Chapter 347: Clerk

"It seems that we have to pay something, if we don't pay anything, I'm afraid these people in Datang won't talk to us about business, they avoid talking about it every day, they are used to taking advantage of it."

Lu Dongzan seemed to say it to General Huyan, and it seemed to be for himself, and at the same time, he had another idea in his heart, just to not disturb the morale of the army, so he didn't say that idea.

That idea is that Li Xiang already knows about the war on the plateau, so he is ready to contain these troops on the border, if this is the case, then it is really impossible to live a good life, I hope that the Tang side just wants to take advantage of it, although Lu Dongzan does not want to give up this benefit, but for the future of Tubo, those who should give up have to give up, but I don't know how much Datang's mouth can be full.

"Prime Minister, I understand that it is appropriate to give up some floating wealth for the sake of Tibet, but can those people in the Holy City understand? All of them are blind. ”

When General Huyan talked about those people, Lu Dongzan's eyes were all disgusted, those nobles were greedy goods, every day he thought about pouring things into his own home, and he didn't look at the real situation in Tubo now, if Lu Dongzan was the master of the compensation money, those people would definitely be the first to be unwilling, and they would have to find trouble with Lu Dongzan in the future, completely ignoring Lu Dongzan's merits.

"Now personal gains and losses are no longer important, even if they want to find me trouble in the future, it will be a matter of the future, we must now keep Tubo first, if we can't keep Tubo, then we will all become prisoners, Datang has won too many victories over the years, and they must not be allowed to have a victory in our land."

Lu Dongzan said very firmly, looking at the history of Datang over the years, since they defeated the Turks, it can almost be said that they have blossomed everywhere, and all the surrounding countries are threatened by Datang, but they Tubo can still bring a little threat to Datang, and now if they want to go to Datang to seize this opportunity, they will definitely bite it.

"So how much are we going to give? Tuyuhun's treaty subordinates remember, that almost made Tuyuhun lose the country. ”

General Huyan couldn't help but shudder, when Tuyuhun signed the agreement, he felt that he was losing a lot of money, of course, he was also a little hot, and felt that the people of Datang had really made a fortune, and now he didn't expect it to come to us so soon, this is to cut meat on our hearts.

"When the Tang Dynasty fought Xue Yantuo, the Tang Dynasty occupied their six cities, and in the end, do you know how much Xue Yantuo gave?"

Lu Dongzan is not good at saying this number by himself, but he must find some basis to do it, he can't let the lion on the Tang side open his mouth, and he can't send money casually, in case this scale is not well grasped, it will leave a huge hidden danger.

"Scrivener."

General Huyan is a military general, so he doesn't know about these things, he has a capable person under him, that is, his secretary, this guy has studied such things, especially the things between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, so he must know if he was called.

"You have studied the foreign wars of the Tang Dynasty, and answer the Prime Minister's words well, how much does Xue Yantuo supply to the Tang Dynasty every year?"

Looking at the Han clerk kneeling here, General Huyan said with some disgust, it turns out that he doesn't look down on these people who are engaged in writing and ink, and they are far less important than a soldier, but he needs this number at this moment.

"Back to the Prime Minister, according to what I have learned below, there are 3,000 taels of gold per year, 50,000 taels of silver, 30,000 heads of cattle and sheep, and the tax revenue of the two bazaars accounts for seven in the Tang Dynasty and three in Xue Yantuo."

This guy answered honestly, when he heard this number, Lu Dongzan didn't feel very much, but they have never had such a precedent in Tibet, if we were defeated, we would naturally be able to offer you an offering, but now the two sides have not fought at all, just to deal with some border conflicts, are we going to send you so many things? It's a bit of a stretch.

"From your point of view, and then you think of the tribute of these people around you to Datang, if we want to conclude an agreement with Datang, how much do you think we should give?"

It's strange to say, it is said that Lu Dongzan doesn't need to ask others about such a thing, but he just wants to see what his subordinates think, especially from the perspective of a villain, how much to give, which can be regarded as a reference for consideration.

"The little ones don't dare, our Tubo country is strong, how can we pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty? Even if it's a tribute, it should make Datang ......"

"Don't talk nonsense, you can say whatever the Prime Minister asks you, and I won't say much of this in the future."

Seeing Lu Dongzan frowning, General Huyan immediately slapped the table, this guy immediately shut his mouth, in the Tubo army, there is a group of Han people who have been giving them jobs, but the status of these people is relatively low, they can only do the work of slaves, if it is not because there are no Tubo people willing to do the recorded things, then it is estimated that they are no better than slaves, even if they have contributed to the Tubo army, but the status of peacetime is not high, and if they say that they are dead, they will die, and there is no life guarantee.

"Ask the general to be gracious, ask the general to open ......"

This guy saw that General Huyan was angry, and he was immediately frightened, when the general was angry, the knife was stained with blood, and he had seen it several times over the years, even if it was the general's own personal soldiers, he had cut two people over the years, not to mention that he was a Han man.

"Speak quickly, and answer the Prime Minister's words."

General Huyan didn't care about him, and now he also wanted to know how much money he had to give, after all, deep down in his heart, he didn't want to fight with the Tang army, especially with something that would explode, who let our heads not be made of iron!

"A small courage, five thousand taels of gold plus some cattle and sheep are enough, after all, we are different from those countries, we have never been defeated by the Tang Dynasty......"

This kid blurted out, the number turned out to be similar to what Lu Dongzan thought, five thousand taels of gold is not a small amount, one tael of gold and ten taels of silver, plus some cattle and sheep, should be able to buy their hearts, right?

"You follow me from now on."

This clerk never thought that a number he said indiscriminately would be able to make Lu Dongzan take a fancy to it, and it seems that he will be saved in the future, everyone knows that Corporal Lu Dongzan Lixian is good to the advisors in the palace and his good ......
