[Journey to the West] Wukong purchasing

A few days later, the pangolin demon finally dug the passage from the back mountain to the Shuilian Cave. Wu Kong divided the remaining things in his warehouse into two halves, and hid the other half in the Shuilian Cave, which was guarded by the monkey group and Jiao Demon King. , The other half was sent to the daughter country by him.

The items sent to Daughter Country are mainly all kinds of synthetic textiles and candies purchased from Xingwang. These things are used as daily necessities and are not dangerous. weapons or something.

What's more, Wu Hao didn't think that the shrewdness of the king of the daughter country would sell these goods worth tens of thousands of gold at a low price.

"Mr. Wu Jialang sent such a great gift, and I really don't know how to repay it." The king of the Daughter Kingdom looked at him with a smile, and the meaning in his eyes was unclear.

If this generous gift was given by Tang Xuanzang, then she could still understand. After all, when he left the Tang Dynasty, the king already knew that she was very similar to Tang Xuanzang's biological mother. Then ask someone to find out how Elder Tang's biological mother passed away. In this way, it is not difficult to explain why Tang Xuanzang was so generous to himself who looked exactly like his biological mother.

It's just, Boss Wu, don't look at the person who usually smiles, just because he can make his father jump from a merchant to an official, and accumulate tens of thousands of wealth in just a few years, you can know that this person is not like him. so harmless.

The queen's master once told her that the more seemingly harmless people and things are, the more vigilant they are, because almost all traps in the world are disguised layer upon layer.

"Her Majesty is a straightforward person, so I will not be polite." Wu Cong is not a fool, he does not care when he senses the precaution and distrust behind the queen's politeness, anyway, he sent this favor, one is for Elder Tang , Second, there is really something to ask the queen.

"I would like to hear more about it." As soon as Wu Hong said this, the Queen breathed a sigh of relief.It's good to be willing to ask, but she is afraid that someone will give her benefits but don't ask for it. Usually there is only one reason for this situation, that is, asking for a lot, and she is just fishing for big fish with a long line.

"It's like this. My mother is now pregnant with twins. As she grows older, as a son of man, she is very worried. She is afraid that mother's childbirth will be difficult. Well, I have heard that the mother-child river in the daughter country can help pregnant women give birth smoothly... "

"So that's the case. I don't think it's such a big deal. It's just a bowl of river water, so I asked someone to fetch it."

"Your Majesty, the river water is one thing, and another thing." Although the Queen is the reincarnation of Elder Tang's own mother, friendship is friendship and business is business. Boss Wu will not trade at a loss just because the Queen is his mother-in-law. After turning around, Wu Hao immediately changed the subject and said, "I don't know if Your Majesty still remembers the place where the scorpion spirit is entrenched outside the king's city?"

"Scorpion spirit?" The king of Daughter Kingdom twitched his eyebrows, as if he had guessed what Wu Kong really wanted.

That's right, I heard that the scorpion spirit is now a confidant general of Wu Kou's subordinates, he controls at least half of the Wu family's business, and even single-handedly pulled the Wu family's caravan to the Western Regions. Maybe he wants to...

"Your Majesty is wise, I'm afraid I have already guessed what the villain is asking for." Wu Hao smiled and revealed the answer, "Scorpion Jing is now doing business in the Western Regions for my Wu family. A weak woman who has been wandering outside all year round is really pitiful. I want to find a place for her to stay, and it happens that the Pipa Cave of Poison Enemy Mountain used to be her cave, why not Her Majesty the Queen reward her with this grace and give the Poison Enemy Mountain to Scorpion Spirit."

"Since it is the old cave, she can take it for herself, so why should she ask for this kind of grace?" The queen was a little puzzled.To be honest, she really didn't pay much attention to a poisonous enemy mountain in the district, and she would give it away if she gave it away, not to mention that the place is full of evil spirits. It's tasteless.She just didn't understand why Wu Hong had to go through the road with her instead of doing so much.

