After Li Shimin's gentle dial, the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly understood the importance of Xizhou.

It is no exaggeration to say that Datang is now the golden age of opening up territory, with Li Shimin, a majestic and ambitious emperor, plus a group of old generals who are like wolves and tigers, and a large number of soldiers and soldiers who have followed Li Shimin for many years in Datang Guanzhong, and whose physical fitness and battlefield experience are at their peak, as well as Datang's national strength is getting stronger and stronger year by year......

The mountains and rivers are magnificent, and they are especially fond of the Li family.

God spoils the Li family too much, intentional management, unintentional coincidences, the right time, place and people have been on the side of the Tang Dynasty in the past few years, so Li Shimin has the confidence to destroy whoever he wants, and he also has a strategic layout of conquering the Quartet and leaving benefits for thousands of years.

After the seemingly worthless city of Xizhou fell into Li Shimin's eyes, it became the most important chess piece of the Tang Dynasty's western strategy, and its importance even rose to the key factor in the success or failure of the Tang Dynasty's western strategy.

After straightening his mind, a trace of solemnity flashed in the eyes of the eldest grandson Wuji, which was not only for Xizhou, but also for Li Su.

In the heart of the eldest grandson Wuji, although Li Su's transfer to Xizhou was not the result of angering Li Shimin, it was somewhat mixed with this reason, after all, the long fu was too mean, and what was even more damn was that it was so flowery and thought-provoking, although Li Shimin was broad-minded, he must have been very angry in his heart, and it was reasonable to throw him thousands of miles away, out of sight.

What's more, the private relationship between Li Su and Princess Dongyang was known to everyone in Chang'an, and in order to keep his baby daughter from being remembered by thieves, it is also the proper meaning of the question to throw Li Su away.

The eldest grandson Wuji didn't expect that it seemed to be a derogatory statement, but the real inside story was Li Shimin's further reuse of Li Su, and the transfer of Li Su to Xizhou was not a derogatory, but a heavy responsibility. In this way, the key to the strategic layout of the western part of the Tang Dynasty lies in Xizhou, and the key to Xizhou lies in Li Su......

What's even more incredible is that in such an important city, His Majesty actually said that he was willing to exchange ten Xizhou for Li Su's safety, and the only one he wanted. I only want to use Xizhou to smooth the edges and corners of Li Su, so that I can reuse him with confidence in the future......

With such a holy family, how many people can there be after the founding of the Tang Dynasty?

In an instant, Li Su's weight in the heart of the eldest grandson Wuji was invisibly heavier.

Looking at the small circle representing Xizhou on the map, the eldest grandson Wuji stroked his green beard and said, "Your Majesty, if Xizhou is as hard as Li Su said, why don't you allocate some more money and grain, and then transfer two Zhichong Mansion soldiers from Guanzhong to Xizhou." Gaochang, Qiuzi, Turkic and so on are ready to move, and there are only two Zhichong Prefectures in Xizhou, and Li Su is afraid that he will not be able to hold ......"

Li Shimin smiled bitterly: "I went north to Xue Yantuo, and the elite soldiers in Guanzhong were all transferred by me, and even the Zhichong Mansion in Hebei and Hedong was also transferred by me, and the rest were all in charge. Don't act rashly, and say more. Now that the war with Xue Yantuo is in a stalemate, isn't it a surprise to send troops and horses into Xizhou at this time? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji thought for a while and said, "The war between the Tang Dynasty and Xue Yantuo will be three months at the earliest and half a year at the latest. Xue Yantuo must be pacified by His Majesty, so it is better to send a soldier and horse Qiao to dress up as a caravan, just so that grain and grass can be used as goods, and weapons are hidden in the goods. An inconspicuous caravan entering Xizhou City will not attract the attention of the spies of the Western Regions, what does Your Majesty think? ”

Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "The auxiliary machine was born with a delicate heart......

The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile: "Your Majesty has laid down such a good situation, there is no room for mistakes, and the minister is just doing his duty." ”

*****************************************************************

Western State.

The young man, who was extremely valued by His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the Prime Minister, was unaware of it, and was leading a group of cavalry soldiers to swagger down the streets of Xizhou.

Li Su is extremely melancholy, such a handsome young man walking on the street, even if he doesn't achieve the effect of "full of red sleeves", he shouldn't be avoided like a tiger going down the mountain, right?

Before I knew it, it had been a year since I left Chang'an.

At this time, countless literati and writers should walk in the suburbs full of cherry blossoms, gathering in groups of three or five, chanting new poems, expressing strong feelings, and the maid next to her poured wine for the master in a timely manner, and by the way, she gave the master a look of worship and ambiguity.

And Dongyang, at this time, should probably sit alone by the familiar Jing River, wearing a sackcloth robe, looking at the slowly flowing river alone, sighing silently, lightly relieving the sorrow in his stomach, and then suddenly realized his identity, and silently recited a few words of pure heart mantra in the entanglement and self-blame, and couldn't help but hurt the lovesickness again......

