I'm a marquis in Datang

After Long Zhengyang heard it, he was only ashamed and said: "Unexpectedly, this was all Taifu's painstaking efforts. Taifu, I was wrong. I will go back and tell Zhang Zicheng to let him manage the salt shop well."

Hu Youshan said: "It's good that King Yanqi understands. You have to know that it is not the former Yanqi Kingdom. It is definitely impossible for Zhang Zicheng to monopolize the salt industry alone. In addition, King Yanqi should not be deceived by Zhang Zicheng."

Long Zhengyang said: "Teacher, what does this mean?"

Hu Youshan said: "King Yanqi carefully arranged for people to investigate, and he knew how much money Zhang Zicheng had embezzled from the salt shop these years. The reason why he did this was for his own benefit, not because of loyalty."

"It is imperative to introduce new salt shops."

"Because it is impossible for the Yanqi Kingdom to allow Zhang Zicheng's Yanpu family to dominate again, otherwise, it will be the wrath of King Pingxi's thunder. I can do this now and ensure that Your Highness has income every month. I can do it. limit."

Hu Youshan spoke again.

Long Zhengyang said: "Teacher's great kindness, Long Zhengyang will remember it in his heart."

Hu Youshan shook his head, with a look of regret, and said: "Your Highness, what kind of favor does this old minister have? On the contrary, this old minister is ashamed of the former king and His Highness. Because

All this was caused by the old minister.If it weren't for the old minister, Yanqi Kingdom would definitely resist.Now, the old minister can only do his best. "

Long Zhengyang said: "Teacher, don't blame yourself. Speaking of it, King Pingxi is so powerful that even Yehu Khan, the Turkic leader, was defeated, let alone us? If we really resist, not only will countless people die tragically , I am afraid that even the ancestral temple cannot be preserved. Now, at least I am still alive, and the rankings of the ancestors and clans of my Long family are still there. This is enough."

Hu Youshan said: "His Royal Highness understands this truth, and the veteran is relieved. Contentment is always happy. Even if many people know it, they still cannot do it."

Long Zhengyang smiled.

He didn't say anything more, after thanking Hu Youshan, he turned and left.

Hu Youshan watched Long Zhengyang leave, but felt relieved in his heart.If Long Zhengyang is appeased, there is nothing to be afraid of Zhang Zicheng, because Zhang Zicheng who has lost his power is actually just an ordinary businessman, not worth mentioning.

Chapter 793 Sending Troops to Kucha

Kucha

Du Qi didn't care how Hu Youshan governed the Yanqi Kingdom.Because of matters related to supervision and discipline inspection, Jin Wuque is in charge.If there is no shortage of gold, the official administration of Yanqi Kingdom will naturally be rectified.

However, Du Qi paid attention to Hu Youshan's invitation of new salt merchants. At the beginning, Hu Youshan issued a notice to invite new salt merchants to enter, which caused a huge response.

Many salt merchants heard the news and came to contact them actively, hoping to sell salt in Yanqi Prefecture. In the end, Hu Youshan chose two salt merchants and allowed him to sell salt in Yanqi Prefecture.

In this way, with competition and comparison, the salt price in Yanqi Prefecture gradually fell, and finally entered a relatively stable price.Today's salt price is at least half of the original Yanqi country's salt price.

The people are happy to see it succeed.

All the common people praised Hu Youshan highly.Because of the current price, it is much cheaper for common people to eat salt.

Du Qi also approved of this situation.

In particular, Hu Youshan managed to stabilize Long Zhengyang's emotions while administering the administration, so that Long Zhengyang never resisted at all.Even Du Qi got the news that Long Zhengyang had a conflict with Zhang Zicheng for this, and in the end Zhang Zicheng didn't dare to say any more, so he honestly

The crystal salt shop, and Hu Youshan's first administration came into effect smoothly.

The reform of Yanqi Prefecture also proceeded accordingly.

Hu Youshan was extremely methodical in doing things, and his methods were light and heavy, and the reform was a major event. However, after the final adjustment of personnel, every official was grateful to Hu Youshan, and there was no resistance at all.

so that the reform proceeded smoothly.

At the end of June, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, but the development of Yanqi Prefecture has started to speed up.Because of the addition of Du Qi's business, plus the exemption of taxes and the abolition of corvee, the people's life is getting better and better.

