Chapter 278: Poor Man
It's just that before the construction of the new city, such trade is not possible for the time being, after all, a small market, the current scale of trade has reached the limit, everything is ...... Naturally, we will wait for the new city to be built.
Qin Shaoyou looked for the person who led the team, and the person in charge brought a lot of letters.
There is a letter from Wang Yong, which naturally explains the situation of the trade in Wolf Castle, and these things are all over the place, and they can't be sorted out for a while. Qin Shaoyou only looked at a few key places, nothing more than saying that there are Tubo people and Bohai people who seem to be quite interested in tea, and the interest of Tubo people is especially great, and their appetite is really not small. It is important to know that the countries of the Western Regions, and even Persia and the newly rising Great Food, are mainly meat-based, and the efficacy of tea is spread in the desert, and the Tubo people intend to operate in the Western Regions.
This Tibetan people have a talent for trade, since the rise of Tibet, they have become a bridge of communication between Central Asia and the Great Zhou, and because of this, in Tubo, speculation is also a tradition, this time the Turkic Khan sat on the ground to collect money, very happy, it seems to have moved the mind, some of the Tubo merchants who went to the wolf fort seem to have rumors, saying that the Tubo is quite a Khan girl to Qin Shaoyou, following the Turkic Khan, monopolizing this business.
However, Wang Yong said with a smile in the letter that most of the so-called princesses are imaginary, perhaps because some wealthy families or businessmen in Tubo are angry with this, and they have moved their minds to use their remarks to test the thoughts of the Tubo royal family. Even if the royal family of Tibet is moved, this so-called princess is afraid that she is also an impostor, and most of them don't know which minister's daughter, or even a slave girl, recognized her identity as a princess and came to Tuzhou as a family.
When Wang Yong recounted the incident, he seemed quite witty and humorous. Seeing that Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but laugh dumbly, the matter of Tubo, the eight characters have not been skimmed yet, but he is not in a hurry.
Wang Yong later said that his father-in-law seemed to be on guard against the Tibetans, and some of the Tubo's caravans had suffered many attacks, and the father-in-law was reluctant to take a piece of the pie.
As for the so-called Balhae Kingdom, it is even more interesting, after Goguryeo was wiped out by the Tang army. The Tang army did not carry out effective management there, so that a considerable number of Goguryeo remnants established the Bohai State, but the imperial court did not recognize it, and these people because of the pain of the country, whether it was the Tang Dynasty or the Great Zhou, they all adopted a hostile attitude, but this time, traces of the Bohai people were also found in the wolf fort, these Bohai people. Most of them came to trade in the name of pretending to be the merchants of the Tata, and the Tatar people and the Bohai people were adjacent to each other, and they were both between the white mountains and black waters, and their accents and appearances were similar. The Han people in Wolf Fort were originally difficult to distinguish, but the reason why Wang Yong found out was very simple, the people of the Yan Dynasty recognized the Bohai people. In line with the principle that close neighbors are not as good as distant relatives, without saying a word, they sold the Bohai people. went directly to Wang Yong to complain, Wang Yong did not dare to make decisions on this matter, although it was a temporary seizure of the caravan of the Bohai people, but he still had to ask Qin Shaoyou for his decision.
This long letter, not only reported the situation of the trade, but through these trades, the grievances and hatreds of dozens or hundreds of races on the grassland were recounted, quite a bit of gossip, what a few days ago, the northern part of the mountain and the Tieli Department had a fight because of the marriage of the daughter, and the trouble was inextricable, the Tieli Ministry lost, and even the leader's mother married the leader of the northern part of the mountain, this kind of thing, in Qin Shaoyou's opinion, is really a strange thing, scared him to tremble, and the dirty Tang stinky man who will talk about it every day in later generations, Qin Shaoyou thought it was true at first, especially in this great week where women's rights were thriving, what kind of female men and heavy tastes had never been seen, but the way of playing in the desert suddenly taught him to speak.
After reading it hastily, this second letter came from Gu Dulu, naturally it was Qin Shaoyou's father-in-law, and the father-in-law complained a lot, which is nothing more than saying, tea is too expensive and so on, Qin Shaoyou just sneered when he saw it, expensive or not, you are all agents, will you sell it to others at a low price? What is the reason why you have earned so many benefits, but it is still too expensive? He didn't bother to look at Gu Dulu's complaints, but the old man vaguely mentioned one thing in the letter, saying that his brother-in-law was about to become an adult, and it seemed that he had plans to marry a second wife.
