It was already late at night, but Fang Chongyong still did not sleep peacefully. Instead, he borrowed a "County Chronicle" of Zhangye County and flipped through the pages under an oil lamp.

The earliest national local chronicle in China was the "Yuanhe County Map Chronicles" compiled by Li Jifu of the Tang Dynasty in 813 AD. It summarized local chronicles with different versions and formats from all over the country and unified them into a set of books.

Although that is something that will only happen decades later, there are still books in the accounting offices of various states that record local population, geography, related history and even strange things. Zhangye City was once the "All Nations" of Emperor Yang Guangkai of the Sui Dynasty.

In a place like "Exposition", there will naturally be no shortage of such official records used to "sing praises and praise virtues".

"Lang Jun, why don't we leave Ganzhou? It doesn't matter whether we go to Liangzhou or back to Chang'an. It doesn't matter. There is really no need to accomplish nothing here."

Anaye on the side was not sleeping either, so she suggested cautiously.

She knew how big the trouble Fang Chongyong was facing, but she just couldn't do much to help.

Hexi is different from the Central Plains. If you are not careful here, it can easily lead to mutiny and popular uprising. Once something similar happens, the rebels will definitely lead the Tibetan army to take over, and the situation will be so fester that it will be impossible to deal with.

It just depends on how many heads Fang Chongyong has to chop off.

"This book is really interesting."

Fang Chongyong closed Zhangye's local chronicles and sighed deeply.

Fang Chongyong was not disappointed at all, because apart from a few of those things that could be sold at a bad price, some of them were worth mentioning. For example, the clay pots from the Han Dynasty, who would want those things?

"Your Majesty, do you still want to dig?"

Upon hearing that, Fang Chongyong hurriedly patted his chest and said, "Your Majesty is so generous! Worry, before we return to the camp, you asked us all to take off our clothes and search our bodies. Not even a single needle was hidden secretly."

"I understand, I'll do it then."

On the seventh day, the Blackwater Kingdom took Atuan, Xin Yunjing and others out of Zhangye City. Fang Xiaofu personally sent his son to Xihang Temple to become a monk. The ceremony was very grand. Of course, the Blackwater Kingdom can be present. I am sure I will be there.

, it is difficult for people to think of some strange things.

Are you kidding me? Who has the ability to fill such a big hole in the Autumn Defense Order?

Ma Yanping waved her hand in acknowledgment, not planning to go to bed yet.

"Of course you know, it will definitely happen. How can this be such a big deal?"

"Of course it's true."

"Your Majesty, that kind of thing, that kind of thing, is just a joke!"

A few days ago, a sandstorm hit Baishui City, burying everything in the sand.

"That's right."

Ever since, Ma Yanping's idea has always been to "break the situation", but to be a licking dog in Ganzhou and run for Ma Yan's political orders.

No matter how hard you struggle, it is useful!

During this period, Blackwater Kingdom has been frowning and meditating. It is easier said than done. Sometimes, the idea is very bad, but in the process of execution, it will encounter few setbacks. At that time, whether to choose to continue in depth or to be decisive

Stop loss is a test of one's wisdom.

"He should speak slowly... he's so sleepy."

Fang Chongyong persuaded without any doubts. Sometimes if Xiao Fang goes too far, it will arouse doubts.

It’s just that the envoy didn’t have any mission that time?”

Blackwater Nation waved his hands weakly and said.

"I must have found treasure here. So the tax that Brother Ji wants to increase shouldn't be increased, right?"

This rough big face is really boring to look at.

Because they were buried in the yellow sand, those things were very well preserved, but... they were all wanted by the Blackwater Kingdom.

When it comes to gold and silver, Xin Yunjing gets sleepy.

Can he do it? Since he can do it, he should do less things!

"Your Majesty, the Qiu Si people in Hexi have done many things like this. These Hu merchants often hate burying things. Before the news is leaked, we are polite and take it when it is necessary.

Blackwater Country wants to go to the old city ruins of Whitewater Country to see if there are any answers that I want.

It was very slow, one after another and not much was dug out.

"What about now?"

It can only be said that blessings and misfortunes are unpredictable, and the impact will be smaller than the autumn prevention order! The Blackwater Kingdom dares to play like that.

The same ones were sent to the Blackwater Country and placed neatly.

A soldier nearby shouted.

Heishuiguo held your shoulders and asked you to leave. He looked at you intently and said, "Hey, there are no small things about big things. He will just listen to what you have to say."

However, if you take it with empty hands, you are afraid that your brothers will feel secure if they hold it!"

If so, it is absolutely possible that in the Tang Dynasty, when technology had minimal development, the Hexi Corridor was still able to do things that it would be able to do hundreds of years later in the late Eastern Han Dynasty!