In addition, there are many fortifications.

As a result, things are progressing very well.

On June 28, the morning of this day arrived near noon.The attendant entered the king's palace, saw Du Qi, and reported: "Your Highness, Yi Canjun has returned and is seeking an audience outside the palace."

Du Qi ordered: "Let him in."

"Yes!"

The servant immediately went to deliver the order.

Not long after, Yi Fusheng entered. After he entered the hall and stood still, he knelt down like an upside-down jade pillar, kowtowed to Du Qi and said: "Your Highness, I am incompetent and have failed Your Highness's trust. I have arrived in Kucha. He was imprisoned by the King of Kucha. Now that the King of Kucha has learned that His Royal Highness destroyed the Turks and won a great victory, the Kingdom of Kucha

The Lord released the minister and let him come back. "

"The minister is guilty of death!"

"Your Majesty, please come down!"

At this time, Yi Fusheng looked ashamed.Because this time he went to Kucha as an envoy, he actually failed.After he went to the country of Kucha, the leader of the country of Kucha imprisoned him without saying a word.Until now, the Lord of Kucha knew that Du Qi had won the Yanqi Kingdom, so he let him come back.It can be said that his mission this time did not help Du Qi at all.

Seeing Yi Fusheng's appearance, Du Qi said: "As for the matter of going on an envoy, it doesn't mean that if you go on an envoy, you will surely succeed. It also doesn't mean that if you go on an envoy, you must succeed to be credited. Your mission to Kucha Kingdom, Although it is a failure, it is good to be able to come back. It is extremely dangerous for an envoy to go on an envoy. Get up, this king does not blame you."

When Yi Fusheng heard this, he felt even more ashamed, because he did not complete the task.He stood up, stood below and said: "Your Highness, I came back and brought back the words of the Lord of Kucha. However, I think his words are not credible."

Du Qi said, "What are you talking about?"

Yi Fusheng said sternly: "The Lord of Kucha said that he congratulates His Highness on his great victory. In order to congratulate His Highness, he asked his ministers to bring a lot of wealth and jewelry. In addition, the Lord of Qiuci also said that he is willing to be a minister to His Highness. pay tribute."

When Du Qi heard this, he snorted coldly.

There was a stern look in his eyes.

Pay tribute!

Du Qi didn't need someone to be a minister and pay tribute. What he wanted was to completely control the Kucha Kingdom, and what he wanted was the submission of the entire Kucha Kingdom.

Yi Fusheng continued: "Your Highness, there are many people who are willing to surrender in the Kucha Kingdom. However, the leader of the Kucha Kingdom, Chi, vetoed it all by himself, which is why the humble officials were imprisoned at the beginning. As for now, there are also many people who are willing to surrender. People. Ke Chi was unwilling to surrender, so he chose to become a vassal and stand on his own."

Du Qidao: "Chi Ping chose to become a minister, but he only asked you to bring back money and treasures, and then asked you to bring a message. Could it be that no other envoys have been sent?"

"Yes!"

Yi Fusheng nodded and answered.

Du Qi sneered and said: "Chi Ping's actions are really arrogant! He has not even dispatched an envoy when he proclaimed himself a minister. Presumably, this proclaiming a minister is just a show, but in fact he is worried about sending envoys, which is easy to be judged by himself. Kill the king."

Yi Fusheng said: "Your Highness is wise!"

Du Qidao: "Now that the Yanqi Kingdom has been pacified, the next step is the Kucha Kingdom."

Immediately, Du Qi arranged for someone to call Guo Xiaozheng and Jiang Changzong over, and said: "We have already captured the Yanqi Kingdom, and my king's plan is to attack the Kucha Kingdom. Do you have any suggestions?"

Jiang Changzong heard the words and said: "Your Highness, this time the attack on the Kucha Kingdom will be carried out by the whole army.

Go to war, or just send a small number of people to fight against Kucha? "

Du Qi said: "This king is still in charge of the Yanqi Kingdom, and only sent an army to attack the Kucha Kingdom. After all, the Yanqi Kingdom has just surrendered, and everything is still unstable. The army suddenly left, and it is very likely that there will be fire in the rear. Yanqi Kingdom and Gaochang Kingdom have a little Different, so for the time being, I will not leave for the time being."
