God-level Governor of the Tang Dynasty

"Haha, the king of the county didn't go to those foreign countries in person. How would he know the profits here? To put it bluntly, most of them were swallowed up by the merchants in the middle, just like the overseas merchants this time. They bought it locally at a low price and then sold it at a high price. Give us Datang."

"Where did the money go?" Wang Xiu asked with a smile.

What the hell!

Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but complained about the case, and lost his voice: "Damn it, all the love money is in the hands of the businessman, we just earned a little hard-earned money."

He didn't think so before, but after Wang Xiu said this, the difference in the price of the money is not all in the hands of the merchant.

"merchant!"

A cold light flashed in Li Xiaogong's eyes, as the king of Hejian County, he is also a member of the royal relatives, so naturally he also has a part in the Western Regions, he used to think that the money was divided a lot, but now it seems that it is only a small part.

Buying low and selling high is really a good way.

Cheng Yaojin suddenly put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Wang Xiu with a half-smile and said, "Wang Xiu, I'm afraid you have some ulterior motives for telling me and Lao Li about this."

When this kid was with Liang Yucheng, he didn't mention this, but now he took the initiative to explain the profit. He definitely has some ideas.

"Hahaha, Mr. Su really has good eyesight."

Wang Xiu couldn't help laughing, whoever said Cheng Yaojin was an idiot, this guy was clearly a man, and he could see his own thoughts at a glance, which is not something a warrior can tell.

Great wisdom is like a fool!

"Hmph, I don't understand you kid, but you are able to play with the eldest grandson Fox's people between applause, how can you be a fuel-efficient lamp, and say such a big benefit for no reason, this is definitely something to ask for." Cheng Biting Jin said with a sly face.

"That's right. I want to unite the two of you to see how big the overseas market really is. I can't trust this overseas businessman." Wang Xiu said honestly.

Hearing Wang Xiu's words, Li Xiaogong and Cheng Yaojin looked at each other and couldn't help but secretly nodded.

If this is the case, it makes sense, but this overseas market is not so easy, after all, sea transportation is not easy.

After a long silence, Li Xiaogong said in a deep voice, "What do you need us to do, and your own strength is enough to carry it by sea, right?"

Although he is the king of the county, no one dislikes people with a lot of money. This thing will only be needed more and more.

"If you want to enter the sea, you need a large ship. I need you to help me build a large shipyard. I can't trust this overseas businessman. After all, this is his source of income." Wang Xiu said seriously.

That's right, he took the initiative to expose the profits in order to pull Li Xiaogong and Cheng Yaojin into the chariot, and at the same time obtain the qualifications to build large warships. It's best to fool them into killing Pyu.

At that time, he can take the opportunity to obtain a large amount of iron and iron, and even hard currencies such as gold and silver. These are all resources.

As a governor of Jiaozhou, it is not enough just to own the land, but also needs to be built, which requires a lot of material resources.

"Shipyard?"

Li Xiaogong frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Entering the vast sea, the requirements for warships are not low. Are you sure you can make this kind of warship?"

"We are not good at this stuff either. After all, the Tang Dynasty has been developing cavalry in recent years to deal with the Turks. The sea power is extremely limited." Cheng Yaojin also looked embarrassed, this warship is not easy to handle.

Wang Xiu chuckled and said softly, "As long as you have money, you can buy nothing, even the blueprints for shipbuilding."

what!

The eyes of the two brightened, and they thought of the sea ship of the mysterious merchant. This kid Wang Xiu was probably thinking about the war ship. It would be great if he could get the technology.

"It's interesting. If there is such a terrifying profit, you can try it. That mysterious businessman can do it. There is no reason why we can't do it." Cheng Yaojin laughed.

To be honest, he was really tempted.

Although he appears to be Su Guogong on the surface, it can be said that he has a high position and authority, but in fact, his status as a duke in the family is average, because his wife is from the Cui family of Qinghe, a real member of the five surnames and seven Wangs. .

Although he is the Duke of the state, he often has no confidence in front of the Cui family, especially when it comes to money.

If he can really make such a profit, he can regain his glory and let the Cui family see what a real local tyrant is, or the one who spends money like water.

"Of course, with the support of Hejian County King and Su Guogong, it will go smoothly." Wang Xiu laughed.

From the expressions on their faces, he could tell that they were in love.

Mi Zhu can sell rice at sky-high prices, so they can also sell silk and tea at sky-high prices. This is completely operational.

Compared with the Silk Road in the Western Regions, this is the Maritime Silk Road, and the profits will definitely not be low.

"You can try it!"

The two looked at each other, nodded and agreed. As for the specific matters, we still have to investigate slowly.

