Kidnapped by Princess Changle at the beginning

The plan of the two was kept secret.

But many gold diggers in the Flame Mountain have lost their patience.

The day after Cheng Yaojin and Changsun Wuji left, people left the Flame Mountain one after another.

First, the people of the big clan withdrew.

Then, the civilians planned to withdraw.

However, after these people walked out of the Flame Mountain, they realized that they were penniless and had nothing but tools such as hoes and hammers they carried with them.

Under the Flame Mountain.

Thousands of ordinary people who had exhausted their patience and planned to leave, were in scanty clothes, crying with each other in their arms.

"Can not go back!"

"To go to Chang'an, there is no carriage or horse, and I don't know how long it takes to get there in the Year of the Monkey."

"Uuuuuuu..."

Everyone cried together.

Among them, many came from all over the Tang Dynasty, and the farthest came from the south.

These people have completely collapsed.

There is no going back at all.

At this moment, not far away, a group of people suddenly appeared.

The first person was a young man riding a tall horse.

He rode forward to the crowd and said loudly: "Don't cry..."

Everyone saw that the young man was gorgeously dressed and had an extraordinary bearing, accompanied by a group of vicious guards.

So, everyone looked up and looked at each other curiously.

The young man nodded with satisfaction: "Very good... Let me tell you, this king is the Yue King of Datang and the general manager of the Western Datang Company. Taste, therefore, intends to give everyone a way to survive... That is, from now on, the West Datang Company will recruit various kinds of manpower, and those who are willing to join can sign up voluntarily to work as hired workers in the West Datang Company, and each person will get five dollars a day As for Wenqian’s wages, as long as you do it for three to five months, you can make up for the travel expenses back to your hometown, think about it clearly.”

what?

Everyone present was taken aback.

Everyone couldn't believe it.

But I saw that the people brought by Li Tai, the king of Shu, had already set up a large tent around them.

Before each big rise, there is a sign hanging.

Recruit masons.

Recruit bricklayers.

Recruit farmers.

Recruit cooks.

Recruit strong men.

Recruit Mr. Accountant.

Recruit guards.

Recruit coachmen.

……

There are all kinds of recruitment.

Everyone was dazzled.

In order to take care of those illiterate people, Li Ke specially sent a person to shout loudly in front of each big tent.

When people read it, they naturally understand it.

At first, everyone couldn't believe it.

But gradually, curious people stepped forward.

A skinny middle-aged man walked up to the big tent for recruiting accountants, and asked embarrassingly, "I... can I be recruited?"

The recruiter asked, "Can you read and write?"

"Reading and literacy."

"Here are two math problems, you can do it and see."

The middle-aged man took a piece of paper and began to calculate.

After a short time, he finished and handed the paper back.

The recruiter took a look at it, and was immediately pleasantly surprised: "Oh, sir, our caravan needs talents like you. If you join our caravan, I will give you [-] Wen a day, and it can be increased in the future." , what do you think?"

Next to it, in the big tent for recruiting Mr. Private School, a man ran over and said, "Sir, don't listen to him. We plan to open private schools around Shanzhou. How can someone who can read and write like Mr. Do it?" Mr. accountant, you should come to my place and be a private school teacher, and I will give you thirty coins..."

The person who recruited Mr. Accountant said disdainfully: "Don't listen to him, Mr. Private School, although it is thirty yuan a day now, it will be the same price in the future, but it is different when you come to our caravan. Every month there is an increase, and in the future, fifty or one hundred coins, it is possible..."

The middle-aged man thought about it, and felt that he would not stay in Shanzhou for a long time, and making money was more important, so he chose to join the big account of recruiting private schools.

Soon, he signed a contract.

Someone brought him five hundred Wen and said, "Sir, this is what you spent during this time, and it will be deducted from you on a daily basis..."

That is the real Kaiyuan Tongbao.

Everyone is watching.

Seeing that the middle-aged man was successfully recruited, many people were jealous and believed that the West Datang Company was not lying.

As a result, everyone stepped forward one after another, choosing a large account that suits them to sign up.

This time, the West Datang Company has recruited a very large number of people, and all kinds of people are needed.

Naturally, as long as anyone is willing to join, there is a suitable place.

……

Chapter 321 Changes in Tubo

As time went by, more and more gold diggers walked out of the Flame Mountain full of disappointment.

What greeted them was the warm and thoughtful recruitment from the West Datang Company.

Some people were curious, but more people joined the West Datang Company out of helplessness.

Li Tai organized these people, organizing caravans and planting at the same time.

half a month later.

The twelve caravans of the Western Datang Company set off from Shanzhou and went west to do business in the countries of the Western Regions.

