"To be honest with Brother Li, although this sand table has been spent a lot of energy, it is still entirely up to my family to travel to Anxi, and I personally walked to Xiaobolu."

Chen Guang led Li Longji to the pile of drawings beside the sand table, picked up the maps drawn by Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing and said to him, "Oh, by the way, there is also Brother Feng. If Brother Feng had not summarized these maps, it would be difficult for him to complete them."

"This sand table sinks the man is planning..."

Listening to Chen Guang's words, Li Longji's impression of Gao Xianzhi suddenly increased. He was able to go to the enemy country to investigate the terrain and draw so many maps. It seems that Gao Xianzhi is more competent than any general in the court in the fight against Xiao Bolu.

"My protector is to offer this sand table to the saints, so I have been so busy these days that I can't touch the ground."

Hearing Chen Guang's words and thinking about the scene he saw when he came in just now, Li Longji couldn't help but smile and said, "Chen Lang is right, he is really busy."

Li Longji did not continue to ask about the sand table. Since this sand table was dedicated to him by Gao Xianzhi, he would ask carefully after he entered the palace. He had another thing he was very curious about and wanted to know the answer from Chen Guang.

"Chen Lang, have you not introduced to someone who is this Brother Li?"

Feng Changqing finally got the opportunity and said, "He doesn't want to be a foil completely. This is a great opportunity to scan faces in front of the saints, who would be willing to miss it?"

"Brother Feng, Brother Li's identity is really..."

"It's okay, Chen Lang told Judge Feng that's it."

"Brother Li, is it really okay?"

"It doesn't matter. I can trust Chen Lang, and naturally I can trust Chen Lang's friends."

Li Longji was also very curious about why Chen Guang wanted to hide his identity from Feng Changqing, and Feng Changqing even looked at him with a scrupulous look.

"Brother Feng, Brother Li is Li Jia."

"Master Li, but that Master Li."

Feng Changqing frowned, then pretended to think, "Chen Lang, aren't everyone in Luoyang? Why is this..."

"It's good if Brother Feng knows it. His reputation has been tiring since ancient times. When you were in Yancheng, you also saw it. If someone hadn't built Fanlou and taught music to music, or if someone had to play this one today and asked me to sing the song tomorrow, wouldn't it be exhausting to death? Besides, there are so many powerful people in Luoyang in Chang'an, Brother Li would have had no choice but to have any difficulties."

Li Longji listened to Chen Guang's words, and just savored it carefully, he realized that Chen Guang thought that Li Guinian from Luoyang was the lip-syncer that he invited, so he concealed his identity for him.

"What Chen Lang said is so true, his reputation is exhausting, so I asked my disciple to pretend to be his own family and go to Luoyang to play music and sing music for those nobles, otherwise I would be exhausted to death."

Li Longji is over 60 years old, but as an emperor, he naturally takes good care of himself. He looks only in his forties or fifties. It is just right to pretend to be Li Guinian. At this time, he had already made up his mind and asked Cui Jiu to see Li Guinian after returning to the palace. Then he confirmed that Li Guinian was his lip-syncing, so that he would go out of the palace to play with Chen Lang and don’t have to worry about being exposed.

"So that's it. Don't worry, everyone, Li. Feng has always kept his mouth shut and would never spread the matter."

"You are kind to judge."

Li Longji felt quite fresh at this time. After all, everyone knew that he was a saint on weekdays. They would not tell the truth to him, but now it is different. Thinking of this, he couldn't help asking Chen Guang, "Chen Lang, I heard people in the city these days that the escort business was opened by Chen Lang. I wonder if it was true?"

Li Longji had no idea about the escort business. The escort business in Anxi Beiting and other places was the armed caravan of the Tang Dynasty, but the scale was not large. In his opinion, this escort business was just a kind of nature with the escort business, but the escort business was still serious, but Chen Guang's escort business was just a waste of money and could sell escort banners directly.

"Brother Li, a certain escort business was actually to see that the veterans of Anxi, Han'er and the good families in the four towns could have a way out..."

It is rare for Li Longji to listen. Chen Guang told Li Longji about the current situation of the Anxi Army, and these things will never be reported to Li Longji by the Anxi Protectorate.

"The military salary given by the court is not enough for the usual expenses of the veterans. When they are lifted and returned to the fields, not many people can save the travel expenses to return to their hometowns. Some people even have to rely on their comrades in the army to raise money to buy a coffin after they die in battle..."

"The imperial court allocated no less than two million chunks of military expenditure to the Anxi Protectorate every year, and there are many military farms in the four towns. Why do soldiers work so hard?"

Li Longji's brows were already frowning. Generally speaking, he was still an emperor who cared about the common people. However, he had lived in the deep palace for many years and was indulged in enjoyment. In addition, Li Linfu and others have always reported good news but not bad news, so he naturally had no idea about the news at the bottom.

"Brother Li, those who have constant property have perseverance. Most of the soldiers of the Anxi Army come from the pass. Who would be willing to take their families to guard the border thousands of miles? The Anxi side is bitter and cold, but some military pay is also spent on women and wine. Besides, who doesn't want to return home in glory and work hard to guard the border for six years, and finally return to his hometown without anything... Brother Li, do you think the retired soldiers of the Anxi Army are suffering or not."

"Chen Lang opened an escort agency to find a way out for them?"

"It's not entirely for these veterans. When I was in Anxi, I saw many good families and Han'er in the four towns without a chance to serve the country. However, the court has its own system, so it's not easy to talk nonsense. If this escort business can finally get the permission of the court, at least it will be a way out for these people, and it will not be unhealthy for the court."

"I hope to hear the details."

Li Longji, sitting cross-legged, had already looked serious at this time. He had not heard people discuss military affairs and national affairs like this for a long time, but Chen Guang said something that made sense, so he could also listen.

"Anxi is alone for thousands of miles, and it is not easy to transport food, military and supplies. Although the imperial court's military expenditure is high, more than half of it will be lost on the road. Although there are a lot of military farms in the four towns, Anxi is vast and the army has conquered and is often thousands of miles away. With this amount of military farm, it is simply ineffective to use it."

"I opened this escort business and planned to set up branches in various parts of Anxi to recruit disabled veterans and military families to let them farm nearby. The court is in trouble now and has no spare money to reclaim wasteland. I have no great ambitions in this life, but I just want to see Anxi become a fertile land in my lifetime."

Speaking of this, Chen Guang smiled self-deprecatingly, "Does Brother Li think that someone is too overestimating his abilities?"

"If everyone is like Chen Lang and is willing to share the worries of the country, why should I worry about not being strong in the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Longji sighed that when he was in Mai Mansion, he knew that Chen Guang was in Anxi, and now he understood Chen Guang's idea. According to Chen Guang's approach, he actually supported the veterans and their families for the country. Even if he made a lot of money, he would spend a lot of money. If someone else did this, Li Longji would definitely think that it was ulterior motives, but Chen Guang did this, but he had no other idea because he felt that Chen Guang had a innocent heart.
