The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

Chapter 386 Marriage Group
Everyone's caution was already expected by Chen Jingke.

Still the same sentence, Fengguo is a new thing for everyone, everyone is in the groping stage, so naturally we can't make a decision lightly.

In particular, the plan proposed by Chen Jingke was unprecedented, and they naturally had to consider it carefully.

If it wasn't for the crown prince's guarantee, they wouldn't even think about it, so they just refused.

But he was sure they would all agree in the end.

The reason is also because everyone doesn't know much about the closure of the country, and it's hard to come across a construction plan that looks decent. As long as they are not particularly conservative, they will selectively try it.

What's more, Zixiao Temple has always had a very good reputation.

Another reason is that Chen Jingke has a trump card: "Oh, yes. If the lords of the country agree to this plan, my teaching will provide you with [-] excellent doctors."

"These doctors will spend five years training no less than two hundred qualified doctors for your closed country."

Hearing this proposal, except for Li Yin, the other four people were all moved.

Physicians are always scarce talents, or necessary talents.In particular, there are very few excellent physicians.

They can be recruited, but how many doctors who can make a name for themselves in Datang are willing to go overseas?

Most of the doctors who can't get along in the Tang Dynasty are not very good at medicine. What's the use of getting them in the princes?It is not realistic to expect them to cure diseases and save lives.

Twenty physicians provided by Taoism may seem small, but it was not easy for the princes and kings who had nothing at the beginning of Jianjian.

With these twenty doctors here, at least the princes and kings themselves don't have to worry about dying suddenly from a sudden illness.

The officials of the vassal states can find a place to heal them when they are sick.

What's more, they also promised to train [-] qualified doctors in five years.

The newly established vassal state has a small population, and two hundred doctors are enough to cover most of the country, and the rest need to be cultivated slowly.

No one doubts whether there are so many doctors in the hands of Taoism. Just look up how many famous medical books in ancient times were written by Taoists.

What's more, it is obvious to all that Zixiao Temple's medical skills are so high. If these doctors came from Zixiao Temple...

Thinking of this, Li Yuanli immediately asked: "These twenty doctors are from Zixiao Temple?"

Others also looked over.

Chen Jingke was speechless, and said: "How is it possible, how many people are there in Zixiao Temple?"

"Besides, Zixiao Temple has only been established for more than three years, and the newly trained doctors have not yet graduated, so we can't help it even if we want to."

"However, we can provide you with medical books and teaching materials for training doctors. What do you think?"

Everyone was very disappointed, but it would be nice to have Zixiao Temple's medical skills and teaching materials.

Li Yuanli said again: "Then can we wait for the first batch of doctors from Zixiao Temple to leave and send some people to my Fengguo to teach medical skills? It won't take long, one or two years will be enough."

Naturally, Chen Jingke would not refuse this kind of pragmatic proposal, and said: "Yes, the first batch of doctors will be able to graduate in at most three years. At that time, we can send some people to your feudal country to exchange medical skills."

"If you have the ability, you can use your own methods to persuade them to stay... but the premise is that you can't use coercion."

Hearing this, Li Yuanli and Li Xiaocha immediately agreed to the agreement.

Leping Hou Xi Hongda rolled his eyes and agreed.Although his ability is average, he still has the ability to read words and emotions.

The prince personally acted as a guarantor, and King Xu Kang and Duke Gao Mi both agreed. Obviously, the advantages of this matter outweigh the disadvantages.

The key is that their family background is weak, and they are simply unable to run a feudal country. It is a good way to introduce Taoism into the market.

Now there are only Shu Wang Li Yin and Xun Guogong Yin Yuan. The former is ignorant and ready to go home and ask Li Ke.The latter is because the family has a big business and many things, but they can't make decisions by themselves, so they have to go back and discuss with their family members.

The matter was about the same, Yin Yuan and Li Yin resigned and left very tactfully.

Li Yuanli, Li Xiaocha and Xi Hongda stayed behind to further discuss specific cooperation plans.

At this time, Chen Jingke stepped aside and asked Wu Shu to negotiate with them.

There is nothing to say about the personnel. Taoism directly sends evangelists into their fiefs and goes deep into the indigenous people to preach.

The focus is on loans and purchasing supplies.

No one knows exactly how much the loan will be enough, especially for material purchases. Even Taoism itself has not calculated it.

But they came prepared. I really don't know how much money will be needed to build the feudal country, but we can reverse it.

How many agricultural tools, seeds, and rations are needed to resettle a family can be calculated.

How many households are there in your fief? Just take a few times and you will know.

Non-essential materials, such as how many cattle and other livestock are needed, how many medicinal materials are needed, and whether a palace needs to be built, etc.

These are easier to say, do what you can.

Then look at the purchase price of these materials in Datang, and a comprehensive calculation can give a more reliable valuation.