They brought silk, spices, refined salt, matches, soap and other rare things from Tang Dynasty to the countries of the Western Regions, and then exchanged them for local special goods, and brought them back to the people of Datang.

At the same time, the farmers recruited by the West Datang Company have started to reclaim the wasteland non-stop.

According to Chen Chu's plan, the land should be reclaimed a few years ago, and the planting can begin after the spring begins.

And although the number of people in the Flame Mountain is gradually decreasing, there are still a steady stream of people coming here from various places in the Tang Dynasty.

Although some people left, Chen Chu was not worried that no one would join the West Datang Company.

What's more, there are still a group of people in Tubo who are not in place.

……

Tibet.

Logical cities.

Songtsan Gampo was very happy after Prime Minister Zuo Menduo brought back the agreement signed with Chen Chu.

Immediately, he asked his ministers to select young men from various tribes to form the gold digger army in Tubo.

This group of people was personally escorted to the border by Mendo.

Then, according to the agreement between Mendo and Chen Chu, this group of people will be broken up into pieces, pretending to be businessmen, passing through the border, reaching Shanzhou, and then going to the Flame Mountain to dig for gold.

After the army of gold diggers set off, Songtsen Gampo summoned the ministers to the palace.

He looked at the crowd and said, "Everyone, I'm afraid my Tubo gold rush army has already entered Shanzhou... In order to thank Chen Chu, Ben Zanpu promised to give him [-] catties of cotton next year, but my Tubo cotton Not much. In addition, I owed a lot of cotton to buy grain, salt and iron... After discussing with the two prime ministers, Ben Zamp decided to plant cotton in Tubo. The land that is not used for grazing is planted with cotton. In the coming year, as long as there is more cotton, we can exchange more food and goods from the West Datang Company..."

"Zanpu Shengming."

Everyone was overjoyed.

Since the arrival of the Western Datang Company, the life of the Tubo people has undergone tremendous changes.

Especially the aristocrats, they have money and can use cotton to pay off their bills, so they bought many novelty things from the West Datang Company.

People from all tribes want to cooperate with the West Datang Company to obtain more rare items.

Before that, no one knew what to do.

Now, with Songtsen Gampo's permission to let everyone grow cotton, there is nothing to say, it must be planted, and the more you plant, the better.

Because, since the arrival of the Western Datang Company, the currency of Tubo has declined instead.

Cotton became the main commodity of the transaction.

Even so, everyone in Tubo, from Songtsan Gampo to ordinary people, didn't notice anything wrong with it.

And the leaders of the various tribes, after they returned, directly ignored Songtsan Gampo's words.

Songtsan Gampo asked the various tribes to grow cotton without destroying the pastures.

But the tribal leaders didn't care about this. After returning, they asked people to shovel all the pastures and plant them all with cotton.

As for the previous cattle and sheep, there is no place to feed them?

That's easy too!

The West Datang Company also bought cattle and sheep, especially horses, and sold them all.

Therefore, the large tracts of land in Tubo were quietly planted with cotton.

Songtsan Gampo knew nothing about all this.

He is still immersed in his plan to make Tubo powerful.

……

a few months later.

The Tang Dynasty has passed the new year, and spring is here.

Rebirth.

In some cities, it is still a little cold.

Songtsen Gampo summoned the left and right prime ministers to the palace.

Mendo asked: "I don't know why Zanpu summoned us here?"

Songtsan Gampo asked: "Prime Minister Zuo, at the beginning, Ben Zanpu asked you to send a gold digging army to Shanzhou, with a total of 3 people. I don't know how many gold mines these people dug?"

Menduo showed a bit of bitterness at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Zanpu, I've been watching this matter... A few days ago, I just received a letter from Shanzhou. Our 3 people, in that flaming mountain, are a gold mine. Didn't dig..."

3 people went there for several months.

Got nothing.

It cost a lot of money, because these people have to eat, wear clothes, and use tools.

Songtsan Gampo was stunned.

What is this called?

"How could this be?" He asked in disbelief.

Mendo analyzed: "Zanpu, I think that most of our people are late for this matter. There are not many gold mines in Huoyan Mountain, and they have been dug up by the people of Datang..."

Songtsan Gampo lost his mind and said, "I was careless. I thought that this group of people could bring a batch of gold to Ben Zanpu, but now it seems that it can't be realized. If this is the case, let these people come back. The 3 There are 1 people, all warriors of the Tubo army, it is not appropriate to stay in Shanzhou..."

Menduo nodded: "Zanpu, I'll send someone to send a letter to Shanzhou to call these people back."
