"The Protector, the Guizhou Army across the way has already built in the buffer zone between us... what kind of Saibidi core commercial street!"
Hou Junji rolled his eyes at the spy who came to report. He had been upset these past few days.
After returning that day, he checked along the unknown village, and he found a lot of clues.
There is actually a hidden force under his Beiyan Protectorate that has been doing things secretly.
Some of the original unsolved cases, or matters that have been finalized, have actually led to new discoveries.
There are shadows of hidden forces behind them.
Even the Tubo people who came to me last time to buy new equipment from the Tang Dynasty, which resulted in me having to separate one side from another, had the shadow of that force behind them.
He really didn't expect that when he was hunting geese all day long, his eyes would be pecked by the geese.
Hou Junji is not a mother-in-law, and he has no regrets about today's situation.
It's just that there are others behind this who are adding fuel to the fire, which makes him a little unhappy.
"Okay, okay, just keep an eye on it. As long as it's really about building a market, then don't pay any attention to it."
The relationship between the two armies is now delicate, and Hou Junji agreed to Tang Ping that day, so naturally he will not go back on these small things.
In his opinion, he is not a good person, but this Tang Ping is just a guy with strong businessman spirit, who knows how to make money day by day.
He was already the richest man in the Tang Dynasty, and he still didn't forget to come to his battle to search for oil and water.
Huh, but although I promised him that he could build a market and said that he would allow his soldiers to go there, he didn't say how many.
At that time, as long as I give the order, I can only go to one team every day. Then how can there be business in such a big commercial street like Tang Ping?
If he builds such a large area, he will definitely have a lot of goods coming in. When the time comes, no one will buy it, and it will be a big loss for him!
Naturally, Tang Ping didn't know that Hou Junji was still harboring evil thoughts, but even if he knew, he wouldn't worry.
Not to mention Hou Junji sending a team over every day, even if he didn't send people over, he would still work on this commercial street.
"Hurry up, hurry up, seal the ceiling here, don't let it snow in a few days, and the snow will pour in."
Tang Ping led his people to personally command. This Guizhou is located on the border. In addition to being connected to the Beiyan Protectorate, there are several small countries in the northeast not far away. There are many people from Fuyu, Silla, Goguryeo and other countries.
In addition, there were more than 200,000 troops on both sides, so Tang Ping made the market very large.
"Cousin, can you make money back by building such a big...d commercial street here?"
The person asking the question was Li Tai. The last time Tang Ping met him in Chang'an, he had asked him for a lot of things. This time, he personally escorted him here with what Tang Ping wanted.
"Well... there is a high probability that you won't be able to make it back in the short term."
"Then why do you need to practice this?" Li Tai didn't understand. All his talents were focused on physical transformation. He really knew everything about business matters and knew nothing about it!
"Tai, you have to know that the most awesome thing about war since ancient times is to defeat the enemy without fighting. We don't want to directly attack the Beiyan Protectorate, but we can't keep them forever, so the best The way is to let them surrender themselves."
"Surrender yourself? What does this... have to do with your commercial street?"
"You know the story of being besieged on all sides, right?"
"Of course I know!" Li Tai nodded: "It is recorded in "Historical Records of Xiang Yu": King Xiang's army was crouching on the wall, with only a few soldiers to eat, and the Han army and the princes were surrounded by many soldiers. At night, I heard that the Han army was besieged on all sides. King Xiang was shocked and said: "Have all the Han conquered Chu? How many people are there in Chu?"
Tang Ping rubbed his head. Li Tai was so eloquent and enviable.
"Yes, since you know this story, you should understand Xiang Yu's situation at that time."
"So, my cousin built this commercial street to make everyone sing Chu songs and force Hou Junji to surrender?"
Tang Ping had a dark look on his face. This is a commercial street, not a place for a concert, and
Singing Chu songs to Hou Junji is of no use.
But for a moment, he didn't know how to explain it to this guy Li Tai, so he could only say: "If you have nothing to do, just stay here for a few days and just watch."
"Okay!" Li Tai nodded: "It's just enough to improve the artillery on Guizhou City. Cousin only needs enough coffee pipes."
This guy is an anomaly. He doesn't like to drink tea, but he likes to drink that kind of bitter American coffee to refresh himself.
In Tang Ping's opinion, there was no difference between the taste of that kind of coffee and traditional Chinese medicine, and he couldn't drink it anyway.
In order to meet the construction deadline, even lunch was eaten on the construction site.
Tang Ping didn't show any pretense, he just grabbed a meal and found a place to squat down to eat.
"Pingguo Gong!"
Yuzhu originally found a place to squat down to eat, but there was another person squatting next to him. He didn't pay much attention at first and just glanced at it casually.
As a result, this glance made him so frightened that he almost dropped the rice bowl in his hand.
He didn't know what to do now while holding the rice bowl.
"It's okay, it's okay, you eat what you have!" Tang Ping was really hungry. He took a big mouthful of food in his mouth and muttered, "The braised pork this time was pretty good. How was it? Do you think it's delicious?"
"Gudong!" Yuzhu couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva when he saw Tang Ping eating so deliciously.
Seeing that Tang Ping didn't have any airs, he squatted down carefully again and said, "I haven't eaten the pot roast today, but I've eaten well in the past few days. I've never had such good food at home!"
This is true, Yuzhu may not have as good a meal as these days during the Chinese New Year.
As for him being a member of the Turkic army, why did he appear here?
That's because Tang Ping knew that there were many civilians in this Turkic army, and many of them had some construction skills.
So he directly posted a recruitment notice in the military camp. As long as he has a skill and is willing to come, he can get an extra salary in addition to the military salary.
This not only saves Tang Ping the trouble of recruiting craftsmen in Guizhou City, but also gives these "fake" soldiers an extra income for the Turkic people. Why not?
"What did you do in the past? I take it you are Han, right?" Tang Ping asked casually while eating. Since you came here to work, you must not be a soldier.
"The younger one is a Han. He married a wife in the Turks and stayed here." Yuzhu also gradually relaxed: "The younger one used to be a clerk in a trading company. He knew some clay craftsmanship. In those days, if there was a leak in the trading house, Or if there is anything that needs to be repaired, it’s all done by the little ones.”
"Hey, sure, I even married a Turkic daughter-in-law!" This kind of ethnic integration is what Tang Ping wants to see. After all, the Turks have surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and there will be no problems if Gu Xiaotang becomes Khan, but what about in the future?
Only when they intermarry with the Han people and are influenced and absorbed by the culture of the Han people, will they eventually become members of the flower-growing family. At that time, they will no longer worry about the issue of being Turkic or not.
