"Your Majesty's transfer of a large number of horses to the Saori Country for grazing will inevitably occupy a large area of oases and pastures, which will inevitably lead to the shrinkage of the original pastures and grape plantations in the Saori Country.

"In order to be able to turn the country of Saori into a horse farm for your country to raise horses in a long-term and stable manner in the future, Your Majesty must exempt the country from paying tribute to your country in previous years, so as to reduce their burden, so as to ensure that they can take care of the horses."

When Fa Yi heard this, he immediately hesitated.

In previous years, a large number of cattle, sheep and wine from the Shazhi Kingdom to the Loulan Kingdom have reduced a lot of burdens for the animal husbandry and grape cultivation industry in the Loulan Kingdom.

If the tribute of the Shazhi State to the Loulan State is stopped, it means that in the future, these things and the Loulan Kingdom will have to be self-sufficient.

In particular, he was very fond of the fine wines produced by the Saori Country, and if the Saori Kingdom stopped paying tribute because of this, it would indeed make him feel very unhappy in his heart.

"You said that in order to ensure the stocking of horses in the Shazhi Kingdom, as long as they cancel the tribute they have been paying all along, won't the source of cattle, sheep and wine in our Loulan Kingdom be reduced a lot in the future?

"Just to let them raise horses, just cancel such an important tribute, wouldn't my Loulan Kingdom lose more than it gains?"

Shao Xi had already guessed that Fa Yi would react like this, this insatiable guy wanted both bear paws and fish, wanted to throw the burden of Western horses to Sha Zhi Guo, and did not want to stop Sha Zhi Guo from providing to Loulan State.

This bottomless greed made Shao Xi secretly despise in his heart, but in order to achieve his goal, Shao Xi had to find a reasonable reason to convince him, and he had to make him feel that he had taken advantage.

"Your Majesty, everything must be weighed against the pros and cons, and since a large number of Western horses have been placed in the country of Saroi for grazing, this is tantamount to relieving a great burden on your country.

"When these horses are transferred to the country of Saori, the oases and pastures of your country will be freed up, which will be of great benefit to your own husbandry and viticulture.

"Your Majesty, think about it, for many years your country has relied on the country of sand weaving for cattle, sheep and wine, this is not a good thing for your country itself, only if your country itself takes these into your own hands, what accidents in the country will not affect your country in the future.

"Turning the country of Sori into a horse farm for your country to raise these eliminated war horses is also tantamount to limiting the ability of the country to support itself.

"Isn't it a good thing to kill two birds with one stone, not only should they not be allowed to pay tribute, but they should also open up their water sources and salt lakes to them in the future, so that they will become more dependent on your country?"

On the surface, Shao Xi's idea to Fa Yize was to completely reduce the Shazhi Kingdom to a horse farm for the Loulan Kingdom to raise war horses, so that they would lose their original animal husbandry and grape cultivation.

At the same time, give Sha Zhiguo some sweetness, so that they are willing to take over the useless burden of freeing war horses for Loulan Kingdom.

The Loulan Kingdom could take this opportunity to use the oases and pastures that were originally stocked with eliminated war horses to develop its own animal husbandry and grape planting, which was tantamount to further weakening the national strength of the Shaweaving State and strengthening itself.

Doing so will not only make Sha Zhiguo grateful to Loulan Guo, but also attach himself to Loulan Guo.

These things seem to be reasonable, and they all seem to be for the good of Loulan Country.

But there is a premise for all this, that is, these eliminated war horses that the Sha Weaving Kingdom has stocked for the Loulan Kingdom are completely unprofitable.

Just like it was originally in Loulan, it made it a serious burden for the Shazhi country, and under the weight of this burden, the Shazhi country lost its original animal husbandry and viticulture.

Stocking these worthless eliminated war horses will only make them more dependent on Loulan for survival.

But if these horses can become an important source of economic resources for the country of Saroi, so that these horses can become real money, then the situation is different.

The Western Turks send a large number of eliminated war horses every year, but they are all exchanged for tribute by the Loulan Kingdom!

It was directly handed over to the Saori Kingdom, which was tantamount to doing a business without capital, which was much faster than grazing cattle and sheep and planting grapes, and made more money.

Coupled with the fact that Loulan Country opens its water sources and salt lakes every year due to the grazing of horses, Shaweaving Country can be said to be lying to make money!

