Chapter 203: The Last Retention

When the Tang army was invincible, Datang had a group of people who were not afraid of taking risks at all, and they had no fear of going out to fight, but would go with countless beautiful dreams.

The ones who were chosen were smiling happily, even if they needed to prepare their own horses, armor, weapons, and dry food, they had to go.

When the army assembled, there was no cry resounding through the tragedy of Xianyang Bridge, only the generosity of coming back after making a fortune and inviting you to drink.

After Yun Chu saw this scene, his first thought was that this kind of event would be held once a year in the future.

It is even necessary to prepare two such teams all year round, and the best situation is that one is in the Western Regions and the other is in Chang'an.

After the caravan from Chang'an arrived in the Western Regions, the caravan from the Western Regions just returned to Chang'an with the collected goods from the Western Regions.

In this way, in less than ten years, even if you step on it with both feet, you can step on a brilliant Silk Road.

This time, not only the people wanted to go, but all the famous businesses in Chang'an City also responded and were willing to join this long-distance business.

For the merchants, with the protection of 3,000 Datang iron horses, this is a big deal that is sure to make money and not lose money.

In particular, those merchants who often do business with the people of the Western Regions understand that if an unknown small country is discovered in the process of trade, everyone may be able to launch a war to destroy the country.

Many times, doing business in the Western Regions is basically the same as robbery, especially this time the county Zun also brought so many government soldiers with him, almost the same number of people who went to Liaodong last time.

This planted the wrong impression in everyone's hearts that the county lord wanted to take everyone to the Western Regions to rob and make a fortune.

In this way, he really wronged Yun Chu, his original intention was not to rob, but really planned to do a little business with the people of the Western Regions, so that the trade route would change from chaotic and disorderly to orderly and regular.

How many times can you rob a robbery? With more wolves and less meat, it is easy to rob the Western Regions into a barren land.

"Do you really have to travel 12,000 miles to the west of Shattered Leaf City this time?"

Li Ji leaned on a huge woolen soft pillow, holding a white jade Ruyi in his hand, and asked casually while scratching his back with white jade Ruyi.

"There is still a batch of treasures to be brought out of the Sassanid country, and it is estimated that there will be a trip to the Great Food Country."

In front of Li Ji, Yun Chu did not hide it, and made the purpose of this westward trip clear.

Although the old guy doesn't seem to care about anything now, he can see his shadow in all the major events that have happened in Chang'an City in the past two years.

There were no talents in their family, and the only eldest grandson looked more like a disaster star than a talent, so the old guy put on an attitude of not caring about anything after retirement.

Now, his catastrophic grandson is about to become the king of Tuyuhun in Tuyuhun, although Tuyuhun is a vassal of Datang, what Xu Jingye does there, as long as it does not harm the interests of Datang, Datang is not very willing to pay attention to him.

The traitor's grandson has really become a robber now, and he has also made a foundation for the boss, and Li Ji, an old guy's heart that is about to die, is slowly coming to life.

"You wouldn't be on the way to the Western Regions and suddenly turn a corner and kill Xu Jingye, right?"

Yun Chu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Ying Gong, my caravan will not pass through Biandukou, and it will not go to Tuyuhun."

Li Ji sighed and said, "The old man impeached you, saying that you privately organized and trained the soldiers of the government for your own use, and the number of people far exceeded the authority of a county order for you.

"Your Majesty's trust in you is envied even by the old man."

Yun Chu smiled and said, "This is all the blessing of the younger generation for many years of loyalty to the country."

Li Ji said with a smile, "The old man has been loyal to the country for decades, and there is no such treatment as you, you are not worthy of being loyal in front of the old man, but the old man impeached you this time, not because you trained the army to go to the Western Regions, but because you made such a big scene, but did not bring any of the nobles of the Manchu Dynasty?"

Yun Chu said unceremoniously, "The nobles have already eaten with fat brains, so let's eat it again."

It has become a waste of 10,000 catties of cattle and 1,000 catties of pigs, and if you don't take them this time, you are helping them, so as not to eat too much fat, which will lead to early knives."

It's a pity that my love for them has been thought of as having ulterior motives, and I really don't know the hearts of good people."

Li Ji shook the white jade in his hand and said, "With those poor people, will it be beneficial to Datang?"

Yun Chu nodded and said, "In a dynasty, the most taboo thing is that the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer, which is often the source of turmoil.

Therefore, within a country, there are many rich and poor people, which is not good, and the best situation is that the more people who are not poor or rich, the better.

Because the government soldiers and rent-to-rent personnel are all from these people who are neither poor nor rich, speaking of which, they are the most useful people in the country.

If the younger generation brings 4,000 people this time, then when they come back, there will be 4,000 people who are not poor or rich, and if they go every year in the future, then thousands of people who are not poor and not rich will come out every year.

In this way, there are more soldiers in the government and more people who pay rent and commissions, and Datang will naturally be able to continue to be strong."

Li Ji stared at Yun Chu for a while, then leaned back on the soft pillow and sighed, "Now even a yellow-mouthed son like you dares to make a big statement in front of the old man, it can be seen that the old man is really old and can't kill anyone."

