Because Zhang De readily agreed to the request, Wang Tuan had to turn back to Jiangdong in the first month. At present, the resources they have at hand can only rely on the prestige of Datang, rather than their own strength. The white-glove firms that had previously profited for the Langya Wang clan were mostly in the East China Sea, and it was not easy to turn southwest to enter the Great Qin Ni Bora and Xiao Ni Bora countries through the Six Edicts.

However, on the fifth and sixth days of the first lunar month, Wang Tuan had already arrived in Yuzhou, and Wang Hongzhi was also there at this time, so he met with Wang Mo with him.

"Aya, the place of the six edicts is not willing to go, even the fangs don't want to go, why do we have to take risks?"

Wang Hongzhi felt strange and looked at Wang Mo very puzzled.

"Zhuge Wuhou Ping Nanban, he went to the end of the Han Dynasty, but now he can't go?" Wang Mo shook his head, "The old man doesn't believe it. ”

After that, he leaned back slightly, and continued: "From Chengdu, you can take a detour to Dongnu Country." But now that the Dongnu Kingdom has been given the title of school captain, it is the boundary operated by the imperial court, and there are Shu tycoons staring at it, so it is better to give up. From Chengdu all the way south, it would be good if you could open a road and build a bridge in the mountains and water. ”

It's a pity that just thinking about it, Wang Mo feels that it is impossible for anyone in this world to do it.

What kind of earth-shattering power should it be to open roads and meet rivers to build bridges in the mountains to have such ambitions?

However, starting from Qianzhong, passing through the Six Edicts, and entering the caves of the Six Edicts, Wang Mo is still very confident. This source of confidence is because he believes that Datang will be strong for more than a hundred years, and the worst is that it will be there in fifty years. In the past 50 years, with the help of the tiger power of the Tang Dynasty, he has panned for gold from the west of the Six Edicts, and the profits are not only huge.

"We are waiting for the tea and horse business, and we can make a lot of money with only one tea......"

Wang Mo said firmly, "Haven't you noticed that the six edicts of the land, the head of the village lord and chieftain, are also the same as the northern Hulu? If you use Jiangyou coarse tea to make tea bricks and follow the wisdom of the Northland, is it possible that our subordinates are stupid and wasteful, and they can't even say that they can use tea for barbarians? ”

Eating meat, eating greasy, without tea, is simply uncomfortable.

"Aye, the six edicts really have gold?"

Wang Hongzhi was a little unconvinced.

"Virtuous nephew, it's not just gold."

After that, Wang Tuan mysteriously took out an icy and jade stone from his arms, which was like glass, exuding amazing camouflage under the light. The appearance of both real and illusory made Wang Tuan feel beautiful: "Compared with Hetian Nuanyu, it is not good, but Zhang Liangfeng said that this thing is happy for women." ”

"If you don't believe it, how many princes are there...... Several ladies are all overjoyed. ”

In Wang Tuan's hand, it is a piece of jadeite, and it is still an excellent jadeite. Of course, in terms of performance, it is definitely not "the old ice seed glue and strong light full of apple green floating Zhengyang green jade A goods".

"How many?"

"It's hard to say." Seeing that Wang Hongzhi's eyes were straight, Wang Tuan shook his head, "Ji Han's old road to Lishui, there is a mountain city, not big, similar to the village of Hu Tuzhou, but there are a lot of people, there are 10,000 people. To the west is a tributary, the road is not easy to walk, it is called Longquan water, it is sixty or seventy miles to the northwest, there is golden sand, extremely rich. ”

After a pause, Wang Tuan continued: "This is here, except for Jinsha, there are mostly such jades. Zhang Liangfeng called it jadeite, which is also appropriate. ”

Then Wang Tuan said solemnly: "The barbarian customs here are grotesque, and you have to be careful before you can let you go west." Half a month away, it is the country of the little Brahman, and here is the real smooth road. It used to be all mountainous, with ravines, jackals, tigers and leopards. ”

"How does it compare to Qianzhong?"

