"Hexi Corridor? Could it be that the Great Song Dynasty has begun to plot the Hexi Corridor and intends to restore the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties? ”

Sun Yue smiled bitterly: "Brother Li said that he was joking, the Southern Tang Dynasty and Houshu are on the side, and there are even more Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures in the throat, my Great Song Dynasty, in fact, is far from completing the national unification, at this time, it is really too early to say anything about the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties." ”

Li Guangyan nodded when he heard this, if this Sun Yue really said something crazy during the banquet, he really had to take a good look at this so-called prodigy, that long Hexi corridor, the old Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Tang Taizong were tossed to death, if the Great Song Dynasty was thinking about this place now, then unless he was crazy, he would not do so.

"That brother means ......"

"It's not that the Great Song Dynasty is plotting against the Hexi Corridor, I mean, myself, or to be precise, our Sun family has a plot against the Hexi Corridor."

"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

"Brother Li may not know, in addition to my father and son who have been a little petty official in the court, we are also the richest man in the entire Great Song Dynasty, the largest restaurant in Kaifeng City, Fengle Lou is our family, and at the same time, it is almost a monopoly in the high-end liquor industry, with tens of thousands of catties of koji sold every month, plus we also have a large sugarcane orchard in Huainan, and a construction team of thousands of people in the country, it can be said that our family's annual profit alone is at least equivalent to the sum of all taxes in the five states, of courseMost of this money was spent, but not much was really spent on our family itself. ”

Hearing this, Li Guangyan was really shocked, he had long heard that Sun Yue's family was rich, but he never imagined that their family would be so rich! A year's profit is equivalent to the sum of the taxes of the five states?

Okay, the party members are also quite poor, and the taxes they collect are not as much as in the Central Plains, but it's also very scary, okay, doesn't this mean that this Sun Yue is much richer than him?

This is also Sun Chunming's sensible, and the money he earned was not saved or consumed highly, but he quickly invested money in the right place to make money, and even most of it was invested in the right place to worry about the country, such as his explosives research, otherwise even if Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Guangmei stood behind their house, they might have been slaughtered.

"Then what do you mean ......"

"To put it simply, I'm here to send money to the party members, my father wants to unite the wealthy businessmen of the Great Song Dynasty and do a business with the entire party, the scale of the business, so to speak, ten times the total tax of the five states at this time."

"What...... What kind of business is so big? ”

"Hexi Corridor, the Silk Road, the Tang Dynasty because of this road, can pass through all countries, the Great Song Dynasty now does not have the ability to open up by itself, this work can be done by ourselves, on the other side of the corridor, there are soft and comfortable Persian carpets, there are precious and shining gems, and more importantly, there are countless horses! I have silk, porcelain, and tea in the Great Song Dynasty, but I don't have horses! If the Tibetans, the Uighurs, the Dangxiang, and our merchants of the Great Song Dynasty can join forces to form a caravan to raid the Hexi Corridor and sell the goods directly to the Uighurs in Gaochang, I guarantee that whatever the various ministries want, my Great Song will have! ”

This is a bit crazy, but this is the norm of the Great Song Dynasty, at this time it may not be too obvious at the beginning of the Song Dynasty, but let's put it this way, the middle and late Northern Song Dynasty was actually rich to the point of being scary, in contrast, seventy percent of the wealth of the Ming Dynasty was in the imperial court, and only thirty percent was in the people, but at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen wanted to raise one million taels and almost urine blood, and the Northern Song Dynasty, converted into one million taels is nothing more than one million guan, only in Kaifeng City, there are "tens of people with millions of family assets!" ”

In the Han Dynasty, in order to seal the wolf Juxu in the Hexi Corridor and drive the Huns out, in the Tang Dynasty, because the national strength was too strong, he could directly let the entire Turkic call him Dad, and the Song Dynasty...... Then pay for it.

If the dynasty is compared to a superhero, then the Han dynasty is Captain America, he is heroic and domineering, and he is a symbol of the nation. The words of the Tang Dynasty are Thor, whose strength is off the charts, and the existence of gods, while the Song Dynasty is Iron Man.

If this thing hadn't been rich, it would have died dozens of times.

As long as you have money, is there anything you can't solve? Sun Yue believes that money can make ghosts push oil.

"Do you want to buy horses with the Western Regions through the Hexi Corridor? This...... It's a bit whimsical, you must know that the current Hexi Corridor is not controlled by a certain ethnic group, there are our party projects, some Tibetans, and all kinds of Uighurs that I can't figure out, and one of these tribes does not agree, and the trade route is nonsense. ”

"Isn't it good for everyone to make money together? The eldest brother should know that the goods of the Great Song Dynasty are in demand in the Western Regions, and an ordinary white porcelain vase can be exchanged for a piece of gold of equal size in the Western Regions or even further away, and the profit in this is not only hundreds of times? In the past, this profit was completely monopolized by the Han people in the Han and Tang Dynasties, and now the Great Song Dynasty does not have that strength, so everyone will make a profit, which tribe does not lack iron, which nation does not lack tea? I plan to develop the five states of Dingnan into a large-scale ethnic exchange market, connecting the Hexi Corridor in the west and the Great Song Dynasty in the east, as long as we are united, the profits in this are enough for everyone in the party to live a good life, and there is no need to worry about starvation. ”

"Impossible, people's greed is endless, you can't do everything at all, if only the Great Song Dynasty and the party are involved, there may be talk about this matter, but plus the Tubo and Uighurs, it is a fool's dream, wealth is moving, as long as any tribe can't help but rob the trade route, this line will be destroyed, the vast Gobi, kill people and throw it away, not to mention revenge, even find out who did it is difficult, Tang Taizong can directly send troops to destroy his country because of Qiuzi blocking the trade route, Why did the Great Song Dynasty dominate such a trade route today? ”

Sun Yue nodded and said: "It is indeed impossible for the current Great Song Dynasty to send troops directly, but the party item is okay, now Tubo has been divided, as far as the three departments in the Hexi Corridor are concerned, there are no waves, the party item is actually at least in the northwest, and it is already the largest force, so I want to ask the party item to come for us, no, for us, to guard this road where everyone makes a fortune together." ”

"The party item guards the west corridor of the river for the Great Song Dynasty? What ...... this?"

"Naturally, it is impossible to let the party members help in vain, in addition to the visible financial income brought by this trade route, we can also give another thing in exchange, with this thing, plus this trade route, the party people may have to fight a lot more because of this, but I am sure that the living standards of the party people can be increased at least ten times! This is just ordinary people, you nobles, from now on enough to live like the Song Dynasty wealthy family, just say this tea, this should be the best tea you can get brother, when this matter is done, such a tea is given to you, you are not rare to drink him. ”

"Oh? What is so good? ”

"Cement!"
