The ace special forces of the Sui Dynasty

Liu Ziqiu said decisively: "No!"

He is the emperor, and theoretically speaking, all the maids and maids in the harem are his women.Although Liu Ziqiu has been unwilling to expand the size of the harem, the total number of women in the harem is over a thousand.If these are all his women, I am afraid that most of them will not be able to name them. Doesn't this correspond to those jokes in history?The most important thing is that Liu Ziqiu came from later generations, and he would not treat women like a piece of clothing. Even these women, he felt a little unable to take care of them, so he was not willing to continue to expand his harem.

Hua Yun clung to Liu Ziqiu's ear and whispered, "Does the Emperor want her to become a moldy spinster?"

This is a nasty joke that Liu Ziqiu told Hua Yun.In the era before Liu Ziqiu traveled, there were countless versions of vulgar dirty jokes circulating on the dinner table and in text messages.The barracks are full of young men who are full of vigor and have nowhere to vent their strength. After the lights are turned off at night, they will inevitably speak a few paragraphs.Of course, after time travel, Liu Ziqiu's identity is different, so these jokes can't be told casually outside.Not even at home.Because most of his women are well-educated, such as Xie Muyu, who has never uttered a single dirty word since she was a child.Although Gao Xiu'er also lived at the bottom of society for a while, but after all her family education, she would not listen to Liu Ziqiu's jokes.Only Hua Yun, who disguised herself as a man and mingled with vulgar men in the military camp, could have a few words with Liu Ziqiu.

This joke was originally just that Hua Yun mentioned that there was a woman in her hometown who was ugly and had a bad temper, so she never married, and she was lonely and helpless when she was old.At that time, Liu Ziqiu remembered the previous joke, and said casually, then she is an old maid, and no one below has used it, so she must be moldy.Unexpectedly, Hua Yun put this metaphor on Wang Yufeng.

Liu Ziqiu glanced at Wang Yufeng who was kneeling on the ground again, and unconsciously shook his head.With such an enchanting woman, those who are willing to marry her will probably line up in a long line, and they will not become spinsters.

Hua Yun has already continued to say: "She is different from the other maidservants around the concubine, the emperor can't let her out of the palace."

Liu Ziqiu had stipulated that the maidservants in the palace must be dismissed after they reach the age of 24 at most, and the palace will distribute silver taels for them to choose husbands and marry them.Moreover, Liu Ziqiu did exactly this. Every year, some court ladies would be dismissed and married off to the common people.These court ladies have been in the palace for many years, and they have accumulated some wealth and received special funds from the palace.Moreover, they were originally beautiful, but after learning the etiquette in the palace, their temperament became even more outstanding, and no one disliked whether they were virgins or not.Of course, men who marry these court ladies will find that they have won big prizes, and those court ladies are actually perfect.This further made these disbanded court ladies more sought-after, and some even made marriage arrangements with the parents of those court ladies in advance.

However, as Hua Yun said, even if all the maids are released from the palace, at least Wang Yufeng is not eligible because she is Wang Shichong's daughter.Of course, when Wang Shichong is really old and all his ambitions are wiped out, it doesn't matter if Wang Yufeng is released from the palace.It's just that by that time, Wang Yufeng might really become an old maid.

Seeing the tangled expression on Liu Ziqiu's face, Hua Yun whispered again: "There is something even more different. The bottom of her is also golden, just like her hair."

Liu Ziqiu usually tells Hua Yun some nasty jokes just to adjust the mood, but now he is aroused by Hua Yun's nasty words.He was not a hypocritical person, and he had adapted to his current position long ago, and he didn't need to pretend to be arrogant, so he nodded slightly.

Seeing that he finally agreed, Hua Yun felt a little disappointed.But women in this era are always used to putting themselves in a subordinate position, even if Hua Yun is a female general, there are only a few people like Fan Lihua.Hua Yun sighed in her heart, then said to Wang Yufeng: "Silly girl, please thank the emperor soon."

Wang Yufeng was still apprehensive at first, but after hearing Hua Yun's words, she couldn't help but smile, and said a deep blessing: "My servant thanked the Lord for your kindness."

Liu Ziqiu also raised his hand helplessly. A girl like a flower wants to commit herself and thank her for her kindness. This evil old age!When he turned his head again, Hua Yun had quietly retreated out with the maidservants, leaving only him and Wang Yufeng in the whole garden.At this time, Liu Ziqiu no longer suppressed his desire, grabbed Wang Yufeng's slender waist, hugged her horizontally, and stepped into a palace room. What it looks like is not enough for outsiders to know.

