"A slave is 10,000 Tang Yuan, and this is a discounted price.

The chief general gave a special order that the slaves arrested in the Western Regions were all military merits I made.

If we don’t make more military achievements during this period, we will not have such a good opportunity in the future.”

Dafei also knew some news that the court would indeed manage the Western Regions as its own territory in the future.

Instead of the past policy of restricting states implemented.

It belongs to the Tang Dynasty in name, but in fact it should be done.

The Tang Dynasty only gained some face benefits, but the inner world did not gain any benefits.

This is obviously not Li Kuan's way of doing things.

"You're getting into the money.

But don't do it completely.

The chief executive means to pull a group of people and fight a group of people. If you treat them all as enemies, it will be difficult to rule this land in the future."

Although Xi Junmai also received similar tasks, he often wins over them.

Only when he encounters tribes that are ignorant of praise will he take action.

Therefore, the number of slaves captured by their Shunfeng Escort Agency was far lower than that of Dafei's slave-catching team.

Of course, the main task of this Shunfeng Escort Agency is to protect various caravans.

It's not like Dafei, just be busy catching people.

"There is no way, the chief executive said it too.

When the imperial court used troops to the Western Regions, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince told the Ministry of Revenue that this war does not require the allocation of funds from the Ministry of Revenue.

At that time, military expenditures can be made up by selling spoils, and even help the Ministry of Revenue make some money.

Nowadays, there should be no problem with military expenditure, but to stabilize the Western Regions as soon as possible, cement roads from Suzhou to Yizhou, Yizhou to Xizhou, and Xizhou to Yanqi City must be built as soon as possible.

It is best to complete the construction next year and start the construction.

In this way, the money is naturally needed.

And the demand for manpower is also very large.

Although we have captured tens of thousands of cannibals, it is still not enough to build so many cement roads."

After Dafei said this, Xi Junmai couldn't find any reason to mock him again.

Although they were born in Hu, they were indeed very concerned about the cause of the Tang Dynasty.

Even Xi Junbu did not do anything better than him.

"The court should only ask for the construction of cement roads from Suzhou to Yizhou, and did not agree to the construction of other roads, right?

The Ministry of Revenue will definitely have any objections if the chief executive starts to arrange the construction of other roads without authorization, right?"

Xi Junmai thought about it and expressed his questions.

"If the Ministry of Revenue needs funding, they will naturally have questions.

However, if these roads are not required to be built, the Ministry of Revenue will not require funding, and the Longyou Road marching chief will do it himself.

So what reason do those people from the Ministry of Revenue have to make their opinions?"

Dafei obviously was not worried that Su Dingfang and the others would be blamed.

Not to mention Su Dingfang's actions, he must have figured out what Li Kuan meant.

It doesn't cost the imperial court's money, but it can do things well, so there is no reason for others to scold them.

"Is this the reason why the chief executive asked you to capture more slaves, or even link the matter of capturing slaves to military merits?"

Xi Junmai quickly figured out the truth.

Can do things without causing trouble to the Ministry of Revenue.

There is naturally no reason for such a person to be blamed.

"What do you think? Mr. Xi's escort leader, your Shunfeng escort agency provides escort services to so many caravans.

I guess I also know the energy behind these caravans.

As long as we find more materials to exchange with caravans in the Western Regions, we don’t have to worry about not having enough money in the Western Regions.”

Dafei's words came to the point.

By using market-oriented methods to operate some things, the possibility of success will be higher and various losses will be lower.

For businessmen, as long as there is enough profit, everything will be easy to say.

If there is not enough food here in the Western Regions, they will transport food from Suzhou.

There were not enough iron tools in the Western Regions, so they transported iron tools from Suzhou.

As for the trade from Chang'an City to Liangzhou, Liangzhou to Suzhou, there will naturally be other caravans involved.

Or there will be caravans behind each caravan to participate.

"Dajun has processed a large number of cattle, sheep, horses and horses in the Western Regions during this period, as well as some other gold, silver and jewelry. If it is used to build some cement roads, it is indeed enough."

Xi Jun bought the news very well.

So he could easily understand what Dafei said.

...

In Chang'an City, Changsun bounced through today's "Da Tang Daily" and felt relieved when he didn't see any good news coming from the Western Regions.

Some time ago, the imperial court arranged a large army to go to the Western Regions, and many merchants followed suit.

The purpose is to take advantage of this opportunity to make a good fortune in war.

But Changsun Chong did not let his caravan participate.

On the one hand, this war was led by Li Kuan, and the Changsun Party definitely did not want to support it.

If you can not take the initiative to drag your back, you are already very enlightened.

Therefore, Changsun Chong did not want those businesses to gain any advantage after they went to the Western Regions.

In the end, after the hard work of the boat, I didn’t get any benefits and even suffered heavy losses.

This is the scene Changsun wants to see the most.

"Brother, during this period, a large amount of goods were shipped to Liangzhou every day and finally to the Western Regions.

Do we really don’t arrange for the caravan to follow the Western Regions?

In Chang'an City, not only did the Cheng family and the Yuchi family arrange caravans to set off, but even the Lu family of Fanyang, Zheng family of Xingyang and Cui family of Qinghe and others also set off on their way.

No matter who we can’t get along with, don’t get along with money.”

Changsun Wen was originally a figure who was the same as Changsun Huan.

Although the power of the Changsun Party declined very quickly, and Changsun Huan was arranged to go to Quanzhou to be responsible for tobacco cultivation.

Therefore, there were much less battles within the Changsun family.

But it does not mean that Changsun will support Changsun Chong so 100%.

"How do you know that arranging a caravan to go to the Western Regions with the army is a matter of making money?

Some businesses may not have a lot of understanding of the strength of cannibalism, but can we still not understand it?

There is no reason why His Royal Highness regards the cannibalism as our main opponent in the Tang Dynasty.

It is natural that they can defeat countless countries in just a few decades and become the most powerful country in the west.

Although our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are very brave, it is impossible to win a war so easily when facing double enemies."

Changsun Chong felt that the decision he made was not about being voluntarily, but about the correct choice made after careful analysis.

As for why other people make different choices from themselves, it is because these people selectively ignore the risks in order to flatter.

"This time the court arranged for hot air balloon camps and heavy armored cavalry troops to go out to war.

Judging from the past situation, they can win with less and more when they are on the move.

I think this time I will definitely win against the cannibalism.”

Although Changsun Wen's status in the family is completely incomparable to Changsun Chong.

But there is still a basic understanding.

"It's hard to say who won the war. It will take a further judgment until the war reaches a certain stage next year.

Now we just stand by and watch the fun."

After Changsun Chong said this, he didn't want to continue discussing this issue with Changsun Wen.

In his opinion, this issue has no value for discussion at all.

Time will prove that his judgment is correct.

However, at this moment, the butler Sun Kuan trotted in.

"Langjun, just eight hundred miles away, the horses returned to Beijing quickly. The army won a great victory in the Western Regions. The 100,000 troops of the cannibals are now almost gone."

Changsun Kuan's words were like a bolt from the blue, exploding on Changsun's head.

"What? The army destroyed the 100,000 troops of the cannibal so quickly?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!
