Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 386
On the banquet, the guests and the host enjoyed themselves.

After the song ended, everyone went home.

Qiao Shiwang did not enter Gaochang City, but stayed in the military camp. After Fang Jun returned to Beijing, he would officially take over the garrison in various places in Gaochang.

The drunk Fang Jun was helped by Xi Junmai back to the Buddhist temple, and he regained consciousness as soon as he entered the room.

"How is the situation?"

After washing his face with cold water, he sat on the bench and took a sip of the hot tea, Fang Jun just asked leisurely.

Xi Junmai turned around and closed the door of the room, came to Fang Jun, and said softly, "My subordinates lead two groups of scouts to monitor alternately, and between Hou Wenxiaosu and the military camp, there are no less than twenty guards guarding the entrance and exit. If you want to kill it silently, it is almost impossible."

Fang Jun squinted his eyes, put down the tea cup, tapped his fingers on the table top and bottom consciously, and his mind was spinning rapidly.

This Hou Wenxiao seems to have an impulsive and hot personality. Once such a person commits obsession, he often does not care about the consequences.

This person has a deep blood feud with himself, and he must want to get rid of himself and then quickly.

But the personal protection of the Shenji Camp around him could not give him a chance to make a move. Therefore, this Hou Wenxiao is very likely to go to the other extreme - destroy Fang Jun's contacts in Gaochang, and the two soon to be established. big workshop...

Hou Wenxiao was not only the second-in-command of the Anxi Protectorate, but after the Shenji Camp was withdrawn, all the soldiers in the garrison were government soldiers assigned by the left guard, and he could almost easily overthrow Qiao Shiwang!Although Fang Jun didn't think that Qiao Shiwang, who had high hopes from His Majesty Li Er, would be so useless, he was bound by Hou Wenxiao.

If Hou Wenxiao was determined not to have a future, but also to destroy his own layout in Gaochang, it would be easy.Even a little more ruthless, it can stir up the situation in the Western Regions and ruin the good situation once...

Fang Jun would never tolerate such a person staying in Gaochang, even if he was the product of His Majesty Li Er's compensation for Hou Junji!
After welcoming Qiao Shiwang to Gaochang City in the daytime, Fang Jun assigned Xi Junmai to lead the elite scouts, closely monitor Hou Wenxiao, and kill him when he gets the chance!

But as the so-called "little man grows up", this Hou Wenxiao also knew Fang Jun's style. After unreservedly contradicting him during the day, he became more careful when entering and leaving. There were dozens of guards guarding him at every turn, and there was no chance to start...

Fang Jun pondered for a while, and said, "Go on, three days later, Shenji Camp will return to Beijing. Within three days, all evacuation matters must be properly handled."

"promise!"

Xi Junmai responded with a sound, and then asked with a little doubt: "But... this Hou Wenxiao has let go? This person has a ruthless personality, and staying in Gaochang, I am afraid it will be extremely unfavorable to the layout of Hou Ye."

Fang Jun glanced at Xi Jun with a little surprise.

He never said these words to Xi Junmai, he just told him to wait for the opportunity to kill Hou Wenxiao.If an ordinary military general receives such an order, they will naturally think that Fang Jun is revenge for Hou Wenxiao's rude confrontation today, and secondly, he will take precautions to kill this guy who is malicious to him first and eliminate hidden dangers.

However, Xi Junmai could see that the reason why he wanted to kill Hou Wenxiao was not to vent his anger or personal resentment, but to think about the overall situation. This vision should not be possessed by a small scout.

I can only sigh, worthy of being a famous general who has left a name in history, he is not born a common man...

"A certain naturally knows that this Hou Wenxiao must not stay, but don't worry, kill this person and leave it to us after we leave." Fang Jun said confidently.

This Xi Junmai is a character worth cultivating. Like Liu Rengui, he has excellent potential. As long as he is properly trained, he will be his most powerful arm in the future!That's why I explained that if someone else is replaced, just obey orders, where do these many problems come from? !

"promise!"

Xi Jun bought a head of question marks, but he didn't dare to ask any more, so he turned and walked away.

But I kept thinking about it in my heart, and they all withdrew, how can I kill that Hou Wenxiao?

The next day, in the military camp.

Qiao Shiwang sat opposite Fang Jun, drinking a cup of fragrant tea, and chatting happily.

