However, for such a big deal in Tubo, I can't help but be not vigilant, God knows how much property Qinling brought to the Tang Dynasty this time, in any case, the important department, the relevant scientific and technological information, and the craftsmen who participated in the important secret technology need to strengthen monitoring, I will not betray the Tang Dynasty, it does not mean that others will have the same idea as me, as the saying goes, the forest is big, and there will be any bird, I am not tempted by money and beauty, and it does not mean that all the people of the Tang Dynasty are like me, so, There is a need to strengthen supervision and control.

Vigilance is vigilance, etiquette is still received, and big words are still said, however, what I am best at is to say big words and empty words to fool people, Qinling is not easy to deceive, but the problem is that the initiative is not in Tubo, and in Datang, as long as Datang understands Tubo's ambitions and pays attention to Tubo's actions with one eye, they will not be able to make big waves at this stage.

Uncle Li looked at a box of gold, several boxes of rare medicinal herbs, furs and other things, as well as countless jewelry and antiques. These things alone are worth no less than 100,000 yuan. Uncle Li couldn't help but smash his tongue and said: "It seems that this kid Qinling, but you have invested a lot of money on your virtuous son-in-law, is it that you are not tempted at all?" ”

I was very dissatisfied with Uncle Li's statement, and Uncle Li really underestimated me. "Father-in-law, where is it, the son-in-law has always regarded money as dung, and fame and fortune as floating clouds, father-in-law, you laugh very much, do you think that the son-in-law is really a rebellious villain who wants to see wealth?" I am very dissatisfied with Uncle Lee's grinning attitude, which is an insult to my character.

"Okay, okay, the old man didn't mean to make fun of the virtuous son-in-law, come here and sit down, and tell the old man, did you make that kid in Qinling suffer a loss." Uncle Li finally held back a laugh and motioned for me to sit down.

"Father-in-law Shengming, the son-in-law only agrees to allow Qinling to mediate and deal with it fairly, and will never take sides, all the gifts given by Qinling are here, and the son-in-law will not take a penny." I'm serious, in fact, there are more than these things that Qinling gave me, but the things sent by Qinling are sent in private, there is no gift list, and it can't be put on the table, so it's also bright for us to eat a little kickback.

"Hehehe, it's rare that a virtuous son-in-law has a heart, even if you accept it all, what's the matter, the old man is the king of a country, and he won't covet some money." Uncle Li reluctantly played with a green jade knife and said to me. For Uncle Li's face-saving words, I just think of a fly buzzing in my ear, although it is annoying, I am absolutely merciful, and I will not smash the fly swatter on Uncle Li's mouth that keeps opening and closing.

---------------------------------------------------- "However, the son-in-law thinks that even if my Tang Dynasty prevents Tubo from annexing Zhangxiong this time, Tubo will not be reconciled, and they will definitely find excuses to pull out the nail of Zhangxiong when our dynasty is at war with Goguryeo." ”

Uncle Li nodded, frowned, put the green jade knife back in its place, clapped his hands and sat on the couch: "How about Zhangxiong's side, the results of these discussions with Zhangxiong should also be very successful, right?" Uncle Li's words are a bit of a pun, but it doesn't matter, Uncle Li has eaten a lot of kickbacks from me, so I said calmly: "It is not a secret that the son-in-law has a very close relationship with the Tibetan envoys, Prince Zhangxiong has repeatedly reminded the son-in-law in private, not to be deceived by the rhetoric of the Tibetans, but in this way, our negotiations with Zhangxiong have gone much smoother, and Xiangxiong is willing to exchange 10,000 horses, 20,000 furs, 20,000 cattle, and 50,000 sheep for 20,000 sets of Datang standard armaments. 20,000 bows and crossbows, and a number of other instruments......"

"This business is done!" Uncle Li's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he was very excited, you know, the price of horses at the moment is extremely high, ordinary horses, can be exchanged for 40 pieces of silk, and a horse of silk is converted into about 500 yuan, and 500 yuan is not a small amount in ordinary people's homes, a bucket of rice is only sold for 5 yuan A horse of silk or 100 buckets of rice is about ten stone of rice, one stone is about 59 kilograms, and ten stone is 590 kilograms of rice, which is enough for a family of three to eat for a year. It should be said that it is not a small number. Forty horses of silk are about twenty times, which is equivalent to the purchasing power of **10,000 yuan, not to mention buying a horse and buying a car. What's more, if it is a good horse, the value is at least three to five times that of an ordinary horse, or even ten times more, that is to say, 10,000 good horses alone are equivalent to nearly one million yuan, plus 20,000 furs, 20,000 cattle, and 50,000 sheep, after being converted, it is already equivalent to Datang's tax income for nearly a year, how can this make Uncle Li not moved?

