Chapter 352 Land Replanting

Promises are true, and things that are impermanent are true.

Gu Qing didn't want to deceive a poor man who had a country and a family. He just had a difficult future. Faced with the upcoming troubled times, he could not be sure whether he could fulfill his promise.

Troubled times are like chess. I just hope that the ground in Anxi can maintain peace. Even if things cannot be done, at least there will be a pure land.

"Can the Marquis really help Zhaowu's ninth surname be rehabilitated and restore the country?" Kang Dings looked excited.

Gu Qing nodded and said, "The Nine surnames of Zhaowu are innocent, and everything is just Gao Xianzhi's personal actions. In fact, the Tang Dynasty is not hostile to you. Gao Xianzhi destroyed the Shi Kingdom and Tuqi Shi, but the Chang'an court did not give Gao Xianzhi any rewards. From this point you should be able to guess the attitude of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty towards Gao Xianzhi's destruction of the Shi Kingdom."

After sighing, Gu Qing said again: "It is naturally wrong, but the court cannot lose its authority. Even if it is wrong, it can only hold on to it. Therefore, the amnesty order I issued said that you will forgive your sins. You are not guilty, but you still have to say that you will forgive your sins. I have found a way out for myself on behalf of the court and lay the groundwork for helping you to calm down the country in the future. Do you understand what I mean?"

Kang Dingshuang was silent for a while and said slowly: "I can understand the Marquis' painstaking efforts. Gao Xianzhi is the culprit. I will not blame the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, nor the Anxi Army."

Gu Qing said again: "The culprit is Gao Xianzhi, but you can't kill him. If you kill him, all the promises I made just now to rehabilitate and restore the country will be invalidated. From then on, you will be the enemies of the Tang Dynasty and will not be able to turn over from generation to generation."

Kang Ding was shocked and lowered his head and said, "Yes, I won't kill Gao Xianzhi, and I can even salute when I see Gao Xianzhi."

Gu Qing sighed: "In life, it is not easy to be happy and revenge. There are too many bonds and are afraid of weapons. You should take action but dare not take action. For the sake of the word "pros and cons", it destroys human nature's good, evil, joy and anger. Is it painful?"

"pain."

"This is life."

Kang Dingshuang looked up and couldn't help asking, "Have you ever seen a man who wishes to be resentful? Have you ever seen a man who ignores nothing for good and evil, joy and anger?"

Gu Qing's eyes were blurred?                                                                                                                           

Kang Dingshuang was shocked and murmured: "What kind of people are that?"

"They are just ordinary people? But they want to do something for the people when they are alive? Even if nothing can be changed in the end, they will do it."

Gu Qing looked lost and suddenly remembered his strange parents.

Before they died, they were thinking about the most hero? Or were they helpless children far away in a remote mountain village in Shuzhou?

Kang Dings looked hesitant? After a long time, he whispered: "I am willing to assist the Marquis. Please do not forget it in the five years."

Gu Qing nodded: "Okay, five years? Five years later, the court will rehabilitate the ninth surname of Zhaowu. I will help you restore the country."

Kang Dingshuang emphasized his tone and said, "After the nine surnames of Zhaowu are restored, I still want to worship the Tang Dynasty as the sect leader and pay tribute to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty every year? I serve the etiquette of foreign ministers."

Gu Qing continued: "The Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty is still the protection of the nine surnames of Zhaowu. No matter how dare any enemy attack the nine surnames of Zhaowu? The Anxi Army will send troops to help."

Kang Dingshuang stood up and bowed: "Marquis? Kang Dingshuang will serve the Marquis from now on."

Gu Qing smiled and said, "From today? All the business of the merchants in the four towns of Anxi will be handed over to you. Your task is to help me make money. I have a general strategy document. Stop and have someone send it to you. Follow my strategy document. Within two years, I want all the income of the four towns of Anxi to meet the needs of the military and civilians of Anxi. The money I earn is used to hoard food and grass and weapons, and be available at any time."

Kang Dingshuang said curiously: "Stock food, grass and weapons... Anxi has had a big battle recently?"

"Maybe there will be a big war in a short time, and it will be correct to prepare for the future..." Gu Qing said again: "By the way, I will leave the business matters to you, but I will still handle the matters about the Tubo merchants myself."

“Why?”

Gu Qing smiled mysteriously: "Tubo merchants are different. They are doing big deals, big deals."

Seeing Gu Qing avoiding answers, Kang Ding said tactfully: "Yes, the business of Tubo merchants will not be involved."

…………

The Tubo merchants are indeed here again.

After the first group of Tubo merchants who tasted the sweetness, Lazawang and the other three returned, they soon organized a huge caravan to come to Kucha again.

This caravan has hundreds of camels, full of various medicinal herbs from Tubo, mainly composed of Tianshan snow lotus and Rhodiola, as well as some gentian grass and Huhuanglian.

The speed of merchants inquiring about the news was amazing. Lazawang and the other two returned to Tubo, plundering various medicinal materials all over the world, but I don’t know where to hear that Kucha City urgently needed a large number of Tianshan snow lotus. It is said that this medicine is very effective in treating gynecological diseases.

