I am the Empress Dowager!

Chapter 264: The General of the Han Dynasty—Fufeng Ma Family

"My request is not that difficult, so Ban Jingzhao doesn't have to worry too much."

After Liu Long finished the previous sentence, he saw that Jingzhao Yin Banxiong looked worried, and at the same time he quickly comforted the Banxiong.

Now that we have finally managed to get this group of heroes into the spotlight, we certainly can't let anything go wrong with Fufeng Banshi.

After seeing the calm look in Ban Xiong's eyes, Liu Long continued to make his own conditions.

"First, I can fully agree with General Ban's proposal, and General Ban doesn't even need to worry too much about the imperial court.

I am confident that I can convince the Queen Mother and the court. Even if I cannot convince you, I can independently support you in doing so.

However, since you want to rival or even surpass your father, then you have to make the mistake of rivaling Ban Dingyuan.

I will give you support that your father did not have back then, but I will repay you tenfold!

What I need is not just as simple as the reappearance of envoys from the Western Regions in the court, I need a stable trade route, and I need the countries in the Western Regions to exchange their needs with my great Han.

I need them to agree to my request, and while paying tribute to me, they also need to bring their caravans and my Han's border market. I will also set up a border market in the Western Regions among the capital.

At that time, I will need huge benefits to maintain my support for you! "

This was the first request Liu Long made. It was very simple, and could even be said to be outrageously simple.

The reason why he has such a request is because Liu Long knows his bottom line very well. No matter what he does, he must have enough profit support.

This is of course a great benefit to annihilating the Northern Huns and preventing them from continuing to threaten the Han's borders.

But this benefit is not enough.

Take the Western Region into your own pocket, and then continue to seize more benefits from the Silk Road, get more money, food, and horses, thereby reducing the court's support for the two states of Yongliang in the northwest in the future.

This can be regarded as sharing the pressure for the court.

Regarding this matter, Ban Yong was not surprised. After all, he had just said so much, and Liu Long was mostly debating with him around the word money and food.

So now we talk directly about money and food, which is really reasonable.

Apart from money and food, he couldn't think of anything else the other party wanted.

This request was not difficult for Ban Yong, and he even gave Liu Long a guarantee.

"If Your Majesty can allow me to set up a border market in the Western Region, I can guarantee that I will not disappoint Your Majesty!"

"Well, this is natural." Liu Long also nodded directly, and then continued, "Since this request is not difficult, then let's look at the things in front of us.

If we want to go to the Western Regions, we must first get through the two prefectures of Yongliang and Liang.

If Xian Ling Qiang Hu made things like this, if they can't be eliminated, it will really give us a headache.

Solve them, and then. From the current northwest land, I need start-up funds.
Forget it, to put it bluntly, I need you to help me find out the loss of this money and food, and then let those who are corrupt and pervert the law spit out what they should spit out.

And the money and food baggage they spit out will be the money and food for you to enter the Western Regions in the future.

How good a start you can have depends on how much surprise you can bring me. "

Liu Long's words made Ban Yong in front of him take a deep breath. Even Ban Xiong on the side couldn't help but turn his eyes to the two of them.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that His Majesty's methods were truly worthy of his royal family background and were taught by the Queen Mother.At this time, Ban Yong will not only have a bad relationship with his family, but he may not have a good relationship with the entire northwest and the entire Yongliang Prefecture family.

Nearly 200 million yuan in money, this number is enough to show that almost the entire northwest has been involved in corruption.

If he really started killing with ferocity, he would definitely be bleeding for thousands of miles.

And if Ban Yong really gets caught up in this matter and still stands beside Liu Long, the consequences can be imagined!

But Ban Xiong could no longer refuse, let alone persuade him. Not only did he not dare, but also because he could see that his younger brother had become completely excited.

He will not listen to his own persuasion, but will cause problems in the relationship between both parties.

He can't do this kind of thing
Liu Long's words and Ban Yong's nod also made both parties tacitly recognize each other. From then on, Ban Yong was officially transferred to Liu Long's side as a sergeant and concurrently as a military captain.

In Liu Long's words, this location was for Yongliang to start looking for farming land again.

But in fact, it is to give him an opportunity to participate in the future war in a reasonable way.

After Ban Yong, Liu Long also looked at Jingzhao Yin Banxiong in front of him again.

"My brother's ability really surprises me. This kind of ability really surprises me.

However, the war is so tragic that it is impossible for one person or one family to turn the tide of the war. Now that the war is intense, I need more Jing Zhaoyin and you to serve me. "

Liu Long's words made Na Banxiong couldn't help but smile.

He knew that this was to allow him to continue recommending.

However, this class hero was not polite about this either.

"Reporting to your majesty, if we talk about the generals of my great Han Dynasty, how can we not mention the Fufeng Ma family?
As the saying goes, a general will return as a corpse wrapped in horse leather!

At that time, General Fubo's words inspired many warriors in my country to dare to fight. In recent years, although the Fufeng Ma family has somewhat abandoned martial arts and embraced literature.

Ma Rong and others all wanted to study poetry and calligraphy so as to become famous Han scholars.

But there are also no brave people in this frontier.

His Majesty Maleng, the governor of Hanoi at that time, probably knew something about it, and he had quite a few methods to put down the rebellion and appease the people.

But this person is nothing among the Ma family.

Now I want to recommend two juniors from the Fufeng Ma family to Your Majesty.

One of them is the direct descendant of the Fufeng Ma family, the nephew of General Fubo Ma Yuan, and will be the seventh son of the great craftsman Ma Yan!
He is also the younger brother of the famous scholar Ma Rong, Ma Xu! "

"Wait!" Liu Long, who was still looking forward to it, couldn't help but interrupt his words after hearing the name. "Is the Ma Xu you are talking about the person I have heard of?"

"Well, I guess he is the person His Majesty knows."

"Hahahaha. What does Jing Zhaoyin mean? What I need is a general, not a famous person in the world.

Although Ma Xu is good, he is not the person I need. "

At this time, Liu Long had already unceremoniously rejected this recommendation. If he didn't know better, he would have thought that Ma Xu had angered Liu Long.
