Two hundred and thirty-two dangerous steps
After Suning's words were finished, Li Xiaogong was stunned, when you find the pillow, the sky is dawning? Opportunities are often fleeting? Do you take risks in everything? This kind of truth is very superficial and very clear, but it is one thing to know clearly, and it is another thing to truly understand and use, everyone knows that this thing is very beneficial, and it is a big money to make, but often the price it needs to pay will make the vast majority of people know that it is difficult to retreat.
Suning is also gambling, gambling on the lives of himself and the two thousand iron horsemen, and it is done, everyone is promoted and rich together, if it can't be done, everyone dies together, an obvious multiple-choice question, A or B, death or great wealth, each has a 50% chance, sometimes it doesn't seem to be half open, but along this line of thought, either die, or be rich, that is, the probability of half open.
Li Xiaogong began to think about how he would think about this matter when he faced it, and it was obvious that Li Xiaogong would also choose the latter, because there are always so many people who are unwilling to be ordinary and are willing to fight with their lives. If you don't fight for your life, where would there be today's Datang? Where will there be today's glorious rivers and mountains? Their generation is fighting for their lives, and they know this truth, but they have made mistakes in their juniors, hehe, it's really ironic!
Li Xiaogong couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook his head, and said: "You kid is oily, but what you said is very right, if there is no hard work, where did you come from today's Tang Dynasty, at the beginning, the old man did not fight less, and he also exchanged his life for wealth, he was old, and he lost the blood of the day, but when he was as young as you." If this kind of thing happens, the old man will make the same choice as you, boy, if you can live well, the prosperity of the Su family is just around the corner. ”
Suning smiled: "Father-in-law said that he was joking, one family, why do you need to talk about two families." ”
Li Xiaogong was stunned for a moment, and then hahadaxiao: "Hahahaha!" You kid, yes. All right. Virtuous son-in-law, the old man is very pleased, it is really not easy for you to have such knowledge. The old man also told you clearly. Bixia was very happy this time. I appreciate your approach very much, and bluntly say that you are a rare handsome talent, and you have more experience. will definitely become a famous marshal in the army, a major minister of the Tang Dynasty, and, this time you go back, Bixia will not give you an official to do, nor will you be promoted to your title, Bixia said, give you money and land, go home and study honestly, don't think about those who don't have. ”
After Suning heard this, a big stone fell to the ground in his heart: "Huh, it's okay, it's okay." ”
Li Xiaogong smiled: "What? There is no reward, but you are happy? ”
Suning smiled: "Why does my father-in-law have to be like this? There are only two of us here, what can't I say? If Bixia promotes me to the title and gives me an official position, I will prepare for a great escape, and when Bixia doesn't do it to me, there are countless people who want to do it to me, how old am I, just be a duke? Just be an official? Bixia is protecting me, I understand very well, my son-in-law's words can enter the eyes of my father-in-law? ”
Li Xiaogong nodded with satisfaction: "The virtuous son-in-law can have this insight, the old man is very pleased, indeed, the wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, your foundation is not stable, just married the old man's daughter, but it is difficult to ensure your safety, if you can continue to hibernate, after the foundation is stable, when there is a blockbuster opportunity, steady and steady, the foundation of your Su family is solid, then the old man can rest assured that Rui Han will be entrusted to you, you can have such an idea, the old man is also relieved." ”
Suning smiled: "So what does my father-in-law think about signing an alliance with the Turks this time?" What are the instructions for Bixia? ”
Li Xiaogong smiled: "Bixia trusts you very much, Bixia said that as long as it is beneficial to Datang, don't let the Turks see that we are targeting them, it's okay, your kid never does things that make a loss, let the old man decide after discussing with your kid, can you see Bixia's trust in you?" This matter is also giving you the opportunity to exercise and perform, if you do it well, Bixia will focus on cultivating you, and after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince inherits the throne, you can be of great use, this is Bixia's greatest trust, as long as you don't make any mistakes, at least, this dynasty, you are safe. ”
Suning thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Father-in-law's words, the son-in-law keeps it in mind, for this matter, the son-in-law does not have any complete considerations, but there are also some ideas, this is just the first practice, and the Turkic soldiers are not defeated under me, they must be gentle, but they can also accumulate experience, and when the Tang Dynasty defeats certain countries again, they can directly use such a treaty to get greater benefits for the Tang Dynasty." ”
Li Xiaogong asked with interest: "What kind of treaty can get greater benefits for the Tang Dynasty?" It's not like I haven't signed a treaty in the past, but, your ideas, such as using non-war means to control other countries, this makes Bixia very interested, Bixia wants to know, how to operate, you take this as an opportunity, operate, see how it works, if it's very haode, you can do it in the future. ”
Suning nodded and said: "This matter is actually not difficult, mainly because we haven't thought of what kind of benefits some things we don't pay attention to may bring us, for example, the son-in-law hopes to open the Weixianju Restaurant to the interior of the Western Turks, and set up a branch of Weixianju here." ”
Li Xiaogong frowned and asked curiously, "What does this mean?" What kind of benefits can opening a restaurant get for Datang? You told the old man. ”
Suning nodded and said, "Father-in-law, do you know that this time the Tang Dynasty will leave an army of 3,000 people in the Western Turks?" ”
Li Xiaogong nodded: "Bixia has agreed to this matter, of course, there are still many things to prepare, such as food and government soldiers going home to visit relatives, I don't know how long this stationing will take, whether it will take rotation, and I have to think more, it's very complicated, this matter was also brought up by you, right?" ”
Suning said: "That's right, leaving a garrison here is the point that the son-in-law cares about the most, not only can protect the merchants and business roads of the Tang Dynasty, but the soldiers who have been stationed here for a long time will be more accustomed to the grassland life, the riding skills will be more exquisite, and the body will be stronger, this army will definitely have a very good promotion, and the army is here, although it will be monitored, but once something happens, these three thousand people will have an unexpected effect." This is what the son-in-law is most concerned about.
