Chapter 1487: Subduing the Nine Surnames of Tiele (Part I)
"Your Highness, please!" The old men put their positions very right, and they showed a sign of admitting punishment and admitting punishment.
"I'll give it to you first." Li Chengqian sat there without sorrow or joy, and the carefully designed hideous battle armor exuded a majesty.
"First, this king can promise you to build the road to the grassland and completely connect all your nine surnames."
"Second, open the salt and iron business to you."
"Third, if the herdsmen with the nine surnames want to work, with the certificate issued by you, they can go to Datang to enjoy the same treatment as the people of Datang."
"Fourth, for fifty years, the existing territories of the nine surnames will remain unchanged, and each clan will enjoy autonomy in its own territory."
As his fingers bent down, Li Chengqian slowly said four conditions that he could agree to Tiele Jiu at the moment.
Several old men looked at each other to make eye contact, and after a while, the little old man who greeted Li Chengqian at the beginning coughed and said: "His Royal Highness King Qin, it's not that the foreign minister doesn't know how to lift, it's just that the foreign minister doesn't know some things, can His Royal Highness ...... it?"
The old man's meaning was very clear, that is, he wanted Li Chengqian to explain to them what benefits they could get from these four rules.
"You sit down first, it's not comfortable for the king to look at standing there." Li Chengqian didn't answer directly, but went around in a circle and asked a few old men to sit down first.
After all, he came here to discuss things, not to pretend to be a calf, if he kept letting a few old men stand, not to mention what the mood of the people was, first of all, it would appear that he Li Chengqian was not sincere, and this would lose the basis for continuing to talk.
A few old men thanked them first, and then each found a place to sit down, and ordered someone to get some tea, although it is not the top in the Tang Dynasty, but it looks quite classy, it can be seen that this Tiele Jiu surname is not really a poor country, and the old men are also very good at enjoying it.
Li Chengqian and the other old men sat down, and after they all relaxed, they all said slowly: "Datang will not let go of any enemy who dares to provoke, nor will it treat any of its own subjects badly. ”
In a simple sentence, the identity of Tiele Jiu was killed - a subject of the Tang Dynasty.
Then, without waiting for a few old men to refute and said: "Mobei is bitter and cold, life is not easy, this king's father and emperor will often mention you, and they will also express concern for the herdsmen in Mobei, but the distance is far away, even if you want to reach out to help, you are powerless." ”
"However, Datang has not given up on the people with the surname of Jiu, so we have to build a road, build a road to Datang here, and when the road is opened, it will be accessible from here to Dingxiang."
Yes, it is possible to reach Dingxiang here, and Dingxiang is also accessible here, and if you want to send troops...... The old men looked very ugly, but they didn't say anything.
Because they are still vassals of the Tang Dynasty, logically speaking, all the land here belongs to the Tang Dynasty, and these old men are just custodians, if they dare to raise the issue of mentioning the domain with Li Chengqian, they will undoubtedly make trouble for themselves.
Li Chengqian is also very aware of this, but in this ancient time where a big fist is a truth, even if the nine surnames are dissatisfied, they can only endure it.
"As for the second point, I don't think I need to explain it, right? You also know what the opening of the salt and iron business means, and even this king can promise you that this business will only be in your hands, and there will be no tenth family in this land. ”
This is the real benefit given by Li Chengqian, or the real benefit to the patriarch of the nine surnames, after all, salt and iron were important materials in ancient times, and the grassland was even more scarce, if you can master these two businesses, it will be an opportunity for anyone to make a fortune.
For a few old men, the salt and iron business is not only a matter of money, but also a matter of face, after all, being able to master this kind of business represents the recognition of them by the Tang Dynasty, and also represents that they have enough ability to get benefits from the Tang Dynasty, which is of great benefit to their ruling tribe.
So when the old men heard the second one, they all smiled and nodded in gratitude.
"Regarding the third article, the herdsmen enter the Tang Dynasty to work ......" Li Chengqian curled his fingers, thought about it silently and said: "You are too poor here, even if I open the salt and iron business to you, those herdsmen can't afford it, so you must let them have money, only when the herdsmen are rich, you can have money, otherwise they are poor and only wool is left, and what you can only collect in the end is wool, right?" ”
"Yes, yes, yes." A few old men didn't think there was anything wrong with what Li Chengqian said.
The reason why Datang is strong is not because the people are rich, of course, for modern times, the people of Datang are still very poor, but for the herdsmen on the grassland at that time, it was quite rich.
And it is precisely because the people of Datang are rich that Datang will be strong, there is no doubt about it, at least for a few old men.
"As for the fourth ...... Hehe! Speaking of the last one, Li Chengqian smiled for the first time, but there was irony in this smile.
"Your Highness, please speak!" The old men didn't know what Li Chengqian meant, so they couldn't help but put away the smiles on their faces.
"Speaking of which, you may think that the fourth point that this king said is a bit harsh, and you may think that this king wants to take advantage of you, and you feel a little uncomfortable that after fifty years, this place will fully accept all the policies of Datang, right?" Li Chengqian looked at a few old men and said.
"This ......," the old men did not speak, but there was a 'Isn't it' expression' on their faces.
"What do you have here? What else is there besides grass? What do you think the king will covet from you? Li Chengqian asked.
The old men stopped talking, they really couldn't think of what the Tang Dynasty wanted them to do, in their opinion, there was really nothing on the grassland.
But even so, no matter how poor the grassland is, their family is also the top existence among the nine surnames, that is to say, it is equivalent to the Earth Emperor.
Here they can dominate other people's lives, and they can take and demand from the herdsmen under their rule, but if the Tang Dynasty rules here, they will lose this right, which is why they feel that there is a problem with the fourth condition.
But this kind of thing can't be put on the table, so a few old men seem a little hesitant.
Li Chengqian knew this very well, but he believed that he could convince these old men, after all, no matter how awesome the Emperor Tu was, eating mutton that made people vomit every day was also a painful experience.
And if you become a nobleman of the Tang Dynasty, it is different, if you become a nobleman of the Tang Dynasty, you can enjoy the top tea, the top silk, the top maid, the top guard, and you can enjoy the envy of countless people.
