Lu Weimang listened to Huo Jing's words, thought about it carefully, and looked up at the young general again. Although he was too young compared to most important court officials like the Marquis of Qin, he was noble and deeply respected by the emperor. Whether it's ability, identity, or vision, it's one of the best in Kyoto. Otherwise, the emperor would not have let him go out as a young man to lead the troops to fight, and he would not have handed over the answer sheet that left the people of Kyoto speechless.

Huo Jing saw that Lu Weimang's eyes changed from suspicious to firm, and he also looked at her for a moment.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and Lu Weimang took the lead in smiling, "My luck is really good." Since you said so, then I will tell you about my plan, and you can refer to it. With your help, it's really like God's help. ”

Next, Lu Weimang detailed the information and speculation he had checked these days.

"Qin Hou wants to change the dilemma of the empty treasury, in addition to the land and tax reforms he proposed, there is another way, that is, open source. Of course, it is not only open source within the territory of Daqian, but also directly open source to the outside world. ”

"Externally? The north is bitterly cold, and Youzhou is uninhabited for thousands of miles to the north, with the sea in the east and South Vietnam in the south. Wherever the army goes, the safety of open source can be guaranteed, but in turn, the treasury is empty, which leads to the inability of the imperial court to send troops, which is a dead knot. ”

Huo Jing frowned.

Lu Weimang shook his head, "The places you mentioned are indeed difficult, so I'm talking about the southwest." ”

"Southwest?"

Huo Jing frowned.

"In the land of the southwest moat, there is really no need for a large army to press the border. But where miasma is rampant and roads are impassable, how can it be open source? ”

Lu Weimang smiled mysteriously, "What you said is indeed difficult. But if there are enough benefits, none of this is a problem. ”

"I have checked some information in the household department in the past few days, and found that the two prefectures of Yizhou Shu County, Fan County and Jiangyuan Prefecture are also Kunze Mansion of Yizhou County, which is rich in tea, and this tea is also quite famous in Kyoto. This shows that although the roads are difficult, there are still some trade routes that come and go. And today, I walked around the southern city and tax street, and found that most of the BMW in Kyoto Mashi are also from Shu County and Wudu County in Yizhou County. In addition, in the past year, some novel gemstones have appeared in Beijing, such as turquoise, and they have gradually become popular. This all shows that although Yishu County is a bitter cold exile place in the eyes of Kyoto people, its economy is definitely not weak. What does it mean that such a bitter and remote place, but with a rich economy and many treasures, such as precious medicines, BMWs, gold, precious stones, and many other good things? It shows that there is a small and large trade route that is profitable. Moreover, it is precisely because the road in Yizhou is difficult to navigate, as long as the big cadres can control this trade route in their hands, whether it is a direct takeover or a tax collection, the annual income can be much more than the salt tax. ”

When Lu Weimang talked about what he was good at, he and Huo Jing didn't have the usual uncomfortable feeling, and began to talk eloquently, looking like he was holding a wisdom bead, his eyes were shining, and his eyes were firm, which made people unable to take their eyes off.

After Lu Weimang finished speaking, he looked at Huo Jing, but saw that Huo Jing seemed to shake his head, and then said, "You have a plan in your heart, so how do you plan me to help you?" ”

Lu Weimang smiled a little embarrassed on her face, she was going to contact the horse seller, and the shopkeeper Yu, knocking on the side to find out the way they bought the goods, and then slowly figured it out, but now Huo Jing appeared and hugged the thick thighs, of course, she didn't have to be so careful, she could attack with a straight ball, all for the sake of the big guys, maybe those businessmen would be grateful to Lu Weimang for giving them this opportunity.

"Your soldiers and horses are not very far from Yizhou, can you send troops to visit this trade route? As long as the route is figured out, whether it is a merchant or a customs collection in the future, the income of the imperial court can be greatly enhanced. On the other hand, I have two clues about the trade route that I can give to you, and you can find out and confirm it in pairs, and I believe that this plan can be better implemented. ”

Huo Jing was a little silent when he heard this, and waited for a while before he said, "There are too few talents in the DPRK and China who are good at business. If this trade route is in the hands of the imperial court, you will be sent over to preside over the overall situation. After all, the name of your wealth is the first choice in the eyes of the Holy One. Of course, it's good to be on the rise, but Yizhou is bitterly cold, and it is difficult to overcome the difficulty of walking alone, and you may not be able to endure those hardships. ”

Lu Weimang waved his hand again and again when he heard this, "I may not have made it clear, this trade route does not need talent at all, and it is enough to ensure your safety by force, because this trade route is a monopoly business, and you don't need to use your brains." ”

Huo Jing looked at Lu Weimang with some doubts.

Lu Weimang hurriedly explained, "The Qiang people next to Yizhou, because of the cold weather on the plateau, can only eat meat to keep out the cold. But its fishy meat is not a tea; The heat of barley is not incomprehensible to tea, but tea is regarded as a "daily indispensable" survival necessity. However, the plateau area where the Qiang people live does not produce tea. You think, the trade route there is difficult, once the great cadres master this trade route, then the trade with the Qiang people, isn't it just how we say it is? ”

When Huo Jing heard this, his eyes became brighter and brighter.

