Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 466 Concerns
The three words Yingying seemed to have magical powers, and Shen Faseng's mouth was blocked. After a while, he whispered: "Sanlang, our industries in Baekje and Wa, as well as the sugar farms in Ryukyu, are planning There are so many things to do that are just on the track, but now they have to send troops to fight Goguryeo. That Quangai Suwen is also real, why don’t we live for five more years? In this way, our affairs are all--"

"Fa Seng! The world is impermanent, how can everything be as you wish?" Wang Wenzuo laughed.

"That's right! Impermanence, impermanence!" Shen Faseng sighed bitterly: "You know? The honey and medicinal materials we are waiting for are all ridiculously cheap. As long as they change hands, the profit will be several times, and those Mohe people also like our goods very much. It is really stupid to fight a war without doing a good business!"

"Didn't you say that those Mohe people don't do business with Tang people, and you pretend to be Japanese to do business?"

"Fart!" Shen Faseng spat: "Those guys said that, but when they saw the goods we brought, their eyes were straightened, and it doesn't matter if you are a Japanese or a Chinese, I don't believe they can't tell that there are all Chinese on board. Just pretending to be stupid and refusing to pierce that layer of window paper!"

"So that's how it is!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile, "Those Mohe people are not stupid!"

"A fisherman, a hunter, and a farmer may not be smart, but a businessman would be stupid!" Shen Faseng sneered: "When we were sent away, each of us had tears in his eyes, just like dead parents. Be careful on the way, next time you come to the boat, put more silk on board, as much as they want."

"Hehe!" Wang Wenzuo laughed: "Really? What do those Mohe people want silk for? They all live in the forest, hunting and catching fish, so it's inconvenient to wear silk clothes!"

"Sanlang, you don't understand this. There are rich and poor among Mohe people. The poor wear birch bark, and the rich wear satin leather robes, which is a layer of satin on the surface of the leather robes. Keep warm. A piece of satin can be exchanged for more than a dozen top-quality mink furs if you sell it to the Mohe chief in the inland area!" Having said this, Shen Faseng lowered his voice: "The Mohe people also said that if we want it, they can sell people! "

"Seller? What do you mean?"

"It's a raw mouth!" Shen Faseng laughed: "I heard them say that Heishui Mohe in the north is even poorer. They want Tang goods but have no money to buy them. Only people can sell them. Sanlang, don't you have hundreds of Japanese children's soldiers training?" Is it? In my opinion, it would be better to just buy hundreds of Mohe people. At the age of seven or eight, Mohe people can shoot squirrels and birds in trees with small bows. After buying it and practicing it for three years, it will come in handy! Hard-working, simple and brave, much better than the Japanese, and it doesn’t cost much, it’s just a matter of thousands of pieces of silk!” At this point, he saw Wang Wenzuo With a look of unbearable expression, he said with a smile: "Sanlang, you are softening your heart again. In fact, this is to help those barbarians. The weather over there is bitterly cold, and every winter is a ghost gate. Instead of staying in the tribe and starving and freezing, it is better to come out and serve as a soldier. Save the stuttering for others!"

"Forget it, I'll leave this matter to you!" Wang Wenzuo nodded.

"Don't worry, it's all on me!" Shen Faseng patted his chest, when Pugu brought up the food and wine, both Shen Faseng and Wang Wenzuo were really hungry, and immediately started to gobble it up.

Azhiluo and Dahe Huaien had just heard about Wang Wenzuo's official position, and they all shrunk their necks and kept silent for fear of causing trouble. Later, seeing Wang Wenzuo and the others sitting down to eat and drink, nothing much happened, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Dahe, this guy doesn't have much airs. If it's someone else, I'm afraid everyone here will be kicked out to make room for him!" Ah Zhiluo said in a low voice.

"Yes!" Dahe Huai'en took a sip of the food and said in a low voice: "I've heard about him before. At that time, I thought it was mostly a lie. Now it seems that it may not be!"

"How to say?" Ah Zhiluo asked with great interest.

"How old do you think that person is?"

"Thirty or so?" Ah Zhiluo took a peek at Wang Wenzuo: "You are so young, and you are a fifth-rank official at such a young age. His family ancestors were founding nobles, right?"

"No!" Dahe Huai'en shook his head: "he was similar to you now four or five years ago, just a small official in charge of hundreds of people!"

"It's about the same as me?" Ah Zhiluo was startled: "How is this possible? What did he do, and he can be promoted to the governor of a government in four or five years?"

