Two months later, the group actually returned, led by Cheng Yuan, and they also brought back a large bag of things. After arriving at the barracks, Cheng Yuan asked those people to distribute these things to the soldiers. The general who learned the news rushed over to check, only to find that almost everyone in the hands of all the soldiers was holding a letter in their hands, and some of them were still in tears. After some inquiry, the general learned that what the soldiers were holding in their hands turned out to be extremely precious family letters! At this moment, the general was surprised, he called Cheng Yuan to ask carefully, and Cheng Yuan excitedly told the general that all this was the idea of his father Cheng Ziquan.

Cheng Ziquan analyzed that the reason why the soldiers on the border became deserters was because they were homesick. If they can communicate with their families and keep in touch with each other, then this homesickness should be alleviated by half. But how can we help them fulfill this wish? Cheng Ziquan thought about it and decided to let his son find a few like-minded and bold friends in the military camp, and break through the desert dead end with them.

After Cheng Yuan and the others broke into this dead end, they also brought a lot of dog trainers, and after walking to one or two hundred miles, they marked them and put another dog trainer back to report the news. When they crossed the terrible Gobi, they found a guide who lived nearby, and learned that the reason why the Gobi was terrible was that many places were soft and muddy that could not be climbed if they accidentally fell. Fortunately, before going on the road, Cheng Yuan brought several large bags of sheepskins according to his father's request, and they blew them up to make something similar to a sheepskin raft, and tied two to each person. Tie two wide, thin planks of birch bark to the soles of each person's shoes. Everyone led each other with ropes to explore the path, and if someone fell into the mud, they relied on the sheepskin and the planks under their feet. It doesn't sink too deep and is easy to pull out. In this way, after groping all the way and going through difficulties, this road was finally explored. After returning to the mainland, the people who accompanied them divided into several groups and went to their respective hometowns. After writing letters to the families of the soldiers, this was brought back. From then on, soldiers could be sent every month to deliver letters along the signs along the way. With these family letters. Soldiers will never again be deserters.

The general nodded again and again, convinced. sighed: "It's still the shopkeeper Cheng's thoughtfulness, this is really a letter from home worth 10,000 dollars!" It also solved my urgent need! ”

At this moment, Wang Hufeng appeared in the camel city. In person. invited Cheng Ziquan and Liu Shengsheng to propose cooperation between the three companies to expand their business together. Wang Hufeng told Li Tao about his plan at the beginning, and then talked to Cheng Ziquan and Liu Shengsheng. The two were amazed when they heard this, and the two families shook hands and agreed to form a larger camel team and run a business together.

Li Tao listened, gave a thumbs up and said, "If it weren't for Lao Wang, you would be interested." How can you build a camel caravan, this thing is done beautifully. ”

A little groaning. Li Tao continued: "The main reason for providing baggage for the army is to do a part of the imperial court, and the imperial court has received our affection, which will be beneficial to our business in the future." Lao Wang, when the imperial army fights a big battle, you must go all out to provide supplies, I have already applied to Your Majesty, if the battle is won, all the seizures will be handed over to you to deal with. ”

When Wang Hufeng heard this, his eyes lit up: "Military horses, livestock, all kinds of supplies, and those prisoners, this is all money." ”

"That's why I've told you to do everything you can to provide security for the army."

Dong Shaoqing interjected on the side: "Don't these things have to be sold through my channels here?" ”

Li Tao looked as it should be: "This is natural, Lao Wang has other things to do, and these things have to be solved by the net you weave." ”

Li Tao continued to say to Wang Hufeng: "Old Wang, in addition to these, you have to put more energy outside of Datang. More caravans were to be formed to open up trade routes to Silla and the Western Regions. ”

Wang Hufeng's chest began to rise and fall sharply.

"In particular, the northern and southern parts of the Tianshan Mountains under the jurisdiction of Anxi and Beiting must be included in the scope of your caravan's business. If you can go further, you'd better run the caravan to the Big Eat. If you get something back, you will directly hand it over to Lao Dong and let him handle it for you. What goods do you need to transport, let Lao Dong prepare it for you. ”

Wang Hufeng tore off his collar, picked up the wine on the table, drank it with his neck up, and shouted: "King Lantian, I can make your blood boil!" ”

Dong Shaoqing also said: "It's not just you, even I feel enjoyable, it's really envious." ”

Fan Changfeng was not happy, he leaned over and asked, "Ah Tao, what about me?" What do I do? ”

Li Tao stared at Li Tao and asked, "Do you know how to swim?" ”

Fan Changfeng shook his head and said, "No." ”

"Then it's none of your business?" Li Tao no longer paid attention to Fan Changfeng.

"Why is that?" Fan Changfeng was in a hurry.

"Because it's hard because I'm talking about it, and not being able to swim is no different from being sent to death."

Dong Shaoqing persuaded on the side: "King Lantian, you better say it directly, look at the big shopkeeper in a hurry." ”

Li Tao nodded, smiled and looked at Fan Changfeng and said, "Lao Wang has nearly 10,000 miles from Datang to Dashi, in fact, there is still one way to Dashi." ”

Fan Changfeng's heart moved: "Ah Tao, what you said is the sea route." ”

"Exactly, from Panyu to the sea, along the way, there are Tanfula Kingdom, Liuqiu Country, Maoren Yishu State, Linyi Country, Funan Country, Zhenla Country, Gandali Country, Dandan Country, Panpan Country, Red Earth Country, Biu Country, Sri Buddha Lost Country, Heling Country, Bori Country, Fallen and Luo Kingdom, Fallen Po Dengguo, Zhengbin Country, Gate Poison Country, Gudi Kingdom, Luo Yue Kingdom, Gege Sangji Kingdom, Geluo Kingdom, Gokuluo Kingdom, Borneo Country, Lion Country, Nantianzhu Kingdom, Wulei Country, Ba Country, Ti Guo Kingdom, Tiluo Country and Country of Wura, Mora Kingdom, Sanlan Kingdom, Martyr Country, He left the country of tribulation and finally arrived in the country of Great Food. How many treasures do these countries have that Datang does not have, if you ship these treasures back, think about it......"

"Isn't that going to make a fortune?" Fan Changfeng was about to drool.

"So, I'm going to build dozens of big ships and recruit thousands of crew members." Speaking of this, Li Tao glanced at Fan Changfeng: "The sea ship has to sail on the sea for several months, in case there is a wind and wave or something, you can't swim, wouldn't you be sent to death, how can I let you go on an adventure." ”

Dong Shaoqing nodded and said, "King Lantian, I can swim, why don't you let me go!" ”

"No, no one is allowed to rob me!" Fan Changfeng jumped up as if he had been stepped on his tail, he looked at Li Tao flatteringly and said, "I can't swim, I can learn it, Ah Tao, let me go!" ”

"Well, Jiulang, it will take at least a year or two to build a sea ship and recruit a crew, and this matter will be handed over to you, if you still can't learn to swim by then, then you will make wedding clothes for others."

Dong Shaoqing will learn to be smart, he smiled: "Don't ask, I have to deal with the things that the big shopkeeper got back." ”

Li Tao quipped: "You won't say that the semicolons we set up are useless now, are you?" (To be continued......)
