Chapter 572 What a ruthless Princess Yicheng

"Yes, the number of horses we have now is shocking. My good brother is indeed a good method. Over the past few years, we have purchased nearly 80,000 good horses, and Hancheng horses account for nearly 11,000, and crossbow horses are probably 150,000." Wei Yunqi said this and said that he was very ecstatic. "Now, the Eastern Turks and the Western Turks are enemies of each other, and the Eastern Turks are regarded as thorns in their eyes and needles in their flesh."

"That's natural, we can only supply the spirits to Chuluo Khan. For other grassland tribes, if you want to get such fine wine, you can only exchange them for things. I also heard that the Western Turks alone have already taken out almost 30,000 good horses, 50,000 crossbow horses, and countless cattle and sheep to trade with Chuluo Khan." This is really my most proud move.

"Even Xue Yantuo, I heard that he had taken out almost this number to trade with the Eastern Turks. The Eastern Turks are now very satisfied." Wei Yunqi nodded.

I remember that at the beginning, Chuluo Khan felt that although it was good to enjoy such a fine wine from the Eastern Turks, the price of this wine really made him feel a little overwhelmed.

After Kang Shuoli was pulled by me, he advised Chu Luo Khan that it would be okay to buy more wine from us.

Since you think the price is expensive, you can just be a middleman and sell it to those Xueyantuo, who are also nomadic peoples, or Western Turks. Then the Eastern Turks can naturally earn the difference in the middle. After a while, even if you cannot make money, you can at least minimize the cost of buying spirits.

So, the largest middleman in the Eastern Turks began to sell strong wine everywhere. As expected, all the bitter and cold nomadic peoples in the north were trapped.

It is precisely because of the efforts of several support teams that the Eastern Turks have not only not stopped trading because they cherish their horses in the past two years, but have become more and more prosperous.

Nowadays, not only are they changing horses to exchange for spirits, but they are even changing to luxury goods, which shows how energetic they are.

However, according to the information obtained by the intelligence department from various nomadic peoples, whether it is the Western Turks or Xue Yantuo, they are already extremely angry at the life of the Eastern Turks and the outrageously high prices when trading with each other.

At the end of last autumn, the Western Turks and Xueyantuo had come to me one after another, just to be able to trade wine and horses directly with me, instead of going through the shameless and greedy second-trade dealer of the Eastern Turks, the shameless and greedy second-trade dealer.

And I naturally had an attitude of being willing to do business with these two powerful nomadic tribes. But I can’t do anything about it. Your Western Turks are far away from the northwest, and Xue Yantuo is even in the northwest. How to do business?

The Western Turks once had a business with me, but after a thousand good horses and two thousand crossbow horses, I finally arrived at us after going through a lot of hardships. Then I traded with them at a price of more than 50% of the trade with the Eastern Turks.

Even so, it would be nearly half the spirits sold to them by the Eastern Turks, the second dealer of the Eastern Turks. When they were happy to return, the team disappeared. Well, the Western Turks had sent people to inquire afterwards.

This young master not only took out the documents for the transactions between the two parties, but even took them to see the horses. Later, the Western Turks seemed to understand the reason. After that, they only traded wine and horses with us in small batches several times, and the trade volume never exceeded 500 good horses.

However, because the journey is long, it only takes place once every two months. But even so, the Western Turks bought liquor from the Eastern Turks, while doing a small trade with us.

After the passage in the Western Regions was opened, I discussed with the Western Turks that the two sides had protected the smooth trade routes. If possible, then I would lower the price of wine and horse trade, and would trade some porcelain and silk with them at preferential prices.

After a long negotiation, the Western Turks finally nodded, which is one of the main reasons why the number of merchants in the Western Regions has increased significantly since this year.

Because the Western Turks were so powerful in the Western Regions, or the countries in the Western Regions, they all had to rely on their Western Turks' expressions to survive. Therefore, only by letting the Western Turks soften can the trade route gain greater vitality.

However, this is only temporary. Well, when the future comes, I will take this trade route. No, I will definitely take the entire Western Regions and even Central Asia. At that time, I will say East, who dares to say West? It would be strange if I don’t beat him up.

In a word, when the time comes, the nomadic peoples will be weakened by me until they cannot have any influence on the rule of the Chinese nation.

"... Commercial trade has benefited Yan'an County and the surrounding counties. Today, Yan'an County is no longer as desolate as before. Now, the population of Yan'an County has increased by nearly one-fifth, and more importantly, the industrial and commercial population accounts for nearly one-third of the county's population." Speaking of this, Wei Yunqi said proudly: "This is probably the county with the highest proportion of industry and commerce besides Chang'an and Hancheng."

