Gaochang in the Western Regions, the military department Shangshu recruited Wang Zuxian, the head of the head of the Fuwei Dart Bureau, the head of the head of the dart, Wang Zuxian, and after arriving at the camp, the one-armed swordsman went to Hou Junji to give a military salute. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Brother Wang is a town general in Guannei, and he has been sealed in Chang'an, why is he still fighting outside?"

"The general manager is tolerant, it's not that I'm blessed, it's just that the family has another one, and I followed the county king in front of me, and when I came back to the Western Regions, I also wanted to fight a 'general' before I died, guerrillas, guerrillas, rangers, all right."

"How much money can I get in if I go back and forth in the dart game?"

As soon as the words changed, Hou Junji made Wang Zuxian stunned for a moment, but Wang Zuxian still raised his arm, bowed and continued, "If it is like Wiesel, it will be more than 5,000 yuan in one trip." ”

"How much?"

"Earlier, I went north of Jinshan, not to mention sand thieves and horse bandits, but to talk about mosquitoes in Jinshan, and only the Fuwei Dart Bureau has objects to repel mosquitoes. In addition to the honorarium, Wiesel would also give us some camels and horses, and some linen cloth, which would also make ten times the profit in the Western Turks. ”

"After hearing about your business, I was also moved."

Hou Junji touched his head, sighed, and then looked at Wang Zuxian, "How many Chinese can Brother Wang speak?" ”

"The Turks, Persians, Tibetans, and Tocharians all know something, and I've been dealing with them for the past few years. You can also see a few lines of Lu Wen, a merchant in the Western Regions, and it is not a skill to be able to speak the language of several countries, but Lu Wen is the most important. In this 10,000-mile Buddha country, Lu Wen has the merit of similar Chinese characters. ”

At present, doing business in the Western Regions, from Jinshan to Northern Tianzhu, is generally subject to Lu Wen. The main reason is that most of the Buddhist scriptures are in Luwen, and merchants and monks often go together, so over time, such a strange habit has been formed.

The Persians could not speak the Bolu dialect and were not afraid, but they could speak Luwen, so they could communicate with the Bolu nobles and do business.

Before Li Chunfeng came, he mainly studied Lu, Sanskrit, and Persian all the way, and he knew Turkic himself, and because of Tuyuhun, Tubo could speak four dialects, but he never knew whether Tubo had written languages.

"Hmm......" Hou Junji's eyes were a little deep, and he stared at Wang Zuxian, "I heard that Brother Wang's family Langjun is under Zhang Caozhi's hands?" ”

"Thanks to Zhang Liangfeng's attention, I have some errands in Denglai now, I went to the East China Sea before, and I write letters from time to time, but I don't know what to do now."

"That old man and Brother Wang can also be regarded as having a relationship." Hou Junji stretched out his hand and gestured between Wang Zuxian and himself, looking extremely familiar.

"I haven't consulted the ...... manager yet"

Wang Zuxian looked at Hou Junji a little strangely.

"Old man's son." Hou Junji paused, and said with some complexity and emotion, "It's also under Zhang Caozhi's hands......"

With a long sigh, I always feel that Zhang Gongjin is a head shorter. God knows how Hou Wending recognized Zhang De, he is older than Zhang De!

Now Hou Wending is in Shicheng Iron and Steel Plant, and the letter he received before the Western Expedition said that there would be another year, and he would go to the imperial examination once, and then return to Liaodong to be a county magistrate.

Mother's ......

"I really didn't expect it."

Wang Zuxian was a little surprised, of course he would be surprised, the son of Shangshu of the Ministry of War was actually mixing rice under Zhang Caozhi, how could this be embarrassing?

"Forget it, just don't mention it. But with this connection, I can talk to Brother Wang about the current matter. ”

"That's what the Governor commands."

"The eldest brother has no military position, and the old man can't send instructions." That being said, but Wang Zuxian is a retired officer in the end, and theoretically as long as the emperor says a word, he is a soldier. Moreover, the combination of Fuwei Dart Bureau and Li Simo, the king of Huaiyuan County, is quite deep, and Li Simo, a mad dog, is the emperor's white glove, so Wang Zuxian knows very well that if he wants to stabilize the job bowl of the Silk Road in the Western Regions, Hou Junji, the current supreme governor of the Western Regions, has to listen.

"I was born in the army, I don't want to be a veteran, the general manager gave an order, and the Fuwei Dart Bureau is a warrior who dares to die!"

"Good!"

Hou Junji slapped his thigh suddenly, stood up, and then looked at Wang Zuxian, "Now, there is something important!" There are business and private matters. ”

"Public first and then private, please speak."

"Rest this year, accumulate a year's strength, wait for the grain and straw to be in place, the soldiers' fighting spirit is rising again, choose the opportunity to take the south of Tulun moraine, and open up the trade route of Bolu Pass!"

