Lu Jiong squinted his eyes and stared at Dai Wang, but he couldn't see the other party's true expression from the wooden pimple mask, and even the eyes hidden under the mask were obscure.

"Please think about this matter, and forgive me for not being able to do it. The camp of the Dunhuang Doulu army is fixed, and the military envoys rotate like flowing water. Even if I can promise you now, but in case An Si Shun An Zhongcheng takes me out and someone else comes to take office. The promises I have made to you are all null and void. ”

"You won't be replaced, at least for three years, you can sit comfortably in the position of Doulu's military envoy. My family Ah Lang is a doctor of imperial history, Longyou interview envoys, herd envoys, and recruiters, and An Zhongcheng will still give him this face. ”

Lu Jiong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he always felt a little aggrieved when he heard this, is it a good thing not to move for three years? Dare to be affectionate, in your eyes, Lao Tzu is not worthy of promotion?

Dai Wang realized from Lu Jiong's sluggish expression that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly opened his mouth to remedy: "If you can stay in the position of Doulu's military envoy for three years, I will definitely speak well for you in front of Ah Lang." Ah Lang can go straight to the palace and meet His Majesty, and when the time comes, he will transfer you to the command of Ge Shuhan, the envoy of Longyou Jiedu, will the day of the general's emergence be far away? ”

It seems that his bottom line has been fully known by others, which is enough to show that this Dai Wang is indeed Li Siye's henchman, Lu Jiong breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said categorically: "It's decided!" ”

The reason why he was able to make a decision was more out of a political investment. The entire Longyou Dao knows that Li Siye's official fortune is in full swing, and Dr. Li's future is not limited to this, he may be able to be the envoy of Hexi Festival in the future, and even enter the court as a minister.

Moreover, this Dai Liulang has a lot of money, and he doesn't know how much business he can do, so he dares to promise him the benefits of 5,000 yuan a year. According to this rate, Dai Wang must have an income of more than 80,000 yuan a year to taste the sweetness, and it is rare to have such an income in the Western Regions all year round.

"Thanks to the general for his full support, Dai Wang took his leave."

Lu Jiong stood up and arched his hand towards him: "Mr. Dai, in order to avoid people's eyes, it is inconvenient for me to send it away, let the housekeeper send you." ”

The lame steward flashed out of the door and courteously invited Dai Wang out of the door.

When the steward turned back from the outside and entered the room, he began to nagging and counting: "How can Ah Lang promise him three years at once?" In case the other party has expensive bulk goods in circulation, it is convenient for us to increase the price next year. ”

"How much oil and water can a merchant have? It lasted for 100,000 a year. ”

"I can't say for sure."

It is indeed impossible to say, common sense limits the imagination of the Lu military envoy. He couldn't imagine that the other party had a huge logistics team, and he couldn't imagine the transportation capacity of Dai Wang and his team. All in all, Yangguan will no longer have the cold silence of the past in the future, and it will become a busy transfer station.

……

The whole of East Asia is imitating Luoyang, Chang'an, and even the exotic Dunhuang is no exception, they have planned a market in the city, and they have also planned a place of sound and color on the edge of the market. The name sounds poetic and reminiscent, and it is more in line with the meaning of entertainment than a modest name like Pingkangfang.

There is a Muzhuang in the Weeping Moon Fang, which is the most high-end brothel in Dunhuang City, and the best beauties in the workshop are concentrated in the workshop. There are also characteristics that Chang'an Pingkang Fang does not have, that is, Hu Ji Wu Ji Guan Mei Mei mixed, as long as you have gold and silver collars in your hand, you can list the beauties of any race in front of you.

It is a testing ground for ethnic exchange and integration, with colorful costumes and streamers, and maiko dancing in every pavilion.

Muzhuang is the private property of the Zhang family in Dunhuang, and tonight they deliberately cleared the main building of the village, Cuige, to entertain several distinguished and mysterious guests.

A group of maiko dressed in crimson dresses lined up in two rows into the pavilion, and two servants closed the door outside the door, hiding the glorious spring light. They had no choice but to put their eyes on the crack in the door, but the white tent hung down, blocking the light from the red and green.

They could only watch the light from the screen window, and listen to the laughter of men and women, so their eyes were red and their ears were hot, and they couldn't help themselves.

The dancers in the wide chamber danced the Hu Xuan dance barefoot with their skirts, the bells on the foot rings jingled, the musicians held the pipa, held the jade flute and sat in the corner, the music swayed gently with the body, and the lingering and lengthy music decorated the joy.

