Chapter 554 Jiannan Road
Half a day passed, and when Chen Guang finished discussing the matter with everyone, it was already dark. Fortunately, the chef of the Protectorate was not bad, Chen Guang simply held a meal in the General Office and ate, drank and laughed with these close friends.
"I heard that Geshu Jiedu has been majestic recently. He even lost the thiefs to several cities."
For everyone, Anxi is too far away from Chang'an City. Even if the master of his family built a news channel that was not inferior to the imperial court station by relying on the escort agency, the speed is not much faster.
Most of the eight years of Tianbao have passed, and Anxi is naturally calm and there is no war. The entire Tang Dynasty only has Longyou, and Jiannan Road still catches Tubo and continues to attack.
In the past year, Geshuhan pushed the troops across Dafeichuan, and then relied on the cement that his old boss Wang Zhongsi hoarded when he was in Liangzhou, he built more than ten fortresses and fortresses in one breath, completely connecting the defense lines of the Tang army, forcing the Tubo people to send envoys to Chang'an City to cry and complain.
In Jiannan Road, Yang Guozhong's old friend Xian Yu Zhongtong actively consolidated his army and prepared for war after being instructed. As a result, he also seized several cities in succession and regained all the cities that the Tubo people had occupied in Jiannan Road. Yang Guozhong also promoted the old friend of the Shu hero to the court as an official, and instead asked Yan Gaoqing to become the governor of Jiannan and continue to put pressure on the Tubo people.
Speaking of Yan Gaoqing, this person is also because of his strong temper. Even though he is full of talent, he has to be a mere record officer in Weizhou. However, after Yang Guozhong took office, he almost obeyed Chen Guang. He himself was a despicable jester who had settled in Shu and became an iron-bending Yang Qingtian. So after Shen Guang mentioned Yan Gaoqing's name, Yang Guozhong was transferred from Weizhou to Chang'an to serve as an official in the Ministry of Revenue.
Xianyu Zhongtong was not that bad. In the later history books, Tianbao was defeated in Nanzhao for ten years, and he lost 100,000 soldiers. However, later generations disliked Yang Guozhong's chaos in politics and caused trouble to the country, and forced the 30,000 soldiers from Jiannan Road to 100,000, and all of them died.
But even so, Xian Yu Zhongtong is just a man. The key is that this great hero in Shu is a person with no bottom line. Yang Guozhong is honest and dare not plunder the people's wealth. However, Anxi Shaochun's business in Shuzhong was tampered with, and at least three or four million were lost in just two years.
But Xianyu Zhongtong thought he was smart, but he didn't know that those who managed Anxi Shaochun in Shuzhong were all the true loyal confidants sent by Yang Guozhong. He was really not able to buy it with money. What's more, Yang Guozhong is now a master of account checks. He knew the amount of Anxi Shaochun's Shuzhong's business, which was because Xianyu Zhongtong had kindness to him, so he didn't do him directly. It was already Yang Guozhong's loyalty.
"The Lord, after my brother took office, he wrote to ask, why should he treat Nanzhao?"
During the meal, Yan Zhenqing thought of his brother's letter, but asked, although his master was not in Chang'an City, the prime ministers in the court now have a close relationship with the master, as if his brother was able to serve as the governor of Jiannan because of his recommendation.
When Yan Gaoqing was under Yang Guozhong's disciple, he also learned some Shen from this kindness. In addition, Chen Guang was his boss and his younger brother worked in Anxi, so he admired Chen Guang very much. When he left Chang'an, Yang Guozhong also told him that if he encountered any difficult things, he could write to Chen Guang for questions.
So after Yan Gaoqing took office, he immediately wrote a letter and sent someone to send the prepared gifts. He knew that Chen Guang liked rare birds and beasts, so he gave him several pairs of iron-eating beasts. Now the Protectorate also raises the ancient Chiyou mount as a mascot to show the abundant martial ethics of the Anxi Army.
However, these iron-eating beasts that were originally to be arduous in the mountains are now tamed and comfortable. They have no such power as iron-eating beasts. They can be easily beaten on their heads by individuals. It can be regarded as the benefits of Shen Guang to the ministers under their hands, helping them release the pressure in their busy official duties.
"In the words of Nanzhao, as the saying goes, how can you let others sleep soundly? Now that the thieves bow their heads, there is no need to press too much on Jiannan Road, just keep the current city."
Chen Guang thought for a while and said that he had not been really spending time with his children in the villa these days. For his dream of advancing westward, the Tang Dynasty was the main base behind him that he could not lose. Moreover, he did not want to keep Nanzhao, a small country, a disgusting person. Ten years of Tianbao in history, the Tang Dynasty defeated Nanzhao because Xianyu Zhongtong was not capable, and Yan Gaoqing was much stronger than his.
"In Nanzhao, it is better to divide and disintegrate, and attack the heart. If it is not necessary, don't take the initiative to send troops easily. The king's army either does not move. If it moves, it will definitely become famous. Qing minister, if you reply to someone, you will say that the Jiannan Chamber of Commerce will be obeyed and let your brother be not polite."
At present, the chambers of commerce near the northwest of the Tang Dynasty have been integrated, and the power of the chamber of commerce in Jiannan Road should not be underestimated. When Tubo was prosperous, it also occupied an important position on the Silk Road. Later generations, the so-called Tang and Turkish ancient times were also an important channel for the trade of spices and gems on the Silk Road.
Now that the Tubo people have accumulated over decades, they have lost all their lives. The Hu merchants who were originally in Jiannandao were also in fear and turned to the Alibaba Chamber of Commerce. Even those Tubo merchants were the same. They became traitors without any psychological obstacles. Xian Yu Zhongtong was able to successfully capture those Tubo cities before, and they were the leaders, working together inside and outside the city, or simply bribing the defenders to surrender voluntarily.
Yan Zhenqing nodded, but he didn't say anything, that was that his brother called his eldest nephew from his hometown to Anxi to be the master of his relatives.
"By the way, this is Jiannan Shaochun brewed from Jiannan Road. Everyone can taste the taste."
Shen Guang made people take Laojiao Shaochun in Jiannandao. Now the Tang Dynasty's liquor market is exclusively monopolized by him. In order to segment the market and strengthen internal competition, the current exactly the same method of distilled liquor is made. There is Jiannanchun in Jiannandao, Qinchuan Daqu in Chang'an, etc. Although the tastes are slightly different, they are all highly liquor.
At present, the wine alone is less than 20 million yuan a year. This is because the winery is not enough and the output is not keeping up. Now, in addition to Anxi, Jiannandao is the largest producer of liquor, just because there are too many private wine dealers selling fake wine in Shu. For this reason, Yang Guozhong also specially selected people from the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple to form six doors to specifically crack down on these great men in the world who mixed water and sold fake wine.
From Jiannan Road to Guanzhong, in the past two years, many heroes in Shu who were forced to go to the forefront by the Six Gates had to join the vast yellow sand of Anxi to do business without any money, and then they were recruited by Li Bai and led the official army. Of course, those who were unwilling to recruit were either rectified on the spot or sent to mine to mine.

Nowadays, the Green Forest Road in the Pass is rumored that Yumen Pass is the gate of ghosts, and Anxi is no longer a paradise for desperate people to escape as before. Although Anxi does not have six gates, the six gates under the rule of the Protectorate are much more cruel than the six gates to investigate private wine in the Pass. In the past two years, many giant thieves who were hiding in Anxi have been caught. That is how they really did not pick up the road and never close their doors at night.