"It's not bad, there's only so much land. Even if you use more people to farm, you can't increase your income by much. However, industry and commerce can give people the opportunity to increase their income. Only by having income can you use money to make your life better. The circulation of money also brings enough growth to the treasury and tax revenue." The Yaoguang girl finally struggled to get rid of the temptation of fine wine and commented very sincerely.

Hearing this, Wei Yunqi nodded frequently, with a look of approval. However, the Yaoguang girl turned her head and smiled at me: "Husband, I'm not wrong, right?"

"Of course it's right, and it makes sense. It seems that the lady is not only very skilled in martial arts, but also very good at internal affairs. She is worthy of being a figure of both civil and military affairs. She is really admired by her husband." The young master looked at the increasingly round wife and praised her without any wits. No, it's the truth.

Hearing this, Yaoguang couldn't help but glar at me, Ke Xuanji reached out and gently placed it in my palm, with a gentle and sweet look on his face.

Wei Yunqi on the other side could only turn his eyes speechlessly into the pond. Well, mainly because this guy might feel quite embarrassed in such a scene.

I cleared my throat and quickly diverted Wei Yunqi's attention. "Brother Yunqi, in your opinion, how likely will there be a war in the north of Guanbei?"

"This..." Wei Yunqi thought for a while and said solemnly: "The chance of a war is quite high."

"Why do you say that?" I raised my eyebrows and asked loudly.

"Although the Turks are now engaged in wine and horse trade with me in China and profit from it, I believe they need such luxury goods to be in their hands, not to mention that Princess Yicheng has a high prestige among the Turks, and her influence is not small for Chuluo Khan and even the entire Eastern Turks."

"Yang Guang died, and the former Sui Dynasty collapsed and collapsed. However, Empress Xiao and Emperor Yang Zhengdao were in danger. Then Princess Yicheng took action and convinced Chu Luo Khan..."

After Emperor Yang was killed in the Jiangdu Incident, Empress Xiao, who was in her fifties, took her young grandson and the royal daughters, and successively lived in the rebels Yuwen and Dou Jiande. Princess of Hou Yicheng welcomed him to the Eastern Turks. Now, the Sui people who were exiled to the Turks regard Yang Zhengdao as the ruler of the Sui Dynasty, and Empress Xiao lived with him in Dingxiang.

You should know that Dingxiang belongs to Loufan County, which belongs to Liu Wuzhou's territory. However, Princess Yicheng's words made Liu Wuzhou obediently give up Dingxiang, a large grain-producing county surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the four rivers in the territory were for Yang Zhengdao and his son to live in.

"Princess Yicheng has great skills, is super-human in mind, can make decisions and be decisive in doing things." I nodded and gave a high evaluation of Princess Yicheng, the former Sui princess whom I had met.

However, this evaluation is not an exaggeration at all. It can be said that it is very mediocre. If this guy is a man, he will definitely become a capable general in the Great Sui royal family. Just his decisive personality and his eloquence that can fool Khans for generations are definitely the best choice.

Wei Yun nodded with emotion and agreed: "At the end of the Sui Dynasty, countless people returned to the Central Plains, so they became powerful and powerful, and they were in the middle Xia. Welcoming Empress Xiao, and placed them in Dingxiang. Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong, Liu Wuzhou, Liang Shidu, Gao Kaidao's disciples, even though they had titles of honor, they all praised the ministers from the north and received the title of Khan. The messengers came and went and looked at each other in the Tao. The Turks could have such prosperity, and Princess Yicheng contributed a lot."

"Well, if there was no Yicheng, Yang Guang had already died in Yanmen. If there was no Yicheng, Yang Zhengdao and Empress Xiao would not have been able to stand out again. If there was no Yicheng, the Turks would not have the prosperity they are today." I nodded. In the past, Princess Yicheng could be said to be on the same front as me.

But now, Yang Guang has fallen and the former Sui Dynasty collapsed and collapsed. However, Princess Yicheng believes that all the heroes in the world are usurpers and insist on restoring the former Sui Dynasty.

But is it really possible? The people of the former Sui people lost all their hearts, and today all the heroes emerged. The officials of the former Sui people had already died and surrendered. Now, Princess Yicheng's wish is nothing more than a helpless delusion.

"No matter what, Yan'an County is an important town in northern China. Liang Shidu and Turkic people are eyeing each other. If you are not careful, the peace in Guanzhong can be... "

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I should do my best. I will definitely not give the Turks the chance to drink the Ma Wei River." Wei Yun stood up and bowed to me and replied respectfully.

"Well, Guanbei has nothing to do, please ask me." I stood up and walked over, helped Wei Yunqi up, and said sincerely.

"Your Majesty, I have something, I hope your Majesty can agree." After Wei Yun stood up, he said to me. "I hope I can return to Guanbei as soon as possible."
