Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House

hehe!

Someone sneered.

The window was open, and a gust of wind came in, carrying the smell of the inner city river.

Yuhua Lane is close to the Inner City River, and everyone is used to the smell of the river.

However, at this moment, with the sound of hehe, the smell of the river water changed, making the atmosphere in the room a little tense.

In the past, if you go to the Western Regions, not to mention five times the profit, even ten times the profit is not a problem. Now, with the gold rush in the Western Regions, even small businessmen are delusional to go to the Western Regions. Two days ago I saw a small The boss bought 10,000 taels of tea and prepared to ship it to Xiliang.

Everyone is rushing to the west, so many goods are piled up together, it is inevitable to lower the price. At that time, let alone ten times the profit, I am afraid that even five times the profit will not be able to keep. After a year of hard work, so much money has been invested, and the result is a small profit. Hard work, why bother.

Wu Dabiao grabbed the armrest of the chair, According to everyone's opinions, you don't want to go to the Western Regions?

Boss Wu misunderstood. We all support your statement. The Western Regions must run away. But Sanhe Express charges too high, and the value of the goods is not a handicap. Can we bypass Sanhe Express and our own people will escort the goods Go out to the Western Regions.

We have our own guards, and they are all seasoned veterans. Why are we looking for Sanhe Express? Everyone paid so much money, and it took a year to go back and forth. In the end, everything was cheaper than Sanhe Express. It's not worth it.

Short-sighted! Wu Dabiao cursed.

Everyone is dissatisfied.

Wu Dabiao said with a stern face, Do you think that without Beirong Xiliang, the grassland will be peaceful? Let me tell you, without Beirong Xiliang, those small tribes with only a few hundred or a thousand people will all risk their lives. When they came out, they turned into thieves and robbers on the grassland. They were born and bred, familiar with the terrain, and skilled in bowing and horses. Ask yourself, can our guards beat them when they are on other people's territory? The Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce next door is willing to pay for three And express delivery, can't our Northern Chamber of Commerce afford the money?

Sanhe Express charges are really too expensive.

Wu Dabiao threw out a stack of brochures, Sanhe Express is expensive, and there is a reason why it is so expensive. After leaving the customs, you can stay at the military fortress at night. He also promised that if the person is gone, he will still bring the money back. If When the stock is gone, they don’t charge anything.”

Thousands of miles away, how many fortresses can there be?

Having a place to rest and replenish food and water is better than sleeping in the wilderness. The grassland and desert are by no means as peaceful as we thought. Sanhe Express dared to charge such a high fee,

He has his own reasons. Stop talking nonsense, if you are willing to join the group, just say it, if you don't want to, you can leave now.

Wu Dabiao spoke.

However, everyone here is an old fox, and no one moves.

Wu Dabiao sneered, Then I will assume that you all agree. One million taels of goods, let's all make up together. I have 200,000, how much do you have?

Is one million a little too much, eight hundred thousand?

Yes, 800,000, lucky.

Okay! Just 800,000 goods. I still have 200,000, what about you?

Everyone pooled money, or pooled goods.

They were all wealthy merchants, and they quickly collected 800,000 taels.

The next step is to organize the source of goods and contact Sanhe Express.

...

On a sunny day, Wang Xiaoxi left the capital with a caravan with a caravan.

His daughter-in-law took the child and saw them off at the gate of the city.

After all, they are husband and wife.

Don't worry about me, I'll be back by this time next year.

Don't be brave when you go out. It's okay to suffer a little, and you must be safe.

The husband and wife bid farewell and sent each other away with tears.

On the same day, dozens of horses left the capital on fast horses and headed west.

With a bright yellow imperial decree, they wanted to pass on the emperor's wishes to Xiliang, and formally conferred the title of Marquis Lu as Prince Anxi, the first king with a different surname since Taizu proclaimed himself emperor in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

For this decree, the most learned people in the court, every word, and the words.

As Lord Lu who wrote this decree, he was collectively impeached by the censor.

They almost pointed at his nose and scolded him as a national traitor!

Mr. Lu was wronged.

Censors and others are indeed the most annoying group of people.

In the eyes of these censors, anyone who dislikes them must be called a national thief.

It's true that the national thief is the Chinese cabbage in the vegetable market, wholesale and retail.

A decree was criticized to the brim.

Pick the bones in the egg and pick out more than a dozen flaws.

Tangtang Zhongshu Ling, literary talent is not good.

Zhongshu ordered Mr. Lu to quit the job altogether.

Whoever loves to write the imperial decree will write it.

Just because of this, the court was noisy for a while.

The last decree was written by Emperor Liu Zhao himself.

I am not afraid of infamy! If this is a wrong decision, I will bear all the consequences. After a hundred years, I am not afraid of being scolded later.

As soon as the voice fell, Yuxi fell.

A legal decree for conferring a king was released.

Qian Fu's decree-delivering team took the imperial decree and hurried westward.

Xiliang is too far away for the imperial court to reach.

Then let the caravans and adventurers stare at Xiliang, King Anxi, and the grassland and desert on behalf of the court.

