Chapter 937 Business Alliance
As the Sassanid consul in the east, Antony was not a fool in dealing with the Western Regions and Turkic powers for many years.
Knowing what Yang Yue said, he looked up at each other, turned around and muttered to Abli.
Soon, Abuli reported to Yang Yue in a strong voice: "Your Majesty, the consul said that the Tang Dynasty traded with Sassanid and did not choose a military alliance, could it be that the Tang Dynasty was afraid of the Turks?"
Anthony learned in Chang'an that a few months ago, the Tang Dynasty had formed a military alliance with the Turks, and the two sides had sent elite troops to Tuyuhun.
In this way, Yang Yue rejected Sasan's proposal, which made him doubt Yang Yue's sincerity and feel faintly uneasy.
"Abuli, tell Antony that the Turks have not yet threatened the Tang Dynasty, nor do they have the energy to threaten Sasanian, and Sassanid should quickly adopt the strategy of attacking the outside world and first securing the interior, and quell the internal rebellion." Yang Yue said annoyedly.
You don't see it, the Turkic iron cavalry killed by the Tang army fell into the flowers, you don't see, the Turks show weakness to the Tang Dynasty?
In this way, will Datang be afraid of the Turks?
Tibetan, Turkic, and Sassanid are all fat in his eyes, and when the time is ripe, the Tang army will definitely eat them one after another.
However, there are priorities, compared with the strong enemy Turks in the north, and the Tibetan in the west, it is more threatening to the Tang Dynasty.
Datang can't destroy his own arrangement because of an alliance with Sasana!
What's more, when Zhang Qian sent an envoy to the Western Regions to find the Dayue clan, when the other party did not agree to form an alliance, the Han army Tiger Ben still expelled the Xiongnu and sealed the wolf Juxu.
Today, only when Datang is strong can it conquer the east and the west!
For the Tang Dynasty, Sassanid is dispensable, not something that cannot be replaced.
Abuli conveyed Yang Yue's words to Anthony, and Anthony muttered secretly: "If you go outside, you must first settle the rebellion of the southern princes and invade with the big cannibals?"
However, the mobilization of the defenders stationed in the east, the Turks were afraid of imminent action and took the opportunity to invade.
In addition to worrying, it makes sense to taste what Yang Yue said.
After thinking for a long time, Anthony told Abuli his thoughts and asked him to convey them to Yang Yue.
"Your Majesty, the Archon is afraid that the Sassanids will focus their efforts on the south, and the Turks will take advantage of the weakness!" Abli said to Yang Yue.
Hearing this, Yang Yue chuckled lightly and said to the ministers: "The Sassanid people look forward to doing things, so they waste their energy in vain, but they don't get any benefits."
Abuli told Anthony that the Turks were controlled by the Tang Dynasty, and that Sassanid was located on the plateau and was rich in natural resources, which coincided with the internal economic tension of the Turks.
You set up a chamber of commerce in Broken Leaf City and Gongyue City in Longyou Road, and the Tang Dynasty and Turkic merchants transported porcelain, silk, tea, horses and other items to the two places and sold them to you, and you sold them to the Western empires, and by the way, the Western spices, glass, agate, grain and other items were transported to Broken Leaf City and Gongyue City, and we both made money and grain.
Once the money and food are abundant, it will be much easier for the Sassanids to quell the rebellion of the southern princes and expel the Great Cannibal invasion.
Besides, our tripartite economy is closely connected, and the Sassanids in particular provide food for the Turks, so how could Argus risk an expedition?"
Yang Yue got up and said his suggestion!
The three trades bring in the Turks, but they can paralyze Agus, stabilize each other, and buy time for Datang!
As a businessman, Abli heard what Yang Yue said, and perceived a huge business opportunity from it, and conveyed Yang Yue's suggestion to Anthony with a happy face!
Anthony heard the sound and learned Yang Yue's suggestion, stroked his beard, and bowed down to Yang Yue!
