I don't know if Li Chengqian's words are too demagogic, in short, after talking about what the Tang nobles look like, a group of little old men are all full of yearning.

One of them said with some excitement: "His Royal Highness King Qin, then, is it that as long as we agree to these conditions, we will also become the nobles of the Tang Dynasty?" ”

"Yes, of course!" Li Chengqian nodded.

It is still very easy for the nobles of the Tang Dynasty to obtain, but if they want to be recognized by other nobles, it is not an easy thing, but Li Chengqian will not say it at all, and he will not say it if he is killed.

"But Your Highness, if we agree to these conditions to you, fifty years from now, ......" The old man was still a little hesitant, always feeling that something was wrong, but he didn't know what to say.

"This king can only do so much for you, you can seriously think about it for one night, if you have no intention of rebelling, these conditions are enough for you to live a rich life, not even worse than the Tang nobles."

"But if you have any other thoughts, this king will say ugly things in front, and Datang's steel knife will not curl the blade after cutting off a hundred and ten human heads." This is a threat, an undisguised threat, which is exactly what it means to prosper and perish.

The old men looked at each other, and they were angry but were afraid of the black-armored guards standing behind Li Chengqian, but they didn't get angry and felt aggrieved, and finally discussed it in a low voice, and decided to go back at night to study it carefully.

……

After Li Chengqian left the tent of the nine surnames, he returned to his own camp, and at this time the four thousand 'fangs' had already set up the camp, and the defenses were also arranged around it.

"Your Highness, why do you bother to talk so much to these old fellows? And give them so many benefits? What if they don't appreciate it? Dong Jiansen didn't understand what Li Chengqian meant, and asked in wonder after returning to the camp.

"Because they are nine surnames, and they are nine tribes." Li Chengqian casually whipped the withered grass on the ground with a horsewhip: "Nine tribes must not be as united as one tribe, so it is easier to control." ”

"So as long as you put the benefits there, even if you are not very tempted, he will be moved when he sees someone else take it, so that we don't have to spend much effort to subdue them."

The way of checks and balances, this is something that Li Chengqian studied when he was bored on the grassland during this time, and it is also something he never thought about before.

The old man once mentioned it to him, but at that time he was thinking about some other things, and did not pay attention to this aspect, and after hearing it, he forgot about it, and when he was really bored on the grassland, he turned out the previous things and thought about them, and found something to do for himself.

Tiele Nine is a test object for him to experiment with his own ideas, put the benefits out, let the nine surnamed tribes choose for themselves, and use people's blind obedience and comparative psychology to achieve their own goals.

First of all, assuming that his plan can succeed, then the Nine Clans will definitely make a great leap forward with the support of Datang, then Datang needs to guard against their backlash.

If it is a tribe, such as Xue Yantuo at the moment, the consequences of the rebellion are very serious, after all, he belongs to the dominant family on the grassland, and after the rebellion, the other small tribes are powerless to resist at all, so they can only rebel with him.

But what if it's nine tribes? Although it is said that the nine surnames are one, who can guarantee that they are not selfish? Just like the five surnames and seven wangs in the Central Plains, although it is said that they are in the same breath, no one will die with anyone, if there is an opportunity for development, they naturally want their family to get the best.

The same is true of the nine surnames, and when the salt and iron business gets among the nine surnames, Li Chengqian will inevitably let some tribes have more and some tribes have less, so that they will secretly divide them and make them have some dissatisfaction from within.

Those who have benefited think that they deserve it, and those who do not think that it is because the other tribes do not keep their alliance, and the unity is broken.

The next step is the promulgation of some policies, and those who get the benefits will inevitably want to get more, and supporting the new policies has become a way for them to have no choice, and some other tribes will only be left behind by the first tribe if they don't choose to support, so they will also rush to support.

In this way, it will be much easier to control the nine surnames, so that they can have a heart of comparison from the inside, be suspicious of each other, guard against each other, and check and balance each other.

Dong Jiansen hadn't read many books, and if Li Chengqian didn't explain this kind of thing to him a little bit, he wouldn't have understood, so after listening to Li Chengqian's words, people became even more confused, and they wanted to ask again but found that they didn't even know what to ask.

"Don't think about it, you can't figure it out!" Li Chengqian looked at Dong Jiansen's blushing face and thick neck, and patted him on the shoulder: "Let the sentry out for a while, there must be light and dark, in addition, the soldiers do not remove their armor, the horses do not remove the saddle, be careful." ”

"Yes, I'll do it." Dong Jiansen scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

……

On this side, Li Chengqian and they were careful not to say anything, and on the other side, the five old men gathered together and began to discuss what Li Chengqian said.

And things are just as Li Chengqian thought, the more people there are, the more opinions there will be, a few old men together, some people think that Li Chengqian's conditions are not very good, and agreeing to it is very detrimental to future development.

After the road is repaired, the Tang Dynasty is likely to garrison troops on the grassland, and if so, it is obviously impossible for them to live the same life as before.

The other thing is that the herdsmen go to Datang to work, this kind of thing sounds good, but fools know that after seeing the customs of Datang, who will return to the grassland? When the time comes, isn't it that the more you go, the more you leave, and how many people will be left in the tribe at the end?

As for talking about fifty years of autonomy, it's a bit far away, and the old men can't see that day anymore, so they don't want to think about it.

So in the end, the only thing they can really get is the second one, the salt and iron business.

Worth it or not? The old men have their own opinions, but there is one thing they have not forgotten, that is, they still have 4,000 'fangs' around them, and if they do not agree to Li Chengqian's conditions, no one knows whether there will be any terrible consequences.

There were two old men who thought that Li Chengqian would not come like this, because since he came to dilute the conditions, it showed that the nine surnamed tribes were still useful.

The other three old men believed that the reason why Li Chengqian did this was just to get more things from the grassland, and if he couldn't get it, he would inevitably go on a killing spree.
