The Strongest Master, Began to Contract Hua Mulan

Four hundred years ago, the Chang'an Emperor personally enshrined and established the town's mansion. The troops who came to Chang'an were stationed here, and the Great Wall in the north was the horn of the watch, guarding the fertile and fertile Heluo Plain in the east, as well as the prosperous Chang'an.

In addition to these, the Protectorate will also arrange the army moat caravan, as one of the policies of harmony with the residents of the desert land in the cloud.

Until half a month ago, the town between the Duhufu and the city, Guanshi, opened its first trade.

Decades-long vigilance and confrontation were finally put aside despite the disregard of the previous suspicions by the guards of the city and the Duhufu. Camel caravans, horse teams, and merchants with a keen sense of business came from all over the world.

In Chang'an City, eight cents worth of cloth can be sold in Guanshi for thirty cents of refined salt, paper, painting and calligraphy, and porcelain, which are luxury goods sought after by countless city nobles.

The demon fur, demon core medicinal materials, and jade hunted from the desert in the cloud will also be recovered by Chang'an merchants at a high price and shipped to large cities such as Chang'an and Luoyang for processing and manufacturing.

Unprecedented prosperity!

Guanshi, which was once harassed by wars for many years and the people did not talk about cattle, has now become an arterial passage connecting the prosperous Tang Dynasty and the land in the middle of the cloud.

The transaction volume of merchants in half a month is even comparable to some small cities in the prosperous Tang Dynasty

This is a barren and cold desert!

A few kilometers away from the city of Guan, a magnificent fortress city-state stands

Datang Yunzhong Protectorate

The heavy stones and towering city walls are completely built according to the standards of military fortresses.

General Hall.

in the mansion

In front of the desk with black carved tiger pattern, the scrolls of papers have been instructed, and the burly and tall figure finally put down the pen and ink in his hand.

Thick brass shoulder armor, pieces of taut muscles, long black hair tied into a ponytail, and a white headband with the imprint of the Protectorate of the Clouds.

Lilac scarf, beard, Chinese character face, thick eyebrows and heavy ink.

Zhenguan forty years into ten, hand-picked Hanlin

Su Lie

The son of the famous Su family in Chang'an, the status of being in the top ten made the family who had given up on his lineage more attractive, and even more intentionally included him in the ancestral temple.

Unexpectedly, this young Hanlin who was much loved by Emperor Taizong resolutely chose to leave the city of Chang'an at the foot of the emperor, and voluntarily went to the land of bitter cold.

The Protectorate of the Clouds.

It has been thirteen years since then, from Wen Hanlin, who was ridiculed by others, to the current General of the Protectorate.

Su Lie has experienced countless wars and witnessed countless deaths.

In addition to the official documents, there is a pot of petal scale flowers on the black desk

The fiery red petals are blooming like scales.

The peony, known as the national flower, is only suitable for growing in the mild land of Chang'an City, and in the desert of the Northwest Territories, only this scaly flower can bloom freely.

Next to the flowerpot is a pot of old wine, Dukang wine.

A few days ago, the Ministry General Pei Chuhu bought the boy from Guan City. If it was placed a month ago, if you want to buy Kangjiu, you must go to Dukang Village, or Xinghua Village, which is the nearest to Heluo, and it will take at least several months. the journey is costly

But now.

Guanshiyi has made these fine wines in the prosperous Tang Dynasty also exported to the land of clouds

"Grumpy"

After taking a sip of Du Kang from the wine jug, and wiping off the wine from the corner of his mouth, Su Lie finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his face showed a relaxed look.

"General, when there are so many merchants in the city, when will this tax be put on the agenda?"

A rather shrill yin and yang voice suddenly came from outside the General Hall.

He is a middle-aged man with a slender face and a gloomy look.

Mijian Army.

Laibaigan, the so-called appointed supervisor in Chang'an City, was followed by a number of ten soldiers.

In terms of official rank, the generals guarding Yunzhong Duhu are only sixth-rank generals, while the supervisors are from fifth-rank, which is one level higher than Su Lie.

However, the production of the Duhu Mansion and the Great Wall of Northern Xinjiang has not been controlled by Chang'an City for decades, because the road is long and rugged, and there are many horse thieves and demons along the way.

Court supplies are hard to reach18

As a result, after the current empress succeeded to the throne, she acquiesced in the power of the Yunzhong Duhufu and the Northern Xinjiang Great Wall Army to collect taxes on their own.

Quite dry, the military and political power are all in the hands of the commander, and the court's control over the two places is very weak.

that's exactly what

Many people above the court proposed to appoint the supervisor to the supervisor to prevent the fat cow from commanding the army and becoming a vassal warlord.

And this Mi Superintendent Army was specially appointed by the imperial court, and the rank and power are indeed higher than that of Su Lie.

It had been a few days since the Mi Jianjun arrived at the Duhu Mansion. What annoyed him was that the burly and reckless man in front of him did not have the proper etiquette to treat him.

He couldn't get used to the rough rice and simple dishes here, and he couldn't stand the bitter cold.

I thought that the Protectorate of the Clouds was close to the wealthy city, so this guard should have accumulated a thousand and eight million assets, but I didn't expect that he would be so rude to himself that he didn't even mean a little filial piety.
