Chapter 245: Offering Medicine
"Hahaha......" Wu Lu laughed and trembled, laughing at Li Wei's self-deception, if you want to gossip, you have already said it, how can it be that you have been in contact with Chang'an City several times, and in the army for two months, the two of them don't know how many times they have been in contact.
You can't degrade the Wulu clan to nothing, although it is laughing, it is ridiculous and charming, and the two steamed buns are shaking with laughter. Not only does it not give people the feeling of giggling, on the contrary, it is tempting, and it is tempting to make people reach out and grab a handful on the two of them.
is just laughing, but Li Wei understands, and his heart is empty. The body is not afraid of the shadow, for the sake of the country and the imperial power, a woman is not afraid, what are you afraid of?
But after laughing, Wu Lu's face suddenly sank, and he asked, "I'm afraid your emperor won't agree to the peace alliance?" ”
Reacted immediately.
Li Wei sighed and said, "Lone won't lie to you, probably not." In fact, it is recognized in the heart of loneliness, but you have been in the capital for so many days, you should know the rights of loneliness. It's not something you can do. Or you wait a little longer and see if things turn around. ”
"I've been waiting for a few months and a half, do you think things have turned around?"
“……”
"For so many days, I have seen many places in your Tang Dynasty, the wealth of the people in the city, the beauty of silk, the abundance of food, and the harvest of crops in the suburbs, which we do not have in Tibet. Your Han family has the richest place in the world, why don't you let go of the bitter cold land on the plateau? ”
"Wrong," Li Wei was upright at the mention of this, and said: "Your Tubo is not a bitter cold land, but it has not been cultivated. The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty was cultivated by the people bit by bit over thousands of years, and it turned out to be the same swamp, and the rivers were flooded, and then weeds were filled in the pits and water conservancy was built. For today, hundreds of people have worked hard and even died. In fact, the world is so big, like the Central Plains, I don't know how many, but there is a country that has the civilization of our Han family. The year before Gu, he secretly sent an envoy to the West, and once he returned, he would be able to bring more news. In fact, it is not only the Central Plains, like Tianzhu, or Dashi, and further west, there are countless fertile fields for thousands of miles. Therefore, wealth is earned by the efforts of our Han family. You Tibetans can't see that we are rich, so you come to rob us with a lot of words. This is not an excuse, and it is even untenable to usurp your Zampu status in the future. ”
Speaking of this, he remembered Hu Ying, he has been gone for so long, and this person has not come back yet, but he doesn't know where he has been, dead or alive?
……
Hu Ying's line of work, although it is not easy, is not as difficult as Li Wei thought.
First of all, it is related to the Huns, the Han Dynasty was strong, some of the Huns surrendered and surrendered, some of the Huns did not surrender, a few entered Tianzhu, and most of them entered Europe. But this group of Han Dynasty defeated generals in Europe was very bullish, once forced the Romans to compromise again and again, in the hands of Attila the Great, the Huns territory east to the Aral Sea, west to the Atlantic coast, south from the Danube, north to the Baltic Sea. It was also because of the invasion of the Huns that the Roman Empire was divided. Later Europeans called Attila the whip of God. It wasn't until after Attila's death that the empire collapsed because the sons fought among themselves for power, and the Europeans took the opportunity to fight back. But the descendants of these Xiongnu still live in the steppes of Russia.
Hu Ying arrived at the Great Eclipse from the territory of the Persians, and from the Great Eclipse into Byzantium, that is, the Eastern Roman Empire. Of course, he pretended to be the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, so far, it is not clear, just like the envoys of various countries in the Tang Dynasty, whether they are envoys or merchants, even if Li Wei asks, he may not be able to find out whether it is true or false.
