Chapter 675

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui had not gone out of the palace, but they were invited back to the Lizheng Palace by the internal servants. Dai Zhou, the Minister of the Ministry of the people, was also summoned.

Li Er asked everyone to take a seat and said with a smile, "gentlemen, Ziyou, you have a new idea. I want to hear your opinions."

Li Qieyou repeated what he had said to Li Er before, but his eyes lit up when he heard several big men.

But after thinking for a moment, they shook their heads again.

Fang Xuanling said, "Your Majesty, Ziyou's idea is really good. But Dunhuang county has a long way to go. It's not easy to transport goods there. Your majesty, do you know how many caravans come and go in Chang'an city every day? Ziyou's idea is almost equivalent to moving all the West City to Dunhuang county. How can you do that?"

Du Ruhui also slowly opened his mouth and said, "Ziyou's idea is good, that is, how to operate, but it's a problem."

"What Duke Fang and Duke Du said is very true. If you want to take Dunhuang County as a trade center facing the western regions, you can earn huge profits, but you need to invest a lot of copper money in chaotang. This is not a small amount." Dai Zhou, the Minister of civil affairs, shook his head and sighed.

As Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Dai Zhou said, there is nothing wrong.

There are many caravans in Chang'an city every day. This is the starting point of the silk road. If we want to move the transactions between Hu merchants in the western regions and Tang merchants to Dunhuang County, it is almost equivalent to moving a western market.

So many commodities were bought by chaotang and then transported to Dunhuang County for sale to Hu merchants. The copper money needed was too large and very difficult to operate.

Li forgot to worry and smiled: "Uncle and gentlemen, you are mistaken. In fact, you don't need to invest too much in it. All you need is for chaotang to issue a decree to open a trade center in Dunhuang County, and then arrange the government soldiers to clear the bandits along the road, and then chaotang will cooperate with the merchants. They still do the business, but chaotang is responsible for helping them transport. The extra profits will be made by chaotang and that In this way, those merchants can make more profits, and chaotang can get rich returns without a lot of investment. Why not? "

Hearing the speech, Li Er was quite surprised: "how many cars and horses does it take to transfer so many goods between Dunhuang and Chang'an?"

"Uncle, the Imperial Hall can take this opportunity to expand the army's baggage. This is the best of both worlds. On weekdays, the army's baggage carries goods for those merchants and earns rich returns for the Imperial Hall. But once there is a change in the western region, uncle, what role can those baggage soldiers play? Hundreds of thousands of troops and logistical supplies come in a flash, can the western region be firmly controlled by me Is Datang in his hands? "

Li forgot to worry again and said, "my nephew thinks that we can set up another army besides the 22 forbidden armies, which can be called the transporter. Uncle and Duke, think about it. If there are tens of thousands of transporters in the Tang Dynasty, driving the four-wheel carriages and galloping around the Tang Dynasty every day to transport goods, it would be spectacular."

Li Qieyou continued to explain that his plan was to use four-wheel carriages to vigorously expand the logistics and transportation forces of the Tang army.

The territory of the Tang Dynasty is extremely broad, but due to the relationship of transportation, in fact, the vast majority of the territory has not been effectively developed and utilized.

Especially in the western regions.

China has fought since ancient times. In fact, it is logistics.

As the saying goes, before soldiers and horses move, food and grass go first. It is easy to transport food and grass from the rear to the front line for hundreds or even thousands of miles. We can imagine the difficulties.

Li forgets that he saw an advertisement of China UnionPay, "the last transfer of Mobei in Datang" before crossing.

Although it was just an advertisement, countless people cried. Li forgetful was also moved by it at that time.

The background of the advertisement is that after the an Shi rebellion, the Tang soldiers stationed in the anxidu protectorate were isolated from Chang'an.

Historically, in 790 ad, the northern court of Anxi was attacked by Tubo. Most of them protected Li Yuanzhong and fought to the death. Without being in the array, all the 7000 Tang troops died

Since then, only Anxi Du's protectors have been left in the western regions.

Messengers were sent again and again, and there was no news again and again.

In 808 ad, the last base of Anxi's four towns was guici Xizhou city.

Outside the city, there are yellow sand all over the sky and Hu Qi who can't see the end

The advertisement for the last transfer of Mobei in the Tang Dynasty tells the story of countless people who sacrificed to send military funds to the Tang army stationed in Xizhou city.

It can also be seen how important logistical supplies were for the Tang army.

The last song of the advertisement, "the moon in the Qin Dynasty, the moon in the Han Dynasty, and the people on the long march have not yet returned; but the flying generals of the dragon city are here, and they do not teach Hu Ma to ride the Yinshan Mountain. Qinghai is a long cloud and dark snow mountain, and the lonely city looks at Yumen pass in the distance; the yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and will not return until it breaks the Loulan". What a desolate sunset elegy

The reason why Li Qieyou proposed to open a trade center in Dunhuang county and set up a transport force is that he secretly hopes that the scene of helpless troops in history will never, never... Never happen on the land of Datang.

After listening to Li's analysis, Li Er, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui looked at each other and nodded approvingly.

"Ziyou's method is worth discussing. Your majesty, if Ziyou's transport soldiers can help merchants transport goods in peacetime and quickly transport troops, horses and supplies in wartime, it's really not a wonderful move." Fang Xuanling nodded and praised.

Du Ruhui and Dai Zhou both nodded in recognition. However, the specific operation needs to be discussed by the ministers.

Only lazy people like Li forget worry will not participate in such specific affairs. He just lights the fire. How to burn the fire is not his business.

In short, as long as the trading center of Dunhuang county is established with the transporter, it will benefit the Tang Dynasty without harm.

Of course, it's not unhelpful for him to forget his worries. At least the goods sold by his family's industries can increase profits several times when they are transported to Dunhuang county. This is not a small sum of money.

Of course, this matter is not urgent.

At least the court officials have to discuss it in detail and come up with specific plans before they can implement it.

Li forgot to worry. Seeing that he had nothing to do with himself, he first said goodbye to Li Er and left the palace.

He went to the Shangyao Bureau in the imperial city to see Bai Mo Peng. Seeing that he was in good condition, he was in a good mood.

Good words comforted Bai Mo, and Li forgot his worries before he left the imperial city and was ready to go back to his house.

He wasted a lot of time in the palace. At this time, the sun was west. Li forgot to worry and didn't bother to go back to Dingzhou village. He planned to stay in kaihuafang residence for one night and return to Huxian tomorrow.

His house in kaihuafang is next door to Jianfu temple.

Jianfu temple is also a big temple in Chang'an city. There are more than 200 monks, and incense is kept every day.

Li forgets worry. Naturally, he doesn't believe in any god Buddha. Although he inexplicably crossed the Tang Dynasty, he still doesn't think this is the reason for any god Buddha.

In his speculation with his beautiful boss, he prefers to believe in space-time tunnels rather than gods and Buddhas.

Therefore, although his house is next to Jianfu temple, Li forget worry has never entered this famous Chang'an temple.

When Li forgot to worry about riding on his horse and slowly passed by the gate of Jianfu temple, he caught a glimpse of a figure from the corner of his eye, but he was stunned
