189. Blackmail was successful

Jingwen used the war to successfully make Zhao Deyan succumb. Because they don't dare to bet, if they really start a war with Datang at this time, then I'm afraid the Turks will be in danger. And that Princess Yicheng, doesn't she also hope that the Tang Dynasty and the Turks will "eat dogs", and then both will lose, so that their Sui Dynasty can be revived? And it was precisely this that the Turks knew, so they did their best to tolerate the Tang Dynasty and not provoke wars. And this is also reflected in their attitude towards Jingwen, who has been treated since he came to the Turks, this is a fact. Now Jingwen is blackmailing them with war, and they have to give in.

"What exactly do you want?" Zhao Deyan asked.

"Didn't you get a lot of good things from our treasury last year? Just give us those things! Jingwen said.

"What?" Zhao Deyan exclaimed.

Zhao Deyan didn't expect that Jingwen's appetite was so big, and he wanted the good things that the Turks got from the Tang Dynasty treasury. That's a lot of money, I'm afraid it's not less than millions. And now Jingwen actually wants to go back with red lips and white teeth, which is obviously not acceptable to the Turks.

These riches were only returned by the Turks after the war against the Tang Dynasty, but now Jingwen actually wants to go back with red lips and white teeth, which is obviously unrealistic. This wealth is also a lot of wealth for the Turks. Although the Turks were not very interested in gold, silver and jewelry, they were still interested in the copper coins in them. Copper coins were made of copper, and they had already been given to the craftsmen to make weapons.

The Turkic steppe peoples did not know how to use money, they had melted down the copper coins and used them for weapons. So. Now that Jingwen wants to come back, this is simply impossible. There were even quite a few things that were given to the generals. Can you still come back? I'm afraid, I want those generals to give up. This is impossible.

"Unless you give us back all those things, we're going to war!" Jingwen said.

"You're blackmailing!" Zhao Deyan said angrily.

"I'm blackmail!" Jingwen was not to be outdone.

Zhao Deyan suddenly felt that his three views were ruined, because in his mind, those envoys of the Central Plains Dynasty were all to show the generosity and etiquette of the Central Plains Dynasty, and they should not be bothered about for some things. According to the image of the envoys of the Central Plains Dynasty in the past, they should try their best to show the generosity and wealth of the Central Plains, and they are all gifts for foreign countries. Even, for foreign tribute. That's all about giving them back several times as many gifts. But now Jingwen is actually thinking about these wealth, but he is a complete money fan.

However, Zhao Deyan didn't know that Jingwen was a businessman because of the intelligence source, so he could be said to be calculating wealth. Don't look at it as just some money, but he can get some back.

"No way, we can't give you back! If you insist on coming back, then you can do what you love! Anyway, we have given a lot of things to those riches, and we can't get them back. Zhao Deyan said.

Jingwen saw this situation and obviously knew it. This matter cannot be forced too quickly. If you insist on this condition, I am afraid that the Turks will be forced to unacceptable. So, it should be put in a different way and lower some conditions. This might be a little better.

"In that case, we can do it another way! You give us all the cultural goods in those things, and you can compensate for the rest with your Turkic cow wool and other things. Moreover. I can give you the price of fur in the Central Plains as a compensation price. Jingwen said.

Zhao Deyan thought about it seriously and found that this is also a good way. Those cultural items. That is, what kind of pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and some calligraphy art things. For the Turks, these old and coarse peoples are worthless. Instead of letting them have cultural goods, it is better to tell them how many cattle and sheep they can add.

"I can give you those calligraphy and painting classics, but we can't give you cow wool for nothing, you must also give what we want in exchange. You can exchange it for tea. Zhao Deyan said.

Hearing what Zhao Deyan said he was willing to give back those calligraphy and painting classics, this actually made Jingwen overjoyed. In fact, Jing Wenwen never thought that Zhao Deyan would agree. It's impossible to give everything back, but it's good to give some back. Especially this kind of calligraphy and painting classics, which is a treasure of Chinese culture. And in the near future, I am afraid that it will be destroyed by war, what a wasteful thing! And the Turks probably won't be able to keep these cultural items, so it's better to come back now than to be destroyed later!

"Okay, I don't have any opinions, you can quickly send those calligraphy and painting classics to the border between my Tang Dynasty and the Turks, and then hand them over to those magistrates!" Jingwen said.

"Yes! But when are we going to talk about our dealings with trade? Zhao Deyan asked.

"We'll talk about it then!" Jingwen said.

Jingwen is not in a hurry, because it is the Turks who are in a hurry now. The Turks were addicted to tea, and even they wanted to get a lot of things from the Central Plains through trade. The grassland peoples were very dependent on many products of the Central Plains, so they urgently needed to trade. And the Ming Dynasty in later generations, didn't it often cut off trade, which made the Mongols very headache? Souyi and trade are a very important means of controlling the grassland peoples, so Jingwen naturally doesn't want to talk about it so easily, and must extort some benefits.

Although Jingwen has never been a diplomat, he has never eaten pork, so hasn't he seen a pig run? Therefore, he learned from the diplomats in the book and on the TV, and the more he had the advantage, the more he could not be in a hurry. Anyway, if the enemy is in a hurry, then the greater the benefits they will probably have to pay. This Zhao Deyan obviously has no diplomatic experience, and he is so anxious, but it makes Jingwen fearless.

But Zhao Deyan can't be blamed for this, because Zhao Deyan, a native of the Central Plains, is very contemptuous of business. Therefore, they do not understand business very much, and the ancient diplomatic thinking is also problematic. The diplomacy of the ancient Central Plains was to carry out "propaganda", not to obtain benefits. Therefore, this Zhao Deyan didn't know how to deal with a diplomat with a different style like Jingwen, so he just wanted to settle it down early and complete it as soon as possible.
