Li Shimin's will: Li Zhi, the throne belongs to your brother

Let the whole Tang Dynasty congratulate you and others! ! "

After Li Tai finished speaking, he threw his head up and threw the bowl on the ground.

"The minister will return with good news."

The crowd shouted in unison, and the voice reverberated for a long time.

After finishing speaking, he raised his head and did it violently, and then threw the bowls one after another, and there was a sound of "cracking" broken bowls on the ground.

"Okay~ Get on the horse!! This king will send you off!!"

Everyone filed out, attracting passers-by to point and point.

The leader, Li Tai, was riding a Huoyun horse, a maroon horse with white hooves.

When the wind blows, the red mane flutters like flames in the wind.

Passers-by saw it and praised, "It's so powerful."

Soon, Li Tai led everyone to bring Weihe, and everyone dismounted.

Li Tai got off his horse and said to the crowd: "There will be a farewell to seeing you off for thousands of miles, everyone, take care!"

Everyone saluted Li Tai: "Your Highness is benevolent, please stop."

Li Tai looked around, nodded slightly, and then slowly led the horse back.

"Hey~" I just woke up after sleeping all morning, and I drank another three bowls of wine, and I didn't feel anything right away, but now the stamina is coming, and I started to have a headache...

After drinking, he is really heroic, but when he is drunk, he is really embarrassed...

"Hurry up and support me..."

Soon, Li Tai was helped back to the room by the guards.

"This blue sparrow... like me, likes to show off..." Li Shimin smiled heartily when he heard the news.

Then, I looked at the list and got a headache.

Wang Fangyi went to be the governor of Jinling, and he needed an explanation for his promotion to such a high official.

Moreover, Yan Liben is still the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, so this position cannot be vacant.

The others are fine, they are all petty officials.

Li Shimin thought about it for a long time, but he simply gave up thinking about it, and just fooled it like this...

It's not the first time it's been done, anyway.

In the year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin paid attention to Wenzhi and martial arts, and many generals were sent to various places to guard.

Fortunately, everyone is used to it.

Chapter 70 Glass and Invasion

After hearing the news, many families speculated for a long time, and they didn't know what happened to Li Shimin's sudden dispatch.

After the performance, Li Shimin did not give any explanation.

After procrastinating for a while, it was over.

They are very busy now, because it is already November.

Chang'an began to become more lively.

Every first month, there will be three major events will happen.

One is the year-end summary. Officials from all over the country have to report their own situation in each place, and more messengers come to Chang'an.

The second is the imperial examination, which is usually registered after the autumn harvest, and the examination is held around the first month.

This time will not delay the autumn harvest, if the high school can still take the horse and go back to honor the ancestors.

Therefore, more and more students came to Chang'an.

The third is that all nations came to the court. According to the "Tang Liudian", there were more than [-] countries paying tribute to the Tang Empire, and there were more than [-] surviving people in the Tang Xuanzong period.

It is now November, and many countries have sent envoys to and from the Tang Dynasty.

Accompanying their arrival are caravans from various countries.

Smart businessmen set off early in order to arrive early.

Therefore, foreign businessmen have begun to appear in the market.

Taking advantage of the sunny weather, Li Tai finally didn't have to guard the blast furnace, and accompanied Yan Wan to visit the market for a rare occasion.

"Kunlun Slave~ A strong Kunlun Slave."

"BMW, the best sweat BMW..."

"Pepper, fragrant pepper..."

Li Tai glanced over and came to the stall of the pepper seller, pointing to the beautifully packaged box and asked, "How do you sell the pepper?"

"Two taels of gold, one tael of pepper!" the businessman said in fluent Chinese.

"Too expensive..." Li Tai shook his head, and directly pulled Yan Wan away.

Zanthoxylum bungeanum is a native plant in China, but pepper was introduced from the Western Regions by Tang Seng.

Now that Tang Seng has not returned, the pepper can only be transported by merchants.

Because it can be used as a seasoning, and because rare things are more expensive, this thing is more expensive than gold.

Pepper is not only loved by Chinese people, it is even used as a currency in Europe, and the extremely wealthy people only have pepper bags... If they don't have one, they are the lower class.

Li Tai thought that it might be possible to plant these things on a large scale and anti-dump them.

"Don't go, sell cheap, sell cheap." The businessman quickly stopped Li Tai.

Li Tai, on the other hand, continued to walk forward without looking back.

"Silla servant, beautiful Silla servant~. My lord, come and see this Silla servant.

It doesn't matter if you don't like it, there are Bodhisattvas here. "

In fact, Chang'an is not only a place for paying tribute, but also a market for personal population transactions.

There are three most common things, Kunlun slaves, Bodhisattvas, and Silla maids

Kunlun slaves, black-skinned, from Southeast Asia or Africa.

