Chapter 260 Gyeonggi
After seeing off the envoys from various countries, Li Shimin looked at Yang Peng who was standing below and said, "Do you have anything else to do?"

Yang Peng thought for a while and said, "The Marshal sent back the 500 million taels of gold obtained from this business."

"What 500 million taels?" Li Shimin stood up from his seat and said excitedly, "This is more than the annual tax revenue of Datang."

Seeing Li Shimin's excited expression, Yang Peng paused and said, "In addition, the marshal earned 5807 million taels of gold."

"What else?" After being surprised, Li Shimin came again: "You mean that Long Feiyu earned the big head?"

"Yes, the five million taels of gold that was handed over to His Majesty was extorted back by the Marshal."

"Blackmail? Didn't you go on a mission? How did you get into the blackmail business again?"

"We just approached the Roman Empire and handed in our credentials. Unexpectedly, one of their city lords was greedy for what we brought. He led a sneak attack with nearly [-] soldiers in the middle of the night, and was defeated by our army. The marshal led us to capture took that city, and distributed some of the property in the city to the people."

"It's absurd, it's just absurd, how can you attack a city rashly as envoys?" A Confucianist's beard was shaking wildly, obviously such a thing was not advocated by Confucianists.

Yang Peng smiled dully, the court was not a place for generals like them to stay.Long Feiyu was able to gain a firm foothold in the court because his fists were hard enough.These Confucian scholars were not arrogant enough to dare Long Feiyu to confront them.But now that Long Feiyu is no longer there, they are not so afraid.Anyway, Yang Peng didn't dare to hit them. If he did, he might have to take off his armor.

"Then the envoys should be looted according to this lord's intention? Just like Mobei two years ago, all the envoys were killed, and the marshal almost killed the enemy's poisonous hands. This is what the lord wants to see. Did you arrive?"

"Okay, let's go on with Yang Peng, you captured the city of Rome, didn't the Roman emperor lead troops to encircle and suppress it?"

"No, after the city was captured, the marshal sent envoys to various countries. The scandal of Rome was publicized in all directions, and the plundering envoys, even the Roman emperor, dared not speak out. In the end, under pressure from all sides, they had to Kill that city lord."

"Okay, this matter is done well, and it doesn't fall into the prestige of my Tang Dynasty. The establishment of diplomatic relations must give people a strong feeling. Otherwise, the later work will not be able to start at all. Then did you encounter any other things next? ?”

"We just arrived at the next city, and we were attacked by some fishermen at night. They dived into the water in the middle of the night and started digging boats from the bottom of the water."

"What? I thought those Romans were so kind, so they were all thieves. So how did you deal with it?"

"Originally, the navy planned to launch a siege into the sea, but was finally stopped by the marshal. He ordered us to use a large net to filter the boats one by one, and caught all the fishermen on board. After a long day of explanations, they were finally released at dawn. At this time, the city lord encouraged a large number of fishermen to come and make trouble, chasing the soldiers we sent back to the fishermen by boat."

"Then what happened in the end, did you kill the fishermen who were chasing you?"

"Everyone was going to do it at first, but the marshal said it was a conspiracy. If we killed these people, it would be bad for the establishment of diplomatic relations. So we just ordered people to use trebuchets to overturn those boats. The fishermen fled back to the case in fright. The fisherman sent back explained that the catastrophe disappeared. At this time, the marshal took the opportunity to enter the mansion of the city lord and demanded compensation from the city lord. In the end, he got 10 taels of gold from the city lord."

"Oh, so that's where all your gold comes from?"

"A small part is, and the rest is that when we passed by a small island, there were many luminous fluorites on the island. They were polished into night pearls by the Marshal and transported to Rome. The Roman palace was originally inlaid with gems. At night, the brilliance of gemstones could not be seen at all. The marshal gave the Roman city lord a luminous pearl that was successfully polished to a size of a foot, illuminating all the gemstones in the palace. He received 1 taels of gold, because these things were marked by the Roman emperor The fluorite alone was sold for 200 million taels of gold. The silk and other things we brought plus some diamonds were exchanged for 200 million, and with the addition of other income, we made up 500 million taels this time. .”

"Where did Long Feiyu's gold come from?"

"Because Rome is a slavery country, there is a big gap between the nobles and the common people. The nobles hoard a lot of gold, but the common people have a lot of copper coins. Relatively speaking, there are relatively few silver coins. The envoys of various countries and those merchants raised more than 2000 million taels of gold. They exchanged all the silver in the Roman Empire at once. Due to the lack of silver, the gold depreciated rapidly and was finally bought by the marshal at a low price of five to one. Since then, he has had the 5807 million taels of gold."

"Then after all, Long Feiyu still used my money. How could he have the audacity to say it was his?"

