Chapter 125 has something to ask for

The surrendered city hangs alone outside the traditional territory of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, everyone in the Han people here is worried or anxious.

Leaving the Surrendered City...... The enemy of the world!

This is the reason why many Han soldiers are desperate to return to their hometowns.

At least, in your hometown, you don't have to sleep with your head on your head, you don't have to think about whether there will be an enemy attack tonight.

Only when you see your companions will you feel more at ease, and everyone knows that only companions of the same race and race are the guarantee of your own safety.

Huo Quzhi likes to go to the city because he is the coach.

Yun Lang likes to stay in the city because he feels that the surrendered city is not safe, especially when he sleeps alone in the room at night, he always feels that after blowing out the oil lamp, the darkness is like a real black stone pressing on his body, making him breathless.

However, when he stood at the head of the city, in the first line of defense that he must cross when danger came, his heart was very calm.

Perhaps, the unknown is the most terrifying.

Since the north wind stopped, Li Kang arranged his residence at the highest point of the arrow tower, and as for Zhao Ponu, he liked to live in the military camp the most, and he and his subordinates crowded on the Chase bunk and slept sweetly every day.

Shainin used to be the same, since he was injured, he did not live in a separate ward, but crowded with all the wounded soldiers, and he had to admonish the sentry at the gate of the wounded barracks every day.

Huo Quzhi lives alone in a two-story small wooden building, where the lights are never extinguished, even if the soldiers patrol the city at night, as long as they turn their heads, they can see that there is still a glimmer of light on the small building where the Lord will live.

The courage of the soldiers! He knew this a long time ago.

When Yun Lang sat on the threshold of the arrow tower and looked into the distance, Li Dang came down from the arrow tower with a large cake in his hand.

"What are you looking at?" Li Dang sat next to Yun Lang and gave half of the cake to Yun Lang.

"I'm thinking about whether to dig an artesian canal from the side of the big river and let the river surround the surrendered city."

"Then do it, so that the fortifications of the city will be complete."

"It's a pity, it's not as easy as you think, you know no, the surrendered city is built on the river beach, although there are a lot of red sandstone here, this red sandstone seems to be solid, but in fact it can't withstand the water flow at all, and the moat is built, which is a kind of damage to the city wall, and it is a bit more than worth the loss."

Li Dang took a bite of the cake and said, "Since it doesn't work, what are you still thinking nonsense?" ”

"Don't want that, what do you make me think?"

"Think about how to make money, Your Majesty is ready to buy and sell the land in Lin Yuan, every copper coin in my wife's house has been used to buy land, if I don't bring money when I go back, the whole family will be hungry."

"Make money? Simple, let your wife gather some people, owe a large amount of silk from my family to surrender the city, and then exchange frankincense, myrrh, black lamb skin, and some spices if you are lucky, you should know the value of these goods in Chang'an, right? ”

"What's the market?"

"Su Zhi exchanged two zhang of silk for sixteen catties of frankincense yesterday......"

"So earned?"

"That's the case, otherwise, you want a little more silk from Su Zhi to do business with that Hu merchant in person, and if it's confirmed, you can pull the silk from home."

Li Dang was overjoyed, jumped up, walked two steps and came back, sat down beside Yun Lang again and said, "Such a good business, why don't you do it?" ”

Yun Lang took a bite of the cake and looked at Li Dare depressedly: "Do you think it is appropriate for me to do it, or is it appropriate for my daughter to do it?" ”

"There's no one to borrow from us."

"So what do you do in trouble, can't you just do it? This business is only you can do, first, your family is a retired veteran, and second, your family has a wide range of channels in the army, so it is the most suitable to do this kind of business. ”

"Go to the sick...... Ah Xiang ......"

"Forget about the two of them, it's not enough to make money in business."

"I heard Zhao Ponu say that you plan to appoint that Hu Shang as a tongue man."

"Yes, that's right, but what's the use of a tongue man, I need a lot of tongue people, I must first drag him with benefits, so that he can bring more tongue talents for me to use.

