When Zheng Ning's caravan appeared again, Huo Gang was at Yumen Pass, and this time he came out to greet him in person, because there were some things that had been discussed, and he had other important things to deal with, and there was no time to waste on this.

And as long as the deal is negotiated, there is no need for Huo Gang to deal with things in person.

"General Huo." After Zheng Ning saw Huo Gang, he immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Team Leader Zheng, you have sent a lot of things over this time, aren't you afraid that I will just collect things and not give money?" Huo Gang laughed and made a joke.

General Huo laughed, with General Huo's qualifications, how could he be willing to damage his reputation because of this little thing? I'm afraid that no matter how many times it is, it won't be able to enter General Huo's eyes. Zheng Ning said with a smile.

"Haha, Team Leader Zheng also laughed, I, Huo Gang, am the leader of an ordinary small tribe, look at these people around me, they can't even wear warm clothes on their bodies, it's all my responsibility that is not in place, for them, I really have to do it, I am willing to be a horse thief." Huo Gang also laughed twice.

"Call Team Leader Zheng today to talk about the things we talked about last time, and these goods will be handed over to them for loading and unloading, Team Leader Zheng, please come with me." Huo Gang said directly.

Zheng Ning immediately arched his hand, and after explaining a word, he followed Huo Gang towards Huo Gang's General's Mansion.

And Li Yi next to him naturally followed, but at this moment, Li Yi was holding two boxes in his hands, Huo Gang didn't care, it should be a gift brought by Zheng Ning.

Huo Gang's General's Mansion has been completed, just where the original Yumen Pass General's Mansion is located, the only difference is that the entire wall of the General's Mansion has not been built, only a lonely wooden house has been built, and it is just such a house, which is currently the only house in the entire Yumen Pass that is intact.

The house is an ordinary wing room style, one in and two open, on the left is Huo Gang's reception room, on the right is the bedroom, and in the middle of the hall.

Entering the reception room, there are two chairs inside, speaking of which, these two chairs were built by Huo Gang asked the carpenter to help him, and the chair has not yet been invented in this era, more of a stool or a couch.

Huo Zheng was directly guarding outside, and inside the house were Huo Gang and Zheng Ning, as well as Li Yi who was wearing the clothes of a subordinate.

Entering the house, Huo Gang pointed to the position next to him and said with a smile, "Please sit." ”

However, Zheng Ning arched his hand at Huo Gang, and then spoke: "General, forgive me for not telling the truth, let me introduce to the general, this is my main family, the next head of the Dunhuang house of the Li family in Longxi." ”

Hearing Zheng Ning's words, Huo Gang was stunned for a moment, and the middle-aged man next to him had already smiled and arched his hand: "Li Yi of the Li clan in Longxi has seen General Huo, and General Huo is indeed the dragon and phoenix among people." ”

"It turned out to be the head of the Li family." Huo Gang arched his hand at Li Yi with some surprise, he was really a little surprised, the head of these family lords, even if it was the next head of the family, they were all big shots.

"The general laughed, I'm not the head of the family yet." Li Yi smiled slightly, and at the same time handed the gift box in his hand to Zheng Ning next to him, "These are two pieces of mutton fat white jade from the Western Regions, and they were transferred to the general, I don't think the general has a seal yet, this jade is not a rare item, but the carved seal complements each other." ”

"Then thank you Li Langjun." Huo Gang smiled and spoke, but he didn't refuse.

"General Huo is polite, I came this time, in fact, it is also for what General Huo said before, about the war horse transaction, although General Huo is not from my Datang, but he should also know my Datang, General Huo should know that although my Longxi Li family is also a big family, but this war horse transaction cannot be carried out casually."

"So I don't hide it from General Huo, I just came back from Chang'an, and I met the saint in Chang'an." Li Yi said as he arched his hand at Dongfang.

Huo Gang instantly understood, Li Yi actually went to see Li Shimin? Speaking of which, Li Yi is now talking to him on behalf of Li Shimin?

"So that's the case, I don't know what the emperor of your country wants to say?" Huo Gang's tone was quite calm, as a later generation, although he was somewhat curious about these famous emperors through the ages, Huo Gang did not forget his identity, he was not from the Tang Dynasty.

Huo Gang's attitude made Li Yi choke and pause for a moment, and then he spoke: "Let me convey the meaning of the sage, before our war horse trade, according to the sage, the scale is too small, if it is only such a low quantity, then the price cannot be according to the price mentioned before, and there can be no barter." ”

"Oh? What if I insist? Huo Gang asked expressionlessly.

Li Yi immediately showed a wry smile on his face, and then said directly: "I only convey the meaning of the sage, that is, either the business will be bigger, or this business will not be done." ”

Huo Gang paused, to be honest, hearing this, Huo Gang believed that this was said by Li Shimin, and the other party was obviously sure that Huo Gang could only do business with Datang, otherwise, he estimated that he would not do any business with Datang.

To a certain extent, Li Shimin is right, he can indeed only do business with Datang now, to be precise, only Datang can now meet Huo Gang's demand for various materials in the early stage, especially food.

Even if there is spiritual spring water, Huo Gang estimated that he will not be able to achieve complete food self-sufficiency until at least this autumn, and this is still if they open up enough land.

However, even if the land is not enough, the combination of grain and beef and mutton can allow him to survive this year without a problem, and next year, Huo Gang believes that the land under his name is enough for grain planting.

Thinking of this, Huo Gang had to sigh, none of these famous emperors in history are simple, and there may be many people in later generations who evaluate some of Li Er's problems, but there is one thing to say, no matter what later generations say, from Li Er's point of view, how many can do better than Li Er?

Datang's family gate valve is indeed a huge problem, Li Er's upper position is actually restricted by many family door valves, but Li Er has been trying to find a way to weaken the family door valve, and it is already very good to be able to do it to this point.

If you think about it carefully, Li Er's start is simply hellish difficulty, first of all, being the emperor is robbed, and the position is not right. Secondly, after taking the position, the beginning was ****** consecutively, and there were big enemies such as the Eastern Turks and Tuyuhun to the outside world, so they plundered if they had nothing to do.

Then Goguryeo in the east is also not at all restless, and it is quite bullish to be able to be stabilized by Li Er's situation one by one.

With the perspective of Huo Quai's life, Huo Gang can actually feel that quite an emperor is not so simple, if he were a different person, he would have died a long time ago.

Many people say that Li Er found it himself, but in fact, from the perspective of later generations, it is clear that Li Er was actually forced.

After Li Yuan became the emperor, the area controlled by the entire Tang Dynasty was actually very small, and the entire Central Plains was not stable.

But Li Shimin did this, and the result was that Li Shimin's prestige in the army became heavier and heavier, so heavy that if Li Shimin was not the emperor, what would be the result? If Li Jiancheng takes the position, will he let Li Shimin have such a high prestige in the army?
