"Look at it, look at it, they all say that they only talk about Fengyue and don't talk about political affairs, my mouth is uncontrollable, it's strange, please here, I just ordered someone to make a whole charcoal-grilled whole beef, I heard that it is the most popular dish in your Tubo now, let's try it together?"

How else to say that politicians are the most shameless? Just now, he still looked like a commanding man, and immediately came to Lalu Dongzan to get up enthusiastically. Lu Dongzan's face turned pale, and he got up with a smile and followed behind Cai Cong, deliberately half a step behind Cai Cong to show respect.

His second uncle's Tubo popular fart charcoal grilled whole beef, this dish is only liked by the Tibetan boss Songtsen Gampo, every time he only eats the most tender meat on the tenderloin, and the rest is rewarded to his subordinates.

Cai Cong is beating him! I know exactly what your emperor likes, but how much do you know about Datang? Lu Dongzan asked himself, although his eyes were not dark, but his understanding of the military and politics of the Tang Dynasty these days was too superficial, and even he had nothing interest in Li Shimin until now.

"Come on, come on, try it, and see if it's your authentic roast beef in Tubo, or the authentic roast beef in my Hou Mansion."

In a courtyard, the cook roasted the calf lamb golden and tender, and a smell of aroma came from afar. Lu Dongzan shrugged his nose and looked away with difficulty and said, "I suddenly remembered that killing cattle in Datang is a big crime, right?" As the saying goes, if you follow the local customs, you will not eat this cow. ”

"Eat with confidence! This cow is a food cow, not a ploughing cow, I really want to do something to you, I don't have to bother at all. ”

Cai Cong patted Lu Dongzan's shoulder and said disdainfully, he didn't want to think about how much psychological shadow he had caused to others, and now he actually disliked people for not being generous enough.

"In the next way, I found that the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty is very good, the old are dependent on the young, and the house is not closed at night, but the spirit of the people is very full, and they are polite to passers-by who are also Han people, but when I see us outsiders, I am proud from the bones, and I am not afraid of Chang'anhou jokes, and my appearance is not as noble as a landlord in the eyes of beggars.

This is something that you can't see in Tibet, but you don't know why? If it is said that the country is strong, the people are strong, and my Tubo is not weak, and it is also strong among the countries of the Western Regions. ”

Lu Dongzan sat on the ground and cut off a piece of meat from the beef leg and asked while eating, since Cai Cong said so, then he was not worried at all. What's more, if Cai Cong's sting hurt him just now, he is also an extremely conceited person, if it wasn't for the advancement of the Tang Dynasty, how could he keep his voice down?

Cai Cong glanced at him appreciatively, sat beside him and asked lightly: "Can you people in Tubo eat three meals a day, and can you eat enough at once?" ”

Lu Dongzan's eyes burst out, how is this possible? In Tibet, the common people have to provide for the nobles, priests, and burn the food to sacrifice to the omnipresent gods, and it is already a wealthy family to eat two meals a day, and only the families above the officials can eat three meals.

Thinking of this, he shook his head bitterly, and Cai Cong asked with a smile: "Then you Tubo dare not be afraid of any strong enemy at any time, but do you have the courage to say that the offender is killed?" ”

Seeing that Lu Dongzan continued to shake his head, Cai Cong said lightly: "Some time ago, a prince who didn't know whether he was alive or dead attacked my jurisdiction, I cut off his head and sent someone to send it to him Lao Tzu. That country is called Dashi, and its national strength is on par with my Datang. ”

Cai Cong said very calmly, but Lu Dongzan's heart was full of turbulent waves, he knew the big food country! That country has millions of armored people, and it is not much weaker than Datang, is this Datang a mad dog? How can anyone dare to take a bite?

"That's why our people are so proud, because they have the most powerful country behind them."

"If I give 100,000 taels of gold in the future, is Master Hou willing to teach me the strategy of strengthening the country in Tibet?"

Lu Dongzan took a deep breath and asked, although Cai Cong repeatedly said that he would not talk about political affairs, but he couldn't help it.

"100,000 taels of gold for a strong country, you and I can get it, I am naturally willing."

"Really?"

As soon as Cai Cong's words were finished, Lu Dongzan excitedly changed from cross-legged to kneeling, looking at Cai Cong with shining eyes.

"Ben Hou doesn't care about deceiving people, I can even tell you first, you go back and send the gold."

"Please Chang'an Hou's guidance, I will definitely give 100,000 taels of gold with both hands."

Lu Dongzan said and pricked up his ears attentively, for fear of missing a word. Cai Cong yawned boredly and said: "The method is very simple, you Tubo will accept the whole country into my Tang Dynasty and become my Tang people, and you will naturally become a strong country." ”

Lu Dongzan's eyes instantly became fierce, this answer seemed to him to be a humiliation, but he didn't dare to attack, so he could only suppress his anger and question Cai Cong in a deep voice.

"There is no rudeness in asking yourself, Hou Fu Daxi is sincere in coming to congratulate him, and there is no disrespect in asking for advice with an open mind, for the sake of Hou Ye to ridicule me everywhere? Is it also wrong to admire the culture of the Celestial Empire? ”

"Don't say it so high-sounding, can't others see through it? Don't you just want to learn the advanced technology of the Tang Dynasty to enhance the national strength of Tibet? ”

Cai Cong said calmly, the Tang Dynasty really has the ability to change the world, and during the Tianbao period, Gao Xianzhi lost some craftsmen in the first war with Arabia, and these craftsmen greatly improved the Western papermaking and iron-smelting technology.

Cai Cong's words did not make Lu Dongzan feel a little embarrassed, and when the Cai family obstructed him many times, he guessed that Cai Cong knew his intentions.

He said respectfully: "What Hou Ye said is that I want to learn the Tang Dynasty's civilization, we Tubo people are so ignorant, we need to open the wisdom of the people, please Chang'an Hou Chengquan." ”

Lu Dongzan said that he bowed to the ground and gave Cai Cong a five-body salute, but Cai Cong avoided it with an ugly face. Lu Dongzan came to him for a showdown today, so he took the opportunity of congratulatory congratulations before he could come to the door, otherwise Cai Cong would have turned him away directly.

"Help you open up the wisdom of the people, and then wait for your army to rush down from the plateau and burn and loot at the border of my Datang?"

Cai Cong said disdainfully, Lu Dongzan knelt down and said very seriously: "No, if you open the people's wisdom, you know the etiquette, how can you use the sword and the sword?" ”

"You keep these words to fool those imperial historians who read and read stupidly! Cang Liao knows etiquette, and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing. When you're hungry, how can you take etiquette into account? When I'm hungry, I can grab food for a bite to eat and wild dogs, let alone you. ”

Cai Cong sneered and said, who still talks about benevolence, righteousness and morality when he is hungry? Lu Dongzan looked at Cai Cong with some despair, and Cai Cong's malicious truth let him know that hope was cut off.

"Why, why so, we just want to protect ourselves. Datang is a fierce tiger, there were many vicious wolves around to resist the tiger, but since you appeared, this Datang dragon flew into the sky, the kingdoms are just the meat of Datang's mouth, sooner or later it will be devoured clean, Chang'an Hou, you are so ruthless! ”

Lu Dongzan said desolately, staggering towards the outside. Cai Cong calmly watched him leave, this is not the Warring States Era, wars are polite and rules, how can there be stupid mercy in the world?
