Yun Chu came to Yumen Pass, he was not in a good mood, Gentle was a person who didn't know whether to live or die, and he was full of curiosity about the desert outside Yumen Pass.

"Can you make a poem?"

Gently through the city gate cave of the black hole in Yumen Pass, looking at the boundless Gobi outside, I wanted to make a poem, and when I saw Yun Chu standing in front, I begged Yun Chu to write a poem to mobilize everyone for this westward journey.

I didn't see any emotions brewing at the beginning of the clouds, so I recited bluntly, "The yellow sand is far above the white clouds, a lonely city and ten thousand mountains, why should the Qiang Di complain about the willows, and the spring breeze does not pass the Yumen Pass."

For Yun Chu's ability to make famous behaviors anytime and anywhere, Gentleness was no longer surprised, and sat on the horse and recorded it casually, and finally asked Yun Chu "What's your name"

Yun Chu's indifferent Dao "Liangzhou Words"

Gentleness wrote down the name of the poet and the cause and effect of the poem in the book, and the reason for writing.

After the transcription was completed, he handed the book to the county magistrate of Jiuquan County, who had come to see him off, and said, "Let the prostitutes sing all the way to Chang'an."

Jiuquan County Commander bowed down to receive the order, he was a small county magistrate from the eighth grade, and there was no room for refusal in front of Yun Chu and Gentleness.

"The last time I entered the Yumen Pass, I ate a delicious cake here, and that meal made me extremely happy to eat, and it also woke up my stomach that belonged to the Tang people in an instant."

The Jiuquan County Commander bowed down and said, "Now there is no one selling retort cakes in Yumen Pass, and it has been replaced by a company that sells noodles, and it tastes bad."

Yun Chu said with a smile, "Since the Cheng family left Yumen Pass, the kind of rice produced from the Cheng family, the dates from the Li family, and the dried fruits from the Wei Chi family have naturally not been seen

Now that someone from the Li royal family is coming to be the guard of the Yumen Gate, it is natural to replace the retort cake with the noodles related to his Li royal family

It's just human nature, but I don't know if the price of the cake is expensive, or the price of this noodles is expensive?"

The county commander looked left and right, and said in a low voice, "The noodles are fifty percent more expensive than the cake, and the border troops in the Western Regions are complaining one by one."

Yun Chu sighed and said, "I spent 500 gold on a meal of retort cake back then, and it seems that I can get 800 gold for a meal of noodles."

Gently puzzled, he said, "Taxes?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "If I paid taxes at that time, it should be more than twice as much, and the Yumen Governor's Mansion would make a fortune from this."

Speaking of this, Yun Chu looked left and right again, and said dissatisfiedly, "Are all the people in the Yumen Governor's Mansion dead? I didn't even have a farewell person, so write it down for me, and when we return to Chang'an, we will take care of it."

Jiuquan County Commander whispered, "It's the Longxi royal family"

Yun Chu smiled and said, "Your Majesty has almost killed several of the heads of the Longxi Imperial Family, don't they know how to converge?"

said gently and disdainfully, "In a remote place like Yumen, you can still take it out to scare and scare people."

Seeing the warm sun rising over the horizon, Yun Chu waved his hand and said, "Don't wait, let's go out!"

With Yun Chu's order, the scouts acting as the veterans of the Western Regions who took the lead took the lead and rushed out of the city on horseback.

In Yun Chu's memory, there was originally a large temporary town composed of merchants waiting to enter the city gate outside the Yumen Pass, but at this time, there was no trace, and only some rocks and some ruins could be seen.

Occasionally, some camel caravans from the Western Regions lay silently in these ruins, and only the leader stood at the forefront tremblingly, waiting for an unknowable fate to come.

"Welcome to the Tang Dynasty," Yun Chu waved at the old leader.

The old leader stroked his chest and saluted, and said in reply, "Honorable lord, it is the supreme honor of the old Harpy to receive your blessing."

Yun Chu also replied in a replying voice, "In distant Chang'an, there are countless people waiting for your goods, and I believe that you will sell your goods there at a good price."

Old Harpy saluted again, "You are a noble man, and your words must be very credible, but even if a bird has wings, it cannot fly this majestic city."

Yun Chu smiled and said, "That door is open, you don't need to grow wings to enter and exit freely."

Old Harpy glanced at the Yumen Pass in front of him, shook his head, and said, "They want more than half of my goods as an entrance fee."

Yun Chu smiled, "You can go to the door and find a stall that sells food, you don't need to pay so much there."

After Yun Chu finished speaking, he waved his hand and parted with this caravan.

Gentle frowned and said, "You're teaching them to evade taxes?"

Yun Chu said, "It's just that the tax that has been missed is enough that someone will take action to clean up this group of moths."

Wen Rou thought for a moment and said, "What if people are very modest?"

Yun Chu looked at him strangely and said gently, "How many moths have you and Di Renjie dealt with over the years, have you ever seen a measured moth?"

