Chapter 594: The Prairie Affair
Merton couldn't help but look at Princess Guanghua and Murong Shun with emotion, they didn't know their own strength, and they also knew the risks, but they still rushed to that seat like moths to a fire.
"If you agree, the old man can be used as a guarantee to ensure that your mother and son will be prosperous and prosperous in Datang for the rest of their lives." Gao Shilian persuaded hard.
Princess Guanghua shook her head and said with a hideous expression: "If this palace wanted to enjoy the glory and wealth, it would not have left Chang'an City and come to Tuyuhun in this barbarian land. ”
For today's day, Princess Guanghua has paid too much, how can she retreat because of Gao Shilian and Merton's words, even if he knows that Murong Shun's throne is like a castle in the sky, he is still willing to take this risk.
The dinner party broke up unhappily, Gao Shilian walked out of the felt tent angrily, and Merton had to arch his hand to Princess Guanghua in embarrassment, got up and followed away.
"Mother! Both of them are shrewd people, and I am afraid that today's things will not be effective! "Murong Shun suffers from gains and losses.
The hideousness of Princess Guanghua's face slowly disappeared, she returned to her solemn countenance, and said calmly: "For the sake of my mother's face, Gao Shilian will not be an obstacle to us, and the real obstacle is this young Tang General." ”
"Mo Jiazi!" Murong Shun frowned.
Princess Guanghua nodded, and said: "The world is unified, and love is not attacking, and the current Mo family makes the palace a little incomprehensible, but this person's talented mother did not exaggerate, even if it was so many young talents in Chang'an City back then, compared with him is like a battle between fireflies and bright moons, it is really God bless the Tang Dynasty." ”
Murong Shun was suddenly a little unconvinced.
Princess Guanghua said coldly: "It's only been a short period of time, this person has already gathered the hearts of so many tribes, if my mother doesn't come forward today, I'm afraid that the entire Tuyuhun will soon be taken into the hands of Datang, and there will be no place for you and my mother and son." ”
Murong Shun's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of fear, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he thought of the Mo family's endless methods.
"Send an order to King Xuan, allow him the position of prime minister, and let him pacify a large tribe and not buy pastures from the Tang Dynasty." Princess Gwanghwa thought for a moment.
Murong Shun said with a sad face: "But King Xuan has always been loyal to his father, and he must be resentful of me in his heart, will he listen to us?" ”
"If Tuyuhun can't restore the country, he Xuanwang is just a tribal leader, and only when Tuyuhun recovers the country can he have power, he won't understand this truth." Princess Gwanghwa sneered.
"Yes!" Murong Shun nodded.
"Mo Jiazi is right, if you forcibly ascend to the throne, it will be almost like a castle in the air, but as long as you balance the Tang Dynasty and the various tribes, it is not without opportunities." Princess Gwanghwa said.
"Then what if there is a conflict between the Tang Dynasty and the tribe?" Murong Shun asked.
Princess Guanghua said without hesitation: "If you fall to Datang and offend the tribe, even if you lose your position, you can still enjoy the glory and wealth when you retreat to Datang, if you offend Datang, even any tribe will not dare to take you in." ”
Murong Shun was unwilling for a while, and finally could only say helplessly: "The child understands!" ”
Not to mention the conversation between Princess Guanghua's mother and son, Gao Shilian and Morton walked out of the felt tent, and there was silence on the road.
"Ask whatever you want! Don't be so sneaky. Gao Shilian looked at Merton who kept peeking at him angrily.
Merton smiled and said, "Princess Guanghua must have been a popular figure in Chang'an City back then!" ”
Gao Shilian couldn't help but fall into the memories and muttered: "At that time, Princess Guanghua was beautiful and generous, and the people who wanted to pursue him could be said to be lined up from the Vermilion Bird Gate to the South City Gate, and of course the old man was no exception. ”
"Then why did she go to Tu Gu Hun with her relatives?" Merton wondered.
"One is that her background is low, and the other is that her character is too strong, plus a series of things happened, which eventually led to the road of harmony, but unfortunately the old man didn't have your talent and courage back then, otherwise what happened today would not have happened." Gao Shilian sighed.
His initial good impression of Merton is probably that a young man was impassioned in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, shouting out no harmony, no compensation, no land, no tribute, the city guards the country, and the king dies.
If he had raised his arms at the beginning, Princess Guanghua might not have today's ending.
"Murong Shun's situation, Master Gao won't be able to see it, I'm afraid that if I forcibly push it to that position, I'm afraid I won't be able to sit still!" Merton's eyes flashed.
"The Yang family's pursuit of power is deep in the bone marrow, even if they know that there is a risk, they will not give up." Gao Shilian snorted coldly. And he is also familiar with Princess Guanghua's character, and the more he blocks Princess Guanghua, the more determined she becomes.
"I'm afraid that if you want to get cattle and sheep from Tuyuhun in the future, it won't be so convenient." Gao Shilian sighed.
"How much has been raised for the disaster relief of the tall people?" Merton asked suddenly.
Gao Shilian suddenly paused, and his eyes flashed in the dark: "It's almost five!" ”
Morton breathed a sigh of relief, and carefully calculated and said: "Today, it seems that it is impossible to catch the wool of Tuyuhun, a sheep, but the party departments and Xiqiang departments can still get a batch of cattle and sheep, which should be able to make up eighty percent, plus the salt of Chaka Salt Lake, it should be about the same!" ”
Gao Shilian replied hesitantly, and said, "Since this is the case, I can report it to see how the imperial court resettles Tuyuhun and Murong Shun." ”
Merton nodded.
There was no word for a night, and the next day, all the tribes that came to buy the pasture disappeared, which Merton and Gao Shilian had expected and were not surprised.
"You have to think about it, since you are not willing to buy the pasture, each tribe needs to pay ten horses, ten cows, and a hundred sheep every year as the right to use it." Merton reminded.
The leaders of the large tribes immediately focused their eyes on Murong Shun at the front, and Murong Shun nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mohou, my Tuyuhun tribes know Mohou's rules." ”
Merton nodded, and with a loud shout, the Shadow immediately sped away.
This time Merton returned to Lanzhou is also a detour to the land of Qingtang, with a large army to sell his Mo family stunts, with the leadership of the Hule tribe, plus the party departments have no leader, Merton's business is very smooth, and when Merton returns to Lanzhou, behind him, tens of thousands of cattle and sheep are with him.
Immediately afterwards, Gao Shilian ordered the army to take a huge magnet stone and go to the Xiqiang tribes, and the Xiqiang tribes turned against each other one after another, offering cattle and sheep and buying pasture.
After delivering the huge order of Datang merchants, Merton breathed a sigh of relief, and the task of preparing disaster relief funds was finally completed.
As for the remaining two percent, Merton has already had a plan, that is, the salt pond of Chaka Salt Lake, although the storage of salt in the Zarkhan Salt Lake is more amazing, but the Zarkhan Salt Lake is located in the center of the Qaidam Basin, the terrain is remote, the desert is widespread, and now is not a good time to produce salt.
While Morton was selling his ink skills everywhere, many herdsmen had already brought a large amount of salt from the Chaka Salt Lake to Shanzhou, and it was soon transferred to the city of Lanzhou.
