Chapter 91: The Way of Economy (Part 4)
asked about the Tubo army again, but said that the two places won or lost. It is necessary to start border trade, and the economy must move forward in the army.
Li Longji took a sip of wine and slowly understood what Li Yi said.
When he picked up the meat and threw it into the hot pot, he asked, "Do you think Brother Yi will come to fight Tubo?" This time, our Tang Dynasty annihilated more than 30,000 enemies, and the Tubo Jiuqu strong army, which claimed to be 100,000 people, suffered heavy losses. ”
"There are still small-scale frictions, Tubo's prime minister Qi Li Xu is a capable person, he is in charge of the country, and at a critical moment, he wants to take advantage of the alternation of internal affairs in the Tang Dynasty and occupy more land in the Yellow River.
The purpose was to contact the local nobles and show others, and he knew that Datang would not be able to agree.
Even then, it is still necessary to talk about the alliance, and then sneak attack, and the time chosen is just the season when Datang can't drive straight in.
After that, Tubo was unable to take the initiative to attack, and would definitely make a truce with the black-clothed Dashi and the Turquoise cavalry division headquarters on the battlefield on the other side. ”
Li Yi slowly said the situation and choices faced by Tibet.
"Are the black-clad eaters and the jockey department powerful?" Li Longji didn't know much about the fighting on the other side of the Tibetan army.
"If Tubo doesn't fight my Datang, you can chase the two to fight, and Tubo will become a strategic offensive over there.
Tubo wants to grab a piece of good land in my Datang Dynasty as a logistics supply place for Tubo.
Tubo is located on the plateau, life is not easy, must find the plain land.
Whether it is fighting the Tang Dynasty or fighting the black clothes and food, the purpose is the same. ”
Li Yi said from the root why Tubo wants to fight, and everyone wants the land of Datang.
Li Longji listened carefully and asked again: "What's next?" ”
"Next, it is natural that Tubo will form an alliance with other forces to fight my Datang, and will fight my Dawan Governor's Mansion of Datang, and it is the black-clothed Dashi who unites.
In the next step, the joint cavalry division will still fight the circle of my Datang, the four military towns of Yanqi, Qiuzi, Khotan, and Shule in the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate. ”
Li Yi told Li Longji what to do in Tubo, and hit two places, in fact, they were next to each other.
Li Longji couldn't help but shudder, Brother Yi calculated the heavenly opportunity again?
"Brother Yi, your lifespan." Li Longji was in a hurry, he was afraid that something would happen to Li Yi.
"Huh? Yes! The third brother doesn't need to worry, he hasn't touched the sky, but he is calculating, you think, third brother, Tubo has joined forces with others, everyone has nothing to do, so they naturally have to find trouble.
The black-clothed Great Food and the Turkey Cavalry Division are next to us, and the Black-clothed Warrior is now stronger than the Turquoise Cavalry Division.
If Tubo wants to consume the troops of the Tang Dynasty and the Black Clothes Eat, of course, they must first fool the Black Clothes and the Eaters to fight.
Then I can find the Turquoise Cavalry Division again, the two of them can't even beat the Tibetans, how can they beat the Tang Army. ”
Li Yi found a reason to explain why it was like that, it was much easier to know the result first and then deduce.
"That's fine." Li Longji breathed a sigh of relief, and Queen Wang followed to relax.
The queen then said, "Uncle, can we destroy them all at once?" ”
Li Yi shook his head lightly: "The place is too big, and it costs people and money." At present, the most important thing for Datang to do is to call out the hidden people and vigorously develop the way to help the people through the world. ”
"Tubo and the black-clothed big food, the Turkey Rider Department, what should I do?" Li Longji has doubts.
"Opening border trade, fighting with Tibet, many bridges and plank roads were destroyed. However, there are small roads to pass, so let's smuggle, and by the way, we will attract Tibetan nobles and wealthy businessmen to smuggle together. ”
Li Yi gave an idea, the trade is cut off, but the cavalry, beef and mutton, and Tibetan medicinal herbs.
Li Longji naturally asked: "Isn't selling things to them to help them?" ”
"One country, one place, limited output. There is no new law to increase land production and breeding, and every time something is sold, it is natural that the product will be reduced.
Food is fundamental, we sell other things in the past, change food and come back, and Tibet lacks food.
