Tang Dynasty good brother

Chapter 411 I Can't Stand This
The moonlight in Chang’an is alluring, and with the economic blowout, the nightlife has gradually become more abundant. In the past few days, the foreigners of different races have been amazed at the prosperity and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty like bumpkins. Heart.

But there are always exceptions.

Other leaders of foreign races have repeatedly experienced the charm of the Tang Dynasty in Chang'an. Under the leadership of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, they went shopping, and even studied hard. Even Emperor Tuigu proposed to go to the Ministry of Industry to have a look. Tang did not refuse the request. Of course, she also tried to poach the master craftsman of the Ministry of Industry, but even if she drove directly to the prime minister's price, she didn't find anyone.

The only exception should be the ignorant king of Nanzhao.

The king of Nanzhao spent a lot of money in paying tribute this time. The best gemstones in the country sent several carts. There was only one request, to severely punish those soldiers who caught slaves. Unreasonable brutal bullying.

In front of so many international friends, Li Shimin was always embarrassed.

To be honest, people's demands are not excessive at all, they are simply reasonable and cannot be more reasonable. Everyone pays the protection fee to get the protection of Tian Khan. At this time, he is quite sensible, especially on such an occasion, if he can't give a clear answer, the Tiankehan system will become a bandit system.

But the problem is that Li Shimin can't help it!He's just an emperor, not God.

How many times has he promulgated the so-called law, and the soldiers of the strict military go to the dependent countries to capture good people as slaves, and those who violate it will be beheaded.But it’s useless shit, the government military system is for the soldiers in wartime and for the people in peacetime, that is to say, it can’t control it at all when there is no war, not to mention that most of the local governments turn a blind eye and close one eye, half The above-mentioned slave arresting teams all took official guides, and those without guides have never seen anyone arrested. With such a big leader as the emperor, he can only control the governor at the level of the governor, and the county level. He has no intention of doing things for grassroots cadres.

As for settling accounts after autumn and punishing those soldiers who caught slaves?Don't be kidding, you cut off your own soldiers for the sake of the common people of a foreign race, what a heartless emperor can do such a thing that loses the morale of the army.

Therefore, the Nanzhao king's appeal is fundamentally unsolvable. At most, Li Shimin can only make a show. Maybe their situation will be better, but that is just the difference between beheading and quartering.

This can't be blamed on other people, it's really not that Tang can bully Nanzhao, it's really that Nanzhao people are so unique.

First of all, Datang has a cultural tradition of emphasizing Hu people and despising barbarians, and the social atmosphere of Datang basically looks down on Hu people. In fact, their Li family has half of Xianbei blood, and even the East Turkic people in the Tang Dynasty just say they hate them. I have never looked down upon them, but Nanyi is different. Tang people almost treat them as monkeys and sell monkeys. This way the guilt will be lowered at once, and the common people will not think it is cruel.

Secondly, Nanzhao people are easier to catch. Most of them live in villages, and there are a large number of them when they are caught. Compared with the Hu people who ride around chasing water and grass on the grassland, almost everyone can ride and shoot. , who do you bully if you don't bully?

Finally, the Nanzhao people know how to farm, because the biggest gap for slaves is sugarcane gardens, so these people are just professionally matched, and they can get started with a little training. For buyers, the training cost is relatively low. Maybe wait When will Datang vigorously develop animal husbandry to change this situation.

So the king of Nanzhao was very, very sad and angry. The ethnic hatred in Nanzhao had reached the verge of being almost unstoppable. You must know that the Tang Dynasty had always been so pissed that there was almost no border defense, so he almost lost it in a fit of anger. He just said things that shouldn't be said, such as the bloodbath in southern Xinjiang.

In the end, before he could finish speaking, he swallowed the impulse back when he saw the inexplicably excited and bright-eyed expression of all the civil and military officials in the court.

Datang is now a real wife who hopes to have a battle.In general, military officials like to fight with civil officials, but today's Tang Dynasty is not. Their civil officials are more eager to fight than generals. If they can't find a reason to do it, they will endure it to maintain the political system of Tian Khan. So, Nanzhao is long gone.

If there is a fight, how many slaves can be captured.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Gai Suwen and others all secretly expressed their gratitude.

Fortunately, when Datang started the war with Goguryeo, Datang hadn't finished its blowout, especially the large-scale slave trade hadn't started yet, otherwise, it is estimated that the entire Liaodong Peninsula would have become a wasteland.

Originally, although Qin Hao sympathized with Nanzhao King's protest, it had nothing to do with him.

But unexpectedly, the Nanzhao mission actually ran to their door to protest.

As the saying goes, if there is no business, there is no killing. Qin Hao is the youngest and most promising Duke of the Tang Dynasty, and thanks to Qin Xiaohao, he is also the largest slave owner in the entire Tang Dynasty.He was so angry that he had to ask Qin Hao to give them an explanation.

What can Qin Hao say?What the hell, even Li Shimin can't do anything about it, you can find me a fool!
As for setting an example and not buying slaves, I’m sorry, but I can’t do it. Qin Xiaohao’s Lingnan plantation almost took over the entire Lingnan. How could such a big deal be done after a consultation between him and Xu Jie, especially After he took over the project himself, his stake in the sugar refinery and distillery had dropped to less than [-] percent.

The remaining part was all divided up among the aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River and the faction bosses in the army. As for the land, he does not own an acre now, and all of it was distributed to the local government soldiers and common people. If he dared to say that he would not be allowed to seize Slave, he will be kicked out tomorrow.

So Qin Hao really has nothing to do for the time being, he can only let them make trouble at the door, the guards at home are getting nervous, for fear that this group of envoys will rush in and cut them down, Li Xiaogong even sent his own guards here Yes, confront them.

These people dare not bully Li Shimin, why are they planning to turn the anger on themselves?

However, Qin Haoqi also approached the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple, hoping that they could take care of them, but after the mediation failed, the two yamen actually shut down. He wanted to see Li Shimin, Li Shimin was still avoiding him, obviously because he planned to throw Qin Hao away because of his wrongdoing. I came out to vent their anger on them, but at least some flying cavalry were sent to protect the safety of their home.

Li Shimin is also having a hard time now, with so many foreign friends watching, and it is such an unreasonable thing, he would be embarrassed if he didn't let others vent his anger, wouldn't he?If they were to be expelled by force, if several of their missions were killed, it would appear to be too disrespectful.It's better to vent your anger on Qin Hao than to find yourself.

This is so unbearable.
