Xiao Rui: "......"

"Ahem, that's the truth, it's true! You just say, change the place and change you to the position of Benhou, will you agree to make peace? ”

Forehead......

Lu Dongzan sloppy eyes, shook his head and said: "There is no Hou Ye's magical powers, so I don't dare to think about it." However, since the marriage between the two countries has existed since ancient times, of course it will not be so simple, and it must be beneficial to diplomatic relations. ”

Advantage?

Xiao Rui scolded in his heart, he was really shameless! Countless times in the past few hundred years, which time was not to exchange his daughter for peace? The Han Dynasty married Wang Zhaojun to the Xiongnu because the Xiongnu were strong, and the Han Dynasty did not dare to fight, so they were forced to marry their daughters and sue for peace. Similarly, the former Sui married Princess Yicheng to the Turks, also because she couldn't beat it.

But our Datang is now invincible in the four seas, why should we marry you? You guys are really shameless!

Of course, even if Xiao Rui scolded thousands of times in his heart, he still didn't poke these out, he didn't want to tear his face, otherwise he would talk about it in vain today.

"Xiangguo just talked about kindness, hehe, isn't it that nobles forget things, does my Datang really have no kindness to Tubo? If we are ruthless and control the southwest border and prohibit your caravans from entering the Tang Dynasty, then you Tubo will not be able to eat daily necessities and materials, I am afraid that you will not even be able to eat salt. ”

You......

If it weren't for the situation, Lu Dongzan really wanted to smack the face of the guy in front of him, why don't you Datang sell us salt and daily necessities at a high price to suck the blood of my Tubo, it's not bad if we don't have a grudge, we have to be grateful to you when you say so? Do you want Bilian?

"Hehe, where is Master Hou? The two countries trade on an equal footing, and it is not a gift from one side to the other, we are poor in Tibet and need supplies, and Datang does not suffer a loss, and sells materials to us to make money. ”

Xiao Rui picked up the teacup, glanced at Lu Dongzan, and said in a dissatisfied tone: "What do you mean?" Our Datang relies on Tubo to make money? ”

This is clearly confusing concepts. Of course, he didn't say the second half of the sentence: You go out to inquire, except for you in Tibet, the surrounding countries, who of us doesn't make money? Doing business with you and earning your money is a chance for you, don't be ignorant!

Lu Dongzan waved his hand and said: "Of course not, I just think that this is equal trade and does not involve kindness." ”

Oh......

Xiao Rui put down the teacup and pulled a long note, "It turns out that the Tubo people think so." Anyway, Ben Hou has newly received the title of household squire, and he is worried that the country's trade reform has nowhere to start. Then let's start here, from now on, the Tang Dynasty will cut off the trade route with Tubo, and will no longer be allowed to communicate with each other, and if there is a crime, he will be imprisoned immediately. ”

"We, Datang, will no longer make money from the people of Tubo in the future, lest people scold us vampires behind our backs. I believe that the great Tibetan people can live a beautiful and happy life with their own talents and efforts. ”

Burst......

Lu Dongzan almost vomited blood, is this a mind reader?

"Hou Ye is angry, why is this so? That's not what I mean under ......"

Xiao Rui smiled: "Of course, of course Ben Hou believes that Xiang Guo is a good person, and of course he won't feel that Ben Hou is blackmailing you." ”

"Please also ask Xiangguo to go back and tell the lord of Songtsen Gampo in your country, please believe that our Datang is really not short of money, and the surrounding countries are rushing to do business with us, and the materials we produce are in short supply, so Tubo can't take care of it for the time being, sorry!"

I'm ......

Lu Dongzan really wants to strangle this thing, are you apologizing? Hongguoguo's coercion is like a spring breeze as you say, and the smiling tiger is not as thick as you, right?

"Master Hou, if the trade route between the two countries is cut off, aren't you afraid of the people below making trouble?" Lu Dongzan said tentatively.

The people are in rebellion?

Xiao Rui's face fell, "Xiangguo is scaring Benhou?" ”

Lu Dongzan shook his head and said: "No, I am here to remind Lord Hou that it doesn't matter if the Tubo trade route is cut off, the merchants of the Tang Dynasty lack a way to make money, will it be ......?"

Xiao Rui laughed and said: "I have never heard that the people rebelled, and there is no time when a businessman can turn the sky upside down." Xiangguo still manages his own people, don't come to our Datang to make trouble because of the chaos in your life, Ben Hou has already sent people to increase the troops in the southwest, all Turkic warriors, the border defenders will no longer be as merciful as before. ”

Turkic warriors? Lu Dongzan was shocked, he knew that Datang had defeated the Turkic Jieli, but he never expected that the Tang Dynasty would actually absorb Jieli's territory and dare to recruit Turks into the Tang Dynasty to join the army? Those people are different from the people of the Tang Dynasty, bloodthirsty and warlike, and Tubo really can't bargain.

"Lord Hou......"

Lu Dongzan wanted to say something more, but Xiao Rui had already gotten up, "The deal is not benevolent, since Xiangguo is in a hurry to go back, then Benhou will not stay." Come, send off. ”

Li Junxian strode in, "Xiangguo, please!" ”

I'm ......

Lu Dong reluctantly moved out, and couldn't help but ask: "Hou Ye, before Hou Ye said that he wanted to do a private deal with Tubo, I don't know what the specific deal is?" ”

Xiao Rui waved his hand and said: "It's nothing, my Xiao family caravan wants to open up the trade route of Tubo, and wants to use some handicrafts and simple manufacturing to go to Tubo to do some small business, and by the way, buy some local products, such as medicinal materials." I heard that the medicinal materials brought by Xiangguo's envoy were sold at a sky-high price in Chang'an, hehe, but unfortunately the amount is too small, not enough for Benhou to open the furnace once. ”

What??? The previous batch of medicinal materials was taken away by Master Hou? No wonder it's so lavish?

Lu Dongzan exclaimed.

Then I regretted it, and after pulling for a long time, you just said the purpose, you want to go to us to buy medicinal materials for trading, how can I disagree? What are you talking to me about trade routes and state affairs? I thought you were going to suppress Tibet.

"Ahem, Master Hou, what medicinal materials do you need, why do you need to send someone to buy them? Just open the list, and we will send someone to send it to your house. ”

Xiao Rui didn't seem to hear it, Li Junxian urged: "Let's go Xiangguo, the Hou Ye invited you to come over to discuss the deal, not for you to give him gifts, who in the whole country doesn't know that my Hou Ye is the most incorruptible?" ”

Buying and selling?? To buy and sell! Lu Dongzan immediately reacted, where will he go again.

"Master Hou, misunderstanding, pure misunderstanding, I misunderstood what Master Hou meant just now. Why don't we talk about it again? How can we refuse to buy and sell, everyone gets rich together? ”

Xiao Rui sneered: "Xiangguo, get rich together?" ”

"Oh...... Bah, no, it's Datang, it's Hou Ye who brought me to Tubo to make a fortune, you can rest assured, we must cherish this opportunity, grateful to Datang, grateful to Hou Ye...... "For the industries that Xiao Rui said, Lu Dongzan's eyes lit up, where do you dare to pull?" Directly became a low voice.