But we all know that there is a strong civilization in the far east, and when I heard that the Byzantine king was still well entertained when visiting the countries of Europe. Then he made a guide, did not introduce the Frankish kingdom, but introduced Hu Ying to the Khazar Khanate, which had a somewhat complicated ethnic composition. There were the Uighurs who migrated westward, the local indigenous people (Chechens), and the tribes north of the Black Sea and near the Sea of Azov, the Goths, the Slavs, but the main component was the Akazirs, who were the descendants of the Huns who migrated westward and were once important allies of Attila. At one time, it had some relations with the Western Turks, and it didn't take long to start. In other words, it may not have much to do with the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty, but it has a strong relationship with some nomads in the north of the Tang Dynasty.
The Huns have no written records, but some of them have passed on the teachings and know some about their ancestors. Of course, the current Khazar Khanate already has some highly developed civilizations, and the system also bears some Chinese imprints, such as the Khan and Burke actually had more than 80 wives and concubines and eunuchs on an island in the Volga River.
It was also a powerful state, with many vassal states, and like the Western Turks, the vassal kings or chieftains were the Lifa, the Pechenegs, the Oghuns, the Crimean Goths, the Crimean Huns, the Magyars, the Georgians, the Armenians, the Alans, the North Caucasus Huns, the Lezkins, the Avars, the Circassians, and the Azari. Many tribes such as the Eastern Slavs, the Burtas, the Bulgars, the Moldovans, the Tielebas, and many others submitted to them.
I heard that it was an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, and I welcomed it very much. Not only that, Hu Ying himself is a Hu person, with a sense of the same roots, and does not exclude. There is another one, that is, the blood of the Tang royal family, which has a strong Xianbei bloodline, which is also recognized by the Khazar's Tarakhan (Khan). In addition, this country is a nomadic life, as well as business, and looting, and even some merchants once arrived in the Tang Dynasty, but no one paid attention. Came back with some news.
The reason why the Byzantines were introduced to Hu Ying was that the Khazar Khanate was the most friendly with Byzantium, and had borrowed troops to help Byzantium defeat the Persians, and even resisted the invasion of Great Food for Byzantium.
Staying for a while in the Khazar Khanate, continuing westward, was the territory of the Avars. This ethnic group has close ties with the Central Plains.
In 552 A.D., Ashina's proposal to marry Rouran Anapu Khan was rejected, and the Western Wei regime immediately married the princess to Tumen, instigating Tumen to rebel against Rouran, so Tumen united with Gaoche to defeat Rouran, and the Khan committed suicide. Rouran was divided into two, East Rouran defected to the Turks, and West Rouran defected to the Western Wei, but under the coercion of the Turkic envoys, the leader of Rouran and more than 3,000 people under his command were handed over to the Turkic envoys, and they were killed outside Chang'an City. The remnants were forced to move west, and a hundred years later, they crossed the Volga River and came to Europe.
However, the Alva people were not all Rouran, and also mixed the Vaal and Kunni tribes, which were the descendants of the Veda Huns defeated by the Turks. Because there is no written record, it can only be passed down from generation to generation, and the evidence is insufficient. However, after Hu Ying arrived here, there were still a few elders who could still speak jerky Chinese, which also explained the connection between their bloodlines. Upon arrival in Europe, he immediately defeated the Kutliger and Utgar Huns (the two descendants of the Huns who retreated eastward after Attila's death), followed by the Slovenes, the Antes (the ancestors of the Eastern Slavs and Ukrainians), and the Wende (the source of the Serbs). The elimination of another Germanic Gothic tribe in Hungary and Transylvania (Romania), the Gibedaís, the Avars occupied Hungary and the mouth of the Danube, and the Western Turkic Khanate saw the success of its defeated generals and turned its enemies over the alliance between the Eastern Roman Empire and the Alvas. Then the Alvars fought a war with the Germanic Franks, defeated the Frankish Merovingian king Hilperik, and spread their influence to Austria. Once again, he turned from a friend to an enemy with Byzantium, and the leader of Alva, Bayan Khan, and his son almost broke through Constantinople, the capital of the world.