Of course, Wang Zuxian would not say that this trade route was originally open, but the territory south of Tulun Moraine to the Bolu Pass is currently in Khotan's hands. Now that he is dead, Cheng Chubi has been awarded for his merits, and he is currently leading the troops to guard the post of captain of the school. The imperial court has not yet set up a unified military office at the end of the period, but it still gave Cheng Chubi two regiments, one of which was a soldier that Cheng Chubi brought when he was a captain.

Generally speaking, the Tang Army gives a full quota of 200 people, but in fact, it can't be used up at all. However, Cheng Chubi is here, there is a regiment of more than 300 people, not to mention the full number, and Li Simo, the dog cub of the mad dog, has about a brigade and a team, there are 150 people, all of whom are quite powerful mounted infantry.

In other words, according to the documents sent to the imperial court, there were only two regiments. But on Li Shimin's desk, it was clear that there were 750 people here, and they were all soldiers.

This amount of troops, if taken by surprise, can directly destroy any so-called great power in the Western Regions. But at present, if you want to digest the old lands of Gaochang, Jimo, Shanshan, and Tuyuhun, it is of course impossible for the Tang Dynasty to continue to use troops. It's just that even the Hu merchants in Chang'an knew that it was ironclad for the Tang people to continue to advance westward, and it was only a matter of time.

In the past, the biggest problem with westward expansion was that the income was too low, not to mention, the investment was huge. And the logistics have to rely entirely on Ganliang Guanzhong, if it is not for the Silk Road is really a big profit, and the Han Dynasty has the Xiongnu on the side, subjective will, the Han people did not go through these garbage areas of the mind.

The Central Plains does not like to grow wheat, not only because the grinding technology is not up to par, but also because the output is too low. But no matter how low the Central Plains is, there will always be a few buckets of one stone, and two or three stones of more can also be. However, a wheat-rich land like the Western Regions, the best land in the river, has never reached two stones. If further west, 20 catties of wheat seeds can only be harvested between 40 catties and 70 catties, and in this way, there are very few rebels.

And as long as the grain output in the Central Plains is generally about one stone, then the anti-flag has already begun to fly, and it is not one or two.

Times have changed, and whether it is Li Simo or Fuwei Dart Bureau, there are a large number of special carts, which can reduce transportation losses to a very low level. At the same time, whether it is the Shandong Shi clan or the Guanlongmen valve, or the upstart Zhenguan, after five years of Zhenguan, they are all competing for fat profits.

Even Emperor Li, who has never "competed with the people", ended up almost shirtless, and you can imagine how terrifying the benefits are. Not to mention Li Shimin himself, because Visel handed over a batch of golden sands to the eldest grandson queen, this generation of virtuous queens rarely blew the pillow wind, so that Li Shimin knew profoundly: Although there may not be a grain in the sea of sand, as soon as the camel bell rings, the earned golden sands will fill the Luoyang Palace sooner or later.

At present, the market in Shazhou is actually digested and eaten in the mouth, and it is placed in front of it steadily, and the hunting is not far away. And in the end, what happened on the day of the destruction of the city, the people of Khotanese did not even dare to discuss, they only felt that the "evil ghosts of the Tang Dynasty" should never set foot on their land.

It's a pity that the truth at the moment is called the strength of the soldier and the strength of the horse; Today's justice is perseverance.

"The situation is changing now, Your Majesty needs eyes and ears, the reputation of the Fuwei Dart Bureau is outside, and Hu Shang has many contacts. Brother Wang, are you willing to move forward? ”

If there is an adventurer's union at this time, I am afraid that there will be countless from Shazhou to Liangzhou. Wang Zuxian thought about what Hou Junji said slightly, and listened to what he meant, but he was afraid that the emperor needed more information. And it's not the Tulun moraine.,But to the territory of the sheep fan.。

The risk is not great, or even that there is no risk.

"So-and-so said, the chief is sent but there is no disobedience. What's more, this is the king's order. ”

"Good!"

Hou Junji shouted again, and then said, "Let's talk about business, let's talk about private matters." ”

The military department Shangshu clapped his hands suddenly, and two giant men walked in with boxes, Hou Junji nodded, and a giant man opened the box, and inside was a piece of gold bar, which was neatly stacked.

"What do you mean, sir?"

"I heard that there is a dragon stallion in the lost honey, and the old man hopes that Brother Wang will help him find it. With the face of Fuwei Dart Bureau, when someone matches Brother Wang. ”

Hearing the three words of the dragon stallion, Wang Zuxian instantly became excited. This matter has long been in full swing, it seems that the imperial court wants to build a new horse farm, and it has been able to produce Hetao horses stably, but the emperor is not even satisfied with Qinghai Cong, let alone a slightly inferior Hetao horse.

The emperor was very demanding, and the lost honey dragon stallion wanted to get together a "hundred horses" to come out.