Xu Mingzhu ...... It's almost time for the Jade Gate to close, right? It is an unwise choice to insist on following Li Su to Xizhou, whether she loves her or not, Li Su is burdened with the responsibility of being a husband after all, and may not be able to give her the love she wants, at least she should be responsible for her, and tricking her to leave before the danger comes, is the only responsibility Li Su can do to her.

The sun in the desert is much milder, not as vicious as before, and the wind and sand are still cold, blowing on the face is always mixed with sand grains, which makes people's faces hurt.

Li Su had to cover his head and face with a cloth towel, revealing only a pair of black eyes, followed by dozens of cavalry soldiers who also covered their heads and faces, looking like a group of arrogant and arrogant terrorists, swaggering through the streets of Xizhou, which was more annoying than the legendary picture of the evil young man leading the dog-legged fish and flesh people.

"This is my new house, huh?" Li Su stood in front of a busy construction site, blinking curiously at the scene of craftsmen and people in full swing not far away.

Na Yan had a slumped face, looking unlucky before others owed him tens of thousands of dollars, and nodded weakly: "Exactly, Li Beijia is still satisfied?" ”

Li Su pouted noncommittally: "It's okay, it's a pity, the fly in the ointment is ......"

Na Yan knew what he was going to say, and said with a bitter face: "Dig a big lake in the house, this ...... Not really. ”

"It's going to be done...... Li Su smiled very modestly, and said with a straight face: "I'm coming to Xizhou as an official." It's to endure hardships and temper yourself, not to enjoy, there is no lake in the new house, I think I can still accept it, after all, this is a desert city, and I. I've always been a person who goes with the flow......"

That Yan's cheeks twitched, how could he be embarrassed to say such shameless words? The new house covers an area of more than ten acres, larger than the Thorn History Mansion, the buildings and pavilions are all there, the courtyard is even planted with poplar trees, the entrance corridor and the front hall are painted with new paint everywhere, the light can be seen, the marble screen in the hall is painted with landscapes, birds and fish. That screen alone is worth more than a dozen dollars, and the guy in front of him actually said seriously that he was here to endure hardships and temper it......

When did the officials of Datang come out with such a shameless guy? Iniquity......

That old Yan's face twitched like a precursor to a stroke, Li Su couldn't help patting him on the shoulder, and said with concern: "That brother, are you okay?" ”

Na Yan shook his head: "The villain is fine......

"Oh, building a new house is a happy event, don't cry and mourn, be happy."

Nayan's face twitched uncontrollably again.

Your happy event. It's all my money...... I really can't be happy, Na Yan didn't feel so distressed that he looked up to the sky and vomited blood. Thanks to the fact that he exercised regularly when he was younger, he had a strong heart......

…………

…………

The construction of the new house has been two months, and the foundation has been laid on the uninhabited land before, and the outline of the mansion can be vaguely seen. Otherwise, in order to save money, Nayan is likely to build a thatched house for him...... The thatched house is perfunctory, and it is a little too simple for Li Su, who came to Xizhou to endure hardships and temper himself......

The sandbar has a steady stream of masonry, stone and mud tiles used to build houses, which is interesting. In the past two months, more and more caravans have come to Xizhou, and most of them are merchants from the Western Regions, including Hu merchants and Tang people.

Xizhou is facing great danger, but also means huge benefits, when the merchants who transport bricks and stones from the hands of Na Yan received a car full of copper money payment, the news finally spread out uncontrollably, legend has it that there is a big head in Xizhou to build a house, build a house is very luxurious, need countless masonry and mud, and pay the bill in cash, never on credit, there is a lot of money here, people are stupid, come quickly......

What made the merchants especially ecstatic was that now the officials of the Xizhou Assassin's Mansion no longer exploited the merchants who had entered the city, and when a merchant accompanied him with a smiling face and carefully handed out the so-called commercial head fee that he usually had to pay to the officials in charge, he saw the pale face of the official who was dying, not only did not collect a penny, but also ran away in a hurry like a dog.

Naturally, the news spread quickly among the merchants.

At the same time, from the Western Regions full of goods Hu merchants passed through Xizhou, found that Xizhou was different from the past, involuntarily stayed in the city for a few days, and the city's businessmen chatted with each other, and finally knew that Xizhou had a new driver, this driver was only more than ten years old, but he was the reincarnation of the fierce god, just less than a month after taking office, he killed thirteen evil officials and traitors who exploited the fish and meat merchants of the people, the atmosphere of Xizhou City improved in vain, and the city was cleaned up, and since then on the Silk Road, The merchants had another city where they could settle down for a long time......

Therefore, although this reincarnated fierce god is a little more murderous, it seems to be ...... Not a bad thing.

