Chapter 336 Volume 4 Chaos begins, killings abound.
In the sixth year of Zhenguan, early December.
It has been more than a year since Li Chengqian left Chang'an, and it has been more than a year since he came to the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
It is no exaggeration to say that this year has been more exciting than the decades he spent in his previous life.
From the beginning of being panic-stricken and striving for survival, to the time when he slowly gained a firm foothold and developed ambitions, his mentality also changed according to his situation and his own abilities.
He still remembers that when he first traveled through time, he only wanted to escape the Tang Dynasty, because in his perception, Li Chengqian failed to win against anyone, and ultimately ended up depressed, dying earlier than Li Erdu.
He wanted to escape, even if it was to live in a corner, as long as he could escape from Li Er's clutches, he would do it.
At that time, his greatest desire was to live safely and smoothly.
I am cautious in everything I do, fearing this or that.
Do you still remember when he left Chang'an?
Even if he had the chance to overthrow Cui Lu and others, he still didn't dare to do anything too extreme.
It's not an exaggeration to say that I have to endure my anger.
This shows how cautious Li Chengqian was back then!
But what now?
Now he wants to plot to Tuyuhun, he wants to occupy the manhole without shitting, even if they are not in Chang'an, he doesn't want others to interfere with his position in Chang'an.
He has changed. Over the past year or so, his mind has been changing subtly.
Maybe it's because his own strength is getting stronger and the goals he pursues are getting bigger and bigger.
I don't know when he started to associate the throne of the Tang Dynasty with himself.
Desire is hard to satisfy, this is human nature, no one can escape it.
"Your Highness, the caravan manager is asking for an audience outside the palace." At this moment, Chunhua came in and said.
Li Chengqian nodded.
Not long after, a man in his twenties walked in: "Tang Yueming is here to see His Highness."
Tang Yueming?
This name is a bit interesting.
"It's been a lot of hard work for you over the past year or so." Li Chengqian smiled upon hearing this.
"Your Highness is serious." Tang Yueming also smiled and said, "It's so hard to work for your Majesty and Your Highness."
To be honest, they have worked very hard this year. Although they have not done much business, a caravan has not made a penny for more than a year. For people who are just trying to make a living, this is naturally a shame.
But as long as there is some pursuit, who doesn’t want to make some achievements?
Therefore, being left alone by Li Chengqian for more than a year really put them under tremendous psychological pressure.
"As the old saying goes, it takes a thousand days to raise an army, but it takes only a moment to use it. Now it's time for you to take the stage." Li Chengqian said, "It's just been idle for more than a year, and the caravan..."
"Don't worry, Your Highness." When Tang Yueming heard this, he immediately understood what Li Chengqian meant and said immediately, "Today I heard that His Highness summoned his subordinates to enter the palace. More than 300 people in the caravan were inexplicably excited. It has been more than a year.
, everyone has been waiting for this day."
His words are not false, although now everyone has nothing to do every day, and his life is still smooth.
But having reached this point, who wouldn't want to make some achievements and rise to the top?
You know, they have unique advantages.
Li Chengqian nodded: "Okay, go back and prepare. I have a big business to hand over to you."
When Tang Yueming heard this, his face suddenly lit up with joy.
The wait is here, the wait is finally here.
Over the past year or so, he has witnessed Li Chengqian's ability as Tao Zhugong. Li Chengqian said it was a big business, so it would naturally not be small.
Now, they can finally return home in fine clothes.
Speaking of which, he has not returned to Chang'an for more than a year because he has accomplished nothing and is too embarrassed to go back.
"I will go back and make arrangements right now." Tang Yueming immediately bowed and left.
Li Chengqian nodded and didn't say much. After Tang Yueming left, he looked back at Chunhua and asked, "Is this Tang Yueming's real name? Shouldn't he be a eunuch?"
Chunhua chuckled when she heard this: "Your Highness may not know something, but Tang Yueming was born in the Tang family of Jinyang. He is considered to be from a well-known family, and he is not a chamberlain.
