In this era, machinery is still very backward, and the work of moving things such as unloading and loading requires countless manpower.

Li Ji said excitedly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, my Li family has plenty of porters, Siwen, you just follow Your Highness... No, I'll go in person."

With that said, Li Ji followed Li Tai out.

Li Siwen went to gather the porters recruited by the Li family.

……

A place two miles west of Shanzhou City.

It is a large plain.

This place was the fiefdom of Ping Xibo Chen Chu, and it was originally barren and overgrown with weeds.

Today, it has been flattened into a small cargo distribution center.

All goods, no matter where they come from, must be transferred from here.

As for why not go to the city of Shanzhou?

That's because Shanzhou City was originally not big, it was just a small city, and it simply couldn't accommodate so many people and so many goods.

Li Ji looked around and saw piles of goods everywhere.

And the many caravans of the West Datang Company are waiting to enter.

Soon, Li Siwen brought ten transport teams from the Li family over.

I thought that these 2000 people would finish the goods soon, but who knows, putting 2000 people in is a drop in the bucket, even if Li Ji went to the field to help in person, it still delayed the caravan of the Western Datang Company a lot of time.

It took two full days before the West Datang Company finished moving the goods.

In the follow-up, there will be a steady stream of caravans appearing.

The ten caravans of the Li family are simply not enough.

Li Tai said to the exhausted Li Ji; "General, if the Li family can't handle this job, it seems that the king can only ask someone to form a moving army for the West Datang Company..."

When Li Ji heard this, he became anxious, and he grabbed Li Tai's hand: "Your Highness, this time, I was careless... Don't worry, I will go back and let the Li family recruit more porters. No matter how many goods the West Datang Company has, you can find our Li family."

Li Tai nodded: "All the freight yards in Shanzhou belong to the West Datang Company. When I return, I will order that the bulk of the goods, no matter whether they are from the West Datang Company or other merchants, can only be carried by the Li family. ,what do you think?"

All bulk shipments?

Li Ji looked overjoyed: "That's great, the kindness between His Highness and Chen Chu, I will never forget it in my life."

Get rich!

There are countless goods in Shanzhou.

If they were all handed over to the Li family's moving team to carry them, the money they could get would be a huge astronomical figure.

Li Ji said with emotion: "A few days ago, His Majesty sent someone to Shanzhou to ask me if I would like to go back to Chang'an. At first, I had this idea, but now, I don't want to go back to Chang'an. I want to stay in Shanzhou. Chen Chu If you plan to manage Shanzhou, then I will lead the army to sit here and keep the West Datang Company..."

……

Chang'an City.

It was snowing heavily.

In the Ganlu Hall, because of the stove, it is extremely warm.

Emperor Li Er is processing the memorial.

The attendant Gao Chen came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Baiqisi received a letter from Feige from Shanzhou, saying that Li Ji, the general manager of the Hexi Road, said that he didn't want to go back to Chang'an for the time being, and wanted to guard Hexi for His Majesty. Said, he has no desires, no demands, and no need for rewards..."

Ok?

Li Er was full of doubts.

He put down the memorial and wondered: "This Li Ji, before that, he would send me a letter every few months, saying that he was tired of staying in that desolate place in Hexi, and wanted to go back to Chang'an to retire, why suddenly? Changed his mind... Forget it, he is willing to stay in Hexi, so let's just stay in Hexi, now that Tubo is staring at him with evil intentions, with him in charge, I can rest assured..."

"By the way, Xibo Ping and Chen Chu, have you returned to Chang'an?"

Li Er asked again.

Gao Chen replied: "Your Majesty, according to Baiqisi's report, Ping Xibo's car will enter the city at noon today. If Your Majesty wants to Ping Xibo, this slave will send someone to inform him that after he arrives in Chang'an City, the next Go to the palace to meet His Majesty for a while."

Li Er thought for a while, then waved his hand: "Forget it, Chen Chu went to Shanzhou for a few months, and when he came back he was exhausted, so let him go back to rest directly. I will go to the Nanshan Mansion again when I have time, and I have something to ask him face to face... ..."

"Yes!"

After all, Li Er continued to deal with the memorial.

……

Chang'an City.

Outside the west gate.

Several carriages were parked.

A few rough guys stood in the snow and looked into the distance.

It was Chen Chu's sworn brothers, Niu Jinda, Qin Qiong, Li Jing, and Cheng Yaojin.

At this time, a carriage with blue curtains came out of the city.

Seeing this, Qin Qiong said, "Let's go first."

Cheng Yaojin was puzzled, "The fifth younger brother hasn't come yet, why did he leave?"

Qin Qiong pointed to the carriage, and said, "His Royal Highness Princess Changle has come to greet his son-in-law in person. If you want to come, compared to us big bastards, Fifth Brother wants to see Princess Changle..."

Niu Jinda nodded: "Extremely extreme, young man, full of anger, seeing each other every day is like three autumns."

A few old guys showed bad smiles, then turned around and got into the carriage, and left straight away.

The blue-curtained carriage stopped, and an elf-like beauty stepped out. It was Li Lizhi, Princess of Changle.

Li Lizhi was wearing a white cloak, standing in the white snow, blending with nature.

