People's hearts are always towards prosperity, where they are rich, they want to live wherever they want, no one wants to go to a poor place to live, and this will not change for another 10,000 years.

Of course, everyone yearns for wealth, but what they hope more is that they can be rich, and if others are richer than themselves, they will not be satisfied, and they will have hatred for the rich.

There is a good story about the day God wants to grant a man's wish, but at the same time he gives his neighbor double his wish, so the man cruelly asks God to blind him in one eye, so that his neighbor will be blind.

This story also illustrates the situation that people's happiness is comparative, and only through comparison, especially with those around them, can a person have a clearer understanding of his or her position and get the corresponding feelings.

If the people around you are richer than you, then this person living in this group will inevitably have a depressed feeling, and will feel that he is inferior to others in all aspects, so that he will have a hatred for the rich, and he will look at the rich unpleasantly, and feel that the rich should not have so much wealth.

And if a person lives in a poor area, then this person will have a sense of superiority, that is, the so-called superiority, feel that he is very good, better than others, and his mood will become very good.

For example, a person will be jealous that his neighbor is richer than himself, but he will never be jealous of a foreigner he does not know at all, because the foreigner is too far away to have contact with him at all, and his neighbor does not look up and look down, so he can only compete with his neighbor, not with a foreigner from afar.

Comparison, can only be compared with the people around him, and Qiu Fu also comes from familiarity, because he is too familiar and too understanding, so, a person's talent has a few pounds and a few taels, and the people around him know that if one day this person is developed, others will think that he has taken shit luck, and there will always be too much unhappiness in his heart.

For example, an old farmer in later generations learned some skills, and usually relied on opening a show for ordinary businessmen, charging a meager remuneration, and living a life no different from his neighbors, but for some reason, this person suddenly became popular through a certain platform, so that the people of the whole country could see it, so that a large group of people would come to tout, and this person's income would quickly expand to hundreds of times, thousands of times, or even tens of thousands of times.

There is no change in his skills, just because he got a platform to show himself, so his income suddenly increased thousands of times, how could the neighbors around him not be blushing, how could he not think that he had taken shit luck.

And people from afar, this sense of jealousy is not so strong, because people from afar don't understand the situation, they will think that this person has been working hard, and then became a talent, that is, the ten years of hardship, or a minute on the stage, ten years of work off the stage, it is years of hard practice that have created the final success, and will mythologize this person.

Therefore, in ancient times, after an ordinary person became an emperor, he would kill some hometown people who knew him well, because only these people knew him best, and it was easy to ruin his reputation, which would make an emperor lose his majesty, and even more would pick up the emperor's previous troubles.

Only when people are more mysterious can they be more awe-inspiring and make people have an unfathomable feeling, so that a string of beads will hang down in front of the emperor's eyes, so that the ministers can't see his expression clearly, and some big brothers in the underworld will also choose to wear sunglasses, so that where his eyes look, others can't find it.

The country of Bolu has been closed for many years, most of the wealth is concentrated in the hands of the royal family, the wealth in the hands of the common people is very small, but it is very average, almost all the people's wealth is equal, which is very good, it will increase people's happiness.

However, if the Tang Dynasty merchants poured into the Bolu country on a large scale, and promoted the commercial development of the Bolu country, as well as large-scale mining, the gap between the rich and the poor would appear, and with the influx of merchants from the Tang Empire, the simple people of the Bolu country would have more contact with the outside world, so they would like to go out to see, see the outside world of flowers, and increase their knowledge, and once they came into contact with the outside world, they would be dissatisfied with the court of the Bolu country, and even, the phenomenon of large-scale immigration.

In terms of attracting the common people, the country of Bolu does not have much advantage, there may have been some before, but now it is definitely not, because the current Datang is very strong and stable, and the countries along the way will also be controlled by the Datang, the world is already peaceful, and the refuge characteristics of the country of Bolu are no longer the slightest attraction.

