Chapter 145: The Eldest Sun Chief
Hearing what was said below, Yang Jian on the throne was unmoved, and ambiguously picked up the cup and took a sip.
Unable to figure out the emperor's thoughts, Su Wei, Yang Xiong, and Yang Su bowed and saluted and retreated to the queue.
"Hah!"
Silently, Changsun Sheng, who had not spoken, came out of the ranks, I don't know if he had been with the donkey for a long time, or his head was funny, or because the three of them were angry with the boss's plot, they opened their mouths to ridicule the group.
"All over the Guan'er, all the wine bags and rice bags, there is a negative grace!"
"You!" Yang Xiong, who had just entered the ranks, was furious.
"What are you? Do you know how wide the Western Regions are? ”
Yang Xiong was stunned.
"Although there are many deserts in the Western Regions, the vastness is similar to my Great Sui, no, maybe with the addition of the Southern Dynasties, my Central Plains can be compared!" Changsun Sheng no longer looked at Yang Xiong, who was confused, but aimed at Su Wei with stupid eyes.
"Do you know how many languages there are in the Western Regions?"
Suvene was silent for a long time.
After hundreds of years of war, the books and documents on the Western Regions in the Central Plains have long been lost, and the Silk Road is not passable, so few people have been idle to pay attention there.
"In ancient times, there were thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, although it is impossible for each small country to have its own language, but according to Weichen's knowledge, at least thirteen! Such as Altaic, West Hungarian, Kyrgyz, Tocharian, Gaochang, Loulan, Hu, Sanskrit and so on. ”
The eldest grandson held his head high and spoke in various languages, and the Manchu Dynasty was at a loss.
He would never admit it, and he was scolding everyone around him!
Seeing that no one dared to respond, the eldest Sun Sheng, who was in a good mood, looked at Yang Su with his chin.
"Do you know the composition of Yang Shuang's army?"
Yang Su covered his face with his hands and retreated to the civil official ranks.
There is no way, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, Sun Sheng, the head of the family, has almost set foot in the Northern Regions, no matter how smart he is, he can't compare to the other party's vast and sea-like knowledge.
Changsun Sheng looked around, and all the civil and military officials bowed their heads.
"Returning to the Holy Heavens, what Yi Weichen saw and heard when he went to the Western Turks last year, Yang Shuang's army included rangers, Northern Zhou soldiers who couldn't survive, horse thieves in the Western Regions, Turkic slaves, Shanshan defeated soldiers, Roman ruined merchants, and many other small countries."
"Yes, his army is not loyal to the king and serving the country, but guarding the family and the industry, in order to live better!"
Therefore, Weichen believes that the official should be entitled! Reward, also to the most expensive! Let's ask, even if it is a priceless treasure, how can it compare to the vast Western Regions? ”
"As for the Northern Regions Sand Bowl Strategy, knowing it with affection, moving it with reason, and having official treasures as the premise, if you want to worship the holy horse thief Yang Shuang, you will definitely take the initiative to lead the troops north!"
"And, if, according to the three adults, if the matter is revealed, who can bear the consequences?" Changsun Sheng looked at Su Wei, Yang Xiong, Yang Su, and countless officials behind him, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he pointed at everyone and roared: "Who can guarantee that there are no traitors here who eat inside and outside!" ”
"Haha!"
Seeing that everyone's faces changed greatly, Yang Jian laughed and stepped down from the throne, raised his hand and patted Changsun Sheng on the shoulder, "It is worthy of being the Taishi of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the Goose King is a blockbuster!" ”
Goose King: The nickname of Changsun Sheng.
"Thank you for your good words!"
Yang Jian clasped Changsun Sheng's hands tightly, turned his head to look at the hundred officials, "If I send the Goose King to handle this matter with full authority, do you Aiqing have any objections?" ”
"No objection to the ministers!" Nonsense, do you have to learn those awkward words that you don't understand?
"In this case, Xuan, the general of the left leading army, Sun Sheng, the general of the Western Regions, the official position of the third grade, the general of the hussars, and the three divisions of the Kaifu Yi!"
"Long live my emperor, the minister will repay the king's kindness with death!"
·········
In the early morning, the new and vast Suzakumen Street was full of people, including hundreds of officials who had retired from the dynasty, and people who went to the east and west to sell vegetables and cloth.
At the end of North Street, outside the Imperial City Suzaku Gate.
Originally, the door was crowded, and the silent palace doors suddenly opened wide.
