Although Bazhuo knew that Shi Bufan was calculating him, Bazhuo finally chose to accept the so-called 500 standard quota. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info because Ba Zhuo knows that the current quota is in the hands of the Tang Dynasty, and many Turks want to obtain this quota, because if they can't get the quota, they will naturally not be able to make effective transactions with the Datang people. If effective trading is not available, this will inevitably result in insufficient food replenishment. If someone else wants a quota, they must tie in a war horse at the same time, which is not cheap. Although the Turks seem to have a lot of horses on the surface, just like the Central Plains, horses are different from horses. War horses that can go to the battlefield are not the same thing as ordinary transport horses or even just horses that can be used to plow the fields. Some small tribes of the Turks seem to have thousands of horses, and they may actually give a tenth of them to the battlefield.

In order to obtain the quota, it is necessary to sell war horses, which is also a strategic material for the Turks. Being able to obtain these quotas for no reason, and it is still five hundred quotas, is also a big temptation for a tribe like Xue Yantuo with a population of only hundreds of thousands. Of course, Bazhuo knew that Shi Bufan was deliberately cheating him, deliberately and openly provoking the relationship between them and Jieli. But Bazhuo knew that he had no choice, and he knew that his father, Yi Nan, would make the same choice when he came. The quota of enough food for 10,000 people to eat for a year, and even if you save some of it, it can be enough to feed 30,000 people for a year, which is simply an irresistible temptation for the grassland, where the grain output is very unstable. Bazhuo chose to accept it, even if he knew it was a bitter wine, he would swallow it.

Sure enough, the stubborn Sili began to scold angrily: "Bazhuo, you are also the heir of Xue Yantuo, how could you actually betray our Turks for this wooden card?" This wooden sign cannot be eaten or drunk, and it cannot directly bring any food. She's just a quota, and we'll have to trade with the Tang people with these cheeses when the time comes, why did you all sell us for this thing that you can't eat or drink? ”

He was really almost crazy because he was obsessed with losing his thinking power, and he was still very grateful to Shi Bufan, because Shi Bufan came up with this cheese plan, so that the Turks had enough basis to trade with the Han people. At that time, he didn't think about it so much, he just subconsciously thought that it would be enough to have a stable output.

But now, he found that the Turks had been completely led by the nose by the Han Chinese. The products of these Turkic people are single, the homogeneity is extremely serious, and their Turkic "state system" is obviously problematic and completely divided. The Khan's authority was not as great as he thought, and when faced with this trading quota, these tribes had their own small calculations. They also want to have private dealings with Datang and get more transaction quotas. With the quota, you can get enough trading power from Datang and get more grain. With enough food, more herders can be attached to themselves.

There is no loyalty in the Turks, and as long as they can survive, many Turks are willing to do it. Those tribes that have enough supplies can attract a lot of herders, and those who can't get enough supplies to survive will inevitably leave you. I thought that this dairy product was a good thing, but now it seems that this has shown its power, so that the Turks have begun to have their own small calculations, and they have smashed a heavy hammer on the Turkic already divided country, and the Turks are on the verge of disintegration.

"Why don't I want to be obsessed? Don't you know that we all have access to food? With these quotas, we can get more food, and I wouldn't want to be stupid! Bazhuo retorted.

Zhi Sili said directly: "If it was in the past, we would go directly to rob it, why do we have to promise so many conditions to the Tang people in such a low voice?" But now, we have to make a deal with the Tang people in such a low voice, and even they ignore it. We also have to sell the horses in exchange for the so-called quota that we can't eat or drink. In the past, where did we have such grievances, in the past, the military peaks of our Turkic people were enough to make the Han people breathless. But now you have chosen to make a deal with the Tang people in a low voice, and you are even willing to suffer losses. Where have you gone, as Turkic blood? ”

Obsessiveness began to be very dissatisfied with the Turks, who did not hesitate to sell their horses for the sake of the so-called quotas. However, as long as any herdsman knows that war horses are one of the most important means for the Turks to suppress the Central Plains, once the Tang Dynasty has enough war horses, it will be disastrous for the Turks. However, in order to live with more stable food sources, these Turks did not hesitate to sell their horses, so they chose to get more quotas for themselves. Even in order to obtain quotas, they secretly dismantled each other, striving to sell their war horses to the Tang people.

This is really weird, in the past, how could the Han people say that they were not willing to sell war horses, but now for a quota that cannot be eaten or drunk, they actually take the initiative to sell war horses? It's incredible, it's incredible.

"Where have you gone, as Turkic blood?" Stubbornness scolded angrily.

However, the Turks present were not able to answer at all, because they didn't really want to fight anymore.

In Chang'an, Shi Bufan was in the Criminal Department preparing for customs clearance and other procedures, and was responsible for coordinating those Turkic people to prepare for large-scale entry. This Turkic merchant entered the country in large quantities with many rules, and it was impossible for them to come whenever they wanted. In particular, all kinds of preparations, even stipulating how many security personnel they can carry, as well as the routes they will take, etc., must be strictly planned. After all, these are foreigners, although the Tang Dynasty and the Turks have been "peaceful", but it does not mean that they are friends. Especially the Turks, if they come in large quantities, they also need to be guarded against.

"Liu Shangshu, in fact, you don't have to worry, I don't think the Turks will do anything!" Shi Bufan said.

"The Turks are like jackals, tigers and leopards, they have to be guarded against!" Liu Zhenghui, the secretary of the Criminal Department, said.

