Xiao Yu's feet were deep and shallow, and he didn't know when he arrived at the palace gate, and he was very absent-minded.

The scene of the negotiation with Yang Tong was still spinning in his mind, first he hit him off guard with a single knife, forcing Xiao Yu to show his hole cards, and then he was rejected and threatened, until he was desperate, he reluctantly left Li Tang a glimmer of life.

This series of old and spicy methods directly beat Xiao Yu to the point that he had no strength to fight back! He felt that he was almost taken away by Yang Tong, without the slightest subjective consciousness of his own.

Now, whether it is honey or poison, for the source of the war horse that Li Tang dreams of, it must be swallowed! Only by obtaining the horse source can Li Tang form a powerful cavalry and compete with the Great Sui.

Xiao Yu thought hard for a long time, and subconsciously felt that there was a conspiracy, but reason told him: Yang Tong's land sale was a great temptation to Li Tang! In Xiao Yu's personal opinion, once this agreement is implemented and these counties are kept, then Li Tangzhi will definitely gain more than he pays. Moreover, the battle line that Yang Tong said was too long, which is indeed the most disadvantageous part of the Great Sui, which is obvious to everyone.

It's just that Xiao Yu is still a little confused, and he has already walked through the end of the palace road without sinking, and his entourage appeared in front of him.

"Xiangguo ......"

The subordinate saw Xiao Yu's expression in a trance, and his heart slowly sank: "Is things going well?" ”

"Smooth!" Xiao Yu glanced at him, then lowered his head in contemplation.

The subordinate was a little puzzled, "Since it went well, why is Xiangguo sad?" ”

Xiao Yu smiled bitterly: "It's because it's too smooth, the old man is not very down-to-earth"

Subordinate: "......"

Looking at the carriage outside, Xiao Yu took a deep breath and said, "Okay, don't talk about this!" After going back! The old man still has important things to do. ”

The subordinate said strangely: "What's the matter?" ”

"Seven admonitions related to the rise and fall of the country!" Xiao Yu's face was heavy, and he pretended to be disdainful of Li Tangqi's defeat listed by Yang Tong in the palace just now, but when he arrived here, his heart was heavy, and he couldn't wait to have wings, so he flew to Chang'an at once, and then summoned the ministers and offered his words of advice to Li Yuan.

Partisan rivalry!

It has always been the beginning of the decline of a country, and it is absolutely unacceptable!

If the saint does not correct it in time, Li Tang, who is already inferior in strength, will definitely be thrown away by the Sui Dynasty, and when the time comes, how can he compete with the Sui Dynasty?

……

Yellow!

The ancestors can be traced back to the Emperor Shun period, the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasty called "Su Shen", the Warring States called "Lu Lou", the Northern Wei Dynasty called "Beji", and the Sui Dynasty called "Yan Ya"! They live between the white mountains and black waters, fishing and hunting as a profession, depending on the situation of the area where they live, there are also agricultural civilizations and a small part of the nomadic civilization.

In the Shang and Zhou dynasties, Su Shen paid tribute three times in a row, and in various periods of the Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, there were also records of occasional visits, and the recent court to see the Central Plains Dynasty still occurred in the Northern Qi period.

There are a total of seven parts of the Sula Sect, namely the Sula (adjacent to the Great Sui and Goguryeo), the Bolu (in the north of the Sumo Division), the Anchegu Division (in the northeast of the Bodu), the Fune Division (in the east of Bodu), the Haomuro Department (in the east of Fune), the Heishui Division (in the northwest of Anchegu), and the Baishan Division (in the southeast of Sumo). And the Black Water Department is particularly strong, it is the ancient Su Shen clan.

This time the court is the closest to the end of the Su, led by its chief Tu Diji, the tribute includes 100 good horses, 10 carts of sable skin, 1,000 good bows, a golden eagle chick, and three tamed Hai Dongqing!

Not to mention other estimates, Hai Dongqing is an extremely rare eagle, the legend says that only one Hai Dongqing is produced by 100,000 eagles, because it is too fierce and intelligent, it has the meaning of "the god of ten thousand eagles", and it is the highest totem of the eagle. At one time, the end of Su paid tribute to three Haidong green young birds and ten eagle slaves, which shows its sincerity!

Shanggong's "楛arrow石砮" is also a representative of a good bow, and Su Shen and Shen Ya are the meaning of "bow and arrow". They paid so many tributes at one time, which was very grand.

In the school field, Yang Tong rode a tall black horse galloping, this is a BMW specially paid tribute to Yang Dong, the hair is black and shiny, like smooth satin, but the rebelliousness in his eyes flashes to show his pride and unyielding, but at this time Yang Dong has been tamed.

"Good horse, good horse! One more lap. Yang Tong shouted excitedly, and the black horse raised its front hooves high and rushed out, like a black cloud, instantly crossing a hundred meters of land, the speed was amazingly fast, and the galloping momentum was terrifying.

