Nowadays, the court in the capital has developed a habit. No matter what is being discussed, as long as the pigeon from Yizhou flies in, the discussion must be interrupted and the news will be retrieved by Colliers.

In fact, if there is a war elsewhere, it will be the same. It's just that Yizhou's news is delivered quickly. The transmission is also a little more frequent, not only the news from the front, but also a series of things that Zhang Zhong has done.

Old Man Bi and Old Man Yao are like spies who have penetrated into the enemy, blatantly collecting intelligence, and then analyzing it, and asking Zhang Zhong if they don't understand, and after sorting it out, they will immediately send it to the capital with pigeons, so that the people in the capital can see which one can be applied to other areas.

Of course, there are also things that can't be said, for example, the Zhang family uses dead people to do research, this matter is not reported, and the officials in the court do not need others to report it, they have known it for a long time, and acquiesced to the Zhang family to do it secretly, but it must not be taken out and said clearly.

It would be troublesome to say it and let the people know, and they didn't mean to stop it in their hearts, anyway, they didn't study it with their own people, in case it was their turn to be hurt one day. Also counting on the medical school to save people.

Now it's flying three pigeons at a time. Because there was a disconnect between the two pigeons that flew and the content of the next delivery, the imperial court also sent an eight-hundred-mile urgent report to inquire about it.

I don't know if the two pigeons are tired of flying and looking for a place to settle down, or if they are packed up by something, so I add another pigeon, so it is safer.

Li Longji stopped the topic and said to Hailie. Although the expansion is important, it is far worse than that of Yizhou, as long as the Zhang family in Yizhou is there, and it is okay to ask his family about whether to use force or commerce to invade it.

Gao Lishi walked all the way back to the court, and everyone could guess from the expression on his face that after losing the news of Xiaobao and Juan Juan and the troops some time ago, Gao Lishi's face was gloomy and about to drip water.

Today is different, the original "handsome", Gao Lishi, the whole person has become energetic. The eyebrows were raised, the corners of the mouth were curled, and the ministers understood, this is a good thing.

"But there's news of Juan Juan and Xiaobao?" Li Longji sat on it and asked calmly. If he doesn't take the initiative to ask, then it is really calm, and if he asks now, it shows that his heart is not what it seems.

Colliers nodded, but did not make a sound, as if he had not recovered from the joy. The courtier reminded in a low voice, "General Gao, Your Majesty asks you."

"Huh? Oh, Your Majesty, good news, Gao Lishi was taken aback and hurriedly replied.

Li Longji nodded, kept silent, and waited for Gao Lishi to continue.

The ministers also waited, not knowing which side won, Jiannan Dao was fighting two wars at the same time, one military, one economic, the military was more direct, and the economy was not bad.

"Your Majesty, Yizhou came to report, under the command of Xiaobao, the Jiannan economic war successfully defeated Tubo, swallowed all the funds invested by Tubo, and implicated the local businessmen who cooperated with Tubo, the farming people had a slight income, and the rest of the people did not suffer too much loss, and the Zhang family is preparing to compensate the people who have lost due to the rush to buy high-priced grain."

Gao Lishi said it to everyone, and a courtier next to him pursed his lips and muttered: "The Zhang family is kind, and the people go to buy it themselves, so why bother with them if they lose?" Isn't it clear that when you rush to buy, you are helping the Tubo people? small

As soon as his words fell, Gao Lishi heard it and said to him: "This is wrong, how did the people know that Jiannan was engaged in a dark war that could not see blood but could also kill people before the dust settled?" Since Tubo could not be killed directly before, it was responsible to the people.

"Yes, go on." Li Longji spoke out and helped Gao Lishi. "Your Majesty, according to the statistics of the Zhang family, Tubo and the merchants invested about 400,000 yuan to carry out an economic attack on Jiannan. effect, magnifying the invested funds by five times. Jiannan Province has endured the impact of nearly 2 million yuan of travel capital.

The Zhang family has invested 25 times, in the form of futures contracts, to draw up half of the Tibetan pole operation means, and through technology and public opinion, successfully limited the money invested by Tubo and businessmen to a small range, and cooperated with other local businessmen to stabilize the market reputation of tricycles, in the name of the newly built road suitable for tricycles, to carry out a direct attack on the means of purchasing livestock in Tubo.

The specific method of operation will be sent later, this economic war for Xiao Xiaobao in Tubo remote command, returned to Zeng said, there are too many regrets, can not be controlled at any time.

Colliers tried to use a bland tone as much as possible, and as for the various words, the officials in the court knew them. They now have to learn and understand as soon as they listen.

Li Longji chucked slightly, he didn't know the details of the inside, and he needed to wait for the news to arrive in the capital with an urgent report to make it clear, and he saw for the first time what a real economic war was like. When you think about it, the concrete things must not be as plain as they appear on the surface.

Next to the one. The minister suddenly asked, "General Gao, I don't know if the news has been said, where has the money invested by Tubo and the merchants who cooperated with it gone?" Some of them are taken up by those who have food, so can't they occupy 400,000 yuan? And where is the money spent by the local people to buy them? ”

"I didn't say this, I think the Zhang family took it," Xiao Gaolishi replied.

"If the Zhang family takes it, then who should this money go to in the end?" The minister asked again.

The rest of the people couldn't help but think about it. yes. Does the money have to be given to the Zhang family in the end? Will that make the Zhang family feel that as long as they fight an economic war, they can get benefits. Nothing to do in the future to get out and play with it once?

Gao Lishi did not directly answer other people's questions, but continued to Li Longji: "Your Majesty. Juan Juan came back, won a big victory, continued to sneak attack in the territory of Tubo, burned countless grain and grass in Tubo, killed countless enemies, defeated the Tubo Iron Cavalry Army, and returned from the snow-capped mountains.

