"Goguryeo has gone to dozens of dignitaries and noble families. In order to develop their city, those noble families and dignitaries will naturally desperately transport some utensils, salt, glass and other objects from the Tang Dynasty to Goguryeo."

"Hmph, they are all white-eyed wolves!"

Cheng Chusi said in disdain.

Li Chongyi and Changsun Chong on the side just wanted to nod their heads in agreement.

"Tsk!"

Li Xuan sneered directly, "Your Cheng family doesn't have a city in Goguryeo? Or are there no ships of your Cheng family among these ships?"

"Forehead!"

Cheng Chusi was embarrassed.

"However, on Goguryeo, there are also many items that I don't have in Tang Dynasty, especially iron ore, and some medicinal materials, which can also be transported back to Tang Dynasty. This can be regarded as making up for the shortcomings of Tang Dynasty!" Li Xuanqing laughed.

"Moreover, the people in the coastal cities of Qingzhou and Dengzhou can also make more money because of these caravans." Li Chengqian also said.

"Exactly!"

Li Xuan glanced at Li Chengqian appreciatively.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and the others subconsciously stared at a large ship passing by.

"Third Uncle, are those all..."

Li Chengqian said with some doubts.

"It should be a Goguryeo slave girl!"

Li Xuan sighed lightly and nodded in recognition.

"Hey, Gao Ming, don't you know that now in Chang'an, most of the rich and powerful's families have raised Goguryeo female slaves, and then there are Japanese female slaves, and there are also Silla female slaves and Baekje female slaves?"

Cheng Chusi grinned and said with a smug smile.

"So your Cheng family must have raised a lot?"

Li Xuan couldn't help but glared at Cheng Chusi.

Cheng Chusi was stunned, and quickly sneered and said: "Master, my Cheng family is also a Duke's mansion after all, and it is raised by other rich and powerful mansions, so it would be inappropriate for my Cheng family not to raise it.

Moreover, these female slaves are not expensive, so I keep some, but these female slaves are obedient and easy to order..."

"Rough goods..."

Li Xuan glared at him, but didn't continue talking to this guy.

Raising female slaves is what the rich and powerful in the Tang Dynasty like to do most, and he can't control it.

However, raising female slaves from other countries is better than ruining Datang.

"Aye, what is a slave girl? Why doesn't our family have one?"

Suddenly, Li Chenglu, who was looking at it for a long time with clairvoyance, asked curiously.

Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and the others were all taken aback for a moment, and then smirked.

However, Li Xuan and Li Yuan were on the sidelines, and they didn't dare to say anything more.

"Slaves are servants who specialize in carrying shit and urine for them, but they are all women."

Li Xuan said casually.

"Then why are these elder brothers raised at home, but not in our family?"

Li Chenglu asked again.

"That's because they are extremely lazy, or there are people with disabilities in their family who need someone to stand by and take care of them all the time." Li Xuan replied.

"It turns out that even the old housekeeper in our house is very agile, and we don't need others to take care of us all the time!"

Li Chenglu said seriously.

"Exactly!"

Li Xuan nodded.

"Aye, when you get old, do you need a female slave?"

Li Chenglu thought for a while and asked again.

"Aye no!"

Li Xuan said, "The servants in the house can take good care of Aye!"

"Oh……"

Li Chenglu nodded slightly, "But why do they have to raise female slaves? Could it be that there are no servants in their house?"

"Because they have vanity!"

"Aye, what is vanity?"

"It's a kind of boring comparison mentality. They are empty in their hearts, and they start to compare each other before they have other goals. What others have, they also want to have, and what they want, in fact, everyone can do it.

However, what they really can't get, they dare not compare with any of them!

For example, our Lijiazhuang..."

……

After the conversation on the boat that day, Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and the others all blushed.

At the same time, I no longer dare to discuss things that children cannot know in front of Li Chenglu.

So, three days later.

Li Xuan's fleet arrived at Yashan Harbor.

