Chapter 677

"Uncle, although Zhao Di is good, I have already thought about it. ”

Wang Zheng suddenly spoke, just a sentence, and immediately interrupted Wang Yan's words. Sitting on the Taishi chair, Wang Gan's expression froze, and the whole person was stunned.

“...... I also thought about the issue of fiefdoms for a long time. Although Zhao Di is good, but for me. There is another place that is more suitable for me. ”

Wang Chong gently blew the foam on the tea surface, took a sip of tea, and said with a calm expression.

"You already have an idea?"

Wang Gan's eyes were open, and he couldn't react at all in his mind. I have to admit that Wang Chong's words were completely beyond his expectations:

"Where are you going to be a fiefdom, which place will be better than Zhao Di?"

"Wounded!"

Wang Chong stretched out a finger and tapped it on an inconspicuous position on the map spread out by Wang Gan, west of Longxi. Seeing the position of Wang Chong, the smile on Wang Gan's face suddenly converged, and it was difficult to remain calm.

"Chong'er, are you kidding?"

Wang Gan's eyelids jumped, and his first reaction was that Wang Chong was joking, or that he heard it wrong, or that Wang Chong had pointed out the wrong place on the map, but when he saw that Wang Chong was serious and not joking at all, his expression suddenly became much more solemn.

"Chong'er, the matter of Fengyi is not a trivial matter. Do you know how many great families, princes and magnates are envying us now? As soon as the Holy Emperor Chrysostom opened, this is a major event that has not been seen for decades, and the entire Tang Dynasty, except for the Jingshi, can be picked anywhere as long as you want. That's a great blessing. ”

For his nephew, Wang Gen has always attached great importance to and trusted him. In a way, he even values his own son more than he owns him. Others say that Wang Chong is the unicorn son of the Wang family, the first person of the younger generation of the Wang family, not his own son Wang Li, Wang Qian will not only not be unhappy, but will be proud and proud of it.

But this time it's completely different.

"Wu Shen, do you know what kind of place it is?'The world is rich, there is nowhere to Longyou', there is no better choice of Fengyi than Longxi. And...... Although there were some conflicts between you and Ge Shuhan during the incident, the matter of the feudal town was His Majesty's will, and even Ge Shuhan did not dare to point fingers. If this matter is done well, it will be of great benefit to both you and our Wang family. But you want to build a fiefdom on a barren land near the west of the moraine, what do you think?"

Wang Gan's words were very serious, he straightened up, and looked at his nephew's expression with a very serious expression.

Wang Gen has no impression of the place "black injury". But the location that Wang Chong clicked on the map, Wang Gen knew. If the place chosen by Wang Chong was slightly better, no matter what the place, Wang Qian would not be like this. But Wang Chong chose the barren land on the westbound road. This completely wasted the original intention of the imperial court to give Wang Chong and the royal family a reward.

"Hehe, uncle, I know you're having a hard time accepting it now. However, I have my own reasons for doing so. ”

Wang Chong laughed when he heard this, he picked up the tea cup on the table in front of him, and took a sip gently, his expression was calm and calm, and he didn't mean to be nervous at all.

"Why is that?"

Perhaps influenced by Wang Gan's attitude, Wang Gan took a deep breath and eased his attitude a little.

"Hehe, uncle, Wushu is indeed poor, not a rich place. However, Uncle take a closer look, what kind of place is this?"

Wang Chong said and lightly swiped his finger on the map, Wang Yan didn't see it at first glance, but his eyelids suddenly jumped at the second eyelid, and he immediately realized something, and said tentatively:

"You mean the Silk Road?"

"Yes!

Wang Chong laughed, not far from the "black wound" he selected, a road meandered through it, which was the famous and familiar westward Silk Road of today's foreign countries, including the Tang Dynasty.

"Do you want to make a fuss on this path?"

Wang Qian glanced at Wang Chong in front of him, with a thoughtful look on his face, and his expression gradually became less serious than before. The westward "Silk Road" is also the world's famous golden road, on this road, I don't know how many Eastern and Western merchants passed through it, silk, spices, jewelry, jade, porcelain, camels, tea, ...... , Hu merchants and merchants from the Western Regions who came to the Tang Dynasty to do business almost all passed through this road.

The huge price gap between the East and the West has given rise to huge profits. Therefore, a large number of wealthy businessmen were born on this road.

Those Hu people who came to the Tang Dynasty to do business were all very rich, pearls, agate, jade...... , for them are all clay tiles.

The things they buy and sell are all bulk items, and the wealth they earn is unimaginable for many people in their lifetimes, even the big families have to sigh with admiration, and it is difficult to carry them. In terms of importance, this westward road is well-deserved to be the first in the world, and its importance is far greater than the famous "Ancient Tea Horse Road" in the southwest.

To a certain extent, the reason why Datang has today's wealth is that this Silk Road, which maintains trade with other countries, also plays a large role.

