The anger between Xu Jiangpu and Abe's long eyes seemed to be burning in substance, and Lu Dongzan and Gai Suwen glanced at each other meaningfully, as the rulers of the two most powerful countries in the Tang Dynasty's neighbors, their vision is naturally higher than that of others, not to mention how powerful a big ship like a giant is, Li Shimin provoked two countries with interests and disputes in a casual manner, and this power scheme is also extremely clever.

Yanglin has long known that Li Shimin has the potential to be an actor, he just pointed out the way a little, the specific plan was of course formulated by Li Shimin, if the water steamer will cause the two countries to warn each other, it is true, but if you want the two countries to go to war completely, I am afraid it is still a little difficult, Li Shimin does not need to plan, once it is used, of course it will make them want to stop, Dou Yingshan of Nanyi State took the opportunity to understand the military strength of the Tang Dynasty, and was the first person to make a statement, it is expected that Li Shimin is not easy to refuse, and will take advantage of the situation to give them some benefits to attract other countries to establish diplomatic relations, his plan was successful, and the Wa Kingdom wanted to get involved with Datang without face and skin, and strive for the possibility of second in maritime strength, there is no doubt that Datang is the first, and they can only fight for second.

"In addition, I Datang also plans to build Chang'an Academy in Chang'an City, start construction after the year, and initially complete the opening of the academy within a year to accept apprentices, the academy is taught, all are the way of my Datang Zhongxing, such as craftsman skills, arithmetic and business, smelting and manufacturing technology, all kinds of disciplines, and even the most important science and technology have professors, the dean is personally assumed by me, and the chief professor is served by Mr. Gu Yue Daowen, who will be a master craftsman, of course, I am just a dean. However, Mr. Gu Yue Daowen's ability, I am afraid that the ambassadors should have heard of it during these days in Chang'an, and they can get him to pass on his skills. Naturally, it is not a simple matter, I intend to accept some foreign students on the opening day of the academy, in order to promote the name of the Tang Dynasty and all-inclusive, but the foreign students should pay a lot of fees during their studies, and you must bear them if you want to learn. Of course, after graduation, the talents and skills you have learned can also be brought back to your home country. My Emperor Celestial Dynasty has been able to prosper, and naturally it will not let you and other small countries become backward barbarians, but the specific number of students in this country! But it can't be too much, after all, my Datang country has a huge population. There are already countless students. Therefore, I decided to still determine the number of students from various countries who can come to study at our Chang'an Academy according to the trade quota. ”

Li Er talked for a long time, the central idea is actually to say that whoever does a big business with Datang will be able to get more benefits, and the benefits of studying in Chang'an Academy are too huge, and the value of a talent who has learned Datang's technology and even what is called 'science and technology' is simply too high, and there are ten major factories in front of it. As long as you learn the manufacturing technology of any of these factories, you can instantly change the lives of the people of a country. This can't help but be unmoved by the envoys of various countries, especially the Wa and Nanyi countries that will try their best to grab the trade quota with the Tang Dynasty for the sake of quotas, if they want to have a larger trade quota, they must seize bigger things, which will make their contradictions more intense.

Of course, in addition to a few major powers, many other small countries were originally sent by the princes or other nobles as envoys, some short-sighted, but they saw an opportunity to stay in Chang'an to continue to enjoy happiness, if they studied in Chang'an, then they could not stay in Chang'an for a few more years.

Hearing this, the tightest frowns are Lu Dongzan and Gai Suwen, they have seen the equipment and combat effectiveness of the Tang Ten Thousand Cavalry Army, the Tang Dynasty in the case that the cavalry itself is inferior to the two of them, with the advantage of equipment can exert several times the number of their army combat power This is obvious to all, Gai Suwen's primary purpose in coming to Chang'an is to find out the smelting and forging technology of paper armor and Datang weapons.

And Lu Dongzan, is roughly the same, but he is more interested in the gunpowder of the Tang Dynasty and the kind of flames that cannot be extinguished, Songtsan Gampo suffered a defeat in Nanzhao after all, and the defeat of his 30,000 elite cavalry is just the 3,000 cavalry led by Li Shiji, ten times the enemy's strength under the defeat, Songtsan Gampo's reputation in Tubo fell to a historical low, after all, Jiaozhi, Nanzhao and Shuzhong three wars, Tubo invested more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, but in the end lost more than half, not an inch of work, This also led to the rise of Lu Dongzan's forces in Tubo, and now that he has been pushed to the front line of Tang affairs, he does not dare to despise the Tang Dynasty like the young Songtsan Gampo, and he will carefully consider what is the meaning behind every word Li Er.

"What will happen in a year's time, I can't be sure now, but may I ask His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, why are you sure that people from our countries will definitely buy the goods of the Tang Dynasty, and it is not fair to calculate everything according to the trade quota?" Gai Suwen did not have a respectful look towards Li Shimin, and his greatest wish was actually to enter Chang'an and rob Li Shimin's position, but he didn't dare to show it too bluntly, but he was a little reluctant to follow etiquette.