Yun Chu looked at Li Ji and said, "Young people are in lust, middle-aged people are angry, old people are greedy, in addition, how many powerful and rich people have a good end?"

Li Ji laughed and said, "What you said makes sense, but it's a pity that the old man just didn't listen, and now I have something to discuss with you."

As Li Ji said this, the warblers and swallows standing around retreated like a tide.

Yun Chu looked at his back generously, and had to admire, Li Ji's requirements were really high. 100\./degree\./search\./so\.7\./4\./text\./learning\./net\./first\./send

When there were only the two of them left in the house, Li Ji dropped the white jade Ruyi and said, "Help me send a batch of gunpowder to Xu Jingye."

Yun Chu stared at Li Ji's eagle-like eyes for a long time, and then slowly shook his head and said, "This can't be done."

Li Jidao said, "Supporting Xu Jingye to gain a foothold in Tuyuhun also has your share, these old men have carried a lot of black pots for you, is it also your turn to carry a black pot for the old man?"

Yun Chu continued to shake his head and said, "This pot can't be carried, once it is carried, the head will fall to the ground."

Li Ji nodded expressionlessly and said, "That's right, since you are unwilling to carry the black pot for the old man, then you are definitely not willing to carry the black pot for the eldest grandson Wuji, what the old man wants is this promise."

Yun Chu looked at Li Ji and said, "Don't let me find out that Xu Jingye has gunpowder in his hands, otherwise I will be the first to ask His Majesty for an order and kill him."

Li Ji waved his hand at Yun Chu and said, "Go, go, a hundred catties of body, two hundred catties of backbone, since you want to go all the way to the dark, it will depend on your personal creation in the future."

Yun Chu walked around the hall twice with his hands behind his back and then said in a low voice: "The Shendu has been built almost in a short time, you will all follow Your Majesty to move the capital to the Shendu, and you will be from Luoyang in the future, what does your affairs have to do with me, a Chang'an person?"

After speaking, Yun Chu left the living room of Li Ji's house, and when he passed by the corridor, there were many people standing there, many people Yun Chu knew, all of them were veterans in the previous army, and here Yun Chu even saw Qi Bi He Li, this veteran stood alone in the corner like a minion.

The glory of the Zhenguan period has faded from their bodies, and now all that remains is a strong atmosphere of old age.

Yun Chu had already walked away, but after thinking about it, he turned back and came to Liang Jianfang, who was in a wheelchair, and said, "Let's see off my left foot, I am free these days, and I can personally operate on you."

Liang Jianfang raised the wine jug in his hand and said, "The parents who have suffered from the skin on the body dare not destroy it."

Yun Chu said, "I remember that you have at least a pound of flesh missing from your left leg, I heard that it was torn off by someone's gilt boring when you fought with Dou Jiande back then, does it count as if you injured your body?"

Your left leg itself is weak, and if you don't know how to stop drinking, your whole body will fester, and you will die in agony in wailing."

Liang Jianfang laughed and said, "It's okay, the old man has been injured in hundreds of places in his life, and he has long been used to it."

Yun Chu sneered, "Don't be stubborn, once gout attacks, even if you are an iron man, you will cry."

Liang Jianfang shook his head and said, "Even if you want to saw your legs, I don't work for you, I'm worried that you will cut off my right leg."

After listening to Liang Jianfang's words, Yun Chu spread his hands and expressed regret, and then left the Ying Mansion quickly.

Yun Chu left, and everyone poured into Li Ji's room again, and Cheng Yanjin said in a low voice, "It doesn't make sense, right?"

Li Ji nodded and said to Su Dingfang, "You can't let go of the military power."

Su Dingfang sighed and said, "The fighter plane is no more, and forcibly transporting troops is a dead end after all."

Li Jidao "The eldest grandson Wuji is finished, he has always been close to the eldest grandson and the prince Xima Wei Ji Fang, supervising the imperial history Li Chao to form a party for personal gain, and now he has been imprisoned, His Majesty handed over the power to interrogate these two people to Xu Jingzong, the old man thinks that this is definitely not an ordinary interrogation, if the old man is not bad, this should be the first brick and stone of His Majesty to pry the mansion of the Guanlong family"

Cheng Biting Jin said, "After all, they are intimate nephews and uncles, and the eldest grandson Wuji can be said to have put the emperor on the throne, so he can also do it?"

Li Ji sneered and said, "When Emperor Wen of Han killed his only uncle Bo Zhao, he had a half soft-heartedness, even if he killed his own uncle, Emperor Wen of Han was not a hundred years old, and his name was not affected in the slightest."

Su Dingfang flicked his sleeves irritably and said, "Fourteen of the sixteen guards originally thought that the emperor would serve his death, and more than ninety percent of the captains of the Zhichong Mansion in the world have received the emperor's favor, and the manpower we can use is extremely limited, so let's be careful to live one by one from now on."

After speaking, he threw up his sleeves and left the British mansion.

See you tomorrow, today is my wife's birthday, and the old husband and wife also need a sense of ceremony
