Chapter Twenty-Seven: Companions Are Enemies
"Aye, what kind of soup is this, it smells so good."
Zhang Wei, who tirelessly pursued knowledge, looked curious, but his father glanced sideways and shouted: "Don't look at Xue Niang, what are you doing here?" ”
"Oh."
Zhang Wei, who lowered his head, went out of the door, and after a while, the old Zhang who was drinking soup raised his eyebrows and found that Zhang Luoshui was looking at him with his fingers.
"Xue Niang, do you want a bowl of oxtail soup? It's delicious. ”
The servant girl was clever, and hurriedly took a new silver bowl and put a bowl aside.
"Send it."
"Yes, Lang Jun."
Then the maidservant took Zhang Luoshui and went to the toy room. When he arrived in the room, Zhang Wei was holding back his strength and drawing crooked flowers and trees on the paper. When Zhang Luoshui arrived, he threw the colored pen in his hand: "Sister, look." ”
Zhang Luoshui looked happy, and the bowl of oxtail soup brought by the maidservant girl was naturally forgotten. Then Zhang Wei licked his tongue, picked up the soup spoon and took a sip, the taste was very satisfying.
After drinking the oxtail soup, it is definitely not just Zhang Wei who feels that he has changed his person, he also has a lively posture, although this thing only has the blessing of metaphysics, but Lao Zhang, who was squeezed by the Turkic brand juicer and was about to dehydrate, really feels good at this moment, and wonders if the oxtail soup is replaced by bullwhip soup......
Although Wuhan is busy in the first month, most of the goods are still in the hold or warehouse. The whole world is red, bacon, bacon, bacon, frozen meat...... Red and white are intertwined, and the beauty is breathtaking.
In the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, there are more and more horse gangs set up by "making up members", and the south and north tones are extremely intense, and the grotesque and awkward "Luo Xiayin" come and go, but the direction of the horse gang is very clear, to the west, to the north, to the west, and then to the north, and to the west, and to the north!
At the turn of winter and spring, the amount of oil consumed every day, whether in the north or in the west, is the value of thousands of calculations. The price of one stone of lard can be exchanged for about three times the price of brown sugar, which is a kind of sugar from Beitianzhu, although it is not white enough, but it is close to the color of white sugar.
There are even some high-quality Tianzhu white sugar, which is already pure white sugar, and there is no difference between it and domestic white sugar. Just in order to suppress the price of these Tianzhu white sugar, whether it is a white glove business or a local snake who "cultivates and reads heirlooms", Tianzhu white sugar is invariably classified as "brown sugar".
The Tianzhu merchant is not stupid, although he wants to hype up the color "yellow" in a way, but unfortunately it is useless. Tianzhu people don't know what the big sugar farmers in China are thinking about.
The people who want to establish a tea horse road are by no means the only Langya Wang, and the surname who wants to consolidate the family heritage in a roundabout way is not the only Wang.
Because of the relationship between Zhang and De, Xiao Ergongzi is cheeky from time to time to call himself the father-in-law of Liangfeng County, of course, he has never admitted it verbally, and he is playing tacit understanding on some special occasions. If he dared to say that Zhang De was his "virtuous son-in-law", he would probably not live for 17 years of Zhenguan.
This is a rather awkward relationship, but no matter what, people at the time still envy Xiao Keng, a fool, who actually did a good job in the long run, and the family business obtained by the two daughters in exchange for "harmony" was enough for Xiao Ergongzi to work hard to give birth to a few losers and squander it for decades.
It is true that Xiao Keng is a prodigal, but the Xiao family is always a shrewd person, and the Wang family must have a reliable partner if he wants to do the tea horse ceremony, and the Xiao family is based in Jingchu, so it is naturally a qualified choice.
At the same time, Xiao Shi does have a reason to do this, because the time it takes to open up a tea horse road is about two years, and after two years, it can really return to the capital.
But Shaw's current profits have nothing to do with tea or horses. In Jiangnan and Jiangdong, the Shaw family mainly relied on the sugar industry as the main source of profits, and the income from grain and cloth was not much because the competition among its peers was too fierce.
With Zhang De in Wuhan and Wang's matchmaking, Xiao now just wants to hurry up and pass the tea horse road and kill the batch of Ah San who produced "brown sugar".
Yes, the driving force behind Shaw's is derived from this absurd reason.
In fact, Xiao has asked Xiao Ergongzi to help him pass a message to his two "baby" daughters, hoping that Xiao Yan and Xiao Shu can blow the pillow wind, so that a certain Jiangnan soil dog can convince a certain brother or a stinky Taoist priest in the Western Regions, and then the army will press the border and kill the Ah San who dared to sell sugar to the Tang Dynasty.
It's a pity that Zhang De refused.
He is not mentally retarded, and for the sake of Xiao's sugar, he spent resources to make the "giants" of the Western Army not fight the Turks and fight Ah San. Not to mention that it must be a loss, just this behavior is enough to cover the door.
As for the real person of "Huang Guanzi", although Lao Zhang was "responsible" for the life of the Taoist Chief, it does not mean that Li Xianchang, who is now addicted to playing demon slaying and demon slaying, has really become a magic stick, and the blank holy decree in the hands of others is not Lao Zhang's. This is also Jane's old bachelor in the emperor's heart.
Therefore, Xiao has to rely on himself and be self-reliant.
As for whether there is a chance to kill Ah San, who sold sugar to the Tang Dynasty, this is not what Lao Zhang has to care about.
Lao Zhang was even more concerned about that, in order to ensure that the fat in his mouth would not slip away again, Li Dong actually repeatedly emphasized the policy of the Western Regions at the Zhengdan Dynasty Meeting for XX years, and then gave more than 20 captains to the small tribes in the border region of Qinghai, including the Dongnu Kingdom, in one go.
Whether it is Huaihua or Guide, but for the time being, the eastern region of Fandi can be regarded as officially entering the tributary system of the Tang Dynasty, and a system like the Dongnu Kingdom, just like the Yelang Kingdom back then, their armed forces, in the Han Dynasty, well, under the protection of the Tang Dynasty, do not need so much.
To maintain basic law and order, it is enough to catch a repeat cattle thief like Liu Hongji.
As for the central part of the Tibetan region, especially the relatively densely populated areas and agricultural areas dominated by the city of Luo, like the Bolu Kingdom, one by one the "Dharma masters" received the rewards in front of Li Zhenren, and groups of "rulers" pondered how to squeeze the last bit of oil and water......
Since following Li Xianren can fill the house with herds of cattle and sheep, gold and silver, why should Lao Tzu fight to the death?
As for the "ghost people" who have been beaten to the bottom, they are captives, slaves, and bankrupts, and it would be good if they could survive, but they still want to live?
Unlike most ordinary people, Xiao Shi knows the changes in Tibet, and even the situation in the Western Regions, so in the face of the situation of "no tigers in the mountains" in Beitianzhu and Tibet, and there are no monkeys, Xiao Shi feels that his 1V6 is simply trivial.
As long as the tea horse is ripe, Ah San, who dares to sell a piece of sugar to the Tang Dynasty, will all be damned!
Tang Dynasty Tang Dynasty, didn't you see that it was the Sugar Dynasty?!
Shaw, he was furious.
