In the Honglu Temple, all the envoys did not have the intention of visiting Chang'an City before coming, and returned to their residences one by one to refuse guests, what happened today is simply beyond all their expectations of Datang, they want to report everything that happened today to their own king, and the attention to Datang has risen several steps.

In the Tubo Post House, Lu Dongzan recalled everything that happened today, and couldn't help but sweat coldly, if today's Tubo faces the Tang Dynasty, it will inevitably be defeated and invincible, and now it seems that only temporarily avoiding the edge is the best way to be afraid

"Fortunately, there is a natural danger on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in Tibet!" Lu Dongzan was glad that as long as Tubo did not take the initiative to attack, if Datang wanted to defeat Tubo, it would inevitably have to pay a heavy price.

But let him retreat like this, it is impossible to be respectful to the Tang Dynasty, he Tubo occupies the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and is invincible, other countries may not have such good luck, I am afraid that some people should be very panicked now!

"Come here, look for an opportunity to pass this secret letter to Gaochang, Xue Yantuo, Goguryeo, and the Western Turks." Lu Dongzan stretched out his hand and summoned a secret envoy to seal the four secret letters and solemnly handed them into his hands.

"Yes!" The secret envoy commanded.

These four most powerful forces around the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that only when Tubo unites with them can they have the capital to confront the Tang Dynasty.

Soon, all four messengers received a secret letter from Tibet!

"The five countries unite to resist the Tang Dynasty, great!" Koji Zhisheng looked at the secret letter in his hand and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Prince, among the five countries, I Gaochang is the weakest, don't act rashly!" Deputy Envoy Gao Chang couldn't help but admonish.

Koji Zhisheng said nonchalantly: "It's because I'm the weakest in Gaochang that I need allies, and I have a foothold in the face of Datang." ”

"At this time, you still need to report to Your Majesty before you can make the decision." Deputy Envoy Gao Chang persuaded.

Koji Zhisheng laughed and said: "We only need to respond to the current situation to calm the hearts of the people, as for whether I Gaochang will comply with it in the future, it is naturally up to my father to decide." ”

"The prince is wise!" Vice Envoy Gao Chang said respectfully.

The other three envoys and Koji Zhisheng all had the same idea, and they all responded to the matter, secretly agreeing that once the Tang Dynasty sent troops to any country, the other countries would send troops to contain them.

Lu Dongzan got everyone's reply, couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, for everyone's thoughts, it is not difficult for him to guess, but he doesn't care at all, Tubo has a unique terrain, if it is said that among the five countries, the last laugh will definitely not be Tubo, no matter what the ending, it will only be beneficial to Tubo.

"Ink sacrifice wine, is this military parade too much, in case all the countries unite and are hostile to the Tang Dynasty at the same time, wouldn't it be a snake to add to it!" In the Ministry of Rites, Ling Hu Dedi received a message from Honglu Temple, and couldn't help frowning.

Merton shook his head and said: "The union of all countries is a combination of verticals, and the Tang Dynasty can also be horizontal!" To resist the contagion! And my Datang is now in full swing, even if there is no military parade today, will these countries not be united? ”

"Vertical and horizontal, long-distance and close-range attack!" Ling Hu Dedi's heart moved.

Merton nodded and said: "I just don't know if the people trained by the Ministry of Rites have already come out, this time the envoys of all nations will go back, and I will have to be accompanied by the envoys of the Tang Dynasty." ”

Ling Hu Dedi said confidently: "I promise not to disappoint the ink sacrifice wine." ”

"Lord Qiyu, Lord Shangshu Dai of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is here!" An official from the Ministry of Rites hurriedly came to report.

"Hurry up, please!" Ling Hu Dedi hurriedly got up and said, Dai Xuan is in the same position as him, and he is visiting in person, so he naturally has important matters to discuss.

"That kid quit first!" Merton was playfully ready to leave.

"No need, I'm looking for you kid!" Dai Xuan came in angrily.

"I don't know where the kid offended Dai Shangshu again!" Merton laughed.

