Chapter 165: If you want to be rich, you must first build a road

The dragon has reverse scales, and it will perish when it touches it. In fact, everyone has their own bottom line. Yu Wen has never thought he was a good person. Yang Wen was as kind as a mountain to him, but he personally sent Yang Guang to the west.

Yu Wenhe has killed many people, from 80-year-old men to babies under the age of one year. As long as his interests are endangered, he will never be ruthless. When Dou Jiande vowed to kill him to avenge Yang Guang, but when he took action, his personal guards helped Yu Wenhe and regain his life from the Hall of Hell. Although his appearance was destroyed and most of his body was burned by fire, he survived.

At the beginning, he committed himself to the shogunate of Li Xiaosi and Li Yuanji and acted as Li Yuanji's aide. In fact, Yu Wenhua and his favorites were not favored by Li Yuanji at all, and he was perfunctory to Li Yuanji. If one day he couldn't do it, he would leave. Of course, he actually didn't want to destroy the balance between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng.

However, this time, the struggle between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng touched his negative scales. In Yu Wen Hua and his eyes, Yu Wen Zhaoyi was like an angel. However, this girl who was not in conflict with the world and could even be said to be not many scheming and scheming was the conscience of the entire Yu Wen family. She was kind and always enthusiastically helped others when she met a beggar at the door. When she met a homeless child, she also sent clothes and food. She even took in no less than 500 homeless orphans and abandoned children in the farm outside Chang'an City.

However, whenever I think of my sister's disaster, Yu Wen and his heart are like a knife.

Revenge must be revenge!

Don’t think that there is no one in the Yuwen family. Your younger brother Yuwen is not good enough. Although he is a little bit powerful, he is not cruel enough.

Li Yuanji listened to the news that was like a thunderbolt, and said in a daze: "What did you say, how could this be possible?"

"There is nothing impossible. In this world, as long as there is enough profit, a person's left hand can betray his right hand!" Yu Wenhe said with a ferocious look on his face: "If the prince was guilty when Yang Wengan rebelled, do you know the result?"

Li Yuanji still couldn't accept this result for a while.

He fought with Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, and he had the intention of catching up with fishing. However, he really didn't expect that Li Shimin would be so despicable and vulgar. Even if Yuwen Zhaoyi was young, he was their concubine's mother. He was simply worse than a beast to put his mind on his concubine's mother!

Li Yuanji smiled bitterly and said, "It's a pity that there is no evidence. I know my father. Even if the second child does this, my father believes it. He will never make any statement. He will only downplay it. It's amazing to send the second child..."

"No!" Yu Wenhuaji turned to Li Yuanji and said, "I know that you are very concerned about that position. I have a plan to eliminate the King of Qin and abolish the prince. You are the only one who will eventually ascend to the great treasure."

A trace of excitement flashed in Li Yuanji's eyes. Although he tried his best to hide it, he did not avoid Yu Wenhuaji's gaze. Li Yuanji suppressed his excitement and asked, "I'm afraid I'm going to do something so much, sir, I'm afraid I'm going to help me so much? If you still want to build a big Xu, it's impossible. I want to ascend to the great treasure, but I don't want to be pointed by thousands of people!"

"My descendants are destroyed and my sons are dead. What's the point of getting into that position?" Yu Wenhua and laughed and said, "I only ask you three things. After Li Shimin's death, he will not keep any of his sons and concubines!"

Li Yuanji struggled for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!"

Yu Wenji also said: "Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Yu Zhining, Su Shichang, Xue Shou, Chu Liang, Lu Deming, Yao Silian, Kong Yingda, Xue Yuanjing, Gaiwenda, Su Xu and others will not be allowed to serve in the office for life!"

Li Yuanji said: "That's OK!"

Yu Wenhe finally said: "In the Changsun family, I want them men to be servants for generations, and women to be prostitutes for generations..."

With Yu Wenji's head, it is easy to think that the person who gave Li Shimin this plan was not the so-called 18th bachelor of the Qin Palace, but Li Shimin's uncle Changsun Wuji, because only he was so sinister. Only Changsun Wuji always used any means to achieve his goal.

Li Yuanji said: "What do I want to do?"

Yu Wenji said: "You bend over!"

Yu Wenghe whispered softly in front of Li Yuanji, and Li Yuanji's face became more and more excited.

...

Time was bored in the snow and ice. When the long winter passed and the spring grass began to sprout tender buds, Li Xiuning finally arrived in the Western Regions, which made Chen Ying extremely happy. Li Xiuning and Li Daozhen did not fight, but the two lived a harmonious life. But what made Chen Ying extremely embarrassed was that his two sons had no favors for him, the father.

Chen Ying didn't care. It was certain that he would admit his child. After all, he didn't take care of his two sons. In Chen Ying's opinion, raising a son is similar to raising a dog. If you treat a dog, you will be good to you. His son has never taken care of him. Don't expect his son to have any good face to him.

What Chen deserves is time.

