To be honest, Yang Qian was still very moved by Xiao Yu's suggestion.
I used to think that this kind of thing about sending envoys to any country and convincing others with words really existed?
When he was very doubtful, Zhang Shao taught him a lesson directly. Xingguo formed an alliance with Xiaguo without spending a single soldier or clan.
Because of this incident, he and Han Jingtong turned against each other and almost died in Xingguo.
I always thought that Han Jingtong was a clown. He had hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, but he was still afraid of a flying monkey running around.
Who would have thought that not only was he not the Sky Monkey, but he was also Sun Wukong, who was preparing to cause trouble in the Heavenly Palace with his entire good situation.
After a lot of time of consultation, the strategic purpose was very simple, which was to first severely damage the powerful family, and then have a good fight with Shang Guo. The premise was that the king could defend Liao Guo from the third level.
On this basis, there can be no chaos in the Liaodong border and no chaos in the Western Regions.
Of course, it would be best if there was no need to fight. Every year, Yang Qian's strength improved almost geometrically. The soldiers were not only a matter of quantity, but also of all aspects, and the most important thing was logistics.
Compared to Shang Guo, a country full of bones, Yang Qian prefers to eat soft food, such as bullying and bullying in the Western Regions.
After all, the various transportation arteries along the Silk Road are still very fragrant.
But there are thirty-six countries in the Western Regions entrenched there. Just the tariffs alone, and the price of items worth tens of dollars can rise to thousands of dollars when sold to distant places.
What makes Yang Qian most intolerable is that he only made a few hundred dollars, and most of the rest was shipping costs and customs duties.
Damn it, if the taxes from these thirty-six countries are added together, Yang Qian’s head will be ripped off. How can this be done? It’s completely robbing himself of money.
The most important thing is that since the trade route was initially opened, Taihuang County has almost made a fortune from the spices traded from Shendu.
But exactly how much he can earn, because of Fujiko Jin's capture, Tian Zong hasn't made the bill yet, but it doesn't matter, he is only responsible for collecting taxes.
The ones who make the most money are the merchants or the scholar-bureaucrat families behind them.
Yang Qian was also curious about what spices they were.
It's just that the trade route has just been opened up, and many goods are traded in a small area. Even if they are traded in a small area, domestic merchants and foreign merchants are chasing after them like sharks smelling the smell of blood.
Yang Qian has never worried about financial problems. Now, if he wants to do business, he can make money as long as he has a way.
If you earn more, I will naturally collect more taxes, and the tax rate is not low. It means that any caravan that passes through Yuntong County will be skinned by Yang Gan.
As a result, all the caravans passing through Yuntong County were working for Yang Gan in disguise, so his wealth was not only not lost during the war, but actually increased.
The more money you have, you can not only open more banks, but also build bridges and roads. With the development of transportation, the number of caravans begins to increase again, thus forming a not particularly perfect cycle.
At a certain time every year, Yang Gan would give out an interest-free loan on a first-come, first-served basis, almost all to tenant farmers who did not have cattle or iron farm tools.
The main reason is that Yang Qian has been greatly influenced by the thinking of his previous life. In his opinion, money will depreciate if left alone, and only by throwing it away can the income be increased.
But in ancient times, in a relatively stable environment, as long as prices did not collapse instantly, the value of coins rarely fluctuated greatly.
Naturally, the value of money will be relatively stable. Let alone depreciation, if you can achieve prosperity, the value of the currency itself may also increase in value.
Yang Gan shook his head to get rid of some random thoughts.
Seeing that Yang Qian didn't speak, Xiao Yu suggested again.
"Actually, it is not easy to kill Han Jingtong, because after Fei Lian escaped with Mr. Xinping last time, Han Jingtong didn't know why. Not only did he increase the number of guards, but except for some necessary arrangements, he almost never left the door. No step."
Yang Gan glanced at Xiao Yu.
"If you don't care about Anzi's life, can you kill this beetle?"
"If we force our way in, no matter how many people come, no matter whether we can complete the mission or not, I'm afraid they won't be able to escape!"
After weighing the pros and cons, Yang Gan let out a long sigh. It had to be said that when he knew that assassinating Han Jingtong would require a high price, he gave up decisively.
I don't know what's going on, but when he gave up the assassination for the time being, Yang Qian was actually secretly happy.
In fact, there is basically no hatred between the two. On the contrary, they both admired each other very much when they first met.
Yang Qian appreciated that Han Jingtong was a Legalist student who had achieved great success in Dharma and martial arts.
Han Jingtong admired Yang Qian's concept of unification. Of course, he admired it. If he really wanted to unify the world, how would he use it?
Han Jingtong felt that it would be good for Liao to dominate the world.
I have to say that sometimes smart people are just smart people. Such people have nothing more than two ideas. Why can your country be unified in the world, but my country can't?
Another thought is that your idea is very good and I appreciate it. I praise you in person and in my heart, but if you want to touch my country, I'm sorry, but we are enemies.
Typically, the knife is not placed on the neck, and one does not know the horror of death.