At a terrible cost, Byzantium defeated the Alva attack. The Alvars also paid a heavy price, as they were forced to make the southern Bulgars monarchs of Bulgaria because of their national strength, and the northern Slavs occupied the territory between the Danube and Sava rivers and remained on the Hungarian plain themselves. In short, the beginning is over. When the khan heard that the distant and powerful Tang Dynasty had sent an envoy, he was warmly welcomed.
At least until now, Hu Ying has not suffered much, but more than two years have passed.
Now Hu Yingzheng and his men began to set off towards the Frankish Kingdom. A very chaotic country, Hu Ying also planned to return to the Tang Dynasty after arriving in Paris. In general, this time Hu Ying's itinerary was no less than Tang Sanzang's epic trip around Tianzhu countries. Of course, Li Wei wants to see Hu Ying, and it will take a long time.
……
Upstairs in the drunken wind, in a private room, Wu Lu looked at the young man in front of him.
The young man is exaggerated, he is definitely not middle-aged, and Ming Chongyan's appearance is really good, at least in terms of "hue", he is more eye-catching than Li Wei. With a sarcastic smile, she asked, "Are you the Ming Chongyan who treats the ugly turtle as a divine turtle?" ”
Ming Chongyan is not Xu Jingzong, even Liu Renliang will back down a few points, who will be afraid of him in Ming Chongyan? The news of auspiciousness spread quickly.
Then I found the Tibetan envoy, but I didn't dare to look for it, handed over a post, and made an appointment to meet in Zuifeng Lou two days later. The official position is not high, because of all the things with the prince, he is very famous. This time, the main envoy is Tu Hun Mi, and the actual master is still Wu Lu's family.
Tuhun Mi immediately reported to the Wulu clan, and what he originally wanted to refuse was mainly Ming Chongyan's position. There is no Lu family and no Lu family's pride, and Li Wei, that is helpless, he is the prince of the Tang Dynasty. But what kind of person is Ming Chongyan? But thinking of the Tang Dynasty's "ignorance", he finally agreed to come down and see what this bold Ming Chongyan would say?
Ming Chongyan was not angry, he pointed to the new skirt on the Wulu family, which was made by the Wulu family in Chang'an, and came to Chang'an, which made her very happy. Since childhood, I like the culture of the Han family at home, otherwise I wouldn't know so many Chinese characters, if it weren't for the country, she would have entered the Grand View Garden in Chang'an like Grandma Liu, almost reluctantly, and didn't want to go back. I also ordered a lot of clothes from the Tang Dynasty, with some jewelry, and some exquisite utensils. This plain flower lady dress is made of Caizhou's famous Yunhua Aya, not only the pattern is exquisite, but also a piece of Taiyuan flower felt made into a shawl.
People are three-point appearance, seven-point clothes, this wear, no Lu is more bright and moving, noble atmosphere.
Like Li Wei, it is not that he is greedy for the beauty of the Wulu family, Ming Chongyan asked: "The skirt on your body, Ming did not guess wrong, it is Caizhou Yunhua Aya, and the market price per foot is about seventy wen now." But Princess, do you know how much per foot was in previous years? ”
Wulu shook his head.
"In the past few years, ordinary silk cloth was sixty or seventy wen per foot, but this cloud flower silk was at least 100 wen per foot."
Aya cloth is the best of all silk fabrics, and it is also very expensive. You must know that the price of grain in these years is not counted this year, and the average grain per bucket is only a dozen Wen, that is, one foot of silk cloth can buy five or six buckets of grain. Of course, the common people don't want to be able to afford to wear it, and only wear coarse linen, kudzu cloth or small water cloth. It is this kind of cloth, and each foot is also six to ten wen. Therefore, some people are reluctant to throw away their clothes for decades after wearing them for decades, and they are full of pudding. In winter, when there is a great cold, many people in the north will freeze to death. Even after cotton is popularized, there are still people who will freeze to death. But there is a quilt and a cotton cloth are different.
Although Wu Lu was smart, he was a little younger and didn't understand much, so he asked, "So what?" ”
"Because of cotton, the cloth will be cheaper in the future, and there will be many people in the Tang Dynasty who will be able to wear warm clothes."
