The time entered the middle of April, and the news about the Qujiang Yahui was also spreading rapidly to the four sides, and there was no shortage of time between Qin and Yong to flow to Xijing Chang'an.

Although the event has not officially started yet, the atmosphere is already very hot. This can be seen from Wu Youyi, who has been quite excited about happy events recently, and frequently visits the palace, and every time he comes, he can't help but praise the young king.

There is no love and hate for no reason, and for this greedy warrior, the reason is more direct, that is, Xijing City has become prosperous again, and it has also caused his various side hustles to surge.

Originally, under the management of Wu Youyi, Xijing may not have reached the level of withering all industries, but it can also be said to be a pool of stagnant water. Hundreds of square residences, the popularity is not prosperous, many times are not the need to settle Xijing, most of them have their own places.

Without popularity, there is a lack of vitality, and a pool of stagnant water can catch a few catties of fish and shrimp? Even if you knock on the bone and suck the marrow, you can't extract much oil. The lack of vitality in the city made it easier for Wu Youyi to govern, but it also caused his various incomes to plummet.

But with the news of Qujiang Yaji, the situation is different. Not to mention anything else, the garden industry near Qujiangchi frequently changes hands, or openly buys or steals, behind every transaction, Wu Youyi can sit and take profits as a left-behind guard in Xijing.

Today's Wu Youyi, there is no need to worry about how to open up financial roads, with the recovery of popularity, naturally some people are aiming at Xijing and all kinds of idle resources around it, what convenience do they want, naturally they can't get around Wu Youyi, Xijing.

If Wu Youyi was cautious at the beginning, but with the fascination of wealth, his heart was greatly opened, and he made the young king who brought these changes an intimate and lovely fortune boy, lest the momentum not be big enough, and even took the initiative to send wanderers to disperse into the surrounding states and counties to spread the relevant information, in order to let more time flow converge in Xijing City.

Although he has not relaxed his vigilance against the young king, with the increase in personnel disturbances, there is naturally no more energy to cover all aspects, and strictly prevent all possibilities for the young king to fish in troubled waters.

Wu Youyi hugged the money happily, and Li Tong bought land boldly. Naturally, he didn't need to come forward himself, and the people of his own old clothes society wantonly bought those idle houses on the outer edge of Xijing City.

For example, in the south of Chang'an City, the Peace Fang and the Waiting for Xian Fang, almost all of Zhoufang are the industries of the Old Clothes Society, and many of the households in the community scattered in the field have also moved into the city one after another.

Originally, such a large-scale purchase of land and the relocation of personnel, as long as the officials paid a little attention, it was impossible to completely conceal it. But now, from the Xijing left-behind guards to the Fangding Street disciples, all the observations and hopes are concentrated in the Qujiang Pond in the southeast of the city and the wealthy families and merchants who enter the city on all sides, and how many people will care about those destitute exiles?

During this period, Li Tong went out of the city to bid farewell to Liu Youqiu and Murong Kang, as well as the more than 500 brave soldiers who followed him to Long. After these people ascended to Longlong, they were mainly familiar with the wind and climate of Longyou, and at the same time, they also had to carry out more sophisticated armaments.

Although the brave warriors were all brave, their poor armament still limited their use of force. Most of these people are the children of military families, and they themselves have ordinary weapons such as swords, but it is difficult to search for more sophisticated armor and bows and crossbows among the people.

There are many Qianghu prefectures in Longyou, and the control of ordnance there should also be broader, and if you can't buy it, you will rob it, which is not reasonable. Li Tong's request was to ensure that these brave warriors were well armed as much as possible before proceeding to the next step of plundering the Tibetan mainland.

Talking with Ma Xing, the veteran soldier who had fallen to Tibet, and others, Li Tong learned that the previous battle against Tubo had failed, and it was not only the front-line combat troops who were left in the wasteland, but also many craftsmen who accompanied the army.

This time, Li Tong hoped to rescue some of the military craftsmen, and then build his own weapons workshop in Hanzhong in Lingnan to continue to expand the courage of the armed old clothes society.

Heluo is the center of his grandmother Wu Zetian's key management, and Li Tong wants to build military reserves there, but it is still too risky, not easy to hide, and it is difficult to expand.

At present, Guanzhong is scribbled and messy, and those who are more powerful than him do not have such clear political intentions as him, so as to do business early and wait for long-term success, and wait until the future, if the holy car returns to Guanzhong, let these guys see what is called the land of Li Jialongxing!

In addition to this group of daring warriors who went to Longjiang, another group of daring warriors also left the Qinling Mountains one after another, scattered in the suburbs and counties around Chang'an, or pretended to be tourists, or pretended to be high-rollers who went to Qujiang Yaji, wandering in the suburbs and countryside to familiarize themselves with the terrain of the road and prepare for the sacking of Wuyouyi.

But this idea still faces a rather awkward problem at the moment, that is, the lack of horses. This group of thugs is close to Chang'an City, and they want to be snitches, if they don't even have basic mobility, then they don't mention anything.

Although there are many horses among the people in Guanzhong, they are mainly used as ordinary carrying forces, and they are really able to fight and act as war horses, not nothing, but they need to be carefully collected. Li Tong made a preliminary calculation, if he wanted to complete this looting and ensure that he came and went calmly, everyone had to prepare horses, not to mention that there were enough idle horses to replace on the way, and this gap was at least a thousand good horses!

