Chapter 401: At least half of the credit

Wing Lung four years.

After the steam engine was ready, Datang also began to continue to implement the separation.

Western Regions, Zhao Guo, and Li Huanwen are now completely gaining a firm foothold and ......

This slave business or something is also doing well.

In order to avoid making people look at themselves as if they are a little unvirtuous and benevolent.

After Li Huanwen incorporated the Turkic tribes, he did not force them all to do the work of plundering the population.

It's how to say it.

Voluntary.

If you want to be richer than everyone else, then you go and plunder.

In a word......

When you come back from the plunder, someone will pay for it.

Some were sold to the four towns of Anxi.

Some were sold to Persia.

There are even some that were sold to Tianzhu.

It's a long way off, though.

But......

Don't forget, in Li Huanwen's team, there is a businessman.

Anyway......

As long as it can make money, then even if it is a long way, what is the problem?

And......

This business is not a road that goes straight to the black.

Li Huanwen can also cooperate with merchants in the Western Regions.

Merchants like Zhaowu Jiu, give them slaves, and then distribute them little by little.

Of course!

There must have also been sold to Datang.

It's just that......

If this amount is used, it may not be as much as in the Western Regions.

And......

Those who can almost be sold here, it should be said that they are the best of the best.

Otherwise......

There is no need to spend so much money to bring people to Chang'an or even Luoyang.

And then......

The nobles of the Tang Dynasty, or some wealthy businessmen, began to compare with these.

All I can say is......

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, no, it is a fight for face.

Moreover......

Think about it, if you want to bribe anyone, then sending someone else such a beautiful slave also shows that your sincerity is good.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Datang is the last peak of slavery.

Of course!

This must not be blamed on Li Chong.

Because......

Even if there was no Li Chong, they would have done it originally.

For countries such as the Falat State and the Persian State, this purchase of slaves is a good helper to restore production and increase the population.

Sometimes, slavery does not mean that there are only sex things, slavery is actually a productive force.

For example......

In some handicrafts, yes, as long as you take care of the slaves, she can produce you all kinds of beautiful fabrics.

So why not?

Under the flickering of Li Huanwen's merchant team, the country of Rak and Persia can almost be said to have become the largest customers for the purchase of Slavic slaves.

The slave trade on the western side was booming.

Naturally, it also attracted the covetousness of some people.

You say, for example, the Uighurs.

In the past, the Uighurs would have migrated back and forth, and sometimes, they would trade and make money in the steppes.

It's just that......

After all, the Uighurs were not very powerful at first, so they could only develop obscenely.

Now I heard that the slave trade was so lucrative, and ......

The people of the original Western Turks, as well as some of the tribes of the Eastern Turks, were able to eat hot soup cakes all at once, so they still have it!

After hearing the news that Zhao was able to provide a steaming soup cake to their nomadic tribe, it can only be said that this time the Uighurs unknowingly migrated their own people.

And then the words......

Of course!

They will not do such immoral things as the abduction and sale of slaves, and the main thing is that it is too dangerous.

After all, if you go to human trafficking, you have to fight, and it's going to kill people.

The population of the Uighurs was not very large, and it could only be said to be insignificant compared to that of the Eastern and Western Turks.

This war, forget it!

But!

They want to eat soup cakes too!

You say, what should I do?

Let's be honest......

You don't want to contribute, and you still want to eat soup cakes, so Li Huanwen can't help it.

unless you exchange your cattle and sheep.

Merely......

Now Zhao itself produces cattle and sheep, and there is no shortage of your Uighurs.

Simply......

Li Huanwen asked them to escort the caravan.

The Uighur leader had no idea that Li Huanwen was also trying to attract him into the trap.

Ask ......

If your people can eat soup and cakes every day, then they can go back to live a hard life in the future?

Therefore......

Sometimes, Li Huanwen also has to sigh that the reason why the Northwest of the Tang Dynasty can be so peaceful and tranquil today is at least half of his credit.

But now Li Huanwen is also facing the problems of Liao at the beginning.

That is, the population of other Turkic tribes is too large, and the Han people are too small.

In itself, Li Huanwen planned to unite the Han Chinese with those Slavic slaves.

Can this combination ......

In the end, when he was born, he didn't look like a Han person.

It's ugly to death.

It's not even as good as combining the Han and Turkic people.

Li Huanwen could only give up.

It's still a combination of Han people and Han people.

No wonder when he sent slaves to the prince and the prince, the prince and the prince didn't want it directly.

Didn't he already know?

Probably, this will always be a piece of Li Huanwen's heart.

Even now the Turks are very obedient and obedient to them.

But he still felt that only the Han people were the most loyal and reliable.

For now......

The Han population of this Zhao State is actually more than 100,000.

Merely......

Li Huanwen felt that it was not enough.

After all, hundreds of thousands, changed to Datang, that is, the level of several counties combined.

On the contrary......

Even the Uighurs were living a good life.

There is nothing more difficult now than the remnants of the Eastern Turks who still insist on staying in Monan.

Of course!

Due to the reduction of part of their population, now, the per capita available pasture has become larger, relatively speaking, even if it is not as good as in Li Huanwen, but at least, it is still much better than when the population was large before.

The Eastern Turks once gave Li Chengqian a dismissal, saying that those tribes who did not go back would be given their territory to other tribes.

Li Chengqian did not disagree.

It's just that......

Li Chengqian didn't know what they were trying to do.

Ask the other party, why do you have to come back when you have a good life?

In fact......

These remnants of the Eastern Turks are also a little regretful to be honest.

But it can't be helped!

Now that the arrows have been fired, there is no turning back.

And......

Maintaining one's own rule is the most important thing.

Even though......

The price of this is that you can't eat and drink spicy food in Zhao Kingdom.

The current Eastern Turks are more or less isolated and helpless.

Li Huanwen also rewrote a letter to Li this year, reporting on the current situation in Zhao State.

Li Chong felt ......

It's a good move.

It can be used continuously, and it must continue to be used for the Eastern Turks, because in this way, the entire Eastern Turks will slowly begin to disintegrate because of this.