This sneak attack operation, when killing the enemy, is also to cooperate with Xiaobao's economic warfare. Tibet is in danger this winter. Xiaobao wants to exchange the surplus grain in Jiannan for low-cost livestock in Tibet, and use the exchanged livestock in the local transportation and cultivation places in Jiannan Province, and only charge a small fee for use, which will be supplemented by the local medical center in the future. ”

Now the ministers understood that the Zhang family gave the benefits to the entire Jiannan Province, and it was the people of Jiannan Province and the local government who really got the money, and the Zhang family did not ask for the money themselves.

The minister who had just questioned him could not say anything.

Li Longji also didn't know the specifics of Wang Juan's battle, so he could only wait for the follow-up news.

"So, Tubo is now short of food, and the army has been beaten to the point that it has no morale? Unable to Kou Bian within a few years, Zhongqing said, when will Zhang Zhong come back and where will he go? And how should the juan and treasure be rewarded? ”

Li Longji thought about it and asked the ministers.

Now the court was lively, and there were all kinds of things, and some said that Wang Juan should be allowed to bring more soldiers to continue to attack Tubo, instead of exchanging grain for the livestock merchants who were invited. Hit down. Livestock are not there. Some people say that Zhang Zhong should be allowed to return to the capital as an idle official, after all, he has done too much and needs to rest, which means that Zhang Zhongzai's prestige is getting higher and higher, and it should be restricted.

Others proposed that Zhang Zhong continue to be the assassin of a state, and arrange for Xiaobao and Juan Juan to be local officials.

In short, there is everything to say, and even more so let Xiaobao participate in next year's imperial examination, because Zhang Zhong is the history of assassination, there is no problem in giving Xiaobao the identity of a lifter, and the things that can be examined can be saved, if it can be done, let Xiaobao go to the court as an official.

Li Longji is also thinking about this problem, Zhang Zhong's position is simple for him, just arrange a place, even if he enters Beijing, it is nothing.

Mainly Xiaobao and Juan Juan, needless to say, the ability of the two people, one can fight well, and when the Tubo army is not four times that of the enemy, he can only use defensive means, how crazy is this? To arrange a general with real power, Xiao did not dare to object.

Xiaobao didn't seem to kill many people in Tubo so directly, but it was an economic war in Jiannan Province. In the case of long-range command, it can also win so neatly, and it is definitely not bad in the economy, and the layout of anticipating the enemy first, the person who arranged Tubo to be ranked eleventh on the Monopoly game list has no power to fight back.

Arrange a county order for him, and he will definitely be able to do it well. What's more, he has the help of his family.

But the two babies are too small, according to the rules. Once a local assignment is placed, one cannot be in the same place as the family. I don't know if they are willing or not, if they are unwilling, they can't do anything to the two babies.

In the debate, time passed quickly, and the time of the usual morning dynasty had long passed, and if the argument continued like this, it was estimated that there would be no need to eat.

Gao Lishi didn't participate, he was thinking about when he would meet Xiaobao and Juan Juan's real person. Let Xiao You be a righteous son, worried that Xiao Xiaobao will not do it.

After waiting for a while, seeing that there was no result in the argument, Gao Lishi came to Li Longji's side. said quietly: "Your Majesty, it's better to wait for Zhang Zhong to come back after the New Year, and then ask his family." Look at how his family is planning, and there is another thing, the benefits to the Zhang family, the Zhang family proposed to ask for land in Jiannan Province or Hebei Province. This should always be considered, is it to give or not to give? ”

"Giving, how can you reassure people if you don't give? Can be linked to hear. The Zhang family is actually not ready to be in an important place in Jiannan Province. Give two places, is to go to Hebei Province, but Hebei Province local Union does not want to give, his family wants to raise horses, Hebei Province is too close to the sea, his family's shipping is big, what should I do? ”

Li Longji thought of the news that came last time, the Zhang family wanted a place to raise horses and a desert. The desert is good to say, it is not the land of the Tang Dynasty, it is given, and the Zhang family also specializes in cultivating people who can adapt to the cold on the snow-capped mountains, which means that they want to come to Hebei Province.

This is difficult, and the employment of people should not be so casual, otherwise it is easy to make a big mistake.

Gao Lishi didn't know what to say, mainly because the layout of the Zhang family was incomprehensible. What do you want to do in Hebei Road?

Li Longji didn't have to let Gao Lishi come up with any ideas, he just said it casually, and after thinking about it, he said: "Raise horses." In this case, let's arrange it to Fengzhou, which is closer to the capital than Hebei Province, not next to the sea, and has a small population. The Zhang family can't do anything even if they want to, how about it? ”

Gao Lishi nodded, in fact, he didn't want the Zhang family to get a piece of land over there, it seemed that the imperial court was too stingy, if there was heavy snow, the road would be a letter, and it would be inconvenient to communicate with here, even if the Zhang family sent someone over, the news would be blocked.

When the emperor said this, it was almost decided, and his own opposition was not of much use. What's more, the Zhang family has a great ability to make money, and it is not a slightly bad place, and Xiaobao and they will not go to Fengzhou in person.

Li Longji also seems to feel that this is a bit bad. So he said: "You can carve out more land in Fengzhou." ”

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were still telling stories to the little ones at home in Yizhou at this time, turning the events on the battlefield in Tubo into fairy tales, and they didn't know that the capital was already fighting for their family's affairs.

It is even more unclear that before the follow-up means were used, Li Longji had already arranged for the place to be in Fengzhou as they had envisioned.

"On this day, the army of the Tang Dynasty came to the desert, there are a lot of sand in the desert, it doesn't hurt to fall on it, unlike other deserts, there are lakes in the desert here, the lake water is clear and blue, and there are big shells growing in the lake.

