Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

The Ashina tribe is now very famous in the northern grasslands, and can be described as well-known far and wide.

From the original tens of thousands of people, it grew to more than 200,000 in a few years, with countless cattle and sheep and an even larger grassland area.

The tribal members are treated well, everyone has a job, and everyone can eat well.

Everyone in the Ashina tribe can obtain expensive items such as tea, wine, soap, and soap through labor.

Iron pots, pottery, and salt are available in every household.

This made the tribesmen in the north very envious. You know, they followed the Khan to invade the border.

It's nothing more than just trying to grab an iron pot.

Salt is also a precious commodity among them.

In their view, the herdsmen of the Ashina tribe lived the life they had always dreamed of.

Therefore, the Ashina tribe is very famous in the north, and you can hear about it by just asking around.

When the guards arrived at Ashina's tribe, they found the person in charge of management, because Ashina Zhong was in Chang'an all year round and only came back occasionally.

He always arranged his own confidants to manage the tribe, and he would pass on any policies or resolutions of the court.

The guard told this confidant about the request for help and handed him the letter written by Wang Hongfu.

However, the other party was unable to confirm the guard’s true identity as he had never seen the guards of Prince Ji’s mansion.

It was a taboo to mobilize troops to other places without permission. He did not refuse directly at that time. After all, it was a request for help from Prince Ji's Mansion.

This confidant told the guards that he did not have the authority to mobilize tribal warriors and wanted to send someone back to Chang'an to ask for instructions first.

In fact, I also wanted to verify with Prince Ji’s Mansion whether it was true.

But the guards couldn't wait, as Wang Hongfu and his men were in danger.

Just when both sides were arguing, Ashina Liang appeared.

Actually he doesn't care about anything in the tribe. He just rides horses, shoots arrows and strolls around every day. He is a playboy.

When he got tired of playing, he would go back to Chang'an for a while and then come back.

Putting him here was also Ashina Zhong's way of preparing for Ashina Liang to take over the tribe in the future.

It can also play a deterrent and supervisory role.

As soon as Ashina heard that it was Prince Ji's palace that came to ask for help, he ran back from outside.

When he saw the guards' equipment, he believed it 80% of the time. He had seen the guards of Prince Ji's mansion in Chang'an.

He Ata said that this set of equipment can only be found in the Yulin Guards.

After reading Wang Hongfu's letter again, he realized that there was such a great advantage to be gained, so he immediately ordered his men to prepare to set off.

When the confidant saw that the young Khan had confirmed that he was from Prince Ji's mansion, he decided to send troops. The Khan would definitely not blame them.

So they collected a batch of furs that day, took all the existing carriages in the Ashina tribe, and set off for Xizhou under the leadership of Ashina Liang himself.

Ashina Liang said that it was the furs of the entire tribe, which was just an excuse, and it would be good if we could get half of it.

This is also said to show their sincerity.

When Ashina heard that Wang Hongfu was in danger, he traveled day and night, taking only a short break at mealtime.

Finally, they were able to arrive when Wang Hongfu was in danger, otherwise Wang Hongfu and the others would really have died here.

After the guard finished his story, Wang Hongfu and others sighed, thinking that he had not been thoughtful enough.

He did not consider that even if the other party was confirmed to be from Prince Ji's Mansion, without Ashina Zhong's order,

None of them had the authority to mobilize an army of more than a thousand men.

Otherwise, it would be a mess.

At this moment, Wang Hongfu had to be thankful that the little Khan Ashina Liang was there, although he had no official position or title.

But he is the next generation successor to the tribal leader. Although mobilizing troops is against the rules, at least he can mobilize them.

We are so lucky, thanks to the reputation of Prince Ji's Mansion.

By evening, the whole army set up camp, and Ashina Liang brought a lot of meat.

Everyone sat around the campfire and roasted meat. Ashina Liang also took out some special kumis for Wang Hongfu and the others.

Guards are not allowed to drink alcohol when on a mission. This is military regulation. However, Wang Hongfu does not have such a rule.

"My dear, thank you for saving my life today. Thank you for coming to rescue me.

This glass of wine is for you, my dear young master."

Wang Hongfu raised his cup and toasted Ashina Liang with a glass of wine.

"Haha, Manager Wang, you are too polite. My uncle has something going on, so as his nephew, I will naturally do my best to help.

Shopkeeper Wang always says this, which seems a bit strange. "

Ashina Liang laughed.

"Yes, yes, yes, I was wrong. It was indeed a bit rude to say that. I will drink a glass of wine as punishment."

Wang Hongfu smiled, nodded repeatedly, and drank a glass as a punishment.

Ashina Liang also laughed and drank a glass.

"Manager Wang is indeed a man of action and of words, no wonder my uncle thinks highly of you.

My Ata said that Manager Wang is a business genius. Even if he doesn’t work in Prince Ji’s mansion, he can still make a career.”

"No, no, no, young master, you are too kind. My talent is not worth mentioning. It is not even as good as the little finger of His Royal Highness Prince Ji.

To be honest, if it weren't for the rescue of His Royal Highness Prince Ji, my family would have been destroyed.

I have been taught by His Royal Highness Prince Ji over the years, and I have mostly been carrying out His Royal Highness Prince Ji's orders."

When Wang Hongfu heard Ashina Liang's praise, he quickly waved his hands. He did not dare to take credit for it.

“Haha, Shopkeeper Wang, there’s no need to be modest. My uncle is not the kind of person who is jealous of talented people.

If Shopkeeper Wang had no talent, how could my uncle let Shopkeeper Wang manage such a large family business as the Ji Palace? "

Ashina Liang laughed loudly. He thought Wang Hongfu was afraid that Prince Ji would be angry.

Wang Hongfu personally handled the cooperation between the Ashina tribe and the Prince Ji's Mansion. After all, he still had the face of the Princess of Dingrang.

Ashina Zhong spoke highly of Wang Hongfu's abilities.

Therefore, Ashina Liang also wanted to have a good relationship with Wang Hongfu so that he could get more benefits as a future partner.

Wang Hongfu looked helpless. He basically just followed the orders of His Royal Highness Prince Ji, and the rest was just management.

He didn't dare take the credit for himself.

"By the way, Shopkeeper Wang, I heard that my uncle is going to build a city in the north. I wonder if this is true or not."

After the greetings, Ashina Liang started talking about business.

He also heard it from Ata.

The Tang Dynasty destroyed the Xueyantuo and subdued the Tiele tribes further north. At that time, Prince Ji said that he wanted to establish cities and colleges in the north.

Only a year had passed, and there had been no movement in Prince Ji's Mansion, except for the establishment of a few purchasing points on the northern border.

They had been trading with the Tiele tribes in the north for a long time, but they never said where they would build a city.

At that time, Ashina Zhong said that it would be great if he could build a city in his Ashina tribe.

That way their Ashina tribe will become even stronger.

That's why Ashina Liang asked Wang Hongfu about this matter.

But Wang Hongfu shook his head:

"Young Master, His Royal Highness Prince Ji has no such idea at the moment."
