Since the beginning of winter, Zhang Liang has been huddled in the Zhuangzi outside the city all day long, not daring to go out.

The reason why I don't dare to go out is very simple, because as long as I go out and be recognized, I will be scolded and beaten like a storm.

Not only him, but also the eldest grandson Shunde, Liu Hongji and others are all treated the same.

Ever since they declared their trading company bankrupt and stated that the actual value of their trading company was far less than the price of its stock, triggering a horrific drop in the stock market, they have become a typical example of what everyone shouts about.

That is, Li Yunze was kind-hearted and gradually began to repurchase shares at a price lower than the issue price, so that most people's losses were not as serious as they imagined, and what they really lost was inflated value, which kept them from being killed.

Of course, the shares of the local tyrant family in the target book are not collected, and they can only wait to pay back.

There are also those who do not accept those foreigners who speculate in stocks with the country's capital.

The popularity of the Datang stock market has attracted a large number of foreigners to join it.

In addition to Hu Shang, the most is the national capital brought by the envoys of various countries.

At first, they were more cautious, but as the stock price soared, they couldn't help it when they saw that others had made a lot of money and they had only made a small amount of money.

After the news was transmitted back to their own countries, the kings of various countries sent people to escort Guoben to Chang'an City, first exchanged it for silver bills in Qianzhuang Bank, and then rushed into the stock market to buy frantically.

Naturally, there is no need to say much when making a nest, it really makes a lot of money, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is directly digging gold.

After learning the news, even powerful people from various countries sent people to invest in the stock market with their family assets, and at most, some people even earned several times the principal.

At that time, most people thought that they would continue to make money like this, and make money until the sea was rotten.

Only Lu Dongzan vaguely felt that it was inappropriate, he thought that there was a lot of wealth in the world, how could there be so much.

Out of an abundance of caution, he did a part.

The one who had the same idea and practice as him was the Goguryeo envoy Yuan Gai Suwen.

When the stock market crashes, these foreign investors will naturally be unlucky.

Even Lu Dongzan and Yuan Gai Suwen have lost a lot, just less than others.

They also went to Li Er to ask for an explanation, but unfortunately Tian Khan left Chang'an City and saw no one.

The envoys of various countries are naturally very angry, but no matter how angry they are, they can't do anything about it, they can't set troops to loot Chang'an City.

They thought, but unfortunately they don't have that strength.

Of course, this hatred must have been formed, and future wars will naturally be unavoidable.

Speaking of war, the Tang Dynasty, which had been calm for a while, set off the war again in winter.

This time, the enemy army was not the surrounding small countries, but the party members who took the initiative to defect to the Tang Dynasty after Tuyuhun was destroyed.

Dangxiang people are also called Dangxiang Qiang, which belongs to a branch of the Qiang people.

Before, they followed Tugu Hun and attacked Datang.

When the boss was destroyed, the party members hurriedly returned to the dock and recognized the heavenly khan.

Li Er didn't embarrass them much, and gave them a place to live.

Unexpectedly, the big chief of the party sold most of the cattle and sheep in the tribe, exchanged them for goods, and sent people to Chang'an City to speculate in stocks.

The result is naturally conceivable, not to mention the loss of money, in the winter, the heavy snow in the sky causes the tribe to be unable to survive, so it can only be robbed.

The party members are all surrounded by the territory of Datang, and in order to survive, they can only rob Datang.

As for how powerful Datang is or something, anyway, I don't care about it now, so I will grab something and eat a full meal first.

It is said to be a war, but in fact it is more like quelling a bandit group.

Historically, the party people moved within the Wu Zetian period, and gradually formed a feudal town during the Huangchao period, and were given the surname Li.

】

Later, it was Li Yuanhao who called the emperor to build Western Xia, and issued a bald order, that is, to keep his hair without a head, and he must make his hair bald.

Now, Li Yunze, who is familiar with history, will certainly not give the party members the slightest chance to turn over.

He took the initiative to speak to Li Erjin, saying that if he could not severely punish the party Xiang Qiang, then all tribes would follow suit in the future, defying the authority of the Heavenly Khan, and it would also affect the plan to reduce the number of people on the grassland.

After all, there is not enough deterrence, why should people let you lose your ding?

Li Er was slightly surprised, and didn't understand why Li Yunze was so heavy.

However, Li Er still accepted his suggestion.

Compared with the party Xiangqiang, which is not worth mentioning now, the reduction of Ding on the prairie is the most important. As long as the reduction can be strictly enforced, the prairie will never be able to threaten the Central Plains again.

The trick of killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys is common in any era.

The party members didn't think about it so much at all, they just couldn't survive in the winter, so they looted Lanzhou Zuojin, where did they know what kind of revenge they would attract under the lack of culture.

Li Er looked down on the party members, because although there were many of them, they didn't even have a decent stomach.

As for strict training or something, it's all a shadowless thing.

In Li Er's heart, it was a group of miscellaneous beards, which was not worth mentioning.

To deal with this kind of miscellaneous beard, there is no need to use famous generals, and after choosing a circle, Cheng Yanjin was selected as the main general.

Cheng Yanjin was appointed as the general manager of Longyou Dao, and 30,000 soldiers from the 16 guards were sent to Lanzhou to exterminate the party Xiangqiang.

Unexpectedly, Li Yunze took the initiative to ask Ying to serve as the logistics Sima of this operation.

Through the stock exchange, Li Yunze and Li Er conspired to almost squeeze out the wealth of the local tyrant families.

