Changan sits on the ground and scolds the King of Jin

"Yes, Chief Steward!"

Li Chongyi, Cheng Chusi and other side generals all responded quickly.

"The army will prepare for five days, and then send out scouts to explore the country of these barbarians to the west!"

Li Ji ordered again.

"Yes, Chief Steward!"

This time, Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and other generals were all excited.

Attacking the huge thief country, although it was only a tentative attack, made their blood boil.

However, what Li Ji and others did not expect was that they still underestimated the fame of this great thief army in the Western Regions.

After they slaughtered this large army of thieves who were causing harm to various small countries, the reputation of the King of the Tang Dynasty spread everywhere like a strong wind. In less than two days, the princes of the surrounding small countries sent their troops one after another. Envoys came to see him with carts full of gifts.

Unlike the large army of thieves who had just arrived, the heads of these small countries in the Western Regions still had a certain understanding of the distant Eastern Tang Dynasty.

You know, it is a powerful country that cannot be provoked.

Therefore, Li Ji spent several days summoning the heads of states or envoys from the small countries in the Western Regions one by one before he reorganized his army and set off.

However, when we set off again, our army doubled in size!

…

In a blink of an eye, several months passed by.

Entering the eleventh year of Zhenguan.

The entire Tang Dynasty completely entered the golden age of Zhenguan.

In the states and counties surrounding Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, thousands more cement houses were built.

In Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty, there were also ten six-story concrete buildings in Anyefang near Taiji Palace.

Moreover, this cement building has long been sold to officials who have no houses to live in Chang'an City.

In the past few days, the construction of these cement houses has been completed, and only the final repairs are left.

After hearing the news, all the officials from the three provinces and six departments of the Tang Dynasty were filled with excitement.

After setting the value, everyone rushed to Anyefang impatiently.

A row of ten six-story cement buildings are neatly arranged in Anyefang, and each craftsman is working hard to repair them.

The eyes of all the officials became brighter and brighter the more they looked at it.

Although it is still a bit dirty and messy, from bottom to top, each house has three or four rooms, which are much larger than the house they rent now. Any crowded places.

The most important thing is that these houses are their own and their names are written on the deeds.

"It's wonderful. Who would have thought that I could buy such a spacious house in Chang'an City, and in Anyefang, for only twenty-two guan?"

"Poor me, I've spent dozens of dollars renting a house in Chang'an City in the past two years!"

"Moreover, it is a house made of cement, so solid..."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"..."

The more they watched, the more excited the officials became.

At the same time, everyone felt relieved.

Your Majesty did not lie to them, and Prime Minister Du did not lie to them. They only spent more than 20 yuan to buy such a large house in Chang'an City!

All the way back to their respective homes, all the officials were still beaming with joy.

"Lu Yuanwailang?"

Lu Xuanzhong, the current official of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, had just returned to Yong'anfang from Anyefang. He was still immersed in the good mood that the cement house was about to be completed. But before he entered the rented house compound, he was called by a familiar voice. live.

Lu Xuanzhong's expression changed, and he quickly sneered and bowed slightly to the middle-aged woman standing at the door who was stronger and taller than the generals in the court.

"I've met Mrs. An!"

"Seeing that Mr. Lu is looking so bright, something happy must be coming soon. I would like to congratulate Mr. Lu first!"

Mrs. An smiled slightly and saluted Li Luxuanzhong.

"Thank you, Mrs. An, for your kind words, but Mr. Lu..."

Lu Xuanzhong was just about to explain, but Mrs. An in front of him waved her hand with an impatient look on her face.

"Uncle Lu, without further ado, it's almost the end of the month. I'm here to wait for Mr. Lu. It's time for me to give you the rent for next month!"

"This, Mrs. An..."

Lu Xuanzhong was startled, his eyes filled with astonishment.

"It's not even halfway through this month, why is Mrs. An so anxious?"

