"In this way, you can no longer see Hujia from the Western Regions in the West Market?" Qin Xiao asked: "After the change of Wutuo, Datang cut off trade with the Wutuo Khanate, but Wutuo has many people. At the request, the empire finally reopened trade with them. When I went to Wutuo, there were many merchants from the Tang Kingdom doing business in the Wutuo Khanate, and even some bold ones would also go to the Western Regions. Why did the Western Region Hushang not continue? Come to Datang?"
Han Yunong finally said: "In the final analysis, it is still the wrist of the Wutuo people. The Wutuo people have fought against the drama for many years, and have destroyed several countries, and they have made the Western countries afraid. The people of the Western Regions like the goods of the Tang Dynasty. Goods are also very interesting. The Wutuo people are the only way to control the business road. Their unique geographical advantages have given them the idea of reaping the benefits. The goods of the Western merchants have not yet entered the Kunlun Pass, and the seven achievements have been The Wutuo people bought it, and after they entered the customs, they sold it at a high price. In a blink of an eye, it was a dozen or even dozens of times the profit. Just like the Datang merchants leaving Jiayu Pass, unless they pay a lot of money to follow the Xiling family’s business trip, the goods are also Metropolis was acquired by the Xiling Chamber of Commerce, and they transported it to Wutuo to sell it for a lot of money."
Du Hongsheng nodded and said: "In the words of Han Duwei. Back then, the business road was smooth, and Datang and the countries of the Western Regions traded directly. Even if the price of goods was lower than now, the two sides still made huge profits. But now there lies Wu Tuo. The Khanate and even the Xiling family. They are like two monsters blocking the road. They eat people without spitting out bones. Most of the profits fall into their hands. It's getting lower and lower." He shook his head and sighed, "Even so, the trade between the two sides has continued over the years, and the treasury still has these incomes. Now that Xiling has fallen into the hands of the rebels, the treasury will only make things worse. ."
"Master Du Wei, shall we go directly to the Ministry of War?" Qin Xiao will naturally not forget the main mission of this trip to Kyoto.
Before Han Yunong spoke, Du Hongsheng had already said: "There are 108 squares in the city of Kyoto. As soon as the unitary hour arrives, the squares will be blocked and they will not move between each other. The Ministry of War is on Zhuque Street, east of the imperial city. After at least a dozen or so neighborhoods, the sky has already darkened, and we will seal up every halfway."
Qin Xiao knew that the capital city was very magnificent, but didn't want to have as many as 108 square meters. He was surprised: "Is the capital city so harsh?"
"This is the capital city after all." Du Hongsheng said sternly: "After dark, the officials of Kyoto Prefecture will patrol the streets. Unless you are a relative of the emperor, or whoever you are, you will find you walking around at night, without saying a word, catch it. Let’s talk about Kyoto Prefecture." Xiang Han Yunong Road: "Wei Han, let’s go a little further, and it’s Sipingfang. There are many inns inside. Many people who come to Beijing from other places will live in Sipingfang. First go there to find an inn to live in. The workshop will be opened tomorrow morning. I will report to the staff and then report to the Ministry of War."
Han Yunong knows that once an official sent from Kyoto enters Beijing, the first thing he must go to is to inform him of the reason for entering Beijing. Otherwise, he will leave his post without authorization. If he really wants to be investigated, he will be fined, and if serious, dismissal is common. Thing.
Therefore, the officials who are released to the outside world will stick to this rule, and the first pier to worship after entering Beijing must be the staff.
Du Hongsheng was sent to Zhen County in Xiling to serve as the county guard many years ago. He was sent by the staff, so he naturally did not dare to violate this rule.
The three of them rode to Sipingfang, where there are indeed many inns, and Qin Xiao doesn't lack any money. He found a Changle inn with a large facade and asked for three rooms.The horses are naturally led to feed.
Qin Xiao sold treasures in Wutuo and received 300,000 taels of silver. This is an extremely large fortune. Qin Xiao always carried hundreds of thousands of taels of silver with him. In addition, he also had something on him. Scattered silver, even if you are in Kyoto, there is nothing to worry about with this silver on your body.
The three of them bumped day and night and rushed from Xiling to Kyoto, but they were all very tired.
Qin Xiao ordered a table of good wine and food. After he was full of food and drink, Qin Xiao went out and bought three new sets of clothes. Although he could not leave the shop, he was very free in the shop, and there were many in this Siping shop. Shops, buying a few new clothes is naturally not difficult.
Tomorrow, they are going to the Ministry of War, and the three of them are in the dust, and their clothes are dirty. Qin Xiao wondered if he was going to the Ministry of War, he would always change his clothes and be more decent.
That night, the three of them also rested early to regain their energy. Early the next morning, Du Hongsheng got up and asked them to wait in the inn. They first went to the staff department to report their duties, and then went to the war department together after returning.
Han Yunong was born in the army and had little contact with officials. He was sent to the Duwei’s Mansion in Zhen County as an arrangement behind General Heiyu. In fact, he still belongs to the military. There is no need to report to the officials. Instead, I have to report to the Ministry of War.
