303 Poor enough to jump off a building


During the Western Han Dynasty, the Yellow Emperor of the Central Plains ordered troops to station troops in Gaochang.

From then on, the children of the Han soldiers took root and multiplied here.

Hundreds of years have passed in the blink of an eye, and now in the Gaochang Kingdom, there are not only many Han people, but also many Turks and miscellaneous people from all over the world.

As an important crossroads on the Silk Road, this country's commerce is quite developed, and cultures from various countries also meet here.

However, Gaochang State is very similar to the Central Plains in terms of national structure, laws, and folk customs.

People here also celebrate New Year's Eve.

Because the place is relatively wealthy, the four major cities in the country are usually very lively during the New Year.

The royal family will also hold various celebrations to celebrate with the people.

This year's situation is a little different.

It's almost New Year's Eve, and the palace is actually quiet, with no movement at all.

Every day, I see only the princes and ministers hurriedly coming in and out.

Many people in the city speculated that it was because of the Tang Dynasty's announcement to send troops to their Gaochang Kingdom.

However, the Central Plains and their Gaochang Kingdom were six thousand miles apart.

After leaving the territory of the Tang Dynasty, they had to cross They had to cross the vast Gobi Desert to reach them.

Could those Han soldiers survive?

Originally, the Gaochang royal family had such a sense of luck, and also thought that they would have Turks to rely on.

It should not be too difficult to resist the Tang army who came all the way to come to them.

Who would have thought that the monks who came back from Dunhuang City would bring them such news, saying that they met a strange man there and that he brought them the instructions of the Buddha.

Recently, King Qu Wentai of Gaochang, his son Qu Zhisheng, and all the princes and ministers of Gaochang Kingdom are working day and night to discuss countermeasures and arrange follow-up matters.

They all believed in the content of that note.

It was clearly the mercy of the Buddha.

Because they couldn't bear to see the people of Gaochang being slaughtered, they appeared in the mortal world and gave them hint.

The Gaochang Kingdom originally lived in the gap between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks.

When the two empires were evenly matched, Gaochang still had room to breathe.

Once this balance was broken, the Gaochang Kingdom caught in the middle would often suffer.

Now, the Turks will be destroyed "The Turks will be destroyed, and Gaochang'an will be intact.

Instead of stubbornly resisting, why not surrender to the Tang Dynasty?"

How to do it, Buddha has already made it clear.

The problem now is that Datang has announced that it will use troops against Gaochang.

If they show weakness at this time, the other party may not give up easily.

Furthermore, what is the purpose of those Central Plains people declaring war on them this time?

Do they want Gaochang State to surrender, or do they intend to completely turn the land of Gaochang State into the land of Tang Dynasty.

Now it is no longer a question of whether they are willing to surrender, but a question of whether the Central Plains people are willing to accept it.

Just when everyone was at a loss, a minister suggested that King Gaochang present a treasure to the Emperor of the Central Plains.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Qu Wentai had actually expected this, but until this moment, when someone actually made this suggestion to him face to face, he was still full of reluctance.

"Since your Majesty has obtained a new treasure, let's give up the old treasure.

Although the treasure is good, it is not as important as the lives of my people in Gaochang," the man said.

The so-called new treasure is the white piece of paper brought back by the saints.

The material of the piece of paper is rare, and the handwriting on it is even more unlike what can be found in the world.

The Gaochang royal family and these princes and ministers all regard it as a treasure, not only because It is rare, especially because it is a trace left by the Buddha when he appeared in this world.

Qu Wentai remained silent.

"Your Majesty," the ministers urged sadly.

"How can I offer it?"

At this time, Qu Wentai finally spoke, his breath seemed a bit weak.

In the current Gaochang Kingdom, there are Turks everywhere, and there are also Turkic troops stationed in the country.

As long as there is a slight disturbance on their side, the Turks will definitely get the news.

There are many dangers along the way to this treasure presentation, and I don’t know how many Gaochangs there will be.

My son died in a foreign land, and the yellow sand covered his face

In Lishi County, there has been no news from Gao Changguo since Da Luo Yong sent away Chen Ji.

In the blink of an eye, the New Year passed and the time came to the first month of the fourteenth year of Zhenguan.

One day at the beginning of the first month, the soldiers guarding the city reported to Luo Yong that there was the sound of horse racing outside the city last night.

Two or three people passed by, but there were not many people. , as many as fifty, as little as twenty or so, I don’t know whether they are soldiers, merchants, or family members of some squire or wealthy family.

Luo Yong was not sure whether these groups of people were related to the Gaochang Kingdom.

While paying attention secretly, he asked the county lieutenant Guo Fenglai to send a few more officers to guard the city gate.

For a long time after that, there was no movement.

It was not until February that news came from Dunhuang that Prince Qu Zhisheng of Gaochang went to Chang'an City to present treasures.

At the end of February, another news came from the direction of Jinchang, saying that the imperial court would no longer attack Gaochang.

A few days later, there was news that Gaochang was rude and prevented the Western Region vassal states from entering Beijing.

