689, the country of hypocrites (II)

Dayan Mangjiebo hurriedly kowtowed to Emperor Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, our Tuyuhun is too poor to get 20 million guan, isn't 2 million guan money enough?" ”

But immediately someone said, "You sent the food!" Two million yuan is not enough for our military spending! The emperor let you only give 20 million guan, which is already very merciful. ”

And Dayan Mangjiebo finally realized that there are no good people here in Datang! The reason why they are gentlemen is because the interests are not enough for them to tear off the mask of hypocrisy. But now, they have no mercy, they directly tore off the mask of hypocrisy and began to blackmail the bone and marrow. 20 million yuan, which will be 8 billion yuan in later generations. Although 8 billion yuan is nothing in terms of the national finances of later generations, it is a huge amount of money that makes countless people blush in ancient times. How can the financial revenues of ancient times be compared with those of later generations? Therefore, this is only 20 million yuan, which is enough to make countless people turn into greedy pythons and start to open their mouths. Obviously, if they don't eat 20 million guan today, they won't let go of this Tuyuhun.

And in the end, the last straw of Dayan Mang's wave finally came.

"Your Majesty, the minister thought that he still had to forgive them and not have so much money. We, in the Central Plains, should uphold the teachings of the saints and repay grievances with virtue. Since they can't afford so much money, it's better to get rid of it! Kong Yingda said.

After all, Kong Yingda is still a descendant of Sage Kong, and he still can't adapt to these things that extort foreign countries. Moreover, Kong Yingda's style can only be a scholar, but not a politician. Other politicians are chasing and extorting money. But Kong Yingda actually persuaded the emperor to give up this huge amount of money, obviously he was really a "true gentleman". However, when it comes to the fat next to his mouth, Li Shimin is not so easy to give up.

"Master Kong, you can't say that! If Tuyuhun's indemnity arrives. I can build a relationship with the emperor and take out one percent as a subsidy for students all over the world. We can open more official schools, so that more people can enter the official schools to study, and learn the wise sayings of the Confucian saints! In this way, we can read all over the country, and the saying of Confucius that there is no class in the past can be truly realized? Jingwen said.

As soon as Kong Yingda heard this, he immediately smiled like a chrysanthemum. As a descendant of Sage Confucius, Kong Yingda hopes that Sage Kong's remarks can be learned by more people. And to put it mildly, Kong Yingda is not a descendant of Kong Shengren. Then I'm afraid that the wine of this country is not his. It is not so much that today is what he worked hard to get, but that he has some ability, and then coupled with the golden sign of the descendants of the Confucian saints, he has today's status. There are also many people in this world who are proficient in admission, why is everyone touting him? Isn't it because he is a descendant of the saint Confucius? Therefore, the higher the status of Confucius, the more people learn from Confucius, then I am afraid that the status of Confucius will be higher. The more respected by others, the more benefits it will bring to the Kong family.

"Your Majesty, the minister agrees to ask Tuyuhun for compensation!" Kong Yingda said.

Dayan Mang's Jiebo was immediately disappointed, and this Kong Yingda actually gave up on him.

Everyone has their own interests. It just depends on whether their interests are involved. The reason why other officials pay attention to the style of a gentleman is because a gentleman can bring him benefits. But as soon as the greater good arises, they will immediately become a true villain. Although Kong Yingda studied the knowledge of his ancestors, he was the foundation of his ancestors' knowledge. That's how many people learn. If we can study Confucius's remarks all day long, wouldn't that make the Confucian family more and more respected by others?

For the Confucian family, of course, they hope that Confucius's ideals can be realized. That is, there is no class in teaching. Only when the Confucian family is truly educated will become the world's first family, and it has become the core of a faith, and the benefits brought by this are incomparable.

In the case of this interest, Kong Yingda also abandoned his gentleman and immediately began to exploit Tuguhun for the benefit of his family. I have to say that the usual gentlemanly demeanor of the Central Plains does make many foreigners really think that the emperor officials of the Central Plains are easy to talk to. But now, once the stakes are big enough, it becomes difficult to speak. Didn't this Tuyuhun originally want to come to the Central Plains and persuade the emperor officials in the Central Plains not to have so much money? can not even score a point, but instead find Jingwen for revenge. But now that it has ended up like this, this is simply self-inflicted.

"Your Majesty, we can't take out so much money for a while!" Dayan Mangjie said crying.

The man didn't talk lightly when he had tears, but now that he was bullied by so many people, Dayan Mang's Jiebo also began to cry.

"Don't worry, we can let you pay in installments, and you can supplement it with your specialties! However, the price of special products should be calculated according to your local price, and cannot be calculated according to the price of our Central Plains. Jingwen said.

Next, everyone began to estimate how many specialties Tuyuhun could have. And when everyone heard that there was actually a big lake in Tuyuhun, and the water in it was salty and salty, this immediately made everyone smile. If nothing else, they didn't expect there to be a salt lake there. In this way, salt would not have to be transported to Chang'an from the far east coast in the future. Chang'an does not produce salt, and salt is transported over long distances. So, the cost remains high. However, there is a salt lake in Tuyuhun, which can produce salt in large quantities, so naturally it will not be slaughtered in vain.

"Your Majesty, the minister thought that he still had to garrison troops in Tuyuhun, so as to ensure that Tuyuhun could pay compensation continuously. And these garrisons, that is, Tuyuhun has to bear it himself. However, we can also ensure that Tuyuhun will not be invaded by Tibet. Jingwen said.

"Accurate!" Li Shimin said.

Regarding the issue of the garrison, Li Shimin also knew about it, and that was in order to be able to contain Tibet. And now it is also to be able to supervise whether Tuyuhun can pay the compensation on time, and even related to whether Tuyuhun will dare to invade Datang in the future. If Tuyuhun dares to invade the Tang Dynasty in the future, then the local garrison can clean them up.

When Dayan Mangjiebo heard this, he immediately couldn't help it and fainted. He finally knew how wrong it was to come to Datang, Datang is a country composed of hypocrites! I'm just sending sheep into the tiger's mouth. (To be continued......)
