Chapter 411: Gao Chang Comes to Envoy He still has a dart game
Princess Zheng of Jin pondered for a moment, this candidate actually exists, and there were many capable people in the Jin Palace, so it is not difficult to send a person who can open the way at this time.
It's just that there is one point, the strength of the old Jin Wangfu is a little less exposed, and the Zheng family is thinking about who to let go.
At this time, Li Wanping next to him spoke, "I have an idea for this candidate." β
"Oh? Ping'er, who do you think is appropriate?" Zheng asked.
"You can send the eldest brother, the eldest brother has learned economic strategy in the academy, and is proficient in martial arts, and his body has recovered when he treated Du Xiang last time, you can send him to Longxi to lead the people to coordinate the overall situation."
"Yes, good idea, let Chengdao go to Longxi Li on behalf of several of us, it is indeed a suitable person."
Zheng agreed.
Not only her, but even Empress Changsun felt that it was suitable, and Princess Qi and Princess Chu naturally had no opinion.
"Since everyone agrees to let the eldest brother go, I also have a suggestion, it is better to let the eldest sister Bai Wanru go with her, after all, it is related to the women's clothing business, and it is not suitable for a woman to come forward, she is the fiancΓ©e of Chengdao, her identity is appropriate, and her husband has carefully taught her four younger sisters for several years, maybe she can have an unexpected gain by letting her go together."
Li Wanping's words surprised several other people, what did a woman ask to mix in the matter of leading troops and negotiating?
Empress Eldest Sun smiled: "Hahahaha, I'm afraid there are little secrets that a few of us don't know!" I have no opinion on letting the eldest sister of the Bai family go with me, after all, the marriage books have been changed, and I am also the daughter-in-law of the Li family. β
Princess Qi smiled: "I'm afraid Ping'er is creating a chance for the two of them to be alone!" I've heard that the eldest sister didn't agree with the two before. β
Zheng shook his head and said, "What's the matter?" I'm an old bone, what do the child like to do, since Ping'er strongly recommends it, then let the eldest sister go with me, go on behalf of a few of us, and see how he Longxi Li explained to my royal family, even our business is stuck, it's really lawless. β
Just when Bai Fan got the news, Gao Changguo in the northwest also got a fast horse in return.
Gaochang is a cotton production area, in the past, this thing was regarded as a useless thing, in their own country every household has it, but also the thief is cheap no one wants, now not only people buy, the price is good, not to mention, but also unlimited purchases, where to find such a good thing?
In the past few years since Bai Fan purchased cotton, Gaochang has gradually profited from it, and many people have been lifted out of poverty and become rich, and even this has led the people to no longer plant low-yield grain, but to plant high-yield cotton (formerly called Bai Diezi, and in recent years, it has been called cotton by following the trend of Datang), because everyone calculated, planted cotton and then sold it to Datang merchants, and finally exchanged money to buy grain, there was still money and surplus grain every year, so that many families did not grow food.
This result was actually calculated by Bai Fan at the beginning, he could have purchased cotton at a low price at cost price, but in the end he bought it at a high price, why?
Of course, it is a calculation between countries, which is to let Gaochang cotton planting replace grain planting, when one day, Gaochang is planted with cotton, and the grain is all imported by Datang, if you want to destroy the country and build territory, it is estimated that it will be easier.
Now that the westbound transportation route has been cut off, and Gaochang cotton cannot be transported, it means that they will once again pile up a large amount of cotton that no one wants, which means that there is no money to earn, which is the top priority now, so it was returned to Ju Wentai, the lord of Gaochang by 800 miles of expedited fast horses.
"Your Majesty, the trade route to Datang has been cut off, and the convoy transporting cotton to Lantian Marquis of Datang has all been detained in Longxi and cannot advance eastward, and now the merchants sent by Lantian Marquis have stopped buying cotton."
"What? What's going on? We signed a ten-year contract with Lantian Hou, why didn't we accept it all of a sudden? Why were trade routes cut off? β
Ju Wentai was shocked.