When the Tang army arrived in the desert and there was no water, they drank water in the lake, and picked shells in the lake if they had nothing to eat. But the lake is also very deep, and some people in the Tang army can't swim, so they can only watch others pick Bei Liang to eat, and they are anxious on the side. ”

Zhang Xiaoxiaobao told the little ones about the things in the desert, tried to remove the bloody places, and described the scenery there.

"Wouldn't it be okay for those who can swim to catch shells for those who can't swim? Becky heard this. Speak your mind.

"Xiaobei is so smart, just like Xiaobei said, the help of swimming can't swim, in the end, everyone is full, when they eat, there are beautiful pearls in the shells, they didn't hide the curtain secretly, but gave you Sister Juanjuan, and your Sister Juan put it away."

"Put it away and bring it back to us, I know, when I go to swim in the desert later, I'll find pearls for them." Becky reacts very quickly. Immediately I knew who the pearl belonged to, and I made a swimming motion when I spoke.

The other little ones are also clamoring to swim in the desert, and they will too, usually they play in the water when it's hot, and they have long learned to swim.

"That's right to Xiaobei, in the future, when you go to swim in the desert, not the desert, but the lake in the desert, remember to pick shells, this shell, after a long time, someone will come out of it to see who can find someone."

Zhang Xiaobao is tired of telling stories, and telling stories with a little baby needs to adjust his mentality to the level of a little baby, so that he can look at the world with the eyes of a little baby, and he can't understand it.

Xiaobei nodded his head vigorously, and asked urgingly, "What about later?" ”

"Later, then there were big fish coming out of the lake, and they wanted to eat the people who picked shells, you saw the big fish, the big fish in the water are amazing, such a long big fish, even I can't deal with it when I go in, I can only run away, and if I run slowly, I will be eaten by the big fish."

Zhang Xiaobao drew a length at random, and the little guys were all nodding, they did see the dried fish they got back, the largest one. It's more than five feet long, and it's scary.

"So what happens next? Xiaozhu asked worriedly.

"Later, what are we? We are the undefeated Tang army, if one person can't beat it, just two people, if two people can't beat it, just ten people, and finally more than 200 people in Bu'an. It's not good, it just wants to run, you guess, it's smart. Double have? ”

Zhang Xiaobao said with a mighty look.

"Nope. The little baby shook her head together.

"Yes, I didn't run, more than 200 of us surrounded it, and someone said it to Big Fish. It's not right for you to do this, we just want to eat some shells, and if you rush out to hurt us, we will eat you, so everyone rushed up and killed the big fish that was not convinced, but they were not willing to eat meat, and left it to you

Zhang Xiaobao waved his fists again when telling the story. It's a kick again, so that the plot in the story is more vivid.

In fact, there were no more than 200 people at all, and the four people of the seedling protection team went down, and as soon as the military pierced it, it didn't take long for the fish to float.

How did the little ones know how powerful the people of the zero seedling protection team of their family were, and they really thought that their brother and sister had dispatched 200 people for a fish.

Xiaobei pursed her lips for a while and said, "The big fish is too bad to let people eat." I deserved it, I ate it, but what about later? How did you hide? ”

"Later, didn't the big fish kill later? We are now that the lake is so big, so let the people who can't swim learn to swim, swim in the water to avoid the scouts of the Tibetans, what about me, in order to see where the Tibetans are, let the water clouds fly to the sky, and fly in the sky and wait for the opportunity to let you fly once.

I flew into the blue sky and was with Baiyun, who turned into a lamb for a while to play with me. After a while, it turned into a bun for me to eat, and I wanted to bring you back a little bit, but I only ate it, and I couldn't take it. I was then "little boy and little lady, someone from Tibet." They said that they had agreed to exchange livestock for food, and wanted us to negotiate the price with them

A person came from outside the courtyard to report to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.

Wang Juan was watching Zhang Xiaobao make up a story, and when he heard that the people from Tubo were coming, he said to the people who came: "Tell the people in Tubo, let them wait, Xiaobao and I will go and talk to them, and now we are busy telling stories to my younger brothers and sisters, they don't know how important Xiaobao is, and continues, the buns didn't come back, what's wrong?" ”

Xiaobei They also think that the people of Tubo will not find the time, which thing is important and I don't know, listen to the story.

Zhang Xiaobao also thinks so, telling stories to his younger brothers and sisters is a big deal, and the people from Tubo let them wait, and they can't delay the business. Then he said, "Then I asked Bai Yun, how can I let my younger brothers and sisters eat it too?" Bai Yun told me a way, make marshmallows, and make them for you to eat in a while. ”

The little ones couldn't help but stick out their tongues and lick their lips. After waiting a while, I followed my brother and sister to make marshmallows.

It's easy to find a craftsman to assemble the equipment. It is heated and rotated, and then in the box with the lead that can generate centrifugal force, a small cane sugar is taken and a chopstick is taken next to it, and after a while, a big marshmallow comes out.

After the little ones ate there one by one, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan took a few more marshmallows to meet the people from Tubo.

The person sent by the Tibetans was a person from the Kemu Kehu tribe who knew a lot about economics. He led the team to negotiate, one was about war, and the other was about exchanging livestock for food.

But when he talked about it to the outside world, he only talked about the exchange, and did not say anything about the war, so that the Tubo people who came with him couldn't understand why he did this.

They arrived in Yizhou the day before yesterday, and since they knew that the juan had come back from the snow, the troops outside the pass had withdrawn, and they really couldn't afford to consume it.

Zhang Zhong robbed a little grain, was burned by Wang Juan part of the grain, more food was consumed on the march, in order to catch Wang Juan, the army of Tubo was mobilized too much, grain and grass kept consuming, and if you don't want to think of a way, many people will starve to death this winter, and only in spring can there be wild vegetables to replenish.

