Sun Xiangfu has been moving forward according to the road he has planned, active in all the poor areas that need agriculture, commerce, and infrastructure development, and Datang has also become better and better under his continuous decoration.

In October, when he came to Yunnan again, there had been a big change from more than a year ago, at least, the hundred miles around Dali City were full of beautiful fields.

Moreover, Sun Xiangfu met a very surprising person here, the former Tubo minister, Lu Dongzan, who was supposed to eat in prison in Chang'an, he seemed to be talking about some cooperation with Shelong.

"Dongzan, I've seen Young Master Sun." Lu Dongzan, who was wearing a cotton coat produced by the Guanzhong Textile Factory, was very elegant and gave Sun Xiangfu a Han greeting salute.

"I remember that you seem to be locked up in Chang'an, when were you released?" Sun Xiangfu casually replied with a salute and asked.

"Both of you and I are honest states, we have opened trade routes and mutual markets in accordance with the requirements put forward by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that year, this year is the agreed three-year period, at the beginning of the year, I was released to Tibet by His Royal Highness the Prince.

Now, our Zampu has also gotten up and rushed to Broken Leaf City, according to the original agreement, to pay tribute to His Majesty the Emperor of your country, and recognize the Tang Dynasty as the suzerain.

And I, now, on behalf of my own clan, the Gar clan, have come to talk to General Sheron about something. ”

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu was very surprised, he didn't think that Songtsen Gampo would be brainwashed by Confucianism so quickly, and he would be loyal to Li Shimin, the monarch's father.

This is certainly not possible.

There is a reason why Songtsen Gampo has taken this step.

He didn't expect that after the spread of 100,000 sets of the Four Books and Five Classics in Tibet, it would have such a great impact on the people of various tribes under him, and the slave kingdom was inferior to a big civilization level in front of the feudal empire, and when the low-level people who were regarded as slaves by him came into contact with the idea of feudal monarchy, they could no longer bear to be a slave who had no rights at all and lived and killed by others.

They want to find their father, His Majesty the Tang Emperor, who is enshrined as the Heavenly Khan, and live a bad life like the Tang Dynasty from now on.

When, they have such an unreliable idea, because, after the opening of the trade route from Tibet to the outside world and the mutual market, more Tang merchants began to walk on the plateau and spread it to them.

At the same time, the people who taught these slave Confucianism were also scholars from the Tang Dynasty, and these people let them know more about the outside world, and after having a comparison, they naturally felt great harm.

How many emperors of other people's families do not collect taxes, but also give houses, fields, and livestock, and it doesn't matter if they don't even know how to farm, they send people to teach, this is the real son of heaven, and treats all the people as their own children.

Therefore, it was only in the second year of the opening of the trade route from the mutual market and Han merchants to the Tubo Plateau that slaves from all over Tubo began to defect on a large scale, and those Tang merchants who traded in Tubo were a little too generous, and when they encountered such fugitive slaves, they usually gave away enough food and clothing to support them to leave Tubo alive, of course, these slaves will basically flee to the Tang Dynasty.

Because, as long as they go down to the plateau, whether they go to Ningchuan Road or the boundary of Anxi Dadu Hufu, they can immediately get a job with a consistent monthly income and two full meals a day, and live a relatively decent life.

What makes Songtsen Gampo even more depressed is that the various tribes are very ineffective in dealing with fugitive slaves, after they have hooked up with the merchants of the Tang Dynasty, they have been lost under their money offensive, and even took the initiative to sell their slaves to those merchants, who asked people to pay a high price, and befriended them by selling slaves, they would be able to get whatever they wanted!

Therefore, in just over two years, the population of Tibet has shrunk by two or three percent again, and Songtsen Gampo's actual control over the various Tibetan departments can be said to be precarious.

Just like Lu Dongzan in front of him, although after experiencing a fiasco, it is no longer possible for him to be the prime minister of Tubo, but with his talent, there is no problem to be a high-level manager.

However, he did not return to Songtsen Gampo's side, but returned to the Gar clan tribe as a representative of the clan, and when he came to Yunnan, he only talked with Shelong about some private cooperation with his own tribe, which had nothing to do with Tibetan politics.

The strength of the Gar clan tribe in Tibet is second only to that of Songtsen Gampo himself, so even if Lu Dongzan makes a big mistake because of the defeat, Songtsen Gampo still has to let his son be the prime minister.

From the fact that in history, Songtsen Gampo's grandson Ji Si Rong succeeded to the throne, he has been planning to kill the Qinling brothers, and it can be seen that their internal contradictions are very serious.

And the various methods of the Tang Dynasty exacerbated the internal contradictions in Tubo, which was already much weaker than in history after the great defeat, that is, the genius of Songtsen Gampo Tianzong, who barely maintained the situation, and now he thought of the means of submitting to the Tang Dynasty to continue to maintain his rule over Tubo.