The wealthy Datang has countless delicacies, gorgeous clothes, beautiful poems, and countless industrial supplies, all of which are not available in the country of Bolu.

Once the people of the Bolu country fall in love with these, they will yearn for the life of the Tang Dynasty, so as to leave this poor and backward country and return to their ancestral homeland, so that the royal family of the Bolu country will not be finished, without the support of the people, what is the meaning of being a king.

Li An naturally heard the worry of Li Xiaoyao, the king of Bolu, and a faint smile on the corner of his mouth explained: "Brother Li, as the saying goes, you can't contain fire in paper, as the Tang Dynasty opens up the Maritime Silk Road, more and more fresh objects will enter the Bolu country, which no one can stop, because the people need it very much, these things can facilitate the lives of the people, so that even if you send troops to the main road, there will be people who take risks, and the people of the Bolu country will still understand the outside world." ”

"What the virtuous brother said makes sense, the Yellow River can only be channeled, not blocked! But my Bolu country is located in a remote area, the materials are not sufficient, and there is nothing valuable, how can it be compared with the Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Xiaoyao said.

Li An waved his hand and said: "That's not necessarily, the country of Bolu also has a lot of territory, don't explore, how can you know that there is nothing valuable, just this large area of forests, is a lot of wealth, and there will definitely be no shortage of minerals, the Tang Dynasty will enter the country of Bolu, it will definitely bring benefits to your country, and it will not let you suffer, when the time comes, after the efforts of the merchants of the Tang Dynasty, the country of Bolu will be many times richer than now, and the life of the common people will be better, and they will not always think about leaving." ”

Although Li An has painted a beautiful blueprint for the country of Bolu, King Li Xiaoyao feels that this is just an ideal situation, or rather, he is more reluctant to take risks, because, after the country is opened, the country will be full of uncertainties, it is possible that everything will develop in a good direction, but it is also possible to develop in a not so good direction, and Li Xiaoyao is now a king, and his small life is very good, so he doesn't want to take risks, he doesn't want to wade into this troubled water, he prefers to lie in the position of the king, Comfortably enslaved more than 10,000 people under his rule, so his heart was a little repulsive to Datang, and he didn't want Datang to interfere too much in the life of Bolu Kingdom, but he also knew his own strength, if he offended Datang, a powerful enemy, the consequences would be very serious, serious and unimaginable.

Therefore, his heart is also very conflicted, he wants to continue to live a paradise-like life, and at the same time, he is afraid that he will be retaliated against if he does not cooperate with the Tang Empire, and the anxiety in his heart can be imagined.

"Forget it, Brother Xian has just come to our country, let's have a good time first, don't talk about these annoying state affairs, let's go, let's go to the palace first."

Li Xiaoyao feels that it is better to win over the feelings first, as long as the feelings are good, many things can still be discussed, even if he can't prevent the Tang forces from entering the Bolu country in the end, he can also understand the purpose of the Tang Dynasty, as well as the most likely consequences, and the most likely consequences, that is, once there is a problem in the Bolu country, whether the Tang Dynasty is willing to help him, and follow the Tang Empire, what kind of benefits can be gained, and how much benefits will be lost.

Li Ang has drifted all the way on the sea, and it is time to have a good leisure and leisure, looking at the good mountains and rivers of Bolu country, life will inevitably be very beautiful.

Before leaving, Li An had not forgotten the vegetables he had taken care of, and asked the soldiers who stayed behind on the boat to take good care of these vegetables and not let them be pickled to death.

The scale of the Bolu Kingdom is very small, so the scale of the royal palace is not large, and the scale is smaller than the previous kingdoms, but the scenery is very good, and people live in it very comfortably, which can be regarded as a paradise.

Living in this kind of place, people's mood will definitely be very good, no wonder the king's name is Li Xiaoyao, living is really called a Xiaoyao, so comfortable, so that I don't want to change in the slightest.

