Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

In his estimation, no matter how poor the Western Regions are, there is still wealth of 5000 to [-] million guan.

After all, the Liu family reopened the Silk Road and maintained the Western Region Market for several years.

Hearing this, old Zhou Yi felt confident and said with a smile: "Master, I don't know something. We originally thought that the less foreign currency is, the higher the value is, but in fact, the current foreign currency has been greatly depreciated, even if it is an exquisite big Eat gold coins, the ratio has reached three to one!"

Liu Bai was taken aback by this ratio.

One must know that the fineness of Dashi gold coins is not much worse than that of Datang's currency.

In other words, now one or two gold ingots with the Tang mark on them could have been exchanged for twelve Dashi gold coins, but now they can be exchanged for 36!

it's very fresh

After all, Liu Bai wasn't born in economics, so he didn't understand the reason behind this phenomenon that violated common sense in economics.

However, it is a good thing after all.

The exchange rate thing is quite fun.

Currency appreciation is not conducive to exports, but it is beneficial to imports.

The mud city is equivalent to a miniature version of the Tang Dynasty.

As the value of Datang currency soars, more and more supplies will be gathered in Mud City.

Calculating the time, in seven or eight days at most, the Liu family will be able to truly control the supplies of the entire Western Region!

Just like Liu Baihe's.

If Yousuf is not sure enough to eliminate Datang's army in a short time, then he must choose to cooperate with Liu Bai.

Unless, he wanted his soldiers to starve to death.

Under long-range combat, the supply line of the Great Food Kingdom is longer than that of Datang.

If food is really transported from their native land, then a bite of food is really more expensive than the same volume of gold!

Not to mention the big food, even Datang can't afford such a big price!

It can be said that the increase in the exchange rate directly doubled the progress of the Liu family!

In fact, if it weren't for the fear that the enemy would see Liu Bai's economic means, the Liu family would have achieved their goal long ago.

Now it seems that Liu Bai thinks highly of them

Old Zhou smiled and said, "Young master has a way. We didn't expect that you chose the base camp in Muni City for the transportation of supplies. I thought you were there."

Liu Bai glared at Old Zhou angrily.

He stared back at the word 'fear of death' that Lao Zhou came to his lips.

They all knew that Liu Bai chose Muni City as his base camp because he controlled the leader of Shanshan Kingdom.

It wasn't until recently that they realized that it wasn't that simple.

The location of Mud City is really special.

The Liu family collected supplies from the entire Western Regions, relying on aboveboard methods.

The only thing that needs to be guarded against is the cannibals who will rob the caravans that transport supplies.

The only way to be absolutely safe is to choose the location in Mud City, a place that happens to be stuck in the middle of the Western Regions.

In the south and north, the big cannibals are beyond their reach.

Going west, you will get out of the oasis where the mud city is located, which is the endless desert.

Let alone a caravan of hundreds of people, an army of [-] people may not be conspicuous.

And the businessmen in the Western Regions are not fools, so they will naturally avoid the Dashi army.

Just find a place to hide, and the cavalry will not be seen when they cross the border!

When they get to the vicinity of Muni City, there is Tang army on their side, so they don't need to be afraid at all.

Just send the supplies directly to Mud City.

As for the big cannibals in the east, they dare not go there.

Chapter 954 In the blood of the Huns, there is wolf nature

In the middle of the night, Liu Bai, who finished his day's work, was planning to go back to his room to rest.

A black shadow suddenly appeared outside the office window.

Liu Bai stretched out his hand and tapped lightly on the table a few times.

knock --

Shen Wei pushed the door open and walked in.

"Master!"

Liu Bai raised his head and said with a smile, "I came back quite quickly."

Half a month ago, Liu Bai asked Baku to bring a box of gold coins to Dashi.

Shen Wei sent him all the way, by the way, to investigate the situation of the main force of Dashi.

"How is it over there?"

Shen Wei knew that Liu Bai was asking about Dashi's main force.

"Just like what Old Su said, big cannibals are terrible. Xu Zhennan and I were observing three miles away from their camp, and we were almost spotted by their people!"

Liu Bai nodded.

The military quality of the Dashi army is no worse than that of Datang.

Some elite troops even surpassed the Datang Mansion soldiers by a little.

As one of the empires with the largest east-west span in history, Dashi not only possessed faith, but also possessed a powerful civilization not weaker than Datang.

