The Golden Age

Yu Wencheng said: "Naturally things will not be small, but they have not reached the point of irreparability."

"Oh?" Zhao Yi asked busyly, "Master, don't you...?"

"If the white wolf king does not leave room, it will not just make people burn the Tang City." Yu Wencheng said: "The people who heard it reported that although the Wu Tuo cavalry set fire, he did not kill. The white shopkeeper was only fooled. The soldiers captured and did not hurt their lives."

The fat fish immediately said: "Princess, it seems that although the white wolf king is full of anger, he has not completely lost his mind, and at least gave him a chance to maneuver."

Yu Wencheng said: "The Tang Dynasty City is a trade field. The merchants from east to west bring such great benefits to the White Wolf King. He burned the trade field. If it is you, what is the reason for this?"

"The trade field can bring great benefits to the White Wolf tribe, even if it is not for individuals, for the entire tribe, no matter what the big thing, I will endure." Fat fish sighed: "This fire is not just burning After the Tang Dynasty, and also burned the hearts of those businessmen, who would dare to continue trading there?"

"Dead Fatty is right this time." Zhao Yi immediately agreed: "It's me instead. Unless the people in the Tang Dynasty City and I have the hatred of killing my father, why should I trouble them?"

"Chinatown is doing business, who will offend the White Wolf King?" Dapeng frowned: "It is almost impossible for the hatred of the father to kill his wife. The fare of the White Wolf King is as far as I know. There is a day or two in the city of China, how can there be direct conflict?"

After thinking for a while, Qin Xiao finally said: "Duke, the White Wolf King does that, is it possible to be forced?"

"I have no choice?" Yuwen Chengchao looked at Qin Xiao: "What do you mean?"

"I don't know much about the city of Tang Dynasty." Qin Xiaodao said: "But listening to what you said, the city of Tang Dynasty is too important for the white wolf tribe. The white wolf king is so stupid that he won't break his arm. Since he does this, he must For the sake of reason, he even had to do it, that is to say, if he did not do so, he would cause greater trouble to the White Wolf tribe than the benefits brought by the Tang Dynasty." He paused before continuing: "Although he did this, he didn't do anything. He just set fire to no murder, leaving room for maneuver."

Yuwen Chengchao nodded and said: "The father meant that the white wolf king only grabbed people and grabbed the white shopkeeper. That probably meant that the Yuwen family sent people to deal with this matter. Although he didn't know what happened, the white wolf The leeway left by Wang should be left for the Yuwen family. He knew that the white shopkeeper was the person of the Yuwen family. He deliberately grabbed the white shopkeeper. He hoped that the Yuwen family would send someone to explain clearly. Both sides have benefits."

"Send someone to Wu Tuo?" The fat fish's face tightened: "Master, who is the old Hou Ye preparing to send?"

"I!" Yu Wencheng said indifferently: "It's a matter of importance. If you just send someone at random, the white wolf king might think that our Yuwen family wouldn't take this seriously, or even anger the white wolf king because of this. It's not easy to clean up. I am the eldest son of the Yuwen family's sister-in-law. I went there personally, at least to make the white wolf king feel that we value him."

Zhao Yi's face also dignified, saying: "Is Uncle Meng always in charge of accounts? The Tang Dynasty is a trade, and it is related to accounts. Why not let Uncle Meng resolve this time?"

"It is useless to say that now." Yu Wencheng said: "And Uncle Meng is only a relative of Yu Wen's family. Even if his father is very important to him, in the eyes of Wu Tuo, he is not a Yu Wen family."

Fat Fish sighed: "

If you don't care about the others, this time you go to Wu Tuo to resolve disputes in the Tang Dynasty. Regardless of identity or ability, Yu Wenjia can't find a more suitable person than the eldest son. "Ask again:" Grand Master, can the old Hou Ye say when to leave? "

"Father asked to wait another two days to see if anyone came back to report the detailed situation." Yu Wencheng said: "If there is no other news in two days, then he will leave in two days."

"So anxious?" Zhao Yi surprised.

"The white shopkeeper is only afraid of being more anxious in the prison of the Wutu people." Yu Wencheng said: "Father's meaning, among the eight Wutu tribes, the white wolf king of the white wolf tribe has always belonged to the main and the faction. Tuo and Datang Daobing met each other, and on his site, they were fairly protective of the merchants who came and went, and the Tang people who were out of the border were also safer."

"If other tribes can sit and take money like him, they won't be hostile to Datang." Zhao Yi said: "If we go all day and night, and we can't use it for seven or eight days, we should be able to get to the city of Tang."

Yuwen Chengchao shook his head and said, "You can't just pass by like this."

"The eldest son is worried about becoming the target?" Fatty Fish asked.

Yu Wencheng said: "Don't forget what Wang Xiao said just now, don't forget that the White Wolf King set fire to catch people, it may not be his own meaning, but is forced to help. Think about it, who can make the White Wolf King. Forced to break his arms?"

"On the territory of the Wutuohan Kingdom, only the Wutuohan King has this ability." Fat fish said: "But why did the Wutuohan embarrass the Tang Dynasty?"

"What's the situation, we don't know yet, so we can't negotiate with the White Wolf King directly." Yu Wencheng Chao thoughtfully: "Maybe the White Wolf King is not willing to find him directly."

