"You said that the Tubo spies we caught have nothing to do with your Tubo, right?"

"Yes, yes, absolutely it doesn't matter!" Several Tibetan envoys had the same head as a chicken pecking rice, and in their hearts, they scolded Kurban for being bloody.

I usually see that your kid is righteous and awe-inspiring, but I didn't expect that he was a traitor, and he actually took refuge in Datang, and sold us so thoroughly.

This news was transmitted back to Tibet, and I am afraid that there will be a gap in the relationship between Zampu and Lu Dongzan.

And this is one of the goals that Tang Ping wants to achieve, the disagreement between the monarchs and ministers of Tibet is what they want to see the most.

"Well, I also understand that there will inevitably be a few scum in any country!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Several Tibetan envoys nodded frantically again, why is the Duke of Pingguo so understanding today?

But since Tang Ping said so, of course they wouldn't object.

"But to find out the scum of your country, we spent a lot this time, shouldn't we give this money?"

"No, no!"

"Although these spies really have nothing to do with us in Tibet, we still have to thank Datang for cleaning them out, of course we have to pay for it!"

If a few Tibetan envoys want to describe it, they are really smiling on their faces, and they are mmp in their hearts!

The spies in their own country have been caught, and they have to pay for them, and they have to come out by themselves!

But what's the solution? The situation is stronger than people, only to lower your head and admit it!

"Okay, give the bill to a few people, if you have any objections, you can raise it, so as not to say that we are a big Tang Dynasty and cheat your money in these small places."

"No, no, Datang has always been brilliant, how can it be ...... As...... This ......"

The chief envoy took the bill, and at first he still said in his heart, Datang is indeed very generous to the surrounding countries in terms of money, so Tang Ping just said that he asked them to pay, and they also felt that Datang just wanted to take a breath and let them pay some money.

But after taking the bill, I found that the bill was ...... Isn't it a little too long.

A Tibetan envoy next to him stretched out his head and came over: "Capture equipment wear and tear fee: 2,000 yuan...... Arrest manpower labor cost: 4,000 ...... Overtime pay: 1000 ......"

It can be said that the numbers are shocking.

The last one has a total of more than 26,000 pieces!

You must know that in the past few years, Datang's annual financial revenue was only more than 10 million yuan, and in recent years, Datang has developed rapidly, and this year's financial income is probably close to 30 million yuan.

More than 26,000 yuan is almost one-thousandth of a year's fiscal revenue.

But this is Datang, their annual financial income in Tubo is much less than that of Datang.

It is no exaggeration to say that these more than 26,000 guan account for almost a few percent of Tibet's annual fiscal revenue.

The envoy swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and then asked with bitterness, "Pingguo Gong, is this...... Isn't it a little too much? ”

Another envoy also chimed in: "Yes, it's just a few spies, how can it cost so much?" ”

"How many people say that, I'm cheating on you?" Tang Ping's eyes narrowed, and he looked over the faces of several people, and the people who saw it were shocked.

"Ping Guogong, how can this arrester still have overtime pay?"

"Hey, we are now in the Tang Dynasty Mansion, implementing an eight-hour work system, and all overtime has overtime pay, this person is going to catch it at night, and it has long been past the end of work, isn't it reasonable to calculate overtime pay?"

"And what about the cost of the supper?"

"After catching people, everyone has worked hard, isn't it normal to eat 1,000 supper?"

Normal,! An envoy complained in his heart, 1,000 to the night market, can buy up the entire night market. "Then, then the labor fee ......"

"Okay, you still think my father-in-law is cheating on your money, right?"

Tang Ping pretended to be angry: "You are still embarrassed to talk about labor fees, I put so much manpower and material resources into it, don't you need to spend money?" ”

"Oh, by the way, I myself followed the whole process, delaying me for at least a day, and everyone knows that in addition to being Ping Guogong, I am also a businessman, right? How much did I earn last month, and I forgot to count the day's lost time pay. ”

The faces of several people changed greatly, saying that Tang Pingfu was invincible, which was really not an adjective, but a fact.

The envoys of various countries in their Honglu Temple discussed it when they had nothing to do in private, and now the Tang family's industries can earn more money in a year than many countries.

If you want him to calculate the lost work expenses again, then this compensation will have to be turned up!

So the chief envoy hurriedly said: "No, Ping Guogong will never cheat us for these little money, but there are some small questions just now, thank you Ping Guogong for patiently explaining to us." ”

"So there's no doubt now, right?"

"No, not at all!" After reading this bill, they finally understood what it means to be a clever name.

The stories of corrupt officials and corrupt officials who have seen and heard in the past have made a lot of money by setting up a name, compared with today's Tang Ping's charging items, it is simply a little ghost seeing the king of Yama, and a little ghost seeing a big ghost!

"Okay, so how do you settle the bill?"

"We ......" the Tubo envoy was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "We are a few envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty, where can we have so much money, this matter has to be reported to Zampu ......"

"Okay, everyone is familiar with it, I'll believe you for the time being, but this interest ......"

"Give, we will also pay interest!"

Looking at the envoy carefully putting away the long list of bills, Tang Ping sighed and said: "It seems that it is not easy for you to Tubo, so many chaotic ministers and thieves have come to our Tang Dynasty to make trouble, why don't you think about solving these problems?" ”

A few envoys were speechless, how to solve it? Won't spies be sent to Chang'an in the future? That's impossible!