Qin Shaoyou seems to understand something, speaking of which, the eldest princess's age can be the mother of her brother-in-law, the two parties are political marriages, to be honest, the truth of husband and wife naturally depends on her husband's intentions, but if the eldest princess refuses, what can Gu Dulu do? To tell the truth, even if the Turks are fighting for their lives now, they are desperate with the army of black teeth, and they have paid the price of countless lives and bloodshed, and the things they have robbed are not as good as a single hair of the tea trade now, and the Turks are not fools, they used to rob, it was not by nature, it was nothing more than that they had been close to their backs anyway, and they were miserable to see. Big deal, next time.
When the barefoot person puts on the shoes, he naturally begins to maintain the current hard-won interests, Gu Dulu knows that Qin Shaoyou is interested in the eldest princess, so he only dares to be the eldest princess's father-in-law in name, and never dares to condone his brother-in-law Hu Lai, these words, after complaining, it is obvious that Gu Dulu has some skills, first crying poor, and then hinting that Qin Shaoyou, the old man is still a very real person, while asking for benefits, he quietly did the heart-warming things, and the rest, you can do it yourself.
Qin Shaoyou really couldn't cry or laugh, such a chicken thief's father-in-law was really a little overwhelmed.
He received the letter, found a letter from the eldest princess, and returned to the back hall, Qin Shaoyou showed the letter of the eldest princess to Li Xian, after Li Xian read it, he sighed, Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but say: "Your Highness, what difficulties did the eldest princess encounter there?" ”
Li Xian smiled reluctantly, and then said, "She said she was very good, very good, and said thank you." ”
Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but sigh, and said, "It's just a gesture, the lower official still has a letter for His Highness to see." ”
After that, Qin Shaoyou took out the letter from his father-in-law and handed it to Li Xian, and after Li Xian read it solemnly, he couldn't help but say: "Why do you want to marry a wife again, what does this mean?" ”
Qin Shaoyou dissected his analysis, Li Xian was also dumbfounded, and said with a wry smile: "Hey...... This is the best, so that their mother and child can live in peace. ”
Qin Shaoyou said: "It's really not possible, it's okay to let people take the eldest princess to live in Wolf Fort, anyway, Wolf Castle is also in the territory of the Turks, but in fact, it is a place for ministers, there are many Han people there, and many customs are also equivalent to Sene, listen to my people in Wolf Castle, there is no less than a small town in Senei, Xia Guan can build a mansion there, arrange some intimate maids to go, Turkic people, Xia Guan can negotiate." ”
Li Xian couldn't help but say with joy on his face: "Great, Bengong ...... It just so happens that you can also go to Wolf's Castle. ”
Qin Shaoyou was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, this move must not be. ”
Li Xian also felt that he was too impulsive, shook his head, looked stunned, and said: "In this world, there are only one and a half people who are really willing to listen to the palace and know the palace, the eldest princess is one, and you are half." ”
After saying that, he stood up, handed the letter to Qin Shaoyou's hand, and said, "You can dispose of these letters, it's time to go back to the palace." ”
Qin Shaoyou frowned, the eldest princess's letter, Qin Shaoyou didn't know what was written in it, but thinking about it, Li Xian didn't want to be known, but he handed it over to himself to deal with, and he dared to entrust all his secrets.
Qin Shaoyou did not refuse, put the letter away, and said, "I'll send it to His Highness." ”
The two of them left Zhuangzi one after the other, and the old eunuch outside was already in a hurry, it was not early, and he was afraid that Li Xian would delay for too long and cause suspicion.
Li Xian's body was a little fat, and he stepped on the high stool to get into the car with the help of others, and he suddenly said: "Wei Guogong, let's talk again, you are really a quiet place here, but I am afraid that this palace will not be able to come a few times." He winked at Qin Shaoyou: "Don't forget your original intention, be a free and easy person, and live freely for this palace." ”
"Ah......" Qin Shaoyou was a little difficult to understand Li Xian's words.
Li Xian lowered the curtain and drove away slowly.
Seeing Li Xian gone, Qin Shaoyou returned to the back hall with the letter in his arms, Wang Ju still stayed here, Qin Shaoyou took out the letter, asked Wang Ju to take the oil lamp, and burned the letter to ashes, Wang Ju couldn't help but feel a little pity, and said: "Doesn't Wei Guogong want to know the content of the letter?" ”
Qin Shaoyou shook his head and said, "Actually, like you, I'm also a little curious, but ...... When entrusted by others, you must always be loyal to others, in fact...... There's not much to see either. Mr. Wang, the crown prince...... What do you think? ”
Wang Ju said: "I can't see it." ”
"Huh?" Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but say, "Could it be that he is hiding too deeply?" ”
Wang Ju shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It is precisely because the emotions are obvious that I can't see it, and the students only know that he is just a poor person." ”
The three words of the poor man are right in Qin Shaoyou's heart, because there is no better way to describe that person than these three words.
He put his hands behind his back, looked at the ashes on the ground, and couldn't help but say, "Yes, it's nothing more than a poor person." ”
