Chapter 804: Nanzhao's Money

The guard general didn't ask any more, judging from the paperwork, this person was the real King of Nanzhao.

As for why this King of Nanzhao is so virtuous, the guard general doesn't want to ask more.

The guard's eyes looked at the convoy at the back of the procession, and people came forward to check that the truckload was all some tea, walnuts, cloth, plums, and wine.

King Nanzhao said with a smile: "This general, these are all tributes to the Heavenly Khan, and they are all specialties of Nanzhao, and there is no one in Guanzhong." ”

The guard general was also conscientious, and after confirming it, he felt that the king of Nanzhao was very poor, so he took these things to pay tribute to the Heavenly Khan, and the envoys of other countries gave them all treasures.

The officers and soldiers present were disgusted by this group of Nanzhao envoys, and it was clear that the Nanzhao King's own belt was made of gold, so he sent something so inconspicuous.

It was very cold in Guanzhong, which had just entered winter, and the northwest wind blew the sound of hunting clothes.

After confirming that there were no sword soldiers, the guards also let them go.

After eating, why bother to take people into Hangu Pass.

In the summer of this year, the newly appointed King Nanzhao said that he would come to the Tang Dynasty to congratulate him.

Now that Guanzhong has just entered winter, this king of Nanzhao has come as promised.

This king of Nanzhao was very generous, and when he arrived at a wine shop, he invited many rangers and peddlers to eat and drink, as if he was going to scatter his family wealth.

Li Dewu, who had just gone to serve as the chief of Jiannan Province, learned that King Nanzhao was coming, so he followed him all the way.

Why bother looking at this long history and said curiously: "You are a local long history, so you followed a certain family all the way to Hangu Pass, don't you want to go back?" ”

Li Dewu took a sip of wine, "I have wine and meat to eat with you, why don't you follow." ”

"Who sent you to follow me?"

"King Nanzhao said with a smile, and the lower officials went to Chang'an City to report on their work."

Why bother snorting coldly, this person has been following him since Jiannan Dao, and it is difficult to write a letter to Lishan now.

After that, why bother pouring another sip of wine, "You were sent by Fang Xuanling?" ”

The other party did not speak.

Why bother to say again: "It was sent by the eldest grandson Wuji?" ”

Li Dewu shook his head again.

Seeing that this guy is still reluctant to say, why sigh: "How has Guanzhong been recently?" ”

Li Dewu replied: "The lower officials left Chang'an City in the autumn, but at that time I heard that Fan Yang was very fierce, and later learned that His Majesty sent troops from the Hexi Corridor. ”

Why bother wondering: "That's all?" ”

Li Dewu said again: "What about you? Who are you, and why did you become the current king of Nanzhao? ”

Why bother laughing loudly and not answering immediately.

The shopkeeper walked briskly, "The guest rooms are ready." ”

"Hmm."

Why stand up and take your own people to rest.

Li Dewu wrote a letter, and now it seems that this King of Nanzhao is nothing special.

The matter of Nanzhao has changed from the beginning of the bandits to the throne of the old Nanzhao King, so many things have happened in two years.

The other party is a Guanzhong person, an authentic Guanzhong person, and he has the habit of speaking and talking.

After writing these down, let people send them to the mansion of Zhao Guogong in Chang'an City, and Li Dewu fell asleep after doing this.

The next morning, it was only a three-day journey from Hanguguan to Chang'an.

After entering Guanzhong, why bother to feel that his breathing was much smoother, and the whole person was relaxed.

In addition to being a companion, Li Dewu can also serve as a guide.

"Now Guanzhong has changed a lot, and there is Lishan in front of it, and the power of Lishan has become bigger and bigger recently."

"It turns out that there is Lishan." Why bother nodding his head, looking at the long dragon-like convoy behind him, he said again: "It's better to camp by the Weishui River in Lishan and go to Chang'an City tomorrow." ”

Hearing this, Li Dewu, who was riding on horseback, frowned and said, "King Nanzhao, two more hours will be Chang'an City, and it is better to go to the city to rest." ”

Why bother waving his hand and said: "Just camp here, it's going to be night, and we won't go at night with such valuable goods." ”

Li Dewu looked at the convoy behind him again, and sighed discouragedly, "Xiaguan hopes that King Nanzhao can enter Chang'an City as soon as possible." ”

"The goods are too valuable, what should I do if someone robs them?"

"Guanzhong governance is not like your Nanzhao, there will be no robbers."

Li Dewu wanted to explain, but found that King Nanzhao had already dismounted from the carriage and arranged for his men to be stationed here.

It is only three miles away from Lishan, and when he saw the soldiers and horses outside Lishan Village, why did he frown and asked: "This is the Zhichong Mansion of the Tang Dynasty?" ”

Li Dewu shook his head and said, "But it's not Zhichong Mansion, it's just to guard Lishan." ”

"I see." Why smile heartily.

