Chapter 723 Gold is everywhere

Five years of Zhenguan.

Just after the lively Dragon Boat Festival, Sun Wuji, Kaifu Yitong Sansi, Situ, Minister of Personnel, and Chairman of Pingzhang, led the general manager of Tianshan Road to accept the Three Chen Banners awarded by the emperor to the Western Expedition.

The emperor drew an elite cavalry of 3,000 people from the imperial guards in the north and south of Chang'an to hand it over to Changsun, Yulin Camp, Luben Army, Qianqi Camp, and a group of three guards' attendants from the children of the Qianniu Guards. This was a luxurious team.

When they left Beijing, they all specially wore shiny bright light armor, black light armor and other iron armor, and scarlet silk cloaks were tied behind them.

A civil official like the company commander Sun Wuji, today he rarely wore a set of imperial gold armor, which looked very majestic.

"I'm going thousands of miles to the Western Regions, I wish you a happy journey to success!"

Changsun felt that dozens of kilograms of armor were a bit heavy on his body, especially the Dragon Boat Festival had passed. Although the sun had not yet come out in the morning, he felt a little bored and uncomfortable. The fat Changsun felt sweat all over his body.

"I have always fought with the saints before, but I have never been so serious in my armor. I'm really not used to it."

"After leaving Chang'an, Mr. Changsun can take off his armor and go on a car." Qin Lang comforted Changsun Wuji, saying that he was commanding the army and taking charge of the conquest, but it was estimated that if Changsun Wuji went to the Western Regions, he was afraid that the war would have ended there. This time, Changsun went to the Western Regions, his real task was not to fight a war, but to rebuild the pattern of the Western Regions.

In this regard, Changsun Wuji is a master. He has the inheritance of his father's talent. During the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui, Changsun Sheng was a diplomatic expert in dealing with the Turks. He went on several missions to the Turks, and used his perfection to attack the weak and the strong, which made the Turks very powerful.

Although Changsun Wuji does not have the ability to kill two birds with one stone, he is full of bad things and is beyond his predecessor.

"Sanlang is in the court, take good care of the prince."

"Donald Zhao arrives in the Western Regions, beware of the Hou Junji!"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

The two of them gathered together, and finally spoke secretly for a while, crossed their hands and said goodbye. No one knew what the two said, but it must be a top secret.

Qin Lang bid farewell to Changsun Wuji and walked straight to find Su Dingfang.

"Xie Sanlang strongly recommends me this time!" Su Dingfang was wearing black light armor, very majestic.

"Actually, with your ability, being the leader is enough. It's a prying talent to be the only one who is the left pioneer."

Su Dingfang was quite satisfied. He could be said to be a marginal faction in the court. As Dou Jiande's command, he later followed Liu Heita to rebel against the Tang Dynasty twice. He only officially returned to the Tang Dynasty in the ninth year of Wude. Under normal circumstances, he could not even enter Chang'an City.

It was also thanks to the support of Qin Lang, the noble man, that he had the opportunity to sit in the Zhenguan court in these few years. Although he had already obtained the position of the Left Guard of the Procuratorate and made considerable contributions to the Northern Expedition of the Turks and the Battle of Longyou, his background restricted him.

If it weren't for Qin Lang, he wouldn't even have a chance to be a pioneer, let alone a deputy general manager or general manager.

"I have won the opportunity for you, but it depends on your performance. Mr. Changsun is in charge, but he is not good at military affairs, so you have to rely on you in this regard. If you perform well, if you get appreciated by him, you will have more opportunities in the future."

"It's enough for me to get Sanro's praise."

Although Su Dingfang was only in his thirties, he had been fighting with his father in his teens. His more than ten years of experience in the battlefield made him not stupid. Although Changsun Wuji had a high status, it was enough for him to have the relationship between Qin Lang. If he wanted to step on two boats, this was undoubtedly the stupidest way. Even if Changsun and Qin Lang were allies, it was still a big taboo.

Qin Lang smiled.

Only such smart people can cooperate for a long time and deserve the effort to support them.

"When I arrived in the Western Regions, I saw Lao Cheng and told me that I would like to ask you. I also met Xi Jun Mai Liang Jianfang and other old brothers. I also asked my wishes together and said I miss them."

