Chapter five hundred and seventy-ninth game (1)

The fleet sailed back to the Minjiang Pier in Chengdu Prefecture. Zhao Kai stepped off the ship and saw Chen Qing at a glance. Zhao Kai had dealt with Chen Qing when he was appointed envoy to Qinzhou.

He stepped forward and saluted helplessly: "See the official envoy!"

Chen Qing scolded him: "Twenty thousand soldiers are fighting bloody battles with the Jin soldiers. Their families are waiting for military salary to support their families, but Duke Zhao wants to take the money away. Are you doing this worthy of the soldiers fighting on the front line?"

"

Zhao Kai argued: "Beizhi is just following the imperial court's order to transfer tax money back to Lin'an. If the imperial court orders the transfer to Jingzhao, Beizhi will not hesitate to transfer the money and food to Shaanxi. This is Beizhi's duty. Please understand."

!”

"Don't forget, transport envoy, that you are the transport envoy from the capital of Sichuan and Shaanxi. It is also your responsibility to ensure the food and salary of the soldiers on the Shaanxi Road."

Zhao Kai has a hard temper. He looked at Chen Qingdao without fear: "Since Chen Dutong keeps talking about his responsibilities, I don't understand. Chen Dutong is the envoy of Shaanxi Road. No, I remembered wrongly, it is Shaanxi Road."

What does it mean for the envoy of Xuanfu to lead his army to Chengdu now?"

Chen Qing looked at him for a moment and said calmly: "I will ask the emperor to make me the envoy of Sichuan and Shaanxi."

"If that were the case, I would ask to resign!"

Chen Qing nodded, "Please transfer envoy to help me do one thing first. I want to open a large tea horse silk market in Longqing Mansion to circulate supplies from the north to the south."

Zhao Kaixin was very resistant to Chen Qing, but out of a strong sense of responsibility, he tolerated his dissatisfaction and said to Chen Qing: "I have been thinking about opening a large tea horse market for many years. The main reason why it has been difficult to succeed is the road problem.

North-South goods cannot be transported in large quantities.

In addition, too many checkpoints are also a big problem, and businessmen are afraid of difficulties and are reluctant to leave. If these two big problems can be solved, the circulation of materials will flourish."

Chen Qing immediately said: "The transfer envoy reminded me in time. I will immediately order the removal of all checkpoints, including Jianmen Pass, and implement commercial tax exemption in Sichuan and Shaanxi. Then I will invest 100,000 yuan to repair the Shu Road, but the tea horse silk

For the cloth market, I have to ask you to start the transshipment first."

Zhao Kai saw Chen Qing's sincere attitude, and most of his dissatisfaction was eliminated. He nodded and said: "If the tea horse market is to be held, it is recommended to place it in Chengdu Prefecture. Although Longqing Prefecture is the closest to Shu Road, it is inconvenient for Bashu Prefecture.

, the water system here in Chengdu Prefecture is developed, which makes it convenient for merchants from various states to transport goods for trade. I have already chosen the place, which is in the vast wilderness outside Beicheng."

Chen Qing was very anxious. He still had a large amount of materials piled up in the warehouse in Zitong County and had no way to sell them. He was very anxious about the tea and horse market. He quickly said: "Why don't we go and take a look now."

Zhao Kai nodded, "I also hope to do it as soon as possible!"

Chen Qing and his party came to the north of the city. There was indeed a large wasteland in the northeast of the city, covering more than a thousand acres. Chen Qing asked the general judge Li Jong, "May I ask Li Tongpan what this land was originally used for?"

Li Jiong thought for a while and said: "I only know that this land was requisitioned by the military. It seems that Zhang Xuan used it to stockpile supplies."

Zhao Kai couldn't help but interjected: "Li Tongpan is right. This land was handled by me. It was originally woods and wasteland. Later, it was bulldozed to build temporary warehouses. They were all big tents, mainly for grain and grass. Later, they were used by Zhu

My husband demolished it, but the land has always been empty."

Chen Qing pointed to a small river in the distance and asked, "Has that river always been there?"

"It didn't exist before. It was just because of the construction of this warehouse that it was specially dug to transport materials from the Minjiang River."

Chen Qing said happily: "Tomorrow I will send troops to level the land and roads, set up tents, and build camp fences, and then please ask the transit envoy to plan how to arrange the market..."

The two of them seemed to have completely forgotten the unpleasantness when they first met. Zhao Kai nodded, "I have a plan for a long time. I will send it to Chen Dutong later. How do I find Dutong?"

