Li Zhen knew that Zhang De had many children of girls, but when he saw Li Lizhi and Ashide Yinchu, he felt like he was struck by lightning and could not speak for a long time. He almost wanted to turn around and escape back to Luoyang and never come to this ghost place again.

What a pity, let alone the relationship between his father and Zhang Gongjin, he and Lao Zhang were "rewarded" by himself. I dare not say that both prosper and lose both prosper and loss, and it may be impossible to drag Li Ji to death. If Lao Zhang is finished, he will pull Li Zhen to play mahjong together on the road to the underworld, which is no pressure.

"Sanlang, you knew it long ago?"

When Li Zhen was talking to Zhang Da'an, he was playing puzzles with Zhang Mian. The puzzle was made of wood and jade, as well as printed drawings. It can be said that it is quite exquisite and tall, and most people can never afford to play with it.

Zhang Mian, who was having fun, did not think about putting in the whole process, but chose beautiful colors, especially the puzzle parts made of jade, which were the most eye-catching.

"I know, but I know it, but I came to Wuhan and I realized it was true. When I talked about it earlier, I just thought it was like a legend. I never thought that my brother was amazing."

Zhang Da'an sighed, convinced, and then changed his subject: "By the way, brother, have you ever talked about what kind of errand it was?"

"It's not yet decided, and I'm going to wait for someone to submit a memorial. Honglu Temple has now established a new foreign government office. In addition to educating barbarians, it seems that there is also the responsibility of reconciling trade. Now it's not accurate. Is it a long-term job? If it's been a long time, what will I do in the southwest? Not to mention jackals, tigers, leopards, snakes, rats, insects and ants, just the high mountains and far roads, there's not even a lot of fun. Are you suffering?"

"The restructuring of Honglu Temple is imminent, and it is not the Secretary of the Central Committee who imprisoned you." As the magistrate of Jiangyin County, although he has not taken office and is still sleeping in Wuhan, Zhang Da'an is still able to capture the changes in the current political affairs.

"Oh? What does it mean?"

"Changsun clashed in the river and became Su Wu on the bed. This is the reason. In the past, most of the envoys from the foreign land were mixed chores, either perfunctory or both. In short, no serious matters have been achieved. Except for the Turks and others who need to be killed with all their strength, such as the Khitan, the Xi people, and the Goguryeo... Have you ever seen Maoyou Duke leave?"

Zhang Da'an still understands the truth. Only as strong as the Turks can the Central Plains shrink when they should be shrinking. The other barbarians will be killed by a regional bully, and the suppression and extermination are just a routine in history.

"Was that the foreign envoy from Honglu Temple who is a foreign land, otherwise it is worthy of it?"

"In my opinion, I am afraid that the focus is on the point of being able to reconcile business. But I may not be able to say it clearly, at most it is on the grounds of "protecting the Chinese people". After all, merchants cannot be honest with themselves."

"Oh? Could it be because of the Silk Road profit?"

After a change of mind, Li Zhen, who was not too stupid, asked, "He moved from Chang'an to Luoyang, and he had seen the arrogance of a new type of royal lackey like "The King Under the Seven Martial Arts Sea". The entanglement of interests cannot avoid the emperor himself.

The reason why he mentioned the profits of the Silk Road was that last year, the Hou family made a big investment, and it actually occupied several "countries" west of the Palacio and the Xindu River for management.

These industries were originally unsafe outside of China, but the Western Army could fight, and the entire Tulun River became a sandbag for children of Tang people to pee and mix sand. As long as these industries that were not far from the Western Army, as long as they were diligent in "working the army", were afraid that they would not be intimidated by the Tu people?

What's more, even if one day is lost in the Western Regions, or if the Western Army cannot be fought, these industries will be thrown away. As long as there are thirty or fifty years, this will be almost a "money-profit" transaction, and it will be enough.

Li Zhen still knows, can the upstart in Luoyang not know? How can the old Guanlong clan not be jealous? Even if he can't argue with the big gangster in Binzhou, he can't give Hou Junji the old hooligan? Even if he asks Zhang Liang, the shameless person, to go to Li Dong to sue the trick, it can still "harm others but not yourself". It's so refreshing and happy.

Besides, what if it’s Mr. Li himself who is interested in it?

"What I have to do in the 16th year of Zhenguan is also because the news in the inner palace is unstable, which has been delayed for two years. The fake mother is also a person who can enter and exit the Luoyang Palace. She has seen the queen and tried to talk to her."

"Princess Langya told you?"

"The emperor's meaning is probably to appoint Han officials to control the foreign land, which is similar to the border ban. It's just that it's reversed. In the past, it was mostly barbarians who were in the Hu area. Now, it's probably Han officials who were in the Hu area. "

Li Zhen frowned, "What did you say?"

"Like the Hou family and the like, who were in the Pamirs of the Tang Dynasty, shocked the earthly barbarians in the Pamirs. Could it be that the gold mine will return to the Hou family and fight to the court? How could such a good thing be done?"

Zhang Daan looked disdainful, "Have you ever seen the current emperor suffer losses?"

“…”

Li Zhen shook his head immediately.

"That's it. As long as the Western Army is in and the Han officials are in the foreign lands, the place has authority."

"I understand that when I say this, I want to borrow the Honglu Temple and ask the newcomers like Xiqin Society to collect taxes?"

"What I am worried about now is that these heroes outside are unwilling to pay the money obediently. After all, people are outside China and do not accept Chinese laws. They are afraid that they are not killing officials and rebelling, and it doesn't matter."

“…”

It sounds creepy.

Li Zhen's face changed slightly, and then asked in a low voice: "I'm going to do this job, aren't I offending someone?"

"What are you thinking about? How can you let you bear this disaster? Now even if you are the emperor, you will slowly try to do it and will not force it too much. Otherwise, what's the difficulty outside of China to imitate the story of Juye County?"

"That's right."

Li Zhen thought that he could not cheat him. Even if the emperor had the idea of ​​a Tang Dynasty merchant business company outside China, he would not be able to eat and drink for a while. It was so easy to make a knife. Didn’t he see that the court would even present the award to the Tang people who were brave enough to take risks?

"The King Goes to the Sea of ​​Seven Warriors" sounds domineering...

Li Zhen, who was a little relieved, was also happy, thinking that as long as he followed the angel to the southwest, his qualifications were raised, he would be happy to go to the capital to work as a small department as a small leader.

Anyway, he doesn’t want to be the Prime Minister of Shangshu, so he just needs to be calm in his life.

Li Zhen was in a good mood and grinned and saw Zhang Mian picking high-quality puzzles. He laughed and said, "Xiao Lang, I'm going to be so angry with you. The drawings are all on the side, why don't you splice them together? You just learn from a little girl and pick good-looking objects?"

Zhang Mian tilted his head and looked up, then lowered his head to continue picking up the jade parts.

Seeing that Zhang Mian was not afraid of him, Li Zhen immediately joked: "You, you, but you are not as smart as your Aye. Xiaolang, do you know how the pig died?"

Zhang Mian looked up at him again: "I'm so angry."

“…”

“…”

Zhang Daan slammed the high fives and laughed.