Wang Xiu was not in a hurry, he could also get a lot of money with the help of Mi Zhu's mysterious identity, which was enough to support the operation of Jiaozhou.

Now he only needs to wait for the rice harvest, and then harvest a wave of achievements. Naturally, a large number of people will come to seek cooperation, and naturally there is no shortage of money.

At this time, there was a sudden noise of gongs and drums outside, which disturbed the three people who were drinking and chatting.

"Captain, the Holy One's angel is here." Qinglong hurried in and whispered in Wang Xiu's ear.

"An angel is here?"

Wang Xiu's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that the emperor wanted to benefit him again, but he didn't know what it was all about this time. At least he should be promoted.

Li Xiaogong and Cheng Yaojin's hearts were also moved. I'm afraid they also made arrangements for this imperial decree.

The three of them rushed to greet them, after all, this was the emperor's envoy, so they couldn't be neglected.

After seeing the person proclaiming the decree, Wang Xiu hadn't spoken yet, but Cheng Yaojin couldn't help being surprised and said, "Tang Jian, how can you pass the decree, and you need to come here in person, your Honglu Temple has nothing to do? "

Tang Jian!

Hearing this name, Wang Xiu couldn't help being stunned, it turned out to be this person.

Tang Jian seemed to have offended Li Shimin because of some unwarranted things, so he was removed from the Household Department and became the head of Honglu Temple, responsible for a little soy sauce for foreign guests.

After seeing Wang Xiu, Tang Jian smiled: "Nephew, long time no see, you have grown up, how time flies."

Chapter 52

puff!

Wang Xiu almost vomited blood. What is the situation? Why does Tang Jian seem to be very familiar with him, and he actually calls him nephew.

"Why do you feel like you are being blamed, Duke Ju, please don't trick me."

He couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling. If he was familiar with this person, wouldn't that be killing him.

Just look at what Li Shimin said about running him, you know how much Li Shimin hates this guy, he just wants to mess with him just by looking at him.

According to the legend, Tang Jian won the position of minister because he played chess with Li Shimin and occupied a favorable position from the beginning, which made Li Shimin furious.

Afterwards, I still felt upset, so I told Yuchi Jingde, "This guy Tang Jian doesn't respect me, and I'm going to kill him. If you testify to me, just say that this kid is messing around outside."

If it wasn't for Yuchi Jingde's integrity, Tang Jian would probably be cold now.

Listen, is this a fucking reason?

This is completely an excuse.

Even if Tang Jian abused Li Shimin by playing Go, he wouldn't be so rude to kill him, it's obvious that Li Shimin was jealous and loathed him, so he found an excuse to kill him.

Looking at Tang Jian with a kind face, Wang Xiu said with a dry smile, "Yes, my father has been dead for a year, and he was still thinking about you before he died."

The subtext is big brother, don't lie to me, the Wang Yuan you are familiar with is dead, so don't hurt me.

Hearing the words, Tang Jian sighed and sighed: "Nephew, don't worry, even though your father passed away, I still treat you as a nephew. If you have anything to do in the future, just come to me."

puff!

Wang Xiu's eyes went dark, he thought I didn't die fast enough, and I was treated like a nephew.

He also wanted to break up with Tang Jian, but he couldn't bear to see Tang Jian like this, and said with a wry smile: "Uncle, don't worry, but you have to take care of yourself."

"Hey!"

Mentioning this, Tang Jian immediately let out a long sigh. What problems did he have now? They were all soy sauce, and the worst was beheading.

Cheng Yaojin on the side saw the two of them like this, and said angrily: "Hey, you two are endless, now it's a decree, why are you so sensational?"

Tang Jian laughed dryly, and took out the imperial decree from the box behind him.

"Wang Xiu accepts the order!"

"Chen Wangxiu accepts the order!"

Tang Jian took a deep breath and solemnly read it out.

"Master: If the command of the governor of Jiaozhou, Wang Xiu, was determined, [-] troops defeated [-] barbarians and won a great victory in Jiaozhou. This battle not only demonstrated the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, but also opened up a large amount of territory for the Tang Dynasty. It should be the first achievement in the Southwest. "

"Wang Xiu was promoted to be the Governor of Zhennan, and his jurisdiction included Jiaozhou, Wu'an Prefecture, Aizhou and other Kyushu states. Southwest of Tangyong Town."

"All the seizures this time belong to the Governor's Mansion in the south of the town, and another [-] guan and [-] pieces of silk will be rewarded..."

"The minister leads the decree to thank you."