"The taste of wine, the aroma of food, and the beauties in the yard, Brother Li will really enjoy it! Although the palace here is not big, Brother Li is no worse than the Tang Emperor! ”

After Li An entered the palace, he showed a look of envy.

Seeing that Li An's eyes were full of affection, Li Xiaoyao felt that it was a good sign, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said politely: "Since Brother Xian likes it here, just stay a few more days, everything here, Brother Xian can enjoy it casually, just treat it as his own." ”

Li An's head was slightly happy, and he said: "This is true, I can enjoy everything here." ”

After speaking, looking at the beauties in front of him, although the few days at sea, Ang Lee had worked hard enough, but when he met a beauty who had never seen a style, Ang Lee would inevitably feel emotional.

"Seriously, as if this palace were your own, haha!"

In order to curry favor with Ang Lee, Li Xiaoyao has invested a lot of money, what is the difference between this and changing hands.

Of course, Li An will not be polite, and nodded and said: "Okay, since Brother Li is so enthusiastic, the younger brother is not welcome, let a few of them serve tonight!" ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the most beautiful women in front of him, and said drunkly.

"Okay, no problem, the dinner will be ready soon, Brother Xian will rest for half an hour first, and we'll see you at the dinner."

Li Xiaoyao was tired from waiting for a long time, and he also needed to take a rest.

The dinner was prepared quite richly, there were dozens of large and small plates, so many dishes would definitely not be eaten, it would be good to be able to eat a tenth of it, and the leftover scraps would not be wasted, because these were the main foods of the inferior people.

Therefore, everyone wants to be a superior person, the reason is that a superior person can have all the best things, can have the most beautiful women, can eat the most delicious ingredients, and can squander as much as he wants, and can do whatever he wants, while as an inferior person, he is more miserable, he wants nothing, even when he eats, he can only eat the leftovers that others eat.

Fortunately, Ang Lee is a superior person, and what he has is the best, and he doesn't have to eat the leftovers eaten by others, it's hard to imagine how guilty it is for an inferior person to live.

In addition to the food, of course, there are a lot of entertainment activities at the banquet, singing and dancing are the most basic, but there is not much novelty, it is just a beautiful dance, and because these people are Tang immigrants, the dance style is very similar to the style of the Tang dancers, and there is nothing to see, and Ang Lee is not very interested.

It is still very happy to take a walk in the beautiful palace after eating and drinking, and, for some reason, all the palace maids seem to be very happy, and there is no restraint at all, and there is laughter and laughter everywhere, which makes people very happy in it.

This is naturally because King Li Xiaoyao treats the palace people more leniently, even if these people make mistakes, they will not be severely punished, and they will be given a chance to make amends, so these palace maids can get a more relaxed living environment, and then they can play in the palace without any scruples, adding a beautiful sound to the beautiful palace.

Listening to the pleasant sound of frolic, Ang Lee's mood was very wonderful, and the whole person was a little floating, and he involuntarily walked over, wanting to hear what these cute little ladies were talking about.

After retreating, Ang Lee walked alone to the back of a rockery and started eavesdropping.

"Sisters, have you ever met the new Datang officials, I heard that several of our sisters have been taken by him, and we are going to serve him tonight?"

"Oh, I've heard about it too, I wonder which sisters he picked?"

"Of course, they are the most beautiful, by the way, I heard that this high-ranking official of the Tang Dynasty is not bad, suave, Yushu is in the wind, he is a rare beautiful man."

"Really! Is it more handsome than our king? ”

"Oh, there is a more handsome man in the world than our king? Then I'd like to see it. ”

"It's a pity, we didn't let a few of us serve for dinner tonight, otherwise, we can also catch a glimpse of the Fengyi of this high-ranking official of the Tang Dynasty, hehehe!"

"Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee......"

A large group of palace maids talked about Ang Lee together, and they all seemed to want to see Ang Lee, so the main purpose was naturally curiosity.

"Are you guys talking about me?"

Li An strode out from behind the rockery.