The Yulin Langs are all young brave men selected among the soldiers in the world. They teach the emperor the martial arts hall students. Qin Lang is also the instructor of the martial arts hall, and these young people are also his students.

This time the emperor sent his beloved students to give them some opportunities to experience. The Yulin Lang was all very upset. When they met Qin Lang, they saluted and greeted him.

Qin Lang laughed and scolded them, wishing them a bright future.

Among the people who went to the battle, there was another student, and his brother, who was the second-in-command in Laiji. In the first year of Zhenguan, Qin Qiong's old boss, Duke Rong, came to protect his son.

Lai Heng is now the sixth rank in the Zhengshi Hall card room.

Lai Ji worked in the Ministry of War. This time he asked Qin Lang to take the initiative to go to the Western Regions with Changsun Wuji. Qin Lang admired his courage and supported his actions. Going to the Western Regions to experience is also a gilded person. After returning, this can become a very valuable qualification.

He came to Ji and became the secretary room of the Changsun General Office to join the army.

"When you arrive in the Western Regions, be careful!"

Qin Lang specially sent four family soldiers to Laiji to escort.

"I hope that after destroying Siye Hu Khan this time, the court will be able to open the five governors' offices in the Western Regions as I wish. At that time, I want to stay in the Anxi Grand Protectorate and truly experience there, just like Ban Dingyuan and the others during the Han Dynasty!"

"Good ambition, if you really have this opportunity, I will help you!"

Qin Lang likes this kind of scholarly spirit, bold and romantic. Among the poets of the Tang Dynasty, there are many frontier poets, the most romantic and the poems written are the most heroic. This is what Qin Lang likes more than the poets of the Song Dynasty.

Li Yu, the late emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, could only write about when the spring flowers and autumn moons were like this, or when the golden wind and jade dew met in Qin Guan, they could not write about the bright moon in the Qin Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, and people who had not returned such a poem, or if the yellow sand battles were fighting in hundreds of battles, they would never stop until Loulan was defeated.

It was only in the Southern Song Dynasty that heroes like Yue Fei could write heroic poems like Man Jianghong, or Xin Qiji, Lu You and the others could write passionate poems.

"The morning rain in Weicheng is light dust, and the green willows in the guest house are fresh.

I advise you to drink another glass of wine and go west to Yangguan without any friends!"

Qin Lang recited a poem casually to see him off!

"Good poem!" Lai Ji's eyes were shiny and he was amazed. "I haven't seen the teacher's poems come out for a long time. I didn't expect that the teacher would be able to give such a good poem to you today. Thank you!"

Laiji and the three thousand elite cavalry left Chang'an with Changsun Wuji and headed for the Western Regions. There would be 20,000 soldiers along the way to join. At the same time, many foreign troops would also join in Tuyuhu, Dangxiang, Shuofang, Monan and other places, and they would also join in the imperial edict of the Khan of Tian to attack Siye Hu.

The men of the Tang Dynasty were always so majestic and heroic. Even the nobles and nobles were rushing to go out to war, seeking military merits. No one was afraid of war, and the people yearned for going out to war.

These three thousand men who went on the war may have fewer than hundreds of people when they returned, but no one is afraid of them.

This is the heroic spirit of the Han and Tang dynasties.

It is also an expression of the martial spirit of the Han and Tang courts under the idea of ​​military expansion. Some people later said that this was a military and military state, but Qin Lang still thought that in an era like the Han and Tang dynasties, this was a kind of enlargement that deserves praise.

This aspect is an unmatched place in the Song Dynasty.

When I got home, I saw Ah Huang sitting in the front yard bragging and chatting with a group of people. Now I am a founding uncle with a silverfish talisman hanging on him. But I didn't return overnight. Ah Huang, who had spent dozens of minutes to drink wine all night, could still hold a cup of strong tea and talk nonsense there without any hindrance.

Qin Lang did not disturb him, but leaned against the side and listened for a while. The guy was inciting a group of old men in the mansion to settle in Annan, saying that there were all kinds of benefits there.

Once you pass, you can divide the land and give birth to land, be a bachelor here, and get married immediately when you get there. You can marry a wife without a lot of brides, or even get a 28-year-old lady without spending money, and you can also take a few more barbarian women without spending money.

