Kidnapped by Princess Changle at the beginning

early morning.

In a barren field.

Two men dressed in Central Plains costumes but who looked like Tubo people gathered together.

A asked: "Onda, how much land did you reclaim yesterday?"

B smiled proudly: "The land I cultivated has already exceeded the area specified by the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper gave me an extra five cents..."

A was so envious: "Five cents, you can go to Shanzhou to buy a few catties of grain. By the way... I heard people say that Prime Minister Zuo, Mr. Menduo, has come to Shanzhou. He asked people to announce that we can't stay here." In Shanzhou, we are going back to Tubo..."

B: "What? Back to Tibet?"

A: "Yes!"

A was silent for a while, shook his head and said: "I don't want to go back... In Tubo, I, I am a slave. I work every day, no matter how much I do, I can only eat enough to eat. I want to stay in Shanzhou. I am a slave. If I want to farm, I heard people say that if I perform well, I can go to other places in Datang, to Chang'an City, and when I make money, I will go to Chang'an City..."

B thought for a while and said, "Actually, I don't want to go back either. I have already asked someone to write to my family, asking my family to come to Shanzhou."

……

Chapter 323 3 people came, less than [-] went back

On the spacious official road.

A team of people is walking slowly.

This is a caravan heading west.

A big flag flutters in the wind.

The banner is written: No.70 Second Caravan of West Datang Company.

This caravan, in addition to the driver, the businessman, and more than a dozen guards.

The duty of the guards is to find the way and drive away the beasts.

If there are horse bandits and thieves, the guards are also responsible for dealing with them.

The guards of the No.70 Second Caravan are all composed of Tubo people.

West Datang Company employs people of all kinds, regardless of whether you are from Datang, Tubo, or Tuyuhun, as long as you are loyal, you can join.

Not long after walking, the caravan stopped to rest and rectify.

More than a dozen guards gathered together.

An elderly man said: "Today, I received an order that Prime Minister Zuo came to Shanzhou to summon me to wait to go back. I am old and my family members were all killed in the war. I don't want to go back... ...If you have to go back, go tell the captain now, and then gather at the border of Shanzhou..."

Everyone looked at each other.

After a long while, everyone spoke one after another.

"I don't want to go back."

"I'm not going back either."

"I want to stay in Shanzhou. I heard that Ping Xibo recently promulgated a decree. Anyone who has been an employee of the West Datang Company can rent land in Shanzhou in the future. When I am old, I will find a Daughter-in-law, rent and plant more than ten acres of land, and live in Shanzhou."

……

at dusk.

The border between Shanzhou and Tubo.

Although this place is guarded by the Tang and Tubo armies, it is safe and sound.

The people of the two countries can travel freely.

The border that used to be tense is now peaceful.

A convoy stopped at the border of Tubo.

Prime Minister Zuo had many families, standing on the carriage, looking in the direction of Shanzhou, eager to see through.

He was waiting for the [-] gold diggers who were going to Shanzhou.

As long as 3 people are brought back, his mission will be completed.

"I don't know what happened to Ansi? I hope Ping Xibo will like her. If not, I have a little granddaughter..." Mendo said to himself.

If Chen Chu was present, he would definitely say: "Send it quickly, the more the better..."

half an hour.

In the direction of Datang, ten horses came.

Ten men in black came to Mendo.

Mendo hurriedly asked: "How is the gathering of personnel?"

Those 12 people, you look at me, I look at you.

The last man said: "Prime Minister Zuo, something is wrong. I ordered three days ago to gather the people who went to Shanzhou to prepare to return to Tubo. However, we received the news that most of our people were unwilling to return. Tibet is here... There were 3 people when they came, but now there are only more than 7000 people who are willing to go back."

What?

puff.

When Mendo heard this, he was shocked and fell off the carriage.

"Prime Minister Zuo!"

"Are you OK?"

Everyone hurried forward and helped Menduo up.

Mendo stood up, slapped the dust off his body, and said dumbfounded: "This...don't lie to me."

The man said: "Prime Minister Zuo, we dare not lie to you..."

That's true.

Mendo was dumbfounded.

3 people came.

Only 7000 people went back.

The rest, have all become traitors?

Mendo patted his chest, angrily: "These guys, they, they are not worthy of being the people of Tubo... Huh, hurry up and call those who are willing to leave back to Tubo, as for the other 2 people , it has a lot to do with it, I have to go back and report to Zanpu personally..."

Mendo felt like vomiting blood.

The population of Tubo is small.

Now more than 2 people have been lost at once, and these people come from various big tribes.

