Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

After Li Guangqin finished speaking, everyone's eyes were on the pair of "brothers and sisters".

Li Guangqin was also a little nervous. When she said this suggestion in public, she didn't discuss it with Lu Anya in advance. It was a "temporary idea".

For Li Guangqin, the Shang Ke Dun, the original Hulun Conference was beyond her control. If this time the King of Yue agreed, then the Hulun Conference would be held in Tingzhou every year in the future.

And Li Tan, as his natal family, will definitely benefit from it.

If Li Tan doesn't accept it, it's fine, it's a blow to the Uyghur nobles like the Three Great Yehus. If you can't manage the Hulun Conference well, then Li Guangqin can ask his natal family to come out and support him.

For Li Guangqin, this is a game that guarantees no loss.

At this time, no matter if it was the Uighurs, the Geluolu people, or the Tuqishi people and the Modong Zhuhu, they were all staring at the ruler of Longyou and the grassland, waiting for his answer.

In fact, when these tribes merged into Longyou, they also produced a centrifugal force.

The development of things always spirals, and so does the relationship between countries.

Even among the Ge Luolu people who were most loyal to the Tang Dynasty, there were voices against Longyou from within.

Even the Tuqi Shiren attached to them would resist Longyou sending officials to them.

And if the King of Yue intervened in the Uighur Hulun Conference this time, will he intervene in the grassland division of Tuqi Shiren next time?
Or to intervene in the mine distribution of the Ge Luolu people?

This kind of fear is rooted in the leaders of every foreign tribe, and they are all waiting for the answer from King Yue.

Li Tan looked at his sister in name, and Li Guangqin knelt on the ground, showing his straight back. This imperial sister is not simple.

The failure of the Hulun Conference was not entirely due to the selfishness of the three major Yehu.

The main reason is that the area controlled by the Uyghurs is decreasing, while the Uyghur population and herds are increasing, which is an inevitable contradiction in the development of any grassland nation.

If it weren't for the heavy snow last winter, which froze many livestock to death, the smell of gunpowder at the Hulun Conference would have been even stronger.

Even if such a contradiction is handed over to the King of Yue, it may not be able to resolve it better.

Hot potato.

Li Tan sighed with emotion, he also felt the eyes of all the tribes present, if this matter is not handled well, it may cause the ministries to worry about Longyou meddling in their internal affairs.

Controlling the grassland is not a one-day achievement. Some roads seem to be shortcuts, but in fact they are dead ends.

After understanding this truth, Li Tan said decisively:
"The Hulun Conference is an internal matter of the Uighurs, and this king has no intention of intervening."

After saying this, the atmosphere on the entire mound immediately eased a lot, and the leaders of other tribes, including the Uyghurs, breathed a sigh of relief.

King Yue's words expressed his attitude. Now that Longyou has no ambitions for the internal affairs of the tribes, King Yue is more willing to maintain the current state.

The Three Great Yehus were also overjoyed, King Yue was unwilling to interfere in the Uighur's internal affairs, so the Hulun Conference still had the final say on their Three Great Yehus, and they could occupy more pastures.

And the eyes of the three major Yehus looking at the young Uighur Khan also hide their ambitions. On the grasslands, the strong and the strong are always kings. Now the Luoge tribe can no longer maintain absolute force because of the loss of the army directly under the king's tent. Advantages, if they can control the Hulun Conference and develop for another two years, then the three major tribes can stabilize the position of grassland khan.

At that time, the big deal is to ask Datang to marry the Ningguo princess. Anyway, people on the grassland have no taboos, and it is normal for a younger brother to marry a sister-in-law.

But the happy atmosphere didn't last long, Li Tan continued: "But."

At this moment, the three major Ye Hus quickly sat upright, only to hear Li Tan say: "However, Mou Yu Khan is the son-in-law of Datang, and Shang Ke Dun is the younger sister of this king. How can the lonely king have the heart to see the Uighur people?" Starving and freezing."

The leaders of those small tribes who were already desperate raised their heads and looked at King Yue with tears in their eyes.

San San Yehu snorted coldly in his heart, Tang people are sometimes so hypocritical, there are only so many grasslands on the grassland, can King Yue allow these tribes to graze in Datang's territory?

Or is it to send food to these tribes? If the King of Yue is willing to be so "kind", then their three major Yehu will not object.

Li Guangqin was a little disappointed, his imperial brother was very restrained and did not swallow the delicious bait he threw out.

However, Li Guangqin quickly showed a bright smile, after all, this emperor brother is his greatest support.

Li Tan looked around the crowd, took everyone's expressions into his eyes, and said:
"In addition to grazing on the grasslands, trade can also keep people alive."

