Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Page 639

After thinking about it, the more I thought about it, the more I was amazed by Guo Ye's idea, and he sighed sincerely: "Mr. Guo, the little girl can only admire and admire at this time! If you come to take charge of Changlefang Big Bank, maybe within five years, we The bank can really be opened all over the north and south of the river, and every inch of land in the Tang Dynasty."

Guo Ye raised his brows arrogantly when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "What if we open our bank all over the north and south of the river, and all over the ten roads and 360 states of the Tang Dynasty? This is not my grand ambition. We can actually do better. In the future , our goal is to connect the world, even for the imperial court..."

At this point, Guo Ye's words stopped abruptly, and he didn't say any more.

I also secretly blamed myself for not covering my mouth, why dare to say anything?

Yu Nuannuan saw that Guo Ye was talking but not talking, and asked curiously: "Connecting the world? What does this mean? And what else can our bank do for the court? How can Mr. Guo talk and talk?"

Guo Ye made a haha, and said with a smile: "haste makes waste, let's do the things in front of us first, and when the day comes, Guo will definitely tell the grand plan in my heart and share with you all." share together!"

I'm trying to keep my mouth shut again, to tantalize my appetite!

Everyone has long been familiar with the strangeness, isn't this the nature of Guo Ye?

Even the elder brother-in-law Chai Lingwen, who Guo Ye didn't want to see, praised him sincerely: "Nuan Nuan is actually right. If Guo Ye comes to take charge of our Changlefang Bank, our money and future will be bright!"

Guo Ye has somewhat changed his mind about this uncle who doesn't like to see him, and said with a smile: "Guo is used to being idle, let Miss Nuan Nuan work hard. In terms of doing it myself, being careful, and being careful, Miss Nuan Nuan was raped by Guo Mou." One hundred times, it is more appropriate to manage the Changlefang Bank for us!"

He paused for a while, then smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "Guo, it's still suitable to come up with ideas later. Do you think so?"

Just kidding, he doesn't want to show his face to start a bank, let's not talk about the newspapers that have distracted him from his energy, besides, his brother Guo's ambition is to go straight to the top and live in the temple!

Promotion is the main thing, to get rich, you can only take the initiative to get out of the way.

Seeing Guo Ye's insistence, Yu Nuannuan could only smile wryly and said, "Since the three of you are so lazy, then the little girl is reluctant?"

Guo Ye chuckled dryly, stretched out his hand and said, "Miss Nuannuan is also a talent in latitude and longitude, those who are capable work harder, and those who are capable live here! Hey, it's hard work!"

Naturally, Chai Lingwen and Liang Shuyu wished to be able to use the name of the owner of the bank to stay by Yu Nuannuan's side all day long, and promised to compliment him again and again.

At this time, Yu Nuannuan asked, getting back to business: "Mr. Guo, your newspaper will open in three or two days, and I hope you will worry about the advertising of the bank. , Back to the road, we naturally can't let you be responsible for the loss alone, contribute your efforts and money, right? For the specific amount, you can send someone to send me the account book at that time!"

Guo Ye thought, so proactive?Grandma, the first advertisement of Laozi newspaper was so easy, what a great success!

Immediately smiled and nodded and said: "The advertising cost is not too much. It's easy to talk about, it's easy to talk about."

bang~~

Boom, boom boom~~

bang~~

Suddenly, there were bursts of gongs and drums not far from the window, the sound of beating cymbals, and shouts of "Eagle Yang" and "Mighty" came from time to time.

It seems that there is a procession passing by...

Guo Ye thought, what's the matter?Could it be that something major happened in Chang'an City?

Seeing Guo Ye's curious face, he turned his head and looked out of the window from time to time, and Chai Lingwen next to him reminded: "It seems that your news is not very well-informed. Today is the Tubo prince Duo Chiluo who led the Tubo mission to leave and return to Tubo. day."

"Oh?"

Guo Ye was surprised and said: "Leaving so soon? It seems that the little Tubo prince's injury is almost healed, hahahaha..."

Guo Ye thought it was funny when he thought of the messy scene in which the young prince of Tubo, Dochiluo, was besieged by ten Tibetan mastiffs in the dog fighting contest that day, fell to the ground and bitten.

Chai Lingwen didn't know what Guo Ye was happy about, but asked a few people gossip: "This time the Tubo people lost [-] miles of land to our Datang. Do you know who your Majesty sent to Tubo this time to represent our Datang and the Tang Dynasty?" Are they delivering?"

