New Bayi Chinese Network - A collection of online novel reading networks

Horse dealers from Lingbei Province brought with them a large number of good horses, all of which came from Siberia.

These people took the horses with them, hoping to get some money from the horse market in Datang.

Tang Zhangwei encouraged this kind of transaction very much, because along this road, the people of the Tang Dynasty and the people of Lingbei Province were closely connected.

The horse traders in Lingbei Province made a lot of money, and the people of the Tang Dynasty received their much-needed livestock.

In the past, the officials of the Tang Dynasty made things difficult in every way, but now there is no one to stop them from doing business.

These people carried a large number of banknotes and gold coins every day, as well as Kaiyuan Tongbao, to and from the mainland of Datang and the province of Lingbei.

These people worked their own and earned money to support their families, as well as the inn and a series of people. However, some people are not satisfied. They deliberately made things difficult for these people, saying that the horses brought by the horse dealers in Lingbei Province might have viruses and horse plague.

Indeed, the horses of Lingbei Province may carry these things, but the key is where in the world are the creatures that do not carry these things?

These guys relied on their own grease mouths to slander the horses of Lingbei Province as worthless, and at the same time raised their war horses very high.

These people's minds are very vicious, their purpose is nothing more than to monopolize this industry by themselves, relying on their mouths, these people talk nonsense all day long, causing heavy pressure on the people of Datang and the horse dealers in Lingbei Province.

These guys make everyone frightened, and they are not happy to eat and talk on weekdays.

These horse dealers in Lingbei Province thought of the actual ruler of the Tang Dynasty, General Tang Zhangwei.

One of them hooked up with Fei Xuechun, and he said to Fei Xuechun: "We are just some serious businessmen, but these people are looking for trouble with us every day, so that our business is almost unsuccessful." ”

Fei Xuechun said to him: "You have something to say, what do you want to do when you come to me?" ”

The guy said to Fei Xuechun: "I want to plead my case to General Tang Zhangwei." ”

Fei Xuechun said: "I can help you with this, but you'd better prepare the evidence fully, you have to know that Tang Xizong, as well as Tang Xizong's favorite concubine Cui Chuchu, as well as the Jin Wuwei general named Li Maozhen, and the dredge of Tang Xizong, all hope to get a vote here in the horse market." ”

The person who talked to Fei Xuechun was called Ma Yutian, this person naturally liked Soma, he said with a bitter face: "I can't take people with me, I can't talk, I am only free when I am with horses." ”

Fei Xuechun said: "That's okay, you have to know that General Tang Zhangwei has a general named Bai Cunxiao, he likes horses the most, you talk to him a lot, this person can talk to you all day." ”

Ma Yutian took a group of good horses to General Tang Zhangwei's horse farm.

There, General Tang Zhangwei and Bai Cunxiao, as well as Tang Xizong, were all there. It turned out that they were going to play a game of polo.

At the same time, many of the emperor's relatives who ran the horse business filed a complaint against Tang Xizong. Tang Xizong has been trying to pressure Tang Zhangwei, trying to get Tang Zhangwei to reduce the purchase of horses in Lingbei Province.

Tang Xizong tried to convince Tang Zhangwei and even wanted to stop the horse market. Tang Zhangwei has always advocated free trade, and he hopes to increase the introduction of good horses from Lingbei Province, so that the Tang cavalry can be stronger, and at the same time, the horse breeds of the Tang Dynasty can be improved.

Princess Suining, Wei Wan'er, and Wei Zhuang were all waiting there.

As soon as they met, General Tang Zhangwei said: "You have merit!" The good horses of Lingbei Province were transported to Datang, so that the Tang immigrants, as well as the local indigenous people and the economy of Datang were closely linked, and this kind of blood and water relationship was more effective than stationing 100,000 people. ”

Tang Xizong smiled and said, "My local horse breeders in the Tang Dynasty are complaining, and those merchants who are in the horse trading business are even more annoyed. They threatened that if the officials of the Tang Dynasty did not boycott the good horses of Lingbei Province, they would attack those horse traders in Lingbei Province. ”

Tang Zhangwei was furious, he slapped the hilt of the knife in his hand, and said: "These people are the opposite, they don't want to think about how to raise horses well, they don't think much about doing their own business, and they are doing some crooked ways all day long, if they do this." General Ben will definitely not spare them, whether they are relatives of the emperor or some other backstage, I will take care of them. ”

Tang Xizong saw that Tang Zhangwei was angry, he also felt a little scared, he had no choice but to say to Tang Zhangwei: "I just talk casually, reflect the voice of the people, and have no other meaning." ”

Tang Zhangwei said: "In the past, beef outside the Tang Dynasty did not come in, and it was a crime for us people in the Tang Dynasty to eat a cow, and the government wanted to arrest people at that time." Now, Datang does business with overseas provinces, and beef is eaten with an open belly, as long as you have money, you can eat as much as you want. Therefore, trade protection is unacceptable, those Yang horse households are in difficulty, and we can borrow money from Datang Bank, if there is no technology, and there is no good horse breed, our Ministry of Industry can take charge of this matter, and set up a special animal husbandry bureau to help horse farmers raise good horses, but we cannot rely on the old and closed to solve the problem of competition. This is not good, this can only make us poor and weak. ”

Princess Suining saw that the atmosphere was very tense, so she said, "Aren't you going to play polo?" How to debate the trade policy of Datang's local and overseas provinces? ”

Bai Cunxiao said: "There are a large number of good horses here, let's pick some to play polo!" ”

Tang Xizong said: "No, I still use the good horse prepared in my imperial stable?" ”

Tang Zhangwei smiled and said, "I will use this batch of horses from Lingbei Province to compete with Your Majesty." ”

Tang Xizong said: "It's not interesting to just play polo, you have to have some color." ”

Tang Zhangwei said: "If Your Majesty wins this polo match, in the European provinces of the Tang Dynasty, there is a place called Ireland that hangs out of the sea, and its land is extremely fertile, with an area of more than 70,000 square kilometers, I will regard him as Your Majesty's private imperial estate." ”

Tang Xizong said: "What if I lose? ”

Tang Zhangwei said: "I hope that in the future, your majesty will not agree to how the emperor's relatives and relatives will want to compete with the people for profits and establish monopoly commercial institutions." ”

Tang Xizong thought for a while and said, "Okay, I promise you." ”

Bai Cunxiao said to Tang Zhangwei: "General, Your Majesty has a deep accomplishment in the polo field, is it a bit too risky for you to do this?" ”

Tang Zhangwei said with a smile: "Even if I don't know how to play polo, but my Soma skills are still good, even if my Soma skills are not good, my skills in seeing people are still good, I have confidence in you and Ma Yutian, a horse dealer in Lingbei Province." ”

In Lingbei Province, Ma Yutian and many others have also played polo, but they are wild balls.

Now, playing polo with Tang Xizong and them, it is court polo, and Ma Yutian watches it with relish.
