The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 201 Mohe Court Meeting (seeking a monthly ticket)

Xiao Yu's feet were deep and shallow, and he didn't know when he arrived at the palace gate, so he was very absent-minded.

The scene of negotiating with Yang Tong just now was still playing in his mind. First, he was caught off guard, forcing Xiao Yu to show his hole cards, and then he was refused and threatened. It was only when he was desperate that he reluctantly gave it to Li. Tang left a glimmer of hope.

This series of sophisticated methods directly beat Xiao Yu to the point where he has no strength left to fight back!He felt that he was almost taken away by Yang Tong, without any subjective consciousness of his own.

Now whether it is honey or poison, it must be swallowed for the source of the war horse that Li Tang dreams of!Only by obtaining Ma Yuan can Li Tang form a powerful cavalry to compete with the Great Sui.

Xiao Yu thought hard for a long time, subconsciously felt that there was a conspiracy, but his rationality told him: Yang Tong's act of selling the land was very tempting to Li Tang!From Xiao Yu's personal point of view, once this agreement is implemented and these counties are kept, Li Tangzhi's gains will surely exceed his sacrifices.Moreover, Yang Tong said that the battle line was too long, which was indeed the most unfavorable point of the Sui Dynasty, and everyone could see it.

It's just that Xiao Yu was still a little confused, and before he knew it, he had already passed the end of the palace road, and the attendants appeared in front of his eyes.

"Xiangguo..."

Seeing Xiao Yu's dazed expression, the subordinate's heart sank slowly: "Is everything going well?"

"Successful!" Xiao Yu glanced at him, then lowered his head in thought.

The subordinate was a little puzzled, "Since it went well, why is Xiangguo so sad?"

Xiao Yu smiled wryly: "It's because it went so smoothly, the old man is not at ease."

subordinate:"……"

Looking at the carriage outside, Xiao Yu took a deep breath and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this! After we go back! I still have important things to do."

The subordinate wondered: "What's the matter?"

"Seven advices related to the rise and fall of the country!" Xiao Yu's face was heavy, just now in the palace he pretended to be dismissive of the seven failures of Li and Tang listed by Yang Tong, but when he got here, his heart was heavy, and he wished he could die With wings, he flew to Chang'an at once, and then summoned his ministers to offer advice to Li Yuan.

Clique battle!

It has always been the beginning of a country's decline, absolutely unacceptable!
If the Holy Majesty does not make corrections in time, Li Tang, who is already inferior to others, will definitely be left far behind by the Sui Dynasty. At that time, how will he compete with the Sui Dynasty?
……

Mohe!

The ancestors can be traced back to the period of Emperor Shun. It was called "Sushen" in Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, "Yilou" in Warring States, "Wuji" in Northern Wei Dynasty, and "Mohe" in Sui Dynasty!They lived between the white mountains and the black waters for generations, and used fishing and hunting as their industry. Depending on the conditions of the areas where they lived, they also had farming civilization and a small part of nomadic civilization.

During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, Sushen paid tribute three times in a row. During the Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, there are also records of occasional visits to the court. The most recent visit to the Central Plains Dynasty took place in the Northern Qi Dynasty.

There are seven Mohe tribes in total, namely Sumo Mohe (connecting with the Great Sui Dynasty and Goguryeo), Bodu tribe (in the north of Sumo tribe), Anchegu tribe (in the northeast of Bodu tribe), and Fune tribe (in the Bodu tribe). Dudong), Haoshi Department (in the east of Fu Nie), Heishui Department (in the northwest of Anchegu), and Baishan Department (in the southeast of Sumo).And the Heishui department is particularly vigorous, and it is the ancient Sushen family.

The one who came to the court this time was the Sumo tribe closest to the Sui Dynasty, led by its chieftain Tudiji. The tribute included a hundred good horses, ten carts of sable skins, a thousand good bows, a golden eagle chick, and three Only a tamed Costin!

Not to mention anything else, but Haidongqing is an extremely rare condor. According to legend, only one of the [-] condors is produced. Because it is too fierce and intelligent, it has the meaning of "the god of all eagles". The highest totem of Mohe.Su Mobu paid tribute to three young stinkbirds and ten eagle slaves at one time, which shows his sincerity!

The "祛石砮" of Shanggong is also a representative of a good bow, and Sushen and Mohe mean "bow and arrow".It was very grand for them to pay so much tribute at one time.

In the school grounds, Yang Tong galloped on a tall black horse. This was a BMW dedicated to Yang Tong. Its hair was black and shiny, like smooth satin. Proud and unyielding, but at this time has been tamed by Yang Tong.

"Good horse, good horse! Run around again." Yang Tong shouted excitedly, the black horse raised its front hooves high, and rushed out like a cloud of black clouds, crossing a hundred meters in an instant, at a very fast speed Astonishing, the momentum of the Pentium is shocking.

