Some people were secretly raising storms, not only bewitching the Yele tribe's rebellion, but also trying to harm their father and son. I don't know how many border troops and Sogdian merchants participated, but in his opinion it was a trivial matter...

Chen Yizhun has not only been busy these days, but also has been so frightened that he can't sleep at night.

You can even imagine that after seeing the secret letter sent by Master Shiyu who sent someone 600 miles to send him in an emergency, he would still worry about whether there would be any changes in Yele Town.

Chief Chen suddenly felt a little regretful and made him crazy. After a moment of silence, he looked up and said, "Sanlang, I know you are very smart. I don't believe in you, but there is something I have to remind you."

"What's the matter?"

"Border troops cannot be in chaos, and Sogdian merchants cannot be in chaos!"

Chief Chen said it very seriously and seriously. Han Ping'an not only knew what he meant, but also knew very well that he was not exaggerating.

Because the Silk Road is not only the supply line of the Tang Dynasty border army, but also the lifeline of the Tang Dynasty border army!

Not to mention Anxi, the two major prophets in the Northern Court, even Gua, Su, Gan, Liang and other prefectures are far away from Chang'an. The food and grass needed by the border troops cannot be transported, so the court could only allocate money and cloth for the border troops to purchase on the spot, and at the same time, the border troops were allowed to farm land.

The Tang Dynasty did not have that much copper, and the amount of money cast was not much. At the beginning, the military pay was half of each of the money and cloth, but now it is all cloth, and it hasn't been seen for decades.

Sogdian, a unique commercial nation, is good at buying and selling, is good at planning, is not afraid of hardships, is familiar with languages ​​from all over the country, and frequently travels between Dashi and the Tang Dynasty through long trade routes.

Because the Sogdian merchants were far away, they mainly sold valuable and light goods such as jewelry, spices, medicinal materials, dyes and iron weapons to the Tang Dynasty, as well as slaves who could walk by themselves.

The purchases from the Tang Dynasty to Dashi were also expensive and light goods such as jewelry and lacquerware. Porcelain was too heavy and easy to break was not the first choice for its sale. Silk cloth was not the main goods it operated because it was too large. Moreover, silk and even the countries in the west of Dashi also had silk.

They could not emptie themselves when they returned, so they helped the court transfer silk cloth allocated to the border troops, and at the same time they would purchase some cloth to sell it to the Western Regions divisions attached to the Tang Dynasty. There were very few silk cloth and porcelain that were actually sold to Dashi, because it was not cost-effective for them.

Sogdians, who lived along the commercial road, distributed the goods of merchants, sold jewelry, treasures, livestock, slaves, and even offered loans and interest rates.

It can be said that they covered almost all important market areas, controlled the economic lifeline of the Western Regions and even the entire Tang Dynasty, and were the main source of commercial taxation in Anxi and the Northern Court.

Without them, the "military pay" could not be transported, and the business tax revenue would not be needed, and the border troops would be unable to be self-sufficient by relying solely on military farming.

In short, no matter whether you investigate the black sheep in the border army or the ulterior motives among the Chasogdian merchants, you must be cautious and cautious. If there is no sufficient and conclusive evidence, you must not act rashly.

Han Ping'an could understand Chief Chen's concerns and whispered: "Don't worry, Uncle Chen, I have my own sense of responsibility."

“Just be sensible.”

Chief Chen smiled with relief and continued, "Cui Mingfu and I are trying our best to find three people you want. Don't think there are too few or not. You should know that this is Ye Le, not Chang'an, and it is too difficult to find a few people who can read literacy."

"If you don't have the ability to do it, you can teach it slowly. Who is born to know everything?"

"You, you seem to know everything."

"Uncle Chen, you are really good at joking."

Han Ping'an beat me up and asked, "Have you found someone to clean up in the front yard?"

"It is not convenient to put the things you want to do in the city lord's mansion, but it is not appropriate to use the front yard to open the southern gate. Should you send a letter to ask Lord Shiyu first?"

The so-called southern gate is the main gate of the Grand Governor's Office, which is the former southern gate of the Yele Palace.

The front yard was the main hall of the royal palace a long time ago, and later the main hall of the Yele Grand Governor's Office.

However, no matter how big the palace of a vassal king in the Western Regions is, it is no big deal. It is much smaller than that of the Guardian of Anxi and the Jiedushi of the Four Towns. But no matter what, it is the mansion of the former vassal king and the current vassal governor.

Han Shimei, the governor of the four towns, has great power and can even supervise General An, the envoy of Yele Town, but his rank is not high, and he is only down from the sixth rank.

Although you can temporarily live in the Grand Governor's Office, you cannot enter and exit the main entrance, and you cannot openly handle official duties in the lobby of the front yard, otherwise it will be a traitor. Therefore, you have been entering and exiting the east gate and staying in the inner house behind.

Of course, there are not many servants and servants in the Han family, and there is no need for such a big place.

The front yard is large enough, there are enough houses, and it is a pity not to be used as the office of the thief Cao Wei. In fact, there is no more suitable place in Yele City than this.

Thinking of this, Han Ping'an said lightly: "There is no need to ask my father. The Grand Governor's Office is not my house, and my father is also a tenant."

"Well, since you can make the decision, do whatever you want."

"It's not possible to have a place alone, everything is difficult at the beginning. Can you lend me somebody You Yi?"

"It's not impossible to borrow You Yiren, but you have to report to Cui Ming's Mansion first. Without Cui Ming's Mansion's order, they will not obey your order."

"Where is the night watchman?"

"Same."

"Uncle Chen, aren't they all yours under your control?"

"I am just a postmaster. Although I can ask them to pay attention to the movements and information inside and outside the city, I will still have to be approved by Cui Ming's mansion."

Han Ping'an didn't believe his nonsense and asked with a smile: "Uncle Chen, do you have few people under you?"

Chen Yizhang said generously: "Yes, there are several postmen. If you want them to help run errands and do chores, you don't have to tell me."

The so-called postman is actually a young man from all the yards in the city and villages outside the city. People go to the postman to work as a clerk or help run errands to deliver official documents. It is like guarding the city and is a corvee service.

To put it bluntly, it is a group of farming farmers who cannot help or use it.

Han Ping'an was secretly slandering the old fox that didn't trust him. Chen Yizhu suddenly smiled and said, "Cui Ming's mansion is so busy, sometimes he can't find anyone else even if he wants to find him. But if you have to do so many things, you really can't have few people under your command."

"What should I do?"

"It would be great if there was a letter from the military governor of the Shiyu Lord. No matter what happened, it would be better to write a document and stamp it with a large seal. Not to mention calling You Yiren, it would be a good idea to call the Night Watcher."

It turned out that he was worried that he would be investigated when the trouble happened. I guess the city lord Cui Han also had the same concerns.

Han Ping was happy and couldn't help but smile: "Go back and see if my father took the seal away. If he took it to Baisha City, please find a way to help me send a message to my sister and ask my sister to send the seal back quickly."

"Tell your sister a message... This is not safe. What if it is spread out? Why don't you write a letter to Master Shiyu directly?"

"Isn't this nonsense? If I tell my dad directly, can he give me the big seal?"

"Let your sister steal it!"

"It's all my own family, how can it be called stealing? It's called taking it."

"Don't tell me, I didn't hear anything, I didn't know anything, and it's not my business to blame the Lord."
