Since Mahdi said that the prince would participate, he was obviously already on his way, and even currently in Chang'an City.

But this matter cannot be inquired, Li Xian's identity is not what it used to be, and the government of the acting monarch has surpassed the meaning of the prince himself, and his itinerary has since become a state secret.

"The Abdul family sent two ocean-going ships with the dowry, which were docked in Luoyang before, and now in Qiantang, Hangzhou, should we let them sail directly to Guangzhou?" Kiyoki asked.

"How did you get there? Mahdi's envoy traveled by land? Li Zhi said strangely.

Qingqi explained in a low voice:

"They did come by carriage from Luoyang, and the ocean-going ship went south to Hangzhou City along the Grand Canal on their own, and there is no waterway in Chang'an City that can accommodate those two big guys!"

Li Zhi asked Hisham beside him.

Hisham laughed:

"The idea of the Tang royal family is that two ocean-going ships need at least 400 boatmen, and they say that it is suitable to go to the south to hire them, at least in terms of water nature is much better than that of the northerners. So Mr. Envoy intended to let them go all the way south, choosing the best boatmen along the way. ”

Li Zhi suddenly realized: "This is a good way!" ”

For seafarers, proficiency in water is undoubtedly the most basic requirement.

In the vast sea, anything can happen, and only water is the best way to save life.

"I heard Her Royal Highness the princess talk about Shengjing Zero, are they sequenced as No. 1 and No. 2?" Hisham answered.

Li Zhi nodded, "The Shengjing Zero is actually only a temporary replacement ship, and it is not in the sequence, the honorable salute ship from the empire, of course, must be in the most conspicuous position!" ”

"Which of them is also bigger than the Shengjing Zero, specially made for the European powers, in terms of technical level and actual handling, it is not inferior to the Datang sailing ships of the same era!"

"The empire is as powerful as the Tang Dynasty, and the quality of ocean-going ships will naturally not be bad."

"But I know that it has a great impact on Datang Shipbuilding, and many advanced processes are beyond the current level of technology, and this time I hope that Shengjing Zero can also accompany the westward journey across the sea, so that we can also see its true strength!"

"The Shengjing Zero has not actually undergone many major changes, the main frame of the ship is still in the Nordic style, and the slight changes are covered by the deck, and whether it can withstand the wind and waves is still being tested."

Li Zhi is not stupid, the Arab Empire is powerful in the military, and its technological advantage is due to the lack of financial resources and heritage, and it does not have much shipbuilding strength.

They had already seen the various advanced technological talents possessed by Li Zhi, so they planned to learn some unique features through Shengjing Zero.

In fact, he was right, the Shengjing Zero did not make too many important changes, and it did need a voyage to verify the quality.

Hisham didn't understand this, and the implication was that he wanted Li Zhi to help him with future ship technology.

Seeing that Li Zhi did not make a clear response, he simply said bluntly: "How long will it take for the new ship that Mr. Li is currently building to enter the sea?" If the quality is good, can you make a few for us? ”

Starting with rice paper and gunpowder, and then Li Yi's mysterious and powerful skills, he is already a magical figure in the eyes of some people in the Western Regions.

Coupled with the veil of ancient Eastern religions, they have always believed in religious beliefs.

even thinks that Li Zhi has received some kind of holy power blessing.

Therefore, these people are convinced that Li Zhi's series of methods, which are far beyond today's understanding, come from a more mysterious unknown world.

Just like the rumored Eastern Earth Cultivation Realm, through the propaganda of Nasir and Ah Ming's return, and the emperor's envoy Mahdi, who had seen Li Zhi's Qiankun bag with his own eyes, made the legend about him spread in a very small area of the empire.

Li Zhi said with a smile: "At most, the new ship can be launched in two months, and the next ocean trip will be Shengjing No. 3 and No. 4, and when it arrives at the Imperial Port, you can arrange for someone to go on board to investigate, or even send someone to follow you all the way, you can know their actual performance!" ”

Since he is not seeking advanced technology, Li Zhi is of course happy to customize for them.

Gold is not the only payment terms for such huge cross-border transactions, but it is also one of the most important ways.

Whether it is gold or minerals, it is urgently needed by Datang, and there is no debt in this transaction.

After getting Li Zhi's promise, Hisham was very interested and immediately changed the topic:

"This time, there are more than 20 female guests in the clan who came by the emperor's holy order, and today they were frightened by Her Royal Highness the Princess's generosity!"

Li Yi was stunned, and Afifa beside him explained: "They are all my aunts and cousins, and my sisters and I took some gold, silver and jewelry and arranged a set for each of them!" ”

Just from Luofu Mountain, Li Zhi obtained such objects like a mountain, and after he understood, he smiled and said: "Zhengqing Wenqitang has been operating some such soft things, and it is full of reserves, since they are all a family, these are nothing!" ”

When Affa's eighth uncle Mansur heard this, the expression on his face was very exciting:

"Maybe Mr. Li doesn't know the specific number, I asked roughly, there are hundreds of pure gold jewelry alone, not to mention one colored diamond per person, and they are all replaced with your Datang silver, I'm afraid I won't be able to get 100,000!"

