In the main hall is a formal banquet, Yang Chong chose the Wei family's fishtail banquet, Fengle Lou's whole sheep banquet, Yue Wangfu's Yangzhou banquet, today's first day is the whole sheep banquet, a total of forty-eight dishes. The word sheep is rarely seen in the name of the dish, but each dish is a part of the sheep's body, the fan is the tip of the braised sheep's ears, the falling water spring is the mixed sheep's tongue, the most strange is the ice flower loose meat and lotus leaf deer ridge, one is steamed lamb lung, the other is lotus leaf mutton.

The dishes are very moderate, suitable for Hu and Han, with top wines and imperial wine provided by the Yang family and the Du family, and there are all kinds of flavors you want to drink; There was no singing and dancing, and the people who sat at the table had their own thoughts, so the hall seemed very quiet, and the conversation between Yang Chong and Ashina was heard clearly by the people in the nearby seats.

All the two discussed was buying and selling, Yang Chong and Tong Yehu joined hands to grow pepper, and now the output is getting higher and higher, and it is sold to Mobei and Jiangnan through the two firms, and the glass, soap and other materials developed by Yang Chong are continuously sent to the Western Turks in exchange for special products and materials from Zhaowu and other places, as well as iron. Ashina said very respectfully: "King Yue, our country has dedicated three sweat-and-sweat BMWs to Chang'an this time, as well as the Kangguo Golden Peach you mentioned. ”

Yang Chong smiled and said: "I've seen it, it's a yellow peach, there is nothing mysterious, but it's bigger than the yellow peach in the Central Plains, and some are like gold." I didn't want to eat, I wanted to plant in Chang'an or other places, but you didn't send the master to plant, and you didn't give me relevant information. ”

Ashina's expression stiffened, and he said with an embarrassed face: "King Yue, we don't dare, as long as we can plant in the Central Plains, the output of the Central Plains will be larger and larger in the future, whether it is pepper or garlic." Tong Yehu hopes that Chang'an can fix ten kinds of tributes for us, and we will send them every year, so as not to waste money and money. ”

Yang Shanjing and others heard the great hatred in their hearts, the Western Turks swept through the Western Regions in the past two years, and kept attacking Xue Yantuo and the Eastern Turks, expanding the land for 6,000 miles. Yang Chong put away his smile, thought about it seriously and said, "It makes sense, I will discuss it with my colleagues in the Political Affairs Hall and give you an answer within half a month." Also, you wrote to Tong Yehu that the situation in Persia was probably going to change, and since you had ties with Byzantium, you had to make preparations. ”

There have been changes in Persia, Ashina can't help but look at Yang Chong, there are rumors that the person in front of him has traveled in Persia and Byzantium, whether it is true or not. However, Yang Chong's position is high and powerful, and the Great Sui is the suzerainty of the Western Turks, Ashina Ni can't doubt Yang Chong's kindness, so he still agreed.

Yang Shanjing was a little envious of Yang Chong's attitude towards the Western Turks, if Dali City had adopted the method of unifying Ye Hu, I am afraid that it would have swept through the Central Plains long ago, compared with the Western Turks, Dali City is now poor, unlike Tong Ye Hu to deal with Xue Yantuo, both using force and using materials to decompose the Tiele tribes. When Jieli Khan was in Fertile City, he got along well with Yang Chong, but once he sat in the position of Khan, Jieli began to indulge in the overall situation of going south; As for the protection of the general leaves, the policy of uniting the Great Sui remained unchanged, and in just a few years, the situation changed immediately.

Yang Shanjing understood that this change was obviously not a problem of Jieli Khan alone, but the loss of all the magnates in Dali City, and it was because of Princess Yicheng and Li Shimin's stimulation again and again, so that the Turkic high-level thought that the Central Plains could plot, and finally the flower in the water moon mirror, under the counterattack of Chang'an, the Turkic national strength was hit hard, and now it is in a situation of being attacked on three sides.

Tianqi handed in a military information, which made the atmosphere of the banquet suddenly tense, Yang Chong frowned, turned back to Yang Shanjing and said, "Brother Shanjing, something happened to the Lightning River, can Jieli Khan write to you in advance?" He took advantage of the extermination of the Xi tribe to accuse Tuli of ignoring the survival of the Hu people in the northeast, and co-opted the tribes such as Murowei and Xibu who needed materials and living places, and jointly attacked Tuli with Yantuo and Bulishe, and even Xue Yantuo sent troops to participate in the war, and the situation on the prairie was really changing. ”

Yang Chong's words were full of infinite emotion and melancholy, and he was startled when he heard it, and he didn't get any news all the way south, indicating that all sides are only mobilizing troops now, and the big war should not have started yet. However, Yang Chong actually knew in advance, indicating that after several years of operation, the power of the Great Sui in the Northeast was growing, and the people who secretly took refuge did not know how many, so he stood up and asked: "King Yue, is the news true?" ”

Facing the eager gazes of the envoys of various countries, Yang Chong said with certainty: "There will be no mistake in the news, but you can rest assured that even if Tuli loses the Lightning River, my promise to your tooth banner is still valid." You can tell Tuli that if you are not against Jieli Khan, it is better to return to the south, and I will find a place to set up the Shunqi Governor's Mansion, with Tuli as the Grand Governor, and take charge of the Turkic and Xiabu tribes that are attached to the back. ”

Yang Chong has already set up a Heishui Governor's Mansion, and it is entirely possible to set up another Shunqi Governor's Mansion, and the association rate is overjoyed, and after leaving the table and kowtowing to thank him, he hurriedly returned to the post house to make arrangements. Yang Shanjing and others can't dissuade them, and they don't want to dissuade them, no matter what the reason is, Jieli Khan is doing this to self-destruct the Great Wall, if he kills Tuli, it's okay, if Tuli really leads his subordinates to flee to the Great Sui, it will be an endless aftermath of the Turks; The reason why the Khitan Dahe clan does not dare to go to Huangshui now is because Fubu and other tribes are in the hands of the Great Sui, and they are better off than the Dahe clan, and they don't have to fight, and their subordinates lose their morale.

Yang Shanjing pondered for a long time and said: "King Yue, I'm very sorry, I really didn't know about this matter in advance, but this is an internal matter of the Turkic Khanate, and you and I don't need to comment more." I have a thought, if we hand over all the cities to Chang'an to manage, will Chang'an accept it. ”

Yang Chong said with a smile: "Brother Shanjing said that there is no need to discuss this kind of meaningless topic. Jieli won't even tolerate Tuli, will we allow us to trade his last tax source? Brother Shanjing, after all, Yang Zhengdao's organization is a part of the Great Sui, so you don't have to worry about the Turks, why don't we join forces to set up a trading house, and doing business is better than going to fantasy, at least when the Turks lose, you won't have nothing. ”

Yang Shanjing made an inviting gesture and said, "Tell me and listen." ”

Everyone pricked up their ears, the expatriates of Zhaowu Zhucheng had not been designed, but they could not support an industry; Yang Chong motioned for Li Chunfeng to come forward, Li Chunfeng stepped forward with a smile and said: "Jiuyuan City to Yunzhong area, along the ancient Qin straight road is rich in green hemp, that is the Han Emperor Wen Emperor Wuyuan County Taishou Cui Yu to promote the plant, in order to let the local people have clothes to wear, we are in the clouds to protect the house is hemp rope, the future court will use the hemp rope will be provided by the clouds, so will be expanded near the clouds to plant green hemp." ”
