The large-scale collective competition project was loved by all the enthusiastic young people present, and in the hot matches of each sports meeting, polo started again, but this time the winner was neither Uncle Li's Wang Ye team, nor Cheng Lao Goblin's veteran ruffian team, but the cadet team of Datang Military Academy.

There were a total of eight teams participating in the competition this time, one was organized by Qujiang Academy, one was also organized by the civil official group, and one was also organized by the civil official group, in addition, the children of the gentlemen who were not in the army also organized one to participate, and of course, there were also Guozijian, Hongwenguan and Chongwenguan, these national universities also organized a team at the request of Uncle Li. The twelve guards of Datang who stayed in the capital have already decided on a champion team to compete: the Qianniu Guards.

Eight teams fought hard, the first to be eliminated, naturally the national academy team, and then, the civil official group actually defeated the team with a big score, well, after eight games of competition, the strength is strong, with the tacit understanding of the Datang Royal Military Academy team, the first time on the championship podium.

This time, Uncle Cheng did not feel annoyed that he did not win the championship, but was excited to be happy, after all, in the cadet team of the Datang Military Academy, half of his dozen children were all in battle, and when his father became the champion, he received a medal at most.

Uncle Li was very annoyed, it was precisely because he was overjoyed and drunk because he defeated the veteran ruffian team again the day before, which led to the absence of the next day and the loss of Uncle Li, a powerful striker, that the Wang Ye team lost the championship under the fierce attack of the academy team, Uncle Li was dissatisfied with a silver medal, and very indignantly threatened that a group of good players must be recruited next year, no matter what, to regain the championship throne.

The vigorous Tang Dynasty Royal Academy Winter Games finally came to an end, the military and civilians of Chang'an were satisfied, welcoming the arrival of the New Year, and the envoys of Persia and other Central Asian countries also came to Chang'an again, this time, not only brought a large number of goods, but also brought the copper promised by the Persians.

------------------------------------------------Well, Uncle Li was very happy and praised it, but this time it was not His Royal Highness the prince who came last time, but the deputy prime minister of Persia, the deputy envoy of Persia came, and brought a large order, hoping that the Tang Dynasty could send another 1 to 20,000 people of the Tang Volunteer Expeditionary Force to help Persia and Central Asian countries resist the invasion of the Great Cannibals and the attack of the Western Turks.

"You mean, that Ebi shoots and sends a large army to conquer Val, etc.?" Uncle Li sat firmly on the dragon couch, his brows raised slightly, and anyone could hear the displeasure in Uncle Li's tone. The Persian envoys nodded again and again, it turned out that after Arifa III suffered a defeat this year, he finally put away his arrogance, calmed down, and did not immediately launch retaliation, but sent envoys to the Western Turks, befriended the Turkic barbarians, and hoped to be able to form an alliance between the two sides, and then divide up these rich countries in Central Asia.

The Western Turks tried to attack the Tang Dynasty many times, but they were all frustrated, and the heart of returning to the East has become weaker and weaker, and the construction of the towering Khan's straight road has caused many large-scale conflicts between the Western Turks and the nine surnames of Tiele. The weakness and richness of the armament of the Central Asian nobility gradually turned the attention of the Turkic aristocracy to Central Asia and further west.

Although the two sides only had a few small-scale contacts, the problem was that the armies of the Central Asian countries were not of the same grade at all compared with the Turkic soldiers.

Therefore, the purpose of their coming to Chang'an this time is to hope that Datang can help them again. Uncle Li naturally patted his chest and promised to send envoys to negotiate with the Western Turks, hoping to mediate, and in addition, agreed to recruit another 15,000 volunteers for the Tang Expedition to expand the number of weapons sold to Persia and Central Asian countries.

The annual output of the Datang Martial Arts Research Institute, in terms of cold weapons, at least nearly half of them belong to export models, plus the external sales profits of various equipment such as armor, only last year, it exceeded two million guan, which is not counting the domestic sales of Datang itself, Datang is not like the Song Dynasty, in cold weapons, in addition to crossbows and knives and heavy equipment, the rest such as knives, swords, gongs, whips, etc., people can buy their own for self-defense, or for decoration, And the blades and armor of the Tang Dynasty's government army were prepared in this way.