At this moment, he vaguely felt that he was about to develop.
He led his troops to garrison in eastern Sasan, and the distance from the imperial city to the military headquarters was closer than that of Chang'an to the city of Broken Leaves, and if he took the opportunity to monopolize the commercial exchanges between the East and the West, and made the difference from it, he would soon become rich.
Moreover, there are Turkic, Tang, Khitan and other forces in the east of Sasani, and there are Franks, Chambantines, and other principalities in the west.
When the country is strong, it can easily quell the rebellion in the south and expel the cannibals, and the key is to remove the threat from the Turks.
In addition to the excitement, Anthony's face frowned, most of the merchants who came to the Tang Dynasty from the west were big cannibals, even though Sasanian was in a superior geographical location, but in terms of business, he was very seriously affected by the big cannibals.
When there was little silence, Anthony told Abuli about his worries, and Abuli, as a businessman, understood Anthony's worries better, and quickly said to Yang Yue: "Your Majesty, among the businessmen who come to the Tang Dynasty from the west to do business, there are a lot of cannibals, and I am afraid of destroying our stable business!"
"It doesn't hurt in this way, the two sides are doing business, and Datang gives priority to Sasan, unless you take the opportunity to raise prices and encroach on the interests of Datang merchants!" Yang Yue cut the railway.
In order to paralyze the Turks, the only way to temporarily damage the interests of the great cannibals is to temporarily damage the interests of the great cannibals, but even if the number of great food merchants will decrease, after the official agreement between the Tang Dynasty and the Sassanids, the Tang Dynasty will have more goods to the west, and the money and grain will be more.
Now weaken the interests of the big cannibals, and in the future, the Tang army will move westward, and the big cannibals can be easily eliminated.
Abuli reported what Yang Yue said to Anthony, and learned that Sasanid was deeply trusted by the Tang Emperor, and in the future, the Central Plains commodities would be continuously shipped to Sasan, and then sold from Sasanid to the West.
Bowing down and saluting Yang Yue deeply, let Abuli report: "Your Majesty, Sassan, thank you for the trust of the Tang Dynasty, and set up a chamber of commerce in Broken Leaf City and Gongyue City as soon as possible!"
"It couldn't be better!"
Yang Yue nodded with satisfaction and ordered: "Gao Aiqing, Wen Renyu, you sign a business alliance with Sasanan as soon as possible!"
"Yes!" Gao Xiaoyun, Wen Ren Yu is the head!
Abuli and Anthony exchanged heads and ears, and successively conveyed the words of Yang Yue and the ministers to each other!
Yang Yue was silent for a while, and said: "Abuli, Datang agrees to trade with Sassanid to consolidate the interests of both sides, but to lobby the Turks, you still need to go in person, if the three parties form a business alliance, it will be very beneficial to each other!"
"Yes!" Abuli bowed his head and conveyed Yang Yue's suggestion!
Soon, Gao Xiaoyun, Wen Renyu, left with Anthony and the members of the mission!
In the Xuanzheng Palace, Zhang Shaoqing stepped forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty people rarely go to the West, and they don't understand the situation in the West, and if they suddenly do business with Sasan, will it damage the interests of the Tang Dynasty?"
Datang has a vast territory and developed commerce, and if Western countries sell goods to Datang and do not buy goods from Datang, it will damage the interests of Datang merchants.
"Zhang Aiqing, don't worry, I sent General Zhao in advance to inquire about the big food merchants, the scope of Western countries does not need to be small in the Tang Dynasty, not to mention that there are many large and small countries, especially the porcelain, silk, and tea of the Tang Dynasty!
Doing business with Sassanid is beneficial to the merchants of the Tang Dynasty!" Yang Yue said loudly!
Moreover, the establishment of a commercial alliance with the Sassanids is only a delaying tactic, and in the end, the Tang army will conquer the Turks, the Sasanians, and the Western Empire!
The sun and the moon shine on it, all of them are Han soil!
