Section 159 Murwei and the Ori [Four Watches No. 2]
Li Yuanxing picked up a ribbon from the table and tied his hair very casually.
"Bring them to the king's reception room in a while, and you will send someone to help the king do something hard tomorrow!"
"Serving His Highness, it's not hard!" The old wolf followed Li Yuanxing out.
After coming to Li Yuanxing's reception room, Li Yuanxing said: "Prepare a basket of corn and send it to Luoyang quickly." To Lord Qu Tutong, let a person who understands agriculture go. Say whatever you ask? ”
"Understood!" The old wolf agreed, and exited the parlor.
Li Yuanxing smiled after making a cup of tea by himself, Cui Dunli is still the Cui family after all, and the concept of having a family first and then a country is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in this era.
Although Li Yuanxing couldn't guess what was going on, Li Yuanxing believed that the family must be making trouble for himself this time.
In terms of those theories on later TV dramas, the army is about to return, and the distribution of credit is secondary. At present, the position of Tianying Pavilion is the key, and this time, there are at least ten or more people in the army, all of whom are qualified to occupy a seat in Tianying Pavilion, especially like Li Jing.
He is not only the founder of the country, but also has extraordinary ability, and has a wide range of connections among the emerging nobles.
Therefore, if the family wants to fight with the nobles for the seat of Tianying Pavilion, it will definitely start after the return of the army.
Li Yuanxing is the king of Qin, if Li Yuanxing can't find some trouble, then Li Yuanxing's support is really terrible, and Li Yuanxing's identity as the king of Qin is not good-looking.
But once he found some trouble for Li Yuanxing, even if Li Yuanxing was lacking in skills. It's all haode.
"Bastard!" Li Yuanxing was shot while lying down, Li Yuanxing originally planned not to participate in the affairs of Tianying Pavilion, but do the families believe it?
The messengers of Murowei and the Devil entered the house, and their retinue remained outside.
There was only Cui Dunli in the house.
Since he came to King Qin's Mansion to sit as a guest, he would naturally inquire about His Royal Highness King Qin's preferences.
Especially at the level of this treat, they knew very well that King Qin had attached great importance to them. First, he came to Qin Wangzhuang, the private village of His Royal Highness King Qin. The second is the history of the Qin Prince's Mansion. The third is the banquet in the small hall of King Qin. The fourth is what moved them the most, King Qin made tea by himself.
And they sat at a small round table, a small round table four feet in diameter.
Tea. They don't understand. But they received the courtesy.
"Drink tea first. I'm not used to this tea. But you come to Chang'an and don't adapt to the water and soil, this tea nourishes the stomach and nourishes people! Li Yuanxing said it too directly, which made the two envoys a little unaccustomed.
Since you can come to Datang. Naturally, he understands Chinese. After watching the red tea pour into the cup. Murwei asked, "This is a stomach-nourishing theory." Ask Your Highness! ”
"Black tea, warm. The diet in Chang'an is different from yours, and Taoism has its own way of health preservation. If you are interested, this king can introduce a few health sages to you. Just say this tea, calm down and taste, only to know its taste! ”
Li Yuanxing is polite, and he is completely trying to ease the atmosphere before talking about business.
After a cup of tea, the messenger of Murowei thanked him, although he still did not understand the beauty of the tea.
"To put it simply, the king sent you an invitation before he went out to fight against the Turks, hoping to send an envoy to talk. Since you were invited to come, it was naturally for the benefit of both parties? ”
Li Yuanxing is too direct, and in modern times, it is diplomatic negotiations.
Straight to the point, not to mention that the two envoys couldn't stand it, even Cui Dunli couldn't accept it.
"Let's talk about Murowei first! You are poor and backward there, and to put it irreverently, the richest of you in Murowe does not have a third pair of trousers. Moreover, the silk, linen, and white cloth of my Tang Dynasty are not much for your nobles, and you have no iron, although you have learned to cultivate in recent years, the harvest is very small. ”
Li Yuanxing's words were so straight that the envoy of Murwei turned red.
But Li Yuanxing's courtesy came first, and Li Yuanxing's words were definitely not humiliating, so the envoy stood up in shock. But they just bowed with their room etiquette, and sat down silently.
"Want to get rich?" Li Yuanxing poured tea again.
Cui Dunli already wanted to open his mouth to persuade, His Royal Highness the King of Qin, your old man is the King of Qin, the prince of the Tang Dynasty. How can you be like a businessman, and when you open your mouth, you ask if you want to get rich? This is a very rude remark.
But the messenger of Murwei was more direct: "I think, I think, we want Murwei too, our whole clan thinks, we want to eat bread, we want cloth, we want silk." I want to give my woman with gold on her head! ”
"Happy, please!" Li Yuanxing raised the teacup: "Replace wine with tea, drink it full!" ”
The envoy didn't care whether the tea was hot or not, and poured it into his mouth in one gulp.
"It's very simple to get rich, there are three ways for this king, you can choose any one and get rich."
The envoy stood up and bowed. The messenger also got up and made a great salute with them, for they were neighbors, and they were all poor ghosts. The only thing that has some iron is from Goguryeo. Because in the eyes of the Tang people, they are no different from savages.
