Tang's dining table

Yun Chu spread his hands and said: "Look, this is how things are. I don't know what the marquis in you two will become in the future. Maybe, it will become a real baron?"

From now on, when the empire holds a banquet, you two brothers will sit outside the main hall just like when I went to court?

Seeing the big shots inside drinking and talking happily, but you can only entertain yourself with the cold wine and food blown by the wind?

If some people you don't like sit in the hall and occasionally send some leftover wine to your brothers, I don't believe that your brothers can bear to fight each other? "

Yunchu really hoped that the Wu brothers could enter Chang'an.

It's not that these two brothers are highly capable or irreplaceable, but that after his many years of education, these two brothers have become perfect Chang'an.

It has Changan thinking, Changan standards, and even Changan's unique perspective on things.

Such people can do things when they come to Chang'an, and they can contribute to Chang'an when they come to Chang'an. Not to mention, after the two brothers enter Chang'an, the emperor, the queen, including officials and gentry are worried about Chang'an becoming a self-contained entity. Disappear immediately.

The economic development of a place is definitely a top-down process, and rarely, very rarely, bottom-up development occurs.

It will be very important for Yunchu to clarify the power network of Chang'an and then make Chang'an's economic development appear to be a matter of course.

It is very, very inappropriate to hold on to the imperial power and prevent other forces from entering Chang'an. If it lasts longer, people in other places will no longer regard Chang'an as one of their own.

How could Chang'an, a country with enemies all over the world, develop an economy? It should develop military power!

Economy and war are always two opposite things.

One is responsible for construction and the other is responsible for destruction. In this world, no matter where Datang is built, Datang will ultimately benefit. And as long as a war occurs on the land of Datang, it will definitely be Datang who is harmed. .

And everyone understands one truth - it is much easier to destroy than to build.

Therefore, as long as there is a war between Chang'an and the Tang Dynasty, the destruction of the Tang Dynasty will not be far away.

The only beneficiaries of war are the heroes, the heroes with great ambitions.

In peaceful times, whether it is a single man who dominates the people or a hero who dominates the world to create the right time for himself, he should be cut into pieces!

I would rather be a peace dog than a person in troubled times. These ten words explain many truths.

Tianjie tramples all the bones of the minister, which is very relieved and very happy. However, only those who have the mentality to avoid the enemy are the real good people.

Therefore, Yun Chu hopes that he is such a person.

Open up Chang'an's mind, embrace outsiders, change outsiders, and assimilate outsiders.

He plans to start with the Wu brothers.

"Our brothers can also gain political achievements in other places." Wu Chengsi thought for a long time before slowly saying to Yun Chu.

Yun Chu sneered and said: "The world's power comes from Chang'an and Luoyang. Apart from these two places, there is no other place. Moreover, the origin of the title is not to reward high-ranking officials, but to reward military meritorious officials.

In the past, Shang Jun's mother was a slave and his younger brother was a war slave. So what if Shang Jun fiefdomed fifteen cities? Until he was quartered by five horses, the blind mother remained a slave and was killed along with him, while his younger brother died in battle without merit.

Over the past thousand years, the Tang Dynasty was founded in Qin, and the Qin Law was implemented. However, the Qin Law of the Tang Dynasty was relatively peaceful and loose. Now, Your Majesty is preparing to reorganize the title of nobility. This kind of favor from your brothers How long do you think the no-name Marquis can last? "

Wu San thought thoughtfully and said: "Luoyang, it's not impossible."

Yun Chu smiled and said, "Are you the majority in Luoyang?"

Wu Chengsi shook his head and said: "Minority, very small minority."

Yun Chu asked again: "Are you brothers a minority in Chang'an?"

Wu Chengsi pondered for a moment and said: "The way our brothers do things is in the same vein as Chang'an."

Yun Chu asked again: "Is it more likely that a certain family will lead the army in the expedition, or your brother will lead the army in the expedition?"

Wu Sansi said with emotion: "Of course he is a prince."

Yunchu said again: "Do you think I will swallow up your military achievements?"

Wu Chengsi said: "The prince even wants to preserve the title of his traitorous general Li Yuance, let alone our brothers."

Yun Chu sighed and said: "Come to Chang'an. Although you will earn less, it is much more reliable to give a long-term title to your descendants than to leave some money to your descendants."

Wu Chengsi cupped his hands and said, "Why do you want our brothers to go to Chang'an?"

Yun Chu sighed and said: "For many years, Chang'an has been impenetrable and airtight, which has hindered Chang'an's further development. We need foreign aid and more living space.

You brothers are the only people I can see in the court who can enter Chang'an and are suitable to enter Chang'an. "

Wu San thought: "The queen rejected the prince's suggestion."

Yun Chu looked at Wu Chengsi blankly. Wu Chengsi nodded and said, "Okay, I will be in charge of the queen's place."

Yun Chu nodded, then stood up and left without any hesitation.

