Yun Chu had already connected Chang'an with the Western Regions through Lao Monkey.
The Western Region is connected to the land in the river, the land in the river is connected to the Great Food Kingdom that emerged at the same time during the Tang Dynasty, and the Great Food Country is linked to the land in the far west. According to Yunchu’s knowledge, the merchants there are in order to
Able to gain more business benefits and willing to spend their lives on distant business journeys.
Since the opening of the Silk Road, both the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty have benefited greatly from it.
Therefore, running the Western Region well is actually managing Datang's own interests. Yunchu hopes to turn Chang'an into a huge pool, and then connect it to other people's pools through these trade routes, and then use water pumps to pump out the water.
Dahang City will also be connected to Chang'an Valley, but it will connect to the north.
Goguryeo will perish, Silla will perish, and Baekje will perish. I just don’t know if the emperor is interested in the Japanese country. If he is interested, the Japanese country will also perish.
In fact, in Yunchu's view, the 380,000-strong army led by Li Ji, equipped with a large amount of gunpowder, already had the power to destroy the world.
In this army, there are generals with the highest quality in the world, semi-professional soldiers with the best equipment in the world, plus gunpowder, a weapon that awakens mankind from ignorance. If Li Zhi suddenly goes crazy one day, he will not hesitate to
If he wants to take over the whole world, in fact, he can do it.
Of course, only Yunchu thought so, and even Li Zhi himself didn't know that he was already so powerful.
Having said that, the fatal flaw of the Tang Dynasty was still that it was too poor, and the country's savings were not enough to support this invincible army to fight to the end of the world.
Since the Japanese left, the harbor of Dahang City has gradually become a bit like the Tokyo of the past in Yunchu's impression.
The entertainment industry is undoubtedly the first to flourish. Those who have been drifting on the sea for a long time have an insatiable demand for eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.
Those guys who had just escaped from death had no sense of begrudging the wealth they obtained from the sea. The first thing they did after landing was to indulge themselves.
Therefore, after Yun Chu discussed with Gao Wen, they decided to carve out a large piece of land and then surround the port to form an independent place.
Even if it's bad, it can only be bad at the port.
The industry that Yunchu prepared for his subordinates and even Gawain was in the port area. When this area slowly becomes prosperous, he can make a lot of money even by selling water.
After all, Dahang City belongs to the Tang Dynasty, so it must be managed in a way that the industry in the port belongs to people like Yunchu. We must consider how to make more money in the shortest time.
Gao Wen believes that the brothel industry should be a very good industry here, and he has a lot of resources at his disposal.
Yun Chu, Wen Wen, and Zhong Kui believed that the gambling industry should be a good industry. For this reason, Yun Chu also developed many gambling methods, such as mahjong and poker.
Zhang Donghai and Wang Defa are both honest people, and they think it would be a good business to open a large inn with food here.
In short, when Dahang City showed some signs of prosperity, the industrial layout here had basically been formed.
…
At this time, Pei Xingjian and Heiji Changzhi were playing hide and seek in the Huangshan Mountains of Baekje.
Xue Rengui was leading his troops and horses roaring through the hilly areas of Goguryeo, looting and killing with arrogance.
When Zhong Kui arrived at Hanyi City with the grain and grass needed by the army and handed over orders to Li Ji, even Zhong Kui could see Li Ji's deep disappointment.
Imagine
"What are Yunchu doing in Dahang City?" Li Ji lazily asked Zhong Kui after Chief Shi Pang Tongshan put his seal on the document.
Zhong Kui said: "We are working day and night to produce various military products."
Gao Kan chuckled and said: "The destruction of Goguryeo is just around the corner. After the spring begins, the army will return in triumph."
Li Ji looked at Zhong Kui who was hesitant to speak and said, "What do you want to say?"
Zhong Kui cupped his hands and said, "Where is Silla?"
Gao Kan continued to smile and said: "Silla is our ally."
Zhong Kui cupped his hands towards Gao Kan and said, "Yun Chu thinks that since the army has already arrived, he might as well finish the matter at once to avoid having to worry about it again later."
Gao Kan put on an old face and said: "That's unreasonable."
Zhong Kui looked at Li Ji and said: "Since your Majesty has already called Silla Jilin Road, and now Jilin Road Silla is eating the city of Baekje in Xiongjin Road, my general believes that the war in Goguryeo will not be over for a while."
Li Ji said with great interest: "Is this what Yunchu wanted you to say?"
Zhong Kui said: "This is a humble view."
Li Ji chuckled lightly and said, "I looked down upon you in court that day. Now that you are starting to stand out, you might as well show your face more so that I can see your appearance clearly."
Zhong Kui said: "When I was chatting with the general, Chang Shi, I once discussed the matter of the Eastern Expedition. The general thought that since Goguryeo and Baekje were destroyed and Silla was left alone, Silla would become a big family. In the future, we can only use duck
Green water is the boundary, and everyone has his own son. Changshi believes that if the Silla Kingdom cannot be destroyed, the Eastern Expedition will be in vain. I deeply believe what the general and Changshi said."
Li Ji looked at Gao Kan and said, "Did you hear that?~~The Silla Kingdom will be immortal, and the Eastern Expedition will be in vain."