"Although it is difficult in Qianzhong, you can still grow Ling rice and build terraced fields. That place was sparsely populated and mostly densely forested. Mosquitoes are huge and vicious, and giant pythons are all in holes, and they are infested by the sun. Speaking of tigers and leopards, the tigers here are smaller than the tigers of Liaodong, but they are extremely violent and never die. ”

Speaking of these guides' notes, Wang Tuan felt that his eggs hurt and he felt uncomfortable every time he thought about it.

"It's also thanks to the yellow artemisia soup, otherwise dysentery would have taken a lot of people's lives." As he spoke, Wang Tuan added, "The Northland Horse is useless here, just a piece of meat. Only the Sichuan horse and the Yunnan horse can move forward. ”

"Such a small horse, the size of a donkey, how can it be of such use?"

Wang Hongzhi was a little incredible.

But Wang Mo said: "The south and the north are different. Northland horses are good for galloping, but they are difficult to walk on mountain trails, let alone be a pack horse. What is your use as a mule? ”

"In short, although it is only Maoli, it is not a small profit to form a horse team and follow the old road of Ji Han to enter the Six Edicts."

"It's just that this kind of news will be kept secret for a year or two at most......"

Wang Mo was a little unwilling, according to the information at hand, the gold traded from the heads of the six edicts had exceeded three hundred catties.

And these 300 catties of gold are just the savings of various ministries, and they can't even talk about a single penny.

The most famous gold nowadays is "Jin Ya Jin", which is the emperor's private property. Even the emperor also specially used the Denglai Navy and Honglu Temple as a cover, in recent years, the emperor has rewarded in the first month, and it is no longer with Kaiyuan Tongbao and silk, but real money.

The emperor mastered the "Jin", the empress mastered the "Toyoshu Silver", and the strength of the husband and wife can be called the strongest husband and wife in history.

Zhang De asked Wang Tuan to prepare the table, not referring to the present, but after the Langya Wang family made a lot of money, he hurriedly handed the news of the six edicts of gold, silver, jade and timber to the outer court and handed it over to the inner court in exchange for the emperor's support.

If you want to gain a foothold in this empire, you can only trade with the emperor for the time being.

As for Zhang De's existence, it is just to blow away all the cats and dogs who want to come over and get a piece of the pie.

"Brother, what Zhang Liangfeng said is on the imperial court, and the merits here seem to be related to the Qinghai Army?"

Wang Tuan didn't understand this, but Wang Mo and Wang Hong understood the doorway.

So Wang Hong said straightforwardly: "Uncle doesn't know, the Qinghai Army built Wubao and opened up mountain roads, and invested as little as 200,000 guan a year, and more than 500,000 guan a year. Counting up, there are three or four million dollars invested so far. The various tribes of the Tibetan region were unified because of this investment. And then there is the attachment of the East Woman Kingdom, which is also the truth. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Tuan also understood: "No wonder Zhang Liangfeng said that this is a great achievement, if he can clear the official road of the mud Borak, wouldn't it be easy for the army to enter Tibet?" ”

Theoretically speaking, if the border armies of Jiannan and Qianzhong found a road that could smoothly enter Tibet, then it would be much easier to take the tea horse road than to enter from Qinghai, and even in terms of cost, it would be lower than the Western army detouring into Tibet.

Because the main goal of the Western Army is to target large-scale corps. However, the Tibetan tribes, not limited to Bolu, Zhangxiong, Tubo, etc., were scattered in land but concentrated in population, and the non-combat attrition of the Tang army into the plateau was too high, and it was almost predictable that there would be no one out of ten to reach the core area of Tibet.

The way the Qinghai army attacked the fortress was due to the strong strength of the Tang Dynasty and the reason for the helpless choice.

On this basis, the reason why the Western Regions is important is precisely because after occupying the homeland of the Han Dynasty, whether it is to go west to Hezhong or south to Tibet, the difficulty is much lower.

If the Langya Wang clan gives the Li Tang royal family a new choice, this choice will not only allow about 5,000 elite soldiers to enter the core of the land to be beheaded, but also have a certain benefit, which will naturally be a great credit.

"In this way, I have to go to the table first and find a few errands in Qianzhong?"

"If you can be sent by Honglu Temple and be a pacification ambassador, it will be of great benefit."

Thinking of this, Wang Tuan said: "Zhang Liangfeng has an old relationship with Honglu Temple, and it should be a gesture. ”