This time, even if they offered their national treasures, they could not easily overcome it, so the battle to conquer Gaochang would definitely go on as scheduled.

The news on the street is chaotic.

One day they say this, and tomorrow they say that.

They say everything, and the people in the city don't know which one to believe.

Not to mention the common people of Chang Le, even people like Tang Jian didn't know how the situation would develop at this time.

They just asked Luo Yong to build the city wall when he should, and store grain when he should, and drive carefully for thousands of years.

Boat.

The clan disciples sent by the sage from Chang'an City finally arrived in Changle County in February of this year.

I heard that their group encountered some troubles on the road.

Two young men were injured by the gangsters.

They were not seriously injured at all.

Their lives were not affected, but their trip was delayed.

At the end of last winter, news came from Chang'an City that they were planning to conquer Gaochang.

By that time, their group had already entered the Hexi Corridor.

Infinitely good literature, all in Jinjiang Literature City Hearing that there was likely to be a war in the Changle area of ​​Dunhuang, several of them backed down, saying that a gentleman would not stand behind a dangerous wall.

If this war really breaks out, Changle County may also be affected.

They Why don't we stay there and wait, and we'll see what happens later.

Some people even directly proposed that they want to go back to Chang'an City.

Although they were not short of food, money and silk along the way, they also suffered a lot.

Moreover, the further west they went, the more desolate and barren they saw in front of them, so They missed the prosperity and prosperity of Chang'an City even more.

They lived a good life in Chang'an City, eating and drinking well.

Although their situation in the family was a little unsatisfactory, they still came from a noble family after all.

Not to mention anything else, as long as they were willing to work hard, use more effort to study, and achieve some results.

After arriving, the family will naturally pay attention to them.

Why do people like them go to Changle County, a remote and poor country, to suffer hardship?

So what if they learn the culture of the Western Regions?

It is not a good thing to go to the various trade routes in the Western Regions to increase their knowledge.

This time, the group of gangsters they met on the road completely made these noble men understand that the more backward and desolate the place, the more ferocious the wolves, tigers and leopards are, and the less valuable human life is.

Compared with this Hexi city, Chang'an City, Not only is it rich, but it is also safe.

Let alone those robbers and bandits, even if there is a war between countries, they cannot easily break into Chang'an City.

In the past, they laughed at those people who came from small families and tried their best to stay in Chang'an City and become officials.

Now it seems that they, the noble men, have been born in Chang'an City since they were young, and they don't know how good Chang'an City is.

Now that they understand, they want to go back.

At that time, as soon as the voice of wanting to return to Chang'an City appeared, several people agreed.

So in the end the team was divided into two, with some continuing to Changle County and the other heading back to Chang'an.

There were also some who were undecided and wanted to stay there and wait and see, but in the end they all made their own decisions, either going to Changle or returning to Chang'an.

In the end, less than ten people arrived in Changle County, and two of them were lucky.

However, by the time the two of them arrived at Changle County, their injuries had basically healed.

The young man had good health and strong vitality.

As long as he survived the most dangerous stage, he would be able to heal later.

Very fast too.

Before these people arrived in Changle County, they had already heard that the magistrate of Changle County was short of money recently.

They were all so poor that they almost jumped off the building.

The goods produced by the official workshops in their county were all...

It's a discounted sale.

I heard that no matter how much they get, they are willing to sell them if they see the money.

They can also make food, cloth, and silk.

The food is the best.

It is said that Changle County is repairing the city wall.

Hundreds of young people want to eat every day, and they eat all the government granaries.

Empty.

After hearing the news, these young gentlemen from the noble clan felt a little uneasy.

Infinitely good literature, all in Jinjiang Literature City It seems that Changle County is really extremely poor.

It is famous for being so poor.

How will they live in Changle County in the future?

Who would have thought that when they arrived in Changle County, they would see a scene of great enthusiasm.

The young men were repairing the city walls.

The cement workshops outside the city were also busy, and merchants and vendors were constantly coming and going.

After entering the city, because of hunger and curiosity, these young gentlemen did not report to the government office immediately, but went into a restaurant that seemed to be doing good business.

"Please come in with some gentlemen" "Several gentlemen eat too much" "Today, our secret bacon in Changle County is only half price.

It used to cost thirty cents per pound, but now it only costs fifteen cents per pound."

"A few gentlemen want to buy some to try."

"We, County Magistrate Luo, don't have any money at the moment.

When he recovers, he won't have such a good price."

“The store will bring you another fish-flavored shredded pork” “Okay” "The store will serve us another bowl of winter melon soup."

"Hey, come here" "store" "Hey, come here, come here."

These young gentlemen from Chang'an City were sitting in the shop, and they saw that there were many diners in the shop, in small groups, bustling and quite lively.

The shopkeeper was so busy that his feet didn't even touch the floor, sweat broke out on his forehead, his face was red, his face was full of spring breeze, and his eyes were sparkling.

This place still looks like a war is about to start, and this place looks like it is so poor that it is about to jump off the building.

The author has something to say: I went out for a walk this weekend, and it was quite late when I came back to code.

I kept everyone waiting for a long time.

I wish you all a happy reading and good night.
