Chapter 919: I Still Want a Name
Xue Yantuo's matter can be regarded as a complete agreement, and when he came, Qibi He Li and others also got a certain amount of authorization, and since the negotiation was settled, Zhenzhu Khan was also simply, and he directly wrote the letter of state.
And he took the initiative to write in the national letter: Although the countries of the Western Regions are subject countries of the Tang Dynasty, because they are still managed separately, they bring the threat of possible war to the people of the Tang Dynasty and the people of the Western Regions, which makes the minister quite emotional.
After thinking about it again, the minister felt that this matter must not be delayed, for the sake of many tribes in the entire grassland, many herdsmen and the people of the Central Plains will no longer have conflicts, no more bloody conflicts, and the minister is willing to give up all his power.
The minister is willing to become an ordinary person of the Tang Dynasty, and lead the entire Xue Yantuo Department and other grassland tribes to be completely merged into the Tang Dynasty, become a state of the Tang Dynasty, and be included in the management of the Tang Dynasty, so as to avoid misunderstandings due to insufficient communication between the two sides.
I implore Your Majesty to send a capable minister to the grassland to lead the many herdsmen and people in the grassland, and I implore Your Majesty to do your best to make many herdsmen and people in the grassland live a good life, so that they will no longer struggle for survival!
For this reason, the minister is willing to give up everything.
Xue Yantuo's vassal: Yi lost Yi male, written on April 27, 22 years of the Tang Dynasty. ”
After Zhenzhu Khan finished writing the letter of state, he handed it over to Qibi He Li, who sent 300 cavalry to the Tang Dynasty in an urgent manner.
And they will stay in Xue Yantuo for the time being, and carry out other follow-up procedures, such as other tribes that form Xue Yantuo together with Xue Yantuo's department, and persuade them, they must come forward to explain.
Therefore, it is definitely impossible for them to return directly for the time being, and they still need to cooperate with Pearl Khan to carry out the next plan.
I have to say that Zhenzhu Khan is also very simple, or he knows a truth, either don't do it, since you do it, then do it more simply, and strive for more benefits for yourself.
It's a fool's thing to do, or you don't agree, and if you do, you have to throw yourself to either side.
What's more, don't you still have money to persuade other tribes to join Datang, we will also be Datang people in the future, if you want to live a good life, you will definitely need to use more money.
No one can be afraid of too much money.
In mid-May, Zhenzhu Khan's letter of state was sent from the grassland to Chang'an City, and Li Shimin, who received the letter of state, naturally handed over Li Ke to the Liangyi Hall as soon as possible.
Naturally, when he came back with the national letter, there was also a recital written by Qi Bi He Li and others, in which Qi Bi He Li and others wrote the dialogue between the two sides that day and the whole process.
After getting the national letter and the chapter, Li Shimin read both of them one by one.
After reading it, Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh a few times "hahaha", and he directly handed the music and the national letter in his hand to Fang Xuanling, the eldest grandson Wuji and Wei Zheng.
"Look, look, hahaha, this lost man is also a wonderful person. To be honest, I didn't expect this kid to be so crisp. Li Shimin was very proud.
Fang Xuanling and the three of them circulated both things for the first time.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty." The three of them all smiled and said hello to Li Shimin, after all, it was definitely a good thing for Datang to completely solve the threat of Xue Yantuo and other tribes in the north.
At present, what the Tang Dynasty cannot solve by peaceful means is probably only Goguryeo.
They didn't expect that His Highness's trick would really come true.
"You should say hello to Li Ke, to be honest, I didn't expect this kid's method to really work." Li Shimin said with emotion.
"I'm afraid these are closely related to some of His Highness's reforms." Fang Xuanling also added with emotion, "If there is no reform of His Highness, this trick will basically not work." After all, if we want to make them give up the entire Xue Yantuo, the money we pay alone is a huge amount. ”
"What Liang Guogong said is very true, if such a method was put in the past, I would not dare to think of it." The eldest grandson Wuji nodded, this is the difference in vision.
If it weren't for Li Ke, they didn't expect that there would be such a trick, but could this trick be used casually? No, because this trick requires a lot of financial resources! Let's just say that this time the entire Xue Yantuo was bought, involving the True Pearl Khan and the leaders and nobles of the various tribes of Xue Yantuo.
The total amount of money paid by the entire Datang is almost close to 15 million to 20 million yuan, which was the treasury of Datang for two years.
Even according to the income of Datang's 21st year or this year's Datang treasury, it also means Datang's income for a whole year!
How could they possibly pay for this money before. Let's not say whether Datang has it, even if Datang does, they don't have so many copper coins!
Now it's different, paper money can be printed directly by the mint under the central bank.
Although His Highness has said that paper money is not printed casually, but is calculated according to the strength of the country, the price of goods, the circulation rate of goods, etc., and it is said that it is very complicated.
But His Royal Highness also said that a country can over-issue part of the currency, but this part of the over-issuance must be controlled within a certain range, and the premise of over-issuance is that Datang is very optimistic about the future economic development of Datang before it can be over-issued.
In fact, the currency circulation rate of Datang is too low, and too many copper coins and so on are silent in different places, so there will be a phenomenon of insufficient money before Datang, not to mention that Datang's currency is actually circulating in all the small countries around.
And now these small countries have been included in the scope of the Tang Dynasty's rule, and all aspects such as the circulation of goods within these small countries naturally have to be included in the calculation.
It is also inevitable to increase the issuance of money, not to mention what is a commodity? There are currently more than 30 million heads of livestock in the entire Xue Yantuo territory, all of which are commodities! Since these commodities have been bought by Datang and become Datang's goods, as well as the land area, etc., it is naturally feasible to issue currency.
But the previous Datang was definitely not good.
In fact, if the historical Tang Dynasty really had so much money, Li Ke's policy would be implemented in real history. For these kings of small countries who can't fight and can't fight, and know that they may die if they fail, you have to give enough status and money, and it is not difficult for the other party to give up this position.
"Your Shangshu Province may make arrangements for follow-up work?" Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling and asked.
"It's not a big problem, although there is still a shortage of our officials, but we are already stepping up training, and some loose officials in the court can be reused, and these people have also been trained for several months according to His Highness's previous instructions, mainly to change their attitudes."
"Especially the young literati who His Highness had to leave from the Guozijian before, as well as the newly trained group of young officials, they are young enough and quick enough to get in touch with new things, they are all useful."
"In addition, these tribes of the steppe are different from other countries, they have to start a nomadic life in the summer, and they are nomadic in the form of small tribes or small villages, and after selecting a village, they can solve some simple things in their daily life themselves." Fang Xuanling said seriously.
