People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 401 Money
This is a strategy against the Western Regions.

Li Zheng saw it, and Li Shimin saw it even more.

Songtsan Gampo's drunkard's intention is not to drink, he wants to be Xizhou, the richest place in the Western Regions.

Thus cutting off the connection between the Central Plains and the West, and using Xizhou to bring a lot of wealth to Tubo.

"There has never been a real king in Tubo. Songtsan Gampo ruled Tubo, and I admire his ability. Now it seems that Songtsan Gampo has a long-term vision. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely fight with Songtsan Gampo." Ganbu conspired to get drunk."

Li Ji felt strange, His Majesty's words seemed to have a feeling of sympathy with Songtsan Gampo.

Li Shimin said to Wang Ding in a low voice: "Prepare the decree, bring the tiger talisman, and send messages to Yu Chigong non-stop, let him cooperate with Li Zheng's arrangement, take down the Tubo army west of Qilian Mountain, and let the Western Turks take it back from the Tubo people. their territory."

"Here!"

Hearing these words, Li Ji asked unexpectedly: "Your Majesty, are we going to participate in this war between Tubo and Western Turks?"

Li Shimin shook his head, "We're just going as far as we can."

Li Ji lowered his head again, "Li Zheng gave a lot to Western Turks this time."

"According to Li Zheng's orders, if Li Zheng does something wrong, he will have to pay for it himself."

"Here."

On the second day, Mou walked out of the city gate as soon as the gate of Chang'an City opened. As it is still daylight today, there are very few pedestrians outside the city.

At the gate of the city, I bought a carriage and a few horses with relatively good stamina. After walking five miles west of Chang'an, there was indeed a caravan carrying a carload of goods.

This caravan looks like a simple caravan, but it is actually an army of the Tang Dynasty.

The men delivered the goods in silence.

Mo Wei joined the caravan very naturally and walked ahead, and the speed of the caravan became much faster as he joined the caravan.

All the checkpoints encountered along the way, after these soldiers took out the tokens, they didn't even interrogate and interrogate them, and let them go directly.

Mo Wei became more and more certain in his heart that Li Zheng's business must have the nobleman from Chang'an involved, otherwise how could it be so smooth.

After walking for half a month, Mou got in touch with people from West Turkic. After both parties confirmed that it was correct, they paid the money and delivered the goods, and the deal was quickly concluded.

The people of Western Turks were also very generous, and all they gave were gold and silver cakes.

The weapons here are the same and the same, and there is even extra food.

Movo followed the Western Turkic people to continue to the territory of the Western Turks. Today, the Western Turkic people respect Movo very much.

It was the first time they saw a Turkic man who could buy Tang's weapons with such great powers.

Li Ji's men also walked back to Yanmen Pass with cartloads of gold and silver cakes.

In Jingyang, Li is working on the wasteland that has just been opened up, teaching the villagers how to grow cotton.

The earliest record of cotton is in the Song Dynasty.

The specifics of how it was introduced to the Central Plains are no longer available, but there are no records of widespread planting until the Song Dynasty.

Du Hu ran over and said, "General, the things are here."

Li Zheng handed over the cotton seeds in his hands to Li Zhi and Daniu, and asked them to continue planting cotton.

Back in the stables, Li Zheng saw the carts of goods.

Lifting off the black cloth covering it, a piece of yellow and white gold and silver cakes caught the eye.

"I'm rich." Li Zheng picked up a piece of gold to try the weight, and the weight was not bad.

Working by Li Zheng's side, Duhu had never seen much money since he was a child, even he was numb now, every time Li Zheng used money in and out, it was transported by truck.

I never knew that Li Zheng had a lot of money, but I just knew that even though he was so rich, Li Zheng was still careful about every penny.

With a wealth of wealth, he still cares about the income of a few pennies. Duo wondered more than once in his heart, could it be that the rich people in Chang'an are also like this?

Li Zheng divided half of it, counting a total of [-] worth of gold.

As for the remaining silver cakes, they belonged to him.

People in Western Turks seem to be not very good at arithmetic. According to the market price of one tael of gold in Chang'an is about one hundred guan, the market value of gold here is 16 guan, and there are about 160 catties of gold.

Adding the remaining 28 catties of silver cakes, the total is [-] guan, which is too much.

Li Zheng said to Dahu: "Dahu, you have to remember to learn arithmetic well, so that you don't even know if you make a wrong calculation."

"Understood." Dui nodded.

Li Zheng packed all the gold in a carriage and said to Du Hu: "Call Li Ke."

Du Hu left in a hurry, and it took half an hour to call Li Ke.

When Li Ke came to the stables, he saw that a large pile of gold jaws on the edge of the stables were about to fall to the ground.

"Has His Royal Highness the King of Shu seen so much gold?" Li Zheng asked.

Li Ke shook his head vigorously, "I've seen gold leaves, and it's the first time I've seen so much gold when I grow up so old."

Li Zheng said to Li Ke: "These golds belong to His Majesty. I think it's best for you to give it to Your Majesty."

Li Ke looked at Li Zheng, "Why do you want me to send it?"

Li Zheng nodded, "Help me run errands, I think His Royal Highness the King of Shu won't mind, I can't afford to ask someone else to deliver the letter for so much money."

Li Ke took a step back and said, "You can ask Qingque to send it."

"His Royal Highness King Wei is busy compiling Kuodizhi, and His Royal Highness Jin Wang is still young, and the only one who can help is you."

Li Ke nodded, "Okay, I'll help you."

"Then leave it to His Royal Highness the King of Shu."

Li Ke drove the carriage full of gold and left the stables slowly.

The situation of Li Ke, the king of Shu, was not very good in the court. Because of his background, he was not so popular in the court. Sending Li Ke to think about it would make Li Shimin's impression in front of him better.

Playing around with everyone, Li Zheng felt that he was becoming more and more like Mrs. Ah Qing.

The rest are his own, and Li Zheng is planning to share a sum of money with everyone involved in this business.

Li Ji must send some over, and at least express some.

There are also generals who pass through the checkpoints along the way, but the money cannot be sent by yourself.

Li Ji has always been in one-way contact.

I don't know who the specific people are.

The gold has already been sent to Li Shimin.

Li Zheng handed out a pile of silver cakes, here are about [-] silver cakes.

Li Zheng handed Dahu a piece of silver cake, "This is for you."

Du Hu quickly shook his head, "General, I can't take it."

Li Zheng said, "It's for you to marry a wife."

Du Hu said, "I still can't accept it."

Seeing Dahu's attitude, Li Zheng had no choice but to give up and said to him: "I'll give it to you when you marry a wife in the future."

Portion these silver loaves and cover with a pile of meat dishes.

Together with Dahu, they drove the ox cart and walked slowly towards the Longwu army garrison.

With so much money, Du Hu was a little nervous, and kept observing the movement around him. It seemed that a group of robbers would come out to rob at any moment.
