Chapter 336 The Capital of the Prairie
After hearing Li Mi's words, the generals couldn't help but look in admiration. This is the insight that is high-level. If it were Zhai Rang, I'm afraid he would never have thought of this in his life.
This is why Wang Bodang and Xu Shiji elected Li Mi to replace Zhai Rang as the leader of Wagang Village at that time.
"Why would we ask Duke Wei, how should we answer Dou Jiande's letter?" Yuan Baozang asked.
Li Mi thought for a while and said, "Hebei must be stable, Dou Jiande must be pacified, and Li Chongjiu must be won over. Only in this way can we make peace with the East Capital. Gu Hui wrote a letter to appease Dou Jiande. In addition, isn't Li Chongjiu a fake governor of Youzhou? This time he seized two counties and six counties in Youzhou, and he has taken all the robberies for him. I will give him the tribute to him and let him be the real governor of Youzhou. First, to win over Li Chongjiu, and second, Dou Jiande will understand Gu's meaning."
For Li Mi, just two letters and one Youzhou governor can exchange for Hebei's stability, so why not do it?
"No." All the generals agreed and admired them all. Shan Xiongxin suppressed his joy and said to himself: Xiaojiu, Xiaojiu, you are such a lucky person.
Just as everyone was drinking, someone suddenly came to report outside the tent and said, "I reported to Duke Wei, Yu Wen and Design, and killed Sima Dekan, Li Ben, Yin Zhengqing and other generals, and took control of the military power of the Xiaoguo army. Now he is leading more than 100,000 troops to Pengcheng. Because the waterway is blocked, he will take over land to seize the civil carriage and get 2,000 vehicles. Duke Meng Hai of Jiyin County and Wang Gui of Dong County all have the opportunity to be the Yu Wen and echo."
When everyone heard this, they were shocked. General Wang Bodang said, "Get the map quickly!"
Li Mi brushed her sleeves and said, "No need. I already know that Jiyin County and Dongjun are all Yu Culture and their own, and cut off our Wagang Army and Shandong. And if Yu Culture and if they go from Jiyin County to Mengjin Ferry, they can cross the Yellow River and arrive in Hebei immediately. In this way, my foundation will be lost."
After hearing this, everyone looked at the map and found that as Li Mi said, Yu Wenji was equivalent to threatening Li Mi's retreat.
Yu Culture and has three choices. If Yu Culture and what he said take Dongdu and return to the pass, then Li Mi attacked Dongdu for half a year and would hand it over to Yu Culture and Culture and Culture and Culture.
If Yu Wenji crosses the Yellow River, then Li Mi will be lost in the five counties in Hebei.
If Yu Wenji goes to Shandong, then the powerful people from Shandong will imitate Meng Haigong, such as Xu Yuanlang and Liu Badao. Wang Bowan betrayed the Wagang Army and surrendered Yu Wenji, then the power of the Wagang Army in Shandong will be gone.
So no matter which of Yu Culture or the next three choices, Li Mi is very passive.
What should be done next?
All the generals were helpless.
Li Mi was also walking. What he thought of at this moment was not Yu Wenji, but suddenly remembering when he was in White Horse Temple. He met Li Chongjiu by chance in the restaurant.
At that time, the two were talking nonsense, and Li Chongjiuyan himself was well-versed in the world. However, he still secretly ridiculed him. But he remembered the words of urging him to start Hebei and Shandong and then compete for power in the Eastern Capital. Did he predict his situation in advance before he could predict his current situation?
It was impossible. At that time, the other party was just a commoner. At that time, he was still under Yang Xuangan's command and planned for him.
Now Li Chongjiu is the governor of Youzhou and himself is the leader of the Wagang Army. Did the other party expect the situation today?
Thinking of this, Li Mi stopped suddenly. Who is Li Chongjiu? Could he be able to master the magic of gods and ghosts? If he had listened to Li Chongjiu's words and did not compete for the Eastern Capital and took Hebei first, how could he have today's dilemma?
What a divine thing? How could there be people who know the uncertainty in the world? Li Chongjiu just said it by chance and just told him the right thing. Yu Wenhua and now, how could it be difficult for me to get Li Mi? So many storms and waves have come over me, and I will never stop here.
Li Mi immediately raised his feather fan and said, "Send the order to remove the siege of Dongdu!"
"But our army has been surrounded for half a year and is about to succeed!"
"No need to say anything, I have decided!" Li Mi said firmly, "Send someone else to Dongdu to inquire about the news of the court. I expected that the emperor died in Jiangdu, but the royal family could not inherit it. Dongdu will be in trouble!"
Yuyi Town.
This original military town, the modern grassland capital, has already rejuvenated its new year.
Camel caravans from the north came to the city continuously. The camel bells rang, and the camelskin, cowhide, mink, mizushou, horse milk wine, milk lumps, medicinal materials, and other items were transported to the entrance of Caoshi City to prepare to enter the city.
The three-zhang rammed loess city wall stands tall. On the battle shed, there are a team of soldiers carrying crossbows, holding long robbers, patrolling back and forth. Crossbow chariots, stone throwing machines and other city guard equipment are all covered with cloth to shock those who are not young.
