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

Chapter 343 Big deal, win-win together!

Zhenguan 13 years, spring.

Luoyang Palace officially issued an edict.

Set Shule Wangcheng as Qixi Prefecture, Li Mu, the Duke of Jingyang County, as the history of the principal, and Chai Shaoyao as the governor.

In other words, Li Mu actually has the final say in Qixi Prefecture.

Then, on the night after the edict was issued, Changsun Wuji rushed to find Lao Du in a hurry.

"Eldest grandson, I don't know what you can do to visit late at night."

Old Du was wearing a big cloak, hugging the heater, and asked with an unhappy expression.

After all, being dug up from the warm bed in the middle of the night would make anyone unhappy.

But Changsun Wuji seemed a little excited, he took Lao Du's hand and said, "Mr. Du, there is a big deal."

"Oh? A big deal? What a big deal?"

"Du Gong, take a step to speak." Changsun Wuji was very mysterious.

Old Du glanced at him, then waved his hands to make the maidservants retreat.

After the maidservants retreated, Changsun Wuji began to say mysteriously, "Du Gong, the situation in the Western Regions is becoming more and more clear now. I want to do something, so I came here to find Du Gong to assist in the grand event."

"Business? What business?"

"My son Boshu has sent news that the cities to the west of Congling Mountain have lost their common masters, and the states here are just like China's Qin Dynasty lost its deer. At this time, Shu won the city of Mulu, and he had quite a few supporters in his hands, including the Nestorian monks in Damascus as internal support. In addition, the protector of the Bolu Kingdom was a general under Gou Zheng, and Gou Zheng was now living here. Governor Qixi, the time and place are so favorable, shouldn't we do something?"

Old Du was stupefied by Changsun Wuji, and he couldn't figure out what this guy wanted after thinking for a long time.

So he asked directly, "Elder Grandson, what are you going to do, just tell me."

"Uh, what this old man means is that you and my two families will raise some money to support the cause of the Western Regions, and help Bo Shu and Gou Zheng to win some more states. After conquering the states, how about getting back the principal and interest?"

What? ? ?

After hearing this, Lao Du was shocked.

The elder grandson also fought hard for his son.

You can think of such a shameless trick, admiration!
"Eldest grandson, the Tocharian people are not easy to fight. The soldiers of Bolu Kingdom, Beitianzhu and Xiangxiong are mostly mobs, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to take on important positions!"

Of course, Lao Du knew what Changsun Wuji meant. It is definitely not easy to use official channels to make war money like this. Boss Li must have taken most of the money through official channels.

You have to cooperate with the Allies of the Western Regions, and the land won by that time will be linked to the Allies, so it will not be Datang's property. In this case, you can earn enough.

In the end, the equivalent value is almost squeezed out, and I will go through another process and re-register it under the name of Datang. In this way, I will gain both fame and fortune, hello, hello, hello, everyone, perfect!

But Lao Du really doesn't have much confidence in these weak friends.

Although there are Li Mu and Changsun Chong, the Western Regions are too far away after all, and there are too many accidents. His old Du family has made a lot of money in the past few years, but he can't just close his eyes and invest randomly, it's easy Bankruptcy is good.

Therefore, Lao Du seemed very hesitant at this time.

Seeing Lao Du's constipated expression, Changsun Wuji knew that this guy was not very optimistic about this investment.

But Changsun Wuji is bound to win this investment. Making money is one thing, but more importantly, paving the way for his son.

After all, after these weak little states were captured, they would be merged into Datang's name after they were squeezed out of value. His son, Changsun Chong, must be on the list of meritorious deeds.

Therefore, he wants to fight, must fight.

As for why he had to find the Du family.

In addition to the energy of the Du family, more importantly, the Du family is rich now.

This guy Du Gou is making a lot of money in Denglai. Who in the inside doesn't know that the speed of making money is like using a water pump, which is extremely terrifying.

But what outsiders don't know is that a lot of the money that Du's family raised went into Li Shimin's pocket, otherwise Du Gou would have been kicked out long ago.

