Jade Gate Order?

Zhang Cheng frowned slightly.? With {dream} small ◢.1a

Yumen Ling's position is not big, it is not small, but in fact, it is useless.

The vicinity of Yumen Pass is mainly a military pass, and there are many caravans coming and going, so some traders are also gathered to operate here, and the scene is quite lively.

But the real liveliness is not as good as a lower county in Guanzhong, so this Yumen Order actually manages the scale of about a few thousand people, and it is not even as powerful as himself, the Yumen general.

"Don't worry, generals, don't say what you shouldn't say, these generals understand." Doubts and doubts, Zhang Cheng still nodded and agreed, although he was older, his official position was not as high as his family.

The general manager of the marching road, this level, basically only the national prince level can be held, and the most important thing has to be the county duke, but this is very rare, and more of it is the emperor's henchman.

Zhang Cheng felt that he couldn't manage so much, as long as he could go home.

In nine years, I have spent one or two percent of my life here, and it is time to go back.

"General, the last general has a personal question for you, I don't know if it's convenient for the general?" After talking about business, Zhang Cheng began to care about personal matters.

"Anything that doesn't involve confidentiality, I can answer you." Su Dingfang is not the kind of person who likes to put on music, especially after practicing in Zhenbei for so long, in addition to the overall situation has increased, he is also very peaceful in dealing with people.

"Not involved! Not involved! Zhang Cheng hurriedly shook his head and continued: "The last general heard that there were disasters in the Guanzhong area a few years ago, so I just wanted to ask how the situation was in Dunzhou? The last general's hometown is Zhiluo County, Juzhou. ”

"Don't worry, if General Zhang's family is not sick, they should be fine at the moment, last year the imperial court issued a foot restriction order, everyone is only allowed to move in their respective villages, and at the same time a large amount of relief food has been distributed, not to mention full, but also not to starve to death. Now that the disaster has passed, there has not been a single case of displaced people in the entire Datang territory. Su Dingfang responded with a smile.

Although there were many people who were skeptical at the beginning, now those doubts have become the voices of praise.

A catastrophe, there are no displaced people, and only a few people die of starvation, no one can do it throughout the ages, but it has been done in the current dynasty.

Hearing the exact news, Zhang Cheng's hanging heart finally let go.

The next thing is simple, Zhang Cheng listed a few places where Tuyuhun people often haunt them separately, and told Su Dingfang one by one, and the others are not important.

In addition, Yumen Pass basically will not encounter any enemies, whether it is Tuyuhun, or Western Turks, or other horse bandits, etc., will not come to Yumen Pass.

With tall checkpoints and thousands of defenders, coming here will be the beginning of their doom.

took over the defense of Yumen Pass and sent away the homesick defenders, and Su Dingfang officially took over the defense here.

But Yumen Pass was not the focus of this trip, Su Dingfang only sent 5,000 people to patrol around, and the rest of the soldiers were resting, training for a day, resting for a day, and just waiting back and forth.

Who knows what they're trying to do?

However, the arrival of an army of 50,000 people at Yumen Pass really frightened the surrounding other countries, especially the Tuyuhun people who often went north to fight the autumn wind.

Previously, there were not many troops deployed at Yumen Pass, but this does not mean that the surrounding countries can ignore this place.

Every move of the Yumen Pass garrison is closely monitored, and if something happens, they will flee immediately.

This is a powerful deterrent force in the Tang Dynasty, although thousands of people can't do anything, but the meaning behind it is not so simple.

……

Yiwu had been placed as a county as early as the Han Dynasty, but because it was too far away from the land of Guanzhong, and there were countless barren lands in between, the Han Dynasty gradually began to abandon this land.

Yiwu returned to the hands of the Huns, and in the Han Dynasty alone, the war here lasted for three hundred years, and the two sides came and went, so unhurriedly.

During the Sui Dynasty, Yiwu County was relocated, but due to the war in the last years, it was unable to take care of it.

Yiwu broke away from the Central Plains Dynasty again.

Yiwu is close to Yumen Pass, and out of Yumen Pass is the territory of Yiwu, but this place where soldiers must fight, and now life is not easy.

There is no economic source, food is scarce, the east is bordered by the Tang Dynasty, the west is adjacent to the Gaochang Kingdom, the north is the Jinshan tribe of the Western Turks, and the good tribe of the Western Turks is the south, and there are strong enemies all around.

In addition to making some transactions with the Tang Dynasty, Yiwu only suffered losses when trading with the other three places.

In addition, there are actually a lot of Han people in Yiwu, who arrived in the Han Dynasty early and arrived in the Sui Dynasty late, and many people went there, some came back, and some stayed.

It's just that the current person in power is a descendant of the Huns, and this is also the breeding place of the descendants of the Huns, although the life is not good, and there is no past scenery, and he does not even dare to mention his identity as a Huns, and even the language has gradually changed to Turkic or Chinese.

