The dead tiger was carried on a bamboo pole as the group headed to the south of Dayu Ridge.
The 16 people were actually going to sell their goods at the north of Dayu Ridge, but they lost their goods when they met the tiger.
Winged Knights Squad Leader Fang Guangzhang told them to bring the tiger down and reward them.
They casually picked up the things that were dropped and took them back if they could. They didn't want anything that was too tiring.
"This is a hungry tiger." Zhang Jiuling saw that the Winged Knights' horses were not in good condition and mentioned the tiger.
Fang Guangzhang agreed: "Otherwise, it wouldn't think of attacking 16 people."
As he spoke, he took out a bottle of toilet water and sprinkled it on the tiger: "Horses are afraid of tigers. When there are more wild animals in Li Dongzhu Zoo, let the horses go there more often."
"When the tiger is brought over to receive the reward, I will tell them that His Majesty wants to build the Dayu Ridge Road." Zhang Jiuling was flexible.
Wasn't it just telling them in advance before they received the official document? There was no need to be afraid.
The sooner they told them, the more prepared the people would be. The government wouldn't arrange for them to do other work.
"Duke Zhang, why don't I say it? You say that it's a fake order." Fang Guangzhang wanted to take the responsibility.
"Haha, Guangzhang, I still have this bit of responsibility." Zhang Jiuling laughed and didn't care.
He gave people the impression that he was a gentleman.
The people who walked with the group told the 16 people about Zhang Jiuling wanting to build the road.
The commoners seemed to have a lot of energy when they walked, as if a road would be built soon, and another pass would be built.
Li Family Zhuangzi.
Li Chengqi came over and brought a lot of pomegranates.
Li Yi didn't like to eat pomegranates. There was little meat, so he only ate the core.
"Brother Yi, the Xi Tribe Leader Li Dahou and the Khitan Dahe Leader Li Shihuo are here." Li Chengqi told Li Yi the good news.
"It seems that our group is still doing business there. Otherwise, they would have come back with him. They should have gone to Bohai."
Li Yi knew Li Shihuo. He was the leader of the Dahe Tribe and also the leader of the Khitan Eight Tribes.
In history, he was conferred the title of King, Governor, and Provincial Governor. He was also sent to that place by the Tang dynasty.
However, there was no further development. It was a pity that the good resources of the Khitans were wasted.
Things were different now. Trade teams were sent out, and when the people there discovered the benefits of trade, there would be more exchanges.
Only through communication could they be tied to the Tang dynasty's chariot and take their time.
The Xi Tribe naturally developed along with them. The trade team passed by the two tribes and interacted with Bohai.
"Big Brother, Tubo is probably going to ask for peace. I'm afraid that the Tang dynasty will send people to attack Songzhou. They've suffered great losses in the two battles."
Li Yi didn't want to waste any more time on the Khitans and Xi Tribe, so he talked about Tubo.
"Brother Yi, didn't you say that if Tubo wants to make peace with you?" Li Chengqi stood in front of a wall and looked up at the map.
Li Yi drew a map of the Tang dynasty and its surroundings. It wasn't very detailed as the terrain changed too much. He could only draw according to the information he had.
Li Yi nodded. "We can't agree. If we don't agree, Tubo will think that we're going to attack them and they will invest in the military.
Especially when it comes to the exchange of captives. They don't make the best use of time and lack of soldiers. The captives of the Tang dynasty have been waiting for too long. "
Li Yi was thinking about this problem. What's the use of asking for peace? If we agree to it, they won't let us go.
If they don't agree now, they will fight at any time. Only then can we come back.
Li Chengqi stared at Tubo's position. "It will be better in the future. You've helped the imperial court earn a lot of money. The House of Zhecong has suffered great losses. Use the money to recruit soldiers."
Li Yi smiled. Recruiting soldiers was the right thing to do.
The imperial court spent money to recruit soldiers, and the food was provided by the imperial court. The local generals only had the right to command, unlike the personal soldiers.
Later on, the local generals would be mobilized once in a while. They were not allowed to have complete control over the soldiers, especially the mid-level generals.
Later on, they recruited soldiers and became strong for a period of time. They even opened up the Silk Road on the continent.
And that general was called … Go Seonji, a Goguryeon.
Unfortunately, the Tang dynasty ran out of money. Due to the problems in the palace, Li Linfu was appointed as the prime minister.
Then came the Battle of Talas. The Tang dynasty lost. There were many reasons, but in war, only victory and defeat mattered.
"There won't be another war. There won't be another one," Li Yi muttered.
"Where is the war?" Li Chengqi heard.
"It's a war with the people outside. It's going to take so long. How can I wait?" Li Yi said something that Li Chengqi didn't understand.
"Dongzhu, there's a person called Kind and Fearless outside asking to see you," Song De reported to Li Yi at the door of the reception hall.
"Kind and Fearless? He's … "Li Yi was stunned. After a while, he came back to his senses.
"He's eighty this year? I don't believe in Tantric Buddhism. They want to spread everything to the Tang dynasty. It's enough for the people of the Tang dynasty to learn from themselves. "
Li Yi knew who the other party was. His identity wasn't ordinary.
He didn't want to discuss the scriptures with the other party because he couldn't win.
Those people spent their days sparring with each other based on the teachings of the Tang dynasty.
Trying to subdue the other party with just a few words? Dream on!
Since he couldn't win against the other party, based on the records, Li Longji would ask the other party to stay. What was he going to do?
When the steward left, he would tactfully reject the other party.
Li Chengqi's eyebrows shot up. "What's he here for?"
"He wants me to print sutras for him. My newspaper sells well, especially the ones with color sets. I even issue currency coupons, which are highly technical.
He wants the sutras to be printed so well, and more importantly, he doesn't want to spend money. I have to treat him respectfully.
Do I know who he is? He's an outsider. I'm not familiar with him. "
Li Yi had already guessed the other party's purpose just now. Since Li Longji had personally welcomed him, others naturally had to give him face.
The old man had lived for so long and had a lot of experience. With just a few words, he had already led others into a trap.
However, it was useless against him.
"He should have gone to look for Princess Jin Xian. Princess Jin Xian should have produced a set of bronze movable characters by now, right?" Li Yi thought of someone else.
Princess Jin Xian liked to print and send books.
Taoism, Buddhism, and Tantra all loved to print.
"Princess Jin Xian doesn't have the technology and color ink." Li Chengqi analyzed the reason from the conversation just now.
Li Yi told Princess Jin Xian how to make bronze movable characters, but he didn't give her any other technology.
The other technology could be used to print currency coupons. To put it bluntly, it was just money.
"Oh, right. The problem is, isn't it good to be black and white? Our giant pandas are black and white. How cute are they? "
Li Yi laughed as he spoke. Other people could take photos in color, but giant pandas only took photos in black and white, unless it was a giant panda with gray fur.
"Dongzhu, Shan Wuwei is not leaving. He said he knows about your matter." Song De returned.
"So what if he knows? Go and tell him that I'll use my lifespan to exchange for things. I can fly into the sky and go into the ground." Li Yi looked down on him.
At this time, he still wanted to be mysterious. If he didn't want to leave, he could just stay on the other side of the bridge. There was free soup to drink, and he wouldn't starve to death.
If he wanted to find others to pressure him, he would know the consequences after trying it out.
Today, the farmer's room was even later. He had a cold, a stuffy nose, and a headache. But he would work hard to write five chapters. Thank you for your support.