But Shi Bufan took the initiative to say: "Liu Shangshu, I don't think so, in fact, these nomads are not as terrifying as imagined, as long as they know what they need, it is actually easy to solve." The reason why they were so fierce in the past was actually because they were poor, and they were not afraid to wear shoes barefoot, so they naturally dared to fight with us. They are threatened anytime and anywhere, and they are all going to fight against natural disasters, beasts, man-made disasters, and even all kinds of people who are also of the same race, and they will naturally be very fierce. In this environment, they can burst out with powerful combat effectiveness. ”

"In addition, although the grassland seems to produce more meat, it is impossible for the people to eat meat as a staple food, they still have to eat grain. In the past, their food production was unstable, and they were even prone to food shortages, so they could only come and loot. I am sure that although a small number of people may like to plunder, any people, including such Turkic nomads, still want to live a stable and comfortable life, and not the whole nation likes to plunder. In the past, they were poor and dared to work hard in order to survive. But now that they have wealth, they naturally don't dare to work hard casually. ”

But Liu Zhenghui disagreed, saying: "Didn't they also have all kinds of dairy products in the past? How can it not be without wealth? ”

"Liu Shangshu, you just saw the wealth of dairy products, but you didn't notice that this wealth was given to them by our Datang. In other words, only we Datang recognize that their dairy products are wealth, and that dairy product is wealth. Otherwise, they will waste a lot of dairy products every year, and they will not be able to get enough sales internally, but they will not have a channel to sell them externally. In this way, only our huge population in Datang can digest enough dairy products. So only if we procure them, their dairy products are wealth, otherwise they are not wealth at all. We give them the value of dairy products, and they have them to get supplies from us. When a poor jingle person, he naturally dares to Qu Peng to work hard. But when a rich person is rich, will they still choose to work hard? When people have wealth, their blood is often weakened. In the past, they didn't have wealth, so they naturally dared to work hard. Now that the worthless things of the past have become valuable, they will naturally want to choose stability. ”

"They're going to be honest because they don't have a choice. If we don't want to trade with them, they will lose a lot, because dairy is not what we need, but food is what they need. So they are begging us, not us. ”

Liu Zhenghui still disagreed: "But you're not afraid of forcing them to hurry, they are jumping off the wall in a hurry?" ”

"Liu Shangshu, the dog jumped off the wall in a hurry? If they really want the dog to jump off the wall, they will lose even more. Although they don't know how to trade, they still have basic life experience. They understand that if they have a bad relationship with our Datang, they will not say whether they can defeat our Datang and get enough supplies. Even if the materials are obtained, it is only once, and it is difficult to obtain them after one time, and it will lose a long-term trading channel. I don't think the Turks would do such a stupid thing as they fished. ”

"Longing for comfort and peace is not what the Han people of the Tang Dynasty want, and the Turks are the same. Although it may seem that they are suffering, they will choose to endure. Because although we have been exploited, it is better than having no chance to be exploited in the past. They are heavily dependent on us, and we are not very dependent on them. The two sides are not the same level of trade dependence, and they naturally have no temper in front of us. It may not be able to fight, and it is heavily dependent on us in trade, so it is natural that we must choose to compromise. As long as we don't push them into a real hurry, to the point where launching battlefield looting is cheaper than the cost of trading, they won't turn their faces and jump over the wall. ”

"On the surface, I gave them the opportunity to trade, but it minimized the possibility of them jumping off the wall. In the past, the Central Plains wanted their war horses, and they knew that the war horses could not be sold casually, and our Central Plains did not need too many things from them, so that the two sides could not get effective interdependence. Although I gave them a chance to make money, it means that they will think a lot before starting a war in the future, and they will think about it a lot more than in the past. In the past, they were barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, but now that they have suddenly become shoe-wearers, they will definitely think more and be more cautious. What's more, they know that they only sell cheese to me Datang, and my Datang is their only consumer, if they force me Datang, a 'consumer', to be anxious, then can't we not eat cheese? Anyway, if they don't eat cheese, they won't die, but once they run out of food, they will either starve to death or start a war. But they themselves are not willing to start a war. ”

"So in order to avoid risks, they naturally won't take the initiative to provoke us. The Turks are not stupid either, they are not absolutely reckless. They will calculate the stakes and not dare to let the situation worsen easily. Even if we exploit them, so what? As long as we can take advantage of them well, and we don't get to the point where they think that starting a war is more to lose than trading, they won't jump off the wall. In the past, the Turks were just a rotten life, but now that they have money, they will cherish their lives. ”

Liu Zhenghui finally said: "It seems that you are still powerful, in the past, the Turks were extremely arrogant and often threatened by force. But now, they are very honest, and even if they are exploited by us, they can only endure it. In the long run, the blood of the Turks did not know where to go. When you have wealth, that blood will be erased. ”

"Yes, when you have wealth, your blood will disappear. And this wealth is in our hands. We buy cheese, and that cheese is wealth. If I don't buy it and don't recognize this as wealth, then they will definitely lose a lot. The value of this cheese is in our hands, so they don't dare to offend us, because if they offend us, their wealth will also become garbage. In order to preserve their wealth, they naturally do not choose to offend us. In the past, we were interdependent and unbalanced, we wanted their horses, and they refused to sell more. However, they have too much to do with us, so that the two sides are unbalanced, and in the end it is easy for an armed conflict to break out. However, I deliberately increased my dependence on them, which was conducive to resolving the balance between the two sides. They dare not offend us for the sake of the value of their wealth. Therefore, once this goes on for a long time, their Turkic blood will be exhausted. Once they adapt to a comfortable and orderly life, their Turkic fighting power will cease to exist.