Yang Tong ran for half an hour, and he felt that he was not as good as the arrow from the string, but he was also the king of horses in ten thousand. It is one white and one black with the off-string arrow, and can be used to use mounts of different colors when performing different tasks in the future. What makes him even more pleased is that in addition to being taller, it is no different from ordinary large war horses, not to mention that compared with the Lixian Arrow, the gap with the generals' divine horses and BMWs is not ordinarily large! It doesn't seem to have anything outstanding except for its athleticism, no matter its size, image, speed, or physical characteristics.

But that's just right!

In the past, when he went to battle, he rode a tall, snow-white off-string arrow and wore a gorgeous armor, and he was often the first target of the enemy.

And this dark horse is very deceptive, you ride it and stand in front of the army, and with inconspicuous armor, others will never think that you are the main general, so whether it is a person, or a mount, or an ordinary little good, great, very good!

Yang Tong came in high spirits, and as soon as the horse stopped, someone came to help, and that posture was more attentive than the emperor's palace maid.

This man was about forty years old, very strong, with a pair of eyes full of vicissitudes of life, shining with wisdom, wearing a fur coat, wearing a mink hat, and dragging a long braid behind his head

"No, no! This king is a battle, running hundreds of miles, and he can be regarded as a superb horseman" Yang Tong jumped off the horse quickly.

Seeing that Yang Tong was happy, this made Tu Diji's heart fall back into his stomach, and it seemed that the King of Qin of the Great Sui was quite satisfied with the tribute from the end of Su.

Yang Tong was very happy to get such a BMW that was not like a BMW, and he was able to say a lot: "This king is very satisfied with your tribute, let's say, what reward do you want?" ”

Tu Diji hurriedly stroked his chest and knelt down on one knee, "How dare my ministry accept His Highness's reward?" I only hope that His Highness can give our ministry a grace! ”

Yang Tong's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was no trace of emotion on his face, "I don't know what kind of grace you want?" ”

The Central Plains has always been generous to vassal states. But there is also a degree, if this guy is too greedy, Yang Tong doesn't mind eliminating the ancestors who established the Jin Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty in the Central Plains.

Xu Shi felt the unkindness in Yang Dong's tone, and suddenly hurriedly said: "Xiao Chen didn't dare to make excessive requests, I heard that the patriarch of the Xia clan was canonized by the Celestial Dynasty and became a citizen of the Celestial Empire, Xiao Chen was very envious, hoping to regain the Great Sui's grace and have trade contacts with the Great Sui!" ”

"Why do you suddenly want to become a vassal of the Great Sui?"

"Our department is not educated, and I admire the cultural ...... of the Celestial Empire"

"Tell the truth!"

"And!" Tudi Ji gritted his teeth and said: "My department and the Baishan department have been repeatedly oppressed by Goguryeo, and I hope to be protected by His Royal Highness!" ”

These Yang Tong had long known that when Goguryeo's military was at its strongest, it had been expanding externally, and after the failure of its westward expansion, he set his sights on the various tribes of the Yan Dynasty, which were far inferior to the powerful Goguryeo, and the Su Mo and Baishan Yan tribes that were close to it were often forced to pay taxes and military service to Goguryeo! When he was fighting, he became a Goguryeo "death squad". Yang Tong launched the Liaodong Campaign that year, Goguryeo was not only robbed of the land of Liaodong, but also plundered nearly a million people, which surprised Su Mo Ya, and heard that the Great Sui exterminated the Khitan and Xi people, severely damaged the Turks, and built the tall Great Wall to their border, so he moved his mind... Trying to take refuge in the Great Sui and get asylum...

Yang Tong asked again: "When this king fought against Goguryeo, he saw a lot of people from the Devil's Tatar, but you are among them?" ”

Tu Di Ji was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, and hurriedly explained: "Your Highness Qiqi, this matter is definitely not the work of my department, even if there are people involved, it is the person who was captured by Goguryeo." Moreover, the clothing and hairstyle of the Yan clan are the same, in addition to our department, there are also Bodu, Anchegu, Funi, No. Room, Baishan, Heishui and other departments...... It's hard to tell. ”

Yang Tong thought about it for a while, and then said: "You don't have to worry, this king didn't mean to blame you, and this king also approved your request." At the beginning, the first emperor canonized you as the Golden Purple Guanglu Doctor and the Liaoxi Taishou! This Golden Purple Guanglu Doctor is still valid, but Liaoxi County and Liaodong County have merged into Shuangliao County, Liaoxi Taishou has no meaning, this king now has you as the general of the Great Sui Sipin Zhenbei, under the jurisdiction of Xiangping County Shou, and the military and political are subordinate to Xiangping. ”

Suddenly, Di Ji heard Yang Tong speak so well, and hurriedly thanked him.

Yang Tong continued: "This king opened a trade port at the Great Wall Pass, the source of Xiaoliao Water, as a place for mutual markets......"

