Chapter 340: Calculation
"I don't know what price the Khan will have to pay for our country before we can continue to exchange?"
Qin Hao didn't say it directly, but said: "In addition to weapons this time, we also brought a large number of silk, porcelain, Western Regions carpets and general coupons, and now the general coupons in Goguryeo continue to decline, but I think they can still be used to buy some things, these are all aid from our country to your country, we hope that we can exchange some valuable things from your country, all metals, minerals, leather, you can do." ”
Then, Qin Hao talked about the established strategy, he needed to circulate the general coupons to Goguryeo, in exchange for Goguryeo's products, and then exchange the Goguryeo's products for more general coupons and armaments in the Tang Dynasty.
In principle, the queen of Silla agreed, but said worriedly: "After all, Goguryeo is ten times larger than our country, and our country is already not on good terms with Baekje, if Goguryeo is angry because of this... ”
"The queen's loyalty to the heavenly khan, this marquis should be truthfully reciprocated, if your country has a sword and soldiers, my Tang Dynasty will help with the strength of the country."
At this point, it's pretty much it.
It's just that Qin Hao said on a whim: "I have nothing in the Tang Dynasty, and ordinary things are difficult to make the Khan happy, but I am very satisfied with the two women sent by the queen the day before yesterday, if you have a woman who is willing to sell it to me, you can exchange it for a bow and crossbow." ”
The bow and crossbow is the pinnacle technology of the handicraft industry, and the Tang Dynasty bow and crossbow are unparalleled in the world, of course Silla is willing to change, but it is just abducting and selling the population of his own country, which king can do this kind of thing? What's more, this move is somewhat disrespectful to women, and it is in front of Queen Silla, so when she heard that Queen Silla was angry for a while, she had to suppress it.
"The Marquis of Qin, whether it is a man or a woman, is the people of our country, and the responsibility of the imperial court should be to protect the people from being bullied, how can they rob their own people."
Qin Hao smiled and said, "The queen misunderstood, who said it was a woman from your country?" As long as it is a woman over the age of fourteen and under the age of twenty-five, I will not pick it. ”
Hiss~
When the Queen of Silla heard this, she only felt trembling. What is the difference between this and provocation.
This is a blatant attempt to plunder the population of Goguryeo and Baekje!
"Qin Hou doesn't need to say much, this matter is really too hurtful to Tianhe, so he can't do it."
"The queen can think again, what is wrong with plundering the women of the enemy country and strengthening the military power of her country? In addition to bows and crossbows, a variety of money, porcelain, or treasures from the Western Regions can be exchanged. ”
Queen Silla had a straight face and refused strongly, "Needless to say, I have made up my mind." ”
Qin Hao smiled, it seems that he still has a bit of a brain, he knows that he doesn't want to be a knife in someone else's hand, but unfortunately, it's just a little, and the national strength is like this, even if Zhang Liang Han Xin is reborn, it may not be of much use.
"In that case, then it's all right, Your Highness the Queen, let's have a banquet."
"It's okay, Qin Hou, please."
When Qin Hao and the queen separated a little, a minister behind him sighed and said, "Your Royal Highness, just now, you should have agreed." ”
The queen was surprised: "Why did the Prime Minister say this? Then the Marquis of Qin obviously didn't have a good heart, and wanted to use this to lead our country and the two countries to further hostility. ”
"I know, but this is the purpose of their Tang Kingdom, and the same is true of trade with Goguryeo."
"Gu knows, Gu has already thought about it, after all, we are separated from Goguryeo by the Han River, we can use these things to smuggle trade with Baekje, let Baekje and Goguryeo exchange, even if Goguryeo is angry, it will be to him Baekje, if Baekje conquers us, we can ask the Tang army to help."
The old prime minister sighed and said, "But Your Majesty, in addition to the three thousand lion troops in this golden city, how many people can you manage?" After all, this trade matter will be taken over by the Han River Sailors, as long as this news spreads, do you say that the Han River Sailors will be indifferent? There are always poor and crazy, bold, how simple is it to rob a woman? Qin Hou only talked about bows and crossbows at the beginning, why did he say anything about property?
We don't even want bows and crossbows, but we are willing to exchange our belongings? He didn't say this to you, but to the Hanjiang sailors! You may be able to exercise some restraint in taking over this matter in the name of the imperial court, and if the common people and the Han River sailors go their own way, alas! The consequences are unimaginable. ”
When the Queen of Silla heard this, she stood on the spot in an instant, her face pale.
I have to say that this old prime minister still has a pair of discerning eyes, and Qin Hao's sinister intentions have been guessed by him.
It's not enough to just issue general coupons, he wants to let Silla plunder the population of Goguryeo and Baekje in large quantities, and at that time, the soldiers on the Goguryeo front line are fighting, and when they turn around, their wives are snatched away.
And those people are actually not a money-losing business, on the contrary, this should indeed be the most scarce 'resource' in the Datang trade.
The reason for this is because since Qin Hao crossed over, because of his hatred for human traffickers, he severely cracked down on human trafficking in Datang, which made all the Qinglou in Datang unable to continue for a while, and those who volunteered to be prostitutes were worth a lot of money, and the shopkeepers couldn't draw money.
On the other hand, Qin Hao did not prohibit the sale of human beings by foreign races, and even faintly encouraged them, so the traffickers of the Tang Dynasty all set their sights on foreign races, and it was okay a few years ago, whether it was the Turkic conquest or the conquest of Tuguhun, there were many women in the account, and now, these are the good babies of the Tang Dynasty, and the imperial court is not allowed to plunder their population.
Hu Nu in the Western Regions alone can't support the prosperous and prosperous Fengyue market in the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang people are proud, although Hu Nu is enchanting, she feels strange in appearance, and generally speaking, she can't sell it for a good price.
Goguryeo women are different.
First of all, this is an enemy country, and there is no moral burden on abducting and trafficking women, and secondly, they are the same as the people of the Tang Dynasty, they are all black-haired and black-eyed, and many of them can even speak fluent Tang Yin.
As long as you let go of the burden of conscience, it can be said that Datang is now coming and eating as much as you want, and it is a business that only makes money and does not lose money.
It's really cold-looking, in fact, it can also be sold to the handicraft factories in Yangzhou and Luoyang, the speed of Datang's development is too fast, and there is a shortage of people everywhere.
As the saying goes, people die for money, birds die for food, if this Queen of Silla has an undisputed status in the country like Li Shimin, the key is that he is just a woman who has just ascended the throne for less than a year.
Qin Hao pondered, should I go to the house of Pu Rennu, the general of the Hanjiang Naval Division, to talk about business, and see how pitiful the soldiers of the Hanjiang Naval Division are as thin as skin and bones, let's open a financial road for you to improve your food.
