Chapter 85: The Real Rotong
Luo Tong said goodbye to Xie Hu and Feng Lei and other brothers on Jigong Mountain, and with Qin Shoudao, Cheng Chubi went straight to Yazhou, where the Dangxiang Tuoba tribe was located, which is now Kangding City.
Now the city walls of Kangding City have basically been built, and the layout of the city has also been divided, and the people of various prefectures are encouraged to settle down in Kangding City.
The house is planned and constructed in a unified manner, and it doesn't matter if the people who live in it don't have money, as long as they sign an agreement, they can work in the factory and repay the loan in monthly installments in the future.
Although the people of all tribes are mostly accustomed to living a nomadic life. But there are still some people who are willing to live in the city, work in factories, or learn from Han Chinese, open shops to do business, sell mutton and so on.
There are many businessmen from all over the world who live in Kangding City every day, and there are thousands of workers in the industrial area of Kangding City every day, producing Chinese new wine, Chinese soap, Chinese perfume, and Chinese flower water that are very popular with merchants from all over the world.
Many merchants in the Western Regions are willing to purchase goods from Kangding City, after all, they save a lot of travel, and the price of the purchase is the same as that of Chang'an, and the quality is also the same.
The goods they brought from all over the Western Regions, after being shipped to Chang'an for sale, could directly open an account with the Zhonghua Bank in Chang'an and deposit it in the account.
You can also not open an account, and directly ask the Bank of China to issue a large amount of silver bills and put them on your body.
Then he came to Kangding City empty-handed, and after purchasing the goods to be purchased, he took out a stack of silver tickets directly from his body and used them as cash.
However, it is still not safe enough to carry a silver ticket on the body, and there is a possibility of encountering robbers on the road, and today's robbers have become smarter, knowing that they are keeping pace with the times, and the silver tickets are also robbed, and they also know that these silver tickets can be used as cash.
Many merchants from the Western Regions, after coming to Kangding City, complained about how the Bank of China did not set up a branch in Kangding City, and heard that the Bank of China in Chang'an had opened the business of depositing and withdrawing money in other places, and deposits in the Bank of China in Chang'an could be withdrawn in any place where there was a Bank of China.
It would be great if there was also a Chinese ♀ bank in Kangding City.
Li Zhonghua was already thinking about this problem, and sent a letter to Chang'an, asking Wu Zetian to send some people who were familiar with the operation of the Bank of China to Kangding City to prepare for the establishment of the Kangding branch of the Bank of China.
Li Zhonghua was staying in his own Jiedu envoy's palace, thinking about how to deal with the relationship between Tubo and the Subi State, whether to directly kill the Tubo, or to leave him some leeway, let the Tubo and Subi, as well as the sheep and the three kingdoms, coexist with each other and restrain each other, or let the Subi State be the only country and manipulate it himself in the back?
If you can control the Subi Kingdom from behind, of course, it will be the best result, but does the Subi Kingdom care? Would the Tang Clan be willing to be their own puppet queen? Do you have the power to solve it, you can control the slave.
In addition, there is one of the most important troubles, what will the emperor Li Shimin think of himself, if the emperor Li Shimin knows that he can actually control the situation in the entire Tubo, will Li Shimin be wary of himself, or even have murderous intent.
This consequence is definitely not alarmist, once his strength makes him feel threatened, Li Shimin will definitely dare to do anything.
At this time, the guards outside walked in.
"Report to the general, three young people came out and wanted to ask to see the general, they claimed to be from Chang'an, one said that it was the general's brother-in-law, the other said that it was the cousin of the general's wife, and the other claimed to be the nephew of the general's wife."
"Brother-in-law, Madame's cousin, and Madame's own nephew, what's going on?" Li Zhonghua felt that his head was big.
Suddenly, Li Zhonghua suddenly remembered that he and Cheng Chumo, didn't Cheng Chuliang worship as brothers?
On second thought, Madame's cousin must refer to Luo Feiyan's cousin, the son of Qin Qiong, the Duke of Hu.
As for Madame's nephew, it really can't remember who it is.
In the blink of an eye, it has been more than a year since I left Chang'an, and it seems that I am beginning to feel a little strange about the people and things in Chang'an.
Thinking of his son Yang Zaixing, who is now more than a year old, if he is around, he should call his father.
"Hurry up, please! No, it was General Ben who personally welcomed him in. ”
Compared with others calling himself a lord, or calling himself the envoy of the Zhuqiang tribe to the state festival, Li Zhonghua prefers others to call him a general.
