Also doing big business are Xiao in Shu and Shelong in Yunnan, Wang Hao once again proved in front of Shelong that he is like a god, the skill of an unpredictable prophet, when he wore a domineering military uniform, riding a short Yunnan horse back to Yunnan, Wang Hao has helped him prepare a lot of things.

For example, the notoginseng in the list given to him by Li Shimin, this kind of medicinal herb that needs to be dug up, divided into roots, and dried by the stem before flowering in autumn, Wang Hao took advantage of the season to prepare dozens of cars for him, and there are still a large number of clansmen who are busy with this matter.

Also prepared, there are also heavy floors, bead ginseng, maca, fritillary, walnuts, schisandra, peppercorns, etc., etc., as for tea, you can get a very large amount of fi here at any time.

Moreover, the young and strong people of Mengshezhao were all organized in the area of some ore mountains, repairing houses and building workshops.

Shelong suspected that Wang Hao had listened to Li Shimin's explanation to him on the spot, and had seen the list of items in his hand.

"Wang, Wang Gongzi, can I call you that?" With seven points of awe and three points of apprehension, Sheron asked Wang Hao.

Wang Haowan smiled and said, "It's okay, most people in Guanzhong call me that." Much more pleasing to the ear than the great wizard you are shouting about. ”

Sheron continued to ask, "Did you also go to Guanzhong?" ”

Wang Hao shook his head and said, "If I go to Guanzhong, who will organize someone to help you get so many things out?" ”

"Then how do you know that I will need these things when I come back from Guanzhong?"

"Reckoning."

"Extrapolation? Are you Central Plains people so powerful? No wonder our Bai clan has the legend that your Zhuge Wuhou is like a god. ”

"Hehe, there are naturally few people as smart as Zhuge Wuhou, but it is not difficult to deduce these things. Now, you can take these goods and go to Xiao to exchange ten times as much food, ironware, and all kinds of goods you brought back.

When you finish exchanging and escort things back, I'll give you more of these things, and you can exchange more things back. By the way, you also have to ask Xiao Duo to send some people over, just say that you have a lot of copper mines here, and you need them to help organize mining and preliminary smelting into copper materials, so that they can be transported to Shuzhong to mint money. ”

"Uh, this, tenfold?" Shelong's eyes widened, and he looked at Wang Hao in disbelief.

Wang Hao nodded with a smile and said, "That's right, it's ten times the amount, I believe he will be willing to exchange with you." ”

In Shelong's cognition, these things prepared by Wang Hao are all worthless things that grow all over the mountains and fields in Yunnan, and the spirits, canned food, ceramics, perfumes, and other goods he brought back from Guanzhong are all extremely expensive things, and it is too subversive to use these useless things in his hands to exchange for ten times as many good things.

He didn't know at all, the value of a pound of precious Chinese medicine in Guanzhong, ten catties of grain, or canned food, spirits, could not be equated with it at all, often a penny, it was dozens of hundreds, rare, one or two can be sold for several times, Wang Hao roughly said ten times, and he was too lazy to help him calculate them one by one, besides, it was his purpose to make Xiao feel the huge profits.

Sheron felt that happiness came too suddenly, he just went to Guanzhong, and the people in the tribe praised him ten times more than before, especially when he distributed the materials he brought back from Guanzhong to everyone, and everyone looked at him again, it was no longer respect, but worship.

He felt that this was the effect of his majestic military uniform, so he decided to wear it in the future, and he wanted to give himself some capable subordinates, and also imitate one, anyway, brought back a lot of such fabrics from Guanzhong.

At night, in a clean house, Wang Hao lit incense to repel mosquitoes, and smeared a lot of toilet water on his body, these things made by Sun Xiangfu can indeed improve the comfort of his residence in Yunnan.

Soon, Zhang Cheng came in to pay a visit.

"Childe, everything is as you expected, Li Shimin did not believe in the struggle between Tuyuhun and the party departments, and sent Li Ji and Niu Jinda, each with 30,000 soldiers and horses, to take the initiative to attack and test, and have seen their hypocrisy, and also secretly sent 50,000 troops into Shu to defend, it seems that he is not at ease with Tubo."

"Hehe, if Li Shimin didn't have some real skills, how could he get to where he is today step by step. By the way, what is the combat power of the Tang Army now? ”

Zhang Cheng replied. "Very strong, Li Ji only led 30,000 horses, and he was able to fight back head-on when he was ambushed by more than 100,000 Tuyuhun troops, and the battle losses of the Fuyun army were as high as 30%, and more than 20,000 prisoners were captured. Since then, he has relied on the vast territory and the speed of the army, avoiding battles everywhere, and Li Ji is afraid that he will lose the way back, so he is advancing steadily and slowly.

Niu Jinda also had 30,000 horses, and he defeated hundreds of thousands of allied troops of the party departments head-on, and attacked a village and broke a village, capturing all the old and young of the party departments, and if this fight continues, within half a year, the party departments will live a homeless nomadic life like a nomad on the grassland. ”

"It's only 30,000 horses, and in the face of an ambush of more than 100,000 troops, can you still fight back? And defeat the hundreds of thousands of coalition troops of the party departments head-on? ”

Even Wang Hao has always been optimistic about the combat power of the Tang Army, but these data make him a little hard to believe.