The maid next to him persuaded: "Your Highness, the son-in-law doesn't know when he will arrive, so you can take a rest in the carriage first. There is a stove in the carriage, and it is too cold outside."

Li Lizhi waved her hand: "No, I want to meet my husband in person. He said he will arrive at noon, and he will definitely arrive at noon. I want my husband to open the curtain. The first thing he sees is me. I will do it for him." I bought his favorite turtle soup, and I will feed him to drink it myself..."

As she said that, her face was filled with a sense of satisfaction and happiness.

As if the person being cared for is myself.

……

Chapter 328 It really doesn't work

While Li Lizhi was waiting intently, there were carriages coming out of Chengmen one after another.

The carriage stopped, and people got out of the carriage one after another, looking towards the west.

Li Lizhi took a closer look, and saw that these people were dressed in gold and silver, with gorgeous clothes and extraordinary bearing.

There are well-known merchants in Chang'an City, and there are also heads of big families.

There are also many officials from the DPRK and China.

Li Lizhi was a little astonished, and hurriedly sent her maid to find out what was going on.

The maid came back and said: "Your Highness, these people are all here to welcome Ping Xibo. They have also prepared sumptuous banquets in various restaurants in Chang'an City, and they are going to invite Ping Xibo to the banquet to cleanse Ping Xibo of the dust."

"Are there hundreds of people?"

"Yes."

Li Li asked in confusion: "My husband's trip to Shanzhou this time is a private matter. Father didn't let the court officials come to greet him. Why are there so many people? It's really weird."

Just thinking about it, a carriage came galloping from the west.

Stop beside Li Lizhi.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, stretched out a hand, and dragged Li Lizhi into the carriage.

Li Lizhi was taken aback.

Then, the carriage sped away.

Li Lizhi was about to have a seizure, when she looked up, she saw Chen Chuzheng staring at him with a smile.

"Wife Lizhi, are you stupid?" Seeing Li Lizhi's dumbfounded look, Chen Chu asked teasingly.

Li Lizhi looked at the carriage, looked at the distance, and asked: "My husband, didn't you say that you brought a huge motorcade? Why are you missing? Also, why is your carriage so crude? Why don't you dare show up?"

The carriage had already galloped into the city gate and arrived in Chang'an city.

Chen Chu took Li Lizhi's hand and explained: "The convoy from Shanzhou this time is too large. If it goes directly to Chang'an City, it will be a little ostentatious. Besides, I heard that there are countless people in Chang'an City who want to talk to me about negotiating with the Xitang Company. For cooperation, I can naturally not give face to those merchants, but it is difficult for me to deal with officials and big households in the DPRK and China, so I simply slip away first and let them wait here..."

Back then, when the West Datang Company was established, many people laughed at Chen Chu because he had too much money and no place to spend it.

Today, Western Datang Company's business in the Western Regions is getting bigger and bigger, and its reputation is getting more and more prominent.

Many people couldn't sit still and wanted a piece of the pie.

Chen Chu also became a favorite.

Li Lizhi figured this out, and said, "Fortunately, my husband, you are Ping Xibo now. If you were still a commoner son-in-law before, how many people would want to get the idea of ​​Xi Datang Company... huh?"

She sniffed, then suddenly frowned and said, "Honey, are you looking for a woman in Shanzhou?"

What?

Chen Chu was taken aback.

Is it a sixth sense, or is there direct evidence?

By the way, they must be cheating on me.

Chen Chu pretended to be calm: "How could it be? I've always guarded myself like jade, I'm honest and self-sufficient, and I never do anything to find beautiful women."

Li Lizhi said, "I can already smell the fragrance."

Cough!

Along the way, Chen Chu enjoyed Angsi's service.

Therefore, although the journey from Shanzhou to Chang'an City is long, it is not boring, and several postures have been developed along the way.

But two days ago, he sent Anse to another carriage.

Before arriving in Chang'an City, he specially changed into new clothes and took three baths.

Unexpectedly, Li Lizhi still noticed it.

How terrifying!

Li Ke scratched his head and froze for a moment.

Li Lizhi glanced at him, then suddenly threw himself into his arms, hugged him tightly, and then untied his robe without any explanation.

After a while, the carriage started to shake back and forth.

After a gust of wind and rain.

Chen Chu asked: "Wife Lizhi, don't you blame me?"

Li Lizhi said: "How dare I blame you, my husband, you are a first-class smart person in the world, even if you marry all the beautiful women in the world, I will not blame you... However, I have conditions, I must Bigger."

Hearing this, Chen Chu was so moved that tears rolled in his eyes.

you see!

What a woman.

How empathetic.

What more can a husband ask for after getting such a daughter.

Chen Chu coughed and said, "Forget about all the beautiful women in the world. If you have three thousand weak water, I can just take a few dozen scoops to drink. There are too many, and my body can't take it..."

Dozens of scoops?

Li Lizhi frowned, and finally nodded in agreement.

When the two returned to the Nanshan Mansion, Li Lizhi immediately brought up the turtle soup she had prepared and forced Chen Chu to drink it. Not counting, they also killed more than a dozen turtles and gave Chen Chu the stewed soup.

Then there is the dark battle.

a few days later.