"Theoretically speaking, 500 million of the 250 million belongs to His Majesty, and the 87 is the creative money taken from the envoys of various countries. The remaining money is borrowed from those businessmen and interest has been paid. So The Marshal should give you a total of 750 million taels of gold to Your Majesty."

"What does Long Feiyu want so much gold for? His salary has always been overspending these years. He was the one who was rescued by me, and now he dares to bargain with me. Put all the gold into the treasury."

"The marshal has already written his name on his gold. He said that it is fine to store it in the treasury first, and we will talk about it when he comes back. In addition, he has another treasure to present to His Majesty."

"Treasure? What?"

"Come up."

As Yang Peng's voice fell, several soldiers entered the hall carrying a round bead tied with a rope.Glancing at Yuanzhu, Li Shimin said disdainfully, "Could it be the fluorite he used to sell at a high price?"

"Your Majesty, this is a real night pearl. It is a natural treasure, which can illuminate the palace at night. The value of this treasure is no less than the second treasure of easy-going."

"Really? If it's real, Long Feiyu's gold will be temporarily stored in the national treasury. If he dares to deceive me, the gold will be permanently stored in the national treasury."

"Don't dare. The Marshal specially ordered his ministers to bring it back and present it to His Majesty. How could it be fake?"

These courtiers dare not speak about Long Feiyu's words about earning a lot of gold and silver for himself by pretending to be public and self-serving.This is something that people exchanged their lives for. Besides, who can prove that these things should not belong to Long Feiyu.

Long Mansion, following the news that the caravan brought back Long Feiyu, was extremely excited here.After more than a year of getting along, Duoyan has integrated into the Dragon Mansion. Feifei patiently taught her Chinese, and she is also studying hard.

But because this time she gave birth to a daughter, she seemed a little unhappy.Although Turkic culture is dominated by women, after realizing that the Han people are a world where men are respected, they have some hidden worries about their daughter Duoyan.

Seeing her looking at the sea again, Feifei came over silently and said, "Okay, Duoyan, don't be dazed here anymore. It's time to breastfeed the baby."

Duoyan sighed, and said in unfamiliar Chinese: "Sister Feifei, am I useless?"

"No, why would you say that?"

"Look, Sister Zhen'er and Sister Yue'er both gave birth to boys this time, and only I gave birth to girls. Will Shouzhen blame me?"

"What are you talking about? You don't know how much Zhen'er and Yue'er envy you. In fact, they also want to have a girl. Look at how those children have turned out. I heard that the grandson's family has been taken away in the past few days. His son was beaten, and he is hiding in the backyard and dare not go out."

"What? Although those children are young, their martial arts are not weak. Why are you afraid of this?"

"His father is gone, no one will support them, and they will hide at home if they get into trouble. Anyway, there are two bears in the backyard, even if those children rush into our house, there is no need to be afraid."

"I heard that Shouzhen often cleans them up. These children still want to wait for him to come back and go out to fight?"

"You don't understand this. The eldest grandson is as famous as Shouzhen. The elder brother and the third younger brother are not enough. When children fight, they rarely dare to fight back when the adults are not around. This is a common problem."

"Really? I remember Yuan Hong and the others were fined to squat in the yard for a day when they fought last time?"

"You don't understand this. A father has repaired his own children. It means that he is going to help his children understand his mistakes. If he doesn't repair them, they will be miserable. This time the eldest and second are no longer, Qin Huaiyu and Luo Yong They also followed. Yuchi Baolin and Cheng Huaiyu are older than them, so they can't play with each other at all."

"But Zaitao is also a boy. I heard that only boys in Tang Dynasty have the right to inherit their father's property. If this continues, won't my daughter be taken care of in the future?"

"Hehe, Duoyan, you think too much. Feiyu said that all his family property is not going to be given to these children. Your daughter may get a generous dowry. Those boys will have to rely on themselves when they grow up. Feiyu even They are not allowed to inherit titles."

"Really? That's the best way. I'm still worried that I won't be able to fight against you. In the end, you will take all the benefits. Then wouldn't it be a disadvantage?"

"Don't worry, you have to remember that you are Long Feiyu's woman. Long Feiyu is not only a name, he is also a legend, as long as you and I abide by the law. No one in the world dares to do anything to us. "

When Feifei said these words, she felt a sense of happiness. In this era, the emphasis on love is too slim.The acquaintance between her and Long Feiyu was only a few months.

Ever since she let go of all her dignity as a woman and gave herself to Long Feiyu in a reckless way, she knew that she would never be able to leave this man in her life.In fact, Long Feiyu has never let her down. Look at the crowds of children and grandchildren now.The father is kind and the son is filial, everything is supported by that man on his shoulders.

The Dragon Mansion 12 years ago was just a ghost house with no one to live in, but now the Dragon Mansion has become a holy place that people all over the world yearn for.Because there lives a genius who is famous all over the world in military law, medicine, calligraphy, agriculture and other fields.
