"Little Treasure, the people from Fengwu Pavilion also came here and wanted to open a bank with you. I didn’t agree to this because I couldn’t call the shots. As a result, Fengwu Pavilion’s people deposited 200,000 coins in the county bank at once. What should I do?"
After He Yiwei finished talking about other things, he talked to Zhang Xiaobao about Fengwu Pavilion.
"En? They deposited two hundred thousand coins at once? How did you tell him?" Zhang Xiaobao was surprised when he heard this number. He knew that Fengwu Pavilion was rich, but he didn't expect that Fengwu Pavilion could take out twenty at once. Wan Guan, I don't know where the money was placed before.
"They came and said that they wanted to see you, so I told them that they didn’t know until you came back. Now it’s useless to send someone to deliver the letter to you. They didn’t say anything, so they just left, and then they deposited it in the county bank. Two hundred thousand coins, no one moved the money."
He Yiwei thought that he had done something wrong, so he hurriedly said what he had said.
Zhang Xiaobao smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, there is nothing wrong. We can't charge their interest for this money. They are showing us their strength and telling us that they can cooperate with us. In this case, arrange it. I see See them, 200,000 guan, think of a way to get them to draw a few more businessmen over, along this road, to open a few more banks in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shuzhou."
Zhang Xiaobao finished his orders. When he was about to clean up and saw the people from Fengwu Pavilion, Er Niu rushed in. As soon as he saw Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, he said, "Little son, little lady, Yamamoto said they would not sell that. Woodland, what can I do?"
"Oh? Don't sell it? Don't sell it if you don't sell it. The big deal is that you don't do anything over there and tell me what happened during this period." Zhang Xiaobao thought that Yamamoto would sell the woodland during the time he was away. Unexpectedly, he could really persist, and there was no way, he couldn't force a buy.
…
When Datang began the autumn harvest, Tubo also carried out autumn harvest here, but this year's grain output was really small.
The locusts were finally wiped out. As for how many eggs were laid in the soil, it is not clear. The poultry ate well one by one, but the nobles of Tubo looked at the poor barley and rice in the fields. , I just want to cry without tears.
During the autumn harvest, the slaves were much more relaxed. A large amount of food was eaten by locusts. They did not have to be as tired as before, but none of the slaves were happy about it. They knew that if there was not enough food, the master would not be The only ones who starve to death are their efforts.
The civilians in Tubo were also unhappy. After harvesting, they were still carefully searching in the fields to see if there was any leakage of grain, and some even tried to find wild vegetables, even if the wild vegetables were old, they dug them out and kept them without eating. Eat it when you eat it.
The entire Tubo people are all in despair. The people who bought the Hanxuanfeng casino and lottery tickets are also in a bleak business. The food is gone, and all those who don’t dare to spend like before are waiting to be able to buy them from Datang. Some food.
Here in Jinchuan, Songzhinigan is also instructing people to harvest. When he came here, he let people replant a lot of things, all of which are wheat and highland barley that grow faster than rice.
Although there was a locust plague here, it was not serious. The locusts that flew over were quickly wiped out.
He also knew the situation in Jinchuan and felt very thankful. Thanks to the words of Han Xuanfeng, he ran to Han Xuanfeng every day during this period. Han Xuanfeng just returned to Yizhou and reported it. Lead the slaves to do a lot of construction here.
At the same time, he was still training the army far away from Pengzhou. More than 7,000 slaves were sent out by him. 2,000 stronger men. Without weapons, they would train the queue first, and then just work. Exercise, but the slaves couldn't keep up with the work and food in the past.
Now I don’t have to worry about eating. I work hard one by one, and my physique naturally becomes stronger.
Originally, there was no need to wear sandbags to run with weights. Soldiers here only need to pick up their weapons, take the leather armor and the food they want to eat, they are heavy enough, and when the army is training, they only need to take up the weapons to be heavy.