Yang Gan has always wanted to see the outside world and see the world, but the back garden is not peaceful, who dares to go out? If I go out for a while, I plan to come back and have a good rest.
When I got home, I thought, Damn it, the crystal was stolen. Damn, who are you crying about?
Therefore, before fighting against external forces, one must first settle within. This is an eternal truth.
"What the hell, Xiao Yu, please keep an eye on them. It's already half a month since the autumn harvest. When will they attack? If they don't attack, the weather will get colder in more than two months, and the rain will fall in a little while. Snow, I don’t believe they dare to fight in winter.”
At this time, Zhao Wenmo reminded him.
"Although Shangguo doesn't have enough food, it has a lot of money and a lot of people doing business. Therefore, although the soldiers' armor and winter clothes are not many, they are still enough to equip the elite."
Hearing this sentence, Yang Qian was speechless. Shang Guo's development technology tree was completely bent.
Just like Plants vs. Zombies, when there is sunshine, you must first create sunflowers.
Good guy, I agree that you made Peashooter at the beginning, but you keep making offensive weapons, and Sunflower is still the one at the beginning.
How can one sunflower provide all the nutrients a plant needs? In the end, the bearded man will definitely be eaten by the zombies and the pig's brains will be eaten.
Yang Qian was silent for a while, twisted his neck and waved his hands.
"Forget it, let's not think about it. We are all exhausted. Yu'er, Mu Qing, and Wenmo, you three will focus on monitoring Shangguo, the Western Regions, the Xianbei people and the clan."
"If any party has a problem, come directly to me."
"good!"
Yang Gan stretched his waist, hugged Zhang Yumeng and walked towards the room.
The girls immediately followed.
Regardless of whether the girls were chatting or doing anything else, he, Mu Qing, and Zhao Wenmo fell into a deep sleep again.
This past month has been really tiring.
Wu Cao, how did ancient people plan things? Yang Qian already felt that he was very awesome, but it was too difficult to plan a class of civil strife.
The relationship between the two parties is completely wrong and complicated. It is almost like you are in me and I am in you.
Fortunately, this idiot of the Wang family actually fell into the trap. As long as the number one member of the family bites people, everyone will be in danger, and these gangsters will no longer have time to pay attention to themselves.
I can live a small life comfortably again.
The next day.
Yang Qian slept very comfortably. He got up early, washed himself, and began to exercise his muscles and bones for the first time, although he stopped for a while.
But when he has some free time, Yang Qian will never give up on exercising his body.
After resting his body, Yang Qian knew that Fujiko Jin had been back for a while, and he had only said hello in a hurry recently and ignored him.
Now that I have time, I immediately asked Fujiko Jin and his brother to come over, have a meal, and get in touch with each other.
now that
Invited Fujiko Jin, Fujiko Yun.
Then Fei Lian also called over, and Ran Jing was also there recently, and had not been sent out yet, so he called the couple by the way.
After all, it is still necessary to connect emotionally.
As soon as Fujiko Jin arrived, the two instantly became familiar with each other, and the atmosphere was very good. Ran Jing still looked respectful, but after Yang Gan complained a few words, he gradually let go.
I just don’t know why, but Zhou Zhiyu’s eyes looked at him very strangely, with a faint green light.
"Zijin, you are turning black."
Fujiko Susumu still has the same cheerful expression, but he has become a little more diplomatic.
"It's not bad, that place in the Western Region is full of Gobi desert, sand, and the sun is very poisonous."
Yang Gan patted him on the shoulder, "The body is quite thick, good. A good body is really good."
"Come on, come on, don't be polite, let's eat and drink well today."
As soon as this meal was eaten, an hour passed.
After dinner, everyone did not sit behind the desk and talk a few meters apart like scholar-bureaucrats. Instead, they found people they knew well and sat together.
Like Yang Qian, he was sitting with Fujiko Jin on the balcony, smoking cigarettes with each other.
Yang Qian listened attentively, and Fujiko Jin described what he saw and heard in the process of doing business.
There are some things that even Yang Qian has never heard of.
Fujiko Jin has a more out-of-the-box personality. When he likes to talk about mountains and rivers, he does it himself.
Yang Qian not only listened attentively, but sometimes also said one or two words and praised one or two words, which gave Fujiko Jin a great sense of satisfaction.
But when he said that he was captured, Fujiko Jin fell silent.
Those who have not experienced the feeling of being in a state of constant panic and fear when one's life is in someone else's hands simply cannot empathize with it.
Yang Gan patted him on the shoulder, his face full of solemnity.
"The person who kidnapped you is already dead. Those people belong to the Jingjue Kingdom. If you want revenge, how about I destroy the Jingjue Kingdom directly for you?"
Yang Gan's face was full of grandeur, and his words were not polite. With such a small population, if Tian Zong hadn't been concerned about the situation in the Western Region, Tian Zong could have wiped them out in minutes.
The biggest difficulty is nothing more than the logistical supply pressure during the long journey.
Other logistical supplies are almost all canned food, grain, grass and medicine.
But Tian Zong had already investigated the fight against the vassal states in the Western Regions. What was needed was a thorough understanding of the terrain and the transportation of fresh water.
