The Chinese people's ability to reproduce has always been super-strong, and when there is no economic pressure, everyone is willing to have more children, and the tradition of having more children and grandchildren is not known from what era it began to be inherited.

The Sun family is no exception, but this time Sun Xiangfu failed to get his wish, because Hongmei and Chuntao both gave birth to sons, and in the words of later generations, they are both debt collectors.

However, before these two debt collectors collected debts, they first helped Sun Xiangfu earn a vote, Jingzhou area, the most powerful eldest grandson Wuji in the officialdom, Wang Xu, the most appealing family group, Ma Lin, Zhang Quan, Wang Fu and Wang Gui brothers, all gathered at the Sun family in Jiuyuan County on the third day of the junior high school, and lined up to send congratulatory gifts to Sun Xiangfu.

The reason why we have to queue up, it is because the people of Jiuyuan County have also come to send congratulatory gifts, not a valuable thing, according to local customs, the full moon wine is to eat red eggs, everyone brought eggs, which led to the eggs collected by the Sun family, which can be calculated by tons.

The eldest grandson Wuji cares very much about his official image in the people, so he is forced to line up behind the people who arrived first, and if he doesn't cut the line, it will be even more impossible for others to cut the line, so after almost an hour, the eldest grandson Wuji dispersed among the people before finally being able to enter the house.

"I have to queue up for an hour to congratulate you, and there is no second one in the entire Datang."

"It seems that I, the master, have neglected it, and you still ask for atonement, atonement for your sins!"

Both of them were talking with smiling faces, purely joking, at this time, seeing that Uncle De outside the gate also led Wang Xu, Ma Lin Zhang Quan and others in, the eldest grandson Wuji gave Sun Xiangfu a look, and the two soon came to the study to talk.

"Cheng Qian humiliated the Tibetan envoy in Chang'an." The eldest grandson Wuji took a sip of tea and said directly.

"What's the situation?" Recently, there have been many ministers who have written to ask Sun Xiangfu, but he knows that Tubo has sent envoys to Chang'an.

"Cheng Qian said, you taught him that the country should have the integrity of not getting along, not paying tribute, not paying compensation, not cutting land, not paying tribute, the Son of Heaven guarding the country, and the king dying of the society, so he regarded Tubo coming to propose marriage as a move to tarnish the integrity of my Tang Dynasty, and when the Tubo envoys arrived in Chang'an, they had to let them enter the city through the Yanping Gate, and let them kneel in front of the city gate and pay a big salute to the subjects watching on the city wall."

"And then? Did the Tibetan envoys bow down? ”

"Okay, this time, they came to pay tribute in the posture of the lower state, but the gift list and the document of asking for marriage they presented were thrown down from the city tower by Chengqian in public."

"That's a bit too much, what is the reaction of the people?"

It is definitely a great humiliation to discard the credentials held by the envoys who recognize your status in public, and usually, it will lead to the relationship between the two countries entering a freezing point, and in terms of the current disparity in strength between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, I am not afraid of any actions from them, and even hope that they will run down from the plateau to fight.

However, this kind of behavior will damage Li Chengqian's personal image, after all, people are envoys who express submission, even if you are dissatisfied with other people's demands, just refuse, excessive humiliation will make people think that you are a stingy and mean person.

"The people cheered for a while, after all, the people of Chang'an City all knew that Tubo was involved in my heart of the Tang Dynasty, but it was the performance of the two brothers of Zanxiruo and Qinling ······" When Eldest Sun Wuji said this, he frowned, and Sun Xiangfu knew that it was a worried expression.

Several sons of Lu Dongzan, but they are not weaker than his talents, the eldest son Zanxiruo after his death, assisted Mangsong Mangzan for 18 years, the national strength of Tubo was raised to an unprecedented level, the second son Qinling was called the god of the Tubo army, after receiving the position of Zanxiruo, he was nearly sixty years old, in the battle of Dafeichuan, annihilated the Tang army of 100,000, almost killed Xue Rengui, after that, at the age of nearly eighty, and his younger brother Zanpo defeated the Wuzhou general Li Jingxuan, Wang Xiaojie.

During the more than 50 years that their brother was in charge of Tibet, the war between Tibet and the Tang Dynasty was rarely defeated, laying the foundation for Tibet to become a world power.

Sun Xiangfu didn't know these histories, he only knew that even when the Tang Dynasty was the strongest in history, it failed to eliminate Tubo, but was almost wiped out by Tubo.

"What's wrong with their brother's performance?"

"It's a little weird, it's hard to guess."

"What's weird?"

"After being humiliated and refused, they did not show much anger, but knelt outside the Yanping Gate, let the ministers and the people of the city wall watch, and begged His Majesty to let them see their father."

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu sighed in his heart, these two brothers seemed to lose face in Tubo, but it also made Datang bear a bad reputation for bullying the weak, thinking about it, as smart as Li Shimin, he would not fail to see this.

Sure enough, the eldest grandson Wuji said again, "Later, Your Majesty knew about this, and immediately allowed their brothers to visit in prison, and after they met Lu Dongzan, they did not mention the matter of asking for relatives or releasing Lu Dongzan, but asked Your Majesty to give Tubo 100,000 sets of Four Books and Five Classics." ”

"Oh, that's a bit of a surprise to me." When Sun Xiangfu heard this, he was a little confused.

