Chapter 1304: Lu Dongzan's Sorrow (II)

There are many factions within Tibet, and the social classes are much clearer than those of the Tang Dynasty, slaves will always be slaves, and nobles will always be nobles, which has led to extremely serious social divisions. Although Songtsen Gampo, who had the full support of the Gar family, was extremely prestigious, he still could not completely suppress the various forces of the tribe.

There is no way, Tubo is too vast, the population is too sparse, and the environment is too harsh......

In what way to twist the loose Tubo into a rope, so as not to consume the already pitiful vitality of Tubo due to internal friction? This is a big problem that every generation of Zamp is anxious about. It wasn't until Songtsen Gampo came to power that he found a simple and direct way, and that was - war!

Keep waging wars in all directions, and use the dividends of war to unite all strata of Tibet!

It has to be said that this kind of rapid expansion has greatly benefited the major powerful forces in Tibet, so that all the scattered forces have guarded themselves under the command of Songtsen Gampo, unprecedented unity, and this unity has made Tubo's combat effectiveness climb to a new height.

That's why Tubo dared to send troops to Tuyuhun!

That's why you dare to provoke Datang!

And forcibly marrying a Tang princess with this strong force is a clever plan that Lu Dongzan offered to Songtsan Gampo. In any case, the barren land and sparse population of Tibet are destined to make it impossible to continue the strategy of "feeding war with war" for a long time, and Lu Dongzan, who has long been entangled with the interests of Songtsen Gampo, knows that only by maintaining a close relationship with the Tang Dynasty can he still maintain the oppression of various forces within Tubo in the future.

It's a pity that after thousands of calculations, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty actually blatantly rejected Tubo's courtship strategy! His Majesty the powerful Emperor did not care about the threats and provocations of the Tibetans, and took an extremely tough stance.

Threaten me?

Then fight!

And what strengthened the Tang Emperor's mind was the Fang Jun in front of him......

Because of this, Lu Dongzan was once full of resentment towards Fang Jun.

But then, Fang Jun's idea of "barley wine" was that Lu Dongzan completely abandoned the little resentment in his heart, which made him suddenly enlightened!

Lu Dongzan is an ambitious person, the Gar family has always been the top existence in Tibet, even the Zampu of all generations must maintain respect for the Gar family and try their best to win over. Even though the Gar family is powerful, it has never been strong in political pursuits, and Lu Dongzan actually does not have much ambition, which his family has always been like this.

However, his second son, Qinling Tsandro, behaved differently from his ancestors, full of ambitions for power and politics......

In Lu Dongzan's view, instead of striving for the right to cover the sky with one hand, it is better to focus all his efforts on how to improve the living conditions of the Tibetan people. Writing the name into the history books and letting future generations comment on the merits and demerits, and carving the name into the hearts of the people for eternity, Lu Dongzan did not hesitate to choose the latter.

When the Gar family assisted Songtsen Gampo to unify all the Tibetan tribes, their original intention was to stabilize the chaotic situation in Tibet and strive for a peaceful and stable living environment for thousands of people.

Therefore, he vigorously promoted the brewing of barley wine in Tibet.

And it turned out that his choice was right, with the successful brewing of highland barley wine exported to all parts of the Tang Dynasty, a huge amount of wealth poured into Tibet!

But it was precisely this that led to violent turmoil within Tibet......

Lu Dongzan was not a fool, he naturally knew that the influx of wealth into Tibet would make all the heroes coveted, and this was probably the real intention of Fang Jun to launch this "barley wine plan", in order to offset the war potential within Tubo and the ambition of external expansion.

Since they can make money safely at home, who wants to rob everywhere with their lives?

Once this wealth pours into Tibet, it will greatly stimulate the economy of Tibet, and at least the price of barley, which is the raw material of barley wine, will skyrocket! Once the price of grain rises, the most direct beneficiaries will inevitably be the people. Even the slaves in those powerful families, because they have to reclaim a lot of wasteland to grow barley, have to give them an extra full meal, right?