"Of course it's for the sake of justice." Wu Kong didn't think about hiding this matter from the Queen. After glancing at Tang Xuanzang, Wu Kong said solemnly, "Since Her Majesty is determined to join forces with the Tang Dynasty, she is naturally aware of the Tang Dynasty's power over the Western Regions." It must be won, if the Western Expedition is victorious, I am afraid that all the countries in the Western Regions will become the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and by that time, I am afraid that Poison Dishan will change its surname to Li."

"Unless, before the Western Expeditionary Army of the Great Tang Dynasty arrives here, the Poisonous Enemy Mountain will be included in our Xiliang Women's Country, and I will donate it to the Scorpion Spirit." The queen looked at Wu Kong with eyes full of appreciation.Why doesn't she have such a smart person under her command?

Based on the queen's understanding of His Majesty Li Er, this emperor is magnificent and broad-minded. Giving it away is just an addition to the memorial. His Majesty Li Er will never hurt the heart of a hero because of such a trivial matter.

In this way, it was no wonder that Wu Hao was willing to pay such a large amount of benefits to ask her to help with this matter.The queen lived in Chang'an City for a while, and knew that in the Tang Dynasty, very few courtiers could get fiefs, and those who had fiefs were basically the royal family. It is absolutely impossible for His Majesty Li Er to break this exception for Tang Xuanzang.

If Xie Zijing wanted to become the owner of Poisonous Enemy Mountain "by name and truth", and be recognized by the court, Wu Kong's method was the fastest and least worrying.If His Majesty Li Er arbitrarily assigned a mountain to a Hu merchant, the courtiers could spray him to death, even the eldest grandson Wuji, who had always supported His Majesty Li Er, would not condone him doing such a stupid thing.

However, if this matter is done by her... It's not that the queen has a dark mind. She thinks that the civil and military men of the Tang Dynasty will only be happy in their hearts. After all, in their eyes, only the faint king can do such a thing. The civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty saw the appearance of a foolish king in another country, just like the head teacher of the second class saw a troublemaker suddenly appeared in the first class, secretly excited and excited?

Not to mention all the officials, I'm afraid that His Majesty Li Er would be happy to see her "faint move".

The water from the Zimu River was brought in quickly, and along with it, there was an edict bearing the queen's seal, which clearly stated that the ten li radius of Poisonous Enemy Mountain would belong to the Scorpion Spirit, and it was guaranteed to be justified. In addition, the queen also sent a favor to Wu Yu: she canonized Xie Zijing as a councilor of the Xiliang women's country and an envoy to the Tang Dynasty.

"The Xiliang women's country is not far away from the Tang Dynasty, and paying tribute is really difficult. I have heard that Mrs. Xie's family is good at dealing with merchants, and traveling in the Western Regions is like being in her own backyard. From now on, I will trouble Xie's wife to serve as a tribute transporter for the Xiliang women's country to the Tang Dynasty. Tang envoy, traveling between Datang and Xiliang, can be regarded as an explanation to His Majesty the Tang King." Obviously, Her Majesty the Queen is not willing to suffer, and it is necessary to gain some benefits when sending such a large fief for nothing. .

Wu Hong immediately agreed.

Just kidding, delivering tributes may be a chore for ordinary people, but it is like walking on the ground for the scorpion spirit. Even Tathagata has been tricked by her old man. The native demons of the Western Regions, she did not put them in the place at all. in the eyes.

What's more, don't look at just transporting tribute. With the banner of "tribute" on this road, you don't even have to pay customs duties. Generally, Hu merchants enter the customs from the Western Regions all the way to Chang'an City. The cost of transportation to Chang'an City may be several times higher than the value of the goods themselves. However, if it is to transport tribute, not only do you not have to pay these taxes, there will be post stations and local shops along the way. The yamen is responsible for the reception, and with His Majesty Li Er's character of saving face, the yamen's hospitality to foreign missions will only be good or bad.

If Sister Xiezijing brought some valuable goods to sell in Chang'an City along the way, it would really be "three years without opening, and three years after opening".

"You're all getting what you get," Tang Xuanzang sighed to Wu Kong on the way back from Her Majesty the Queen.

