100,000 catties, steel!

This is not pig iron, this is steel.

The Western Turk envoy's breath became short, and he took a deep breath: "Your Royal Highness the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty, what do you need?" What can I Turkic offer you? The caravan of your Qin Palace's palace passes through our Turkic territory, and no one will dare to charge you a penny in customs duties, and there will be soldiers to escort you! ”

"No, give me twenty thousand slaves, and three thousand cavalry, and ten thousand horses. Ten more boxes of gems, and that's enough. When these are transported to Chang'an, you can pull away 100,000 catties of third-class steel. With the warrant of this king, no one will stop you. However, the king demanded that at least half of the 20,000 slaves should be Tufan slaves, and half of the slaves should be at least 3,000 white slaves. ”

Li Yuanxing's offer, the Western Turks are thinking only of two words in their hearts, that is, justice.

It's just that this kind of thing is not something that can be bought with money, even if Li Yuanxing sells it at the market price.

When the two of them said this, the deputy envoy of the Western Turks also came in with people, and after giving a salute, he sat down according to his seat.

The envoy of the Western Turks tidied up his clothes and handed over a document very formally: "Your Royal Highness the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty, we Turks very much hope to get the trade of wool, and we also have countless wool. ”

"Your wool, the shipping cost is too high!" Li Yuanxing's answer was very direct.

The envoy of the Western Turks did not react, but the envoy hurriedly explained: "We can take care of the transportation and ensure that the bid is not higher than that of the Eastern Turks." ”

"No, it's too low. It's the people who are hurting! ”

"Your Highness is benevolent!" Both the Turks and the Tang Dynasty said in unison.

"You really have the heart to cooperate, and this king also believes that you have the heart to cooperate. This king gives you a chance, and this king doesn't have much time to talk to you, so you work, this king pays for food, and guarantees what you like! Li Yuanxing took out Lu Maofeng's matching knife, tried the sharpness, and threw it back to Lu Maofeng.

It's a knife, or it's steel!

The Western Turk lieutenant did not understand. But the messenger seems to understand.

"This king has three hard conditions, and you must agree to it. Otherwise, this king will not be interested in you talking. ”

"Please make it clear to Your Highness!"

"One, after forming an alliance with Datang, you must never form an alliance with Datang's enemies. In other words, once Datang declared itself an enemy of that state. You also have to be consistent with Datang. Two. Datang provided Datang with at least 50,000 slaves every year. You get the proportions. Third, Tuyuhun is not an ally, he must surrender to the Tang Dynasty. Be a subject country of the Tang Dynasty! ”

After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, he didn't look at the people of the Turkic envoys, and walked straight back to his chair and sat down.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty, this request is too embarrassing!" At the signal of the chief envoy, the deputy envoy spoke.

Li Yuanxing smiled: "Let you pay, and I will give you back." ”

"Can I let the envoy hear the return?"

"Let's have a banquet first, and after the banquet, you have time for formal negotiations. Whether this king is fair or not, the eyes of the world will see it, and there is no need for this king to promise anything. After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, he said to Cui Yiye: "Prepare a banquet." ”

Li Yuanxing was not interested in the details or anything, and he had no obligation to talk to the Western Turks.

During the banquet, Cui Dunli asked Li Yuanxing in a low voice: "Your Highness, are the conditions just now too harsh?" You know, the Western Turks are not as strong as the Eastern Turks, and they are poorer. If you agree to these conditions, you will be tied to our Datang, and the Western Turks may not agree! ”

"You have a point, but the Western Turks have too many enemies, so they must have a firm ally. Don't mention anything about the relationship, do you remember what this king said to Feng An? ”

After Li Yuanxing reminded him, Cui Dunli thought for a while before replying: "Your Highness promises that if his wealth cannot be doubled in five years, His Highness will make up for it!" ”

"Tell the Western Turks that if their wealth cannot be doubled, the king will make it up to them for five years!"

"Your Highness, is it really possible?"

"Don't underestimate the cotton fields, they really will have 15 million mu of cotton fields, and the output of these cotton fields alone is very scary to exchange for silver money, I am afraid that at least the output of Luoyang and Henan Province will be produced. The question at hand is how the Seven Families can protect these interests and ensure the normal output of the cotton fields, and then there will be a reasonable distribution! ”

Cui Dunli nodded: "Your Highness, this matter may be discussed for a long time!" ”

"Don't rush, talk slowly. It is impossible to plant this year, Hebei Province has only newly planted there, and the harvested seeds will only be a few million mu next year, and 1,500 mu can be planted in three years, and the families will work hard enough. Li Yuanxing is not in a hurry, and he knows that he is not in a hurry.

Banquet!

Li Yuanxing had little interest in the banquet, and the Western Turks were anxious to ask some detailed questions, so naturally they were not very interested in the banquet.

The details, as His Royal Highness the King of Qin of the Tang Empire, naturally will not be said.

Just when Li Yuanxing was about to go back to his small living room to eat again, he saw a familiar figure standing at the door of the small living room, every time he saw this old guy, in Li Yuanxing's words, he was either looking for trouble for himself, or for himself, otherwise, the Tang Emperor was in trouble.

