Chapter 248 What the hell is Japan? I’m fighting against Japan!

In fact, generally speaking, as a woman of this era, and a lady from a prominent family, Pei Xueqing did not mind having several women around Li Xiang. It could even be said that if the three of them did not get pregnant in the next six months, Pei Xueqing would take the initiative to arrange for Li Xiang to find a few more good ladies.

There was nothing else to say. After hearing so many stories about Empress Chang Sun, Pei Xueqing had become familiar with her words and deeds.

However, her personality is quite similar to that of Empress Changsun, so there is no question of whether she has learned well or not.

After all, Li Xiang is different from his father. He likes virtuous women like Pei Xueqing and will not distance himself from his wife just because her personality is like that of Empress Changsun.

Of course, the standard for evaluating a good woman from ancient times to the present is virtue. If you think that women should not be "bound" by such standards, then men should not be bound by stereotypes such as being responsible, motivated, and gentlemanly.

Pei Xueqing didn't mind the fact that Li Mingda gave women to Li Xiang, but what touched her most was that Li Xiang cared very much about her feelings.

This is extremely valuable.

Although Li Xiang is a modern man, as the saying goes, we should analyze specific issues specifically and look at problems in the context of the times.

My family really has a throne waiting to be passed down, and you want me to have a queen after me, right?
Well, as for why Li Chengqian only has three women, those who understand will understand.

Before he...

There was a cloud in the northwest sky, and Aye fell into the group of male and female friends!
"I like this name. Call me that twice again." Li Xiang smiled and pinched Pei Xueqing's round and smooth earlobe with his fingertips.

Pei Xueqing's face flushed with shame. She just spoke unconsciously out of emotion. Now she was asked to scream again, but she absolutely couldn't.

"If my husband wants to hear it, let's wait until late at night when everyone is asleep." Pei Xueqing said in a low voice.

"Then I will let you go for now." Li Xiang smiled and rubbed Pei Xueqing's pretty face with his nose.

Pei Xueqing gave Li Xiang a cold look. This little bastard really dared to say anything in broad daylight.

"Aren't you going to Jingzhao Prefecture? Why are you still staying here?" she asked.

"Since Uncle Six wants to watch the polo match, I'll go with him. There's nothing to do in Jingzhao Prefecture anyway." Li Xiang said with a smile, "Where are the sea charts I drew before? Where did you put them?"

"Baoqin, go get the sea chart drawn by His Highness." Pei Xueqing said with his head held high.

"Yes." Baoqin left in a hurry, and soon came back with several nautical charts.

Li Xiang took a quick look at the map, selected a few sea charts suitable for Li Yin to explore, and returned the rest to Baoqin.

"Put the rest back the same way they came." Li Xiang ordered.

After Baoqin left, Pei Xueqing came up and asked curiously, "What are these?"

"Japanese sea charts." Li Xiang smiled and waved the sea charts: "See, this is the silver mine, this is the copper mine, and this is the gold mine. They are all good lands."

"Eh?" Pei Xueqing immediately became interested: "Are these all Japanese mineral deposits?"

"Yes, they haven't discovered it yet." Li Xiang said with a smile.

"Well, I understand." Pei Xueqing touched his hair and said, "If these mineral deposits are abandoned in Japan, wouldn't the precious pearls be covered in dust?"

"What does the lady mean?" Li Xiang asked subconsciously.

"Such mineral deposits should belong to our Tang Dynasty. How can we give them to the Japanese?" Pei Xueqing said in a firm tone.

Li Xiang turned his head in astonishment and looked at Pei Xueqing.

Pei Xueqing felt a little uncomfortable with his gaze: "What's that look?"

"Nothing, I just think my wife is very insightful." Li Xiang smiled and leaned close to Pei Xueqing's face and kissed her.

Pei Xueqing laughed and shook her head: "I am just a woman's opinion. If these mineral deposits can be owned by the Tang Dynasty, won't they belong to our descendants in the future?"

Oh, Li Xiang finally understood.

"So sister is planning to make preparations for our son?" Li Xiang asked with a wicked smile next to Pei Xueqing's ear.

When Pei Xueqing heard Li Xiang's words, her cheeks suddenly turned red.

The beauty was not afraid of the stage, but said: "Xiang'er, you have to work hard. I really want to give you more sons."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiang picked up Pei Xueqing horizontally without saying a word.

