Chapter 138 The patriarch has an order

"The army of the governor of Xia Wanchun has arrived in Talas, and the Persians on the opposite side have 300,000 soldiers, and a great war is about to break out."

"Is the army under Xia Wanchun neatly armed?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the ammunition carried by Governor Xia can be used to fight at full capacity for three months."

"Where's the grain and grass?"

"Grain and grass for the army for four months, not counting the cattle and sheep of the shepherds accompanying them."

"Is there an epidemic rampant in the army?"

"The military doctor reported that everything was normal."

"Since everything is suitable, Talas is too far away from the Central Plains, even if we want to support Xia Wanchun, we are powerless, everything depends on him after all."

"General Jinhu's sentinels went out of Korea and captured Wu Sangui's envoy, and the envoy said that Wu Sangui wanted to return his family to the Ming Dynasty."

When the military newspaper read this, Li Guocheng raised his head slightly to look at the emperor's face, and saw that the emperor was expressionless, so he continued: "The envoy was cut off by General Jinhu with his nose and ears, and ordered him to tell Wu Sangui that since he stepped out of Shanhaiguan back then, he was no longer a Han man. ”

After reading the military report, Li Guocheng continued to check the emperor's face, and seeing that the emperor was still expressionless, he put the military report in hand on the emperor's desk, and waited for the emperor to approve it before transferring it to the military department.

General Jin Hu reported that the Jiannu forward battalion entered the sea to the east, and seemed to have found new land, and the remaining tribesmen took advantage of the frozen sea season to dig icebergs for boats to cross the sea, and suffered heavy casualties.

General Jin Hu has already ordered the Great Detail to evacuate and return to China. ”

Yun Zhao nodded and said, "That's right." ”

Li Guocheng said: "Jiannu was killed and injured heavily, unheard of, Xizuo saw a group of Jianzhou people who took the iceberg to the east, the iceberg somehow did not go east, Pan Heng did not go in the ice water for a long time, and so the rescue ship arrived at the iceberg, the Jianzhou people on the iceberg have all become ice sculptures. ”

Yun Zhao sneered and said, "After all, there are still people who have landed on that continent, plus those Jiannu who landed last year, I don't know how many people will be left in Dolgon in the end." ”

Li Guocheng said: "General Jin Hu said that there are many huge ices and icebergs in the far north, and the wooden ships of the Ming Dynasty cannot get close to ...... in winter."

Yun Zhao smiled: "We thought that the drive of Jiannu to the Jedi would be done, but as a result, the dog jumped off the wall in a hurry, do you want to say that Jiannu has left our control?" ”

Li Guocheng said: "Jiannu will not give us a chance to trouble him from beginning to end. ”

Yun Zhao shook his head and said: "Not only are we smart people, there are also smart people among Jiannu, when we don't have the strength to get rid of Jiannu, people confront us, and as our strength grows, people will stay away from us step by step."

When we had enough strength to prepare to destroy Jiannu, they went to the edge of the world, and now they have crossed east and gone to another world, and they can't reach it. ”

Li Guocheng could see that the emperor didn't seem to have anything to deal with Jiannu, and he was smart enough not to take the initiative to ask.

The current emperor is somewhat moody, and increasingly difficult to serve.

"General Li Dingguo has not come to the military academy in Tianfu to take up his post, and he still stays in the 100 acres of fiefdom in Phoenix Mountain, drinking and having fun all day long, and it seems that there is a trend of affection for the landscape."

"How is Zhang Guofeng?"

"General Guofeng recruited five hundred retired old subordinates, and ordered his eldest son Zhang Xiong to go to Guangzhou with some property."

"Where's the Golden Tiger?"

"General Jinhu also recruited two hundred old subordinates, but it was Zhu Cilang of the Zhu clan in Chang'an who led these two hundred subordinates to Guangzhou."

Hearing this, Yun Zhao snorted, slammed the cup on the table and said: "The dog can't change the eating of, tell the Ministry of Supervision to continue to investigate, this Zhu Cilang is just a chess piece on the surface, and the woman in the Zhu mansion must have a future."

What is the movement of our great Honglu Zhu Cunji? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Zhu Cunji and some Zhu Ming princes jointly submitted an application to the Prime Minister's Mansion to go to sea, and there are quite a few people."

"That's right!"

Yun Zhao picked up the teacup again, but his smile looked a little hideous.

"Your Majesty, we can't show weakness anymore, if it goes on like this, Weichen is worried that there are many people who need strict management from now on to jump out of our surveillance range, and from now on the sea and the sky will be wide."

"What about Zhang Guozhu?"

"The minister of state has not moved, he once said to his subordinate officials that it is his pursuit to live in peace and happiness."

"Xu Wu thought, what about Yang Xiong?"

"They have joined forces and sent people down to Guangzhou, and there are quite a few of them, but they seem to be dealing with Your Majesty, and going to the sea is more like a game than a sea."

Yun Zhao couldn't help but laugh when he heard Li Guocheng say this.

This child is still young after all, as long as these people go to the sea, then everything is up to him.

If you want to escape from this turmoil, you can learn from Zhang Guozhu, don't wade into this troubled water from the beginning, once you come in, your feet are wet by the seawater, and then you want to go ashore completely It's a dream.

Do you really think that tens of millions of silver coins are discarded in vain?

Thirteen lines in Guangzhou!

This is a trading house founded by Qian Duoduo when Yunzhao was just a warlord in Guanzhong.