"When he was in Beijing, His Majesty appointed this official to be the protector. To tell the truth, this official is extremely resistant. Although Gaochang is isolated in the Western Regions, although it is occupied by the Tang Dynasty, it is located in a remote location, the road is difficult, the conditions are difficult, and the surrounding area is very difficult. A group of wolves are all around, and a little carelessness can lead to a complete defeat. It was only after His Majesty showed the official Erlang's memorial to the official that the official was relieved and came to take up his post with a longing for the Western Regions. Today After talking with Erlang, I just realized that the memorial is just the tip of the iceberg, and it is far from fully showing Erlang's whimsy. This official dares to assert that if Erlang's strategy can really be completed, it will be forever and forever. There must be Jiro's name on it!"

Qiao Shiwang was really taken aback by Fang Jun's whimsy, and he gave Fang Jun an unparalleled compliment when he opened his mouth!
The lifeline of the Western Regions is tightly controlled by the economy?

Dare to think!
However, it really makes sense and has a bright future!
Qiao Shiwang was really convinced. How did this scoundrel, who was notorious in Guanzhong, get out of the customs, and when he arrived in the Western Regions, he would burst into such a dazzling brilliance?
Even Zaisuke in the DPRK might not have such a deep understanding of the way of the economy, let alone rely on the way of the economy, it is entirely possible to control the Western Regions without a single soldier!
No wonder His Majesty once commented on the "talent of Zaifu", but now that it is viewed, it is definitely not a false statement!

Fang Jun laughed and said, "Master Du Hu, don't give me a soup of confusion. If I get confused, I'll take it shamelessly, haha!"

The two looked at each other and laughed, very harmonious.

After laughing, Qiao Shiwang took advantage of Fang Jun's departure, and asked for advice: "Although this official was appointed as a prefect of a state before, it was just His Majesty's wrong love, and he didn't know much about economics. Do not hesitate to teach me.”

Qiao Shiwang looked at him with awe, and Fang Jun became very humble: "What do you say, Lord Tuhu? But please speak bluntly, and you can say everything you know, and you can say everything."

"Then the official asked for advice..." Qiao Shiwang bowed his hands, no longer polite, and asked: "According to Erlang's vision, the establishment of this wool spinning factory is to encourage the people of Gaochang to breed more sheep. The already scarce arable land has also been turned into pastures. This official is puzzled, not to mention whether buying wool at a high price will one day be unbearable. It is foreseeable that from now on, the output of this wool will inevitably increase day by day. The output of woolen textiles will also increase. Where will this huge output be sold? As far as I know, although Datang is fond of woolen textiles from the Western Regions, because of its high price, the sales volume is extremely limited. Only the rich and aristocratic can afford it, and the common people can only sigh..."

Fang Jun gave the new Anxi Duhu a compliment...

This person has real talent and practical knowledge, or is really committed to the role of Anxi Protector. In one sentence, he points out the top priority of the entire strategy.

Just losing money, the Tang Dynasty must still be able to afford it. Spending some money can stabilize the situation in the Western Regions. This is what all the courtiers and His Majesty are happy to see.

But whether the huge amount of wool can be made into items in time, and how to sell it after it is made, this is the top priority.The imperial court can bear a certain degree of losses, but if it is completely abandoned without a trace of cost recovery, it may drag down the national finances...

This point, His Majesty Li Er must have thought of it, and came up with a solution.

"Of course it's going to widen the road!" Fang Jun said lightly, "If there are no special changes, in the spring of next year, His Majesty will order to open up the trade routes of the East, Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, Waguo, Linyi... these potential customers."

His Majesty Li Er agreed to his strategy on the Western Regions, which means that he indirectly intends to lead the fleet to open up foreign trade routes in the future.At that time, I will build a luxurious invincible fleet by myself, traversing the ocean, going to the South Ocean, exploring the Americas, and sailing to Africa...

To draw the attention of the Han people on the land for thousands of years and generations, and attract them to the vast ocean, can not only solve the main social contradiction of land annexation, but also grab the wealth of the world at the same time, and even more vigorously. The great voyage era of the eastern and western cultures combined, making this ancient country glow with light beyond the times!

As long as he thinks about it, Fang Jun's blood boils...