Qin Xiao was originally a jailer in Xiling and belonged to a small official. Naturally, there would be no files in the six departments. Even if he followed General Heiyu later, before the Xiling Three Cavaliers were fully on track, the Ministry of War had not yet been registered. Qin Xiao So far there is no military establishment, so it is naturally not eligible to report to the military.
Du Hongsheng went out early in the morning, and the two waited at the inn until noon when Du Hongsheng came back.
Han Yunong suddenly felt uneasy, and Qin Xiao also felt that something was wrong. The two discussed it, and Han Yunong said, "I will go to the Ministry of War to check the situation. The change in Xiling must be reported to the Ministry of War as soon as possible. You can't delay it. You stay. In the inn, if I have not come back when Master Du returns, you can go to the Ministry of War and find me together." After a pause, he pondered, and shook his head: "No, after he comes back, you and him will stay here and wait for my news. ."
Qin Xiao faintly felt a little uneasy, but when he first arrived in Kyoto, he could only obey Han Yunong's instructions.
After Han Yunong left the inn, Qin Xiao stayed alone in the inn and waited for the two to return. Bored and lazy, closed the door and practiced alone.
Since knowing that the [Taigu Yiqi Jue] is one of the three inner power mental methods of Taoism, Qin Xiao has cherished this mental method even more.
According to Xiao Shigu, in this world, it is not easy to reach the realm of the Great Heaven Realm. Not only is it necessary to have extraordinary talents, but also a great opportunity.
Having talent is only one of the prerequisites for entering the Great Heaven Realm. It is possible to break into the Great Heaven Realm by obtaining the appropriate inner strength mental method, diligent practice, and the so-called suitable inner strength mental method is one of the few in this world. This kind of mentality is actually more difficult than reaching the sky.
When Hongye presented the [Taigu Yiqi Jue], Qin Xiao didn’t know that this was a Taoist mental method that countless martial arts practitioners couldn’t ask for.
It is clear.
He also knew in his heart that even if he really had martial arts talents, and he also had the [Taigu Yiqi Jue] in hand, it didn't mean that he would definitely become a master of the Great Heaven Realm.
These two things are indeed indispensable conditions on the road to the Great Heaven Realm, but they do not mean that they will be able to succeed if they have these conditions.
For Qin Xiao, practicing martial arts and protecting one's safety are more practical than reaching the Great Heaven Realm.
Now he is only a third-grade cultivation base, and only a small heavenly realm. In his mind, he only wants to reach the middle-heavy realm as soon as possible. If he reaches the middle-heavy realm as soon as possible, his own safety will be guaranteed.
Until dusk, not only did Du Hongsheng never return, but Han Yunong also never returned.
Qin Xiao felt more and more uneasy, not knowing whether he should look for it. When it was dark, the city was closed, and the two of them returned, and Qin Xiao could not leave Sipingfang.
He knew that if everything went well for Han Yunong, even if there was a delay and he couldn't come back in person, he would be notified by someone, but after he left, there was no news. Something must have happened.
I couldn't sleep this night. I waited until the next morning and couldn't stay any longer. I left Sipingfang and asked about it along the way. I finally found Zhuque Street.
Suzaku Street is the center of Kyoto, and half of the six yamen are on this street.
Qin Xiao rode up to Zhuque Street and looked for the place where the Ministry of War Yamen was located. On both sides were magnificent and solemn government offices, with soldiers guarding them in front of the door. Qin Xiao was wearing a commoner and rode on Zhuque Street on horseback. Looking at Qin Xiao riding on horseback, he just felt a little strange.
Zhuque Street is where the government office is located. On weekdays, most officials from the ministry come in sedan chairs. Although there are officials who ride on horseback, they are all in official uniforms. Even if the officials of the government office come on foot, they will all come as errands. The clothes are neat and tidy, not sloppy.
Untidy clothes and uncut edges are not a big deal to the common people, but to the officials of the government office, it is rude. Not only will they be contemptuous by their colleagues, they will even be reprimanded by the superiors.
There are government offices on both sides of Zhuque Avenue, and the people who come and go are government officials. People in common clothes hardly appear on this street. Wearing a cloth, riding a tall horse, walking slowly on Zhuque Avenue, and looking around, this is in Zhuque The main street is definitely a rare sight.
Qin Xiao was ignorant of ignorance, and only wanted to find the military headquarters, but he didn't know where he was going. Both eyes looked at him with strange gazes.
"It's here." Qin Xiao rode to the middle of Zhuque Street, and suddenly saw a high gate compound with six armored guards in front of the gate. The plaque at the door had the words "Solid deployment" written on it. In the past, before they approached, the two guards turned around, pressed the hilt of the knife with their hands, and looked cold, staring at Qin Xiao without speaking.
Qin Xiao let go of the horse's reins. He came to the Ministry of War for the first time. He didn't know the rules here. Thinking about reaching out and not hitting the smiley people, he arched his hands and smiled at the guards: "Hello, my surname, Qin, come and inquire about one. People, do you know Lieutenant Han Yunong Han? He came to your military department yesterday and has not returned. Ask if he is still here?" He smiled very kindly.
