Chapter 374: The Tubo People Who Are Still in the Dark
Since Elder Sun entrusted the enrollment matter to Lu Heng.
Then Lu Heng could only help him.
After all, since he met Old Man Sun, Lu Heng has not bothered him less.
Not only did he learn a lot of medical skills from him, but he also gave him two apprentices, which made him suffer a lot.
And Sun Lao has always been teaching with all his heart, and has never said anything else.
But the good thing is that Sun Lao's brand is still leveraged at least in Datang!
Lu Heng calculated in his heart that it would be the release time of the new issue of the newspaper in just a few days.
simply asked his daughter-in-law to write a letter directly.
Let Li Chengqian, who is now personally in charge of managing the newspaper, send an enrollment advertisement to Sun Lao in the newspaper.
I can also take this opportunity to promote my new college.
If someone is willing to come to the academy to learn other subjects, then Lu Heng is naturally very welcome.
In addition to the enrollment advertisement, wait until Sun Lao sorts out the catalog of textbooks he wants to use.
It is also necessary for Li Chengqian to use movable type printing to print a batch of them.
Otherwise, if you wait until the students have arrived, the teaching materials will still be in place.
That's embarrassing.
In the past few days, Lu Heng has been busy with Sun Lao recruiting students.
Wang Xuance, who was far away on the frontier, also received a letter from Lu Heng who sent a fast horse.
After reading the letter.
Wang Xuance's face couldn't help but show an expression of excitement!
The frontier above this plateau has been exposed to the wind and sun for months.
He finally waited for this good opportunity to make a contribution!
After putting away the letter, Wang Xuance immediately went outside the camp tent and found Zheng Yang, who was roasting a leg of lamb with other comrades.
Since coming to this frontier, although the credit of their group of people has not been reaped.
But because he was helping Cheng Yanjin to trade with the Tubo people.
So Lao Cheng didn't treat them badly.
After each transaction, some cattle and sheep can be left to improve their food.
Therefore, after these days, none of them will complain.
Pulling Zheng Yang back to the camp, Wang Xuance whispered to him:
"Don't play with them these days, business is coming!"
"Business?" Zheng Yang asked with some confusion: "Isn't the next batch of drinks arriving tomorrow?" Now what else do we have to do besides this? ”
Wang Xuance took out the letter that Lu Heng gave him from his arms and let him read it for himself.
He said to him, "If the colt's guess is correct, then I'm afraid that tomorrow the drink trade is over." ”
"The Tibetans are going to do it to us!"
Zheng Yang also read the letter and realized that such a big thing had happened in Chang'an City recently.
The wine, which was originally worth thousands of dollars, has now become worthless!
As long as you want to buy it, no matter who you are, you can buy it at any time in the restaurant.
There are no more outrageously high premiums!
As for Zheng Yang, who pretended to be the Cheng family caravan and traded wine with the Tubo people, of course they knew it.
Now the Tibetans have so much wine in their hands.
This is really after receiving the news that the wine is no longer worth anything.
That's going to be madness!
Therefore, Zheng Yang couldn't help but be a little worried and said:
"Then once the Tubo side knows about this matter, I'm afraid that they will definitely come to us to settle accounts."
"But now that's all there are on our side."
"In this way, we can do what the horse said, and teach the Tubo people a lesson?"
In the face of Zheng Yang's worries, Wang Xuance was full of confidence.
This is not mainly because of anything else, but the personalities of the two are very different.
Although Zheng Yang said that the talent for investigation is indeed full.
But in the end, I haven't read much, and my personality is more honest.
There are no fancy intestines in the stomach.
And Wang Xuance is different, he is a natural personality.
After this period of tempering, the already expensive pattern has gradually been sharpened.
So now for him.
This is a good opportunity to make a difference!
"You don't have to worry about this,"
"I naturally have a way!"
