I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

Liu Tan looked up at Huo Guang and asked, "Wu Shilu, write to me? Are you sure he will write?"

Huo Guang said: "There are also many Han Chinese in the Xiongnu."

After hearing this, Liu Tan couldn't help but muttered: "It's a traitor again, what is Wushilu going to do? I don't think I was beaten well, so I want to do it again?"

Huo Guang resisted the urge to complain, and really wanted to say that if Lu Xuan hadn't come so fast, your old man didn't know what would have happened.

Liu Tan smiled after opening the letter: "This word is ugly enough."

Just after reading the contents of the letter, I couldn't help but slap the letter on the desk: "Good idea!"

Huo Guang asked, "What did Wu Shilu say?"

Liu Tan said angrily: "He said he wanted to open a mutual market!"

After hearing this, Huo Guang couldn't help but sneer, if he wants to fight, he can open the mutual market if he wants to open the mutual market?Wushilu also thought too beautifully.

When Liu Tan thought of the tragic situation in Shuofang City he saw when he came back, and the coal mines that hadn't been fully opened yet, he hated his teeth so much that he couldn't help but raised his hand and tore the letter paper to pieces.

Seeing him like this, Huo Guang also felt a little distressed, and said decisively: "Don't pay attention to him, I will send someone to send the messenger away."

Huo Guang wanted to kill the courier if he could, but the problem was that killing the courier would probably prick Wushilu's sensitive nerves. If it happened again, the Huns were not afraid, they didn't have the time.

Liu Tan took a deep breath and squeezed two words out between his teeth: "No need."

Huo Guang looked at Liu Tan in surprise, and Liu Tan held his breath and said, "I'll write a letter to Father!"

Huo Guang was taken aback: "Your Highness?"

Writing a letter to Liu Che means leaving the matter to Liu Che to decide, and the answer is basically [-]/[-], or the possibility of agreeing is very high.

The opening of the mutual market may be able to stabilize the Xiongnu from invading for a few years. Although the big man has not had a large-scale war with the Xiongnu in these years, in fact, there have been many battles, large and small, and the country's financial pressure is also quite large.

For the people in Chang'an, the hatred for the Xiongnu is actually not that deep, most of it is out of anger, and it is not so unforgettable.

Liu Tan threw the torn letter aside and said, "If the mutual market can be opened, it will be good for the northern countries."

To open a mutual market, it must be the closest to the northern border country, and trade can most promote the economy of a place.

Although the current Western Regions are poor, Liu Tan knows that once the Silk Road takes shape, the small countries in the Western Regions along the Silk Road will actually become richer one by one.

The mutual market is equal to money. Liu Tan must strive for the most friendly conditions for the northern border countries. For example, tax payments can be collected by the northern border countries, and the mutual market can provide many job opportunities for people in the northern border countries.

Even if the border people don't want to deal with the Xiongnu, there will definitely be many caravans coming. There are many caravans, and they need services for eating and drinking. This is an opportunity to make money.

No matter how angry Liu Tan is, no matter how much he hates, he can't be so impulsive. What's more, it shouldn't be his decision whether to open the mutual market or not.

Hey, thinking of this, Liu Tan suddenly looked up at Huo Guang and asked, "No, why did Wushilu write to me? Shouldn't it be to deliver the letter of credence to the emperor?"

Huo Guang shook his head, but he couldn't figure out what this psychopath was thinking. He was fine when he heard that Wushilu had written to Liu Tan.

After all, the Huns don't pay much attention to those empty etiquette, and if Wushilu didn't know that Lu Xuan was here, he would think that it was Liu Tan who repelled him. Mutual market, this is strange.

Liu Tan also just asked, the fact that Wushilu wrote him a letter would not touch Chang An's sensitive nerves.

In other words, Chang'an will still laugh at Wushilu's self-defeating status. He is clearly the King of the Huns who can sit on an equal footing with the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

After Liu Tan wrote the letter to Liu Che, he asked, "Do you think Father will agree?"

Huo Guang said: "Your Majesty...should agree."

Opening a mutual market is much easier to accept than getting married, and it is a win-win situation. This time, Wushilu did not fall ill.

Liu Tan thought for a while and said, "Then let's choose a place."

Huo Guang laughed: "This is not what we decide."

It doesn't matter much where the mutual market is opened. Basically, it's arguing on both sides. Everyone wants to be closer to their own territory and bring it under their command. It's not about politics but economics. It's so convenient to make money.

Liu Tan rubbed his hands and said: "We can choose a few more, and there will always be one that can be used, right? After the selection, I will write to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If the emperor agrees, we will send our ideas up, which will save money. It's a waste of time going back and forth."

Hey, although he is already used to the life of this era, in fact, he still finds it inconvenient many times. Let’s talk about the communication system. The short distance is fine, but the long distance will delay things.

It's a pity that he can only think about the phone and the like. No matter how versatile he is, he can't make a generator now, and the generator is just the beginning.

Forget it, it's better to engage in official roads across the country to make riders faster.

Liu Tan asked someone to bring the map while thinking.

Huo Guang smiled and said, "You are looking for convenience for the governor of Dunhuang."

Liu Tan directly set his sights on the area north of Dunhuang, south of Zhuoxie Mountain, and relatively close to the Xiongnu River.