"The Hulun Conference is an internal matter of the Uyghurs, and it is inconvenient for me to intervene, but the trade between Datang and the Uyghurs can indeed be managed by my king."

This sentence is full of domineering, Ye Hu's complexion changed, but he couldn't refute it.

The trade between Uighur and Datang is not free trade. Datang has established trading stations in the main gathering points of Uighurs, and ordinary people of Uighurs cannot directly do business with Datang’s trading stations.

According to the secret agreement between Datang and Uighurs, merchants in Datang could only sell their goods to a few designated Uyghur traders, and only these special merchants could sell their goods to ordinary people in Uyghurs.

This system was originally intended for Longyou to win over Uyghurs and establish a business class in Uyghurs that was inclined to the Tang Dynasty.

However, when it was implemented, these franchised merchants gradually divided up the share of the Datang trade.

And many Uighur tribes started to live a good life by monopolizing the sales of Tang goods. Some tribes near the trading post, and even the whole tribe became merchants, and they didn't even release cattle and sheep.

And just as Li Tan said, how to divide the pastures is a matter within the Uighurs, but who to do business with is a matter for Datang.

Li Tan talked eloquently; "They are all grassland people, and small and medium-sized tribes also have room to live, so this king decided to delineate the share of each tribe's purchase of goods from Longyou according to the distribution of grasslands."

"To put it simply, the big tribes with more pastures will be allocated fewer licensed merchants, and the small tribes with less grasslands will be allocated a few more chartered merchants, so that they can survive by doing business on the grasslands."

After Li Tan finished talking about his plan, Da Sanyehu had a strange expression on his face.

Let them support it. The reduced franchised merchants belong to the three major tribes, which also reduces their share of imported goods from the Tang Dynasty.

But now people in the tribe can't live without Datang's products, and if their own tribe doesn't have enough, they have to buy shares from other tribes.

Doesn't this mean that you have to spend money to buy things yourself and let others earn a piece.

But with whom to do business and how much to sell, this is a matter of the Tang Dynasty, and this is not considered to be meddling in the internal affairs of the Uighurs.

Although San San Ye Hu was also dissatisfied, but he had no excuse to object.

At this time, Li Guangqin suddenly said: "However, small tribes have few people and are weak. What if their goods are robbed, or they are forced to buy goods at low prices, or their chartered merchants are not allowed to do business in other tribes?"

Li Tan glanced at Li Guangqin admiringly, but she didn't expect her to be so smart, and she thought of the joint of the problem.

However, Li Tan had already prepared for this. He said: "It is Datang's principle to insist on free trade. If someone wants to violate this principle, then don't blame us for being rude!"

"Selling Longyou's products is to serve Longyou. If anyone dares to coerce or hurt Datang's licensed merchants, it is an enemy of our Datang."

Li Tan said lightly, but in the ears of several Uighur tribal chiefs, it really weighed a thousand catties. This was a threat from the King of Yue, and the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty were not vegetarians.

Everyone in the Uighurs had no objections, and Li Tan directly followed the distribution draft of the Hulun Conference and began to distribute the business shares of the various tribes and Datang's franchise trade.

The Uighur royal family’s share of the Luo Ge tribe remained unchanged, but the large tribes that obtained more land in this pasture distribution, their share of the franchised merchants was reduced.

The share of licensed merchants allocated to the three major tribes has been greatly reduced. If they want to buy tea, oil lamps, and soap from Datang in the future, they must buy from other tribes as before.

But today, the common people on the grassland can not buy the exquisite handicrafts of Tang Dynasty, those gorgeous jewelry, and those warm, comfortable and colorful clothes.

But it is impossible for them not to buy tea, salt, matches and soap, which have become indispensable to their lives.

Not to mention that a large amount of grain and cotton and wool products are imported from Longyou every year. The grain in Longyou must be eaten, and cotton and wool products have become necessities to survive the cold winter.

The three major leaf guards squeezed their noses to admit it, and those small tribes that got more shares were rejoicing, they could get more trade shares, and they could survive through trading, maybe they could be better than the ones that had been grazing before .

However, King Yue’s practice of influencing the Uighurs through trade shares did not arouse the hostility of other grassland regimes.

Ge Luolu's trade was originally tied to the Longyou chariot, and the Tuqishi people were the window for the trade between Longyou and the Western Regions. Only the Modong Hus who had tasted the sweetness from the trade did not know the horror of the weapon trade place.

In this way, a Tang Hui trade agreement was signed in Tingzhou.

According to this agreement, at the Hulun Conference next year, the Uighur Propaganda Council will re-demarcate trade shares on behalf of Longyou and the Uighur tribes.

After talking about the trade, the highlight of the hunting conference came. A Buddhist and Taoist discussion event kicked off in Tingzhou.