If possible, Liu Bai is not very happy, the imperial court will conquer that piece of land.

However, seeing how the court is gearing up, this war will not end easily.

To conquer, one needs to govern.

It is impossible for the imperial court to trust foreigners, it will only implement the old-fashioned immigration policy and move people from the Central Plains to that land.

But compared to its own territory, the population of Datang is not large.

"According to their marching speed, how many days will they arrive?"

Shen Wei made some calculations and said, "The cannibal's journey is slower than we imagined. For three hundred miles, it will take at least five days."

"Five days?"

Although Liu Bai doesn't know much about military affairs, he also understands the reason why a tired army is invincible.

The slower the cannibals walked, the more cautious they were about this war.

It is necessary to save enough physical strength to be able to start a full-scale war with Datang.

"What about the other thing I asked you to check?"

Shen Wei showed a look of distress on his face.

"Master, don't blame your subordinates for speaking harshly. This subordinate feels that you are a bit unkind to Baku and the others."

Liu Bai raised his eyebrows, but he was not angry.

"how to say?"

"The subordinates didn't feel that Baku had any disobedience. Once Su Wu controlled the lives of the entire Baku family. You let him go to the big food and gave him freedom, but he still has no dissatisfaction. , still follow your instructions, it seems that we don't need to guard against them like wolves."

"You have a good impression of the Huns?"

Liu Bai let out a 'puchi' laugh.

"At least, Xiao Jinzi has a good relationship with us."

The little gold in Shen Wei's mouth is Jin Ridun.

Strictly speaking, Jin Ridun is the pure blood of the Huns.

If it wasn't for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who bullied the Huns too badly, Jin Ridun would at least be a "prince" figure.

And Jin Rixun is humble and sincere, which wins the favor of Shen Wei and the others.

"That's because you don't know what the Huns did in the West more than 100 years ago."

Liu Bai let out a long breath.

He didn't blame Shen Wei for being troublesome.

The atmosphere inside the Liu family has always been good and harmonious.

Between each other, never worry about calculations.

However, this is based on mutual trust.

To be honest, Liu Bai never trusted Baku.

Just like the Japanese country, the Huns have wolf nature in their blood.

When they are weak, they will submit themselves to the strong.

When they become stronger, they won't give their former allegiance any chance of survival!

Similarly, Liu Bai was more aware that he could not always hold the lives of the entire Baku family firmly in his hands.

The only thing to do is to tie them down.

Helping them establish a country in the Western Regions to ensure the operation of the Silk Road and rely on the Tang Dynasty to live is to put a strong shackle on their necks.

The 'unkindness' mentioned by Shen Wei is not about Liu Bai helping Baku to build the country.

Instead, let them go feasting!

Frontal battlefield is not what Liu Bai is good at.

The Liu family has always been a merchant, and has never been equipped with private soldiers.

A master of Taiji may easily kill three or five soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

However, if a well-organized army of the Tang Dynasty faced the same number of Taiji masters, the outcome would be unknown.

Economic warfare and information warfare are Liu Bai's real battlefields.

This was also the reason why he firmly believed that Yusuf would accept the scepter.

Baku has already gone to Medina, the holy city of Dashi, and they will spread the news that Yusuf has become a pagan through a box of gold coins.

At that time, Yusuf will be forced to accept even if he does not want to accept it.

The trick of drawing salary from the bottom of the pot may not work very well on the wise men of the Central Plains.

But for aliens, it is a new method that has never been seen before.

"Since the young master has the bottom line in his heart, the subordinates will not say much."

Shen Wei bowed his body.

Liu Bai smiled and said: "That's why, young master, I would rather let Huang Chao, a newcomer, come to be the commander of the Jinyiwei, than you to be the leader. Your problem is different from Xu Zhennan. He is not thinking about things, but you are It's overthinking."

Shen Weilue was a little embarrassed.

He also knows his problem.

But the character is born, you can't change it if you want to.

Things that can't be done.

After Shen Wei retreated, Liu Bai wanted to go to sleep just now, but now the sleepiness suddenly disappeared, and he felt a little refreshed instead.

Simply, let's go to work.

It was a peaceful night.

It seems that Mud City has not undergone any changes due to the arrival of the [-] Dashi troops.

Because, the real change did not appear in the outside world.

But in Shanshan Palace!
