Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

On the second day, Uighur Prince Yehu took the initiative to invite the Tang army to fight again in Chang'an.

At the same time, Li Chu, the general of the world's soldiers and horses, also wrote to the court to prepare a new army in Guanzhong to assist Guo Ziyi in the battle against Chang'an together with the Uighur mercenaries.

Naturally, the imperial court approved the initiative of the Uighur prince, and four thousand elite Uighurs left Fengxiang Mansion and headed for Wugong City.

My Daxie Lifa has never received a response from the Tang court since he was summoned at the Great Court Meeting last time.

The marriage letter to marry the princess has been sent up, but the Tang court has no response.

It’s just that I, Daxie, let me have a haircut and live in the post station of Honglu Temple, but there was no response to the matter of asking to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty.

This Uighur old man could only live in Honglu Temple, and every few days he would go to Zhongshumen to submit letters again.

The news of King Jianning's defeat of the Uighur Khan came from Fengxiang Mansion. This was the only good news since Tang Jun's defeat of Qingqu. In addition, the fact that the Uighur army was flooded was so dramatic that it was widely spread in Fengxiang Mansion. Li Daoyuan went to the tea house to drink tea several times, and he heard Dr. Cha talking about the Battle of Jinshan vividly.

However, in their narration, there seems to be a bit of fantasy, and Cao Lingzhong has become a fierce general with two sledgehammers.

Although Li Daoyuan had never met Cao Lingzhong, he knew that the old man probably couldn't handle a sledgehammer.

Wei Jiansu did not stop the imperial edict that rewarded King Jianning and his generals. The prime minister Zhang Hao who was writing that day directly printed it on the imperial edict with the Zhengshitang seal, which became an imperial edict to inform the world.

For Emperor Li Heng, Zhengshitang was so obedient and obedient, which really made him very happy.

Li Heng finally understood why it was so fun to be the emperor's emperor!

For this Li Daoyuan who played a perfect match at the Great Court Meeting, Li Heng naturally did not hesitate to reward him.

However, Li Daoyuan did not accept those rewards for him personally, but proposed to Li Heng to establish the Longyou Dudu Mansion in Fengxiang Mansion to stay in the backyard.

It is also normal for feudal towns in various places to establish backyards in the capital, and Li Heng naturally approved Li Daoyuan's request.

He also specially allocated a big house and gave it to Li Daoyuan as a backyard. This house is not far from the temporary palace, and it can be regarded as the core area of ​​the entire Fengxiang Mansion.

As a result, the Liuhouyuan of the Longyou Governor's Mansion was quietly established, and the four players from the eastbound group became the first batch of officials in the Liuhouyuan.

Li Daoyuan served as the post-post envoy of the Longyou Governor's Mansion, and Zhang Duanyang, Zhou Shi, and Yu Xiaoxiao all joined the post-post envoys.

In the future, when the imperial court restores Chang'an, the backyard of the Longyou Dudu's Mansion will also go to Chang'an with the camp.

As the official institution farthest from the Longyou base camp, Li Daoyuan was only temporarily serving as an empress envoy.

Knowing the details, Li Yan urgently stopped Shangbo from inspecting the grassland trade station, and sent Shangbo to the backyard of Fengxiang Mansion.

Li Yan promised that Li Daoyuan and the others could continue sightseeing as long as Shangbo arrived at Fengxiang Mansion, and then used a large number of contribution points to stabilize the four players, allowing them to stay in Fengxiang Mansion to consolidate the good situation.

[Deputy Marshal of the World's Soldiers and Horses, +500 luck points per month]

Just such a title adds [-] origin points to Li Yan every month.

What is a mere [-] player contribution points!
The value of these [-] livestock!
Li Yan set his sights on Longyou. After the Battle of Zhangye, Hexi finally began to recover.

Among the three towns of Jiuquan, Zhangye and Wuwei, Wuwei City was the first to recover.

As the easternmost city in the Hexi Corridor, Wuwei is the gateway of the Hexi Corridor. Wuwei City has also been the junction of Han and Hu since ancient times.

Merchants are the most sensitive group to the current situation. When Tubo was defeated by Zhangye and the news of Shang Qixin'er's death spread to the rear, the merchants immediately rushed to Wuwei City with their goods.

Such a strong demand is due to the long-term isolation of trade between the East and the West.

Now the entire Central Asian region is a rare period of stability. Although there were several minor civil strife in the Abbasid dynasty, it did not hinder the increasingly extravagant enjoyment of the entire aristocratic class.

They have a growing demand for silk from the big eastern countries, and they are also flocking to the tea from the east.

A large number of food merchants are rushing to the Central Plains to buy more silk and tea.

Some merchants bought brightly dyed cloth in Jiuquan and planned to take some back to try to sell, but they still longed for soft silk.

Hu Bayi, who stayed in Zhangye City, was ecstatic when he heard the news that Wuwei City had been recovered!
When he was in charge of Wuwei City in Fangguan, he was exploited by the government. Originally, Hubayi was about to dismiss his staff and go home, but he happened to encounter the war in Zhangye.

Hubayi spent the last of his family wealth to fund Zhangye City's defense against the Tibetans, and he also went to the city wall to move bricks.

This battle finally ended with a big victory in Longyou. The [-] elites of the Tubo East were defeated in Hexi, and the vitality of the entire Tubo East was seriously injured.

I heard that King Jianning's partial division is attacking the Tubo East Road, and the Tang Dynasty reoccupied the Tubo East Road, oh, the Tuyuhun area is just around the corner.

