Chapter 457: Wang Zaixu returns to Tang
In Zhang Yi's words, they are not money, and it is impossible for everyone to like them.
Sahazhuo felt that Zhang Yi's statement was very reasonable, and the analogy was also very appropriate, so he decided to do what Zhang Yi said.
Give more profits to the salt merchants who have already taken refuge in themselves, and then win over those centrists and isolate the few salt merchants who are unwilling to cooperate with them, so that over time, those salt merchants who are unwilling to cooperate with themselves will be slowly squeezed out.
In short, he has the green salt provided by Zhang Yi and them, and he will definitely be invincible in the salt industry in the future.
With green salt, who would want to eat salt like scum at a similar price?
He believed that he would be able to get everything he wanted, because he had resources that no one else could have!
Soon after Sahazhuo returned, Wang Zaixu took Li Yan to visit Sahazhuo's mansion.
His purpose was naturally to leave Qingtang, and in order not to make Sahazhuo suspicious, they had to come over to say goodbye.
"You two should have made a lot of money during this time."
Sahazhuo hadn't seen Wang Zaixu and Li Yan for a while, so he immediately teased the two as soon as they met.
Not only did he make money on Zhang Yi's big boat, but Wang Zaixu and Li Yan also made a lot of money.
Wang Zaixu and Li Yan looked excited.
"We're here to tell you about it."
"We made a lot of money with Brother Zhang Yi, but those goods were given to me by Brother Zhang Yi, and they couldn't last long.
"And you see, the market is so good now, the more goods we have, the more we will definitely earn, and then there is, as long as we follow the caravan of the Zhang Yi brothers, we will hardly encounter too much risk on the road, and the safety will be greatly improved."
Wang Zaixu's eyebrows fluttered when he spoke, and Sahazhuo laughed when he listened to it.
For Wang Zaixu, he has no suspicions in his heart, after all, his Wang family has lived in Qingtang for several generations, and they have a lot of connections with their Sahazhuo family.
The most important thing is that the Wang family still has to count on their Sahazhuo family to live, and Wang Zaixu will not do anything out of the ordinary.
And Wang Zaixu said it is also very reasonable, now even the goods on his side are very small, and it is impossible for him to distribute them to Wang Zaixu again, so if they want to make money, they have to go back to Datang to run the goods themselves.
If they can run a little more goods, then they will naturally be able to make more money, and when they are out of stock, they can also open their mouths to balance a little goods with them.
Sahazhuo almost completely agreed with Wang Zaixu and Li Yan's approach.
After informing Sahazhuo, Wang Zaixu and Li Yan immediately returned and rushed to the territory of Datang with the 'caravan' that had been prepared a long time ago.
Although there were more people and things they brought back this time than before, Sahazhuo would not doubt it, he would only think that Wang Zaixu wanted to do the same thing as his Sahazhuo family, so Sahazhuo also sent some people to protect Wang Zaixu and his party across the Tibetan border safely.
Sahazhuo, who was completely focused on business, couldn't imagine what Wang Zaixu and Li Yan were thinking now.
And Wang Zaixu and the two went out of the Tubo border into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and after bidding farewell to the escort sent by Sahazhuo, everyone also looked back at the Qingtang that was gradually moving away.
Although they are all Tang people, who has lived in Qingtang for so many years, who doesn't have some feelings.
"Big guys, all walking."
Wang Zaixu was the first to turn his head, wiped his reddish eyes, and immediately beckoned everyone to speed up and walk towards Li Yan's house.
They can't be too nostalgic now, after all, the road is far away, and the area is still very chaotic, so they have to be careful.
......
Wang Zaixu, Li Yan and others left, the palace was empty, and the remaining few subordinates would also leave Qingtang and return to Datang from the path immediately after Zhang Yi left.
Zhang Yi knew that when Wang Zaixu went back this time, he should ask Li Yan to help, use the wealth in his hands and Li Yan's status in the local area to re-establish the foundation of his Wang family.
So Zhang Yi simply sent Wang Zaixu a letter, and he could take this letter to the Tang Border Army for help.
I sent so many war horses to the Tang Border Army, and gave them so many cattle, sheep and grain, this can be regarded as a big favor, no matter what happened to those guys, I have to give myself some face to help.
After sending Wang Zaixu and Li Yan away, Sahazhuo and Zhang Yi began to get busy again, and Qingtang was still as busy as they were together.
Not only Qingtang is busy, but the entire Qingtang neighborhood is busy.
After the Tang border army received the news brought back by Xu Jingzong, they immediately mobilized men and horses to step up preparations for war, and there was a tense and solemn atmosphere everywhere.
The frequent movement of the Tang border army naturally attracted the attention of the Tubo army, and many Tubo troops had already driven to the vicinity of Qingtang to set up defenses, and they didn't want to be caught off guard by the Tang border army.
The border is busy, and it is naturally impossible for the capitals of the two countries to be quiet.
The Tibetan side is okay, after all, in recent years, because of the war in the Central Plains, they are still in a strong state against the Han dynasty, so now they just think that those Han people are just mobilizing troops to maintain the border, so that their people will be less captured by the Tubo cavalry.
Therefore, the response of the Tubo people was very simple, send more troops to Qingtang to deploy defenses, and at the same time ordered their troops not to cross the border as much as possible, and wait and see for a while.
Compared with the quietness of the capital of Tibet, Chang'an City is very noisy.
Eight hundred miles hurriedly brought back two pieces of news to Li Er, one was Zhang Yi's, saying that their plan was about to be fully executed, and the Tang border army could prepare to launch an attack on Tubo.
This news quickly spread throughout Chang'an City, of course, the news that spread was only that the Tang Dynasty was going to use troops against Tubo.
Every time there is a time for war, Chang'an City will be very lively, and this time it will be the same.
And another urgent news is Xu Jingzong's secret report to Li Er.
Xu Jingzong didn't say anything else, but simply reported their current real situation to Li Er.
And when Li Er saw Xu Jingzong's secret report, he almost wanted to flip the table, and now he even has the heart to copy Zhang Yi's family.
Originally, their economic warfare plan was executed quite well, and if it continued in this way, it would inevitably receive the expected results they wanted.
But they shouldn't have launched an attack on Tubo at this juncture, the goods and channels on their side have just been laid, and the salt industry in Tubo has not been wiped out, Zhang Yi is too risky to do so.
