I have a backstage in Datang

Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair with a relaxed expression, watching the quarrel in the court hall with a smile on his face.

But seeing Baoguo Gong Duan Zhixuan's face full of anger, spitting stars flying all over the sky, he roared: "You want to monopolize the sales agency rights of medicines in the entire Western Regions? Are you Taiyuan Wang's afraid that your appetite will make you die?"

Among the civil servants on the opposite side, Wang Si, the patriarch of the Wang family, looked arrogant, and said indifferently: "The Wang family ranks among the five surnames and seven Wang, and has never died of eating for thousands of years. Regarding the drug sales agency rights in the Western Regions, I feel that the Wang family in Taiyuan Very appetizing."

"anxious!"

Duan Zhixuan's eyes widened, and he said sharply: "You guys think it suits your taste, and I also think it suits your taste!"

The old man Wang Si smiled and said lightly: "Whether you like it or not depends mainly on your strength. The reason why my Wang family in Taiyuan dared to ask for the agency right in the Western Regions is because we have enough Gu's points as confidence, but we don't know. What is your family's strength? Your family has only reclaimed [-] mu of land in Youzhou, right?"

Duan Zhixuan was obviously embarrassed, and then he fought back loudly, saying: "What's wrong with the [-] mu? That's just the amount of land reclamation this time. When the next season of cotton is planted, I will immediately increase the share of [-] mu."

Wang Si smiled leisurely, flicked out five fingers slowly, and said indifferently: "Unfortunately, the Taiyuan Wang family also plans to add land reclamation. When the next season of cotton planting, my family will reclaim another [-] mu of land."

Duan Zhixuan immediately froze on the spot.

Taiyuan Wang added another [-] mu to open up wasteland?

Adding the original [-] mu, that's [-] mu...

What a huge cotton harvest that will be?What kind of huge Gu's points will be earned?

At this time, Li Shimin spoke lightly, breaking the quarrel between the two of them: "Stop arguing, two lovers, I have a solution here."

The emperor looked at Duan Zhixuan as he spoke, and said soothingly, "You might as well let the Wang family of Taiyuan take the distribution rights of medicines from the countries in the Western Regions. Agents who have the ability to take over this area. But I will not let you suffer, I have assigned the authority of Tubo to you, and if you manage it well, you will definitely make some money..."

Duan Zhixuan was full of displeasure, and resentfully said: "Your Majesty, Tubo is very poor."

Li Shimin stared, and said: "If you are really powerful, how can I not assign the Western Regions to you? To be a man, you must recognize the reality and don't let everyone laugh. Do you want Tubo? If not, I will give it to others."

Duan Zhixuan had no choice but to bow his hands and agree: "I will follow His Majesty's arrangement."

Li Shimin nodded, looked at a civil official who was in charge of recording, and said, "Remember, Tubo's drug sales agent is Duan Zhixuan."

The civil servant quickly took a pen to record.

After the emperor waited for him to finish recording, he said again: "The 36 countries in the Western Regions are represented by the Wang family of Taiyuan."

The civil servant quickly took a pen to record again.

Soon, the two agency rights were confirmed, and the civil official looked up at Li Shimin, and said back: "Your Majesty, the agency rights for the sales of medicines are all owned..."

As he spoke, he held up the booklet in his hand and recited solemnly:

"For the countries in the Western Regions, the agent is the Wang family of Taiyuan."

"In the Tubo area, the agent is Duan Zhixuan."

"The Annan countries south of Lingnan, the agent is Liu Hongji."

"Liaodong Koguryo, Silla, Baekje, and overseas Japanese countries, the agent is Xingyang Zheng."

"Because of its vast territory, the grassland is divided into two major Turks, the East and the West, so they are respectively represented by the Cui family of Qinghe and the Li family of Zhaojun."

"Nanzhao..."

"Tianzhu..."

Read it out one by one, and each company has determined the area of ​​​​the agency.

This is like a grand carve-up, and all the civil and military officials in the court are excited.

After a long time passed, the chanting of the drug agency power was completed...