Kemu Ji can speak the words of Datang, he is still very fluent, he also has a lot of research on the culture of Datang, after arriving here, he was not busy meeting the negotiators, but heard a lot of news in the local area, and asked to meet and negotiate when he was ready.

He originally thought that Datang would send a large team to negotiate with him, and there were many experienced people among them.

But after revealing his identity. The reaction of the people in Yizhou was too cold. I didn't take myself seriously at all, but I came on behalf of a country.

I waited for an hour before someone came with the news. The people who said that they were negotiating with themselves were Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan who entered Tibet this time.

It's just that the two of them are now busy with very important business, telling stories to their younger brothers and sisters, let them wait a while, and then talk about it when they are finished.

Some of the people brought by Kemu and Ji were reluctant at that time, shouting in protest, and even threatening to fight if they didn't come to Tubo again, but they were stopped by Kemu Jiji.

Although he was also very angry in his heart. But he didn't dare to let his subordinates completely say the words of the soldiers, in case one of them was unhappy and didn't talk about it, this time it would be in vain, this time it was not only about exchanging food back, but also a plan.

After waiting for another hour and a half, the lunch time was over, and Zhang Bao and Wang Juan, who had finished telling the story to the little ones and made marshmallows, came over with marshmallows.

When the two of them came, there were only the two maids who accompanied them, and the three old men Bi who were already sitting here but didn't speak, and they didn't bring any more guards.

There are seven people in Tibet, and after seeing that they are two babies who have beaten their country in a mess, some people want to kill the little girl now.

But what's the matter. The person's murderous gaze looked at it, and as soon as it touched the juan's eyes, it immediately retracted.

At this time, Juan Juan has long lost the doting expression when he played with his younger brothers and sisters just now. There was a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and his pupils contracted. The lovely face revealed a cold, gloomy day worse than a rainy day.

Zhang Xiaobao was facing the people in Tubo on the side. Standing in front of Wang Juan's left, his eyes narrowed, and he saw the unkind gaze of someone on the other side. He chuckled and said, "Huh! How? Want to kill us here? I warn you, if you show that look again, I will let you bury your bones in the territory of Datang.

It's up to you? I'm not looking down on you, you really don't deserve my attention, killing you now is like pinching an ant to death, if you don't accept it, you can look at it again. ”

"Xiaobao, don't scare people, let's beat people like that, it won't be okay to scare them again, save some face for others, Grandpa Bi, Grandpa Zhang, and Grandpa Yao are also here, great, give you marshmallows, just made for Xiaobei and them."

Wang Juan also followed to strike a blow to the confidence of the Tibetan people. This kind of attitude is clearly that he didn't put the seven people from Tubo in his eyes, and walked in front of the three old men Bi.

Old man Bi also cooperated with the hand, and asked, "Xiaobei, are they sleeping?" ”

"Go to bed immediately, otherwise how can Xiaobao and I have time to take care of other trivial things, it's nothing more than a dead person in Tubo, how can it be more important than Xiaobei and them to be happy?"

Wang Juan replied with a smile, his face changed, and he turned around and handed the extra marshmallow in his hand to Ke Mu Jiji, "This reward you, try the good things of Datang, go back and talk about it, let the people of Tubo have a good look."

Ke Mu Jiji looked at Wang Juan, held back the anger in his heart, took the marshmallow, squeezed out a smile and said: "When I greet the family of General Juan in Tubo, I will definitely taste the things of the Tang Dynasty." ”

"Yes, your attitude makes me very satisfied, can I tell me what are you doing here Wang Juan sat down firmly on the chair pulled out by Zhang Xiaobao, licked the marshmallow in his hand, and clicked his mouth twice, and said to Kemu Jiji.

Kemu and the six behind him. If people hadn't been warned by the talented Zhang Xiaobao, they would really want to rush up and use force to regain their dignity.

Kemu took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. said: "This time, there are two things to say, the first one, that is"

"Wait, you haven't told me your name yet. Let's talk about it first, Tubo will never send a person with no name or surname, right? "Don't wait for Kemu to finish speaking. Wang Juan interrupted him and asked.

"Contemptible people can be touched." But the emotions that Mu Ji and had just brewed are gone.

"Oh, it's you, are you and Kemu Kehu together? Your name is about the same, he is my defeated general, and it is thanks to him that he did not come, otherwise I would have to ask him if he dared...... Wang Juan continued to talk about selfishness

Ke Mu and the hand under the table clenched into a fist, released it again, and nodded, "It's a person, but the name has nothing to do with it, the war is over, don't talk about things on the battlefield, I have two things to talk about, the first." That is the situation in terms of war, and I would like to ask if the Tang Dynasty is willing to maintain the two countries."

"Wait a minute, you are really contradictory when you speak, just now you said that the war is over, not talking about things on the battlefield, then what is the situation of the war, by the way, what is your name? I was just thinking about how to make marshmallows taste better, forget about it, you're talking about it again. I'm sorry

Wang Juan said apologetically to Kemu Jiji.

"My name is Kemu Jiji, and I say the situation of the war because we are not on the battlefield now. I want to know the Tang Dynasty that you represent

"You and Kemu Kehu are not brothers, are they? It looks a lot like it, didn't lie to me? Wang Juan interrupted Ke Mu Ji again.

"Can you continue negotiating? If we don't talk about it, we'll go back, and then we'll lead the troops to talk. Ke Mu and the person next to him finally couldn't help it, and asked with a glare.

Wang Juan looked over contemptuously and nodded, "Okay." Welcome the Tubo leaders to come and talk, I am ready to go out again, and you Tubo famous generals to discuss the way of war, but this time I will not bring less than 10,000 light cavalry to fight with you, I will mobilize the entire Jiannan Road guards will meet you Tubo, please, do not send

As soon as Mu Ji heard his own words, he knew that he was going to be in trouble, and sure enough, Wang Juan's reaction was too intense.