The slaves didn't have many decent weapons. Han Xuanfeng could only make sandbags for the slaves to wear. Two thousand people had to run twice a day, once every twenty miles.
Before dinner today, Han Xuanfeng started running with two thousand people. During the run, Songzhinigan looked for him. He rode on the horse and followed Han Xuanfeng with the speed. :
"Someone from Tubo came to find me today, saying that they want to sell the land I sold to them. I only need to pay 70% of the original money, but I need to pay for it with food. ground?"
Han Xuanfeng waved his hand and continued to run. Songzhini didn't understand what it meant. He didn't let himself talk or didn't want the land, so he asked again: "They even said that as long as I will go, they are willing to sell. Give me slaves. There are not many slaves on my side. If they are willing to sell, I think it's better to buy them. What do you think?"
"I won't be in a hurry when I finish running." Han Xuanfeng also carried a sandbag. When he was about to run twenty miles now, he was obviously weakened and he was struggling to breathe. Songzhinigan Fei was there to let him talk.
With just this sentence, Han Xuanfeng's footsteps became messy, Songzhini closed his mouth obediently, and after the run, he passed Han Xuanfeng a bowl of water, and waited for Han Xuanfeng to pant. Evenly talk about things.
I felt much more comfortable when I poured a bowl of water. Han Xuanfeng pressed his legs and said to Songzhinigan: "That place can't be ordered anymore. It is estimated that there will be a locust plague next year, let alone you go back, they can easily let it go. You? If slaves are willing to sell them directly, they can buy them.
As long as they are willing to sell, we need as much as there is, but we can’t give them too high a price. They are short of food now. One thousand one stone of food can be sold as two or five stones. The little boy has already prepared it. Chen Liang is being raised across Jiannan Road.
Don’t make your own claim. You can go in and out of Pengzhou freely. If you transport the food and sell it to the Tubo people, then the young man will let you make up for the loss, the young man said, this year It is a very important year. If it is controlled well, then Tubo will be in a slump.
It will be easy when you want to clean them up in the future. If you let them overcome the difficulties easily, it will take a lot of work in the future. "
In fact, Songzhinigan really wanted to buy grain from Datang and sell it at high prices in Tubo. That way, he could make a lot of money in one go. I didn’t expect that this idea would not be realized. It looks big. Tang had to deal with Tubo not only to make some money, but also political interests.
After hearing Han Xuanfeng's words, Songzhnigan agreed: "Then I will contact them to buy slaves. How is the price set?"
"According to the weight, if a slave weighs one hundred catties, then give them two hundred catties of food, not more or less." Han Xuanfeng did not give Zhang Xiaobao's instructions this time, he said according to his own thinking. .
Songzhini couldn’t understand, "Why do you want to calculate by the quantity? This price can indeed buy a slave, especially now that Tubo lacks food, it is estimated that it is lighter than the slaves, and they will also be willing to sell it. After all, slaves still have to eat food."
"That's because once the weight of food is not as good as that of slaves, they might as well kill the slave and let other slaves eat it, and it's better than eating only food. That's meat, so I told you to prepare twice as much. As a result, they feel that it is not worthwhile to kill slaves for people to eat, so they can naturally change it."
Han Xuanfeng said something that makes people feel very helpless, but it will happen. Compared with hard work, animals may be more valuable. If you are hungry, there is nothing impossible for people to cannibalize.
When Han Xuanfeng spoke, his voice was not low. When the slave next to him heard it, he might have thought of something, and couldn't help but shiver a few times. Songzhnigan also nodded helplessly.
"Knowing this is the case, then use grain to exchange slaves. If they are willing to sell horses, cattle and sheep, should we use three times the weight in exchange?"
"It may be possible to exchange cattle and sheep, but if the horses are exchanged, they have to be sold to us. It is better to exchange them ourselves. We have to buy from you for anything. I will write a seal to the little boy and the little lady. Letter, ask them, now you can prepare some food.
