Slaves, slaves, are not born slaves or captured slaves.

If you want to catch a slave and become a qualified slave after entering the slave status, you still need to go through a good adjustment. Otherwise, there is a possibility of devouring the Lord at any time.

This is why it is often said that it is easy to catch slaves, but it is not easy to train slaves.

So Fujiwara's words surprised Li Yuanba and them.

"Aren't you afraid that after we get the location of these Kunlun slaves, we will exterminate your Fujiwara family?" Li Yuanba looked at Fujiwara Sae with interest and said.

Fujiwara Sakai lifted the robe off his head, revealing a slightly pale face, and said:

"The prince laughed, our Fujiwara family will not be a small family attached to the protection of the Celestial Empire. If the prince wants to destroy our family, it's just a matter of one sentence! ”

"Well, for the sake of your sincerity, this king has complied with your request!"

Li Yuanba was still very satisfied with the respectful Fujiwara Sayi, so he nodded at Fujiwara Sayi and said:

"But don't worry, for those who are loyal to my Datang, this king will not treat him badly! In this way, you tell us the location of Kunlun Nu, and at the same time, the king's army will raid Kunlun Nu, and how many slaves will be caught at that time, according to the two consistent prices, you will help us train them, and one will count as one! What do you think? ”

Fujiwara Zuo knelt on one knee and stroked his heart with his right hand: "The little one is willing to pour the strength of the whole clan and serve the prince to the death!" ”

Although it seems that at present, their Fujiwara family does not seem to be able to take advantage of it at all, and they have given up a lot of benefits, but in the long run, they have taken a big advantage.

At least in the future, with Li Yuanba and the imperial court supporting their Fujiwara family, the future days will be much more moisturized.

……

On the third day of October in the eighth year of Zhenguan, it has been more than a month since Wushun gave birth to the first day of junior high school, and Li Yuanjia and Li Su have been messing around in the Pingwu Capital Protectorate for ten days and half a month. was summoned back by a holy decree from Li Shimin.

As for the reason, it's very simple, Emperor Li Yuan misses him.

So, bitter. Li Yuanjia, who was forced, returned to Chang'an City with infinite resentment, as well as many treasures and specialties collected by Li Yuanba.

Li Yuanba's life after that also returned to calm, but today, Dengzhou did bring Li Yuanba an exciting news.

Pingfu Palace, Royal Palace.

"Lord Wang, someone is here in Dengzhou!" Li Sanduo pushed the door in. Report to Li Yuanba in the study.

"Oh, what's going on in Dengzhou?" Li Yuanba put down the pen and paper in his hand, rubbed his eyebrows and asked.

Li Sanduo shook his head and said, "The last general doesn't know, but the person who came here knows it, it's Chang Baisheng, the chief supervisor of the largest shipyard in Dengzhou!" ”

"Chang Baisheng? Could it be that something happened to the shipyard? Li Yuanba felt a little strange, "Take him in!" ”

"No!"

Li San replied, turned around and walked out.

It didn't take long for Li Sanduo to lead a man wearing a purple robe. A middle-aged man with a three-inch black hair under his chin walked in.

"Chang Baisheng, the chief supervisor of the Xiaguan Dengzhou Shipyard, has seen His Royal Highness the Martial King!"

As soon as he entered the door, Chang Baisheng, who seemed to have obviously become a lot more energetic, gave Li Yuanba a big salute.

"Standing overseer, it's been a long time. Hurry up and get free! Li Yuanba took two steps forward and helped Chang Baisheng up.

"Your Highness!" Chang Baisheng took advantage of the situation, with a happy smile on his face: "Your Highness, the lower officials have a happy event to report this time!" ”

"Oh. What's the matter? Li Yuanba asked.

Chang Baisheng smiled and said, "Your Highness, do you remember that before you sent troops to Goguryeo, you sent something called a steam engine to the shipyard. And tell the lower officials that they can start making iron boats......"

When he said this, Li Yuanba stood up suddenly, interrupted Chang Baisheng, and said, "You mean that the iron ship built with steam as the power can already be put into use?" ”

Chang Baisheng nodded and said, "Lord Wang, I don't know if it can be put into use for Xiaguan, but that kind of iron ship can already be launched for sea trials, and Lord Mo, who is stationed in the Shenji Branch of the shipyard, specially ordered Xiaguan to come to the Wa Kingdom to report to His Highness." ”

"Did Mojin ask you to come?" Li Yuanba said curiously.

Chang Baisheng said: "Lord Mo said that this matter is too important and must be reported to His Highness!" ”

"Hahaha, good, good!"

Li Yuanba stroked his palms and laughed, now that the steamship has finally been developed, if it is put into use now, the speed can be increased countless times just in terms of shipping.

When he first came to Dengshu, he naturally wanted to develop a steamship so that he could easily land on the Ryukyu Islands.

According to the previous speed, it would have taken at least seven or eight years to get from Dengshu to the Ryukyu Islands even by sailboat, but if it was a tin ship driven by a steam engine, it was estimated that it would only take a day or two to reach it.

In this way, the speed is improved, and the manpower and material resources are naturally saved.