Yu Nuannuan and Liang Shuyu were not very curious, after all, they were not very interested in the affairs of the court.

On the contrary, Guo Ye asked with great interest: "Who is it? You must be an unknown person who can represent us in Datang and negotiate with the Tubo people?"

Chapter 497 A Huge Return Visiting Group

Chai Lingwen stood up and came to the window, looking at the street next to Changlefang, he could vaguely see the long line of long queues walking slowly on the street, with the flags flying and fluttering with the wind!

He raised his finger and pointed to the team in the distance, and said: "This time, Your Majesty asked Li Ke, the king of Shu, to lead a delegation to visit Tubo, and go to Luoxie to discuss with the Tubo court about the transfer of the eight hundred miles of land. Not only did the king of Shu personally lead our Tang mission, but also Xiao Yu's eldest son, Xiao Shen, eldest son of Changsun Wuji's family, eldest son, Sun Chong, Fang Xuanling's eldest son, Fang Yizhi, and others were sent to assist His Highness Shuzhong."

"Li Ke, King of Shu?"

Guo Ye was a little surprised. This King of Shu was not born to Empress Changsun, but the former Sui princess and His Majesty Li Er, and he was considered an outstanding figure among the crown princes.

He not only lamented, but His Majesty Li Er was so generous that he actually sent his son to negotiate with the Tubo people.

Moreover, Xiao Shen, Chang Sun Chong, Fang Yizhi and others were sent to accompany them. This lineup is not small, and they are all the eldest sons of important ministers in the court. It seems that they want to experience these people and let them go on missions. Tubo plated with gold.

It seems that the current king of Shu, Li Ke, is a few years younger than the prince Li Chengqian, right?At best, he was only twelve or thirteen years old?Can such a half-grown child negotiate with the Tubo people for Datang and successfully hand over the land?

Moreover, it's not that Guo Ye underestimates people. Although Changsun Chong, Xiao Shen, Fang Yizhi and others are famous in Chang'an for their talents, it's a bit young to go to foreign countries to negotiate with Tibetans, right?

Seeing Guo Ye's suspicious expression, Chai Lingwen continued: "This is not the only thing. In addition to sending His Highness the King of Shu and these young talents, the Holy Majesty also appointed General Zuo Jinwuwei and Hejian County King Li Xiaogong as envoys." The deputy envoy of the regiment led three thousand Jinwu guards to set off with him. How could your majesty let His Royal Highness the king of Shu go into danger alone?"

General Zuo Jinwuwei, Li Xiaogong, King of Hejian County?

Guo Ye had a slight impression of this person. According to historical records, this person, like Jiangxia King Li Daozong, belonged to the imperial family of the Tang Dynasty.

Strictly speaking, His Majesty Li Er had to call him his cousin.

Similarly, this person is also the founding father of the Tang Dynasty, with great military exploits, and he is one of the 24 heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.

But Li Xiaogong was not trusted or loved by His Majesty Li Er.Therefore, the same cousins, Li Daozong was named the King of Jiangxia, but Li Xiaogong only got the title of Hejian County King, and the title was obviously one step lower.

The reason why His Majesty Li Er didn't like Li Xiaogong was not because of his lack of ability, on the contrary, this person's ability to lead an army in battle was no less than Li Daozong's.

The real reason is because Li Xiaogong likes to seize power too much, especially the power of commanding troops.

Li Daozong is capable, but addicted to money.

Li Xiaogong is capable, but loves commanding troops.

May I ask His Majesty Li Er, how could he trust and love his restless cousin?

Therefore, after the world was pacified, Li Xiaogong never sent Chang'an to command troops to fight. On the contrary, he only got the real power post of General Zuo Jinwuwei.

Jinwu Guard is one of the sixteen guards of the Tang Dynasty.

What is Zuo Jinwu Guard doing?To put it bluntly, he only led [-] Zuo Jinwu Guard soldiers to patrol around Chang'an City and enforce martial law.

It is a bit similar to the capital garrison of later generations. They can't go anywhere, they can only patrol around the imperial capital to guard the safety of the imperial capital.

His Majesty Li Er's mind is to put this restless cousin Long in the water and trap him by his side, so that he can be seen from time to time.

……

But Guo Ye was really curious, since His Majesty Li Er was so displeased with Li Xiaogong, and was even a bit on guard, why did he let him personally lead three thousand Jin Wuwei to accompany Li Ke, King of Shu, to Tubo?

Isn't this letting the dragon into the sea?