But let's say yes, three-quarters of the slaves you exchanged must be sold to me, and I can give you 10% more at the price you exchanged. I want slaves to be of great use. "
Han Xuanfeng thought for a while and agreed to the exchange, but he must have a choice.
After Songzhinigan had discussed with Han Xuanfeng, he went to see the people sent by Tubo to discuss the slave exchange with them, waiting for more people to reach here.
…
In Luzhou Fuzhong, Zhang Pingwang is packing his luggage. He is about to leave. By the way, he also brings the tax here. When he returns, he can arrange other official positions for him. The person who will take over the position has been determined and he is on his way. It is estimated that it will be reached within a few days.
I have seen the same thing and let people put it up. Zhang Pingwang didn’t want to stay in the house anymore. He led the small attendants out again and walked on the widest street in Luzhou Mansion, keeping his eyes on the surrounding scenery. It seems that I want to keep everything in my mind.
"Master, why didn't I want to leave all of a sudden? It's better to be here, eat well, dress well, live well, and don't have to worry about what the common people will cause." The attendants have the same idea, and The words in my heart came out.
"Hey... It is precisely because this place is good, so there are more talents who want to come over and take up positions. If we don't leave, how can others be willing? Besides, if we leave here, we will get a lot of money. When we go back, we will buy more land. It’s just troublesome to transport."
Zhang Pingwang sighed, and remember to pay more attention when looking at the scenery on both sides of the street, so as not to forget what it looks like at the time, and then I won’t know when it happened. Otherwise, even the distribution will not be here.
The two talked as they walked, and at the same time they kept smiling at the people who saw them, and left as soon as they saw them. It is estimated that it is not so easy to see such people elsewhere.
I didn't feel much about it last month, but now I am very disappointed.
When I was walking, there was a sudden movement of firecrackers in front of me. The crackling was not small at all, and the pair of guns flew up to the sky and exploded from time to time.
"Quickly go and take a look ahead." Zhang Pingwang, who didn't know what's new, greeted his attendant, and speeded up and walked forward.
Not only the two of them, but the people who have no work in their hands are also curiously running there. This shouldn’t be a marriage. If it’s a wedding, it shouldn’t be in the morning. It should be when it’s getting dark in the evening. Which shop opened
But the shops here are already full, and no one would transfer them casually. With all kinds of doubts, people gathered over there.
Waiting for the place, Zhang Ping looked at the plaque and muttered, "Datang Bank, what is this place for? Is it a pawnshop?"
The follower shook his head and said that he didn’t know. Soon, the sound of firecrackers rang out, and the person in charge of the Datang Bank came out and talked about the surroundings first, and then talked about the usefulness of the bank. , It is better to save money and lend money, and emphasized the matter of exchange in different places.
Waiting for the person in charge of the money house to finish speaking, the people around now understand that it turned out to be doing this. This is of no use to ordinary people. It is good to put a little money at home, why bother to put it in the money house and let others take it. Walk partly.
The businessmen really brightened their eyes. This is a good thing. In the future, as long as you go to the same Datang bank, you can withdraw the money you have saved here. Don’t worry about the time spent in the process, even if you lose your voucher, then. There are special marks that others can't get out.
This involves the cut corresponding to the number of bills issued by the bank, unless you are stupid and tell the cut to others, or someone in the bank has leaked the matter.
It is estimated that it is impossible. After all, the people who check the cuts in the money house are sent by the Zhang and Wang family. As long as the corresponding codebook is not lost, and the notes on your side are not lost, then don't worry.
Zhang Pingwang was also very happy, because the people at the bank just mentioned that from now on, not only can the merchants be exchanged in different places, but the taxes that the government has to pay are also saved here, and then taken out to the capital to hand in. .
"Master, this saves a lot of trouble. After all, it's easy to go wrong when escorting money. What if someone intercepts it? It's all right now. We just need to put the taxes we have to pay this year in the bank and put the money we got. Put it in too, just escort a portion of the grain.
