Chapter 303: Tiger and Wolf Division

"Even so, we are still not convinced by those businessmen who spent money to buy titles." Chang Ningguo said weakly, his tone no longer so tough.

"Stupid. Can they be like you?" Fang Xuanling shouted angrily.

Du Ruhui on the side said: "Your titles are hereditary, and there are also fiefs. Their title is just a title, no fiefs, no salary."

"Let's put it bluntly, the title that merchants get from buying their heads is just a title given by the court and nothing else. Can this be compared with you?"

"The most important thing is that you would speculate so much on the court and His Majesty. This makes His Majesty very angry and sad."

Du Ru said a lot of words in a flurry, which made Marquis Changning and others break out in cold sweat.

"Your Majesty, I forgive you. I did not speculate on the court or your Majesty. I am just dissatisfied and dissatisfied."

"Yes, we are just dissatisfied. We did not speculate on Your Majesty or the court. Please forgive us."

For a moment, they all knelt down in fear and begged for mercy, pretending that Li Er was still there even if he was no longer there.

Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty is not upstairs, so you don't have to do this."

"We realize that we are wrong, and I would like to ask a few adults to speak kindly for me in front of His Majesty."

"Yes, please speak kindly to His Majesty, sir."

"..."

Changsun Wuji waved his hand and said: "Everyone, get up. His Majesty will not blame you. His Majesty knows that you are not convinced. In order to convince you, he sent three of us to explain to you. At the same time, he does not want such a thing to happen in Chang'an again."

"Definitely, definitely, we will never make a mistake again, we will never make a mistake again." Marquis Changning was the first to promise.

Fang Xuanling and others were very satisfied with their attitude and nodded slowly.

Fang Xuanling spoke again: "Okay, now you take your sons and apologize to the businessmen who were beaten and scolded by your bastards."

"Yes, yes, yes. We are going now, we are going now."

Chang Ning'an took his son and ran away. He understood the cause and effect of this incident and knew that it was his fault and others, so it was better to leave quickly.

"Dad, let's just let this matter go? Your Majesty, won't you blame us for coming?" Changninghou's son asked when he saw that they could no longer see Changsun Wuji and others.

Marquis Changning nodded and said, "Since His Majesty said so, he will definitely not pursue this matter any further. Come on, come with me to apologize to those businessmen."

"Oh, okay."

The son of Marquis Changning also knew that the imperial court's policy was aimed at improving the welfare of the soldiers, so these businessmen could not be offended, at least not now, because the imperial court would still rely on them to complete this decree.

We are currently attacking the Turks, and there will definitely be many casualties, and the government's pension will definitely not be large, but those businessmen have a lot of money, which can keep those soldiers fed and clothed for a lifetime.

Therefore, the imperial court will never allow anyone to threaten this group of businessmen at this time. This group of businessmen is the focus of protection at this time and must not be compromised.

The imperial court actually did that. After Li Er returned to the palace, he issued an imperial edict that no one could insult merchants at will, and violators would be severely punished.

The merchants were also confused. When had the imperial court ever valued them? Today, not only was there an imperial edict to protect them, but a group of nobles also apologized and compensated them.

Some people don't understand, but some people understand, Chao

Ting showed favor to them at this time because he needed their money, and they needed the name of the court.

Now, if they work together, they both benefit, and if they separate, they both suffer.

Chang'an City once again showed its prosperity.

The happiest people among the people were the traders, who had sold almost all of their squeezed inventory. The happiest people for the imperial court were the Ministry of Household Affairs, which had made millions of dollars in revenue in the past few days.

Li Er was also very happy. His imperial merchants also sold a lot of goods and made hundreds of thousands of dollars.

This is simply a joy for everyone.

Chang'an City has caravans of different sizes leaving the city every day. They all go to the same place and have only one destination, which is the commercial and trade zone built by Wang Ning'an outside the customs. It is now called Ningxiang Commercial and Trade Zone or Ningxiang City.

.

…

After half a month of raids, the population of Ningxiang City increased to 5,000, including 1,200 cavalry.

One thousand two hundred cavalry is nothing, but one thousand two hundred tiger and wolf troops cannot be underestimated.

One thousand and two hundred elite soldiers can destroy a small country in the Western Regions, and can also pose a certain threat to Xue Yantuo.

If it is a warrior of 1,200 tigers and wolves, then he is the most terrifying one. Every soldier is a king of soldiers, one against ten, even against fifty, against a hundred.

To defeat such a group of tiger and wolf warriors, Xue Yantuo would need to deploy a hundred times his troops, and he would have to kill them entirely with human lives.

At this time, Wang Ning'an was building a tiger and wolf team.

Yuchi Gong stood aside and swallowed as he looked at Xue Yantuo's soldiers who were training beyond their limits.

"Ning'an, you are planning to build a tiger and wolf army."

Wang Ning'an on the side nodded and said: "Yes, that's what I planned. There is no city wall here, and it is very difficult to protect it. So I need a strong army.

