Datang first village

No lunch, no dinner.

The luncheon is because of the dinosaurs, and the dinner is because of the dinosaurs.

In the documentary about dinosaurs, King Qin’s favorite personal maid came to the stage to explain in a sweet voice, and dozens of generals cheered from the audience.

Li Yuanxing was sitting under a shed far away, biting a cigarette.Xin said, fortunately this is the Tang Dynasty, if it were placed in the Ming Dynasty, it would be disrespectful for a woman to come to power.Let your own woman go to the stage to explain, and you will be ridiculed even more.Even if it is the identity of the female official of the palace, it is the same.

The documentary on dinosaurs is over, and the film on the Great Qin Empire is next.

"Your Highness, for the sake of the law. Can't Gongziqian be pardoned? The loss of such a general in Daqin is the loss of a pillar of the country. It is sad!" Cui Yingying cried, crying because of Gongziqian's punishment.

"Da Qin!" A general who didn't know which one suddenly shouted, and the entire barracks fell silent instantly.

Li Yuanxing silently lit a cigarette. He could understand the shock that this scene brought to the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. The old army was suppressed, and the strongest general of the Qin Empire was tortured, staying behind closed doors.How big a blow this is to an army, is it worth it.

Many people cried, and the higher the status, the more emotional they were.

Even Li Xiaogong had tears in his eyes.

Li Yuanxing just closed his eyes slightly. For him, this kind of emotion was influenced by the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, not the TV. He had watched this film too many times.

In the next five days, there was no chance to have a banquet at all.

During the day, everyone's attention was on that pit.

And at night, before it was dark, they focused on the open space, preparing to watch movies and videos.

At noon on the seventh day, all of them were laid out to be a full twelve feet long, which is more than 30 meters according to modern calculations.

"Formation!" The guard general gave an order, and the soldiers of Datang set up the formation, leaving a passage.

Li Yuanxing rode a tall red horse, which was a real hard-earned horse presented by the Western Turks. It can be said that just putting this horse in the Eastern Turks could cause a life-and-death battle between the two tribes.

Accompanied by Li Yuanxing, Cui Yingying was wearing the formal attire of the princess of the Tang Dynasty, using brocade.

The most eye-catching thing is the necklace that Cui Yingying is wearing, which is more than [-] centimeters in diameter. In modern times, it is also the top pearl in artificial culture. The most amazing thing is that the pearls are seven colors. Let Cui Yingying look dazzling.

This is no longer gorgeous, this is a peerless treasure.

"Your Highness, I have almost found everything. I will continue to search for the missing parts. Two toes are incomplete, and the tail is missing a joint. Several joints on the neck are broken, but they can definitely be joined together." The general in charge respectfully standing in front of Li Yuanxing.

Li Yuanxing was wearing formal attire, and gave a military salute to the military formation of Datang soldiers: "Everyone, you have worked hard!"

"Die for Your Highness!"

"A mountain was almost dug up. Millions of catties of rocks were dug out, and nearly 3 baskets were filled with the excavated soil. [-] people worked hard for eight days, but fortunately, they were able to completely dig this. Let Brother Cousin ask for credit for you." At this point, Li Yuanxing changed his subject: "But, we must continue to work hard and dig as much as possible before the weather turns cold. See if we can find another complete one. The only missing part is to find it as much as possible.”

"Thank you Your Highness, Your Highness orders!"

As if someone taught it, tens of thousands of people responded in unison, which can be said to be earth-shattering.

Standing in front of the skull of the Great Xia Dragon, Li Yuanxing nodded in satisfaction.

"Your Highness, do you want to pack it?" Wei Ting asked.

"Seal the box! Send people back to Chang'an as soon as possible to urge the construction of the main gate of the palace, and the stone house in front of the palace gate that the king wants must be made of granite and pasted with black marble. Tell Glass Workshop that the outside of the two stone houses If the glass is not finished before the king returns to Chang'an, let the steward plead guilty in front of the king!"

Pleading guilty, who will Qin Wang Li Yuanxing punish?

Since Li Yuanxing opened the mansion, no one has been formally punished, but it doesn't mean that there are some people who are not afraid of the punishment of King Qin's mansion.Once the order to die is given, it must be done desperately. This is not only an obligation, but also an honor.

Wei Ting nodded: "I will make arrangements now."

After finishing speaking, Wei Ting turned around: "Your Highness orders, seal the box. The Sima in the army wrote a credit card and sealed it in the skull box. As a reward!"

One bone and one box, waterproof and shockproof.Just designing this box, the craftsmen put a lot of effort into it.This was more than twice as fast as Li Yuanxing's plan. Li Yuanxing originally planned to find the Great Xia dragon in half a month, but in fact the speed was doubled.

The banquet can finally be held.

Apart from eating and drinking, nothing was discussed at the banquet.Most of the food for the banquet is meat. Only Li Yuanxing ordered some light food. There is meat, but it is not the main thing.Li Yuanxing prefers comprehensive food instead of silly meat.

After the banquet, this formally sat down to discuss state affairs.

"His Royal Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, Gaochang occupies my city..."

"No, His Royal Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, that city originally belonged to my Gaochang Kingdom..."

As soon as they spoke, the two started arguing.

