Qin Shaoyou looked at Wei Hongmin with a smile.

He was thinking, but his eyes were still extremely clear.

Wei Hongmin's great gift is indeed moving, but if you think about it carefully, the benefits that the Wei family gets from it are truly huge.

Henan Prefecture...

Qin Shaoyou was struggling and swaying in his heart, which was almost a fatal temptation.

With Luoyang, there is enough consumer market. Even after moving the capital, a large number of wealthy families moved out, and the number of nobles and wealthy families here is amazing. After all, even if the emperor leaves, Luoyang is still the Dongdu. Even if those who have housed houses in Luoyang migrate, some of the tribesmen will always be left behind. Eggs will never be placed in one basket. Luoyang, no matter what, will always become a place for the wealthy people in the world.

This is actually the simplest magnet effect, just like the provincial government in later generations. In a province, whether it is a wealthy family or a middle-class person, whether they have any real estate or real estate in the local area, they always hope to buy a real estate in the provincial government. Even if they may not live there for many days for many years.

The same is true for Luoyang. Some people in the world may not come to Luoyang a few times in their lives, but such people are not short of money and will definitely buy a property in Luoyang. If they don’t live there, they will arrange some loyal servants to guard it or send some children from the clan to study there.

Luoyang and Chang'an are both such large magnets, and what this magnet accumulates is a steady stream of consumption power.

The reason why Mengjin was able to quickly build his own trade network was that Mengjin's goods had their own uniqueness or were of high quality and low price. Another bigger reason was that it was relying on Luoyang. It was precisely because it was relying on Luoyang and Luoyang, the most prosperous city in the world. Every move of the rich people here would arouse the imitation of the world. Their preferences could quickly affect everyone in the world after a year and a half. Countless tourists and officials were attracted by Luoyang and gathered in Luoyang. Countless merchants brought the specialties from all over the world here, which was rich in resources and was also one of the intersections of the world's largest trade network. Therefore, Mengjin was able to make a fortune quickly after living in Luoyang.

For example, most merchants have never heard of Mengjin. They only came to Luoyang. They only came to Luoyang because they heard Luoyang people talk about the benefits of doing business in Mengjin.

So... Wei Hongmin's conditions are particularly attractive.

Of course, the benefits are not just these. Because to conquer Luoyang, more Shence troops will inevitably be recruited, and Shence troops can be selected from the entire Henan Prefecture. More population, fertile land, ready-made trade networks, and where officials and tourists must visit. At the same time, they will guard the geographical location of the throat east of Guanzhong. This location can radiate to the entire east of Guandong, and at the same time, the Yellow River can immediately radiate to Hebei.

For Qin Shaoyou, the real terror of Luoyang is not just these. The reason why Qin Shaoyou covet Luoyang is because of Emperor Yang of Sui.

Emperor Yang of Sui was very happy with his merits. After ascending the throne, he not only used troops everywhere. The important reason for his defeat was the construction of a canal. He recruited dozens of millions of people, built the Jiangnan River from Yuhang to Jiangdu, and then connected the Yangtze River to the Jiangnan River. The Tongji Canal was built between the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, and then built a Yongji Canal with the Yellow River and Zhuojun to connect it.

The land of Guanzhong gradually declined after the Sui and Tang Dynasties, which was closely related to the Grand Canal called the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal. The four important points of the Grand Canal are precisely Nanjing, Beijing, Luoyang, and Hangzhou in later generations. Since then, they have become the capitals of most dynasties and the most prosperous place in the world a hundred years later.

If you say you have guarded Chang'an, you will be in Guanzhong. However, because of the emergence of the canal, you will be guarded by Zhuo County, Luoyang, Jiangdu or Hangzhou, which is equivalent to getting half of the world's financial resources.

Luoyang is precisely the most important key point on this canal. Luokou, not far from Luoyang, guards the middle section of the entire canal. To the north, all cargo can reach Hebei through the Yongji Canal, or even directly to Zhuojun. To the south, cargo ships departing from Luokou can reach Jiangdu and Yuhang, and then transport the goods to any location through the dense water network in the south of the Yangtze River.

This is why, after Wu Zetian ascended the throne, he immediately built Luokou warehouse in Luokou. There were thousands of warehouses and warehouses, piled up with goods from south to north, and... the government's materials, and even taxes sent from various places.

