Chu Huan didn't know very specific about the barbarians, but as a nomadic in the north of the empire, Chu Huan had also heard of it, and even seen the barbarians.

Although the barbarians and the Xiliang people are both clans and tribes, they are very different.

Although the Western Liang people are divided into large and small tribes, each ministry alliance has a central control of the royal power, from top to bottom has a very strict hierarchy, although its system is not exactly the same as the original dynasty, but all aspects are also imitating the original system.

Moreover, although the Xiliang people are regarded as foreigners by the original people, there is not much difference in appearance.

The barbarians are different.

Legend has it that the barbarians came from the far north, many, many years ago from the north of the horizon, settled in the Gobi steppe in northern Xinjiang, they also have dozens of tribes, large and small, but there is no royal power, the tribes are allied with each other, today is an enemy, tomorrow is a friend, compete with each other for the rich grassland, although the same root and the same species, but attack each other, never show mercy.

Fortunately, the barbarians have the habit of fighting infighting, and they fight with each other for many years, so the threat to Daqin is far less than that of Xiliang, unless they are forced to do so, there are some barbarian tribes who are ruthless in attacking the Qin realm, and their purpose is really not to conquer the city, just to grab something and go back, a group of rabble bandits.

The barbarians do not know the number of courtesies, barbaric and ferocious, and the words are invisible, but they are very fond of the products of Daqin, if the merchants of Daqin enter the northern Xinjiang, not only will they not suffer from difficulties, but the barbarian tribes will treat them as guests and strictly protect them, although they are barbaric, they are not stupid, and they all know that if the original merchants have an accident in the northern Xinjiang, then the original merchants will not dare to enter the northern Xinjiang in the future, and the barbarians will no longer be able to get the good things of the original.

The porcelain, tea, silk, wine, and ...... of the original people are all good things in the eyes of the barbarians.

In fact, the two sides have begun to trade in the previous dynasties, but at that time the Dahua Dynasty was very disdainful of the barbarians, the original merchants could enter the northern Xinjiang, but the Dahua Dynasty rarely allowed the barbarians to enter the original trade, and after the establishment of the Great Qin, there were several tribes in the north with gifts and now pay tribute, and put forward the request of the Great Qin to open the pass and allow the barbarians to enter the business, His Majesty the Emperor was enlightened and granted the request of the barbarians, and for more than ten years, the barbarians and the original trade were in full swing, Although there are still some barbarian tribes occasionally invading the territory of Qin, the civil trade between the two sides has not been affected, and the caravans at Hukou Pass in Hexi are constantly day and night, and the trade between the two sides can be said to be very prosperous.

The appearance of the barbarians is very different from the original, Chu Huan has seen it before, but it is like the Europeans of later generations, with white skin, mostly curly hair, burly and muscular, in the eyes of the original people, it is not a robust beauty, but full of barbarism.

Feng Yuanpo, the Marquis of Jingzhong, proposed to open a northern Xinjiang trading ground at the border of Hexi, and Chu Huan immediately realized that this would indeed bring together a large amount of wealth.

He didn't know how Feng Yuanpo would accumulate wealth once the Northern Xinjiang Trade Ground was really opened, but one thing was certain, if the Northern Xinjiang Trade Ground was opened, then there would be a prosperous commercial area in the north of the empire.

The emperor didn't seem to think deeply about this, or he believed too much in Feng Yuanpo, and said with a smile: "Northern Xinjiang Trade Ground? Can this really raise silver taels for the construction of the Heavenly Palace? ”

"It can relieve some of the stress." Feng Yuanpo immediately said: "If the Holy Lord agrees, after the minister goes back this time, he will start to prepare for this matter." ”

The emperor said, "That's fine. However, this matter can be discussed with the household department ......! Looking at Chu Huan, he pointed at Chu Huan and said: "Marquis Jingzhong, this is the head of the household branch Cao who I just rewarded today, and I have to communicate more with Chu Huan about the wealth in the future!" ”

At this time, someone had already replaced Chu Huan to hold the scroll.

