"Did my brother hear that? Chang'an wants to use troops in the Western Regions to reopen the trade route with the Western Kingdom! ”

"The news of the virtuous brother is outdated, and the latest rumors are that those people in Chang'an City are also pulling Yuzhendong to do it together."

"Rumors!"

Someone specifically asked Yu Zhendong about this, and although General Zhendong did not admit it, he did not deny it. It is generally believed that the two sides should indeed have contacts, but they have not yet reached good talks. ”

"How could Yu Zhendong cooperate with those guys?"

"I wonder too...... It is estimated that he thought that opening up trade routes would benefit the country and the people, and he didn't care about the reputation of the Liangzhou Army, or he was deceived by the Liangzhou Army. Yu Zhendong is [Tu Tu Yingjie], and this kind of thing is the right person to find him. ”

"Brother Gaojian, it must be so!"

"Personal speculation, the foolish brother just doesn't believe that Yu Zhendong will be in the same stream as the traitor, and thinks there must be a hidden secret."

"That is, Yu Zhendong's loyalty to the Han can be seen every day!"

……

Rumors generally spread all over the country, and the whole country was hotly discussed.

Opening up the Silk Road and reopening trade with Western countries had obvious benefits for the Han Dynasty.

The silk, tea and ceramics that Dahan mainly exports are either handmade products or agricultural products, all of which belong to renewable resources. The imperial court received a lot of income, and the people could also benefit from it, after all, most of the exports came from the private sector, and practitioners of related products could share the dividends of the Silk Road.

From a commercial point of view, the reopening of the Silk Road will do more harm than harm.

However, the attitude of the people towards this news shows a bipolar trend, many people hope that this thing can be done, and many people hold a resolute negative position and do not want to succeed.

How so?

The person who did this was wrong.

The Great Han Dynasty has lasted for nearly 400 years, and although it has been decadent in recent years, there are still many people who identify with the Han family.

Chang'an was controlled by the Liangzhou army, and if the trade routes could be reopened, the Liangzhou army would inevitably get the greatest benefit in the end. However, the Liangzhou army was not in the right position, and in the eyes of those loyal to the Han family, it was no different from a traitor and a traitor, and countless people longed for the early collapse of the Liangzhou army and the return of power to the Son of Heaven. When the trade route is opened, the Liangzhou army will have more money in its hands, won't it be more stable to hold the power in its hands, when will it be over?

Many people actually have reservations about not thinking that he should wade into this troubled water.

Fortunately, Yu Buzhi had an excellent reputation in the past, and no one said that he was co-opted by the Liangzhou Army for the time being, so he was blamed.

After all, the reopening of the Silk Road is beneficial to the country, and in order to open up the Silk Road, it is necessary to first control the 36 countries of the Western Regions, and once again put the entire Western Regions under the control of the Han Dynasty, which is a good opportunity to declare national prestige and strengthen national identity. As for the current physique of the Han Dynasty, whether it is suitable to do these things, to be honest, many people have no bottom in their hearts, but recently, Yu Buzhi has succeeded in expanding the territory on Wadao and the plateau with the strength of a county, which has greatly boosted the enthusiasm and confidence of the Han Dynasty and the opposition in foreign wars. From a folk point of view, it should not be so difficult to take the lead of the imperial court and participate in the [Tutuo Yingjie] to sweep the small countries in the Western Regions.

However, not everyone welcomes or expects this.

Some people vehemently oppose Yu Buzhi's cooperation with Chang'an.

In other words, ordinary people jump out and shout, I am afraid that it will attract countless cold words, such as "people (wolf) are talented (embarrassed) women (for) appearance (rape), why are you a monster opposed", which can make people doubt their lives. In fact, many skepticers have been sprayed and disgraced because of this.

But this time it was different, and no one in the whole country spoke ill of this opponent because of this.

Because this person is Zhu Jun.

