Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2169 Sensible Qin Tian

Liangzhou City.

Summer is almost over, and the weather in Liangzhou City is getting cooler.

Qin Tian, ​​Ma Zhou and the others were discussing matters in Xiliang Palace.

"My lord, the king of Guiwei Kingdom has sent people here again. They hope to conduct some trade with us in Xiliang."

Ma Zhou told about this matter. The current official of Ma Zhou in Xiliang is still the official appointed by Li Shimin. However, he handles many matters in Xiliang. He is a bit like the prime minister of Xiliang. .

Because of the attack on Yumen Pass, their envoys from Xiliang went to Guiwei Kingdom, but they didn't know what happened. The king of Guiwei Kingdom refused to send troops, which made them very angry.

Therefore, after the opening of the Silk Road, they refused to trade with the merchants of Guiwei.

In this case, Guiwei Kingdom will be in trouble.

On the Silk Road, not only the Tang Dynasty and Xiliang, but also the countries of the Western Regions prospered.

But the merchants from Guiwei Kingdom couldn't come, so they naturally couldn't share some benefits from the Silk Road.

Of course, it doesn't mean that they can't get the goods from the Tang Dynasty. After some merchants from the Western Regions get the goods, they can go to Guiwei Country to sell them, but at this time they sell them, and the price is not known to be much higher. up.

Not only did they fail to reap the benefits, but it caused their domestic prices to rise.

This situation is not what they want to see.

Therefore, Guiwei Kingdom has sent envoys to Xiliang twice to plead guilty to Xiliang, hoping to resume trade with them.

After Ma Zhou finished speaking, the others became a little angry.

"Huh, this Guiwei country, when they were asked to send troops to help attack Yumen Pass, they were unwilling to do so, but now they want to enjoy the fruits of victory. Is there such a good thing in the world?"

"Yes, there is no such good thing in the world. They want to conduct trade, just wait, when we are in a better mood, we will conduct trade with them."

"That's right, that's right, I heard that the king of Guiwei Kingdom is a cheapskate. He is obviously rich in the inner treasury, but he pretends to be poor every day and is reluctant to eat and drink. He is a king, and he lives like a beggar."

"........."

Everyone kept talking, but Ma Zhou looked at Qin Tian and said, "My lord, the envoys from Guiwei Kingdom have come a few times, I think it's better to resume business with them."

The reason for doing this is just to teach Guiwei Kingdom a lesson, and there is no real intention to sever contact with them. Now that the lesson is almost done, it is time for them to stop.

However, Qin Tian shook his head after thinking about it, and said: "Wait a little longer, let's talk about it next year, if their envoys come a few times, and it's over if they ask for a crime, then it's too easy for us in Xiliang to agree. How can it be done without benefits, look at the things those envoys send every time, they are shabby, really, when their king is willing to spend their money, let’s talk about it.”

As for the stinginess of Guiwei Kingdom, Qin Tian also experienced it personally. Those envoys came to plead guilty, and the things they sent together did not even have a thousand coins. When he thought of this, his cheeks twitched, and he couldn't help but want to fight Man, is he, Qin Tian, ​​the one who lacks the thousand coins?

Seeing what Qin Tian said, the others immediately became excited.

"That's right, that's right, they should be dealt with in this way so that they wouldn't make a move at that time."

"Yeah, if we don't trade with them, what else can they do to us in Xiliang?"

Everyone kept talking, and at this moment, Wu Dalong, the governor of Liangzhou City, hurried over.

"My lord, something happened."

Now Wu Dalong can be regarded as Qin Tian's confidant, and Qin Tian will entrust him with many things in Xiliang. Hearing this, others became a little nervous and asked, "What happened?"

"A few more businessmen came to the governor's mansion just now, saying that when they passed by the place where the Dangxiang tribe was located, they were robbed by the people of the Dangxiang tribe. They robbed all the goods of the merchants. Now they want to leave the West It’s too cool, the Dangxiang tribe cut off the Silk Road.”

Wu Dalong was a little nervous. After all, this matter is very serious and the consequences are unimaginable.

After he said that, Qin Tian and the others were also taken aback for a moment, and Qin Tian stood up directly and asked: "Those people from the Dangxiang tribe cut off the Silk Road?"

"Yeah, not only the merchants from Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty can't come in, but also the merchants from our side can't get out. All the merchants who pass by have been robbed by them. Now many merchants are afraid to go out after hearing the news. Leaving Liangzhou City."

"My lord, this kind of thing happened just after the opening of the Silk Road. I'm afraid it's not good. We must find a way to solve it as soon as possible."

If accidents happen frequently on the Silk Road, it will reduce businessmen's trust in the safety of this road. Once they feel that this road is too dangerous, they will definitely be more cautious. Will they continue to walk in the future? It's hard to say.

Although businessmen are seeking profits, as long as they are profitable, they will probably leave, but influence is definitely indispensable.

"My lord, the Dangxiang tribe is really brave. In our Xiliang territory, they dare to do such a thing. Give me a soldier and horse, and I will destroy them." Cheng Chumo was very angry. In his eyes, the Dangxiang people Just the inferior people, now the inferior people dare to make trouble for them, can it be done without killing them?
"Yes, yes, we should send troops to destroy them and let them know how powerful we are."

"If you don't teach them a lesson, they won't know who they are. Do they think their tribe can be compared with the Turks?"

"Even if they think they can compare with the Turks, the Turks still lost to us?"

"........."

Everyone was talking, but Qin Tian fell into deep thought. He was also angry about this matter, and wanted to send troops to teach the Dangxiang tribe, but the Dangxiang tribe had [-] soldiers and horses, and they only had [-]. The active [-] were really different from the Dangxiang tribe. In the battle between the tribes, most of their strength in Xiliang had to be lost at once.

This is not something they Xiliang can bear now.

Moreover, if the troops were mobilized, he didn't know when it would end. In this way, it would take a lot of time. If possible, he hoped to solve this matter in a gentle and quick way.

After thinking about it, Qin Tian waved his hands and said, "Okay, what you said is not unreasonable, but for now, it's better to stabilize the party and the tribes first, let the Silk Road be opened first, and send an envoy to go there The Dangxiang Tribes, they are required to return the goods to the merchants, and they must not be intercepted in the future."

Although they are not prepared to use troops, it does not mean that they will be humble when they face the Dangxiang tribe.
