This traveler only wants to choose the lowest difficulty

Chapter 210

Hearing Hou Junji's words, Xu Changfu nodded secretly in his heart. Although Longyou, among the many Zhechong mansions in the Tang Dynasty, is cold and miserable, it is one of the few places where there are battles. If Hou Junji transferred Wang Dong to Guannei, Wang Dong Although his life will be much better, the chances of making military achievements will be reduced. Presumably this is also the result of the compromise between Hou Junji and Niu Jichang, that is, Wang Dong can be promoted, but he must leave Longyou. With the advice of his trebuchet, Dong actually asked Hou Junji to make him stay in Longyou.

Now everything depends on Wang Dong's choice. If he stays in Longyou, although he will have to work with Niu Jichang, there will definitely be more opportunities for promotion in the future. And if he wants to live an ordinary life, it is also a choice to go to Guannei. Good choice.

But Xu Changfu thought from Wang Dong's point of view, thinking that Wang Hui had been staying in Qinzhou and Lanzhou before, and he didn't want to come to Shanzhou. He thought that this person is probably a person who likes to enjoy himself. If he wants to stay in Longyou, he should choose to go to Guannai.

But at this time, Xu Changfu saw Wang Dong thinking about it, and replied directly with a smile: "Thanks to the appreciation of Lord Shangshu, I would like to stay in Longyou and try to make a trebuchet for Lord Shangshu."

Xu Changfu was surprised when he heard the words, but Wang Dong's heart was already full of joy. Only then did he know that Hou Junji originally planned for him to go to the customs. He is now staying in Datang for a year, and he does not expect any promotion. However, if he wanted to make money in Guanhai, the chances of making money would obviously not be as great as in Shanzhou, which he was already slightly familiar with.

At this time, Shanzhou had more than hundreds of thousands of households and a population of about 40. It was already considered a large city. Moreover, due to the continuous war, a large amount of materials gathered here, and it was also a hub for money, wealth, and business travel. If Wang Dong wanted to make money, it was logically the best way to go to Chang'an, but obviously Hou Junji had no intention of transferring him to Chang'an to be a guard soldier under the Emperor's sect. If he went to other prefectures and counties, he would not be able to do it. He could earn a lot here in the state, not to mention that if he left this place, all the tribal forces on the grasslands he had made friends with during the Battle of Tuyuhun would be completely in vain. Wang Dong didn't want to make a more difficult start, so he thought I decided to make the first pot of gold in Shanzhou.

Hearing this, Hou Junji couldn't help being overjoyed, and Xu Changfu was quite surprised, then Hou Junji turned directly to Xu Changfu and said, "Bie general Xu, since this is the case, I will go up and ask Cai to be the right general of Shanzhou Zhechong Prefecture. , was still an official in the same government as General Xu Bie last week."

He nodded quickly, and then he roughly understood the reason why Hou Junji had called him here before.Probably because he had previously decided to transfer Wang Dong away from Zhechong Prefecture in Shanzhou, Niu Jichang's faction was the only one left in this place. Hou Junji wanted to balance the relationship between Zhechong Prefecture in Shanzhou, so he called Xu Changfu to sit here. Hu came to persuade him.

At this time, Wang Dong actually stayed in Shanzhou, so he was no longer needed. After all, it was just a matter of words for Hou Junji to convince Niu Jichang in Shanzhou, but he had not been able to do it before. It was cost-effective, and now for Wang Dong's trebuchet, it was already very cost-effective for him to do it.

Xu Changfu heard the meaning of the words and quickly handed over his hands and said: "I will definitely cooperate with Caiyou to run the Shanzhou Zhechong Mansion well."

Hou Junji nodded and said, "Then Xu Bing, please go out first."

Hou Junji signaled Wang Dong to stay, Xu Changfu also felt envious when he saw him, but he could only walk out of the military tent quickly.

Wang Dong and Hou Junji were alone in the big tent. Hou Junji began to look Wang Dong up and down. After a long time, he smiled and nodded and said: "Sure enough, he is a talented person."

"Your Excellency was originally transferred to Chang'an this time, but I didn't expect you to take the initiative to stay. It's very good."

Hearing Hou Junji's words, Wang Dong felt his heart skip a beat, what the hell?It turned out that Hou Junji originally wanted to transfer him to Chang'an, and he knew that he would not stay in Shanzhou, but now that he had said the words, it was too late for him to change, and he would offend Hou Junji instead, so he could only smile bitterly in his heart.

Hou Junji went on to say: "If you arrive in Chang'an, you will be rewarded in other ways for your other contributions, but staying in Shanzhou at this time will definitely make you suffer."