For example, soy sauce, third brother, you and I are each a country, you grow soybeans in your country, a bucket of 500 yuan, I buy it to make soy sauce, sell it to you, in exchange for a bucket of soybeans, I use less than half a liter of soybeans. Twenty times the spread. ”
Li Yi gave a simple example.
Li Longji instantly understood: "Okay, that's exactly how it should be." ”
Queen Wang said beside her: "In exchange for it, I will exchange all the soybeans of my San Lang to your uncle, the military strength of the two sides is not much different, San Lang is in trouble." ”
Li Yiyi, yes, this is the relationship between the trade surplus and the deficit, which involves technical factors.
"Smuggling, smuggling is good." Li Longji is the emperor of a country, ready to play smuggling, he knows what Tubo lacks, first of all, tea.
I used tea to find someone to smuggle it over, and I changed horses and sheep to come back.
The second is silk, which the rich people in Tibet want.

On the other end, Pei Yaoqing sat on the main seat, listening to talented people chanting poems and commenting on their talents.
Everyone prepared the article in advance and brought it over, so that Chang'an Ling could take a look at it and get a good ranking in the imperial examination next year.
Pei Yaoqing remained silent, just listened, the more he listened, the more he didn't want to listen, obviously a good person, compared with the local proprietor, why is the gap so big?
"Your Majesty would be glad if he knew of today's pomp and circumstance." Pei Yaoqing's side sat a national prison eunuch Cheng Tong spoke out in unison.
Guozi Supervisor Cheng is from the sixth grade, Pei Yaoqing's Chang'an Order is on the fifth grade, and the real power and grade of the two sides are a big difference.
Tong Qi came over to cheer and let people know that the people from Guozijian were there.
"Exactly." Pei Yaoqing's mood suddenly improved.
What he thought of was, yes, how can I compare them with Li Yi, how much does His Majesty Li Yi value coming over in person?
And these people, do they deserve His Majesty's favor?
Not bad, not bad, all very good, come on!
Everyone was eating, drinking, and touting, and the people in the Zhuangzi came.
They carried trays of red silk on top of which were wooden boxes three inches long and one and a half inches thick and brushed with tung oil.
The dealer will send one per person and leave after sending it off.
Another man brought ten chests containing copper coins.
Four hundred taels, that is, 400,000 yuan to take the ancients, one tael weighs six catties and four taels, and weighs a total of two thousand five hundred and sixty catties.
Pei Yaoqing stood up and said to everyone: "On the winter solstice, there are many people in Chang'an who have no food and clothing, and Li Yi, the proprietor of this village, donated 400 yuan to help the people of the bitter cold. The official should be on the table. ”
Some of the others had already opened the box, and in the box was a glass bottle with a small wooden plug on it, and they were about to see what was inside, and when they saw a lot of money, they listened to Pei Yaoqing.
Their first thought was, there is money, Li Yi Li is rich.
The second thought is that Li Yi is indeed rich.
The third thought is, why is Li Yi so rich? How much money does he have?
"Ladies and gentlemen, what you hold in your hands is a treasure of skin care in a glass bottle, a thousand glow gel dew, applied to the lips or cracked areas, several times better than other ointments."
Pei Yaoqing advertised Li Yi that the glycerin was called Qianxia Gel Dew, and when he heard it, he knew that it was a good thing.
Everyone's eyes lit up, give something?
Pei Yaoqing continued: "If you want to buy it today, you only need fifty percent of the money, just one bottle, and the glass bottle will be given away, and when the Qianxia Frost Dew is exhausted, you can take the bottle to the Zhuangzi and fill it at the price of two taels per bottle. ”
Everyone's eyes are gray, asking for money? Don't buy it, no?
But this glass bottle, give it away for free? Earned, otherwise if you want to buy a similar one, you can't get it without a three-five.
"I bought it." Someone supported it first, Chang'an ordered to save face, personally said that the things were good, and sent a glass bottle.
If you don't agree to buy a glass bottle with more than three threads, Chang'an Ling will inevitably be angry.
It's a big deal to use up the Qianxia Gel Dew inside, if you don't come to fill it, you can also earn by keeping a bottle.
Everyone signed and drew the pledge one after another, but they didn't bring any money, and they gave it back.
There were four hundred and fifty-six people in all, one person and one man.
"Money, you can send it to the place where the official gives the order." Pei Yaoqing said, which means don't send Zhuangzi.
Because I agreed with Li Yi, the money from the sale was the four hundred, and the four hundred in the box would not be taken away.
The extra is your own, and the extra fifty-six is not a small amount.
