A few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, my father took a boat to Qinzhou.

The old man was in high spirits, got off the boat and looked at the port left and right, and was amazed at Li Chao who came to greet him. "It is said that Qinzhou Port rose overnight, and the prophecy was like a myth, saying that you would gather sand to form towers, sprinkle beans to become soldiers, and there were also paper-cutters to work as laborers to help build cities."

Li Chao laughed, "It would be great if you really have this ability."

Several slave ships arrived in the port, and teams of Kunlun slaves disembarked with their scaffoldings.

"Spread beans into soldiers, but they should be these Kunlun slaves, right?" asked the father.

"Qinzhou Port was built so quickly, these people have also made a lot of efforts."

The father looked at these people carefully, "It seems to be a little different from the Kunlun slaves before?"

"Dad, the Kunlun slaves in Chang'an were mainly from the islands in the South Ocean and the Indian lands. Now, these Kunlun slaves are from the Persian Gulf and are from the continent south of Persia. These people are darker, more gentle, and more strong."

My dad was very satisfied with it.

"Can you get me a few thousand?"

"How many thousand?" Li Chao was also surprised when he heard this. My father's territory was not very big, it cost several thousand at once, which is quite a lot.

"The Luo Ling is more lively now." My father is relatively low-key.

The positioning given by Li Chao of Shangluo was an important trading point with Xiqi. It was outside the Great Wall, but it was close to Youji, Hebei and not far from Yingzhou in western Liaoning. There was also the benefit of river transportation, and logistics transportation was more convenient. In addition, the old man was still very trustworthy in trading with the barbarians, and the public security in Shangluo was also good, so the foreigners were willing to go to the transaction.

My father followed Li Chao, not only developed the market, but also carried out processing and manufacturing. Shangluo has now become a handicraft commodity production town. A large number of handicraft daily necessities are produced here and then wholesale to the northern part of the fur, livestock, etc. purchased on the market are also processed here, leather, wool spinning, even jerky, milk powder, canned food, etc., which is quite large.

My father is still mining and reclamation in the territory, which is completely based on the plan planned by Li Chao. Now it is developing rapidly, but manpower cannot keep up.

It takes a lot of people to engage in manual manufacturing, and mining requires people to do it.

In fact, ordinary people should be satisfied with the development of the Luo Division now. They still talk about money every day, and they are simply flowing gold and silver, but my father is very active in making money now.

"Qian Niang is pregnant again, and your aunt is also there." Dad laughed.

"Dad, you took a concubine?"

My father nodded embarrassedly. Taking a concubine was Qi Niang. My father was also a dignified Duke and had such a large fiefdom. Now he is living a prosperous life, just a wife, and the rumor about it outside is not nice. After Qi Niang became pregnant, she took the initiative to take two concubines for her father.

My father had refused, but Qi Niang persuaded her and accepted her.

"Congratulations, Dad, why didn't you send me a letter to notify me? I'll give you a gift."

The father glared at Li Chao, "This is not a big deal."

Taking a concubine is indeed not a big deal, and he is not a daughter of a wealthy family. Qi Niang chose him as the daughter of two businessmen. She has a lot of business in Shangluo. The family is rich but has a low status. They have always wanted to make friends with their fathers. This marriage is also beneficial to the territory.

My father is really rejuvenating now. He has a young son who is only a few years old at home. Now his wife and concubines are pregnant again. When my father heard that Li Chao is booming, he went south to buy some slaves and come here to invest some money to buy some industries.

The territory will be inherited by Li Yue in the future. No matter whether the two people are pregnant now are men or women, my father will have to buy some industries for them.

After hearing this, Li Chao just smiled.

My father still has a relatively traditional idea and is in good health, so he thought about buying more industries for his children.

"There are indeed some slaves here. In fact, if you just come and send a letter, I will do it all for you."

Nowadays, Qinzhou has become the largest slave trading center in the Tang Dynasty. Every day, slave ships come from the sea and then by the port in Qinzhou. There is a special slave trading shop in Dongcheng District, where a large number of slaves are auctioned and traded here every day. Merchants from all over the country will quickly load and ship away after taking over the slaves.

The reason why Qinzhou is so popular is mainly because of the many policies issued by Li Chao.

Qinzhou is currently the only place that exempts slave ships from tariffs and slave transactions from taxes. In addition, it is an emerging port coming from the Southern Sea, which has made it a popular slave market today.

Even the Nanyang Company is now involved in this hot trade, with a special fleet of transporting slaves.

"Dad, if you want to buy some industries here, I suggest you build a port directly."

"Building a port requires a lot of money, right?"

"There is actually not much money. If you choose a good harbor, you don't need to build it in one step, just a little bit. You don't even have to worry about it. You can leave this aspect to a special builder."

Li Ji Money House and Li Ji Construction have several newly established Li Ji Shipping and other businesses, which now provide one-stop services for those old people who come to Lingnan to invest.

They only need to provide a start-up capital, and then Li Ji will provide them with a loan. After Li Ji Buying Li Ji Shipping gets the first fund, they can start designing and building it for them, whether it is a manor, a small castle, a port or a wharf. They can even advance funds in the future. After the construction is completed, they do not have to be paid in one go, and they can pay in installments.

