Chapter 321: The White Horse Howling West Wind

The situation varies from state to state.

Zhongzhou is prosperous and stable, so there is the foundation of Chu Xujun opening the Phoenix Tower in one fell swoop.

The Phoenix House laid the foundation with the "paper" that was born out of nowhere, and then used tofu and summer ice drinks with condiments, while gold jewelry and tea continued to collect the wallets of the nobles, opening up the situation and gradually enriching the books of the Phoenix Tower.

Under the war at that time, Jeju had the Taiping song and dance momentum, using cement as a gimmick, paper as a continuation, and before the war, it was mainly based on information, and Chu Xujun gave in a lot to obtain different large and small news.

And now, Jizhou Yancheng, the center and gateway of the northwest, there is an outer city they have built themselves, and Chu Xujun's calculations are naturally greater.

Now she has a lot of resources in her hands: Yangcheng, Lingzhou, has fertile soil and fertile land, high-yield new grain; The paper workshop in Zhen'an County, Zhongzhou has formed an industry, the leading is still in the hands of Phoenix Building, and there is also a large market for tea and sugar, but the output is not abundant; And unexpectedly, Jeju has not only cement, but also local salt.

Between the four states, the most important thing now is transportation, the ancient road is not difficult to walk, but there is almost no road at all, the next step is to open up her own transportation network.

The waterway has Changzhou Fengshi, the land route has a cement road paved from Jeju to Jizhou before, and there is also a mountain road for grain transportation from Lingzhou to Jizhou, although it is not spacious, but this road is difficult to open.

The question now is, how does Chu Xujun connect them, the transportation network must not only have roads and people, but most importantly, it must be relied on.

Her ready-made reliance is naturally the Wei Jiajun.

But can Weiling now lay such a network in Zhongzhou, Jizhou, Jeju and Lingzhou?

Chu Xujun circled these four states on the Kanyu map, which undoubtedly choked the central trunk of Xiye, and no one in the upper echelons would let them go after knowing it.

Unless, they are the ones on the dragon chair.

But Wei Ling didn't have the heart to win, and Chu Xujun didn't want to take that dark and dirty road.

Then you can only "steal" and be the "uncrowned king" who tries not to attract attention.

After thinking about it, Chu Xujun rolled up the paper in his hand and found Wei Ling, who had a calm face and a little impatience in the main account.

After the war, the affairs were cumbersome, and Shen Youchai and Tao Wuming were busy pursuing his sisters, and they did not plan to continue to "work hard" for this eldest brother.

So Wei Ling was dubbed by the two of them "You have won the battle now, it is the time of the scenery", and then stuffed him in the military tent.

For he was speaking "so well" at this time.

Wei Ling felt like an enshrined "King Kong", most of the time calm, sometimes angry, and even a few times when the spring breeze and rain turned into a rain, facing the "prayers" of the whole army and the people of the city.

That was before she came.

Wei Ling's patience, which was almost dying, was all in place the moment he saw his fiancée.

The others looked at the two of them with a smile, and some of them were bold enough to say, "Congratulations."

Chu Xujun nodded.

Wei Ling: "Why are you here in person?"

Just smiled very worthlessly.

Chu Xujun: "I have a business to discuss with General Wei."

Wei Ling's smile narrowed in two points: "You want to open the White Horse Building?"

How can everyone remember her name casually?

Chu Xujun: "It's just a small business. That's what I want to talk about."

She handed him the snow-white scroll in her hand.

"What you call a plan again?" Wei Ling smiled, opened, and gradually the gentle face on his face became serious and serious.

He took a deep breath, "Xu-kun, do you know what this means?"

Chu Xujun stretched out her hand and clicked on the two words she wrote on the top of the map - "underground".

Wei Ling smiled again, the tacit understanding between him and Xujun never needed to be explained, and pointed to the other two words: "Express, what does this mean?"

Chu Xujun: "In fact, it is today's post station, take new words, don't let it

People see."

She is in "Logistics", "Station", "Unicom", ...... Among the other words, I still chose the two words that made a woman's heart the most.

"Do you want to set up a courier station and form a network of contacts and transportation in these four states?"

Chu Xujun: "Yes."

Wei Ling: "I'm afraid there will be more than these four states in the future."

Chu Xujun: "Yes. What does the general think?"

Wei Ling: "How to cooperate?"

Chu Xujun was very serious: "I am responsible for contacting Changzhou and Lingzhou, and you and I are half between Zhongzhou and Jeju, you send troops and horses, and I will contribute funds."

Wei Ling: "Xu-kun, what do you mean by building a caravan with me?"

Chu Xujun was stunned, does Wei Ling want the army to be transferred to a caravan?

"The trend of the northwest can be solved by mutual market commerce."

Chu Xujun understood that when they carried out commerce and trade in the northwest, taught them and sold them what they needed on the grassland, who would be willing to fight with them when they could not do without the salt and iron, cloth, grain and grass, tea and other things in Xiye?

A dozen, nothing, who is willing to do it?

The steppe cavalry could not respond to all calls, and the forces could no longer be gathered.

Seeking common ground while reserving differences, who annexes whom, will be known by future generations.

Chu Xujun: "What I want is to map the four states first, and what the general thinks is to land the country." After all, it was her pattern that gave up.

Wei Ling: "How about the return on Xujun's vigorous investment in grain and grass before?"

Chu Xujun: "There is one thing I want to explain first, White Horse Tower, I want to use "Sky Fire" as a gimmick."

Wei Ling: "You want to continue to find out how deep the water is around Yancheng?"

**********

As soon as the two men settled, the situation in the outer city became even busier.

The people in the city thought that the general's wife was about to be married, and when they heard the sound of firecrackers, they came to the door of a stone building with colorful lights, and the plaque read "White Horse Building".

There is also a plaque in the building that reads "Howling West Wind".

It is a nameless word of peach, although he did not understand the deep meaning, he also felt quite interesting.

I have heard that the eldest lady of the Chu family was in the martial arts competition field and won the championship with famous poems, but it is indeed hidden.

In front of the building, the little lady Wu was wearing a red quilt and greeted the guests with a smile.

The late arrivals wondered, "What is this? Didn't you say it was the wedding feast of the general and his wife?"

"White Horse Building, a seller."

"What are you selling?"

"It is said that there is everything, even the heavenly fire is sold."

"Heavenly ...... Do you dare to sell it? The general agreed?"

"Maybe, it's the general who wants to sell it."

"Then we can't afford this fire, why are so many people rushing in."

"Do you want paper? Do you want a cement team? Seeds, salt stones, tea leaves for high-yielding crops...... It is said that there are also ice drinks...... Hey, I'm not done yet?"

"There are so many good things, why don't you go in?"

The guest: "I've been drinking more clean than my face these days, and the little lady asked me to come here to help with the publicity, and then promised to give me a new cup of tea, if you want to choose paper, you can also ...... Why are you gone again?"

"Of course, I'm going to ask, can I do that too, publicity!"

On the second floor of the White Horse Building, in the tearoom of the compartment, Chu Xujun/Wei Ling/Tao Wuming/Shen Youchai, sitting behind the screen from time to time, saw the guests who came to buy "Tianhuo".

"Is Skyfire real?"

A smile came from behind the screen, "Really. It depends on what price the customer can afford?"

The guests also smiled, for the sake of the heavenly fire, they can afford anything!
