"Your Highness, I'm afraid this matter will be difficult!"

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Hao Chujun frowned and said to Li Hong.

This is a good idea, but the Turks are not stupid, and beef cattle, horses, and lambs are the foundation of their tribe.

Many Turks regarded it as their fate, how could they agree to use these tributes to the Tang Dynasty as compensation? It's simply not giving them a way to live!

Hao Chujun is a straight temper, he will say whatever he thinks, and as soon as he thought of this, he spoke directly.

"With all due respect, the cattle and sheep are the food for the Turks, and the horses are what they regard as their lives.

The old man frowned, and looked at Li Hong with blank eyes, obviously, he didn't want this plan to be aborted, but these difficulties did exist, and they couldn't get around!

Li Hong smiled slightly, how could he not have considered this matter?

"Hao Zhongshu rest assured, my Tang Dynasty is the country of the suzerain, how can I do those things that force the vassal state, not to mention that my father is benevolent and wise, Ze is surrounded by the Quartet, since the Turks have been subordinated to the Tang Dynasty, my Tang Dynasty should naturally support it!"

This righteous look on his face couldn't help but make Xu Jingzong speechless for a while.

The feelings just now want to squeeze people dry in one breath, as if it wasn't you......

But having said that, Xu Jingzong's heart is still very curious, how will Li Hong solve this kind of problem, if it is the matter of compensation, he has not thought about it before, but every time he is stuck here, he can't snatch all the food they live in, not to mention that people don't give it, and it is not in line with Confucian morality!

There was a pause. Li Hong didn't continue to hang his appetite and said.

"As you all know, the Turks did not do farming, and the tribes had been feeding on cattle and sheep for a long time, and even if there were some barley and the like, the yield was very low. That's why they regard cattle and sheep as life.

And my Datang has a lot of land and resources, and there is enough food, and now the vitality of the Turkic people is greatly damaged, and they are waiting to be fed, since they are the vassal state of my Datang, Datang naturally can't sit idly by!

Gu heard that the grain in several states of the past year had become moldy, so it was better to send it to the Turks so that they could survive. What's wrong? ”

Li Hong's mouth was gentle, with a compassionate atmosphere.

But it made these people here look at each other, is this the Royal Highness the Crown Prince they know?

How could he suddenly be so kind?

But in the next sentence, Li Hong exposed his thoughts.

"Of course, although my Datang is rich in this thing, it can't be sent in vain, since they have food, naturally they don't need so many cattle and sheep. The first grain was given to them in exchange for the rest of the cattle and sheep, and what was not enough was owed first. Anyway, they already owe me such a large amount of compensation to Datang, and they don't care about owing more! ”

Everyone silently bowed a tear of sympathy for the Turks in their hearts, and it is really unlucky to meet such a prince!

The people present were all human spirits, and almost at the same time as Li Hong said it, they understood what he meant. Now that Datang has won, it naturally has an absolute advantage when negotiating.

And how to exchange grain and cattle and sheep, how much grain to exchange for how many cattle and sheep, naturally Datang has the final say!

They don't know how many cattle and sheep the Turks have left, but this highness the crown prince is afraid that he will not have such good intentions. I am afraid that the food sent out will only be enough for them to eat.

And as a price, they need to send all the cattle and sheep to the Tang Dynasty, plus the best horses, if the lord in front of them is a little more ruthless, I am afraid that there will be a debt.

Don't forget, they already owe Datang a large amount of compensation, and now they have added a debt, I'm afraid that within a hundred years, they will have to do day work for Datang!

"Your Highness is wise!"

Everyone was convinced, and they were all a little surprised by Li Hong's thoughts.

But even so, everyone's faces are still very ugly, because Li Hong's idea is good, but at the same time, it means that it is extremely difficult to implement, and the first thing is the public opinion of the courtiers!

You must know that asking for compensation from the defeated ministers is unprecedented, according to the traditional Confucian concept, the Tang Dynasty, as the suzerain, regained the lost territory and punished the rebellion, which is the proper meaning, how can it be confused with such vulgar things as money.

It is conceivable that once this method of reparation is proposed, I am afraid that it will immediately be greatly opposed by the courtiers.

As soon as he thought of this, Xu Jingzong smiled bitterly, he knew that the matter related to Li Hong must be a big trouble!

It's just that he didn't expect him to play so big this time, almost standing on the opposite side of the entire courtiers, no wonder he had to gather so many of them together, and Hao Chujun had already boasted about Haikou before, and there was no way to shirk it, so he looked at Hao Chujun with a little more resentment.

At the same time, Hao Chujun obviously realized the seriousness of the matter, and his expression was a little more hesitant.

He didn't mind his official position, but he didn't know how to pull in so many people, which made Hao Zhongshu a little embarrassed for a while.

Unexpectedly, Li Hong suddenly put away the smile on his face and said with a straight face.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Lone knows that it is difficult to implement this matter, and it is difficult to implement it with the power of the East Palace alone, which is why Lone invited you to come today, but this matter is related to the peace of the border for hundreds of years after my Tang Dynasty. I hope to encourage you! ”

After saying that, Li Hong solemnly arched his hand.

"If the country lives and dies for profit, will it not be avoided because of blessings and misfortunes......"

Hao Chujun repeated Li Hong's words in a complicated tone, and suddenly his face turned pale, and he also solemnly arched his hand.

"Your Highness is really the model of the true monarch, Fang is the old minister's mistake, since this matter is beneficial to my Tang Dynasty, the old minister will definitely do his best, please rest assured!"

Immediately after that, the rest of them also bowed their hands to express their approval, and when it came to Xu Jingzong's matter, they smiled bitterly, and arched their hands with a little helplessness.

"Your Highness, rest assured, the old minister will do his best!"

Speaking of which, in this hall, only he has the most distant relationship with Li Hong, but this also means that he can remain calm under Li Hong's instigation.

In the final analysis, Li Hong was still fooling the people in the hall to charge for him and settle the difficult ministers in the court.

However, the current situation does not allow him to continue to hesitate, but Xu Jingzong has a deeper understanding of Li Hong's methods, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has become more and more mature now.

I'm afraid that those who want to wrestle with him are really going to be disappointed...... (To be continued.) )