In fact, this question, if you let a person who is familiar with the general trend of history, it is not difficult to understand, because, in this period, the Tibetan slave kingdom, the thirst for knowledge is extremely strong, in history, why did they deliberately seek the princess of the Tang Dynasty?

Songtsen Gampo is not a person who lacks women, he has long married Princess Chizun of Nepal as his wife, what he asks for is the cultural knowledge of the Tang Dynasty, the craftsmanship, and the thousands of craftsmen who accompany Princess Wencheng to marry, which is what he really wants.

Li Shimin thought that mixing water and sending some Buddhist scriptures to the plateau would change the attributes of this nation, but in fact this was not the case, Tubo not only did not decline because of the entry of religion, but because of the entry of religion, the various tribes in their country appeared a high degree of unity, resulting in a leap in its overall strength.

Because, in places with a lower level of civilization, religious culture will always be easier to spread than other ruling cultures, for example, in Lingnan and Yunnan, everyone believed in the witch doctor, even if that set is not very bright at all, it is more awe-inspiring than the power of the tribal leader.

The Wa Kingdom is also an example of asserting imperial power with the help of divine power, and finally succeeded in achieving great unification.

The final result of Li Shimin's practice in history was that Tubo became stronger and stronger, and after more than 100 years, it conquered Chang'an.

And now, under the guise of being friendly, they are looking for the Four Books and Five Classics from Datang, which makes the whole thing even more interesting.

Judging from their praise of the Ruo brothers' performance, it seems that from the beginning, they did not think about the success of the courtship, and after being rejected, they turned to asking for a book, which was their real purpose.

Even, 100,000 sets of four books and five classics, it is estimated that they deliberately shouted out for Datang to bargain, Sun Xiangfu felt that even if Li Shimin only gave them 10,000 sets, they would go back in a hurry.

Because, since the Battle of Yanpingmen, the native population of Tibet did not even have a million, and he asked for 100,000 sets of four books and five classics, which could almost give one to all the people under their rule.

Even the Tang Dynasty is not rich enough to let everyone have books to read, how can it be possible for everyone in Tubo to read books!

"What does Masaaki think about this?" Knowing that Sun Xiangfu still had guests outside, the eldest grandson Wuji didn't delay his time much and asked.

"Simple, give it to them."

"All to them? That's 100,000 sets, hundreds of thousands of books. ”

"The printing house has four books and five classics of engraving, the cost of printing a set of books, that is, paper, ink, and some labor money, on average, the cost of printing a set is not even a hundred Wen, that is, 100,000 sets, but only about 10,000 yuan, didn't they send 3,000 yaks, 5,000 war horses? We're making a lot of money. Sun Xiangfu gave the eldest grandson Wuji a little calculation.

"However, so many books have flowed into Tibet, won't it have an impact on my Tang Dynasty?"

"If it's a book like "Qi Min's Technique", one is too much, if it's four books and five classics, one million copies, I'm too little! In addition, if they don't know Chinese characters, I think they can send some scholars who are interested in contributing to the liberation of the plateau to Tibet, I think, since the Tibetan people can go up, we Han people, may not be able to go up, we may need to explore, master the method of adaptation, even if we can't find any effective method in the end, as long as the Tubo people know Chinese and speak Chinese, then, they are not far from the day of being conquered by us. ”

Hearing Sun Xiangfu say this, the eldest grandson Wuji was silent for a long time, in that place on the Tubo Plateau, the Tang army had severe altitude sickness just by going up, and it was difficult to barely move, not to mention the high-intensity confrontation and fighting, and the use of force to conquer was a bit impractical at present.

In addition to force, the only thing that Datang can use is cultural conquest, and this set of methods said by Sun Xiangfu is a labor-saving and feasible strategy.

"Alright! This matter, I will play Your Majesty to promote it, but it is a matter on the side of Jiangling, I still have to ask you, is it really appropriate to let the Wang family account for most of the benefits? After the eldest grandson Wuji figured it out, he nodded.

"For the imperial court, it doesn't make a difference who takes the advantage, it's not the same tax, whoever collects it is collected, but for their various mountain forces, there will be a different situation, this uneven distribution can stimulate them to compete for interests with each other, as long as they compete with each other, the court can take the opportunity to do a lot of things.

A few days ago, Xiao Xiang wrote to me and asked me, how to allocate our Tang Dynasty's cultivated land more reasonably, this is the point you can use, how the imperial court wants to deploy, directly send a letter to the family where the place to be deployed, obey, give policy inclination, disobedient, you know what to do. ”

Nationwide land allocation, it is necessary to face the nationwide landlords and strong, the imperial court now has their interests in the port, then, it is necessary to use these interests to complete the political goals of the imperial court, relying only on the Shannan Province area to build a field, and the army reclaimed out of the army to deploy the land is definitely not possible, this has too strong geographical space restrictions, can not take care of the people of the whole country.

There is another reason, that is, the undeveloped places are not infinite, and after the population enters a high-speed growth, it is necessary to set aside enough reserve space to rectify these landlords who hold a large amount of high-quality land, but do not actually participate in the cultivation, so as to reserve more reserve space and prevent social contradictions from occurring in the future because of the problem of resource allocation.
