"Your Majesty, are we giving too lenient conditions to the people of the Quegas?" Cen Tianshi caught up with him after the envoy left, and asked a little worriedly: "It's too much to give military protection, why did you agree to send someone to help them form a complete state mechanism?" This will allow the Tunja people to complete the establishment of the state in a very short time. Can MFN status and military command really be that important? ”

Li Xuanqing knew what Cen Tianshi was worried about, but no one in this era knew how shameless this trade most-favored-nation treatment was, and when the people of the Tang Dynasty completed the formation of the country, they found that the country was already flooded with goods from various industries in the Tang Dynasty, and because of this clause, they lost the initiative in tariffs, and in the end, their national economy could never really develop, and finally became a vassal of the Tang Empire economically, so that the wartime supreme command of the domestic army of the Tang Dynasty was also captured by the Tang Dynasty. Either he took the initiative to join the Tang Dynasty or became a supernumerary colony of the Tang Dynasty forever, and there was no room for turning over. It's just that in this era, even the Tang Dynasty, which has been broken by Li Xuanqing on the right track, no one realizes how sinister this most-favored-nation treatment in trade is, and the people of the Tang Dynasty are exchanging the future of their tribe for their support and protection at this time, which is more important and which is less important, Li Xuanqing does not need to judge at all. And when Li Xuanqing explained to Cen Tianshi the detailed meaning of this most-favored-nation trade treatment and wartime military command, the latter's mouth suddenly opened wide enough to stuff goose eggs.

"Therefore, sir, Houjiasi is our most stable commodity dumping market, even if the elite children of Houjiasi in later generations realize this, they can only take back at most half of the initiative from our Datang. Because after our Tang coins appeared on the side of the Tuns with the caravan, we had the capital to make the Yaks never turn over. As long as we don't die ourselves, no one will be able to overthrow this empire that has never been seen in the past. Li Xuanqing had a smile on the corner of his mouth when he spoke, and the envoy promised to use their reserves of gold and silver in exchange for Datang's loan to them to purchase Datang's materials, even if the final loan amount was doubled, this money would flow to the domestic market, and most of the grain and weapons purchases also made this money actually just turn around and return to the treasury, and also made a large amount of reserves in vain. The reserve knowledge of later generations allowed Li Xuanqing to take advantage of this short negotiation.

"The Cabinet and the General Staff will arrange the matters we promised to be in place as soon as possible, this is the first time, but it is definitely not the last, and the way of external expansion of Datang will also be changed as a result." Li Xuanqing said with a smile, he inadvertently seemed to have walked on the road of the superpower in the later generations, but it doesn't matter, after this huge empire has been taken down, the next step of external expansion is to occupy various transportation arteries, and more needs this way. Even Li Xuanqing's thoughts on how to directly wage war with the Great Food and Great Qin people were not as strong as they were at the beginning, because with this move, Li Xuanqing had enough methods to split these two great powers into countless small countries that vassal himself, and then sit back and watch them continue to quarrel and he would always be at the height of the Heavenly Empire, overlooking the entire world.

Li Xuanqing's words Cen Tianshi did not fully understand, but after being able to understand the most-favored-nation treatment, Cen Tianshi no longer had any opinions, so the cabinet quickly arranged a large number of materials and manpower before the end of the year, led by Foreign Minister Wang Shoutian, to rush to the northwest to start the next step of preparations. And the official document sent by the General Staff to the northwest was also delivered to Wan Yi in the shortest possible time. Wu Huan's Sixth Corps even advanced northwest from Xinghe City on the west bank of the Aral Sea before the end of October, on the one hand, to establish an outpost, on the other hand, to establish contact with the nearby Greas, and on the other hand, to send troops to protect the Gernes when necessary, to prevent the Slavs from being besieged on all sides by the Slavs during this winter.

However, after seeing the power of Datang's weapons, the Daqin people could not counter Datang's actions for a while, because after more and more Dashi troops were equipped with weapons from Datang, Daqin could not avoid entering a vicious circle of arms race. However, like the Great Cannibals, the Great Qin people also secretly began to imitate breech guns and artillery. Therefore, in Byzantium, thousands of weapons experts of all kinds began to be concentrated by the empire to find ways to disassemble these two cross-era weapons of the Tang Dynasty.

