Chapter 194: Tribute [I]

"General, the Great Seal Descendant has brought!" Sha Juk stood outside the courtyard and said in a deep voice.

"Bring him in!" Li Cunhuan looked at the scenery outside the courtyard and said softly. The beautiful snow scene blooms with a charming charm, the plum blossoms in the yard are proudly blooming in the wind and snow, and the thin branches are tough to welcome the baptism of the wind and snow.

"The great feudal descendants of the ministers of the Yi Kingdom have seen the general!" Da Feng looked at Li Cunhuan on the side with some surprise, and the current Li Cunhuan was different from what he thought he was receiving by Li Cunhuan.

No matter what time it is, Li Cunhuan seems to be very fond of military uniforms, civilian clothes are short samurai uniforms, formal clothes are military generals or a light decorative armor. The posture is sitting or standing, and the whole person is standing like a pine and sitting like a clock.

But now Li Cunhuan is wearing a black Han robe, with simple and simple patterns on the belt, sleeves and collars. The White Tiger is the main soldier and kills. However, the Han robe is now generally worn by literati, because the sleeve robe of the Han robe is too large, which is not conducive to the practical surname advocated by the military generals. In the fight, it will make people restrain their hands and feet, and they are not loved by martial artists.

At the same time, Li Cunhuan was not standing or sitting at this time, but kneeling on a soft cushion, and his handsome face was full of a faint sadness. In the snow scene, Li Cunhuan is so otherworldly, like a beautiful man who does not eat fireworks in the world. Everything is different from the past, and those who don't know say that this is the scholar.

"Sit down!" Li Cunhuan pointed to a soft cushion opposite him, and Dafeng sat on the soft cushion as he said.

"I want my Han Wu to attack the Huns in the north, and I can't wait to escape to the sky. Set a hundred miles in the south and open up three thousand miles of territory! Conquer the Western Regions and open up the Silk Road. When it came to the Tang Dynasty, Taizong and Xuanzong were even more prosperous, and they didn't want to fall into such a situation now. Li Cunhuan muttered in a slightly sad tone.

Dafeng's heart sank, but on the surface, it was still natural to put his hands on his knees, looked at the beautiful snow scene outside, and said softly: "General, since the opening of heaven and earth, there is the sun hanging high, and there is also Boxi Mountain. There is a moon that is round, and there is a lack of arc hair. Why bother thinking about that? What's in front of you is the best! ”

"You're right! The past has just become a memory, tomorrow? Maybe you and I will die in an accident tomorrow, or now is eternal! Li Cunhuan said with a smile, smiling very heartily, and a trace of sadness on his face just now had dissipated in the air.

"What the general said is very true!" Da Feng also said with a smile, but his momentum was already unconsciously suppressed by Li Cunhuan.

"I want to come here today, you and I know it. I'm not talking nonsense, Changling Mansion, Yalu Mansion, and Nanhai Mansion have all been restructured into states by me. I think you get the idea, right? Li Cunhuan has a faint smile on his face, and his handsome appearance is even more like a spring breeze.

But now the Dafeng descendants are cold-hearted, Li Cunhuan's words are very simple, that is, don't want to get these three prefectures in my hands, oh, now it should be called Sanzhou, they have become the land of the Tang Dynasty again, announced the world, included in the annals of history, and want to come back!? Don't even think about it.

"Huh! Scold! Da Feng laughed dryly and said: "This is originally the land of the Shang Kingdom, and there is nothing under the direct jurisdiction of the Shang Kingdom. Hehe! ”

Li Cunhuan showed a touch of triumph and said: "In addition, Bohai State, as a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, should also pay tribute, there were no regulations in the past, this is undoubtedly a kind of disrespect to the Tang Dynasty, if you like it, you will pay tribute, if you don't like it, you will not pay tribute, and the quota is determined by you lower countries." This is even more blasphemy against Datang! Therefore, I now make it clear that if the Bohai State continues to be a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, then the quantity and variety of tribute must be clarified, otherwise this is a blasphemy against the Tang Dynasty. As long as there is only one person in the army of the Tang Dynasty, they will launch an attack on the Bohai Kingdom that has desecrated the Tang Dynasty! Until the last drop of blood is shed! ”

Speaking of this, Li Cunhuan paused, took out a document from the document on the side, handed it over, and continued: "This is the holy decree of the Son of Heaven, in addition, I need to say that if there is no accident, Lu Long will mobilize 50,000 heavy troops into Liaodong before the winter passes this year, including 10,000 square Lu soldiers!" ”

Pinglu has always been the main object of trade with the Bohai State, which has something to do with Lulong's geographical location and the attitude of the rulers of Lulong towards the Bohai State, but in any case, the Pinglu Army is also an ally of the Bohai State in the Tang Dynasty.

Before the Great Feng descendant came, he had even thought that if Li Cunhuan did not agree to the request, then he would move out of Pinglu Jiedu to make this ally come out, and the attack from the north and south would undoubtedly make Li Cunhuan anxious. However, he didn't know that at the end of this year, Wang Shifan, the envoy of Pinglu Jiedu, had been recovered by Li Cunhuan. Although Pinglu now maintains the surname of Reading Li, he will pay Lu Long a tribute of 300,000 stone grain every year, and in exchange for Lu Long's annual gift of 300 horses. The value of the two sides is not at all comparative, 300,000 stone of grain, according to the highest retail price of 50 wen, can be sold for 150,000 guan, and the average horse is 500 guan! At that time, in the northern border area, an adult Turkic horse was generally about one in twenty-four. This is still because of the war, and in the Tianbao years, it was only between ten and nine dollars, which shows the subordination between the two sides.

"So, what price does the general think is good?" The Great Seal descendant was silent for a moment and asked in a low voice. He knew that he had no way for Li Cunhuan, and the last killer was also cracked by Li Cunhuan. And if you don't recognize the status of the Tang Dynasty, I'm afraid that many nobles in the country will oppose it, and isn't this tantamount to tearing your face? Isn't that tantamount to a declaration of war?

"100,000 pieces of cloth every year! 10,000 pieces of silk! Three thousand horses! 10,000 heads of cattle and sheep! Li Cunhuan opened his mouth with the surname Lion, but his face turned blue with a single mouth.

"Impossible!" Da Feng refused Li Cunhuan's request in one bite. It's not that the Bohai Kingdom can't take out so many tributes, but that taking it out and taking it out are two different things. It's like if you have 10,000 yuan a month, but you have to give 7,000 or 8,000 yuan a month to give to someone, which makes you unacceptable. It's the same surname.

What's more, a country has a lot of expenditures, such as military spending, which is enough to make people smack, take out so much money, and don't think about rapid development of Bohai in the future, and the finances will not be in general embarrassment.
