Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

Yuchi Baoqi simply put it clearly: "A large number of high-quality handicrafts entered their country to seize their raw materials, and a large amount of grain entered their country. Baoli Grain Company used the temptation of low-priced grain to induce them to sell their good farmland."

“Who is standing behind Baoli Commercial Bank? To whom does the tax revenue earned by Baoli Commercial Bank go? The profits finally obtained by Baoli Commercial Bank will be fed back to the country, continuously…”

Fang Xuanling still had some concerns: "What if those small countries rebel?"

Yuchi Baoqi laughed loudly, turned to Yuchi Jingde and said, "Dad, what if someone rebels?"

Not only Yuchi Jingde laughed, but several generals including Li Jing and Qin Qiong also laughed. However, in Fang Xuanling's eyes, these generals' brilliant laughter looked like fangs stained with dark red blood.

Yuchi Baoqi spread his hands: "All this is not in the initial stage, it will be carried out imperceptibly, maybe in the future they will have to beg our Baoli Grain Store and Commercial Company to settle in their territory."

"By the way, there are more than one meeting recently. The Belt and Road Initiative is just an appetizer. If you feel unwell, let me know in advance so that I can make arrangements."

After an hour of hesitation, Yuchi Baoqi brought the Tang Dynasty group back to the conference room. As expected, all the foreign countries agreed to join the Belt and Road Initiative.

Yuchi Baoqi pulled down another huge scroll: "This one is the route map of the Belt and Road Initiative. Due to the lack of land transportation, after leaving the Tang Dynasty, we still need to use traditional primitive animal power to transport materials."

"So, before the Central Asia-Europe railway is completed, most of the Belt and Road Initiative will use sea transportation."

"Everyone has received this booklet before the meeting. I have listed the supplies, commodities, and materials owned by various countries. You can conduct bilateral or multilateral trade on your own initiative."

Yuchi Baoqi pointed at the Sogdian envoy and said, "For example, Sogdians want to trade with the Tang Dynasty. Sogdian envoy, what do you think is the way to do it?"

The Sogdian envoy straightened his clothes and said, "Ahem, hello, respected Minister of Revenue. I am a diplomatic envoy of the Sogdian Kingdom. The Sogdian side hopes to import Tang Dynasty porcelain, silk, high-quality daily chemicals, and grain."

"I, Sogdia, cannot use treasure notes for trade settlement for the time being. Please allow me to use raw materials for trading."

Yuchi Baoqi opened the booklet and said, "Sogdia, you are rich in oil, gems, and high-quality copper mines, so let's trade with them."

Yuchi Baoqi closed the booklet and said, "Of course, you can also sell your raw materials, specialties, etc. directly to the Tang Dynasty. Of course, the settlement method will be the sovereign currency of the Tang Dynasty, that is, the Tang Dynasty Treasure Notes."

"Since the envoys have made plans to join the Belt and Road Initiative, let's prepare for the next meeting now."

The envoys looked at each other in bewilderment. Didn't they ask us to come to a meeting? Why is there suddenly another meeting? However, the Belt and Road Initiative still sounds very exciting. Let's continue the meeting. Otherwise, what else can we do when we can return home?

Yuchi Baoqi raised his finger and said, "First, we need to clarify the concept of a country. A country refers to a social group that has a common language, culture, race, territory, government, or history. It is a term in political geography."

"The elements of a country include the following: national territory, people, and government, that is, the regime."

"In addition, the state also has complete sovereignty, which is the supreme power of a state to independently handle its internal and external affairs. Sovereignty includes territorial sovereignty and independence. Territorial sovereignty means that the state has the highest jurisdiction over its territory and all people and things within the territory, and independence means that the state has the right to independently determine its own foreign policy, etc., without interference from other countries."

The Sogdian envoy pressed the button and glared at Michelle, "Your Majesty, what happens if one country declares war on another?"

Yuchi Baoqi pressed his hand to signal the Sogdian envoy not to get excited: "Wars between countries are diverse. If Sogdia launched an inhumane massacre against the citizens of Michel in Sogdia, then Michel's declaration of war on Sogdia is reasonable."

"Declaring war without cause, or sending troops to attack, is aggression."

"This is also the reason why I asked about the territorial scope of various countries in advance. Once it is determined, it will not be changed. Development cannot rely on aggression. Countries that indulge in war and aggression will not have a good end."

Seeing that some envoys showed a slightly teasing expression, Yuchi Baoqi glanced at Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling came out holding a booklet: "In my hand is the proportion of military expenditures in the Tang Dynasty's treasury over the past five years. It is only one-tenth of the Tang Dynasty's tax revenue in the past five years."

Li Jing touched the jade belt around his waist with both hands: "The former Tibetan king, Songtsen Gampo, wanted to marry a princess of the Tang Dynasty. When he failed, he attacked three cities in Songzhou without reason. The Tianwei Army responded to him."

"In the ninth year of Wude, Jie Li Khan of Mobei signed the Weishui Alliance with the Tang Dynasty. It was an unequal treaty, and his response was to plunder the land and sweep away the people."

"Goguryeo colluded with Jie Li, hoping to fight on two fronts, so that the Tang soldiers were attacked from both sides, and they were responded by the artillery fire of the Tianwei Army."

"Grand Duke Vladimir of Luosha has repeatedly carried out armed provocations in our northeast region, killing and injuring many of our Tang civilians and soldiers. Now all of his territory belongs to Tang."

"The Khosa Khanate blocked the Tianwei Army's marching route and harassed and ambushed the Tianwei Army many times. Now it no longer exists."

"Charlemagne's Empire supports Grand Duke Vladimir with manpower, weapons, and logistics, and is currently under the armed control of the Tang Army."

Li Jing narrowed his eyes and scanned all the envoys: "You... can you name a war that was unilaterally provoked by the Tang Dynasty? Our Tang Dynasty is a mighty China, and our Tang Dynasty army is a righteous army. Warmongering? This word has nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty army!"

The envoys, who had just put their minds at ease, all sat up straight and dared not relax even a bit.

The Sogdian envoy looked down on these people. Is my brother so scary? You are a bunch of idiots. Just follow my brother. How can my brother deceive you poor people?

Yuchi Baoqi clapped his hands and said, "We pursue a policy of peace. If there is a dispute between the two countries, they can come to the Tang Dynasty for consultations, just like Sogdia and Michelle did. Resolving armed conflicts through conversations will benefit both sides."

The Sogdian envoys took the lead in applauding: "Good! Your Royal Highness, the King of England said it well!"

[He is my brother. You should learn how to talk from him. It is all about words! It is all useful information! ]

Yuchi Baoqi waited for the applause to stop: "With this, I will introduce the United Nations system to you. In the United Nations system, all countries must adhere to equality, mutual assistance, and respect, and meetings should be held to resolve problems."