Daqin's side can't take any measures against Datang in the big aspect, but there are still a lot of careful thoughts in private, on the one hand, contacting Kyiv Russia to secretly allocate some of the gunpowder weapons obtained from his side to them, and on the other hand, he has started thinking about the issue of tribute. Originally, according to the previous promise made by the envoy of Great Qin in Chang'an, the Great Qin Society, like the Great Food, would send an envoy to Chang'an every year to pay tribute and conduct centralized trade at the same time, but when the New Year was approaching, Great Qin did not mention this matter at all. But when Li Xuanqing didn't care about this matter, the big cannibal made a decisive article, and Ayebi took all the affairs of Datang into his own hands since he stepped down from his military post and became a civilian official, and a large number of caravans shuttled between Datang and Dashi all the year round under his command, and after constantly exchanging hard currency for all kinds of commodities and weapons in Datang, he was also arranging for his family children to go to Datang to study modestly, and even after learning that Datang was very disgusted with Tianfangjiao, It was strictly ordered that the envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty and the children of studying abroad should not have any Tianfang Sect in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, otherwise they would be directly punished for treason and apostasy. Such a severe punishment also made it obvious to these envoys and students who had traveled through the two countries how seriously Baghdad took the matter of dealing with the Tang Dynasty. In fact, Ayebi's move has also made the influence of Da Shi in the Tang Dynasty gradually better, at least the people of Datang no longer worry about when they will be bewitched by the other party's cult when they trade with these big cannibals. And it is precisely this attitude that makes the Great Cannibal gradually occupy an advantage over Great Qin in trade with the Tang Dynasty. At least after trading with Datang, the Great Cannibal has shifted from the initial purchase of luxury goods to the purchase of some equipment and machines that Datang does not prohibit the export of to return to China and then develop its own characteristic industries, and also began to consciously import bicycles, a self-propelled vehicle, and then formed a silver wheel force similar to the Tiance Army, and also persuaded the Ministry of Industry and Commerce to import parts for repair, making the Great Food Army the second unit in the world to have a formed self-propelled vehicle after Datang. Although the silver wheel unit itself is only an experimental force in the Tiance Army, it is undeniable that both the equipment department and the Tiance army are improving the silver wheel troops, and the latest military bicycles are even close to the performance of mountain bikes in later generations.

Sure enough, after learning that the Great Qin people were not interested in the tribute, the Great Cannibal immediately sent an envoy to Chang'an, and publicized to the Tang Dynasty through various channels that the Great Qin people were unreliable and not worth the Tang Dynasty. Everyone knows the thoughts of the great cannibals, but in the eyes of the people, the re-prosperity of the country after hardships has made the character of the Celestial Empire in the hearts of the people that has never been dispersed, and no country is disrespectful to the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, after the propaganda of the Great Food Envoy who entered Chang'an before the end of November, the mentality of the people of the Tang Dynasty towards the people of Daqin changed suddenly, so that many goods that were originally to be shipped to Daqin even faced the situation of breaking the contract.

However, at this time, in addition to the Propaganda Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Industry and Commerce giving a simple explanation to warn the people to continue to do business, the empire will not let the people down, Datang's energy at this time is focused on the northwest side in addition to preparing the work plan for the tenth year of the Apocalypse next year, because Wan Yi and Tuoba Siji also officially mobilized the capabilities of the Northwest Military Region and the Military Region after Wang Shoutian arrived, and increased their support for Huangjiasi. At the beginning of December of the ninth year of the Apocalypse, when Wang Shoutian led the Tang delegation across the Volga River, the Emperor finally decided to declare the founding of the country on December 12 of the ninth year of the Apocalypse. And Wang Shoutian also immediately said that the Tang Dynasty was willing to recognize the Kingdom of Huangjia as soon as possible, and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty had authorized the Northwest Tiance Army to help the Kingdom of Huangjia to guard its safety when necessary. On the same day, Wang Shoutian and Jiankun signed a document called the "Treaty of Friendship and Alliance between the Tang Dynasty and the Commanders", which put all the contents of the conversation between the envoys and Li Xuanqing in Chang'an. And when Jiankun said to his subordinates that Huang Jia Si would be fully helped by the Tang Dynasty in internal affairs and military affairs, and said that he would gradually use Tang Yan Chinese characters as the common language and script of the Tang Dynasty from today, everyone was pale, and this treaty basically guaranteed that Huang Jia Si could get the greatest help from the Tang Dynasty in the shortest possible time and establish a complete and perfect national system. And when Prince Wujie walked out from behind Wang Shoutian, everyone felt the sincerity of Datang.