Although Li Zhonghua did not personally lead his troops to charge into battle, the Songzhou Army grew from scratch and from weak to strong, and Li Zhonghua worked hard.
Even the warriors of the Restoration Army of the Subi Kingdom respectfully call him a general, as long as they do not let them turn against their own Subi Kingdom, as well as their queen, Li Zhonghua commanded them to attack there, they will absolutely obey.
Walking outside the mansion gate, Li Zhonghua saw Su Shoudao and Cheng Chubi at a glance, and there was also a white-clothed young general, with three war horses behind him, and their weapons were immediately placed.
Seeing that Li Zhonghua greeted him in person, the three of them hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, only Luo Tong and Li Zhonghua were not familiar with each other, although they knew that Li Zhonghua was their uncle, they did not dare to come forward to say hello.
After the three of them chatted for a few words, Qin Shoudao pulled Luo Tong to Li Zhonghua and said, "Uncle Cousin, this is the child of my cousin's eldest brother, named Luo Tong. ”
After the introduction, Qin Shoudao turned his head and said to Luo Tong: "Cousin! Don't hurry up and see my uncle. ”
Although Li Zhonghua is not as old as Luo Tong, he is a generation older, he is Luo Tong's uncle, Luo Tong hurriedly bowed to worship, and it was naturally the ceremony of the younger generation to see the elders.
Li Zhonghua hurriedly helped Luo Tong up and said, "You are Luo Tong, Luo Cheng's son." ”
There is no detailed record of Luo Yi's son in history, and many historians believe that Luo Cheng is just a fictional character in folk romance.
is Luo Yi's grandson, there are some records in the history books, and his name is indeed called Luo Tong.
It's just that what is the thirteen-year-old in charge, what Luo Tong sweeps the north, what kind of intestinal war, what goes with Xue Dingshan to conquer the west, these are all non-existent things.
However, this Luo Tong has already appeared, and it is in front of him, and his father is indeed called Luo Cheng.
This made Li Zhonghua feel extremely surprised, and at the same time very helpless.
Because in the official history, there is no record of Luo Cheng at all, and Luo Tong is only a brushstroke.
"Back to my uncle! The nephew's name is indeed Luo Tong, and his father's name is Luo Cheng, although these are all told to his nephew by his father-in-law, but his father-in-law will definitely not be mistaken. Luo Tong said.
"Good! The Luo family finally has a queen, I believe that your aunt will cry happily when she sees you, she has always hoped to have a son, let him follow her surname Luo, continue the incense of the Luo family, and now know that her eldest brother's son is still alive, I don't know what it will be like to be happy. ”
Really! After Luo Feiyan came back from outside, after knowing that Luo Tong was the son of her eldest brother Luo Cheng, she was so happy that she cried and laughed, and Luo Tong was about to cry.
It's just that the age difference between the two is not much, although they are close relatives, they still need to avoid suspicion.
After Luo Feiyan and Luo Tong met, Li Zhonghua also knew that the two had a lot to say, so they took Qin Shoudao and Cheng Chubi to visit Kangding City under construction, and by the way, they also learned about the purpose of the two of them suddenly running to Kangding.
The two of them had something to say, and they didn't hide Li Zhonghua's meaning at all, and they had only one purpose. Those who want to come to make meritorious achievements and lead troops to fight.
During this time, I also learned about the process of the two and Luo Tong's acquaintance.
When it comes to the issue of Luo Tong's identity, Li Zhonghua also has a headache, don't look at Luo Feiyan has already entered a good book, but that is because Li Shimin gave himself face, and secondly, he gave up his title in exchange.
But the most important thing is that Luo Feiyan is only a woman after all, and she is Li Zhonghua's concubine, so she does not pose any threat to Li Shimin.
And Luo Tong is different, he is not only a man, but also strong in martial arts, for Li Shimin, he has killed the Luo family, Luo Tong will definitely have a deep hatred for him and a grudge.
For such an unstable factor, Li Shimin definitely hopes that Luo Tong will be cut down and eradicated, so as to avoid endless disasters.
Therefore, Li Zhonghua is really not sure about solving the identity problem of Luo Tong.
When the Xuanwumen mutiny, Li Jiancheng's daughters were fine, but his sons were all killed.
Those people are all his own nephews, and Li Shimin didn't have a soft heart when he killed them, let alone Luo Tong, a descendant of an anti-thief.
