Save Datang MM

"Both my father and adoptive father want to find you." Lianrou said excitedly, "I wanted to go to Luoyang to meet you, who wouldn't have thought that you would come here."

"What do you want from me?" Xu Ziling asked lightly.

"Naturally, there is something important." Lianrou's small face was flushed with excitement, and she said inexplicably excitedly: "Father wants to talk to you about trade, and father-in-law wants to form an alliance with you to deal with the enemy."

"What common enemy do I have with Tong Yehu Khan?" Xu Ziling wondered: "Western Turks don't have much contact with our Central Plains soldiers, and there is a powerful East Turks and Tie Le Tuyuhun ghost Zi Gaochang in the middle." Waiting for small countries to walk around, I don't think there is any possibility of forming an alliance with Western Turks."

"East Turkic and Tie Le have been plundering the Central Plains all the time, aren't you afraid that they will hit Luoyang one day?" Lian Rou actually has a bit of potential as a lobbyist and believes that she has recited a lot of these words.

"Then what can Western Turkic help me? Send people? Or send horses?" Xu Ziling laughed and said, "Isn't Tong Yehu planning to support me?"

"If the Western Turks form an alliance with you, it will be a deterrent to them." Lianrou persuaded: "If the Eastern Turks and Tiele invade your territory, then Yifu will definitely send troops to support you. Liu Wuzhou of your Han people Both Master Liang and the Eastern Turks are very strong with the help of the Eastern Turks. Although they are not connected to your territory now, they definitely like Luoyang City and they must fight for it..."

"Both Liu Wuzhou and Liang Shi have Dou Jiande's Xia Jun and Li Yuan's Tang Jun rejecting me, so don't worry too much." Xu Ziling said with a chuckle: "My son's Luoyang City is a natural danger. If you don't have a hundred thousand troops, don't think about it. The cavalry is not good at attacking the city, no matter how strong Liu Wuzhou and Liang Shi are, there is no way for me!"

"Even if there is no danger now, then in the future you Han people will have a word of peace...thinking...dangerous." Lian Rou tried her best to describe it.

"Be prepared for danger in times of peace?" Xu Ziling laughed loudly and said, "Tell me about the conditions for our Huaxia Army to form an alliance with Western Turks?"

"You agreed?" Lianrou was going to persuade her for three days and three nights.But he didn't expect Xu Ziling to let go so soon.

"No." Xu Ziling said flatly, "But it's okay to listen."

"You don't need to pay money or make offerings." Lianrou made a condition and said: "Father said that in Luoyang, you should give Western Turkic privileges a garrison of at least a hundred people. It is the covenant garrison of the two families. You can also send some people to the golden tent. Luoyang also sends [-] women every year, [-] pieces of silk, [-] pieces of cloth, and [-] pieces of cloth to your allies, and then the adoptive father will return [-] good horses every year to give you as a gift. The armed forces also send you a thousand sheep and two hundred cattle a year more than you have. What do you think?"

"Switch it over." Xu Ziling laughed and said, "I will give him five hundred horses, one thousand sheep and two hundred cows. Tong Yehu will return me five hundred women and five hundred silks and satins and cloth. What do you think?" "

"Western Turks have less silk and satin, and more cloth than cattle and sheep. How can we exchange them?" Lianrou still didn't understand the meaning of Xu Ziling's language.

"That's why you say Yehu Dahan is beating beggars." Xu Ziling shook his head and said happily, "Five hundred horses, one thousand sheep and two hundred cows are nothing! I have so many horses, sheep and cattle you guys." Didn't you hear?"

"What's five hundred horses a year? Five thousand horses in ten years!" Xu Ziling said with a chuckle, "My son has so many horses that I don't even care about hundreds of horses. Let your Tong Yehu Khan keep them for himself! You also have plenty of satin and cloth. There are so many that you can burn them, but you won’t change them! Anyone who has the ability will come to grab my advantage. That’s a dream!"

"Then you don't agree to form an alliance?" Lianrou still doesn't quite understand Xu Ziling's meaning.

"Listen to my son's conditions. If Tong Yehu can accept it, then we can form an alliance." Xu Ziling laughed and said: "First, the Western Turks have to send three hundred beauties over every year. Note that they must be beautiful and ugly. If the Western Turks Turks don’t have so many Persian beauties, so Persia doesn’t have so many, so I’ll go grab them anyway, anyway, no matter how I come here, as long as they’re beauties.”

"You Han people have so many women, why do you need women?" Lianrou was confused when she heard it.

"I'm going to match all my subordinates with a concubine from a foreign race, isn't it?" Xu Ziling coaxed: "There are many Han women but there are also many men! And they are strong and help you Persian and Western Turkic men. Ah! It’s a lot of work for those who are capable! Be careful not to be a woman but a beautiful woman. You must be different from your father and foster father when you repay. There is a difference between them.”

"We brought so many beauties? And why do we have so many every year?" Lian Rou was suddenly embarrassed.

"I don't care about this, my lord." Xu Ziling said with a chuckle: "The second one, of course, is to ask for two thousand horses a year! But please note that it must be a good horse, an old horse, or a fetus. No way."

"Do you still want horses?" Lianrou shook her head and said, "You want so many more? My foster father will never agree."

"How do you know he won't agree if you don't tell him?" Xu Ziling laughed and said, "Don't worry about the third condition, that is, you need gold. Everything else is fake. Only gold is the most affordable and costs a hundred dollars a year." Jin! It’s a trifle, anyway, you Persians and Turks are rich.”

"What?!" Lianrou almost didn't faint when she heard that.

