After coming to this era and figuring everything out, Li Shan's first thought was that he no longer had to be an unknown worker ant with a clear division of labor and working hard for life in modern society.
In other words, Li Shan never thought about relying on some inventions that transcended the times to live a life of eating and waiting to die. Since he has traveled to this era, he must leave some mark, and he must write his own mark in the history books. name.
Even though there was Li Dewu in front of him who abandoned his wife and son, and even though there was a huge obstacle in the way of the Hedong Pei family, Li Shan never gave up.
It may not be the yearning for power, but ambition still grows deep in his heart.
Choosing to go abroad is not so much that he was forced to Dai County by Pei Shiju. It is better to say that Li Shan actually had similar wishes, or that he very much welcomed Pei Shiju's move.
Dai County is full of wastes waiting to be revitalized, a place where four battles took place... Where else could it be easier than here for a young county official like himself to be successful and make achievements?
After arriving in Dai County, after a period of deep thought, Li Shan made two points in his mind. The first was the premise. Only if Yanmen was not breached could he have the space and time to perform.
The second is the foundation, based on business, first gather wealth, then gather people, and finally gather troops to become a force that can be held in hand.
Although I may not be able to stay in Dai County for a long time, I must leave my mark here.
Liu Shirang was obsessed with restoration, power, and titles. He turned against Li Gaoqian and Li Shenfu successively, which led to the defeat of the Tang army. The situation in Dai and Shuo prefectures took a turn for the worse, and even Yanmen Pass was once in danger. This made Li Shan extremely dissatisfied and even disgusted.
Now they have to cut off trade routes again... How can Li Shan tolerate this!
After putting on his clothes, Li Shan strode out of the house with a cold face, trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart, desperately reminding himself in his heart... No matter what, Liu Shirang is the guard of Yanmen, and he can't quarrel with him, otherwise he will have to let Li Gaoqian , Li Shenfu benefited.
Li Gaoqian and Li Shenfu wished that Liu Shirang had lost Yanmen... The former wished that Liu Shirang had been cut into pieces, while the latter urgently needed a victory to wash away the shame of defeat and avoid the upcoming punishment.
Liu Shirang stared at the few people entering the customs with an expressionless face, "His Majesty has already issued an edict to prohibit mutual trade between Turks. How dare you to leave the customs privately!"
"Mr. Liu." A young man took two steps forward and chuckled: "We are not going to the grassland, we are just going to our old place, Yunzhou."
“Isn’t Yunzhou a land of Turks?”
"Yunzhou has always been China!" A tall and tall middle-aged man raised his head and said: "We are selling goods and buying good horses. Do you want Liu Gong to refuse us?"
Liu Shirang glanced at the tall horse behind the people and sneered: "I was ordered to guard the pass..."
"Liu Gong, Liu Gong." Li Shan approached with a stiff face and glanced at the opposite side. Part of them was the caravan of the Pei family and the Liu family, and part of it was the caravan of Dai County. Zhou Erlang was still inside.
"Mr. Liu." Li Shan bowed and said, "Since we have a good horse, why don't we allow it to enter the customs and buy horses at market price to join the army."
Liu Shirang cast suspicious eyes on Li Shan's face and shook his head resolutely, "I am determined not to do it. Now that the Turks are besieging Mayi, these people come from Yunzhou. They may not be spies sent by Yuan Junzhang."
"Definitely not spies." Li Shan sighed, hesitated, and whispered: "There are members of the Liu family in Jie County and the Pei family in Wenxi..."
No matter how stupid Liu Shirang was, he still picked up on it and stared at Li Shan closely, "I'm afraid you are also involved."
"Yes." Li Shan replied crisply: "Please give Mr. Liu a chance."
After a pause, Li Shanchong winked at Li Daoxuan who was not far away, "By the way, General You Weiwei, King Huaiyang arrived at Yanmen yesterday. He hasn't met Liu Gong yet, has he?"