Originally, there were only two, but later, after Han Lingshan killed Zheng Zhilong, the two firms quickly expanded into thirteen firms, each of which operated a single commodity.

Although each company only deals in one kind of goods, because of the clear division of labor, each firm pays attention to a commodity it operates, so from production, to transportation, procurement, and going to sea has formed its own unique method, so that when it comes to the thirteen lines in Guangzhou, everyone will give a thumbs up and praise - great.

Before Yun Zhao ascended the throne, the Thirteen Elements were purely the private property of the Yun family, and after Yun Zhao ascended the throne, the Guangzhou City Bo Division was established, and the supremacy of the Thirteen Elements was slightly weakened.

After the government arbitrarily took away the right to sell silk, porcelain, paper, nitrate, and Chinese patent medicine from the Yun family in accordance with the regulations, the Yun family's big shopkeeper soon developed groceries, especially the scissors, knives, and various daily necessities produced in Guanzhong were regarded as treasures by the Fanguo people.

Since then, the Thirteen Lines have returned to their peak state.

Although the interest rate is not higher than that of the bulk goods of the listed companies, it is definitely second to none among the merchants.

Wu Changchun, the chief shopkeeper of the thirteen lines, today, he summoned the thirteen shopkeepers of the thirteen lines to his Changchun Building for a meeting.

During this period of time, due to Queen Qian's crazy withdrawal of gold and silver from various shopkeepers, the development of the Thirteen Lines this year was quite difficult, and how many smiles were seen on the faces of each shopkeeper.

Wu Changchun knocked on the table with a cigarette stick and said, "Put away the dead man's face for me, and talk about how we can help Prince Yao gain a firm foothold in Yaozhou." ”

He He, who specializes in spices, said: "Big shopkeeper, the spice store has been transferred 700,000 silver dollars this time, and it is difficult to maintain daily operations."

Since there was no cash, it was very difficult for us to purchase spices from Nanyang, and although some old friends were willing to give us a little face, it was basically hopeless to buy spices on a large scale.

In the case that it is difficult to protect himself, he wants to serve Prince Haruka, but he is really powerless.

Of course, if the big shopkeeper allows us to use the Yun family's old business to do business, I will definitely have nothing to say about it. ”

Wu Changchun snorted coldly and said: "Don't think about the business without capital in the future, let me think of other ways, and give you a bottom, Queen Qian is deeply dissatisfied with our thirteen lines that can only come out with six million silver dollars this time."

The female accounting room who has already dispatched the main hospital will soon go south under the leadership of Aunt Yunchun.

Warning you, once the account books can't be zero, what kind of temper Aunt Yunchun is, you know, losing the position of the shopkeeper is a trivial matter, once the family law is executed, the whole family will suffer. ”

The shopkeeper of Tong Youxing shrank his neck, and then thought about the consequences, and gritted his teeth and said: "The big shopkeeper, it stands to reason that we are backed by the royal family, but now that we are doing business, there is no royal atmosphere at all."

It's just a matter of abiding by the law, after all, this world belongs to His Majesty, but Queen Qian pumped too hard this time, and the reason why the tung oil store can still operate now is entirely because we have a good reputation for many years, and the supplier is willing to give us credit.

If the queen still asks us to continue to support Prince Yao in this situation, my Lao Qiu has to get on the boat and go to Yaozhou to make cattle and horses for Prince Yao. ”

After listening to the complaints of the shopkeeper Qiu, Wu Changchun did not get angry, but swept his gaze from the faces of the shopkeepers, and finally tapped the table with his knuckles and said, "You really have no way?" ”

Shopkeeper Feng, who specializes in the precious timber business, said: "Unless the queen can remove the ropes that bind us, and if we want to make money, we should do everything we can in these places in Nanyang."

If the queen is willing to loosen the bonds, I, Lao Feng, promise that I will pay one million silver dollars to the queen mother a year to support Prince Yao to build Yaozhou. ”

The rest of the shopkeepers also clamored, hoping that the big shopkeeper could write to the queen and untie the shackles that had been tied to the Yun family over the years, and they all said that as long as they were allowed to do their own thing, money and food would really not be a problem.

Wu Changchun looked at this group of old thieves, shook his head with a smile, and said, "Since you all have no choice, you might as well listen to my advice." ”

When the shopkeepers saw that Wu Changchun was finally going to come up with the real thing, they quieted down one after another, and they very much hoped that the shopkeeper Wu could lead everyone to stand out from the encirclement as before.

"Your Majesty is going to be knighted overseas, you should know, right?"

As soon as Wu Changchun's words fell, the eyes of the shopkeepers suddenly lit up, but this light quickly dimmed, the Yun clan's clan rules stipulated that they could not touch these things, and those who violated the order died!

"Of course, we can't touch these things, but there are a lot of people who can touch them. There is so much we can do in between.

In this world, except for General Han and General Shi Lang, who can be more familiar with the conditions at sea than us?

We have a firm of business, we want a ship, a ship, and a person. If you want to use force, you have force, but now you don't have money.

As long as we unite with those who are qualified to be knighted, it is not difficult to make money. ”

"Doesn't this violate the rules of the clan?" Shopkeeper Qiu's tears were about to fall, and the lucrative Yun family who had no capital to buy and sell did it.

Wu Changchun coughed, took out a scroll from his arms, and said in a deep voice: "The patriarch has an order!" ”

Everyone was shocked, and they knelt down on one knee in front of Wu Changchun, bowing their heads and being silent......
