    On the endless plain, several hares were foraging in the grass. Suddenly, an eagle flew across the sky. The hares below were immediately frightened and fled in all directions. However, one unlucky rabbit failed to escape the eagle in the end.  The eagle climbed up with great strength and was caught in the sky. But just when the eagle took off, suddenly there was a sound of a bowstring in the distance, followed by a sharp arrow. The frightened eagle hurriedly let go of its prey and pointed its sharp arrow.  Howling into the sky.

    "Hahaha~, I'm so lucky today. I picked up such a fat rabbit for nothing!" Two people came galloping on horseback from a distance. When they arrived at the place where the rabbit fell, one of them jumped on the horse.  Leaning down, Jingran just picked up the rabbit on the ground, showing off his extraordinary riding skills.

    "Brother Zhou, the land your family bought is really good. Not only is the land fertile, but there are also a lot of prey. When it is developed in two years, it will definitely be a place to make money!" The young man with extraordinary riding skills came in carrying the rabbit.  Said very excitedly.

    "According to the old saying of Brother Wang, this land was acquired by my third uncle. Although it is in my name now, it is actually managed by my third uncle." Another young man wearing blue cloth and Hu clothes  Iruya smiled.  Although both of them were riding horses and carrying bows and arrows on their backs, and the arrow just now was shot by this young man in Hu clothes, both of them had a bookish look on their faces, and it was obvious at a glance that they were well-established scholars.

    This is the homeland of Goguryeo, which now belongs to the Andong Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty. It is not far from Pyongyang City. Because of the battle to destroy Goguryeo and the post-war slave-trapping team's slave-trading, the land here is more abundant and the income is less.  A lot of land is ownerless wasteland, which can be purchased by anyone willing to pay.

    The two young people talking were not residents of the Anton Protectorate. The young man surnamed Zhou in Hu clothes was named Zhou Wei, and the young man carrying the rabbit was named Wang Luo. They were classmates and friends for many years.  Studying in Chang'an, this time I took advantage of the opportunity to study abroad and went to the Anton Protectorate to visit. This was mainly because Zhou Wei's third uncle transferred the land in Guanzhong here and then spent money to buy a lot of land.  , made a lot of money from the products of these lands, and became a famous big landowner in the Andong Protectorate.

    "Haha, how do you two uncles and nephews distinguish each other? And I heard that Uncle Wang is a big landowner in the Anton Protectorate. He holds thousands of hectares of land in his hands, and he is also planning to go to Taiwan to occupy it.  Don't forget to bring your little brother with you when you get a piece of land, so that our Wang family can also benefit from it." Wang Luo, who was carrying the rabbit, laughed loudly.

    Although Wang Luo's surname is Wang, he is not from the Wang family in Taiyuan, and his home does not have many entrances. It is just a small wealthy family. After coming to the Andong Protectorate this time, he saw that most of the people who had exchanged the land had made a lot of money.  For example, Zhou Wei's third uncle has grown from a small landowner to a large landowner, and his status has increased more than a hundred times. This makes Wang Luo have some activities in his heart, and wants to find a way to make money for his family.

    "It's simple. My third uncle has been sent to Taiwan to understand the situation and will be back soon. When the time comes, Brother Wang just needs to prepare the money and follow my third uncle to Taiwan!" Zhou Wei said very boldly.  Although they are all educated, the rapid development of industry and commerce in recent years, coupled with the influence of newspaper propaganda, makes them less repulsive to these ways of making money than before.

    When Wang Luo heard Zhou Wei agreed, he immediately thanked him with a happy face. At the same time, he was thinking about how to write a letter to his family to persuade them to buy a piece of land in Taiwan. After all, the income there was not much and the land price was very cheap.  If several hundred acres of sugar cane were planted, he could make a lot of money just by boiling sugar every year. This was all information he had read in the newspapers and had been confirmed by other sources.

    The two young men came here mainly for hunting. This was a newly purchased land by Uncle Zhou Weisan. It had not been really developed yet and there were many wild animals, so they quickly hunted a few more small prey, which was enough for them.  After eating a few meals, it seemed that it was almost time for lunch, so the two of them were ready to go back. However, while Wang Luo was walking, he asked Zhou Wei about his third uncle, although he also heard something about Wang Luo's third uncle.  The process of becoming successful is not very detailed.

    Zhou Wei also looked excited when he mentioned his third uncle. There were three brothers in his father's generation. His father was the second in line, but he was the eldest son. There was also an uncle who was a concubine, and he was in the capital of Anton.  The third uncle who protects the mansion is the youngest, and he usually likes food the most. As a result, he grew extremely fat, and became the third fat king when he was in Guanzhong.

    When the imperial court implemented the land exchange policy, Zhou Wei's third uncle resolutely exchanged half of his family's land, despite his eldest brother's objections. As a result, he obtained more than 20,000 acres of land. There were mountains and plains in the land, and the plain areas were all built into pastures.  , and then bought slaves on the grasslands to graze, and prospected for minerals in the mountains. If there were no mines to mine, they would plant fruit trees. If there were mines, they would make a fortune.

