In the next volume, the rat will pay attention to this and try not to drag the rhythm. However, this volume is also nearing the end, but the end is a little hasty, please forgive me.
——————————————————————
All the way through the ups and downs, in the blink of an eye, it is a month. Along the way, Zhang Chen has handled many county officials and assassination histories in Ludao. Facts have proven that the poorer the place, the more serious the culture of corruption. In addition, it is not uncommon for the emperor to collect taxes indiscriminately, enslave the people, and bully men and women. There are also many officials who know that the legendary Lord Zhang is coming, and they are so frightened that they flee in all directions. I don't do anything to assassinate Shi and the first county officials, I just want to be able to save my life.
And along the way, Zhang Chen's popularity has become more prosperous and his voice is higher. All the goods stolen from the homes of the officials, without exception, were returned to the people. From this point of view, this trip to the Turks is indeed very necessary! When he got back, he planned to take a detour and go in other directions.
There will always be benefits to coming out with Zhang Chen. Although there are many brothers this time, even if they drink and eat a lot, Zhang Chen is still willing to take out the money from his own pocket to improve the food of his brothers.
The farther north you go, the colder it gets. When I came out, Luoyang City was quite hot at noon, and now the night is about to drift snowflakes. However, it's cold and good, he can hug Qiu Zhengshu tightly at night, which feels super cool. Qiu Zhengshu has been watered by his hard work, and now she is even more plump. Brilliant light. It's just that the brothers outside are suffering, but there is no way, he can't call the wind and rain to make the weather in the north not cold!
"My lord! Dunhuang County is ahead! Pointing to the yellow sand in front of him, Yu Chi Zhenjin said.
"How many miles are there?" After thinking about it, Zhang Chen asked.
"Judging from the map, there should be less than thirty miles!" Looking at the sheepskin map in his hand, Yu Chi Zhenjin replied.
"Oh, let the brothers speed up their pace and rush to Dunhuang County tonight for the night. You don't have to get frozen! He nodded. Zhang Chen said.
"Yes, sir!" Yu Chi Zhenjin responded.
Along the way, the wind and dust were served, except for the two plump and round beautiful women, who were still radiant. Everyone lost a lot of weight. Even Zhang Chen. I also lost a lot of weight. It's a lot darker, but this makes Zhang Chen look more manly. Alas, anyway. A handsome man is still so handsome even if he is dark. When Mu Wanxiang looked at Zhang Chen, both eyes were electrified. After getting along with Zhang Chen for a long time, she became more and more infatuated with Zhang Chen. This man knows astronomy and geography, and he is simply a jack of all trades! The main thing is that he is so strong and handsome, and she can see that her heart is abrupt.
Li Jian has already learned to be smart, and on such a cold day, he nested in his carriage. Along the way, everyone was also very strange, why didn't the prince and the princess live together? But their Lord Zhang often haunts the princess's room and carriage. Isn't it a good idea to do that?
In fact, Li Jian has never lived with Mu Bangxiang. Li Jianchang is not bad, although he is middle-aged, he can indeed be regarded as dignified. But who is Mubangxiang? How can vision be on such waste? Occasionally help Li Jian beat her back and rub her legs, which is also her duty, for fear of arousing the suspicion of the people in the house. Besides, Li Jian is a dead man in her eyes. Now, I have met Zhang Chen again, this Li Jian and Zhang Chen can't be compared at all!
And Li Jian, knowing that Daomu Bangxiang is the concubine of the Turkic Trimu Sat Khan, no matter how beautiful such a woman is, does he dare to move? He already enjoyed having such a woman rub his shoulders for him. Therefore, every time Mu Bangxiang served him, he would put on a posture of enjoying it.
Under Zhang Chen's signal, everyone quickened their pace. No one wants to spend the night in such a place, dry and cold. But Zhang Chen and the others didn't go far before they saw a group of people in front of them, covered with dust.