In order to dispel his friend's doubts, Wang Xuance explained to him:
"Once Tubo raises troops, it will definitely be true that there will be no fewer people coming."
"But although we have fewer people, we can move more flexibly and lightly."
Speaking of this, Wang Xuance lowered his voice and reminded his friend:
"Not to mention, we actually have the secret weapon that the colt gave us."
"So don't think about anything else."
"What we're going to do now is to close the deal tomorrow."
"Hurry up and leave here, and then find a chance to give the Tubo people a while!"
Zheng Yang saw that his friend was so confident.
also naturally let go of the doubts in his heart.
Nodding in agreement, "Okay!" Then I'll send a few people out now. ”
"According to our original plan, we will keep an eye on the movements of these Tibetans."
After staying in the frontier for so long, Wang Xuance and Zheng Yang are not in vain.
Tubo would have been going to raise troops against the Tang Dynasty a long time ago.
The several routes that must be taken have all been figured out.
After all, although the grassland is incomparably wide, it is true.
But if the army wants to act, the water that is already cherished on the plateau is indispensable no matter what.
So just arrange spies in these water sources where it is convenient for the army to get water on its way.
Then naturally you will be able to smoothly grasp the line of action of the Tibetan army.
The two of them discussed some more details.
Zheng Yang walked out of the tent and ordered a few capable scouts.
One person and two horses, with the supplies that had been prepared for a long time, went directly out of the camp.
Disappeared into the vast grassland.
And wait until the next morning.
When the Tibetan side was in charge of trading, the Qin Ling came outside Wang Xuance's camp.
When he found that Zheng Yang and others, who were familiar to him, did not appear.
He was also a little curious and asked: "Shopkeeper Wang, why aren't the Zheng Yang brothers here today?" ”
Facing this Tibetan nobleman who is already about to become a mature man with himself.
After observing the expressions of him and his entourage, Wang Xuance judged that they had indeed not received the news from Chang'an.
He replied with a smile: "Don't say it, this kid has been addicted to hunting recently, and he left a few brothers yesterday and has not yet returned." ”
"When he went out, he said that he must fight a steppe wolf this time, and I think he is afraid that he will not have that luck."
Regarding Wang Xuance's explanation, Qin Ling didn't doubt it much.
After all, compared to the bustling and lively Tang Dynasty, this empty and barren plateau is too desolate.
It's normal to stay for a long time and get bored and have some fun for yourself.
"Hahaha, the steppe wolf is not easy to provoke, once it encounters a group, it is better for you to ask Brother Zheng Yang not to provoke."
The two men were talking and laughing, and the rest of the people on both sides counted the wine and the cattle used for trade.
Look at the list of recorded animals that my men have brought with them.
Wang Xuance said with some dissatisfaction: "There are fewer and fewer horses and more cattle and sheep you are sending now, and if this continues, our host will be unhappy." ”
In the face of Wang Xuance's dissatisfaction, on Qinling could only smile and make amends.
After all, in their opinion, the reason why Cheng Yanjin was willing to trade wine with them in the first place.
For the horses, not the sheep and cows.
But now with the trade is going on more and more.
In the hands of the Tibetans, especially in the hands of Zanpu Songtsen Gampo.
There are fewer and fewer horses that can be used for trade.
Many of these horses sent now were exchanged for green salt and tea in the hands of other Tibetan nobles.
But now it is a bit embarrassing that as they exchange more and more tea and green salt through wine.
Now these two things are also depreciating more and more among other Tibetan nobles.
So there are fewer and fewer horses that can be exchanged for it.
In fact, this incident made it quite uncomfortable for Lun Qinling himself.
After all, he relied on the credit of the wine trade.
In order to gain power in Songtsen Gampo and get the big oil and water in charge of the wine trade.
If it was really because of the decrease in horses, Cheng Yanjin was reluctant to trade with him anymore.
Or in Tibet to find other trading partners.
Then he couldn't afford to give Zampu an errand.