"According to the messenger, the Li clan of Longxi, a big nobleman within the Tang Dynasty, started a war with the Marquis of Lantian and cut off the westbound trade route to suppress the Marquis of Lantian, and we are affected."
"Bastard, you suppressed Lantian Hou and detained my convoy? Cut off my way to make money? What does the Tang court do to eat?
Someone came, immediately sent an envoy to Chang'an, and asked the Tang Emperor clearly, can the local people in the Tang Dynasty do whatever they want? Wantonly cut off the friendly trade routes between the two countries and arbitrarily seize our caravans?
If they don't give an explanation, Gaochang will never give up! Ju Wentai ordered.
Twenty days later, when Li Chengdao had just arrived in Liangzhou to find Li Xiaogong, the Gaochang envoy also arrived in Chang'an and met Li Er.
Looking at the national letter handed over by Gao Changguo in his hand, with a questioning tone, it seemed that he was secretly mocking the injustice under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, Li Er's face was dark, and it was really embarrassing to be slapped in the face by a small country.
"Come on, pass on Fang Xuanling, eldest grandson Wuji, Hou Junji!"
The three of them quickly rushed to the council hall, and Li Er threw the national letter over for them to read.
After reading the letter of state, the three of them understood why the emperor was angry.
"Your Majesty, little Gaochang insulted me so much, the last general asked for an order to bring a team of soldiers and horses to step on him Gaochang." Hou Junji knelt on the ground and pleaded.
"Your Majesty can't, the Lord can't be angry, Gao Chang's letter is not focused on diplomatic relations, but dissatisfied with the Li family in Longxi blocking their way to get rich, and wants my Tang Dynasty court to come forward to deal with this matter.
It's just that the level of Gaochangguo's Chinese dialect is not good, and he can't distinguish between satirizing the family and satirizing the country. β
Li Er snorted with a gloomy face: "Even so, he Gaochangguo insulted me and the internal governance of the Tang Dynasty was uneasy, and he couldn't give up easily." β
The eldest grandson Wuji opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, why should you be angry, let him be proud for a while, and wait until the plan is successful, and the day we annex Gaochang, see what kind of attitude he will have, what Ju Wentai and his ilk, and how much stronger than Zhi Jieli?"
At this time, it was still a matter of domestic importance, and the Li family in Longxi interfered with business privately, resulting in delays in national policy, and must be severely punished. β
Li Er nodded, thinking of the plan set by Bai Fan to annex Gaochang before, his mood was much better, and he turned to Hou Junji and said, "Did you hear that?" Junji you go, not to fight Gaochang, but to teach the Li clan in Longxi, and you have the right of 20,000 soldiers and horses, but if you are disrespectful, you will do it directly, and interfering with the national policy is equivalent to treason.
A few days ago, the Chengdao couple had already gone, but the Li family in Longxi also started immediately, I am afraid that these two young people will not be able to deal with it, you go to the commander, you will definitely succeed, and you can't let Gaochang children laugh.
Their envoy is still living in the Welcome Garden, and he won't leave if he says that the trade route is not passable, which is really annoying to me! β
"The last general commands!"
Here, the Li clan in Longxi didn't know that he had committed public anger, and he was still discussing the trade war situation with the Fan Yang Lu clan and the Qinghe Cui clan.
"It's strange, we cut off his trade routes, smashed his restaurant, took down his medicinal herb business, and pushed off his construction business, and he has no money to make!
Why is it that now that a month has passed, the number of beggars on the streets has not increased? If you don't add people to begging, you can say that the beggar gang is not starving yet, this is not good, if a group of well-fed and well-dressed beggars come to a million, it is terrible. Lu Chengguang analyzed puzzled.
Cui Junqiu of Qinghe Cui's family pondered for a long time, and a flash of inspiration, "Hey! We forgot, but the beggar gang added a new industry two years ago, called the dart bureau, which is also the transportation industry, I heard that it is very profitable, and I think this is Bai Fan's reliance. β
