The First Family of Tang Dynasty

Just as Nima walked slowly and thoughtfully, she felt a heavy and powerful slap on her shoulder.

This made him turn his head in astonishment, and instantly fell to his knees on the street with his legs weakened. "Cheng, Cheng..."

The nightmare in his heart, when he was angry, Cheng Saburo, who would turn into a demon king with three-headed six-armed monkey cheeks, stood beside him.

"Okay, we are also old acquaintances anyway. If acquaintances meet, we can't make such a big ceremony, right?"

Cheng Saburo didn't expect that Nima would be so frightened when he saw him. He smiled helplessly and stretched out his hand to lift him up.

Nima looked up and stood in front of her, head half of her head higher than herself, and the energetic Cheng Saburo said with a pleased smile.

"General Cheng, oh no... Xiaocheng Taibao, villain, the villain is meeting you again with Xiaocheng Taibao. It's really exciting."

"It's okay. It's fate to be able to think about each other. Cheng thought that we would only have fate of Jianchuan City. I really didn't expect that we would meet in Luoyang, the eastern capital."

"It just so happened that Cheng was boring and met you again. Seeing your appearance, he seemed to be panicking. If that's the case, then accompany Cheng to have a drink."

"Ah... this, don't use it."

"Cheng likes to make friends the most, especially good friends from a foreign country. Why, don't you plan to give Cheng some face?"

Seeing Cheng Saburo's smile but not smiling, Nima didn't dare to say the words of refusal, and followed Cheng Saburo happily.

On the second floor of the Peony Pavilion restaurant of the Han and Tang Commercial Banks, in a private room, Cheng Saburo and Nanima had a drink.

On the case table, there are a variety of special Cheng family banquet dishes, as well as the rich and mellow superb wine: Zhanxianzui.

This rich delicacy and the temptation of the wine, as well as the gentle and kind greetings of Cheng Saburo, the little Cheng Taibao.

Nima finally let go of her courage and began to eat and drink. The great merchant Nima praised the delicious food in the Peony Pavilion restaurant.

Although Nima often comes to Datang for business, the place where he lives the most is still on the plateau.

On the plateau where food sources are scarce, besides beef and mutton, it is barley noodles or some dairy products. It is extremely difficult to taste other ingredients.

Even tea is considered a luxury item for Tubo, especially for more than a year.

Since the conflict between Tubo and Datang in the middle of Jiannan Road and Yaozhou area, Datang began to impose strict blockade on Tubo.

Originally, Tubo could easily purchase tea products from the various edicts living in Yaozhou through Jianchuan City.

But after the city of Jianchuan was regained by the Tang Dynasty, the governor of Yaozhou was counterattacked by the Tubo people in order to strictly guard against the city of Jianchuan, which had been retaken.

Therefore, the Tubo merchants traveling to and from Jianchuan City were strictly restricted. In addition, the Yaozhou Zhaozhao became a shareholder of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

Their previous tea trade has undergone tremendous changes. They used to pay tribute to Tubo in exchange for war horses and weapons to fight inwardly.

But as they have all become shareholders of Hantang Commercial Bank, there is no need for each other to buy in or out.

In addition, Han and Tang Commercial Banks conducted statistics on the tea leaves of various edicts, forming a complete industrial chain of harvesting and processing.

As a result, the income of various edicts on tea was three to four times as much as in the past, and the unlucky one was naturally Tubo.

Cheng Sanlang drank wine and ate delicious food with a smile while listening to Nima who had relaxed and talked about the changes that have taken place in Tubo in the past year.

Just like now, the price of the tea he sells to various tribes has increased several times compared with the past, but he still makes less than in the past.

This time he took the opportunity to accompany Prime Minister Lu Dongzan to Datang, just wanting to take this opportunity to bring more goods back...

Nima looked suspiciously at the little Cheng Taibao who had been listening to her for most of the time.

"Little Cheng Taibao, you invited the villain to come here today, not just to invite the villain to eat such a delicious meal, right?"

Cheng Saburo happily, raised his wine glass, shook it towards Nima and drained it slowly and steadily.

"It's worthy of being a great merchant who can do well between Tubo and Xiangxiong. That's right, I invite you to come over for food and drink today, just to express my gratitude to you."

Nima looked at Cheng Saburo before him with a stunned expression, and asked at a loss.

"Thanks, thank you, Xiaoren, what?"

Cheng Chubi smiled and raised his hand to beckon. Deng gratified and walked quickly. After handing over a copy of the "Chang'an Xunbao", he walked out.

Cheng Chubi put the "Chang'an Xunbao" on the case table, and slapped the newspaper lightly.

"Of course, I would like to thank you for the information you provided to Cheng ~ www.readwn.com~ for Cheng to ghostwrite for you and write those articles."

"!!!" Nima looked at the copy of "Changan Xunbao" with a dazed expression, and suddenly raised her head to look at Cheng Saburo before her.

The red face on the plateau lost his blood in an instant, and he looked at Cheng Saburo who was smiling meaningfully in front of him.

Nima really had an urge to pull out the meat-cutting knife by her waist and stab it.

However, because of Cheng Saburo's burly figure and his sharp razor-like eyes, Nima quietly put out the idea of ​​violent resistance.

"Xiaocheng Taibao, don't joke, villain, villain has nothing to do with these articles."

"When this "Chang'an Xunbao" appeared, the villain followed the envoy to Chang'an. I have nothing to do with this matter.

Cheng Chubi hesitated and moved a little closer, like a beast waiting to prey, looking down at the delicious prey.

"Do you think Lu Dongzan and his son will believe you, or Sambuza? Or, your general Tashi?"

"Now, with the confidence of victory, the mission of the envoys that came to discuss peace with Datang has been impossible to complete."

"Do you think they are eager to find a scapegoat?"

"And you, Nima..." Cheng Chubi pointed his finger forward and almost poked Nima's nose.

"You have the blood of the Xiangxiong royal family, and you are also a wealthy businessman from an enemy country.

Presumably your wealth and net worth will make many tyrants salivate, right? "

"If it is said that the Tubo people in the envoys know the contents of the "Chang'an Xunbao" and have a great relationship with you, hehe..."

With a puff, Nima directly fell to her knees.

"..."
