I Built a Territory in Ancient Times

After a long time, Ming Yu's brows gradually stretched, and he snapped his fingers lightly, and said excitedly: "Yes, maybe we can really divert this section of Qifeng River, as long as the river can flow from the west of Changlan Mountain, Nourish this pasture, then it is most suitable for this place to become the largest horse breeding place in Liangzhou.”

Ming Yu's soaring attitude made Xie Yixiu soar with his mood. Ming Yu always has the charm of his unique style, which infects the people around him and around him.

Xie Yixiu's eyes softened, "That's good."

Ming Yu groaned, and wailed, "Ah, ah! But this is another big project, and it will cost a lot of money. This king is short of money!"

He has never been worried about money before, but now he feels more and more that silver is useless, and he has to spend money wherever he goes. No, it is true that the goods brought back from the Western Regions can be realized as soon as possible.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Xie Yixiu who was caught off guard and didn't have time to look away. He was only slightly taken aback, and said with a smile: "General Xie, I heard that General Xie is rich! How about it, do you have any? Interested in investing a little together, a small investment now, a big return in the future!"

As a general, he only needs to lead troops to fight. Wherever he needs to participate in the race, with the prince Ming Yu, he still has to avoid suspicion. So, Xie Yixiu shook his head and refused directly, "I don't have any wealth, so how can you say that you are rich? Your lord, did you hear it wrong?"

Ming Yu pouted in disbelief, a man's mouth is a liar, Xie Yixiu has already plundered the past benefits from his own side, so why is he still pretending to be poor? However, he also knew the reason of avoiding suspicion in the officialdom, so he was just joking, and he did not necessarily want to join him.

After making a few more jokes, Ming Yu just gave up, and his mind fell on the matter in front of him.

Of course, diverting water and changing the river course is not a trivial matter that can be accomplished overnight, and it is still too early to say anything.

The most important thing is to get the money in place first, and take your time with the rest. If you don't have money, don't think about anything.

After returning, Ming Yu summoned Bua Tan overnight. Now he can only count on the batch of goods that Bu A Tan brought back. If it can be realized as soon as possible, he won't have to worry so much.

Although Bua Tan was drunk yesterday, he had sobered up a long time ago. Seeing that it was getting late, he thought that the prince would wait for two days before summoning him, but unexpectedly he was so anxious to summon him overnight.

After washing up for a while, Bua Tan went to the palace. Ming Yu had been waiting for a long time. At this time, he couldn't be polite and asked directly, "How much did you bring back from your trip to the Western Regions this time?"

Bu Atan was well prepared for Ming Yu's question, he took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to Ming Yu with both hands. "This time the list of goods is all recorded in this booklet, please take a look at it."

Ming Yu took it over and turned it over. There were more than ten pages of small print on mosquitoes and flies, all of which were classified into categories to clearly record the goods.

"My lord, the harvest this time was far more than that. Almost half of the goods were exchanged for horses." Bua Tan said truthfully.

Ming Yu nodded, surprised at the astonishing returns from foreign trade. When Bua Tan left, he only had more than a dozen trucks and swallows of goods, but when he returned, there were more than three or five times more. When these Western goods were sold, the profits would snowball.

Although Ming Yu had already predicted this before, but when he really saw it and took it in his hand, it still made Ming Yu feel a little unreal.

No wonder, since ancient times, they have paid great attention to foreign commerce and trade, and there are even foreign trade taxes that are no less than the local taxes. There were once merchants who risked their lives to smuggle goods, which was driven by huge interests.

This also makes Ming Yu firmly confident to build Liangcheng into a foreign trade distribution center. In this way, Liangcheng can feed the entire Liangzhou just by collecting taxes from the merchants.

Ming Yu nodded, looking at the spices in the booklet, gem agate, fur blankets and all kinds of Western treasures full of characteristics, Ming Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. , his stables depended on these things.

"You have done a good job." Ming Yu praised, "Doing things with this king, this king will not treat you badly, and when the time is right in the future, this king will play the court to show his merit for you."

Buatan was overjoyed. The words of the prince have already made it clear that in the future, he will no longer be an unknown pawn, and may even be rewarded by the Dayan court.

"Doing things for the lord, the villain dare not be greedy for merit, but only wants to do his best to complete the task of the prince's generation, in order to repay the prince's kindness to the villain." Bua Tan said sincerely.

If it wasn't for the prince, he might have accomplished nothing by now. He had already understood the risks on this trip, if it wasn't for the prince to arrange it properly. Just because he wanted to rashly travel west, he would never succeed. It was the prince who fulfilled his lifelong wish, and he will go through fire and water for the prince.

Ming Yu smiled and waved his hand, "In the future, when you travel to the Western Regions, you will have to work hard for you. This king is not a mean and unkind person. You just need to remember that if you pay, you will be rewarded. This king will remember it."
