As soon as Yang Lin's words were finished, the envoys of various countries began to talk around, when facing a powerful country, these small countries will naturally choose to hold together, of course, in terms of national strength, only Tubo and Goryeo can be a little tougher in front of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo has more than 100,000 cavalry capable of expeditions to make them proud of the Western Regions and even the Middle East countries, the Tang Dynasty obviously does not have the strength to expedition there at present, the only 10,000 cavalry army with the ability to run long-distance, one was almost wiped out by Goryeo, One fought a bloody battle with the Tuyuhun army, although it won, but the loss was nearly half, and there was a team that was pinned down in Shu and did not dare to leave a little, if the prosperous Shu was plagued by the Tubo people, it would be a heavy disaster in the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, with the powerful scientific and technological capabilities brought by Yanglin, Datang's military capabilities have only risen slightly in the world, positional warfare, defense and naval warfare belong to the first in the world, and expeditionary capabilities are still ranked third, taking the current transportation capacity as an example, Datang's army has not yet had the ability to transport the Shenwei cannon weighing thousands of catties to the Western Regions or the plateau, but hundreds of thousands of cavalry in Tibet, in the open Gobi Desert or grassland, from all directions, a charge can defeat the Tang army, if all the 10,000 cavalry troops are concentrated, It can barely suppress Goryeo, which has an army of about 100,000 troops, and it is no problem against the Turks and small countries such as Tuyuhun Xue Yantuo, but there is only one word against Tubo, defeat, because the number is too small, and the resistance to the cold and endurance are insufficient.

Yang Lin was not in a hurry to talk to these foreign envoys, but first moved his eyes to another group, the seven sects and five surnames, the Han family, in recent years, the top ten factories in the east and west and the forces represented by the seven sects and five surnames have a lot of business dealings, basically there are good goods to supply to them first, the king and they enjoy first, what is the heavy project investment, first find them to cooperate in development, which makes the people of the seven sects and five surnames very useful, and the increasingly inflated wealth on the account books makes them feel that this Li emperor is still a good way. Where they can give support, the seven sects and five surnames will also give a certain amount of support, although they have not been arrogant enough to ask the top ten factories to take the initiative to hand over some business to them, but every time they talk about business, their status is also relatively transcendent, at least there is no need to worry about the share problem, the top ten factories want to develop smoothly, they must also rely on them a little, so in business, they must also give them a part of the concession.

Of course. What they don't know is that their wealth is just more in the account books, the investment in various large projects, although it is said to make money, but the investment in the early stage is also huge, and the massive cash of the major families is moved out, and all they get is the equity and interest dividend ratio of a certain industry, although it seems that it will become more and more valuable in the future, and more money will be generated. But their cash has been emptied, otherwise there would not be more than 30 million yuan of cash in the basement of Yanglin's Horse Mansion, and Li Er's palace inner mansion also has this number.

Pulling them into the shares was a ploy that Li Er and Yang Lin had come up with from the beginning. When their wealth has become power, then they must be attached to the emperor Li Er, who gave them rights, and Li Er does not mind them being rich and enjoying the fruits of the development of the Tang Dynasty unconditionally. But they had to lose all their restraint on the emperor, and without cash and food, they could not rebel. This is the first step to weaken the means of weakening the seven sects and five surnames, Li Er has already done it, so the only criterion for Dabi to become a scholar is the second step that Li Er wants to implement, the seven sects and five surnames have gathered more than seventy percent of the scholars in the Tang Dynasty, and these scholars are the kind of scholars that Yanglin classifies as parasites, and these scholars hold most of the rights of the middle and lower classes of the Tang Dynasty, so if a government decree affects the interests of the seven clans and five surnames, then even if Li Er is resolute, it will be difficult to implement.

As long as you have read a book and obtained the status of a scholar, then you can become an official by recommendation, even if you have a good score in the scientific examination, but there is no high-ranking official to recommend you, you still can't be an official, and if you win the Jinshi or champion, you will immediately seal a county order or something, that is the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, the scientific examination of the Tang Dynasty, it is normal for more than ten years not to produce a show, because it is not much use for scholars to get good results in the exam, whether you can be an official, how big an official you are, it all depends on what the recommender says, China's most famous poet Du Fu, the poet immortal Li Bai, their writing should be sharp enough! But the two of them will be eighth-grade petty officials at the most, because there is no relationship. Therefore, if you want to suppress the power of the seven sects and five surnames in the officialdom, you have to start by taking scholars, who said that the imperial examination is useless, this year Li Er will promote many children of poor families as officials, and even abolish the system of recommending officials.

Yanglin and the seven sects and five surnames of the stewards are still polite, and there are big projects to find them, Zhenguan in the first year of the drought in Guanzhong did not make the people of the nearby states and counties of Chang'an gather in Chang'an City, they have not been back since then, digging the Yangjiang Canal, and then establishing the East and West Ten Factories, these people will stay in Chang'an forever, and from farmers to workers, so now in addition to Chang'an, the surrounding states and counties of Guanzhong are facing the problem of vast land and sparse population, Since the nobles responded to Li Er's call to replace the fiefs near Chang'an City to those places, the land ownership in those places was relatively concentrated and in the hands of various noble classes.