"I wonder what the Tang envoy plans to exchange for these treasures?" Hanbani gave himself a name that looked more like a Han person, but this name was actually not Chinese at all, looking at the desk full of all kinds of exquisite goods, Hanbani's eyes were shining.

The round, transparent crystal can feel a noble aura just by looking at it.

Gorgeous silks, exquisite utensils, all kinds of goods, as many as dozens of kinds, each of which made Hanbani hate to paddle into his arms, and even the carriages used by the Han people to load goods were so high-end in Hanbani's opinion, four-wheeled, absolutely speechless.

As the leader of Iwu, no matter how poor the people are, they can't be poor enough to be on Hanbani's body, as long as they like it, they can buy it.

"Gold, war horses, can only be exchanged for these two!" Xu Jing stretched out two fingers, the identity of the Tang envoy was really good, there was a report at the city gate, and Han Bani opened the door to greet him, he came out this time to rob, in addition to the high requirements, the asking price is also very desperate, of course, Yiwu has nothing good to ask for in addition to these two things.

Hanbani frowned, Yiwu doesn't have many war horses, most of them are camels, but this thing is good in the desert, and it is not as good as a war horse when it comes out of the desert.

The whole country is combined, and there are more than 10,000 war horses, and as for gold, there are some, but not much.

"What is the price of the Tang envoy?" Confused, Hanbani continued to ask.

"This crystal is the top craftsman of the Tang Dynasty, it took two years to refine, whether it is raw materials or finished products, are extremely expensive, each craftsman can only refine about ten at most in two years, and its usefulness, it is more noble, the crown of the Tang Emperor, the queen's phoenix crown, are embellished with this thing, ordinary people, etc., even the royal family is not qualified to enjoy, so this price...... "Blow, don't care about anything, first blow hard, blow the higher the better."

Hearing that this thing can only be used by the emperor and empress in the Tang Dynasty, Han Bani's eyes lit up even more, isn't his identity in Yiwu the emperor? How can there be no such goodies to accompany it?

Han Bani's greedy appearance happened to fall into the trap set by Xu Jing in advance, smiled slightly, and slowly said: "If it is gold in exchange, one is worth a thousand gold, if it is a war horse, it is worth ten thousand!" ”

Daughter and 10,000 war horses, even if you think about it with your ass, Hanbani also knows how to choose.

"Go and get a thousand gold, no, five thousand gold!" Hanbani, whose eyes were shining, hurriedly shouted at his subordinates, he was already a little impatient.

"Nope! I'm afraid the king has misunderstood! Xu Jing smiled slightly, interrupted Han Bani's excitement, and continued: "The daughter that this official refers to refers to is a thousand catties of gold!" ”

"A thousand pounds of gold?" Hanbani was stunned for a moment, and then his face was full of anger, I nmlgb!

Isn't the daughter you Han people mean a thousand gold? Isn't 10,000 coins meant by 10,000 coins? Why did Lao Tzu turn into a thousand gold here?

Gold is not a hard currency, it exists as an ornament, and it is extremely rare, and for all other reasons, gold is not even as good as silver today.

A thousand catties of gold, I can take it out myself, but I have to scavenge the whole Igo again.

Can't afford it, but want it, what to do?

A bargain, of course......

"That...... Tang envoy, can it be cheaper? ”

"This price is not expensive, the Tang Emperor sold it to you at the lowest price in order to contact the feelings of the countries of the Western Regions, if it is lower than this price, it is better to sell it in Chang'an." Xu Jing shook his head, with a posture of not buying and pulling down.

The bargaining didn't make sense, and he couldn't afford it, and the anxious Hanbani's eyes lit up.

In the end, I didn't buy anything, and my whole mind was on that crystal bead.

Regarding Xu Jing's request to open a trade shop in Yiwu, Han Bani also happily agreed, which is a good thing, and it is easier to buy goods from Datang.

Come with the goods, go with the goods.

It was getting late, Xu Jing did not continue to drive, and the continuous running of the whole team also made the whole team shrouded in a layer of fatigue, Xu Jing decided to rest in Yiwu for a few days before heading to Gaochangguo.

It's just that Igo's night is not peaceful.

Early the next morning, Xu Jing sent someone to invite Hanbani over.

As soon as they met, Xu Jing's face completely lost the expression of yesterday, and instead changed to an angry expression, and angrily pointed to the ground and asked: "This person is a guide specially hired by this official, and now, this official needs an explanation!" ”

Hanbani's face was full of astonishment, and there was a corpse lying on the ground that had already been cold, dressed like the people of Iwu, no matter how you looked at it, they were the people of Iwu.

It's just this corpse, Xu Jing asked himself to explain, Han Bani was also a little confused, he didn't even know what the situation was, how could he explain it to you?
