Great Tang Southern Emperor

Before the man could stand still, Wu Zheren grabbed him by the collar and yelled, "Why are you panicking? Tell me, what happened? Who is the enemy? Is it cavalry or infantry? How far away are we?" Far?"

The person who came was almost mentioned by Wu Zheren, and he ignored the struggle when he heard the words, but asked strangely: "The enemy? What enemy? I didn't say the enemy?"

"No." Then why are you saying it's bad? The Great Elder said: "Isn't it the enemy who came?" "

, What came was a caravan, a very large caravan, several thousand. "When the visitor said this, his expression was excited, and he shouted loudly: "There are so many caravans, the furs we have accumulated can definitely be exchanged for many good things. "

"Really? Great, it turned out to be a caravan, and another caravan is here."

"Haha, this time I can add some jewelry for my Naya."

"My little Utu has been arguing for me for a new toy for a long time, and I hope I can buy it this time."

"Speaking of which, my Tumulia has also wanted a kind of silk for a long time."

""

When everyone heard the news, regardless of the two unlucky ghosts on the ground, they all cheered and jumped up.

Wu Zheren also cheered, "Why are you still arguing? Why don't you go back and count what you want to exchange for? Such a large caravan must have a complete set of items, so we can't let them go easily."

"Oh!!!"

"I said that's enough for you, so you should pay attention to your identity anyway?" The Great Elder sternly shouted to stop the forgetful people. Seeing everyone's faces were ashamed, their expressions suddenly changed, and he laughed and said, "Our most important thing is now. What’s important is not to count the goods you need, but to prepare a banquet quickly to welcome guests from afar.”

"Oh!!!"

"The great elder is also very cunning."

"Almost cheated."

"The Great Elder is so scary when he is serious."

Li Daoan is a businessman, a businessman who specializes in running the grassland line, and has extremely rich experience. Unfortunately, rich experience does not mean great power. A small caravan with many people is more often run alone, which is very dangerous.

The grasslands are not peaceful. Between tribes, tribes and horse thieves, even if there is Jieli pressing down on them, it will not be possible to eliminate the tribes fighting for profit or ranch, so don't look at the Turks. The forces are powerful, but the entire prairie is basically in a melee.

It is self-evident to do business on such a grassland full of battlefields. It is self-evident that if you meet a friendly and hospitable tribe, the two sides can still trade smoothly, but if you encounter an arrogant and unreasonable tribe, the big caravan is better. Some tolls can basically keep you safe, but a small caravan or a single traveler like him really has to wait to die, and the risk is extremely high.

But big risks also represent great benefits. There is a shortage of supplies on the grassland, and there is an urgent need for daily necessities. The price of commodities is basically several times that of Datang. Just run once, and you can basically make a fortune.

Li Daoan has been in business for five years, has traveled to Turkic ten times, and has made a lot of money. Originally, he planned to stop after the last time.As a result, at this time came the news that the Tang Dynasty had won a great victory over the Turks, captured Xieli alive, and the Turks perished.

So Li Daoan, who originally planned to wash his hands in the golden basin, was moved again. Datang had already included the Turks in its own territory, which means that the Turks were already the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Sex is also much safer than before, and the profits will be greater

In the end, he still couldn't resist the temptation of money, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet: I didn't die on the grassland when the two countries were at war. Now that the Turks have been destroyed, there is no reason to die there, right?

I just woke up and I was really tired. I basically didn’t write in the past two days, and I relied on saving manuscripts to support me. But now I don’t have many manuscripts. I really want to resign.

Chapter 184 Li Daoan's Luck

Chapter 1: Li Daoan's Luck

With this in mind, Li Daoan bid farewell to his family again, and walked towards the outside of the pass with a lot of belongings, but this time his luck was not very good, or it was too good

It is said that he was unlucky because he had just arrived at the pass with the goods, and he was seized. He was carrying private goods. This is inevitable for the merchants. In the past, he could be forgiven by bribing the guards. Unfortunately, this time Li Zhen's confidant Xue Rengui is stationed at the checkpoint

Because of capturing Xieli alive, not only was Li Zhenda rewarded, but the three who followed Xue Rengui were also paid attention to by Li Shimin. The Hufu was founded, Li Shimin gave Li Zhen some privileges), and Du He was the chief history of the Hufu.

Not to mention Du He, Fang Yiai's duty is to cooperate with the deputy governor (which is different from the deputy governor) to train the cavalry, because in this big victory, Datang captured countless war horses.In addition to the ones sent to Chang'an, Li Zhen also retained tens of thousands of horses. After allocating them to his soldiers, the entire Turkic capital was completely turned into cavalry. Fang Yiai's task was to cooperate with Xue Wanche (who was also sent by Li Shimin) Li Zhen watched the scene) training cavalry.

And Xue Rengui's task is much more arduous. In addition to assisting Li Zhen in completing various tasks, he also has the important task of patrolling customs. Xue Rengui's carefulness has captured more than 30 spies with ulterior motives since he took office. Or a spy, Li Zhen valued him even more.

This time, Li Daoan also fell into Xue Rengui's hands. Facing the upright Xue Rengui, how could Li Daoan's little bribe work?

So he was very unlucky to be confiscated by the patrol officers and soldiers, but he was not severely punished. Instead, Xue Rengui discovered his talent during the interrogation and introduced him to a big man—— His Royal Highness Chaoyue King, this is why he was lucky, because not only was he received by Li Zhen, but he was also given an official position by Li Zhen.

