361. Mutual Market

Of course you are ready, double-edged sword, how can you also be prepared to protect yourself, and business is much more terrifying than double-edged sword, it is possible to counterattack, absolutely eagle-eyed and cold-blooded creatures with a snake and a wolf, so of course you must be prepared to deal with them, otherwise once the situation gets out of control, the first unlucky one is yourself, who will let yourself be the initiator? The emperor doesn't care about anything else, he threatens the Li family's dynasty, if you don't die, who will die?

Isn't the merchant rebellion considered by Du Ruhui actually a bourgeois revolution? Even if this happens, it will be hundreds of years later, but the merchants have a clear goal, once the revolution is held, it will not be so easy to stop, and under their own promotion, the strength they have at their disposal must not be small, otherwise how to deal with foreign countries? It is not impossible for a bourgeois revolution to occur hundreds of years in advance, is it?

But that's not what I was trying to do in the first place......

But in any case, the mutual market with the Western Turks is already a foregone conclusion, and the wealth of the Western Turks will flow into the pockets of the Tang merchants in a short period of time, into the pockets of these wealthy families, and into the pockets of the Li Dynasty, of course, the Western Turks are a fat cow, and the merchants are bloodsuckers, which cannot be sucked dry for a while and a half, and it needs to be long-term, slowly, and imperceptibly, and when this fat cow finds that he has no way to break free from the parasitic bloodsucking worms, it is time for the Tang Dynasty to slaughter the cattle.

In fact, in history, the mutual market was a very good way to maintain friendly relations between the Central Plains Dynasty and other countries, but the Central Plains Dynasty has always regarded it as a means and a threat, and used it as a strategic weapon. However, he did not notice what the mutual market could bring, such as the serious Japanese plague in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, but in fact, in the end, it was a group of southeastern residents who had no way to survive without the sea spontaneously rebelled against the Ming Dynasty sea ban policy.

The so-called Japanese are actually only one-tenth of the number, and later the main force is the Ming people, the Japanese are just a pretext, Qi Jiguang Yu Dayou and other famous anti-Japanese generals have found that they are fighting the Ming Dynasty's own people, not the Japanese invaders, at the beginning of the Japanese have been wiped out, especially since the Ming court asked the Japanese government to restrain the people, the real Japanese pirates have been greatly reduced. The main reason is that the Ming court's sea ban policy made most of the residents in the southeast who relied on the sea to eat the sea have no hope of survival. Smuggling can only take risks, and if smuggling is cracked down, you can only be a pirate, and no more. It's going to be a rebellion.

Therefore, it was actually the Ming court that reopened the sea ban after the Japanese were pacified. The sea route was opened. Returning the road to the people of the southeast coast - "the Japanese rebellion and peace", the maritime trade road is actually another form of mutual market, which happened many times in the hundreds of years of life of the Ming Dynasty. Including a large part of the reason for the war with the northern barbarians is also the reluctance of the Ming court to trade with them, they need a large number of necessities produced by the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty will not give it, so they can only fight.

I thought it would be good to fight, but the Ming Dynasty is the most stubborn existence in the Han Dynasty of China, not to be in harmony with relatives, not to pay tribute, not to pay compensation, not to be a minister, although the temperament is obedient, but extremely stubborn, just do not admit defeat, lose the comeback to continue the competition, the emperor did not fight again, must win, is not peace, so the Ming Dynasty is actually from the founding of the country to the death of the country, from the south to the north, until the death of the country......

Compared with the stubbornness of the Ming Dynasty, the rest of the Han Dynasty will be slightly overshadowed, not stubborn enough, which is also the place where the Ming Dynasty is praised, but overall, the shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty are more than the advantages, plus the Tartar Dynasty used the "History of the Ming Dynasty" case to smear, the Ming Dynasty is a negative image in the eyes of many people, and few people praise the Ming Dynasty.

I must say to His Majesty Li Er, we are the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and peace is a reluctant peace move of the Han Dynasty, and it is even more unforgivable to pay compensation and cede land and claim to be a minister, these must be completely eliminated, absolutely unacceptable, no matter who comes to intercede in the future, unless you become a Tang Dynasty person, the whole country joins the Tang Dynasty, as a reward can be married, if you want to use other ways, I'm sorry, the emperor promised me and I didn't agree! If there are no soldiers, I will use the merchant to suck you dry and suck you to death!

But as an extremely narcissistic emperor, if he knew the five nos, would he not be moved? Hearing such bold words as the Son of Heaven guarding the country, the king died Sheji, can Li Er not be moved? Anyway, Suning feels that it is unlikely that he will not be moved, although this thing is shameless, but he has a strong sense of self-esteem, so he will endure humiliation and overturn the Turkic Empire, and make the Tang Dynasty the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, his shortcomings are narcissism, he feels good about himself, and he regards everything as a reward and doesn't care.

There are some things Nima that you can not care about, and can you not care about some things? Be sure to give this product a good word, what you can not care about, what you must care!

Fortunately, now the caravan has set off, arrived within ten days, everything is a foregone conclusion, the matter is over, and then we will see how the effect is, the entire vertical and horizontal division must maintain high-level contacts with the Western Turks all the time, Suning plans to train Liu Renliang well, send him to the Western Turks to be the first ambassador of the Tang Dynasty to the Western Turks, and act as the Tang Emperor to communicate with the Western Turks, and then fully control the army and affairs in the Western Turks.

