Chapter Fourteen: All Bad Seeds

After the release of the "Labor Change Cement Plan", Puqi County and Junshui Town were a little excited. Of course, the mud legs were not excited. The 200,000 kilograms of cement had nothing to do with them. The wealthy families thought about getting some children to do their own work. Not only did they save several months of grain subsidy, but they also picked up a reservoir for irrigation of water and made a big profit.

As for the ponds and dams on both sides of the Junshui River... it is my bird business, I came out to make soy sauce.

To put it bluntly, these landlords and powerful people just learned from the King of Jiangxia to Xiu's Mansion and wanted to set up a name. Fortunately, the Ministry of Works and Water Affairs Department would go through so as not to be cheated by the bitch of Fengpusi.

"Haha, these insects, just two thousand stones of cement, have been used as a strong man to work. This is really..." Old Li remembered that he was messing around in Fuzhou and cheating, so he could gather three or five thousand people to renovate the embankment and build terraces. But once he arrived in Ezhou, this matter was simply speechless.

"The bustling crowds are all for profit. In the past, if the labor service was not for rations, who would have been willing to go to work? If the court had no swords and guns, I'm afraid it would have to fight you with sticks."

"That's true, this is the case in the former Sui Dynasty."

Old Li wiped the tea from the corner of his mouth and asked, "Fuck him, I heard that Zhang Daxiang is coming to Jianghan?"

"Why do you want to reminisce about my brother?"

"I'm so old, I just feel strange, how could he be willing to leave Chang'an City?"

"It's not my own business, it's Xue who entrusted the relationship."

"oh……"

Old Li clapped his palms, "Which child? Did he follow the King of Wei or the prince?"

“None are not.”

Zhang De poured tea for Lao Li, "But still remember the dilapidated Pingkangfang?"

"Xue Li? The one with the name Rengui?"

"It's him."

"Tsk, this is just Zhang Daxiang's gang. Didn't you say you went to the Western Regions before?"

"But I didn't fight, and the Duwei was very fond of a big appetite. How could I give soup to other people in Shazhou and Yizhou? The previous report came from the diary that it was said that it was to attack the Pamir Mountains and open up the trade route of Bolu Kingdom. Now a regiment was set up at Bolu Mountain Pass."

Judging from the news sent back, Lao Zhang estimated that the land should be the land that penetrated directly into the heart of the Indian San's heart more than a thousand years later. Following the Indus River, which is now the Xindu River, there are mostly small countries on the left and right. Li Chunfeng held the imperial edict, and the Bolu Kingdom and Xiangxiong Kingdom had the intention to fight against the Tubo tribes. This place is a strategic place.

It may be a bit too much to say that one man is a man who is in charge of ten thousand men, but the last Duwei Cheng Chubi shouted, "I am here to open this mountain." He will definitely have no problem taking over the business heirloom.

Anyway... Cheng Chubi's father also did such a business and did such a thing back then.

That is, when the news came back before the end of the year, Cheng Chubi collected the tolls for the Qiemo garrison, which were almost ten thousand horses and mules. The food was seven or eight thousand stones, not to mention the hard currency such as gold, silver and jewelry.

Seeing that the front line could eat delicious food and drink spicy food without even using logistics supplies, how could the traditional military head family members in Shazhou, Dunhuang and Longyou not be in a hurry?

I wanted to ask the Dunhuang Palace to detain Cheng Chubi's supplies, but how could I think that Cheng Chubi could not only rob Khotan, Kangju, Shule, and even the Western Turks could get food and war horses, but also get supplies from Xiangxiong and Bolu.

Especially the latter, it is simply...it's simply nothing to say.

Master Xuanzang, who had smuggled through the Western Regions in his early years, wanted to cry as soon as he went to Western India, and his face was as dark as coal.

Is this Tianzhu? It's not powerful.

How could there be someone like Cheng Chubi who shouted "My Buddha is merciful" and then destroyed several small countries with tens of thousands of people? As for these small countries, they still do not worship Buddha, and they do not care about it at all.

The more you fight, the richer you get, and the stronger you get. Even the merchants in Dunhuang have to go to Qiemo City to pay the protection fee, which is a bit too much.

So, the soldiers of the military leaders expressed their wishes...beg for mercy.

It's so hard that it's not enough. Not to mention that the fire in the Qiemo Army is currently strong and can fight, just say that the Minister of War had a share of money in the Qiemo Commander, and the stinky Taoist old talisman Li Chunfeng, who had at least six imperial edicts in his hand, so he couldn't do anything randomly.

Li Chunfeng and Cheng Chubi worked together inside and outside, killing the Xindu River and the 50,000-people small countries north of Bolu Kingdom in one breath. Is this what people do?

