Chapter 422 A country as powerful as the Tang Dynasty
Luoyang, the Fengshan army naturally had to stay here for two days when they returned. Qin Hao had an industry here and was not small, so he naturally would not squeeze into the palace with them.
That night, those who came to express their condolences were almost lined up, as if the demon sect was not attempted to assassinate, but was about to die.
After finally getting the people who visited in the future, Qin Hao could finally have a meal with his savior quietly.
After chatting, Qin Hao realized that this person was named Mo Yu. He had been in Honglu Temple for more than ten years and had not even been an official. He was still a minor official. He was relatively unlucky.
During the meal, Mo Yu was very nervous, and his hands holding chopsticks were trembling slightly. I don’t know if it was because of nervousness or excitement.
Generally speaking, the difference in status between the two is so big that Qin Hao doesn't need to care too much about him. As his identity, he just speaks a few words to help him. Even if he repays his life, Qin Hao doesn't think so. This guy doesn't have much class ideas in his mind, and he is extremely polite to this little official. The polite family is flattered and can't accept it.
"Brother Mo."
"I dare not, if you say you love me, just call me Lao Mo."
"That's not possible. I'm talking about personal friendship with you now, but I'm not talking about justice with you. You saved my life. How can you be an elder brother?"
As he said that, Qin Hao personally picked up a Dongpo elbow he had "invented". After being a leader for so long, he still knows how to buy people's minds, not to mention that he was sincere.
When Mo Yu's mood finally stabilized, Qin Hao smiled and said, "Brother Mo, do you have any plans for a scientific examination in the future?"
Mo Yu shook his head lonely and said, "No, I'm already thirty-six this year and I don't have any foundation. If I really start from scratch, I'm afraid I can't learn anything every ten or eight years. I'm already dead as an official."
Qin Hao nodded after hearing this and said, "I mean that too. If you want to be an official, I can arrange it, but at most it is the eighth-grade and ninth-grade. Even if you are willing to go to Liaodong, at most it will be around the seventh-grade, and there may be no hope of promotion in the future."
"Yes. I was born without such a wealthy life. If I had been twenty years ago, I would have asked my grandfather to give me a single official position. Now, I don't think about it anymore. You might as well reward me with some gold and silver."
"Haha, you're just right. I want to arrange for you to join the Qing Gang. Look at what it is. Although the Qing Gang has been completely incorporated by the court, it's not difficult for me to put someone in. It's just that the Qing Gang is a military post after all. If you can't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, your career is actually limited, but you can still make some money."
"Mr. Xie's arrangements, I'll listen to you."
"Okay, I heard from Duke Ying that the rats have been in the Xining City area recently. They seem to be planning to interfere on land outside the water. You can speak Persian. I will write you a recommendation and ask him to arrange for you to be responsible for the business communication and exchanges in Persia. If you perform well, it will be a big problem to be promoted to the master in two years. I just want to go to Xining. I wonder if you are willing."
Mo Yu was overjoyed after hearing this. After the Qing Gang passed the system, the current master of the hall is a real lieutenant. And who doesn’t know that the Qing Gang has the most wealth. A master may not have much power, but he earns no less money than an ordinary general.
"I am willing, I am willing. Thank you for your arrangements, thank you for your arrangements."

After seeing Mo Yu off, Li Xin said worriedly: "Do you want to support the trade between Persia and the Tang Dynasty?"
Qin Hao smiled and said, "The Persian prince came with auspicious auspiciousness during the Fengshan period. As the sacred news is everywhere today, the saint also ordered me to handle this business with full authority and make this matter the top priority. It is normal for me to care about Persian business."
Li Xin said: "I am not a lady in the boudoir who never leaves the door. Please use this kind of excuse me. How much trade can auspicious seeds support? Even if you exchange gold for it, how many taels of gold can you get. The Persian prince wants to replace the Sogdians and become the largest Western Region trade transit country in the Tang Dynasty. This is no secret. I know that he saves your life and you are very grateful to him, but the more you do this, the less you can leave a handle! Are you not afraid that the censor will sue you?"
Qin Hao smiled and hugged Li Xin and said, "I do have the idea of supporting Persia through trade, but I am not a private use of public instruments, and this idea has not been a day or two. Even if I don't know this Persian prince, I will do this with this auspicious opportunity. In addition to establishing trade deals with them, we must have more substantial strategic relationships, and even dispatch troops if necessary."
Li Xin said in confusion: "Why is this? I heard that Persia is in the extreme west, far from the Tang Dynasty. If the two countries do not ride fast horses, it will take half a year to go from theirs to Chang'an. What is the use of such a barbarian country for the Tang Dynasty?"
Qin Hao laughed and said, "You only know one thing but not the other. Although Persia is far away, they are short of water all year round, and the vast area is deserted, and the ground is full of black oil. So more than 70% of the citizens of their country are merchants, and they are sold to warriors when they pick up scimitars. Their most elite camel cavalry is not even much worse than our Black Armored Cavalry. Therefore, such a trading partner is actually much more powerful than the Sogdians. After all, there are too few Sogdians and they can't do business too far, especially in the extreme west. Even if they sell it to Sogdians, the Sogdians will sell it to the Persians. Why do they let them get a layer of skin from it? This is only economic, and what is more important about Persia is actually strategic."
"Strategy? What strategies can Datang and them have?"
"Haha, it's true that the Tang Dynasty is very powerful, but you have to know that there is not only the Tang Dynasty, a powerful country in the world. In the extreme west, there is a country called Dashi. It's hard to judge which Dashi or Dashi are stronger. They all feel that they are awesome. If they don't really fight, God knows who the real god is."
This was obviously the first time Li Xin heard about this country, and she couldn't help but say in surprise: "There is a country as powerful as the Tang Dynasty in the world? Oh my God."
"It should be inferior to ours in terms of economy, but it is not easy to say in terms of military affairs. But now the expansion of the Tang Dynasty's power on land is very obvious. To the south, it is all mountain plateaus, which must be dominated by maritime trade. To the north, it is all ice and snow. If the land forces want to develop, they can only go west. The situation of Dashi is actually similar to that of our Tang Dynasty. There are only a group of barbarians left to the west, and the focus is also on the east. When we go west, they go east, it won't take many years for us to meet."
"You mean, there must be a battle between the Tang Dynasty and this Dashi? But what does this have to do with Persia?"
