For this time, three large caravans of the Tang Dynasty came to Xue Yantuo to discuss trade and the previous announcement that the Tang Dynasty would open the northern town as a trade gateway, it is impossible to say that Yi Nan has no other thoughts, Yi Nan's mind is to use this incident as much as possible to fight for the best conditions for Xue Yantuo, after all, the benefits that trade can bring are too many, the Western Turks are an example, and the ability to enhance combat power can be obtained through non-war methods, who doesn't want it?

It's just that Suning's words made Yi Nan have some other ideas.

If Yi Nan would have been a little cautious before this, wanting to skillfully use the contradictions between these three caravans to maximize Xue Yantuo's interests, then now, Yi Nan only has one idea.

He understood what Li Er's majesty wanted to let Suning come to be the plenipotentiary agent no matter what, the reason was very simple, Suning was a type of person he had never seen, he said it was an official, he was too young, he was not an official, but that stylized smile always made him feel that it was not much different from the Datang officials he had seen before.

Of course, he was not an orthodox official.

When the third caravan arrived, Yi Nan realized that this caravan was not an official caravan, and the previous organized and systematic two official and Shandong caravans were different, this was simply a hodgepodge, and it came over without knowing it, and there was no representative who could wear gorgeous clothes, this is what the folk businessmen meant, Yi Nan and Datang have dealt with a lot, he knows this, the only one who looks okay is a seventy-year-old Confucian businessman, Yi Nan also understands. In the grassland, being young and strong is the most noble, and in Datang, the older you are, the higher your status.

Yi Nan is a little confused, a civilian caravan and a government caravan and a Shandong Shi caravan, how do you look at this and feel strange, where can the private caravan have the strength to compete with the government Shi caravan? Yi Nan decisively ruled out the competition qualification of this large private caravan in his heart, and was ready to watch the dog-eat-dog of the two regular caravans, and then take advantage of it.

The Han people of the Central Plains also have a saying, which is called the snipe and clam fighting. The fisherman profits. Yi Nan is ready to be a fisherman.

However, that night, when Yi Nan hosted Suning in a private capacity, he realized that the situation was not quite right, and Suning seemed to be a little sober after three rounds of drinking. Talking a little stammering. Unexpectedly, he couldn't stop laughing, so that all the Xue Yantuo people who were already drunk were gone. Yi Nan was left alone, and after drinking face to face with Suning, Yi Nan faintly felt that something was wrong. But Suning took Yi Nan's arm and began to complain.

He was really a little excited to be sent by the emperor to envoy to a big country like Xue Yantuo at a young age, and then he was very dissatisfied with the emperor's excessive use of child labor, and his own barbaric behavior was not human, and he didn't like to be called around as a free laborer, and he was about to get married, and he was also brought to do these things, he was very unhappy, and then said some words that Yi Nan couldn't figure out at all, what narcissism, megalomania, two-skin face, old face stinky and so on......

Then Yi Nan felt that some cold sweat was slowly oozing out on his body, because Suning began to say something very ...... Like what......

"We have a saying in Datang, what is it called that one mountain does not allow two tigers, unless there is a male and a female, those well-dressed warriors can't talk about being mothers, so your majesty has this big tiger, and there is no habit of breaking sleeves, where can they be accommodated? Think about it, Chang'an's decree can't reach Shandong at all, can Your Majesty stand it? These bastards are so bold, not only in the court against the emperor, but also in private, against the emperor!

Look at this, this, this time they also have to do it against the emperor, they have to trade with you, before this was all smuggling, it was against the laws of the Tang Dynasty, if they caught one and killed the other, they would not show mercy, and now they are simply going to fight against the Tang Dynasty on the bright side, hehe, you say, can Your Majesty still tolerate them? Your Majesty is a big tiger, one bite at a time, ah, hahahaha Haha

However, you also have to be careful, this trade is not ordinary, those bastards, trying their best to recapture the trade route, and Ben Hou, in accordance with the will of His Majesty, will never allow this trade road to return to their hands again, Your Majesty has told me, you must leave this road, ah, to the private merchants in Guanzhong, to let the people benefit, and you must not let those rich people benefit, you say?

Ha Lu Ha Ha How much do you care? You, too, should also care more about Your Majesty's Majesty, right, to share your worries for Your Majesty, don't promise those bastards, know that Lu said no, hahaha, if you promise, eh...... If you agree, Your Majesty will be very angry, and the consequences will be serious!

Your Majesty is angry, Ha Luha, do you know what it looks like to be angry under Your Majesty? I know the truth! Ha Lu ha, waving it around with a knife, you see, that's it, so, ha! Hey! Wow, yes, yes! This is quite light, Ha Lu Ha, if it's serious, you see Hu Xue last time, he was beaten, and the dead clan was wiped out, Ha Lu Haha, those bastards are not early, it's time to come! Dake, Khan, you, you have to help Your Majesty, help ...... Your Majesty's ......"

Suning danced a set of drunken knife techniques, making Yi Nan dodge left and right for fear that this master would hurt himself by mistake, and there would be no place to reason when the time came, fortunately, Suning soon closed his eyes and fell asleep, and the cry shook the sky, Yi Nan touched Suning: "Su Hou, Su Hou?" After a test or two, Suning did fall asleep, and Yi Nan looked at Suning cautiously, and then called someone to carry Suning back to his tent to rest.