"You, what are you doing?" Pei Xueqing asked in astonishment.

"Of course I tried hard..." Li Xiang laughed.

"It's daytime, how could you..." Pei Xueqing stretched out her hand and gently hit Li Xiang on the shoulder.

"During the day? What's wrong with during the day?" Li Xiang smiled and just took a step back when he heard someone outside shouting that His Royal Highness the King of Shu wanted to see him.

Damn it, you Li Laoliu...

Li Xiang had no choice but to let his wife go.

"I'll deal with you, this demon, when I come back." Li Xiang sighed. This bastard Li Laoliu came at a really bad time. No wonder Li Shimin scolded him!
Pei Xueqing smiled softly, kissed Li Xiang on the forehead, and said softly: "Sixth Uncle is still waiting for you, go early and come back early."

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon." Li Xiang made an OK gesture and turned away.

When he arrived at the door, Li Xiang saw Li Yin still wandering around.

"Brother, here." Li Yin pointed to his forehead.

Li Xiang walked over and flicked the ball at the spot where Li Yin pointed.

This time, there is a bit of personal grudge.

"Ouch, what are you doing?" Li Yin covered his forehead and said indignantly: "I mean, there is a lip mark here..."

"Oh? Oh..." Li Xiang finally reacted and was kissed by his wife before leaving.

He quickly raised his sleeves and wiped his forehead roughly.

"Haha, I thought you wanted me to play you." Li Xiang said with an awkward but polite smile.

Li Yin: …

I suspect you did it on purpose, but I have no evidence.

"In the end, brother is really lucky in love." Li Yan said with a smile: "Just now when I came back from my mother's place, I saw sister Sizi telling my father that she would find you a good wife. It is said that she is very beautiful..."

"Well, actually I don't care whether a woman is pretty or not. Anyway, none of them are as pretty as my sister." Li Xiang said.

"Indeed, it doesn't matter whether a woman is pretty or not." Li Yin echoed, "But then again, women are really troublesome. I just can't understand what they are thinking."

"Why do you say that?" Li Xiang asked. "Take my wife for example, I don't understand whether she wants it or not. Sometimes she says yes, and she means yes; sometimes she says no, and she still means yes, but sometimes she says yes, and she means no, it's just a joke..." Li Yin said with emotion.

"Whether it is necessary or not depends on the context." Li Xiang said from the perspective of a person who has experienced it: "Why don't you give an example?"

"Just like she and I are good friends..."

Before Li Yin could finish his words, he was interrupted by Li Xiang.

"Okay, okay, Sixth Uncle, let's not talk about this anymore. I'm telling you, saying no at this time actually means you want it," Li Xiang explained to him.

"Really?" Li Yan's body trembled.

"It must be taken seriously." Li Xiang nodded with a smile.

"Alas." Li Yan waved his hand: "Forget it, let's not talk about this. Women are really too troublesome."

"Why else do you think my father was obsessed with little boys?" Li Xiang laughed.

"Man-girl?" Li Yin asked suspiciously, "What is a man-girl?"

"It's a man who looks exactly like a woman." Li Xiang explained to him.

After hearing what Li Xiang said, Li Yin vomited.

"Fuck, that's disgusting."

"Who said it wasn't? How disgusting..." Li Xiang also shook his head and sighed, "But then again, aren't men the ones who understand men best?"

"What about women? Do women understand women?" Li Yin asked.

"No, women don't even understand themselves, let alone other women." Li Xiang shook his head and said, "Let's talk about something happy, such as sea charts."

As Li Xiang spoke, he took out several prepared nautical charts from his arms.

"Here, Uncle Six." Li Xiang handed the sea chart to Li Yin: "Take a look, these are all big deals."

When he heard about the big deal, Li Yin's eyes turned into the round holes in the Kaiyuan Tongbao coins.

"Big deal?!" Li Yin took the sea chart tremblingly and asked tremblingly, "Is it a big deal?"

"Ha." Li Xiang was happy: "How big do you want?"

"To be honest." Li Yin sighed and said, "My Shuwang Mansion is really poor. It's so poor that even a mouse would cry if it got in. Even though my wife doesn't say it, she always doesn't stand up straight when the sisters-in-law meet. As for Zhinu, he is now rich. When my wife saw his wife, she was envious."