In addition to building railways, the most important use of such a huge sum of money is to fight wars and make military expenses.

Li Er wants to surpass the ancestral dragon Hanwu, wants to build the Tang Dynasty into a giant Tang, and wants to divide his son to the end of the world, the only choice is to fight.

Winter is not a good weather for troops, and the cold weather is not only a huge test for the sergeants' bodies, but also has a greater impact on logistics.

Chang'an City is more than 1,000 miles from Lanzhou, and if you rely on the people to transport logistics materials in winter, you have to be prepared to lose thousands of people and a large amount of materials.

But now it is different, the railway from Chang'an to Lanzhou is nearing completion, and the farthest has been repaired to Didao, that is, Lintao.

The soldiers and people do not need to brave the snowflakes flying all over the sky and struggle to move forward in a vast white snowfield.

They sat in the carriage with the stove burning, talking and laughing, roasting the fire, from time to time picking up the tin kettle on the stove, pouring a cup of boiling water, sprinkling some tea leaves, green onions, ginger, salt, sugar, spices, and drinking hot tea.

The tea ceremony in the Tang Dynasty would add all kinds of things to the tea, and there were not many people like Li Yunze who didn't put anything and only drank green tea.

The soldiers all have their own acres of land, and with the promotion and planting of a large number of farm tools, seeds and other materials brought by Li Yunze, it is not surprising that onions, ginger, garlic, salt, sugar, chili peppers, spices, etc.

Cheng Yanjin picked up the hot water kettle on the stove and poured hot water into the iron cup in front of him.

Now the trend in Chang'an City is to follow Li Yunze.

Learn from his food, clothing, housing and transportation, he only drinks green tea when he drinks tea, and the nobles immediately follow suit, even Li Er.

Meimei took a sip of hot tea, and Cheng Biting Jin breathed out the hot air comfortably.

"Thanks to you." Putting down the cup, Cheng Yanjin smiled and said to Li Yunze opposite, "If it weren't for these things you brought, the old man would still have to rush in the wind and snow." ”

"Then give me some thanks." Li Yunze, who was leaning on the chair, closed his eyes and recuperated: "It's boring to just say thank you with your mouth." ”

"Hahaha~~~"

Cheng Yanjin covered up the topic with laughter, "What do you think about pacifying the Qiang people this time, how to fight?" ”

Hearing this, Li Yunze, who had his arms wrapped around his chest, finally opened his eyes, "No need to be tempted, I have no interest in robbing you of military power, I am here to ensure logistics for you." You can fight as much as you want, even if it's to let the yellow sergeants go to kill the Qiang people

It's okay to drown. ”

Hearing this, Cheng Biting Jin can be regarded as relieved.

Li Yunze's identity is unusual, and what he is most worried about is to dictate how he fights, which no military general can tolerate.

Now that everyone has made things clear, there is no doubt that it is a good thing.

"With you, the God of Wealth, in charge of logistics, the old man is full of confidence this time."

Cheng Yanjin wanted to say very much, what is the Qiang people, the old man came to beat the Qiang people, it was a can to catch the king eight, and nine out of ten are stable.

The Qiang people are just tribes and have a low degree of organization.

And they are hungry now, and there are not a few sets of iron armor in the entire tribe. used the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to fight them, and it was natural to win, and if he lost, he would have no face to return to Chang'an City.

"The logistics materials are all allocated by the emperor and the imperial court, and they have nothing to do with me."

Li Yunze looked sideways at the vast snow outside the thick car window, "You have to thank the emperor and the imperial court." ”

Cheng Biting Jin grinned, and very simply changed the topic again, "Your road repair thing, give the old man some even." ”

Li Yunze, who withdrew his gaze, turned his head to look at him, "It's just a Qiang fight, you don't need it." ”

Cheng Yanjin was still arguing, "The camp tent of the Qiang people is also quite strong..."

Listening to these words that Cheng Yanjin himself didn't believe, Li Yunze shook his head with a smile, "You go and ask for the holy decree, and Your Majesty will give it to you if you agree." ”

What they are talking about is actually the gunpowder used to open the mountain when the railway was being built.

Gunpowder appeared on the land of China very early, but it was not until the Song Dynasty that it was put into military use.

The main reason is not that no one can see the effect, but that there are too many impurities, and the power is too weak to be worth it.

Li Yunze provided the technology, and the power of the purified black powder was already very terrifying, and it was enough to attack the city.

In addition, with the popularization of cotton, nitrocellulose and other more powerful things are also under development.

The powerful gunpowder played a huge role in the construction of the railway, and the terrifying power when the mountain was opened made Li Er extremely shocked, and he immediately covered it up as a national treasure.

"Are you thinking of Goguryeo?"

Li Yunze saw through Cheng Yanjin's thoughts, "I think I will use it first this time, and when I fight Goguryeo, I will become a veteran with experience, even if I can't be the commander, I can mix the identity of an accompanying general." ”

Cheng Biting Jin rubbed his face, "You're too smart." ”

"The main thing is that you can't act well, and you write what you think on your face in just a few words."

The soldiers in the carriage began to shout to the meal to start the meal, and Cheng Yanjin and Li Yunze got up at the same time and walked towards the dining car.

Ordinary sergeants can naturally only wait in the carriage to eat a big pot of rice, while there is a special dining car to provide meals above the lieutenant level.

When he came to the dining car and looked at the steaming dishes, Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but sigh.

"Where is this for the war, and there is no such treatment when you go out of the city."
