Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

Although he didn't say this, Li Shimin could see it clearly from their eyes.

"Yuchi Jingde, do you think there is something wrong with my words?"

Li Shimin looked at Yuchi Jingde and asked coldly.

Yuchi Jingde quickly shook his head and said: "I don't dare! It's just that I think that the Turks are all tigers and wolves, vicious dogs!"

"Such a beast, naturally it should be cut one at a time, so that it can be refreshed!"

Yuchi Jingde's words relieved the embarrassment just now, and also showed his position.

"That's right, these Turkic people are a bunch of beasts, so naturally we can't use such barbaric methods to deal with beasts!"

Li Shimin paused for a while, and then said: "Since they are beasts! It means that they cannot be united! In this case, why don't we cause them to fight among themselves! Let them kill each other!"

All the ministers froze, holding their breath and listening to Li Shimin's next words!

You must know that it is not uncommon to cause Turkic civil strife. It was done in the Han Dynasty, the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and even the former Sui Dynasty.

Although the results are extraordinary, but none of them can really achieve the goal.

On the contrary, Turkic and other grassland tribes are also extra cautious about Datang's splitting actions.

If there is no special strategy, it will often only get twice the result with half the effort.

But now, Li Shimin raised it again in front of everyone, and everyone became quiet and listened attentively.

Li Shimin saw that all the officials became extremely serious, so he couldn't help coughing, and continued to speak.

"In view of the current allies of Datang and Turkic, I have decided to open up trade with Turkic. Except for the goods controlled by Datang, the caravans of the two countries are allowed to trade back and forth freely."

As soon as these words came out, there was another burst of uproar among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

The first one to speak was Yuchi Jingde again, today he was determined to confront Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, what's the deal with those Turkic barbarians? They didn't..."

Halfway through the speech, Yuchi Jingde became mute.

He originally wanted to say that the Turks had no money, but he couldn't keep talking.

Compared with the Tang Dynasty, the Turks can be said to be extremely rich now.

The territory of the Turks is either a desert or a grassland. They have money and have no place to use it, so more than half a year has passed, and the Turks still have a lot of money.

Li Shimin's words awakened Du Ruhui instantly.

Since the Han Dynasty, the Central Plains has restricted trade with the northern minorities. In addition to curbing their development, another reason is that they have no money.

Although cattle and sheep can be exchanged, the transportation of cattle and sheep is not convenient, and there is a risk of death in the middle.

So even with the encouragement of the imperial court, not many people are willing to go.

But if the Turks had gold to trade with, the situation would be very different.

As far as Du Ruhui knew, even though the Tang Dynasty did not formally enter into business, the major families were secretly doing business. Now that Li Shimin brought this matter to the fore, it was not a bad idea.

Moreover, the treasury of the Tang Dynasty is now empty, and it can also solve the current urgent need by exchanging some money with the Turkic trade.

Not only the civil servants thought of the benefits of trade, but the military god of the Tang Dynasty, the leader of the generals, also thought of a lot.

Now he sent a lot of spies, but in the end they returned without success.

One of the big reasons is the lack of communication between Datang and Turks.

Once the two countries opened up trade, his people could break into the desert grassland openly, so that the intelligence work could be carried out quickly.

And once the connection of interests can be established, it will be much easier to separate them.

Of course, Pei Ju was the most excited among the crowd.

When he heard Li You's promise before, he still had some doubts in his heart, but now with Li Shimin's words, he still has no doubts.

Li Shimin's words also made the drowsy Li You's eyes shine again.

[Isn't it my idea to trade in the grassland and then separate the tribes in the grassland. 】

[No wonder Li Er can be called the emperor of the ages by the people of later generations!It seems that there is really something! 】

[That's good, it's a lie for me, now Pei Ju won't bother me. 】

Hearing Li You this time, he didn't complain about himself, but praised him crazily!

He even said that he is an emperor through the ages!
It made Li Shimin feel a little smug all of a sudden!
Li Shimin is very excited!
It's really not easy. For so many days, he has been complained by Li You, and the content of the complaints has become more and more rich and sharp. Now he finally heard a few words of appreciation!
Li Shimin straightened up involuntarily!
It is more gratifying to be appreciated by Li Ke than to show his holiness in front of the court master!

Seeing Li Shimin's excited appearance, Changsun Wuji naturally would not miss this opportunity to please his brother-in-law.

He knew that Li Shimin's strategy would not be so simple, and there must be follow-up arrangements.

"Your Majesty, who is in charge of this business?"

Changsun Wuji asked.

Being in charge of this trade seems to be full of dangers, but it is actually a fat job.

Hearing this, everyone stared at Li Shimin eagerly.

Li Shimin was naturally prepared. He recently asked Li Junxian to participate in the whole incident in order to let him serve as the special envoy for trade.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin turned his attention to Li Junxian.

However, just as he was about to announce the appointment, he heard Li You's voice.

[No way, Li Er plans to personally send someone to take care of this matter? 】

[I'm afraid you didn't ask Li Junxian to give the head away. 】

[By the way, Li Junxian is a good person, he is obedient and capable, he will do whatever Li Er asks him to do. 】

[But it's a pity, it wasn't because of trumped-up charges that Li Er killed him in the end! 】

Ok?
Li Shimin was stunned again!
No way, I will kill Li Junxian?
Thinking of this, Li Shimin took another serious look at Li Junxian.

Being able to appoint Li Junxian as the special trade envoy shows that Li Junxian has a very good impression in Li Shimin's heart.

He felt that Li Junxian worked hard and was very loyal!
But why did he kill Li Junxian?
Li Shimin was very surprised!
Li Shimin's surprise was not over yet, but Li You's heartfelt voice came again.

[Unfortunately, this time, Li Junxian probably couldn't hold on even at that time. If he was asked to go to Turkic, the khans would not show him how hard he was. If he made a small move, he would never return. 】

[For the matter of trade, why send someone to do it? Isn’t it good to collect a tariff honestly? 】

[If you want to do something, send people to repair two fixed trading points. When our people retreat, let the three of them go grab it! 】

This time, Li Shimin didn't have time to think about Li Junxian's matter. He felt that Li You's words were very reasonable.

'It seems that it is a wise decision to let this bastard go up. '

Li Shimin smiled slightly, and said to Changsun Wuji: "Since I have already said free trade, then I will not send anyone. The diplomatic affairs will be handed over to Honglu Temple, and a tax office will be set up at the border to collect business taxes. .”

"Of course, in order to ensure the safety of the Datang caravan, let's set up two trading points at the junction of several major tribes. We also need to ensure the safety of the Datang merchants."

A few words were said lightly, but it shocked all the officials present.

In just a few short sentences, many people saw the scene where the two Turkic khans, Tuli and Jieli, and Xue Yantuo killed each other, and the Tang Dynasty reaped the benefits.

The officials were all stunned there, only Li Shimin's eternal conspiracy echoed in their minds!