Next to each of the guests present sat a woman in a low-cut skirt, and the plain white veined cherub could not hide the full spring light, and they exchanged glasses with each other in the middle of the persuasion, and all kinds of flattery and lingering love words were intertwined and chaotic.

Li Siye sat in the position of guest of honor, and the beauties around him couldn't let go because of his special identity and cold personality, so he only dared to hold a wine glass and persuade him to drink sweetly.

It's not that Li Siye was born cold, it's not that he is holding a posture because of his identity, but that he has a different aesthetic from these deflated calves. Makeup is to cover up ugliness, not to show ugliness, in this case, it is the kind of same lead powder face, with a little flower on the forehead, and a thick rouge on the cheeks, which hides the original natural beauty of the woman.

There is also the kind of deliberately enlarged blush, which just wants to make the thin-faced woman look fatter, which is completely unnecessary. In his past memories, the only people who dared to draw like this were the children's dance team and Nezha Xiaojun who had passed 61.

Dai Wang sat beside him, and there was also a woman beside him, this prostitute had a heart developed enough to force a smile in the face of a cold mask. It may be because Dai Wang is slender and has the characteristics of a beautiful man, and he will wishfully think that the person wearing the mask should be like the King of Lanling, and he is worried that he will charm everyone when he takes off the mask.

Zhang Kuo, the host of this banquet, sat on the side of the main seat, and the Zhang family had more heavyweights than him in attendance, a gray-haired old man over fifty years old, wearing a white plain dress and laughing with the beauty beside him, and he saw the greasy and dry pig's trotters roaming on the woman's creamy shoulders.

Probably sensing that the interest of the distinguished guest was not high, the elder turned around and exchanged expressions with Zhang Kuo, Zhang Kuo nodded in response, raised his palm and gently slapped it twice.

The enchanting dance of the orchids came to an abrupt end, and they slowly withdrew from the wide room in a procession with their skirts, and the sound of silk and bamboo also stopped suddenly, and the musicians bowed down to withdraw with pipa and other musical instruments.

The excitement of the crowd and the heat of the venue could not be cooled down all at once, and the guests were still laughing with the women beside them, and their cold eyes swept over the ugliness of everyone, and the voice slightly drowned out the laughter of the people in the audience and said, "You should also retreat." ”

As soon as the proprietor spoke, the women quickly withdrew from the guests, even if they were already in love and were doing unbearable things, they would never drag their feet.

The well-dressed beasts were stunned, and quickly tidied up their clothes and restored them to sanctimonious appearance.

Zhang Kuo coughed and cleared his throat, and said with a full heart: "I invited everyone here today, mainly to talk about a business, this business is very big, and my Zhang family naturally does not have this ability to enjoy it alone, so I invite you to come and participate together." ”

After Zhang Kuo finished speaking, he supported the lower plate and moved to the side, giving up the main position and looking at Li Siye, but Li Siye glanced back at Dai Wang beside him, making him fully responsible.

Dai Wangshi Shiran stood up and arched his hand to everyone present, most of whom were stunned by his mysterious mask, thinking that he was a hidden boss who controlled the overall situation.

He stepped over to the throne and sat down cross-legged. Zhang Kuo stretched out his hand with a respectful expression and introduced: "This is Mr. Dai, the owner of the big business, Mr. Dai, all of you present are businessmen in Longyoushu, Hexi, and you have always had dealings with my Zhang family. This is Guazhou Suoshi Suotong, this is Lanzhou Lu Xiu, this is Liangzhou Gaogai, and this is Xue Yong in Shu. ”

Suo Tong frequently exchanged glances with Li Siye before turning his gaze to Dai Wang.

Dai bowed his hands to everyone one by one, and raised his head and said: "I am preparing to set up a Western Regions Commercial Bank, which is responsible for transporting pepper, fennel, benzoin, dipterocarp and other spices from India all the way to Yangguan in batches. Regarding the price of these goods, we will estimate the market price and reduce it significantly, so as to ensure that the goods sold in your hands have a great profit margin, and we will cooperate for a win-win situation to earn the world's wealth. ”

The first reaction of the businessmen when they heard this sentence was not applause, nor archiving, but dissatisfaction and doubts. What did he say? Why should we buy spices from him? If we go to India to buy it ourselves, won't we make more profit from the goods?