Before the city gate, there were several teams of cavalry patrolling, with the gates closed, while the left and right gates were open, entering and leaving left and exiting. Now inside and outside the two city gates, there were caravans who wanted to leave the city or enter the city.
The caravan lined up in a long line, with camels next to camels.
The garrisons at the city gate were checked one by one in the caravan. First, to investigate whether there were any prohibited items, and second, to register and sell goods. After the store tax was abolished in Yuyi Town, merchants did not have to go out of the city to pay money. They just needed to collect transaction money based on the amount of goods sold after leaving the city.
After entering the city gate, the caravans will find familiar inns to stay. If the caravans are generally in Yuyi Town, they will have a semicolon or a head office, and they can just transport the goods to the head office business name.
The small caravan must stay in the inn, wait for the opportunity to market tomorrow, sell the goods to local businesses, or sell them directly to the people.
On the north street of Yuyi Town, there are now inns running away. Li Chongjiu proposed to Lin Dangfeng that one-stop service in Yuyi Town was formed.
The Lin Family Store is already the leading chamber of commerce in Yuyi Town, the newly built Cao City. The three-story Lin Family Restaurant stands proudly in the most prosperous place.
If you don’t do business, as a foreigner, what about a one-day trip to Yuyi Town?
First, you go to the Lin Family Restaurant at noon and fill your stomach. This Lin Family Restaurant is the largest restaurant in the city, including Western Regions chefs, Han Chinese chefs, and French chefs. There are all kinds of flavors you want to eat here.
The lobby on the first floor is eaten by ordinary diners, but it is already valuable. Each table costs at least more than 100 yuan. As for the second and third floors, private rooms and private rooms, there are also music sings. The meal costs at least several hundred yuan per person, and even a thousand yuan is not vague.
After filling my stomach and eating the delicious food from all over the country, I went to the inn next to the restaurant and placed a ceremony.
This is a large inn where thousands of people live. Here you can meet the caravans with accents from the Rixi Region, the North of the Mo, the Grassland, the Liaodong, and the Goguryeo. It is just that the property is expensive overnight, so you can stay in the big chamber of commerce with rich financial resources.
You can drink tea, drink wine, and have someone to place you here. You can also send a waiter to run errands to deliver letters. If you spare money, you can also live in a single-door and private yard room where four servants and maids are serving you.
After the ceremony is placed, you have to wash the dust on the journey.
In the restaurant and inn, there is a bathhouse that can accommodate hundreds of people to bathe. The bathhouse is filled with hot water every day, and it is not closed for twelve hours a day.
The pool is dug directly on the ground and then the ground dragon is connected. This way, there is a large pool that can accommodate more than 30 people to bathe in a mixed bath, a small pool that can quietly talk about business, and a single bathtub.
You are in a warm pool, wash your body that has not been washed for more than half a month, rub the old mud, and finally ask a massage master to relax your muscles and bones, and eat some almond cakes, and get exhausted.
Such a leisurely life is really ignorant of the years, but as an outsider, the wonderfulness at night is just beginning.
At night or in the evening, you have to go to Yuyi Town the most famous brothel and the brothel opened by the Lin family and Feiyue Tower.
Among them, the beauties come from all over the world, including the Western Regions with green eyes and high noses, exotic styles, Turks, Khitans, Xi people on the grassland, enthusiastic and unrestrained Hu women, gentle Goguryeo women, Han women from Youzhou, and even beauties from Jiangnan. You need women of all kinds to find them inside.
The women here in Feiyuelou are all voluntarily, and it is also the principle of being able to sell their skills but not their own. If you want to win the girl's heart, you will have their own methods because more people come here to see you.
It is circulating on the grassland that you have to go to Feiyue Tower, otherwise you will regret it as a man’s words, which will make everyone yearn for. After Feiyue Tower,
This is the style of Yuyi Town, the grassland capital. Li Chongjiu stood on the top of Dahong City and looked at the Caoshi in Yuyi Town. Even he couldn't help but be ready to move, and he had the intention of leaving his wife and children temporarily to have fun for a night.
However, the original plan he had given Lin Dangfeng has been realized now. Now, under his own support, the Lin Family Chamber of Commerce has become the chief chamber of grasslands and more than a dozen small caravans.
Now, whether it is Yuyi Town or Huaihuang Town, for Li Chongjiu, it is a daily gain of gold and becoming a trading center between the grassland and the Han area.
When Li Chongjiu returned to Yuyi Town this time, he took a break from his busy schedule to see his wife and children, but in Dahong City, he was blocked by the leaders of various tribes who came to congratulate him.
Whether it was Ying Hefu, Ertuo and other foreign generals, as well as the elders of Shidexi, and the chambers of commerce in Huaihuang Town and Yuyi Town, although they came to congratulate Li Chongjiu for giving birth to a son, they all tactfully proposed that the Khanate Court be moved to Yuyi Town, and set it up as the future capital of Li Chongjiu across the Han Khan Kingdom in the future, and at the same time, they set up Shideyun as the main wife.
For Li Chongjiu, although Yuyi Town was prosperous, his focus in the future was still on the Central Plains. If the capital was set up here, it would go against his plan to advance to the Central Plains, so he would not take it.
