"Don't worry, there is no mission for the time being. I'll tell you the goal when next summer comes, and then go on the offensive after the rainy season. In short, before your group rotates back to China, you will definitely make a windfall. Li You said.

Now, there is no problem for the officials.

Li You said: "During my absence, Su Guogong stayed in Kabul to take charge of the military affairs of the two provinces, and Ma Zhou managed the government affairs of the two provinces in a unified manner. ”

After the business was settled, he began to arrange the affairs of the three ladies.

At present, Xue Yantuo's army and Tuyuhun's army are one of the main forces here, and Murong Ling and Ashina Qing need to stay behind to stabilize these two forces. In order to develop business, Wu Xu was pregnant, so it was not suitable for him to travel for a long time, so Li You decided to leave the three of them for the time being.

After arranging all this, Li You took Zhang Guigui and others to prepare to set off.

Just as Li You was about to leave Kabul, Hamid sent someone.

The man who came was Gasif, the commander of the Iron Guard, who brought 30,000 Persian silver coins to buy a batch of weapons from Li You.

Li You sent someone to invite Cheng Yanjin to discuss this matter with him.

Cheng Yanjin said: "Your Highness, some of the weapons you brought are supplemented by the Turks, some are given to the Tuyuhun people, and the rest are equipped with the newly compiled 10,000 Rabitu people. There is really no more in the hands of the ministers. ”

When Gasif heard this, he immediately became a little anxious, and he said: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has recruited a large number of strong men, how can you do it without weapons?" ”

Li You was pondering, and Cheng Yanjin said: "General Gasif, the weapons of the Tang Army are indeed gone. However, we have just captured no less than 300,000 weapons from the Feituo Kingdom, do you want these weapons? If you want, I can give it to you cheaper. ”

Cheng Yanjin is a master of business, he can't look down on those miscellaneous weapons in the Feituo Kingdom, and he is reluctant to throw them away, so he has long thought about selling them for a big price. ”

Gasif was in a panic at this time, where could he be so picky. He said happily, "Yes, we all want it." ”

Li You said: "Since this is the case, then the two of you will talk about the price first, and then make a deal." ”

For Hamid, Li You has always been a strong supporter. However, the two newly built provinces are indeed short of money, and if they help him free of charge, they will win and cause everyone's dissatisfaction.

After speaking, Li You left the guest room. He went out, and when he passed by the window, he heard Cheng Yanjin ask inside, "General Gasif, how much money did you bring in total?" ”

Li You smiled and shook his head and left.

Not long after, Cheng Yanjin and Gasifu came to Li You, and Li You smiled and said, "Talk about it so soon?" ”

Cheng Yanjin said with a smile: "Your Highness, the ministers are all cheerful people. Besides, the king of Persia is a good friend of yours, and therefore I offer them a very low price, and the matter can be easily settled. Hehe. ”

Gasif said: "Yes, Your Highness, General Cheng is very refreshing, thank Your Highness and General Cheng." ”

Li You said: "Since you are both satisfied, then you can go and hand it over." He didn't pay attention to this, so he didn't ask how many weapons he sold, how much money they had.

The next day, Cheng Yanjin came to Li You again, and he said excitedly: "Your Highness, you have made a fortune, and the minister sold those rags for a total of 30,000 Persian silver coins. ”

30,000 Persian silver coins, but it is equivalent to 300,000 Kaiyuan Tongbao, and Cheng Biting Gold is really black enough, and he got all the money brought by others.

Li You smiled and said, "Su Guogong, it's a pity that you don't go to be a businessman." ”

Cheng Yanjin said with a smile: "Your Highness, the minister knows that His Majesty Hamid is your friend, and I not only gave him all the 300,000 weapons I captured from the Feituo Kingdom, but also gave them more than 70,000 weapons captured from the Turro Kingdom." ”

Only then did Li You remember that last time outside Kabul, he eliminated 40,000 Turas, and indeed captured a large number of weapons. The weapons of the Feituo Kingdom, if they are new, are worth 300,000 yuan, but there are many worn weapons in them, some bows do not have bowstrings, and some knives and guns are also rusty. Selling to Hamid is a bit of a bargain.

However, if you add in the more than 70,000 weapons captured from the country of Turro, it is about the same.

These weapons were indeed of little value to the Tang Dynasty, and Cheng Yanjin still made a sum of money for the Tang Dynasty.

Li You smiled and said: "Su Guogong, you do know how to do business, and next time you seize the weapon, you will be asked to sell it." ”

Cheng Yanjin left happily.

