Li Yan waited quietly for the planned caravan in Fengzhou, and on the other side, the letter he had sent to Chang'an had also arrived in Li Shimin's hands.

This letter was not delivered in the early court, but at noon, directly handed over to Li Shimin by the old eunuch Wang De.

"Commerce? Raise the soldiers of Fengzhou with the cattle and sheep of the Turks? ”

Li Shimin saw that this was Li Yan's letter, and he already had some expectations in his heart, after all, this was his long-lost son.

But after reading the whole letter, Li Shimin was stunned.

Li Yan's letter not only proposed trade with the Turks, but also vaguely revealed his desire to build Fengzhou into an economic city on the northern border.

"This ......"

Li Shimin was stunned for a long time, of course, the reason why he was stunned was not because he felt that Li Yan's plan was ridiculous, but because he felt that the proposal in the letter was quite credible.

The reason why Li Shimin was really stunned was that he never thought that his long-lost son would have such strategic vision.

This is no longer just a matter of military talent, but a complete manifestation of comprehensive ability.

"This is Guan Zhongzhi's ability......"

Li Shimin vaguely read the shadow of Guan Zhong of Qi State in ancient times from Li Yan's thoughts, and Li Yan's plan was quite similar to Guan Zhong's arrangement of pit Lu State back then.

If Li Yan knew Li Shimin's thoughts, he would definitely praise him fiercely.

He is indeed a means of economic warfare, and Guan Zhong is known as the originator of economic warfare by many people in later generations.

It can be seen that Li Shimin's own strategic vision is also quite extraordinary.

"Wang De, the purpose!"

Li Shimin didn't intend to put the essence of this matter in the court to discuss, and the fewer people who knew the core idea of Li Yan's plan, the better.

Now Li Shimin just wants Li Yan to play freely, and as for the discordant voices in the court, he naturally has him, the emperor, behind him!

In this way, a holy decree departed from Chang'an and quickly headed towards Fengzhou.

……

A few days later, Toyoshu, on the city wall.

Li Yan looked at the caravans that were constantly entering Fengzhou from the South City Gate with satisfaction, although the scale of the caravans coming now was not too large, but these people were just the first batch to test the waters.

Once the merchants determined that the Toyosu-Turkic trade route was really profitable, the size of the caravans that came later would definitely not be small.

Beside Li Yan, Wang Yu was a little restless, he looked at Li Yan from time to time, as if he wanted to ask something.

"General Li, you said before that the imperial court would agree to this trade, but ...... What about paperwork? I wouldn't dare to open up trade without paperwork. ”

Anxious, Wang Yu still chose to take the initiative to ask.

"Rest assured, it's almost there."

Li Yan was quite calm, he believed that Li Shimin's vision could definitely see the uniqueness of the trade war, so Li Yan never worried about the documents of the imperial court.

Now calculate the time, and the documents of the imperial court should be almost there.

Just as Li Yan calmly looked forward to the caravan entering the city, a figure dressed in a way that made Li Yan feel very familiar was not as good as his eyes.

Eunuchs, eunuchs who deliver decrees!

And according to Li Yan's eyesight, it seems that the eunuch who came back to deliver the decree this time is still the eunuch from the previous time, and if he remembers correctly, he should be surnamed Yuan.

"The paperwork you asked for has arrived, and it looks like it's still a holy decree."

Li Yan pointed to the direction where the eunuch was coming and reminded Wang Yu beside him.

"What? Saint...... Saint...... Divine decree? ”

Wang Yu shuddered for a moment, he looked in the direction pointed by Li Yan, and happened to see the eunuchs who came, and he was very worried in his heart, for fear that the content of the holy decree would be blamed and refused to open up trade.

Before the eunuchs could enter the city, the caravans lined up to be inspected by the defenders of the city were agitated.

"Look, there's a eunuch from the Tang Dynasty over there!"

"Be quiet, don't be taken seriously, this should be the messenger of the message, from Chang'an! This time, the Toyoshu trade may be true. ”

", if it's false, what are we going all the way to do? But did the Tang Dynasty really want to trade with the Turks? Sworn enemies can also do business? It's a long experience. ”

Most of the caravans under the city were Hu merchants, who were not Tang people, and they looked at the eunuch surnamed Yuan who was about to enter the city and discussed.

Seeing the arrival of this eunuch, the soldiers guarding the city quickly sent someone to report to Li Yan, and at the same time checked the relevant documents according to the process, and then escorted the eunuch all the way into the city.

"Father-in-law Yuan, we meet again."

Li Yan took the initiative to say hello, and people with a profession like eunuchs, Li Yan is in line with the attitude of trying not to offend, otherwise if there is a difficult situation for a little ghost, it will be too troublesome.

"I've met General Li, our family just returned to Chang'an a few days ago, but I didn't expect Your Majesty to send a holy decree to Fengzhou again."

Gonggong Yuan's attitude was as friendly as ever, but there was a little wry smile on his face.

His crippled body, trekking twice in a row, was indeed tired enough.

"Why don't you go and rest first? I am not in a hurry for the time being. ”

Li Yan said politely, his eyes glancing at the holy decree in a daze, obviously just plain polite, and he was not ready to act at all.

"This is different, or Your Majesty's holy decree is important, General Li, our family should congratulate you in advance."

When it comes to the matter of the decree, Gonggong Yuan does not dare to slack off, this is his duty, and there must be no problems.

"Disciple: Li Yanzhi's suggestion is very good! From now on, Fengzhou will be open to trade, and a commercial department will be set up to take charge of all the business affairs of Fengzhou, so that all caravans entering and leaving the Tang and Turkic borders will pass through Fengzhou. Li Yan, the general of Fengzhou, and the secretary of the commercial bank, fixed the five products, and took over all the business affairs of Fengzhou from now on. ”

"The first year of Zhenguan, the fourth day of the first month of November, Xuan."

The eunuch Yuan Gonggong read the holy decree in a straight voice, handed the holy decree to Li Yan, and then instructed again.

"General Li, Your Majesty asked our family to bring a sentence, the department of the firm was first established, and the general and envoy could act cheaply, and everything that affected the overall situation could be cut first and then played."

"General Li, our family's words are finished, our family will go to rest first, this journey can be tiring to death......"

The eunuch Yuan Gonggong looked like he was in prostration.

This long journey twice in a row is indeed difficult for an old bone with such a broken body as him.

"Father-in-law, let's rest, Li Yan naturally lives up to His Majesty's trust."

Although Li Yan hadn't digested the information of the Holy Decree for a while, he still hurriedly replied.

After sending the old eunuch away from the city wall, Li Yancai carefully read this holy decree again.

"Comptoir? Envoys? Is it on the fifth product? In charge of business? Paying your own taxes? So much power? ”

Li Yan was surprised, according to his understanding, the new part that Li Shimin set up in Fengzhou this time was enough to make earth-shaking changes in this border fortress.

This is clearly to build Toyosu into a special economic zone-like city in the future!
