Take the mall to Datang

"You know the Fusang matter best, why don't you tell me the specifics first." Yuan Shan said.

Yuan Shan chatted with Gao Biaoren about Fusang in the Ministry of Economic Development, and Dugu Ruolan and others went to the Yuan family's house in Cangzhou to clean it up, and they also inspected the Yuan family's shopping mall in Cangzhou. Things are no less than Yuanshan.

After several years of development, Cangzhou is mainly divided into three major areas, Cangzhou City, Cangzhou Seaport and Cangzhou Walled City. Cangzhou Walled City was originally used to house Turkic captives. Life.

In Cangzhou, Turkic people are not allowed to be used as slaves. To hire them, you only need to report to the Cangzhou county government. Basically, they are no different from Tang people except that they are limited to activities in Cangzhou.

Prisoners of war are prisoners of war who want to change the status quo and need to give the court and the Tang people time to prepare.

Jiang Chengwang was very attentive to the Walled City, and the Turkic people living in the Walled City learned from merchants that Lantian County in Chang'an could settle down if they bought a house. Many Turkic people were tempted.

The income of the Turks working in the shipyard is relatively better. They have accumulated a lot of money for such a long time, and they have used a stricter jurisdiction system since the Turks made trouble last time, but after a period of time, they relaxed again. One cannot be an official or participate in scientific examinations, but one can engage in business, so some Turkic people started doing business in the Walled City after earning some capital.

The original restriction on shopping has been canceled long ago, but if there is any illegal behavior in the Walled City, their fate will return to the past again, and there is no wish for a safe and stable fruit day.

When Gao Biaoren was talking with Yuanshan, Jiang Chengwang, the governor of Cangzhou, came over.

"Prefect Jiang is here." Yuan Shan greeted.

"The Xiaolong ship has been arranged at the port." Jiang Chengwang said.

"It's time for Inspector Jiang. Is everything going well with Cangzhou Port during this time?" Yuan Shan asked.

"Thanks to Yuan Pushe, everything is fine, but the Turkic people in the Cangzhou Walled City have been very active recently, and they are very active in regular work." Jiang Chengwang said.

"This is a good thing. It is thanks to Governor Jiang that the harmony between the two clans can be achieved," Yuan Shan said.

Who doesn't like to listen to flattery, or You Pushe's praise, Jiang Chengwang was happy and humble at the same time.

"I plan to return to Chang'an in the near future, but who would want to encounter Fusang, we finally opened up a business route in Fusang, so we can't just give up." Yuan Shan said.

"Yuan servant, do we want to meddle in the affairs of Kyushu Island?" Gao Biaoren asked.

"Of course, the land of Kyushu Island has been exchanged for benefits. You have to remember that there are no permanent enemies, only eternal interests. What is the name of Kyushu Island fighting for? Is it just papermaking technology? In fact, it is not difficult to see that they There are many things they want, and the battle between them is just an actual manifestation of ambition. The conditions offered by Taro Taniguchi are in line with the interests of the trading company. This is the key, but it is very simple to expect their sincerity. It will be difficult." Yuan Shan said.

Gao Piaoren agreed, but what else can they do now, support Taniguchi or support other daimyos, even if they support it, they can only help provide food and money.

"I will report the situation of Fusang to Chang'an later, apply for Xiaolong to provide protection for the trading company, and request to take pictures of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty stationed on Kyushu Island to prevent the loss of the interests of the Tang Dynasty." Yuanshan said.

Gao Biaoren understood a little bit, that is to use force to deter, which is really a good way. It shows the national prestige and can find opportunities to extort money, so that the employment relationship can expand and purchase more land and interests at that time.

When Jiang Chengwang heard that this was a good thing, and he could easily earn credit, he said to Yuan Shan, "Yuan Pushe, I have [-] troops in Cangzhou, and I can board the boat and rush to Kyushu Island at any time."

Yuan Shan nodded. Zhang Yuan, the governor of Cangzhou, indeed has [-] elite soldiers. Because there are too many Turkic people here, he has dispatched a lot of people in the past two years. It is possible to transfer some people to garrison Kyushu Island, but this matter must be Please Your Majesty, they have no right to call the shots.

A month later, the messenger from Chang'an came to report that His Majesty allowed Xiaolong and Jiaolong to go to Kyushu Island to protect Xiangxianghang, and let Zhang Yuan, the governor of Cangzhou, bring [-] soldiers to temporarily garrison the territory of Kyushu Island Trading Company.

It's been too long to wait this time.The two warships and the Cangzhou went out to sea again and went straight to Kyushu Island.

Yuan Shan is staying on board the Cangzhou. This ship is the first treasure ship. Both the workmanship and materials are selected with the best quality. This month, there are many good news in Cangzhou. The fifth treasure ship of Cangzhou Shipyard is about to be completed. Suzhou and Hangzhou also reported that the treasure ships were about to be completed. Three more treasure ships could be produced in no more than two months. The fleet composed of these large ships alone could deter Silla and Fusang.