Gao Gonggong, the real powerful eunuch head of the Tang Palace.

"Lao Gao, it's almost dark this day, you come to my Qinwangzhuang, are you giving trouble to this king, or are you making trouble for yourself!"

Gao Gonggong didn't even laugh naturally, and secretly pointed to the house, and then replied: "Alas! The old slave is as unbearable as His Highness said, and the old slave is an errand runner. ”

Li Yuanxing understood, and secretly shivered, pushed open the door and entered the house.

"Brother Huang, is it so interesting to come to my Qin Wangzhuang, is it to see my father?"

Li Er pressed his throat: "It's not for my brother to make trouble for himself, or I'm here to make trouble for you Goro." ”

"Brother Huang is really good at laughing."

"About Hengyang, I asked Qin Qiong for my brother, and Qin Qiong's analysis was that he shouldn't know Hengyang's identity. So for my brother I want to know, how do you plan. As the King of Qin, how are you going to fulfill your promise! Li Er's tone was much more serious.

Li Yuanxing's face was calm: "Brother Huang, do you want to listen to the courtiers as an elder brother, or as the king of Qin, or as a courtier of the Tang Dynasty?" ”

"Gorou, you're mature!" After Li Er praised it, he continued: "Marry Ashinadur, what I get is a fine horse of tens of thousands of people, and these people can sweep the grassland for me." As long as there is enough equipment and enough food and grass, this is an iron-clad horseman! ”

"Brother Huang is smart, it just so happens that Hengyang also wants to marry!" Li Yuanxing replied with a smile. Then he also said: "As a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, the courtier thinks so." This is a very haode beginning, the result of the great integration of nationalities is that Ashinadur will only be half like the Turks in the future, and his habits will slowly become more than the Tang people! ”

Li Er also said: "His son, only the name is Turkic!" ”

"His grandson may be a Tang Dynasty man!" Li Yuanxing also said.

Li Yuanxing and Li Er looked at each other and smiled, the two of them thought of together, put politics, interests, and family affection on the same table, and began to balance.

Is it cruel?

In the past, Li Yuanxing would definitely think that he was too cruel and took family affection too seriously.

But now, Li Yuanxing knows that as the king of Qin of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Er as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, there are some things that they must consider, just like Li Er has already decided to make peace with his family, even if he sends his daughter to the grassland.

Even if your heart is bleeding and your heart is already scarred, your face must remain calm.

"Are you going to try him?" Li Er asked Li Yuanxing again.

Li Yuanxing shook his head: "Brother Huang, what does it matter if it's real or fake." Even if he knew who Hengyang was, what could he do. Hengyang is the princess of the Tang Dynasty, and he should have no less respect for him. Or, if he doesn't know, then he'll still know. ”

"I don't understand it for my brother." Li Er shook his head gently.

Li Yuanxing sighed: "Brother Huang, you can't let the imperial sister-in-law know about this matter, otherwise the younger brother will definitely be unlucky." ”

After Li Yuanxing told Li Er, Li Er smiled and gave Li Yuanxing a thumbs up: "Wulang, take good care of you for my brother!" ”

At nightfall, Li Yuanxing held a banquet in a newly built medium-sized meeting room that could seat 50 people, and invited the victorious generals to the generals. The old wolf and Ashnadur sat at the top, because they were the ones who made great achievements.

The wine and food were quickly delivered, and Li Yuanxing sat on the top and raised his glass: "The first cup, I salute the robe that died in the Tang Dynasty!" ”

"Respect the robe!" Everyone got up, raised their glasses in a serious manner, and then spilled the wine in the cup on the ground like Li Yuanxing.

...... exhale, Li Yuanxing exhaled softly, and then smiled: "Come on, change the big bowl!" ”

On the other side, in the small living room, Li Er, Wu Cao, as well as Wang Yuyan and Li Liyuan, the two princesses of Qin, and Gao Gonggong were all sitting in the small living room, looking at the screen on the projector.

"Brother Huang!" The two princesses of Hengyang and Changsha entered the house, and when they saw Li Er was very nervous, they stood on one side after giving a timid salute.

Li Er beckoned: "Come and sit next to me, you watch with your heart tonight, you have to understand Gorou's hard work, and remember to thank Gorou in the future!" ”

When Hengyang heard this, he was overjoyed.

It seems that the King of Qin has convinced the Holy Lord, which is good news. But after seeing Ashinadur on this screen, Hengyang became nervous again, she was afraid that Ashinadur would not be able to pass Li Yuanxing's test.

She didn't even know what Li Yuanxing's test would be?

"Old wolf, this cup is my king's respect for you, congratulations on winning Jian'an's first contribution!"

"Your Highness!"

The old wolf got up, gave a military salute, and poured all the large bowl of wine in his mouth into his mouth. For the old wolf, there is only pleasure, not the nervousness of drunkenness.

Li Yuanxing came to Ashinadur again, and at this time, the people in the small living room were a little expectant and nervous. (To be continued......)

PS: It's a little later, and lately I've found myself writing more and more slowly.

The main reason is that I am afraid that the plot will be out of shape.

Quality first, work hard.