I don't know how many people want to settle accounts with them.

After explaining, Mendo hurried back to Luoxie City in a carriage.

The ten men in black stayed at the border, waiting for more than 7000 people who were willing to return to Tibet.

……

Shanzhou City.

Chen Chu and Li Tai sat opposite each other at a table.

Li Tai said: "Today, more than 8 mu of land in Shanzhou have been reclaimed. Zhu Neng and others have visited it personally. They are all high-quality land. Although it is not as good as Guanzhong, it is already good in Hexi. After the spring, it can be planted, all kinds of seeds will be sent one after another after the spring..."

"The [-] caravans of the Western Datang Company have also been formed. Yesterday, the last caravan set off for the Western Regions."

With Chen Chu in charge, Li Tai is also very confident in doing things.

Two of Chen Chu's three goals are already being implemented.

As Li Tai said, he was full of energy and confidence.

Chen Chu said: "Everything is under control, Qingque, from now on the West Datang Company will be handed over to you... In a few days, I will leave for Chang'an."

Li Tai asked: "That Ansi, wants to go back with you?"

During this period of time, Ansi took care of Chen Chu personally.

Angse does something.

It's okay, Angse!

Chen Chu's small days were called comfort.

When Chen Chu left, he naturally wanted to take him away.

Li Tai smiled mischievously: "Aren't you worried that Lizhi will know?"

Chen Chu didn't care about it: "Hmph, man, don't be afraid of shit! Who doesn't have three wives and four concubines yet."

Datang's son-in-law does not have a high status.

The most direct point is that the princesses are stronger, and the concubines are weaker.

So Li Tai was worried about Chen Chu.

Seeing that Chen Chu didn't care, he didn't worry anymore.

Li Tai said: "By the way, there is one more thing. Xue Rengui told me that recently, many people arrived at the border. He asked people to inquire, and found that there were more than 7000 people who went to the Flame Mountain to dig gold mines. I am planning to go back to Tibet, but as for the other 2 people, as you predicted, they are unwilling to go back... Hahaha..."

Changing hands made Shanzhou more than 2 people.

This deal is really a bargain.

Chen Chu was taken aback, and then realized: "Well, you have a lot of friends, I thought you just sent your granddaughter here, but I didn't expect you to pick them up quietly... More than 7000 people, you can't all go back, Qingque, I think it can be rescued."

"what?"

Li Tai was stunned.

Chen Chu instructed: "In this way, in the name of the West Datang Company, you can find an excuse to reward those hard-working gold diggers and take them around Shanzhou. The point is to let them feel the vitality and prosperity of Shanzhou. ..."

Li Tai was surprised and said: "Do you think that if those people see the prosperity and prosperity of Shanzhou, they won't go back?"

Chen Chu smiled and said, "It's definitely unrealistic for all people, but it's still possible for some people..."

"I'll do it right away. It would be best if more people can stay in Shanzhou."

"Shanzhou in the future will definitely be very prosperous."

Li Tai hurried to do it.

The next day.

The West Datang Company issued a notice, declaring that anyone who is a gold digger in Huoyan Mountain, who has been mining for more than three months, can report to the headquarters of the West Datang Company, and then can go to Shanzhou City for free for two days. Room and board are free.

……

Chapter 324 Population loss in Tubo

As soon as the notice from the Western Datang Company was issued, the gold diggers who had planned to gather at the border and then return to Tubo responded quickly and rushed to Shanzhou City one after another.

After these people arrived in Shanzhou from Tubo, they were sent directly to the Flame Mountain to mine. They didn't dig the mine for a few months, and the money and food from Tubo didn't arrive in time. Others went to work for the West Datang Company one after another. Still sticking to the Huoyan Mountain, they can be regarded as the group of people with relatively good concentration and perseverance.

They arrived at Shanzhou City for the first time.

I was immediately attracted by the prosperity and busyness of Shanzhou.

Shanzhou is completely different from Tubo.

The streets are full of shops, and people come and go, shoulder to shoulder. There are not only people from the Tang Dynasty, but also a large number of people from the Western Regions, among which there are many people from Tubo.

People wear silk and satin, and the clothes are gorgeous.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation are all completely different from those in Tubo.

As long as you have money, you can buy anything.

Several Tibetans stared at the candied haws sold by a peddler eagerly, swallowing their saliva, but they didn't have a single copper coin in their pockets.

At this time, I saw a man in silk clothes walking straight to a nearby restaurant.

Judging from his appearance, he is undoubtedly from Tubo.

More importantly, it was an acquaintance.