Seeing this number, Li Tong also had a headache, it was not easy to collect so many horses, and it was almost an impossible task to maintain the breeding and keep everything in secret.

But with the close contact with Wu Youyi, Li Tong also had a preliminary estimate of his family background.

Not to mention anything else, just half a month after he entered Beijing, what he saw Wu Youyi holding money can no longer be described as the amount of the car.

A few days ago, he accompanied Niangniang Fang to Xingqingfang Wu family to visit Wu Youyi's princess Li, by the way, the luxury of living was staggering, it is said that half of the houses in the garden are to collect and store family wealth, and even the house slaves wear beads and gold. And this other business is just a place to entertain guests, not the main treasure place of Wu Youyi.

If you can leave the goods that Wu Youyi has hoarded, even if you borrow money to buy horses, you will not hesitate to buy horses. Li Tong is not hating others and laughing at others, he is simply jealous, but he feels that such an amazing wealth in his hands can definitely play a great role, so that he has some ideas in his heart.

Pressing these things aside, as the initiator of Qujiang Yaji, he naturally can't stay out of it. Although I don't have time and it's not good to linger in Pingkang Fang all day, I always have to ask about some basic operations.

On this day, he took time out to take his family on a tour of Qujiang. When the car drove to Jinchangfang, where the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is located, Yang Li, a Shu merchant, had already heard the news and said with a smile: "The king wants to make an elegant tour, and the car shop is inconvenient. Why don't you change to a pleasure boat here and enter the park by water? ”

Li Tong also went from good to flow, so he ordered his family to transfer to Jinchangfang, and changed cars from the dock to board the boat, which was naturally a flower picking boat carefully built by Yang Li. Needless to say, the shape of this ship is also chic and interesting, flying eaves floating, after landing on the upper floor, you will have a panoramic view of the winding scenery on both sides.

"The third brother is really bad, there is such an elegant game, but the family is only grounded in the mansion and is not allowed to play!"

Li Youniang rushed to the boat, and suddenly her face was excited, and she couldn't stop jumping at all, and kept shouting.

Li Tong saw that Tang Lingshu, who was standing behind him, was also a little uncontrollable, waved his hand and smiled: "The lady is looking for fun, and by the way, take care of the young lady." ”

Tang Lingshu suddenly showed a smile on his face after hearing this, and also quickly chased after Li Youniang, bypassing the screen in the boat, but found that Li Youniang was looking down in the corner, and silenced Tang Lingshu, came up and said with a serious expression: "Sister-in-law, we still underestimated the ingenuity of that Yang family lady." I saw it earlier, but I just warned her to watch her sister-in-law's eyes in the mansion, but this lady directly played fun outside the mansion. Look at how beautiful this cruise is, if it weren't for my intimacy with you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to help but get close to her......"

"You little lady, where did you get so many miscellaneous things. The king praised the Yang family's lady at home for her plan and was someone who could help......"

"That's the problem, other people's ladies are good-looking, interesting, and can help the field, but what about you?"

Li Youniang blinked and asked, but as soon as she asked these words, she saw that her sister-in-law's expression was frozen, and after a while, her eyes were already red, and she pointed at Li Youniang and said: "It's not that I can't know my own stupidity, I can't bear to think about it, I don't want the king to worry about this, but you little lady is so troublesome, so I have no place to be ashamed!" ”

"Sister-in-law, don't be angry, I'm not talking about this to make you worry, I'm just afraid that you can't imagine it. You are my sister-in-law, and you are different from the outside world, it is his responsibility for my brother to take care of you, do you see that I and my mother are not all idle all day? ”

"I'm not someone else's girl, and I'm not someone else's mother, the more idle I will be......

Li Tong didn't know that his little sister's essence had already made the house change, and he looked at the prosperity of the flowers on both sides of the strait on the deck of the pleasure boat, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The merchants sit on Jia, and what they do is nothing more than selling and selling strange, and the method of ten thousand sects is different from each other." The lady of the Yang family makes good use of her wealth, can spread out the prosperity around Qujiang, and does have a long career talent, no wonder she can be in charge of the family business. ”

Yang Li, who accompanied the ship, was also happy when she heard the king's praise, but she still said humbly: "What the people's girls have made is nothing more than a lot of money." Wealth is like flowing water in the world, how can there be a few special evidence, only when it is used outside, can it benefit the people. I am only one of the beneficiaries of the flow of wealth, and if I only hoard and swallow up, I will suffer from overflow. A little vulgarity is not elegant, and it may make the king laugh. ”

When Li Tong heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Yang Li. In fact, during this period of time, his evaluation of this Shu merchant woman in his heart has also been continuously improved, making good use of the resources in his hands, although it is simple, but it is not a skill that everyone can master.

Putting aside the immediate discussion, Li Tong raised his eyes to look at the Xuan Pavilion above, and smiled at Yang Li again: "In addition to visiting the garden today, there is one more thing to ask the lady." She is interested and active, but she is disturbed by trapped personnel and has to live in seclusion. I'm also in the middle of a human net, and it's hard to play games. The lady I have seen can be profound, and I hope to entrust her to you. She loves to ride and run, but she lacks the meticulousness of the process. I would like to expand a stable on the original playground, raise horses, and play balls, I wonder if the lady is willing to take this matter? ”

"Yes, of course."

Yang Li nodded hurriedly after hearing this, but just looked at the king with a confused expression: "The king is famous in the world, not only caring about the whole people's feelings, but also being pitiful and leisurely, and being in the subtle, which makes people admire." ”
