I'm about to become an immortal, do you want me to be a prince?

Even Hou Junji was envious when he found out.

Leaving iron ore aside, he has seen the benefits of coal mines before.

He has heard about how hot Li Mu's briquettes are selling.

The so-called making money every day is talking about him.

Of course, apart from minerals, Li Mu didn't plan to let go of other special products of the Western Regions.

Things like goji berries and sand dates, he took everything he could get.

Like locusts crossing the border, wherever they pass, they will be scooped up.

Then the people of SF Express will come to transport these items every once in a while.

As for sands and silver sands, Tang Jun grabbed them himself, not Jakir and the others.

But Li Mu said that they can exchange food with them.

Therefore, in the end, most of them fell into the hands of Li Mu.

"Captain Li, Putao City is ahead." An old Shahai driver said to Li Fengjie.

Li Fengjie nodded, and then rode back to the position of the main force.

"My lord, it has been confirmed that the city in front of me is Putao City, which is located in the south of the Qiemo River. If our army marches westward along the river, we should be able to catch up with Fu Yun."

"Well, my son has worked hard." Li Daliang said with a face full of relief.

He has seen Li Fengjie's growth in the past few years, and he is very satisfied.

At the same time, I am very grateful to Li Mu from the bottom of my heart. If it weren't for Li Mu's appearance, maybe his son still has the same cowardly temperament as before.

The current appearance is the kind of Li Daliang.

Well, very good, very good!

"Passing through Putao City is the border of Khotan, we need to stop Fu Yun as soon as possible."

"Yes, my lord!"

"Send the order, the whole army sets off, intercept and kill Fu Yun!"

After the news spread, the old drivers present got excited and howled.

"Intercept and kill Fu Yun!"

"Intercept and kill Fu Yun!"

Chapter 272 The situation in the world is in my eyes!

"Hey, have you heard that the chief executive has decided to destroy Gaochang and build a new city?"

"Really?"

"Really, people have been sent to Chang'an to request orders, and the Huaiyuan County King is also ready to attack the city at any time."

"That's a big deal!"

"That's right, when another new city is established, our Hengda engineering team can make another fortune."

"Hahaha, not bad, good job!"

The Hengda construction workers who came over to do the construction together were all excited when they heard the news, and they talked a lot.

Levy the big tent of the westbound camp.

A white-faced man without armor read the imperial decree loudly.

"Emperor's decree, Gaochang is originally a Han Dynasty, and he should be punished if he bows down to serve Hu! I order Hou Junji, the general manager of Zhengxi, to conquer Gaochang immediately, destroy its national rule, set up prefectures and counties, and review the governor of Xinzhou. Thank you!"

"Your Majesty is wise, I obey the order!"

After Hou Junji shouted, he took the imperial edict with both hands.

This servant is obviously the kind of fierce man with high martial arts skills. Although he is an eunuch, he is tall and strong, and he is even more powerful in armor. He is no different from a fierce general in the army.

I saw that he handed the edict to Hou Junji, and then said, "Hou Gong, Your Majesty ordered you to be the governor of Xinzhou. I hope that Hou Gong will not disappoint the emperor."

"The emperor's kindness is mighty, Junji would like to thank His Majesty!"

What Li Shimin meant was: Old Hou, I'll give you a chance to make some money, don't say I don't take care of you!

In fact, Gaochang is mostly composed of Han people, and it is the blood left by the Han Dynasty garrison.

Later, during the melee in the Central Plains, another group of Han people fled and settled down.

Therefore, the country actually has a relatively large number of Han Chinese.

And the royal family is also of Han Chinese descent.

It stands to reason that it should be closer to the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains.

In fact, it is indeed a vassal state of the Central Plains Dynasty.

It's just that Qu Wentai's generation is no longer close to the Central Plains Dynasty.

It’s not that Qu Wentai never went to Chang’an to pay his respects to the wharf.

But at that time, the Tang Dynasty suffered natural and man-made disasters, and the whole country was in decline.

After Qu Wentai arrived in Chang'an, the places he saw were very desolate.

It is much worse than the former Sui Dynasty.

What's more, the capital of Chang'an is so poor, let alone other places.

Therefore, Qu Wentai decided at that time that the Li Tang Dynasty was nothing more than that.

So after returning to Gaochang, this guy started flirting with Western Turks.

And it also made a lot of big news.

It's not that Li Shimin doesn't know, it's just that he didn't have time to care about it at the time.