Yang Tong ran for less than half an hour, and felt that he was not as good as Li Xianjian, but he was also the king of horses.It is one white and the other black with the off-string arrow, and you can use mounts of different colors when performing different tasks in the future.What made him even more gratified was that it was no different from ordinary large war horses except that it was taller. Not to mention compared with Lixianjian, the gap with the generals' horses and horses was not ordinary!Apart from its vigor, it doesn't seem to have any outstanding features, regardless of its size, image, speed, and appearance.

But that's fine!

When I went to the battlefield before, riding a tall snow-white off-string arrow and wearing a gorgeous armor, I was often the first target of the enemy.

And this black horse is very deceptive. If you stand in front of the army on it, and with the inconspicuous armor, no one will think that you are the chief general. So, whether it is a person, a mount, or an ordinary Good, good, very good!

Yang Tong came here with all his might, the moment the horse stopped, someone came to help him, his gesture was more attentive than the emperor's court ladies.

This man is about forty years old, with a very strong body, a pair of eyes that have experienced vicissitudes of life are shining with wise light, he is wearing a fur coat, a mink hat, and a long braid behind his head. This man is Mo He Su The Last Chief, Tudiji
"No, no! This king is fighting on the battlefield, galloping for hundreds of miles, which can be regarded as a superb riding skill." Yang Tong quickly jumped off the horse.

Seeing that Yang Tong was happy, Tudiji's heart sank. It seems that King Qin of the Sui Dynasty was quite satisfied with Su Mobu's tribute.

Yang Tong was very happy to get such a BMW that didn't look like a BMW, and he could say a lot: "My king is very satisfied with your tribute, tell me, what reward do you want?"

Tudiji hurriedly stroked his chest and knelt down on one knee, "How dare I accept His Highness's reward? I only hope that His Highness can give me a favor!"

Yang Tong narrowed his eyes slightly, without any emotion on his face, "I don't know what grace you want?"

The Shang Kingdom of the Central Plains has always been generous to the vassal states.But there is a limit, if this guy is too greedy, Yang Tong doesn't mind wiping out the ancestors who established the Jin and Qing dynasties in the Central Plains.

Xu Shi sensed the unkindness in Yang Yu's tone, so he hurriedly said, "I dare not make excessive demands. I heard that the patriarch of the Qi clan was enshrined by the Celestial Dynasty and became a citizen of the Celestial Dynasty. I am very envious and hope to get back Great Sui Enfeng, and have trade relations with Great Sui!"

"Why do you suddenly want to become a vassal of the Sui Dynasty?"

"I don't know much about education, I admire the culture of the Celestial Dynasty..."

"to be frank!"

"Also!" Tudiji gritted his teeth, and said, "Our department and the Baishan department have been repeatedly bullied by Goguryeo, and I hope to be protected by His Highness!"

These Yang Tongs have known for a long time that when Goguryeo’s military was at its strongest, it had been expanding outwards. Sumo Mohe and Baishan Mohe were often forced to pay taxes and serve as military service to Goguryeo!During the war, they became Goguryeo's "death squads".When Yang Tong launched the Liaodong campaign, Goguryeo was not only robbed of the land of Liaodong, but also nearly one million people were plundered. They built the tall Great Wall to their border, so they moved their minds...trying to join the Great Sui and get asylum...

Yang Tong asked again: "When I was fighting against Goguryeo, I met many Mohe people. Are you among them?"

Tudiji was so frightened that he was out of his wits, and quickly explained: "Your Highness, this matter was definitely not done by our tribe. Even if there are people from the tribe involved, they are still captured by Goguryeo. Moreover, the clothes and hairstyles of the Mohe clan are the same. In addition to my department, there are Bodu, Anchegu, Fune, Haoshi, Baishan, Heishui and other departments... It is difficult to distinguish."

Yang Tong thought about it for a while, and then said, "Don't worry, I didn't mean to blame you, and I agreed to your request. At the beginning, the first emperor canonized you as Doctor Jinzi Guanglu and Taishou of Liaoxi! This doctor Jinzi Guanglu It is still valid, but Liaoxi County and Liaodong County have become Shuangliao County, and the prefect of Liaoxi has no meaning. Now this king can make you the Sipin Town North General of the Sui Dynasty, and you will be under the jurisdiction of Xiangping County, and the military administration will be subordinate to Xiangping."

Hearing that Yang Tong was so eloquent, Tudiji quickly thanked Yang Tong a thousand times.

Yang Tong continued: "This king opened a trade port at the Great Wall pass at the source of the Xiaoliao River as a place for mutual trading..."

Du Diji looked confused, "Here, what do you mean by mutual market?"