Compared with the external world, the annual internal sales profit is simply a heaven and an underground, well, this sweetness really makes these important ministers of the Tang Dynasty see how terrifying the profits of the arms trade are. No wonder in later generations, the two types of business activities are the most profitable, that is, drug trafficking, or arms smuggling, and now, Uncle Li, the head of the Tang Dynasty imperialism, is the head of this arms, but Uncle Li is the emperor, so naturally there is no need for smuggling, just do it blatantly.

At least as far as I know, arms sales probably didn't start to appear until before the First World War, and now, it's been more than a thousand years in advance, but that's fine, at least we Datang can get more benefits from it.

And Uncle Li also issued an edict and established the Tang Dynasty Persian Metropolitan Protectorate, the imperial grandson Li Fuyao led the Persian metropolitan protectorate, Uncle Li Jing was the deputy metropolitan protector, and the other deputy metropolitan protector was Liu Hongji, these two were also remote leaders, like the imperial grandson, and Xi Junmai had already left Fujiwara Road and was rushing to Chang'an to report on his work, and he arrived in a few days. is ready to take over the position of deputy protector of the Persian capital, well, the official on the fourth grade, it seems that Xi Jun's sale has finally come out. You must know that in addition to Wang Xuance, a civilian official, in Central Asia, this general who broke through thousands of enemies with hundreds of horses has the highest military position.

At the beginning of the 23rd year of Zhenguan, the Datang National Money Bank was officially established, and ten days later, the Datang Royal Commercial Bank was officially established, becoming the first commercial bank in Datang with a capital of 5 million. At this point, the first institution on the earth specializing in financial business activities and insurance business activities was officially established in the Tang Empire.

And Zou Fengchi became the general manager of the Datang Royal Commercial Money Bank, and of course he was also a shareholder. At the establishment party of the Tang Royal Money Bank, a friend and comrade who had been separated for several years were ushered in: Xi Junmai.

------------------------------------------------ is more mature than a few years ago, and it is not like the past, it always gives people a tense momentum, and it seems to be a lot more restrained. However, when meeting with this gentleman's brother, Shuangxiang still couldn't suppress his excitement. "Jun Sell has seen the Lord of the Yuanzheng, I haven't seen him for a few years, and the demeanor of the adult is more prosperous in the past." Xi Jun bowed to me.

I also hurriedly returned the salute, and Fang Zi took his hand: "I have received your letter a long time ago, but I can't wait left and right, and I still think that you were robbed by a girl from a family in the middle of the road, if you don't come tonight, I really want to scold you!" "I'm half-truthful.

"Also, don't call me Lord Shiziyuan, I don't like to hear this, our brothers, the letter is all called Brother Tai and Virtuous Brother, how did we meet, but we got angry? Let's go, go in and punish myself with three cups! "I dragged this guy in. Entering the hall, many familiar people shouted loudly, and Xi Junmai didn't even say a word to me, so he pulled over and asked people to take turns pouring wine, but the amount of wine sold by Xi Jun was not as good as ordinary people.

After the excitement, I was finally able to talk to Xi Junmai, and the others naturally didn't come to bother. In the past few years, the communication between me and Xi Junliang and Liu Renliang has never been broken, and there are often letters back and forth between us, although we can't see each other, but this feeling is getting stronger and stronger, Xi Junmai also married a daughter-in-law in Fujiwara Jing, and became Liu Renliang's son-in-law, well, don't talk about me, even Su Dingfang and others were taken aback, how could I never have imagined that this Liu Renliang and Xi Junliang were two people in Fujiwara Road, one article and one martial arts, and they were also at the same level there, but who would have thought that the person who was originally a brother and a native of the world, now became a son-in-law, At that time, when I saw the news from Xi Junmai and Liu Renliang, I almost choked to death with tea.

Seriously, at the time, I even wondered if these two were bored on Fujiwara Road, and I wanted to tease my son and ask for the bride price to spend, so I specially used the information of the concert to inquire, but I didn't expect that these two were really not cheating me about the bride price money. Moreover, Liu Renliang himself proposed to sell his daughter to marry Xi Jun, and Xi Jun did not mean to be forced, and in the letter, he also praised Liu Renliang's daughter for how virtuous and virtuous she was.