With the arrival of the sixth year of Wude, the economy of the Western Regions also entered the fast lane. The Western Regions were originally the intersection of the East and West Silk Road. The land transportation in the Western Regions was very convenient, the land was quite fertile, and the minerals were abundant. As long as it was properly managed, it was not difficult to become a prosperous place.

The irrigation system in the Western Regions has been greatly improved. Water trucks, ditches, irrigation wells and kaner wells are blooming everywhere, which has completely solved the problem of irrigation water. In addition, there is a large supply of primitive fertilizers, bone meals, and farm fertilizers, and grain output has been greatly improved. It can be foreseeable that this year, agriculture in the Western Regions, whether it is military fields or ordinary farmland, will usher in a rare bumper harvest.

In terms of economy, Nanyang also achieved fruitful results. Large projects attracted a large number of refugees to find employment opportunities. A large number of novel products were launched one after another. Merchants from all over the world came to look for business opportunities. The high-quality cotton produced in a large number of products became popular goods. Many Hu merchants purchased a large amount of purchases and placed orders one after another. In the sixth year of Wude, Chen Ying decided to force cotton planting, and the people spontaneously planted more than 2 million acres of cotton. In order to get cotton, many Hu merchants had to buy them according to the land and recruited workers to be responsible for picking and processing. As long as the people planted them in the field, they could get money.

Apart from cotton, the second type of short-term goods is actually high-quality canned food. Canned food is not very attractive to the Hu merchants in the Western Regions. However, canned food can keep the freshness of fruits and vegetables, which makes sailors who make life on the sea in this era very much like this. In fact, there are no maritime merchants in this era. Most of them are like Zhang Zhongjian, who buy money without money at sea. Money is just a number for them.

In this era, it was very difficult to make a living at sea. The fresh water and meat carried by sea merchants were difficult to store for too long. Even bacon would soon cause maggots, which made people disgusting. The canned food would not break even after being stored for a year. It was simply tailor-made for those of them who were rushing around in the wind and waves!

The prices of canned food in the Western Regions have been rising. The most popular ones are all kinds of canned fruits and canned vegetables, which are sold more expensive than canned meat. More and more merchants come to the door to waving cash to find a source of goods. No matter how high the price is, they are willing to do so, making the merchants who opened canned factories together laugh from ear to ear.

Chen Ying had never held any decent military operations in the Western Regions. Even the army was carrying the roads in the Western Regions. While building roads, Chen Ying also did bad things, such as asking people to quarry and carve steles. These mined stone tablets were buried deep under the Tang Dynasty soldiers along the way.

"Where the rivers reach and the sun and the moon shine, they are all ministers and concubines of the rivers!"

"In the second year of Yuanshou, General Huo drank the horses!"

"In July of the second year of Yuanshou, General Huo defeated the Huns and defeated the Northern Dragon Court!"

"In August of the second year of Yuanshou, General Huo ordered the general's platform!"

This is actually Chen Ying's spoof, he is just doing it anyway. If he has the chance in the future, he will be planning to bury General Huo's deeds on the side of the Caspian Sea.

The most important thing is the economic development of the Western Regions.

At this time, the roads in the Western Regions were all made of asphalt roads, and the black and long roads allowed Hu merchants of all ethnic groups in the Western Regions to enjoy the convenience, and also allowed Chen Ying to accept the toll.

If you are willing to take a detour, Chen Ying can do it. Without tax receipts, all cities in the Western Regions are not allowed to enter. With such overbearing clauses, Hu merchants of all ethnic groups have to pay taxes to Chen Ying.

Having money in hand, Chen Ying was crazy about building roads.

Chen Ying took the clear statement from later generations to the extreme. If you want to be rich, you must first build roads!

Even Li Xiuning couldn't stand Chen Ying's crazy way of building roads.

She asked in confusion: "Langjun, why do you have to build so many roads?"

"The road is a good thing!" Chen Ying smiled and said, "You, our Gaochang City has more than 1,800 miles from Yiwu City. When the road was not built, it would take at least one month or even longer for the caravan to go from Gaochang to Yiwu. However, now they only need five days. If they buy two horses, a four-wheeled carriage, and pull three thousand kilograms of goods, they can run to Yiwu within three or four days. If this road is built to Chang'an, it will be transported by horse carriage day and night, and from Chang'an to Gaochang, it will be at most one month!"

Li Xiuning's eyes began to flash: "What do you mean is this road shorter the distance?"

The biggest problem of the Tang Dynasty was that the territory was too large. In its heyday, the Tang Dynasty, from the easternmost Protectorate of Andong to the westernmost Protectorate of Anxi, was more than 26,000 miles away. If the transportation speed of this era was used, even if the elite army marched, it would be eliminated from the easternmost to the westernmost for at least a year as soon as possible.

If such roads run through the entire Tang Dynasty, once the rebellion is launched in the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will issue mobilization orders from Chang'an, and the army can reach the entire Tang Dynasty for up to one month, and there will be no time to give the rebels a breath.

Chen Ying nodded and said, "You are thinking well. The road is shortening the distance! Actually, this is only part of the reason!"

Li Xiuning said: "What other reasons?"