Li Daoxuan came slowly and nodded slightly towards Liu Shirang.
"I'm going to pay my respects to the King of Huaiyang."
Gu Jie
"Brother Daoxuan was worried about the safety of Yanmen and came to investigate." Li Shan smiled and said: "I didn't meet Mr. Liu first yesterday. It was really rude..."
Liu Shirang's expression changed unpredictably, while Li Daoxuan had a smile on his lips.
Li Daoxuan knew his good friend very well. He was so angry when he heard the news just now, but now he suppressed his anger and even refused to introduce him to Liu Shiren... He was backing away again with his usual trick.
The most important thing is that there is a hidden meaning in Li Shan's words. Li Daoxuan is very concerned about the safety of Yanmen... Why is he concerned? It's because I am here.
Liu Shi wants you to think clearly. Li Shenfu and Li Gaoqian wish you could hang up in Yanmen. Li Yuanji is still far away in Taiyuan Mansion... Huaiyang King Li Daoxuan is your most likely and only helper.
Liu Shirang hesitated for a long time and looked back at those people. He didn't quite believe that... Wenxi, the descendants of the Pei family and the Liu family in Xie County would go out to do business during the war. This trade route had not been traveled by anyone for a long time.
And Li Shan did not hesitate to give in and let them enter the customs... Liu Shirang suddenly remembered that Li Shan rushed to Nao County more than half a month ago, and he was able to point out that Yu Gushe and Yu Sheshe led the Turkic cavalry south.
Liu Shirang was almost certain that this was probably Li Shan's handiwork... he might have gotten military information by sending a caravan out to do business.
"Allow him to enter the pass." Liu Shirang whispered: "But all the horses will be detained and sent to the army."
"Isn't it good?" Li Shan smiled bitterly and said: "There are about three hundred good horses, all of which can be used as war horses. The market price of a horse in Jingzhao is ten thousand yuan."
The calculation was so clear, it was definitely the business of the guy in front of him... Liu Shirang waved his hand with a cold face: "Either keep the horses, or they are not allowed to enter the customs."
Li Shan was so condescending, "Mr. Liu, please be accommodating."
"I heard that Magistrate Li is favored by the saint." Liu Shirang sneered: "Are you going to disobey the saint's edict?"
The bitter smile on Li Shan's face gradually subsided, and with a sarcastic look on his lips, he turned his head and glanced, waving his hand and saying: "Switch to release."
Kan Leng and Wang Junhao couldn't help but take a few steps forward to push away the soldiers blocking the way, and directed the guard to turn on and off the door.
"You are so brave!" Liu Shirang was furious, "You, Li Huairen, cannot afford to let Turkic spies enter the country privately!"
Li Shan slowly raised his hand, stretched out his index finger and tapped the tip of Liu Shirang's nose, "I will tell you clearly today that there are many Li Huairen personal guards in the caravan. What can you do?!"
"Liu Shirang, you are the magistrate of Guo County, and I am the acting magistrate."
"You are granted the title of Marquis of Yiyang County, and a certain person is the Duke of Guantao County."
"You were ordered to conquer Mayi, and I was ordered to revive Yanmen."
"If you are brave enough, just submit a letter of impeachment. I will wait!"
"You should respect your elders, but do you think...what is it about you that deserves my respect, Li Huairen?"
Li Shan spat unscrupulously, making Liu Shirang not only pale, but almost crumbling... In front of many generals and guards, Liu Shirang's prestige had been reduced to the bottom by being so humiliated by Li Shan.
Li Daoxuan sighed and looked at Liu Shirang with pity... Huairen has tolerated several times for the sake of the overall situation. Why do you insist on provoking him? !
Huairen has always been kind to others, but when he is forced to have no way out, he often fights back, which puts his opponent in a desperate situation.
Of course Li Daoxuan could see that Liu Shirang actually had little ability to resist Li Shan.