Of course, the son-in-law also took into account some things, such as the Turks will not provide us with food, raise troops for our Tang Dynasty, and we still need to prepare our own supplies, so that transporting grain for thousands of miles is not only costly, but also unsafe, so it is very troublesome, but if we open a Weixianju restaurant here, it is not necessarily the case. ”
Li Xiaogong frowned and said, "Go on." ”
Suning then said, "Father-in-law, here. Western Turkic. Herders are not forbidden to eat beef, and cattle here are not used to cultivate land, but as food, they are also a kind of wealth. The Western Turks were uncivilized. There is no money. Cattle, sheep and horses are their money, and they are still bartering, so. When Wei Xianju comes here, he doesn't need to trade with them with money, he can directly trade in kind.
Moreover, the herdsmen here eat are roasted, and there is no technique, it tastes particularly rough, it is fine at first, but after eating for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be a very uncomfortable feeling, you can think about it, if you bring the food of Weixianju to the prairie, father-in-law, you can think about it, they will think that the baked food is delicious, or our stir-fried stew is delicious? Foreigners are actually very eager for our food, if Weixian Ju is opened here, they will definitely have no way to resist, it will definitely be a big hit! ”
Li Xiaogong seemed to understand a little, and said, "And then? ”
Suning smiled: "Then, isn't it simple?" We can sell stir-fried vegetables at such a high price in Datang, and we can sell them at a higher price here! At the beginning, we need to bring some raw materials to come, please enjoy these Turkic nobles, they eat well, the Turkic herdsmen will like it, they have cattle, sheep and horses, we can completely customize how much these dishes are worth cattle, sheep and horses, and directly exchange them for cattle, sheep and horses.
The price can be set as high as it is, of course, it can't be too much, otherwise it will cause a very serious problem, set under a scale, the cattle, sheep and horses obtained by Weixian Ju are enough to meet the needs of these people, and when the time comes, they will take it from the Turks, use it for the Turks, they will exchange their own cattle, sheep and horses for their own cattle, sheep and horses, and we can take profits from it, and take out a part of the remaining cattle, sheep and horses for the Tang Dynasty soldiers stationed here, which can almost avoid the trouble of transporting grain.
Of course, the son-in-law himself can also get a lot of profits, when the time comes, we can bring the merchants of the Tang Dynasty to come here to do business together, whether it is a restaurant, or a cloth shop, or other shops, as long as they want, they can come here to do business, the garrison of the Tang Dynasty provides them with protection, and they will take out part of the income to support the Tang garrison, in fact, we didn't spend much money, it is equivalent to letting the Turks raise 3,000 troops for us, isn't it? Father-in-law?
When the time comes, it won't take many years, and we will be able to change the habits of the Turks with the help of these merchants, wear our clothes, eat our food, use our utensils, and everything else will be the same as ours except for grazing! Everything is controlled by us, food, clothing, housing and transportation, and we can no longer do without us, and we can't do without the businessmen of Datang.
At the same time, we can also use many methods to destroy the way they originally lived, so that they are completely dependent on the supply of Datang merchants, once the Datang merchants stop supplying, they can't even live! Squeeze out all their wealth, in the end, they will have nothing, in order to survive, they have to compromise with the Tang Dynasty, when the time comes, why war? They simply do not have the opportunity and strength to start a war! Father-in-law, do you understand? ”
Suning said all his considerations with a wicked smile, using commercial liliang to control everything in this country, maybe it was just a restaurant from the beginning, but soon, Datang's commercial liliang will gradually infiltrate this commercial virgin land, greedy businessmen will squeeze all the wealth here, squeeze all the cattle, sheep and horses of the Turks, and use non-war methods to completely squeeze out the Western Turks, when the time comes, they will have an army, no food, no clothes, no weapons, What to fight against Datang?
The liliang of economic warfare, sometimes it is not weaker than the collision of real armies, on the contrary, the greed of human nature and the terror of capital will hollow out the foundation of a country, Suning also wants to gain some experience from this practice, not only to maximize the use of business liliang, but also to curb the development of businessmen, in any case, businessmen must be excluded from the political system, and they must not be allowed to enter politics, this is a very special shiyan.
Because it is very important, Suning does not dare to shiyan in the Tang Dynasty, if there is a bad thing, it will be a catastrophe, but in the Western Turks, there is no need to worry, put these businessmen in complete hands, find a new set of paths, the ultimate pursuit Suning will not give up, whether it is a hundred years or two hundred years or three hundred years, the ultimate goal Suning will not give up, but, without the liliang of capital, what liliang can overthrow the feudal liliang? What liliang wouldn't backfire on the ultimate goal?
This is an experiment, a time when Suning doesn't know the specific direction and is likely to be uncontrollable shiyan, the two sets of ways that people in the previous life have found flaws, and the development has been so far, the shortcomings are clear at a glance, if the two can be combined into one, will there be some changes? Or is it possible to exclude both and find a third party? The unique social atmosphere of discrimination against merchants and money in ancient China is a very good development opportunity, and if you grasp it well, maybe you can really make some changes, so as to find a third way, and this road will definitely appear in China, not other countries.
On May 15, the fifth year of Datang Zhenguan, Suning took the first step towards the dream in his heart with trepidation...... (To be continued......)
