Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 224 Chapter 224

Li Ke thinks he is not a person who is greedy for beauty, but he did not kill Mei Ji at the beginning, and brought her back all the way in the end, which indeed has a lot to do with the beauty of this woman.

This woman is too coquettish, her eyebrows and eyes are alluring, her slightly raised lips, and her high nose bridge all catch people's attention.

Compared with Changsun Yan's appearance of a traditional Han beauty, Mei Ji's slightly exotic appearance is more able to attract the most primitive impulses of men.

Li Ke knew in his heart that once such a beautiful woman was brought back, it would definitely be a big trouble.

But he never expected that this trouble would come so quickly.

At this moment, Changsun Yan said that this ugly slave looks like a girl, and Li Ke couldn't answer for a while.

He had thought about telling the truth about the matter, but at least not now. He wanted to think of a suitable excuse to make Changsun Yan believe that this Tubo man would not harm his safety again.

Looking at the ugly slave, Li Ke found that he was also looking at him coldly.

Li Ke shook his eyebrows at him, signaling him to act a little manly, so that he could talk to him and deny it.

Ugly Nuer was stunned for a moment, the corner of his mouth turned slightly to one side, and he actually started to faintly smile.

Seeing his expression, Li Ke knew something bad was going to happen.

Next, Ugly Nuer straightened her chest up, revealing her sexuality more clearly.

Li Ke hurried forward, grabbed Chang Sun Yan, and stopped telling her to pay attention to this ugly slave.

"Yan'er, I haven't seen you for a long time, let me have a good time!"

Changsun Yan trembled, then turned her head to look at Chou Nuer, and said coyly, "Your Highness, someone is here... Besides, last night, wasn't it..."

She leaned into Li Ke's ear with a blushing face, and said shyly, "My body is about to fall apart..."

At this moment, Li Ke hurriedly bit ears with Chang Sunyan, then took the opportunity to turn his face away and wink at Chou Nuer.

The smile on the ugly slave's face became stronger, but this time the smile was no longer as mischievous as before.

He nodded, cleared his throat, and said in a rough voice: "Your Highness, that ugly slave has gone down..."

The meaning of what he said was naturally to leave room for Li Ke and his wife to love each other again.

"Oh, don't don't..."

Chang Sunyan stopped him with a blushing face, presumably because she didn't want to leave a bad impression in the eyes of the servants.

Changsun Yan stood up straight again, and took out a letter from her bosom: "Your Highness, I'm here now, I have business to talk about!"

She handed the letter to Li Ke: "This is a letter from my father. He said in the letter that he would come to visit us!"

"Oh?"

Li Ke took the letter paper curiously, and thought to himself, "Sun Wuji, this old boy, what is he going to do?"
Unfolding the letter paper, Li Ke laughed.

It turned out that Li Shimin had announced that Tubo would be placed under the rule of the king of Shu, and Changsun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin were coming to announce the edict.

This is a good thing. Tubo is officially under the name of Li Ke, so that he can govern with peace of mind.

Looking further down, this letter actually explained another matter.

It turned out that Xuanzang, who was on an overseas adventure by boat, had already arrived in America, and he asked someone to send back the corn and potato seeds Li Ke needed.

Li Shimin handed over two bags of seeds to Changsun Wuji and others, asking them to send them to Shu by the way.

"Father said that the two bags of seeds had already been packed together and sent out ahead of time. I think they should be arriving at the station soon..."

Changsun Yan came over, pinched Li Ke's shoulder and said.

Li Ke was shocked by what he said. The two old boys thought they didn't know how important this thing was, so they didn't personally escort it, but just sent the postman to bring it over.

He hurriedly read on, and sure enough, the letter stated that these two bags of seeds had been sent to Shu before writing the letter.

"No! I have to send someone to guard the station. If this thing is lost, it will be troublesome..."

Li Ke quickly stood up and was about to give orders to the guards.

Walking halfway, he stopped again and sighed, "I'd better go and see for myself!"

Others don't understand the importance of this thing. If it is lost or damaged, the loss will be great...

After saying that, Li Ke gave a few words to his eldest son, Sun Yan, and then got up and rushed to the inn.

"Your Highness..."

At this time, Chou Nuer also followed, and he said in a rough voice: "Your Highness... I... I also want to go out for a walk..."

Li Ke turned around and glanced at him, the ugly slave lowered his head: "Usually I don't have a chance to go out...I want to see more people in Sichuan..."

Li Ke is about to take over the plateau, and everything in Shu is related to the future of the plateau, so it's normal for him to think so.

Li Ke beckoned: "Then you follow me..."

Immediately, Li Ke ordered the coachman to come to the carriage, and the two got into the carriage and headed all the way to the post station of Chengdu Mansion.

Along the way, Chou Nuer was always leaning on the car window, staring out.

He seemed to be interested in everything, turning his head and scanning from time to time, as if he wanted to take in the entire Chengdu Prefecture.

Li Ke looked at her with a smile, leaning over to explain to him from time to time.

"These roads are carefully designed by the king, using cement and steel structures..."

"These vendors are all under the unified planning of the king. They can set up stalls here by paying a small management fee every month. My Chengdu mansion regularly sends people to clean up and maintain order..."

"These are newsstands. I print reading materials every month and sell them at a low price to educate the people..."

……

Li Ke wanted to show off, and showed the ugly slave all the facilities and policies of Chengdu Mansion.

Chou Nuer's eyes lit up, pointing at the buildings in the city from time to time, and casting a questioning look at Li Ke.

Tired of watching, he finally retracted his head and collapsed on the carriage.

Ugly Nuer looked dazed and paralyzed for a long time before looking at Li Ke again: "These things... all cost a lot of money, you...how does Your Highness have so much money?"

Li Ke raised his head again and introduced the factories and farms, as well as many of his own products.

At this time, the ugly slave can no longer believe it.The wool sweaters and all kinds of silk cloths that I wear are all produced in Shu.

Thinking about the industries Li Ke mentioned, he can already guess how much money Li Ke can make through these factories.

Li Ke's ability is indeed far beyond ordinary people.

After thinking for a long time, Chou Nuer sighed: "Your Highness is indeed a capable person..."

His compliment was not a heavy one, and was much more subtle than the many compliments Li Ke heard.

But Li Ke has reaped great joy at this time. Conquering a person who doesn't trust him can often bring great refreshment.

Li Ke sat up straight, and said with a smile: "Actually, in terms of wealth alone, the nobles on your plateau are not inferior to this king—you ransacked houses in some cities, but they confiscated a lot of money and jewelry! It's just that the nobles on your plateau don't know how to take For the people, use the principles for the people, and take these wealth as your own..."

"Take it from the people and use it for the people?"

Chou Nuer blinked blankly, lost in thought.