Liu Renliang can do it, he is now thirty years old, he is not a very young official, of course, let him go at this time will definitely cause an uproar, in the final analysis, he is still not qualified enough, and His Majesty Li Er is not very familiar with him, so that His Majesty Li Er agrees with him, and then he himself must have enough vertical and horizontal skills, so that he can fight for face and status for the Vertical and Horizontal Division as the façade of the Vertical and Horizontal Division, and gain a firm foothold when the Confucian Sect counterattacks.

For this purpose, Suning transcribed all the content about diplomacy in "Guiguzi" and handed it to Liu Renliang, hoping that he could make persistent efforts, continue to give full play to his strengths and knowledge, and learn and master the vertical and horizontal arts......

Liu Renliang was dizzy by Suning's beautiful promises, he was already very admired by Suning, he was inspired, and immediately went to study like a chicken blood, vowing not to disappoint Su Houye, and definitely to make some achievements, under the encouragement of such thoughts, Liu Renliang began to take off, and the Zongheng Division also began to develop rapidly, and Suning also arranged different tasks for them. It's an internship, and the effect must be very good.

During the entire inter-market period, all the affairs were taken care of by the diplomats of the Zongheng Division, and then the trained blood droplets also began to infiltrate the high-level of the Western Turks, carrying out intelligence gathering work, and monitoring the ideological trends of the high-level of the Western Turks all the time, especially Ashina Niyi, the generally recognized Great Khan, although he himself was a dove, but his lifespan did not seem to be too long, and his heir was very useless and was overthrown. This led to the Tang Dynasty's war to destroy the Western Turks.

And today's Western Turks. There is no possibility of rebellion anymore......

For the caravan of the Tang Dynasty, Ashina Niyu and the others are already looking forward to it, of course, it is more because of the aid materials that came with the caravan, and those aid materials are the most important reliance of the Great Khan. There you have it. Only then can you quickly establish your prestige. The main thing is that there is no favor to reward the people below, and I always feel that I have no confidence to speak, but now my confidence has finally come. Because the negative impact of surrendering to Datang will also be eliminated, after all, Datang is still a big country that stresses credibility!

After ten days of waiting, Datang's large caravan of nearly 10,000 people finally arrived, and Ashina Ni, who had discussed the price of all the items with the officials of the Zongheng Division before this, happily greeted him in person, and expressed a warm welcome to the Datang army, and the previous more than 1,000 garrisons were also crying with joy, Nima could finally go home, these days it is really bad for the family.

The delivery of the materials began immediately, Ashina Ni Yi personally stared at the delivery of the materials, personally verified the quantities, although these things were written in the gift list, and they had already been distributed, but they still had to be checked, so as not to cause mutual hostility between the various tribes, and the army leader who escorted this team, General Duan Zhihong, personally supervised the process of the caravan camping in the market within the demarcated range according to the emperor's requirements.

Duan Zhihong is a steady person, he is a suitable person, this time he led the army to the Western Turks, and will serve as a diplomat in the Western Turks for a period of time, and manage the business under the plenipotentiary of His Majesty Li Er, until the entire business process is almost completed, he will not go back, and then the next task is the Zongheng Division, which will select two of the best Zongheng family heirs to serve as diplomats and military attachés.

His Majesty Li Er had already passed the resolution on the establishment of an embassy in the future vassal states, and the imperial court had also passed it, and the province had no opinion, and it was unanimously passed, and the resolution on the establishment of the embassy was implemented, of course, many people wanted to nominate their own people as ambassadors, intending to gain more benefits, but His Majesty Li Er quickly ordered that the ambassadors and military attaches of the embassy would be transferred from the Zongheng Division, and that the Zongheng Division should immediately step up training and train a group of relatively mature diplomats and military attachés in the shortest possible time.

The Confucian family was greatly shocked by this, but they didn't expect that so soon, the Zongheng Division would have such a big actual power, Li Er's Majesty understood that this was to replace the responsibilities of the Honglu Temple with the Zongheng Division, and also to increase the momentum of this power, so that the Zongheng Division could fully take over the task of the Tang Dynasty's foreign affairs, and at this moment, the Zongheng Division would soon be able to gain a firm foothold, which greatly surprised them, and the emperor's attention to the Zongheng Division was really not covered.

The Confucian wealthy family felt that it was time to prepare, and Suning also felt that the time was becoming more and more urgent, and the contact with the officials of the Western Turkic Department of the Vertical and Horizontal Division had not been severed, and he always knew about the opening of the market, and the market had been operating since the arrival of the caravan.

The price is all well formulated, from the risk in the transportation process, as well as the time of transportation, and the Tang Dynasty merchants far away from their hometown to serve the Western Turks, etc., to raise the price, and from the weight and exquisiteness of the production and other aspects of the price to raise the price, trying to raise the price to the highest, so in real life, a table and a chair is at most the price of one or two fat sheep, but here the price of ten sheep is sold, according to the cost price estimated by Suning, the profit is more than 100%.

Ashina Ni won a good start, early in the morning with their livestock to the royal court to participate in the mutual market of the Turkic people are also active, a dazzling array of Tang goods is they have never seen, such exquisite packaging is also they have not seen, no matter what is inside, that is, these things are placed in the home to look at a decoration, so a sheep began to trade, what silk porcelain and wooden handicrafts and so on are the most sought-after, these aspects of the merchants are also earning their mouths can not close.

The craft ironware of the eldest grandson's family is the hottest to sell, a small and exquisite dagger, beautifully made, is the highest level of iron-making art in the Tang Dynasty, but it's just that these daggers just look exquisite, and they really don't have any practical value, and they can be used to cut and barbecue or something, but the Turks don't have an iron-making process, so they were immediately blinded by these gorgeous little handicrafts, and without saying a word, they immediately pulled out a sheep to buy, and the person in charge of the Changsun family was stunned......
