The merchants in Yumenguan City are undergoing changes and secret taunts are surging. For Liu Hu, the city's defender and internal affairs officer, it is a happy thing to see.

Revitalizing the economy and maximizing the flow of goods from the Western Regions to Liangzhou were the most important tasks Zeng Yu entrusted to this confidant who once controlled the pro-military captain's mansion.

Liu Hu did not live up to his boss's hope. He implemented Zeng Yu's orders very well. Not only did he expand Yumen Pass, a grand pass that had existed since ancient times, five times, but he also personally led the camel cavalry to eliminate banditry within a hundred miles of Yumen Pass.

This greatly increased the enthusiasm of businessmen from the Western Regions.

Of course, this city is managed by Liu Hu, a high-ranking general in Liangzhou, and it should naturally become an administrative city independent of Jiuquan County, not just a former military fortress.

But that's it. From the perspective of many people, it is still a bit aggrieved that someone who was once the top leader of the pro-military governor's palace and a confidant who started his career with Zeng Yu came to be a manager in a border city.

However, Liu Hu still enjoys working here. The vast Gobi Desert has a rough, heroic and majestic charm that deeply conquered his heart at first sight.

Looking up, the desert is endless, and it is impossible to measure how vast the Gobi is with your eyes! As far as the eye can see, the corrugated sand dunes are undulating, and clusters of camels are walking on them, matching the hazy layers on the edge of the sky.

Margin, what a magnificent picture is this?

Being able to rule such an area, Liu Hu felt that this was a gift from God. This was several times better than the environment of the pro-military Duwei Mansion who lived in the dark side all day long!

Moreover, judging from the development prospects of Yumen Pass, it is impossible to be limited to this border fortress!

The starless night did not affect the fortress that was gradually transformed into a commercial city. Hundreds of thousands of torches in the city illuminated the entire city.

Standing on the city wall, Liu Hu watched the movements inside and outside the city, with a hint of emotion on his face. It may take many years for the sea to turn into mulberry fields, but a military fortress purely used for defense is transformed into a towering city.

It takes less than a year to build a commercial city above the border.

Simply using defense to defend the enemy is an extremely outdated idea! Liu Hu turned his vision to the dark and chaotic place in front, and a **** smile appeared on the corner of his mouth! There was a desert in front of him! That's right! But behind the desert was

The thirty-six countries in the Western Regions are extremely rich, and behind the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions is the rich Persian Empire! What a vast territory this is? If you can conquer those places with your own hands just by checking them on the map

, how exciting would that be?

Border pass? No! Yumen Pass will no longer be a border pass in the future! With the expansion of the ambitions of Hu Ce Mansion, with the economic prosperity of commerce, and with the friendship and exchange between the Western Regions and the Han Dynasty, there are rich places that can only be shown on the map in the past.

, will all become the territory of Hu Ce Mansion!

This is Liu Hu's firm belief! It is also Zeng Yu's promise to Liu Hu. The first Han cavalry to plant a flag in the Western Regions belongs to Huce Mansion! The first governor of the Western Regions will belong to Liu Hu!

Why is it said that commerce is the prelude to conquering territory? Liu Hu, who has stayed at Yumen Pass for more than half a year, has deeply understood the meaning of Zeng Yu and the blueprint he drew. Territory begins with the Thirty-Six Kingdoms of the Western Regions, and people here are engaged in business.

Most of them have no sense of belonging to the country, and even

It can be said that money is the country of the people of the Western Regions! They divide the human class, or divide the status of titles, official positions, etc., all based on the amount of money of the property owners. The rich can be in the thirty-sixth century

The country is free and easy, but the king's guests and those without money can hardly move!

Zeng Yu used Yumen Pass as a starting point to expand trade, which was bound to attract countless people from the Western Regions who wanted to make a fortune. This not only enriched the materials in Liangzhou, but also made it easier for Liangzhou to peek into the Western Regions. In which era, which era No country will be short of leading parties. People from the Western Regions who believe in money can do anything as long as they have money! Conquering the thirty-six countries is just a matter of time.

When Liu Hu met Hu Tianyi on the city wall, who was introduced by the visitor, he was even more convinced of this judgment! Even the country was jealous of the profits earned by the merchants in Liangzhou. It can be seen that the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions are just a group of people. They are just greedy people! They will always be trampled deeply by Liangzhou and become one of the conquered!

Hu Tianyi, who was guided by the solicitor to come to discuss matters with the big shot in Liangzhou, certainly didn't know that the seemingly amiable big shot in front of him was actually thinking about how to acquire the territory of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions... ...He was simply surprised. It turned out that this seemingly inconspicuous guard at Yumen Pass was actually a close aide of Liangzhou Mu Zengyu, and he was once the captain of the pro-military Duwei Mansion, the largest secret service agency in Liangzhou! Power and authority So overwhelming!