"The countries in the Western Regions have long wanted to make friends with the Tang Dynasty, but the distance is far away, and it is not easy to transport the tribute. Not only are there horse thieves along the way, but sometimes there will be troops from other countries pretending to be bandits and robbing the escort team. If you are unlucky, you will die. Can't keep it."

"Her Majesty the Queen can be regarded as caring for her courtiers. Knowing that this is a hard job, she simply appointed Xie Zijing as an idle position as an envoy to the Tang Dynasty. She only needs to travel to the Western Regions twice a year to send the tributes from the Xiliang Women's Kingdom to the King of Tang to the Tang Dynasty. Chang'an City, and bring back the reward from His Majesty the King of Tang. The left and right scorpion spirits bring caravans to and from the Western Regions several times a year, but they just bring some tributes by the way."

The last time they came to Xiliang Women's Country, they lived in a relatively remote place. This time, because Tang Xuanzang is already an official, and he is also the hot favorite in front of His Majesty Li Er, the place to live is more than a little better than last time, spacious A large hall, the courtyard is full of exotic flowers and plants, and there is a spring with more than a dozen red carp in it.

"This is specially prepared by Her Majesty the Queen for the future queen. It's just that the queen has not yet selected a queen, so this palace has been empty. Master Tang has spent a lot of time making friends with the Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty has told them that they must be entertained with the gift of a queen." The official Honglu who was in charge of entertaining them explained.

Tang Xuanzang and Wu Kong looked at each other, and saw the unspeakable embarrassment in each other's eyes: Although they are far away from the plot of the original book, the queen's gift seems to be the same as in the previous life.

"Fortunately, the matter of this territory is settled. Don't be embarrassed, what about the king and the queen? Now we are legally married, and the marriage was bestowed by the king of Tang himself!" Wu Kong comforted him.

"Forget it, no one knows about it. By the way, you sent so many fabrics and candies out, is it okay?" Tang Xuanzang knew that Wu Kong was rarely so generous. To reassure him.After all, after the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Tang Dynasty, the tribute sent to Chang'an City every year is also a big expense. Xiliang women's country is a small land and the products are not abundant. I am afraid that the queen's life will be very difficult. These supplies are said to be life-saving Straw is not too much.

"It's okay, I still have a lot of star coins in my account, just buy it again. This is the last time, after buying this time, I will try not to use my personal terminal." After finishing speaking, Wu Hong urged him to wash up first. He also needs to pack up the river water that he asked for, and bring it back to his mother to drink as soon as possible. My mother is already a super-advanced mother, and pregnancy at this time is really very dangerous.

Wu Kong happened to have a few small porcelain bottles at hand, but the mouth of the porcelain bottles was relatively small, and the river water would often leak down when pouring. He was worried that the carpet would be wet, so Wu Kong took an empty teacup from the tea tray. Under the porcelain vase, half a bowl of river water just filled six small porcelain vases.

"I don't know if this stuff will expire, so I'd better go back and give my mom a drink." Carefully putting away the porcelain bottle, Wu Hong thought that he still had to take the time to visit his old friend Qin Guangwang and say hello.

Just as he was thinking about it, Tang Xuanzang had already washed it out. Wu Kong raised his head, and saw a long, handsome man in ancient costume with loose blue silk coming out from behind the screen. The dark blue cotton gauze robe matched his face. With more and more picturesque features, Boss Wu couldn't help being secretly jealous for three seconds: Even though his mother prepared the same type of nightgown for them both, why does he look like an Indian lady in it?

"What are you doing here? Take a shower and rest, and go to Poison Enemy Mountain tomorrow." Tang Xuanzang urged.

Wu Hao withdrew his eyes mixed with envy and hatred, and ran in to take a bath resentfully.

Elder Tang, who has been resurrected for the first time, cherishes his life very much, and is also very particular about health preservation. Every time he takes a bath, he will sit down and drink a glass of water. Wu Hao has been with him for a while and is familiar with his habit. Every time he pours good water for him Seeing that there was another half cup of water on the coffee table, although he was surprised why only half a cup was poured, Tang Xuanzang still picked up the teacup very sparingly and drank it down in one gulp.