"Look, isn't this opportunity here?" Li Xiang asked in a persuasive tone, "Sixth Uncle, what should we do if we are short of money? Do you want to start a business?"

"If it's business, then that's fine." Li Yan was a little embarrassed: "Actually, I wanted you to help me do business before, but I was too embarrassed to ask."

Damn, you are still so shy?

Li Xiang had a new respect for Li Yin. Logically speaking, this shameless man should have come up and asked for some business.

Li Yin also understood Li Xiang's expression. He said helplessly, "I don't want you to think that I got close to you because I wanted money. Brothers like us always put loyalty first!"

"Oh, why didn't you say so earlier?" Li Xiang said with a smile, "Of course I know that Uncle Six treats me well because he loves me, not for any other reason."

"Really?" Li Yan's eyes lit up.

"Of course." Li Xiang said with a smile.

"Well... I don't know what kind of business it is." Li Yin asked shyly, rubbing his hands.

"Business?" Li Xiang smiled. "Do business with me and my nephew? If we want to do business, let's do a big one!"

"Big?" Li Yan took a deep breath, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter: "How big is it? If we don't do business, where will the money come from?"

"Who says you have to do business to make money?" Li Xiang sneered, "Doesn't your sixth uncle like to explore the sea? We're going to do this big thing. Not only will it make you rich, but it will also allow you to have money for your future voyages. You can build as many ships as you want. It won't be a problem even if we build a hundred and throw a hundred!"

"What the hell?" Li Yin's body trembled when he heard that.

"Do you see these three places?" Li Xiang pointed at the map and said, "No, No, Uncle Six, hold the map well. These are hard to see clearly."

"Oh." Li Yin quickly stretched out the map.

"Look, these three places." Li Xiang pointed to the three circled locations and said, "They are the silver mine, the gold mine and the copper mine. They are the largest mineral deposits within a radius of thousands of miles. If Uncle Six can find these three marked mineral deposits, and then find some people to develop the mineral deposits, then we will become rich, right?"

"Hiss..." Li Yan's eyes were as big as copper bells.

"What business can compare to digging for gold, silver and copper?" Li Xiang said with a smile, "Don't these things make money much faster than doing business?"

"Good stuff, this is really good stuff!" Li Yin said excitedly: "Brother, don't worry, this time when I go out to sea, I will definitely find all three locations!"

"Look, let me ask you, what are you going to do after you find it? What if Japan also knows that there are mineral deposits in these three locations and wants to come and rob them?" Li Xiang asked with a smile.

"Needless to say? Of course I'm going to beat them up!" Li Yan said angrily, "What the hell is Japan? I'm going to beat Japan!"

"Good! Uncle Six is ​​really ambitious!" Li Xiang praised: "But defeating Japan is not something that can be done overnight. We must first learn about the geography of Japan in detail before we can start."

"Brother, rest assured. When I get to Japan, I will send someone to investigate!" Li Yin said viciously, "We must take Japan!"

"Okay, Uncle Six." Li Xiang said with a smile, "Then let's make it a deal. When the exploration of the mineral deposits is completed, I will make the decision and let Aung give you 10%."

"Ah?" Li Yin scratched his head: "Why let Aye divide it? Shouldn't you divide it?"

Li Xiang: …

Oh, you actually dared to exclude His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty from sharing the spoils. It seems that you are very thoughtful...

"You are so confused, Uncle Six." Li Xiang said angrily, "Don't you think about who has the final say in the Tang Dynasty now?"

"It's Aye." Li Yin was somewhat reluctant and muttered, "Hey, if Aye can do it, why can't my brother do it?"

"What?" Li Xiang didn't hear clearly.

"Nothing." Li Yin said.

"Look, whether we send out troops or do whatever, we will need the troops of the Tang Dynasty. You and the Shu Palace alone, or my Prince's Palace, can't accomplish anything alone." Li Xiang shook his head and said, "So it's okay for the old man to take the lion's share of the mineral resources, and we can just share the spoils."

"What you said makes sense." Li Yin agreed with Li Xiang's remarks, but still muttered, "But Aye did nothing and ate 80% of it. I still can't accept it."

Li Xiang was about to say something, but unexpectedly Li Yin waved his hand and said, "Oh, forget it. He is the emperor anyway. What's wrong with the two of us giving way to him? Eighty percent is eighty percent!"
