Lard hobbled away from the camp where the Datang caravan belonged, his face was very ugly.
The seven people who followed him were also embarrassed. They were not looking for any benefit from Zhang Xiaobao's hands.
It is nothing more than trying to get to know Zhang Xiaobao as much as possible, so that they can use it in the future. Whether Zhang Xiaobao shows anger or weakness in their seriousness, they can grasp a little bit of Zhang Xiaobao's character.
But their abacus was obviously wrong. Zhang Xiaobao looked like it was nothing to do with me, and pushed a five-year-old child to the front. The five-year-old child was obviously not like someone taught her how to say it. The conversation happened temporarily. .
Listening to a five-year-old baby telling you the truth about the connection between the kite and the person flying the kite will always make people feel in a trance.
If you are facing an adult, you can talk about it, but for a five-year-old child, can you explain it clearly to her
"Everywhere is weird, and the people of Daqin Zhang and Wang's family can't look at it according to common sense." When Larder returned to the camp, he concluded when he saw someone in the camp throwing a cannon on the kite.
"Hit or not? You can't let them kill us once and assume that nothing happened." A man who also had a burned beard asked Larder in a low voice.
After asking, he shut up immediately, lowered his head and continued to tear down the kite that was not burning, because he suddenly realized that he shouldn't ask at all. The other party has more than 40,000 troops, not including the original local slave army, relying on himself more than 2,000. People can directly return to the embrace of Allah by rushing over.
Lard will not idlely scold others for their unwiseness. He is still worried about the current situation. If Daqin people really want to eliminate the people on his side, then there is no need to transfer troops from other places, 130,000 people. People, with a pinch, you can pinch the people on your side into bones.
My mission is to set up a camp here, and it is best to deal with many parties to let others recognize the status of food, so that they can exchange various materials with Daqin more closely.
Daqin has beautiful silks, beautiful ceramics, and even tea leaves that people will become accustomed to after drinking. A small amount of such things have flowed into their own side, and their value is very great. If... If it can stabilize, That…
It's a pity that I don't know what's wrong recently. The Emperor Qin, who has always been very enlightened, has blocked the various levels and does not allow merchants to privately transport materials that are common to Da Qin and good things for him.
There are too few goods shipped through Tubo and Turks, and the most important thing is that the price is much higher than that of Daqin.
I originally saw that the Tubo people always harass Daqin. After the harassment, Daqin did not act too much, and even opened up more communication channels. I am going to learn a lesson here and send people to burn Daqin in the desert. Haloxylon trees in the middle.
The businessmen who wanted to come to Daqin would give up part of their benefits for the sake of tranquility. Who knows that they started to realize that it was not what they had imagined, and the people here did not compromise.
Now that I know, the so-called chamber of commerce is not a simple trading team at all. The force behind it is so scary that it brought more than 40,000 soldiers over a long distance. They didn't fight, but just set up camp. What is it for? Or what purpose do you want to achieve
…
"More than two thousand people are not worth my hands. Once they are wiped out, we will have no excuse to continue staying. Xiaobao, you can help me think about how to involve Turks and Tubo. It is estimated that it will be another half a month. But suddenly they can receive news from the northern part of Hebei Province.
At the beginning, taking their seals was to give them the illusion that we wanted to draw them together, and we did the same. There are really a small number of people who promised to follow us after the war here is over.
If Ke Suu knows that his rear is going to be emptied, he may suddenly turn his face. I don't want to have my own staff attrition. You have an idea. "
Wang Juan was surprised by the smart behavior of Xiaobei and others, and then began to figure out the strategic layout. In terms of conspiracy and trickery, she believed in Zhang Xiaobao even more.
Zhang Xiaobao is going through the ledger, and he hasn't spent less money along the way. The spending will be even greater here, and he can't just pay without gaining.
Hearing Wang Juan's question, he stopped his movements, walked outside the tent, looked at the sun that was about to reach the center, and felt confused after basking for a while, and finally thought of a way.
"Tonight, we arranged for our people to secretly burn a part of the Haloxylon trees. They said that robbers came and hid them in the depths of the desert, so that a group of them led 40,000 people to pursue them. At that time, they wanted to get the news outside. There is no way to pass it to them."
"Will they believe it?"
"I don't care if they believe it or not. I said they will have it. When they enter the desert, they will use the money to buy a large amount of livestock from the Tubo and Turks to supply them. There is a shortage of food, and there is always no shortage of livestock.