"Niu Jichang, the commander of the Shanzhou Zhechong Prefecture, has made outstanding contributions. Don't think about changing his position. He has made the contribution to capturing Murong Ji alive this time. If there are other ways to reward you in the pass, the Shanzhou Zhechong Prefecture personnel have already If you are crowded, I can only offer you a hereditary official position. Of course, it can only be a casual official in the vassal state, but it can be regarded as a shield for future generations. What do you think?"

Wang Dong was quite surprised when he heard the words. Thinking about this kind of thing, Hou Junji didn't need to discuss it with him at all. Although he had made great achievements, he didn't have any leverage in Hou Junji's hands. All the benefits in the past are obtained in exchange. Ask yourself that your current status as Wang Hui has no value worth exchanging with Hou Junji.

But Hou Junji actually asked him, and Wang Dong couldn't help but think about it. First of all, he rejected Hou Junji's idea of ​​using hereditary military attachés to reward him.

A hereditary military officer is certainly precious, but he only stayed in Datang for a year, and this official title means nothing to him at all.

Wang Dong had already thought about how to develop in Shanzhou in the future, and he quickly cupped his hands and begged: "My lord, I don't want to be hereditary, I just want to make contributions in the land of Shanzhou, if Shangshu is willing to reward me, please also invite Hou Shangshu Help me get a few acres of land outside Shanzhou."

Hearing this, Hou Junji was taken aback. He thought that he had already given Wang Dong a lot of face by offering hereditary military officer.

"That's right. You have to think clearly. The place was not peaceful last week..."

Is there any land around Shanzhou?Yes, but the land in this place is not a question of whether there is land, but a question of whether it can be planted.

Not to mention that this place is often brainwashed by nomads, and that Tuyuhun may surrender and rebel and come to attack, the population and agricultural conditions of Shanzhou are naturally not suitable for agricultural production at this time.

This place is dry and cold in winter, and the land is seriously desertified. What's more, the population is sparse. Wang Dong brought so much land, unless he planted it himself, he couldn't cultivate it at all.

Wang Dong heard this and said confidently: "There are native people and people. We, the Tang Dynasty, want to run Longyou. If no one is willing to farm in Shanzhou to support the people, then in this Longyou area, even if we defeat Tuyuhun today, In the future, people will still be empty. For the sake of the country, there must be someone in this kind of land. If someone wants to open it up, please start from Wang Hui."

Hearing this, Hou Junji couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, then nodded, it turned out that Wang Hui meant that.

That's right, I think this guy's family is quite rich, and it would be good to be transferred to Guannei to enjoy the blessings, but at this time, he volunteered to donate the catapult and farm in Shanzhou. How could this be a choice made by a dude?It turned out that he was really thinking about the problem for Long You of the Tang Dynasty.

In an instant, Hou Junji seemed to understand the reason why Wang Hui was so dissolute before. He had previously taken the initiative to transfer from the south to the northwest to serve as a military attaché. How could this be a choice made by a playboy?The reason why he was wandering around Tianshui in Lanzhou before was because he found that he was not taken seriously after coming to Longyou and his ambitions were difficult to achieve, so he committed suicide.

Hou Junji couldn't help but take a deep breath, what a great talent.Suddenly he felt that appreciating Wang Dong was a good thing to save materials for the country. When he thought about himself again, he felt a bit of guilt in his heart. If it wasn't because of that trebuchet, wouldn't he just use such a talent for nothing? ?

Feeling a lot of emotion in his heart, Hou Junji couldn't help but slapped the table and said, "Okay, I'll ask for land for you!"

When Wang Dong heard this, he was overjoyed.

Of course, the land in Shanzhou could not be used to grow food at this time, but Xining in later generations was also an agricultural town. Many of those special agricultural products were marketable at this time. As long as they followed the Silk Road Shipping it back, no matter how hard you think about it, it won't be sold.

Wang Dong hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I would like to ask the imperial court to exchange all my rewards for fields, the fields around Shanzhou."

Hearing this, Hou Junji couldn't help appreciating it even more and nodded.

At that time, I heard Hou Junji say: "Your mother, Mrs. Yang, I have met her several times in Chang'an. After returning to Shanzhou, she also took me to say hello to your mother."

Wang Dong listened to this remark, if he hadn't known the custom of greeting people in Tang Dynasty, he really thought that Hou Junji had something to do with the Yang family, and after thinking about it, he realized that Hou Junji just wanted to have a relationship with Hongnong Yang's family. Unexpectedly, the clan was so powerful in the early Tang Dynasty that even a character like Hou Junji had to befriend the Yang family.

He nodded hastily.