A Xiao Qin gold coin, probably from the Han Dynasty. Of course, that is very unusual, because outside the Baishui Kingdom ruins is the capital of the Dayue clan. As a chokepoint under the Silk Road, anything dug out there is rare.

, because they may all be traded goods under the Silk Road.

The location of the Baishui Kingdom ruins is a secret in the local area, and not many people want to try their luck there by digging around to see what rare things they can get.

Fang Zhongyong exclaimed in a high voice.

The yamen from Chang'an was really terrifying!

"That book contains a very boring story. I think he wants to hear it?"

"dig."

The sudden appearance of a small amount of hard currency such as gold and silver will only slightly push down the market price of local goods in the short term, and then the price of everything will rise.

"Go to the old site of Baishui Country and dig. Tell your brothers that the things you dig out must be handed over. When the time comes, you will take everything and share it all with us.

Guo Ziyi sent Fang Chongyong to help the Blackwater Kingdom, and I personally directed the others to build a regiment training camp. It was rebuilt on the basis of the original Zhang Ye Shou Capture Camp. It was really a success.

"You go back to Zhangye City first and continue digging tomorrow. Let's divide the things we have today among our brothers."

The Blackwater Kingdom asked Fang Chongyong to bend over and whisper to me for a long time. When I finished speaking, Fang Chongyong looked horrified and his hands were trembling slightly!

There are eight necessary conditions for smelting. The first is that the iron ore is too far away; the seventh is that the water source is far away from the smelting workshop and cannot be heated at any time; and the eighth is a stable fuel supply.

In the distance, that fuel was mostly charcoal in feudal times.

Blackwater Kingdom pondered for a moment and felt that now was the time to release some news to "show sincerity".

Xin Yunjing was interested in those fantasy stories and asked casually.

Because once the hole for increasing taxes is opened, the imperial court will not have any burden to increase taxes in the past.

Therefore, if the local officials on the Hexi side follow the leader's approach to "fill the holes", they have not chosen the wrong path. The more accurate the implementation, the less. Blackwater Kingdom understands this!

As soon as they met, Fang Chongyong got on his horse, came over and spoke to Heishui Kingdom in a high voice: "Those are veterans of the Baiting Army, trustworthy brothers. We all doubt that Fang Shijun will make a fortune with his old brothers.

Heishuiguo looked at Xin Yunjing and asked.

Blackwater Kingdom nodded slightly, thinking to himself: It is indeed a treasure, but it is not the kind of treasure he thought.

Xin Yunjing asked curiously.

As a result, when the Blackwater Kingdom's group came to the city, they saw Fang Chongyong and seventy Tang Army cavalry ready to go. They had not yet dragged their heavy ox carts with them, and they had not been waiting for a long time.

"But this has nothing to do with you."

What Ganzhou wants is not to mobilize manpower and material resources. No matter how much gold and silver is dug out, it is possible to change the basic resources of Hexi in a short period of time. What the Blackwater Kingdom wants is basically that effect.

"Really?"

"The digging needs to stop."

That story was recorded on the outside of that booklet, and of course, it was also copied from the Buddhist scriptures."

How different is it from opening a blind box!

For example, Han Dynasty-style pottery pots, Han Dynasty bronze mirrors, and even very few stone tools that were often seen after the feudal era.

This man Xian Bao specially held the gold coins dug out in his hands and handed them to Fang Chongyong.

There are few stories about Buddhism, and they often put gold on their faces. It is worse than saying that the sun rose before you raised your hand, or saying that it was only because you raised your hand that the sun will rise.

Fang Chongyong also knows that it is important to be careful when dealing with small matters.

However, in the Tang Dynasty, the smelting in the Hexi Corridor was completely abolished! All armaments relied on internal imports!

Ma Yanping made up a lie that hurt Xiaoya.

From that perspective, the difficulty I faced was actually smaller than that of an abnormal governor of Ma Yan. The purpose determines the means, and my purpose is "out of the ordinary", which means that it is possible to follow conventional methods.

I have watched documentaries in later generations, and it turns out that outsiders cannot dig out what I want, it just takes a little bit of luck!

Fang Chongyong glanced at Heishui Kingdom helplessly, then sighed and said: "That place has been visited by a few people a long time ago, and all the valuable and bad things have been taken away."

Fang Zhongyong didn't know what he was doing, and he knew how much he weighed. Ganzhou's appetite was too small, so he really had to wait for him!

It's just that there is a way to say those words to Xin Yunjing, who knows everything except medical skills and idioms.

Whitewater City naturally wants to look for it, but Blackwater Country is not looking for the gold and silver treasures, but to verify an idea in his mind.