It's just that he can't say that, and an envoy asks, "What is the good plan of the Duke of Pingguo?" ”

"Actually, I think the main thing is that you Tubo are too poor." Tang Ping said to himself, completely ignoring the bitter gourd-faced envoys, and even added a knife: "You see that you still have to owe more than 20,000 yuan, hey......"

"To solve these problems, we still have to make money fundamentally, so our Majesty said that we want to open a few mutual markets in Tubo to trade with you."

Several envoys had a straight face, and opened a mutual market in Tibet, which was not as simple as losing money.

"I don't know Datang's mutual market, what are you going to trade with us?" The Principal asked.

"The silk silk, ironware, grain, and tea products of our Datang specialties can be traded on the mutual market."

Several of the envoys looked at each other, wondering if they had misheard.

You must know that in the past, they proposed to open mutual markets at the border, but Datang has not agreed, until now the trading model between them and Datang is that the merchants on the Tang side pull luxury goods to Tubo and sell them, and then pull the wool back.

However, this kind of open mutual market has not yet allowed people on both sides to trade freely in this way.

This time their spy plan was exposed, which was a big offense to Datang, why did Datang agree to open the mutual market again at this time?

Moreover, the things sold by the Tang Dynasty are all scarce things in Tibet, which is ...... It's unreasonable.

There must be a demon when things go wrong, usually Tubo begged Datang to open a mutual market, but now Datang took the initiative to propose, but they didn't dare to agree.

"What's wrong guys? Is it a specialty that looks down on our Datang? ”

Today's Tang Ping has been speaking very impulsively, as if with a great sense of resentment, but the more he is like this, the more empty these Tibetan envoys become.

The chief envoy hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Pingguo Gong laughed, these things are what we can't ask for in Tibet." ”

This is true, silk is nothing, and the nobles can usually buy it when they buy luxury goods, but the iron tools are different, and the mining and smelting technology of the Tubo people is more than a little worse than the original Datang, and compared with the current Datang......

Forget it, there is no comparison anymore.

In the past, Datang strictly controlled exports, and even those merchants who went to Tubo to do business sold the iron tools they carried with them at most, and smuggling was not daring.

Nahou Junji sold weapons once, and the amount was not large, but those things had already made Tubo like a treasure, and now only Zampu and the personal guards of several of the largest nobles had the right to use that batch of weapons.

And now Hou Junji's side has long been out of order.

Therefore, Tubo has an infinite yearning for the iron tools and weapons of the Tang Dynasty.

"I just don't know what the iron tools that Ping Guogong said?"

"Pots and pans, of course! I also heard that many of you people in Tubo use a broken crockpot to cook soup and drink together, we are also a country of brothers, brothers are in trouble, Datang will not sit idly by, so the iron pot or something is naturally indispensable. ”

Tang Ping's words sounded high-sounding, and then he turned his head: "Hey, you don't want to buy weapons, do you?" The one bordering Tubo seems to be basically our Datang, you ......"

"No, no, no! If you don't need weapons, the iron pot will be fine! ”

I also know that Datang will not sell weapons, an important strategic resource, to Tubo, so it would be good to have an iron pot, no matter how poor Tubo's smelting technology is, a few more iron pots can be used to refine a lot of weapons.

"Okay, I've always said, we're going to win!" Tang Ping shook hands with the chief envoy: "Isn't it good for everyone to do business and make money?" Don't keep doing those small actions that don't see the surface. Regarding the specific situation of the mutual market, the Ministry of Rites will send someone to talk to you at that time, and I still have something to do, so I will leave first. ”

"Yes, yes, what Ping Guogong said is that everyone makes money together!"

Several envoys bowed their hands in unison: "Congratulations to the Duke of Pingguo." ”

Tang Ping turned around and left with the people, and after the Wailang of the Ministry of Rites went out, he asked in a low voice: "Ping Guogong, we arrested their people this time, and we can be regarded as a loss, why do we still have such a good thing as opening up the mutual market?" ”

In his opinion, of course, it is no problem to find compensation from the other party, but it is not necessary to open a mutual market!

Now that the strength of the Tang Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, the officials of the Ministry of Rites are treating these foreign envoys, and their waists are getting straighter and straighter.

"If the mutual market is not opened, it will be difficult for our people to stay in Tibet!" Tang Ping glanced at the West: "Do you see how many spies Tubo has in our Tang Dynasty this time?" We have a lot fewer people over there. ”

In fact, it is mainly the social structure of Tibet, which is basically composed of nobles with their own tribes.

Your Tang Dynasty spies have passed, it is impossible to be a nobleman, right? But if it weren't for the Tibetan nobles, it would be difficult to get access to their core information.

Therefore, this time, Datang felt that it was better to open the mutual market and open more mutual markets in Tubo, which could be regarded as inserting more eyeliner and dark piles.

Even if you can't find out the information, when the time comes to attack Tibet, it will be much easier to learn from the Tibetan spies to sabotage first.

The official of the Ministry of Rites was also thorough, and said respectfully: "What Ping Guogong said is reasonable, our Datang is a big farming country, and now many young people are unwilling to farm but want to go out to break through, and the people we sent to run the mutual market are young adults in their twenties, and the tiger's mouth has calluses left by ordinary farming, which is also very reasonable!" ”