In the spirit of seeking truth from facts, Lazawang was skeptical and tried a lot of effort to find a doctor from the Tang Dynasty in Tubo. The doctor told him that Tianshan Snow Lotus has a strong medicinal properties and has the effect of warming the uterus, which is indeed effective for women with dysmenorrhea and cold uterine.

With the doctor's affirmative answer, Lazawang and the other two finally calmed down, so they bought Tianshan Snow Lotus locally.

Not only did they acquire it, but Lazawang also changed all the land under his name to Tianshan Snow Lotus, and tried hard to persuade other landlords and powerful people to change to Tianshan Snow Lotus. The reason they convinced the landlords was very simple, just to settle the score for them.

How much can one acre of Tianshan snow lotus produce? How much can one acre of barley land produce? The price of selling one acre of Tianshan snow lotus is at least worth ten acres of barley. Can’t you buy grain by yourself with the money to sell Tianshan snow lotus? If you are tired of eating barley, wouldn’t it be delicious if we spend money on wheat and rice produced in the Tang Kingdom?

Isn't it fun to buy one acre of grain for ten acres of land to buy a few beautiful women in the house?

The accounts were settled very clearly and easy to understand, and the landlords quickly understood.

But what the landlords hesitate about is the price of medicinal materials. Perhaps the Tang Kingdom urgently needs this medicinal material this year, but it will not be needed next year.

Lazawang told the landlords confidently that if it were medicinal materials for Tang Jun to treat injuries, he might not be able to guarantee that there would be such a generous price next year, but Tianshan snow lotus is for women. As we all know, women have problems every month, and it is impossible for women in Tang to have collective menopause next year. Therefore, as long as women still bleeding every month, Tianshan snow lotus will definitely have a market and will definitely be sold at a good price.

The landlords thought it made sense.

Military medicinal materials are indeed unreliable and may be stopped at any time, but civilian medicinal materials cannot have no market. The price may fluctuate slightly, but the demand must be long-term.

Under the world, only the plateau climate of Tubo can widely plant Tianshan snow lotus. Tubo landlords accidentally discovered a monopoly transaction, which is about to be issued.

Later, a group of Tubo merchants came back from Kucha City one after another, and they were all red and asked if they had made a lot of money. The merchants laughed and looked mysterious and reluctant to say it, but from their expressions, they could see that they would definitely make a lot of money in Kucha City this trip.

As batches of Tubo merchants returned to Tubo from Kucha City, seeing them in a hurry to purchase medicinal materials, the landlords and powerful people in Tubo could no longer sit still.

What does trading rely on? It is monopoly, and it is unique to everyone.

There is only one wild natural medicinal herb. After searching once or twice, it was basically dug up. However, the demand in the Tang Kingdom has been around for a long time. Do you still expect to dig wild ones?

After weighing the pros and cons, the landlords in Tubo immediately decided to plant medicinal materials. The medicinal materials they planted themselves may have a little worse medicinal properties than those in wild ones, but they should have a good appearance.

Besides, I heard that the officials who purchased medicinal materials in Tang State said that they disliked the wild medicinal materials that were ugly, not big, with wilted leaves. The medicinal materials they planted were cared for by someone, and the appearance was much better. The officials in Tang State only recognized the medicinal materials they planted. So, why are they hesitating?

As a group of merchants returning to Tubo were encouraged, the landlords in Tubo could not sit still. A large number of landlords were still watching with hesitation, but a few landlords who dared to eat crabs had ordered the land under their name to be changed to medicinal materials.

Making money is a matter of being brave and starving to death. When everyone planted herbs, the daylily became cold.

Lazawang, who returned to Kucha City, stood in front of Gu Qing and looked proud.

This time he was very excited when he came back because he brought enough medicinal materials, one hundred camels, more than two hundred people in the caravan, and the huge caravan brought huge goods, which meant a huge profit to be obtained.

When the Bodhisattva asks him to send it, he dares not not send it. Not only does he need to send it, but he also needs to send it out.

Last time I was beaten by the generals of Tang State. This beat was worth it and the cost-effectiveness was very high.

"What are you happy about? Are there many a hundred camels? Is it true that there are tens of thousands of soldiers in our Anxi Army? On average, each person can't get a piece of medicinal leaves. What are you proud of?" Gu Qing was very rude to pour a basin of cold water on Razawang.

"Mr. Marquis, the villain has done his best, but he can guarantee that the amount of medicinal materials will increase in the future. I am afraid that the Marquis will not be able to afford the price." Lazawang said with his head raised and his chest raised.

Gu Qing sneered: "Gui'er is not very angry, she has no money to give her. It's enough for me to fart in the Tang Dynasty to eat Tubo for half a year."

Lazawang's cheeks twitched and he said aggrievedly: "The Marquis's speech is so rude..."

"With this temper, how can you deal with me?" Gu Qing glanced at him and said, "The price this time cannot be tripled. You know what happened to the price of tripled last time."

Lazawang was anxious: "We worked hard to travel thousands of miles to solve the Marquis' urgent needs. The price of transporting so many medicinal materials is not small."
