Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

When he came to Xue's tea and wine shop, Chen Ying was very disappointed when he saw the front door. There were three front rooms facing the street. There were a few tables in the hall, and there were two compartments separated by cloth curtains in the northeast corner near the kitchen. It only covers the upper half of the door opening, which is regarded as a private room.
There are not a thousand such tea and wine shops in the city of Kucha, but at least eight hundred.
Under Zhou Qing's leadership, they sat down at a square table in the corner.
Zhou Qing was familiar with this place, and stood there to greet the young and beautiful Mrs. Xue and said, "Ms. Xue, do you still remember the dishes I ate in the restaurant? Add another cold-cut beef with soy sauce and bring it to us."
Chen Ying's face darkened: "Beef?"
Mrs. Xue hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "So that the little officials know that although our shop sells beef, it is not our Datang's farm cattle, but the Tubo yaks of Kangxi Prefecture. Afraid of the heat, they can't plow the land at all, so they can only kill and eat meat!"
The voice of Mrs. Xue's family is really nice.
Chen Ying looked at the pretty face of Mrs. Xue's family, and looked at the diners in the shop, and found that most of them were porters of merchants, or strong men, and there were no women or old people at all.
The lady of the Xue family is actually just a shopkeeper, whether it is dishes or cooking, there is someone else.When the lady of the Xue family has guests, she comes over to greet her. If there are no guests or usually, she stands behind the counter and calculates.
After a while, four plates of cold-cut sauce-flavored beef came up. Chen Ying picked up a piece and put it in his mouth to chew, but the taste was very ordinary.
However, it was time for dinner, and the dozen or so tables in the store were all full, and the business was obviously not bad.
Just when Chen applied to finish his meal and was about to leave.Eight men who looked like porters carrying poles entered the hall.
Guo Luo pushed Chen Ying and said, "My lord, I have a background!"
Under Guo Luo's reminder, Chen Ying left in no hurry.
He pretended to be intentional or unintentional, and looked towards the sitting next door, Chen Ying suddenly felt something different, the eight porters all carried a strong murderous aura.Although in this era, few people who dared to do business on the Silk Road had clean hands, but the murderous intent of these eight porters was too heavy.
Especially the black shoulder pole and the brand-new short shirt give people a feeling of being out of place.
One of the porters touched Mrs. Xue's buttocks while Mrs. Xue came to greet the guests.
The lady of Xue's family was more than capable of dealing with this kind of situation, she twisted her body like a water snake, and the man grabbed the air with one hand, causing the rough men around to burst into laughter.
Even though he missed, the man didn't care, his eyes were unscrupulously aimed at Mrs. Xue's family.
Chen Ying looked at Zhou Qing who was about to make a move, and said in a low voice, "Forget it, you can manage here for a while, but you won't be able to manage it forever. Offending these rascals will only cause trouble for Mrs. Xue's family!"
Zhou Qing sat down angrily.
Just as the waiter was serving the food, the man suddenly stretched out his foot. The waiter was unprepared and was knocked down on the ground. The tray in his hand was thrown forward, and by coincidence, it hit Chen Ying. It's on the rich.
The distinguished guest in brocade robe looked at the oil stains on his body, pointed at the waiter and yelled, "My dear, this is a new Xudu Caoji gown from a certain store, you pay...you pay!"
Several porters booed aside.
There was chaos in the hall.
The smile on Chen Ying's face deepened, and he finally understood what was going on.
……
The Fusang Great Tang adopted the same organizational system as the Great Tang, with sixteen generals leading all the governments in the world.The navy is directly under the emperor Li Shimin, and today's navy is basically the old foundation of Zhang Zhongjian's period. There are more than 44 large and small warships, of which the main battleships are [-] ocean-going warships refitted from Hengyangzhou.
The military strength is about 4 horses, although the military strength is slightly weaker than that of Datang.However, it may not be impossible to rely on these [-] sailors to tear apart Datang's coastal defenses.However, only relying on the strength of the Fusang Datang Navy, the successor is weak.
Fusang Datang is too far away from Datang, and Li Shimin's ability to project troops remotely at sea is limited. After tearing through the Suohai defense line, he can send up to [-] government soldiers, which is already the limit of Li Shimin's ability.As one of the troikas at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin naturally knew the soldiers, and he knew it very well.The fighting power of Fusang Tang army is far from being comparable to that of Datang.
It is said that troublesome people come from poor mountains and bad waters. Similarly, most of the soldiers with strong combat effectiveness come from bitter cold areas.However, Fusang Datang is a gentle town more prosperous than Jiangnan.