    At that time, many people moved to mountainous areas, hoping to find mineral deposits on their own land. Unfortunately, this kind of thing all depends on luck, and Zhou Wei's third uncle was very lucky, so he changedThey came to a few hills and found a large iron ore. As a result, they suddenly became worth a hundred times. After buying the iron ore to a mine owner in Chang'an, he used the money from the sale to buy a lot of land, all of which was used for grazing.  The cattle and sheep on the pasture are sold to canneries, and there is no need to worry about sales. This is why Wang Luo is excited. After all, as long as it is not too unlucky and encounters any large-scale plague, it will definitely be a profitable business.  .

    When the conversation between the two was about to begin, suddenly the horses stopped uneasily. No matter how they urged them, the two horses did not dare to move forward, but kept snoring.  This frightened the two young men, thinking they had encountered some ferocious beast, otherwise these two good horses would never react like this.  But they soon ruled out this cause, because they found that the ground was shaking.

    "Boom, boom~" With the sound of iron hoofs like thunder, a huge army seemed to be rushing from the end, and it could not be seen at a glance. Wang Luo and Zhou Wei were startled at first, but then  Everyone was relieved when they saw the flags flying in the army. Although they didn't know which general led this army, it was definitely the army of the Tang Dynasty.

    However, when the army approached, Zhou Weiliang discovered something strange. This army seemed to have at least ten thousand soldiers, and it was definitely the Tang army. However, on the flag of this Tang army, there was a big "  The word "Qi" made both of them a little confused. Among the generals who can mobilize more than 10,000 people in the Anton Protectorate, it seems that none of them has the surname Qi?

    But they soon solved their doubts, because Zhou Wei suddenly discovered that in the middle of the army, there was a tall and luxurious car, and around the car were all cavalry guards. They knew the car without asking.  Zhongjin's status was very noble, and judging from the decoration on the car, he belonged to the rank of Prince of the Tang Dynasty. This made the two men understand at once that the person in the car must be His Royal Highness Prince Qi across the sea.

    "Brother Zhou, why did His Highness Prince Qi suddenly come to us, and it seems like he is going to Pyongyang City, and with such an army, could it be that something happened in Pyongyang City?" Wang Luo asked nervously  He said that the Anton Protectorate was the frontier of the Tang Dynasty. Although a large army was stationed in Pyongyang City, they would be in danger if there was any war.

    Zhou Wei was also shocked after hearing this. Most of his third uncle's property is here. If something happens in Pyongyang, it will be terrible.  But he quickly dismissed this idea and said: "Brother Wang, don't worry, Pyongyang City has an army of 50,000 under Zhang Jian's protection, and Silla and Baekje in the east are fighting to the death and have no power at all.  They don¡¯t have the guts to mess with our Tang Dynasty, so it¡¯s definitely not the war in Pyongyang!¡±

    Wang Luo was right when he thought about it. Silla and Baekje have been fighting for almost a year. With their national strength, they probably only have half a life left. How can they cause trouble? In the hometown of the three Koreas, except for that  Apart from the two countries, there is no country that can threaten Datang.

    "Oh! I understand!" Zhou Wei suddenly shouted excitedly.

    "Brother Zhou, what do you understand?" Wang Luo was startled, but seeing the other person's excitement, he still asked curiously.

    Zhou Wei became even more excited, pointing to the large carriage in the middle of the army: "Brother Wang, look, are there any differences in the cavalry guards next to the carriage?"

    Wang Luo looked around as he said, and found something different. Among the cavalry guards beside the carriage, there were actually some knights with different armor styles. At first glance, it was not the standard equipment of the Tang Dynasty.

    Seeing that Wang Luo also noticed the difference, Zhou Wei said with excitement: "Brother Wang, those different knights are from Xinluo. The newspaper sent from Pyongyang City a few days ago said that His Highness King Qi and Xinluo  Queen Luo is married, so it is obvious that His Highness King Qi must have sent out troops to escort the Queen back to the country, but I don¡¯t know if His Highness King Qi is in the car?"

    Wang Luo was also very excited when he heard this. He and Zhou Wei carefully looked at the military carriage. He didn't do it for any other reason. He just wanted to meet the rumored Queen of Silla. According to other legends, the Queen of Silla was a  Peerless beauties, he and Zhou Wei are both young and naturally very interested in these.

    ????????????????????????? But the young people who are about to enter Jinyao are destined to be disappointed. They are too far away from the carriage, so even if the Queen of Silla opens the window, they cannot see the people inside.

    As Zhou Wei had guessed, this team was indeed under the guise of escorting Jin Shengman back to the car, and both Li Min and Jin Shengman were in the car. However, if it was just an escort, there would be no need to dispatch a team of soldiers.  More than ten thousand soldiers and horses, and there was no need to pass by land. The reason why they came to Pyongyang naturally had other purposes.  (To be continued)
