Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 268

"Pyu country is sparsely populated, mostly mountainous, and transportation is inconvenient, so our strategic goal is very simple, population, mineral deposits, road construction, it's that simple." Feng Daiwen continued to introduce.

"Master Hou, taking such a long road, isn't it easy?" Wei Kang asked.

"It's really not easy, so it's a long-term project, and it's expected to be completed in at least ten years. However, in the early stage, we just let people open up roads for the convenience of marching." Feng Daiwen nodded in agreement.

"Okay, everyone! The Piao Kingdom is just the first step. Those who I am willing to give up my family's troops this time can come and report tomorrow. Please do yourselves." Feng Daiwen continued, serving tea to the guests after speaking.

"Brothers, come and have a look!" After the others left, Feng Daiwen stayed behind with more than a dozen friendly families, and at the same time several young men from the general family came.

Feng Daiwen took out a map and put it on the table, and when people surrounded him, he pointed to the map and said, "Look, this is a map of the Western Regions. This place is called Persia, Guishuang, Dashi! This place is not weaker than Datang Of course, we don’t know exactly how strong or weak the countries are, but they have a large population and a vast territory.”

"Many merchants from the Western Regions came from there. They said they were indeed not weak, maybe not as good as Tang Dynasty, but they only said that there were many soldiers." Yuchi Baolin nodded, pointing to the map and said.

"That's right, the price of the goods is already very expensive when they arrive in the Western Regions, and the price is even higher when they are shipped there, but the distance is far away and it is not easy to handle." Cheng Chumo said.

"So you need to try to organize a caravan to go there next, and go there with Hu merchants, mainly Persia and Guishuang.

Dashi is a very xenophobic place, there is no need to go there, the research institute has developed a six-wheeled carriage, which not only transports a lot of goods, but also can be easily pulled by horses and camels. "Feng Daiwen explained that the six-wheeled carriage is an improvement on the basis of the four-wheeled carriage, and the Qin carriage can only be used on straight roads because of the difficulty in steering.

Under the prompt of Feng Daiwen, the Research Institute added a movable axle to the front wheel, which easily solved the steering problem, and specially designed a wide wheel for the desert terrain, only need to enter the desert to change the wheel.

"Hey! We always wanted to bring a caravan there before, but you didn't allow it. We can only watch Hu merchants make money." Cheng Chumo rubbed his hands happily and said with a smile.

"The Hu merchants use horses and camels, how much can be transported there, this time you discuss it, and form a large business group with the Hu merchants to go, but the important family members should not go, or else they will be stuck there, and no one will come to rescue them." Feng Daiwen warned with a smile.

"Of course, we're not that reckless. There are already two small countries in the Western Regions that are under our secret control. Whoever dares to make a wrong decision will destroy them directly." Cheng Chumo said viciously, relying on the Western Regions for the past two years, several companies have really made money. Quite a few, accounting for almost half of the family's income, anyone who dares to stand in the way will directly die.

"The land transportation capacity is always limited. If you can get through the Pyu country, you can go to sea directly from here, without having to go around in Nanyang. The Jieri Dynasty and other places here are also huge, and you can earn more." Feng Daiwen pointed at the map, from Nanzhao Draw a line directly to Jieri Dynasty and say.

"It's also quite difficult!" Qin Huaiyu said, measuring with his hand on the map.

"That's right, so we'll open the road first, and then open up a route to the sea. Pyu has a large population, so it's good for building roads.

There are only two purposes for this expedition, the first is jade, and the second is to occupy a piece of land, and advance slowly. There is no need to pay attention to places outside the route, and I will talk about it slowly in the future. "Feng Daiwen continued.

"Who is guarding Piao country?" Qin Huaiyu asked with concern. After all, no one wants to be governed by unfamiliar people after conquering a place.

"Nanzhao General will be governed by Liu Dewei, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Li Chonghui will be in charge of the army, Brother Qin will be in charge of Piaoguo, and Changsun Chong will be in charge of the administration, but we will talk about it later." Feng Daiwen said with a smile. After all, this was all arranged by Li Shimin , There is nothing you can't say, tell them in advance that there is also a preparation.

"Me? I'm worried that I won't be able to do well!" Qin Huaiyu was taken aback, pointing at himself and said with a wry smile.

"This is the Holy Majesty's trust in Brother Qin. I believe that you will be fine. In fact, it is not too difficult. Datang does not need those cottages. All the population is forced to relocate. Relying on the city for development, there are many ethnic groups there. Let's take a batch of them slowly, and don't rush them for a while." Feng Daiwen comforted.

"Congratulations, Big Brother Qin!" Cheng Chumo and others congratulated Qin Huaiyu with smiles when they saw that Qin Huaiyu was bound to be promoted.

"Hehe, thank you brothers, please support me a lot in the future!" Qin Huaiyu quickly thanked.

"Brother Qin can pay more attention to the children of the aristocratic families who are going out this time. If you find any talented people, you can stay in Piao to help. Officials who are below the sixth rank will be appointed by the Holy Majesty." Feng Daiwen immediately gave him a meal A reassurance.

Qin Huaiyu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he could choose someone to help him. After all, with the name of Duke Yi, there are still many aristocratic families who are willing to make friends. Few people stay.

"After it was taken down, what did we do again? Could it be that we sent so many people here just for these things?" Yuchi Baolin asked suspiciously.

"After the strategic goal is completed, you have to go back to solve Nanyang, which is a good place to make a fortune. It's just ships and navy that take time, and you can also detour from Nanyang to the Pyu Kingdom, which is next to the Jieri Dynasty.

As for why so many people go, you will know in time. A cold light flashed in Feng Daiwen's eyes, and he said with a wicked smile.

"A lot of spices were shipped from Nanyang a few years ago, which caused the price of spices in Chang'an to drop sharply, but it made many Hu merchants want to cry, and lost money to grandma's house." Li Deju said with a smile.

"That's right, spices, nanmu, agarwood, all kinds of fruits are abundant in Nanyang, as long as you have a boat, you can fill them to your heart's content.

The natives there basically have no resistance power, just arrest them and do coolies. "Feng Daiwen looked at the area on the map, the Malay and Indonesian monkeys of later generations, and his heart was full of murderous intentions.

Those are a group of white-eyed wolves who don't know good and bad. Later generations don't know how many Han people have been killed, but because they are envious of the hard-earned wealth of the Han people, Feng Daiwen naturally doesn't need to be polite to them.

"Hey! That's right, what Brother Feng said is very true. I heard from my family that the natives over there are extremely lazy, and they don't work without a whip. Only women are hardworking." Du He laughed, and quickly seized the opportunity to cooperate with Feng Daiwen. Said.

"Haha! Such a person should be arrested for labor reform, woman! Let's help take care of it, haha!" Cheng Chumo said with a lewd smile.
