Merchants will definitely not be able to afford it.
However, after hearing Ma Jinyu's message, King Duan didn't seem to be angry, but instead let them go and stay at will, which is a bit puzzling. What does King Duan mean? At the beginning, he tried his best to persuade them to go to Liangzhou for field investigation, but now it seems that this is not the case anymore? How can King Duan change his mind
Although I don't understand the meaning, but King Duan didn't blame him, which makes people extremely fortunate.
Everyone pondered this over and over again, what King Duan said made sense. Now that I've come here, I can reach Liangcheng in a few days, so it's really not worthwhile to give up halfway. Why don't you have to take a look at Liangcheng? As for the good opportunity that King Duan mentioned, some people gave up hope.
"Since we've already talked about this, let's wait and see?" Someone suggested in a low voice.
This said to everyone's heart, and everyone nodded in agreement.
"Hey! It took such a long time to travel, so I don't care about it anymore. Since I decided to visit Liangcheng at the beginning, I don't want to take a look now."
"Hahaha! Exactly, I'm going to Liangcheng anyway, whether you like it or not."
As a result, many people were shaken, "Forget it, the people and horses didn't say anything back? Are we in a hurry here?" The Ma family should be more anxious than them, after all, seeing more than a dozen truckloads of goods fetching water Piao, these are all silver coins! No matter how strong the Ma family's financial resources are, the money didn't come from the wind, did it
When Ma Jinyu heard this, his teeth felt sore, what is this called? Do they really think that the Ma family will lose everything this time? Let me tell you, there is no way to see jokes.
Even if Liangcheng's goods can't be sold, isn't there still a west side? King Duan was able to travel west, why couldn't their Ma family? What's more, isn't King Duan presiding over the Xiqi Corridor now just to make it easier for businessmen to travel west? He really didn't believe that this little thing would rot in his hands.
After meeting Ming Yu, Ma Jinyu suddenly realized that the structure of their Ma family was not limited to the small land of Liangzhou.
Now that he has settled down, his father must have his plan. Let's watch and learn by myself first, and learn all these in my heart, so that I can turn them into useful things for myself.
Ma Jinyu raised his hand, "Hey! Our Ma family has no control over what you think, anyway, the Ma family is going to Liangcheng."
"Hahaha, we all know that your Ma family's goods are going to be sold in Liangcheng. I'll follow along to see, as long as your Ma's family sells them, we will go back to deliver the goods and sell them immediately, and we will never break our promise!" Someone said jokingly.
"That's right, that's right! Mr. Ma, don't say that we ruined your exclusive deal!"
Ma Jinyu waved his sleeves, "Go, go, go! If it's an exclusive sale, how could our Ma family have only shipped over a dozen truckloads of goods? I'm still worried that this little thing will be snatched before it even enters Liangcheng." It's over."
Ma Jinyu also came here with a big mouth, no matter what outside, he couldn't lose face to the Ma family, right? No matter whether he has the bottom line in his heart or not, he must never do things that make others want to destroy his own prestige.
"If this is the case, Mr. Ma won't be as sad as he is these days, even if he falls asleep, he will wake up with a smile?" someone joked.
These days, the eldest son of the Ma family sighed and looked sad, and they didn't miss it. Who doesn't know that Mr. Ma is worried about his own goods? At this time, he is still stubborn, so why not make people laugh.
The good-natured jokes made everyone laugh, and the jokes released the suppressed emotions of the past few days. Everyone felt a lot more relaxed. No matter how Liangcheng was, it was still a state city, and it couldn't be worse than this wilderness, right
Not far away, Ma Siyong saw this scene and nodded with a smile. His son is not stupid. He is not worried about his own goods at all, if he is not sure, he will not set off with the caravan goods. Now that King Duan has reminded him of Liangzhou's needs, and he has followed his word, let's see how it works.
In short, what Ming Yu asked Ma Jinyu to convey did have an effect, at least most of the people changed their minds, so they didn't rush to go back. Seeing this, a small number of people couldn't say anything more, so they could only hold their noses and follow them to Liangcheng.
After walking for another seven or eight days, the whole team became restless, because they could see the continuous city wall from a distance, looming in the gray sky.
"Has this reached the boundary of Liangcheng?" Someone asked in surprise.
"Should, maybe." Although not sure, someone replied.
"Hey! Whether it's true or not, wouldn't it be enough to send someone out to find out?" Such a simple matter, why guessing here
Before they asked people to inquire, there was news from the front.
King Duan's team was fully armed, showing off all the guards of honor.
Along the way, King Duan was afraid of disturbing the government and disturbing the people, so he did not reveal his identity. At this moment, King Duan asked people to put out the guard of honor, and all the people marveled at the grandeur of the prince.