Wang Xiu, who received the imperial decree, had a strange expression on his face. This Heman tribe was actually changed into Zhennan Mansion. Could it be that Li Shimin knew that after many years, there would be Duan Zhengchun, the king of Zhennan here.

After reading the imperial decree, Tang Jian couldn't help laughing and said: "Congratulations, nephew, your speed of promotion is unprecedented in the Tang Dynasty. Except for Ma Zhou, everyone else has no hope."

Wang Xiu smiled wryly and said, "Uncle, there must be people coming to this place where the birds don't shit. I don't want to be promoted here. The climate here is not something ordinary people can bear."

This is the truth, most people can't stay here for long, otherwise he would become the governor of Jiaozhou.

This was completely because no one else wanted to come, so it was Wang Xiu's turn.

As for Ma Zhou Wangxiu, he naturally knew that this man was a great man, and his promotion was rare in history, because he did have talent.

"That's true."

Hearing Wang Xiu's words, Cheng Yaojin nodded, frowned and said, "The climate here is really not right. I've only been in Jiaozhou for a few days, and I feel bad all over."

"Yeah, I also feel a little uncomfortable, and my whole body feels stiff." Li Xiaogong also had a bitter look on his face, his health is still poor, and he felt a little unbearable after only a few days.

"No, it's such an exaggeration, it won't kill people, right?"

Hearing what the two said, Tang Jian's complexion changed slightly, and his scalp tingled when he thought of the previous nightmare legend.

This place in Jiaozhou is not really so evil, people will die if they stay for a long time.

Thinking of this, he didn't care about his nephews, he just wanted to finish the task quickly and leave, this place is not a place for people to stay, even generals like Cheng Yaojin and Li Xiaogong can't stand it, he has stayed here for a long time , is definitely a death ah.

"Nephew, you send someone to take me to Zhennan Mansion. After finishing the territory mapping, I have to return to Chang'an as soon as possible. I'm afraid I can't handle the climate here." Tang Jian said with a wry smile.

Wang Xiu shook his head and said with a smile: "Actually, the reason why this happened to Hejian County King and Su Guogong is that the miasma in the south is too heavy, and people who are not in good health will deteriorate and even get infected with the virus. The most famous one who died in this way was the champion Hou Huo who got sick."

What the hell!

After hearing this sentence, the three of them swallowed in unison. No wonder no one else in Jiaozhou is willing to come, the miasma is so serious.

The scalps of the three were numb, it seems that this is not a place to stay for a long time.

Seeing the unsightly faces of the three, Wang Xiu showed a smile and continued: "The second is that the climate is not acclimatized. You are used to the climate in the north, but you are naturally not used to the hot and humid climate of Jiaozhou. This is just like the Tang Dynasty. When the soldiers arrived in Tubo, they were just like Tuyuhun, feeling weak all over, in fact, it was just altitude sickness."

As soon as this remark came out, Li Xiaogong and Cheng Yaojin couldn't help shrinking their pupils, and lost their voices: "Altitude sickness?"

They knew Li Shimin's plan, and sooner or later they would attack Tuyuhun. If the altitude sickness was serious, they would be in big trouble.

"Yes, this altitude sickness is a unique reaction in places such as Tubo, Nanzhao, and Jiaozhou. People who have lived in the Central Plains for a long time will suddenly have difficulty breathing and lack of oxygen, and may even die from general weakness."

The faces of the two of them suddenly turned ugly. This is not good news.

Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but frowned and said, "It turns out that this is altitude sickness. No wonder when I fought Tuyuhun, I felt weak all over. If you say that, they will have problems when they come down to our Tang Dynasty?"

"Yes, that's called altitude sickness, and you'll also feel weak and lose your appetite. It's very uncomfortable, but strictly speaking, altitude sickness is much more serious."

"Actually, Tuyuhun is not bad. After all, the height is there, neither high nor low, but Tubo is different. The general Datang people really can't stand it."

Wang Xiu explained with a smile.

Chapter 53

"It's so, it's really unheard of!"

Li Xiaogong couldn't help sighing, Wang Yuan gave birth to a good son, if Wang Xiu hadn't explained the confusion, he would never have known it was altitude sickness for the rest of his life.

At first they always thought that this was a trick of the Tibetans, poisoning or something.

After working for a long time, it turned out that their terrain was too high.

"These souls live so high, why don't you drop them to death and cause us such trouble." Cheng Yaojin picked his nostrils and said speechlessly.

This fucking Tubo still has natural protection, which is simply too unfair.

Fortunately, when they came down, they also had altitude sickness, otherwise he really wanted to curse.

"Since you are so clear, how can you overcome it?" Li Xiaogong looked at Wang Xiu with a hopeful expression on his face.
