If you transport materials from Chang'an, the time is a little tight, but the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce has business channels in Longyou Road, Guannei Road, Tuyuhun and Tubo, and there is plenty of time to organize the supply of goods from there. The reason why Wu gave them the task was mainly because they had the ability.

Everyone looked at each other and said in unison, "Yes." ”

Subsequently, Wu negotiated with them about the prices of various materials.

Then, Wu told everyone better news.

Wu said: "This time to buy supplies, I will pay you first." ”

This news was most satisfying to the merchants, knowing that so many goods and a lot of money were occupied, and although these merchants had a solid family, it was not easy to come up with so much cash.

Everyone was overjoyed and expressed their gratitude to Wu together.

In fact, Wu did this with her own plans.

It turned out that Wu took out 8 million yuan of money from the household department, so much money, even if it was paper money, it would be very dangerous to carry it on the road, and she gave it directly to the merchants, which not only avoided trouble, but also saved the cost of transporting money. She's not a loser.

As for the Persian silver coins worth 3 million guan that Li You confessed, Wu also handed over some of them to the merchants and asked them to disperse and take them to the Western Regions, and then she would exchange them with paper money.

Leaving the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce, Wu Ma rushed towards the Qi Palace, where there were already many people waiting for her who had received her notice.

Qi Wangfu.

Wu was busy all morning, and when he returned to the Qi Palace, it was already past the time to eat. She casually ate a few bites of snacks, drank a bowl of milk, and came to the living room.

There were a lot of people in the living room, and Wu said hello to everyone, and then went to the next room to meet the guests alone.

The first guest to meet was Yu Chi Baoqi.

Wu asked, "What about Her Royal Highness the Princess?" When Li You left Chang'an last year, Yu Chi Baoqi had already married Li Ruoyu, and the two were still working together.

"She went to Princess Xiao." Yu Chi Baoqi said.

Wu said with some envy: "It's so nice for you to be able to work together." For Li You not being in Chang'an, she was angry.

Yu Chi Baoqi said happily: "Her Royal Highness the princess will not go to work soon, she is already pregnant." ”

At this time, Wu was even more envious. She said faintly, "That's great, congratulations." As he spoke, he silently thought about his thoughts.

Wei Chi Baoqi saw that she was a little in a daze, and waited for a while and asked, "Your Highness, do you have anything to do with the ministers?" ”

Wu shook his head, drove away the distracting thoughts in his heart, cheered up and said, "The prince has sent a letter, he greets you." ”

Yu Chi Baoqi said happily: "How is he, Lord Wang?" ”

"Well, he's just thinking about you." Wu said.

She took out a list and said, "You can prepare the supplies on this and have them sent to the Governor of Bishadu." According to the price you set, plus the freight, the prince will settle it for you. ”

Yu Chi Baoqi took the list and looked at it, and said, "No problem, when will you want it?" ”

Wu said: "I'm not in a hurry, just ship it before the end of July." ”

Yu Chi Baoqi said: "Okay, the minister will go back and prepare." ”

Wu said: "Then I won't keep you, Your Royal Highness the princess, you have to take care of it." ”

"His Highness Xie is concerned." Yu Chi Baoqi got up and took his leave.

Then, Wu met with Li Duan.

After the greetings, Wu said: "You prepare the materials on the list as soon as possible and send them to the prince." ”

Li Duan saw that there were a lot of weapons on it, and the number was very large, and asked, "What does the military department say about this matter?" "He is in charge of the steel base and the arsenal, and after the weapons are produced, they must be filed with the Ministry of War.

Wu said: "You don't have to worry about this, I will handle the formalities." The sooner this matter is, the better, the prince is in a hurry. ”

Li Duan said: "The iron weapons and weapons are very heavy, I'm afraid I won't be able to go fast." ”

Wu said: "This is easy, you prepare more carriages, and each carriage is less loaded, isn't it." ”

"The minister understands, the minister will do it." Li Duan stood up and said.

Wu sent him out and advised: "This matter must be fast, there is danger in the prince's place, these things are very important, and they can play a decisive role at the critical moment." ”

Li Duan said worriedly: "Where is the prince now, how can there be danger?" ”

Wu said: "Don't ask, just do it quickly." ”

Li Duan left in a hurry.

Then, Wu met with Lu Dongzan, Gao Henian and others, and asked them for Persian, Dashi interpreters, and a large number of medical personnel.

After sending off Gao Henian, Wu was about to leave, Zhou Qian came, Wu said: "The prince has opened up a new market for our magpie trading company, you prepare some goods, go to test sell, and then build a branch there." ”

Taking advantage of this office matter, he expanded the business of the Magpie Trading Company in Persia by the way.

Zhou Qian asked: "Where is the small one to prepare the corresponding goods?" ”

Wu whispered: "It's Persia, you just need to know about this matter, don't mention it to anyone." ”

Finally finished, Wu stretched his arms, did a few chest expansion exercises, and walked towards the dormitory.

In the living room of the middle hall, Xiao Wanyu was helping Murong Ling figure out what she needed to bring when she went out.

Seeing Wu come in, Xiao Wanyu asked, "Have you done everything that Brother You explained?" ”

Wu nodded and said, "Don't worry, eldest sister, it's all explained." ”

Xiao Wanyu said appreciatively: "The fourth sister is really capable. ”

Murong Ling saw that Wu was so busy and could help Li You solve many problems, and said with some envy: "Fourth sister, you are really good, no wonder my husband praises you for doing it." ”

Wu said: "Second sister, you can really help the prince, the prince needs a large amount of salt, and you have to send it over." In addition, there is another important thing, the prince went out this time, and the people and horses he brought were not descendants, you are your own person, after you go back, take advantage of the salt for the prince, and send an elite army over to protect the prince. ”

Murong Ling patted his chest and said, "This is a trivial matter, I will go to my brother when I go back and ask him to send a large army to protect my husband." ”

Xiao Wanyu said: "The second sister is also very capable, and she can help Brother You a lot at critical moments." ”

Wu smiled: "The eldest sister and the third sister are also very capable, and the women in the Qi Wangfu are all very powerful." ”

Xiao Wanyu said proudly: "Don't dare to say anything else, who of our four sisters dares to underestimate it." ”

In Chang'an City, when it comes to Li You's four wives, it is really famous, Xiao Wanyu was originally a famous goddess in Chang'an, and now she leads the research institute, Wu is the minister of commerce, Murong Ling and Ash Naqing are not only county lords, but also have strong backgrounds.

Beauty and wisdom are equally important, and having such a wife is enviable, let alone four?! A whole team of dog abuse.

Li Chengqian and Li Ke are envious, not to mention, even Li Shimin said to Empress Changsun that Li You's concubines are the most capable in the Tang Dynasty.

A series of actions of Wu and others in Chang'an were an important support for Li You's expedition. Not to mention anything else, the Tang Dynasty is richer than the Arabs, which can offset the advantages of the Arabs.

Outside Kabul.

The sky was gradually dawning, and the pale blue sky was studded with a few remnant stars, and the earth was hazy, like a light veil shrouded in silver-gray. A soft mist rose over the fields, and the mountains were smeared with a soft milky white.

In the milky mist, a large group of Arab cavalry appeared on the hill in the distance.

"Prepare for war." Hamid's generals and Mi Huai shouted at the same time.
