When Yun Chu was educated in school before, the professor once said something that he thought was a joke, and since he became an official in the Tang Dynasty to a certain extent, he began to re-examine what the professor said.

"Small politics are not in the people, and big politics are not in the people."

The meaning of this sentence is that a person with less political achievements thinks about problems from the perspective of the court rather than the people, while a person with greater political achievements thinks about problems from the perspective of the people rather than above the court.

This sentence is meaningful to people who have reached a certain level of officialdom.

Yun Chu is actually at this watershed now.

When he first became an official, Yun Chu's vision was always on the court, even if he did a lot of things in Wannian County, the ultimate goal was to attract the attention of the emperor and even the ministers.

Later, it was different, after sitting in a secure position, he basically did half for the people and half for the court.

Now, going to the Western Regions is completely for the development of Chang'an City, and it can also be said that it is purely for the people.

The Tang Dynasty was the most glorious era of Chang'an City, but unfortunately this glory eventually became a swan song.

And the decline of Chang'an, the roots and seedlings began with Li Zhi's promotion of Luoyang's status......

The most important reason why Chang'an is prosperous is that it is connected to the Western Regions, and businessmen from all over the world have come to Chang'an, creating a different prosperity from previous years.

The potential of Guanzhong has been basically exhausted in order to supply the huge city of Chang'an, and since the water of the lake in Guanzhong is not enough to support Chang'an, Yun Chu wants to widen the commercial river that flows from the Western Regions to Chang'an.

Lest after the emperor went to Luoyang with hundreds of civil and military officials, Chang'an would gradually decline because of the lack of a large number of capital resources.

For this reason, he is willing to take the power that Chang'an City can control to officially clear all obstacles that are not conducive to trade on the road from the Western Regions to Chang'an.

Therefore, along the way, it will be a situation of rivers of blood.

"This two hundred and five is in a hurry...... "After Li Zhi finished reading Yun Chu's recital, he put it aside lightly and said to Wu Mei, who was sitting by the stream and bathing his feet.

Wu Mei glanced at it and said, "The Divine Capital is about to be built, the relocation of the court is imperative, Yun Chu's dream will eventually turn into ashes, he is dying."

Li Zhi let go of the giant bear's round ears, picked up the song and looked at it again, "It's quite unique, he swept the bandits along the way, and he should have gained a lot, but if the Marquis of Guanzhong wants to get money to strengthen Chang'an City by clearing out the bandits, it is somewhat undignified by the imperial court."

Wu Mei smiled and said, "Your Majesty doesn't doubt his ability?"

Li Zhi laughed and said, "A wise general who is invincible on the battlefield in Liaodong, a fierce general, to strangle a group of horse thieves, bandits, and robbers, I don't think there is any difficulty."

"He will also organize an unprecedentedly large caravan to do business in the Western Regions, and continue to promote the wealth and prosperity of Chang'an City.

Li Zhi looked at Wu Mei puzzled and said, "Chang'an City is mine, and the gods are also mine, where did the great disrespect you said come from?"

Wu Mei smiled and said, "If the gods really can't compare to Chang'an......

Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "I don't care! The more he does this kind of thing, the more stable my country will be."

Wu Mei was speechless for a moment and said, "The concubine always feels that this matter is not as simple as he said."

Li Zhi sneered and said, "You mean Prince Beluz's matter? Do you think I don't know?"

Wu Mei looked at Li Zhi and sighed, "Wise and unprecedented, Your Majesty."

Li Zhi handed Yun Chu's recital to Wu Mei and said, "Yes."

Wu Mei said in surprise, "Okay? Are they all accurate? Your Majesty allowed Pei Xingjian to take up the post of Protector of Anxi?"

Li Zhidao "Pei Xingjian has been sad recently, I sympathized with him and allowed him to leave the ministry and move to the Anxi Metropolitan Protector"

"Didn't Your Majesty already decide to send Xue Rengui to serve as the protector of Anxi?"

"Xue Rengui went to the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate to take office"

When Wu Mei heard the emperor say this, her originally calm and breezy face changed

He got serious, pulled his snow-white feet out of the stream, put on his socks quietly, and put on his shoes.

Only then did he say to Li Zhi, "Yunchu went to the Western Regions, Pei Xingjian went to Anxi, Xue Rengui went to Beiting, Guo Zhifeng went to Anton, and now ......

Li Zhi said impatiently, "Send out all the people who should be sent out, so that it seems that there is no one around me, so that those rebellious ministers and thieves can take the opportunity to launch."

Wu Mei hurriedly said, "Your Majesty must not be vindictive."

Li Zhi looked down at Wu Mei and said, "They're gone, isn't there still a queen by my side?"

Wu Mei raised her head suddenly, looked at the emperor in astonishment, and said, "How can this be, it's too dangerous."

Li Zhi put his hands in the sleeves of his robe, looked at the mountains and said, "I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and to deal with a criminal minister, it is enough to send a prison officer, this is the emperor's style."

Wu Mei looked at the emperor noncommittally, for the first time, she felt that the emperor might be too big, she didn't believe that the eldest grandson would bow down and be captured, let alone that Guan Longxun would stand by and watch the affairs of the eldest grandson.

