Yipin Tang

Chapter 111
Wang Xiang originally only planned to build a trade market in Xizhou, but later he came up with a whimsical idea to create the Great Tang Chamber of Commerce, which was several times larger than the trade market, and it was set up in the middle of Chinatown by the Peacock Lake.

The commodity trade between Datang and Gaochang is all carried out in the Datang Chamber of Commerce. Datang officials and Xizhou officials are respectively the chairman and vice president of the Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber of Commerce also has special accountants and quality inspection personnel. necessary disputes.

Chinatown was also created by Wang Xiang. Because Xizhou has always implemented a policy of preferential treatment for businessmen from the Tang Dynasty, many Chinese settled in Xizhou. Thinking of the market outside Huaiyuan Town, he suddenly had the idea of ​​building Chinatown. If soup noodles had a store in Xizhou, it would be very popular.

This idea was absolutely supported by Ju Wenya, who wanted the people of Gaochang to live a prosperous and prosperous life like the people of Tang Dynasty.

With Ju Wentai's support, Wang Xiang immediately ordered people to clean up a wide street by Peacock Lake, and build shops on both sides of the street. These shops can be rented to Datang merchants in the future, or rented to skilled and profitable people like Lao Liu. The people of Tang Dynasty.

"With the strength of the Tang army, the countries in the Western Regions can be easily conquered, so why bother?"

Chu Niang has been helping Wang Xiang busy these days, and finally couldn't help but ask the question in her heart. She originally had the opportunity to follow Tang Jun back to Chang'an and take the opportunity to escape, but after following Wang Xiang for a few days She decided to stay here for now.

Hearing Chu Niang's words, Wang Xiang smiled. It wasn't the first time someone asked him this question.

"I never think that force is the fundamental way to solve problems. The Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette, and His Majesty is a wise king. What he does is kingly, not domineering."

Chu Niang asked curiously: "What is domineering, what is domineering?"

"Hegemony is the way of conquest. If it is done quickly, it can win a temporary victory, but it is not a long-term solution. When the opponent's wings are full, they will naturally fight back. The kingly way is the way of fusion. Although the effect is slow, it can subtly integrate the opponent. Come in, if things go on like this, the two will not distinguish between you and me, since there is no distinction between you and me, why is there any confusion?"

Chu Niang nodded thoughtfully: "So you build Chinatown here?"

Wang Xiang smiled noncommittally.

"Deputy Envoy Wang!"

Hearing this voice, Wang Xiang showed a helpless wry smile on his face.

Turning around, a heroic woman in military uniform ran over like a gust of wind.

"Miss Haitang, are you still not going back to Chang'an?" Wang Xiang only found out that Haitang secretly stayed in Xizhou a few days ago, just to learn martial arts from Tie Dan. Although he didn't like Hou Junji, Haitang and Hou Jun Ji is completely different, and he still likes this enthusiastic, cheerful and lively girl Wang Xiang very much.

Hearing Wang Xiang's question, Haitang flicked her ponytail and raised her head slightly: "I won't go back, I still have to practice martial arts with Tiedan. My father, Uncle Cheng, General Fang and the captain-in-law can't defeat that picture. Lu, Tie Dan must be very powerful to defeat him alone, I want to learn the most powerful martial arts from him."

Seeing Haitang's serious face, Wang Xiang smiled and said, "Why do girls learn such good martial arts?"

"I want to be a general like my father!"

"Are you not afraid that your father will send someone to take you back?" Wang Xiang shook his head and chuckled.

"Don't be afraid, Tie Dan said that if someone comes to arrest me, he will help me drive them away." Haitang giggled: "Sister Aqinu told me for me, Tie Dan seems to listen to Sister Aqinu very much." If so."

Aquinu is actually not much older than Haitang, but Aquinu is good at martial arts and takes good care of Haitang, so Haitang called her sister, maybe because they both like to practice martial arts, although Aquinu and Haitang have only met for a few days. very good.

"Why are you free to come to me today instead of practicing martial arts with Tie Dan?"

"Oh, I forgot, it's King Gaochang who is looking for you." Haitang stuck out her tongue embarrassingly.

Ju Wenya looking for me?Wang Xiang was a little puzzled. In fact, he didn't have much contact with the new Gaochang King. Before that, Changsun Wuji and Ju Wenya discussed everything.

Came to Xizhou Palace with doubts, Ju Wenya sat on the throne with a smile on her face, sitting next to him was Ju Yiya, with a face scarf on her face, when she saw Wang Xiang coming in, she quickly lowered her head, her eyes were flickering It seems a little nervous.

Sitting below were Mora and other Xizhou generals, obviously discussing something.

"I don't know why Your Majesty is looking for me?" Wang Xiang bowed to Ju Wenya. Anyway, Ju Wenya is now the King of Gaochang, and the proper etiquette is still indispensable.

Ju Wenya smiled and said: "Vice Envoy Wang, please sit down. I have invited Vice Envoy Wang here today to discuss my daughter's marriage."

Is Ju Yiya going to get married?Wang Xiang was just about to find a seat to sit down, when he heard Ju Wenya's words, he was startled and puzzled, so he was discussing marriage, but why did Princess Gaochang ask me to discuss her marriage?I don't know why Wang Xiang still felt a little disappointed when he heard the news that Ju Yiya was going to get married, and the expression on his face seemed a little unnatural.

It must be a lie to say that you are not tempted by a beautiful woman from the Western Regions like Ju Yiya. Besides, Ju Yiya is the only one who knows Wang Xiang's secret. The relationship between the two has also undergone subtle changes along the way. Unexpectedly, Ju Yiya Yiya is about to get married suddenly.

Seeing Wang Xiang's doubts, Ju Wenya said, "It's our custom in Gaochang that a princess takes a golden knife as a token of marriage."

Golden knife?Wang Xiang finally remembered that the golden knife that Ju Yiya bet on him was still in the warehouse. After arriving in Xizhou, Ju Yiya didn't take the initiative to ask him to get the golden knife back. I forgot about it, it turned out that the golden knife was the token of the princess's wedding, no wonder she had such a strange expression when she gave the golden knife to herself before, and asked herself to keep it a secret.

But Ju Wenya seems to know that the golden knife is with her now.

"Oh, that's right, the princess temporarily stored the golden knife with me, so I'll go get it right away."

What is temporarily stored, it is obviously mortgaged with you after losing a game of cards.Ju Yiya's pretty face, hidden behind the scarf, flushed red.

Ju Wenya raised her hand and smiled, "No hurry."

Not urgent?Wang Xiang didn't understand what Ju Wenya meant.

"I have told the priests in Xizhou to see the date. It will be an auspicious day in half a month. The marriage between Deputy Envoy Wang and my daughter is scheduled in half a month. Just take out the golden knife when the time comes."

Hey?Wang Xiang thought he heard it wrong.

"What did your majesty just say?"

"I said that the priests in Xizhou have seen the date, and it will be an auspicious day after half a month."

"That's not it. Whom did His Majesty mention about the princess's marriage just now?"