Lu Weimang continued, "Of course, we can't force it too hard, it's better to unify the pricing." Use the Qiang specialties in exchange for their life-saving tea. For example, the treasure medicine of the Qiang nationality is worth a thousand gold in Kyoto, as well as BMW, gold, and precious stones, which are all hot-selling products in Kyoto. To tell the truth, although the treasury was empty, there was no shortage of gold and silver in the treasury of the high-ranking dignitaries who followed the emperor to war. There are also Jiangnan big businessmen, they are not short of money. Isn't it very good to use the good things of the Qiang people and take out the gold and silver that they put in the silver treasury to give birth to insects? Moreover, in order to speed up this progress, His Majesty and the Marquis of Qin can be allowed to publicize one or two in Kyoto, for example, Your Majesty is unwell and has obtained the Qiang treasure medicine, and the medicine will cure the disease. In that way, the treasure medicine of the Qiang nationality, which is already worth thousands of gold, will definitely be expensive in Luoyang for a while. Not to mention the BMW and gold and silver, there are also Qiang gems, which can be worn by the queen and show up at the banquet, so that there is no need to say anything at all, these noble ladies and ladies in Beijing can buy all the Qiang gems. And these Qiang treasure medicine gems must be in their own hands at that time. At that time, His Majesty's treasury will be making money every day, and maybe he won't even be able to look down on a little salt tax. ”

Lu Weimang said it here, and Huo Jing's eyes became brighter and brighter. After Lu Weimang finished speaking, he went to see Huo Jing again, and was almost burned by the brightness in his eyes.

"Are you buying jewelry today to pave the way for the future?"

Huo Jing asked suddenly.

Lu Weimang scratched his cheek with his fingers, "It's not all, women can't resist the temptation of gems." So, I bought some by the way. ”

Huo Jing smiled, "Do I need to reimburse you?" ”

Lu Weimang was dazed, "Huh? Isn't that okay? ”

Huo Jing leaned back in the chair, holding the table with both hands, looking like a big horse golden knife, as if he was suddenly in a good mood, "You think too much." It's not that I'll reimburse you, it's that after your plan is reported to Your Majesty, let Your Majesty reimburse you. Don't worry, although the treasury is empty, but Your Majesty has been fighting for many years, and there are still some good things in the private treasury, what egg-sized night pearls, east pearls, corals and the like, are all good things that are paid tribute from all over the world. Tomorrow I will take you to explain this plan to His Majesty in person, and by the way, I will ask you for some good things, and I will not let you contribute and pay for nothing. ”

Lu Weimang nodded hesitantly, "Then please General Huo?" ”

"Okay, with all that said, are you hungry?" Huo Jing said something, clapped his hands, and outside the door, Ding Yi and Lin Chen entered with Xiao Eryuguan and put the dishes on the table.

Lu Weimang was a little strange just now, why was the food served so slowly today, it seemed that he was stopped by Ding Yi and Lin Chen who were guarding the door.

Lu Weimang was a little sour again. When will the generals of the Lu family have this ability and this heart?

Seeing that Lin Chen and Ding Yi were about to leave after serving the food, Lu Weimang hurriedly stopped, "Lin Chen, Ding Yi, sit down and eat together, there are a lot of dishes, I'm afraid the two of us won't be able to finish eating." ”

Ding Yi didn't move, Lin Chen glanced at his master, and then looked at Lu Weimang, "Miss Lu, you're welcome." Our brothers are going to eat now, you and the master can enjoy it. ”

After speaking, the two of them retired, went out of the room, and closed the door carefully.

Lu Weimang looked at Huo Jing, Huo Jing picked up the chopsticks, "Eat quickly, I originally wanted to take you to dinner, but now it's almost supper." ”

After Huo Jing finished speaking, he sandwiched some dishes for Lu Weimang and ate them by himself.

The etiquette is standardized, and the movements are gentle, but the speed of eating seems to be quite fast?

Lu Weimang saw Huo Jing start eating, and he also picked up the bowl and began to eat. She was really hungry.

For a while, neither of them spoke again, both of them ate with one chopstick, and I ate with one chopstick.

Lu Weimang seems to understand a little why some people like to invite people to dinner when they have relationships. Everyone ate as if there was no distance all of a sudden.

For a meal, Lu Weimang originally said that he couldn't finish it, but Huo Jing's appetite was unexpectedly big, not to mention Lu Weimang himself. Her stomach is open to eating, and it is a bottomless pit.

There is no way, her innate divine power consumes her body all the time, so Lu Weimang is the envy of countless girls. Not only do you not eat fat, but if you eat less, people will be haggard immediately. Father Lu once ridiculed Lu Weimang, saying that his own money, raising Lu Weimang's daughter, can only be full of coarse tea and light rice, and if you want to eat some good food, you have to pick a New Year's holiday, and you can't afford it.

Fortunately, she can make money on her own, not only to support herself. I can also raise a family.

After eating, the two rode slowly, sending Lu Weimang home while digesting, followed by the solemn and quiet black armor guard.

Lu Weimang was a little uncomfortable, "General Huo, in fact, I'll just go back by myself." ”

Huo Jing looked at it indifferently, and Lu Weimang immediately straightened up, "Then I'll trouble you." ”