Moreover, this grain is not always sent to the capital. When it reaches the south of the Yangtze River, it is handed over to them, and they will send the grain to the direction of the capital again, sir, are we going to do this? "
Zhang Pingwang's attendant spoke happily, and the last sentence was to ask whether he wanted to put his family's money in the bank, after all, he still had to pay 2% of the cost a year.
"Let it go, naturally it must be placed in the bank. The Zhang and Wang family's skills are so great that they have made such a business. Oh, this is their rice shop."
Zhang Pingwang didn’t think much about it. The 2% of the money is really not much, let alone one year. If you go back quickly from here, you will be able to get there in three months. That’s just a little bit more money. It’s better than bringing it by yourself. Steadily.
The merchants began to gather around, and carefully asked the person in charge of the bank here to find out where the same Datang bank was located, so that they could prepare in advance.
Some merchants from the south of the Yangtze River are still asking if they will open a Da Tang bank on Xinyuan Island in the future. Then they can put the gold directly in the bank and then come back here to get it. Transporting back and forth is laborious.
Of course, copper coins are not good, unless they want to be cleaned up, otherwise, who would dare to make copper coins and deposit them there.
…
At this time, the Xinyuan Island that the merchants were thinking about was the time when the wars continued. The people on Xinyuan Island who visited Datang some time ago had seen the good of Datang, and after returning, they began to promote it in their tribes. Not only did he tell others what he saw and what he heard, but he also divided the gifts that Datang gave them.
As a result, the people of this tribe yearn for Datang even more. After sending troops and ships to support them in a place on the shore, they united several tribes to deal with Those who were driven away by Datang people.
The war on the island has never stopped. These people who yearn for Datang not only get what Datang provides, but they also have weapons that are much stronger than the other side, although this weapon needs to be exchanged for local production.
In the hostile camp, there was a man sitting, looking at the map drawn by the people here, his brows only frowned, as if he was thinking about something unhappy, and there were two "beautiful" people next to him. The woman rubbed his shoulders there.
The house he was in was also the best, and the place where other people lived was only able to keep out the wind and rain. When he was watching, someone suddenly came in from outside and spoke to him respectfully.
"Takeshita-kun, they have fought over again. The arrows used this time are more powerful than the last time, and the thing called fireworks has blown up many of us, Takeshita-kun, what you said came from yours. When will the country’s reinforcements arrive, and if they don’t, we will be unable to hold on.
In the other places where we have united, they no longer want to continue fighting like this. Even if you said that Datang is a small country, we can't beat them, and we want to continue to exchange things with them. "
In fact, this person couldn’t understand why Takeshita-kun said that Tang was a small country and existed in Japan. As a result, the ships of Tang Xiaoguo circled the island outside, but Japan was a ship. The boat can't get through either.
Takeshita Miishi finally moved his eyes away from the map, glanced at the person who came in, and said: "Da Tang, a small country that was originally a minister to Japan, not only sent a ship to occupy this place, but also joined forces. This is another Shangguo, which is Silla.
It’s very easy for me to go to Japan to clean up this small country of the Tang Dynasty, but we have to guard against Silla, who is also the country of Shangguo, do you understand
Datang, a small country, doesn’t want to treat you well. The things they exchange for you are the worst. It’s the things that we don’t want in Japan, but exchange your good things. As a country, we should Help you so that you will not be bullied. "
Takeshita Sanshi’s words could come in. This person kept nodding. He said that there was another Shangguo called Silla. The small country of Datang must be better off with Xinluo, and at the same time be a minister to Japan. Such a country is really true. It's so hateful.
It is hateful and hateful. The matter here has to be resolved, so this person asked Takeshita Mishi: "Takeshita-kun, what should we do now?"
