Chapter 717: The Second Year of Yonghui, Dengzhou
"Fifth brother...I'm here... bringing a large number of Shu brocades...!"
In the second year of Yonghui, Wu Zetian had just been brought into the palace by Queen Wang. A prince of Shu, Li Yan, came to the distant city of Dengzhou. Li Yan's Yizhou has developed quite well now. You should know that the food in Dengzhou is mainly supplied by Yizhou. Not only that, Li You has opened up the sea route market and formed a very large-scale maritime Silk Road.
You can sell all the porcelain, tea, silk, Shu brocade, etc. from the Tang Dynasty to many places overseas.
This Silk Road sets sail from the port of Dengzhou or Quanzhou, passes through Hainan Island, the Kingdom of Huan (now in Vietnam), the Kingdom of Mendu, the Kingdom of Ancient Sa, Longyamen, Luoyue, Srivova, Heling, Guluo, the Kingdom of Gorgulu, the Kingdom of Victory, the Kingdom of Victory, the Kingdom of Lion, the Kingdom of Lion, the Kingdom of Southern India, the Kingdom of Brahmin, the Kingdom of Xinduhe, the Kingdom of Tirolu, the Kingdom of Ula, the Kingdom of Dashi, the Kingdom of Molu, and the Kingdom of Sanlan.
At the same time, some people in Dengzhou have set up offices in various countries, which is the first generation of Tang people who immigrated overseas.
Li You's Dengzhou now has more than 100 cargo ships and more than 200 warships. Of course, the current overseas trade is only in the nearby waters and has not gone deeper.
"Yo... This is not the Sixth Brother, why do you lead a team to send Shujin every day? I didn't know that I thought you were the captain of the Shijin Transport of Shujin in Yizhou."
Soon he walked over to Li Yan, a beautiful girl.
The girl is very beautiful, wearing a white gauze skirt, tied it with water-blue silk and soft smoke around her waist to form an elegant bow, and gently tied up her ink-colored hairpin and inserted it into a slanted hairpin.
Her skin is as crystal clear as jade, without any makeup, a round oval face, her eyes are pitch black, her cheeks are flushed, and her body exudes a youthful and lively atmosphere.
"Haha... it's Yizi... You know that Brother Liu likes Dengzhou, so he came a little harder. By the way, Yizi, I heard that you refused to marry again. Oh, you are not young anymore, you are almost twenty years old. If you don't get married, you will become an old girl in the future."
The girl is nothing else, but our Jinyang Princess Li Mingda. Li Mingda is now just twenty years old. If it were in ancient times, a 20-year-old girl would have long become the mother of several children.
But Li Mingda is different. Maybe she grew up under the careful care of Li You, so Li Mingda has always been carefree. Her state of mind and thoughts are not a bit similar to women of this period. Although she was twenty years old at this time, Li Mingda's mood was still pure. Just like those 20-year-old girls in modern times, she still didn't grow up. She knew that she would take her nieces and nieces to play wildly in Dengzhou City all day long.
When Li Xiang grew up, she took Li Heng and Li Jue with her. When Li Heng and Li Jue were about to grow up, she wanted to take Li Zhan, Li An, and Li Renran with her... Anyway, this guy will not be idle. In Dengzhou, the girl who lives very modern in life is as happy and free as she is.
"Tsk... I'm in a hurry to get married. My fifth brother said, I'll get married before the age of 25, and if I get married, the man has to follow me... I won't live in a man's house..." Li Mingda said disdainfully.
"It's... my aunt won't serve a man's in-laws." The thirteen-year-old Li Heng helped his aunt.
"Auntie is still very young and doesn't have to get married at all...!" thirteen-year-old Li Jue smiled.
"Hey... you two little guys are your aunt's followers. By the way, why don't you call me when I see you? Are you looking for a fight?" Li Yan looked at Li Jue and Li Heng with a stern face.
Li Jue and Li Heng also immediately bowed and shouted, "Sixth Uncle...!"
Looking at the little guy who bowed to him, Li Yan also smiled and nodded: "Good, be good... come, one person...!" As he said that, he took out two golden beans from his purse and gave one to him.
He was very happy to get the two little guys from Jindou. Now Li Yan is rich, and the money to sell Shu brocade and tea leaves made Li Yan basically not short of money now. He can afford one golden bean for each person.
"So generous..." Li Mingda smiled at Li Yan's purse with little eyes. His smile was definitely malicious.
"What do you want to do..." Li Yan immediately hid his purse inside his clothes: "I will tell you, don't hit me with Jindouzi..." After saying that, Li Yan shouted again: "Fifth Brother, Fifth Brother... Come here, I brought a batch of Shujin here, you ask someone to inspect the goods quickly, I will go back after inspection..."
"Go back..." Li Mingda smiled and said, "Go back to Yizhou?"
"What am I going back to Yizhou?" Li Yan was speechless: "I have a home in Dengzhou City... I go back to Dengzhou."
"Tsk... I think you want to go to a bad place in Dengzhou... Be careful, I'll tell my third brother... You are a fickle carrot!" Li Mingda stared at Li Yan with two big eyes.
Li Yan smiled disdainfully: "You thought I was the same as you, afraid of my third brother... Little Shizi, you didn't know at all. Now it's the third brother who is afraid of me. Do you know, how much money does the third brother owe me now?"
"The third brother owes you money?" Li Mingda was stunned.
"That's of course... You don't know yet. You think the most honest third brother also bought a house in Dengzhou, but he bought it too late. When I bought it, a beach villa in Dengzhou was only 5,000 taels. Do you know how much the beach villa in Dengzhou has increased to now?"
"Six thousand..." Li Heng shouted at Li Yan.
Li Yan smiled and shook his head.
"Ten thousand..." Li Jue shouted loudly.
"Not..." Li Yan stretched out three fingers and said, "It's 30,000 taels, and it must be paid in one lump sum, not one tael less."
"Really... the beach villas are so expensive. I still remember when it was built. Someone said that a beach villa would not be sold. However, Brother Wu strongly wanted to build it, but now it has sold for 30,000 taels?" Li Mingda looked at his fifth brother who was talking to someone in front of him in a bit incredible.
"Yes..." Li Yan also looked at Li You in front of him with admiration: "This is the power of the fifth brother. His perspective on things is always farther and wider than others, so he was not wrong at all.
Yizi, I heard that you also have several beach villas. Should you sell them while the market is in the market? You know, your starlings and tenth brothers... They all want them too. If you are willing, just say, I will build a bridge for you, and each person will charge you 3,000 taels for the bridge construction fee."
"Why don't you go and grab it? Brother Six, it costs 3,000 taels to build a bridge. You are really dark...!" After saying that, Li Mingda turned around and left, and Li Heng and Li Jue immediately followed.
Li Yan smiled and said, "What are you going to... Let's talk about it, how about a thousand taels?"
"Le..." Li Mingda turned around and spitted his cute little tongue at Li Yan.
