I'm a marquis in Datang

Du Ruhui sighed, he knew he couldn't persuade Du Qi, because Du Qi was always very assertive.Du Ruhui couldn't change what Du Qi had decided.

Du Ruhui thought for a while, and said, "Erlang, you have to think twice about everything, and you have to be fully prepared, and you can't do anything recklessly. Otherwise, there may be problems. Being a father can't help you, the only thing I want to ask you, Just be prepared. You

The more fully prepared you are, the greater your confidence. "

Du Qidao: "Father, don't worry, the son understands."

Du Ruhui chatted with Du Qi again, and finally Du Qi left and returned to his room.

Du Qi didn't say anything about this matter.

Except for his parents, he couldn't trust anyone else, and Du Qi didn't tell even Liu Zhengxi.Because even if this matter is to be arranged, it must be done under another guise.

Du Qi quickly arranged for Huang Sheng from Chang'an Bank to send the money, while Du Qi began to adjust the properties under his command.

Expand the main industries to the west.

Qianzhuang is also westward.

This is the next direction.

After Liu Zhengxi got Du Qi's arrangement, he had a different opinion.When he came to the study, Liu Zhengxi sat upright and reported: "My lord, to the west is the Longyou Road, which is adjacent to Tubo and Tuyuhun to the west, and there are many foreign tribes."

"Even further to the far west, there are countries in the Western Regions farther away."

"Going this way, the commercial roads are actually not smooth, and the imperial court's control is not strong, almost none. To expand to these areas, the main industries are all developed in these places, I think there is a great risk."

"Instead of developing westward, I think it is better to develop in the hinterland of the Central Plains, or

It is expanding to the south of the Yangtze River.Whether going to the hinterland of the Central Plains or the south of the Yangtze River, it can increase the commercial territory. "

Liu Zhengxi put forward his own suggestion.

Du Qi didn't say his real purpose, and said: "Mr. Liu, the reason why we are developing westward is because the domestic business has been constantly developing. No matter what, the domestic business actually has an upper limit. My plan is We hope to open up the former Silk Road and expand our commercial territory to the Western Regions. So we are making arrangements now."

Liu Zhengxi originally opposed it.

Now that Du Qiyi said it, he stopped objecting immediately.

Naturally, the bigger the business map, the better.It's just that in Datang's country, the commercial territory is really not that great. After it really expands outward, it will be different.

There is a feeling of expanding the territory.

Liu Zhengxi didn't stop him anymore, and said, "Since the young master said so, Liu should make arrangements for himself. The next focus, although it will take into account the commercial development of Jiangnan, Central Plains and other places, the main focus is to go to Longyou Road, one step at a time. Step forward to expand in the Western Regions."

Du Qi said with a smile: "Mr. Liu arranged, I don't worry."

A decision will involve countless things.

These were all arranged by Liu Zhengxi, so Liu Zhengxi left in a hurry to busy himself with the things in his hands.Du Qi stayed at the mansion, planning the development of the Western Regions.

The next thing is to prepare for going to the Western Regions.

Time flies, and it is early March in a blink of an eye.

March [-]rd is an auspicious day for the zodiac.

On this day, Li Jing, as the marching chief, dispatched troops to mobilize the army to fight.This time, instead of recruiting tens of thousands of soldiers on such a large scale as in the past, there were only 3 soldiers, and 2 were soldiers from ordinary people.Even so, they are all elite.The remaining [-] people are all regular troops, the elite of the army.

There are only 3 people, but the strength is not weak.

The most important thing is that Li Jing, as the general manager of the march, led the army to the north to crusade against the Turks. To destroy Jieli Khan, he had to work a lot, and Li Jing was fully in charge, so he could dispatch all the troops in the north.So for Li Jing, 3 people are a little small, but they are barely enough to dispatch all parties.

Du Qi also accompanied them.

He is not only the military counselor, but also the food and salary in the army are under his control.

To put it bluntly, Du Qi is the butler.

The army vowed to march in the city of Chang'an, left Chang'an from the northern city in mighty force, then went north to Puzhou, passed through Puzhou, and went north to Shuozhou in the north of Daizhou.

The base camp of this battle is set in Shuozhou.

The army led by Li Jing will be stationed in Shuozhou, and then plan to deal with it one by one.

Turks.

The army went north, all the way.

The food in the army is very good, mainly steamed buns and steamed buns.Because such food is easy to steam and cook, and consumes little flour, steamed buns, steamed buns, and yellow buns can be steamed. After eating these pasta, it is not easy to be hungry.

In addition, there is also broth.

This is Du Qi's arrangement.

You can't go to the battlefield to starve the stomachs of soldiers.

For the rest of the war, in fact, it is impossible to have such food. It is already good to have dry food and noodle cakes. In today’s army, in addition to steamed buns, steamed buns, yellow buns, and broth, there are also There are bacon, pork, mutton and other tooth-beating sacrifices every now and then, which can be said to be very good.

With such a treatment, the soldiers in the army are all high-spirited.

On March [-], the army entered Jiangzhou.

After nightfall, the moon and stars are thin.

After the camp was set up properly, most of the soldiers had already rested.In the big tent of the Chinese army, the oil lamp was on, and Li Jing was still looking at the map to study the war with the Turks.

In addition, there are also a lot of information about the Turks in the north, which are also sent one by one, and sent to Li Jing for Li Jing to read, so that Li Jing can grasp the information on the battlefield.

message to make the best arrangements.

After reading the information for a while, Li Jing stopped and said, "Come here, please invite Du Canjun to discuss matters."

Du Qi was counselor of military affairs, and Li Jing called him Du Canjun.

The soldiers went to inform, and after a while, Du Qi came.

When Du Qi saw Li Jing, he smiled lightly and said, "Director Li, although spring is beginning now, it's the beginning of March. But the spring is cold, so you always have to pay attention to your body."

Li Jing is now nearly sixty years old.

In the army is the mainstay.

He is also the military god of Datang.

Du Qi respects Li Jing very much, and being able to partner with Li Jing is also a good arrangement for Du Qi.

Li Jing chuckled lightly and said, "The old man's body is still pretty strong. Besides, with the down jacket you made, it's not too cold. Although it's said that the spring is cold in March, it has some influence, but in fact it doesn't have much influence."