Li You said to the white tiger: "You go to Zhang Guigui and ask him to take out 100 Tang knives from the special combat team and send someone to General Gasif." ”

Li You is finally leaving.

As night fell, the red candles burned silently, and the lights flickered on the glasses of red wine.

The three ladies surrounded Li You, and the atmosphere was a little sad.

When it comes to political wisdom, Wu Xu is higher than Murong Ling and Ash Naqing, and in addition to her position as the minister of commerce of the imperial court, she has a clearer understanding of the dynamics in the court, she asked worriedly: "Lord Wang, after you return to Chang'an, what are your next plans?" ”

Murong Ling and Ash Naqing are also a little worried, when they were in Chang'an, their mood was not as good as here, although the living conditions here were not as good as Chang'an, but they were simple and clean, they hoped that Li You would stay here, there was nothing more comfortable than living a simple life together as a family.

Murong Ling said: "Husband, I think you might as well stay here, the emperor is far away, and the province is bothered in Chang'an." ”

Ash Naqing actually thought the same as Murong Ling, but she was unwilling to put more pressure on Li You. She said, "Your Highness, you don't have to care what we think, just do what you think." We'll follow you no matter what. ”

Murong Ling said: "Third sister, look at what you said, I didn't mean that, where my husband is, I will naturally be there." ”

Li You knows the historical process of the Tang Dynasty, he has done his best, as long as Li Chengqian can successfully ascend to the throne, it should be a good relatively happy ending.

Li You can't stay in Chang'an, his stay there will touch the interests of all parties.

The first is Li Chengqian, he will be embarrassed by the pressure from Li You, and those around him will also be hostile to Li You.

If Li You stays in Chang'an, Li Ke, Li Ke's brother Li Su, and even Li Tai will have an excuse to return to Chang'an, and there will be chaos in the court.

Li You made up his mind that he must return to Kabul.

Li You said: "I understand your intentions, let me tell you the truth, I don't want to go back to Chang'an, but I can't disobey my father's holy decree."

However, when I go back, I will find a way to come back here. ”

Ashina Qing said: "Your Highness, I miss Qing'er and want to take him over." As he spoke, his eyes turned red.

Speaking of this, Murong Ling also became sad, she said, "Husband, I'm going to pick up Ling'er too." ”

Li You shook his head and said, "I understand your feelings, but now is not the time, when I come back from Chang'an, I will pick up our children immediately." ”

Wu Xu said: "What the prince said makes sense, sisters, if you pick up the child now, then the prince's intention to come back is too obvious." ”

Murong Ling and Ash Naqing are both well-informed people, they can distinguish the priorities of things, and they no longer talk about picking up children.

Li You saw that the atmosphere was too depressing, and said with a smile: "How big is it?" It's been a long time since I've written a poem, so I'll write one tonight. ”

The ladies all liked Li You's poems, and they cheered up one by one. Wu Xu took the pen and paper and prepared the record.

Li You wanted to find a poem about the joy of the boudoir, but he couldn't find a suitable one for a while. Seeing the expectant eyes of the ladies, he found a random song and chanted"

Bingqing Yuying, is a boudoir show. Ten miles of rolling red curtains, good Zimo, every family has not. Natural temperament, high-pressure city spring, gorgeous flowers, moon spirit, plum rhyme waist and thin branches.

The curved screen is empty, and the mandarin duck embroidery is in vain. It's not that we don't meet, tears are empty, and we don't say goodbye every year. From his orchid chrysanthemum, autumn dew and spring breeze, it is not like the end, the jade people, a heart for a long time. ”

The poems of the Song Dynasty Zhonghe were very well written, but Li You felt that it was not appropriate to use them here. He was thinking about finding another cheerful poem, but he found the three ladies discussing excitedly around the piece of paper on which the poem was written, clearly showing affection.

Seeing that the ladies so quickly forgot about the dull topic and devoted themselves to the study of poetry. Li You suddenly felt a sense of responsibility - the ladies were able to relax quickly, which showed that they had infinite trust in Li You in their hearts.

In their minds, Li You is omnipotent and will solve all the problems he faces.

In the face of the heartfelt trust of these outstanding women, Li You felt a strong pride in his heart.

He swore that he would overcome all odds, including any enemy, and always shelter these women from the wind and rain.

Thinking of this, he walked over with a solemn expression and reached out to hug the three women.

The women were a little stunned by Li You's movements, but they immediately obediently pressed their beautiful cheeks against him.

Early the next morning, Li You finally embarked on the journey back to Chang'an.