Zhang Chen was taken aback, all the way, there was nothing to do, did he want to make something happen when he was about to arrive in Dunhuang County? didn't have time to think about it, Zhang Chen asked people to stop immediately, set up a formation, and prepare to face the battle. When the gang approached, Zhang Chen saw them waving the banner of the Tang Dynasty in their hands, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
The group stopped, and a tall, middle-aged man wearing armor and riding a black horse walked out of the crowd, looked at the crowd and shouted, "Lord Zhang! Is Lord Zhang here? ”
"This official is Zhang Hongyu, is there anything wrong with the general?" Zhang Chen rode forward and asked. And Yu Chi Zhenjin and others hurriedly followed Zhang Chen's side and protected Zhang Chen.
"The last general, Mo Tai, is on the order of the great general Wang Huaihua, and is here to welcome Lord Zhang!" The tall general looked at Zhang Chen and said. Respectfully.
"Hmmm! There is General Law! Please also ask the general to lead the way! Nodding, Zhang Chen said.
"Yes, sir!" Mo Tai replied. Then let the horses turn around.
Before coming here, Zhang Chen had already done his homework. The general who guarded Dunhuang County was called Wang Huaihua, who was a brave and warlike man, bold and informal. Of course, this is just what others said, but whether this is the case or not, we will know after a while.
When Zhang Chen's group arrived at Dunhuang County, it was already dark. Wang Huaihua was leading heavy troops to meet Zhang Chen at the gate of the city, and there were many people in the city. Wang Huaihua is a general, with an army of 200,000, and according to his official rank, he should be a minister of the imperial court. If it wasn't Zhang Chen who came this time, he would definitely not have greeted him so grandly. And the people in the city came out to greet Zhang Chen on their own, and Zhang Chen's deeds had already spread to Dunhuang County. Although the people of Dunhuang County did not benefit from Zhang Chen, everyone wanted to witness the demeanor of this legendary Zhang who loved the people like a son.
Before Zhang Chen could get closer, Wang Huaihua had already greeted him, looked at Zhang Chen clenching his fists, and said with a smile: "Lord Zhang, right?" ”
"It's Xia Guan. General Wang, right? Zhang Chen also hugged his fists.
"Master Zhang is really dignified, handsome and extraordinary!" Wang Huaihua said with a smile. With just one glance, he had a great impression of Zhang Chen. What's more, those rumors about Zhang Chen. also made him always want to meet the legendary Lord Zhang.
"General Wang is really mighty, and his aura is magnificent!" Zhang Chen also smiled.
"Master Zhang, please! Huaihua is a rough man, let's stop complimenting each other here! Huaihua heard about Mr. Zhang's deeds, Huaihua admired Mr. Zhang's personality from the bottom of his heart, and always wanted to meet Mr. Zhang and have a drink! Wang Huaihua said as he left. Fast-talking.
"When the general said this, Hongyu didn't know what to say!" Zhang Chen said with a smile. He also likes to get along with these straight people.
Then, a large crowd. Mighty drove into Dunhuang County. The people of Dunhuang County saw Zhang Chen. They all raised their hands and cheered. Speaking of conscience, Zhang Chen didn't expect that he would be so vocal in this far area.
At night. Wang Huaihua threw a banquet. Wash the dust for Zhang Chen and Li Jian. The crowd drank it happily. Of course, for Li Jian, Wang Huaihua is just coping with a scene. He didn't have any friendship with Li Jian. The relationship between Yu Chi Zhenjin and Wang Huaihua is very good. The examiner of the Wei Chi Zhenjin martial arts examination was Wang Huaihua, so Wang Huaihua was still Yu Chi Zhenjin's master. Therefore, the two of them wanted to see each other, and they were very happy! Hearing that Yu Chi Zhenjin is now following Zhang Chen, Wang Huaihua is even happier in his heart!
There are still a few days before the birthday of the Great Khan of Qimin, and Zhang Chen and the others naturally cannot rush over in advance. It is necessary to calculate the time and arrive on the day of the birthday of the Great Khan of Qimin.
stayed in Dunhuang County for two days, accompanied Wang Huaihua to go around and play. Zhang Chen's group of people are on the road again. Wang Huaihua sent Zhang Chen and others out of Dunhuang County, and they did not send them far. Although the Turks and the Tang Dynasty were friendly, no military intervention was allowed on the border between the two countries. Twenty-five miles in the north and south, fifty miles in between, almost no man's land.