"Fair? How can fairness be pursued between the two countries? Everyone understands in their hearts that this is just an exchange of interests, the reason why I am so sure that you will all buy my Datang goods is because I know that you need it, and if you need it, you have to pay, but it's a pity that my Datang is rich in products, and I don't need you small countries very much, but I also hold my own status as a country, and generally don't compete with your countries for profit, but it's a pity that some people are stubborn and don't start wars and disturb my Datang, so Datang has to take action to return them to color, Turkic is an example, I hope you don't want to be the next Turk, I also understand that your life is not good, so that you make something that you need, and improve your life, so that you will not be able to live anymore and there will be another war. ”

Between Li Shimin's words, he put himself in the position of the Heavenly Empire, and regarded trade with the countries as a good deed to improve their lives and even help them, shameless is shameless, but the people who can benefit from it are love to listen, for example, Xu Jiangpu was the first to jump out and pat Li Shimin's ass, he was born in business, handled things tactfully, and also remembered Dou Yingshan's advice, when there was no one in the world to compete with the Tang Dynasty, the first to come out to express his obedience, the benefits must have been the most, just now the giant water steamer, They paid a smaller price than the Wa State, and they also left a good impression in Li Shimin's heart by the way, this time, they naturally wanted to deepen that good impression, if they could fight for a few more places to study in Chang'an Academy, it would be better.

"What His Majesty of the Tang Dynasty said is that it is just an exchange of interests, but I don't know what my Tubo Kingdom has that the Tang Dynasty wants to get, or wants to exchange?" Lu Dongzan asked. The envoy here, with his oldest age, is also the most precious, after all, the Tang Dynasty did not now conquer the entire Western Regions as on the historical trajectory and establish the Anxi Protectorate, but first took half of the world in the south, and now the countries of the Western Regions are actually respected by Tubo, after all, when it comes to controlling the power, the Tubo people have a greater influence on the countries of the Western Regions.

"Tubo has good horses, the power of the expeditionary aircraft is far from comparable to my Datang, if you want to maintain the balance of border forces, my Datang naturally has to work hard, otherwise you will fight Shuzhong today, and tomorrow you will go to Nanzhao to make trouble, and then you want me to grab some food, which will give me a headache in Datang, so, the plateau cold-resistant horses produced in Tubo, Datang needs some, in addition, of course, a road, a trade route to Tianzhu, or farther away, of course, there are some others, but Datang's needs today are not urgent, otherwise, I'm sure I'll find a way to get it. ”

Li Shimin's words are not polite, after all, the war between the two countries has just ended, he and Lu Dongzan do not need to pretend to be harmonious, according to Yanglin boy, the Tubo Plateau is rich in a thing called Cordyceps, which is a great tonic, and the effect is comparable to ginseng, but the Tubo people do not know its role, and it is a waste of a lot of money, and there are some other precious minerals, which are also rare in the Tang Dynasty, and when making more advanced things, they will definitely be needed, of course, the most important thing is that the Tubo jurisdiction contains rich oil, Li Shimin called it fire oil, this kind of thing is actually the best power fuel for tanks, once the Tubo people excavate and use it, its military combat power will instantly catch up with the Tang Dynasty, after all, without smokeless gunpowder, the power of gasoline bombs can be completely comparable to black powder, once used in large quantities, even more than the damage caused by black powder, at least the ten thousand cavalry wearing paper armor can not fight against it.

"Can the Tang Army go up to the plateau? His Majesty the Emperor is afraid that he is laughing, don't say that I have hundreds of thousands of Tibetan iron cavalry are brave warriors, even if the Tang army is attacked, on the plateau, the four seasons are frosty, and there is nothing to produce, what is the benefit of the Tang Kingdom coming? It's just an increase in casualties, what His Majesty said just now is very good, the people in the bitter cold land live in poverty, but the Tang Dynasty is rich in products, and it should help some, as long as the lives of the people under my umbrella can be improved, and there are good days, how can I raise the army in the Tang Dynasty. ”

Lu Dongzan did not shy away from the momentum exuded by Li Er's body, and said leisurely, the meaning of his words was actually very clear, Datang paid them enough money and food to let their people live, and they naturally did not come to attack Datang, this is a disguised meaning of collecting peace money and protection money, of course, they can give Datang a false name, saying that these things are from the kingdom to help them, and they actually get benefits.

If Lu Dongzan's mention was proposed by the Song Dynasty under the same national strength, then the Manchu Dynasty civil and military would definitely think so, and then negotiate a figure acceptable to both parties, and buy peace with money and grain, but unfortunately this was in the Tang Dynasty, Lu Dongzan's words would only make Li Shimin's anger worse, but there was no point where he lost his mind in anger, Lu Dongzan's words were right, even in later generations, liberating Tibet was an extremely difficult thing, and it would cost many people's lives, in this era, it was almost impossible, Spending money to buy Ping An is also a good choice for Datang, but at the moment, Li Shimin has a better choice.

"Prince Dayan Mangjiebo of Tuyuhun, I don't know that you Tuyuhun are interested in my Tang Dynasty's paper armor, outside Lanzhou City, the record of 3,000 against 30,000 can be all thanks to this thing." Li Shimin's anger had subsided, and he suddenly turned around and said to the Tuyuhun prince Dayan Mang, who was sitting opposite Lu Dongzan. Hearing this, Lu Dongzan's face suddenly changed.
