Lu Dongzan continued to explain: "Cross Slope has sold its products to the Tang Dynasty and even all over the Western Regions without leaving home, with great momentum and effortlessness. ∮ pine∞ ∞ Xiao ∮ said

Even if he expanded his influence, what he paid was just a white slip, but what he gained was the spices, treasures and gold of the merchants of the Western Regions, which was a win-win. ”

After all, Songtsen Gampo is also a smart person, and he also thought of something and said: "Hey, then I also know that there is another win that is the Turkic merchant."

They came all the way with their goods and sold them directly at the Cross Slope Market, saving time and buying the products of the Cross Slope.

It is not easy to live in Chang'an, and staying in Chang'an for a long time is a big expense, so you can save it.

Then, by selling the products of the cross slope, he directly gained more money, and used this money to buy more goods that he would have needed.

It is equivalent to doing two trades in a short period of time, one trip to the business earns two trips of goods, double the income, it is indeed a win, but what about the third win? ”

Lu Dongzan looked at the people who came and went with envy, some of them did business, but more of them came here to work, and a large number of merchants also brought more jobs, even if they led the way to be a broker, they could make a lot of money.

"Another win is this Datang and the people, Datang gets the taxes they want because of these businesses, and the people enjoy the convenience brought by the cross slope."

"At the same time, you can also make more money with the help of these merchants, and look at these people, most of them are ordinary people."

"If according to the previous situation in Datang, these people can get the most full treatment, but now everyone is well fed, clothed, warm, and has more money to live in."

"As the saying goes, if the country is rich, the people will be strong, and if the people are rich, the country will be strong, and what is even more terrifying is that these changes are just because of one person, and no one knows what will change in the future."

Lu Dongzan was already worried when he said this, although he admired such a person very much, but when he thought that such a person would be his opponent, Lu Dongzan felt a little terrible.

After all, it is a terrifying thing to have a person who is far above you in terms of intellectual means and his own strength as an opponent.

Not only Lu Dongzan is like this, Songtsan Gampo also heard a change in his face, this person is really as strong as the prime minister said, that is really not good news for himself, the Tang Dynasty is Huatianbao, it is impossible to say that Tubo is not coveted, but now it is necessary to consider the issue of self-preservation.

"Why don't we try and see if we can get the help of this Immortal Elder Chen?" Songtsen Gampo asked tentatively.

Help what? He came in disguise this time, firstly, to investigate the reality of the Tang Dynasty, and secondly, to see the princess of the Tang Dynasty up close.

Yes, he came to ask for a marriage, but he didn't want his wife to have never met, and he didn't believe it just by listening to the minister's good words.

So he wanted to see it with his own eyes, and then he came, Lu Dongzan said that he was very helpless, is he so unreliable?

"It's really going to be found, but Zampu had better not get too much hope, looking at this person's behavior, it seems that he has a great prejudice against the alien newspaper." Lu Dongzan is not very optimistic.

Lu Dongzan said this, but Songtsen Gampo did not think so, and said to Lu Dongzan: "You say that you are biased, I don't see it at all, I also look at his actions, and the conclusion I have come to is true, I can only ask this person to be soft but not hard."

This person treats the surrendered tribes of the Turks very favorably, and kills those who resist without mercy, which shows that he has compassion but will not be indecisive because of this, and the typical obedient prosper and the rebellious perish.

As long as I show enough sincerity and do not hinder his ideas, I have the protection of Tibet and can soar to the sky. ”

Lu Dongzan nodded in approval of Songtsen Gampo's words, but shook his head to express his disapproval, nodding because if Chen Mo really helped them, then they could really dominate one side and become the same country as the Tang Dynasty.

As for shaking his head, he said, "Zampu, you only see the good side, but you can't see the bad side, don't you think this Datang is abnormal?"

This is Chang'an, the residence of the emperor at the feet of the Son of Heaven, but who do you think is the person they talk about in Chang'an?

There are also those big families, even the emperor's face can be refused, but they don't dare to have ideas about this, not only do they dare not have ideas, but they also have to find ways to join in to seek their protection and absorb benefits.

In addition, there are other meritorious nobles among the ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, and now whose disciples do not come to the cross slope to go to school? Heaven and Earth are the king's own teachers, but they are often above the king, what kind of consequences does Zampu think will be caused by this in the long run? ”

At the beginning, Songtsen Gampo didn't feel anything, but when Lu Dongzan said more and more, Songtsen Gampo finally came back to his senses, and his face was a little cloudy.

After a long time, Songtsan Ganbu said astringently: "What does the great minister mean, this Chen Immortal has a heart of disobedience?" ”

Lu Dongzan listened to it and said with a strange expression: "I have never been a minister, why not be a minister!" The minister just reminded Zampu that such a character is absolutely impossible to control, and he can trade and cooperate, but he can't rely on it, let alone use it.

But presumably the Tang Emperor is more distressed than us, after all, such a person is really unpredictable. ”

The two finally finished talking, fortunately, they spoke the language of Tubo, and the others didn't know what it meant, the cross slope still had to go, there were many people who asked to see Chen Mo, and although the foreign envoys had special identities, they still had to go through the procedures.

Even the prince of the Tang Dynasty is here to be a registrar with peace of mind, what are these people?

In the Tang Palace, as Lu Dongzan said, His Majesty the Emperor was very distressed, and he was walking back and forth in the Taiji Palace, sighing from time to time.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Empress Eldest Sun looked at Li Shimin helplessly and sighed secretly, and said funny, there are not many things that can make Li Shimin do this.

"Guanyin, you are here, you quickly give me an idea, the Turks have been eliminated, and now it is considered to have solved a big trouble, and Shubao has also returned to the court, it stands to reason that this is a great thing, but..."

Empress Eldest Sun listened to him quietly, and when she saw him stop, she asked, "But what is it?" ”

"But that Turki Khan actually asked to live in Chen Mo's ranch and be a common man, this... Isn't that looking down on me! ”

Turki is the Khan of the Turks, and now they have all surrendered, it stands to reason that he Li Shimin should be given an official to others, and the treatment cannot be bad, and he may not have military power, but his life must be rich, and he originally planned to do so.

Buying horse bones can also have a certain effect on conquering other countries in the future, but now the situation seems to have changed, and sure enough, the matter involving Chen Mo will become troublesome.
