Chapter 206 An Lushan Fulfilled His Wish
Hedong Road and Taiyuan City are the long-lasting land of the Li family royal family in the Tang Dynasty. They can be connected with Fanyang and Pinglu. An Lushan has already taken over the military governor of Fanyang and Pinglu. As long as he gets the position of the military governor of Hedong, most of the north of the Yellow River will become his territory and his power will increase exponentially.
"Damn Li Fei, I actually want to murder me. When I win the world one day, I will definitely let you little bastard die well!" An Lushan has cursed Li Fei many times along the way to Tongguan.
An Lushan was unwilling to return to Youzhou without obtaining the position of Hedong Jiedushi.
Although because of Li Fei, An Lushan wanted to clear up the matter of rebellion and could not ask Emperor Xuanzong of Tang for the position of Hedong Jiedushi, it has not been a year or two for An Lushan to rebellion, so how could he not have bought himself in the court?
Just on the afternoon of the day when Li Fei had just received the imperial edict and was preparing to take office at the Anton Protectorate's Office, an official reported to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.
"Your Majesty, Xi tribe and Khitan tribe have repeatedly surrendered and rebelled over a hundred years, which is actually a problem of corrupt bones in our Tang Dynasty. Under the attack of the Dongping County Prince, although the Xi tribe has been completely conquered, the stronger Khitan tribe is still there. The Dongping County Prince hurriedly returned to the Fanyang front line this time to resist the Khitan tribe's counterattack. Now the Khitan tribe has joined forces with other barbarians and gathered tens of thousands of cavalry. The troops under the Dongping County Prince have more persistent forces, but they are not able to fight back enough, and they may not be able to defeat the Khitan and other barbarians in one fell swoop. Therefore, I beg Your Majesty to send more troops from other places to the Dongping County Prince so that he can have enough strength and to wipe out the Khitan tribe in one fell swoop, completely solving the corrupt bones in the Tang Dynasty!"
Is this official reasonable? Of course it makes sense?
At least Emperor Xuanzong of Tang thought it was too reasonable. At this time, he had no doubt that An Lushan had any idea of rebellion, and even trusted An Lushan more than before. So after hearing the official's words, he did not think much about it. He also felt that troops should be drawn from other places to supplement An Lushan, so that An Lushan had enough strength to wipe out the rebellious Khitan tribe in one fell swoop.
After thinking about it, he thought that Li Fei's abominable boy once "falsely accused" Lushan of Lushan, saying that Lushan would definitely plot the position of Hedong Jiedushi and would do rebellion. Then he asked Lushan to take the position of Hedong Jiedushi and let Li Fei see if Lushan would rebel!
"Transfer my will to let the Prince of Dongping also take charge of the position of Hedong Jiedushi, gather the power of Hedong, Pinglu and Fanyang, and be sure to slaughter the Khitan barbarians!" Emperor Xuanzong of Tang passed the order.
The moment the imperial edict reached An Lushan's hands, An Lushan laughed wildly.
"Hahahaha, the position of Hedong Jiedushi was still in the hands of me, An Lushan!" An Lushan could have predicted that his power had increased exponentially.
At the same time, An Lushan also learned that Li Fei was about to take up his post in Anton Protectorate.
An Lushan's eyes flashed with a trace of viciousness and he sneered: "Li Fei, I, An Lushan, will not let you have the fate to go to the Anton Protectorate!"
An Lushan, who got what he wished, did not continue to waste time slowly. Now he ordered his soldiers to march at full speed and must rush back to Youzhou as quickly as possible and start to completely rectify the three towns.
———————
In Chang'an City, Li Fei learned that An Lushan had finally obtained the position of Hedong Jiedushi. All he had was a deep helplessness in his heart. In the end, he could not stop anything. The Anshi Rebellion could no longer be avoided. Perhaps this was the destined disaster of the Tang Dynasty. The prosperity of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was destined to be from the peak, because Emperor Xuanzong of Tang's own depravity and corruption were gradually towards complete destruction.
An Lushan obtained the position of Hedong Jiedushi as he wished and returned to Youzhou. At this time, he led three Jiedushi, and most of the north of the Yellow River became his power. The rebellion was no longer something that anyone could stop. The chaos in the world was approaching.
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang only gave three days of preparation time, which was obviously not enough for Li Fei. He had too many things to arrange. The first was the wealth he had accumulated over the past few years.
That night, Li Fei called Cao Xiaozhong and Xiao Ruoshui to discuss secretly.
From cement, ceramic tiles, squatting, to the movable type printing technology behind, blue and white porcelain, exquisite porcelain, glass mirrors, telescopes, and the additional income brought by some businesses every year, and the rewards from Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Yang Guifei, over the past three years, Li Fei has accumulated amazing wealth.
Without further ado, the rewards given by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang alone were worth more than 500,000 yuan. The rewards given by his godmother Yang Guifei were also rare treasures, and they may be worth tens of thousands of yuan. In the past and later, they are even worth more than the rewards given by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.
Blue and white porcelain and Linglong porcelain are undoubtedly the most money they earn. After all, one is the pearl in porcelain and the other is the treasure in porcelain. Because the "advertising" written by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Yang Guifei, and the business path of the Qiqing Chamber of Commerce was quickly promoted to all counties across the country, the world is proud of buying some blue and white porcelain and Linglong porcelain. Some wealthy people even judged by the number of blue and white porcelain or Linglong porcelain in their homes.
Although in more than three years, some experts in porcelain have imitated blue and white porcelain and Linglong porcelain, breaking Li Fei's monopoly, the quality is not even worse than that of Zhaojiayao and Zhangjiayao under Li Fei's command. The great officials and wealthy people recognize that the blue and white porcelain of Zhaojiayao and Zhangjiayao has already Linglong porcelain.
What's more, Li Fei consciously let Cao Xiaozhong contact some maritime merchants, Western Region Hu merchants, etc., and used blue and white porcelain and Linglong porcelain to exchange a large number of unique specialties in the Western Regions and overseas, and made a lot of money.
Following the blue and white porcelain and Linglong porcelain is a glass mirror, which sells thirty slogans as big as a palm, but it has an advantage that a bronze mirror cannot match. It is unparalleled for women and even attractive to many men. After all, men also have to organize their long hair and faces. The images reflected by a clear mirror can be pleasing to the eye.
The moment when the total number of 7.36 million yuan was calculated, Li Fei was only slightly surprised. Lin Shiyue smiled and narrowed her eyes, but she was the housekeeper and was prepared. Changsun Lanxin waited for both eyes. She always knew that her husband was very rich, but she never thought so much. No wonder she didn't mind that her clinic gave free medicine for some poor people for free treatment. In the past, she always felt that she could not help but feel soft-hearted, a little bit of absent-hearted, and felt sorry for her husband. Now it seems that her husband probably didn't even see the little money she lost because of her soft-heartedness.
Although Li Fei has accumulated so much, it may not be as much as Yang Guozhong has plundered many times over the years.
Li Fei had spent more than one million yuan to purchase a large amount of land, houses, etc. in the Jiangsu and Hangzhou areas of Jiangnan. He originally thought he would have moved to Jiangnan for the rest of his life, but now his plan cannot keep up with the changes and he will have to go to the Andong Protectorate immediately. No matter how much industries in Jiangnan are made, it is useless. The remaining more than 5 million yuan cannot be used to purchase industries in Jiangnan, so he has to make another plan.
