Chapter 138 The patriarch has an order

"Governor Xia Wanchun's army has arrived in Talas, with 300,000 Persians on the opposite side, and the war is about to begin."

"Are the army under Xia Wanchun's command neatly prepared?"

"Back to your Majesty, the ammunition carried by Governor Xia can be used for full combat for three months."

"Where is the food?"

"Food and grass can be used by the army for four months, regardless of the cattle and sheep that accompany the herders."

"Can there be epidemics rampant in the army?"

"The military doctor reported that everything is normal."

"Since everything is suitable, Talas is too far from the Central Plains, even if we want to support Xia Wanchun, we are powerless. Everything depends on his own."

"General Jinhu's sentry horses came out of North Korea and captured Wu Sangui's envoy. The envoy said that Wu Sangui wanted to join his family to return to the Ming Dynasty."

When the military report came to this, Li Guocheng looked up slightly at the emperor's face. Seeing that the emperor had expressionless expression, he continued: "The messenger's nose and ears were cut off by General Jinhu, and ordered him to tell Wu Sangui that since he stepped out of Shanhaiguan, he could no longer be considered a Han Chinese."

After reading the military newspaper, Li Guocheng continued to check the emperor's face. Seeing that the emperor was still expressionless, he put the military newspaper at hand on the emperor's desk and waited for the emperor to review it before transferring to the Ministry of War.

"General Jinhu reported that Jiannu vanguard camp went eastward and seemed to have found new land. The remaining tribesmen took advantage of the frozen sea to cut icebergs to cross the sea, causing heavy casualties.

General Jinhu had already ordered the Grand Ming to evacuate the Jiannu group and return to the country."

Yun Zhao nodded and said, "It's accurate."

Li Guocheng said: "The heavy casualties of Jiannu were unheard of. Xi Zuo saw with his own eyes a group of Jianzhou people riding an iceberg towards the east. The iceberg did not go east for some reason. Pan Heng did not go in the ice water for a long time. When the rescue ship arrived at the iceberg, all the Jianzhou people on the iceberg had become ice sculptures."

Yun Zhao sneered: "After all, someone has landed on that continent. With the Jiannu who landed on last year, I don't know how many people Dorgon could have left in the end."

Li Guocheng said: "General Jinhu said that there are many huge ice and icebergs in the extreme north. The Ming wooden ships cannot get close to them in winter..."

Yun Zhao smiled and said, "We thought that the task of driving Jiannu to the Jedi was completed. As a result, the person was anxious and jumped over the wall. Do you want to say that Jiannu has left our control, right?"

Li Guocheng said: "Jiannu won't give us the chance to cause trouble from beginning to end."

Yun Zhao shook his head and said, "Not only are we smart people, but there are also smart people among Jiannu. When we don't have the strength to get rid of Jiannu, people confront us. As our strength grows, they will move away from us step by step.

When we had enough strength to be prepared to destroy Jiannu, we went to the horizon and now we crossed east to another world, which was beyond reach."

Li Guocheng could see that the emperor seemed to have something to deal with Jiannu and didn't say anything. He was so smart that he didn't take the initiative to ask.

The emperors are somewhat moody and increasingly difficult to serve.

"General Li Dingguo has not come to the Military Academy of Yingtianfu to take office. He still stays in the 100-acre fief of Fenghuang Mountain. He drinks and has fun all day long, and seems to have the tendency to express his feelings for the mountains and rivers."

"How is Zhang Guofeng?"

"General Guofeng recruited 500 retired old subordinates and ordered his eldest son Zhang Xiong to go to Guangzhou with some money."

"Where is the Golden Tiger?"

"General Jinhu also recruited 200 subordinates, but the one who led these 200 subordinates in Guangzhou was Zhu Cilang of Chang'an Zhu's family."

Hearing this, Yun Zhao groaned and smashed the cup heavily on the table and said, "The dog can't change it and eat shit. Tell the Supervision Department to continue investigating. This Zhu Cilang is just a chess piece on the surface. The woman in the Zhu family mansion must have a back seat.

What are the trends of our Great Honglu Zhu Cunji?"

"Report to Your Majesty, Zhu Cunji and some princes Zhu Ming joined forces to submit an application for going to the Prime Minister's Office, with a large number of people."

"That's right!"

Yun Zhao picked up the teacup again, but his smile looked a little hideous.

"Your Majesty, we can't show weakness anymore. If this continues, I am worried that many people who need strict control will jump out of our surveillance range from now on, and the sky will be wide open from now on."

"Where is Zhang Guozhu?"

"The prime minister has no movement. He once told his subordinates that being content with poverty and being happy is his pursuit."

"Xu Wu thought, where are the people like Yang Xiong?"

"We have joined forces and sent people to Guangzhou. There are quite a few people. However, they seem to be dealing with His Majesty. Going to the sea is more like a trip, not like venturing on the sea."

Yun Zhao couldn't help laughing when he heard Li Guocheng say this.

This child is still young after all. As long as these people go into the sea, he will be unable to do anything.

If you want to escape this storm, you should learn from Zhang Guozhu and never wade into this muddy water from the beginning. Once you come in, your feet are wet by the sea. It is purely a dream to go ashore intact.

Do you really think that tens of millions of silver coins were discarded for nothing?

Thirteen Tours in Guangzhou!