However, at this moment, the emperor looks very confident.

When Yun Chu received the emperor's will, it was already five days later.

The emperor allowed the two counties of Chang'an to organize the local people to go out of Yumen Pass to do business with the states in the extreme west, and also issued Yun Chu a gold medal that he could act cheaply after leaving Yumen Pass.

With this gold medal, Yun Chu was outside the Yumen Pass, and he would be able to act according to his own ideas.

However, as a restriction, five people from the Hundred Cavalry Division must join this westward caravan, and they must also be appointed as Yun Chu and Gentle's personal bodyguards.

These things were all expected, and the emperor did not let the people of the Hundred Cavalry Division become the nominal leaders of the caravan, which was already a rare trust and favor for Yun Chu.

When Zhang Donghai, the captain of the Hundred Cavalry Division, saw Yun Chu, he was so ashamed that he couldn't even raise his head.

Yun Chu acted very indifferent, just a pity for Zhang Donghai, a good captain has now become a captain of the Hundred Cavalry Division, which is really not a good thing.

Judging from the future of the two, the commander of the Zhichong Commander, who controls the soldiers of a place, as long as he does not have the heart of rebellion, is definitely a career with a bright future.

As long as he goes one step further in the position of lieutenant of Zhichong, he is the official general of the Sixteen Guards of the Tang Dynasty, and if he does a good job in the position of general, he will be able to rank among the bigwigs of the Tang Dynasty military in the future.

The captain of the Hundred Cavalry Division has a lot of power, far exceeding the commander of the Zhichong Commander, and he can be regarded as the emperor's most trusted person, but in the eyes of the hundred officials, these people are just royal servants, eagle dogs, and they are incompatible with the hundred officials.

No matter how rich and powerful they are, they are not as good as these legitimate officials.

The five captains of the Hundred Cavalry Division who came were led by Zhang Donghai, which was a good thing for Yun Chu.

"It's a pity that Wang Defa didn't come, if he did, our men and horses would be complete."

Yun Chu smiled and threw Zhang Donghai a bottle of wine.

Zhang Donghai was ashamed when he saw that Yun Chu treated him as usual, "It was Zhang Donghai's honor to fight side by side with the general in Liaodong in the past."

Yun Chu took a sip of wine and said, "In Liaodong, everything goes smoothly, this is indispensable to your kind words in front of Your Majesty, since you are doing this errand, you naturally have the obligation to keep it secret, why do you feel embarrassed, there is no need for this."

Speaking of which, we are ministers in the same hall, but the division of labor is a little different.

It's better if you come, we will still train into an army this time, and I have also applied for a lot of gunpowder shells, and you have to train these rabble into a disciplined army before we set off.

Just like Your Majesty allowed me to act cheaply when I leave the Yumen Pass, you can also act cheaply when you are training your army."

Zhang Donghai listened to Yun Chu's arrangement, a heart that was originally a little ashamed, and then he really settled down, the general's trust in him was as always, and he also handed over the important task of organizing and training the army to him, obviously, after leaving the fortress, his main task was still unification

Lead the army.

Yun Chu was very busy, so he arranged Zhang Donghai's errand in a few words, and then began to discuss the types of goods with the army with Master Wan.

In view of Yun Chu's understanding of the people of the Western Regions, this time out of the caravan, he would only lead a small part of silk, paper, and a small amount of semi-porcelain with three-color glaze from the Tang Dynasty.

These good things are used when exchanging with customers such as local kings and patriarchs in the Western Regions.

Yun Chu went to the Western Regions this time, but the main development was the vast number of ordinary herdsmen, a huge market that no one had ever developed.

Silk, paper, books, pen and ink, porcelain, nothing to do with ordinary herdsmen.

What they needed were iron pots, teapots, milk jugs, wine jugs, knives for meat, shears for shearing sheep, awls for sewing cowhides and sheepskins, needles and threads, iron skewers to hold the tents in place, axes and saws, paint to be applied to the dead, and tea to help them increase their vitamins.

Tea in the pastoral areas of the Western Regions has never been used to relieve greasy, because most herdsmen have no need to relieve greasy at all, even if they are herding sheep, there are not many opportunities to eat beef and mutton all year round.

It's like silkworm farmers can't afford to buy silk.

With Wannian County, after the people of the two counties of Chang'an County began to mobilize, there were more people who were bent on following the county to the Western Regions to get money.

Based on the precedent of following the county zun to make a fortune in Liaodong last time, in just three days, Yunchu received a list of tens of thousands of people.

Zuo Wuwei's entire army was only 12,000 people, and Yun Chu naturally couldn't go to the Western Regions with such a large army, otherwise this would not be doing business, but going to the Western Regions to carry out an organized and purposeful collective robbery.

Three thousand, this is a number obtained by Yun Chu and Wen Rou, Di Renjie after careful measurement, and then counting the thousand people who traveled with the caravan, it is a good choice to control the number of people out of the fortress at about four thousand.

Zhang Donghai, as the commander of the training army, after completing the training of 3,000 people from among the tens of thousands, he was shocked to find that in front of his eyes, a well-equipped and powerful army that did not need training at all.

In the first chapter, let's look at the small chapters.
