Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 1142 Ending in Chang'an



Chapter 1142 Ending in Chang'an
It has to be said that the deal proposed by Li Qinzai is indeed of great benefit, and he is sure that Cui Linqian cannot refuse.

There was a slave market in the Tang Dynasty, which was shady according to the law, but as long as the people who were sold were not foreign nationals registered in the Tang Dynasty, the government would often turn a blind eye.

So in just a few decades after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, in the super-big cities of Chang'an and Luoyang, many wealthy and wealthy families traveled by Kunlun slaves carrying sedan chairs, horses and pedals, and these big families also used the number of Kunlun slaves and orchids in the Western Regions in their homes. , to show off their own strength.

The so-called "Kunlun slaves" are of course not produced in the Kunlun Mountain area. Their composition is very complicated. Later generations said that they were trafficked from Africa. population?
In fact, Kunlun slaves came from Southeast Asia or South Asia, that is, the Philippines, Indonesia and other countries in the previous life. There are tropical countries, and people are tanned all year round. Therefore, in the written and picture records handed down by the people of Tang Dynasty, Kunlun slaves are everywhere. A dark figure.

Now the appearance of Li Qinzai has opened up a new world for Datang's population market.

The Japanese people are not strong enough, and their personalities are generally cunning and insidious, but...they are big.

As long as the training is done, are you afraid that they will work stealthily and play tricks?

The price of human slaves in today's market is also very high. A healthy male human slave is worth about [-] to [-] cash. For women, the face and figure determine the price.

The profit from sales is not a big one. The important thing is that these labors can create immeasurable value after they come to Datang. Cultivating wasteland, farming and harvesting, and the abundance of labor means that the income of the powerful and landlord class in Datang will increase every year.

As Cui Linqian representing the interests of the powerful and landlord class, Li Qinzai did not believe that he would be indifferent.

If the young labor force of the Japanese country is handed over to Cui Linqian, in the form of this farming society, whoever controls the labor market will have the right to speak. I believe Cui Linqian can see this intangible benefit clearly.

Weng and his son-in-law broke up today, it doesn't matter, there is still tomorrow.

Pushed back to the wing by the maid in the backyard, Cui Jie and the maid carefully carried Li Qinzai back to the bed, and then helped him undress and wipe his face.

"Just now there was a loud quarrel in the backyard. I heard it even in the house. What did my husband and my father talk about? You didn't fight, did you?" Cui Jie asked nervously.

Li Qinzai said softly: "Silly woman, I am your father's son-in-law, how dare I fight with my father-in-law?"

"I had a very happy chat with your father just now. Your father kept praising me for being a talent, and said that marrying you to me was really wronged me. The more your father said, the more he felt inferior. Later, he simply gritted his teeth and said that he would marry me with a different surname. Brother, from now on you will call me Uncle, and he will call me Younger Brother, we will have our own opinions."

Li Qinzai sighed, and said in a deep voice: "Your father is as enthusiastic as a desert. I really can't bear it. You can persuade your father later that ordinary enthusiasm is enough, don't go too far."

Cui Jie gasped and stared at him dumbfounded.

With such a serious expression, how did he manage to talk nonsense without changing his face?

After a long time, Cui Jie came back to her senses and began to look around.

Li Qinzai asked curiously, "What is Madam looking for? Uncle will help you find..."

"Li Qinzai! You are going to die!" Cui Jie was furious, and pinched his arm hard. It was bruised and purple, and Li Qinzai's eyes widened in pain.

Sometimes he really hates himself, knowing that the consequences of talking nonsense will be disastrous, but he still can't control his cheap mouth...

The next day, Cui Linqian really came again.

This time Cui Linqian calmed down a lot.

Everyone sat together to present the facts and reason. Cui Linqian insisted on splitting [-]%, but Li Qinzai and Xue Na firmly refused. There was no son-in-law in the business field, and the two sides quarreled again.

After the quarrel, they each compromised, and finally agreed that Li Qinzai and Xue Na would share [-]% each, and Cui Linqian would share [-]%.

An unreasonable deal, reached a consensus among the three people's cheerful smiles.

Without further ado, the warehouse of Li Qinzai's family has been emptied out, and now they are urgently waiting for blood to replenish their mana. Don't even ask Xue Na to send a letter to the steward of Xue's family who is in charge of the Japanese country, asking them to send the first batch of Japanese laborers to Dengzhou, and Cui Linqian People will also be sent to receive them at Dengzhou Port.

If there is no accident, when Li Qinzai and his party return to Chang'an from Qingzhou, the first transaction will be settled soon.

After resting at Cui's house for two days, Li Qinzai and his party set off on their way home again.

Cui Linqian led the Cui family members to send them ten miles away, but he didn't have a good look at Li Qinzai along the way.

Apparently, Cui Linqian was still dissatisfied with the result of the discussion between Weng and his son-in-law, and felt that he was at a disadvantage.

Of course, Li Qinzai couldn't increase his share for the sake of his good looks, and the virtuous son-in-law's family didn't have any money left.

At the intersection ten miles away, Weng and his son-in-law looked at each other with disgust and said goodbye eagerly.

Cui Jie wiped her tears and bid farewell to her father and her clan, and the group headed westward.

The rest of the road was calm and windless.

Such a team is too conspicuous, attracting the attention of countless peddlers. In every city that passes by along the way, the officials have already received official documents from the Governor of Dengzhou, and they basically welcome them out of the city ten miles away. Continue on the road for two days.

Worried about Li Qinzai's bumpy road, the traveling speed of the chariots and horses was much slower than that of ordinary business travelers. After walking for nearly a month, they finally arrived outside Chang'an City.

Looking at the towering Chang'an City Wall in the distance, Li Qinzai took a deep breath.

A farewell to recent years seems like a lifetime away.

"Husband, we're home now..." Cui Jie hugged his waist tightly in the carriage and said.

Li Qinzai sighed: "From now on, we will live a stable life and never risk our lives again."

Cui Jie hugged him even tighter: "Yes! If the emperor entrusts you with dangerous errands in the future, my husband will never agree to it again. In order to serve my family and country, my husband has already lost his life once, which is enough."

"Don't worry, if the Son of Heaven asks me to do dangerous things in the future, I will fall to the ground and pretend to be dead on the spot, even if a knife is inserted into my thigh, I won't wake up."

The couple looked at each other and smiled, and the carriage slowly moved towards Chang'an City.

When approaching the gate of the city, Li Family Qu suddenly found a middle-aged man and woman in fancy clothes standing outside the city, behind them there was a group of servants, looking around on tiptoe from time to time, obviously waiting for someone, the cold wind in the field made them shiver, but They still stand upright.

As he approached, Feng Su looked carefully and was shocked.

"Five Shaolang, Erlang and his wife are waiting for you!" Feng Su said loudly.

Immediately, the members of the Li family got off their horses and bowed to the middle-aged couple.

Li Qinzai was also taken aback, and hastily ordered someone to lift him off the carriage. The two men supported him and walked forward with difficulty, until he came in front of the middle-aged couple.

They are Li Siwen and Li Cuishi.

Seeing that Li Qinzai was being supported all the way, and every step was very difficult, the husband and wife stepped forward quickly, supporting him from left to right.

"My son...is suffering!" Li Cui wailed with heartache.

Li Siwen's eyes were also red, and he took deep breaths from time to time to hold back his tears.

"Father, mother, we are very lucky that the baby is still alive." Li Qinzai smiled and helped Li Cuishi to wipe away tears.