Yang Tong explained: "This mutual market is the trade exchange, where the merchants of our dynasty and the people of the Southern Dynasty can strengthen exchanges and exchange what they need."

Seeing that there was still doubt on the face of the sudden diji, Yang Tong continued to explain: "Common merchants in our dynasty can bring goods and sell them here. Similarly, you can also bring out surplus goods and property to me to buy and sell! In this way It can greatly improve people's livelihood! For example, fine wine, silk, rice, oil and salt from the Sui Dynasty can be sold at the border, and you can also sell horses, cattle and sheep, leather goods and other special products here. Replace the needed items with what you need, and make both countries rich, and cooperation will benefit both sides, this is a win-win strategy!"

It is bitterly cold, and living materials are in short supply. It is often necessary to rely on looting to meet the needs of the ethnic groups. But after the opening of the mutual market, many problems can be easily solved!An additional interest entanglement with neighboring countries, from a certain perspective, is equivalent to tying them to their own chariot.Once Su Mobu has tasted the sweetness, he will only support Tai Sui more, instead of choosing to oppose it.Even if the Great Sui started a war with Goguryeo, the Sumobu would also consider its own interests and would stand on the side of the Great Sui.

Tudiji's eyes lit up: "Your Highness has agreed to trade with us?"

Yang Tong nodded and said, "Naturally, it's just that you have always bartered things. If you meet a cunning businessman, your precious items will often not get one-tenth of their value, so the king first sent officials from the Ministry of Commerce Go with you to your tribe and evaluate your specialties according to the prices of the Sui Dynasty. In the future, the two parties will use my Tai Sui coins as coins to trade with each other. There is a price difference of tens or hundreds of dollars, which is not a big loss. This can also avoid unnecessary disputes and conflicts between the people of the two ethnic groups. If you have money, you can buy what you want. In the border market, the king will set up officials to supervise. If your people encounter Unjust treatment, or danger, you can seek asylum from officials."

Tudiji was overjoyed and gratefully said: "Your Highness has considered this for our family. I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of the whole family."

A smile appeared on the corner of Yang Tong's mouth, "Let's open a pilot gate first, and when it matures, we will open multiple gates! In the future, you can meet your needs in the border market."

Tudiji nodded again and again, "Your Highness always considers our department, and I will never forget it. I will definitely cooperate with the officials of the Celestial Dynasty."

Yang Tong's voice became softer, "If the city officials deal with it unfairly, you can represent your clansmen to go to the county guard to file a complaint. If the county guard doesn't care, you can come to me directly, and I will make decisions for you!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Du Diji was so moved that his eye circles turned red, and he didn't know what to say.

Yang Tong looked at Tudiji and said, "Your falcon taming skills are unparalleled in the world, can you give me hundreds of falcons and more than a hundred falcon masters?"

Tu Diji wondered: "His Royal Highness, my family has lived on fishing, hunting and animal husbandry for generations, and most of the whole family are proficient in falconry, but Haidongqing is too rare, only out of [-] eagles. One is very rare! Don’t dare to lie to Your Highness, after I have paid tribute to these three baby eagles, there are only five left!”

"I don't want Haidongqing, I just need an eagle that knows the way." Communication is very backward in this era. When a major event happens, the day lily will be cold when the day lily is cold, and there will be a letter eagle that goes back and forth. , will greatly improve the efficiency of work, and use the time difference to catch the enemy by surprise.

Tudi Ji said with a sigh of relief: "This kind of eagle is very common! After the minister returns, he will first send people to send five hundred high-quality falcons and two hundred eagle slaves. What do you think, Your Highness?"

Yang Tong nodded and said, "That's fine. Send the family members of the Ying slaves here too, lest they be separated from each other! You tell everyone, their children can go to school in our Sui Dynasty and receive the same education as the children in the Central Plains. , those who have the ability can also take the exam to become an official!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Tudi Jixin said: After returning, we must choose people close to us, let their children be influenced by the culture of the Celestial Dynasty, and become officials of the Sui Dynasty!
Then, Tudiji tried again: "His Royal Highness, the children of the ministers have been receiving Han culture education when they were in Liaoxi County. After returning to their homeland, they will no longer learn Han studies. In order to better strengthen exchanges , in order to better learn the culture of the Han family, I implore Tai Sui to send us a group of gentlemen."

Yang Tong, who was thinking about how to promote Sinicization education, was overjoyed. It was a pillow from the sky. The land is sparsely populated, there are few students, and there is no voluntary school, so the children of the three counties all go to Liucheng to study. The living environment in Sumobu is harsh, and there are not only natural disasters but also man-made disasters. For the safety of your next generation, you might as well let the children gather together Go to Liucheng to study, so that you can develop without any worries. What do you think?"

"Thank you, Your Highness, I will organize the children to study in Liucheng after I return." Tu Diji agreed without hesitation.