"What did you do? It was shot down with one knife and one gun!" Dahe Huai'en smiled: "Don't you really believe it, I have a drinking buddy named Wang Zhaotang, and I worked with him under the city of Pyongyang. My drinking buddy told me!"

"It was shot with one knife and one gun?" Ah Zhiluo looked up again, just as Wang Wenzuo and Shen Faseng were happy to talk, and laughed.He shook his head: "I really can't tell!"

"Yes! In his early thirties, he is the governor of a town, commanding tens of thousands of troops, and above that, he is the chief minister of the governor's mansion. In his early forties, he can become a general and a prime minister!" Dahe Huai'en sighed: "The virtuous and the unworthy The difference is really between heaven and earth!"

While Dahe Huai'en was feeling emotional, a voice suddenly came from outside. Wang Wenzuo put down his cup and frowned. Cao Wenzong gave a wink, and a guard went out, and came back in a blink of an eye: "Captain, there is a team of people and horses outside. There was a little conflict between our people, and the leader claimed to be the local keeper! How to deal with it?"

"Catcher?" Wang Wenzuo frowned. He came all the way, and the time was very tight. Liaodong is not as dense as the inland counties. There are often only a few villages in a radius of more than a hundred miles, and there are no people at all, so there is no contact with the local area. Official notification.

"Please come in the leader, I will tell him if there is anything!"

"Yes, Governor!"

A moment later, a red-faced officer came in from the door, his face was full of anger. He saw Wang Wenzuo's face at the wine table changed drastically, and he quickly bowed and said, "I don't know that the king's governor is here, and the disrespect is still there." Please forgive me!"

"You recognize me?"

"My lord, Wang Zhaotang, I once met Wang Dudu at the gate of Pyongyang!"

"Below Pyongyang City?" Wang Wenzuo tried hard to recall for a moment, and then remembered: "Yes, yes, yes, it was you! I remembered that you were the one who greeted me back then. I'm really sorry. It's been too long. I I didn't remember it all at once!"

"Where's the matter! Wang Dudu has a lot of things to do, so it's normal not to think about it for a while!" Then Wang Zhaotang saw that Wang Wenzuo thought of himself, and smiled triumphantly: "Just now, the last general saw that the soldiers outside were a little different from my Tang soldiers. Also, I thought it was sent by the Goguryeo thieves, so I came to inquire, and if I offended, please invite the king's governor Haihan!"

"Most of the guards under me are Baekje and Japanese. It's normal for you to think it's abnormal!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "I can't help it either. The Xiongjin Governor's Mansion is overseas, and there are not many Tang soldiers who are willing to stay and guard. If you don’t use Baekje and Waren, no one will use it!”

"Wang Dudu has a great reputation and won the hearts of barbarians!" Wang Zhaotang complimented a few words and was about to leave when he accidentally saw Da He Huai'en at the long table next to him, and was taken aback: "Brother Da He, why are you here?" ?”

"The last general, Dahe Huai'en, the chiefs of the lower part of the Songmo Dudu's Mansion, and the Anton Dudu's mansion as the shooting general, meet Wang Dudu!" Dahe Huai'en only felt that he was unlucky, and he didn't expect that he would meet him in this wine shop. Acquaintances, what is even more unexpected is that this acquaintance actually knows the king's governor, and now he can't pretend to be stupid.

"My brother is a well-known shooter general in Yingzhou, and also a nobleman among the soldiers. He is used to being lazy on weekdays. If he was rude just now, I ask the governor to forgive me!" Wang Zhaotang smiled and congratulated Huai En on his behalf Pleading for mercy, I just said that the matter of He Huai'en is small if you say it is big, but it is big if you say it is big. In the army, the distinction between upper and lower classes is the most important. He knows that Wang Wenzuo's official position is far higher than his own, but he asks him to drink and eat meat on the sidelines. However, if Wang Wenzuo was investigated, it would be no small crime.

"Da He Huai'en, Songmo Governor's Mansion?" Wang Wenzuo looked at the man in front of him. In his memory, after Tang defeated Goguryeo, the management of the Northeast, but the Korean Peninsula, was not successful. It was divided among Luo, Bohai and Khitan.The only advantage Tang got was that these forces were mutually restraining and unable to go deep into Tang's Hebei area. However, within a few years, the Anshi Rebellion occurred. It was not the Chang'an court's turn to worry about things.

The Songmo Governor’s Mansion was originally the administrative institution of the Tang Empire to manage Khitan, and the Khitan people also became the powerful eagle dogs of the Tang Empire in the northeast region. However, from the perspective of later history, these Khitan people should have happened shortly after Goguryeo was wiped out. The rebellion became an important threat to the Tang Empire in the Northeast. The Dahe Huai'en might have played a considerable role in this rebellion.

