.

Fortunately, the old fairy Cheng Yaojin learned a lot of lessons after experiencing the disaster, and no longer commanded randomly, stayed in the cabin with his wife.

Of course, according to Cheng Yinyin, the main reason why Old Cheng didn't come out was that he was confined to his wife Cui, not because he was embarrassed.

After this small episode, the remaining two warships were smooth sailing in the following days. Seven days later, the warships left the mouth of the Yellow River, and half a day later, they approached the shore on the coast of Jeju.

After a long farewell, Lao Cheng and his family left the boat to land, while Li Hao continued to move forward and headed straight for Dengzhou.

The ocean-going navy had basically exhausted its supplies through the South China Sea, and the warships also needed to be repaired after such a long sailing. This was impossible in Luozhou, which was isolated overseas, so they had to return to Dengzhou to station.

This is also one of the means by which Li Er controls the navy. He sets up the supply points on the local area, and no matter how far the ocean navy runs, it will have to come back sooner or later.

Li Hao originally didn't want to go to Dengzhou, but after the incident with the Japanese, he changed his mind and thought that it would be a way out anyway, so why not go to Dengzhou and take a walk and see Wang Wendu and the others.

It has been almost two years since I left the Navy, and I don’t know how they are now. At least I am still named the governor.

After half a day of sailing, at sunset, the Dengzhou Navy Camp was in sight. Under the stars of fire, the entire military camp looked like a city that never sleeps. Huge warships were docked on the dock or in the dock, and under the fire, they were like ancient ferocious beasts crawling.

A feeling of a son's sudden growth surged in Li Hao's heart. The Dengzhou Navy Station was pitiful, with only seven or eight warships, all of which were in dilapidated.

Now the Dengzhou Navy station has expanded by nearly five times, with twelve sea ships with thousands of materials, and the rest of the various auxiliary ships and transport ships, totaling more than tens of them.

The combat effectiveness has soared to the point where you can travel far to the South China Sea, and you will have no damage to hundreds of pirate warships.

As he watched from a distance, a fast ship from the navy station sailed out, and two dark men stood at the bow of the ship, waving desperately to this side.

"These two guys, together, are in their seventies, why are they still like children?" Through the telescope, Li Hao saw the appearance of the two and couldn't help but curl his lips.

Wang Wendu, Lei Yao, and Li Hao's two deputy in the navy, one is in charge of the battle and the other is in charge of the government. He is always high, but today he stands at the bow of the boat and jumps and jumps, shouting at the top of his voice: "Governor, Grand Governor..."

Li Hao turned around silently, embarrassingly, just pretending that he couldn't see or hear.

Wang Wendu and Lei Yao didn't care at all. The Clippers had just stopped behind the Five-Tooth Warship, and they rushed up along the rope ladder thrown from above, and came to Li Hao happily: "Governor, you finally remembered us."

"Get out, I never thought of you." Li Hao glared at the two of them, but a smile appeared on his tense face.

There is no way. Although these two guys are a little bad, they were comrades who fought side by side. When the navy was just established, it would be nonsense to say that they had no feelings.

"Hehe..." Lei Yao scratched his head and smirked.

Wang Wendu stepped forward to salute: "Wang Wendu has met the governor! I haven't seen him for two years, can the governor be safe?!"

"It's not bad, I wasn't angry to death by you." Li Hao glanced at Wang Wendu and said in a deep voice: "You should have received the message I sent half a year ago. What is the case with Goguryeo? Also, what happened to the Japanese a few days ago? Why did Japanese warships enter the territory of the Tang Dynasty? The people on the ship actually carry weapons. What are you doing for food?"

Although we knew that when the Japanese entered the country, most of the navy officers and soldiers were on the way back from the South China Sea, we still had to give them necessary knocks, otherwise these arrogant soldiers would probably have their tails raised to the sky.

Wang Wendu and Lei Yao looked at each other without any defense: "What the governor blamed is that we were dereliction of duty, and they were careless and let the Japanese take advantage of the loopholes."

The duty of a soldier is to obey orders. This is the motto of the Ocean Navy. They don’t care about other troops. However, as long as they are from the Ocean Navy, they must keep this sentence in their hearts and bring it into the coffin even if they die.

Although the Japanese entered the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the main force of the navy was absent, Wang Wendu, who was staying in Dengzhou, still had three thousand-item warships and 600 warships.

If there is no Japanese left behind, it would be a dereliction of duty and a sin.

Not to mention that Wang Wendu has ships and soldiers in his hands, even if he doesn't, as long as he is still there, no one will be allowed to enter the territory of his country.

Li Hao had a cold face and remained silent, as if he was considering how to deal with the two guys in front of him.

The rules of the navy cannot be broken. No matter how many reasons are, the rules are rules.