Countless guards rushed out of it, running in the east, south, and west directions of Daxing City.
Several guards outside the gate took out several notices and pasted them on both sides of the city gate, and at the same time sounded the gongs and drums in their hands.
"Your Majesty has an order, from today onwards, vendors are prohibited from selling on both sides of Suzaku Gate Street, and each house and courtyard will clean up the sundries, and before this evening, the palace guards will check them one by one!"
"Tell the people of the Great Sui: Today, there is Yang Shuang, the king of horse thieves, with an army of 300,000 Turks in the western part of the country, in the name of His Majesty's benevolence and righteousness, he specially presents 50,000 Turkic prisoners, countless cattle and sheep, 10,000 war horses, and the entire Western Regions!"
"Your Majesty has an order, the Great Sui, the whole world celebrates, hereby pardon all taxes this year!"
With the gongs and drums, the people who heard the shouts rushed in, and in a short time, a sea of people formed outside the entire imperial city.
In the early days of Daxingcheng, the population living here was as high as 250,000!
And, with the expansion of the outer city, this number is still climbing dramatically.
I don't know if it's Changsun Sheng's strategy, or I'm afraid that the Western Regions will not be understood by hundreds of officials in the court, and the people will be even more difficult to understand.
"Oh my God, it's doubled!" The illiterate Liu San was amazed.
"Just looking at this, you still don't feel the vastness of the Western Regions, when I went to Dunhuang to Shule to do business, the old man walked in the desert for more than a month!"
"What's the use of that place where the birds don't?" The other was puzzled.
"Then do you know the courgette? Grape? ”
"I know, I know, it's all the treasures eaten by the official master and the big family!"
"Haha, when our Dasui has the Western Regions and the border is stable, there is no need to spend a lot of money to take care of the customs and enter the customs, and there is no need to spend a lot of money to hire rangers to guard against horse thieves, you can eat these things in the future!" Moreover, the southern Xinjiang of the Western Regions is rich in Hetian jade, as well as the refined salt of Ma Lost, which can also enter the homes of ordinary people in the future! ”
After the old man finished speaking, he smiled even more, "And, your mother-in-law can weave cloth?" ”
"Of course, ten feet a month!"
"Then you have to tell your mother-in-law not to sell it to the cloth shop cheaply!"
"Why?" Liu San was curious.
"The Western Regions are flat, the Silk Road is passing! The people there are very fond of our Central Plains cloth! When the time comes, pay a little handling fee to entrust it to the dart board, barter it, and earn gold, silver, melons, fruits or fur and jade, which is not just doubled! ”
"So, that's a great thing?!"
"Nonsense, otherwise His Majesty the Emperor would be exempt from tax for a year?"
"By the way, what's that game?"
"Dart Bureau, escort goods for the people, buy on behalf of the agent, only need to spend a little money, you can do business for you! For example, cloth is sold to the cloth shop for only a few dozen yuan, but it is worth a gold when sold to the Western Regions! But every household has such a small output, and it is impossible for the men in every household to run the business in person, you must know that this time, most of the half a year has passed, and the labor is even more unimaginable. ”
Liu San nodded violently and sighed to the people who came around: "Half a year is less!" It's either a mountain or a desert, if you don't have water, you have to drink urine, and if you encounter a horse thief, maybe your life will be gone! And, after walking for more than half a year, my mother-in-law still has a special red apricot out of the wall......"
"Alas......" The crowd seemed to feel the same way, sighing and wiping their tears.
The old man saw that it was almost brewing, "Now there is a dart game is different, you only need to pay a percentage of the goods, or a little handling fee, the dart board will run for you, you can do it at home and wait for the money to be sent to the door!" ”
"Oh my God, where's the dart game?"
"On the left side of the Longmen Inn in the West City, the Longmen Dart Bureau!"
Hulala......
The people who heard the news ran around to tell each other, some of them talked about the benefits of the Western Regions, some went to the dart game, and some talked about Yang Shuang, the king of horse thieves.
But everyone knows that the Divine Martial Saint has the destiny of heaven, otherwise how could the horse thief sacrifice to the Western Regions?
"Long live my emperor!"
As the matter of the Western Regions gradually spread, the huge Xingcheng City was full of people, and after a while, the shouts condensed into a stream and spread into the imperial city.
Yang Jian, who was still discussing the details of the reception of the horse thief leader with Changsun Sheng and the hundred officials, suddenly stopped the people who were talking, covered his ears with his hands, and listened.
"Long live my emperor!"
