System: The 101st Marriage Proposal at the beginning of the journey

"The patriarch is wise." All the ministers in the hall complimented him.

"Okay, okay, stop complimenting me, as if I'm strong, I don't believe you can't think of it. Anu, is there anything else? If not, everyone should come up with a plan and assign people together." It turned out that the patriarch Together with a group of important ministers, he is giving political lessons to the future ruler.

Anu tilted his head and thought for a while, "Uh, that's right, there are more! Master Lin said that the newly built market only does business with us Dali people, and if anyone does business with Nanzhao people, both buyers and sellers will be killed. "

"Well, Master Lin really hates the people of Nanzhao. The longer this dispute is established, the greater the hidden danger of the conflict between Dali and Nanzhao. Sooner or later, the people of Nanzhao will covet our Dali again because of the huge benefits. Heart, but we know this truth but have to eat this poisonous apple, because we are now on the weak side, if we do not have these interests to support us, we will become weaker and weaker. If there is another war, we have almost no chance of winning. So no matter How do you have to eat this apple first, and at the same time establish a good relationship with Lin Jiabao, and try to pull them into the water to help us directly in the next war. This is to give them enough benefits in this transaction! One big enough for them interests that cannot be let go."

"How much benefit? If we reduce trade profits, wouldn't we still be unable to develop?" Anu asked.

The patriarch looked around at the ministers, and finally set his sights on Gai Luojiao, "General Gai, tell me?"

"Yes, Patriarch," Gai Luojiao said after standing up and saluting, "The profit from trade with the Central Plains will be an important source of income for our Dali Kingdom in the future. Therefore, in order to achieve our goal, our trade products must have what the Song Kingdom needs most. According to my opinion, what Song State lacks most is horses. At the beginning of the founding of the country, it was precisely because they lost Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures and had no good horse producing areas, so they have been on the strategic defensive. We seem to be able to start from this aspect.”

"Tang Yu, what about you? What do you think?" The patriarch asked Tang Yu again.

"Well, I think our refined iron is better than theirs, but our weapon manufacturing is still a little worse than theirs. It seems that we can recruit some craftsmen to improve the craftsmanship, and directly make weapons and farm tools in Dali. This will be more profitable than selling refined iron " Tang Yu didn't think as much as Ge Luojiao.

"We all have fine iron and charcoal for making weapons and agricultural tools. The craftsmen we recruit need to eat and drink in Dali. If we earn a lot, we have to marry wives and have children. This will bring us long-term benefits, so this is also a direction. , but the biggest profit of the finished product must be given to Lin Jiabao, otherwise they will not trade the finished product but choose to trade refined iron."

"It's because the subordinates didn't think carefully." Tang Yu lowered his head. As a general, he can charge into the battle. Asking him about this kind of policy is simply a kind of torture to him.

"In fact, although we have a lot of horses, our horses can gallop like flying in the mountains like walking on the flat ground, but we have no advantage in the plains. Our horses can't sprint fast, and they can only be used as draft horses in the plains. , although talk is better than nothing, but it can't play a decisive role."

"Patriarch, just speak directly." Gai Luojiao was close to the patriarch, so he spoke directly.

"Well, I think since we can't provide suitable horses for Da Song, shouldn't it be enough to reduce the number of horses for Da Song's opponents?" said the patriarch

"Da Song's opponent? Daliao!? You mean to reduce the number of horses in Daliao?" Gai Luojiao asked in surprise, as if he didn't agree with the patriarch's idea.From Dali Kingdom's point of view, Da Song is already too much to provoke, but Daliao is an existence that can suppress Da Song.How can it be easy to provoke!
"General Gai, don't worry. Daliao doesn't border my country and Nanzhao, so even if we do something that harms Daliao, what can they do? As long as we don't do it with much fanfare and save their face, at least It's nothing more than a gentle reprimand." The patriarch said with confidence.

"I think the patriarch already has an idea, so you can tell us what to do, so as to save us from wasting time." Gai Luojiao said straightforwardly.

"Hehe, what I mean is to develop a poison that can cause abortion in horses, so that as long as the poison is spread to the grasslands of the Liao Kingdom every spring, the number of horses in the Liao Kingdom can be reduced year by year. We can control the supply of such horses to the Song Kingdom every year. The amount of Gu poison is enough to make the Song Kingdom inseparable from our help." The patriarch said the plan, and the important officials present whispered for a while, most of them agreed with the patriarch's meaning, and the only concern was the attitude of the Liao Kingdom.

"I've said about the issue of the Liao Kingdom before. We only border Song and Nanzhao. After becoming the lord of the country, even if the Liao Kingdom exerts pressure, it will be easy to suppress the following thoughts." The patriarch explained.

"So you might as well give it a try. It shouldn't be a big problem for me to talk to Shenggu about the matter of Gu poison. It shouldn't be a problem for Tang Yu to handle the matter of selling horses to the Song Dynasty. I can't think of a suitable contact for absorbing Han artisans. People, you have to think about who is suitable." It's not that Ge Luojiao can't think of a candidate, but that he can't do everything, and now this is the way to be a minister.

The patriarch walked back and forth for two steps, looked at Anu and said, "Anu, you can go to Master Lin to see if he can help you. In fact, it is best to ask Master Lin for help directly, but you should go to Master Lin first. There is also a buffer, if you really can’t do it, you can go to Lord Lin, if Master Lin can solve it, you don’t need to lose the favor of Lord Lin, it’s not easy to pay back the debt.”

Anu nodded, "Understood, Aniang, I'll go find Master Lin right now."

"Well, this matter should be done sooner rather than later. You go now and tell Master Lin about the special products we want to trade in the market. Also tell him about the daily trade of [-] tons of grain. With a word, he has to cooperate in this matter." The patriarch urged.

"Well, don't worry, Ma'am, I can't make mistakes in this matter." Anu said confidently.

The patriarch patted Anu on the head, "Aniang believes that you can handle this matter well, so go."

After Anu's figure disappeared from everyone's eyes, the patriarch withdrew his gaze, "How do you see Anu recently?"

"After this period of experience, the young master has improved a lot, and I believe he will become a qualified king in a short time." Gai Luojiao said.

"The young master is smart and kind, and he will definitely become a wise master." Tang Yu complimented.

The patriarch praised by everyone couldn't help laughing, "Hehehe, you all watched Anu grow up. After experiencing this war, Anu grew up. It seems that war is really the most tempering person. I hope she can Grow up quickly, and then we can all relax."