In fact, what I want to achieve most is to turn all the people into soldiers, but that's not possible. This is a commercial district, and ordinary people have become soldiers and go into battle to kill the enemy. Can this commercial and trade district still be opened?

So I can only do the next best thing and build a tiger and wolf army. As long as this tiger and wolf army can suppress the invading thieves at the critical moment, then this place will be safe."

But

"I understand everything you said, but there is one thing that I am very worried about. What if this tiger and wolf army does not listen to your orders? At that time, this tiger and wolf army will become a serious problem for Datang."

Yuchi Gong asked worriedly.

Wang Ning'an chuckled lightly and said, "Huh, Uncle Yuchi, you think too much. They will never betray me."

"How do you know it won't happen? Do you know that people's hearts are separated from each other?"

"I know this, so I never knew that the young prince has seen so many things that should be seen and things that should not be seen. How should I deal with you?" Wang Ning, you left Li Jianshan who had been following Yuchi Gong.

"Don't make trouble." Yu Chigong interrupted Wang Ning'an's joke, "I'm talking to you about serious matters."

"Uncle Yuchi, people's hearts are separated from each other! You and I have no way of knowing what our little prince is thinking in his heart?" Wang Ning'an said with a chuckle.

Li Jianshan, who had been silent all this time, said secretly: "Finally, we came to the door."

He said calmly: "Consort, what happened in the past has passed, so please don't bury me anymore."

Yuchi Gong also said to me: "He has been really well-behaved recently and has not left my sight for half a step."

"Haha... Just kidding. Be active.

It will lower the atmosphere." Wang Ning'an smiled and said, "I know that the young prince is a lot more honest, but people's hearts are different. Being honest now does not mean being honest in the future.

Just because you don’t plot to harm me now doesn’t mean you won’t plot to harm me in the future. People’s hearts are apart. Do you think so? My young prince.”

Li Jianshan smiled awkwardly and said, "If the consort doesn't believe me, the worst he can do is lock me up."

"No, locking me up is useless. It's actually very simple to know if the young prince will have any ill intentions towards me."

"Oh, I wonder how the consort can eliminate his doubts about me?"

Yuchi Gongye also said: "If you have a way, you should have told me earlier. Do you know how uncomfortable it feels to have such a kid next to me every day?"

Wang Ning'an smiled slightly and said: "Uncle Yuchi, if I tell you a way, you may not be so calm."

"Tell me and listen."

Wang Ning'an pointed to the cavalry that was being trained and said: "My young prince, I will leave this cavalry of a thousand people to you to command."

"Why?"

"No."

The former question was from Li Jianshan, and the latter question was from Yu Chigong. He refused directly and did not allow Wang Ning'an to do that.

Wang Ning'an said: "What am I talking about, Uncle Yuchi, you will definitely not be calm."

"You brat, this is a tiger and wolf army. No one can touch your tiger and wolf army, and no one can give it to anyone." Yu Chigong said with bulging eyes.

Wang Ning'an waved his hand and said: "Elite soldiers need strong generals, and now the only ones here who can be called strong generals are the young prince, except Uncle Yuchi.

Uncle Yuchi needs to protect me and at the same time manage the army and cannot move. Therefore, there are only five young princes suitable."

"Can't you do it yourself?" Yu Chigong asked.

Wang Ning'an shook his head and said: "No, I am good at training troops and marching and forming formations, but I cannot go into battle to kill the enemy. In the following days, I will basically face fighting every day. You can't let me go into battle to kill the enemy."

Believe me, once I go to the battlefield, I will definitely be in trouble."

Yuchi Gong nodded. He knew that Wang Ning'an was weak and pitiful. In the past, Cheng Yaojin could knock him out with just one slap.

"There is no problem in going into battle to kill the enemy, but why are you so sure, Prince Consort, that there will be fighting every day in the future?" Li Jianshan asked.

"Yes, how did you know?" Yu Chigong echoed.

Wang Ning'an rolled his eyes and said, "Did you two forget where we are?"

"Isn't it Xue Yantuo? We've been here for so long and they haven't even come to our door. Could it be that they will attack now?" Yu Chigong asked in confusion.

Wang Ning'an said: "Don't forget, Xue Yantuo was attacked by Jieli Khan at the beginning, and they were too late to resist with all their strength, so they had no time to pay attention to us.

Our military god, Li Jing, and General Li sent troops to Xue Yantuo just to help Xue Yantuo resist the Turks.

Now that so much time has passed, the battle is almost over, the general is probably chasing Jieli, and Xue Yantuo now has time to send troops to deal with us."

"It makes sense. We first occupied this place in the name of the Turks, and then we used the name of the Renyi Division of the Tang Dynasty to help everyone and occupy this place.

But for us, the name is unfair and unfair, so we cannot use the name of Datang and can only rely on ourselves." Yu Chigong analyzed, and as he continued to analyze, the sweat on his forehead became more and more, and he looked at Wang Ning'an's