Merchants are the best at drilling camps, and the travel is also extensive, after a few words of chatting, strangers quickly become mature people, so they can't help but talk about their own business transactions, so they began to ask each other what goods they brought, Hu merchants from the Western Regions were full of woven blankets, exotic gold wine bottles, silver wine bottles, all kinds of dazzling works of art, and even including foreign musical instruments, grain seeds, etc., and the merchants from the eastern sandbanks unloaded the bricks, stones, mud and tiles in the West State, the caravan had to return empty-handed, which was too inconsistent with the business principle of profit and profit, so one east and one west, one wants to sell, the other is willing to buy, and the topic of the two sides gradually shifts from talking about gossip to talking about buying and selling.

Hu merchants are full of goods to go to Chang'an to buy and sell, from Xizhou to Chang'an is still thousands of miles away, this Silk Road is not very peaceful, all the way to not only face the natural disasters that may occur at any time on the desert, but also to bear the risk of being looted by bandits on the road, now there are businessmen in Xizhou who are willing to take over their goods, why not?

So, the two sides hit it off and closed the deal after some fierce bargaining.

It's a good thing that the goods are sold without danger or danger, but the Hu merchants can't go back to the Western Regions empty-handed. Profit and profit is the principle of business, so the Hu merchants instructed the merchants from the east of the sandbank to bring the Tang Dynasty's exquisite porcelain and silk and other products when they come to Xizhou next time, and the two sides are convenient to trade in the city of Xizhou.

And the Hu merchants who sold the goods. The governor of the West stayed there, waiting for the merchants of the sandbar to bring goods to trade, and waiting for new merchants in the city to trade with them......

Then, the bored Hu merchants who wandered around the city suddenly found that there were gambling stalls and Fengyue places in the east of Xizhou City, the scale of the two was not large, both the decoration outside the house and the furnishings in the house were very simple, it looked like a cottage place, but for these businessmen who had money and leisure and had nowhere to pass the boring time, it was tantamount to discovering a glittering gold mine.

The merchants were ecstatic. They all brought enough money and went into the gambling stalls and Fengyue places.

The shopkeeper of the gambling stall is very fierce, there has never been a so-called home-like service concept, whoever comes in is impatient shouting and scolding, Fengyue place is even worse, several exotic bearded girls who don't know from which corner are all middle-to-bottom, and can only be said to be barely able to get into the eye. Whether it is singing music or dancing, it is clumsy and ugly. The amount of wine is surprisingly large, and the cow drinks that sit next to the Hu merchants take sip after sip, and the merchants who make a jar of grapes do not drink a few sips, but all of them go into the stomachs of the Hu women, and the Hu merchants sigh in distress when they pay the money.

But, despite this. The business of gambling stalls and Fengyue establishments in the city is very hot.

There is no way, the Hu businessmen have no choice at all, like Chang'an, if they want to pass the boring time, they have to spend money, as for the gambling stall shopkeeper, you are welcome...... Never mind. They went in to gamble, not to be ancestors, and those ugly bearded girls...... In this desolate and lonely city, the Hu merchants saw a sow and felt that its side face was so beautiful, and no matter how ugly the Hu girl fell in the eyes of these uncles who spent money, it was naturally even more beautiful and beautiful.

It seems that there has never been a big change, and there has been no propaganda around beating gongs and drums, but Xizhou City has really become different from before. The number of merchants in the city gradually increased, and the shops in the east and west markets gradually increased, and the goods also increased...... There is a lot of everything, Xizhou City is no longer the lonely and lifeless dead city of the past, as if someone has injected a bubbling spring into it, and the land next to the spring is originally grassless, and the grass gradually grows after being moistened by the spring, and it is full of flowers, and then, there are bird calls, insect songs, and a green shade.

In just a few months, there have been changes in Xizhou, these changes are not remarkable, in fact, the houses in Xizhou are still houses, streets are still streets, and even the officials and government soldiers who patrol the city are as usual with a stinky face, listlessly patrolling back and forth, but ...... Xizhou is indeed different.

A lot of people don't notice these changes, and at the same time, a lot of people do. For example, Cao Yu of the Assassin's Mansion, such as Na Yan.

Na Yan has always lived in the pavilion in the city, every morning, when he stretched his waist and stepped out of the pavilion, the first step to land found that it was different, every day, every day there were small changes.

Yesterday the pavilion outside the deserted, today but a few happy businessmen, I don't know from which Hu businessman took over a batch of goods and planned to leave for Chang'an, tomorrow, the street outside the pavilion suddenly has two more traders selling cheap goods, whispered but resolutely along the street to sell, another day, early in the morning can still hear the pavilion not far from the wind and moon land faintly heard the sound of silk and bamboo music, mixed with the Hu girl silver bell...... No, the barbell-like laughter drifted far away with the wind, and I don't know which rich Hu businessman was full of energy and good health, and he actually messed with Hu Nu all night......

A short period of time later, Na Yan saw with his own eyes the changes in Xizhou day after day, and then, he was finally shocked.

A few months ago, Li Su's words were still echoing in Na Yan's ears.

"I want to make Xizhou a pearl in the desert, blooming bright light at any time, it is a gold hole, a transit station for the intersection of East and West goods, so that people don't want to leave after coming in, Xizhou is no longer a lonely city."
