The next day.
Wei Shuyu got up early.
He was in the small yard, brushing his teeth with a homemade toothbrush.
Behind him, Wang Xuance stood respectfully.
After gargling for a while, Gululu sprayed the water into the flower pot.
"Master, those are the flowers sent by Miss Qiqi." Uncle Wu said resentfully.
"Oh, can't we just ask her to give her another pot?" Wei Shuyu replied nonchalantly.
"..."
Uncle Wu was tired.
The housekeeper of the old Wei family has a lot of work and little money, and the master is difficult to take care of.
It’s really not easy to be a good person.
Why is there no one to pry the corner and poach me away?
After chatting casually for a few words, Lao Wu left.
Wei Shuyu and Wang Xuance are left...
"Do you know what the mission of this mission to Tibet is?" Wei Shuyu wiped his face with a towel.
"Let Songtsen Gampo send troops to attack Tuyuhun." Wang Xuance thought for a while and replied.
"No……"
Wei Shuyu objected: "Let them send troops to harass, not attack!"
Um?
Wang Xuance showed a puzzled expression.
The imperial edict clearly stated that Tubo should send troops to attack.
"Songtsen Gampo is an ambitious man..."
"Either he doesn't play, or if he does play, he goes all out."
"Once Songtsen Gampo attacks Tuyuhun with all his strength..."
"Then the land he conquered will not be spit out easily!"
As Wei Shuyu told him, Wang Xuance also understood.
How could the territory that Songtsen Gampo had conquered with all his strength be given away in vain?
Because even if he takes it, Datang can't do anything to him!
After all... it was Datang who asked him to send troops to attack.
"So your task is not easy..."
Wei Shuyu showed a smile: "We want Songtsen Gampo to send troops, but we must also prevent him from actually sending troops."
"And even if troops are sent, they must be of a kind that attracts Tuyuhun to return for rescue."
"..."
Wang Xuance was numb.
This is too difficult.
Which king would let go of his achievements in opening up new territories?
"Master Wei, please give me some advice."
Wang Xuance saluted.
"There are not so many pointers on the road of life."
Wei Shuyu shook his head: "Your talent, knowledge and knowledge are enough to stand alone."
"..."
Just tell me to find a way to solve it myself.
"Don't panic."
Wei Shuyu smiled and said, "You have to believe in yourself."
"The Tang Dynasty is far away from Tubo, and you still have so much time to think about strategies."
"Besides, you are just a deputy envoy."
"Even if things go wrong, there will always be someone to support you."
Wang Xuance was stunned.
That makes damn sense.
If you solve it yourself, the credit belongs to you.
If you can't handle it yourself, the leader will take responsibility.
Although doing this would offend the leader, according to the words of the Old Wei family...
If you can't handle it, why don't you allow me to come in?
"Thank you, Ambassador Wei, for enlightening me." Wang Xuance saluted again.
"okay."
Wei Shuyu smiled and said: "There is a letter on the case. If you really can't figure out Songtsan Gampo, just give this letter to him."
"remember."
"Don't peek."
"Only open it when it can't be solved!"
Oh, it turns out that Master Wei has already thought of a solution for me.
really……
I am still Master Wei's most beloved... second disciple!
"I will obey Master Wei's order."
Wang Xuance gave a solemn salute.
Then he carefully collected the letter.
"Wow, brother, you're awake."
At this moment, Qin Shandao came to report early.
When he saw Wang Xuance: "Hey, junior brother, you are here too."
Junior brother?
Wang Xuance's mouth twitched.
Then he saluted Qin Shandao and said, "I've met senior brother."
"oh oh."
Qin Shandao returned the salute in a decent manner.
It's good to have a junior brother.
Just breaking too many rules.
"Master Wei, if there are no other instructions, Xuance is about to set off."
Wang Xuance said goodbye.
"Um."
Wei Shuyu waved his hand.
"Cauldron, cauldron..."
Just at this time, Cui Shenji arrived in a hurry.
