Zhang Xin's mouth was modest, but his face was proud.

He is one of the few people who is well-read, so he has a deeper perspective than others.

For more than a year, everyone else has been slowly developing on the business path they are familiar with.

Only he has quietly expanded the smuggling business to the interior of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, despite the fact that he is not visible among many smugglers, it is he who really makes a lot of money.

Today, almost all the state officials in the vicinity of Wu'an Prefecture have been bought off by these people.

These state capitals are also flooded with smuggled goods.

In this way, the smuggled goods cannot be sold at a high price, and everyone only makes some hard-earned money by relying on large quantities.

And Zhang Xin spared no expense to open up a trade route to the mainland, and directly sent his goods to Yongzhou.

Now, with the help of Xie Changxing, the governor of Yongzhou, his goods have already been sent to all parts of Datang along the dense water network of Yongzhou.

If someone else can earn ten yuan by selling a smuggled commodity, then Zhang Xin can earn at least fifty yuan by selling the same commodity.

Zhang Xin's smartest thing is that most of the goods he sells are low-end and low-end cheap goods.

In this way, there is no need to compete with other peers for the limited high-end market, and it will not attract the attention of the imperial court.

The group drank and discussed the next plan of action, and soon an afternoon was passed.

At this time, Duan Zhixuan, who was in Guangzhou City, was writing a letter to report to the imperial court on the difficulties of fighting pirates.

At this time, everyone, including him, was still unaware that a huge smuggling network had seriously affected the prices of many commodities in the surrounding area.

As soon as Rok Dong-chan and the others entered the territory of Gyeonggi Province, they were deeply shocked.

At this time, it is not yet the spring planting season, so many parts of Gyeonggi-do are still building roads.

Lu Dongzan and others can often see hundreds of workers working hard along the way.

It was strange to them that these people could often see a heartfelt smile on their faces.

Driven by curiosity, Lu Dongzan finally decided to investigate the situation carefully.

He really couldn't figure out why a group of people who were driven by the Tang Dynasty to work were so happy.

However, when he heard from a citizen that they could earn money from their daily work, his face suddenly turned a little pale.

It is not that Tibet has not been in contact with other countries, on the contrary, Lu Dongzan knows almost all the surrounding countries.

Today, all of these countries practice slavery, just like Tibet.

They can use almost all the people of the country to serve the country for free.

Even more than a year ago, Datang had a policy of free use of labor such as forced labor.

However, today's Datang will actually spend money to hire laborers to build roads.

This means that Datang's system is different from all the surrounding countries.

The people here are much happier today than in other countries.

And this also means that the Tang Dynasty is very rich now.

Will a Tang Tubo with strong force, happy people and very rich at the same time still have a chance to catch up?

Lu Dongzan and the others rode horses and walked blankly on the smooth cement road.

At this time, they had no intention of thinking about how convenient such a smooth road would bring to the people's travel.

All they thought about was how to survive by the side of the Tang Dynasty in the future.

It is impossible for such a powerful country to be unambitious.

Once Tubo submits the surrender letter, will there be a chance to get rid of the control of the Tang Dynasty?

As they got closer and closer to Chang'an City, Lu Dongzan and others were affected by the greater the impact on their hearts.

Exquisite carriages can be seen on the official road at any time.

From time to time, you can see something called a bicycle carrying a heavy load of goods at a rapid pace.

Almost all the people along the way were neatly dressed and said something shameful:

Many of the people were even better dressed than they were.

These people all had heartfelt smiles on their faces, but such smiles were rare to see on the faces of the Tibetan people.

When everyone finally entered Chang'an City, they were already shocked and a little numb.

Vehicles and horses shuttle back and forth on the spacious Suzaku Street, and the square across the wall is constantly bustling.

When they were arranged to live in the Honglu Temple, their eyes widened in shock by the luxurious decorations inside.

Bright marble floors, white walls, glazed windows, and candles that burn even in the daytime.

Lu Dongzan and the others cautiously followed the officials of Honglu Temple and walked up to the second floor.

They were afraid that they would accidentally break something here.

When they were arranged into their rooms, an even greater shock swept over them.

Toilets to be able to bathe in it, delicate showers, clean toilets and bathtubs.

The location of the wash basin not only has a variety of hygiene products, but also a large glass mirror.

There are few such large treasure mirrors in the whole of Tibet, because its price is too expensive.

The crowd was like a student and learned how to use various items under the introduction of the officials of Honglu Temple.

They even had to learn how to open the windows.

After the officials of Honglu Temple left, several people couldn't wait to enjoy the huge bathtub in the bathroom.

Although they didn't know where so much hot water came from, it didn't stop them from using it to wash away their fatigue.

After everyone had cleaned up, everyone felt as if they had lost a few pounds.

After Lu Dongzan and the others rested for a while, the official of Honglu Temple appeared in front of them again.

This time, I led them to the cafeteria to eat.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, they soon found that it was inhabited by envoys from many other countries.

The cuisine here caters to the tastes of officials from all over the world, and everyone can choose their favorite dishes with a plate.

At this time, Lu Dongzan and the others let go, and directly chose a bunch of delicacies that they had never enjoyed.

Anyway, in the eyes of the officials of Honglu Temple, he is no different from the villager, no matter how embarrassed he is, where can he throw it away?

After eating, the officials of Honglu Temple told Lu Dongzan that Li Shimin would summon them tomorrow morning.

After Lu Dong praised and thanked him, he took his mother. Chisang Yangton and the others returned to their rooms.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is today's Datang! How long will it take for my Tibetans to catch up? ”

Lu Dongzan said with a serious face.

Mother. Chisang Yangton and the others did not speak, and they could not answer such a question at all.

At this time, the mother. Chisang Yangton could only keep asking himself in his heart:

How ignorant were they to choose to be the enemy of such a powerful Datang?