Tu Di Ji looked confused, "This, dare to ask what the mutual market means?" ”

Yang Tong explained: "This mutual market is where trade exchanges, allowing the people and merchants of the DPRK to strengthen exchanges and exchange with the people of the Southern Dynasties. ”

Seeing that there was still a look of doubt on Tudiji's face, Yang Tong then explained: "The people and merchants of our dynasty can carry goods to sell here. In the same way, you can also take out surplus goods and belongings for me to buy and sell! In this way, people's livelihood can be greatly promoted! For example, the wine, silk, rice, oil and salt of the Great Sui can be sold at the border, and you can also sell horses, cattle and sheep, leather goods and other special products here. It can not only eliminate the replacement of redundant and unneeded items for their own needs, but also make both countries rich, and cooperation will benefit both sides, which is a win-win policy! ”

It is bitter cold, and living materials are very scarce, and it is often necessary to rely on looting to meet the needs of the ethnic group. An additional entanglement of interests with neighboring countries is, in a way, equivalent to tying them to their own chariots. Once the end of Su tastes the sweetness, it will only be more supportive of the Great Sui from now on, rather than choosing to oppose it. Even if the Great Sui and Goguryeo started a war, the Su Mo would have to consider their own interests and would stand on the side of the Great Sui.

Tu Diji's eyes lit up: "Your Highness, has you agreed to trade with us?" ”

Yang Tong nodded and said: "This is natural, but you have always bartered, if you meet a cunning merchant, your precious items often do not get a tenth of the value, so this king first sent officials of the Ministry of Commerce to your tribe with you, according to the price of the Great Sui to evaluate your special products, and then the two sides will use my Great Sui coins as coins to trade with each other, there is a difference of tens or hundreds of dollars, it is not a big loss, so as to avoid unnecessary disputes and conflicts between the people of the two ethnic groups, you have money, You can buy what you want. In the border markets, the king will have officials to supervise you, and if your people encounter injustice or danger, you can seek refuge from the officials. ”

Tudi Ji was overjoyed and said gratefully: "Your Highness thinks so much about our clan. On behalf of the whole clan, the minister expressed his gratitude. ”

There was a smile on the corner of Yang Tong's mouth, "Let's open a pilot gate first, and when it matures, we will open multiple gates!" In the future, you can meet all your needs in the border market. ”

Tudi Ji nodded again and again, "Your Highness thinks about our ministry everywhere, and the minister is unforgettable, and he will fully cooperate with the officials of the Celestial Empire." ”

Yang Dong's voice softened, "If the city official is unfair, you can go to the county guard to complain on behalf of your clansmen, and the county guard doesn't care, you can come directly to this king, and this king will make decisions for you!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Tu Diji was so moved that his eyes were red, and he didn't know what to say.

Yang Tong looked at Tu Di Ji and said: "Your falconry skills are unparalleled in the world, can you give this king hundreds of eagles and more than 100 falcon masters?" ”

"Your Highness, our clan has lived on fishing, hunting and animal husbandry for generations, and most of the people in the whole clan are proficient in falconry, but Haidong Qing is too rare, and it is very rare to have only one out of 100,000 condors!" Don't dare to deceive Your Highness, after my department paid tribute to these three young eagles, there are only five left! ”

"This king doesn't have to be Haidongqing, as long as he knows the eagle who goes back and forth." In this era, communication is very backward, when a major event occurs, wait for 800 miles to rush to hand, the daylily is cold, with the round-trip letter eagle, it will greatly improve the efficiency of work, take advantage of the time difference, and hit the enemy by surprise.

Tudi Ji said with a sigh of relief: "This kind of eagle is very ordinary! After the minister returned, he first sent someone to send 500 good falcons and 200 eagle slaves, what does His Highness think? ”

Yang Tong nodded and said, "This is okay, send the family members of the eagle slave as well." lest they be separated from their flesh and bones! You tell everyone that their children can go to school in my Dasui, and receive the same education as the children in the Central Plains, and when they grow up, those who have the ability can also take the exam to become officials! ”

"Your Highness!" Tudi Jixin said: After going back, you must choose people close to you, let their children be influenced by the culture of the Celestial Empire, and become officials of the Great Sui!

Then, Tu Diji tried again: "Your Highness, the children of the ministers have been educated in Han culture when they were in Liaoxi County, and they will never learn Chinese studies after returning to their homeland. In order to better strengthen exchanges and better learn Han culture, Xiaochen implored Dasui to send a group of gentlemen for us. ”

Yang Tong, who was thinking about how to promote Chinese education, was overjoyed, this was really a pillow falling from the sky, "Under the rule of my Great Sui, all counties and cities have free food and lodging for free of righteous learning, but the three counties of Xiangping, Lushun, and Pegasus are sparsely populated, and there are fewer students, and there is no righteous learning, so the children in the three counties are unified to study in Liucheng." For the safety of your next generation, you might as well let the children concentrate in Liucheng to study, so that you can also develop without worries. What do you think? ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, after the minister goes back, he will organize the children to study in Liucheng." Tudiji agreed without hesitation.
