Chapter Ninety-Eight: Money and Food in the Western Regions

Approaching the end of the year, there was a heavy snowfall, and after receiving the latest batch of supplies from Dunhuang, there will be no supplies in the short term. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info But the hardy Mobei horses are still busy here, grinding noodles, carrying goods, and delivering letters...... They work great. The hybrid horses of Hetao are more hardy than Mobei horses, but they are a little big and eat a little too much, but they are not suitable for this season.

Gotta get it......

The sound of galloping horses' hooves, accompanied by the turn of a cuirassier knight to dismount, heard him shout: "Captain! Captain! Bolu used troops against the area around Gandhara, and King Gabishi avoided the soldiers and went to the Mi! ”

"Good!"

shouted, and saw the bearded Cheng Chubi rushing out of the barracks barefoot, with only a linen liner on his body, his eyes were excited, rubbing his hands and waving his fists back and forth: "Okay!" Good! This can be extorted...... If you want to buy a dragon stallion that has lost honey, it can be sent to Dunhuang in the spring, and it will be able to give birth to horses next year. ”

The countries of the Western Regions, there must be a big problem for Li Chunfeng to target. First of all, the Gandhara has long been much worse than before, and there is an extremely unbearable situation in the country, that is, the king of Gandhara has become extinct!

The heirs of the Buddha kingdom are often destroyed very quickly, and the Gandhara at this time has been divided into more than a dozen small states. Just like Tocharian in the past, Tocharian is now divided into dozens of small city-states, the largest twenty-seven and the smaller fifty-six, all of which are subjugated to the iron heel of the Western Turks.

The Gandhara appeared in the Sindu River valley as a vassal of Gabissa.

Li Chunfeng is eyeing hundreds of Gandhara Garans, or rather, rich Garans. A large amount of gold, Li Chunfeng sent Liang Mengbiao to stare at Wu Zhan Na at the same time, in fact, it was a sound to attack the west. The king of Wudana summoned Lu Baoxiang and Liang Mengbiao that day, and finally fell into Li Chunfeng's calculation because of a small loss.

On that day, Lu Baoxiang made a suggestion to the king of Wudana, that is, if he couldn't borrow a winter's rations, then borrow a chessboard of grain, and if there was no food on a chessboard, then borrow an arrow and a leaf of grain.

The king of Wudana became interested, so Lu Baoxiang got a piece of Go chessboard from Liang Mengbiao, and said to the king of Wudana: "My Bolu Protector is a 'Tang Dynasty Immortal', and I love to play games, and this is the chessboard of Shangguo." ”

"It's okay to have a little food on the chessboard."

"Wait, your lord, listen to me. This rice grain is not much, but there is also a way to give it. ”

"Put one grain in the first grid, two in the second grid, four in the third grid, eight in the fourth square, and so on. What does the king think? ”

"You can't do it."

"Okay."

Then the king of Udana owed Bolu 20,000 years of grain......

But as a king, of course, you can rely on the debt, there is no chessboard, isn't there still an arrow and a leaf.

So the ministers of Udana hurriedly said that one arrow and one leaf are the best, the best.

Lu Baoxiang smiled evilly, and the tiger body of the king was shocked, but he heard Lu Baoxiang, the "Dharma Master", say: "I have Liang Mengbiao, a warrior from the kingdom, who can shoot arrows fifty steps away, and shoot a Bodhi leaf with an arrow, and the king will lend me ten camels' food." ”

The grain of a camel is about two stones, which is the default rule of merchants in the Western Regions. However, since he fell into the crooked trick of loading grain on a chessboard in front of him, the minister of Wuqi instantly lost his face, saying that a camel grain is only a stone in the Tang Dynasty, and your Bolu is really enough?

And Lu Baoxiang pretended not to understand and nodded.

And then......

Liang Mengbiao shot the Bodhi leaf exactly one hundred leaves, although the arm didn't seem to be his own, Liang Mengbiao still stood on Lu Baoxiang's side as if nothing happened, waiting for Lu Baoxiang to continue to shoot.

The prince and minister of Wu Zhan were scared half to death, how could he have seen such a divine shot, not to mention that his intelligence was suppressed at this moment, and he could not see that he could compete with force. So the two thousand stone of grain was "loaned" to Bolu, and there was no agreement as to when Bolu would pay it back.

With a shortage of 2,000 stone of food, Udana was unable to organize troops to interfere with the Boru's long drive to Gandhara. What's more, the Gandhara is now in a state of disintegration and disintegration, and seeing that Bolu is going to make a lot of money, he actually brazenly called the Poppy and occupied the territory west of the Sindu River with the Gandhara.

I thought that Bolu would obstruct it, but what I never expected was that Bolu acquiesced to Udana's behavior, which made the princes and ministers of Udana let out a long breath, and said in their hearts that this transaction was not a loss.

The name of this operation is quite "justice", so that Master Xuanzang, who is walking far away, is more and more respected by the locals.

The fertile lands east of the Sindu River in northern Gandhara were controlled by Bolu and many of the monks were dismissed. But the bald donkey with a bright brain instantly held high the banner of "Taihao Tianzi", expressing his willingness to make a modest contribution to "Taihao Tianzi".

"This Heru is the in-law of the Gandhara royal family, but now he is betraying the country to seek glory, seriously...... It's a delight. Li Chunfeng received information from Liang Mengbiao, and then said, "Now that you are guarding the 'Dharma Master' of the five directions, you can send the people of the three places to build the portal." ”

"Yes, real people can rest assured, a certain must be foolproof!"

According to Li Chunfeng's words, Bolu had five generous "Dharma Masters" who directly took refuge in him, only retaining the basic number of guards, and handing over the rest to Liang Mengbiao brought by Li Chunfeng. Because according to Li Chunfeng's design, as long as these "Dharma masters" do not ask for the people's lives and give the "people" a head, then theoretically, they can enjoy all the glory and wealth in the name of the "Dharma Master" for thousands of years.

Moreover, as long as you take refuge in the protector of the country, the golden body of the Buddha with hundreds of garans in Gandhara can be scraped at will......

Anyway, it will be melted and reforged, and the China Resources has long been hungry and thirsty, and has taken the bottom of the northern valley of Gandhara in order to have a large amount of gold in the silver mines here.

This is the real rich flowing oil.

Knock, knock, knock......

A large amount of timber was transported to the northeast of the Xindu River, where an improvised track appeared. The people who don't want money are like dead dogs, constantly tired to death in this cold winter. And the reason for this is simply that the Bolu people want to build a dock.

Nearly 1,000 slaves died, and when the "Tang Dynasty Immortals" heard about this, they hurriedly stopped the project and built a place to pray for blessings and incense burning, praying for the poor people who died, hoping that they could be reincarnated as the "Dharma Master" in the next life.

Those slaves who originally wanted to make trouble, ...... in an instant Touched.

Bo Lu's notoriety, under the benevolent act of the "Tang Dynasty immortals", seems to have diluted a lot. It's just that, with a crisp cross talk, the gold coins circulating in the Western Regions seem to have produced more from the China Resources.

Ding, ding, ding......

The crude and simple silver dollars of China Resources circulated from the city of Sindo to the Western Regions.