"Wang Dudu?" Seeing Wang Wenzuo's silence, Wang Zhaotang thought that Wang Wenzuo was already angry, so he gritted his teeth: "The Dahe clan is a noble family in Khitan, and the Dahe brothers had to give the surname Li, so they offended—" "

"Nothing!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "I just remembered an old incident, and I don't mean to blame you two! Get up!"

"Thank you, Commander Wang!" Dahe Huai'en and the others breathed a sigh of relief and stood up. Wang Wenzuo asked someone to move another table to put it together. Everyone sat down again and asked, "Liucheng is an important town in Anton, how are you doing recently? "

"What else can I do?" Wang Zhaotang said with a smile: "Quan Gai Su Wen is dead, everyone knows that the army will be dispatched, and decades of old grievances will be avenged today! Everyone is waiting anxiously!"

"Well!" Wang Wenzuo turned his eyes to Dahe Huai'en: "What do you think?"

"The people of Goguryeo have run out of money all these years, and they are only supported by a false fire!" Da He Huai'en said: "The death of Quan Gai Suwen, this false fire is gone, and the demise is just around the corner!"

Wang Wenzuo nodded noncommittally. Compared with these middle- and lower-level officers, he had far-reaching considerations.Judging from the Tang Empire’s handling of Baekje, after the elimination of Goguryeo, the most likely way for the empire to deal with it is to move the middle and upper-level personnel of Goguryeo to the interior, and then divide it into several Jimizhou counties, and the Andong Duhufu governs .The advantage of doing this is that it will attack the power of Goguryeo's restoration of the country. After all, Goguryeo was founded in the Western Han Dynasty. 800 years ago, the centipede was dead but not stiff; the disadvantage is that it exacerbated the problem of the sparsely populated local area, but Tang couldn't take it. If the population of the country is used to fill the vacuum, the result is that Mohe people, Khitan people, Silla people and other ethnic groups will replace them. If one is not handled well, all previous efforts will be wasted.

"Everyone!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile, "Do you all think that Goguryeo will be destroyed in this battle?"

"That's right!" Da He Huai'en said: "Quan Gai Su Wen died at this juncture, Goguryeo's luck has declined, and it cannot be restored by manpower!"

"Then how do you think that after the destruction of Goguryeo, how can its hometown be kept in peace for a long time and become a vassal of the Tang Dynasty?" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile.

Da He Huai'en and the others exchanged glances with each other. They didn't know why Wang Wenzuo would suddenly ask this question, which was not suitable for their identities.Wang Wenzuo saw the thoughts of several people, and said with a smile: "I will ask casually, and you guys will just talk casually. It is right that I will come to serve in the Anton Governor's Mansion next, so I will ask you locals first."

Da He Huai'en and the others changed their expressions slightly when they heard the words. Although Wang Wenzuo spoke in a joking tone, they didn't dare to take it as a joke.Dahe Huai'en stood up and pointed to the left and right: "Dudu Wang, look at this restaurant, all the people sitting there are Han people, Mohe people, Tiele people, Sogdian people, and Turkic people, you How do you think they are doing?"

Wang Wenzuo looked around: "Although it's a bit messy, it seems to be doing well!"

"Captain, you really have good eyesight!" Dahe Huai'en said with a smile: "Don't look at these people's tattered clothes, but they all live a good life. In the Central Plains, they can be regarded as wealthy households. Let me give you the one just now." The guy in the seat, he is a pig breeder. His family alone has four to five thousand pigs. Every autumn, the bacon he sells can fill dozens of carts. Eating offal is full of oil!"

"Oh? That's really amazing!" Wang Wenzuo laughed: "It turned out that such a rich man gave way to me, but I didn't realize it!"

"It's not your fault, we are not the same as the Central Plains, even the rich don't wear gold, silver, or silk!" Dahe Huai'en said with a smile: "Among these people are those who herd pigs, cows and horses, and some Beekeepers and herbalists, as well as gold diggers, are doing well. But they are only afraid of one thing!"

"Oh, what is it?" Wang Wenzuo smiled.

"The government sends people to collect taxes, distribute labor, and various checkpoints and official documents, then they will not be able to survive!"

Dahe Huai'en boldly said this, and closed his eyes to wait for Wang Wenzuo's scolding, but he didn't expect to wait for a long time. Just when he was about to open his eyes, he heard Wang Wenzuo laughing: "This What's so strange, don't say it's you, even I'm afraid!"