As for his name, it’s a coincidence.”
She naturally knew the meaning of Li Chengqian's question, and immediately explained it.
…
And where Tang Yueming and the others settled, everyone was looking forward to it.
It's been more than a year since I came out, and they are actually anxious.
Sometimes Li Chengqian's ideas are not entirely correct.
The bigger reason why these guys were willing to leave Chang'an in the first place was because they wanted to make some achievements.
How could someone who only wants to live a lazy life be willing to travel thousands of miles to come to this bitter and cold place in the northwest?
But Li Chengqian remained silent, so they could only worry.
"Manager Tang is back." At this moment, someone shouted.
Seeing Tang Yueming come back, everyone immediately asked: "Manager Tang, what do you mean, what does His Highness mean by this?"
"Get ready, His Highness may have some business to entrust to us." Tang Yueming said immediately, "The carriage, harness, horses, fodder, whatever is needed for the long journey, have been prepared for me.
If someone fails me, don't blame me for not saying hello in advance."
"Don't worry, we wipe the harness every day and it will be shiny by now." Someone said immediately.
Suddenly, many people started shouting.
It can be seen that they have been waiting for this day for a long time.
Even if they heard Tang Yueming's intention, they might have to travel in this cold winter, no one complained.
…
When the royal court of Ming Dynasty was prosperous.
However, Qihe County is exceptionally wonderful.
First of all, Yang Laoer finally embarked on a smuggling journey under the instigation of Huang Song and others.
For Yang Laoer, this is something that has always been on his mind.
Yang Laoer always feels like he has some serious illness. Maybe it's because he is young and doesn't like that kind of stable life, but likes this kind of life of licking blood from the edge of a knife.
Speaking of which, what kind of business is he in? It would be great to be a bandit!
So, if he is not unlucky, who is?
As soon as his team set out, Huang Song and others sold it to King Dingcheng.
If you want to say that there is any deep hatred between Huang Song and others and Yang Laoer, in fact, there is not. In the final analysis, it is just the existence of Yang Laoer that threatens their future prospects. It is as simple as that.
Can you say they are wrong?
It's actually hard to say.
With Yang Laoer's character, the future is indeed a time bomb. When they are in high positions, it is really possible for them to be packed up and taken away.
They cannot afford such a risk.
People are all selfish, what's there to say?
Chuihe County.
King Dingcheng also just returned from Fuqi City.
This smuggling of arms allowed him to take advantage of everything.
Firstly, it satisfied Murong Fuyun, secondly, it also made those guys a lot of money, and most importantly, it humiliated Murong Xiaojun, which made his reputation among the kings of Tuyuhun rise sharply.
It is ironic to say that in the past, when Murong Xiaojun was deeply trusted by Murong Fuyun, who would dare to show his teeth to Murong Xiaojun?
But today is different from the past, and who doesn’t want to climb up on Murong Xiaojun’s footsteps?
"Your Majesty, there is news that a smuggling caravan has entered the country from the Ming Dynasty?" Just when King Dingcheng was feeling proud, one of his subordinates came to report.
Upon hearing his subordinate's words, King Dingcheng's face suddenly lit up with joy.
What does he lack now?
What he lacks is his political achievements in combating smuggling. If he had impressive political achievements in this area, how could Murong Xiaojun compare with him?
"Where?"
The subordinate immediately said: "We have already entered the country, but the person who sold the information said that for the first cooperation, we will need 50% of the total price of the goods, and we must give it to him first. If we don't want it, he will sell it to King Gaochang."
"Give it to him!" King Dingcheng didn't even know that the price was actually ridiculously high, but did he care about this? What he cared about was political performance.
What's more, in his opinion, even if he gives 50%, he still makes a profit.
As for whether that guy would lie to him, he really wasn't worried.
There are really not many people who dare to blatantly lie to him as the king of Dingcheng.
