Chapter 1186 The Courage to Start Over

Yun Chu spread his hands and said: "Look, this is how things are. I don't know what the marquis in you two will become in the future. Maybe, it will become a real baron?"

From now on, when the empire holds a banquet, you two brothers will sit outside the main hall just like when I went to court?

Seeing the big shots inside drinking and talking happily, but you can only entertain yourself with the cold wine and food blown by the wind?

If some people you don't like sit in the hall and occasionally send some leftover wine to your brothers, I don't believe that your brothers can bear to fight each other with immortal fists? "

Yunchu really hoped that the Wu brothers could enter Chang'an.

It's not that these two brothers are highly capable or irreplaceable, but that after his many years of education, these two brothers have become perfect Chang'an.

It has Changan thinking, Changan standards, and even Changan's unique perspective on things.

Such people can do things when they come to Chang'an, and they can contribute to Chang'an when they come to Chang'an. Not to mention, after the two brothers enter Chang'an, the emperor, the queen, including officials and gentry are worried about Chang'an becoming a self-contained entity. Disappear immediately.

The economic development of a place is definitely a top-down process, and rarely, very rarely, bottom-up development occurs.

It will be very important for Yunchu to clarify the power network of Chang'an and then make Chang'an's economic development appear to be a matter of course.

It is very, very inappropriate to hold on to the imperial power and prevent other forces from entering Chang'an. If it lasts longer, people in other places will no longer regard Chang'an as one of their own.

Chang'an, which is the enemy of the whole world, can't develop an economy. It should develop military power!

Economy and war are always two contradictory things.

One is responsible for construction and the other is responsible for destruction. In this world, no matter where Datang is built, Datang will ultimately benefit. And as long as a war occurs on the land of Datang, it will definitely be Datang who is harmed. .

And everyone understands one truth - it is much easier to destroy than to build.

Therefore, as long as there is a war between Chang'an and the Tang Dynasty, the destruction of the Tang Dynasty will not be far away.

The only beneficiaries of war are the heroes, the heroes with great ambitions.

In peaceful times, whether it is a single man who dominates the people or a hero who dominates the world to create a favorable situation for himself, he should be divided into pieces!

I would rather be a peace dog than a person in troubled times. These ten words explain many truths.

Tianjie tramples all the bones of the minister, which is very relieved and very happy. However, only those who have the mentality to avoid the enemy are the real good people.

Therefore, Yun Chu hopes that he is such a person.

Open up Chang'an's mind, embrace outsiders, change outsiders, and assimilate outsiders.

He plans to start with the Wu brothers.

"Our brothers can also gain political achievements in other places." Wu Chengsi thought for a long time before slowly saying to Yun Chu.

Yun Chu sneered and said: "The world's power comes from Chang'an and Luoyang. Apart from these two places, there is no other place. Moreover, the origin of the title is not to reward high-ranking officials, but to reward military meritorious officials.

In the past, Shang Jun's mother was a slave and his younger brother was a war slave. So what if Shang Jun fiefdomed fifteen cities? Until he was quartered by five horses, the blind mother remained a slave and was killed along with him, while his younger brother died in battle without merit.

Over the past thousand years, the Tang Dynasty was founded in Qin, and the Qin Law was implemented. However, the Qin Law of the Tang Dynasty was relatively peaceful and loose. Now, Your Majesty is preparing to reorganize the title of nobility. This kind of favor from your brothers How long do you think the no-name Marquis can last? "

Wu San thought thoughtfully and said: "Luoyang, it's not impossible."

Yun Chu smiled and said, "Are you the majority in Luoyang?"

Wu Chengsi shook his head and said: "Minority, very small minority."

Yun Chu asked again: "Are you brothers a minority in Chang'an?"

Wu Chengsi pondered for a moment and said: "The way our brothers do things is in the same vein as Chang'an."

Yun Chu asked again: "Is it more likely that a certain family will lead the army in the expedition, or your brother will lead the army in the expedition?"

Wu Sansi said with emotion: "Of course he is a prince."

Yunchu said again: "Do you think I will swallow up your military achievements?"

Wu Chengsi said: "The prince even wants to preserve the title of his traitorous general Li Yuance, let alone our brothers."

Yun Chu sighed and said: "Come to Chang'an. Although you will earn less, it is much more reliable to give a long-term title to your descendants than to leave some money to your descendants."

Wu Chengsi cupped his hands and said, "Why do you want our brothers to go to Chang'an?"

Yun Chu sighed and said: "For many years, Chang'an has been impenetrable and airtight, which has hindered Chang'an's further development. We need foreign aid and more living space.

You brothers are the only people I can see in the court who can enter Chang'an and are suitable to enter Chang'an. "

Wu San thought: "The queen rejected the prince's suggestion."

Yun Chu looked at Wu Chengsi blankly. Wu Chengsi nodded and said, "Okay, I will be in charge of the queen's place."

Yun Chu nodded, then stood up and left without any hesitation.