This large number of horses was a burden in the Loulan Kingdom, but it became a treasure in the Shazhi Kingdom, and the Shaweaving Kingdom could use it to secretly accumulate wealth, and even use the ready-made horses in their hands to secretly develop their own military strength.

At some point in the future, Sha Zhi Guo will become an unexpected grave digger in Loulan Kingdom, and this tool for digging pits is what Lou Lan Guo personally delivered to Sha Zhi Guo today.

These are all later words, but at the moment, it seems that Shao Xi's ideas for Fa Yize are indeed all beneficial to Loulan Kingdom.

Fa Yi would never have imagined that Shao Xi's seemingly good strategy for Loulan Guo actually had more other purposes behind it.

Shao Xi thinks far, but Fa Yi may not be able to think that far.

Hearing Shao Xi say this, Fa Yi also felt that this was indeed the case, but for the sake of safety, he did not immediately adopt Shao Xi's opinion, but planned to discuss it with his ministers again.

The annual tribute of the Shazhi Kingdom not only benefits him, but also the elite class of the entire Loulan Kingdom is like a blood-sucking leech, desperately plundering the wealth of the surrounding small countries.

Shao Xi saw that Fa Yi was hesitating about something, and at this time, he had to stand in his position and push him forward again.

"Your Majesty must be worried that the annual tribute paid by the Saori Kingdom to your country will be cancelled, and the water source and salt lake will be opened to it instead, which will affect the interests of the various nobles, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make a trade-off, right?"

Shao Xi's words are exactly what Fa Yize's heart is talking about.

Shao Xi's previous suggestion was indeed intended for him to be adopted, as the king of Loulan Kingdom, the entire kingdom was his, and of course he was willing to implement what was beneficial to the kingdom.

However, these noble ministers under his command are more concerned with personal interests, and he must promote this matter on the premise of taking into account the interests of many powerful people.

Otherwise, all he heard would be a chorus of opposition.

Although he is the king, the affairs of the entire Loulan Kingdom depend on the support of these powerful ministers, and if he offends these people, he, the king, will not be able to sit back and enjoy comfort.

A kingdom is actually a huge interest group, although he is the leader of this group and holds the greatest benefits, but the interests of others are also what he must consider.

Otherwise, he, the leader, would only become a bare-bones commander, so he had to decide this kind of thing carefully.

At this time, the question raised by Shao Xi was exactly what he had the most scruples in his heart at the moment, since Shao Xi could take the initiative to raise it, it seemed that he must have thought of a solution for himself.

Therefore, after hearing Shao Xi's words, Fa Yize's eyes suddenly lit up.

He wanted to know how Shao Xi would solve the biggest problem of distributing benefits for himself after making the previous suggestion.

"You can ask that, it seems that you have already thought of a solution, why don't you come and tell me, if this solution is feasible, it will solve the biggest problem."

Shao Xi had actually thought about this plan on the way from Sha Zhi Kingdom to Loulan Kingdom, in addition to convincing Fa Yize, he had long thought that these noble lords of Loulan Country would definitely become a big obstacle for him to promote this matter.

Then we must find a way to solve these obstacles, and at the same time dig further holes for Loulan and secretly weaken its national strength.

What's the best way to do that?

Based on Shao Xi's understanding of history, the biggest reason for the final collapse of a country or a dynasty is the annexation of land and the division of the power that owns it.

Although this historical experience is mainly aimed at the agricultural history of the Central Plains, it has to be said that even the history of nomads has been a constant struggle for land.

Land is the basic element of the survival and development of all peoples, so the dismantling of a dynasty or state can only lead to serious land annexation within it, and the formation of forces with large tracts of land owned by all parties.

In the end, these forces will fight each other for land, and the dynasty or country will be completely torn apart.

If there is an external force at this time, the speed of its collapse is completely beyond imagination.

This kind of thing is already numerous in history, but many monarchs will gradually fade this sense of crisis as it is passed down from generation to generation, until it is too late to redeem it when the crisis finally breaks out.

Therefore, Shao Xi plans to take advantage of this opportunity to dig a pit for Loulan Kingdom and bury this thunder, and when the Jingyuan Empire advances westward in the future, it may be the time when Loulan Kingdom explodes.