At this time, Yashan Harbor has already changed a lot, and it is more than ten times larger than the harbor when Li Xuan captured it.

Correspondingly, it has become more prosperous countless times, and there are ships full of goods sailing out of the harbor all the time.

"The last general, Yashan Harbor Navy Captain Shi Bohua, who is that noble person?"

When Li Xuan's fleet was tens of miles away from Yashan Harbor, some soldiers had already reported to Shi Bohua.

And Shi Bohua hurriedly led a group of generals to greet him at the harbor.

Shi Bohua didn't have any doubts about the valuable identity of the visitor.

Three steel giant ships are enough to prove that the person who comes must be a big shot!

Because none of their kings has a giant steel ship.

"My king, Li Xuanba, where is Li Yuanjing now?"

"The last general, Shi Bohua, has met His Royal Highness Prince Jin, and met all the gentlemen!"

Hearing that the person who came was actually King Jin, Shi Bohua's eyes widened, his heart was filled with excitement, and he hurriedly led all his subordinates to salute.

As for Li Yuan, Li Chengqian and others at the side, Li Xuan did not introduce them.

And Shi Bohua and the others don't know what kind of noble group they are facing.

However, just one King Jin is enough for them to serve as their ancestors.

"His Royal Highness King Jin forgives the sin. Your Majesty does not know that King Jin is coming, and he is still in Pyongyang at this moment."

"It's okay!"

Li Xuanwen chuckled softly, "You're ready to get on ten carriages, I just go directly to Pyongyang City to find Yuanjing!"

"Yes, His Royal Highness King Jin!"

Shi Bohua hurriedly bowed his hands in a solemn answer, and then ordered the subordinates behind him.

Chapter 807 Status of Pyongyang City

Soon, more than a dozen carriages arrived at the harbor.

Li Xuan, Li Yuan and others got into the carriage again, and under the personal escort of Shi Bohua, they headed for Pyongyang City.

However, during this period, Shi Bohua had already sent his cronies to Pyongyang City to report to Li Yuanjing.

At this time of year, the weather has begun to heat up.

Along the way, Li Yuan opened the car window and kept looking out.

Yashan Seaport is less than a hundred miles away from Pyongyang City.

Therefore, in the afternoon.

The tall city wall of Pyongyang City is already in sight.

Li Yuanjing, on the other hand, brought a group of ministers and waited under the city of Pyongyang early.

"Your Majesty, Captain Shi is right ahead, and His Royal Highness King Jin is here!"

A personal guard reported to Li Yuanjing.

Li Yuanjing and all his subordinates walked forward quickly after their spirits sank.

"Yuanjing welcomes Brother Three!"

When the convoy stopped, Li Yuanjing cupped his hands and saluted.

Then, he looked into the convoy.

However, before Li Xuan in the carriage could reply, he saw a person who surprised him, riding out from behind on a horse.

"Chengqian met Uncle Liu Wang!"

"Gao... Gao Ming?"

Li Yuanjing's face changed drastically.

"Gao Ming, why are you here?"

Hearing this, the faces of the officials behind him also changed drastically.

Especially Shi Bohua at the side, he never thought that the young gentleman who had been riding behind him all the way turned out to be His Royal Highness the current Crown Prince!

"Don't be alarmed, Uncle Six, Chengqian is visiting the Tang Dynasty on behalf of his father this time."

"I see!"

Hearing this, Li Yuanjing's expression softened.

However, I still had some doubts in my heart, so I didn't ask.

"Chenglu met Uncle Liu Wang!"

"Li Chongyi, Cheng Chusi...have met His Royal Highness King Zhao!"

Li Chenglu and Li Chongyi also bowed to Li Yuanjing.

"Chenglu?"

Seeing Li Chenglu, Li Yuanjing stared, as if thinking of something, but didn't dare to confirm it.

"There is no doubt about Yuan Jing, Cheng Lu was brought by me!"

Li Xuan, who got off the carriage, smiled lightly.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect Chenglu to be so big, and he can already ride a horse by himself!"