In order to strengthen Lao Du's confidence, Changsun Wuji quickly used his trump card.

"Du Gong, I heard from Gou Zheng that among the small states in the Western Regions, there seem to be hidden gold mines in some places."

Hearing that there was a gold mine, Lao Du was shocked on the spot.

The constipated expression disappeared immediately, and then replaced with a smiling face.

"Eldest grandson, let's sit down and talk about it in detail"

Then the two sat down and chatted about the details while sipping tea.

Time didn't go fast, but it wasn't slow either.

After more than half an hour, the two finalized the cooperation, and Changsun Wuji got up and left.

Lao Du smiled and sent him outside the door of his house.

"Du Gong, please come back, please come back, it's windy outside, pay attention to your health."

"That's good, the eldest grandson has a good journey, so I forgive the old man for not far away."

"Farewell!"

"Good to go!"

After Changsun Wuji left, Lao Du's personal bodyguard suddenly appeared from the shadows, and then followed Lao Du back home together.

"Ah Lang, there is such a business in this world?"

"What's so strange, there are too many such things in the East China Sea."

"Lend money to fight a war, and then pay back the debt with the gains?"

"Why not, isn't Sun Bofu the same in the past?"

"This"

The personal bodyguard felt that something was wrong, but at the same time it seemed that there was nothing wrong.

"Li Gou is using the Supreme Sect to wreak havoc on the barbarians in the Western Regions. Although most of his subordinates are mobs, the advantage is that there are many of them, and they are all the top snakes in the Western Regions. If they are supported, it may not be impossible."

"What about the gold mine?"

"It should be true. As the eldest grandson Fuji, I won't be able to deceive me, but I just don't know how big the gold mine is."

When Lao Du came to the study, he stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the sheepskin map on the desk, which was a copy given to him by Changsun Wuji.

It marked in detail the topographic layout of the states west of Congling and the location of the so-called gold mines.

"Alang, I still think this time is a bit risky."

Old Du smiled and said, "Wealth and wealth are in danger."

After a pause, Old Du laughed again, "Hey, it's not a bet, since Li Gou is participating, I see, this matter is very safe."

At this time, the Western Regions, Shule King City.

Oh no, it should be called Qixi Prefecture now.

Comrade Li Mu, the new leader of Qixi Prefecture.

He didn't celebrate his promotion, on the contrary, he was even more frowning.

Because he didn't want to be the leader at all.

I'm here for sightseeing, what the hell, Lao Li, you didn't even ask me, so I put on the hat of a senior civil servant with me, have you considered my feelings?
But things have come to this point, I can only accept it, of course it is not useless, at least it will be more convenient when doing things in the future.

Therefore, Li Mu plans to do it for the time being, and make a decision later if he has other plans.

Now Qixi territory is thriving. Under the personal leadership of Li Mu, the crossing dog, all kinds of infrastructure projects are doing well.

And some time ago, I found asphalt nearby, which is really a big gain.

Paving the road will be more perfect in the future.

However, infrastructure construction is a trivial matter, and it is just a matter of taking it slow and step by step.

What bothers him more is the governance of the people's livelihood in Qixi Prefecture.

As a rookie, Li Mu must have no experience as a state governor for the first time.

But fortunately, with the help of Cui's family, they will not be in a hurry.

It's a pity that the Cui family is not omnipotent. They are experts in governing the state and herdsmen, but they are a bit of an amateur when dealing with border issues.

No, Cui Jin brought someone to Li Mu to cry again today.

"Li Changshi, the tribes on the border of Qixi regard me as nothing according to the law of the Tang Dynasty. They often herd sheep and cross the border without authorization. Once they accidentally caught fire. My warnings are ineffective, and I ask Chang Shi to make the decision."

The corner of Li Mu's mouth twitched after listening.

That's it?

Is that what you are powerless about?
Spicy chicken!

Li Mu waved his hand, "You guys, follow me, I will teach you what to do."