"Your Majesty, it is not difficult to settle this matter.

"Now that all the horses that have been eliminated have been stocked on the oases and pastures of the Sorian Country, the land that was originally used for grazing horses in your country and now used for grazing and growing grapes always needs someone to take charge of it.

"It would be better to divide the land among the noble ministers to make up for the loss of the benefits they had received from the worship of the Saori Kingdom in previous years.

"With these lands, they have the right to do their own thing, and it is up to them to decide whether they want to graze or plant on the land, which not only solves the troubles, but also demonstrates the generosity and mercy of His Majesty."

Hearing Shao Xi's suggestion, Fa Yi actually hesitated.

As the king of Loulan Kingdom, he has always believed that he is the owner of the entire land of Loulan Kingdom, if he divides all these lands to those powerful people, wouldn't it be equivalent to cutting meat from his body to feed them?

But looking back, these magnates are also under their own control, as long as they can control these magnates, then the land under the hands of these magnates is also under their own control, but in a different form.

The most important thing is that Shao Xi's previous proposal to turn Sha Zhiguo into a horse farm for horses was too tempting for him.

Throwing off this heavy burden so that his country's land can be used effectively, generating more wealth, and increasing the royal tax revenue felt much easier and more reliable for him than forcing the Saori country to pay tribute to him every year.

After all, under the oppression of the Sand Weave Country, the people are not very motivated in terms of grazing or planting, so it has always been a trouble to ask the Sand Weave Country to pay offerings every year.

If, according to Shao Xi's suggestion, the country of Shazhi is reduced to a horse farm, and the land of his own country is allocated, it will stimulate the enthusiasm of these magnates for the use of land.

It is more worry-free to levy taxes from various places every year than to demand offerings to the country of Saori, and the benefits and benefits obtained may be more in comparison.

Although Shao Xi's suggestion made Fa Yize's heart faintly worried, driven by interests, he still selectively ignored these hidden dangers.

And Shao Xi firmly grasped this mentality of Fa Yize.

When the benefits outweigh the risks, people like Fa Yize are often blinded by the interests and ignore the existence of risks.

Because this risk does not explode quickly in a short period of time, but gradually accumulates over a long period of time, until those hidden dangers that were previously ignored gradually accumulate into a huge crisis.

This kind of crisis will completely erupt at a certain time and under the stimulus of a certain event, and it will form a fatal blow to a dynasty or country.

And before that, as long as there are enough benefits as temptation, people will ignore these seemingly non-existent hidden dangers.

Especially for a greedy person like Fa Yize, he will only pay more attention to the immediate benefits and benefits, just like gamblers in order to win the wealth on the table in front of them, they will not consider the long-term losses that gambling itself will bring to themselves.

Immediate benefits can make many people impulsive and reckless, and this happens to be exploited by those who are willing to give up immediate interests for the sake of long-term gains.

Therefore, those who are greedy for immediate gain will never be the final victor.

Shao Xi's suggestion still moved Fa Yize, and he gently clapped his palms to express his appreciation and gratitude to Shao Xi.

said happily: "Your method is really good, it really solves all the troubles, and it can bring a lot of benefits."

"But how can we be sure that the land that has been allotted to the noble ministers will not become another trouble in the future?"

Shao Xixin said, sure enough, this guy is still worried about the hidden dangers formed by those nobles after they own land.

It seems that although he can't tell what the hidden danger is, he has realized in his heart that the annexation of land and the formation of various forces may turn into some kind of trouble in the future.

What to do at this time is to reassure him that this worry is unnecessary.

"Your Majesty's worries are nothing more than that these nobles will pose a threat to Your Majesty's status after they own their own land, but in fact, Your Majesty is too worried.

"As long as the land allocated to them is not lost, they will not have any dissent towards Your Majesty, so as long as Your Majesty promises that the land allocated to them will be passed on from generation to generation and will not be taken back, they will naturally guard their land with peace of mind.

"As long as there is no conflict between Your Majesty and them in terms of fundamental interests, how can they become a trouble for Your Majesty?"

Shao Xi said this, but what he thought in his heart was that the hereditary inheritance of the land was an important reason for the formation of the separatist force, as long as the separatist force was formed and strengthened, you as the king would be hollowed out in the future.

At that time, the Loulan Kingdom would be vulnerable.
