"Your Majesty, if there is a strong enemy cutting the path ahead..."
This problem is best solved.
Li Xingchen smiled: "The three armies of the Han Dynasty must be defeated by you!"
Those war lunatics in the Taiwei Mansion and the military are eager to do this.
It would be best if all the countries in the Western Regions, including Dashi and Persia, come to cause trouble, otherwise the Han soldiers will have no way to express their strength.
It may be more difficult to deal with the Northern Zhou Dynasty, after all, everyone knows each other too well, but to deal with you, the Han army with firearms can chop melons and vegetables even if they are at a disadvantage.
Your Majesty’s words are sonorous and powerful.
The powerful Han army was the guarantee of the Silk Road.
The merchants all smiled, even a little excited, and many stood up one after another, almost ready to prostrate themselves to the ground at any time.
Of course they also knew that building the Silk Road would be a lasting achievement.
Relying on His Majesty's promises and His Majesty's trust in them, they are willing to move forward for His Majesty!
The merchants rushed to express their determination. After Li Xingchen encouraged them a few more words, they did not stay at the market for too long.
His appearance and the promise he made personally are already the best endorsement.
If I stay too long, I'm afraid some thoughtful people will start to speculate on what His Majesty means and what he wants to do.
Although Li Xingchen only thought of the third and fourth floors, some people couldn't help but imagined the fifth and sixth floors.
So come in a hurry, go in a hurry, and explain things clearly, so there is no need to hesitate too much.
Your Majesty is also very busy, okay?
This can be proven by a pretty secretary in the palace who always likes to sleep with His Majesty's lap on his head.
Not long after, Li Xingchen returned to the palace city, leaving a group of merchants in the shop to exchange glances. After getting over the excitement, they should think about the difficulties involved.
A businessman's pursuit of profit is not something that can be moved by just a few words or a few promises, and he will be so excited that he will do whatever he wants.
Many businessmen present had to admit that His Majesty's promise was indeed very sincere, and they were really enthusiastic about it at the time. But now that they think about it carefully, His Majesty actually just roughly proposed such an idea.
In fact, even His Majesty himself may not know exactly what should be done and which step should be taken.
He just moved his mouth first.
Of course, everyone believed His Majesty's words about sending troops to protect and even conquer the enemy first. But what if we just wiped out the enemies in front of us? How long is this Silk Road and how high are the mountains ahead?
Or is it a desert? Is it a powerful dynasty that is willing to trade with the Han Dynasty? Or is it a troubled world that has fallen apart and is attacking each other?
Actually I don't know anything about this.
Roads are not that bad.
It has only been a few hundred years since the Silk Road was interrupted, and even scattered caravans from the west are still arriving in the northwest, which is enough to prove that the Silk Road is actually still passable.
The key lies in the latter.
What is the situation in the West now?
If a war breaks out over there, wouldn't it mean that if our caravan goes over, it will be a loss of life?
"Since the imperial court is willing to open a trade route to the Western Regions, and His Majesty has already appeared in person, we can't give any indication." The old man who was previously chosen as a representative to answer Li Xinchen's question said slowly, "Why don't we organize a team first?
The team went to Hexi and cooperated with various companies in the northwest to collect more information. What do you think?"
"Good!" Everyone nodded.
It's better to be more stable.

"Your Majesty..." Yuchi Chifan sat in the carriage and stopped talking.
Li Xingchen put down the memorial and raised his eyes to look at her: "What's wrong?"
"There is something I don't know about you..."
"Say, it's not my mother-in-law's fault." Li Xingchen said directly.
Yuchi Chifan suddenly pouted: "I'm not afraid that you are in a bad mood and won't be happy after hearing this."
"Okay!" Li Xingchen held her hand, "When did I become a fool who doesn't even want to listen to what others say?"
Speaking of this, Yuchi Chifan became more energetic. He looked straight at Li Xinchen, making Li Xinchen's back hair tremble. Then he said with a smile: "Then your majesty has the ability to keep Zhen'er away tonight.
I can serve His Majesty alone."
Li Xingchen immediately shook his head and said seriously: "Zhen'er is too inexperienced and needs you as a sister to teach her."
Two blushes appeared on Yuchi Chifan's face, and he lowered his head slightly: "I have taught you this several times before."
"I think I haven't taught you well yet," Li Xingchen said seriously.
Before Yuchi Chifan could say anything, Li Xingchen added: "Now that Zhen'er is lazy every day, she only knows how to lie down and sleep. Every day, she asks the maids and female officials around her to help me sort the memorials. She doesn't do anything herself, so why don't you do it?"
Say you teach well?"
The blush disappeared, and Yuchi Chifan's eyes widened: "Is what your Majesty said true?"
"Which one do you think it is?" Li Xingchen frowned.
"No, it's nothing." Yuchi Chifan shook his head hurriedly and said immediately, "This is an easy question. I will definitely teach Zhen'er a lesson tonight."
Li Xingchen put his arm around her waist, came close to her ear, and gently bit the crystal-clear earlobe: "Then where are you going to teach me a lesson?"
Yuchi Chifan was already in a state of confusion. He leaned on Li Xingchen's shoulder and murmured: "It will be wherever Your Majesty said it is."
Li Xingchen scratched the soft flesh on her waist, and Yuchi Chifan smiled coquettishly and shuddered.
"No more joking, what did you want to say just now?" Li Xingchen got to the point.
If he didn't change the topic, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to help himself and would just do it.
Yuchi Chifan straightened his collar, held on to the hairpin that was about to fall out on his head, and said directly: "Your Majesty's promises to these merchants do not seem to be very much, and they are only long-term. I am worried that they will not
That’s why I’m tempted.”
Li Xingchen nodded, expressing understanding.
What they promised themselves was actually not what the merchants really cared about.
Now, where exactly does this Silk Road lead and how much profit can it bring? In fact, even Li Xingchen himself has no way to guarantee it. All he can guarantee is the safety of this road.
The court can open roads, but it cannot guarantee whether or how much money can be made.
Perhaps some bolder merchants may be inclined to give it a try, but most merchants who can still afford to eat will probably choose to hold their butts and wait and see which way the wind blows.
If you don't move, I won't move. In the end, even if the Silk Road can be opened up, won't it be useless?
"What do you think Fan'er should do?" Li Xingchen asked.
It’s quite satisfying to be a foolish king. If you have any questions, just lie down on the beauty’s lap:
