Datang first village

【Ask for a monthly ticket】

One hundred thousand catties, steel!

This is not pig iron, this is steel.

West Turkic was breathing fast, and took a deep breath: "His Royal Highness, King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, what do you need? What can I, Turkic, provide for you? Your caravan from King Qin's Mansion passed by our Turkic territory. Someone will dare to charge you a penny in customs duties, and there will be soldiers escorting you!"

"No, give me [-] slaves, [-] cavalrymen, [-] horses, and [-] boxes of precious stones, that's enough. When these are shipped to Chang'an, you can pull [-] catties of third-class fine steel Go. With this king’s warrant, no one will stop you. However, this king requires that at least half of the [-] slaves be Tupan slaves, and at least [-] white slaves among the remaining half.”

With Li Yuanxing's asking price, the West Turkic people only had two words in their minds, which was fairness.

It's just that things like fine steel can't be bought with money, even if Li Yuanxing's price is based on the market price.

When the two of them said this, the deputy envoy of West Turkic also came in with someone, and sat down according to the seat after saluting.

The Western Turkic envoy tidied up his clothes, and formally handed over a document: "His Royal Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, we Turkic people hope to also get the wool trade, and we also have countless wool."

"Your wool, the freight is too high!" Li Yuanxing's answer was straightforward.

The envoy of the Western Turks did not respond, but the envoy hastily got up and explained: "We can be responsible for the transportation, and we guarantee that the bid will not be higher than that of the Eastern Turks."

"No, too low a price will hurt the common people!"

"Your Highness is benevolent!" Both Turks and Tang people said in unison.

"You really want to cooperate, and this king also believes that you have the heart to cooperate. This king will give you a chance. This king doesn't have much time to argue with you, so you work, and this king will pay for the money and food, and guarantee what you like!" Li Yuanxing took out Lu Maofeng's accessory knife, tested its sharpness, and threw it back to Lu Maofeng.

Is it a knife or steel!

The deputy official of the Western Turks didn't understand, but Zheng Shi seemed to understand.

"This king has three hard conditions that you must agree to, otherwise this king is not interested in you talking."

"Please make it clear, Your Highness!"

"First, after forming an alliance with Datang, you must never form an alliance with Datang's enemies. In other words, once Datang declares to be an enemy of that state, you must also agree with Datang. Second, Datang provides at least You know the ratio of [-] slaves in the Tang Dynasty. Third, Tuyuhun is not an ally, he must submit to the Tang Dynasty and become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty!"

After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, he went straight back to his chair and sat down without looking at the Turkic envoys.

"His Royal Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, this request is too embarrassing!" The deputy envoy said under the signal of the envoy.

Li Yuanxing smiled: "If I ask you to pay, I will give you back."

"Can you let the envoy listen to the report?"

"Let's have the banquet first. After the banquet, you have time for formal negotiations. Whether the king is fair or not, people in the world will be watching. There is no need for the king to promise anything." After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, he said to Cui Yiye: "Prepare for the banquet. "

Li Yuanxing was not interested in the details, nor was he obligated to talk with the Western Turks.

During the dinner, Cui Dunli asked Li Yuanxing in a low voice: "Your Highness, are the conditions just now too harsh? You must know that the Western Turks are not as powerful as the Eastern Turks in terms of combat power, and they are even poorer. If you agree to these conditions, you will be tied to our Tang Dynasty." , the Western Turks may not agree!"

"You are right, but the Western Turks have too many enemies, so they must have a firm ally. Don't mention anything about the marriage. Do you remember what the king said to Feng An?"

After Li Yuanxing reminded him, Cui Dunli thought for a while before answering: "Your Highness promises that if his wealth cannot be doubled in five years, Your Highness will make up for it!"

"Tell the Western Turks that if their wealth cannot be doubled, this king will supply them for five years!"

"Your Highness, is it really possible?"

"Don't underestimate the cotton fields. They really have 500 million mu of cotton fields. It's scary to convert the output of these cotton fields into money. I'm afraid that at least the output of Luoyang and Henan Road are produced. The problem now Yes, how can the Seventh Family protect these interests and ensure the normal output of the cotton fields, and then there will be a reasonable distribution!"

Cui Dunli nodded: "Your Highness, this matter may be discussed for a long time!"

"Don't worry, let's talk slowly. It's impossible to plant it this year. It was newly planted in Hebei Road. The harvested seeds will only be a few million acres next year. In three years, [-] acres can be planted. The aristocratic family That's enough hard work." Li Yuanxing was not in a hurry, and knew that there was no need to rush.

banquet!

Li Yuanxing was not interested in the banquet, and the Western Turks were eager to ask some detailed questions, so naturally they were not very interested in the banquet.

As for the details, as His Royal Highness King Qin of the Tang Empire, he naturally wouldn't talk about them.

