Naturally, this detail was not hidden from Emperor Qian, and he couldn't help but wonder how Li Su trained the guards.

"Your Majesty, when I, An Wangwei, selected soldiers, I was a strong man selected by Baili. Then, according to the training plan given by the prince, I ran [-] miles a day with weight, used equipment to practice arm strength and waist strength, and did special movements for [-] miles each day. Group."

"In order to maintain such a large amount of exercise, An Wangwei eats four meals a day during training. Each meal has meat, eggs and milk. The amount of meat consumed by each person is not less than one catty per day! Even when not training Three meals!"

This An Wangwei said proudly, "Who else in the world can compare to my An Wangwei's treatment.

Emperor Qian and all the courtiers were shocked after hearing this.

"How much does it cost to support this guard!"

"I remember that the prince's guard is 3000 people. Could it be that 3000 people are trained according to this standard!" At this time, a big man in the court suddenly thought of the key point and shouted.

Chapter 6 The Extravagant An Wangwei

The An Wangwei who was asked before immediately puffed up his chest and said proudly: "Yes, all the 3000 troops of my Prince Wei are like this."

Li Su hurriedly explained: "Raising these 3000 people is already depriving the whole of Lingnan. Everyone knows that Lingnan is poor. I hope that the imperial court will support our poor village more in the future."

Li Su thought in his heart: Don't show off too much, children who cry will have milk, and crying poor will definitely not hurt you.

According to the pissing nature of the people in the court, they might think how much money they have, and they insist on smashing their bones and sucking their marrow to squeeze out a few taels of oil and water.

But looking at the expressions of the people in the court and Emperor Qian, it was clear that they didn't believe Li Su's nonsense at all.

It's just that everyone is a decent person, Emperor Qian and the big bosses in the court don't intend to expose Li Su.

All of a sudden, everyone in the court was wondering what happened to Lingnan Mansion, thousands of miles away, and why it was so rich.

At this time, a messenger soldier ran in, knelt down and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the Tatars have withdrawn their troops!"

wow~

Emperor Qian and the officials were overjoyed, the crisis in the capital was completely gone.

Everyone knew it was thanks to Li Su and his An Wangwei.

Emperor Qian waved his hand and said domineeringly: "King An has made great achievements in defeating the Tatars and saving the capital. He will reward 3000 taels of silver, and King An and Wei will reward each of them with ten taels of silver!"

Li Su rolled his eyes, complained about being petty in his heart, and led An Wangwei to kneel down to thank him.

As for An Wangwei, everyone also thinks that his father is a bit stingy. We An Wangwei's monthly salary is 20 taels, and we can get a hundred taels of spoils every time after the war. His Royal Highness An's father is a bit stingy. ah.

If Emperor Qian knew what Li Su and An Wangwei were thinking, he would probably vomit blood in anger.

In fact, Emperor Qian was not to blame for being stingy, after all, in his perception, the salary of the imperial guards of the emperor was only three taels of silver per month, while ordinary soldiers in the Beijing camp only had one tael of silver per month, so rewarding them with ten taels was already a lot.

The main reason is that the treasury and the internal treasury have no money. The emperor is really poor.

……

After the Tatars withdrew their troops, the surrounding area of ​​the capital returned to normal.

As for the aftermath and the revenge against the Tatars, it is naturally a matter for Emperor Qian and the gang of court officials to consider.

At the same time, there were more than a dozen quiet teams galloping towards Lingnan.

……

An Wangwei and the personal guards of other vassal princes were concentrated and stationed near the Jingying on the outskirts of the city.

Local vassals far away from the capital, such as Zhao Wang and Li Su, generally allow a large number of personal guards to enter the capital to ensure safety along the way.

However, the vassal kings who are closer to the capital generally require light vehicles to enter the capital, otherwise, what do you want to do?Lead troops to attack the capital?

So this also led to the fact that there were only a few hundred guards around the vassal kings who entered the capital one step ahead of time.

Otherwise, if everyone brings three thousand personal guards to Beijing, the Tatars may not be able to take advantage.

Dagan is not a weak former dynasty. Although it is not necessarily possible to win the Tatars in a single fight, large-scale army battles can also win or lose against the Tatars.

At this time, the vicinity of the Beijing camp was full of voices, and the personal guards of the princes from all walks of life set up camp in their designated positions.

In the next month, there will be several groups of guards who have not arrived yet to be stationed here.

As a result, the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp and the personal guards of the princes from all walks of life saw the next scene.

Every day, more than a dozen carts pulled full goods from the capital to An Wangwei's barracks.

Whole pigs, sheep, flocks of chickens and ducks, and truckloads of eggs were sent to An Wangwei's territory.