Feng Yuanpo looked at Chu Huan, his face quickly showed surprise, and said, "Lord Chu is young, he has to be valued by the Holy Lord, and he must be a young talent with outstanding talents. The saint employs people, and he has always made the best use of his talents, and Lord Chu is young and talented, and the lower officials really admire him. He bowed deeply to Chu Huan, with a sincere expression, but Chu Huan could only return the salute.

The Emperor smiled and said, "You are all loyal to me, and if you do your best, I will have no worries." Speaking of this, he seemed to think of something, his face sank slightly, and he asked: "Marquis Jingzhong, you just said that except for a few people, most of the officials are willing to contribute to the Immortal Palace...... Who are you referring to by this other person? ”

Feng Yuanpo's honest face was stunned, and he didn't seem to react, so he asked in a daze: "Holy Lord, Weichen...... Wechen doesn't speak ill of others. Suddenly, he seemed to wake up, immediately knelt down, and said in a loud voice: "Holy Lord, Wei Chen lost his words, Wei Chen lost his words, and please ask the Holy Lord to surrender his sin!" ”

The emperor said lightly: "I ask you, who is not willing to give generously? ”

Feng Yuanpo buried his head on the ground and said: "Holy Lord, Weichen just doesn't choose what to say, most of the officials of Hexi Province are dedicated to doing errands and are loyal......!" ”

"Jingzhonghou, you get up." The emperor shook his sleeves, returned to the golden chair and sat down, and sneered: "I want to know today, who is so stingy, I am rich all over the world, the people of the world are all my people, and the wealth of the world is also my wealth, is there anyone who wants to compete with me for wealth?" ”

Feng Yuanpo didn't dare to raise his head and said, "Holy Lord, Weichen...... Wechen said the wrong thing, Wechen should die, Wechen should be damned......! He actually hit the ground with his forehead, the ground was solid soil, and his head hit with a "thump" sound, but after a few clicks, Feng Yuanpo's head was actually broken, spilling blood.

When the ministers saw it, they were all surprised, and the emperor had already shouted: "Marquis Jingzhong, stand up!" ”

Feng Yuanpo stood up, bowed, bleeding from his forehead, and ignored it.

The emperor grimaced and asked, "You are an honest man, you have come to tell me, who is it?" ”

Feng Yuanpo said helplessly: "Weichen doesn't dare to deceive the saint, Wu Shitong, the governor of Liangzhou, Hexi Province...... Hey, Wu Shitong seems to have some objections to the construction of Asgard. At that time, all the officials were willing to give generously, but Wu Shitong said ......! Speaking of this, he glanced at the emperor and didn't dare to continue.

"What did he say?"

Back to the saint, Wu Shitong said that even if he donated his family wealth, it would be just a drop in the bucket. The project of millions of taels of silver is too huge, so why bother...... And why waste money? Feng Yuanpo said cautiously: "He also said that to build a palace, it is better to let the people eat a few more bowls of rice ......!" ”

"Bastard!" The emperor slapped one hand on the handle of the chair and was furious, "What is for the people, Wu Shitong's heart, others don't know, don't I know?" He used this as an excuse to be unwilling to donate money. Jingzhong Hou, I ask you, is Wu Shitong's family rich? ”

Feng Yuanpo hesitated for a moment before he said: "Wu Shitong has lived in Hexi for generations, and he is a big clan in Hexi, which is deeply rooted, and the accumulation of several generations is ...... It's a lot of money......! ”

"Rich family?" The emperor's eyes loomed: "I want him to understand that his family wealth is given by me, and I can make his family rich, or I can make him worthless!" ”

"Saintly, Wu Shitong may not be stingy and donate." Feng Yuanpo said respectfully: "Wu Shitong has a good reputation in Liangzhou, the people call him Wu Qingtian, his prestige is very high, his family is also the largest family in Liangzhou, as far as Wei Chen knows, in the event of natural disasters, the Wu family is often generous to rescue the people, the people have always been grateful to the Wu family, Wu Shitong is against the construction of the palace, perhaps...... Maybe it's really a misunderstanding that Weichen wants to work the people and lose money, so ......! ”

When Chu Huan heard this, he was secretly shocked.