As for why such a big man was reduced to serving as a guard in a border city like Yumen Pass? In Hu Tianyi's simple brain cells, he thought that this noble man must be in a tight situation, offended the ministers around Liangzhou Mu, and was just temporarily depressed! From Yumen Pass, he came recently The degree of development can also be seen. This noble man actually foolishly transformed a majestic border city into a commercial city. It can be seen that he has reached a certain level of poverty! It doesn't matter, now that he calls Tianyi to sponsor this noble man, he will definitely support him. He returned to the central place of Liangzhou! And in return, the weapons of the Dayue clan can also flow into the Liangzhou army smoothly, right? As long as the weapons of the Dayue clan can be sold into the Liangzhou army, then he calls Tianyi can earn back the small amount of money he invested a hundred times, a thousand times, or ten thousand times.

He thought very well, and after a brief exchange of greetings, he said to Liu Hu very enthusiastically: "We, the Yuezhi, have steel that is harder than diamonds and tougher than Kucha steel. We can make weapons that cut iron like mud and blow hair off." Fa is the strongest commodity in these troubled times! As long as the general is willing to support us! We Da Yueshi will fully support the general in returning to the center of Liangzhou and regaining the right to speak in the pro-army Duwei Mansion! One hundred thousand, one hundred thousand Thousands of gold is no longer a problem!"

Liu Hu despised the businessman in front of him who always talked about money. The smell of copper that could not be concealed almost made Liu Hu faint!

How can official positions in Liangzhou be bought with money? Based on this calculation, wouldn't all of these big businessmen from the Western Regions be able to become high-ranking officials in Liangzhou?

For the businessman in front of him, for the captain who was born in the pro-military Duwei Mansion, there is almost no secret at all. He is a person who can be used, Liu Hu thought so when he handed over the name invitation, but when this businessman When Liu Hu actually came in front of him, Liu Hu came up with another definition: a vulgar businessman who can be exploited...

Liu Hu never had a good look towards vulgar businessmen. With a heavy nasal snort, he interrupted Hu Tianyi's chatter, "Why should I, as a general, have to dictate to you what kind of official he should be or should not be?" Is it possible that I, the general, should also call you "Lord"? A businessman is a businessman, and he is full of money, but he still dares to bribe in public? How can he do big things? "

Being pressured by Liu Hu, the gloomy smell of blood rushed out. Hu Tianyi felt his whole body tremble, and his whole body felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. Only then did he understand his abruptness!

The man in front of me was a big shot who had controlled the Imperial Guard's Mansion. How could a foreign businessman like himself be able to plan his future?

"Forgive me, General! I offended you in the next moment and spoke carelessly. I hope General will not care about the faults of others..." Hu Tianyi is also a smart person. Seeing that Liu Hu just said it seriously, he did not rebuke him any more.

, knowing that there was something going on, he immediately nodded his head like a fool, and apologized with a smile on his face...

Liu Hu's eyes narrowed: "If you forgive me, I'm a guest from afar! You merchants from the Western Regions are all our distinguished guests from Liangzhou, so it's understandable that you speak indiscriminately for a while! I just hope you won't use this kind of behavior again in the future.

Tell the obvious bribery words to others! The ugly words are ahead. We in Liangzhou are famous among the people for being honest! You businessmen in the Western Regions actually use money to guide your behavior. If you dare to cause this kind of trend to spread, don't blame it.

I will be ruthless!"

"Yes, what the General said makes sense! I just arrived here for the first time and don't know the etiquette of the Han people. I will definitely not dare to say it again next time!" Hu Tianyi breathed a sigh of relief. The money he was proud of did not receive the expected harvest, but instead attracted a lot of attention.

Being scolded and directly labeled as bribery... inevitably made him feel a little disappointed. The cold wind hovering in the air blew on his body. Not only could he not feel the coolness of the late autumn, but he felt as hot as summer in his heart.

Liu Hu was too lazy to worry about what he was thinking. These businessmen were a little unscrupulous under the opening of Yumen Pass. How dare they use their methods of opening roads with money in the Western Regions in Liangzhou? The fans of the pro-military Duwei Mansion are specifically targeting bribery.

There is a special torture chamber for taking bribes! If this businessman does not listen to the advice, he will be caught and punished before he can truly experience it. At the moment, Liu Hu just wants to see how much profit he can squeeze out of this businessman.

"Hu Tianyi, merchant from Dayue Kingdom in the Western Regions? Since you are a merchant, you know very well that we in Liangzhou have our own official and merchant association to do business with you. How did you find me?" Liu Hu's narrowed eyes reflected the city.

The flickering firelight on both sides, the eyes that seemed to be as dark and destructive as a desert wolf, and the words that made it difficult to understand, made Hu Tianyi tremble with fear.

Such a vicious look? Sure enough, this is a spy leader who often kills people! Hu Tianyi swallowed a sip of saliva and said cautiously: "I am not here for personal gain, but to broker the communication between Liangzhou and our Dayue Kingdom.

Come! I have been entrusted by the king of Dayue Kingdom to reach an agreement on material mutual assistance with your Yumen Pass! Moreover, it is definitely an agreement that will not cause you to suffer losses here!"

"Let the weapons made by your Qiuci Kingdom flow into our Liangzhou military?" Liu Hu heard this fat businessman say it once before, and he sarcastically thought that this was too naive. All the troops directly under Liangzhou were in the army.