This is a business that Qian Duoduo founded in Yunzhao when he was just a warlord in Guanzhong.

It turned out that there were only two. Later, after killing Zheng Zhilong in Hanling Mountain, the two businesses quickly expanded into thirteen businesses, each of which operated a single commodity.

Although each company only operates one kind of goods, because of a clear division of labor, every business focuses on the one kind of goods they operate. Therefore, from production, transportation, procurement, and going overseas, they have formed their own unique methods, so that when everyone mentions the Thirteen Lines in Guangzhou, they will give a thumbs up and praise it - great.

Before Yun Zhao ascended the throne, Thirteen Xingshang was purely a private property of the Yun family. After Yun Zhao ascended the throne, Guangzhou Maritime Warehouse was established, and Thirteen Xingshang's supreme status was slightly weakened.

After the government took away the right to sell silk, porcelain, paper, raw salt and Chinese patent medicines from Yun's family in accordance with the regulations, the Yun family's shopkeeper quickly developed groceries, especially those produced in Guanzhong, such as scissors, knives, and various daily necessities, which were regarded as treasures by the people of the foreign country.

From then on, Thirteen Ranges returned to their peak state.

Although the interest rate is not as good as the bulk goods entering and leaving the Marketing Department, it is definitely the second most popular among merchants.

Wu Changchun, the chief shopkeeper of the Thirteen ranks, today he summoned the Thirteen ranks to his Changchun Building for a meeting.

During this period, because Queen Qian frantically transferred gold and silver from various shopkeepers, the development of the Thirteenth House this year was quite difficult, and every shopkeeper saw many smiles on his face.

Wu Changchun knocked on the table with a cigarette pole and said, "Everyone can stop the dead faces for me, tell me, how can we help Prince Yao gain a foothold in Yaozhou."

The shopkeeper who specializes in spices said, "The shopkeeper, the spice shop has been transferred 700,000 silver dollars this time, and it is already difficult to maintain daily operations.

Since there is no cash, it is difficult for us to purchase Nanyang spices. Although some old friends are willing to give us some face, there is basically no hope of buying spices on a large scale.

In the situation where I cannot protect myself, I am really powerless to serve Prince Yao.

Of course, if the shopkeeper allowed us to use the Yun family's old business to do business, I would definitely have nothing to say."

Wu Changchun snorted coldly and said, "Don't think about a deal without capital in the future. Think of other ways to give me a briefing. Queen Qian was deeply dissatisfied with our Thirteenth League this time.

The female accountant from the General Court has been sent to go south soon under the leadership of Aunt Yunchun.

Warn you, once the account book cannot be matched with zero, you know what kind of aunt Yunchun's temper is. Losing the position of the shopkeeper is a trivial matter. Once the family law is enforced, the whole family will suffer."

Manager Qiu from Tongyoujie shrank his neck, then thought about the consequences, and gritted his teeth and said, "Of the boss, we are on the back of the royal family, but now we do business, there is no royal atmosphere at all.

It’s fine to abide by the laws and regulations, after all, the world belongs to His Majesty. However, Queen Qian’s money is too harsh this time. The reason why Tung Oil Store can still operate is entirely because we have good reputations for many years and the supplier is willing to give us credit.

Big shopkeeper, you should write a letter to the queen and inform the queen of our truth. If the queen asks us to continue to support Prince Yao under this situation, I, Lao Qiu, have to get on the boat and go to Yaozhou to make a cow and horse for Prince Yao in person."

After hearing Manager Qiu’s complaint, Wu Changchun was not angry. Instead, he glanced over the faces of each manager, and finally tapped the table with his knuckles and said, “You really have no way to do it?”

Manager Feng, who specializes in the business of precious wood, said: "Unless the Queen can remove the tie ropes tied to us and want to make money, we should do everything we can in Southeast Asia.

If the Empress is willing to loosen its ties, I, Lao Feng, promised that I would pay one million silver dollars to the Empress a year to support Prince Yao’s construction of Yaozhou.”

The other shopkeepers also clamored, hoping that the shopkeeper could write to the queen to untie the shackles tied to the Yun family's business in recent years, and expressed their opinions that as long as they were allowed to do their own things, money and food would really not be a problem.

Wu Changchun looked at the old thieves, smiled and shook his head, "Since you all have no choice, then you might as well listen to my suggestions."

Seeing that Wu Changchun was finally going to take out the real thing, the shopkeepers calmed down one after another. They hoped that Manager Wu would lead everyone to break through the siege like before.

"You should know that Your Majesty wants to be a title overseas?"

As soon as Wu Changchun finished speaking, the eyes of the shopkeepers suddenly lit up, but the light quickly became dimmed. The Yun clan rules stipulate that they cannot touch these things. Those who violate the order will die!

"Of course we can't touch these things, but there are still many people who can touch these things. There are too many things we can do in the middle.

In this world, except General Han and General Shi Lang, who can be more familiar with the situation at sea than us?

Our business requires ships and people. We need force, but we are just short of money now.

As long as we join forces with those who are qualified to be awarded, it will not be difficult to make money."

"Isn't this contrary to the clan rules?" Manager Qiu's tears were almost shedding. The profitable Yun family did indeed do it without capital.

Wu Changchun coughed, took out a scroll from his arms and said in a deep voice: "The clan leader has orders!"
