In the Royal Annex, Ling Jianqiu and his party were packing up and preparing to go.

This trip to the DPRK has gained quite a bit for him.

It turned out that I came to pick up my sister back to Vientiane.

I never thought that the first emperor of the Li Dynasty would pass the throne to a great talent, such a good opportunity, he naturally would not miss it, the three kingdoms themselves reached a marriage, and those princes of the Li Dynasty, needless to say, are naturally better than the great talents.

Although the queen doesn't have to think about anything, it's not bad.

After all, the surrounding countries have sent the princess, and everyone is about the same, so there is nothing to regret.

And he received news that Dali was already in a hurry and was on his way to send the princess.

It's naturally best to be able to get a head start.

In addition, there is also an aunt and the Qingguo Mansion, which can be regarded as establishing an intimate relationship with the great talent, and his heart is also a lot more stable.

Otherwise, there is such a powerful boss around, and he is indeed a little panicked.

At this time, an entourage walked in, "His Royal Highness the Prince, everything has been packed up and is ready to leave at any time." ”

Outside the Royal Annex.

At this moment, a group of soldiers from Vientiane Country are ready to go, and Dali has arranged a lot of officials to send them off, just kidding, after all, he is the prince of a country, or the brother of Concubine Ling, so naturally he can't be lazy.

Ling Jianqiu said goodbye to the officials, and subconsciously glanced in the direction of the palace.

At this moment, a sharp voice suddenly sounded, "Your Majesty has arrived!" ”

At the same time, a procession came in the distance, and Ouchi's guards opened the way, and luxurious carriages were guarded in it.

Ling Jianqiu's eyes lit up, and his face showed joy.

The carriage approached, Lin Bai led Ling Qingqiu out of the carriage, the latter had a flushed face and a shy look, and he didn't know what could be said in the car just now, Ling Qingqiu didn't dare to raise his head, looking like he was afraid that someone would see that something was wrong.

The big talent naturally didn't care, he had long been used to it, and smiled at her.

A group of officials and soldiers hurriedly saluted, "I've seen Your Majesty, Concubine Ling!" ”

Ling Jianqiu also greeted him, with a smile on his face, "I've seen His Majesty Lichao." ”

Lin Bai smiled and said, "Qingqiu said that he wanted to come to send off his eldest brother, I just happened to be fine, so let's take a look." ”

Ling Jianqiu was overjoyed.

In fact, in the past few days, he has inquired about his sister's situation and knows that his sister doesn't seem to be favored, although the time is still short and he can't see anything, but he is somewhat worried in his heart.

But now, that doesn't seem to be the case.

How can his sister's demeanor escape his eyes, and the fact that a talented man can send it in person is in itself an explanation of how he doesn't like it.

He said: "It's polite to leave Your Majesty, and I'll ask you after Qingqiu." ”

Lin Bai smiled and said: "In terms of the relationship between the two countries, I am leaving the dynasty for Your Majesty, but in private, Qingqiu is my mother, I naturally will not treat her badly, eldest brother rest assured." ”

This big brother not only made Ling Jianqiu at a loss.

A hint of surprise also flashed in Ling Qingqiu's eyes, and she secretly glanced at her husband again, the little daughter was full of posture, and the corners of her mouth were hooked as if she had eaten honey.

Ling Jianqiu also recovered from his momentary astonishment, looking flattered.

Then he said: "Brother-in-law, since you call me a big brother, then I will call you brother-in-law directly, in fact, there is something I have always wanted to ask my sister, but I don't know whether to ask or not." ”

Lin Bai smiled and said, "Big brother might as well say it directly." ”

Ling Jianqiu said: "Then the eldest brother is welcome, it is about the Silk Road, the trade route to the Western Regions, my brother-in-law will not abandon it, right?" ”

That's right! That's what he cares about the most.

Because this trade route is now related to the fate of Lezhou, exaggerated, and even related to the economy of Vientiane.

The reason why the great talent opened up this trade road was because he was suppressed by the departure dynasty and was forced to go to Lezhou to Xirong, and now the great talent has become His Majesty from the dynasty, and he can go directly to Sichuan and Shu, and there is no need to bypass Lezhou at all, and once this is really the case, Lezhou will be abandoned, so Vientiane's investment in Lezhou is likely to be wasted, which can be imagined.

He looked at the great talent with a blank look on his face.

Lin Bai didn't seem surprised by this question, because he had also been studying this matter for the past few days.

No way! That design has become Lao Zhu's obsession, since he has been in power, then he can't do nothing, he has to make something, otherwise he is worthy of Lao Zhu.

Immediately, he smiled and said, "Big brother, don't worry, this business route will not be abandoned and will always be used." ”

"Southwest goods will always enter the Western Regions through this trade route."

The southwest is the southwest, and there is no problem to take this trade route, but the Central Plains region will naturally have its own trade route, that is, Hexi, go directly to Hexi, and then go through the Hexi Corridor directly into the 36 countries of the Western Regions, and the two lines are parallel and do not get in the way.

Hearing this, Ling Jianqiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But after thinking about it, he asked: "In this way, will the two sides coincide, so as to ......?"

Lin Bai smiled and said: "This is also one of the reasons why I came to send my eldest brother today, has the eldest brother ever thought about extending this business route?" ”

Extend?

Ling Jianqiu was stunned for a moment, and looked at Lin Bai in a little surprise.

"Not bad!"

Lin Bai nodded and said, "In addition to the Hexi Corridor directly leading to the Thirty-six Countries of the Western Regions, isn't there another place that directly leads to the Thirty-six Countries of the Western Regions?" ”

Ling Jianqiu's eyes lit up, "What does my brother-in-law mean by Tubo?" ”

"Yes!"

Lin Baidao: "Tubo itself is a huge market, and it can also go directly to the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions, as well as Dashi and Tianzhu, as long as this trade route is opened, even if the original trade route is abandoned, Lezhou Vientiane Country will not have any impact, and it will even become stronger and stronger, and there are Siam and other places in the south of Vientiane Country." ”

"These places are huge markets, so there's no need to worry about it at all."

Ling Jianqiu was obviously very excited, and hurriedly asked, "Brother-in-law is going to open up the trade road in Tibet?" ”

Lin Bai shook his head and said: "I will be very busy next, but I am afraid that I will not have that time, and I am not in the southwest, many things are inconvenient, but if I can, I will write a letter to Princess Tubo, I believe she should be interested, because once this trade road is opened, it will be of great benefit to both Vientiane and Tubo." ”

"Therefore, if the eldest brother is interested, he may wish to contact the princess of Tubo and join forces of the two countries to open up this trade route, and the southwest will assist from the side."

The great talent naturally will not say that the benefits of the southwest are greater.

You just have to open up the trade route, and the goods are all in the southwest, in Lichao, and then all of them pour into Lichao.

Of course, along the trade route, the benefits of the two countries are inevitable, so they can't resist such a temptation, and the talented people don't have to bother to open up the trade route, so that the two countries can toss and enjoy the fruits themselves.

There's no way, there's a lot of things to do in the back, and this kind of thing that others can do, let others do it!

Ling Jianqiu was obviously moved, and his eyes were bright.

Although the great talent said that the original trade road would not be abandoned, if the Hexi trade road was opened and the distance was shorter, the original trade road would inevitably be greatly affected, and once the Tubo trade road was opened, it would be completely different, and the fate of Lezhou and the business road would be in their own hands.

"Good!"

Immediately, he hurriedly said, "I'll start this matter when I go back, and trouble my brother-in-law to write a letter to Princess Tubo as soon as possible." ”
