"How much do you know about Nanzhao? Did you have any intersection with this side in the past? ”

Next to Li Xiang, Zhang Jiuli was honestly kneeling here, although there were other seats on Li Xiang's carriage, but Zhang Jiuli himself was a guilty person, so it was naturally impossible to sit in Li Xiang's carriage with a grin, Li Xiang did not show Corporal Lixian's set, Zhang Jiuli was indeed a sinner, and Corporal Lixian's set could not be given to him.

"If you go back to Your Highness, when you were in Sichuan, you have always had business contacts with this side, but the number of contacts is not much, mainly because the people here are different from our living habits, but since the opening of His Royal Highness's Zhizhibao, all kinds of goods are also unimpeded here, and the merchants are also selling the goods of Zhizhibao."

What Zhang Jiuli said is the truth, there are many differences in the living habits of the people here and the people in the mainland, and the people here have also mastered some of their own technologies, although they are relatively backward compared to Chang'an City, but people have lived like this for thousands of years, and they don't need those things in Chang'an City very much.

It's just that the habits of the rich are the same, when there are all kinds of luxury goods in Chang'an City, the merchants in Sichuan immediately realized the business opportunity, and the goods from Chang'an City to Sichuan may be able to increase the price by three or five times, but these people are not pursuing such profits, if they can transport these goods to Nanzhao, then the price will be more than 20 times.

Li Xiang is of course very clear about this, he has sent people to open a few of his own small shops in Nanzhao, of course, it is impossible to sell the goods of Zhizhibao in a clear way, if this is the case, it is easy to arouse local vigilance, Li Xiang sent people here is also to collect local customs, only their own political forces arrive here, will let Zhizhibao's branch here, otherwise Zhizhibao is someone else's live target, a child holding a gold bar live target, at any time may be looted by the locals.

For ordinary people, they only know how much money they make when they get to the treasure, but in the end, these ordinary people must not be very clear, but these local magnates are different, they have more sources than ordinary people, they just need to calculate it well after going back, and they will be able to know how much money it is.

If they don't know this number, then it is still very safe to hold on to the treasure, but if they know this number, many greedy people will have some hearts that they should not have, and over time their hearts will be put into practice, they don't care who this deal is, the most important thing is that Li Xiang can't control them, so even if Li Xiang's assets are greedy, will Datang start a war?

Therefore, before the forces of the Tang Dynasty have not arrived in a place, Li Xiang will never allow Zhizhibao to drive over like this, which is equivalent to directly sending money to others, whether it is lost goods or money, Li Xiang will not allow it, we already know such a crisis, why do we have to know that there are tigers in the mountains and prefer to go to the tigers, that is a reckless behavior.

What's more, let these businessmen travel long distances to transport goods, this is also another way of sales, it can be regarded as giving profits to everyone, the road is far away and it is not safe, people should indeed get such profits, Li Xiang can not make all the money, if this is really the case, then I am afraid that it will become the target of public criticism in the future.

"You two sides are borders with each other, have you ever had a border conflict? Is there any knowledge of their military power? ”

Li Xiang has known these news for a long time, but he still wants to see Zhang Jiuli's judgment, after all, Zhang Jiuli is a capable person in Li Xiang's heart, since he has been ruling Sichuan for a long time, then he must have his own opinions about the neighbors in the south, after the events on the mountain, Zhang Jiuli's mother was the first to be released, which can be regarded as making him see hope, continue to work hard, and there will be other relatives to rescue.

This time Li Xiang also gave him a promise, as long as he can play a role in Nanzhao this time, then Li Xiang will also let one of his wives come back, although it does not involve his children and grandchildren, but after all, it is also one of his relatives, Zhang Jiuli was already ruthless when he came, and he must let Li Xiang see his role.

"Weichen and this side of the connection is not deep, mainly because we are still separated by the territory of Longquan Tusi, if you want to say that you know about this side, the people of Longquan Tusi often clash with them, although they and Nanzhao belong to the same southern barbarians, but they are not the same race with each other, and the wars between them are very frequent."

When talking about other things, Zhang Jiuli may know very well, but when he talks about this matter, Zhang Jiuli may not be able to exert his strength, Longquan Toast often interacts with people here, but now Longquan Toast has entered Beijing......

"If you want to talk about the combat effectiveness of these people, I think it should be much different from the army of the toast master, Longquan Tusi had a large-scale conflict with them five years ago, and the army used exceeded tens of thousands, and the three major toasts also sent their people to cheer, but in the end, the two sides can be said to have lost both, each retreated to its own starting point, and did not cause any border changes, of course, this is all speculation, not necessarily true."

Zhang Jiuli said very cautiously, he just searched out everything he knew in his head, whether his speculation was true or not, he had to be indicated, in case it affected Li Xiang's judgment, then I am afraid that his crime would be great.

"Being able to send tens of thousands of troops at will, it seems that the imperial court's estimation of them is problematic, the imperial court thinks that their standing army is about forty or fifty thousand, and it is not even comparable to a relatively large Tusi, what do you think?"

When Li Xiang heard this, he frowned, to put it bluntly, Li Xiang didn't believe in those people under the eldest grandson Wuji, the matter of Tubo has already been manifested, those people usually spend a lot of money, but the news they heard is not very true.

"Weichen doesn't know much about this, but there must be a discrepancy in this number in the imperial court......"

Zhang Jiuli said it more tactfully, you can't just say that the investigators of the imperial court spent money in vain, right?