Liu Zhao stood at the top of the city wall, watching the decree delivery team leave.

The detachment passed by the caravan.

Everyone in the caravan was full of excitement and excitement, and their eyes were shining with stars.

They are going to Xiliang, which is a feat for anyone, enough to boast three generations.

my dad...

my grandpa...

my ancestors...

Back then, during the gold rush in the Western Regions, thousands of miles went west, tens of thousands of miles traveled back and forth, and brought back...

On the way to the west...

On the way back...

My family has grown since then.

This trip to Xiliang, for future generations, is the merit of the ancestors.

Even if it fails, it is worth remembering.

If it succeeds, an inscription will be engraved for future generations to praise.

...

The Baiyun Temple in the capital welcomes a very distinguished guest today.

Daoist Xuan Qing, who had not been out of the mountain gate for many years, went to the gate to greet him in person.

Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!

Daoist Xuanqing is polite.

Gu Jiu got off the sedan chair, she was dressed very plainly today.

If it wasn't for the maids around her and the guards looking around, if they saw her without knowing it, they would mistake her for some noble lady.

My lady, please come inside, I have prepared a cup of tea.

Gu Jiu said with a smile: It is my honor to be able to drink the tea cooked by the Taoist priest himself today.

She stepped into Baiyun Temple.

Guan Nei deliberately closed the mountain gate today, just to welcome the empress.

Therefore, there are no good men and women in the temple, only a few Taoist priests, all of whom look upright.

Gu Jiu followed Taoist Priest Xuanqing through the main hall, the atrium, and several corridors to the pavilion in the back mountain.

The terrain here is open and the scenery is beautiful.

I don't know that there is such a good place in Baiyun Temple.

This is a place for poor Taoists to cultivate, and no outsiders come here on weekdays.

No wonder!

My lady, please drink tea.

Thank you, Daoist!

After the tea tasted good, Gu Jiu put down the teacup and got to the point.

Does the Taoist know, why did I find you?

Pindao dared to guess, maybe it has something to do with Xiliang.

Gu Jiu nodded approvingly, Does the Taoist priest have any ideas about Xiliang?

Daoist Xuanqing smiled, his smile was unpredictable, How dare you have any ideas.

Why dare you have an idea?

Your Majesty needs to do something poor, why don't you speak up.

I would like to ask the Taoist priest, I want to take root in Xiliang, and even assimilate the local Xiliang people. The purpose is that Xiliang people will recognize themselves as Dazhou people in a hundred years. In addition to the deterrence of force, the combination of interests, and cultural transmission, we must What do I have to do?

Daoist Xuan Qing smiled and said, Three points from your mother are enough!

Gu Jiu shook his head, It's not enough, it's far from enough. The situation in the Western Regions is complicated, there are many races, and the conflicts are becoming more and more serious. These three things alone are not enough for King Anxi to absorb and assimilate Xiliang.

Oh? If it's not enough, the empress should ask the ministers and workers of the court, not a poor outsider.

Gu Jiu laughed, I still need the power of faith.

Dao Xuanqing paused slightly, and then said nonchalantly: The poor Taoist heard that the Xiliang National Teacher is hopeless, and he is from the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Gu Jiu had a half-smile, Does the Daoist know what the people of Xiliang believe in?

Daoist Xuanqing shook his head, I don't know!

Gu Jiu said solemnly: We in Dazhou believe in God and our ancestors. We build ancestral halls to worship, which is pious and grand. Liang, if he wants to assimilate the local people, he has to rely on intermarriage of several generations.

However, most of the soldiers of the Northwest Army lost their families and their ancestral halls, which meant they lost their faith and their spiritual support. The Northwest Army has lost their faith, how can they assimilate the locals? How to overcome the beliefs of the local people? If one day, a Dazhou person in Xiliang no longer believes in his ancestors, but converts to the local belief, is he still a Dazhou person?

Daoist Xuanqing had a serious expression, What do you want to say?

Gu Jiu said: The Northwest Army needs ancestral halls, sacrifices, and beliefs. Their descendants also need the inheritance of beliefs from their parents. If you Taoists don't occupy the highlands of belief, others will. After occupation, I have to turn around and stomp on your Taoists hard. Bai Yunguan, as the leader of the Taoists in the world, how can he shrink back and watch others play prestige.

Daoist Xuanqing was silent for a moment, I understand what your mother means. You want our Taoists to enter Xiliang.

Exactly!

Your Majesty, in Xiliang, already has a Buddhist family and Master Wuwang, so why do you want our Taoist school to come forward?

Gu Jiu smiled, Buddha, the ins and outs, the Taoist master is more clear than this palace. Taoism is the cultural belief passed down from ancient times in this land. The soldiers of the Northwest Army need sacrifices, spiritual sustenance, and the need to pass on their beliefs This important task belongs to you Taoists. I hope that one day, the natives of Xiliang will all speak Chinese, wear Han clothes, read Chinese books, write Chinese characters, and believe in the ancestors of the Han family. It is not a survival of the fittest, becoming a It is a weird belief that has changed its appearance. It is not allowed to be invaded by foreign beliefs.