Wu Sansi looked at the charming maid with boredom, and said to Wu Chengsi: "Brother, I remember when Yun Chu first came here, we brothers were still talking about not being in the fire pit."

Wu Chengsi sat on the chair with his big belly in his arms and said: "We brothers have no shortage of money, food, and land. What we lack is the power that can be passed down, such as the title. Yun Chu has grasped our vital points and cannot tolerate us. Resist.”

Wu San thought: "Should we explain this to the queen?"

Wu Chengsi sighed and said: "Don't mention us, just say that we did this entirely for the queen."

Wu Sansi nodded. He was still deeply afraid of entering Chang'an as an official.

When Yunchu left the Wu brothers' mansion, he saw Helan Minzhi outside.

Helan Minzhi has changed a lot since being repelled by Yong Wangxian. Although he is a strong man, unfortunately, since Zhou Guogong's title was reduced, he has become an ordinary person.

It is actually quite easy for ordinary people to live in Luoyang as an ordinary person. However, Helan Minzhi does not want to live an ordinary life as an ordinary person. He wants a better life, so he now lives a It's very difficult.

It is not easy for a person with huge wealth but nothing to live in Luoyang. However, He Lanminzhi and his wife are both very angry people and refuse to give money to the urban foxes and rats in Luoyang. Therefore, the lawsuit Being haunted is inevitable.

He now has hundreds of Tibetan subordinates under his command. This is his biggest reliance at present, but he cannot rely on him for long. His servants have suffered serious losses due to many accidents.

Today one will die in a fight, tomorrow one will be hit by a carriage, and the day after tomorrow there will be another who bleeds after eating. As long as the urban foxes and rats in Luoyang are willing to work hard, all the Tibetan servants in He Lanmin's house will die sooner or later.

In the past, there were many Tubo slaves in Luoyang City. Unfortunately, Tubo slaves were very useful on the plateau. After arriving in the Tang Dynasty, they died easily and were not durable.

Gradually, the prices for Tibetan slaves became unaffordable, and there were fewer slave traders selling Tibetan slaves. Only some remained in Shu. Later, Lun Qinling took the Tubo people away from the Tubo Plateau to the warm Niboluo and Lancang Kingdoms. There were very few Tubo people in the Tang Dynasty.

In Chang'an, the rights of merchants and caravans from foreign countries are well guaranteed. Even if something happens, it will only happen after they leave Chang'an.

After all, Chang'an is the largest trading area in the Tang Dynasty. If foreign merchants often die in Chang'an, it will have a great impact on Chang'an's economy and trade. Therefore, if foreigners want to live in the Tang Dynasty for a long time, Chang'an is the first choice.

There are some subtle differences between Luoyang and Chang'an.

Because the emperor is here, the group of scholar-officials is much larger than that in Chang'an. Where the scholar-officials gather, there are fewer resources to make money, and competition is extremely fierce. Under this situation, it is difficult for foreigners to survive in Luoyang.

Since Di Renjie is not in Luoyang, the public security in Luoyang is very poor. The urban foxes and rats are very rampant. Large groups have formed one after another, fighting endlessly for territory all day long.

It was because of this situation that Di Renjie, who had made great achievements in governing Chang'an, was transferred to the position of Minister of Dali Temple in Luoyang.

He Lan Minzhi saw Yun Chu first, so he turned away to avoid greeting Yun Chu.

Yun Chu also saw He Lan Minzhi, and found that he was standing in the crowd waiting to pay homage to the Wu brothers. He turned around, did not say hello to him, and rode away surrounded by the generals at home.

Many times, fate is stronger than people, and it only takes a blink of an eye to go from the sky to hell.

When the Helan family became rich and powerful, Helan Minzhi looked down upon it, and even had the intention of destroying the Helan family and put it into practice.

Finally, after the Duke of Zhou, which represented the glory of the Helan family, was completely deposed, Helan Minzhi discovered that the thing he once hated had actually been protecting him.

"My master won't see any guests today!"

The disciple of the Wu family shouted loudly to the crowd guarding outside.

Those who wanted to see the Wu brothers retreated regretfully.

He Lanmin took a step forward, held Menzi's hand and said, "He Lan Minzhi and the Wu family are relatives. Please report this on my behalf."

Menzi felt the hard copper coin in his hand, thought about it and said, "Wait."

Helan Minzhi felt relieved. As long as he could see the Wu brothers, he would be sure to take shelter from the Wu brothers' disciples and avoid the harassment from the city's foxes and rats.

The Wu brothers were not smart people, and Helan Minzhi knew this very well. He even felt that he had great confidence in controlling the two brothers and eventually becoming his own puppets.

Helan Minzhi was a very patient person, so he stood at the door of the Wu family's mansion, waiting from the bright sun until the sun set, but there was still no reply from the doorman.

What he didn't know was that at this very moment, the disciple who took his money was using his money to buy roast chicken and wine, and was getting carried away eating.

As for helping him report to the Wu brothers.

As the wine and meat gradually disappeared, they were completely forgotten by the disciples.