"King Nanzhao still doesn't want to get close to Lishan, now it is an important place in the court, and idle people can't get close."

As soon as the words fell, why did he point to the distance and said, "Are those two also idle people?" ”

"That's ......" Li Dewu saw that it was General Li Jing, and was busy explaining, and saw that King Nanzhao had already run up.

scolded the unruly King Nanzhao in his heart, and Li Dewu had no choice but to follow.

When he got closer, Li Dewu hurriedly explained: "General, this is the king of Nanzhao, and the subordinate officials have been derelict in their duties and offended Lishan. ”

"It doesn't matter."

Li Jing smiled and waved his hand, his eyes had already fallen on King Nanzhao.

Zhang Yang's eyes also fell on He Bi, he looked more sloppy after many years, where did he learn such an exaggerated outfit as a goldsmith?

Why bother with a relieved smile, the two have no words in a tacit understanding.

Zhang Yang looked at the sky that was about to fall into the night, and said in a low voice: "It's about to snow this day, right?" ”

Li Dewu saluted again, "I've seen the Marquis of Lishan County." ”

Zhang Yang also saluted and said: "Dare to ask ...... face-to-face"

"Xiaguan Jiannan Dao Changshi, Li Dewu."

"Oh, I haven't heard of you."

Zhang Yang responded with bland words.

Li Dewu kept his head down, he also felt that the gap between himself and the legendary county marquis was too big, and when the other party said this, he didn't have any temper at all.

"It turns out that you are the Marquis of Lishan County!" Why bother finally speaking.

"It turns out that you are the king of Nanzhao." Zhang Yang arched his hand and said: "Long admiration, long admiration." ”

He Bi had a smile on his face, and the smile was a little more meaningful: "It turns out that the county marquis has also heard of a certain family?" ”

"How can you not hear about it? You are in the wind and rain in King Nanzhao, and the gang in Chang'an City are heartbroken, and they can always hear some news. ”

Why bother to smile heartily again, "A certain family is in a good mood now, how about sitting down to eat?" Nanzhao's plum wine is very delicious. ”

Zhang Yang waved his hand and said, "No need." ”

Why bother to say again: "When I go to Chang'an City, I will sacrifice it to Tian Khan, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink it after that." ”

After hearing him, Zhang Yang turned his head to look at Li Jing, "General, do you want to drink some?" ”

Li Jing's mood has improved a lot recently, and he nodded heartily, "It's okay." ”

Several people sat down, in terms of rank, one in front of them was General Li Jing who shocked the Central Plains, one was a county marquis who was famous all over the Central Plains, and there was also a king of Nanzhao.

Li Dewu found that he had become a small drinker, which was also reasonable.

The wine was poured into the bowl, why bother drinking or as bold as ever, the wine poured into the long breath, "How does the wine taste?" ”

After Li Jing drank it, he said, "The flavor is good." ”

Zhang Yang took a sip and sighed, "General, I am used to drinking the wine of Lishan, why is it very unpleasant to drink this plum wine." ”

"You're right, it's not good if the plum flavor of this drink is too strong."

Zhang Yang put down the wine bowl, "It's better to be like this, King Nanzhao invites me to wait for a drink, why don't you also taste the wine of our Lishan." ”

Why bother nodding heavily, "Okay, okay." ”

After that, Zhang Yang looked at the person holding the wine jug on the side, "Are you ......?"

"Oh!" Li Dewu hurriedly bowed again, and said with a smile: "Xia Guan is Li Dewu, the head of Jiannan Dao. ”

"Well, you go to the liquor shop over there and get two jars of spirits."

Following Zhang Yang's point, Li Dewu hurriedly ran to the wine shop.

A low wine table, three wine bowls are placed on the table, why pour another sip, "Recently, I have always heard that the Tang Dynasty has won many big victories, and I have also heard that Tubo and Tianzhu are fighting?" ”

Li Jinghu was suspicious for a long time, so he asked, "Are you from Guanzhong?" ”

Why don't you want to change your accent, pretending to be too tired, he replied: "I used to be from Guanzhong, and then I went to Nanzhao." ”

Li Jing asked again: "How did you win Nanzhao?" ”

He smiled heartily again, why bother to explain: "It's easy to say, it's nothing more than promising them benefits, making them generals or officials, or giving them gold and silver, and they will die for a certain family." ”

"That's all?"