They followed the convoy along the way, almost forgetting the identity of Duan Wang in front of them. Thinking of what they complained in private a few days ago, it was only now that they became afraid. If it got into the ears of Duan Wang and was blamed by Duan Wang, several of their heads would not be enough to cut off.
"My lord, there is a welcoming team ahead." Someone came to report back.
Ming Yu lifted the curtain of the car and looked around for a while, there was indeed a crowd of people in front of him, but he didn't know who came to meet them.
"Who is the leader?" Since he couldn't tell, he asked.
"It's Zhifu Liu and General Wei, Commander Mo of the guard battalion is also here." The attendant replied.
Because of the imperial guards newly dispatched by the emperor, when he returned to Beijing this time, Ming Yu left Mo Jiang and the guard battalion to prepare for the expansion of the army and the training of recruits.
The people in the guard camp are all old people brought out by Ming Yu, this time Ming Yu didn't let them guard, which made these people worry about gain and loss. It was their unshirkable responsibility that they failed to protect the prince well before, and let the prince be plotted by the villain.
Later, the imperial court sent the Imperial Guard Jingwei to rescue the prince. Everyone knew that the Imperial Guard was the emperor's private army. The emperor did not hesitate to point out a thousand people to the prince, so the thousand imperial guards Jingwei became the prince's private guards, and they were the prince's exclusive imperial guards Jingwei. This is a precedent that has never been seen before. With this group of people, their status can only be relied on.
They had a sense of crisis at that time, did the prince really want them? Although they were unwilling to follow the prince to the frontier at first, the prince also promised to give them a chance to return to Beijing. But now, they regretted it, and they were willing to stay in the border area for the rest of their lives to follow the prince. They don't seek the wealth and glory in the capital, but only hope that they can follow the prince to make contributions, so that their children and grandchildren can be proud of themselves in the future.
However, when the prince returned to Beijing, he kept them and did not let them guard them anymore, which meant that the prince no longer needed them.
Naturally, Mo Jiang could see their worries, and he was also very clear about the changes in the thinking of his subordinates. His Highness's words were still ringing in his ears back then, and at that time he had already stated that he would be loyal to His Highness for the rest of his life, and he would never leave Wang Ye's side.
Mo Jiang watched His Highness grow up step by step, and His Highness was working hard towards his own goal. But people like myself, no matter how hard they try to keep up with His Highness, they are no longer worthy of staying by His Highness's side!
Ming Yu asked him to stay on this trip, which really made Mo Jiang sad. He just thought it was His Highness who abandoned them. Unexpectedly, Ming Yu patted him on the shoulder and told him that there was no other reason for him to stay because Liangzhou would undergo major changes. Next, the task entrusted to him will be an unprecedented major task, which is related to the transformation of the army and the imminent change of the situation in the frontier.
Although Ming Yu didn't say it clearly, he could tell from His Highness's dignified expression that His Highness trusted him, so he would stay and entrust him with the most important tasks.
This made him hopeful again. His Highness did not abandon them, and His Highness still wanted to reuse them. Since His Highness trusts him, he must do his best to do what His Highness has told him.
Until a few days ago, Ming Yu sent news from the capital that Liangzhou allowed recruits from the common people. Let him start preparations, implement the detailed rules and plans as soon as possible, and start recruiting soldiers as soon as the imperial decree arrives.
Only now did he know that Ming Yu's game of chess was an unprecedented military revolution in the Great Yan Dynasty. And I really have a great responsibility. If I am not careful, if I don't do a good job, I will be a sinner through the ages.
He had been trembling all the time, acting in accordance with Ming Yu's letter, fearing that he would make a mistake, and he was looking forward to Ming Yu's return to preside over it day and night. Now that Ming Yu is back, that is reassurance, he is extremely happy.
Watching the convoy approaching with banners and banners from a distance, Mo Jiang's heart that had no place to rest finally calmed down, and he was ready to welcome His Highness's return.
Ming Yu waved his hand to signal that he knew, and waited for his relatives to leave, then smiled and said to Xie Yixiu, who was in full military uniform and was riding on a horse with his cart: "It turns out that they are all here, and I didn't intend to disturb them, but now it's good. Go ten miles out of the city to meet him."
"This is what a courtier should do." Xie Yixiu said softly.
Ming Yu smiled, but nodded his chin towards Xie Yixiu, "I remember when I first came to Liangcheng, someone might not know the meaning of being a courtier?"
It turned out that he remembered that when he entered Liangcheng for the first time, officials of all sizes came to greet him, except that General Xie was missing.