However, the emperor did not announce the disbandment of the court, and the ministers were suddenly gearing up again. Obviously, there was still a fight for proxy rights.

The next item is the sales agency right of various appliances.

Changsun Wuji was the first to walk out, bowed his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I want to take over the agency rights of all kinds of utensils in the grassland. If your majesty can take this right"

Chapter 310 [This is a trick of the Han people, why don't we resist]

This time the morning opened for a long time.

It was not until noon that the court was dismissed.

When Li Shimin finally announced the disbandment of the dynasty, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty seemed to be relieved at last. Regardless of whether they were civil servants from aristocratic families or military upstarts, everyone bowed their hands and saluted sincerely for the first time. They all said in unison, "Respectfully, Your Majesty..."

Throughout the dynasties, it is rare for an emperor to receive the sincere respect of all ministers at the same time.

Li Shimin's hearty laughter rang out for a long time.

The sales agency rights for all countries in the world have finally been allocated.

Next, it depends on how each family plunders the benefits!

……

Time is like reincarnation, five months in a flash, it seems that in a blink of an eye, the chill of early winter has ushered in again.

In the northwest of the Tang Dynasty, on the border of Longxi.

The sky and the earth are vast, and the desert smoke hangs down. This is a huge camp, and countless tents are set up in the mountain depression.

At the outermost part of the camp, thousands of camels lay on the ground, forming a defensive wall with five or six circles, resisting the wind, sand and cold in the desert at night.

Inside the camel defense circle, there are groups of yaks and sheep, but they are not gathered together, but surrounded by the tents.

Many shepherd dogs lie vigilantly beside these animals.

Pile after pile of bonfires can be seen everywhere in this huge camp. Between the blazing fires, the smell of barbecue permeated the air.

Singing and laughter resounded in the night.

It spread far, far away, to a small sand dune outside the camp.

……

But I saw an old man standing on the small sand dune, looking up at the starry sky with his hands behind his back under the moonlight, suddenly there were footsteps behind him, and a young girl came stepping on the sand.

The girl held a tobacco rod in her hand, and said respectfully: "Prophet Tuotuo, there is only the last bit of tobacco left. After you finish smoking, you have to endure it. This place is still far from Youzhou, so you can only smoke it when you get there." Tobacco leaf sales..."

"Really? Is it so fast?"

The Tuo Tuo Prophet seemed to be taken aback for a moment, then smiled wryly, shook his head and said, "As expected, it is a treasure made by the Han people. It is becoming more and more inseparable. We have just entered the border of the Tang Dynasty. Unexpectedly, The old camel's tobacco has been exhausted."

When talking about this, I couldn't help sighing, and said: "What should I do, it's hard to get addicted to cigarettes."

The girl pursed her lips, her expression seemed to be a little hesitant, and it took a long time before she said tentatively: "Prophet Camel, are you also inseparable from Han people's things?"

The Prophet Tuotuo turned around, took the pipe and lit it, took a puff and exhaled a puff of smoke, then smiled and asked: "Girl Murong, old Tuotuo understands everything you worry about."

There was a sense of sadness in the girl's tone, and there was a hint of panic and bitterness in the girl's voice. She opened her lips and said lightly: "A catty of dry tobacco leaves costs two cows. This is just tobacco leaves, a luxury that only nobles can enjoy, so We didn't buy much, and the price we paid wasn't huge, but..."

The girl hesitated again, and suddenly summoned up her courage to look at the old Tuo Tuo, and asked sadly: "But the Han people make more than that, and the goods they sell scare me."

The Prophet Tuo Tuo glanced at him and asked, "Murong, why do you feel fear?"

The girl's eyes were slightly red, and her voice suddenly became louder, as if screaming: "Since we made purchases in Youzhou five months ago, all the Tuyuhun merchants seem to have been bewitched, they went crazy, they went crazy, everyone They all want to come to the Han people to make purchases, and then transport them back to Tuyuhun and sell them to make a fortune..."

Prophet Tuo Tuo took another drag on his cigarette, and said with a smile, "Isn't that good? We Tuyuhun people are merchants. Our ancestors have been in business for generations, and everyone likes money in their bones."