The yield of growing cotton and sugarcane is high. The rice can be ripened twice or even three times a year. It doesn’t need to be managed anyway. It’s higher than Guanzhong’s yield. During the slack farming period, you can also work at workshops, wharves, and mines to make money, and it’s real money.

"Do you know, you can earn at least one hundred yuan a day when working there!"

"so much?"

The main ones around Ah Huang are a group of grooms and coachmen in the mansion to protect the house. It is not easy to live in Chang'an. In recent years, Chang'an City has become increasingly prosperous and consumption levels have surged. Although prices have actually dropped even more than in the years when they were founded, they are still much higher than in other places.

Now Chang'an can be called a middle-class family. If there are 100 trump cards for the family, there are 100 trump cards. If there are 100 trump cards, then they can be called a rich family. If there are 100 trump cards, they are rich. Of course, because in recent years, the industry and commerce have been promoted, there are actually many top rich people with more than 100 trump cards in Chang'an City. However, these people are generally closely related to the relatives of famous noble families and noble families. For example, a few days ago, Jingzhao Mansion just handled a usury case. A businessman named Zou in Beijing operates a cabinet shop and secretly operates usury.

The interest rate is extremely high, and a large number of people were hired to violently collect debts, causing many murder cases, and even often forced debtors to sell their wives and women to pay off their debts.

After Qin Lang became the yin of Jingzhao, he rectified Chang'an. The Zou man was even more arrogant. When Qin Lang sent someone to investigate, he found out that this guy had something to do with the Hongnong Yang family, and even the nobles in the Supreme Palace. Many officials even had sex with him.

But Qin Lang didn't care about this. Once he found out, it wouldn't work even if Yang Shidao sent someone to express his feelings.

In the end, the case was reported to the emperor by the prince. Li Shimin was very angry after reading the case file and ordered it to be eliminated personally, and the person named Zou was sentenced to death, and all the property of the Zou family was confiscated.

After seizing the Zou family's property, after some cleaning, more than 600,000 yuan of assets were finally cleared, which was very amazing. In the end, all of this money was replenished into the national treasury.

Many noble officials who had used the stocks were so angry that they jumped, but they didn't dare to say anything.

Which of the top aristocratic families in Chang'an has a wealth of more than ten thousand yuan? Even those top aristocratic officials often cost hundreds of thousands of yuan for a meal, and a pair of boots may cost tens of thousands or tens of thousands of yuan.

But for ordinary people at the bottom of Chang'an, seven things to do: food, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, and even pay rent. If you work hard to make some money every day, you can barely make a living.

You can earn hundreds of money a day in Chang'an, but you can't save money at all.

A remote place like Annan can actually make a hundred dollars?

What attracted them more is that Ah Huang also said that he could get a lot of land when he settled there, and that the land there was cheaper and the house was cheaper, so he could save up ten or eight cents a year.

This is unbelievable. In Chang'an, it would be great if you can get enough food and clothing without illness or disaster in a year. If you can save another one or two thousand yuan, it would be thankful.

I am satisfied with eating, dressing, cooking charcoal and buying salt for the rest of my life.

Annan's life makes them listen to it with yearning.

"It's really that good?"

"What are you doing? Master Huang, I now own a fort, five farms, two workshops, and one mine, and three boats. My fief has more than 500 households and more than 100 slaves. Do you know how easy my Master Huang lives now?"

A group of servants who always think that the Duke of Wei's Mansion is very high and who have lived in Chang'an City are quite comfortable and can't help but secretly exclaimed that the Duke of Wei's Mansion is good, at least much better than other families, but what he said to Ah Huang is really incomparable.

"I just want to own a house of my own, even if it's a little smaller, just one hall and two rooms." A groom sighed.

Another servant sighed, "I still want to have my own land, even if I have twenty or thirty acres. It is the most stable and stable to have my own land."

"Then go to Annan and Wu'anzhou. It is also the fief of our husband. When you get there, as long as you are diligent and willing to work hard, it will definitely be a hundred times better than staying in Chang'an. There will be wives, concubines, children, fields, and houses."
