In three days, Li Xiang came to the prefect's yamen again.

It is said that it should be a higher-level official to hand over, but Li Xiang is in a hurry to go back, so he can only meet with the prefect.

When he saw the official documents of the Tang Dynasty, the prefect was also full of incredulity, what is the foreign affairs agency stationed in us? I've never heard of such a word.

"I'll give you a brief explanation......

Looking at the expression on the other party's face, Li Xiang can only explain slightly, otherwise, the other party will grind here for a day, I'm afraid I won't be able to understand some of the above meanings, we don't have so much time to spend here with him.

It took half a day's effort, and the prefect more or less knew the above meaning, that is, with Cao Lian as the leader, a guild hall should be set up here, and this guild hall is not private, this is appointed by the Tang Dynasty, including Cao Lian, all the people are from the Tang Dynasty, and they are all graded.

In addition to communicating with the local yamen on behalf of the Tang Dynasty merchants and expatriates, once there is something in the local country, they can also inform the Tang Dynasty through the Tang Guild Hall, which can be regarded as establishing a fast communication channel, saving you from knowing who to consult when something happens.

After hearing this, the expression on the face of this prefect can be regarded as relaxed, and it can be regarded as a little useful to us, if it is useless at all, why should you set up the Datang Hall here?

In fact, there have been similar organizations before, but they are not officially involved, all of them are self-united by those businessmen, and when they talk to the local government, they have always been in a low position, and there is no way to speak for their own rights and interests.

Now Cao Lian straightens his waist with the 20 cavalry at the door, and then he regards himself as an official of the Tang Dynasty, in his eyes, don't say that you are a prefect, even if your king comes, what can you do, Lao Tzu represents the Tang Empire.

These words were all told to him by Li Xiang, our Tang Dynasty is the Heavenly Empire, even if you and these countries are all rushing to cooperate with us, it depends on which of you is more filial.

In this era, the people of the Tang Dynasty themselves feel that they are superior, so Cao Lian's action is not completely pretended, as long as there is the court to support him, this guy dares to do anything, anyway, he just said a word, Lao Tzu is not a businessman now, Lao Tzu is an official of the Tang Dynasty.

Envoys of the Seven Grades Abroad......

The prefect pondered these words, if you want to talk about foreign envoys, then the grade should be a little higher, but the problem is that the person in front of him is a seventh-grade official, and he should be regarded as the lowest level in the Tang Dynasty.

Changsun Ze's letter was also placed next to it, of course, Changsun Ze's letter was not for him, but for the king of the country of Pi.

Changsun Ze was ordered to guard Anxi City, and he was the general of the entire southern part of Nanzhao, which was considered a prince of the Tang Dynasty, plus his father's status in the court, so Changsun Ze was one level higher than other generals, and his letter could not be disposed of casually.

"Do you have any questions?"

The explanation is almost explained, and the prefect also called several of his subordinates to compare Changsun Ze's notes, and they also judged that the letter was genuine, not to mention that all the customs clearance documents have big seals on them, and no one dares to forge this.

"This involves the relationship between my country and Datang, and there is no way to give a specific answer to this matter, so I can only send the letter to my country's capital, and I hope that Lord Huang can wait for a few days."

The prefect's eyelids turned, the person in front of him was not a simple person, not to mention that this matter was indeed beyond his ability, and the scope could only be dragged down first, as for how long it would take to go back and forth, it was a matter over there in the national capital, and it had nothing to do with us.

"There is no problem with this, but our General Changsun also has something to say, if you don't agree to our request, then we will temporarily close the border between the two countries, and the trade between the two countries will be temporarily suspended until the agreement is reached."

After hearing Li Xiang's words, the prefect immediately panicked, the border trade between the two countries is also very important, they urgently need salt and iron tools from Datang, there are also some goods to be sold to Datang, if the border is closed, it will have a far-reaching impact on the local people, which is not something he can afford.

"This matter must not be this matter, this matter must not be, and please Lord Huang can be considerate, and immediately send someone to the national capital as soon as possible, and there will be news in three days at the latest."

Seeing this guy's bearish appearance, Li Xiang also snorted coldly, don't give you something powerful, you really think Lao Tzu is playing with you.

"Then give you three days, if we haven't received a reply within three days, then we will return to Datang first, and the border between the two countries will be temporarily closed, let your court send envoys to Chang'an, when this agreement is settled, when will we reopen border trade......"

After Li Xiang finished speaking, he didn't bother to waste time here, Cao Lian just wrote down Li Xiang's every move, this is the demeanor of a great country.

Li Xiang told him before that in the face of these small countries, don't give them any face, then some things are not easy to talk about, and they should be pressed hard at the beginning, so that they know how powerful my Datang is.

At that time, Cao Lianhuan felt that it was easy to talk and talk, if you came up with a black face, why should people talk to you?

Now seeing this scene in front of him, he is completely convinced, the more you give them face, the more they don't know where the north is, they have to use the border trade to get stuck, if they want the border trade to be useless, then they have to suppress it, the threat of force, in short, we will say whatever they are afraid of, anyway, they don't want money to brag.

What's more, we are not bragging, the comprehensive national strength of the Tang Dynasty is here, not to mention the entire Tang Empire, even if it is the Nanzhao Protectorate in the south alone, it will be enough for you to vacate for half a day with some troops.

The cavalry of the prefect's yamen rushed out quickly, heading towards the southern capital, they had to have a round trip within three days, otherwise this trade would not be possible, then he, the prefect, would not know how many times he was scolded......
