Chapter four hundred and ninety-ninth room
"Master."
"Changyuan doesn't have to be too polite."
Chen Guang smiled and supported Li Mi who wanted to pay homage. He didn't expect Li Longji to give him such a reward. Not only did he allow him to build a mansion, but the Ye Army expanded to 25,000 people, but he also directly sent Li Mi to the army as his chief.
Li Mi didn't know what happened in Chang'an City, and there was such a big change, but the saint's order was hard to surround him. Besides, he admired Chen Guang, so the chief minister was willing to accept it, but he felt a little sorry for the prince.
"Come on, Changyuan, let's sit down and talk slowly."
Chen Guangshuo Ye Jun's old team was still on the way back to the court, but the messenger said that Gao Xianzhi had already rushed to Liangzhou at night, and he would see the old boss in a few days.
The reward Li Longji gave him was extremely heavy, even far beyond his imagination. Therefore, Chen Guang suspected that Gao Xianzhi would achieve his long-cherished wish and was summoned by Li Longji to become the prime minister. Even if the prime minister was just acting, it was enough to make the generals of the border town envious.
In the study, Guo Ziyi and An Chongzhang were also sitting with Li Mi. For Chen Guang, Guo Ziyi must be the second-ranking figure of the future Ye Jun and acted as his deputy. An Chongzhang was the representative of the Liangzhou family and was worthy of being his confidant, so he did not plan to give him some things to the rich subordinate who offered three thousand good horses.
"The saints have the will of Tao. Neither the chief executive nor me revealed it to the outside world. Remember not to be envious after hearing it."
Chen Guang said to the three of them that Wang Zhongsi, the father-in-law, had nothing to say to him, but he would have to go to the front desk for the next battle in Shibao City.
Guo Ziyi, Li Mi and An Chongzhang all looked at Chen Guang with a serious expression, not knowing what was the will to make the lord so cautious.
"In the Battle of Stone Castle City, the saint planned to send the prince to supervise the army. I think the prince will leave after the beginning of spring."
As Chen Guang said, the three of them were stunned. Although the Tang Dynasty had the tradition of a royal prince leading troops, the prince went to the front line to supervise the army, but there was unprecedented things, especially Li Mi. He was even more frightened when he saw that the prince had been almost forced to a dead end by Li Linfu because of "making friends with border generals".
"The lord, the prince is the foundation of the country, how can we easily come to the four battles of the border and the world?"
Li Mi was a child prodigy since childhood. When he was young, he was praised by Zhang Jiuling. At that time, people thought that he would definitely be the prime minister in the future. As a result, he was ordered by the saint to go to Taoist temple to study and cultivate one's own character. As a result, who would still remember that he, the so-called child prodigy, was already lost in the public when he came out of the mountain again.
When Li Mi was the leader of the prince, he knew that the saints today were full of suspicion. Who knew whether the saint asked the prince to supervise the army on a whim? If someone slandered that the prince colluded with the general manager of the king, it would be difficult to guarantee that the saint would not believe it easily. Wouldn't that be a huge disaster at that time?
Although Guo Ziyi and An Chongzhang were warriors, they also understood the importance of this matter. However, they did not dare to express their opinions rashly, but their expressions were not much better than Li Mi. It was because the Tian family had always been "kind and filial to their father, friendly and respectful brothers, and deep affection between mother and son!"
Nearly forty years before the saint ascended the throne of Yuyu, any change in the position of the prince either caused blood to flow into a river in Chang'an City or the Dongdu cried thousands of families at night.
"The chief executive has written to the court and asked the saint to take back his life because of the fierce battle."'
Chen Guang said this, Li Longji's thoughts were hard to figure out. He didn't know whether this order was to test his father-in-law, but he was unwilling to Li Heng to come to Liangzhou to cause chaos. Although the Anshi Rebellion in history was due to Li Longji's stupidity in his later years, it was not to the point of completely shaking the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. It was still Li Heng who took the blame.
"Does the lord have that?"
Among the three, only Li Mi knew the relationship between Chen Guang and the saint prince. He was afraid that the lord would make a mistake, so he rashly wrote a letter to advise him.
"I am not familiar with the prince, so how dare I write to me easily? I just signed the memorial of the chief executive."
Hearing Chen Guang's answer, Li Mi couldn't help but sigh. If he hadn't known the inside story, he would have thought that the lord would have no idea about the saint and prince.
"You just need to know about the matter of the Prince Supervisor, and you don't have to take it too seriously."
"The next thing we have to do is to rectify the merchants in the west and then use the room!"
"Use room?"
All three of them were familiar with military books, so they naturally knew that in the art of military affairs, they were a science, but they could not connect the rectification of the merchants in the western market with the Chinese.
"This was discussed by the chief executive and I. The court intends to change the tax law and imposes heavy taxes on Hu Shang, so I asked Brother Guo to pretend to be a wealthy businessman in Dongdu and run the industry of Jingdong Shopping Mall. Now the Hu Shang in the city is only left to surrender..."
Speaking of this, Wang Zhongsi proposed this matter. This Yulin General, who was also the governor of the four towns, was famous in Hexi for his bravery and courage to fight to the death. Even the traitor generals were frightened when they heard the name of Wang Caizi.
However, when Wang Zhongsi took charge of the army and left the town, he was cautious in using troops and liked to deal with the enemy with economic means. When he was in Shuofang Town, he used high prices to buy horses and purchased a large number of war horses for several years. This not only enriched the cavalry's armament, but also weakened the opponent's war potential in disguise. Later, he went out of the frontier with one blow and won the entire victory.
Now that Wang Zhongsi saw the Hu merchants in the city torment to death, his mind became alive. He felt that this was a great opportunity to use it. The court forced heavy taxes to force the Hu merchants to join the thieves. Isn’t that a matter of right?
At that time, the two countries will be in a national war, and with the national strength of Tubo, they will not be able to support the huge military supplies. They will inevitably accept those Hu merchants who brought a large amount of food, grass and materials to join. Wang Zhongsi did not need these Hu merchants to get the trust of the thieves, as long as they could control the movements of the thieves and know the reality.
After hearing Chen Guang talk about the reasons, Li Mi and the other two looked at each other. It is indeed feasible to use Hu merchants in the West City to make detailed rooms.
"Master, this is a good strategy, but most of the Hu merchants are those who forget their lives when they see small profits and do big things but cherish their lives. If they reveal their strength to the thief..."
Li Mi is not an exaggeration. Most of the Hus and merchants in Wuwei City are Sogdian Hus. These people are good at doing business, but it is not very reliable to ask them to face the cruel thief to be a dead dead if exposed.
"So, this time, you need to use nine truths and one false to win the trust of the thieves. What do you think of Ban Yuanli?"
Chen Guang said, and now Li Mi and the other two frowned. They originally thought that Ban Yuanli was the most jumping monkey used by the lord to "kill monkeys to warn chickens", but they didn't expect that the monkey would have a chance to turn over.
"Ban Yuanli has always been ambitious. If the Lord gave him enough benefits, there might be a way to make him die."
An Chongzhang said in a deep voice. Ban's family was still their An's subordinate, but Ban Yuanli offended the Lord this time without knowing that he had long regarded him as an abandoned son. Now it seems that the Lord is probably planning something long ago.
"Master, this is still too risky."