Sending Suning away, Yi Nan looked at the mess in his big tent, and thought about the words that Suning said when he was drunk just now, his brows furrowed tightly, Yi Nan didn't know whether these words were true or false, but looking at Suning's appearance, Yi Nan deeply suspected that all this was a conspiracy, a conspiracy of Li Er's Majesty to get rid of the Shandong Shi clan.

often deals with Han people, and Yi Nan also knows a lot of contradictions within the Han people. The most famous public is the contradiction between Li Er's majesty and Shandong Full, which is completely irreconcilable, either you die or I live, and this time this sudden opening of the trade gate once made Yi Nan a little confused, but then it was replaced by ecstasy, but now that I think about it, it may really be a disguise, and the main purpose is to get rid of the Shandong Shi clan!

Especially what Suning said just now made Yi Nan tremble, and His Majesty Li Shimin paid great attention to himself? The first one that comes to mind? That's why you were the first to agree to trade with Xue Yantuo? Does that mean that what he did before has made His Majesty Li Shimin suspicious? His Majesty Li Shimin began to doubt himself? That's not a good situation!

I can say all of this. Suning was really drunk. Sure enough, there is no hair on his mouth, and he can't handle things well, such a hairy boy. Obviously, it can't afford big things. But what he said should be true. The previous words were obviously dissatisfied with the emperor, so it seems that he is really prepared. These people have their own goals and plans, oops, why is the relationship between the Han people so troublesome?

The key is that you are in trouble yourself, why do you still need to involve me Xue Yantuo? We just want to be a super power quietly, why did we attract the attention of Datang and involve this kind of problem? It's really unexpected, one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, His Majesty Li Shimin is going to do something to his disobedient people, but do you want to do it with me?

Could it be that this is a test? If I choose the caravan of the Shandong Shi clan, His Majesty Li Shimin will take the opportunity to clean it up with the Shandong Shi clan and Xue Yantuo? There is something wrong with the Tang Dynasty being strong now, the army is frequently mobilized, and the border army is even more so, and several temptations in a small area have been beaten without returning, or the corpse sits on a horse and comes back with its head in its hand, which scares many tribes and dare not try it anymore......

The army of the Tang Dynasty also seems to be a little too strong......

Yi Nan immediately understood, this is a plan to kill three birds with one stone, the first eagle is to make the Shandong Shi clan unable to profit, to hit them, the second eagle is to let those civilian merchants profit, and then improve their prestige and consolidate their rule, the third eagle is himself and Xue Yantuo, once it is determined that Xue Yantuo is an enemy, a very dangerous enemy, then His Majesty Li Shimin will quickly dispatch troops to clean up Xue Yantuo!

For example, the drunken little marquis just now, the two great powers of the Eastern Turks and the Western Turks have failed in his hands, his ability is not small, if he comes with an army of 100,000, no, 50,000, 50,000 Tang Iron Cavalry is enough for himself, before it took more than 100,000 troops to clean up the Eastern Turks, and 70,000 or 80,000 to clean up the Lingzhou Rebellion and the Western Turks, the combat effectiveness of the Tang Army is indeed rising.

Yi Nan was deeply glad, if it weren't for the little marquis who was drunk and said these words, it is estimated that he would really get into trouble, and he might lose his life, and then the Xue Yantuo Tiele people, who finally got rid of the control of the Turks, would be enslaved by the Tang Dynasty again, and the Tang Dynasty seems to have engaged in a policy to capture prisoners of war to do work or something......

Almost instantly, Yi Nan made a decision.

The next day, the Western Turkic Alliance was officially launched, and according to the rules set before, each of the three parties sent three or four people to debate on behalf of their respective caravans, submit their own plans, and talk about what kind of benefits their trade could bring to both the Western Turks and the Tang Dynasty.

This is a very serious issue, although it is a vassal state, but it does not have the right to enter the land of the Tang Dynasty casually, similarly, if the people of Xue Yantuo want to enter the Tang Dynasty and do business with the people of the Tang Dynasty, they also need to be recognized, and they cannot come casually, so the results of this bidding will determine which faction of people can enter Xue Yantuo to do business, and in the same way, only Xue Yantuo merchants who have made a contract with this caravan can enter the open city of Datang with documents to do business.

At the same time, the three caravans will also set up stalls in their respective fields, inviting all the Xue Yantuo people to bring their belongings to do business with the Tang Dynasty, and all the goods brought this time can be exchanged...... That's right, exchange, Xue Yantuo doesn't have his own currency, and the currency of the Tang Dynasty won't circulate here, they can only barter, just like the Western Turks, barter, clearly mark the price of this thing is worth how many sheep and how many cattle, and bargaining is also possible.

Then, after debating with each other, Suning and Yi Nan will also lead Xue Yantuo's clan leaders to visit the commercial trade of the three caravans, which caravan is the most popular in commercial trade, you can add points, and then make the most final decision after comprehensive consideration, this decision will be agreed upon by both Datang and Xue Yantuo, which cannot be changed, and its authority is unquestionable. (To be continued......)
