Chapter 103 Four Heroes

Abicheril was overjoyed to hear of the return of Themon and Hesa, and the bad start of the year seemed to show signs of transit. The pen www.biquge.info personally killed the enemy general Lu Qinghan and annihilated 5,000 cavalry, victory is the best way to boost morale, especially in the past few years, it has become more and more difficult to disturb the borders of the Silk Country, and now that it has suffered defeats again and again, there is nothing more than victory to stabilize Abicheril's rule. Abicilir has always been committed to reforming the status quo of Tukhi, but in order to implement reform, the first thing that is needed is the obedience of the ministries to him, and a Great Khan who cannot lead his subordinates to victory will not have the appeal. Since Timon has returned, then he must have had his own ideas about the reform of Tukhi, and seeing that his long-cherished wish finally has hope, how can Abichilir not be happy?

Yu Gong is like this, if it is about individuals, then the long-lost son Hesa finally comes back, which makes Abicheril, as a father, happy. Although Hesa did not know his identity, and Abicialir only learned of it after he left Tuchi, Abicheril was full of anticipation for his son. First of all, Hesa was his eldest son, and at the same time he was very satisfactory in terms of martial prowess. As the Great Khan, Abicil certainly had a large number of wives and concubines and many children, but unfortunately these were only after he became Khan, and none of these sons had grown up to be able to ride horses and shoot arrows and go into battle to kill the enemy.

In order to catch the wind for these two warriors, Abicheril held a feast and invited many generals and tribal leaders near Dragon City, and everyone gathered together.

When the wine was hot, Abiciel staggered to Timon, touched the milk wine on his beard, and said with a smile: "Timon, tell me quickly, how have you achieved in the land of silk?" ”

Teemon looked around and said, "Great Khan, this matter is confidential, does the Great Khan really want me to say it here?" ”

Abicilir waved his hand: "All the people sitting here are my confidants, beloved generals and leaders, what can I hide?" You can say you might as well. ”

Teemon hesitated for a moment before saying, "I have been in the Silk Country for more than half a year this time, and I have a new understanding of all aspects of the Silk Country. The wealth and prosperity of the Silk Country is indeed beyond my imagination, its population is prosperous, the perfection of the road system is breathtaking, and the political and economic system of the Silk Country is also a combination of ancient and modern, in my opinion, this Liu Yan has governed the country very well, and its strength is especially better than when his father was in power. ”

Abicialir was stunned for a moment, and said, "You just said that you learned something from the Silk Country. ”

Teemon stood up and saluted, "Great Khan, can you allow me to be blunt?" ”

"How did you learn from the people of the Silk Country to learn from your mother-in-law? Just say it! Abicil said.

"Yes, Great Khan. In my opinion, we need to take several steps to become stronger, and the Western Regions are the key to this. The Western Regions are connected to the east-west trade routes, which is the greatest wealth of my Tuqi, and there are many city-states in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains in the Western Regions, all of which are built according to the river, and both sides of the river are arable fields, but the population there is too small, and there are no decent water conservancy projects, so the development of the land is very limited. If we can use it as a base, we can build water conservancy projects to reclaim a large amount of land, making it a granary for our tuqiao. With this food, more people can be attracted to settle here, thus making the Western Regions more prosperous. ”

Abiciel smiled and said, "Go on." ”

"With a sufficient population base, then a new political system can be implemented in the Western Regions. Comparing the pros and cons of the Silk Country's governance of the country, we can implement it in the Western Regions. The customs of the people there are different from those of my Tuqi, they have nomadic traditions, and they also have agricultural traditions, and they are more accepting of the political system of the Silk Country. If the implementation of the situation goes smoothly and its unique geographical conditions are combined, the development of commerce and trade is inevitable, and the economy of the Western Regions will also make a qualitative leap. In this way, the Western Regions will not only be my granary, but also a treasury. Once commerce and trade prosper, then the handicraft industry and manufacturing industry will also develop by leaps and bounds, and these skilled workers will become important human resources to strengthen our cooperation. ”

Abicheril listened to these words and shook his head to relieve himself. He had already heard some clues from Temon's words: "Temon, when you say this, do you mean to restore trade with the Silk Country?" ”

Timon immediately replied, "Exactly, Great Khan. As it stands, the small states of the Western Regions can pay very little in taxes. The reason for this is that after the war between us and the country of silk, the two sides no longer traded. There are still merchants who take the risk of smuggling goods, but the amount is not comparable to what was before. As a result, the smugglers had a lot of money to live on and raised prices, but we couldn't afford to tax them heavily, otherwise they wouldn't want to risk doing business here. As a result, our taxes have shrunk, and we have left these desperate smugglers alone. This result is really not good for me at all. Rather than this, it is better to think of resuming trade with the country of silk and reopening the east-west trade route, then the profiteers will not be able to afford it, prices will be stable, and our country's taxes can also be greatly increased. ”

Abicheril frowned and said, "You're putting the cart before the horse!" Our country has been cut off from trade due to the war with the Silk Country, how can it be restored? ”

"It's not difficult, just make peace with the country of silk."

"Nonsense!" Abicheril said angrily: "The Silk Kingdom has fought with us for so many years, and we have not won or lost so far, how can we make peace?" ”

Themon hurriedly said: "Great Khan, please think about it, why did we go to war with the Silk Country in the first place? It is nothing more than because of Anbalturi's murder of the first Khan, the Great Khan, you avenge the first khan and fight against Anbalturi, the country of silk is greedy for small profits, colluding with Anbalturi entrenched in the Western Regions, and the allied Goryeo was invaded by the country of silk, which makes us have to go to war with it. Now that Goryeo has perished, and Anbalturi has been subjugated, why should we fight to the death against the Silk Country? If the conflict can be turned into a jade silk, the two families will be reconciled, and the trade route will be opened again, won't both families be able to profit, then how can the country of silk not agree? ”

Abicheril became more and more angry when he heard this: "I asked you to go to the Silk Country so that you can find a strategy on how to surpass the Silk Country, but you said that you want to profit with it, are you drinking and being confused?" ”

"Great Khan, this is exactly the way I came up to transcend the Silk Country. The Great Khan, please think, if the two can make a profit, they can not use the sword, thinking that I can break through the current national strength, if I can implement my strategy, will not the increase in his national strength increase exponentially? And the country of silk has developed to this point, how easy is it to go further? Moreover, at present, when the country of silk is strong, it is really unpredictable to defeat or defeat it. If in time, when the monarch changes and the lord is dark, the national strength will inevitably decline, and it will be difficult to take care of its internal worries at that time. ”

Abicheril couldn't help but tremble when he heard this, and said in a loud voice: "Shut up, stop talk! (To be continued.) )