"Uncle, Zhao Di is good, but after all, it is backwater. No matter how high the income is, it is 200,000 yuan, but the Silk Road traveling westward is different. Whether it is the Han Dynasty, the previous dynasty, or the current dynasty, the first thing to do after the world is stable is to open up the Silk Road of communication between the East and the West. You can imagine how much importance the empire attached to this trade route. ”

Wang Chong said confidently.

"Uncle, you also know how rich the Hu merchants in the Jingshi are. Those Hu merchants from the Western Regions, spice merchants from Dashi, and jewelry merchants from Tiaozhi come to Datang every year, and they all carry a huge amount of wealth. Uncle has ever thought about it, so many merchants come and go, how huge is the wealth circulating on this trade route every day?"

"This ......"

Wang Gan fell silent for a moment. How much importance the Tang Dynasty court attaches to this westward journey is clearer than Wang Chong. Not because of anything else, but because it was entirely the Holy Emperor's instructions.

In the Tang Dynasty, inside and outside the imperial court, no one dared to question the decision of the Holy Emperor.

That's why this trade route has always been unimpeded.

Moreover, one thing Wang Chong said is right, this westward road is indeed extremely rich, and the wealth flowing on it every day is difficult to calculate even the household department in charge of finance in the imperial court, let alone others.

"So what do you mean, Chong'er, do you want to grab profits from this trade route?"

"Hmm!"

Wang Chong nodded heavily, his eyes were deep, and his expression revealed a thoughtful look.

"But it didn't work. In the trade between the east and the west, those Hu merchants did their own business, and there was nothing that others could interfere in at all. In the past, when the Silk Road was opened, there were many princes and nobles who coveted this trade route, and even the princes of the royal family wanted to get involved. But then I soon found out that we don't understand the language of the Western Regions, Da Shi and Tiaozhi at all, and the Tang people don't bother to learn the language of Yidi, plus Da Shi and Tiaozhi are thousands of miles apart, they go too far, the road is hard, and they are not familiar with the environment there, so basically no one can participate in it. Those big families and nobles in the capital also gave up their minds completely after trying and failing a few times. ”

"Chong'er, it's not that I want to deny you. Your idea is good. But it's not very feasible in practice. ”

In the end, Wang Qian shook his head and looked at Wang Chong, revealing a trace of worry. Wang Chong's ability to think of using the Silk Road to the west, and his ambition to covet it, is worth affirming.

Still, he apparently took it all too simply.

If you can get a piece of the pie casually, the Tang Dynasty has been established for so many years, and so many princes and magnates in Beijing have already divided up the profits, how can it be the turn of the Wang family, and it is the turn of the present.

In the Southwest War, Wang Chong did show his talent in military Taoism. However, after all, the way of soldiers and the way of business are different, even if it is Wang Chong, it seems impossible to be proficient in both at the same time.

"Hehe, uncle, you misunderstood. ”

Wang Chong laughed when he heard this.

"I'm not trying to get involved in the silk, spices, and jewelry business, and get into the big food and strip sales. The westward journey is more than 10,000 miles, and you can only do one or two trips of business a year, and the time for the capital to turn back is too long. ”

"Money reversal?"

A look of surprise flashed in Wang Gan's eyes, but he quickly came back to it. He has long been accustomed to his nephew's "amazing words". The sentence "Whoever laughs last, who laughs the best" has long been well known in Beijing.

"If you don't get involved in these businesses, what do you want to do?"

This time, Wang Jian was really a little confused. The most lucrative things on the westward journey were silk, jewelry, spices, and ...... If you don't get involved in this, why make money.

This nephew, Wang Gen couldn't see through his thoughts at all.

"Haha, of course it's to build a city there and make those merchants' profits!"

Wang Chong smiled, and the teacup in his half-hand slammed, and the tea splashed and smashed on the map of the Tang Dynasty, representing the place of the Silk Road. This move was unexpected, Wang Yan looked at the extra cup on the Tang Dynasty map in a daze, and was speechless for a while.

"Uncle!"

Wang Chong pushed away the chair and stood up:

"The westbound road is very profitable, but the road is far away, the so-called long night dreams are many, because of this reason, so the westbound road is rampant with bandits, coupled with the complex terrain, so the imperial court repeatedly forbidden, and many bans are also in vain. ”

"Previously, because of the Hyderabad ore, I ordered Li Siye to exterminate the Black Dragon Gang, the biggest bandit on the Silk Road. But the Black Dragon Gang is only one of them, and before that, there were the Pei Long Gang and the Black Flame Gang...... , and there will be other gangs in the future. As long as there is profit, this situation will be repeated repeatedly. ”

"Imagine if there was a city on the way west, where all the caravans would be protected and resupplied. So would they like to come? And the westbound caravanserais, each of which was a huge caravan, hundreds of people, or even thousands, so many people stayed for every day, it was a big expense. If you could let them buy and sell things here for free, would anyone be willing to come and sell them? The westbound merchants were quite generous in this regard. ”

"And once these people gather too much, and then collect taxes at that time, Uncle thinks, what will happen to such a city? After all, this is a unique business!"

Wang Chong looked back at his uncle with a smile and said.
