Chapter 684: Interests

Such a big victory, as long as the territory of Qiuzi is definitely not good.

Li Yue pondered on the map, the Han Dynasty's management of the Western Regions was mainly out of strategic intention to counterattack the Xiongnu.

The prosperity of the silk trade routes was only a side product.

The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade.

The Han Dynasty is groping in chaos, but Li Yue can cross the river by feeling the stones, and there are too many experiences in history to learn from.

Geographically, in order to suppress the grassland, the Western Regions are indispensable.

Economically, if you want to drive Yongliang and even Luoyang, you must pinch the trade route in your own hands.

War is the continuation of politics, and the essence of politics is interests.

This trade route may not have had much influence during the Han Dynasty, but in the Sui and Tang dynasties, it became more and more important.

Following the chain of economic interests, Liang Guo can really gain a firm foothold in the Western Regions, otherwise it will be a burden and will only drag down its own development.

Just like the ugly countries in later generations, there are so many garbage countries crying and shouting to join, and the ugly countries refuse all of them, this is the reason.

Li Yue asked envoys from various countries to draw two lines on the map, one south of the Tianshan Mountains and one north of the Tianshan Mountains.

"All countries that have been encircled by us must have a Black Cloud Army stationed, and according to the national strength, it ranges from 500 to 2,000, and the country bears all the money, grain and grass."

The envoys immediately shouted, calling out the poor and bitter one by one, and most of the envoys could speak in broken Chinese, or with an interpreter, "Your Majesty the Emperor, our country is small and weak, and we are really unable to support the king......

"Your Majesty doesn't know anything, we can't live on ourselves, and we still count on Your Majesty's benevolence and righteousness to help you ...... a couple of things."

"Poof......" Li Yue was so angry that he squirted out a sip of tea.

But if you think about it, what these people say is also true.

The royal families of the Western Regions were extremely poor and luxurious, even more so than the emperors of the Central Plains.

Most of the wealth of the land has been used to feed them, and it is difficult to take food from their mouths.

"I'm not done yet." Li Yue wiped his mouth.

Some countries are really poor, but some are fake poor and crying poor.

Of course, with the national strength of the beam, it is completely possible to force them to obey the order, but the twisted melon is not sweet, and they will be tied to the economic chain of the beam, and the interests will be the same, so that they can be long-term.

Everyone craned their necks one by one to look at Li Yue.

Without two brushes, of course Li Yue would not open this mouth.

"My expedition to the west is to open up trade routes, to sell silk, tea, porcelain, lacquerware, books and other products of the Central Plains to the west, the tax rate of all countries is uniform, half of the commercial taxes collected go to Daliang, half to you, you use this money to raise hundreds of Liang soldiers is enough, and Daliang soldiers can also ensure the security of your country."

Silk was more valuable than gold in this era.

The same is true for lacquerware, where the craftsmanship is unique and has no semicolon, and the resulting thing is brilliant and exquisite.

Porcelain and tea are still in the bud, but these things will be just needed by the world's magnates in the future, and the profits are equally huge.

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, with a suspicious look.

"Who is for and who is against?" Li Yue glanced at everyone, shamelessly, and asked them to ventilate, not really to ask for their opinions.

If you have an opinion, you can hold it back.

To be able to appear on this occasion, all of them are human spirits, and when they heard that the emperor's tone was wrong, they were silent.

"I will give you another chance, and if you don't want to join, you can quit." Li Yue's voice grew colder.

Still no one came out to be the first bird.

"Since no one objected, this matter is so decided, I will put my words here first, Daliang has no interest in your land, as long as you don't offend Daliang, you can be safe and sound in the future, and when the trade route is dredged, you will cry and shout to thank me!"

The presence of the Black Cloud Army is equivalent to ensuring the stability of their royal power.

In the future, the prosperity of the Western Regions is certain, and huge economic benefits will follow.

These people don't want to think about how much money they can make from the inn alone industry? If you want to get some other industries with color and without color, you can't think about underdevelopment.

A Western Regions in the midst of war and chaos is even more inconsistent with the interests of all parties.

In a word, economic interests, Li Yue does not mind sharing, people will betray their parents and brothers, and they will also betray their own country, but they will never betray interests, the country is the same, only interests are the most stable alliance.

But the dominance of the Western Regions, Liang must be held in his hands.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, this matter ...... It is too big, and I need to return to the king and then reply to your majesty. Dawan cowered.

In the sixth year of Taikang in the Western Jin Dynasty (285), Sima Yan sent Yang Hao to worship his king Lan Yu as the king of Dawan.

Daiguo claims to have a territory from the east to the west, to the west, to the south of the Yin Mountain, and to the desert in the north.

One of the broken is Dawan.

It has been closely connected with the Central Plains since the Han Dynasty.

Li Yue glanced at this person, and Dawan came from thousands of miles away, which was quite surprising.

The countries of the Western Regions are within the range of the Black Cloud Army's broadsword, and they can cut it as much as they want, but Dawan is willing to be west of the Green Ridge, and Li Yue's broadsword can't be stretched out for the time being.

Whether this trade route can be established or not, Dawan's attitude is very important.

At present, Yueban and Wusun north of the Tianshan Mountains have not been cleaned up.

"Then I will wait for good news, hoping that Dawan will not disappoint me and the soldiers." Li Yue smiled kindly.

The envoy respectfully bowed to the Western Regions, and then retreated.

"Your Majesty, the captives such as King Bochun of Qiuci have arrived in Dunhuang." Lu Qing came to report.

"Ling Bochun came to see you."

In front of a group of messengers, let them see the fate of those who dare to move their knives with the girders.

After a while, a captive with high eyebrows and deep eyes was sent in.

Standing at the front is naturally Qiuzi Wang Bochun, about thirty years old, with a depressed face, but his eyes sometimes show a look of indignation, seeing Li Yue, he held his head high and stood up without bowing.

"You are Bo Chun? I've heard its name for a long time. Li Yue looked at him with a smile.

"This king has also heard of His Majesty's name for a long time in the Western Regions." Silk is pure and half-baked Chinese.

It's all at this point, and it's still on the shelf of King Guizi.

"Bold!" The guards around him couldn't look past it and snorted coldly.

But Bo Chun just glanced at it and was not afraid.

To deal with this kind of hard bones, Li Yue has experience, "I heard that the turtle is good at singing and dancing, this trip is very lacking, and it is a dance for me." ”

The voice was not hurried, but the murderous intent in the voice loomed.

There was a sudden chill in the hall.

"This is the work of the subordinates, and this king does not pass this way." Silk pure not an inch.

"And what will you do?" Li Yue laughed more and more.

"This king has governed Qiuzi for ten years, the country is rich and the people are safe, and it is the most in the Western Regions. The Great Liang is just bullying the weak with the strong, and this king does not accept it, and the people of this king do not accept it! Bo Chun suddenly blushed and his neck thickened.

As if deliberately provoking the surrounding emissaries.

The envoys looked at Li Yue with wide eyes.

Li Yue laughed, "Bullying the weak with the strong? When you robbed and killed the messenger of the Great Liang, were you bullying the weak with the strong? Hundreds of thousands of horses and horses in the Western Regions besieging my 50,000 soldiers, is it considered to bully the weak with the strong? Now that the army has been defeated and captured, it is strange that I am bullying the weak with the strong, how can this be justified in the world? ”