This model is not seen in the Central Plains, because Lingnan is now very popular and you can make money by investing anyway. For example, building a planting manor or a port commercial town, you are not afraid of not being able to recover your capital.

Of course, Li Ji's business model actually doesn't have to worry about losing money. Because although he only received a sum of funds, he had industrial mortgage guarantees. Those who could come to Lingnan to invest a large amount of money were all the nobles and powerful people in the Central Plains. Once the investment really failed, Li Ji would not lose money.

And they made money, and Li Ji also made money on construction fees and loan interest.

Li Ji didn't do it directly by himself, and it actually meant to share risks. Only when everyone participates can they become really popular. Li Chao chose a location for his father, Fangchenggang, not far southwest of Qinzhou Port.

In later generations, Fangchenggang was one of the twenty best seaports on China's coastal coast, and was a natural and excellent deep-water port. The port was built first and then the city was built, and it was the most southwestern port in China.

But now this is just a fishing village.

But here is the advantage of being close to Qinzhou Port, which can radiate over.

The port may not necessarily start with such a large investment as Qinzhou. You can take it slowly and start with a small port and small commercial town.

"Let's go back and take a look." The father was a little moved.

Back from the pier, Pingyang came to pay a visit.

She bowed and shouted, "Dad", but Dad responded a little unnaturally.

Lunch was also cooked by Ping Yang himself. He cooked eight dishes and his cooking skills were pretty good.

After eating, my father exclaimed, Pingyang smiled.

After dinner, the prince came over.

"Teacher, the old general is here, why don't you tell me?" The prince complained that Li Chao did not inform him. He was quite close to his father, although he was a little scared by his one-eyed eye when he first met Lao Tieqin.

Cheng Qian chatted with Lao Tieqian for a while and was very happy.

Lao Tieqian went to rest, Li Chao and Chengqian were walking and talking.

"Your Highness, the Xian family is going to take action, probably in these two days."

"Aren't they going this way after all?" Cheng Qian sighed. He knew that Li Chao had been waiting for the Xian family to take action, so he waited for it. This was a trap. The Feng family was seeking death when they took action.

"We can control the situation, right?"

"sure."

······

Gaozhou, clouds open at the foot of the mountain, by the Maoming River.

In the Feng family's castle, all branches have come.

Preparation is coming soon, and the army is now on the rise.

"Tang Ting is so aggressive, we have to rebel!"

"Reverse!"

·······

On August 13, the Xian family of Liyao, Gaozhou raised troops to rebel. Some people in Gaozhou City cooperated with each other and they captured Gaozhou.

When the news reached Qinzhou, Feng Ang immediately paid a visit to Chengqian and Li Chao, and requested to go to Gaozhou to persuade Xian's house to surrender.

"Governor Feng, your loyalty is deeply touched by His Royal Highness and Someone. Very well, I will entrust you to serve as a pacifier to go to Gaozhou to persuade him to surrender."

Li Chao agreed to Feng Ang's request unexpectedly, and even asked Feng Ang's sons and his uncles to accompany him to Gaozhou to persuade him to surrender.

"Aiding emergency is like putting out a fire. The official requested to set off to Gaozhou today." Feng Ang was excited and asked again.

"Okay." Li Chao also agreed again.

"The emperor is leaving!" Feng Ang bowed and retreated.

The Guangxi Xuanfu Envoy said anxiously, "King of Yue, the Xian family can take Gaozhou if they raise an army, must be the Feng family who is the inner supporter. You must not let Feng Ang return to Gaozhou at this time, this is the return of the tiger to the mountain!"

Li Chao smiled and said, "No, I am playing hard to get. Now the only one who rebels against the Xian family. Even if we send troops to pacify the Xian family, we can't do anything to the Feng family. But we all know that this military chaos was instructed by the Feng family. If the Feng family is not eliminated for a day, Lingnan will be in a day of rest, and it will be a pacification for a day of hard to get."

"But if Feng Ang is let go, can he still catch him?"

Li Chao smiled slightly, of course he could.

He spoke, "Feng Ang can't escape from my palm."

As soon as Feng Ang returned home, he immediately summoned his uncles, sons and nephews at home and told them to pack up and leave now.

"Let's go right away, no matter what."

The moment he beat the horse out of Qinzhou Yacheng, Feng Ann suddenly felt the pleasure of a tiger breaking out of the cage.

The fast horse galloped for a day.

Stopped before dark.

In front of a city, a group of people galloped out.

"Is the one who comes in front of you the governor Feng?"

Feng Ang was alert in his heart, "Is that Feng Ang!"

"Governor Feng, King Yue has an order, please return to Qinzhou immediately!"

The messenger took out the warrant.

Feng Ang's face was extremely gloomy. He was silent for a while and shook his head.

"No, the prince and the King of Yue appointed me as the appeasement envoy of Gaozhou and sent me to Gaozhou."

"Governor Feng, King Yue now asks you to return to Qinzhou immediately!"