After all, I have a lot of troubles at hand, and Gaochang is so far away, it's beyond my reach!

Until later, Li Shimin met Li Mu, a wild time-traveling dog.

After a lot of miraculous show operations, Datang began to change with each passing day.

Leaving aside the doubling of people's income, anyway, Li Shimin's income must not be as simple as doubling a few times.

Even the treasury, the financial situation has entered an unprecedented good scene.

In just a few years, the financial settlement of the treasury was even more than Mr. Yang had accumulated in his lifetime.

Even if Li Shimin is like Mr. Yang at this time, he is a brain-dead prodigal, and it is estimated that the national treasury can afford it.

But Qu Wentai didn't know anything about all this, even if he knew, he wouldn't believe it.

Let's just say that in just a few years, the Tang Dynasty, which was once in decline, was brought back to life, and entered an unprecedented scene of prosperity. No one would believe it.

Moreover, Gaochang Kingdom is far away from the Tang Dynasty, so it is inevitable that there will be a delay in the news.

It wasn't until the Great Tang Zhengxi army came to the door that this guy reacted.

But it seems to be too late.

Running to the front of Hou Junji's camp, crying miserably and begging for mercy, was nothing more than the last sliver of luck in his heart.

In fact, his end was already doomed.

The land of Gaochang is rich in gold, silver, copper and iron, and even coal mines. Such a precious land, even if Li Shimin doesn't do it, other people will do it sooner or later. At least a certain time-traveling dog has been eyeing it.

So, everything is doomed.

The only difference is that.

If Qu Wentai had a bit of insight, he might still have survived.

If you don't have the eyesight to see, then you can only go to the underworld.

But it's clear that there's nothing wrong with this guy.

The lord of the Yiwu city next door had asked Li Simo as an intermediary early on, threw the city into the arms of Datang, and then continued to enjoy the life of a master.

This guy didn't realize it until now, so he can only say that he died without injustice.

The base of SF Express Group.

"Master Jia, right now the Western Regions are in chaos and there are displaced people everywhere. Didn't Lord Jingyang always say that there is a shortage of people? Why don't we..." the younger brother suggested.

There was a gleam in Jakir's eyes, and to be honest, he was still very moved.

Not to mention the entire Western Regions, just talk about the Gaochang Kingdom. Once the country is broken, how many prisoners will there be? These are precious resources.

No matter what he said, he was also one of the veteran talents who followed Li Mu the first time.

He still knows a little bit about Li Mu's layout. For now, labor has always been an important part of Li Mu's layout plan.

Therefore, this suggestion from his subordinate moved him very much.

However, as a qualified younger brother, it is a good tradition to report to the boss before making a decision.

So after pondering for a while, Jakir decided to ask Duke Jingyang if he wanted to buy some slaves before the Gaochang Kingdom was broken.

Seeing that the siege was imminent.

In this era, there is no such high-tech product as the telephone.

Riding is too slow.

Therefore, Jakir chose the secret weapon of SF Express, the carrier pigeon.

goo goo goo...

The base of SF Group's Western Region branch.

A pigeon breeding base.

These pigeons are strictly trained.

There are [-] homing pigeons in the West Region sub-station of SF Express Group.

It takes about fifty to send a message.

The reason why it is necessary to use so many pigeons to send a message is to ensure that the message is delivered safely.

There are many raptors in the northwest, the wind and sand are strong, and if the number of carrier pigeons is too small, it is really difficult to ensure that the news can be conveyed safely.

So, that's why it takes so many pigeons to deliver a message.

But these are still not safe enough, in order to ensure that the news is not leaked.

When transmitting a message, it is generally in the form of a password.

What password?

A digital cipher designed by Li Mu.

It consists of ten Tianzhu numbers from 0-9.

Each number has a corresponding interpretation.

For example, if the first number is 0, it corresponds to codebook 0.

The next second number corresponds to the word in the codebook.

It's a bit complicated, but better than being safe.

And only the senior staff of SF Express can interpret it.

Jakir is naturally considered a high-level person, so he has this authority.

And SF Express Group has established several information transmission lines.

Northwest is an important point, so it naturally has a complete line of information transmission.

To transmit news from the Western Regions, there will be several stations in the middle, because it is impossible for homing pigeons to fly that far, so some intermediate points are needed.

But this kind of information transmission line is costly, and with Li Mu's wealth, he only established a few information lines.