"You Persia and Eastern Rome, that is, Byzantium, have fought for nearly a hundred years. If you win more than you lose, you don't count the indemnity of Byzantium alone. The gold you all have is tens of thousands of pounds. If you want silver from others One hundred thousand pounds, one hundred thousand pounds, what other people want pepper, silk, satin, fur, etc. Byzantium gave you [-] pounds of gold in Persia every year as compensation so much, the former son is just a small one, and it is not too much to ask for one hundred catties a year? "Xu Ziling said indifferently.

"As for Western Turks, there are as many countries as Persia. Not to mention the looted places are just offerings from other countries, they are also countless." Xu Ziling got up to dry himself, put on his clothes, and smiled lightly: "There are gold sand deposits in the territory of Western Turks. .How much gold sand is mined every year? If you don't have gold, how can I grab food from the beggar's bowl?"

"Then what are you going to give in exchange?" It took Lianrou a long time to remember that there were also terms of exchange.

"Wine." Xu Ziling laughed loudly: "I have the strongest wine in the world. The coolest wine in the world is a hundred times stronger than your kumiss. It is the wine that real men can drink. I will give it to you for a year. How about a thousand altars of wine that non-heroes can't drink?"

"What else?" Lian Rou asked again.

"Clothes." Xu Ziling smiled and said, "I have the best silk and the best weavers. The silk and satin weaved by the best weavers are as thin as gauze and as light as pearl silk. And the colors are bright and colorful. It is guaranteed to delight your Persian nobles and Western Turks." Every man has a feeling of superiority. I will give you a hundred pieces of silk and satin every year."

"One hundred horses?" Lianrou cried out, "One hundred horses is too little..."

"Then replace it with cloth. I will give you five hundred pieces." Xu Ziling laughed and said, "Princess Lianrou, what do you think it is? It is made of silk. Is it something that ordinary people can afford? That is a king." And noble clothes!"

"What else?" Lian Rou asked again.

"Fish." Xu Ziling said with a slight smile, "Although the Persians live near the sea, the Western Turks seldom eat fish? It doesn't matter that I have it. I am very generous and decided to give you ten carts of fresh fish. I guarantee that none of the fresh fish will rot. of."

"How much is ten carts?" Although Lian Rou had a general impression of carriages, she still felt that ten carts were too few.

"Ten carts must add up to be heavier than the three hundred beauties you sent." Xu Ziling smiled and said, "I know you can't make up your mind and go back and talk to Tong Yehu. If you don't want to form an alliance, you can't do trade." I want to collect the toll, and I will collect the money first and then deliver the goods.”

"How could you do this?" Lianrou said a little annoyed, "He is really sincere in negotiating a covenant with you. Are you dealing with me like this?"

"I'm also very sincere." Xu Ziling laughed and said, "Don't say I won't agree to Tong Yehu's condition, even a fool wouldn't agree. Princess Lianrou. Do you understand? He's called a lion with a big mouth. How can you agree if you are sincere?"

"Your condition is also that the lion speaks." Lianrou countered.

"What's wrong with my son?" Xu Ziling wondered, "I'll give you what you Persian and Western Turkic people lack. If you like to drink, I'll send you the strongest wine; I will also give you any beautiful clothes. Silk; I’ve never eaten fresh fish and I’m going to ask you for it. What did I do wrong?”

"You asked for too much and gave too little." Lianrou naturally refused to accept it.

"How could that be?" Xu Ziling said with a chuckle, "What I want is the equivalent value. You Persia and Western Turks already have more women than men, even if you are beautiful, it's not a problem. And you can plunder other countries or order subordinate countries to worship them. As for the fast horses, you are rich in nonsense; and you are rich in gold, too."

"I can't just give it to you like that!" Lianrou became even more annoyed when she heard that.

"You must have never tried what is called fine wine, what is called silk, and what is called fresh fish." Xu Ziling said with certainty.

As soon as he lifted the table, he brought the whole table, together with the fresh fruit and wine on it, to the door, and then opened the door, which shocked Lianrou.Xu Ziling ignored her, took out a small altar, patted open the mud seal, carefully poured a little into a bowl, and handed the bowl to Lianrou.Lian Rou saw that the wine was clear and colorless, it didn't look like fine wine at all, and it had just been soaked in the bottom of the bowl, let alone an adult, even a baby could drink it in one gulp.

With a bit of anger, she tilted her neck and drank the little bit of wine.

As a result, she found that her whole body seemed to be on fire.

A hot stream ignited in the mouth and then went straight down the throat until the heart and lungs burned the internal organs, which made her startled and excited and couldn't help screaming.She was jumping and jumping all over and couldn't stop the burning in her mouth. Fortunately, Xu Ziling grabbed her with one hand and put a cold thing into her small mouth, and gradually got better.

"So spicy, so hot..." Lianrou couldn't help sweating while waiting for the cold weather. It took her a long time to recover before she could speak.

"How about this wine?" Xu Ziling moved a small skewer of grilled fish to Lianrou's mouth and smiled, "Take a bite." As a result, Lianrou couldn't help reaching out to snatch Xu Ziling's grilled fish skewer after taking a bite.

"Hmm..." Lianrou didn't want to talk at this moment, she just wanted to eat fish.

At this time, Xu Ziling tried his best to interfere with her fish-eating Yaxing, changed into a snow-white silk scarf, came out and changed into a tiny ring, then used the silk scarf to gently pass through the little thing, and unfolded, it turned out to be a strip nearly three feet wide. Silk scarves with more than a foot.When Lianrou saw the other hand, she felt it was as smooth as her own skin, and hurriedly grabbed it and hung it around her little neck, but she just ate fish and didn't speak.

"I even met a robber princess in my relationship." Xu Ziling said with a chuckle: "Go back and tell your father and adoptive father that there will be no harm in dealing with this son. By the way, remember the most important one. The three hundred must be beautiful women Otherwise it doesn't count..."