Bodhisattva Man, originally a piece of music, later refers to beautiful women of ethnic minorities.

Silla maidservant, good at singing and dancing, good looking, a native of Silla (Bangzi).

It is worth mentioning that Silla is very poor, and the only thing that can be sold every year is beautiful Silla maids.

This special product is so popular that many pirates go up to snatch people directly.

In the Tang Dynasty, many coastal areas were full of Silla maidservants.

This person is obviously very intelligent, selling Silla maids and Bodhisattvas together.

They are very beautiful, but not as good as Wu Meiniang and Yan Wan.

The reason why he stopped was because Li Tai saw Bodhisattva's clothes.

The color doesn't seem to be dyed, the material, its fineness, and the folds.

Li Tai guessed that it was not sackcloth but cotton.

Printed cotton cloth made in India during the Western Han Dynasty, with white patterns on the blue ground, and a Bodhisattva statue on the lower left of the cotton cloth.

During the Han Dynasty, the word "mian" was often used, and it was not until the Song and Yuan Dynasties that large-scale planting and promotion began.

It was introduced to the Central Plains mainly through the "Northwest Silk Road" and "Southwest Silk Road".

At this time, it was Gaochang (Turpan, Xinjiang) that was beaten down to grow cotton.

Cotton is called kapok, and the cloth woven into it is also called Baidiezi.

In the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, it was regarded as a tax, comparable to currency.

If Li Tai guessed correctly, this Bodhisattva should be from Gaochang.

This group of people may have robbed Gaochang people, or they may have bought them.

Seeing that Li Tai and Yan Wan had stopped, the man hurried forward and spoke to Li Tai.

"My lord, look, this beauty is all the best.

They are all sold at a low price, buy a Silla maidservant, send a Bodhisattva Man, make a couple, and guarantee that you will enjoy the blessings of everyone. "

Buy one get one free is really a business...

Li Tai asked with a smile: "Is Datang's talk very powerful? How much is it?"

"50 taels of silver, you can take it away as soon as you see it."

The businessman quickly opened the cage obsequiously, and pulled the two of them in front of Li Tai.

Li Tai glanced at the other party, the material of the clothes was fine and dense, and there were many wrinkles.

This sentence is right about cotton. If you encounter this thing, you must buy it first and then talk about it.

"How many people are you on this trip?"

"A total of 200 people have been brought!" The businessman looked at Li Tai with some puzzlement.

"I want them all, and you'll send them to Prince Wei's mansion later!"

As soon as Li Tai finished speaking, he realized that Yan Wan hugged him even tighter.

Looking down, Yan Wan was thinking with her head down.

"Thank you, Your Highness." The businessman immediately smiled and saluted Li Tai.

I thought this trip was going to be in vain, because the Tang Dynasty regarded abundance as beauty, and this group of Bodhisattvas lost weight due to hunger along the way...

The poor think it is expensive, and the rich think it is not beautiful, so that the business is not good. Unexpectedly, it was sold all at once.

"Husband... why did you buy so many Silla people?" Yan Wan couldn't help asking.

"Why are you jealous?" Li Tai asked with a smile on his face.

"No... it's just that two hundred slaves... I'm afraid my husband's body won't be able to bear it..."

Although Yan Wan didn't say anything, the word jealous was written all over her face.

"Hahaha, don't worry, this king is not that kind of person, and I will talk to Wan'er about it when the time comes."

Yan Wan was a little sullen: "..."

“kebabs, authentic kebabs...”

Li Tai's eyes lit up, and he quickly said to the merchant, "Give me a hundred skewers."

This kebab appeared very early. In the "Portrait of the Han Dynasty", there are stone images of kebabs, and a fan for kebabs was also unearthed in Mawangdui.

"Okay." The businessman put the meat skewers directly on the charcoal fire and fanned them with a fan.

"Don't be jealous, my husband will give you lamb skewers..."

Yan Wan looked at it speechlessly: "..."

"Your meat skewers are ready." The businessman handed over the meat skewers that had been tested in a paper package.

The servant beside him hurriedly stepped forward to pay and took it.

Li Tai took out one of them, took Yan Wan's hand, put it in her hand and said.

"Come on, eat a meat skewer to be happier, and give me a smile?"

Yan Wan forced a smile and took the mutton skewers.

"Smile, ten years old." Li Tai also took a bunch and tasted it.

There is no chili... I am reluctant to put salt, and it has a bit of a smell, and the taste is a bit greasy, which is not very delicious.

"It's tasteless..." Li Tai frowned and looked at the man and asked, "Where is this mutton?"

"This is an authentic Turkic sheep, take a look if you don't believe me."

The man pointed directly at the half sheep left and said.
