The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1769 The hidden danger behind

There are good and bad things that Datang did. The bad thing is people's thoughts and greed. Datang treats them well. And there are still few generals who follow Datang wholeheartedly like Qibi Heli and Ashina Simo.

It is precisely because of knowing more that Xuan Shijing used to think that it was a loss for Datang to do so, but after experiencing it personally, seeing it, being in this circle, and sitting in a certain seat, he realized that It is actually very good for Datang to do this, otherwise Chang'an City would not have such a high status, and Chang'an City would not have become the center of the entire Asia, or even the center of the entire world today.

Datang has been constantly accepting foreign things with his infinitely tolerant mind, and Xuan Shijing, as a courtier, as one of the people at the helm of this huge empire, his duty is to help Datang Distinguish the good and bad of these foreign things, take the essence and discard the dross.

Speaking of Qibi Heli's Tiele tribe, the place where the Tiele tribe lived on the grassland is quite close to Xue Yantuo. After all, the Tiele tribe attached themselves to Xue Yantuo in order to escape the oppression of the Turks, so it should be close Yes, Tie Le paid tribute to Xue Yantuo with cattle and sheep, and if the Turks invaded, the two tribes would fight against the Turks together. Although the two tribes sent troops together, most of them were on Xue Yantuo. big.

Qibi Heli, the Khan of Tie Le, has come to Datang to serve as an official. Datang must be as good to the Tie Le tribe as his son. Since the entire Tie Le tribe is so loyal to Datang, then help them It doesn't matter.

But in fact, only Xuan Shijing knew whether this was good or bad for the people on the grassland.

But in the short term, it must be good, because it can make them earn money and live a better life.

"In this case, after I arrive at the Anbei Protectorate, I will write a letter and send it back to Chang'an, so that the people from Chang'an can go to the Tie Le Department to buy wool." Xuan Shijing said with a smile: "At the same time, the general will also write a letter to your tribe and let them prepare in advance."

Speaking of which, it is time to shear the sheep in this season. With the arrival of summer, the weather will become hotter and hotter. The wool on the sheep on the grassland will be shaved off after the winter. People on the prairie keep some of the wool for their own use, and the rest of the wool is basically useless, and it piles up like a mountain at home. burnt.

But wool, which is worthless in the eyes of herdsmen on the prairie, will be valuable if the students of the engineering school improve the loom and process it.

Buy wool from the grasslands. The price of wool is already cheap. You can buy a large cart for about ten yuan, or a large cart packed in sacks and pressed tightly.

For herdsmen, it doesn't matter if they have more money or less money. Anyway, if they can't sell it, they will be dealt with in a fire. If they can exchange some money, it is already a windfall.

"It's no problem." Qibi Heli said.

"It's just a small fight now. In the future, the demand for wool will definitely increase." Xuan Shijing laughed: "The demand for wool is more, and the herdsmen can make money. Things will get better."

"What Xuan Gong said is true." Qi Bi He Li said with a smile.

The need for more wool, the herdsmen see that there is money to be made, so they will raise more sheep. The more sheep there are, the more pastures they need. However, there are only so many fertile pastures in the grassland There is not only one tribe on the grassland.

In order to compete for the limited and fertile pastures, the conflicts between tribes will be endless. Once there is a conflict, Datang can mediate and reclassify the pastures.

Don't be afraid that they will be disobedient, because at that time, Datang's right to speak on the grassland will be like a certainty, and whoever dares to be disobedient will directly cut off their trade.

Why fight over pasture?Why raise sheep because you want to raise sheep?Because Datang needs wool, they need to make money, if they don't listen to Datang, then let the wool in their hands rot in their hands.

Because only Datang can have looms that can further process wool, and only Datang has workshops that own these looms.

If things go on like this, Datang will control the economic lifeline of the northern grasslands, which is more useful than setting up the Protectorate on the grasslands.

Ashina Simo on the side listened to Xuan Shijing and Qibi Heli talking about buying wool from herdsmen on the grassland, and felt a burst of envy in his heart. His people had already moved to the Great Wall, so naturally they would no longer regard grazing as an excuse. After giving birth, he also knows that any business that can make Xuan Shijing think about it is definitely a profitable business.

Ashina Simo was also moved, but now, he has no chance to mention this matter to Xuan Shijing, after all, he was the one who decided to abandon the grassland and move inland with his clan.

Thinking about it now, if they learn from the Han people to farm and make a living, are they still citizens of the grassland?Or a descendant of the wolf god?
Although the original decision brought peace to the people of the clan, looking at it now, is it right or wrong?
He grew up on horseback with one hand, and the descendants of the prairie wolf god who are born warriors with weapons have become what they are today, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, working hard to survive the day.

Neither Qibi Heli nor Ashina Simo found the huge crisis hidden behind the road given by Xuan Shijing for the herdsmen on the grassland. They are all people who grew up on the grassland. There are not so many tricks, and what Xuan Shijing made is unprecedented, and they can't judge whether it is good or bad, they can only look at the present, if it is good for their own people, then it is good, as for the next few years or It's been more than ten years, they can't see it.

I can't see the ending where the lifeblood of the grassland will be controlled by Datang.

When it really came to that point, if Datang wanted to make the grassland peaceful, the people on the grassland would have to keep their heads down and herd the sheep honestly. , then go ahead and beat them until your head is broken. Anyway, the ones who died were not Datang people. At that time, Datang only wanted wool. As for the division of your pastures, I don’t care.

Datang doesn't care, the tribes on the grassland still have to fight, speak with their strength, and use their strength to grab territory.

The army marched from Chang'an City to Anbei Dufu Mansion, because they were not in a hurry, so the marching speed on the road was not too fast, and it took about a month to walk.

Xuan Shijing came here with an edict, so once he entered the Anbei Protectorate's Mansion, he took over the entire Protectorate's Mansion. Originally, the governor here also wanted to make room for Xuan Shijing to help Xuan Shijing.
