287. Money and silk paving
Luo Yong had a conversation with these great cannibals, and the location was chosen in the hall of a guest house not far away.
On the other side, Qiao Junlin received the news and hurried over with twenty or thirty people.
When he entered the guesthouse, he saw that there was a big cannibal surrounded by most of the hall. Luo Yong had only one servant beside him. The officer was already sweating on his head at this time, but Luo Yong sat there with a smile and drank milk tea with others.
Just now, the two officers met Luo Yong on the street and saw their county walking alone on the street. They also saw these big cannibals talking to him. So one of them hurriedly went to Qiao Junlin, while the other followed Luo Yong.
He was so nervous that he felt relieved when he saw Qiao Junlin bringing almost all the officers in their county coming over, and he felt as if he had seen his own father.
"Why are you here?" Luo Yong asked him.
"I'll come here to have a cup of tea, too." Qiao Junlin replied.
"There are so many people in this hall, it's really too crowded." Luo Yong said to the big cannibal opposite him with a smile.
The big cannibal sitting opposite him was already full of doubts at this time.
When he first met Luo Yong on the street, he felt that this man was a good man. When he talked to him and saw the change in his attitude, he felt that this man was not simple, and then he dared to sit in a guesthouse with so many of them to have tea. His courage and courage, even those Hu Shang, who were licking blood on the edge of the knife, had to admire him.
I heard that in the Central Plains, many families with backgrounds have taught their children to study classics, history, and collections of gentlemen since childhood. Many young talents have become famous all over the world at a young age. In the past, they only thought that those people were fame, but they praised each other by literati. Now that they saw Luo Sanlang, they believed that those people might have real talents and knowledge.
Although Luo Sanlang is also a scholar, it seems that he does not come from those great families. I wonder what kind of education he received since childhood, how could he have such extraordinary wisdom and courage at such a young age?
"Hasan." A big cannibal next to him called him softly.
"Yeah." said the big cannibal named Hassan: "There are too many people here. You can let them go out first, just leave a few people."
With so many people present, it is indeed not convenient to speak. It would be too stupid and naive to think that the reason why these great cannibals gathered together today was just because of the two Kunlun slave boys.
Not all of them are slave traders. Besides, those people run away and die during slave trade. It is a common occurrence and is not worthy of making a big fuss. If the matter is really made big, it will be of no benefit to them, such as the big fuss merchants.
On this side, many big cannibals came out of the guest house. The first ones were naturally the weakest caravans, and then some of the less important members of other caravans. The stronger the caravans, the more members they could leave.
On the other hand, Qiao Junlin also asked most of the officers he brought to wait outside the guesthouse, leaving only a few martial arts and quick-responsive people in the hall.
...
In the end, outsiders had no idea what Luo Yong had said to these great cannibals, but they could not guess that they had reached an agreement.
In the following days, the great cannibals even transported a lot of spices and silk from Dunhuang and Jinchang and other places, and it seemed that they wanted to buy tea.
What outsiders didn't know even more was that on the night after Luo Yong talked to those people, Hassan sent one of his entourage to secretly find Qiao Junlin and handed a piece of parchment to him.
Early the next morning, a caravan with more than 30 people left Changle County in Tianweiming. Many people heard the sound of them leaving, but only a few people knew that there were also a few black people in this caravan.
Luo Yong recently met with Hu merchants in the city for drinking. As many people met, he naturally had some judgments and comparisons in his heart, which people were trustworthy and who could only eat wine together.
Luo Yong had a good impression of this caravan with more than 30 people. After measuring it in his heart many times, he revealed some information to the other party in a relatively vague way, saying that as long as they were willing to take Apu and others with them on the way west, Luo Yong could give them a considerable discount on the price of tea and white wine.
After all, these Hu merchants are brave men who dare to hike through the desert to make money. They are already very brave, so they are naturally very moved by Luo Yong's proposal.
Moreover, if they can have such a cooperation with Luo Yong, their relationship with the Changle County Magistrate will no longer be just drinkers. The Changle County Magistrate has made great achievements at a young age and his future is unlimited. If you manage this relationship well, your future may be gained beyond their imagination.
Before the large number of tea from the south arrived, Luo Yong sold all the tea left in his space to the caravan, so they set off early this day.
Starting from the sky before dawn and when the sky is completely clear, the group is quite far away from Changle County.
Thirty or forty people, more than twenty camels, formed a long line on the post road in the border town. The camels carried a lot of goods on their backs, including tea, white wine, money, food and water.
There is no crowd on the large Gobi Desert. The blue sky is wide and far-reaching, and there is no white cloud. The morning breeze blows, with a little coolness, and the camel bells sound gently on this long post road.
When Apu looked back at Liangzhou City, he only saw a vast world.
Since the day we met Luo Yong, they have lived a peaceful life until today, because the spread of the wings of the young man in the Central Plains seemed to be the storm outside, and they lived in a strong and solid house.
Now he had to walk out of that big house and face the storm outside, he also had to open his arms and protect his tribe members, as well as all those who followed and supported him, under his wings.
The road ahead was full of difficulties and obstacles, but he knew that the young man in the Central Plains had paved a path with money and wisdom.
About ten days later, after more than two months of long journey, the batch of tea that made everyone look forward to finally arrived in Changle County. For a moment, the small town became jubilant...
Far away in the Tai Chi Palace in Chang'an City, Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty asked him to take out the map of the Western Regions and take a closer look at it.
After taking over the Hexi Corridor, Emperor Wu of Han named one of the four Hexi counties, Zhangye, and used it to open his arms. In the years that followed, Hexi and other places were often lost. These arms were opened and combined. It was very difficult to defend this political and military fortress. No emperor could touch the Western Regions outside Hexi.