Liu Tan said: "It's not entirely true. To the north of Shuofang is either the Surrendered City or Lady Fan's City. Lady Fan's City is not in our hands now, and there is a desert to the north of Lady Fan's City. It is inconvenient for Huns caravans to come and go. They will not If you agree, if you move to the east, it will be close to Yan Kingdom, so I won't make wedding dresses for others!"

Not to mention whether Liu Dan will get a share of the mutual market, Liu Tan doesn't want him to come and make trouble!

In the west, if Liu Tan works hard, he might be able to manage it completely, but if he is close to Yan, even if he gets the management right, if Liu Dan destroys it, will he clean it up or not?

In order to avoid such disputes, it is better to put it in the west, not to mention that he has a more reasonable reason: it is also close to the Western Regions, and it may attract the countries of the Western Regions to come to trade.

The mutual market, the mutual market with the Xiongnu is also a mutual market, and it is the same with the countries in the Western Regions.

Liu Tan chose a few places and said, "These places are good."

Huo Guang looked at the places he circled, but he didn't care about the good places he said, but pointed another ink dot with his finger and said, "What do you want to use here, Your Highness?"

Liu Tan smiled slyly and said, "Jiancheng, Supply City, look around here is Mount Zhuoxie on the right, and the Western Regions on the left, and the closest larger cities to them are either Jiuquan or Dunhuang. Far away, when you really go, you have to bring a lot of supplies. How inconvenient it is. The most scarce thing here is water. We will build a city near Juyanze, divert the water from Juyanze, and turn it into a supply city. what do you think?"

After hearing this, Huo Guang couldn't help but said, "The governor of Dunhuang may be going crazy with joy."

The only supply city on such a long road, even if Huo Guang doesn't know what a monopoly is, once the mutual market takes shape, there will be a steady stream of people pouring into this city.

Liu Tan said, "If you think it's good, I'll write to the prince."

Huo Guang said: "Alright, but you can also mention it in your letter to His Majesty."

Liu Tan continued to write while nodding.

On the other hand, Liu Che and Liu Ju were a little surprised when they received the letter. Liu Che probably wasn't flattered, but he was really pleasantly surprised: "Tan'er just sent back a letter a few days ago, why is it so fast this time? No, what happened?"

Liu Ju is vigilant: Could it be Xiao Wusun's Kunmi who bullied his younger brother?

Of course he didn't say that, this matter was one of Liu Che's hot spots, even if he was in a good mood, once someone mentioned it, he would instantly become unhappy.

Liu Ju was not in a hurry to open the letter, and observed Liu Che's expression.

Liu Che actually had some conflicts. He didn't want to see Liu Tan mentioning Lu Xuan, but he couldn't bear to read the letter, so he opened the letter slowly. After reading it carefully, he was a little surprised: "Wu Shilu actually wants to open a mutual market?"

Liu Ju was a little surprised: "Wu Shilu? My son heard that after he took office, he said that he must move eastward to restore the glory of the Xiongnu, and he did commit crimes again and again. Why is it going to be a mutual market this time?"

The country that offered to trade with each other is basically a signal of weakness. Although negotiations are still needed, but Wushilu offered it... This is too strange.

Liu Che sneered: "You know how to bow your head when you're beaten."

Thinking about it this way, Lu Xuan also has merit.

In other words, it would be great if Lu Xuan was born in a big man. Even if Liu Tan mixed with him, Liu Che might turn a blind eye and not be so upset.

After all, looking at it now, Lu Xuan may not be as stunning as Wei Huo, but he is not bad, at least he is much stronger than many other generals of Dahan.

If it was in Dahan, it would be impossible for Liu Che to send the princess to marry Da Wusun, even if it was not his own daughter, he would not send it there.

Pity.

When Liu Che was feeling emotional, Liu Ju opened Liu Tan's letter. After seeing the map attached to the letter, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing: "Brother, it's really... even the place has been chosen, it's really It will save trouble for Honglu Temple."

Liu Che said: "Where did he choose? Show me."

Liu Ju sent the map up, Liu Che looked down and couldn't help laughing: "The little guy has a lot of ambition. He not only wants to do business with the Huns, but also with people from the Western Regions."

Liu Ju asked: "I think this position is not bad, and he also has the intention of building a supply city."

Liu Che didn't think there was anything wrong, but after tasting the product, he couldn't help but say, "Tan'er, what's your hobby? Why have you been building the city since you got there?"

Liu Ju thought about it. Although there was no movement in Shuofang City at the beginning, he was obviously ready. Just look at the construction speed of Shuofang City. Now... it is conservatively estimated that he will build at least two cities at the same time.

Liu Ju couldn't help being a little worried: "Father, Shuofang's tax revenue is not rich, will my brother not have enough money?"

Liu Che thought for a while and said, "I'm going to tell you that this matter will be handled by the King of the Northern Territory. Well, I'll send Honglu Temple to coordinate with you. By the way, let Honglu Temple bring some money over there."

Well, the synergy is fake, and the gift of money is real, but we need to find a nice excuse.

So Liu Tan received the pocket money from his father with a confused face, and also added a sentence: If you don't have enough, ask for it.

But in fact Miao Rui was very worried and said: "Your Highness, the treasury can't hold the money. Look... do you want to build another one?"