Li Yuanxing nodded silently: "This king has heard about this matter. Since you mentioned it in front of this king, it is for the sake of justice. This king thinks that if you both go back to collect evidence, whoever can prove the original ownership of this city, Datang will be the one." Support the ownership of this city. Both sides can send officials to debate with the historian!"

"This, this..." King Yiwu squeaked and fell silent.

"Thank you, King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, I, Gao Chang, will definitely present evidence!"

King Yiwu had negotiated in advance, and he had to back down.It's just a city.

Li Yuanxing narrowed his eyes, he was waiting, waiting for King Gaochang to show his sincerity.Because at this time, according to common sense, King Gaochang must also show his sincerity to Datang.

"His Royal Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, I, Tuyuhun, want to make friends with the Tang Dynasty. Can we open up two markets in Ganzhou, and allow merchants to trade once a year in spring and autumn!" Murong Shun, the third prince of Tuyuhun, said before King Gaochang.

"Yes, Tuyuhun merchants only need to abide by the laws of the Tang Dynasty when doing transactions. All Tang merchants who pass through the border will also abide by the laws of Tuyuhun. As for the business tax issue, Tuyuhun sent people to discuss with the foreign affairs department of the Datang Department of Commerce. Next year The market can open for the first time in the spring.”

Li Yuanxing didn't think there was anything wrong with opening the market, and he had to make certain concessions to Tuyuhun.

Murong Shun, the third king of Tuyuhun, got what he wanted, and then looked at King Gaochang. Li Yuanxing's eyes were also focused on King Gaochang's face.At this time, it was time for King Gaochang to show his sincerity.

But who would have thought that King Gaochang lowered his head, as if he was thinking about something.

Li Yuanxing is not in a hurry, because it is impossible for King Gaochang not to give him an explanation today.

"His Royal Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, in the seventh year of Wude, I, Gaochang, paid one tax per ten for Western Turkic merchants to cross the border. At that time, there were very few merchants in Tang Dynasty, and the transit fee was one tax per seven!"

Li Yuanxing didn't know what was going on in the seven years of Wude, so he turned his head to look at Wei Ting.

"Your Highness, what he said is not wrong. In the seventh year of Wude, this is the tax. However, they sent troops to escort them to ensure that they will not be harassed by any bandits in the Hexi Corridor. It is not so much a tax, but an escort fee."

Hearing what Wei Ting said, Li Yuanxing nodded: "King Gaochang is right."

"There was some chaos in the Eastern Turks, and the number of bandits increased. We in Gaochang increased the tax on Tang merchants to five to one, but we ensured enough troops and absolute safety. I, Gaochang, are willing to change this tax to twenty to one in the future. It’s just a small request, please allow His Royal Highness King Qin!”

King Gochang is making a request, what does he want?

Li Yuanxing was puzzled, but still nodded.

"Your Highness, that snow velvet cloth. I, Gaochang, request the exclusive right to trade [-] horses."

What is velvet cloth?Murong Shun, the third prince of Tuyuhun, didn't know, but King Yiwu did, and he also knew a little story.

The Western Turks got the exclusive right to trade in the Western Regions, but they didn't take it seriously.The merchants of Western Turks found out, and immediately took the note from the door to find the Changan chamber of commerce that sells velvet cloth. As a result, they found that the combined inventory of the two chambers of commerce was not enough for [-] horses, and it would take at least [-] horses. Wait until three months later.

The snow velvet cloth is as famous as the Yunjin winter clothing material in Chang'an, even if the nobles want to buy it, they need to book in advance.

This snow velvet cloth, received at the Chamber of Commerce in Chang'an, is even more expensive than Chang'an City even after adding various fees such as customs duties.But at this price, if Chang'an City is sold to the black market immediately, it can still earn [-]%.If it came from Datang, it would be [-] times the profit directly. If it can be sold to Dashi, or even to Daqin merchants, it will be directly weighed in gold at the border between Western Turks and Dashi. The horse is the market value.

This velvet cloth is half the value of gold in the transaction between Western Turks and Dashi merchants.

Li Yuanxing shook his head lightly, but he didn't intend to agree to it. If he agreed to this condition, it would be difficult to explain it to the Western Turks.

"His Royal Highness King Qin, we only have [-] horses in Gaochang, and we don't leave the Western Regions. Go south." King Gaochang begged him again, he knew how profitable this thing was.

How much profit is five thousand horses.Li Yuanxing knew in his heart that this was originally used as a political bargaining chip because the output was too low.A horse weighs about twenty catties and is the same length as silk, but it is heavier because of its weight.In other words, this is the value of fifty thousand catties of gold.When it comes to profit, Gao Chang is worth [-] to [-] catties of gold.

"My king agreed, but you must not go west, otherwise the stock will be out of stock. You continue to make demands!"

"His Royal Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, Xiao Wang wants to ask for a reward for himself, as well as the birthday of Xiao Wang's beloved concubine, so I dare to ask His Highness King Qin for something."

Li Yuanxing smiled: "What do you want?"

"It is rumored that His Royal Highness gave the Western Turks seven-color pearls, and Xiao Wang wants to ask for a string of seven-color pearl necklaces like the noble Princess Qin. I heard that His Highness has a horse that hurt its leg, and Xiao Wang can heal it!" Gaochang Wang said With a charming smile on his face, his hands were rubbing together obscenely. (To be continued.)