Gao Kan said angrily: "That's a bunch of nonsense."
Because Zhong Kui was no longer under the command of Gao Kan in the rear army at this time, but was serving under the general manager of Wuxingdao, he ignored the angry Gao Kan and saluted Li Ji:
"I have humbled myself, Meng Lang. I will return to Daxing City immediately."
Li Jidao: "Did Yunchu make many military products in Dahang City?"
Zhong Kui said: "The general has issued countless orders, and the people in Dahang City are working day and night to make them for the army."
Li Ji frowned and said: "Common people? Common people of the Tang Dynasty?"
Zhong Kui squeezed out a smile with his ugly face and said: "The people of Dahang City are paying the Autumn Fu of the Tang Dynasty. Among the people who came to humiliate the city to transport food and supplies for the army, many of them are doing so according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty.
, implement the adjustment of the three taxes on rent and servants.”
Li Ji looked back at the generals in the military tent and said with a smile: "Listen, listen, Daxing City has become the capital of our Tang Dynasty. Not only is it manufacturing military supplies for my army, but also starting to pay taxes. So, then
Dahang City should also start to implement the laws of the Tang Dynasty. Let’s talk about it, you can say whatever you want.”
Pang Tongshan coughed and said: "Children are just good at talking big words. You don't need to take it to heart."
…
Li Ji's originally warm eyes suddenly became sharp. Looking at Pang Tongshan and Gao Kan, Qi Bi Heli and other important generals said: "This is not the first time that Yun Chu has boasted in front of me. The problem is that he has not done anything in these years.
All the things that I have boasted about have come true miraculously. Do you think it is strange? I think back then, people in Chang'an boasted that Yun Chu could cut off the head of an admiral in the midst of thousands of troops, as if he were trying to retrieve something from a bag. At that time, you guys
Hearing this rumor, who wouldn’t be laughing at someone’s arrogance? As a result, you saw it with your own eyes during the battle across the river. Gao Kan really fulfilled his promise to kill the general among thousands of troops, and also killed the Goguryeo general Yuan Nanshan
, now, can you still laugh?"
Being ridiculed by the coach in this way, Gao Kan looked a little embarrassed and defended: "I just hurt Mr. Yuan, that's all. I still have doubts."
Li Ji chuckled and said: "Since you have doubts, then I will tell you the truth. Boy Yuan died the first time he was hit by Yun Chu's short spear. Boy Yuan who appeared later was just a Goguryeo pretending to be
That's it. Let me say one more thing, it is a fact that the poison on Yun Chu's weapon cannot be cured. Even if Sun Shenxian comes in person, it cannot be cured, because this poison was inadvertently created by Sun Shenxian himself.
See the effect of blood sealing the throat."
When Gao Kan saw that Li Ji came forward to speak for Yun Chu, he said to his chief historian: "Let him record it."
Chang Shi agreed in a low voice.
Li Ji added: "What the young man said is right. Since our Tang Dynasty's so-called five hundred thousand army has spent countless national funds to come to Liaodong, there is absolutely no reason to leave endless troubles. If we can't clean it up at once this time
, if we can create a hundred years of peace in one go, then our efforts will really be in vain.”
Pang Tongshan hesitated and said, "Does your Majesty have such intention?"
Li Ji waved his hand and said: "We will be out here, and I will not accept your order."
Pang Tongshan said worriedly: "Silla and Tang Dynasty have always been on good terms."
Li Ji laughed and said: "No matter how good it is, it would be better to be my capital of the Tang Dynasty!"
Pang Tongshan cupped his hands and said: "There is still time, please allow me to send an urgent messenger from the official."
install."
Li Ji ignored Pang Tongshan, a long history of indecision, and said to Zhong Kui: "Go back, it seems there is no room for you here."
This was the first time he had entered the Chinese army's tent. After seeing these warriors, who were said to be the most elite in the Tang Dynasty, it was the first time he had a feeling like the thunder of Huang Zhong destroying the earthenware cauldron.
Zhong Kui agreed and left the Chinese army's tent.
Those situations that both Yun Chu and Wen Wen could see clearly, but these people seemed to be blind, unable to see the crisis in Silla Kingdom at all. Zhong Kui even agreed with Yun Chu's words that once the Tang army retreats back to the country
, the Silla army will surely sweep across the entire peninsula.
Fortunately, there are still people who can see clearly, otherwise Zhong Kui would feel that being in the company of these people would be a humiliation to his own intelligence.
When he returned to the camp where he had just set up camp, he saw that Wang Defa was sleeping like a dead pig, so Zhong Kui lay down. After walking so many miles in the ice and snow, even a hard-working man felt tired.
However, he still fulfilled Yunchu's request - asked the British Duke to leave the gunpowder to the Silla people instead of wasting it in vain in the city of humiliation.
It seems that Duke Ying has accepted Yunchu's suggestion.
After dawn the next day, Zhong Kui was ready to leave the humiliating city with his soldiers and slave soldiers.
As a result, he was stopped by a flag officer, who handed him a letter from Duke Ying and asked him to give it to Yun Chu.
Zhong Kui took a look at the paint on the letter, carefully put it in his arms, and then left the city of Humiliation without looking back.
