Han counter current

However, after the land was confiscated by Chen Feng, they received a lot of subsidies from the caravan. This time when the merchants from the Western Regions came back, they earned far more than what they earned from farming every year before.

With this comparison, the patriarchs of many aristocratic families have found a way to make a fortune.You know, for the first time as a merchant in the Western Regions, they all took the attitude of giving it a try. Many aristocratic families did not invest too much goods and money.

Now knowing that there is such a road to making money, and with Chen Feng's army as a guarantee, they can definitely earn countless money on this Silk Road in the future.

"Dare to attack my goods, hehe, a small country in the Western Regions, what I'm afraid of is that you don't dare to do it."

In the carriage, Chen Feng had just read a secret letter sent back by Ma Dai, which contained some secrets about his trip to the Western Regions.

At this moment, Chen Feng seemed to have thought of some bad idea again.Merchant is sure to make money, but it is definitely not a good thing to be stared at all the time. Chen Feng is trying to solve this problem.

Chapter 547 Return to Chang'an 1

After arriving in Chang'an, Chen Feng personally met the representatives of those caravans. Along with the caravans returning to Chang'an, there were also some caravans from the Western Regions.

This is a very good signal. The Silk Road has been blocked for so many years, and it is finally opened again. In the future, the goods in the territory of Dahan can be sold to the Western Regions in large quantities.

Now, Chen Feng has mastered two business routes leading to overseas.The first one is from coastal areas such as Liaoxi and Yuyang, using sea ships as means of transportation, leading to Jiangdong, Yizhou, Funan and other places.

That business route, due to the early investment and Gao Zhong's reliable work, has now stabilized, and there will be no more pirates to make trouble.

Now, the Silk Road from Chang'an to Xiliang and then to the Western Regions has been opened. Livestock and vehicles are used as means of transportation. Although the consumption is huge, the profit is also considerable.

Many people crowded the streets to watch the excitement. Novel goods, various crowds, and camels brought back from the Western Regions made Chang'an very lively.

"Hahaha, Bo Zhan, you have worked hard on this trip to the Western Regions. I didn't expect it to take so long. However, with a good start, the next step will be much easier."

After watching the excitement, Chen Feng met Ma Dai in the barracks. This outstanding son of the Ma family has become more stable recently. It seems that he has gained a lot from his trip to the Western Regions.

"The last general thanked the lord for not killing me,,,,,,"

Surprisingly, Ma Dai came up with such a sentence, which almost stunned Chen Feng. Fortunately, he quickly realized that Ma Dai was talking about the things that the caravan encountered in the Western Regions.

Speaking of which, the Silk Road has been blocked for so many years, and most of the small countries in the Western Regions have forgotten the majesty of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, when the caravan first appeared near the Western Regions, many horse bandits came to loot them.

In fact, not many horse bandits participated in this looting. You must know that when Gongsun Xu sent Gongsun Ba to the Western Regions to steal medicine, he had integrated a group of horse bandits on the border of the Western Regions.

Therefore, Gongsun Ba still has a little understanding of the Western Regions, at least which ones are horse bandits, and the deputy general he sent to assist Ma Dai can still recognize them.

It turned out that some small countries in the Western Regions, coveting the goods of the caravan, sent soldiers pretending to be horse bandits to plunder.

Fortunately, each caravan has some men who can carry a knife and mount a horse. Coupled with Ma Dai's unified command, not only repelled many horse bandits, but also gained his own reputation.

Then, the caravan can conduct normal trade.In this era, in the land of the Western Regions, there is actually not much reason at all. If you want to do business, you have to show your fist first.

Outsiders only saw that the caravan brought back a lot of money, wine, beautiful jade and many other treasures from the Western Regions, but they did not see that many members of the caravan failed to come back.

"I didn't expect that a small country in the Western Regions would be so courageous now.

Bo Zhan, you said in your letter that apart from Shanshan and Qiemo, the other small countries in the Western Regions are hostile to me? "

"Yes, I can clearly feel that someone is behind the scenes. In short, the other small countries in the Western Regions not only sent troops to pretend to be horse bandits, but also lowered our prices during transactions.

As for Shanshan and Qiemo, they seem to be friendly on the surface, but in fact, they also have a lot of small tricks. If our caravans were not for joint operations and a large number of people, I am afraid that these two countries would not be so easy to talk to. "

Ma Dai nodded solemnly. He and Gongsun Ba knew each other best when they were in the Western Regions, and they both wrote letters to report what they saw and heard.

