Chapter 222: A Brief Peace

"Acting king, these copywriters will be put here first!" Mo Han put down the Chinese case in his hand and saluted Tuoba Yulu respectfully.

"Mr. Mo, how many times have I said it, you can help me deal with these things!" Tuoba Lu Dao.

"Etiquette cannot be abolished, power cannot be crossed, no matter what, it is better to ask the king to take a look at it!" Mo Han said seriously.

"That's right, it's up to you!" When Tuoba Yilu heard Mo Han's words, he couldn't help but smile.

Tuoba Yilu flipped through a few documents, but saw a few weed blades mixed in the documents, which couldn't help but make Tuoba Yilu frown, Tuoba Yilu picked up the weed blades and looked at them.

Mo Han hurriedly bowed his head to Tuoba Yilu and saluted, "Qiyu acting king, I accidentally fell on the way to the king's tent, so this weed fell into it, and please punish the king!" ”

"Little things." Tuoba Yilu casually put the weed aside, and said to Mo Han,

"Mr. Mo will go and do your business first, I will give these documents to Mr. Mo after I look at them."

Mo Han glanced at the weed, saluted Tuoba Yilu, and then respectfully withdrew.

When Tuoba Yilu saw Mo Han leaving, he immediately summoned his guards to come over and talk back, and said, "Mr. Mo fell? ”

When the guards heard Tuoba Yilu's words, they instinctively hesitated in their hearts, thinking about whether to say Tuoba Six Cultivation.

"Tell the truth!" At this time, Tuoba Yilu said to the guards in a serious voice, and the power of Tuoba Xianbei's ruler was fully displayed.

"It was the eldest prince who seemed to be very angry for some reason when he left, and when he saw Mr. Mo, he kicked him, and Mr. Mo's hand Chinese scattered on the ground!" The guard hurriedly said.

"Got it! You go down first! Hum! Tuoba Yilu knew in his heart that where Tuoba Liuxiu wanted to play was Mohan, and he was afraid of himself if he really wanted to play!

Tuoba Liuxiu returned to his camp and sat down in his seat in a huff.

At this time, Diao Ying entered the camp after the report, and saw that Tuoba Liuxiu was angry, and said, "Why is the eldest prince angry?" ”

"It's not because of my father, this Jin court will be thin tomorrow, he just holds on to it, why do you say it!"

Tuoba Liuxiu was full of resentment at this moment, and his voice couldn't help but be a little higher.

At this time, Diao Ying smiled and said, "Tuoba Khan is the hero of the Xianbei tribe, and his intelligence has made Xianbei prosperous.

It's just that even the most intelligent heroes will become old and stubborn, rejecting the changes of the times.

In the eyes of Tuoba Khan, the Jin court, which had been powerful since childhood, was destroyed so easily in the hands of the Han Dynasty.

This is the Jin court that he has looked up to since he was a child, even if Tuoba Khan is a masterpiece in the world, how can he accept changes as easily as a great prince! ”

"He's just a fool!" Tuoba Liuxiu said viciously.

"Even though Tuoba Khan is old, isn't there still a great prince!" Diao Ying smiled and said,

"I'm still the same sentence, as long as you are willing, the friendship of the Great Han and the help of Lord Shile will arrive at any time!"

"Humph!" Tuoba Liuxiu looked at Diao Ying and said viciously, "You're not a good person either!" ”

"I've never said I'm a good person!" Diao Ying looked at Tuoba Liu's cultivation, "But I can help you!" ”

Tuoba Liuxiu also fell silent when he heard Diao Ying's words, because what Diao Ying said was not wrong.

In fact, at this moment, not only Liu Kun and Shi Le's people were here, but at this moment, after Ge Xin transferred his soldiers from two-legged to six-legged cavalry, he also sent Wang Yi to the Tuoba tribe.

And Wang Yi is indeed worthy of being the original governor of Youzhou, he is at least familiar with the situation of the Youzhou generation, even if Tuoba Xianbei and Wang Jun fought with each other at the beginning, but Tuoba Yilu still gave Wang Yi a face.

"I've seen Tuoba Khan!" When Wang Yi saw Tuoba Yilu, he saluted slightly.

"Wang Changshi hasn't seen me for a long time, and I am now the acting king of the Jin court!" Tuoba Yilu couldn't help but say proudly.