This Feng Yuanpo's words are really more powerful than a knife.

If Feng Yuanpo said that Wu Shitong was not here, it seemed that he was deliberately slandering in front of the emperor, which would inevitably arouse suspicion, but he praised Wu Shitong in his words, obviously praised, but in fact, he had already given Wu Shitong a fatal knife.

The whole world is not the king's land, the shore of the land is not the king's minister, and the supreme god of the people's hearts can only be the emperor.

Feng Yuanpo said that Wu Shitong was the desire of the people of Liangzhou, and in his words, he mentioned twice and three times that Wu Shitong was a family of Liangzhou, which was deeply rooted and won the hearts of the people.

The emperor is not afraid of the courtiers' greed for money and the arrogance of the courtiers, but he is very fond of the courtiers to win the hearts of the people.

Wu Shitong is a big family in Liangzhou, and he has won the hearts of the people, the Wu family can give money for the relief of the victims, but the construction of the palace for the emperor is not a dime, and even opposed, where does this put the majesty of the emperor?

Chu Huan knew that as soon as Feng Yuanpo said these few words, the Liangzhou Governor was already fierce and unlucky.

Sure enough, the emperor had already said sharply: "He can give money for the people, but he is extremely stingy in building a palace, what is his mind?" Is it to buy the hearts of the people and make me an enemy? ”

Seeing that the emperor had murderous intent, the queen hurriedly said: "Holy Lord, take care of the dragon body, Wu Shitong may ......!" ”

"You don't have to say good things about such a chaotic thief." The emperor said coldly: "Spread my will, Wu Shitong has bad intentions, Yang Feng Yin is violated, such a traitorous minister, Daqin cannot tolerate it, remove him from the post of Liangzhou governor, confiscate his family property, and ...... it!" Before he finished speaking, the queen said again: "The saint is gracious, the saint pacified the world back then, and the Wu family contributed to the society, even if Wu Shitong is guilty, please open up the saint!" ”

The emperor frowned, paused, and finally said: "Cut it to the people, the children of the Wu family, and they are not allowed to be hired as officials." ”

Feng Yuanpo hurriedly knelt down and said: "Shengshang, although Wu Shitong is guilty, please ask Shengshang to read that he has served the court for many years, and he will be punished lightly, he is known as a clear name in Liangzhou, and after Weichen is willing to go back, he will persuade ...... well!" He seemed to be trying his best to say something for Wu Shitong, but the emperor was furious, and he had already said sharply: "Hugh has to say more." Marquis Jingzhong, I will send someone to Hexi with you to dismiss him from his official position ......! ”

Feng Yuanpo said helplessly: "Weichen obeys the order." It's just that in this way, the position of Liangzhou Zhizhou is vacant, Liangzhou is an important state in Hexi, and the position of Zhizhou cannot be vacant......! ”

"Who are your candidates?"

Feng Yuanpo hurriedly said: "The minister doesn't dare. Everything is still up to the Holy One. ”

"I'm not asking you to decide." The emperor said, "Tell me what suitable candidates there are!" ”

Feng Yuanpo thought for a while, and then said: "Du Shen, the director of the Liangzhou Ministry of Industry, is an honest official, very talented, and very familiar with Liangzhou, so he is a suitable candidate, but all this is still under the guidance of the saint!" ”

"Du Shen?" The emperor thought for a while, and finally said: "Spread my will, and let Du Shen be the governor of Liangzhou!" He stood up, as if his anger had not subsided, and said, "I'm tired, let's all disperse!" Xiang Feng Yuan said: "Marquis Jingzhong, you discuss with the household department about the affairs of the Northern Xinjiang Trade Field, and the affairs of Hexi, I will all hand over to you!" ”

Feng Yuanpo bowed his head and said: "Weichen swears to die to serve the saint, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" "I don't care about the blood on my forehead, I kowtow again and again, I am really loyal.