Fusang Datang has a warm climate and abundant rainfall. The most important thing is that it is rich in products, such as corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes and other high-yielding crops. Trees belong to shrubs, and a plant can grow up to two or three feet. The key is that the trunk will flow out a sticky paste similar to that made by mixing miscellaneous grains. Although the taste is not good, the key is that it can resist hunger, and the yield is extremely high. You can make two or three buckets of batter.
In fact, Li Shimin didn't know that what he encountered was actually the original species of starch tree with an output of up to five tons per mu in later generations.It is precisely because of this reason that the natives of Fusang Datang don't need to farm at all, and they can just drill into the woods and get enough food to satisfy their hunger.There are all kinds of fruits.
As the saying goes, if there is gain, there will be loss. Although the Fusang aborigines have obtained the land bestowed by God, they don't have to worry about food sources, so they are very comfortable and have no enterprising spirit at all.The biggest pleasure every day is to lie in the sun and play with your dick after eating and drinking.Li Shimin didn't know. If he knew, he would find that the Fusang Continent at this time was the same as the black people of later generations.
People can't do it, they are lazy, they don't have the key to organization and discipline, and they don't communicate with each other.This is Li Shimin's most urgent question. Li Shimin also thought about learning from Zhang Zhongjian, who came from Datang.
However, there are many such problems.There are four performance indicators for officials in the Tang court assessment, population, taxation, enlightenment, and acres of land.A small number is okay, but as long as the number is large, the Tang court will definitely be alarmed in advance.In terms of war mobilization and war potential, Datang is more than ten times that of Fusang Datang. Except for food, Li Shimin has no advantage over Li Jiancheng.Once Datang is allowed to complete the war mobilization, Li Shimin has no chance of winning.
When Li Shimin was not ready, he didn't want to pay Li Jiancheng's attention prematurely.
But there is a problem that Li Shimin has to solve, and that is the problem of heirs.
It is not that Li Shimin had no sons in Fusang Datang. He gave birth to eleven sons and seven daughters in Fusang Datang. The key is that these are all concubines with mixed blood.
Li Shimin was absolutely unwilling to pass on the throne to these semi-aboriginal sons. He risked being discovered by Li Jiancheng and took away Li Chengqian, Li Tai and others by force.

Without Guo Luo's reminder, Chen Ying would not have been able to discover the problem.However, at this moment, the murderous look in Chen Ying's eyes became more and more intense.
It was actually aimed at him. In Ruoda hall, the nobleman fought with several porters, and it seemed to be a mess.In fact, in Chen Ying's eyes, these people's acting skills were extremely clumsy.
The poor do not fight with the rich, and the people do not fight with the officials. This is the truth since ancient times.However, these porters were fighting with the nobles carelessly.This is the biggest doubt. In ancient times, it was called committing crimes. If they were ordinary people, they wouldn't dare to commit crimes if they had three guts. What's more, these people dressed as porters were at fault.
The city of Kucha is no different than other places, but there are city management here.The urban management in this era is not like the later generations. Whether it is the appearance of the city or public security incidents, they are all under the management of the urban management.Moreover, this era is not as indifferent as the later generations. Ten households have one family. If there is a case, it must be filed. If it is concealed, it will take two sticks of incense time at most, and the city management will definitely arrive here.
They are even more afraid to do it here, even if they are not afraid of power, they still want to find a place where the night is quiet or where there are few people.It's already too weird here.
"It's stabbed..." The nobleman's clothes were torn, and the nobleman opened his mouth and cursed: "My mother, I will wear this clothes for the New Year, so I want you to tear them!"
Seeing this, Chen Ying can basically conclude that this "noble man", his three escorts, and eight porters are all in the same group, and they are just acting for Chen Ying.
Seeing that their master was being beaten, the three attendants rushed over to relieve the trouble, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
Several other porters turned and rushed towards the corner, wanting to pick up the poles they leaned on here.
With the pole in hand, several porters twisted the pole vigorously, and the pole shattered into a gleaming sword.The eight porters did not fight with the distinguished guests, but instead gathered together to form a small Modao army formation.
The eight porters walked side by side, raised their Mo Dao at the same time, and shouted in unison: "Chop..."
At this moment, Guo Luo's intestines were full of regret.
Why do I have to talk too much and propose to come to Xue's tea and wine shop?
Come on, come on, but meet an assassin.Guo Luo roared, "Come on, protect the Lord!"
At this moment, a tall and thin young man with sword eyebrows and tiger eyes suddenly came out from the backyard and rushed towards the eight Modao assassins with his bare hands.
Seeing this, Chen Ying's heart tightened. Mo Dao could still deal with it before forming a sword formation.But once formed into a knife array, it is almost invincible.
The eight assassins raised their Mo Dao and slashed at Chen Ying viciously.
The young man was very fast, and raised his foot to step on the knee of a Modao assassin. The Modao assassin immediately fell to the ground screaming.The Mo knife in his hand also fell at the same time.