When Wang Yi heard this, he only smiled at Tuoba Yilu, and then said, "I came today on behalf of Liu Jungong to ask Tuoba Khan if he is interested in trading with us!" ”

"Mutual Market?!" Tuoba Yilu was a little surprised when he heard Wang Yi's words.

Because Tuoba Yi Lu Wangyi also came to woo him on behalf of Liu Tai, he specially pointed out his identity, the purpose was to raise the price.

But I didn't expect Wang Yi to just make a fluttering sentence of mutual market, and all his psychological preparations were useless.

"Yes!" Wang Yi nodded at Tuoba Yilu and said,

"Liu Jungong is benevolent and wants to quell the surrounding war with a benevolent heart as much as possible, so as a neighbor of Youzhou, I came here to ask if you are interested in trading with us in Youzhou!"

"What do you want?" When Tuoba Yilu heard Wang Yi's words, he couldn't help but be vigilant.

But Wang Yi said calmly, "But I just hope that our two sides can coexist peacefully and let the border market be exchanged."

No one loses by buying and selling with each other, we sell salt, you sell hides, that's all. ”

Of course, Wang Yi was calm, because Liu Tai didn't mean to wipe out Tuoba Xianbei immediately.

After all, if you want to fight Tuoba Xianbei, it's easy to say if it's a defensive battle, but if you take the initiative to attack, don't say it, at least the cavalry is needed!

And now there are only three cavalry in Liu Tai's hands, one is Liu Tai's headquarters, one is Liu Yao's heavy cavalry, and the other is Ge Xin, who has just been transferred from two legs to six legs.

As for Zhao An's cavalry, it is more accurate to be more accurate in the army than the elite of the fight.

And heavy cavalry, both advantages and disadvantages are very obvious, you can't expect this class to go out alone.

As for Liu Tai's headquarters, Liu Tai is very willing to learn from Huo Quai's illness and run thousands of miles.

But if Liu Tai dared to do this, Chu Yu and other ministers dared to die directly in the Department of Internal Affairs, so that Liu Tai realized the seriousness of the matter.

With Liu Tai's defeat of Wang Jun, Liu Tai's identity has been changed from a military general to a monarch, if Liu Tai dares to be as light and unprepared as Sun Ce, it is not a joke for Chu Yu and other people who live on Liu Tai.

Therefore, Liu Tai should not think about running thousands of miles or something, even if it is a decisive battle, until the critical moment, even if Liu Tai sits there as a mascot, he will generally not let Liu Tai gallop on the battlefield.

Of course, if Liu Tai really ordered to charge out, then there was really no one on the battlefield to stop him.

Because Liu Tai is not taking the orthodox way of war, as long as he sees a little flaw in the other party, this flaw will be torn infinitely by Liu Tai's intersperse.

In this regard, the main role of Zhou Ping's command of the army is to pull.

When the other party thought that defeating Zhou Ping would bring victory, Liu Tai would almost seize the opportunity.

Of course, this combination is to deal with people of the same level, and when it is seen by people at the level of the Four Saints, it just feels like some bells and whistles, and it is directly crushed.

Therefore, Liu Tai did not want to plan the Xianbei tribe at all, because Liu Tai knew that it was impossible for him to succeed in planning.

Liu Tai doesn't like the kind of two sides who can't tell the winner after a few years of pulling and pulling, and Liu Tai prefers to put more resources on development and wait until he is able to destroy the other party in one battle before making a move.

This can minimize the losses caused by the war, of course, it is also possible to develop, the other party finds that it can't fight and take the lead in attacking Liu Tai's initiative, to be honest, this situation is what Liu Tai is most willing to see.

After all, compared to taking the initiative to attack, it is basically just using soldiers, but if you are fighting a defensive war, you can use the mode of government soldiers and soldiers, don't say anything, at least in terms of numbers, you have an absolute advantage.

Although Liu Tai occasionally fought wars with less and more battles, Liu Tai was more inclined to bully the weak.

It's just that the so-called strong and weak are not only in numbers, but also in terms of equipment, morale of troops, and organizational perfection.

It's just that people in this era pay more attention to quantity, which can be directly observed.

At this moment, Tuoba Yilu didn't expect Wang Yi to be so open-minded, so he came over directly and said that he was here to trade.

In fact, this kind of thing is also undesirable for Tuoba Yilu.

After all, the Xianbei tribe of Tuoba Yilu can trade with limited power, and the most convenient of them is naturally Liu Kun who licks each other's wounds, but Liu Kun is basically under the protection of Tuoba Yilu, and the volume of transactions between the two sides is very limited.