Even though the Ryukyu Islands have been occupied by other races or countries, with the tin steamboats, nothing is longer a problem.

Seeing the excited look on Li Yuanba's face, the smile on Chang Baisheng's face seemed to be even brighter:

"Your Highness, the Dengzhou Shipyard originally only built a steam ship, but at the insistence of Lord Mo, the workers of the shipyard rushed to work day and night, and a total of two ships were built. In addition, one of them was also equipped with a new Shenwu cannon, although the weight has increased, but it is not difficult to bring the ship up with the power of the steam engine, but the speed has been slightly reduced! ”

Li Yuanba didn't expect that this ink gold was still a war maniac, although he would have to add weapons to the iron ship sooner or later, this ink gold went ahead of him.

"Okay, well, this king remembers your merits, if this steamship can sail into the sea normally, this king will not only ask for credit to His Majesty for you, but also reward you, reward!"

The color of information on Li Yuanba's face was overflowing, and it began, and Datang's expedition was finally about to begin!

……

After noon that day, Li Yuanba hurriedly arranged the affairs of the Pingwu Capital Protectorate, and rushed to Dengzhou with a thousand soldiers of the Shenwu Guard on a sailing ship.

The next day, on the port of Dengzhou, a huge sailing ship with a capacity of 1,000 people slowly moored there.

A group of black-clad Shenwu guards took the lead from the ship and escorted Li Yuanba and Li Su off the sailboat.

This time, Li Yuanba only brought Li Su back, but this guy was really out of character, and he was busy with political affairs in the Pingwu Protectorate for half a month, but he made a mess of Dengzhou.

Later, it was because of Li Yun's participation that the Pingwei Protectorate gradually got on the right track, and gradually became more organized.

If you have to say it, Li Su is suitable to be a general who leads the troops to fight and charge, let him defend the city, it is better to let him do business to come more freely.

Therefore, Li Yuanba left Li Yun to deal with the political affairs of the Pingwei Protectorate, but he returned to Dengzhou with Li Su, also because he was afraid that Li Su would mess up Dengzhou.

After seeing these Shenwu guards' soldiers and Li Yuanba, who was guarded by them in the middle, the originally noisy port terminal fell into a momentary stagnation.

But then the whole dock became more noisy.

"Yes, it's Shenwuwei!"

"And His Royal Highness the Martial King, it's His Royal Highness the Martial King who is back!"

"His Royal Highness King Wu has returned to Dengzhou, go back quickly and inform your lordship, but you must not miss the opportunity to meet His Royal Highness King Wu!"

At the port wharf, whether it was the merchants, or the laborers, or the people who came to give them off, they all went crazy, and they ran to tell each other, trying to tell their families as soon as possible.

"Hehe, it's still our Tang people who look at it and feel comfortable!" Li Yuanba got off the sailboat and looked at the people who were staring at him with bright eyes, with a gentle smile on his face.

"That's it, I've been dealing with some Japanese people all day, listening to their awkward Japanese words, my ears are calloused!"

Li Su stretched out his little finger and plucked his ears, turned his head to look at Dengzhou Port, and said, "How do you feel that this Dengzhou Port has changed a lot?" ”

"We have been away from Dengzhou for more than half a year, and the great changes prove that Dengzhou has developed again and become more prosperous!"

Li Yuanba looked at the honor guard that had been arranged a long time ago, and said, "Okay, if you have anything to say, wait until you go back to the Governor's Mansion, you see that your third brother has arrived!" ”

While speaking, Li Yuanba also stretched out his finger and pointed to the exit of the port to Chang'an City.

"Is the third brother here too?"

Li Su followed Li Yuanba's finger and looked over, and sure enough, he saw that the people of Dengzhou there had been evacuated, and there were teams of Dengzhou guards wearing armor on both sides of the entrance, all with serious faces and spears in their hands.

In the deepest part of these Dengzhou guards, a black round-necked robe, who looked more and more powerful and taller, straightened his head and looked forward to it.

"Let's go, Uncle Four Emperors, let's go over quickly!" Li Su was about to see through the autumn water, so he pulled Li Yuanba and ran towards the exit.

"You kid......"

Shaking his head helplessly, Li Yuanba could only let Li Su pull him towards Li Su's location.

When it was close, and there was even a distance of more than ten zhang, Li Su, the unlucky child, shouted: "Third brother, third brother......"

Not far away, Li Su, who obviously had a mature aura on his body, laughed, looked at a few steps, first saluted Li Yuanba, and then beat Li Su's chest fiercely, and said, "You kid, still mess around!" ”

"Hey, hey!" Li Su didn't speak, but just laughed twice.

"Ke'er, you are good, you are getting more and more majestic!" Li Yuanba took two steps forward and patted Li Ke's shoulder, and said, "It seems that in the past six months, I have dealt with Dengzhou affairs, but I have made you grow up!" ”

Li Kehan laughed and said, "Thank you Uncle Sihuang for your compliment!" This is thanks to the Fourth Emperor Uncle for giving me this opportunity, otherwise, I am afraid that I will not even be able to manage my own fief! (To be continued.) )