"You mean ......?"
Ming Chongyan interrupted her words and continued to ask: "In the past few years, the country has been in a bad year, especially the great drought the year before last, and many people starved to death. The price of grain once rose to 80 wen per bucket. In order to help the people, the granaries of Chang'an and Luoyang were almost empty. But what is the price of grain in Chang'an now? ”
Wulu shook his head.
"The autumn harvest has begun, and because of the bumper harvest, the price of corn this year is only four wen per bucket. This is still the order of the imperial court to use the two barns in Luoyang and Chang'an to accommodate the dispatch, otherwise it will be even cheaper. Why did you recover so quickly in just two years? ”
Wu Lu knew what he wanted to say, and said, "But cotton has nothing to do with the prince. ”
"Really, so-and-so told a secret that the so-called cotton was the crown prince's credit to his mother."
"How so?"
"No, it won't. The prince is getting older, and his majesty is not in good health, so he has always been a little jealous of the prince. Therefore, the crown prince not only used cotton to please the queen, but also offered movable type printing to His Majesty. Speaking of this, Ming Chongyan gritted his teeth.
Not to mention that his rights are too low now, and he is not in the capital, he is in the capital, and it is not easy to be separated.
"I've heard some of them, these are what you Prince Tang heard in the streets."
"Heard? Are you serious? I will not hide it from you, but when I heard this, I sent many people to the market to listen to it, and sent people to inquire about the foreign envoys, but I heard nothing. This is what I have the heart to inquire, could it be that the prince met the immortals? ”
"You mean ......?"
"I don't know, and I don't jump to conclusions. I just want to say that when the prince grows up, he will be your number one enemy in Tibet. And he is different, he is full of books of rites in name, but in fact he is eager for quick success and quick profit, and he will do whatever it takes to succeed. Poetry and books gave him knowledge, but not broad, if he ascended the throne in the future, the current emperor will be far behind. ”
"But you ......"
"Princess, don't underestimate others, Your Majesty needs me to treat him, and there will be a chance. I came to you today, just to be a friend of your Tibet, and I don't want you to ask for anything in Tibet. If it can be successful, it will be of some help to you in Tibet, and maybe it will be of great use. If it doesn't work, you Tubo won't have anything to lose, so why not? ”
It is true that the Manchu Dynasty civil and military despised him. His lintel is too low and isolated, otherwise with his talent, he would have called for wind and rain in the court. For example, at this meeting, when I saw the Wulu clan, I didn't mention secretly taking refuge in Tibet, but started from the price of cloth and grain, and immediately received miraculous results.
Wu Lu just groaned.
Ming Chongyan said: "I am about to return to Shenzhou, the princess thinks twice." If you want, send someone to Shenzhou and contact me. If you don't agree, that's it. But I'll send you something first. ”
He took out a small bottle from his bosom, and inside was a pill.
Wu Lu asked, "What is this?" ”
"I heard that Zampu had no children, so I made this medicine. When you use it, it is enough to take one grain and melt it with water, which can immediately make people aphrodisiac. Or for you, for you Zampu. ”
This is the elixir of spring love that he has concocted, but he is wrong in this matter. Mangsong Mangzan is not unable to have sex, so far he has no children, maybe it is caused by lack of sperm, or it is caused by spermlessness. Besides, this thing is not expensive, there is more sex, *** is thin, but it reduces the chance of pregnancy.
Of course, according to the current statement, doing more is stronger than less, which is also a "good intention".
There was no reason for Lu Shi's face to blush.
Ming Chongyan said again: "The capital is tight, so I don't dare to stay here for a long time, so I took my leave." ”
There is no Lu clan without a word, and it is impossible to be polite with Ming Chong. But looking at these medicines in his hands, he was thinking about his thoughts. She knew about Zampu, and this medicine didn't help her and Zampu much. I just suddenly thought of someone. Wu Lu himself is also very proud, at least among the girls of the same age in Tubo, almost no one can match him in wisdom. And then add another person...... What will the child look like?