Wu Sansi looked at the charming maid with a dull look, and said to Wu Chengsi: "Brother, I remember when Yun Chu first came here, we brothers were still talking about not getting into the fire pit."

Wu Chengsi sat on a chair with his big belly and said, "We brothers have enough money, food, and land, but we lack power that can be passed down, that is, the title. Yunchu has grasped our vital points and will not allow us to resist."

Wu Sansi said, "Should we explain this to the queen?"

Wu Chengsi sighed and said, "Don't mention us, just say that we did this entirely for the queen."

Wu Sansi nodded. He still had a deep fear of entering Chang'an as an official.

When Yunchu left the mansion of the Wu brothers, he saw Helan Minzhi outside.

Since being dismissed by Yong Wangxian, Helan Minzhi has changed a lot. Although he is a strong man, unfortunately, since the title of Duke Zhou was reduced, he has become an ordinary person.

It is actually quite easy for ordinary people to live in Luoyang as ordinary people, but Helan Minzhi does not want to live an ordinary life with his ordinary identity. He wants a better life, so he is having a hard time now.

It is not easy for a person with huge wealth but nothing to live in Luoyang. Helan Minzhi and his wife are both people who cannot stand being bullied and are unwilling to give money to the city foxes and rats in Luoyang, so it is inevitable that they will be entangled in lawsuits.

He still has hundreds of Tibetan subordinates under his command. This is his biggest reliance at present, but it will not last long. His slaves have suffered serious losses due to many accidents.

One person died in a fight with someone today, one was hit by a carriage tomorrow, and another person came the day after tomorrow and bled from all seven orifices while eating. As long as the city foxes and rats in Luoyang are willing to work hard, the Tibetan servants of Helan Minzhi will die sooner or later.

In the past, there were still many Tibetan slaves in Luoyang City. Unfortunately, Tibetan slaves were very useful on the plateau, but they died easily after arriving in the Tang Dynasty and were not durable.

Gradually, Tibetan slaves could not be sold at a high price, and there were fewer slave traders who trafficked Tibetan slaves, only some in Shuzhong. Later, Lun Qinling led the Tibetans to leave the Tibetan Plateau and go to the warm Nipula and Lancang Kingdom. There were very few Tibetans in the Tang Dynasty.

In Chang'an, the rights of merchants and caravans from foreign countries were well guaranteed. Even if something happened, it would only happen after leaving Chang'an.

After all, Chang'an was the largest trading area in the Tang Dynasty. If foreign merchants died in Chang'an, it would have a great impact on Chang'an's economy and trade. Therefore, if foreigners wanted to live in the Tang Dynasty for a long time, Chang'an was the first choice.

There were some subtle differences between Luoyang and Chang'an.

Because the emperor was here, the group of literati was much larger than that of Chang'an. Where literati gathered, there were fewer resources for making money and the competition was extremely fierce. In this situation, it was difficult for foreigners to survive in Luoyang.

When Di Renjie was not in Luoyang, the public security in Luoyang was very poor. The city foxes and rats were very rampant. At present, large groups have been formed one after another, fighting for territory all day long.

It was because of this situation that Di Renjie, who had made great contributions to the governance of Chang'an, was transferred to the post of Dali Temple in Luoyang.

Helan Minzhi saw Yunchu first, so he turned away to avoid greeting Yunchu.

Yunchu also saw Helan Minzhi and found him standing in the crowd waiting to visit the Wu brothers. He turned away and did not greet him. He rode away surrounded by his family members.

Many times, fate is stronger than people, and it only takes a blink of an eye to go from the sky to hell.

When the Helan family was rich and powerful, Helan Minzhi disdained it and even had the intention to destroy the Helan family and put it into practice.

Finally, after the title of Duke of Zhou, which represented the glory of the Helan family, was completely abolished, Helan Minzhi realized that the thing he once hated had actually been protecting him.

"My master will not see guests today!"

The Wu family's doorman shouted loudly to the crowd guarding outside.

Those who wanted to see the Wu brothers retreated with regret.

Helan Minzhi took a step forward, held the doorman's hand and said, "I am Helan Minzhi and the Wu family are relatives. Please report it on my behalf."

The doorman felt the hard copper coin in his hand, calculated it and said, "Wait."

Helan Minzhi felt relieved. As long as he could see the Wu brothers, he would be sure to take shelter under the Wu brothers and avoid the harassment from the city foxes and rats.

The Wu brothers were not smart people. Helan Minzhi knew this very well. He even felt that he had a great chance to clamp down on the two brothers and eventually make them his puppets.

Helan Minzhi was a very patient person, so he stood at the door of the Wu mansion, waiting from the sun to the sunset, but he never saw the doorman reply.

What he didn't know was that at this moment, the doorman who took his money was using his money to buy roast chicken and wine, eating so much that he forgot everything.

As for helping him report to the Wu brothers.

As the wine and meat gradually disappeared, it was also completely forgotten by the doorman.
