I'm about to become an immortal, do you want me to be a prince?

Chapter 277 Brother die, have you heard of SF Express?
"What, the king of Xianbei is dead?"

"Killed by Tang people?"

Within Qiemo City, news of Murong Fuyun's death began to spread among merchants.

"The Tang army conquered Shanshan, killed Fu Yun, and killed all the Xianbei leaders."

"hiss--"

"Tang Jun is so powerful?"

"Then Tang Jun will continue to stay, or withdraw to Qinghai?"

Everyone shook their heads, and no one knew Tang Jun's next plan.

"However, it is said that Tang Jun intends to build a new city here and reopen the Silk Road." A business leader who knew a lot said suddenly.

"Build a new city? Open the Silk Road?"

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the surrounding business travelers suddenly shone.

Whether building a new city is good for them, they still dare not make a conclusion yet.

But reopening the Silk Road is definitely good for them.

Although it is possible to go to the Central Plains along the Silk Road nowadays, the risk involved is very high. In addition to the risks of climate, wild animals, robbers, etc., you also have to be exploited by several city-states on the way.

If Datang can really control the Silk Road, then it will definitely be much more convenient to go to the Central Plains in the future.

There are everyone in the business traveler, such as spies from a small country, which is not surprising at all.

For example, at this time, a spy from Khotan pretended to ask, "Building a new city? Then there must be a lot of people from the Tang army?"

"It's not very many. It is said that there are only a few hundred Tang troops stationed in Putao City."

"Hundreds of people?"

"Dare to garrison the isolated city with a few hundred people?"

"Say it's elite."

"Elite? Could it be stronger than the Persian guards?"

The reason why Persia is mentioned is because now there is only Persia left that can barely take a shot.

In the past, Turks were compared with Datang.

It's just that now the Turks are in decline, and the Tang Dynasty has taken over the royal courts of the Turks.

The former king, Jieli Khan Ash Dubi, has now been reduced to living by dancing Huxuan dance in Chang'an.

In this case, who would compare Turkic with Datang?

Then the best thing to do is to get taller than the short ones, and compare them with second-rate Persians.

"Hmph, Persia, how dare you compare yourself with Datang?" An elderly merchant leader said with contempt on his face.

Then he pointed at the people around and pretended to be coercive, "You guys, I'm afraid you haven't been to Chang'an, have you?"

"you've been to?"

"The old man was lucky to have been there."

"how?"

"The power of the Celestial Empire cannot be compared with that of the small countries in the Western Regions."

Then the leader of the merchant brigade took out a pure white porcelain cup from his pocket and waved it in front of their eyes.

"Have you seen this one?"

Someone wanted to reach out to touch it, but it was opened with a snap.

"While going, you won't be able to afford it if you break it, just watch it as you go."

The person who stretched out his hand suddenly smiled awkwardly, and apologized again and again, saying that he couldn't hold back for a while.

Then a bunch of people gathered around to watch the china mugs.

I am amazed in my mouth.

"Could this be the legendary Celestial Porcelain?" A knowledgeable business traveler asked.

"That's right, it's from the Celestial Dynasty."

"It's really beautiful!"

"Hehe, beauty is beauty, but it is much worse than Liuli."

"Liu Li?"

"Yes, that's right, Wugou Liuli."

It means transparent glass.

"Yes, yes, yes, I was lucky enough to see it once. It was purchased by a Persian headman from a caravan named Shunfeng. The glass bottle is absolutely exquisite!"

The faces of everyone present changed instantly. Is this the legendary Celestial Dynasty?

At this time, a monk from India who was holding a Buddhist bead suddenly said, "This benefactor, has he ever seen rice paper from the Celestial Dynasty?"

The leader of the business traveler who had been to Chang'an nodded and said, "I've seen it, it's really the best."

"Good good!"

When the monk heard the words, a smile appeared on his haggard face, he nodded and said three good words.

Tianzhu is a famous Buddhist country. The monks in this country have a very high status, and they are all literate people. When they knew that there was something called rice paper in the Tang Dynasty, they had a collective orgasm on the spot.

It's a pity that the journey from Tianzhu to Datang is more than thousands of miles away. There are many people who want to get Xuan paper, but very few dare to take action.

This one can be regarded as a pioneer.

I traveled thousands of miles from Tianzhu to the Western Regions, and then to the Tang Dynasty, just to have a look at the so-called Xuan paper.

At this time, after confirming the news that Tianchao did indeed produce rice paper, he felt joy in his heart, and even a smile appeared on his perennially serious face.

You know, Tianzhu is still using "Bayue" to write.

The monks' demand for paper is extremely eager.

More importantly, these monks, they are rich!
Li Mu has always welcomed rich and bold clients.

Therefore, the significance of opening up the Silk Road in the Western Regions is here.

"It is said that Tang Jun will set up officials in the new city and build a market."

"really?"

"Yes, there will be people from Tang Dynasty coming to do business."

"So fast?"

"Yes, the legendary SF Express is said to be coming."

"I heard that SF Express has a very close relationship with Tang Jun."

A bunch of people suddenly started whispering, mostly discussing the legend about SF Express.

"I heard that SF Express wants everything, as long as it is available in the Western Regions, they want it."

"If something satisfies them, they are willing to exchange it with silk, porcelain, colored glaze, etc."

"so good?"

"Then what do they want?"

"I don't know exactly what I want, but it is said that slaves are very much needed."

"Slaves? Slaves?"

"No, any slave will do."

"Anything is fine? Do you want black slaves? The castrated ones. I know some slave owners who specially transported them from West Persia."

"I want it, I want it."

"There is already a temporary market in Putao City, you can ask about it."

"The Tang people will really be here in the future?"

"It should be, just like the Han Dynasty."

hiss--

Another gasp sounded.

They have heard a lot about the legend of the heyday of the former Han Dynasty.

Could it be that Datang is now so powerful?

Immediately, everyone's faces were different, some were happy, and some were frowning.

Those merchants were delighted, and those who frowned were the spies from various countries who were among the business travelers.

"Can they gain a foothold?" someone asked.

"Hmph, you don't want to see how the king of the Xianbei people died."

"The head was cut off alive by the Tang Dynasty general in Putao City."

"Moreover, the Tang people destroyed [-] arrows in one battle, [-]!"

"This is still a small number. I heard that they brought a full 40 arrows in one expedition!"

"40?"

Everyone suddenly exclaimed.

"Besides, do you know who the general who destroyed Gaochang Kingdom is?"

"Who?"

"That's the king of the Turks, the king of the Turks. Even the kings of the Turks were driven by the Tang emperor. Do you think they can gain a firm foothold in the Western Regions?"

"call--"

There was another burst of exclamation.

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go to Putao City to find out!"

"Let's go, let's go to Putao City together."

So a bunch of people cheered and headed towards Putao City. . .