He hurriedly scolded the people around him: "Shut up, otherwise I will definitely inform the above about this when I go back." ”

But Mu Ji is angry, why can't the people he brought can't help it? What do you say to the demons about sending troops? People are afraid of this. Is it?

The person next to him also knew that he had made a mistake, and he gasped for breath, lowered his head and said nothing.

Ke Mu Ji turned back and said to Wang Juan: "Don't take Fang Cai's words to heart, tell the truth." Tubo doesn't want to fight anymore, after all, this year is not so easy, what I want to say is, can Datang truce with me Tubo? And compensate me for the loss of Tibet. ”

"Do you still want to make a face? Why should you compensate Tibet? You don't want to fight, I still want to fight. I'm not addicted to killing, and in the past, you used to have to speak in the tone of a victorious country, and you still want to do this this year? Then I'll fight until you are convinced, don't believe it, let's try. I'll immediately let people mobilize the army, I'm going to send 100,000 troops, see how many people you use in Tubo to encircle and chop? Want to fight? Yes, admit your mistake first, you shouldn't go to harm the people of Wangjiang, and compensate for the loss of Wangjiang in Shuzhou, and wait for Xiaobao to calculate the specific compensation.

Second, compensate for the losses of our Datang in this war, including the small actions you made behind your back. The bullshit self-righteous economic war, both of which have to be compensated, and the specific amount will be discussed when Xiaobao calculates it.

Third, what princess of yours, send Duoduo to my Datang, marry us to show your sincerity, send three first, do you have three? If you don't have it, you have to find a way.

Fourth, hand over the culprits who supported this war, I don't care who you put the blame on, you have to hand over one anyway. Let me have a public trial.

That's all I have to say about the war, and I don't agree. I'll immediately soldier, and a few of you must stay, don't think about going back, I'm like this; Don't dare to do things according to the rules, do you have anything to add?

Wang Juan's attitude is very tough, tough to the extent that he is bullying people.

Seven from Tibet. Everyone looked at Wang Juan with wide eyes, they didn't expect it anyway. This girl is so belligerent, she will fight each other if she doesn't agree, if it weren't for the fact that she has a famous reputation in Tubo, I really thought she was joking.

But not now, she really has such a ability, when she has 100,000 soldiers, how many troops in Tubo can compete with it?

But Mu Jiji was worried after listening to Wang Juan's words, and the little baby was really not good at talking, and he didn't talk about anything when he thought of it, and he didn't say anything at all.

But this little baby is different from other babies. She really has the ability to lead the troops to fight, and she can still win.

Thinking of this, Ke Mu Jihe said to Wang Juan: "You can talk slowly, don't be in a hurry, I don't have to make decisions about this matter, it's better to wait, let's talk about another thing first." ”

"Okay, I'm not in a hurry, Xiaobei, they should have already slept, I won't delay telling them stories if I talk to you for a while, if I can't finish talking about the war today, I'll talk about it tomorrow, and if I can't finish talking about it tomorrow, I will continue to postpone it, and I can delay it until spring.

I'll also rest, and if the wild vegetables come out in the spring, and the conversation is not finished, I will lead the troops over and talk to the people you really talk to. hit your capital, think about it, everyone knows how to talk, and when the wild vegetables come out, Xiaobao, do you say okay? ”

Wang Juan pinched off a piece of marshmallow, threw it in his mouth, and said to Kemu Ji Ji while smacking. Finally, I asked Zhang Xiaobao.

Zhang Xiaobao is calculating how much compensation he needs from the other party, if he doesn't make a lot of money from the war after winning, wouldn't it be a loss, which is not in line with his own and Juanjuan's style of acting. Diao, said! "I'm not in a hurry, I'm really not in a hurry. Anyway, today's food is enough, and there is no shortage of livestock, so we will drag it out until the beginning of spring next year, and it will be a rush to send troops, juanjuan, you fight yours, don't worry about the lack of food, I will prepare it for you from other places.

We have a clear division of labor, I am in charge of logistics, you are in charge of killing, as long as you dare to kill, I will ensure that you have no worries about logistics, you are my daughter-in-law in the future, how can you let your daughter-in-law suffer, come, kiss one. ”

Zhang Xiaobao leaned his face over as he spoke, Xiao Wang Juan smiled, and really kissed Xiaobao on Zhang Xiaobao's face, I knew you were the best. Know me, know that I like to kill, and you will do the same when I want to hit people in the future. ”

"Okay, I don't help my daughter-in-law to help anyone, kiss another one." Zhang Xiaobao replied.

Just when Kemu and the others were miserable, Old Man Zhang finally couldn't help it, and laughed, he didn't expect Xiaobao and Juan Juan to be so interesting. The negotiations between the two countries are not usually at home. Even if I am usually at home, I haven't seen the two babies kissing each other, what do you think of this place? What do you think of Tibet?

Kemu Jiji has to admit that the two babies on the opposite side are very compatible, but the problem is that this is not a place to flirt.

So he said: "Juan Juan and Xiaobao are really a pair of Bi people, let's talk about exchanging my Tubo livestock for Tang grain first."

"Thanks for the compliment." Wang Juan smiled and thanked him, "Say change things, I can't call the shots about this, Xiaobao, it's your turn, don't forget it, they are not going to talk about war reparations now." ”

Zhang Xiaoan pushed the big abacus aside. Nodding his head, he said, "Okay, I'll do that," but Mu and I, right? You say how to change. In this way, I will first state my conditions and let you take the initiative, what do you think? ”

Kemu Jiji patted his head with his hand, he was crazy, why did he put these two on the table during the negotiation? Do you still take the initiative, do you have the time to take the initiative?