"No, it's not like that!"

The girl's voice was louder, like the struggle of a person who fell into the water, and shouted again: "Prophet Camel, can't even you see the danger here? We Tuyuhun people will soon perish. It will definitely kill your own country."

The Camel Prophet's face was serious for the first time, and he stared at the girl with seemingly muddy but deep eyes, and said slowly: "Murong girl, you are too young. With your current age and experience, you are like a little girl with a horn not yet hardened." Lamb, who thinks he sees through everything, doesn't realize he's only seen the surface."

The girl was obviously taken aback, and subconsciously said: "I only saw through the most superficial layer?"

The old man chuckled, nodded kindly, and suddenly asked: "Do you think that the old Tuo Tuo is old and confused?"

The girl opened her mouth, but did not dare to admit it.

The old man asked again: "And your father and the nobles of Tuyuhun, they are all like the old camels, their eyes are only on the treasures of the Han people, it seems that we don't think about the future of Tuyuhun at all, we just want to enjoy it every day. The luxury and wealth in front of you... Miss Murong, this is what you want to talk about, right?"

The girl nodded slightly, and said sadly: "Yes!"

The old man smiled and sighed, and suddenly stretched out his hand to caress the top of her head, and said earnestly: "Girl, remember, we see farther than you, and even you can think of these problems, can't us elders think of them? But we never At the beginning, I didn't worry about these problems at all... because I couldn't resist."

"This is an upright conspiracy of the Han people. They are not afraid of us seeing through and resisting!"

"As for ourselves, we really can't resist."

"Once you choose to resist, that is the real subjugation of the country."

The girl was taken aback for a moment, her pretty face was stunned, and she subconsciously said, "How is it possible?"

The old man withdrew his hand stroking her forehead, looked up at the stars in the sky, and said slowly: "Girl, let the old camel tell you what is called the general trend, when all the countries in the world start to use things made by the Han people." , that is a general trend that no one can resist and resist, if a certain country chooses to resist, the country will inevitably be subjugated."

"Let me make an analogy. We, Tuyuhun and Loulan, both belong to the countries of the Western Regions, but their philosophies are completely opposite. It is precisely because of their different philosophies that they have completely different attitudes towards Han Chinese goods..."

"We Tuyuhun people have been in business for generations. Although we like money, we know how to be kind to others. Therefore, our merchants are not afraid of hardships and go around doing business, and earn income through their own hard work. For example, now that the Han people have released restrictions on the sale of goods to foreign countries, we in Tuyuhun People immediately travel thousands of miles to do business.”

"But what about Loulan? They made another choice. The Loulan people also love money in their hearts. But they are different from us Tuyuhun people. Their way of making money is to rely on the city to collect taxes..."

"I have explained this to you before. The location of Loulan's land is very advantageous. They are close to the largest lake in the Western Regions, and there is also a large river with the richest water veins in the country. Therefore, as early as the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains, Loulan It is the top priority of the entire Western Region business path."

"Any caravan doing business in the Western Regions must replenish drinking water and food in Loulan, rest their feet, and relieve fatigue."

"This has led to Loulan's existence becoming more and more important."

"Over the years, their hearts have become more and more proud."

"You can collect money while sitting at home, and you don't need to travel around at all. Whenever a caravan arrives, they can collect as much tax as they want, because everyone has to stop in Loulan."

"The pride of their hearts made them start to be arrogant, and when the Han people opened up foreign trade restrictions, the Loulan people really didn't choose to make friends with the Han people."

"It is said that Gu Tianya's business letter to King Loulan was actually taken by the arrogant king to wipe his ass."

"The Loulan people have never purchased goods from the Han people."

"The Tuyuhun people are already lying in the fifth place..."

The camel prophet stopped here, looked at the girl again with deep eyes, and asked solemnly: "Girl, tell me, what kind of ending will this lead to?"

The girl was slightly taken aback, then subconsciously said: "Is it the ending of our Tuyuhun and Loulan?"

"Not bad!" The camel prophet nodded.