As soon as it was time to eat, one could smell all kinds of meaty aromas wafting from An Wangwei's barracks.

The most enviable thing is that their An Wangwei actually eats three meals a day!

You must know that for ordinary soldiers in the Beijing camp, they only eat two meals a day, and only officers and soldiers are eligible to eat three meals.

And An Wangwei actually eats three meals a day!Isn't this too embarrassing?Is it possible that King An can touch stones into gold?

I am afraid of comparison in everything. Before, everyone was treated similarly. At this time, the guards of the Beijing camp and the princes from all walks of life smelled the smell of meat wafting from the camp next door, and then looked at the vegetable leaves and scattered oil in their bowls. Hua, suddenly felt that the rice in his hand was not fragrant.

This feeling of complaint was naturally felt by the officers of each team, and it was directly fed back to the chief officer of the Beijing camp and his own prince.

So this made it difficult for the chief officials and vassal princes of the Beijing camp. It is really a person sitting at home, and the disaster comes from heaven.

You said that you, King An, just sneaked in to eat meat for the soldiers. Why are you making such a big fuss so everyone knows about it?

Now we are not human inside and out!Li Su, inhuman!

In order to reward An Wangwei for his great achievements in guarding the capital and defeating the Tatars, Emperor Qian made a decree to allow An Wangwei's soldiers to enter the city in batches every day to play.

Therefore, in the past few days, the people in the capital can see groups of Lingnan soldiers wearing black coats wandering around the city every day.

The merchants in the capital are very enthusiastic about it. On the one hand, it is because these people saved the crisis in the capital, and on the other hand, it is because these An Wangwei are really rich.

It's called a rich man, he buys things in piles, and he doesn't even blink when he takes out the money.

The people in the capital are very curious, isn't Lingnan a poor place, why are these An Wangwei so rich?

King An dug a gold mountain in Lingnan?

Wang Erhai is a soldier of An Wangwei. At this time, he and two Weili brothers are shopping in the most prosperous West Market in the capital.

The hands of the three of them were already carrying a pile of goods in large and small bags.

These things are to be brought back to Lingnan to give to family members and brothers who stayed behind.

The three were in a jewelry store choosing accessories for their wife or sister at home.

The owner of this shop is a man in his 40s named Du Chen. He is a well-known businessman in the capital.

At this time, he came up to talk and said: "As far as I know, there are many mountains in Lingnan Prefecture, and the people are very poor."

"Five years ago, when I passed through Lingnan to buy mountain goods, I could still see jungle tribes in naked clothes. I don't know why the military lords are so generous? Can you tell the old man conveniently?"

With the keenness of a businessman, Du Chen sensed whether something extraordinary happened in Lingnan Mansion.

Any change in things means an opportunity for the businessman, so I tried to talk to him.

Wang Erhai said with a simple and honest face: "It's all thanks to my prince."

"Oh? Your Highness King An?" Seeing Wang Erhai's expression of admiration when he mentioned Li Su, Du Chen faintly felt that he had discovered some great secret.

"My prince came to the fief three years ago and took us to open up wasteland to plant food, open mines, and open workshops. Now everyone in our Lingnan Mansion has clothes and can eat several meals of meat every month."

"I, Wang Erhai, was originally a hunter in the village. I couldn't eat enough to eat. When I heard that An Wangwei was recruiting soldiers, I wanted to give it a try." Wang Erhai recalled.

"After entering Anwangwei, the lord asked Mr. to teach us to read and write, and the monthly salary he gave us has increased from the initial two taels to the current 20 taels of silver. We can't even imagine our current life!" Two colleagues around Wang Erhai added.

"Could it be that Lingnan is developing so fast? If what they say is true, isn't it?" Du Chen thought quickly.

For businessmen, where there is consumption power, it is their paradise.

The roads in Lingnan Mansion have just been opened, and there are still very few connections with the outside world. Once news of Lingnan Mansion spreads, a large market will inevitably attract a large group of businessmen.

The sooner you go there, the greater the benefits will be shared. Du Chen had some ideas.

Chapter 7 New Year's Banquet

Similar scenes happened in every corner of the West City of the capital.

It attracted many interested people and began to send people to Lingnan to inquire about the news.

Business opportunities are fleeting, and no one will be tempted after learning that there is an untapped market with huge consumption power in the southwest of Daqian.

In fact, these high-profile consumptions by An Wangwei in the capital were all inspired by Li Su.

After three years of development, the markets of Lingnan Prefecture and several neighboring countries have become almost saturated, and all kinds of products produced in Lingnan need to open up new markets for sale.

