I, the patron saint of the frontier of the Tang Dynasty, was forced to rebel

Chapter 110
"Immediately send people to guard against death. In Yazhou, Jiazhou, Huichuan, Yaozhou, Yongchang, Kunlun Town and other places, transfer [-]% of the troops to the east of Jiannan Road, and at the same time strengthen the waterway defense and combat capabilities."

"Father, will this create opportunities for the imperial court? There are not many troops in the east."

"Imperial court, hum! If he dares to do something now, it's better to let him come and go!"

These areas are all the border continents between Jiannan Road and Tubo, and they are also the areas with the strongest military strength.

Changsun Wuji suddenly thought of something and pointed to the south of the map.

"Golden Tooth Department, Puzi Department, Wang Department, Mang Department, and Heman Department, you go to discuss these places in person, let them join us to resist the pressure from Lishui, and at the same time give them some benefits."

"Father, aren't these tribes controlled by the court?"

"Hmph, the imperial court only has that one-acre three-point land, how can it manage the rear of my Jiannan Road?"

That's right, Jiannan Road has completely isolated the control area of ​​the entire Beibu Gulf sea area.

And Lingnan Road is gradually becoming independent, Changsun Wuji is considering contact and wants to annex it in one fell swoop!
In his seriousness, the court is not a big deal at all.

"Then can these people agree?"

"I will go to the minister of Lingnan Road. You should do your own thing well. Remember not to cause any misunderstanding or trouble with Qin Mu, otherwise there will be endless troubles!"

"Yes!"

Jiannan Road was in action, and Lingzhou also made arrangements immediately.

Zhuge Liang led the relevant personnel to Qianzhou.

The headquarters of the eldest grandson's family!
The eldest grandson Wuji who got the news was also incredulous.

This action and strategic foresight alone shocked him.

As expected, he is the well-deserved number one civil servant of Qin Mu's subordinates!

"Prime Minister Zhuge, what can you learn from this visit?"

The words are very straightforward, but also a bit unwelcome.

Zhuge Liang didn't care, "Mr. Zhao, I came here in a hurry and didn't prepare any big gifts. Please forgive me."

"Hey, they are all citizens of the Tang Kingdom, so you said these things were strange at the beginning?"

Tang people?

These words made Zhuge Liang feel funny. Both sides are traitors in the eyes of the court. It is really interesting to talk about the people.

"My lord Changsun seems to have the same purpose as King Xian. They both want to make the Tang Kingdom more prosperous and the people who have been suffering for a long time can be well."

"Please take a seat."

The two sat on chairs, facing each other.

It can be seen that Changsun Wuji did not put on airs, but really treated guests with hospitality.

"Prime Minister Zhuge, is it possible that King Xian has something to discuss when you come here this time?"

"That's right, about Tubo."

As soon as this was said, the two looked at each other, then lowered their heads and drank tea.

The atmosphere fell into an eerie silence!
They are very clear that the strategic goals of the two sides are different, but a cooperation intention needs to be reached, otherwise it will give opportunities to those who are interested.

Therefore, to discuss in detail, it is natural to need a calm mind.

They are both suspicious of the other party's intentions, and they are also thinking about what conditions should be used to negotiate.

A cup of tea was finished, but no one spoke.

The servants on the side had been called out long ago, and no one was allowed to listen on the spot.

Yoshihisa
After all, Changsun Wuji was the passive side, so he could only speak first.

"My incompetent son went to the Puzi tribe and other tribes. It's a pity that I can't see the demeanor of the prime minister today."

"Oh, went to the Puzi Department?"

Zhuge Liang smiled, "That's a good place. It's bounded by the sea, with Tubo on the west, Jiannan Road on the north, and the Red River on the east. It's an excellent transnational trade zone."

Having said that, he arched his hands.

"I have to congratulate Zhao Guogong in advance, the trade is getting more and more prosperous."

"Hey, Prime Minister Zhuge, don't be perfunctory to me. This is just a superficial talk. The real situation is a mess caused by the Tubo war."

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang didn't speak.

Changsun Wuji picked up the teapot and poured him a cup of tea himself, "Speaking of which, I plan to go to Lingzhou in person. The ancients said that there is no limit to learning, and Lingzhou is ashamed of the rapid progress."

"Then I'm here early?"

"Hahaha"

The two smiled at each other.

"Zhao Guogong, my visit this time is also an opportunity for Jiannan Road to come, what do you think?"

"Please speak up?"

Zhuge Liang paused: "Jiannan Road's overall income is currently less than 3000 million taels of silver, and most of the goods come from twenty states. In addition, the trade with Tubo has been interrupted, and overseas trade is in trouble. I may be wrong. ?”

"Prime Minister Zhuge is very well-informed?" Changsun Wuji's old fox eyes became brighter, and his heart became colder.

Unexpectedly, Jiannan Dao was infiltrated so badly.

One's economic situation is not obvious on the surface, and the actual income statistics require a lot of manpower to operate.

Lingzhou, however, was able to complete it immediately and draw a conclusion.

It can be seen how strong the power behind this is!
Zhuge Liang was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, waiting for this sentence.

"Twenty states have entered a period of great development, and a large number of commodities need to be sold, and Jiannan Road is an excellent market"

"Wait, although Jiannan Road has a large population, its consumption capacity is limited and it cannot absorb so much production capacity."

Before he finished speaking, Changsun Wuji directly refused.

He didn't pay attention to the issue of market consumption at first, whether it is foreign goods or local products, there is no problem.

However, gradually problems emerged.
Since Qin Mu raised the topic of industrialization reform, the production capacity of twenty states has skyrocketed.

As a result, the prices of commodities have dropped rapidly, and vicious competition has been raised in various places.

This problem is beneficial to the people, but it is even more harmful. By the time the competition is over, the local merchants will have been "slaughtered" long ago!
Immediately afterwards, the price became more expensive than before the competition, making it unaffordable for the common people.

Slowly, public grievances arose.

From this, he can see that the twenty states obviously want to use the price advantage and rapid productivity as the basis to overwhelm the entire Jiannan Road and even Guannei Road, Lingnan Road and other places.

These places are all behind the Tang State. If the production capacity is insufficient and the people are displaced, the population will flock to Qin Mu's control area.

If the population is insufficient, the soldiers will be gone, so it will be a piece of meat waiting to be swallowed!
"Don't be so anxious, Mr. Zhao, why don't you listen to me?"

Zhuge Liang didn't show any anxious expression, and smiled calmly.

"First, the twenty prefectures will jointly establish a company to be responsible for the entire market trade in Jiannan Road. Of course, Zhao Guogong can also send people to supervise, and it will never disturb the people. Employment, so as not to fall into poverty."

"Is this what Qin Mu proposed?"

Changsun Wuji couldn't believe it, how could Qin Mu be so stupid about such a pie in the sky.