"Well, there are not just a few tribes on your side on the island, you continue to go there, there are more tribes, you send people to talk to them, just say that as long as they come to help defeat the small country of Datang , When I go to Japan, I will be able to find a chance to restrain Silla.
I brought you the exquisite porcelain made by me, which is better than what you are using now, and beautiful silk, which is also better than what Datang Xiaoguo gave you. "
Takeshita Sanshi looked confident, and the people who came in kept nodding their heads, and went out to send someone with a promise.
Takeshita Mishiki exhaled, looking at the messy map in front of him, he thought: "If Japan is really a country, it would be great. Tang was cleaned up. It's a pity that in the naval battle, he lost again and again. Those who lost dared not fight against Datang, they could only become ministers."
Takeshita Sanshi is going to find some help here. The people who came out of Luzhou also thought the same. They took the people who can communicate with each other here, and started to walk the sea by boat to stick to the sea and the island can see. The tribes contact each other, and each tribe sends silk and local products that are not available here to show friendship.
Then I improved the future exchanges. The people in the tribe here are not all that vicious. They kill them as soon as they meet. Many of them are willing to exchange goods with Datang, and they have already guaranteed that they can send troops. Go help in the war, but if you want benefits, you have to give the benefits after you help.
The people in Luzhou would naturally not fail to agree, and they gave out some things in advance, which made these local tribes very happy.
The fleet dispatched by Datang was faster than that of Takeshita and Sanshi, so we got a result, that is, after the people at Takeshita and Sanshi have lobbied, they got the tribe of Datang stuff. Looking at the person sent by the tribe who asked them to help fight, he very unceremoniously took this person as a trophy.
On the one hand, I came by a big boat and gave something first. On the other, I didn’t even have a small boat. I didn’t get anything from the land. You still have to ask who is strong and who is weak. What’s more, it’s me who got it. of.
The war was reversed in this form. The tribe that had united to "drive" out the Datang army and merchants finally turned into a situation of being attacked by the enemy. Into the jungle.
After fighting a few battles, Takeshita Miishi also suffered a little injury. He also got into the jungle and vowed to fight back. He said a lot of encouraging words, except for the tribe that listened to him in the first place. The united tribe didn't believe what he said less and less.
Datang successfully occupied the area outside the jungle without consuming too many things. It organized manpower here to open up wasteland, brought good tools from Datang, and took the wood that has a history of hundreds of years. The herbs and other things were gathered up, and then shipped to Luzhou one by one.
The cleared land allowed the local people to grow cotton. The coconuts also began to extract coconut oil. What they paid was only one-fifth of the value of the goods shipped back. For example, a horse is very expensive in Datang. The usual silk, a ham made of pork that is not a wild boar.
These things are worthless in Datang, but people on Luzon Island don’t know. As long as they feel that they don’t have them, they are good things, especially there are all kinds of spices, and there are still very few ceramics. .
The merchants in the Jiangnan East Road have also become active again, some of them travel between Datang and Xinyuan Island, and some along the shore, looking for more distant places, hoping to find more useful resources.
…
Time passed in such a hurry. When the New Year was approaching, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan received the gold from Xinyuan Island, a large ingot, which was as big as the water tank for peaceful fashion. This was not an exchange, it was from the local area. The people paid tribute to Zhang Xiaobao.
The indigenous people on Xinyuan Island, although they can still say what Datang is doing, they only know the Chamber of Commerce in Luzhou, which is the one run by the Zhang and Wang family. For them, it is right to listen to the Chamber of Commerce.
So people in the past in Luzhou mentioned when and how lively the New Year here, and wanted to find good things on the island as gifts for the little sons and little ladies, the locals got together to make such a big piece. Gold.
This piece of gold had set off early, and it was not delivered to Baoxin County until the New Year's Eve, making Xiaobei and the others who knew what gold was surprised to open their mouths.
"Wow, such a big piece of gold, like a stone, if you give me jewelry, I won't be able to wear it." Beckham stroked a gold ingot taller than her, and said very honestly.
