I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

The king of Ningyuan Kingdom was not killed as he expected.

Even, he still retained the title of a so-called "King". After Xue Rengui told him the news, he ignored him and handed him over to Xu Fangjing.

Xu Fangjing tugged at the king and kept asking about the battle situation of Ningyuan Kingdom.

The face of the king of Ningyuan Kingdom turned green.

good guy...

Did I lose two cities before I knew it?

He couldn't answer any of Xu Fangjing's questions, and he even got most of the information from Xu Fangjing's mouth.

The two of them congenial and discussed Xue Rengui's fighting style.

As for Xue Rengui...

He is still very busy now, busy with the interview.

The merchant in Ningyuan Kingdom was killed, but the mining matter still needs someone to be responsible—in fact, it is best to leave it to the king of Ningyuan Kingdom.

Xue Rengui thought so.

However, neither Dalang nor Mrs. Wu approve of this approach. They feel that they still need to find another merchant to take charge of this matter.

This is a matter of attitude.

If it is left to Ningyuan Country to be responsible, the result is likely to be...the surrounding countries that sell mineral resources to Datang will take the initiative to lower prices.

Although the price reduction is a good thing, the initiative to sell or not is still in the hands of these countries.

If it is left to merchants to do it, then the initiative is in Yin Xuan's hands.

You can not, but must have.

Interviewing merchants is a very numb thing. Its essence is to pick out the one with the least lower limit from this group of people who have no lower limit.

Interview one by one and choose one by one.

It took three days before Xue Rengui finally decided on the specific merchant candidates.

The first thing is to let the merchant fill in the bad debts of the bank, and then lend him a sum of money, sign a written contract, and let him make preparations.

The rangers have not been idle during this time.

They were trying their best to record the topography and environment of Ningyuan Kingdom, and searched for any gold mines exposed on the ground by the way—this kind is very rare and difficult to find.

If it was easy to find, it would have been picked up by Ning Yuan Kingdom long ago.

The war in Ningyuan Kingdom was quickly spread, and the battle that night was full of flames, and it could not be as quiet as when the two cities were captured before, so that almost no one knew about it.

only…

Word of mouth will inevitably be somewhat demonized.

When it spread to Tubo, the news had completely changed—because Lord Zhengyang was badly owed, he sent his own soldiers to conquer Ningyuan Kingdom.

Overnight, two empty cities.

But that Lord Zhengyang of the Tang Dynasty was a kind person after all, he did not punish those innocent people, those nobles and soldiers in the city all died quietly under the punishment of heaven.

The capital of Ningyuan Kingdom was bombed by sky thunder.

Three thousand elite cavalry were wiped out in the thunder and fire, and even the armor on them was melted into iron juice.

When Juba Dongdai heard the news, his immediate sense was disbelief.

The reason... is also very simple.

It's not that Tianlei's news is too exaggerated, he doesn't know, and he can't be sure, whether Datang has such means, and what if it really does?
The current Datang is completely different from the previous Datang, and it cannot be considered by common sense at all.

It was because in this rumor, Ning Yuanguo was said to be too rich.

Three thousand cavalry, Ningyuan country can have, after all, it is a country famous for selling horses.

But... cavalry?
It's probably too exaggerated.

Even with the size of the country of Tubo, it is not easy to support three thousand cavalry, let alone a country that is so much smaller and poorer than Tubo.

Although the content of the rumors cannot be fully believed, there is always one that cannot be faked.

That was Datang's attack on Ning Yuanguo.

Those merchants really attached themselves to that Duke Zhengyang of Datang...

The people I sent to Chang'an to inquire about the news have not yet returned, and Datang has already taken down Ningyuan Kingdom so vigorously, which is really frightening.

Bureau Ba Dongdai sighed, put down the information in his hands, and quickly had five of the youngest lambs caught, and drove all night to the mine.

At this time, the mine is in full swing.

Glenima has been doing business in Datang for so many years, and he is well versed in the way of management. He not only pays wages, but also takes care of food, and even bought a batch of cotton clothes from Datang.

Of course...not for free.

The five people who excavate the most ore every week can each get a brand new cotton coat.

Inspired by this kind of reward, the amount of ore produced every day is at least three times the amount of ore dug by slaves in the official Tubo mines.

It seems that I paid more, but I got more.

When he was calculating how much he could earn this winter, someone ran in, first called out "Lang Jun" in Chinese, and then continued in Tubo dialect: "Juba Dongdai is here."

It is his request to let his servants call him "Lang Jun".

I have become Datang's dog, and my dog ​​can speak human language, so it is not too much to say that I am half a Datang person, right?Some things cannot be enjoyed in Datang, so it seems good to enjoy them in Tubo?
Glenima smiled slightly and exhaled: "Is it finally here?"

Juba Dongdai still owes three lambs.

As soon as he walked out of the tent, he saw Juba Dongdai waiting respectfully at the door, and when he saw him, he quickly walked over to meet him, his attitude and tone were as respectful as his expression: "Long time no see, you look as good as you are." Usually pretty good."

Glenima put on airs and nodded: "I don't know why Master Dong Dai came here this time?"

Juba Dongdai smiled slightly, and said softly: "A few days ago, I accidentally injured you by accident. I came here to see if the injury has affected you, and the compensation we agreed before..."

Saying that, he clapped his hands.

The person who stretched out his hand came out carrying five coquettish and babbling little lambs, and placed them in front of Glenima.

Glenima pretended to be puzzled: "Didn't you say that the three heads are good?"

Juba Dongdai frowned, and pretended to reprimand: "Look at what you said. After I went back, I thought about it for a long time."

"I caused a catastrophe, how could I be so petty to make up for it, I have to have more to show my sincerity."

Glenima waved his hand and ordered someone to come over and take the lambs away: "Then I'll take them with the cheek."

Juba Dongdai breathed a sigh of relief: "It's also because my tribe really can't produce any good things in winter, otherwise there will only be five little lambs."

He sighed and said pointedly.
