The army had just entered Jiangyou, and the field of vision in front of them was much wider. There were not many mountains in Jiangyou. As far as the eye could see, they were mostly undulating hills. There were no trees on the hills. They were all dense terraces. The rice had been harvested. Now,
Most of the beans growing in the field are mature beans.
There are many farmers in the fields. The farmers' heads are wrapped in a thick circle of white linen or indigo linen, which makes their heads look very big.
Although the woman was not beautiful, she looked over at her from time to time with a pair of big talking eyes, causing the soldiers to howl like ghosts and wolves from time to time.
"Sichuan girls are passionate."
When Zhang Donghai saw Yunchu looking at the farmers in the fields with interest, he thought he was looking at a woman from Shu.
In Zhang Donghai's understanding, no general is not lewd. The last time he followed Yun Chu on the Eastern Expedition, he was just a general under the general manager Li Ji. If he dared to act recklessly, he would be punished.
Beheaded.
After General Li Ji defeated Goguryeo, at a banquet for senior generals, he held a princess in his left hand, a princess in his right hand, and two noble ladies beating their legs underneath...
Therefore, a person's true nature will generally be exposed without restraint.
Based on Li Zhi's nature, if he had not become the prince, he would never have given Wu Mei a second look. If he had not become the emperor, he would not have had the courage to take Wu Mei out of Ganye Temple.
It was because of having absolute power that Li Zhi felt that it didn't matter what he did, but in fact, it really didn't matter.
Yunchu is not like that, he regards himself as very precious.
The army was encamped outside Jiangyou City, and merchants from Chang'an who had arrived in Jiangyou earlier had also arrived in Jiangyou.
When the army came over, it brought 6,000 horses. After arriving in Jiangyou, there were only 4,000 horses left. Horses in Sichuan are generally smaller. This gives the bay-red horses enough opportunities to be proud, because
Those Shu horses look almost like donkeys when they stand next to it.
However, although the horses in Shu are short, they can walk over mountains and ridges with ease. The most important thing is that they have extremely strong load-bearing capacity, almost as good as the mules in Guanzhong.
Li Si was very dissatisfied with the Shuzhong horses she was assigned to pull the carriage, because the two horses, which were the same color as donkeys, were very out of place when they stood next to her carriage, and the carriage turned into a donkey in an instant.
car.
"The tall horses from Chang'an are the best animals!"
Li Si looked at Wen Huan who was now blooming and said to Yun Jin.
Wen Huan took the horse's bridle, put it on Yun Jin's head and said to Li Si, "He is the only one who is willing to be your horse."
Cheng Hu chuckled and said, "We six brothers can do it too."
Wen Huan said with hatred: "What benefit has she given you, so that you don't even want to lose face?"
Cheng Long smiled and said: "Princess Anding promised me that after I return to Chang'an, I can do business on Shandong Road with him."
When Li Si saw Wen Huan and Di Guangsi looking at her, she waved her hands and said, "The Cheng family has people in Shandong. We have so many cooperatives. The output must flow."
Cheng Jiao added: "Princess Anding also promised that our brothers can go to Longyou to open up wasteland together. She also said that the necessary Japanese slaves will be supplied by the princess."
Wen Huan frowned and said, "Didn't your Cheng family send anyone to Japan?"
Cheng Hu shook his head and said: "No, my ancestor was reluctant to send us to the Japanese country. He also said that crossing the sea is like tying your life to God's crotch. It is not safe at all. If the Cheng family loses, it is lost. There is no need to take any risks.
The lives of our descendants are exchanged for money."
Di Guangsi looked at Li Si and said, "I am strong, so I can help you pull the cart."
Yun Jin pulled the bridle off the horse's head and threw it to Di Guangsi, saying, "Then pull it."
Yunchu no longer allowed several of his disciples to think about making money.
The money that the Yun family, the Wen family, and the Di family threw into the Liushui brand back then will definitely come back hundreds or thousands of times in the near future. In the next many, many years, perhaps many lifetimes, they will not have to think about money.
Talking about making money now is a very boring thing. At the same time, it is also a very hateful thing, and it is also something that the emperor is afraid of.
Being as rich as one's country is never a compliment, but the beginning of ruining one's family and genocide.
Li Si is willing to use the industry that is destined to be given up to win over some people. This is feasible, such as the Cheng family.
In the future, the Yun family will not need a lot of land, nor a lot of industries. In addition to running water brands, there will be a few luxury goods industries that are not disconnected from business.
Wouldn't it be true that for a Yun family that has escaped from vulgar tastes, the only way left is to serve the country with loyalty and loyalty?
Therefore, what Yun Jin said to Di Guangsi was actually a little angry. This fool has not jumped out of the money trap yet. As the second senior brother, he is going to have a good talk with this fool tonight.
.
Di Guangsi also noticed that Yun Jin seemed a little angry, and he followed Yun Jin awkwardly. It was not until Yun Jin punched him in the head that he returned to his usual honest and honest appearance.
Li Si's expression was also sarcastic. In the past, Yun Jin listened to her, but now she felt that she should listen to Yun Jin.
Jiangyou is a good place, but it rains too much in late autumn, and once it starts to rain, it won't stop. Fortunately, the rain is not heavy, and the army has just crossed the Qinling Mountains and Bashan Mountains, so it really needs a rest, so,
The five consecutive days of autumn rain had little impact on the army.