Perhaps Guanzhong is still rich and its products are still abundant, but Qin Shaoyou knew that once he occupied this place, if he was in the court model, he would just treat the canal as a purpose for the transportation of money and grain, perhaps the benefits of this canal would not be obvious.

Once the operation will be carried out in the Mengjin model, in the future...

In this era, river transportation is almost the most convenient and cheap means of transportation in the world. Its role in this era is no less than the so-called sea transportation cities with deep water ports in later generations. Once the Mengjin model is combined with this canal that can span more than hundreds of cities in the world, the picture is so beautiful that Qin Shaoyou cannot imagine.

But Qin Shaoyou still couldn't speak, he just looked at Wei Hongmin with a smile.

There are some things, the more you see the benefits here, the less you cannot reveal them. The legacy left by Emperor Yang of Sui does have many benefits for the current Tang Dynasty. For example, because the Heyun connected Zhuojun, it consolidated the frontier and provided guarantee for the Tang Dynasty to use troops against the Turkic Box Goguryeo. For example, because it connected Jiangdu and Yuhang, it was developed in Jiangnan, making it a rich place no less than Guanzhong and Guandong.

The impact on Qin Shaoyou was even more profound. This was a great treasure. What the imperial court could develop and utilize was only one or two of the treasures, but Qin Shaoyou could discover all its benefits.

Qin Shaoyou ate the tea gently, just smiled, and then said calmly: "Shizhong Wei, even though he said that, I really want to guard Henan Prefecture? Not to mention what I am good and what I can do, I ask myself, even if Shence Mansion is in Henan, how much benefit can it be?"

His meaning was like Luoyang and Luokou in Henan Prefecture would become his burden.

However, this is not expressing its voice. The more you think about it, the more you cannot express it, so as not to be seen through it.

Seeing that Qin Shaoyou did not show any joy, Wei Hongmin couldn't figure out what Qin Shaoyou meant for a while, and couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, once Henan returns to the capital, it will inevitably be empty, and you must not guard it. This is not only my husband's meaning, but also the empress's meaning."

He deliberately bit the word "Empress" very seriously, which is to tell Qin Shaoyou that as long as you nod your head in this matter, there will be no obstacles or any consequences, the Wei family will take it.

Qin Shaoyou smiled and shook his head and said, "I am a minister. If I really have the order of a king, I will naturally not dare to refuse." His tone eased a lot, because he could draw the sincerity of the Wei family from Wei Hongmin's mouth. Since the others came with enough sincerity, he obviously did not need to be pretentious.

Wei Hongmin was happy when he heard this and said, "This is amazing. If Your Highness is willing, it will be a blessing for the people of Henan."

This guy is shameless, but he can make a statement in his mouth.

Qin Shaoyou smiled and said, "There is one thing... but he still wants to discuss it with Shizhong Wei."

Wei Hongmin frowned: "I don't know what's going on?"

Qin Shaoyou said lightly: "Has Shizhong Wei done business?"

Wei Hongmin was stunned for a moment: "Buy, what kind of business?"

"There are one-free and free traders here in Mengjin. This is used to attract business. Does Shizhong Wei know what it means to buy one-free and get one-free?"

"Ah..." Wei Hongmin was so surprised that he couldn't speak. He bought one and got one free. What the hell is this?

Could this guy want to get some benefits? Just like that... he still feels unsatisfied?

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

After some negotiations, Wei Hongmin was finally satisfied.

That's right, Qin Shaoyou satisfied him, not that he satisfied Qin Shaoyou.

Because the conditions for Qin Shaoyou's exchange were too tempting. What Qin Shaoyou gave him was that the Cui family was most likely the envoy behind the assassination.

Of course, Qin Shaoyou would not offend the Cui family. He just asked the Shence Mansion to release a little bit of news. He would never jump out and prove the Cui family. It was extremely unwise to have a complete affair with the Cui family.

But... with this, Wei Hongmin is enough to be satisfied, because as long as rumors are released, it is enough to arouse speculation from all over the world. Why did your surname Cui assassinate Qin Shaoyou?

People in Kanto will think that your surname is Cui, killing Prince Hongnong, is irrelevant with us.

The people of Guanzhong and Longxi people will be more thoughtful. What they think is that at this critical moment, your Cui family wants to make a big news. Is this intentional destruction of the return of the capital, and to use this to pull the Wei family back on the return of the capital.

These rumors and suspicions alone are enough to make the Cui family stunned.