The one who has the most sensation and knows that it is the Xue family, especially the Xue family, and many children hang out with King Li Tai of Wei. Xue Dinge was frightened by Zhang De on the Chunming Tower back then, and almost pissed his pants. When he thinks about it, he still remembers it vividly.

But it is a bit troublesome to get along with Zhang Depan and then turn around to Cheng Chubi.

The relationship is progressive. Xue Li went to the Western Army to gild it, and when he came back, he was the kind who "dare to fight" and did not brag. In addition, he was an "old iron" with Zhang Daxiang, who had sex with prostitutes and had sex with the same window. So Xue Li didn't say that, and Zhang Daxiang patted his chest and promised Xue Li that he would give his old face and want to win the brothers.

So Zhang Daxiang came to Jianghan.

The prince of Duke Zou made a big deal with him, and he was very proud of his face.

"Those Dunhuang people are also very stupid. They really deserve the support of Longyou, Shazhou." Old Li smiled disdainfully. Among the caravans hidden on the Silk Road, there were a large number of camels that "sucked military supplies", including Li Simo's camels, and Li Simo didn't know about this at all.

The person who handled this matter was Yang Shidao...

After all, it was a friendship in Lingzhou to make arrows. The Yang family was in great trouble recently, but for the sake of the family's survival, Old Man Yang also made a sacrifice. As Emperor Li did not dare to destroy his Yang family, he just like Hou Junji, and spent money.

No matter how hard Cheng Chubi can beat him, he will be playing without the steel bra and flying duck arrows.

"It's not stupid, I dare not say it out. Li Simo is a hawk or dog, and Dunhuang does not dare to reveal the news. If there is any slight disturbance, it will be a serious crime if the emperor knows it. As for Hou Junji, who can guarantee that he will not be able to return to the Western Army one day? If the crime is punished by Cheng Chubi, it will be punished by the Minister of Personnel, and even more of me. Maybe, he will offend the generals of the Western Region Protectorate in the future."

"When it comes to the Protectorate, since it has reached the Pamir Mountains, the Western Turks will definitely seek a decisive battle. Could it be that they will achieve their contribution this year?"

"No, there will be three envoys going to the Western Turks first and summoning the Western Turks Tutun of the Western Regions."

"Three-way messenger?"

"One is Changsun Chong, you know that."

"Um."

"The second is Li Simo, and the third is Li Chunfeng."

"Why is this?"

"Originally, Changsun Chong had already persuaded the Western Turks to "marry" the Tang Dynasty. At that time, a family of women would be named princess and married to the Western Turks, using Shule and Khotan as betrothal gifts."

"But Yutian has been completely defeated by Cheng Chubi. The Western Turkic army was in disagreement and retreated north of the Pamir Mountains. How could Yutian serve as a betrothal gift?"

"So the Western Turks' 'marriage' incident was rejected. However, because a large mine was discovered between the Leiju Sea and the Hokkien Sea before, Changsun Chong asked the Western Turks to ced a piece of enclave to the Tang Dynasty."

"This place is not the old land of Western Turks, but it is a bit entangled with Persia."

"That's what Li Simo does."

Lao Zhang smiled and said to Lao Li, "Li Simo has to take risks in this trip. It is very likely that he will be beheaded by the Asina clan when he arrives in the Western Turks. However, risks and opportunities coexist. If Li Simo tells the Western Turks, what if you say that the Turks know that there is a big gold mine behind them?"

With his eyes rolling, Old Li instantly understood: "Teduce him for profit and drive away the tiger and swallow the wolf."

"The Western Turks are naturally not tigers, and the countries east of Persia are not considered wolves. The chickens are pecking at each other, and Li Chunfeng will walk again. He is a charlatan who is doing well in the Western Regions. All herders and slaves now know the power of the 'Taihao Emperor'. It's really... one person can reach ten thousand troops."

Having said that, Lao Li only felt that the people in the court were all bad. The three messengers had three routines, and it was clearly to stir up the fight between the Western Turks, the Persian states and the Buddha countries west of the Pamirs.

And it is really possible, because the gold mine is actually in the middle of the Thunder Sea and the Hospit Sea, and the area is vast and flat, which is quite suitable for the cavalry of the grassland nation to cut, shoot, and explode.

"If this matter is done, it does not need to be completely successful. Just provoke one or two units to start fighting and can take advantage of the situation. By then, the Western Army would be simply getting a bargain. How can the countries in the Western Regions compete with each other?"

Without the Western Turks, the countries in the Western Regions are nothing, and there is no question of combat effectiveness.

Thinking of this, Old Li actually wanted to go to the Western Regions to gilt, not to mention the hungry hearts of the soldiers in Longyou.

"Then... what's the reason why Zhang Daxiang came to Jianghan?"

"Let me tell Xue Li to be a friend."

Lao Zhang replied with a lip.