"Sit!" Li Yuanxing made a gesture of please, and then said to Cui Dunli: "Eldest brother, please record!" ”
There is also a special book case in the hall of the meeting, and Cui Dunli can be promoted to the level of the third grade, so he is naturally very reliable in his work. Li Yuanxing's record made him understand that it was likely that the future covenant with Murwei would be based on this.
"One, cow! You Murowei people like to raise cattle. ”
"Your Highness, we are willing to offer 3,000 cows as a gift!" The envoy of Murwei immediately took a stand.
Li Yuanxing shook his head, three thousand heads, if it is used to eat meat, his Zhuangzi can be eaten happily for a few days, too little, too little: "This king buys your cattle, you go to negotiate the price with the Datang Department of Commerce, with this king's warrant, Gao Shangshu will give you a fair price." One year, 500,000 heads! ”
"Five, five hundred thousand!"
What a huge number, a cow, a strong ploughing cow in Datang, is about five to seven dollars.
The messenger of Murowei quickly calculated that 500,000 head of cattle, it can be said that it is not enough for them to buy all the cattle in Murowei at the moment!
"Go back and raise cattle well, this king will always buy them. There are two types of cattle, one is the strong ploughing ox and the other is not strong and can be used to eat meat. If you don't understand jihua, this king can send someone to teach you how many bulls, how many cows, how many calves are added every year, and then sell them to Datang! ”
The envoy of Murwei was thinking about it, and after a long time, he said: "Your Highness, what can these 500,000 cattle be exchanged for in Datang?" ”
Haha! Li Yuanxing smiled heartily, and then gave Cui Dunli a look.
Cui Xiaoli got up and said, "Mountains of grain, mountains of linen, let your women's heads be full of gold, and your tents will be full of coins." ”
Gao Ming, this statement is far more than a few dollars for that cow.
"The Khitan tribe will rob our cattle!" The Murwei envoy raised another problem.
Li Yuanxing stood up: "Write!" This king's order, Chai Shao's department transferred to the state and guarded the town. Hou Junji and Zhang Liang two departments, adjusted Youzhou to repair, and waited for the king's order. Write again, this king invited the Khitan Khan to come to Chang'an in person, and if he comes, he will be allied, otherwise he will fight! Copy this document to Chai Shaobu! ”
Cui Dunli was a little hesitant as he wrote.
This is the authority of the Tiance General's Office, and I don't know if I will exceed my authority by writing documents on my behalf.
But Li Yuanxing asked him to write, so he had to write down the document first.
"Again! The Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War selected officials to prepare for the envoy to the room! ”
The two envoys obeyed, and the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty deserved to be the first king of the Tang Dynasty, and he acted vigorously and resolutely. The army was directly transferred to the front of the Khitan tribe, and with the prestige of the victory over the Turks, you Khitan tribe could not accept it.
Cui Dunli got up and called a personal entourage outside the door, and asked his personal entourage to send the sealed document he had written and sent to Wei Zheng. The transfer of troops must be written by the Tiance General's Mansion, so it is extremely haode to be handled by Wei Zheng.
After returning to the house, Li Yuanxing continued: "I heard that there are a lot of slaves in Murowei, and this king wants it. Also, this king also invited the people of Muwei to come to my Datang to raise dolphins, and the haode they raised definitely let them live the life of rich peasants in the Tang Dynasty, with wine and meat every day, silk and slaves at home! ”
The envoy agreed, but the number needed to be discussed. But there will definitely be no less than 50,000 slaves, and there will be no less than 10,000 people who come to work in Datang.
After Mu Wei finished speaking, Li Yuanxing turned to the Yan Ya.
"You have horses, but this king likes you for two things, the first is that you dare to fight. This king hired the warriors of the Yan Dynasty to fight for the Tang Dynasty. Those who dare to fight will inevitably become rich. The second point is that you know water, and in a few years, this king plans to build a big port in Dengzhou, and your warriors who understand water can be richer! ”
"Fight, to whom?" The Emissary stood up.
Because they really talk about the enemy there, Murowe is a poor ghost like them, so he is like a brother.
The Khitan is the enemy, but the army of the Tang Dynasty has already approached the Khitan, so there is only one possibility, and that is the Goguryeo people.
"Goguryeo!" Li Yuanxing did not shy away from saying at all: "Although Sui was destroyed by my Tang Dynasty, all the people who died in Goguryeo were our Han people, and this king and Goguryeo will not become allies." This king will not let you go to Goguryeo alone, this king will send a general, and he will also send 30,000 elites! ”
"Your Highness, how to be rich?"
"The loot you get will be yours, and you can trade with Datang. You may strike once in the spring and again in the fall. Slaves, slaves of Goguryeo, both men and women, should be young and strong. If you occupy the land and occupy the city, this king will not let you down, even if it is in Chang'an City, it is possible to give you the nobles of the Yan Dynasty a manor! ”
The aura of the Messenger is getting heavier and heavier!
"Fight! War! ”
"Set up a feast and serve good wine!" Li Yuanxing smiled and shook the arm of the envoy, he could clearly feel that the other party's body was trembling, a tribe like a wolf, it was their wish to exchange a knife for wealth. The Tang Dynasty is so powerful, they will be afraid even if they rob, but now that the Tang Dynasty is behind them, the ransacking of the feud Goguryeo is exactly what they want. (To be continued......)
PS: The weather in the last few days, really annoying.
Alas......
People can't change the sky, so they have to adapt.
