"The silk road has reopened."
When the news came from Gaochang, almost the whole western region was a sensation.
Since the Tang Dynasty and Gaochang became enemies, Gaochang has directly blocked the silk road. Hu merchants on the silk road either go home directly or stay in Yanqi, kuci and other countries.
These Hu merchants on the Silk Road who stayed in Yanqi, kuci and other countries are in a dilemma. Most of them come across thousands of miles and return home. Naturally, they are unwilling, but the reopening of the silk road is far away.
Not to mention that Gaochang and Datang are at war again. It's good if Datang wins. If it loses
They were already discouraged and thought that this time the Silk Road did not know how long it would be interrupted, but they did not expect that it would end so soon, and the winning party was Datang.
Hu merchants were overjoyed. However, they often sent people to Gaochang to test. However, Gaochang, which is not stable, has been closed. Now, hearing the news that Gaochang is open and the silk road is reopened, it is natural that everyone cheered and blocked the Silk Road for a year again.
Hu merchants set up camel teams that had been idle for a year, carried heavy bags and goods, dug up their buried treasures, and stepped on the camels to the East. They had only one goal, that is, Datang.
When they arrive at that magical country, there is a beautiful silk with wealth everywhere and weights such as gold. As long as they can get the silk and return smoothly, they can get thousands of times in return and become the superior of their own country. This is also the reason why there are still countless Hu merchants taking risks even though the silk road is dangerous.
Under the yellow sand, the camel bells are melodious! As camel teams appeared in Gaochang City, waves appeared again in the originally dead Gaochang City, and then it became more and more lively. Gaochang City, the Pearl of the Silk Road, once again exuded dazzling brilliance.
"What, hand in your weapons!"
Outside Gaochang City, accompanied by the camel bell, a camel team of dozens of people came to Gaochang city. When they heard that the Tang army was going to turn in their weapons, they cheered one after another. One by one, they held machetes and watched the Tang army guarding outside Gaochang city with vigilance. You know, they met sand thieves and corrupt officials who suck blood more than sand thieves all the way, and finally defended them with their weapons.
"It's impossible? We've been to Gaochang many times and have never been asked to turn in weapons." Baden, the leader of the Hu merchant team, said in a broken Chinese voice.
"That was Gaochang before. Now it belongs to the Tang Dynasty. We should follow the rules of the Tang Dynasty, otherwise Gaochang will be the best end." the Tang army guarding the city smiled coldly and pointed to the wall road not far away.
Baden's leader turned his head and his face changed. He saw that the Gaochang city wall not far away was suddenly missing. Although there were bricklayers repairing the city wall, it was only about two feet high. The five foot high city wall was still three feet short.
"Destroy the city with one blow!" Baden took a deep breath and suddenly remembered the news that shocked the whole western region recently, that is, the Tang army attacked Gaochang city with one blow, and the whole western region was terrified.
Even Gaochang city was destroyed by a blow. Tang Jun never put the machetes in their hands in his eyes. When chin Deng, the leader silently handed over his weapons, and the camel team behind him followed suit.
After Baden took the camel team into Gaochang City, he carefully looked at the post-war Gaochang city. He saw that Gaochang city was in order and the people in Gaochang street came and went. It didn't seem to have changed much, so he was relieved.
What Baden didn't know was that for a long time, this was the result that Tang Jun could keep his hand, which enabled Gaochang city to be preserved. In addition, Gaochang was calmed down in only two wars, and Gaochang was not greatly damaged.
"Shopkeeper, what's the price of Gaochang wine this year?" Baden led the camel team to find a familiar Inn and asked the shopkeeper.
Hu merchants on the Silk Road did not directly carry a kind of goods to Datang, but took enough of their hometown's specialties to sell in the next city. After making profits, they bought a batch of local specialties and transported them to the next city. In this way, they can not only meet their livelihood through continuous profits along the way, but also grow the camel team.
The specialty of Gaochang city is naturally grape wine. This time, Baden came to Gaochang city with the specialty of kuci. He was ready to buy a batch of grape wine to Chang'an City, and finally buy a batch of silk and Datang specialty to return. However, he repeated the sales method, and finally changed all his goods into money and brought them back to his hometown, This is the complete model of the silk road.
"Wine! There is no wine this year!" but the innkeeper shook his head.
"No wine?" Baden was stunned and couldn't believe looking at the innkeeper. He should know that the cargo capacity of the camel team is limited. Most of the selected goods are high-value and easy to carry. Gaochang wine can be sold at a good price when it is transported to Chang'an City, which is a first-class goods.
The innkeeper nodded and said, "yes, this year's grapes have been used by mojiazi to make raisins. There is no wine not only today, but also in the future."
"Raisins! Mojia Zi!" Baden was moved. He wanted to know that after the western region event in Chang'an City, the name of Mojia Zi had already spread all over Chang'an city. He exchanged gold apples of the same size for an apple, and bought all kinds of foreign books at a high price... All western businessmen knew that as long as they could bring what Mojia Zi liked, Getting rich that night is just around the corner.
When leader Baden thought of the treasures he had collected all the way, his heart moved. If he could attract the attention of mojiazi, wouldn't he have to go to Chang'an city again? He stopped caring about wine and asked about mojiazi's whereabouts.
There were not a few Hu merchants who thought the same as Baden. Soon, a group of Hu merchants found the camp of the firearm prison, and the treasures were placed in front of Merton.
"It's all a mess." Merton looked at the treasures in front of him and couldn't help laughing.
"Why don't they all take it away!" Zhang Mu asked.
Merton said reluctantly, "there are still thousands of gold to buy horse bones. All books and seeds are left. Let them sell other treasures in Chang'an city."
"Yes, young master!" Zhang Mu nodded and quickly returned some dazzling treasures, leaving only a few humble books and seeds.
Suddenly, a group of Hu merchants left the treasure in their hands. Only a few books and seeds were bought by Mohist Zi, which made them sad. I think they also collected a lot of seeds, but the silk road has been interrupted for a year and has been broken.
Now, if the Mohists want to get news from the west, they have to rely on these Silk Road businessmen. He naturally pays a lot of money for some books and seeds that Merton knows, and some books and seeds that he has never heard of, which will definitely make Hu Shang's trip worthwhile.
A group of Hu merchants left in disappointment or excitement, and Baden was even more lucky. During the year when the silk road was interrupted, he always gritted his teeth and insisted. Even if he sold out the goods, he didn't give up books and seeds in the end. Now he finally got rich returns.
After a group of Hu merchants left, Merton was satisfied to see rolls of sheepskin rolls and seeds. After a year, the silk road was unblocked again. Even if one of these books and seeds was successfully planted in Datang, his efforts today will be rewarded thousands of times.
While Merton was immersed in his own world, a burst of noise interrupted his thinking. Xue Rengui came in a hurry and said, "Lord sacrifice, the messenger of victory has returned to bring his Majesty's will. The general summoned all the generals to the Chinese army tent."
"Your Majesty's order?" Merton suddenly rose. Now Hu merchants are moving east and Tang Dynasty is moving west. The silk road is completely unblocked without any obstacles.