The Cangzhou sailed smoothly. After arriving at Kyushu Island, Yuan Shan saw the castles on land from the sea.

Waiting here were Zhou Ru and [-] soldiers. Most of the Tang people had evacuated, but the Tang people who mastered the core technology did not leave. The paper-making room was still in operation, and the Fusang people were still working.

"At the end of the day, Zhou Ru has seen Yuan Pu shoot." Zhou Ru came over and said calmly.

"Lieutenant Zhou, you don't need to be too polite. You are here to protect Datang's industry. It is a credit. How is the situation in Kyushu Island now? Has anyone been injured or suffered any losses?" Yuan Shan asked.

"Don't worry, You Pushe, no one from our side came to make trouble. Even though we only have three hundred soldiers, if we really fight, we may not suffer." Zhou Ru said.

Speaking of being very confident, the soldiers under him are all elite soldiers. It is no exaggeration to say that 300 people can fight 1000 opponents. The ashigaru under the daimyo basically have no armor, and the ashigaru generals and other senior soldiers also have some foot pieces. Armor and very few have it, even less for samurai.

Chapter 782

Weapons are a big problem, but people can gather thousands of people to fight with a wave of their hands, and there is indeed a shortage of numbers.

"I hope they don't think about us, let's arrange the soldiers on the ship first." Yuan Shan said.

Gao Biaoren led the way and the group arrived at the trading house, the standard is grand, and the accommodation area at the back can fully accommodate the people of these three boats.

"Haha, Zhou Ru didn't expect to see you here." Tian Yuan said.

Both of them used to be Zhang Liang's subordinates and were very familiar with each other.

The two chatted for a while. Zhou Ru was very excited when he heard that he was chasing pirates in Fuzhou. As generals, they are all fighters. The more they heard, the more excited they became, and they were really envious.

"Okay you, you have become the Fuzhou guerrilla general so quickly, how can I be a lieutenant like me." Zhou Ru said.

"Don't be humble. Although the control is not big, it has attracted the attention of His Majesty. When you challenged the Fusang warriors, Chang'an City knew that it would be a matter of time before you made contributions." Tian Yuan said.

"By the way, you don't want to start a war with the daimyo this time, do you?" Zhou Ru asked in a low voice.

"I don't know yet." Tian Yuan replied directly. He really didn't know, but he was just wondering in his heart. After all, this time when he went to sea and Cangzhou soldiers came, that thousand people, plus his sailors, Zhou Ru's men , plus everything is almost 3000 people.

The strength of 3000 troops already has the strength to compete with the daimyo on Kyushu Island.

The next day, Taro Taniguchi brought people to the trading house upon invitation.

Gao Biaoren introduced directly: "Daimyo Taniguchi, this is from the right servant She of the Tang Dynasty, Minister of Economics and Development, Marquis of Lantian County, Yuan Shan."

Taro Taniguchi knelt down immediately after hearing this. He had seen on the map how big Tang was, and how high the official position of You Pushe was. He knew a lot about Datang when he usually chatted with Gao Biaoren.

Not to mention hearing the Minister of Economic Development, he knew that this trading house was just a shop affiliated to the Ministry of Economic Development. He felt that today might be his chance to change his luck, and treated Yuan Shan with extra respect.

Daimyo Taniguchi just knelt down and lay down on the ground, which made Yuan Shan not quite used to watching Gao Pyoren waiting for him to translate.

Knowing that it was because of the role played by his official authority, he immediately felt good.

"He said he asked you to help him defeat other daimyos." Gao Biaoren translated.

Taniguchi Taro is always lying on the ground very sincerely.

"Maybe you should sit down and have a talk. It doesn't have to be a fight to solve the problem. The trading company has Daimyo Taniguchi's support. We will exchange some benefits with each other in business dealings. It's not a good idea for others to get something for nothing. In fact, there is usually nothing to do with other daimyos, but they need to pay more benefits than Taniguchi daimyo, peace can develop, right?" Yuan Shan said, and Gao Piaoren responded immediately.

Gao Biaoren didn’t even know what Yuanshan’s idea was. Wouldn’t it be good to let Taniguchi unify Kyushu Island? In fact, it was really not good. When he agreed to Kyushu Island, the number of resources, population, and soldiers in his hands was not just a few thousand People can handle it, but ambition can make people inflated.

Fighting and killing at hand is unified, but the damage to a large amount of labor is not worth the loss, and these Fusang people are still counted on to work.

On the same day, Taniguchi daimyo sent his men to ask several daimyos to sit down and negotiate.

In the end, three people came and brought their hundreds of soldiers to the negotiating place. The surrounding area was empty and all the people and horses followed them. As soon as they met, they became in a state of confrontation.

There is a tea table in the middle of the venue, and someone is responsible for making tea.

Taro Taniguchi sat on one side, Shunta Kitano, Yuki Akamatsu, and Ryo Miyagawa rushed up one after another.

"Taniguchi, what do you mean? Are you coming to surrender?" Kitano Junta smiled.