As soon as they start to be greedy, they become gluttonous, and their desires are insatiable, and they will only become more and more greedy, and there may be some moderation there

Once they become addicted to corruption, they will only be too little, and where there will be too much

Don't worry, even if the court doesn't take action, we will find a way to get rid of these moths when we come back."

Smiled gently, "I see, the reason why they have to charge a high entry tax is to increase the price of those noodles, right?"

Yun Chu sighed and said, "It's just normal operation."

Gently looked back at the old Hu merchant who had not yet left, and said to Yun Chu, "We are looking forward to Chang'an, and more Hu merchants can come to Chang'an from the Western Regions and even from the west to do business

Unexpectedly, the Yumen Pass side was doing its best to prevent Hu Shang from entering the customs, everyone regarded Hu Shang as a piece of fat that could be devoured unscrupulously, but they didn't know that with the existence of these Hu merchants, the people of Chang'an City would be able to produce more goods and sell them to distant places, so that more people could eat enough.

You can also get the best products of the Western Regions

Following you over the years, I have discovered that the most important thing in the transaction between Datang and the Hu people is not to make money, but to return to the essence of businessmen, that is, to communicate with each other

There are more types of food, more materials to make clothes, more medicines, more tools, and in short, as long as we continue to trade, we will eventually achieve a goal and give everyone more choices

As long as we have more things, we can create a lot of things that have never been there before, and open a window for us to see the scenery that we couldn't see before, the sounds we couldn't hear, and the tastes that we couldn't taste

And the emergence of every new thing can greatly improve our current life, as long as there are enough new things, Chang'an City will become the Chang'an City you hope for sooner or later."

Yun Chu stared at the gentle eyes for a long time, and when he looked a little uncomfortable with the gentleness, Yun Chu said, "Have I ever praised you before, saying that you are a really smart person?"

Wen Rou thought for a while and shook his head and said, "No, never."

Yun Chu nodded, and said to Gentle Gentleness seriously, "You are a truly intelligent person, with a pair of eyes that can see through the intuitive nature of the mist

You are not wrong at all, but another way of saying great material abundance is the great convenience and abundance of life

Once the great material abundance is achieved, people's requirements for food, clothing, shelter and transportation will be greatly satisfied

Only after jumping out of the basic requirements of life, such as food, clothing, shelter and transportation, can we Tang have the time and energy to think about some problems that we have never thought about before, and to explore things that we were unable to explore before."

Gentleness was not blinded by Yun Chu's words covered by the clouds and mountains, and then asked, "For example?"

Yun Chu picked up the horse lance on the ground, and a pebble flew up, which was firmly held in Yun Chu's hand and said to Gentle, "What is this stone made of?"

Gently puzzled, he said, "Is it a stone?"

Yun Chu smiled and said, "Why can someone refine gold from stone, some silver, and some copper and iron?"

"That's because there's gold, and silver, and brass and iron in the stones."

Yun Chu said again, "What else is in the stone that has refined these things?"

"If it's gone, there's only a stone left."

Yun Chu sighed and said, "How do you know, have you ever done such an experiment? Or do you know it yourself?

So, do you know how many years ago this stone was formed? Do you know where this stone originally came from?"

Gentleness looked at Yun Chu like a fool, he didn't understand, just a stone, why should he know his age and hometown.

Yun Chu looked at the gentle face and shook his head and said, "I take back those words that I just praised you, you are just a half-smart."

Gently gritted her teeth, "I mean I'm just a half-fool, right? Are you just a whole smart man?"

Yun Chu nodded and said, "What you said is very correct, I am indeed one of the few truly smart people in Datang."

"Why do you think that?"

"Just because I made a famous article like "Liangzhou Ci" two hours ago without thinking, and you, you can't write it by searching for dry intestines

In view of this, I am smarter than you, do I need any other proof?

And poetry, in front of me, is nothing but little Doyle."

Hearing this, she only felt that there was a cloud of lava running under her skin in her chest, and once the lava erupted, it would burn all the weeds, trees, and clouds, and lock them firmly in the ashes of the lava, living with heaven and earth......

Leaving Yumen Pass, Yun Chu didn't look at the direction of the sun, this time, he was going to take the direction of Gaochang, and in that place, there was an old friend waiting for him.

The former Qiuzi Daguan Ling Fangzheng has now become the second person under the command of Xizhou Thorn Shi - Xizhou Don't Drive.

This is the official position of a six-grade official, and during the ten years, this eight-rank Qiuzi Daguan order, relying on his enough Shangguan brother-in-law, finally became a majestic and majestic from the sixth grade of the Tang Dynasty - Xizhou Don't drive!

This is very, very rare, it can be called a rising officialdom star in the land of the Western Regions, and I hope that in the next ten years, I will covet the noble five-grade high-ranking official of Xizhou Thorn History.

If this dream is realized, Founder can return to his hometown, and then through the operation of Si Nongqing's brother-in-law, he can be a master bookkeeper in Chang'an County or Wannian County!

This is the highest expectation that the Founder family has for him, and it is also the highest goal he can achieve in this life.