After being translated in a low voice by Afifa, Li Zhi laughed:

"Gold, silver, and gemstones are all things outside the body, and my wife and I are all cultivators, so we don't look down on them. Besides, all the people who came were Afifa's relatives, the key is to be happy, isn't it? ”

Mahdi also laughed, "Mr. Li's words cast my temper, as long as the family is happy, it is a happy day for Princess Afifa, and it is more important for everyone to be happy than anything else!" ”

As time went on, more and more people came here.

Until King Ming appeared surrounded by a bunch of people and walked straight towards him, Li Zhi hurriedly got up to greet him.

As one of the few king-level ministers who temporarily stayed in Chang'an City, he naturally had more than one opportunity to meet with the VIPs of the Western Regions, after all, the guests had been here for several days.

After the greetings, Li Zhi led King Ming to another place, because Mahdi and the others were sitting in the courtyard, and King Ming was not easy to enter the private room, so it was just another table not far away.

"Zhengwen, this time you are in the limelight, not only did Li Liang lose a lot of money because of this, but you yourself even went on a killing spree in Luofu Mountain, killing thousands of cultivators." King Ming looked at Li Zhi with a smile.

Li Zhi scratched the back of his head, "It's just that the limelight is a little too big!" ”

"You know what you do? I know that you are aggrieved in your heart, and what happened in Guangzhou is also a last resort, but you must remember to stop in moderation! Well, no matter how you say it

It also belongs to the cultivation world, and it is beneficial to the imperial court, so I will not mention it again. Because of the big locust tree Guanghui Temple, have you already been informed? ”

"Naturally, there is nothing to hide from you, after I went to Luoyang last time, the emperor told me to leave it alone, and only ordered me to stay away from Chang'an City."

Before going to Luoyang, King Ming and King Jiancheng knew about the Guanghui Temple of the Great Locust Tree, but after Li Zhi returned, he did not mention the follow-up.

What happened next was actually quite similar to the plan in Li Zhi's mouth before, and King Ming immediately thought of him.

"Good boy, you deceived me, it turns out that your so-called negative luck is all fake!" King Ming feigned anger.

Li Zhi replied with a smile: "Hey, hey, I didn't say anything when I saw King Jiancheng in Guangzhou, you can't spread it out." ”

"I've done everything, and I'm afraid that people will know? However, through this method, it is not unconvincing, especially in Luoyang, which will definitely not think that you are involved! ”

"I can't say that it's all pretending, originally I just felt a pimple in Li Liang's approach, but I never expected that in Chang'an City, there were so many royal families surnamed Li who were inclined to him. They comfort people as if they're there to complete a task, not to make you really want to ask questions. ”

"Wouldn't it be good to persuade you to be generous?"

"In life, there are always people who think they are well-intentioned and persuade you to treat a thing, or someone who is angry about it is more generous and wants to open up a little. But I just want to say, you'd better stay away from this kind of person, because when you are struck by lightning, it will affect you. If you don't know my suffering, don't persuade me to be generous, the position of personal participation is different, and still give the answer that is far from the opposite, the quality of the visitor is to point out the country less! ”

"Oh? You're complaining a lot. ”

"Of course, there are complaints, except for rice paper, almost all the goods in Zhengqing Wenqitang are obtained by me personally, according to those people's ideas, do I still have to distribute them to everyone? Besides, I took the initiative to give fifty percent of the gold mine to Cliff Mountain, I am afraid that they are more loyal than some royal families surnamed Li, right? What kind of considerations did he Li Liang have, and he wanted to forcibly seize the rest of the part? Knowing that this person's behavior is uncomfortable, why do so many people come to persuade me to be generous? ”

King Ming was happy, "Okay, let him go over the past, isn't someone helping you out?" Some of the people in it have indeed gone too far, and the King of Zhenjiang also planned to send someone to Guangzhou this time, but I stopped him, but more people did not deliberately target you, but asked someone to come to the door, they are all from their own clan, some of them are unspeakable, and they also have unspeakable hidden! ”

"Maybe for the royal family surnamed Li, there are some things I am too indulgent, the first time Shang Fang Sword was used, I remember that the royal family forced me to bring it!"

Li Zhi's words stopped at the point, and he didn't explain immediately after, but King Ming could feel the decisiveness in his heart.

No one knows Li Zhi's responsibility better than him, it is only the suppression from the side of the Empress Wu, which has made him cautious step by step, and if there is a problem internally, it will be unbearable to be the king of Ming himself.

So he hurriedly led the conversation to the side: "Yesterday, there was a small sensation in the imperial court, and the Bohai Bay that you explained to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Water, although it has not yet been officially reported, the news that has been revealed has already made people of insight feel very excited!" ”

"I asked them not to report it for the time being, this matter needs to be communicated with Guan Shangshu, after all, the procedures that should be taken must be reached!"

Li Zhi knew King Ming's good intentions, and he also repaired his mood.