When they arrived in the Turks, every step that Zhang Chen and his group took had to take out the customs clearance documents of the Tang Dynasty to show their intentions. Qimin Khan lived in Shiguo, which was some distance from the border between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty, and could not be reached by reaching the Turks. There was nothing wrong all the way, and Zhang Chen didn't think anything could happen. This birthday greeting, and so many congratulatory gifts have been sent, that Great Khan of Qimin will know that he must be happy to death!
Because of the red jade brand soap, Zhang Chen is also very famous in Turkic. As Erdo said, as soon as soap entered the Turks, it was indeed a big sale, and it was in short supply at all. As soon as the supply arrived, it was sold out in almost two or three days.
Stone Town is next to Stone Castle, which is the capital of Stone Country. Tomorrow is the 60th birthday of the Great Khan of Qimin, and Zhang Chen decided to spend the night in Stone City first, and then rush to Stone City early tomorrow morning.
As soon as he entered Stone Town, he was greeted by a man. This person is wearing a big hat, a tiger fur hat, and a big beard, and it is none other than the prince of the Trimu department!
When Erduo saw Zhang Chen, he was very enthusiastic, so he greeted him from afar, looked at Zhang Chen and shouted: "Oh, my old friend, you are finally here!" Erdo has been waiting for you here for a while! ”
As he spoke, he walked up to Zhang Chen and stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around Zhang Chen's shoulder, which was very cordial. This made Zhang Chen a little embarrassed, their relationship doesn't seem to be so good?
"Hehehe, His Royal Highness the Prince, I haven't seen you for many days, don't come unharmed?" Zhang Chen asked with a smile.
"Erdo has been very good lately, because of Lord Zhang's soap, Erdo is now a businessman! Master Zhang, Erduo is not wrong, right? That's the number a year, it's absolutely fine! Erdo said with a smile. As he spoke, he bundled his five fingers.
In less than a month, the total sales of Zhang Chen's soap in Turkic have exceeded 500,000 taels of silver! Excluding the freight and cost of going back and forth, it is not a problem to make a net profit of 300,000 taels. The two of them are divided like this, that is, 150,000 taels per person, and 500,000 taels of silver a year, there is indeed no problem for the two of them.
"Hehehe......" Zhang Chen smiled and said, "No, no problem!" That's not all thanks to the blessings of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! ”
"That Lord Zhang, think about thinking about the toothbrush business and the tea business? I heard that Mr. Zhang has recently studied what kind of bicycle, on which people can walk automatically. What, is Zhang interested in continuing to work with Erdo? This time, Erduo only received 30%, and 30% after removing the cost! Erduo put his arm around Zhang Chen's shoulders and said with a smile.
"Well, the toothbrush and tea business is fine! It's just that this bicycle costs too much, and it can't be afforded by ordinary people! It is also extremely bulky and time-consuming and laborious to transport. Wait for Zhang to have a better research, and then cooperate with His Royal Highness the Prince! After thinking about it, Zhang Chen said. In his opinion, Erdo really just wanted to do business with him. Moreover, if he wants to develop his business to the Turks, he will inevitably need someone like Erdo. Anyone else, don't use it!
"Haha......" Erdoha laughed, "It's nothing, it's nothing!" With a toothbrush and tea, Erdo is satisfied! Also, Lord Zhang, what Erdo said to Lord Zhang before, how did Lord Zhang think about it? ”
"This, this, don't hide it from His Royal Highness the Prince, Datang is Zhang's home, and Zhang is reluctant to leave home. And the weather in the north, Zhang is also a little unaccustomed. After thinking about it, Zhang Chen said.
"It's nothing, it's nothing! is still the same sentence, as long as Lord Zhang wants to, Erduo will greet Lord Zhang at any time! Please! Please, Lord Zhang! Erdoha laughed. Make nothing of.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, please!"
Then, Zhang Chen and Erduo walked and chatted, and the conversation was very fateful. Erduo's hearty personality, Zhang Chen really likes it. (To be continued......)
