A penny is stumped for a hero, the truth!

King Jin had no choice but to cry to Li Yuan that he had no money, and Li Yuan naturally allowed a large amount of money and grain to be provided by the treasury with a wave of his pen.

Li Chengzong pinched his fingers and calculated, this money is not enough for his own expenses!

Li Jing said yesterday that all the Great Wall and passes built by Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty in Shazhou have been dilapidated by wind and sand for many years, and Yangguan needs to be repaired, and the wind and sand erosion is too serious. If you want to hold Shazhou steadily, you have to spend a lot of money on building a city.

At the gate of the Jin Palace, Li Chengzong was really happy, and he saw Wang Kui and other businessmen at a glance.

"I'll wait to meet His Royal Highness King Jin." Wang Kui and other businessmen hurriedly greeted Dao.

Li Chengzong smiled and said, "I came just in time, I was looking for you."

Wang Kui hurriedly said: "I know that the king of Jin is guarding the country, so I will give a few gifts, and I hope that the king of Jin will accept it."

This gift is heavy enough, no less than 300,000 yuan.

Li Chengzong accepted the gift list and said to Wang Kui and the others: "Come in with this king, and discuss with you if you have something."

No way? Wang Kui thought to himself, is King Jin too few gifts? I'm afraid I'm going to bleed this time. The rest of the merchants also silently thought that King Jin should not be insatiable, otherwise they might all be busy this year.

Li Chengzong made a large map and hung it up, then pointed and said, "You can take a closer look, here is a topographic map of Shazhou and its surroundings."

"What does King Jin want to say?" Wang Kui couldn't stand Li Chengzong's headless way of speaking.

Li Chengzong said: "You see that from the Tang Dynasty to the countries of the Western Regions, I don't need to say that you also know that you must pass through Shazhou."

The merchants nodded, and one of them said, "King Jin, I don't go out to do business!"

"Why is it so unproductive, international trade is the most profitable, do you understand? You're a businessman, why don't you have the ambition to make a lot of money?" Li Chengzong scolded.

The merchant was so frightened that his face turned white, and he trembled and said, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid that I won't be able to come back from the chaos outside the border."

"No one told you to go to war, and besides, won't there be a prince and me when the time comes! Sit down and listen to what the king has to say!"

Li Chengzong cleared his throat, sorted out his thoughts, and then said: "Yumen Pass and Yangguan are in the northwest and southwest of Shazhou respectively, and they are also the passes that must be passed through to get out of the customs. So, this..."

Wang Kui said: "So what?"

"Alas!" Li Chengzong couldn't think of any good words, so he simply said: "I won't beat around the bush, this king wants to build Shazhou, and I hope to borrow the financial resources in your hands." Of course, this king is by no means an unreasonable person, and you can also talk about any conditions, as long as it is reasonable, this king will definitely agree. ”

Whispering, businessmen don't know how to make money from foreign trade, but it is common sense that the greater the profit, the greater the risk.

Wang Kui thought about it, and resolutely stood up and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, everyone has been trading on the exchange for several years. Did King Jin deceive everyone about the fair trade he promised at the beginning?"

"No," everyone knows in their hearts.

"Since the King of Jin promised us that we could safely trade out of the customs this time, I, Wang Kui, were the first to support the King of Jin and follow the King of Jin to Shazhou." Wang Kui took the lead, and a few more people stood up.

Li Chengzong saw that most people were still at a loss in their hearts, took out Wang Hu's knife, pointed at them and said: "This king's patience is limited, and this king also hates people who don't know how to serve the country the most, you say that you don't want to go to Shazhou with me."

Scared to death, it was rare for King Jin to move a knife, and some of them who didn't say anything hurriedly stood up and said, "I'm willing."

Unlucky, I knew that I wouldn't follow Wang Kui to join in the fun today.

Li Chengzong said: "Don't be very judgmental, I can't cure you anymore."

He took out the map again, and Li Chengzong sketched on it, then handed it to Wang Jue, and instructed: "Put it away, and when the time comes, we will start working according to the division of labor on this map."

"Understood."

Li Chengzong's side divided the construction of Shazhou into several parts and contracted out, and the people of Hebei finally could see Chang'an from afar.

Ma Zhou said: "The holy decree ordered us to camp twenty miles outside Chang'an City."

"You go first and tell King Jin, we are here enough." Shan Xiong said.

Xiao Rui and Lawyer Pei stood up and said, "I'll go back later."

"Let's do it all together!" Ma Zhoudao.

After thinking about it, Ma Zhou said to Fang Xuanling again: "Do you want to go to Chang'an with Master Fang?"

"No, I have told the servant to bring his wife and children." Fang Xuanling said weakly, this farewell, Fang Xuanling always felt that it was difficult to have a chance to come back in this life.

Ma Zhou rode to Chang'an, but Cheng Yanjin and Qin Qiong on the other side just entered the Jin Palace.

"What's wrong with the two of you?" Li Chengzong, who had just eaten, asked.

Qin Qiong said: "King Qin hopes that the last general can go to Shazhou with General Cheng with King Jin."

"Second uncle ate too much at night, didn't he? If one is not enough, you have to give one away for nothing?" Li Chengzong thought to himself that it was not so simple, there was a conspiracy.

But if you look at it wrong, Li Shimin really doesn't have any bad intentions. It's just that I'm afraid that Cheng Biting Jin will go alone, just like Xu Shiji, he will beat the dog with meat buns, and there will be no return. With Qin Qiong following, the two of them will take care of each other, and there will be no big problems in thinking about it, and the friendship between Qin Qiong and Shan Xiongxin and Xu Shiji is deeper than that of Cheng Biting Jin. Li Chengzong also has to worry about it if he wants to do it, and it is not easy to use any bad means.

Qin Qiong said: "Please also ask the King of Jin to agree."

Li Chengzong was afraid that there would be a conspiracy, but when he thought of Shazhou again, there were only his own people left and right, even if there was a conspiracy, what could he do?

"Okay, I promised, we will start as soon as the Hebei army arrives in the near future, you can prepare yourself!"

Qin Qiong and Cheng Biting Jin thanked each other and left.

After lawyer Pei and Xiao Rui returned home, they couldn't help but explain.

Pei Fu.

Pei Lin said to Lawyer Pei: "You can decide to go to Shazhou with King Jin, it is indeed unexpected for your father."

"Father doesn't agree?"

"Of course not, there's nothing wrong with going to Shazhou. Now the King of Jin seems to be far away from the center of power, but his deep imperial heart and people's hearts are not without opportunities in the future. Pei Lin said.

Shaw House.

Xiao Yu just encouraged Xiao Rui, hoping that he would make more contributions to support the Xiao family's portal in the future.

Xiao Yu said: "King Jin has such courage, I think I will definitely be able to achieve something great in the future." You and the King of Jin go to Shazhou, being careful is one thing, and befriending the King of Jin is the other, understand?"

"It's the father." Xiao Rui hurriedly agreed.

On the second day, Li Chengzong and Ma Zhou talked about Shazhou's plan for a whole night, and Li Chengzong was so sleepy that he couldn't do it.

Zhu Bajie saw that Li Chengzong was leaving, and he didn't feel good in his heart.

"What are you crying about, you give this king a good life to look at the palace, you have to take care of this king when he is not in the palace, do you hear?"

"Yes, the minion remembers." Zhu Bajie wiped his tears and said.

Li Chengzong said again: "In the future, it will not be easy to be so fierce to the minions in the house."

"Got it, the minion remembered." Saying that, Zhu Bajie cried even worse.

Zhu Bajie sent Li Chengzong out of Chang'an all the way, and no one could see it before he went back.