When he saw that Wei Shuyu had gotten up, he immediately felt unhappy.
How could the cauldron get up without my shout?
no!
Come and call the cauldron before dawn tomorrow.
"You guys go to the door and wait for me."
Wei Shuyu said: "I'm going to the study."
"oh oh."
Cui Shenji stumbled to the door.
"Xiao Shandao, why don't you come with me?"
After taking just a few steps, Cui Shenji suddenly turned around and asked, "Can't you read?"
"Almost recognized."
Qin Shandao stepped forward thiefly: "Brother Jiji, the war is about to break out recently. My father has also gone to the army to help dispatch soldiers, so he has no time to beat me."
"..."
So envious.
A baby without a father watching over him is just comfortable.
"Brother Jiji, don't let your brother know anything." Qin Shandao handed over a piece of sugar.
Sugar.
Cui Shenji narrowed his eyes and took it, then patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Cui Shenji is very tight-lipped."
After Wei Shuyu came out, the group set off in great force...
"Big pot, where are you going today?" Cui Shenji asked.
"Hu County."
Wei Shuyu sighed.
He just went to the study to talk with Wei Zheng.
The matter of corvee needs to be put aside for the time being.
War together...
The collection of military service was the primary policy of the Tang Dynasty.
"oh."
The four of them set foot on the road to Hu County again.
Along the way, the three goods kept chattering...
"Brother Ai'ai, Changsun Chong has been wandering again recently." Qin Shandao began to report.
"Put a sack on him tomorrow." Fang Yiai handed the sack given to him by Qin Shandao.
"Brother Jiji, Chai Zhewei is trying to win over people again and plans to usurp the throne."
"He hasn't gone back yet?"
"He plans to study in the Imperial College and will not go back."
"Then let him go to Wanhua Pavilion to treat everyone to a drink, then get him drunk and lure him into a striptease."
As soon as these words came out, Wei Shuyu couldn't help but look back.
So sinister?
Why don't you say anything about prostitution and make the other party look embarrassed?
"Big pot, what do you think of this method?"
After receiving Wei Shuyu's gaze, Cui Shenji stepped forward.
"Who taught you this?" Wei Shuyu couldn't help but ask.
"No one teaches me."
Cui Shenji scratched his head: "My father usually does this."
Indeed, like father, like son!
Thinking about it, Wei Shuyu glanced at Fang Yiai again.
Your dad is so simple.
How come I gave birth to a red and green thing like you?
"Brother, do you think I'm handsome?" Fang Yi unfolded the folding fan in a hurry.
boom.
What greeted him was Wei Shuyu's kick.
Hu County.
People come and go, and it’s overcrowded.
Due to the war, Huxian's shipments have increased again!
What is the best money to make?
Of course it’s war money.
Merchants can always use their own resources to obtain money from war.
"Master Wei."
As soon as he arrived in Hu County, Luo Dan came up to him after receiving the news.
Following closely were the bandits from Heifeng Village.
They have always stayed in Hu County and were managed by Luo Dan.
"Has the cement I mentioned before been researched?" Wei Shuyu asked.
Wei Shuyu probably knew a little bit about the cement formula: limestone, clay, iron slag...
As for the proportions, I'm not sure.
So he had already left it to Luo Dan to arrange the matter.
"Reply to Mr. Wei."
Luo Dan replied respectfully: "The cement has been researched and has been poured in the square."
Wei Shuyu nodded.
He continued to walk forward, while Luo Dan lagged half a step behind, following on one side.
When greeted by merchants, Wei Shuyu nodded in greeting.
"After seeing the role of cement, many businessmen want to invest in purchasing the formula..."
Wei Shuyu paused.
The recipe of cement...
If sold alone, he could indeed make a fortune.
But Lao Wei's family is not short of money.
If you have too much money, you will be cheated by Lao Wei.
"Call the merchants."
Wei Shuyu thought for a moment and said, "Tell them I have something to announce."