When the Ministry of Civil Affairs was short of money, Dai Xuan personally took the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to the Mexican Mansion to collect taxes, so naturally he did not have much awe.

"Offend the old man! Hum! Let's take a look at the cost of this parade for the time being! Dai Xuan slammed the account book in his hand in front of the two.

"So much?" Ling Hu Dedi opened it and couldn't help but exclaim, he only knew how to spend money, but he had never calculated that the cost was so much.

Merton suddenly shrank his head, most of this money was spent by him, and he naturally knew the approximate amount, but it was not a small amount.

"I said, Lord Linghu, you can't ask anyone for help, but you can find such a loser! No amount of money is enough! Dai Xuan said angrily.

Linghu Dedi said in a round field: "Lord Dai, isn't this all for the court, it costs more, but the matter is very successful, it is better for you to approve it!" ”

Although it cost a lot, this military parade was indeed a success, and in Linghu Dedi's opinion, it was simply a good deal.

"That's right! Although it cost a little money, I Datang benefited a lot from it, and overall it was still cost-effective. Merton said dryly.

Dai Xuan snorted coldly and glanced at Merton, Merton suddenly closed his mouth, and after Dai Xuan calmed the anger in his heart, he said: "It's not impossible for me to approve, but it's ......"

Linghu Dedi was suddenly overjoyed and said: "Lord Dai, if you have the conditions, just mention it, as long as the Ministry of Rites can do it, just give orders." ”

Dai Xuan's face softened slightly: "There is a batch of silk produced by the Weaving Bureau in the hands of the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites does not have many envoys from all over the world, as long as the Ministry of Rites can sell this batch of silk, today's matter will be written off." ”

"A batch of silk, how many?" Merton said hurriedly.

Dai Xuan lightly exposed an astronomical number, and Merton and Linghu Dedi's eyes suddenly darkened.

"So much?" Merton exclaimed.

"It's not a matter of your kid making trouble, now that cotton is about to be popularized, there is still a large amount of silk in the hands of the imperial court, if it is thrown to the market, I am afraid it will not be long before the silk on the market will collapse! For now, there is only one way to sell it to the countries of the Western Regions. Dai Zhou explained.

Prior to this, silk could also be used as money, so the most owned silk was naturally owned by the imperial court.

"No, how can so much silk be sold!" Ling Hu Dedi shook his head and said, the entire Tang Dynasty can't digest it, and how much can the countries of the Western Regions buy.

"Then these account books, the official can't do anything!" Dai Xuan said helplessly.

Mo Dun suddenly had a headache, and Dai Xuan's meaning was obvious, now the imperial court can only have money if it sells silk, and there is no need to talk about it without money.

"Ink sacrifice wine, you have a good plan!" Linghu Dedi immediately asked for help from Merton, you must know that Merton has sold countless cattle and sheep, and the only opportunity to sell this batch of silk is Merton's body.

"Can the price be reduced?" Merton asked tentatively. If the price drops a bit, you can still sell some silk.

Dai Xuan sneered: "The value of this batch of silk has been approved by the three provinces and reported to the imperial court. ”

If the price can be reduced, Dai Zhou will not come to force Moton, if the price is reduced, the price of this batch of silk evaporated out of thin air, which is simply the loss of state-owned assets.

"You said that this batch of silk is the silk woven by the Imperial Court Weaving Bureau." Merton asked.

"Not bad!" Dai Xuan nodded.

"Is there no such silk on the market?" Merton asked again.

Dai Xuan said as a matter of course: "That is natural, and the craftsmanship of the Weaving Bureau is not only superb, but also has a unique imprint, which is impossible for ordinary workshops to imitate." ”

Merton nodded slowly, closed his eyes and pondered, "If that's the case, that kid may have a way to sell this batch of silk." ”

"Really?" Ling Hu Dedi was pleasantly surprised.

Dai Xuan's eyes narrowed and said, "No price reduction!" ”

"No price reduction!"

"All?" Dai Xuan asked after a sluggish breath.

"All, even a little more!" Merton nodded heavily, and in his mind, a vast plan around silk quickly took shape.