The old ministers and generals of the Han Dynasty, loyal to the Han family, are still working hard to return to the Son of Heaven, and even do not hesitate to wave their troops into the Hetao that was previously entrenched by Qianghu. Zhu Jun's loyalty to the Han family is beyond doubt. And his appeal between the government and the opposition is still very strong. What's more, Zhu Jun's qualifications and seniority are quite high, this thing is sometimes worthless, and sometimes it is difficult to change, at this time, Zhu Jun's resources are obviously the latter, coupled with Zhu Jun's "loyal minister" halo body, even if people of insight think that the opening of trade routes is beneficial to the Han Dynasty, they dare not easily disagree with Zhu Jun in this matter.

The reason for Zhu Jun's opposition was that this move might strengthen the Liangzhou army and make it more difficult for the court to return to normal.

The Liangzhou army was naturally angry, but it was inconvenient for them to refute; The hundreds of officials in the court secretly complained about Zhu Jun's troubles, you didn't have an easy time in Shangjun, but you are still too guarded, do you know how difficult it is for us to wait in Chang'an City? But hundreds of officials can't say these things, first, it is easy to be misunderstood that they wear a pair of pants with the Liangzhou army, and second, they have to avoid suspicion when it comes to their own interests, so they have to remain silent.

Chang'an was silent about Zhu Jun's opposition, but what about the Kwantung princes?

Generally silent and acquiescing.

Some people believe that the opening of the Silk Road will not only promote the prestige of the country, but also hope to drive local economic development, and they are happy to see it come to fruition. The princes of the non-origin areas also lack the will to resist this matter, and if the Silk Road is reopened, the center of gravity of the Liangzhou army will inevitably move westward, which is a good thing. The Kwantung princes are not unable to defeat the Liangzhou army, but they are temporarily unavailable, and when the Kwantung princes divide who is the king, they will pour the Kwantung army to the west, and set things right, which is as easy as a hand, and they can also pick the fruits of the reopening of the Silk Road; As for those princes who have no important output and have no hope of competing for hegemony, they think that Chang'an has money to reopen the Silk Road, and the local princes refuse to send taxes to the central government, which may be more reasonable.

As a result, the Kwantung princes that Zhu Jun expected responded in groups, but after all, it only appeared in a dream, on the contrary, if it weren't for Zhu Jun's upright and old qualifications, I am afraid that some princes would have scolded him for being nosy. Fortunately, Zhu Jun's prestige for many years will not be said to be nothing, and he is indeed a Dan heart, and the princes did not dare to openly oppose him.

When Zhu Jun said this, the most embarrassing thing was that the fish was unwise.

As we all know, Zhu Jun values Yu Buzhi, regards him as a loyal and upright person, a young and promising pillar of the country, and has a very high opinion of Yu Buzhi, and he is never stingy when he should be promoted, and the two have a good relationship. After the dragon collar was exposed, many outsiders thought that the reason why Zhu Jun entered the Hetao in the past was because the fish was unwise and fell down the dragon collar first, and the situation of relying on each other had already been formed, and recently they partnered to open Hu City, and the two had an unprecedentedly close contact. Zhu Jun actually ignored the good relationship with Yu Buzhi and stood up and openly opposed it, which really shocked everyone.

Many people silently watch, what will the fish do if they are not wise?

Yu Buzhi went to the Taishou Mansion of Shangjun in person and explained to Zhu Jun that opening up the Western Trade Road would do more harm to the Han Dynasty, and tried to persuade Zhu Jun to change his original intention and instead support Bajun to cooperate with the Liangzhou Army.

Before long, some players saw Yu Buzhi come out, and obviously the two broke up unhappily.

In the evening of the same day, Yu Buzhi appeared in front of the Taishou Mansion again, apparently planning to have a night chat with Zhu Jun. Who knows, this time he directly ate the closed-door soup, and the Shangjun Taishou Mansion, which was open to him at any time in the past, refused to let Yu Buzhi enter at night on the grounds of "adults go to bed early and don't see guests". Yu Buzhi did not give up, and asked the guard to help report, the guard reluctantly went in, and it took a long time to come out, but he shook his head at Yu Buzhi, claiming that Zhu Jun was unwell, and Yu Buzhi could only leave lonely again.