And Datang has 20,000 sets of armaments, which is only about 200,000 yuan at a discount, plus 20,000 crossbows and equipment, etc., which is only about 200,000 yuan, that is to say, this single business alone has made Datang almost get 1.5 million yuan of income in vain.

Uncle Li may not have thought that such a high profit could be obtained from reselling weapons, although he did not say it, but it can be seen that next time there is such a good thing, Uncle Li will definitely fully support such an economic behavior.

"It seems that Zhangxiong is indeed in danger, but it doesn't matter, I have already released the rumors, and the queen who wants to come to the East Woman Country should not be short-sighted, and when the time comes, I will naturally be able to see the difference." Uncle Li proudly continued to talk, I accepted the money from Tibet, and naturally I also wanted to do some things for them, such as revealing some details about the negotiations with Zhangxiong that I thought should be revealed, and of course, Li Geda's personal friendship with me made me also relay a lot of information about Tibet to Li Geda.

Then, the negotiations between the envoys of the two countries began, and I was the third party in this negotiation: the agent of Datang, who also belonged to a witness, coordinated the contradictions and emotions between them, so that they would not be too excited, always greet each other's female relatives, and take actions and verbal insults to the other party's personality and hostages.

To put it simply, I, the referee in the boxing ring, both fighters stuffed me with big red envelopes, and privately promised that if I could favor them to win, there would be more economic bribery, etc., and I was very fair and strict to judge their attack points, the number of times they knocked down the opponent, and then, I would tell the fighter who was temporarily at a disadvantage, where the opponent's weakness was, so that the scene became more and more intense, and the game was very exciting, which proved a common saying, regardless of whether the cow killed the horse, or the horse killed the cow, It's none of my business, anyway, I'll boil water and put it in a pot and wait, there's always meat to eat. The winner of this strange boxing match will be Datang, the referee.

---------------------------------------------------- Qinling and Li Geda are very grateful for my secret kindness, whether it is true or false, I have always given my heart, and it can be regarded as worthy of the gifts and personal friendship of Li Geda and Qinling. After nearly 20 days of difficult and fierce negotiations, under the mediation of my colleagues and you, under the prestige of the powerful national strength and armament of the Tang Dynasty, and under the repeated blows of the unfavorable news that the queen of the Eastern Female Kingdom, Tang Jianzuo, sent the minister Tang Jianzuo to the Tang Dynasty to claim the title of minister, Qin Ling could only accept the mediation of the Tang Dynasty very unwillingly, because the appearance of the envoys of the Eastern Female Kingdom in the Tang Dynasty represented that the Eastern Female Kingdom had been in step with the Tang Dynasty. Zhangxiong is by no means without the strength of a war, and there is definitely no way to end the war in a short time, and this will also anger the Tang Dynasty, the suzerainty that has already expressed its attitude, then, if the Tang Dynasty soldiers go out of Longyou and join forces with the Dongnu Kingdom, the domestic army is empty of Tubo.

There is no way to resist the army of the Eastern Female Kingdom that has a feud with Tubo, not to mention the addition of the more elite and warlike elites of the Tang Dynasty, the ending is likely to be the benefit of the Eastern Female Kingdom, and the ending of Tubo and Zhangxiong is injured, not to mention that the ambition of Songtsen Gampo to dominate the plateau is not realized, but it is very likely to be annexed by the Eastern Female Kingdom.

Qinling and Zhangxiong signed a peace treaty, a temporary truce, to accept the mediation of the Tang Dynasty, during this period, neither side is allowed to take military action against the other side, otherwise, it will be regarded as disrespect for the Tang Dynasty, the suzerain, in addition, in order to thank the two countries for being so well-behaved and obedient, the Tang Dynasty decided to increase the volume of trade, and no longer restrict the export of necessities of life, and gave the lords of these two subject countries a false title, the lord of Tubo was promoted from the commander of the horse to the auxiliary general, and the king of Zhangxiong, Li Niexiu, was promoted to the champion general.

After this negotiation, Datang made a total profit of 1.7 million yuan, including the gift given by Qinling, of course, I can't count the amount of nature that I intercepted in private, and befriended with Dongnu country, for Tuyuhun who often wavered between Datang and Tubo, it can not be a heavy blow, Tuyuhun is located at the junction of the three parties, and now Dongnu and Datang are connected by economic ties, Datang has made a promise to Dongnu that within three years, 10,000 good horses will be purchased from Dongnu every year. In addition, a large number of silk, tea, porcelain, ironware, and other goods that are in short supply to the eastern women are sold to the eastern women's country every year. This tangible promise surprised and delighted the envoys of the East Women's Kingdom.