Lu Dongzan didn't care if Tubo would gradually lose his ferocious fighting spirit and become a tiger without minions, as long as the people could benefit from it, he thought it was worth it. If you are not a Tibetan person, you will never understand how poor the mountains and rivers of that plateau are, how desolate and withered it is!

It's a pity that Lu Dongzan still underestimated how big the benefits of barley wine were, and how fragile the resistance of the Tibetan nobles was in the face of this trend of wealth......

"Now, the nobles of Tibet throw all the barley into the wine cellars, and the slaves in the family have a daily meal, which is some weeds and bran, and there is hardly a grain for sale in the market...... "Lu Dongzan's face was full of sorrow......

Who would have thought that those aristocrats would become so crazy in the face of money?

I would rather starve the slaves and all the Tibetan civilians to death than let a grain of barley flow out and be thrown into the cellar to make wine!

It was just a winter, and the people and efforts of the people who died of hunger in Tibet were countless, and Songtsen Gampo almost turned his hair white, and even wanted to gather an army to exterminate several nobles and force them to relax the food restrictions......

That, of course, is impossible.

Although Songtsen Gampo had the power to suppress all the nobles of Tibet by virtue of his supreme prestige and the strong support of the Gar family, if he did so, it would be tantamount to a mad act of cutting off the meridians, and the powerful Tibetans would instantly fall into civil strife, pushing the people into misery......

Fang Jun was pleasantly surprised: "Is that really the case? ”

Lu Dongzan looked at Fang Jun with a happy face, and his face turned black in an instant, and he almost scolded!

Although Lao Tzu knew that you were not at ease when the barley wine was launched, and accepting the suggestion of the barley wine was equivalent to acquiescing and willing to cooperate with Fang Jun's plan to make Tubo turn from war to stable economic construction, but is it really good for you to gloat at such a red fruit?

Lu Dongzan endured his anger and said angrily: "That is related to countless Tibetan people, who, like the Han people, grew up under the blue sky and were blessed by the Xinrao Miwo Buddha!" Every living being deserves to live happily and be respected! ”

Fang Jun scoffed.

Respect?

When you worship your nobles with the wealth you have plundered by war, how can you ever think of respect for others?

He didn't know what kind of Buddha Xinrao Miwo Buddha was, and he really wanted to ask Lu Dongzan: Since you have received the blessing of this Xinrao Miwo Buddha, why don't you ask it to bring you perfection and liberation, but instead run to Datang?

However, this kind of issue involving faith, Fang Jun will not be stupid to speak and ridicule.

He respected all the gods of the world, not even himself......

So he held back his sarcasm and asked, "Why did you come here so much?" Could it be to raise the price of barley wine? Well, that's something to consider. We're old friends, as long as you open your mouth, it's not a big problem to improve. ”

Lu Dongzan was so angry that he wanted to go crazy......

Also promoted?

The current price has already made those noble lords crazy, and if it is raised, won't the Tubo people not be able to eat a grain of barley? Although there is also wheat and rice in Tibet, but limited to the climate and soil, the scale of cultivation is extremely scarce, once the barley is completely controlled by the frenzied nobles, I don't know how many Tibetan people starved to death!

Lu Dongzan can be seen clearly, not to mention the conspiracy and tricks of this Fang Jun's belly, he also has a vicious heart! In his eyes, only the Han people are human beings, and the life or death of the Tubo people does not care at all!

Glaring at Fang Jun, Lu Dongzan said: "The contemptible people came this time to ask Your Excellency to say a few words in front of the Tang Emperor, hoping that the Tang Dynasty can win the courtship of Tubo, and the two countries will always become the country of Weng's son-in-law, with a strip of water, always a good neighbor, and no swords and soldiers for a hundred generations!" ”

Fang Jun was stunned, and glanced at Li Xiaogong, who was the old god on the side, it was obvious that this county prince had already known Lu Dongzan's intentions in advance, and he did not object to it.

What's the matter with this Tibetan person, who hasn't given up courting for marriage?

It's really a wolf's ambition, and he vows not to give up until he reaches his goal!
