I, the patron saint of the frontier of the Tang Dynasty, was forced to rebel

Chapter 107

"Master Prime Minister, what you said is simple. Our place is an endless grassland with yellow sand all over the sky. How can we develop new industries?"

Looking at Naihe's face about to cry, one can know how chaotic the Turkic and Khitan markets are at the moment.

Qin Mu actually thought of a countermeasure long ago.

"I heard that there are often equestrian competitions in the local area, especially the most popular ones?"

"Yes, but this"

"Hey, listen to me first." Qin Mu stretched out his hand to stop Naihe from continuing, "Since there is such a custom, we should make use of it. Equestrian and racing can be divided into two competitions. The government will set up a specific arena and competition. Relevant management departments will then train professional players. You need to buy tickets to watch each game. Moreover, there is a game estimate outside. No matter who bets in advance, as long as they win, they will be given several times or ten times reward."

"casino?"

Nai He was dumbfounded, his first thought was the casino.

The virtuous king has issued an order to ban all casinos.

"It's arguably a manageable form of entertainment, while also reducing the presence of black casinos in the local area."

"This"

Naihe can already think about it, if this is really done, after a lot of promotion, the equestrian racing competition will detonate the whole country.

At that time, tourism, accommodation, market consumption, equestrian racing, gambling, etc., there were a lot of industrial chains!
How much money should that make!
"The virtuous king is wise, I will go back immediately to make a plan and submit it to the palace for review."

"Don't worry, I have something to say."

Qin Mu's face became serious, "This kind of behavior is like advocating gambling, so we must strengthen the publicity not to stigmatize equestrian racing competition, just call it a sports game, and the total revenue and profit of all related industries is 30.00 % will be invested in projects such as disaster relief and poverty alleviation in various places.”

What a bucket of cold water!

Immediately, Naihe was dumbfounded, "King Xian, then...then earn this money"

"Hmph! You're making good calculations and think I don't know? Just take 1 yuan as an example, 30.00% will make you feel pain? Besides, such a grand event is held at most three or five times a year, and it doesn't even cost to feed a city." question!"

There was no other way, Naihe had no choice but to agree, after all, the palace could not do anything unless the palace nodded.

At night, Qin Mu stood at the highest point of the palace, watching the city become more and more prosperous day by day.

There are endless sighs and thoughts in my heart.

"Your Majesty, I think it's time for us to cool down!"

Hearing this, Qin Mu frowned, "Prime Minister, do you know that if you take action at this time, you will definitely be opposed by the people?"

"However, small neighboring countries have repeatedly coveted caravans. The cumulative loss of our military personnel has exceeded hundreds, and the looted supplies have reached as high as one million. If this continues, they think we are weak and dare not do anything."

"You mean Tuyuhun?"

"That's right, Tubo is the strongest in that place. It's located in a desert area where wars are a serious problem. The inland troops were bound to be ambushed in the past, so for many years that place has been so arrogant that even the Tang Dynasty dared not send troops to attack. "

"A bunch of idiots!"

Qin Mu was furious, it's nothing to lose the money for the goods, killing someone is courting death.

"How is the situation in Shanzhou and other places?"

"It's very dangerous. The number of troops stationed continues to increase. Now there are more than 8 troops stationed. The location of Qinghai Lake has been repeatedly attacked. The other side wants to get the salt lake."

Salt, this kind of thing is simply a national strategic reserve in this era.

Living in the desert, Tubo was naturally unwilling to watch Shanzhou make a lot of money relying on the salt lake.

"If you enter Ering Lake, Zaling Lake, Doma and other places along the Yellow River Basin, can you do it in a short time?"

"I'm afraid it won't work. If you want to rely on the Yellow River to enter, you have to go through the jurisdiction of the imperial court. How could they agree? Besides, the imperial court or Changsun Wuji's army may intervene in the attack now."

Qin Mu is also very entangled. The problems in this region are simply two extremes.

One side is inland surrounded by mountains, and the other side used to be the desert. For a long time, the imperial court made the Silk Road go there, so the relationship is naturally good.

If you send troops now, the problem will be serious, and it will even lead to a confrontation between the three parties.

In one, the relationship between Tuyuhun and Tubo is not bad, and there has been no war for the time being.

In the desert area, the difficulty of warfare is extremely high, and you will be attacked rashly!

"Well, go talk to Tuyuhun first, be tough, if you don't follow through on making a plan, if you agree, you can say anything."

"Yes!"

Five days later, Shanzhou.

This border continent is militarized and has a population of less than 30.

Zhuge Liang led a few officials and brought the documents of the palace claiming to be appointed by the virtuous king, and asked Tuyuhun to negotiate.

Unfortunately, it was rejected!

That night, Tuyuhun sent hundreds of people to Qinghai Lake to make trouble, killing dozens of workers.

Qin Mu was furious when he heard the news, and immediately asked Yue Fei to send troops.

It's a pity that there are people in the army, but none who are familiar with desert warfare.

Since soldiers can't play an effective role, then send artillery troops to bomb overnight!

That night, across from Qinghai Lake to Dafeichuan, hundreds of artillery launched unlimited attacks.

The whole Tuyuhun fell into chaos with the continuous artillery fire!
The leader, Achailu, was furious.

Sending troops is just sending them to death, and the bows and arrows cannot reach the range. In a word, they are passively beaten.

Countless citizens died tragically, and the frontier guards did not survive, and the city walls were directly blown down.

The most terrifying thing is the civil strife, because the country established by Murong Tuyuhun was subsequently ruled by various ethnic groups in the northwest.

There is a characteristic of the nomadic clan, that is, they forget righteousness for profit.

Taking advantage of the turmoil, a large number of tribes believed that there was no victory in the war, and they immediately defected.

Others want to monopolize the territory and call themselves kings.

Everything was beyond expectations, and Qin Mu didn't expect that a bombardment deterrent would cause Tuyuhun himself to go into civil turmoil first.

They don't even need to take action, as long as they send people to strengthen the internal division, this small country can be said to be self-defeating.

The situation is getting more and more serious!
In the palace, Yue Fei, Zhuge Liang, Lin Quan, and Qin Mu were seated separately.

"Master Lin, how is the situation?"

"King Xianxian, there are more than 130 spies in Tuyuhun. There are four tribes willing to surrender, but none of them have any strength. The other two want to be independent. At present, Achailu is under siege, and his troops are only 1 Thousands of people, even with insufficient resources.

The minister had arranged for someone to go there, hoping that he would voluntarily surrender, but the envoy was brutally killed, and Achailu held up his head and said that Tuyuhun would never surrender! "

Snapped!
Qin Mu was extremely angry and slapped the table with his palm.

"court death!"

"I believe that since he is so arrogant, it is also time for us to show our strength. There is no need to send troops to trap him to death. This kind of deterrence is more powerful!"
