Daming I am Jin Yiwei

Ji Bingyan's eyes lit up: "Silk Road"

Lu Xuandao: "That's right, since the Han Dynasty, with Chang'an as the center, passing through Liangzhou, the countries of the Western Regions, and directly reaching the countries of West Asia and the Mediterranean, it is famous for the transportation of silk and porcelain by merchants."

However, this Silk Road will be interrupted every time there is a war in the Central Plains.

The routes of the countries in the Western Regions also became dangerous because they did not have the protection of the Central Plains Empire, and the commercial routes were cut off.

When Ji Bingyan heard this, she couldn't understand Lu Xuan's meaning: "My lord, do you want to"

Lu Xuandao: "That's right, the Western Regions are under my Ming's control, in order to supply military supplies, and for the long-term stability of the Ming Dynasty, the Silk Road must be re-opened. Whether it is a businessman from the Western Regions, West Asia, or my Ming's businessmen, someone needs to be able to participate in it." , to reopen."

Ji Bingyan nodded excitedly: "Ji Bingyan, I am willing to do my best."

Lu Xuan smiled: "This is for you to make money, it's not a simple job."

Ji Bingyan said: "Don't worry, my lord. When I go back, I will immediately contact the major trading houses to discuss the restart of the Silk Road."

Lu Xuan said: "Yes."

For the restart of the Silk Road, a memorial to the imperial court is still needed, and military leaders such as Xu Da and Li Jing need to be informed.

In addition, Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and Xichang should also be notified.

This kind of thing where everyone earns money together, the more people who participate in the initial stage, the better.

The most important thing is that in the early days of the opening of trade routes, many horse thieves and greedy small countries on the Silk Road also needed to have enough masters to deter them.

The only obstacle may be the Ottoman Empire that blocks the east and west continents

In this case, to break the blockade, it is necessary to revive the ancient Persian Empire, or other means.

In addition, the Maritime Silk Road of the Ming Empire, which has been silent for a long time, should also be vigorously developed.

Especially inside the imperial court, after Zheng He, the eunuch of the Three Treasures, left the customs, many secret sealed sea charts and so on were dug out.

As for the many officials who initially wanted to stop Zheng He's voyage plan, those who were imprisoned and those who were relegated were relegated. Zheng He's orders were executed flawlessly through the East Factory and the West Factory.

This point was clearly stated in the letter sent to him by Jin Yiwei Commander Luo An.

Lu Xuandao: "After I report to the emperor, the imperial court will give you the greatest support. In addition, Lord Zheng He wants to restart the Maritime Silk Road, and you can participate if you are capable."

Ji Bingyan was extremely excited when he heard the news.

Initially, his plan was to unite with major chambers of commerce, organize a group of masters, and forcibly open up business routes.

I believe that with the escort of many experts from the Central Plains, the Silk Road should be safe.

I didn't expect that the imperial court would personally support it

If it were someone else, Ji Bingyan might not believe it.

However, what was in front of him was Master Lu Xuan, the Commander of Jin Yiwei.

After many days of contact, Ji Bingyan has great admiration for Lu Xuan's character, and his trust can be measured by life and death.

Once such a silk trade route is opened, Ji Bingyan can imagine how much wealth he will have in the future

At that time, it will not be a simple "rich party"

Ji Bingyan made a salute: "Thank you, my lord."

Lu Xuan waved his hand: "It's just mutual benefit, no thanks."

Ji Bingyan said: "Ji Bingyan and the majority of merchants will always remember your kindness in their hearts."

Half a month later, Lu Xuan, Ji Bingyan and more than 50 Jinyiwei passed through Yumen Pass and returned to the Central Plains.

At a fork in the road, the war horse stopped.

Lu Xuandao: "Let's bid farewell here."

Ji Bingyan said: "My lord, there will be a period later"

Lu Xuandao: "There will be a period later"

Ji Bingyan left quickly. He was going to contact the major chambers of commerce, prepare goods, organize caravans, recruit guards, and prepare for the opening of the Silk Road.

Lu Xuan returned to the capital with Gu Changfeng and others, preparing for the trip to Japan.

If possible, Lu Xuan is going to borrow a boat from Zheng He.

In addition, due to the trip to the desert, Ye Fan's vest was broken.

The identity of Chu Feng, the previous master of swordsmanship, was also lost.

He still has to prepare for his new identity.

Half a month later, the brigade returned to the capital.

Jinyiwei, Beizhen Fusi.

The commander of Jin Yiwei made Brother Luo An sit on the threshold, looking at Lu Xuan like an old farmer: "Hey, let me tell you, Lu Xuan, you can't be quieter."

Lu Xuan smiled: "Brother Luo, what are you talking about?"

Luo An took out a dossier: "When I went to the Great Desert, I got most of the Western Regions into my hands, and I also let more than 100 Jinyiwei elites from the Fusi Yamen in my North Town stay there, and there are two thousand households as many as them." If someone is on a business trip, who will do things for me?"

Lu Xuandao: "Ah, Brother Luo An just find some more."

Luo An stood up and said, "Look, where can I find Jin Yiwei to train people who can do things easily? You just let it go, why are you so unwilling to accept this commander?"

Lu Xuandao: "Hey, all the old brothers are here, how can I be embarrassed?"

Luo An glanced at him: "Don't come here, you boy, you think we don't know, and you just want to run around blindly."

Lu Xuandao: "Isn't this all for the emperor's worries?"

Luo An said: "Hehe, it has been spread all over the rivers and lakes, whoever believes the nonsense of Jin Yiwei Lu Xuan is stupid"

Lu Xuandao said righteously, "Brother Luo, this is definitely slander."

Luo An said: "I don't care if it's slander or not, if you want to scatter the Fusi people in Beizhen, you will bring back twice as many people as you want."

Lu Xuandao: "This matter is easy to talk about, easy to talk about."

Luo An said helplessly, "Okay, let's get down to business, this time you're going to Dongpu"