The Xiao Hai next to him looked at the gold and said, "They are inconspicuous. It is estimated that the ship will leak such a large piece of gold. I don't know how to disassemble it. This gold weighs 30 tons, right? Know where they got it."
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan haven’t really weighed the weight of this gold, but it doesn’t look small. Even if it’s not very pure, the density can reach 18 grams per cubic centimeter. It’s still an irregular body, so you can only throw it away. Go into the pool and see how much the water surface rises before you can judge.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan felt that they had seen a lot of the world, but they had never seen such a large piece of gold before, and they both touched it with their hands.
It's not a question of how much money, but this piece of gold can scare people when it is taken out, just like many people don't put money in the bank, but take it out and put it under the bed, so much, it looks comfortable.
"Xiaobao, I guess it was those tribes who took out the gold and ore they had accumulated over the years, then put them together and sent them to the place. I think this is at least one cubic meter, which is nearly two pure. Ten tons, impure can also have eighteen to nine tons."
Feeling the coolness brought by gold, Wang Juan said to Zhang Xiaobao.
Zhang Xiaobao nodded and said, "I guess it will not be lighter. One cubic meter is nothing more than one meter in length, width and height. This height is definitely more than one meter. The width is not narrow, you must try it, then you can use it as the treasure of the bank.
If there is a sudden run on one day, just let them see this piece of gold, and they will believe in the strength of our bank, yes, we must keep it, and leave it to our own bank, not the Datang bank. "
When the two people were talking, Xiao Yuan next to him had already opened his mouth and was looking for an angle to bite the piece of gold to see if it was true.
In the end, he couldn't find a place to put his mouth, so he said to Zhang Xiaobao, "Brother, can someone separate this piece of gold, and then I see, I have bitten gold and silver, and I know if I bite it." "
"After I go back, I will dig it out for you and let you taste it. This year, the gift will be specially gifted with gold. Not to mention that the gift is gold, but it is a dish. Let's call Jinban braised red shrimp, and see who can eat it."
Zhang Xiaobao touched Xiaoyuan's head, also joking.
Xiaoyuan seemed very happy when he heard that he was going back, but when he was just happy, he said: "I'm going to change places again. I don't know where the people in Baoxin County will stay for a long time. The meeting will also be sent off like it was in Yizhou, and sent out for dozens of miles."
"No, I have to leave secretly this time. Madam He will leave last. He is responsible for the handover procedures. Let's go first and we can't disturb the people anymore."
Zhang Xiaobao is also scared. He will come once when he is in a place. Nobody can stand it. The main reason is public opinion. If someone is looking for trouble in this area, he has to hide, even if he knows that he is waiting for someone to leave. , The people will also send a table of ten thousand people.
Xiaozhu looked at her brother and sister, and suddenly asked, "Where is the next place? Can't my parents follow?"
Wang Juan nodded: "We didn't think about the next place. Originally, we planned to go to Cizhou, but I think it's better to go to the northeast. It's not very stable there, and things will easily happen there in the future, let alone over there. There are also a lot of ginseng, which needs to be used for medicinal purposes.
I will stay at home in Luoyang for a year, and wait for Zhang to talk about it. It's messed up, it's all messed up, it turns out that it's going to be a confession at the beginning of spring next year. It is estimated that Zhang said it will be soon, and you still have to follow us. , The northeast is very cold. "
The little guys nodded, expressing that they understood that they were used to running around. Who made such a home? When enjoying the benefits, they must also pay.
The day of leaving is finally here. In order to prevent the people from noticing, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn’t directly take the little guy’s house. They even kept this large piece of gold, waiting for those behind to take it away. The group took advantage of the darkness to leave quietly in batches, Zhang Xiaobao's side went first, and the others went later.
At the dawn of the day, the people knew that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan had left. One by one was helpless and sad. They couldn't find Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, so they approached He Yiwei and asked him why he didn't remind them.