The girl Xiumei frowned and said in thought: "Those things of the Han people can make the nation stronger. Although I know that selling them to us is a kind of wealth plunder, I have to admit that their things are indeed helpful to us. For example, the magic medicine vaccine used by young children can ensure that children will not die young, and as the vaccine continues to be used, the population of our Tuyuhun will definitely continue to increase."

"At the same time, the Loulan people did not vaccinate their children. Therefore, their population will be slowly dropped by us."

"Also, all kinds of utensils sold to us by the Han people. For example, those living utensils can make the life of Tuyuhun people easier, and those production utensils can greatly help the people create wealth."

"At the same time, the Loulan people did not purchase the utensils of the Han people. They had less help from these utensils than us, and the people in the country gradually fell behind ours. But it will definitely be thrown off over time.”

"Ten or twenty years later, our Tuyuhun people's national strength will become stronger, but what about Loulan? They are still standing still."

At this time, the Prophet Camel smiled and said with a deep meaning: "At that time, Loulan still occupied the precious resting place of the commercial roads in the Western Regions, and because of the goods sold by the Han people to foreigners, it caused merchants from the Western Regions to go to the Central Plains to do business. The more teams there are, the more caravans there are, the more wealth the Loulan people will earn by collecting taxes. At that time, will we bear it?"

The girl's eyes were startled, and she blurted out subconsciously: "You mean we might attack Loulan?"

The Tuo Tuo Prophet looked leisurely, and said with a smile: "The national strength is weaker than ours, but we are so rich. Why do we Tuyuhun people have to pay the money honestly, why can't we save this expenditure?"

The old man stopped talking for a while, his eyes suddenly became serious, and he said: "You just said to attack Loulan, are you really a child who hasn't grown up? We are not just going to attack Loulan? We are going to launch the extermination of the country directly." War. Girl, remember, there is no friendship between countries, and the so-called friendship between Tuyuhun and Loulan for generations is pure bullshit in the face of national interests."

The girl froze in place.

Prophet Tuo Tuo took a deep look at her, and said earnestly: "Now, you should have figured out some confusion. Why can't we resist the conspiracy of the Han people? Why do we still want to buy their wealth knowing that the Han people are plundering our wealth?" goods……"

"The reason is very simple. If we don't buy other countries, we will buy it."

"It's like the current comparison between Loulan and Tuyuhun. We keep getting stronger by using the things of the Han people, while Loulan keeps getting weaker because of the things that contradict the Han people. One day, we will destroy the country."

"If, as you said just now, we Tuyuhun people also go against the things of the Han people, then Murong girl, do you think the Tuyuhun people will be the next Loulan?"

"This is the general trend that the old camel will tell you. If a country resists the general trend, it will definitely be destroyed."

The girl looked dazed, and stood in a daze under the moonlight.

After a long time, she seemed to have a flash of inspiration in her mind, and suddenly argued: "No, there is a flaw in this general trend. If all the countries in the world unite, everyone will resist the goods sold to us by the Han people. , once that happens, there will be no situation where who becomes stronger and who becomes weaker..."

"Oh, what a silly girl."

The Tuo Tuo Prophet sighed, picked up the tobacco rod and took a breath, and said leisurely: "The situation you think about will always only appear in fantasy."

The girl seemed to understand and came over, her pretty face suddenly turned pale and bloodless, and said: "Yes, this situation can only exist in fantasy. Not to mention uniting all the countries in the world, I am afraid that the countries in the Western Regions have all kinds of thoughts, maybe they On the surface, they will agree to unite, but secretly, they will definitely secretly buy things from the Han people, and then, after the national power becomes stronger, they will destroy other countries.”

The Tuo Tuo Prophet sighed leisurely, and said earnestly: "Girl, you have finally figured it out. There is no such thing as an alliance between countries. If we want to unite everyone to resist the Han people's goods, then it is inevitable to welcome us." It will end like Loulan. The country will be destroyed, the family will be destroyed..."

He paused while talking, looked at the girl, and warned solemnly: "At that time, every Tuyuhun person will become someone else's slave."

The girl's delicate body trembled, fear appeared on her face.