People have brought it up, let's talk about it first, then let's talk about it? Kemu and motioned for Zhang Xiaobao to speak.

Zhang Xiaoxiaobao looked excited, rubbed his hands, his eyes lit up, coughed, and said: "Because of the trouble behind your Tubo, the economy of my Jiannan Province has almost been impacted. It has caused great damage to the entire financial system. So, in the spirit of pacifism, we are in the midst of the instability of our own financial system. Resolutely decided to help neighboring countries.

But we just can't get too much food. For example, rice, not at all, for example, wheat, not at all, we only have corn to provide to you.

I'm sure you've learned a lot of things before you came, and even if you don't know about it, I'll tell you about it, because you've controlled the price of grain in my Jiannan Province, and we're having a hard time. Coupled with your actions against the livestock industry at the same time, the livestock of my Jiannan Province have reached the point of not having enough to eat.

Most of the corn is fed to livestock. The rest will be exchanged for you, fifty wen for a bucket of corn, and you will exchange it for livestock, how about it? ”

Kemu and the others were stunned, these words came out of the mouth of a little baby, which made people feel very ridiculous, but the little baby was very unreasonable.

Such an excuse and price, and scolding, do you want to be ashamed? What kind of corn can be fifty dollars a bucket? The emperor of the capital can't eat?

Ke Mu and the people behind him wanted to refute again, but they were stopped by Ke Mu and Ji, he had his own thoughts, and said: "Fifty Wen tell the truth. It's really expensive, but since it's not easy for you, let's go for the price.

Due to the war, there is also a lot less grain and grass in Tibet, and it is not easy to raise livestock. A donkey, even if it is fifteen yuan, and a horse that pulls a cart is even twenty yuan, how about exchanging it with you? ”

"So cheap? Do donkeys and ordinary horses pulling carts really only need this little money? Zhang Xiaobao asked in surprise.

"Exactly." Ke Mu and he responded with a smile.

Zhang Xiaobao said with a sad look: "Cheap is cheap, but it's a pity that we were not going to change livestock for work, we have tricycles." I want to kill and eat meat, if it is really at this price, then it is better to eat meat from other places, we can't afford to raise it, and the livestock eat too much.

In that case, let us use the surplus corn in exchange for livestock in our own country, and wait two months, and if we have any surplus, then we will not give you money in vain, and we will not let your people starve to death. ”

Zhang Xiaobao said very helplessly, but the meaning expressed did not have a sense of helplessness, that is, he did not change it, and refused very tactfully.

thought that the other party would bargain back, and when the time came, Kemu would be stupid at this time. The other party refused directly.

The two maids who were in charge of pouring water for the tea next to them resisted the urge to laugh, and their eyes were full of pity when they looked at Kemu and the seven people, and said in their hearts Who are you not talking to, unless you meet the little boy and the little lady, the means you thought of at the beginning can't be used, right?

The three of them were very comfortable on the side, they originally thought that this negotiation would be very difficult, because Tubo had talked with Datang before, and they couldn't get better every time.

Sometimes I take a tough stance on my side. The other side does not compromise at all, mainly because both sides are adults, and they both know that war is not child's play. If you can make peace, unless you are sure, you can risk using war to threaten, but what I didn't expect was that if it was replaced by two babies, the other party was helpless.

The little baby is not like an adult, he thinks about a lot of things, and he will do what he thinks is right, if an adult threatens to send troops, the people of Tubo will not believe it, but Juan Juan said that he will send troops, then there is absolutely nothing to doubt.

Because she doesn't think about anything else at all. Regardless of the situation within the country, she just wants to fight.

Awesome, it's amazing.

The three old men had this idea in their hearts at the same time, they didn't think that Juan Juan and Xiaobao didn't know the cost of the war, but the two babies clearly knew it in their hearts, but they used the advantage of age to put pressure on the Tubo people, and the effect was still so good.

Kemu and where did he know the skills of Juan Juan and Xiaobao, he was really scared, the two babies were really easy to say and do. So he asked tentatively, "Then how much do you think you should have enough to eat meat?" "Huh? Eat meat? You don't have much money to eat meat, and you don't have to eat donkeys and horses for meat, do you have cows? If you have a cow, the price can be more expensive, and a normal cow can be counted as fifteen times. After all, my Datang cattle are not so delicious. The court is in charge.

If donkeys and ordinary horses are useless, we can replace them with poultry meat, and our family will do this, and it is very easy to raise, and if you sell a chicken, it will be 20 wen according to the words sold in my Zhuangzi. It weighs about ten pounds, and one pound is just two pennies. How much can a donkey weigh? Give you more calculations. Two hundred catties, that's four hundred dollars, how much can a horse weigh? I'll count more, count him four hundred pounds,

head

Isn't this price coming out? The donkey is basically 400 Wen, the horse is 800 Wen, and the ox is 1,200 Wen, that is, the other 200 Wen has always been the same. At that time, the specific weight must be weighed specifically.

Of course, there is one more thing that I have to compensate you for. After all, you have arrived, and sometimes the weight will drop, in the spirit of friendship between us. I'm willing to pay this money, a pound plus a penny, a lot, right? ”

Zhang Xiaobao gave such a price, using the price of chickens and measuring the price of livestock according to weight, in Zhangjiazhuangzi in Sanshui County, the internal price can be sold for 20 Wen, which is a lot. Whoever has nothing to do to buy someone else's, will raise it at his own home.

"How is this possible? That's a donkey and a cow, not to mention the use, but the taste is different. Kemu and argued that he could never sell it at this price.

"Why doesn't it taste the same? Truly. It's not as good as chicken, my smoked chicken and roast chicken are not ordinary things, and I'll ask you to taste the taste in a moment, and as long as you can make the donkey meat and beef taste to this extent, I'll raise the price for you. ”

Zhang Xiaobao also retorted.

