Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 1000 Yuangai Suwen's Confusion

The data in Yuan Pure Land Newspaper is true.

In fact, it is not necessary to talk about Yuan Pure Land, Yuan Gai Suwen himself knows it.

The iron ingots stored in Goguryeo can be used for at least 30 years according to the consumption in previous years.Moreover, Datang also sells low-grade cowhide. Although it is a bit rough and has wounds on the cowhide, it is indeed cowhide.

Cowhide is a strategic material, and the stock of cowhide is enough to make armor for 10 people.

"Our Greater Goguryeo is developing rapidly, and the current national strength is strong, which is the merit of my brother."

Hearing Yuan Pure Land's praise, Yuan Gai Suwen shook his head again.

Yuan Jingtu said again: "What can the Tang Dynasty do? Even if we send troops to attack, with our national strength, even a million-strong army will return in vain. What's more, the Tang Dynasty even helped us form a navy, and there are already forty troops. Battleship, we are not weak."

After Yuan Jingtu finished speaking, he waited for a long time, and saw that Yuan Gai Su Wen still did not speak, and continued: "The people of Tang invested tens of millions of guan in our Dakoguryo industry, and this is not counting the coins invested in Maoshan Iron Mine. It's like a pledge, and once the war starts, our Koguryo can confiscate all of them."

Yuan Gai Suwen raised his head: "I know what you said, but the more you say it, the more disturbing it is."

"We can try."

"How to test?"

Yuan Jingtu replied: "Most of the profits of the porcelain vase business have been taken away by the nobles of Baekje. This has already caused dissatisfaction among many nobles in Koguryo. We wrote to the emperor of Tang Dynasty saying that we want to discuss with Baekje."

"How?"

"Negotiations, let's set a sky-high price to make the Baekje people turn their backs first, and then raise troops to destroy Baekje directly."

Yuan Gai Suwen put his hands on his forehead and thought about it. After a long time, Yuan Gai Suwen said: "Well, you bring enough treasures to find a reason to go to Chang'an City, give gifts and entertain guests, and find out if we attack the nobles and big people of Baekje. What do the officials think, I am deploying troops and horses to prepare for the war."

Yuan Jingtu looked very excited, and asked again: "Can I buy another batch of ordnance from the Tang people?"

"The Tang people will definitely not say yes in the open. If a few top nobles acquiesce, then they will propose to buy arms. If the Tang people sell us arms, then we will immediately send troops to fight. Don't waste time negotiating. After the fight Then support an obedient Baekje king and important officials of Baekje."

Yuan Gai Suwen gave Yuan Pure Land a very detailed arrangement.

After listening to Yuan Pure Land, his expression was full of excitement.

Yuan Gai Suwen continued: "If Baekje is annexed, then with the territory and population of Baekje, if we go to war with the Tang people, the chance of victory will be even greater."

"What if the Tang people never thought of going to war with us, but just doing business with each other?"

Facing Yuan Pure Land's question, Yuan Gai Suwen shook his head: "Impossible, we must have a battle with the Tang people, but I need to wait for the opportunity, once there is trouble within the Tang people, or a powerful foreign enemy fights against the Tang people, then we will take the opportunity to go north." Go out and occupy Yanzhou, so that our descendants can compete with the Tang people."

"Brother is wise, I will go and make arrangements according to my orders."

After Yuan Pure Land left, Yuan Gai Suwen went to his bookcase and took out a wooden box, which contained a lot of materials he collected about willow.

Yuan Gai Suwen has read these materials countless times, but every time he reads them, he will be more confused.

"According to the information, this Concubine Liu looks like a businessman, and he has also tempted Tang people to like being a businessman. His war seems to be just to become a better businessman. Such a person is in a high position, why?"

Yuan Gai Suwen felt that he could not understand Tang Ren at all.

Said Liu Mu married a princess?
But Liu Mu was not the only one who married a princess in the Tang Dynasty, and there were several other excellent generals.

However, the identity of this son-in-law who likes to be a businessman is becoming more and more noble. Is it true that coins are more important than land?

Yuan Gai Su Wen was confused, very confused.

He couldn't understand Liu Mu more and more, and he didn't understand the Emperor Tang. He had to know that the Emperor Tang was a ruthless man who was conscripted and killed. How could he trust so much a son-in-law who couldn't lead soldiers or go to the battlefield himself.

After collecting Liu Mu's materials, Yuan Gai Suwen thought that there would be no harm in letting Yuan Pure Land go to Chang'an for a test.

Yuan Gai Suwen didn't know that Maoshan was no longer the Maoshan in his memory, and he couldn't find out the detailed information here.

A forest warehouse in Maoshan Iron Mine.

Externally, this is a warehouse, and internally, this is a prison.

Five new officials sent by the Goguryeo King City are being locked in a wooden cage under a tree. The height of the wooden cage makes it impossible to stand up, and the width makes it impossible to sit down completely.

More than [-] original slaves, the Goguryeo slaves who were sold here as mine slaves, were sitting not far away in clean and tidy clothes, staring at the five Goguryeo officials.

One of them suddenly said: "It's quite cold in the evening, what will happen if we keep watering them?"

"Good idea." The other said excitedly, and immediately ordered his subordinates to fetch water.

The Goguryeo officials who were locked in the cage could not understand what these slaves were saying, because the former Goguryeo mining slaves here in Mushan no longer used Goguryeo, but uniformly used Chinese.

Some of these slaves have become officials, holding the eighth and ninth ranks of the Tang Dynasty.

A Goguryeo Tang official who was a slave in a mining area and was a slave in an official uniform came in from the outside. He saw that he was fetching water and asked a few words. Corporal punishment is allowed, and any Goguryeo noble’s dog, if they can’t submit, will make their life worse than death.”

"Yes!" More than two dozen responded loudly.

"Use Dim Sum, we live a good life, and those nobles still have to find a way to take [-]% of their income. If the news here is passed back, we and our family will return to the life we ​​used to have, no more Clean clothes, no more meat to eat, and daily work under the whip, it is impossible for our children to read and write."

"Lieutenant, don't worry about this matter. We sent out nearly a thousand secret sentries at the border of the entire mining area. Anyone who dares to sneak in or sneak out secretly will be arrested as long as they don't have a waist card."

The captain sat down, and someone poured a cup of tea immediately.

"Tea, I never thought I could drink tea before." The captain took a sip of tea after sighing with emotion, his eyes lit up: "Good tea, you actually have such good tea."

"The instructor brought this tea from Hangzhou. I heard that it is the second-class Longjing tea this year. During the training competition, the team rated it as excellent. The instructor gave us a few bottles."