But he didn't know that it was not so easy to be a minister to the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin's Broken Leaf City, now there are more than 300,000 sergeants who have been trained for several years, and if Songtsen Gampo goes to pay homage to the ministers under the banner of completing the agreement, I am afraid that he will fake it and really hand over the actual control of Tubo to the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin will not make any policy concessions to the outside world at such a critical time, and will only incorporate the Tibetan territory into Tibet in accordance with the conditions that Datang has already announced.

Lu Dongzan is a smart man, he has been in the prison of Chang'an for several years, from some small angles, he has seen the strength of the Tang Dynasty, even if he is in prison there, the officials give these prisoners to eat, it is all white rice, sometimes, there is even fish and meat, and when the festival of the Han people comes, they will also give some wine.

He couldn't imagine how rich a country would have been to where prisoners could eat white rice, all kinds of vegetables and meats, and drink sweet spirits to warm their bodies.

Therefore, after he was released at the beginning of the year, he did not go back to Tibet directly, but took a good walk around Chang'an and Weinan.

He found that there were few things that he was familiar with, those that were relatively rough in Chang'an or Weinan, on the contrary, revealing exquisite things, which were everywhere, especially the tall, crystal glazed palace main hall, he even had a feeling that he had entered another world or lived in a dream.

Then, he returned to Tubo in despair, and after learning about the internal situation in Tubo, he resolutely made a decision, the interests of his tribe are above all else, the ship of Tubo and the ship of Songtsen Gampo may capsize soon, and it is more beneficial for them to make changes as soon as possible.

Therefore, Lu Dongzan refused the appointment of Songtsen Gampo, and the result was that the prestige of Songtsen Gampo in Tibet was greatly damaged again, and the various tribes began to form a new tacit understanding, which did not know what was beneficial to Songtsen Gampo, and they followed what was beneficial to them, and basically did not listen to the greeting if there was no benefit.

Moreover, almost every tribe will treat a few merchants of the Tang Dynasty as guests, because these people are the ones who can bring them material enjoyment and benefits.

Sun Xiangfu didn't know the actual situation in Tubo, he only knew that the reason why Lu Dongzan came to talk to Shelong about things may be because Shelong was the stupidest local commander-type chief in the Tang Dynasty around Tubo, compared to Li Ji of Ningchuan Province and Chai Shao of Jiannan Province, he was the best fool.

So, he couldn't help but ask a few more words, "Talk about things?" Can you tell me about it? ”

Lu Dongzan said with a smile, "I didn't intend to hide this from the Tang Dynasty, it's like this, my Gar clan wants to move some people to Yunnan County and become ordinary people here, making a living from farming and business, hoping to get the permission of General Shelong, for this, we, the Gar clan, are willing to pay a certain price." ”

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu understood, Lu Dongzan, is to play the same set that the Central Plains family used to play, betting on both sides, and it is a bet that is beneficial to their Gar clan no matter what, because, once they get the cultivated land in the land of Nanzhong, or start doing business, then their own people who stay on the Tubo Plateau will continue to get a steady stream of output from Nanzhong and make profits.

With such support, their Gar clan can not only stand more firmly in Tubo, but also have a way out.

Sun Xiangfu continued to ask, "Then how big are you going to move?" ”

Lu Dongzan replied, "Three to fifty thousand, of course, we still want more, as long as General Shelong or the Tang Imperial Court agrees." ”

"Agree, if there is anything to disagree with, as long as you come down, we all agree, this matter, I will write to the prince, there is more than ninety percent certainty, he will approve, but, since you Geer clan wants to come to the land of Nanzhong to be a merchant for the people, you need to accept the planning and arrangement of the imperial court, and the people who come down, we will disperse and assign them to various states and counties, this, you have no problem!" Sun Xiangfu directly agreed for Shelong.

After speaking, he also gave a reassuring look to Shelong, who was looking at him a little uneasily, and suddenly, Shelong no longer cared about what Sun Xiangfu did.

This is a population of tens of thousands, with a total of less than one million people on the Tubo Plateau, which is almost one percent of the population of Tubo.

Lu Dongzan nodded and said, "This is natural, the arrangement of tens of thousands of horses, at least a few states of territory, we don't think that Datang will directly allocate a few states to us, however, in order to ensure that these people can live well, we don't want them to be too scattered, I believe, you don't want to see our people come here, can't live!" ”

Sun Xiangfu said with a smile, "Of course, dozens and hundreds, in a market town, or in a planting industry, industrial and commercial industry, you can accept it!" ”

Lu Dongzan smiled, "Very capable." ”

Sun Xiangfu nodded and said, "Then let's just say it, later, I will send a letter to the prince, I believe, it won't be long before the imperial court will pass, you can stay here and wait for the good news, or you can send the letter back, so that the people in the clan can be ready to come down." ”()
