Chapter 166 Chen Ying will not treat her cousin unfairly

Li Xiuning looked at Chen Ying curiously and asked, "What else do you think?"

"Since ancient times, the people in the Western Regions have been strong, unruly, and unruly, and are not subject to the laws of the king!" Chen Ying smiled slightly and said, "Our Tang Dynasty was newly incorporated into Xizhou Road, and all ethnic groups and tribes were difficult to adapt to the laws of the Tang Dynasty for a while."

Li Xiuning nodded. Chen Ying agreed with what he said. When Qin State used Shang Yang's reforms to strengthen, and the Qin State ruled the country with law, the people had already adapted to the strictness of Qin's law, so they felt it was okay. However, the six countries in Guandong did not agree with it. They had already become distracted for hundreds of years and could not adapt to the constraints of Qin's law. When millions of Qin troops were eyeing them, they had resentment and could only be buried in their hearts. In the long run, the resentment was accumulated as a mountain, until Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in Daze Township rebelled and the six countries responded.

This is the situation in the Western Regions now. With Chen Ying, the great vassal and the Modao Army, the cavalry army will not dare to move in the Western Regions for one day. However, once Chen Ying is transferred back to Guanzhong, or the two elite troops of the Modao Army and the Xiaodao Army will be transferred back to Guanzhong, all ethnic groups and divisions of the Western Regions will probably spread sparks like the six Kanto Kingdoms at the end of the Qin Dynasty!

Chen Ying continued: "I have now transferred all the ethnic groups and tribes, all the young and strong, and took them to build roads, clear ditches, build cities, and carry out various engineering constructions, with the purpose of making them adapt to the constraints of the law!"

Whether it is paving roads and bridges or clearing ditches, Chen Ying adopted military control. Military laws and whips will teach them what can be done and what cannot be done. Of course, the most important thing is that Chen Ying did not exploit all ethnic groups and tribes in the Western Regions without compensation, but paid services. The benefits received by all ethnic groups and tribes in the Western Regions are, and the young and strong people who participated in the engineering infrastructure have received wages and of course money. After these young and strong people have money, they always have to make clothes for their families, or buy some salt and various daily necessities. As the roads become more and more developed, the dining tables of the people of all ethnic groups and tribes in the Western Regions have become richer and their families have become richer.

The construction of roads stimulates the prosperity of commerce. The transportation of goods and prices from Chang'an to Central and Western Asia are naturally different from Chang'an in Guanzhong. It is also a pound of tea, but a tuft of ordinary tea in Chang'an in Guanzhong is only 3,000 or 5,000 yuan at best. Of course, the prices of top-quality famous tea are naturally different, but the rare things are considered expensive. As long as it is expensive, the output will definitely be extremely low.

However, when the tea is transported to Xizhou Road, the price has actually increased by five or six times. No tea can be bought without the second or thirty guan. There is also silk. The price of a piece of silk in Chang'an ranges from 500 guan or two guan, but the value on Xizhou Road has reached ten guan. Moreover, the resources in the Western Regions are very rich. Chen Ying uses the steel, coal, and tincture oil mined, which are all hard currency. The tincture oil refined by Chen Ying is fierce when burning and has high flames. The ash produced when refining the tincture oil is actually the best raw material for ink making. Various precious medicinal materials and spices are simply endless.

Chen Ying developed the Western Regions, which actually benefited the whole people. Although all ethnic groups and tribes in the Western Regions had worked, they received corresponding rewards. They could eat rice and white flour that they had never dared to even imagine, as well as golden millet, and even drink tea. In the Western Regions, people's dietary habits were very easy to get anorectal and digestive system diseases, while tea had the effect of promoting digestion, especially salt. Although there were salt mines in the Western Regions, most of the salt was toxic salt. The caravans carried their own salt, while Chen Ying adopted the analysis and separation method to obtain a large amount of salt, which could not only be supplied to merchants along the way, but also exported in large quantities.

The Western Regions are now on the ground with a main building of ten thousand feet high, making gratifying progress.

Li Xiuning casually looked through the newspaper in front of Chen Ying and various information, and smiled: "You are now setting up a suspicion array?"

Chen Ying smiled without comment and said, "It seems that there is nothing to hide from you!"

"This is not surprising!" Li Xiuning pointed to the intelligence file on the Chen Ying case and said, "More than two-thirds of your information here comes from the Western Turks. You deliberately look like you are clearing wasteland, building bridges and paving roads in the Western Regions, and doing nothing. It is nothing more than telling the Western Turks that you are not planning to conquer the Western Turks?"

"Isn't this better?" Chen Ying said: "Since the death of Yehu Khan of the Western Turks, the Western Turks have been divided into four. Now the four khans are fighting for blood and their dogs are hit. Why don't I let them fight for a while? If I show a stance of being slightly moved westward, they will definitely shake hands and make peace and fight against the Tang Dynasty together. The lives of the soldiers are precious. If you can do it, don't sacrifice!"

Li Xiuning frowned slightly and said, "Aren't you worried that another hero like the Turkic Tumen Khan appeared in the Western Turkic Republic. With the help of this internal struggle, he unified the Western Turkic Republic and became the strong enemy of our Tang Dynasty?"