After reading the reports of the two, Chen Feng realized that the situation in the Western Regions was complicated.Behind this, I am afraid there is also the shadow of Xianbei in the west.

Most importantly, Chen Feng had received news that Han Sui, who had retreated from Xiliang back then, seemed to have entered the Western Regions.

Gongsun Ba once sent people to follow up, but at that time there were many affairs and troops were sent to guard various places in Dunhuang, so they failed to find out any news in the end.

But what is certain is that Han Sui must have led some soldiers to the Western Regions to hide.This is definitely not good news for Chen Feng.

"Have you ever heard of the news that Han Sui may be hiding in the Western Regions?"

"The last general heard some rumors, but he couldn't find out when he was in the Western Regions. If Han Sui is really in the Western Regions, then he should be hiding at the foot of Tianshan Mountain."

"Xianbei, Han Sui,,,,,,"

"My lord, maybe, the remnants of the Huns are also involved."

"Huh? The remnants of the Huns? Liu Bao?"

"Yes, but there is no evidence for the end. This is just my guess. Because when the Huns were strong, they once controlled the Western Regions.

The grassland at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains was also once occupied by the Huns. Although the Xianbei rose strongly and replaced the Huns, who can tell who the grasslands thousands of miles away belong to. "

Hearing this, Chen Feng's eyes changed.The Xianbei and the Huns were attacked again and again by him, forcing them out of the northern border of the Han Dynasty.

But now, these two nomadic tribes have appeared in the Western Regions. This is not good news, and there is also a good-natured Han Sui around.

If they join forces with the three parties, including soldiers from the Western Regions, and fight back to Xiliang from the grasslands and Western Regions, then Chen Feng will be in countless troubles.

"So, I still underestimated the affairs of the Western Regions. By the way, Bo Zhan, does Meng Qi know about Han Sui's affairs in the Western Regions?"

"I know, I thought my brother would be furious and send troops, but last time he sent someone to inform me, he only asked me to continue to inquire about the news, and did not mention revenge for the time being."

Chen Feng nodded, which was his approval of Ma Chao's approach. It was indeed not the best time to go to the Western Regions.

"Western Region, Western Region, I can't wait for them to trouble me, hum. Bo Zhan, you and Gongsun Ba both mentioned that you will reopen the Protectorate of the Western Region. Are you sure about this?"

"Definitely not for the time being, but we can start to prepare. Our army has already achieved results in Dunhuang. For now, we can advance westward and move to the small city that General Gongsun occupied before to deter the Western Regions."

Both Ma Dai and Gongsun Ba are young people who are very aggressive in doing things, so they worked hard after arriving in Dunhuang.

The disasters in various parts of the Central Plains failed to affect the climate in the west of Xiliang, especially in the Dunhuang area, where the weather is good and there are so many young and strong farmers farming, the harvest is naturally not small.

"Okay, how about it, Bo Zhan, you send someone to inform Meng Qi and ask him to work harder for me. When he has trained elite soldiers, I will consider letting him take up the post of the Protectorate of the Western Regions."

"This, Nuo, the end will understand,,,,,,"

The matter in the Western Regions seems to be a trivial matter, but Chen Feng knows that if the Western Regions become chaotic, Xiliang will be most directly affected.

If Xiliang is in chaos, will Cao Cao sit still?Therefore, before such a thing happens, he wants to extinguish the flames of this riot.

Chapter 548 Return to Chang'an 2

After receiving Chen Feng's advice, Ma Dai soon set off to return to Dunhuang.A month later, Gongsun Ba led an army of [-], and another [-] young and strong, and stationed in the small city where he was recuperating last year.

Speaking of which, there was a joke in the middle.Gongsun Ba has been away from home for a long time, and his age has also reached, so Gongsun Xu, the head of the family, wrote a letter and mentioned that he would arrange a marriage for him.

Who knew that this guy would write back quickly saying that he had found someone he liked in the Western Regions, and there were only two of them, which made Gongsun Xu a little embarrassed.

After all, as a child of an aristocratic family, especially the Gongsun family whose family talents are relatively withered, Gongsun Xu's original intention was to let Gongsun Ba marry the daughter of another aristocratic family.

Furthermore, Chen Feng forcibly moved so many aristocratic families, and he originally wanted his subordinates to marry the daughters of these aristocratic families. Gongsun Xu did this completely according to Chen Feng's instructions.