And in recent years, the emperor has been extravagant, not to mention the new repair of Luoyang Palace, and at the same time as the Daming Palace is being built, it has expanded the Forbidden Garden. Rewarding the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, the previous reward of 10,000 gold, that is bullshit, ten through the Kaiyuan Tongbao. In the past few years, the emperor has really taken out hundreds of silk horses to reward, and even the very expensive cotton cloth is not stingy. For example, Li Jing and Li Ji are not short of good horses, and Jinshan is chasing the wind and throwing out almost fifty horses.

However, the emperor's pomp was so big, and only Wei Zheng persuaded him a little symbolically, in the final analysis, these rewards were all the emperor's own internal money, and they had nothing to do with the foreign dynasty.

The emperor spends his own money, how to spend it, that's his business.

Not to mention spending his own money, according to the emperor's current status, even if he uses a year's national tax to build, the important ministers will not necessarily obstruct it.

A small willfulness of power is also allowed......

Due to the involvement of sugar, rice paper, briquettes, hemp materials, raw silk and other products, the funds that the royal treasury can provide to Li Dong have long exceeded Yang Guang's squandering.

Just this year, Li Dong also renovated Taiyuan Palace, the summer resort of Jiucheng Palace, and added a new road and a track for convenience.

In this external situation of successive victories, although it is not enough to get carried away, it seems that Hou Junji and others still flatter the emperor subtly.

The list of sycophants who are fortunate to be villains is too numerous to mention.

However, no one can say anything, because the person who criticizes will be brutally slapped in the face by reality, and he will be slapped in the left cheek and the right cheek.

The "clear streams" who thought they had the truth could not understand why the emperor, who had swept away the "thrifty" style, could still maintain such an efficient success.

Dragon Stallion ......

Wang Zuxian muttered in a low voice, a little embarrassed, "Chief, this matter ......"

"Is there a problem?"

Hou Junji was stunned for a moment and asked in a low voice.

"The difficulty is not in the loss of honey, but in the ......" Wang Zuxian hesitated, but gritted his teeth and said, "The king of the county also has some precautions, if you get a good horse, I am afraid that you will not be able to get around." ”

Hou Junji groaned and nodded, indeed, Li Simo, a mad dog, couldn't get around it at all. Unlike Hou Junji, who needs to queue up to shoot sycophants, the old mad dog is simply free from anywhere, regardless of the situation and environment, and his master can shoot immediately to the point of being so happy.

"There's nothing the old man can do." After thinking about it, Hou Junji didn't have a good way to bypass Li Simo, but he still said in a begging tone, "However, Brother Wang, with the friendship between you and me and Zhang Caozhi, I still hope that Brother Wang will help you." Old man...... I won't do you any wrong. ”

"This ......"

After struggling inwardly for a while, Wang Zuxian certainly knew the status of the secretary of the military department, and even knew that Hou Junji was still the Duke of Luguo. However, Li Simo, the mad dog, is the king of the county, and he is also a close minister of the emperor, so he is no different from a eunuch. After Shi Dazhong, he really can't pick a loyal dog who is more loyal than him.

What's even more troublesome is that Wang Zuxian's Qiang girl continues to string, and now she is back in Huaiyuan, and she has some properties in Dahe Workshop. And Li Simo and Zhang De are partners, and business has always been done together.

However, Wang Zuxian thought of his son Wang Wansui again, and then thought about Hou Junji's son Hou Wending, and said in his heart that this world is rich and noble, and this world is fighting, and the descendants can't be with the Turkic mad dogs, paving the way for the children and grandchildren, so why should they have a relationship with the military boss.

So his eyes were calm, and he nodded vigorously at Hou Junji: "Don't worry, I won't let the manager down." ”

"Good!"

Hou Junji was suddenly overjoyed, in order to pat the emperor's ass, he tried his best, the emperor was at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and it would be no problem to live for another one or two decades, and when the time came, would the Western Regions take it all? A Western Regions Protectorate, or Anxi Protectorate, must have a governor after all, and he Hou Junji is not qualified now, and the emperor is not at ease, but it does not mean that he is not qualified after being filmed.

At present, the emperor talks about pomp, if he gets a hundred dragon stallions for the emperor, if he Hou Junji can't get into Wei Chigong's part, he will commit suicide!

"Brother Wang, the old man has prepared some turbid wine, and I hope that Brother Wang will drink it together!"

"Thank you, manager, that's nagging!"

After that, when the table was opened, there was wine, there was no shortage of cattle and sheep, a lot of livestock, and seasonal vegetables, which were obviously prepared.

Hou Junji was relieved in his heart, and he pondered that as long as Wang Zuxian brought the centaurs to Bolu, and Li Chunfeng was by his side, he would be able to get a dragon stallion sooner or later. At that time, it's not about being flexible or not, it's about how well you have connections in Bolu!

Thinking of this, the military department Shangshu smiled.
