Chapter 371: Taisun is here
Since the establishment of the Tubo State, although it is not very rich, but the imperial court has not borrowed money from the common people, and now he Lu Dongzan has said all this, these people present have begun to whisper, there are not many rich people in Tubo, because they are still practicing slavery, these people present are all the slave owners in the country, and they are the top group, if they borrow money from the rich, then none of them can escape.
When Lu Dongzan said this, Songtsen Gampo was also listening to him, usually these guys show loyalty to him every day, but now Tubo is in trouble, none of these people stand up, and they look at themselves with weak eyes, which is obviously not wanting to pay.
"That's a nice thing you say, but if food rises to an incredible level, should we all do it?"
Mrs. Wolf felt that he couldn't let Lu Dongzan take the initiative, once he took the initiative, then I'm afraid that none of us would have a good result, after all, as the largest slave owner in the country, the family's treasury was full of money.
"No matter how expensive the food is, I hope you can understand that our Tibet is now at the moment of life and death, without food can not maintain a country, without this country your wealth is useless, then it will definitely be taken away by others, you are now the richest part of Tibet, if you don't take out the money, then our country may not be able to continue."
Although Songtsen Gampo scolded Lu Dongzan, and he was still worried about this guy in normal times, but how to say this paragraph is also very reasonable, these people in front of him are the highest level of bureaucrats in Tibet, they have a huge amount of money in their hands, no matter what price the grain rises, as long as they are willing to pay, they will definitely be able to tide over the difficulties.
"Prime Minister, please don't change the subject, we are here to hold you accountable for your failure to counterinsurgency, why did you suddenly shift to the topic of asking us to pay for food? The Prime Minister's skills are really strong, if you can defeat these toasts early, why do we need to go out to buy food? Their granaries have grain, so it's time to defeat them and grab all the grain in their granaries. ”
Another big nobleman also stood up, these people seemed to have the backbone immediately, and they criticized Lu Dongzan one after another, Songtsen Gampo wanted this, but at the moment he was very disgusted with this.
Lu Dongzan is to keep Tubo, and if you keep Tubo, you can keep his position, but what about you people, as soon as you hear that you are going to pay money, you people will change the topic, who is the sinner of this country?
Lu Dongzan did not refute, but looked at Songtsen Gampo with an innocent face, after Lu Dongzan accepted the criticism, although he was dissatisfied, but he knew that Songtsen Gampo was a person with brains, and with the current form, he did not believe that Songtsen Gampo could not see who was good for the country.
"Shut up."
To everyone's surprise, Songtsen Gampo turned out to be aimed at them, didn't he say it when he came? We need to review the mistakes of the Prime Minister, and we want to combat his arrogance, but now that we are doing what Zampu ordered, why are we being scolded again?
"You idiots, you don't know what is most important yet, food is our foundation, if there is no food, those slaves will rebel in an instant, including the army, no one will continue to fight for us."
After Zampu's words came out, all the people present closed their mouths, they didn't know the importance of food, but now if they want to seize food, there are two ways, one way is to exterminate these toasts, take out the grain in their warehouse, and don't have to spend a penny at that time.
The other way is to buy grain from foreign countries, as Lu Dongzan said, but if this is the case, the silver money in the treasury will definitely not be enough, and the difference in this regard is too great, so we must borrow money from some rich people.
The good thing to say is to borrow money, and the bad thing to say is to let you pay money, as long as you take out this money, you can pay it back in the year of the monkey, so in this state, if you take out this money, then I am afraid it will be equivalent to a waste, whose property is not blown by the wind, who wants to let the money go to waste?
Just as everyone was about to quarrel, there was a rush of footsteps outside.
The herald said a few words in the ear of General Huyan, General Huyan's status in Tubo is not low, and he is qualified to report directly to Songtsen Gampo, but this guy made a mistake at this time, he is used to reporting like Lu Dongzan first, and then reporting to Songtsen Gampo, there was nothing wrong in the past, but now this situation may have some problems.
"If you have anything to say, just say it."
Although Songtsen Gampo knew that he would be able to learn the news in the end, but seeing the two biting their ears, Songtsen Gampo's heart was already uncomfortable, if he couldn't move Lu Dongzan, then he had to replace this general.
Lu Dongzan also felt that the action just now was inappropriate, and motioned to General Huyan to speak out quickly, so as not to make Zan Pu unhappy.
"Zampu, His Royal Highness Li Xiang, the grandson of the Tang Emperor, is here, and he is less than five miles away at this moment."
When the people in the tent heard the news, all the people were shocked, of course they knew about the matter near the border, didn't Lu Dongzan say that it had been dealt with? But why is it here again? Did you come with a great army? When these people thought of this, many of them felt a little scared, and even shrank back.
Songtsen Gampo looked at these old nobles with some disgust, and wanted to replace General Huyan just now, but now seeing the perseverance on General Huyan's face, this person can also be regarded as an important minister of Tubo, and he can be calm when he encounters things, and he is better than those under his own hands, so let's keep him first.
"Do you want to know what you're here for?"
Songtsen Gampo was also nervous, but in front of so many people, he couldn't show it, so this guy was still very calm, but if General Huyan said to bring someone here, it is estimated that he would not be so calm.