There is a large army capable of waiting to be responsible for cleaning up the wolves and various possible dangers. Our people go into the desert to collect useful resources and plant trees by the way. There is a large number of people and a lot of power. "
"Well, if the Tubo and Turks don’t sell it... I understand that if they don’t sell our things, we will block the trade routes between them and Datang, and we will not buy or sell with them. There are still tens of thousands of dollars here, which is really impossible. Let's owe credit first." Wang Juan continued following Zhang Xiaobao's thoughts.
Zhang Xiaobao waved his hand and said: "Who will give them the copper coins? Take the printed money out and give them to let them go to the Tang Dynasty to spend money. They will not be inconsistent with them. This will just promote the circulation of banknotes, as long as they recognize the status of banknotes and will be willing in the future. By collecting banknotes when selling things, our banknotes can make people adapt more quickly."
Zhang Xiaobao was unwilling to separate the incident and had to contact other parties.
"Then burn it, let's go, look at Beckham and the others, don't let them hurt yourself." Wang Juan felt anxious, remembering what Beckham had reasoned with Larder not long ago, and there was an extra trace on his face. Smile, go out now.
…
"Let me summarize this matter. The kite hasn't been burnt all. You must remember the lesson. You have been successful in your actions. Next, let me talk about the process of fighting with the man whose beard was burned. At that time, I Thinking about..."
When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan came over, Xiaobei made a post-war summary like a little adult, except that the generals in the audience were obviously absent-minded and about to fall asleep.
"Xiaobei, are you sleepy? You have summarized it three times, knowing that you are great, let us go to sleep." Xiaoyuan lowered her head and memorized the Book of Songs. Seeing that Xiaobei was still talking, she had already said twice The second time, I couldn't stand it any longer, so I interrupted aloud.
When Xiao Bei was talking about a wonderful place, he was suddenly interrupted by Xiao Yuan's words, and said angrily: "What happened three times? Learn the new by reviewing the past. Don't say three times, that's thirty times, three hundred. Take it seriously this time, where did I just say it? Yes, when I faced Larder, you didn’t know at the time, I did it like this... Xiao Yuan, you repeat it."
"You were very witty at the time. Through your unique language logic, Larder was speechless, and... Beckham, let me go next time. I promise not to repeat the nonsense again and again. I will have lunch soon. ."
In order to get rid of this situation as soon as possible, Xiao Yuan praised Xiaobei as quickly as possible, and finally strongly demanded.
"Go back, don't worry about them, it seems that Beckham has the talent to be a politician." Zhang Xiaobao watched the group of little guys in a meeting without interrupting him, and walked away with Wang Juan.
※※※※
That night, a piece of Haloxylon tree farthest to the north of the camp suddenly burst into red flames. Amid the shouts and messy footsteps, it was reported that a robber had attacked the Haloxylon tree, and It was confirmed that the robbers after the attack ran into the depths of the desert.
Wang Juan mobilized his army overnight, divided his troops into five divisions, and rushed towards the depths of the desert in an encircling situation.
But suddenly waiting for the general to know that something was wrong, but he didn't dare to jump out to oppose him, so he could only go into the desert with his team.
Two days later, there were no more traces of more than 40,000 people outside.
At the same moment when the team entered the desert, Zhang Xiaobao's two letters were also sent to the Tubo and Turks, and the sender was asked to bring paper money to purchase livestock directly.
On a warm afternoon in the northern part of Hebei Road, Li Xun received a letter, called for the copywriters in the army, and wrote one after another, and posted them to the most popular place in Songmo Dudu Mansion where people come and go.
Local people leaned forward to watch the excitement one after another, listening to the literate people explaining the contents of the notice.
"As mentioned above, a lot of beasts suddenly appeared in the north of the capital, hurting pedestrians. I heard that the people here are very good hunters. I want to find a thousand hunters to go there and stay there. You can bring your own family. Even if there is no prey for a month, each hunter will be given two hundred yuan.
If you get the prey, you will give more. After you get there, all the women in the family will find work. The children in the family can go to the school to learn at no cost, and only find a thousand people. If you want to go, prepare quickly. Don't leave it if you have enough. "
People who know Chinese characters enjoy such moments, and they feel a sense of accomplishment when they see the admiring glances of people around them looking at them.
The people here didn't have the time to consider how strong the sense of accomplishment of literate people is. Seeing such an opportunity, they rushed to their homes anxiously, wanting to get involved.
The same thing happened in all the governor’s mansions in northern Hebei Province, some in the capital, and some in Luoyang. The requirements of each place are slightly different, but they are all in line with the characteristics of the locals, and the treatment is also very high.
Those who were still preparing to hide and wait for the army to return, felt a sense of powerlessness after learning about it.
