350. News leak

From Daze to Dunhuang, there is a river called Shule River in later generations. It is flowing from Xinghupo in Dunhuang to Daze in Guazhou. It was called Hulu River at that time.

There are some large shallows in the upper reaches of the Hulu River, which can be passed by horseback. Some vendors who go out of customs to do business often come in and out of here. Most of the young ladies from the cashmere workshops come from here. I heard that when Master Xuanzang came out of the customs, he also came here.

Outside the pass north of Jinchang, on the next grassland between Daze and Baowen Mountain, there is a military camp called Baizhangshouzha. There are many soldiers and local tribes, some soldiers' families, veterans, and a large number of exiled people.

In such a place, the folk customs are mostly very strong. Earlier, there were two young ladies fighting in the cashmere workshop. One of them was from the Hundred Treasures, and the other was also a herdsman outside the pass.

The two of them lived in the same workhouse together, and they were both quite strong. Over time, they became a little disagreeable. At the beginning of last month, after Aunt Luo paid the wages from last month, she asked her to carry her from a cake shop customized for her from Jinchang from the warehouse. However, the two little ladies started fighting in public just to earn a piece of cake that looked relatively larger.

These two young ladies were later arranged by Aunt Luo to the manager who was from a military family and asked her to take them with her to teach them how to do foreign affairs.

Such a strong and capable personality makes them sit in the workshop all day long and spinning and weaving clothes. If it weren't for the few delicious meals every day, the monthly wages and the beautiful clothes that they have every season, they would definitely not be able to bear it.

Now, let them go to work for cashmere workshops for foreign affairs, and don’t have to stay in the workshop all day, and can also eat and drink with public funds. Both of them feel very happy. Over time, their relationship has been much better than before.

In this era when spiritual entertainment is very scarce, most people prefer liveliness and are full of curiosity about places they have never been to.

The people from Changle Academy have also told Luo Yong recently that they were going to study in Yizhou.

Luo Yong had promised Tang Jian before. Now that "The Song of White Drops" has long been widely circulated, they have also made a lot of money by selling white cloth and white seeds in Changle County. It is indeed time to fulfill their promise.

According to Tang Jian's meaning, when the wooden track in Yiwu was paved, the Changle County Duke's Mansion allocated money and silk to send their Changle Academy's teachers and students out for study tours. They first went to Yiwu, then went to Gaochang and Yanqi and other places to experience the customs and culture there carefully, and came back in three to five months.

In this era, it is normal to travel for only three or five months, and it is also a matter of traveling for several years.

"It's time for this year. When the Yiwu wooden track is repaired, it will be winter in another month or two. What's the point of traveling? Why would you go there again after spring next year?" Tang Jian and Luo Yong mentioned the study tour on this day, and Luo Yong said.

Lord Tang said, "Autumn passed and spring came back. It was just right. There was also a way to travel to the winter."

This is not the first time I have said this. Luo Yong was worried that he would push and stop him again. Lord Tang should be unhappy, so he said to him: "I heard several Turkic merchants mention that Yipi Dulu intends to attack Yizhou, but I don't know whether it is true or false."

"What happened?" Tang Jian was skeptical. He mentioned Luo Yong several times about this study tour. Every time Luo Yong advised him to go again next year. He was originally wondering if he felt sorry for money. Think about it carefully, this coffin board is not such a person who speaks without trust.

But the Turks really dared to fight Yizhou? The Turks have been in constant civil strife in recent years. Gaochang had just suffered another defeat earlier.

Last year, the Tang army fought with Xue Yantuo, Yibidulu and Yehu Khan fought, each fighting their own. The Central Plains and the Turks were also peaceful, and there were envoys on both sides. Tang Jian also said that Longxi should be able to live in peace for several years.

After dinner, Dean Tang wiped his mouth and returned to Changle Academy. There was also a canteen on the academy. He just heard that there were good dishes at the county government office today, so he came over.

The young men in the academy were pestering Dean Tang to ask about the study tour. These people have learned a lot of humanities and geography about the Western Regions, and some people specialize in Turkic dialect. After studying in the academy for so long, they have long wanted to go out and sway.

Tang Jian said that this year is probably not going to work, so he should go there again in the spring next year. The students stopped doing it, and the gap in their hearts was too big and it was too difficult to accept, so they all started to make a fuss and almost lifted up all the thatch on the roof of the academy.

Tang Jian had no choice but to scold and comfort him, so he also told them what Luo Yong said just now, and said that Luo Yong still has credit for this person, so that they could wait till the spring of next year.

The academy was making a lot of noise, and some people nearby heard the news. Somehow, the news that the Turks were deliberately trying to attack Yizhou was spread.

It is early autumn now, and many local merchants in Changle County are in exchange for each other, including many Turkic merchants...

Around the Mid-Autumn Festival, Turkic Khan Yipidulu was preparing to attack Yizhou. A confidant of his hustle and hurriedly ran in from outside and said to him in a panic:
Chapter completed!