The fat fish understood and said, "The eldest son wanted to cover up his identity first. What was the situation in the past and had the opportunity to contact the white wolf king again?"

"I just know that the Dou family and the Tian family seem to be preparing to go to Guanwai these days." Yu Wencheng said: "They are going out of the customs under the flag of the Longhe caravan, and they have prepared for a month or two."

Zhao Yi responded: "Duke, do you mean we go out with Long and the caravan?"

"The Wu Tuo people have always been wary of the people in the Guan." Yu Wencheng said: "If we have a few riding sabers out of the customs, we will immediately be targeted by the Wu Tu people. It is not easy to get rid of them. Only the caravan When going out, Wutu talents will relax, and we will not be conspicuous when we are mixed in the caravan."

The fat fish frowned: "Princess, the city of China was burnt. It should not only be the news that we got, but the Dou family should also know that something has changed there. I am worried that after the news there, Longhe caravan will go out of the customs. Postpone or even stop."

"It's up to you to do this." Yu Wencheng said: "After dawn, you go directly to Longhe Business and tell him that this time Tian Du and the two must go out of the customs, there is no room for negotiation, if they If you don’t agree, you won’t have to go out and do business in the future.” The tone is very tough.

Zhao Yi saw that Qin Xiao was unfamiliar with this, and he explained: "The merchants must be organized by the trade bank. The trade association will arrange guards and routes to ensure that the merchant's goods can be successfully sold, but the profit of the goods, Charge 20%."

Qin Xiao thought that if he was responsible for protecting security and getting through the checkpoints along the way, charging 20% ​​of the profits would actually be reasonable.

Qin Xiao is not very clear about the doorways in business, but he knows a little.

Xiling Gate Valve

In addition to the taxes imposed on the people, the most important item is actually trade.

Xiling has always been a trade place for merchants from east to west. Before the Wutu people had prospered, the Central Plains had commercial ties with the Western Regions. In the hundreds of years before the founding of the Tang Dynasty, many caravans ventured to the Western Regions. As a result, the Xiling Business Road was opened, and the merchants of the Western Regions also learned the Tang Dynasty and entered the territory of Xiling to the east. The merchants from east to west made Xiling once prosperous.

However, many years after Wu Tuo's chaos, business channels were interrupted, King Wu Tuohan voluntarily requested to resume trade, and the Xiling Gate Valves also contributed to this.

After the restoration of the commercial road, because of the existence of the horse bandits, it also affected the smoothness of the business road. After the Xiling doormen attacked the horse bandits, they began to implement various strategies in commerce. For example, to trade in Xiling, the merchants on both sides must go through the commerce controlled by the doormen. Yes, no direct transactions in private.

If there are merchants who want to fight for higher profits and are willing to venture out of the customs, then it must be organized by the trading bank of Xiling and put on the flag of the trading bank.

Although the Dou family and the Tian family are also Xiling gentry, they still have to catch up with the Longhe trading house controlled by the Yuwen family to get out of the customs.

In other words, whoever wants to earn money through the customs without the permission of the three gates of Xiling will never succeed.

"Yes!" Fatty Fish nodded. "I'll pass as soon as the day lights up."

"Also, we also have some goods on our own side." Yu Wencheng whispered: "Hou's house will be prepared, but not for trading, but for gifts. When we arrive at Wutu, we first check It is clear from the situation that I heard that the White Wolf King is also a man who is greedy for money and good looks. Let's prepare a gift for him here and find an opportunity to give it away. Whether the Chinese city can restore it or not, at least we must rescue the White Shopkeeper's safety."

"If the white shopkeeper knew that the old Hou Ye and the eldest son were so worried about his affairs, there would be no regrets about his death." Zhao Yi sighed.

The fat fish glanced at him and said lightly: "You can rest assured that if you are one day imprisoned by the Wu Tuo, the eldest son will not ignore it."

"Fat fat man, you can't vomit ivory in your mouth." Zhao Yi scolded: "This time when you pass the gate, you will be the first to be the Wu Tuo people...!" It’s a joke, it’s also a bad sign, and the rest of the words swallowed back.

"We will pretend to be the guards of the caravan." Yu Wencheng said: "There are hundreds of caravans that go out every year, and each team has an escort, so we will not be noticed when we go out."

"The eldest son has thought about it." Fat fish said: "Be prepared for the rain, then there will be no problem."

Yuwen Chengchao shook his head and said: "It's not that I have thought about it, it is Vice President Liu who made a speech to his father and made arrangements."

"Vice Commander Liu?" Fatty Fish stunned: "Liu Wenxuan?"

When Qin Xiao heard Liu Wenxuan's name, he thought of the weird scene that evening, and his back was numb.

Somehow, since knowing that many people in Baihuying were inexplicably missing and Liu Wenxuan, Qin Xiao felt uncomfortable when he heard the name.

"Father's meaning, let him also go with him this time." Yu Wencheng said: "Lieutenant Liu is trusted by his father, he is cautious and prudent, and he is resourceful, and the truth of the Tang Dynasty's affairs, we have nothing at present. Knowing what exactly will happen on this trip, we don’t even know that Liu Wenxuan will be with him and will be more confident to deal with it when he encounters difficulties."