Kemu and seven people have already tasted it, and there is a special shop for smoked chicken and roast chicken here in Yizhou. I don't know what's in it. The taste is really good, especially when the loose-bone chicken grabs one leg and shakes it slightly, and the meat will fall.

But this is not because the chicken is really delicious, it is caused by the different means and seasonings used when making it, even if it is livestock, if the same method is used, the taste can only be better.

But Mu Jiji knew it in his heart, but he couldn't say it, he knew it, once he said it. Then the other party has another reason to lower the price. First of all, raise the price of livestock on your side. Then I talked about the cost of production, and in the end, maybe it would be lower than the current one.

Negotiation naturally requires means. But Ben and Ji immediately put this matter aside again, and said to Wang Juan: "The price is too low, let's talk about the war." It's better to do this, I Tubo will compensate Zhang and Wang for 100,000 yuan, and then compensate Datang for 50,000 yuan, and Datang will no longer be able to Tubo soldiers against me. ”

"That's not good, it's too little, you have to compensate my family for 200,000 yuan, and compensate me for the 100,000 yuan of bereavement for the soldiers, otherwise Datang will fight."

Wang Juan shook his head at Kemu and refused, and said his conditions, which didn't sound like much, and the total was only 300,000 yuan.

For Tubo, 300,000 yuan of money can be easily taken out, but the purpose of Mu Ji is no longer this.

He asked Wang Juan again, "Then forget what you said?" When the time comes, I will really lose money. You can't repent it, make a note. ”

"Okay, Xiaobao, write." Wang Juan agreed without the slightest hesitation, and Zhang Xiaobao wrote a contract, which contained the content of what Wang Juan said, in duplicate, and the two parties pressed their handprints.

Kemu Jiji happily put it away, and was about to leave the next step without mentioning the second thing, when Wang Juan smiled at him and said:

"But the wood is in reach, the notes are all written, a medium, within a month, you Tubo will send things over, it must be to reach 300,000 yuan, I have the note in hand, if you dare to lie to me, if I don't organize an army of 300,000 to slaughter your Tubo, I will hang Xiaobao at the Pengzhou Pass."

"I promise to support you, even if I sell all the business in my family, I will raise enough money for you to attack Tubo, and it is a big deal to kill all the Tubo people and then find a profitable business to do again. If I can't, I'll hang myself there with you. Zhang Xiaobao said supportively.

As soon as the two of them said this, Kemu and the seven people, including Old Man Bi, were all moved, and what they said was too ruthless, gambling with their own lives to threaten the other party to see if they would send troops.

Kemu Jiji smiled awkwardly and said, "It doesn't have to be like this, right? ”

"It's necessary, and I do what I say. It's like when you entered Tibet and killed tens of thousands of you. My words are the final decision, and no one can change it. Wang Juan stared at Ke Mu Jiji's eyes and said word by word.

"Okay, I must give it, 300,000 yuan will be delivered within a month." But Mu Ji didn't dare to doubt this little girl's determination, such a big baby can do anything.

As soon as Mu Ji agreed, Wang Juan smiled, turned his head to Old Man Bi and said: "Grandpa Bi, you hurry up and send a letter to the capital, just say that I am in charge of the imperial court, and when the time comes, all the 200,000 yuan that my family gets will be given to the imperial court, and my family will not play a penny." ”

Old man Bi nodded with a smile, and said to Wang Juan: "Juan Juan, there is no need to do this, your family is to leave 300,000 yuan, and the court will not say anything about the emperor is a generation of famous monarchs, the portrait of you and Bao is posted in the emperor's study, and when you see the emperor, make something good for the emperor to eat, even if you are about to mobilize the entire Jiannan Dao soldiers, the emperor will happily agree to you."

You may not know that when you were leading the troops, the court was waiting for the news of your return every day, and even after the court had stopped the proceedings, you had to take care of the news from Yizhou first. ”

"Yes, that's right, Juan Juan, you don't know how many people you and Xiaobao like, you agreed, what about representing the imperial court? No one will condemn you. Old man Yao also said with help.

Wang Juan showed a bright smile, turned his head to the stunned Kemu Jiji and said, "Did you hear that?" Hurry up and get me the money, you want to play tricks with me, you are still a little too tender, who am I? I am a little baby, who can see the same as a little baby? ”

Kemu Jiji looked at Wang Juan blankly, he was really surprised, surprised by the connivance of the imperial court at Wang Juan, and also surprised by Wang Juan's intelligence, he actually knew what he was going to do next.

Yes, I want to achieve the goal of discord through this negotiation, so that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty no longer believes in Wang Juan, and even treats the crimes of Zhang and Wang, if you can make Zhang and Wang leave Futang with a grudge, it would be better.

But what I didn't expect was. As soon as his plan began, the family was made aware of it, and the news from the other two people was hard to believe.

The court in the capital of the Tang Dynasty has long recognized Juan Juan and Xiaobao, and if you look at it this way, 300,000 guan must be given, and Juan Juan will not be guaranteed to send troops. It's the same if she is in her position.

When Kemu was thinking about things. After eating the marshmallows, Wang Juan yawned and said, "Let's stop here today, you can send a letter back to ask first, and then discuss the matter of exchanging livestock for grain tomorrow." ”

After speaking, Wang Juan got up and left, Zhang Xiaobao followed, and the three of them were also not accompanied, only the two maids were responsible for arranging a place for Kemu and the seven people to rest, and the money for this rest was not needed, and the Zhang and Wang families were responsible for it.

After Ke Mu returned to the accommodation arranged by the Zhang family, he began to prepare to write a letter and dip his pen into it

Now, when Kuang Bei was writing, he suddenly didn't know how to write "one."

Did you write that you were unsuccessful in negotiations, and when you calculated people, they were calculated by others. Let Tubo lose 300,000 yuan of money all of a sudden?