Hearing this, the flesh on Mrs. An's face trembled, and her face was filled with grievances.

"Young Master Lu don't want to renew the lease? It's freezing today, and I'm alone and helpless. Why don't I buy more charcoal to burn the house and keep you guys warmer?"

In addition, under such weather, it is the most comfortable time to eat hot pot. If I don't go there every few days, I will be haunted by dreams, the food will be tasteless, and I can't sleep at night. Lu Yuanwailang is so cruel that he can't tolerate my body shape.

Losing weight day by day?”

Lu Xuanzhong: "..."

Subconsciously, my whole body shivered from top to bottom.

Although people in the Tang Dynasty regarded plumpness and roundness as beauty, the figure of Mrs. An in front of her was equivalent to that of three beauties, which was already too much!

Now, even though she has her husband's family, her husband's family left a lot of property to Mrs. An in Chang'an City. However, with Mrs. An's strong character, no one dares to marry her, and no one dares to provoke her!

Especially Lu Xuanzhong, even though he was a senior official of the Ministry of Punishment, a sixth-grade official, he did not dare to provoke him and had to pay the rent to Mrs. An honestly.

"Please rest assured, Madam An, I will go back and prepare eight hundred dollars and give it to Madam!"

"consistent!"

Mrs. An glanced at Lu Xuanzhong coldly and said slowly.

"consistent?"

Lu Xuanzhong was startled again, with a look of disbelief on his face, "Mrs. An, I was transferred to Chang'an City the year before last and have been living in her house.

The year before last it was only 500 Wen per month, last year it was 700 Wen, and this year it was 800 Wen. Why did it suddenly rise to the same level today?

There are so many, is it a bit expensive?”

"Expensive?"

Mrs. An sneered, "How fast are the prices of houses in Chang'an City rising now? Don't you know that Lu Yuanwai Lang is not aware of it? The rents for the dozen or so houses in this concubine are the lowest in Yong'an Fang! The houses of the Li family next door have already risen.

At the price of twelve hundred yuan, if Lu Yuanwailang thinks my house is expensive, he can look for her elsewhere!"

Indeed, even if compared to the entire city of Chang'an, the rents for the dozen or so houses owned by Mrs. An in Yong'anfang are the lowest.

Therefore, Mrs. An is not afraid that Lu Xuanzhong will give up her house and look for another house.

It's a pity that Mrs. An miscalculated this time!

In front of her, the Lu Yuanwai Lang, who had been in poverty for more than two years, actually raised his hand to her without any fear and bowed slightly: "Lu, thank you for taking care of Mrs. An these three years!"

Mrs. An was surprised, "What does Mr. Lu mean by this?"

"Back to Mrs. An, Lu has purchased a house in Anyefang and will move out by the end of the month!"

"Anyefang?"

A look of surprise flashed through Mrs. An's eyes again. Anyefang is closer to Taiji Palace and Zhuque Street than Yong'an Square where she is. Naturally, the house prices in Anyefang are much higher than hers.

Could it be that the seemingly honest Lu Yuanwai Lang in front of me is also greedy for ink?

Thinking about it, Mrs. An couldn't help but look Lu Xuanzhong up and down.

"Lu Yuanwailang actually bought a house? I wonder how much it cost? Could it be that he was deceived?"

"Thank you, Mrs. An, for your concern. Your Majesty is so kind that he couldn't bear that these officials like us had no houses to live in in Chang'an City, so he built ten cement houses for us and others in Anyefang!"

Lu Xuanzhong explained.

"Are those ten cement houses in Anyefang really built for officials like you?"

Hearing this, Mrs. An's face was full of disbelief.

Nowadays, cement houses are extremely popular in Chang'an City. Mrs. An naturally knows about the ten six-story cement houses in Anyefang.

"Exactly!"

Lu Xuanzhong straightened his back and looked proud.

This is the first time in the past three years that he has been so confident in front of Mrs. An!

"His Majesty……"
