"What I mean is that at the beginning of each month, the Great Zhou will organize merchants to go to the grasslands to trade with Warat."

"Salt, silk, tea, grain, grass, iron pots and other items that are lacking in Warat can be traded.

As for the price? Zhang Lingyang thought for a while and said, "After I go back, I will order a special official to negotiate with the leaders of the Warat tribes, and we must set a price that is satisfactory to both parties, so that Warat will not suffer a loss." ”

Seeing Zhang Lingyang say this, the leaders of the Warat tribes in the tent immediately turned their heads and ears, and their eyes were full of excitement.

At this time, Warat Khan asked again: "I wonder what His Majesty the Emperor wants from Warat?" ”

As soon as Warat Khan asked, he dispelled the enthusiasm in the hearts of the leaders of the tribes, and looked at Zhang Lingyang suspiciously.

Zhang Lingyang chuckled, took a sip of the teacup on the table, and said, "Naturally, I want to get cattle, sheep and horses from Wara, but in addition, what else is there in Wara that Da Zhou wants?" ”

"This ......" Hearing this, some doubts rose in the heart of Warat Khan.

Warat Khan had to worry that after purchasing a large number of horses from Warat, Da Zhou would organize a large cavalry army to attack Warat.

As if he had guessed what the Khan of Warat was thinking, Zhang Lingyang said: "The Khan and the leaders of the tribes can rest assured that I did not buy these horses to attack Warat.

If you don't believe me, I can make a covenant with you on the spot.

In my lifetime, as long as Wara does not provoke the Great Zhou, the Great Zhou will never use a single soldier to the grassland. ”

"His Majesty the Emperor really thinks so?" Seeing Zhang Lingyang say this, Wara Khan was not calm, and hurriedly got up and looked at Zhang Lingyang's face with his eyes, wanting to see if what Zhang Lingyang said was true or false.

"It's real!" Zhang Lingyang said with a sincere look in his eyes.

"And!" Zhang Lingyang smiled and said, "I also want to give Wara an extra grace. ”

After a pause, Zhang Lingyang continued: "I have decided to recruit a hundred sons from Wara every year to study in the Great Zhou Kingdom, and as for the specific number of places for each tribe, the leaders of each tribe can negotiate on their own. ”

Seeing Zhang Lingyang say this, the eyes of the leaders of the Warat tribes became hot.

Although, for various reasons, many Warat people look down on the weak Zhou people, but they are extremely admirable for the culture of the Great Zhou.

"And there's more!" Seeing everyone's reactions, Zhang Lingyang continued: "I have also decided to send a knowledgeable Confucian from the Hanlin Academy to the grassland to teach the children of the Warat tribes, so that they can read and write and understand things, so that they can contribute to the prosperity of Warat in the future. ”

"This ...... What a grace! "Seeing that Zhang Lingyang actually left such a great grace to Warat, whether it was Warat Khan or the leaders of the tribes, no one dared to suspect Zhang Lingyang's ulterior motives anymore.

You must know that the Hanlin Academy gathers the most knowledgeable Confucians in the Great Zhou.

Not to mention much, if the Great Zhou Emperor can send three or five Great Confucians, then Wara will definitely become richer and stronger in the future.

Not only the Great Zhou people, but even the Warat people also believe that knowledge is indispensable for a country to be strong.

If Zhang Lingyang's decision to recruit a hundred Warat Erlang into the country's subordinate prison was for the consideration of the Warat nobles, then the later decision to send the Hanlin Academy Confucianism to Warat was completely for the consideration of the Warat commoners.

In any case, both of these things are good for Varatbahn and not harmful.

At least that's what Warat Khan and the chiefs of the tribes thought.

If you say, who in the audience was unhappy after listening to Zhang Lingyang's words?

That has to be Zhang Zhiyuan, the former cabinet chief assistant.

After listening to Zhang Lingyang's words, Zhang Zhiyuan thought that Zhang Lingyang must be crazy to make such a decision.

But in front of so many people, Zhang Zhiyuan couldn't raise any objections.

Otherwise, it will make the Warats see the joke.

Therefore, it was not until the leaders of the Warat tribes left the big tent with great gratitude that Zhang Zhiyuan spoke: "Your Majesty suddenly mentioned such a decision today, I'm afraid that something is inappropriate!" ”

"What's wrong?" Zhang Lingyang smiled disapprerovingly: "In my opinion, such a decision is the most appropriate thing. ”

"Can Zhang Aiqing understand what cultural export is? What is Cultural Colonization? Zhang Lingyang asked two questions in a row.

"This ...... The old minister doesn't know!

But come to think of it, once you arm the culture of Warat, I'm afraid that there will be endless troubles! Zhang Zhiyuan persuaded, "I am an excellent person in Dazhou Biwara, which is nothing more than the word 'culture'."

And once Warat is no different from the Great Zhou in terms of culture and thought, what advantages will the Great Zhou have over Warat in the future?

Please think again, Your Majesty! ”

Ignoring Zhang Zhiyuan's hard advice, Zhang Lingyang waved his hand and asked him to retreat.

Looking at Zhang Zhiyuan's Xiao Suo's back, Zhang Lingyang couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Not only Zhang Zhiyuan, but I'm afraid that the scholars of the entire Great Zhou can't understand why I did this, right?" ”

What Zhang Lingyang thinks about is to export culture to Warat.

More strictly speaking, it is cultural colonization.

After all, on a cultural level, Warat occupies an absolute disadvantage over the Great Zhou.

It can even be said that Warat is actually uncultured.

Although they have their own language, they also have their own script.

But this culture has no mind of its own.

It's not really culture.

Because for thousands of years, the peoples of the steppe did not even have a single literary work.

In Zhang Lingyang's view, if a nation does not even have a literary work, then the culture of this nation must be terrible.

In the face of today's ideology and culture, what can Warat use to resist?

Knives and guns?

But even by force, Warat is not the opponent of Da Zhou.

Even, Zhang Lingyang believes that the Great Zhou can quickly assimilate the ideology and culture of Warat without much effort.

Every year, a hundred places are given to Warat, so as to ensure that all the noble children of Warat can be nurtured by the sages and sages.

Since a hundred places per year are enough for all the nobles in Warat, why do you still send the Great Confucian of the Hanlin Academy to the grassland?

Zhang Lingyang naturally wants to catch all the elite talents in Warat.

At least, after receiving the edification of the sages' books, they will no longer have any hostility towards the Great Zhou.

Even, in the future, once something unpleasant happens to Warat and Da Zhou, the vast majority of these Warat elites who have been cultivated by Da Zhou Hongru are very likely to stand on the side of Da Zhou.

In other words, through this cultivation method, Da Zhou can cultivate more 'tile traitors'.

In this way, after a few decades, Warat will become the real backyard of the Great Zhou.

After two or three generations of hard work, Zhang Lingyang believes that everyone will learn Chinese characters and speak Chinese.

As for Warat's own writings?

I'm afraid no one will know anymore.

No one will want to know anymore!
