210. The First Step of Economic Control (II)

The Turkic nobles soon met with Jingwen to discuss the purchase of fresh milk. And as soon as Jingwen's thief's eyes rolled, he immediately thought of a good way to trap the Turks.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we also purchase a certain amount of fresh milk! We only purchase one or two million catties every year, how to divide this share? The Turks have countless tribes, large and small, how to divide this share? Jingwen said.

And those Turkic nobles immediately realized that Jingwen's Han purchases were not unlimited, but there was a certain limit. This is also understandable, because what is in this world that is in infinite demand? There is simply nothing that is in demand in an infinite amount, except for air. Therefore, these quota indicators determine the total purchase volume of the Turks, but who will purchase the so many Turkic tribes? This represents economic interests, and I am afraid that there will be disputes within the Turks.

The Turkic nobles decided to sell the milk of their cattle, sheep and horses first, and then give the rest of the quota to the ordinary herdsmen. This is the selfishness of human beings, especially the aristocracy, they are even more selfish. The Turkic nobles themselves possessed a large number of cattle, sheep and horses, and now they wanted to add more wealth to the icing on the cake. And those herders who are in dire need of wealth are left behind, and when they get the benefits, they can only get them last. Therefore, these Turkic nobles are not good birds, and they are also good at internal exploitation.

And the herdsmen will not feel anything unusual, because in the past, when they went to loot, they were the ordinary soldiers who contributed the most and got the least. And the Turkic nobility profited the most. Most of the looted wealth was given to the nobles, and only a small half was obtained by themselves. The Turkic herders were adapted to this. So there's no difference in feeling. Now the Turkic aristocracy is the first to take care of themselves, which is naturally normal in Turkic culture. They don't look like Han Chinese officials. One by one, they pay attention to the discipline of serving the officials and the people. Although there are not many people among the Han people who have this kind of discipline, after all, there is this kind of thinking. However, there are not many people in the Turks who think about ordinary herdsmen, and most of them satisfy themselves first, and then think about herdsmen.

"Our tribe can provide 30,000 catties of fresh milk every year!" "We can provide 40,000 catties!" "We're 50,000 catties!" ……

Those Turkic nobles began to count one by one, and as a result, after such a large circle, everyone was able to provide a large amount of fresh milk. The annual supply of this fresh milk eventually reached more than four million catties, which far exceeded the amount required by Jingwen.

"Guys, we only need two million catties, not so much. If you take out so much. We can't buy it either! You can't force you to buy and sell, can you? Jingwen said.

The Turkic nobles took a look at it, and apparently immediately began to be wary of those around them. Because those guys around me will become their own competitors! The annual quota is two million catties, but the amount they can provide has reached four million catties, so there is competition for this. As for buying and selling, they didn't think about it, Jingwen is not a soft persimmon! Jingwen is an envoy of Datang, if he buys and sells, this is offending Datang. Now it is impossible for the Turks to fight with the Tang Dynasty. They couldn't threaten Jingwen, so naturally they could only compete from within.

"We're a big tribe in the Kreebu, so we should be able to get more! We want at least a quota of 100,000 catties! First a Turkic nobleman said.

Someone immediately retorted: "Why do you want 100,000 catties, we are no less than you." We also need at least 100,000 catties! ”

"You're all divided, so what are we going to eat!"

……

The Turkic nobles immediately quarreled, apparently fighting over the quota. This involves their own vital interests. So there is no reason for everyone to want to. And at this time, the problem of the Turkic tribal alliance system arose. Normally, no one can directly manage anyone, so now they can quarrel for their own interests. A tribe is a small society. Although they are usually connected, they are just a tribal alliance caused by the same living habits. And this kind of system, when it encounters benefits, it rushes to the top, and once it encounters danger, I am afraid that everyone has the idea of preserving strength and sacrificing others. Now, they're arguing over the quota for these dairy products.

"Noisy, noisy, the more noisy the better! When the time comes, you will be divided within yourselves! Isn't the contradiction just a quarrel after quarrel, which eventually turns into an irreparable rift and finally falls apart? Jing Wen thought with a wicked smile in his heart.

Jingwen wished that these Turkic tribes would quarrel here, because as long as they quarreled, then there would be internal contradictions among them. And the Turkic state and political system cannot suppress internal contradictions at all, so this internal contradiction will erupt sooner or later. And there is nothing in normal times, but once it is dangerous, such as when the Tang Dynasty attacks, once this contradiction and selfishness are provoked by people at this critical time, it will be even worse. And there is usually a rift, and if they want to cooperate against the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that it will also be dangerous. As for the war with the Tang Dynasty when the time comes, those tribes that have gained benefits will prevent the war. Once they can find that they can gain advantage by this method, they will not choose the means of war.

Although the Turks are nomadic people, nomads do not mean that they want to make a living by plundering, on the contrary, there are many nomads who like to plunder, but raiding is only a means of survival, not looting for the sake of plundering, and Turkic people rely more on animal husbandry to survive. More nomads actually prefer a low-risk, profitable approach. For the nomads to be able to live by raiding, they had to have a strong leader, such as Genghis Khan. However, Jieli is not Genghis Khan, and he does not have the ability of Genghis Khan, so it is naturally impossible for the Turks to fight to the end of the sky and make a living by plundering. Therefore, the Turks still hope to be able to obtain wealth steadily, and this fresh milk procurement business is a method that can bring stable wealth production channels, and the Turkic nobles have no reason not to use it.

This is the road of fresh milk sales, which is not so easy to follow, because the Turks are in a weak position in trade, so they can only obtain the right to sell through internal strife. However, this kind of internal strife quenches their thirst and can divide them. But at present, no one has found out, and they are all blinded by the immediate interests. (To be continued......)