Speaking of it until now, Li Daoan felt in a daze. He was just a small person in the past. Although he had a little money, for him who didn't even see the county magistrate on weekdays, meeting a serious prince was a big deal. It was something he never dreamed of.

Although the King of Yue was young and unreliable, according to the information obtained by Li Daoan, he was indeed the actual controller of the northern border of the Tang Dynasty, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, dominating the grassland The lives and deaths of millions of people.

Li Daoan didn't come back to his senses until he walked out of Yuewang's mansion, because His Royal Highness Yuewang only asked him a few questions after seeing Yuewangwang. In charge of all official caravans traveling in South Turkic, directly responsible to King Yue.

According to King Yue, the position of consul is not included in the nine-rank official system of the Tang Dynasty, but a foreign official specially set up by His Majesty the Emperor (please search for "Liuwaiguan" for details, which is explained in Encyclopedia). Out of the three ranks.

Don’t think that it doesn’t matter if the consul general is a foreign official. According to the king of Yue, the consul general of the southern Turkic caravan, the capital of the Turkic capital, is a very important position. To inspect the various tribes in the grassland for the Protectorate of the Metropolitan Government, to see which one is sincerely attached and which one has ulterior motives, can be said to be a heavy responsibility. Li Daoan immediately felt that the burden on his shoulders was much heavier.

When Li Daoan couldn't help asking King Yue why he was chosen, King Yue's words made him dumbfounded: "Don't be sentimental, it's just a coincidence, if it wasn't for Xue Rengui who happened to catch you and recommended you, we would have chosen someone else of."

After hearing this, Li Daoan was not disappointed at all, because for a person like him, such an answer is the most correct answer.

He is still very self-aware. There are too many businessmen like him on the prairie. Some people have even been walking on the prairie for more than ten years. Those who have more experience than him are only a coincidence. Pick him.On the contrary, if the king of Yue said that he had heard about his reputation and valued his talent, Li Daoan would not dare to accept this job.

What's more, he also knew that things were not that simple at all. Just by listening to him, he could tell how important the post of Consul General was. How could it be handed over to someone who had only met him once?I am afraid that in such a short period of time after he was captured and brought to the Yue Palace, his information may have been thoroughly investigated by the Dadu Protectorate.

Because of this, Li Daoan was also a little bit fortunate in addition to being excited. If he hadn't practiced business honestly over the years and had never smuggled contraband, he might not be the consul general.There is also a trace of awe mixed in with the rejoicing, being able to check his details in such a short period of time, wouldn't it be easier to check his corruption?

So when Li Daoan just took over the appointment, he made up his mind that even if he becomes an official, he must not act recklessly. As long as he works diligently and honestly, he may not be able to change from a foreign official to an internal official, so as to honor his ancestors Glorious lintel.

Two days after he was appointed as the Consul General, Li Daoan received a notice asking him to prepare within five days to start his first business in the Protectorate.Li Daoan has already prepared for this point, not only the goods are ready, but he also contacted a few old friends, and in the midst of envy and hatred, he also pulled them into the caravan (this is in line with the rules, As long as you pay money, you can follow the official caravan to trade), while increasing the safety of the caravan, it also enriches the comprehensiveness of the products.There's just one thing he can't figure out no matter what he thinks

"Brother Huang, you know the king of Yue, oh no, it's the chief protector. Why did the chief protector give priority to buying wool? The price of wool is not high. To say that it is not high is to say that wool is too high. Is there a price for that thing? Li Daoan asked his colleague Huang Tingfeng, Consul General of the Northern Turkic Caravan of the Turkic Metropolitan Protectorate: "Is there any other function of this wool besides felting? Who would buy that thing if they have nothing to do?"

"I don't know about this either. I think there are other uses for coming to the Duhu Mansion." Li Daoan and Huang Tingfeng are not disgusted. First of all, although the two are competitors in principle, the Turkic Grassland is too big. The two caravans in the North simply cannot compete together.The second is that both of them were businessmen before, and they belonged to the type of long-sleeved and good at dancing. They both wanted to make friends with each other, so naturally they would not quarrel.

Huang Tingfeng thought for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Just to remind you, Brother Li, your question is a bit too much, we are just businessmen, we can do whatever the master asks us to do, and we can't ask questions that shouldn't be asked." Ask, otherwise fortune and misfortune will be unpredictable."

"Yes, yes, my little brother is talking too much. Thank you, brother Huang, for your guidance." Li Daoan was alerted immediately, and thanked him again and again: "Brother Huang's reminder, brother, will definitely be rewarded in the future."

"Good talk, good talk."

Chapter 185

Chapter 1 Eleven Going the Wrong Way

The so-called army that Lu Zhu saw was Li Daoan's caravan. Because there were too many goods, there was a lot of smoke and dust, and Lu Zhu's eyes were not good. No wonder he regarded it as a large army.

Also because there were too many goods, they walked very slowly along the way. They waited until the Biande Department was ready for the banquet, and they were still more than 20 miles away from the Biande Department.

"I said Hahu, how far is it from the Biande Department?" Li Daoan rode on a horse with a fat body, constantly wiping his sweat: "My God, it's only May, and it's so hot. Wait until the dog days? Why is it so hot this year?"

"It's not far, we'll be there in another twenty miles." The boy named Hahu replied while playing with the whistle that Li Daoan gave him.

"There are still twenty miles!" Li Daoan wailed.