"This is the good news that the imperial court has announced to the world, it should not be wrong, but unfortunately, at the military parade in Chang'an, the subordinates only saw the army wearing regular clothes, their bodies are well trained, all burly and powerful, it is said that all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, as long as they go to the battlefield, they will be equipped with iron armor all over their bodies, and all weapons are also forged from the best steel materials that have reached the level of 100 steel."

"Iron armor? All weapons, all of them are at the level of 100 steel? ”

When Wang Hao heard the news, although there was some disbelief in his eyes, he was even more excited.

Only with such powerful weapons and equipment can the 30,000 Tang Army fight back strongly in the face of an ambush of more than 100,000 enemy troops.

Only such powerful weapons and equipment can give Li Shimin the confidence that with only 50,000 horses, he can defend against the attack of more than 200,000 troops that may come from the Tibetan side.

Li Tang now has the strength he wants, what exciting news for him!

"Okay, very good, Li Shimin, Sun Zhengming, I really didn't misunderstand you, Zhang Cheng, act according to the plan, once successful, you and I will be able to see a powerful dynasty that will never have external troubles in our lifetime"

'There will never be external troubles', this word, in Zhang Cheng's heart, there is still a trace of magic, but it will not be like before, when he hears it, he feels like his blood is burning.

Now, when he wants to carry out his mission, he always unconsciously thinks of all the beings in Chang'an City, and thinks of the Shelong who accompanied him to and from Guanzhong, shouldn't these people exist in this world?

He didn't have so much time to think about whether he should or not, but habitually obeyed Wang Hao's orders, this time, he was going to several other big tribes in Yunnan, if the mission was successful, I was afraid that the land of Yunnan would no longer have the smiling faces of the people who had obtained the novelty goods, and it would only be full of monstrous wars.

In early July, the weather in Shuzhong was still hot and humid, and a team with more than 200 horses and hundreds of wheelbarrows appeared outside the gate of Yizhou.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that in less than a month, the old man will meet you again, let the old man see what you have brought."

"It's all on the list, Wang Gongzi said, you have to give me ten times the goods, this deal is cost-effective. There are more than 500 truckloads of goods here, and you have to give me more than 5,000 truckloads of goods. ”

Xiao didn't care about the etiquette and salutation of Shelong when facing him, and took the list he handed over, and the more he looked down, the more golden his eyes appeared.

"Hurry up and come to check and count the goods."

Xiao gave an order to the subordinate officers who followed him, and he personally untied the burlap bags tied to the wheelbarrow and checked them.

The road from Yunnan to Shuzhong is not very easy to walk, and the wheelbarrow can be easily passed, and a wheelbarrow can usually only be pushed by two people in turn, at most, it is loaded with two or three bags of goods, and a car is more than 200 catties.

However, these more than 500 cars, more than 100,000 catties of goods, none of them are cheap, even if it is Shuzhong's own walnuts, peppercorns, the price of a pound is more than 100 Wen, not to mention Sanqi, Chonglou, bead ginseng and other things that belong to precious medicinal materials in the pharmacy, in the pharmacy in Guanzhong, this is all according to the money, according to the two, to calculate the price.

Previously, the white medicine that was listed as a war readiness material by the Tang Army was worth more than two guan in a small bottle, and the price of one pound was at least seven or eight guan.

Only halfway through it, the joy on Xiao's face became stronger and stronger, and he said with a smile, "A small unicycle like you, even if the old man gives you 10,000 cars, it doesn't matter." If you want any kind of cargo, you can go to the dock to load it, and there is a steamer about the Chinese waterboat. ”

"Ten thousand cars? I didn't have so many people with a cart! Sheron scratched his scalp a little depressedly.

However, he remembered Wang Hao's other instructions, and spoke again, "By the way, Wang Gongzi also said that we have a lot of copper mines over there, and the location has been found, but there are not so many people who can mine and smelt, and I want you to send someone over." It was mined and smelted into copper and transported to Yizhou to mint money. ”

"Copper mines? A lot? ”

Shelong nodded, and gestured with his hand to the big mountain road outside Yizhou City, "That's right, there are more than a dozen mountains in one place!" Wang Gongzi has already arranged for people to build houses and sheds there, but my clansmen who have been ordered by Meng Shezhao do not have so many mining tools and no experience in smelting, so they can only slowly make some corners now. ”

"It's the size of a dozen mountains in one place?"

Now, I feel that happiness came too suddenly, not just Shelong, but Xiao.

At this moment, he has too much sense of identity with what Sun Xiangfu said before, Tubo and Yunnan are both treasured lands, and the profits from trading with them are definitely beyond people's imagination.

"Someone, send me an invitation, go to General Chai, the old man has something important to discuss with him."

Copper, that's money, massive copper, that's a lot of money, and so much money, naturally needs a safer guarantee, and to be able to ensure safety, Xiao's first thought is the army.