"I'm at the official office of the Xuanfu Envoy, and I'm looking forward to the plan of the Envoy Zhao Zhuan!"

Zhao Kai took the first step. Looking at Zhao Kai walking away, Li Jong said to Chen Qing: "This person is a business wizard and an expert in financial management. If he can become Dutong's subordinate, he will definitely become a great help to Dutong's logistics support."

"I know him, and Zhang Jun values ​​him very much, but I feel that he values ​​the imperial court more."

Li Jiong smiled slightly and said: "Don't I value the imperial court? If the imperial court regards the emperor as rebellious, I think no one in the prefectures and counties of Bashu is willing to do things for the emperor. Therefore, the most important and urgent matter for the emperor is to unify the emperor.

Obtain the approval of the imperial court."

"Does Li Tongpan think the court will approve it?"

Li Jiong said calmly: "I am concerned about whether Mr. Lu will be dismissed as prime minister. As long as Mr. Lu is not dismissed, there will be room for negotiation. I suggested that Chen Dutong take the initiative to write a memorial to the officials.

Clarify your intentions and try not to fall out with the court."

Chen Qing nodded. What Li Jiong said made sense. It was easy to occupy Bashu militarily, but gaining a firm foothold politically was the key. To get Zhao Kai, Li Jiong and other Bashu officials to work for him, he had to capture Sichuan.

The position of Shaanxi Xuanfu Envoy.

His biggest bargaining chip is to cede territory and become emperor, which is what the imperial court and Zhao Gou are most afraid of. Zhao Gou also has a bargaining chip, which is to declare himself a rebel, which is also what he does not want to see.

Therefore, finding a balance between the two bargaining chips depends on the outcome of the negotiations between the two parties.

However, Chen Qing did not agree with Li Jiong's suggestion that he should take the initiative to write a memorial, and he could never give in.

After Zhao Kai returned home, he immediately sent someone to send a market draft to Chen Qing. It was very detailed. If it could be successfully operated and expanded, materials from Jingxiang, Dongting Lake and Dongting Lake could even be attracted to trade.

This made Chen Qing look forward to it, but at this moment, news came that Zhao Kai was ill.

On the fifth day after Chen Qing captured Bashu, rumors began to spread to Lin'an one after another. Mainly from major shops transmitting news through pigeon mail. For example, Baoji Money Shop got the news at the first time, and they immediately called a halt.

A plan was made to transport 10,000 copper coins to Chengdu.

Lu Yihao also received news from his in-law Li Jiong from Chengdu. The pigeon letter was placed on the table. Lu Yihao sat in the study and remained silent. Lu Jin said anxiously: "Father, do you want Chen Qing to write a letter?"

, remind him not to overdo it.”

Lu Yihao glanced at his son and said, "You are overthinking it. It was I who hinted him to do it when he sent troops to occupy Bashu."

Lu Jin was stunned, "Why?"

"For no reason, since we are going to do something big, we should simply make it bigger and have more chips in hand, so that the court can have room for bargaining."

"But he had occupied Shaanxi Road before and shocked the government and the public. Isn't that big enough?"

"You only saw one, but not the other."

Lu Yihao smiled and said: "The government and the public were shocked because he was able to defeat the Jin soldiers with his small skills. The court and officials did not care about Shaanxi Road. It was taken back from the Jin people, so the title was changed from Jing Guogong Duke of Qin, the rank was promoted from Doctor Yinqing Guanglu to Doctor Jinzi Guanglu, do you think this is an emphasis on Chen Qing?"

After a pause, Lu Yihao laughed again: "It's like you have hundreds of acres of land, and a bully took part of it away. After a long time, another person drove the bully away and occupied the land himself. For you, anyway, this A piece of land no longer belongs to you, and you have dealt with the bully just to vent your anger, but if this person continues to cut off another part of your current land, will you jump up in anger? "

"My child understands what his father means. This time Chen Qing captures Sichuan, the officials will be furious!"

"Then what?" Lu Yihao asked again.

"Haier feels that the imperial court will definitely send troops to Bashu to drive Chen Qing out of Sichuan!"

"But what if I can't get it back?"

Lu Jin was speechless for a moment.

Lu Yihao smiled slightly and said: "When the imperial court is beaten to a bloody head, they will consider negotiating."

"What should father do now?" Lu Jin asked after a moment of silence.

Lu Yihao smiled lightly, "What I have to do now is to immediately admit my illness and resign from the position of prime minister."