He Yiwei could not be reminded of what he could say. Did he dare to say it casually and could only explain continuously, saying that he didn’t know. When he got up in the morning, he saw a letter left behind. It’s too late to remind him at this time. etc.
In fact, the common people didn't come here specifically to question He Yiwei. When He Yiwei was going to be better, they had to send each other off. After so many years, it was not easy to meet a good official.
The people gathered to press their handprints, opened a piece of white silk, and asked someone to write the words of the Wanmin Form, and then the people pressed their handprints one after another. They needed to press three copies, one for He Yiwei, and the other two. Give Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, regardless of the fact that the two are together, you have to have two copies.
He Yiwei watched the bright red handprints placed on the white silk by the villagers in turn, raised his head to prevent tears from staying, and muttered: "It's worth my life."
When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were returning to Luoyang, they received a letter from Tubo, which was written by Han Xuanfeng.
The letter first said that he would pay to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, as well as the people of Zhang Wang's family for an early age, and then said that he would not be back, and Mi Fan and the two of them would do the same.
I am going to spend a new year over there, hoping that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan can send a Tubo specialty to their homes to make their families happy.
The next thing is the business. Tell Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan that there are not many livestock in Tubo that can be exchanged this year. There are so many saffron, basically they have been collected, and there are slaves. The slaves who exchanged food have been let The number of slaves over there reached 34,000.
It was said that there could be more next year, especially after the snow fell over there. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were asked to find a way of resettlement. Not so many people could all stay in Jinchuan County.
"It seems that Tubo has really had a hard time this year. It is estimated that it will not be possible to send troops, otherwise they will not have enough food and grass, and morale will be lacking, they will be defeated when they come, and our plan can continue."
Zhang Xiaobao put the letter away and said to Wang Juan.
Wang Juan exhaled and said, "It's okay if you don't fight. To be honest, I don't want to fight. If you fight, you will die. Although people who are generals should be used to seeing life and death, I still feel uncomfortable in my heart.
If you think about a way, try to use other methods to get the Tubo side to receive the territory of the Tang Dynasty. It seems that Tibet was defeated at the beginning, and the loss was very large. "
"Yes, I try to solve it through economic means. If it doesn't work, we can buy land from them. Without a site, they will gradually weaken. Waiting for the bought slaves to be arranged, we can treat them. Demographic hands-on."
Zhang Xiaobao also didn't like dead people, especially those on his side. He decided that he could not use force to solve the problem, but force is still indispensable, and strong force must be used as a deterrent to allow other methods to proceed.
"Xiaobao, do you think Li Longji can send us to the northeast? Is the northeast side very chaotic now? It is estimated that the local people will not be able to manage it."
Wang Juan asked about other things again.
Zhang Xiaobao figured it out and said, "No problem, Li Longji will definitely agree. Then we can go around in circles with him. Didn't we say we were going to Cizhou at the beginning? Let him think that we are using Cizhou. As a cover, as long as he can't be sure, our plan can proceed.
It’s best to go to Dalian in the northeast. There is the sea over there. Huludao and Jinzhou are not there. Dalian is mainly close to Shandong. It takes a long time to travel by land. It is very convenient to travel by sea, but it is a straight line. distance. "
Wang Juan nodded: "Go back and discuss it carefully. Li Longji has become smarter now. He always lied to him. It seems that he is not so easy to lie. I guess he just wants to win once. Is there a place called Fushun in the northeast? There is a lot of coal in it? It is said that there is the most amber there.
We stopped by when we were in the past. Dalian should be a small broken fishing village now, but it can be developed. There are not many people in the northeast. Who would you say you want to go to the fishing village? "
"We can have one more ethnic group and continue to the north. Li Longji won't care about that. Let's get people from Russia. What is the name now? Go back and check it. Then we will connect with that side. It’s all occupied, so whoever does it or not, why care about a political power? As long as the people can live a good life, so can Datang."
