209. The First Step of Economic Control (Part II)
When the Turkic Jieli Khan and the Turkic Khan received a report from Ashina Yun, saying that Jingwen planned to buy fresh milk on a large scale, they immediately gathered for a meeting. This is a big business, and I'm afraid that the Turks won't dare to call the shots themselves, so it's time to gather all the nobles for a meeting.
"Khan, I think this business is done! We usually can't drink all the fresh milk, and it's a waste to throw it away like this, so we might as well sell it to the Han people. Anyway, if we keep it, we just wait to stink, but it's useless. So, it's not bad for us to sell it to the Han people! In this way, we can get additional income, which can be exchanged for more things from the Han people when the time comes. We can exchange this fresh milk for tea, isn't this also a very good thing? ”
"That's right! Khan, we can also give it to the Han people. We can also get the herders in the tribe to join us, and we don't have much else, just enough fresh milk. Even if it's cheaper, we can't afford to lose. Anyway, it's useless for us to keep it, and we can get something by using it for the Han people! ”
……
The Turkic nobles overwhelmingly agreed, apparently all of them were very interested in this business of selling fresh milk. If there is anyone in the Turks who has the most cattle, sheep and horses, it is the Turkic aristocracy. The Turkic nobles used their military advantage and status advantage to occupy a lot of cattle, sheep and horses, and they had the most fresh milk resources in their hands. Therefore, if this agreement for the purchase of fresh milk can be reached, those Turkic nobles will profit the most, because they have sufficient supplies and can sell them in large quantities. They also didn't expect that someone would be willing to buy this kind of thing that they used to throw away as garbage. Now it's Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai - one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, so what's the problem, anyway, just buy it directly. It can be said that this business is not only for the Turkic nobles, but also for the ordinary Turkic herdsmen. Why not?
Jieli actually wanted to agree, but after all, he had been a Turkic khan for a long time, so of course he would be careful. Moreover, he always feels that there is a problem here, and I am afraid that there is a conspiracy here! Maybe it's because I've been a leader for a long time, I'm careful about everything, and I'm afraid of a conspiracy. And Jieli's shallow economics is simply not enough. In this era, people don't have any research on economics at all, and even Westerners don't study economics much. So. Jieli couldn't judge the problem anymore.
"Zhao Guoshi, you can answer!" Jieli said.
Zhao Deyan came out immediately, and he first said: "Khan, this matter must be cautious, and you can't agree to it, because I'm afraid there is a conspiracy here!" ”
"Zhao Deyan, what do you mean by this Han person? We can obviously make money, but you actually advise us to be careful, can't you agree? Why didn't I see a conspiracy here? "Yes! If there is a conspiracy. Can't we see it? You're trying to stop us from making money, aren't you? "Zhao Deyan, what are your intentions?"
Those Turkic nobles scolded Zhao Deyan one after another, obviously disliking him very much. In fact, among the Turkic nobles, few people would like Zhao Deyan. Zhao Deyan has been in the Turks since he came. He reformed the indiscriminate Jianyijie Li Khan and indiscriminately changed the Turkic traditions. Many Turkic traditions have been changed a lot by Zhao Deyan, the "courtier" Jianyi Jieli Khan, and a lot of Turkic laws have also been changed, making Turkic management somewhat chaotic.
So. Zhao Deyan, a traitor, also had a very bad life, not only was he cursed in his own country, but he was also regarded as a traitor. However, the Turkic Jieli Khan attached great importance to him. But the nobles hated him to the core. Zhao Deyan is a lonely minister in Turkic, an isolated minister without any power. Although Jieli attaches importance to him, he can only rely on Jieli's attention to save his life. If one day, Jieli doesn't pay attention to him, I'm afraid he will be hacked to death by those Turkic nobles. The reason why Jieli attaches importance to Zhao Deyan is because Zhao Deyan proposed to reform the Turks into a country like the Central Plains Dynasty, no longer like the current tribal alliance. But this is not easy, the first country in history that can be transformed, that is, the Liao State of the Khitans. However, in the end, the Liao State declined in national power, and so did the Jin State. This is the use of policies that are not in line with one's own nation, and the result is counterproductive.
But Jieli doesn't care, Jieli doesn't have so much foresight, so he just takes a fancy to the kind of self-respecting power of the emperor of the Central Plains Dynasty, and he also wants to make this kind of system in the Turks, so that he can also have this kind of power. But this kind of thing caused a backlash from the Turkic nobles, who did not dare to resent Jieli, but they hated Zhao Deyan, a traitor, to the core. Now Zhao Deyan took the initiative to remind everyone to be careful, but he was thought by those Turkic nobles to be hindering them from doing good deeds and hindering them from obtaining benefits.
Zhao Deyan looked at this situation now, and he wanted to cry for a while, these Turkic nobles didn't buy his account at all, but thought that he was hindering them from getting rich.
"Zhao Guoshi, what do you want to say, what is the conspiracy here?" Jieli Khan asked.
Zhao Deyan immediately said with some hesitation: "I don't know, but I also feel that there is a conspiracy here!" ”
"Nonsense! You're insulting our intelligence! "If there's a conspiracy, can't we see it?" ……
Those Turkic nobles disdained to be sarcastic about Zhao Deyan, anyway, they were unhappy with Zhao Deyan. But Jieli didn't say anything, because he also felt this way, so he wouldn't be sarcastic about Zhao Deyan. And Jieli didn't know what the problem was, but he saw those nobles surging up, and it was not easy to stop it.
"In that case, you should make a preliminary deal with that Han man first, and we'll take a look first. Our Khan's direct tribe will not participate in the trade first, you will trade first! Jieli said.
Jieli's method is still relatively safe, at least even if Jingwen has any conspiracy, he can make others suffer and not suffer himself. And when the time comes, if there is really a conspiracy, it can be stopped through the identity of Guò Khan, so that greater losses can be avoided. However, Jieli's method is still achievable against general conspiracy. However, if it is an economic problem, then the ancient economic theory cannot find Jingwen's economics at all. I'm afraid that Jieli will be eager to join this ranks in the end. (To be continued......)