In the newspapers issued by Zhangye, the Tuyuhun area has been defined as the territory of the Tang Dynasty since ancient times.

The crimes of the Tubo people oppressing the Xianbei, Han, and Qiang people in the Tuyuhun area were made public, and the people in Hexi were eagerly waiting for the royal family to quickly liberate these compatriots oppressed by the Pan dogs.

In any case, after King Jianning came to Longyou, he first defeated the Uighurs and then Tubo, firmly controlling this area.

Merchants who were once frightened rushed into Longyou keenly.

Merchants who have experienced the Kaiyuan era know how profitable a peaceful business route is.

The Silk Road was originally a huge profit, and now that Longyou has such good products, it is inevitable that the trade will prosper.

It's just that Hu Bayi has already spent all his capital. He originally wanted to return to his hometown to raise another sum of money, but suddenly received a post from the Zhangye Governor's Mansion.

"Invite me to the Governor's Mansion?"

Hubayi was a little puzzled, he was just a small businessman, and now even the caravan was gone, why did the Governor's Mansion invite him over there?
With doubts, Hu Bayi came to the Ganzhou Governor's Mansion in Zhangye City.

In Ganzhou Governor's Mansion, Hu Bayi saw many old friends and saw the greeting cards in their hands. Hu Bayi made sure that they all received the greeting cards from the Governor's Mansion.

When they came to the Governor's Mansion, this time they did not go to the majestic main hall, but were taken to a new building behind the Governor's Mansion.

It was built after the Zhangye War, and there are some strange signs hanging here.

Hu Bayi walked into a staircase-like classroom, and when he was seated, he saw Cui Tao.

This also made Hu Bayi very surprised. Cui Tao is the representative sent by the Jianning Palace to Ganzhou. Although his position is the Sima of the Palace to judge the military and political affairs of Ganzhou, everyone with a discerning eye knows that he is the most powerful person in Ganzhou. .

The original governor of Ganzhou has been sick and recuperating at home, and the important military and government affairs of Ganzhou have been taken over by the officials of the Jianning Palace.

Cui Tao was able to hold a meeting with the businessmen in person, which was also unexpected by Hu Bayi.

You must know that the governor of Yizhou is a high-ranking official dressed in noble purple. Although the Tang Dynasty did not say that businessmen are inferior, literati and officials still look down on businessmen.

Cui Tao looked at the businessmen below. These were all businessmen stranded in Zhangye because of the Zhangye War. In fact, there were many excellent businessmen like Hu Bayi who actively supported Zhangye.

Cui Tao summoned these businessmen today, naturally to let them resume their old jobs.

Longyou has defeated the Uighurs and Tubo in succession, and it is obvious to the naked eye that it will enter a new stage of stable development.

Even merchants from the Western Regions knew that the Silk Road would be unimpeded, and the trade in Hexi would be more prosperous.

How could Cui Tao, who manages the entire Xizhou, not understand this truth.

Cui Tao didn't waste too much nonsense, and said directly:

"You are all businessmen stranded in Zhangye. I know that many people destroyed their homes and rescued them because of the previous Zhangye battle. The governor's office remembers your contributions."

Hu Bayi was overjoyed when he heard the words, the governor's office still remembered his contribution?
Cui Tao continued: "Everyone is a businessman who often travels on business routes. Now that Longyou is in peace, the business travel trade will resume soon. We want to establish a chamber of commerce. Please join us."

Chamber of Commerce?

Many businessmen look at me and I look at you. This is the first time the businessmen have heard that the Governor's Mansion is going to set up a chamber of commerce.

In some small countries in the Western Regions, it is normal for the royal family to directly invest in chambers of commerce.

But I have never heard of the Datang government wanting to invest in the chamber of commerce.

Cui Tao coughed and said, "It's not that Zhangye Governor's Mansion wants to set up a Chamber of Commerce, it's Jianning Prince's Mansion that wants to invest in a Chamber of Commerce."

After this sentence was finished, everyone understood.

It is very reasonable for the princes of Datang to invest in the Chamber of Commerce. You must know that there are not a few high-ranking officials in Datang who invest in businessmen.

Since it was invested by the Jianning Palace, everything made sense.

Businessmen have also visibly relaxed.

Cui Tao sighed in his heart. The concept of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business for thousands of years has made the government invest in business under the skin of King Jianning.

Just like the Manufacturing Bureau and Shipbuilding Department of Ming Dynasty in later generations, they all have to list the industries in the palace.

Although emphasizing agriculture and suppressing merchants did guarantee food production, suppressing merchants also protected the power of feudal landlords.

But it is also because of this that later generations did not seize the development opportunity of the great geographical discovery, and fell into decline.

Taking back these messy thoughts, Cui Tao said:

"According to the proportion of investment, we will jointly establish a caravan of the palace, and share dividends according to the proportion of investment every quarter."

Shares and dividends have already existed in the Tang Dynasty, and it is not difficult for businessmen to understand.

But how can a poor ghost like Hubayi spend money to contribute?

I only heard Cui Tao say: "The patriotic businessmen who funded the governor's mansion in the Zhangye battle before can get the equity compensation from the Wangfu chamber of commerce."

"The vehicles, mules and horses in everyone's hands can be converted into shares according to the market price."

All the businessmen present were smiling, and Hubayi was even more excited.

At this time, a businessman stood up and said: "Of course we support the establishment of the Wangfu Chamber of Commerce."

"His Royal Highness King Jianning wants to buy shares. Those who don't know how to buy shares are dry shares, right? But this chamber of commerce needs capital to operate, so we can't let everyone pay for it?"