The founding of the country seemed to be like a warm sun in winter, which made the people of Sizhao City feel warm, and a large number of food and weapons purchased by the Huangjia mission before were also gathered on the east bank of the Volga River, and these materials were quickly transported back after Jiankun delivered his gold reserves, so that the people of Huangjia could survive this difficult winter.

"Your Majesty, the assisting officials and generals sent by the Tang Dynasty will all be in place within a month, and when the time comes, please ask His Majesty the King to give them enough trust, so that they can improve the state mechanism in the shortest possible time and establish a country with the same system as the Tang Dynasty." Wang Shoutian then found Jian Kun and his confidants and said, "At the same time, considering that you are living a difficult life here, my Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will give you two more gifts, hoping to help you." ”

"Oh, His Majesty the Emperor actually gave me a gift, which made Xiao Wang inexplicably moved." Kenkun asked Usuke to sit next to him and act as his interpreter. And Wu Jie looked at Wang Shoutian at this time with a puzzled face, in his opinion, Datang has done a good job, with the strength of the Tiance army, in fact, the so-called army command of Huang Jiasi is not worth anything in his opinion, and his life in Datang in the past few years has made him deeply understand the strength of Datang and the vigorous national strength. At least in his opinion, Datang did his best this time.

"The first gift is that Datang will sell you a part of the grain at a low price every year in the future, and the low price I said is basically equivalent to giving it away for free, but it is only necessary to sell it to the outside world." Wang Shoutian raised a finger and said with a smile: "This is also based on His Majesty the Emperor's concern for the people of Huangjiasi, I don't want to see you lack food and clothing here, suffer from illness, as the suzerain, the Tang Dynasty can't sit idly by." Wang Shoutian's words made Jiankun and the others all stand up at once, selling grain at a low price is equivalent to giving it away for free? This is tantamount to a relief in the face of the Agasians today, and nothing is more important to the nomads than food. So basically at this moment, everyone's eyes looking at Wang Shoutian were full of respect, this is a kind of affection, Jian Kun couldn't help but express his gratitude to Wang Shoutian, and Tang Yan, who directly spoke in his voice, said that when the Slavs were defeated, they must personally go to Chang'an to pay tribute, and thank His Majesty the Emperor for his care for the Slavs.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, listen to me, there's another gift." Wang Shoutian said with a smile: "The emperor told me before leaving that since all your reserves of gold and silver have been exchanged for loans, you are specially allowed to directly use Tang coins and use the currency of the Tang Dynasty to freely purchase goods and trade without charging you any fees." Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Wang Shoutian said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't underestimate this small amount of money, the issuance of paper money needs to be supported by strong national strength, otherwise, if the people do not approve of the issuance of paper money, it is equivalent to waste paper, which is basically equivalent to using the reputation of Datang as a guarantee to seek the same welfare as the people of Datang and the people of Datang." ”

"Your Majesty, what the envoy said is true, now the people of the Tang Dynasty use this kind of Tang currency when they go out, this is a kind of paper money issued by the imperial court of the Tang Empire, and you can freely buy any Datang goods." At this time, Wujie walked over and explained to everyone in a low voice, and then said, "The envoy can ask His Majesty the Emperor for me and the other people of the Emperor, can the Tang Qian Zhuang also open a branch in Sizhao City?" This will also make it easier for people like us to deposit and withdraw money smoothly. I can assure His Majesty that he will do everything in his power to keep the village safe, and that all the subjects of the Legnes will do everything in their power to support the bank. "Wu Jie has lived in Datang for so long, and he is very envious of the scene in Datang where he can go to the money bank to deposit and withdraw money anytime and anywhere, although he doesn't understand the principle, but he doesn't need to carry so much gold and silver money, and a few banknotes can solve the trade needs, which is very important for business transactions.

"I will apply to the emperor and the prime minister for this, and there must be no problem." Wang Shoutian's words made Wujie overjoyed, and he even thanked him. And then Usuke began to describe the scene he had seen in the Tang Dynasty to everyone, so that everyone intuitively felt the magic of such a thing as Tang coins. However, everyone's expressions made the corners of Wang Shoutian's mouth unconsciously appear with an indescribable smile.