The scene of Yu Buzhi waiting outside the Taishou Mansion in Shangjun fell in the eyes of many people and spread to all directions.

Some people sigh and regret that both of them are good ministers, because of differences in ideas, what is the matter?

Some people gloat, this group is mainly unwise to go to the fish, let your baby be a demon and capsize!

However, after the closed-door incident, the outside world did not think that the two would really break up because of this incident, they were both pillars, and they had a long-term friendship with each other, as well as entanglements of practical interests. Yu Buzhi has not officially admitted that he is willing to cooperate with the Liangzhou Army, thinking that he wants to win Zhu Jun's support first, and Zhu Jun should not be unable to see this respect.

No one expected that a few days later, the situation would take a turn for the worse!

At the request of merchants and representatives of the Qianghu tribe, at the request of merchants and representatives of the Qianghu tribe, everyone was convened for the first time to discuss whether to adjust the frequency of the market opening to reduce the waiting time of the tribe and facilitate better transactions with Han merchants. The first meeting, the topic is related to the business situation, all parties attach importance to it, because the result of the topic is large, or involves a series of subsequent adjustments, and some people hope to take this opportunity to solve the problems exposed after the opening of the market, such as unfair distribution of interests, etc., many business principals are present, and several inns opened by Longling are full.

If the frequency of market opening is adjusted, the security forces must keep up, so the Upper County Taishou Mansion was invited to participate. Previously, everyone thought that Shangjun would send Hua Xin, and at most he would send Sun Rui. On the day of the meeting, Zhu Jun and Shi Sun Rui came together, but Zhu Jun's expression was quite gloomy, and the ice slag on his face fell down.

Have fun watching!

Hushi is outside Longling, and the meeting place is in Longling, which has the largest restaurant.

Yu Buzhi was not on the list of attendees, but after hearing that Zhu Jun had arrived in person, he still quickly teleported to the dragon leader and attended as the host, hoping to take this opportunity to reconcile with Zhu Jun's willingness was obvious. After all, Yu Buzhi also wants to save face, and he was embarrassed to go again after that closed-door soup, so Zhu Jun came, so he naturally received it in person.

It's a pity that Zhu Jun is obviously here to smash the field this time.

Do you want to increase the frequency of market opening?

In general, everyone generally tends to do Dahu City.

The meeting was chaired by Su San, who consulted with merchants and Qianghu representatives in advance, and generally supported increasing the market opening time, but there were differences in the specific direction. There are two main plans: one is to increase the frequency, from two cities per month to three cities per month; Second, the two markets remain unchanged every month, and the single market opening time changes from three days to five days. Tribal representatives support the former, making it easier for them to trade, and even if they miss the trading day, they don't have to wait too long. Merchants support the latter, three cities per month will lead to an increase in costs, not to mention manpower, logistics costs will increase by at least 30%, because the frequency of transportation will increase.

Everyone originally thought that this meeting was a choice between two and how to choose a technical issue.

As soon as Su San finished speaking, Zhu Jun spoke with a black face, saying that Shangjun did not support the adjustment of the market opening frequency.

Merchants have no status, and tribes have no status, and the merchants and tribal representatives look at each other and dare not answer.

Yu Buzhi was helpless, and he was qualified to discuss with Zhu Jun and explain the pros and cons head-on, which Cheng thought that Zhu Jun would not give him face, and insisted that Shangjun would not agree. Not only that, Zhu Jun obviously had a deep resentment against Yu Buzhi, and accused him in public of forgetting his duty as a courtier, and actually colluding with the rebellious ministers and thieves, and a famous general bought him, ashamed of the name of [Tutuo Yingjie], Zhu was ashamed to be with you, and so on.

After scolding, Zhu Jun and Shisun Ruiyang left.

On the same day, the troops stationed on the periphery of Hu City in Shangjun were transferred and half of them were withdrawn.

The rift between the deer leader and the upper county is naked in front of the world.

When the news came out, the world was shocked.