As for Shi Le, although Shi Le is also very shameless, his shameless bottom line is still a little worse than Liu Tai.

After all, in Shi Le's opinion, he and Tuoba Xianbei had just fought, and if they wanted to get along immediately, it would take a process.

It's as if the front heel of a man and a woman only moves the hand foot, and the back heel goes up and down, which is too fast.

And Liu Tai is different, Liu Tai said Miss, we have no feelings, it's all a transaction, and Tuoba Yilu is naturally ready to move.

After all, no matter what era it is, what is it to sell a little bit of dignity in order to make money, and many people still only hate that they want to sell their dignity and have no place to sell it.

For example, a certain bigwig surnamed Wang wants to teach the public how to trade dignity into wealth, but it is a pity that most people do not have the ability to learn and are unwilling to learn.

Tuoba Yilu thought for a while, the mutual market is really beneficial to himself, especially he needs to trade all kinds of local products in his hands into the grain, salt, cloth and ...... that the people need, so he quickly reached an agreement with Wang Yi, and the two sides began to trade with each other at the border.

For a time, whether it was the Xiongnu Han Kingdom, Liu Kun and Tuoba Yilu, all agreed to trade with Liu Tai.

Because they really need to recover after just experiencing such a big war, and for both sides, they really need a shameless force like Liu Tai who can force the two sides to trade as a transit station to trade in materials.

Therefore, only this time, Liu Tai's salt ticket really circulated throughout the Xiongnu Han Kingdom, and even the entire north of the Yellow River.

Of course, this kind of circulation is naturally not all the people who accepted Liu Tai's salt ticket, but the families at the top took the lead in accepting it.

After they used Liu Tai's salt stamps, after the scale of the transaction reached a certain scale, it was really difficult for the physical currency of gold, silver and cloth to meet everyone's needs, on the contrary, the salt stamps were IOUs that allowed everyone to buy any materials.

Of course, even if you don't buy or sell everything, you can exchange it for salt by going to Liu Tai's salt hall with a salt ticket.

It's just that the salt in the salt hall is exchanged, and there is generally a weight cap, basically the more salt you want to exchange, the longer it will take to prepare, especially if the scale exceeds ten tons, it will take two months to book.

For Liu Tai, the biggest reason why he can use salt tickets is not because of the time of this transaction, but because he has mastered the production technology of salt and has an excellent production site.

This allowed Liu Tai to ensure that, at least in the case of water transportation, the price of his salt would always be the lowest, so as to completely monopolize the entire salt market.

Even if the salt that Liu Tai is selling now is quite cheap in the troubled times, for Liu Tai, he is still very helpless to rob money, and this kind of money grabbing is even to the point that the illegal salt dealers are almost extinct.

There is no way, because Liu Tai adopts a subsidy system, and the salt hall or the merchants around the salt hall must sell salt according to the standards set by Liu Tai, and every time a salt is successfully sold, a subsidy will be obtained.

As a direct result, the unsubsidized smugglers have no way to live, and they sell a share of salt and actually lose money.

But if you don't sell it at Liu Tai's price, then you can only go further inland to sell salt.

Even so, because Liu Tai was a monopoly business, Liu Tai found that the net profit from selling salt alone could theoretically feed his army, and even had a lot of surplus, not to mention the main income brought by the financial system of salt stamps.

Of course, making money is making money, money is easy to make, and what Liu Tai needs more is materials, such as food, such as raw silk.

In the final analysis, it is meaningful to be able to buy and sell goods, if you can't buy the materials you need, then even if you have money, you are just so poor that you only have money left.

For Liu Cong, Liu Yaoshile and others, they don't understand that Liu Tai's salt stamps have somehow gradually become popular.

But people like them, who have come step by step from a cannibalistic society, understand the importance of food very well.

They would rather build granaries and let the grain rot in them than let the grain flow out of their jurisdiction.

And this is what Shile did most thoroughly, because he directly restricted the sale of grain across counties.

To put it simply, grain is not allowed to be transported to the surrounding cities, especially the ports where Liu Tai trades, as long as they are found, they will all be imprisoned and their families killed.

Although Shi Le and Liu Tai did not fight directly during this time, if it is said that the two sides will be completely peaceful, neither Shi Le nor Liu Tai believes it anyway.

It's just that what neither side expected was that Tuoba Yilu in the north took the lead in detonating the contradiction.