……

Liu Ziqiu got a beautiful woman, but he didn't indulge in it.The next day, he ordered someone to find Pegg, reprimanded him, and then sent someone to "send" him out of Dahan.The so-called gift, of course, is to send troops to escort.However, Liu Ziqiu also made a promise to the Byzantine Empire that he would not intervene in the war between them and the Persians.On the other hand, Liu Ziqiu also agreed to conduct direct trade with the Byzantine Empire and sell them a batch of military supplies.

Pegg didn't really believe Liu Ziqiu's words.Because there is still a Persian Sasanian dynasty between the Han Dynasty and Byzantium, King Kuslao II will never allow the military supplies of the Han Dynasty to be transported to the Byzantine Empire through their borders.Of course, the big Han can also choose to transship through the West Turkic Grassland.It's just that the environment of that piece of grassland is extremely harsh, and it's not suitable to be used as a trade route, otherwise, wouldn't there be another Silk Road.

However, Liu Ziqiu was confident.He had just obtained the secret office, and Chen Ling's navy had already bypassed Africa and arrived in the distant Mediterranean Sea.Just out of safety considerations, Chen Ling did not let the navy land immediately, but returned to the small military port just established in Northwest Africa by the same route.

Without logistical supplies, no matter how powerful the fleet is, it will be difficult to exert its combat power.If a certain grand duke on the Mediterranean coast suddenly had bad intentions, the big man's expeditionary navy would have no chance of winning.

For Chen Leng's cautiousness, Liu Ziqiu appreciated it very much.He didn't expect to be able to open up such a route in a short period of time, and he didn't want the most advanced navigation technology at that time to flow to the West due to the defeat of the navy.Liu Ziqiu, who came from later generations, is very aware of the significance of the ocean, and has already listed navigation technology as one of the country's most important secrets.Before Chen Leng and the others set off, Liu Ziqiu specifically explained that once the fleet encounters an accident, the charts and compass must be destroyed first.Of course, the accident here means that the entire fleet may be destroyed, otherwise, they will not be able to return without the compass and chart.

Now, the sea route bypassing Africa to the west has been established, all Liu Ziqiu needs to do is to form one or several sea caravans.The sea caravan will get some charts, and will also be protected and supplied by the Han Navy along the route.Moreover, Liu Ziqiu also allowed these caravans to have their own armed forces.

As for whether anyone is willing to form such a caravan, Liu Ziqiu is not worried.The people in the world are bustling around, just for the word "profit", if you give him ten times the profit, he is willing to take the risk of beheading.A good example is the gold and diamond mines located in South West Africa.Those mines are all in very desolate areas, and there are cannibals around, but they still attract many people to mine.Because according to the agreement, they only need to hand over half of the mined gold or diamonds, and the rest will belong to them personally.This is caused by the attraction of "profit".

In fact, the gold or diamonds mined by these people eventually flowed back to Dahan.Because in that desolate land, no matter how much gold or diamonds a person owns, he cannot live the life he wants. Only by returning to the land of Dahan can he realize his dream.And these people who returned from the African gold diggers spent a lot of money, spending money like water, and soon attracted more people to join their ranks.

However, before announcing the route to the west and forming a caravan, Liu Ziqiu still has many other things to do. The first thing is to choose a county horse for the "Jiangdu Princess".

……

Of course, this princess of Jiangdu was not Wang Yufeng, but Hua Yun had carefully selected those Byzantine women sent by Shi Danai.Although these Byzantine women were beautiful, they were actually born in ordinary families and had low status in the empire. Some were free citizens, and some were even serfs on the land of dukes and earls.

The woman selected by Hua Yun was the daughter of a serf.According to the laws of the empire, the descendants of serfs could only become slaves.If she hadn't been selected as a gift to the Western Turks, she would have continued to work hard for the Marquis Ashan, who held that land, just like her fathers did. Exercise the right of first night.Now she was selected by Hua Yun and told her that she could become a princess.Although the princess is a fake, she can still enjoy the glory and wealth, and can still be a servant, so how could she not agree?

To be selected by Hua Yun, this Byzantine girl is not only outstanding in appearance, she is also very talented in languages. In just one month, she has been able to speak fluent Chinese, which is very important.Because Wang Yufeng grew up in the Central Plains, if she can't even speak Chinese fluently, it will be easy to be seen through.

In order to make her look more like her, Hua Yun also arranged for her to live with Wang Yufeng for more than ten days.Of course, it was impossible for Hua Yun to tell her that the beauty opposite was her impostor.Just tell her, that is the example she learns from.After half a month, except for the big difference in appearance, this Byzantine girl is completely like a person who has lived in Dahan for many years.

And on this day, Hua Yun personally brought her to the son-in-law selection meeting.
