Chapter 316: Supporting each other, it's really heartless
After inquiring about Cheng Yanjin's personality, Lu Dongzan finished eating and left the restaurant happily with his son.
How could he not be happy?
It turned out that this general of the Tang Dynasty, the dignified Lu Guogong, and Man Chang'an all knew what kind of person he was.
Muddy!
Follow one's heart!
Except for when His Majesty was angry and furious, he didn't dare to provoke him, and he was not afraid at all.
Anyone dares to scare me!
Such a guy, although you need to pay attention when dealing with him, especially when doing business, you can't mess with him......
But if you think about it from another angle, it's also a great partner to work with.
Don't say anything else.
Just exchanging horses, cattle and sheep for wine, and exchanging it for much lower than the market price, is enough for him Lu Dongzan to go back to ask Zampu for credit!
There's nothing bad about it......
Lu Dongzan smiled as he walked, and said:
"Oh, we really hit the luck of this trip."
"Even if the thunder was a little scary before, but the old man sees that this Tang Guogong is nothing more than that!"
When he mentioned this, he also remembered the heavenly thunder that the envoy had seen in Chang'an last time.
That movement, that power......
Just thinking about it makes people's scalp tingle!
On Qinling suddenly turned his head and asked:
"Apa, that heavenly thunder, what did Zampu's letter mention?"
"After all, the power is terrifying......"
"If you don't prepare in advance, if we really have a conflict with Datang, I'm afraid we will be caught off guard!"
Speaking of this, Lu Dongzan didn't blame him for raising other people's ambitions to destroy his own prestige.
The horror of the thunder is obvious to all.
There is no nonsense about Qinling.
After a moment of thought.
A smile appeared on Lu Dongzan's face.
"Don't you say I didn't think of it yet."
"That heavenly thunder corroborates each other with what Lu Guogong did."
"Think about itβ"
"Lu Guogong is a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, he must know about the arrangements in the army, such as heavenly thunder and other gods, it is impossible for him not to know."
"Even we can see that the biggest threat to the thunder is that it may startle the horse, can't he see it?"
"Since there is a thunderstorm, there are only two possibilities to ask us for horses to exchange for wine."
"First, he knows about the thunder, but the thunder is not prolific, and it is even likely that for some reason, it cannot be used in the army."
"The second is that the thunder is not difficult to produce and use, but he didn't think about offering the horses exchanged from Tubo to the Tang Dynasty at all."
"Otherwise, he worked hard to change horses with Tubo, and in the end, if the two sides really clashed, a thunderbolt would go down, and his horses would be gone."
"A fool would do such a thing!"
"Either way, it's not a bad thing for us!"
Lu Dongzan analyzed it, and listened to Qinling nodding again and again!
Makes sense!
Either Cheng Yanjin didn't think about going to the battlefield with the horses he got in exchange for business, or the heavenly thunder of the Tang Dynasty had certain conditions for use.
Who knows about such a ghostly technique?
Anyway......
That's all good!
Lu Dong Zanmo rubbed his chin and said with a smile:
"Not bad, not bad."
"Earlier, Zampu heard that Datang had such strange things as heavenly thunder, and he was still a little worried......
"Now the old man thinks that there is probably no big problem with the thunder."
"Otherwise, even if that Duke Lu Guogong won't give the horses to the Tang Emperor, he will definitely not dare to open a horse farm on the side."
"In case of a dispute between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, and the area around his horse farm is blown up by thunder, wouldn't it be a bamboo basket to draw water?"
On Qinling immediately said excitedly:
"Then Apa, let's go find Lu Guogong, right?"
"Just according to the price he gave, don't press it! When it comes to price, there doesn't seem to be much to talk about! β
Or ...... The horses we give are a little inferior, so it's okay. β
Hearing this, Lu Dongzan glared at his son fiercely!
He lowered his voice, hating that iron does not make steel:
"Doing business with people like Lu Guogong, do you still want to cheat and play tricks?"
"He's already giving out profits!"
"If it is found that he gave a bad horse, just ask about him today, do you think he will still cooperate with us?"
"How many times have I told you, take a long-term view!"
"Don't think about taking advantage every day, if he finds out, this channel will be gone, do you know!"
In fact, about this Zhenguan ten years of spring, Lu Dongzan has other ideas.
Although he was also of aristocratic origin...... However, due to age and qualifications, as well as the connections related to these two, it is still not enough to see in the Tubo royal court.
If he can have a good relationship with one of the founding princes of the Tang Dynasty, whether as an envoy or as a Tibetan nobleman, this will be a strong buff bonus for him.
That's a righteous prince, with real power and military exploits! Not the kind of straw bale that inherits the title!
Such a person, not to mention other benefits for the time being, just talking about Cheng Yanjin's status with Tang Emperor Li Shimin is beyond the reach of ordinary people!
Think about it here.
Lu Dongzan looked at his son who was scolded and didn't dare to look up, and his tone slowed down.
"I can't come forward with this."
"You don't have much presence in the mission compared to me, and it's the first time you've seen him."
"It's better for you to talk to him."
"I've done enough for this trip......"
"I should give you some, too."
Hearing his father's words, Non Qinling raised his head in surprise.
Father is about to start paving the way for him!
He hurriedly nodded like a chicken pecking rice:
"Okay Apa, the child will live up to the trust!"
Lu Dongzan waved his hand:
"Okay, go back to the inn and clean up yourself, and hurry up to talk to that Lu Guogong about serious things!"
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Lu Guogong Mansion.
Now, Lu Heng and the others have left, and there are only two people in the house, Cheng Yanjin and Cheng Chumo.
Cheng Chumo looked at his father and asked tentatively:
"Dad, what are the conditions you and Lu Heng are talking about?"
"This horse collected from Tubo must be given to the imperial court."
"In addition, in the spring of the tenth year of Zhenguan, Lu Heng also sent it directly from the workshop......"
"To put it bluntly, neither end of the two ends has much to do with us."
"But we have both men and strength, not only do you have to deal with the Tubo people, but you may also have to send someone to talk to them and receive the horses."
"What are you trying to do?"
Cheng Yanjin glanced at his son, only feeling that this stupid son inherited his violent temper, but did not inherit his old Cheng's brain.
Tut.
It's a fool too!
He shook his head and said:
"You know the."
All the people in the world are virtuous, and they always feel that their sons don't understand anything.
Cheng Chumo was also used to being scolded, and asked with a shy face:
"Then you'll have to explain a thing or two to me, right? What if I have to do it for you? β
"Dad, don't sell it!"
Cheng Biting Jin snorted coldly and said lightly:
"In Lu Heng's words......"
"This, it's called the middleman to make the difference!"