Seeing the growing population of Chang'an, the daily consumables are increasing massively, and the food and vegetables to be eaten every day are more than hundreds of thousands of catties, and there is already a situation that cannot be supplied, and Yanglin intends to build these areas into a vegetable and fruit industrial park, large-scale, batch planting and production, vegetables and fruits, non-staple foods, for the consumption of Chang'an, which Yanglin intends to dedicate the greenhouse technology, and then use all the resources of the glaze factory to build several 10,000 acres of large greenhouse vegetable base, it is conceivable, How high will the price of vegetables in the winter of Chang'an City be, what will be popular, a little imaginary, several families of people happily decided to do, this thing has the participation of the top ten factories and the heavenly horse, it will definitely not lose, not only can not lose, but also make a lot of money, then responsible for land and recruitment, planning and construction will be handed over to these families, so the big families have just spent more than half of the dividend money just invested in various industries this year.

After sending away the heads of several major families who were happy to get a big money-making project, Yang Lin looked at the envoys of various countries again, and it was impossible for the big families to notice that Yang Lin was digging a pit for them to jump, because this is indeed a money-making project, and it is a project that makes a lot of money in the long run, but the investment is a bit big, and without investment, how can it make a lot of money? Isn't that a matter of course? If one of them can jump out to look at the problem, they will find that several major families don't know when to start, the actual annual income can only just maintain their expenses, and the excess money is used in one investment project after another, and it will take many years to recover all the investment and really start making profits, and Datang still has endless projects for them to invest, and in one investment project after another, they have gradually lost the ability to control these money. kidnapping their wealth with the development of the entire Datang, the Datang court is fine, then they can continue to make money and live a good life, if there is a rebellion in the Datang, it may destroy their industries at the first time, they will be the first to come out to maintain these industries, if the Datang Dynasty dies, they will become nothing, this huge pit, completely kidnapped the seven clans and five surnames.

"Well, God bestows the horse, I don't know what kind of definition Datang has for the establishment of diplomatic relations, what is the establishment of diplomatic relations? What does it mean not to establish diplomatic relations? A foreign envoy with blond hair and blue eyes asked.

Yang Lin touched his nose embarrassedly when he heard this, he didn't make it clear before, there are different definitions of establishing diplomatic relations and forming alliances, for example, Datang is now in an alliance with the Hui, and the two sides agreed that once the common enemy of the two countries appears in a specific area, the two countries can form a coalition to deal with the enemy country, and it is this alliance policy that makes Xue Yantuo and Tuyuhun dare not act rashly, because the area where they are located is in the triangle between the Tang State and the Hui, once there is a large number of military operations, It is likely to encounter the possibility of being attacked by the enemy on the back or from both sides, after all, even if the Hui is not strong, it is also a country with a huge area, and tens of thousands of cavalry are still pulled out, and the Tang Dynasty has always been a fine army and a simple government, in the case of the same number of soldiers, the Tang Dynasty, at least the Taizong Dynasty rarely suffers defeats, just look at the number and combat effectiveness of the 10,000 cavalry army.

"What does the establishment of diplomatic relations mean, that is, the two countries send envoys to each other to be stationed, exchange what they have, maintain free commercial trade, except for their own controlled products, they can allow the merchants of the countries having diplomatic relations to exchange trade, the two countries that have diplomatic relations with each other can agree on a mutually acceptable amount of trade taxes, do not infringe on the interests of the countries having diplomatic relations, and must not launch attacks on the people of the countries having diplomatic relations without reason, and the merchants or people of the countries having diplomatic relations are protected by the laws of their own countries, if your country has no laws, then sorry, you do not have the conditions for establishing diplomatic relations, and either party violates the agreement. It will be regarded as aggression, and our Datang will take military strikes against countries that invade their own rights and interests. ”

Yang Lin explained slightly, in fact, in this regard, he still had to discuss a specific charter with Tang Jian, the Qing of Honglu Temple, after all, Tang Jian knew these things better.

"In addition to commerce and trade, Datang will allow young students from countries that have established diplomatic relations to come to Datang to learn culture or skills, there is a news that you may not know, a Chang'an Academy will be built in Chang'an City, and the first chief of the academy may be the master of the craftsman, that is, my teacher Gu Yue Daowen, when the time comes, Mr. Gu Yue will have regular lectures in Chang'an Academy, I believe that your countries will be very interested in this, so, please envoys to tell your king, if there is an intention to establish diplomatic relations, please himself, Or send an envoy who can represent him with full powers to Chang'an to watch the ceremony and sign an agreement on the establishment of diplomatic relations, as for the country that has no law, our bookstore in Chang'an already has a printed cost of selling the Tang law, you can buy a copy of the hard set, or use some of the terms that are useful to you, and make your own laws. This year, it will all be the same, if there are a small number of changes, just discuss with Lu Bingchang, the general manager of my door, and he can make the decision on transactions within one million. ”

Yang Lin waited for them to digest what they had said before, and continued to introduce, one million guan is already all the wealth that many small countries can come up with, which means that there is no upper limit for them, but when it comes to Chang'an Academy, the eyes of the envoys of various countries began to shine, and Yang Lin knew that his other giant pit was about to be dug again.
