Chapter 728: Wealthy Gaochang
When the people got up the next day, the streets were full of Gaochang soldiers, but these soldiers were wearing Tang military uniforms, and they also knew that they were all new troops.
The so-called new army is retrained after the people of the Tang Dynasty came, they are different from the original Gaochang soldiers, if you want to enter such an army as a soldier, you must have the blood of the Tang Dynasty, if you don't have the blood of those Han people, no matter how strong your strength is, there is no way to enter such an army.
Many people glanced at each other, and they also knew that something big must have happened last night, but for ordinary people, they didn't care about what happened last night, they just wanted to be able to go out to work normally today, many people have no surplus food at home, if they still want to not be hungry today, then they have to go out to work normally.
Li Xiang understands this very well, so when the sun rises, everything in the city returns to calm, but the mansions of many dignitaries and nobles are different, originally there are many people who have to go to the mansions of these dignitaries to help, so that they can get daily food, but from today on, the work of you people is gone, because the original nobles no longer exist.
This is a noble street in Gaochang, I don't know how many princes and nobles are on this street, but today both streets are blocked, and the people who went to the palace from here in the past did not come out, and even some of the guards inside were gone, and the street was full of Gaochang's new army.
Of course, they can only stand at the entrance of the street, and all the people who really carry out the task of copying the house inside are the army of Datang, although these new troops have also been trained for a while, but the people of Datang still don't believe in them very much, especially such a thing as copying homes, if they fill their pockets, where to find them?
The last time Li Xiang came over, he was a little hot for these nobles in Gaochang, because Gaochang had grasped the trade route from the Tang Dynasty to the Western Regions before, and their position was the same as that of Tuyuhun before.
In the past, the merchants of the Tang Dynasty had no way to directly trade with the merchants of Tubo, so they had to pour a hand in the hands of the merchants of Tuyuhun, don't underestimate the profits in the middle of this hand of trading, but there are too many of them, Gao Changguo is in such a position, so the people inside them are very rich.
At that time, Li Xiang wanted to do something to these people, which was the standard for the winner, but Wadahan saved these people, and Wadahan said it very well at the time, if these people's homes were copied, it would cause social turmoil, and Li Xiang agreed at that time with a soft heart.
But I didn't expect it to just last for a while, now these people still have nothing to do, all of them have joined Wadahan's rebellion plan, since this is the case, then we have nothing to say, King Gaochang has already conveyed the order, you people intend to rebel, so now the whole family will go to prison, as for these properties in your family, it can only be confiscated by the army of the Tang Dynasty.
Boxes and boxes of gold and silver treasures made Su Dingfang and Cheng Chumo dumbfounded.
According to their thoughts, even in Chang'an City, many nobles may not be as rich as you, isn't Gaochang Kingdom a small country? Could it be that this small country has become rich enough to this level? What was confiscated just now were the precious treasures that had been taken from the homes of several princes, in total, more than a hundred carts.
"It seems that we still have some different perceptions of this small country, I originally thought that they would drink some soup at most, but I didn't expect that the level of wealth far exceeded that of the Turks and Xue Yantuo."
Su Jingfang looked at the convoy in the distance with some puzzlement, this is already the fifth convoy in the past, each convoy has thirty carts, which are full of gold and silver treasures copied from the homes of Wang Gong nobles, all of which are to be transported back to Chang'an, and some of them are used as military expenses.
"There are no special products in the Turks and Xue Yantuo, and our merchants are not willing to go over, so there are not many opportunities to make money, but they are different, stuck in the passage of the Hexi Corridor, they are equal to making two parts of the money, the original Tuyuhun is not as much as they make money, after all, the consumption of Tubo is limited, and the countries in the Western Regions are different, they are very rich."
Cheng Chumo still knows something about this region, the countries of the Western Regions themselves can consume some of the goods of the Tang Dynasty, and some of them have passed west through the ancient Silk Road, as for what countries have been transmitted to the west, they may not know.
Although the merchants of the Western Regions have made huge profits, the merchants of Gaochang Kingdom will naturally not be idle, and most of their profits have been earned by these nobles, who may never have dreamed that all the money they earned after a lifetime of hard work was taken away by the people of Datang this morning.
"Report to the general, this person wants to see you, he is the left minister of Gao Changguo."
When the two were talking, an old man was pulled over from behind, this guy has never done much business, and his ability to collect money can be said to be the strongest in Gao Changguo.
"The two generals have already submitted to the Tang Dynasty, and they have also met your Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson recently, is there a misunderstanding in this matter today? We really didn't collude with anyone. ”
Looking at the left prime minister of Gao Changguo in front of them, Su Dingfang and Cheng Chumo didn't know what to say, this guy was indeed wronged, there was no such person on the list at all, but Li Xiang later added this person, because he had been the prime minister of Zuo for a long time, and he didn't know how much wealth he had accumulated in this position, if he didn't take advantage of this opportunity, he would really not be able to find a chance in the future.
This guy is indeed the first batch of people to surrender to Datang, but this guy didn't bring any benefits to Datang, he just took the opportunity of surrendering Datang to make money for himself, so Li Xiang added his name, which is also for all people to see, don't think that if you show your attitude, it's okay, you have to do things for Datang in the future, if you are so slack, we will also do you.
"This matter has nothing to do with us, we are also following orders from above, your king said that you have a connection with the rebels, then you must have a connection, if you are not convinced, you can go to your king."
Cheng Chu waved his hand helplessly, if you want to blame it, you bastard is too rich......