Under the astonished gazes of the lieutenants and officers, groups of merchants lined up and walked into Yunchu's Chinese army tent. When these people left the Chinese army tent, they were all as majestic as those who had been ordered to go on an expedition.
General.
After Li Yuance watched for a long time, he said to Jiang Xie: "Why can't we, a marching commander Shi and an army commander, not enter the Chinese army's tent at this time?"
Jiang Xie looked back and said in a low voice: "The commander-in-chief doesn't believe us."
"We are March Commander Shi and Army Sima, why doesn't he believe us?"
Jiang Xie said indifferently: "Do you think he should believe us?"
Li Yuance's anger came to an abrupt end.
Jiang Xie continued: "I was sent by the Ministry of War to supervise the military discipline of the army, and you were sent by His Majesty to supervise the general's personal behavior. You and I both know this. Why do you think that the general will not know?
The Ministry of War is extremely dissatisfied with the general's expedition this time. They should have marched into the middle of Shu and into the southwest with great dignity, so that the barbarians could clearly see the majesty of our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, so that they would be afraid and dare not
Give birth to two minds.
However, Yun Chu used the simplest way to go on the expedition, without asking the court for huge amounts of grain, supplies, and equipment, or asking the Ministry of War to help mobilize civilians.
He only brought 3,000 iron armors, and the rest of the soldiers were basically wearing leather armors. They carried their own food and supplies, and the supplies were distributed by merchants. They completely generalized the military department and left Zhongshu aside.
Without the Zhongshu deploying troops, how could the Zhongshu promote the generals he liked? Without the Ministry of War preparing food and materials, how could they benefit from this war?
Without the need for local officials to conscript civilian husbands, how can local officials take away some food from the people's mouths and how can they take advantage of the opportunity of recruiting civilian husbands to make a fortune?
Let me tell you, if the commander-in-chief is willing to involve the Zhongshu, the Ministry of War, and even the local officials, and if the commander-in-chief takes the order to go on an expedition this time, and if all the benefits are shared by everyone, he will definitely receive the support of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty early on.
.
Nowadays, everyone thinks that the commander-in-chief wants to live alone, which will naturally restrict him and make things difficult for him.
So, it’s inevitable that the commander-in-chief doesn’t believe in us.”
Li Yuance said: "Chang'an is already extremely wealthy, why can't it give others some opportunities to make a fortune?"
Jiang Xie chuckled and said: "The prosperity of Chang'an means the prosperity of all the people. If the general is willing to share the profits, the only people who will benefit from the profits will be the high-ranking officials. Not only will the local people not get the benefits, but they will suffer disasters because of the war."
Li Yuance said: "I don't understand the world, and I don't know how the commander-in-chief got to his current position."
Jiang Xiedao: "With each tangible contribution, with a wealthy Chang'an city, with bloody battles in the Western Regions and Liaodong, a certain family has always admired the commander-in-chief as a person, but I just can't do it."
Li Yuance shook his head and said: "It won't last long."
Jiang Xie glanced at Li Yuance, then turned and left.
In Yunchu's military tent, besides Zhang Donghai, there were all the major shopkeepers in Chang'an City.
Yunchu looked at Huo Cheng, the second shop owner of Chang'an Liushui Brand, and said, "Is there any problem with directly taking over Chengdu Liushui Brand?"
Huo Cheng glanced at the senior shopkeeper Heiro next to him and said, "No problem."
Yun Chu nodded and said: "It's best that there is no problem. I will take advantage of this march into the southwest to completely revitalize the Liushui brand in Chengdu. I will make all goods from Shuzhong, Bazhong and Southwest go through the channels of Chengdu Liushui brand."
.
At the same time, we must also use the liushui brand to monopolize large-scale transactions throughout central Sichuan and the southwest, so there is no room for any mistakes."
Huo Chengdao: "There are three trade routes in central Shu, one is the trade route with Chang'an, the other is the trade route along the Yangtze River, and the third is the trade with the Tubo people.
The trade route with Chang'an is already in our hands. The trade route along the river cannot be expanded due to the reefs in the Three Gorges waterway. The trade route with Tubo is already somewhat unable to make ends meet because most of the Tubo people go to Niboluo.
Based on this, my subordinates believe that as long as we from Chang’an intervene strongly and the commander-in-chief’s heroic demeanor, it will not be difficult to win.”
Yun Chu said: "There is no need to say all the good things to them. Just say good things to them. If they don't listen, I will let the soldiers get involved."
Huo Cheng said worriedly: "If we invade Shuzhong with such loud noises, will it be detrimental to the commander-in-chief?"
Yun Chu shook his head and said: "The prince is rectifying his subordinates recently. Many of them are being rectified because they are related to the queen. This time, the prince will not endure it any longer and is ready to seek justice from the queen. The queen should now
They can’t even take care of us.”
Huo Chengdao: "Subordinate, it is not the Queen who is worried."
Yun Chu said: "As long as it's about money, Your Majesty is very confident in me. As long as I don't change His Majesty's arrangements in Shu, basically nothing will happen.
Go ahead and execute it, I will only give you half a month. The day my army arrives in Chengdu will be the time when merchants from Shuzhong, Bazhong, and Chang'an break into pieces and enter the southwest."