In the past, even if he was defeated, he didn't say that he would compensate Datang when he was defeated, and today he will talk about such a result?

It's too late to regret it, the handprints are pressed, if you don't give money, Tubo will wait for this winter to be attacked by the Tang Dynasty's army, and it will be led by Juan Juan.

After thinking about it for a while, Kemu Jiji felt that he had made a mistake, sighed helplessly, picked up the pen and began to write on the paper, and the other six followed him to the person who was very honestly waiting aside. They can be regarded as seeing the difficulty of negotiation today, Juan Juan and Xiaobao don't care about anything else at all, as long as they think about it, they will say it immediately, and they are even willing to sell all their family property for money to attack for a single note.

Such an opponent has never been seen before, or even heard of it, but the court may admit that it is unlucky, and today is really unlucky.

The man who looked at Wang Juan at the beginning with murderous intent muttered: "I knew that we should have killed the two little guys, as long as they don't lead the army, do you need to be afraid that they won't succeed?" Even if I wait until the end, I'll die. ”

At this time, Kemu, who had finished writing the letter, poured all the anger in his stomach on this person.

"Then why don't you Liu Cai do it? You other people shrank their heads in fright when they said a word, and now you dare to talk about this? Kill, kill, do you really think the two of them are so easy to kill? Needless to say, you just take one more look at the past at that time. You're dead now, and they don't care about what the two countries are at war with. ”

Kemu Jiji always felt that he was very dangerous when he sat opposite the juan, and he didn't know where the specific danger came from, but he just didn't dare to do it casually.

After teaching the people who came with him, he began to think about how to exchange the livestock of Tubo for more food, otherwise many people would starve to death this winter.

The person who was silenced was silent, but Mu Ji said something in his heart that he didn't want to mention. He was stared at by Zhang Xiaobao at that time, and he felt that his soul was about to be gone, as if he would be killed in the next moment.

The other five were also silent, and they looked very helpless about the outcome of today's negotiations. I can't help much, and I can't get the momentum of Tibet, so people just want to send troops when they open their mouths and keep their mouths closed. What else is there to speak of?

When Kemu and sent the messenger away. The whole person seemed to have just been fished out of the water, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are much easier, the victorious country and the defeated country can negotiate, if the defeated country can still benefit, then the negotiators should not be killed.

Wang Juan began to plan what kind of means could be used to make Tubo really scared and put him at a disadvantage in future negotiations.

Zhang Xiaobao is calculating how much compensation is needed from the other party, and he can't ask for the price casually, taking into account the other party's bearing psychology and the financial support of the Tubo State.

After calculating, Zhang Xiaobao stopped and said to Wang Juan: "It is estimated that it is impossible for them to compensate too much at one time, it will take a few years, and the time in the past few years is not very easy." Especially after we left Yizhou, the people of Tibet are easy to regret easily. ”

"Isn't the compensation 300,000? Could it be that he can't take out this money? Wang Juan didn't expect Zhang Xiaobao to prepare Tubo to pay in installments. Asked suspiciously.

"300,000 guan is a direct war compensation, as well as the compensation of the people of Wangjiang, this must also be calculated, the ultimate purpose of killing people is also to get benefits, what is the use of killing people all over the world if there is no benefit, I am ready to let them compensate Wangjiang there 600,000 guan, including compensation for the families of those who still died, and compensation for the economic construction of this matter.

As for the death of the whole family, there is no way, and I will be there for the compensation. The local government has set up a separate fund to help build the local area, and we can't ask for this money, so we can return it to the people.

How could Tubo come up with 600,000 guan? Then you have to get it by means, give them a hope first, think that when they recover a little, they don't need to come up with any more money, so that they will agree to the money in front.

My idea is to let them give 200,000 kan at once, and let them pay off the remaining 400,000 kan in five years, if there is no impact on their grain next year. They will turn around and refuse to pay. ”

Zhang Xiaobao has calculated for such a long time, even if he can get 200,000 yuan, the others are not ready to come back.

Wang Juan listened to Zhang Xiaobao's words and thought about it carefully, and finally understood Zhang Xiaobao's plan. "You mean to say that we have an excuse when we want to hit them," he said. Isn't it? I knew they would pay off. I still brought it up, and gave it back to them. Opportunity to default. ”

Zhang Xiaobao nodded, "Yes, that's what I think, Tubo must be defeated in the future, even if you don't need to lead the troops, Li Longji will not let them go, especially because of our arrival." Let the economic situation of Datang change in advance, Li Longji absolutely can't bear the opportunity not to fight. Instead, they kept waiting.

After a period of time, our good gunpowder formula and technology can become a condition of exchange with the imperial court, from which we can get a lot of benefits, as long as the imperial court mentions, then we can know whether to use foreign troops.

According to my estimates, in three years at most, the imperial court will expand to the surrounding areas, not only because of the productivity increased by the technology we provide, but also because of the exhibition of our medical school, it will be easier to have children, the population will increase significantly, and in three years, if the people work hard, some families will even be able to give birth to three children.

In addition, a lot of men died in the early war, and the proportion of women increased. It's very common that people who are a little richer will marry a few daughters-in-law, and the cycle of having children is not based on how the man is, but on the woman. ”

Wang Juan thought about it for a while, and then asked, "Then how do you know that our court will use troops against Tibet?" ”

"Because the Turks are now afraid of being beaten, and there are internal divisions, if it were you, would you attack the tough countries with superior forces first, or the countries that have already submitted to our dynasty? Even if it's for show, you have to show it to others.

Of course, you also played a key role in it, the imperial court dared to use troops against Tubo, and was not afraid that the people sent out would lose, because even if other generals lost, sending you out would be just as successful.

The chapter name is wrong, and it is corrected