The surrendered city is not prosperous enough, and the silk trade that can be done at present cannot be large, that is, it is the most suitable for you to do, once the surrendered city has become a Tongdu Dayi because of doing business with the people of the Western Regions, at that time, it is impossible for you to do silk trading.

It's just a quick buck. ”

Li Dang nodded and said: "In this case, I will go to the sick, and after Ah Xiang said it, I will send a letter to the family asking them to prepare." ”

"You have to be fast, write it now, I'll tell you to get sick, Ah Xiang, it's no problem."

Li Dang left in a hurry, and Yun Lang continued to sit on the threshold in a daze.

The reason why Liu Che recalled the operation of the Western Regions, the biggest reason was for the trade route, at the beginning, no one cared about this trade route in the northwest, but after the Huns were driven out of the northwest, this trade route brought great profits to the Han Dynasty, and when the profits were the highest, thirty percent of the income in the treasury came from this.

The Western Regions were naturally rich, and when two completely different civilizations began to come into contact, the first thing they saw was the prosperity of commerce.

There will be no barriers in business because of the remoteness of the region, as long as there is enough profit, life is really not a matter for businessmen.

The surrendered city is close enough to the Western Regions, although there is still a chaotic evil king and a day chasing king, Yun Lang feels that these two nails are about to be pulled out by Huo Quai.

"The loss of my mountain makes my women colorless. The loss of my Qilian Mountain will make my six animals restless. ”

Yun Lang hummed the song softly, no matter how he changed the rhyme, the singing voice was not very good, perhaps because he didn't pour more emotion into his singing, which made the song dry and emotionless.

"This song may only be sung by the Huns......"

Thinking of this, Yun Lang couldn't help but be happy, stood up, and tried to stand on tiptoe with half a piece of cake, as if to invite God to eat a bite of the cake.

"Look what I've got!"

Su Zhi panted and ran up from under the city wall, constantly shaking two black lamb skins in his hands.

"Sweater changed?"

Su Zhi shook his head aggrievedly and said: "They don't want to, they are only willing to exchange silk, you know, I came to the border village, I didn't bring much silk at all, I exchanged it for two new dresses." ”

Yun Lang stroked the soft black lambskin and said with a smile: "Li Dang is going to transport a lot of silk to surrender to the city, you can have as much silk as you want in the future." ”

"Ready to sell?"

"Yes, just gold, and frankincense, and myrrh, and spices."

"Why don't we do this kind of business ourselves?"

Yun Lang spread his hands and said, "There is no one in our family." ”

Su Zhi looked Yun Lang up and down and then said in a low voice: "Why is Huo Quai, Li Dare and Cao Xiang's wives are pregnant, but the senior sister is not?"

I've heard that you were with that Zhuo Ji for a day, and she gave birth to your eldest daughter.

Why don't you give your sister a child? ”

Yun Lang said with a bitter face: "This is God not giving it, what can I do." ”

"The reason why Senior Sister asked me to serve you is because she has no children, and I always think it's her fault."

"It's not her fault, it's the timing."

"What if we don't always have the right timing in the future?"

"Shall we just find a time?"

Su Zhi frowned and said, "In the past, there was a gynecological holy hand in Xuanji City, she seemed to be able to accurately calculate the timing of conception, I can't remember how to calculate it."

When I go back, I have to ask Granny Yao, she knows. “

"It's too early for you to prepare, isn't it?"

"It's not early, we're going to live together when we go back, we can't wait......"

Su Zhi was babbling nonsense, but Yun Lang squinted at Bazel sneaking out of the city, it is estimated that this is the real reason why Su Zhi got the black lamb skin.

"Bazel is gone, don't talk nonsense in front of me, why are you willing to help him like this?"

Su Zhi smiled: "It's the Pharmacopoeia of the Sabbatarians." ”

"What about the Pharmacopoeia?"

Su Zhi reluctantly took out a thick sheepskin roll from the basket and put it in Yun Lang's hand.

Yun Lang opened it and glanced at it, nodded with satisfaction: "This is indeed a good thing, this transaction is worth it." ”