So Li Su set his sights on the most prosperous capital in Daqian.

This is the city with the largest population and consumption power in the Dagan Empire, and it is also the political and economic center of the empire.

As long as the trade route between Lingnan Mansion and the capital is opened up, it will be logical to quickly push Lingnan's products to the whole country.

The merchants in the capital were eyeing the huge consumer market in Lingnan, while Li Su was eyeing the unparalleled liquidity of the merchants in the capital.

Li Su has been chatting with his biological mother Concubine Liu in the harem for the past few days.

Not seeing each other for three years, Concubine Liu seemed to have countless things to say to Li Su. Concubine Liu was naturally very happy with Li Su's performance in saving the city this time.

Li Su also quietly listened to his mother's ramblings, interjecting a few sentences from time to time, which made Concubine Liu laugh again and again.

Ever since she traveled to this strange world, Concubine Liu was the only one who made Li Su feel at home.

Three years ago, Li Su was granted the title of King An and rushed to the fiefdom. Concubine Liu secretly gave him 5000 taels of private money, of which 4000 taels were borrowed by Concubine Liu from her natal family, which was Li Su's grandfather's family, the Mu family.

Therefore, Li Su really regarded Concubine Liu as his relative.

As for Emperor Qian, his biological father, Li Su's attitude is: a little affection, but not much.

Apart from accompanying Concubine Liu, Li Su was also summoned by Emperor Qian several times, just to get some words out, but was fooled by Li Su's gags.

Emperor Qian was not in a hurry, anyway, he had already sent people to Lingnan, so he would know what he should know after a while.

As for the invitations of those ministers in the court who wanted to get married with him, Li Su pushed it as he could. Apart from visiting his grandfather's family, he rarely had contact with outsiders.

Just ten days after the Tatars retreated, a team of thousands of people dressed like An Wangwei came to An Wangwei's camp at the foot of the capital city.

This is a team specially escorted to Emperor Qian's annual ceremony, led by Li Su's Wang Fu Liulin.

Because it was slow to move with goods, Li Su brought 1000 people to the capital first.

If he came to Beijing with the goods leisurely at that time, he probably missed the best time to repel the Tatars. Otherwise, the capital might have been broken by then.

A transport team of thousands of people was pulling dozens of carts of goods. Judging from the rut marks, the things inside must be heavy.

Naturally, Emperor Qian couldn't hide this matter from him, and he couldn't help but feel very happy when he learned that Li Su had such a huge team delivering annual gifts to him.

"Su'er is still filial. I don't know how much the annual gift is worth. My internal treasury is really empty."

Emperor Qian thought happily.

With the passage of time, one month passed quickly, and envoys from various feudal lords and affiliated countries have arrived in the capital one after another.

Dagan's New Year Banquet will be held as scheduled.

It was night, the Xiande Hall of the Dagan Palace was brightly lit, and the ladies and eunuchs who came and went shuttled around the hall with plates of delicious food and wine.

The patriarchs, nobles, and civil and military officials of the fifth rank and above in Daqian waited for the banquet to start according to their respective seats.

As the sixth prince of Daqian, King An, Li Su naturally ranked first, and his five elder brothers were in front of him.

Soon, after the eunuch's "Your Majesty has arrived", Emperor Qian was wearing a five-clawed golden dragon robe, walking like a dragon and walking like a tiger, and brought the high-grade concubine from the harem to arrive late.

Everyone paid homage, and all parties sat down again.

For a while, there was a lot of toasting and singing, singing and dancing.

Then came the link where all parties gave blessings and gifts to Emperor Qian.

Prince Li Yan came out and bowed to Emperor Qian: "Father, my sons wish the father a prosperous sun and moon, Songhe and Changchun, long live long live long live!"

"My son specially sent people to find a glazed statue of Sakyamuni from overseas, and asked Master Yuantong of Jinlong Temple to consecrate it, to bless my father and emperor with good fortune and longevity, and to bless me with good weather and good weather, and my country will last for thousands of years."

After speaking, two eunuchs carried a red sandalwood box into the hall.

With the opening of the wooden box, there is a transparent glazed Buddha statue with a solemn treasure appearance and a height of nearly half a meter. It is expensive at first glance.

Emperor Qian's biological mother believed in Buddhism, and there was a Nianfo nunnery specially built for her in the harem.

Although Emperor Qian did not believe in these things, influenced by his birth mother, he also had a lot of respect for Buddhism.

Dagan does not produce colored glaze. Emperor Qian once obtained a glazed cup brought by a merchant from the Western Regions. It was only one foot high and the color was slightly variegated. Emperor Qian regarded it as a treasure.