Just when Li Yuanxing was about to go back to his small living room to eat some more, he saw a familiar figure standing at the door of the small living room. Every time he saw this old guy, in Li Yuanxing's words, he was either causing trouble for himself or Make trouble for himself, or else, the Tang Emperor is in trouble.

Eunuch Gao, the real head eunuch of the Tang Palace.

"Old Gao, it's almost dark today, you come to my Qinwangzhuang, are you causing trouble for this king, or are you looking for trouble for yourself!"

Eunuch Gao didn't even smile naturally, pointed to the room secretly, and then replied: "Oh! The old slave is as miserable as His Highness said, and the old slave is just an errand."

Li Yuanxing understood, and shivered secretly, opened the door and went into the house.

"Brother Huang, you came to Qin Wangzhuang with such great interest, are you here to see the emperor?"

Li Er suppressed his voice: "I'm not looking for trouble for my brother, or I'm here to make trouble for you Wulang."

"Brother Huang really knows how to joke."

"Brother Wei has asked Qin Qiong about Hengyang, and Qin Qiong's analysis is that he probably doesn't know the identity of Hengyang. So Brother Wei really wants to know how you plan. As King Qin, how will you fulfill your promise!" Li Er's tone was much more serious.

Li Yuanxing had a calm expression on his face: "Brother Huang, do you want to hear my brother speak as an older brother, as King Qin, or as a courtier of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Wulang, you are mature!" After Li Er praised him, he continued: "By marrying Ashnadur, what I get is a fine horse with tens of thousands of people. These people can sweep the grassland for me. As long as there are Enough equipment, enough food and grass, this is a fine cavalry made of iron!"

"Brother Huang is brilliant, it just so happens that Hengyang also wants to marry!" Li Yuanxing replied with a smile.Then he also said: "As a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, I think this is a good start. The result of the great national integration is that Ashnadur will only be half like a Turkic person in the future, and his habits will gradually change Datang people!"

Li Er also interjected: "His son only has a Turkic name!"

"His grandson may be from the Tang Dynasty!" Li Yuanxing also said.

Li Yuanxing and Li Er looked at each other and smiled. The two thought of being together, put politics, interests, and family affection on the same table, and began to strike a balance.

Is it cruel?

Li Yuanxing in the past would definitely think it was too cruel and took family affection too seriously.

But now, Li Yuanxing knows that as the king of Qin and Li Er as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, there are some things that they must consider, just like Li Er has made up his mind to get married, even if he sends his daughter to the prairie.

Even if the heart is bleeding and the heart is scarred, the face should remain calm.

"Are you going to try him?" Li Er asked Li Yuanxing again.

Li Yuanxing shook his head: "Brother Huang, it doesn't matter if it's true or not. Even if he knows who Hengyang is, so what. Hengyang is a princess of the Tang Dynasty, and he should be respected at all. Or Say, he doesn't know, then he will know."

"Brother, I don't understand." Li Er shook his head lightly.

Li Yuanxing sighed: "Brother Huang, don't let the sister-in-law know about this matter, otherwise my younger brother will be in bad luck."

After Li Yuanxing told Li Er, Li Er gave Li Yuanxing a thumbs up with a smile: "Wu Lang, my brother is optimistic about you!"

At nightfall, Li Yuanxing held a banquet in a newly built medium-sized living room that could seat 50 people for the generals who had returned from victory.Lao Lang and Ashnadur sat at the top because they are people who have made great achievements.

The food and drink were brought up quickly, and Li Yuanxing sat at the head and raised his cup: "The first cup, to the paoze who died for the Great Tang!"

"Respect Paozhe!" Everyone stood up, raised their glasses solemnly, and then followed Li Yuanxing's example and spilled the wine in the glasses on the ground.

Huh..., Li Yuanxing exhaled lightly, and then smiled: "Come here, change the big bowl!"

On the other side, in the small living room, Li Er, Wu Zhao, Wang Yuyan, Li Liyuan, the two princesses of Qin, and Eunuch Gao were all sitting in the small living room, looking at the screen on the projector.

"Emperor brother!" The two princesses Hengyang and Changsha entered the room, and seeing Li Er was very nervous, after saluting timidly, they stood on the side.

Li Er beckoned: "Come and sit next to me, watch carefully tonight, you must understand Wu Lang's painstaking efforts, remember to thank Wu Lang in the future!"

Hearing this, Hengyang secretly rejoiced.

It seems that the king of Qin has convinced the emperor, which is good news.But after seeing Ashnadur on the screen, Hengyang became nervous again, she was afraid that Ashnadur would not be able to pass Li Yuanxing's test.

She didn't even know what Li Yuanxing's test would be?

"Old Wolf, I respect you with this cup, congratulations on your first victory in winning Jian'an!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

The old wolf got up, gave a military salute, and poured all the wine from the big bowl into his mouth.For the old wolf, spirits are only fun, without the tension of drunkenness.

Li Yuanxing came in front of Ashnadur again. At this time, the people in the small meeting room were a little expectant and nervous. (To be continued.)