Seeing that Li Jing was still surprised, why bother to explain: "Actually, Nanzhao is not like the Central Plains, Nanzhao is not strong, and Nanzhao's concept of monarchy is not as deeply rooted in the hearts of the people as the Central Plains." ”

Li Jing said again: "Look at your reckless behavior, you actually know so much? ”

Why bother waving his hand and saying: "I used to know a person, he was very smart, and he taught him." ”

Zhang Yang coughed twice, and then explained: "I had a cold before, and I have been recuperating my body. ”

Why bother to say again: "General Li Jing!" has heard of the prestige for a long time, and a certain family also wants to bring out the 30,000 soldiers and horses of Nanzhao to confront the general on the battlefield and fight happily. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yang coughed violently again, and it took a long time to calm his breath, and he looked at the carriages in the distance, and asked, "Is the carriage full of wine?" All of them are going to pay tribute to the Heavenly Khan? ”

"Those are all some native products of Nanzhao, a certain family looks at the two of them, it is better to take some away, thinking that Your Majesty will not use too much."

Li Jing waved his hand and said: "Since it is for the Heavenly Khan, it is just a matter of drinking some wine, and those who pay tribute will never dare to take it." ”

Why bother waved his hand and said: "Nanzhao is very poor, how can there be anything valuable, they are all some special products, and I am afraid that the Khan will dislike them." ”

Zhang Yang was entangled: "Why don't you go and have a look?" ”

"It's fine."

Li Jing finally stood up.

When Li Dewu hurriedly came with the wine jar, the three of them were no longer at the wine table, and after scanning around, they found that Zhang Yang and the general were watching the carriage of the Nanzhao people.

Why bother to take out some tea leaves from the carriage, and said: "I heard that the people in Guanzhong like tea now, so I brought some over." ”

After that, he got into the carriage again, took out a few cloth bags, and said, "This is cloth, this is spice, this is dye......"

Zhang Yang whispered: "General, this King of Nanzhao is so enthusiastic." ”

Li Jing smiled awkwardly and nodded.

Why did he finally get out of the carriage and said: "This is a worthless commodity in Nanzhao, and spices are worth a little money." ”

Zhang Yang bowed his head and said: "These are all tributes, how can we take them?" ”

Seeing that He Bi's expression was a little difficult, Zhang Yang's eyes looked at the carriage and asked curiously: "Huh? You're in a good carriage. ”

Hearing that the general and the county marquis did not take tribute, Li Dewu also breathed a sigh of relief.

"That Jiannan Dao ......"

"Xiaguan Jiannan Dao Governor Shi Li Dewu." He introduced himself again.

"By the way, if we don't take these tribute goods from Lishan, can these carriages be sold to Lishan?"

Li Dewu nodded and said, "The carriage is okay." ”

Zhang Yang nodded happily and said, "We in Lishan just lack a few carriages to transport goods. ”

Why bother jumping down from the wheel and said: "A certain family has always admired such characters as the county marquis, so he should make a brother and send him to Lishan." ”

"Okay."

Zhang Yang finally nodded, and then walked around the side of a carriage, slapped a few times, kicked the wheel hub below, and said, "I want all six carriages." ”

Why bother to call for his own manpower, pull out the carriage picked by Zhang Yang, and then take out the goods in the carriage and put it into several other carriages.

Li Dewu confirmed that the goods in the carriage were all taken out, so he was relieved to let Zhang Yang take them to Lishan.

"King Nanzhao, I'm leaving."

"A certain family won't send it."

Li Jing beckoned a few soldiers and helped pull the carriage back.

On the side of the official road, why bother looking at the back, and said with a smile: "This Hou of Lishan County is really interesting." ”

Li Dewu said in a low voice: "King Nanzhao should rest early, and he can go to Chang'an as soon as the morning dawns." ”

Fine snow fell in the night sky, and when I looked up, the snow was not heavy.

Why go into the carriage and fall asleep, everything in your heart has been settled, and you can let go.

Heartily broke through Nanzhao, conquered the city and overrode the prestige of being a general, and also became the king of Nanzhao for a few days.

What are the regrets in life so far?

It was also the most restful sleep he had ever slept on.

Zhang Yang had horse-drawn carriages drawn into Lishan, which lined up in long rows along the village's paths.

Li Yue was curious: "What does the husband want so many carriages for?" ”

Zhang Yang picked up a stone and sharpened it vigorously at the bottom of the carriage, and some of the patent leather peeled off, and he took a torch to shine it underneath.

Shocked, Li Yue covered her mouth, she looked at the touch of gold between the patent leather, and then took a closer look.

It was only with each other that they could hear their voices, and they whispered, "The base frame of this carriage is made of gold?" ”

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "In this way, I can hand over Nanzhao's money to me under the noses of so many people." ”

The carriage had a very large base, and some of the poorly made parts were directly padded with a whole piece of gold.

Taking advantage of the night, Zhang Yang pushed all these carriages into the warehouse of Lishan alone.

A few torches were lit in the storeroom, and six troikas were neatly parked in front of a pile of money.

The couple cooperated and planned to dismantle the carriage tonight, and let Aunt Yang take care of the wind outside the warehouse.

"This kind of method was also taught by the husband to Brother He?"

"I've told him this kind of thing before, but I didn't expect him to do it" (end of chapter)
