This is a strategy against the Western Regions.

Li Zheng saw it, and Li Shimin saw it even more.

The drunkard of Songtsen Gampo does not mean to drink, he wants to be the richest Xizhou in the Western Regions.

In this way, the connection between the Central Plains and the West was cut off, and the West Continent was used to bring a lot of wealth to Tibet.

"Tubo has never had a king in the true sense, Songtsen Gampo unified Tubo, I admire his ability, now it seems that Songtsen Gampo has a very long-term vision, if there is a chance in the future, I must conspire with Songtsen Gampo to get drunk."

Li Ji was strange in his heart, His Majesty's words seemed to have a feeling of sympathy with Songtsen Gampo.

Li Shimin whispered to Wang Ding: "Draft, bring the tiger talisman, and send a message to Wei Chigong without stopping, so that he can cooperate with Li Zheng's arrangement to take down the Tubo army west of Qilian Mountain, and let the Western Turks regain their territory from the Tubo people." ”

"Whoa!"

When Li Ji heard this, he asked unexpectedly, "Your Majesty, are we going to participate in this war between Tibet and the Western Turks?" ”

Li Shimin shook his head, "We're just getting started." ”

Li Ji lowered his head again, "Li Zheng has given the Western Turks a lot of things this time. ”

"Do what Li Zheng instructs, if Li Zheng does a bad job, he has his own compensation."

"Whoa."

On the second day, he walked out of the city gate as soon as the Chang'an city gate was opened, and there were few pedestrians outside the city.

At the gate of the city, he bought a carriage and a few horses with good stamina, and walked out of Chang'an, five miles away, where there was indeed a caravan carrying a cart of goods.

This caravan looks like a simple caravan, but it is actually an army of the Tang Dynasty.

These people carried the goods in silence.

Silent vomiting naturally joined the caravan and walked ahead, and as he joined the caravan, the speed of the caravan was also much faster.

At all the checkpoints encountered along the way, these soldiers didn't even check and interrogate after taking out the tokens, and they were directly released.

The more certain in his heart was that Li Zheng's business must have the nobleman from Chang'an involved, otherwise how could it be so smooth.

After walking for half a month, he silently communicated with the people of the Western Turks, and after both sides confirmed that they were correct, they handed over the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other, and soon reached a deal.

The Western Turks were also very generous, giving all they were gold and silver cakes.

The weapons here are the same, no more, no less, and there is even surplus food.

Silent vomit followed the Western Turks to the territory of the Western Turks, and the Western Turks now have great respect for Silent Vomit.

It was the first time they had seen a Turkic person who could buy weapons from the Tang Dynasty with such great powers.

Li Ji's people also walked back to Yanmen Pass with a cart of gold and silver cakes.

In Jingyang, Li is busy working on the newly opened wasteland, teaching the villagers how to grow cotton.

The earliest record of cotton was in the Song Dynasty.

It is impossible to know exactly how it was introduced to the Central Plains, but it was not widely cultivated until the Song Dynasty.

The big tiger ran and said, "General, something has been delivered." ”

Li Zheng handed over the cotton seeds in his hand to Li Zhi and Da Niu, and asked them to continue planting cotton.

Back in the horse circle, Li Zheng saw a cart of goods.

Lifting the black cloth that covered it, a yellow and white cake of gold and silver caught in my eyes.

"I've got money." Li Zheng picked up a piece of gold and tried to weigh it, and the portion was also very good.

Working beside Li Zheng, Dahu has never seen much money since he was a child, even he is numb now, and every time Li Zheng uses money in and out, it is transported by a truckload.

I never knew that Li Zheng had a lot of money, but I just knew that although Li Zheng was so rich, he was still careful with every penny.

With a lot of money and so much about the income of a few pennies, Dahu has suspected more than once in his heart that the rich people in Chang'an are also like this?

Li Zheng divided half of them, counting the total value of 100,000 pieces of gold.

As for the rest of the silver bread, it is his own.

The people of the Western Turks do not seem to be very good at arithmetic, according to the market price of Chang'an, one tael of gold is about 100 guan, and the market value of 160,000 guan of gold here is about 160 catties of gold.

plus the remaining 2,000 catties of silver cakes, it is a total of 280,000 yuan plus silver cakes, which is too much.

Li Zheng said to Dahu: "Dahu, you have to remember to learn arithmetic well, so as not to miscalculate and not know." ”

"Understood." Big Tiger nodded.

Li Zheng loaded all the gold in a carriage and said to Dahu, "Call Li Ke." ”

Dahu left in a hurry, and it took half an hour to call Li Ke.

Li Ke came to the horse circle and saw a large pile of gold placed on the edge of the horse ring, and his chin was about to fall to the ground.

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu has never seen so much gold?" Li Zheng asked.

Li Ke shook his head vigorously, "I've seen gold leaves, and it's the first time I've seen so much gold when it's so big." ”

Li Zheng said to Li Ke: "All this gold belongs to Your Majesty, I think it is better for you to hand it over to Your Majesty." ”

Li Ke looked at Li Zheng, "Why do you want me to send it?" ”

Li Zheng nodded, "Help me run errands, presumably His Royal Highness the King of Shu won't mind, I can't believe it if I let someone else send so much money." ”

Li Ke took a step back and said, "You can let Qingque send it." ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei is busy compiling the chronicles, His Royal Highness the King of Jin is still young, and the only one who can help is you."

Li Ke nodded, "Okay, I'll help you." ”

"Then hand it over to His Royal Highness the King of Shu."

Li Ke drove the carriage containing a cart of gold and left the horse ring slowly.

Li Ke, the king of Shu, was not in a very good situation in the court, and because of his background, he was not so popular in the court, so letting Li Ke send it to think about it could make his impression in front of Li Shimin better.

Everywhere everyone settles down, Li Zheng feels more and more like a sister-in-law of Aqing.

The rest is his own, and Li Zheng is thinking that everyone involved in this business will have to share a sum of money.

Li Ji must send some to the past, and he must express some of it.

There are also generals who are released at checkpoints along the way, but this money cannot be sent by themselves.

It has always been Li Ji's one-way contact.

I don't know who the specific people are.

All the gold has been sent to Li Shimin.

Li Zheng divided a pile of silver cakes, which were about 30,000 pieces of silver cakes.

Li Zheng handed Dahu a piece of silver cake, "This is for you." ”

Dahu hurriedly shook his head, "General, I can't ask for it." ”

Li Zheng said: "For you to marry a daughter-in-law." ”

Dahu said: "I still can't accept it. ”

Seeing Dahu's attitude, Li Zheng had no choice but to give up and say to him: "I'll give it to you when you marry a daughter-in-law in the future." ”

Divide the silver cakes into portions and cover them with a pile of meat dishes.

Together with the big tiger, he drove the ox cart and slowly walked towards the station of the Longwu Army.

With so much money, Dahu was a little nervous, and kept observing the movements around him, and it seemed that a group of robbers would come out to rob him at any time.