"Don't worry, if it's really that day, I'm looking forward to arguing with the 400,000 Western Turks to let the Iron Cavalry decide the ownership of the Western Regions!" Chen Ying said: "What our Tang Dynasty is most afraid of now is to hold a national war. The Tang Dynasty's army has begun to return. Li Jing will take over the Ministry of War and serve as the left minister of the Tang Dynasty's Ministry of War. It seems that Qu Tutong will abdicate soon, and General Li is also sharpening his sword and preparing to lay the foundation for him to ascend to the Minister of War. At this time, our Tang Dynasty can mobilize an army of more than 300,000 people at any time. If the Western Turks are smart, they will immediately run west. Otherwise, they will have no chance!"

Li Xiuning looked at Chen Ying and said, "Chen Lang, the Minister of War of the Tang Dynasty, you should do it!"

"I..." Chen Ying laughed silently and said, "I am too young. Li Jing is in his thirties and is very young and strong. It is more suitable for him to do it!"

Li Xiuning looked at Chen Ying and said, "I'm not kidding!"

"I'm not kidding either!" Chen Ying said: "What I want to do most is not to get promoted and make money, but to stay with you forever!"

In fact, it proves that staying together forever comes at a price.

What's more, Chen Ying, Li Xiuning, Li Daozhen, Xu Erniang, and six concubines, even though the rain and dew were mixed, Chen Ying gradually felt a little overwhelmed.

...

Since Yang Rong married Samurai, she has been the housekeeper of Samurai. Of course Samurai has no intention of managing the business, so he devoted all his energy to the career of the government. This is the main reason.

Like her historical daughter Wu Zetian, Yang Rong met a husband who was willing to let go, so in this patriarchal society, she had the space and stage to display her talents.

After Yang Rong took charge of all the business of the Wu family, although the Wu Shishi was like a boy who was scattered, the Wu family's money was not exhausted, but became more and more prosperous.

There were cotton beddings in Chang'an City, which made Yang Rong keenly feel the business opportunities. In this era, although down bedding was light and warm, the price was still high due to down production issues. For example, now, down bedding was 100 or 200 guan more than originally moved, and the price was not even higher than that of the original. Now, down bedding has dropped to 80 or 50 guan.

However, this price is not acceptable to ordinary people. When the quilt was covered by Yang Rong, she slept happily and felt very comfortable.

Although down is easy, just like fur, due to technical reasons, it cannot eradicate the odor at all. Many people use a lot of spices to smoke it, but it makes the quilt even more weird. However, the quilt does not have this problem.

Yang Rong rode the carriage that Chen Ying sent her to Fuguiju early in the morning. Fuguiju is said to be the property of Lantianhou. This is the property of the famous Wang family in Taiyuan.

Seeing Yang Rong appear, the shopkeeper of Fuguiju quickly came out to meet him. Yang Rong's brother, Duke Guan, was promoted to the Secretariat Shizhong (formerly Nayan) in the sixth year of Wude, and Yang Rong also rose to the top. Liu Sicong, the shopkeeper of Fuguiju, asked someone to send tea and pastries. Yang Rong did not make polite to Liu Sicong, and started to get to the topic: "It is said that Storekeeper Liu brought 6,000 kilograms of cotton from the Western Regions?"

Manager Liu immediately said, "Six thousand two hundred kilograms!"

Yang Rong asked again: "How is the market?"

Manager Liu smiled bitterly and said, "The price is 253 cents per catty?"

Yang Rong calculated silently in her mind that if she was a thick quilt of ten kilograms, it would not be 2,530 yuan, plus the transportation and labor costs, as long as it did not exceed five kilograms of quilt, it would probably be affordable for most people.

"Not bad." Yang Rong smiled and said, "Of course, don't worry about this. We will not fake the transactions of the State Government. At that time, you just need to bring cotton to the warehouse and weigh the pounds into the warehouse, which will be a lot."

Manager Liu shook his head and said, "Madam Wu, don't blame me for being too polite. I have something to say. Although I have already been the Secretariat of the Secretariat, our Wang family in Taiyuan...haha."

He didn't say the rest, but in fact he understood the meaning very clearly. Don't think that you, the Secretariat and the Minister of Works, can embezzle the business of the Wang family in Taiyuan. There is no such thing as the Secretary of the Central Committee and the Minister of Works.

Yang Rong raised her eyebrows: "I'll give you three hundred pounds per catty!"

Manager Liu said: "This is not a matter of money!"

"Five hundred pounds per catty, no more. Manager Liu, you can't be too greedy!" Yang Rong said: "We don't talk about anything else in our business world, just ask whether you do this business or not!"

Manager Liu shook his head and said, "Mrs. Wu, thank you, this is really not a matter of money!"

"As long as I leave this door, there is no room for recovery!" Yang Rong stood up and walked to the door, turned to look at Manager Liu and said, "Or, you can send a letter to your family and find someone who can make decisions?"

Manager Liu smiled bitterly and said, "There is no way to be able to adapt to this matter. Please don't make things difficult for me!"

"Haha!" Yang Rong's smile became stronger and stronger, and she walked out the door.

Manager Liu thought for a while and said, "Madam Wu, if the mansion needs a quilt, I can make the decision and give three sets of Wu Mansion!"

"No need, let the Wang family in Taiyuan find someone with weight to talk to me in the future!" Yang Rong left without looking back.

Yang Rong was just sure that cotton was produced in the Western Regions, which was enough.

Chen Ying is her cousin and will definitely not treat this cousin unfairly!