Seeing Wu Shu come up with such detailed data, Li Yuanli and others are more confident about future cooperation.

But they also have their own calculations, it is impossible to borrow all the money from Taoism.

Although the loan interest provided by Taoism is relatively low, no matter how low the interest is, it is still interest.

It's better to stick to your own funds first, and then borrow from Taoism when your own funds are not enough.

Moreover, both Li Yuanli and Li Xiaocha have big families and businesses, and they can contribute part of the funds themselves, so they are not so dependent on Taoism's funds.

What they need more is Taoist talents.

Wu Shu naturally thought of this a long time ago, and took out second-hand preparations: "Our Taoism is the most important contract. What price do you buy from my Taoism today? As long as the contract is signed, it will not be changed."

"If the price of materials decreases in the future, you will have to spend more money. If the price of materials increases in the future, no matter how much the increase is, we will honor the price marked in the contract."

Hearing this, Li Yuanli and Li Xiaocha hadn't reacted yet, Xi Hongda became excited all of a sudden, and said, "Ms. Wu is serious?"

Wu Shu said: "The contract in black and white, if we don't abide by the contract, we can sue us at the imperial court."

"The reputation of my Taoism cannot be measured by mere money. We will not destroy the Great Wall for a little money."

Xi Hongda no longer had any doubts, and said: "Okay, I signed it. Please ask Mrs. Wu to help me calculate how much money and materials I need to seal the country, and then add [-]% of the loan to purchase materials."

Wu Shu said approvingly: "In the future, Xihou will be happy with today's decision."

Xi Hongda laughed and said, "You don't have to wait for the future, I'm already happy now, haha..."

He had been working as a county magistrate in the local area before. Although he was not a senior official, he was the head of the local administration. He had to worry about everything, and he was more sensitive to changes in prices.

When the imperial court entrusts the vassal states, there will be a large gap in various basic materials, and future price rises are inevitable.

Sign a purchase agreement with Taoism now, so you don't have to worry about spending more money in the future.

The purpose of overflow data loan is to store more supplies and use them best, even if you don’t need them, you can sell them to others at a high price.

Another point is that his family is poor and can't spend much money to build a feudal country.There is not much room for choice, so it is better to simply establish a good relationship with Taoism.

As for over-reliance on Taoism, there is no need to worry about whether it will be controlled by others in the future.

The first five vassal states were models created by the imperial court, and it was impossible to allow this to happen.

He calculated very clearly.

Li Yuanli and Li Xiaocha were not fools either, so they quickly figured out this truth.

But they still hesitated, they didn't want to borrow so much money from Taoism, but also wanted to sign this guarantee contract.

After hesitating for a while, Li Xiaocha asked, "If you don't borrow money from Taoism, can you purchase supplies from us?"

Chen Jingke and the others had already considered this issue, and Wu Shu immediately said: "Yes, but you need to pay [-]% of the purchase price in advance."

After Li Yuanli and Li Xiaocha thought about it for a while, they finally made a decision.

Borrow one-third of the money from Taoism, and then pay a part of the money to purchase materials. The total amount of materials is two-thirds purchased from Taoism.

The remaining one-third they plan to purchase by themselves. After all, the family is big and the business is big, and there are many businessmen who depend on them, so they must give those people something sweet.

So they drew up the contract on the spot, both parties signed and pledged, and Li Chengqian became the guarantor.

After that, Li Yuanli and the other three also took their leave one after another.

Wu Shu looked and looked at the three contracts, not to mention how happy he was.

Li Chengqian finally asked his own question, saying: "Once the vassal state is established, the prices of various materials will inevitably increase. Why do you sign such a contract when you know this?"

Chen Jingke explained: "We use the payment they paid in advance to establish a complete procurement channel, build a factory workshop, and improve the production process..."

"When our factory is completed and we can mass-produce various commodities, we will almost be able to catch up with the second batch and the third batch of closed country construction... We will be able to earn their money by then."

After a little thought, Li Chengqian understood the reason, and couldn't help praising: "It's such an empty-handed white wolf, brilliant."

After a meal in the East Palace, Chen Jingke and his wife returned to Zixiao Temple.

Let's say that Li Yin left the meeting and went straight to find Li Ke.

Li Ke said worriedly, "Isn't it impolite in the East Palace?"

Li Yin said impatiently: "I'm not stupid, how could I offend the prince... come and help me look at this thing."

Li Ke took the proposal with some doubts, and asked, "What is this?"

Li Yin found a chair and sat down, casually said: "That Chen Zhenren in Zixiaoguan... he really has a big face, the crown prince personally guarantors him."

Knowing the cause and effect, Li Ke opened the plan and read it, and said after a long time, "What do you think?"

Li Yin spread his hands and said, "I don't have any ideas, I can do whatever you want."

Li Ke knew his younger brother's nature for a long time, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "We are not short of money or manpower, but we are short of allies."

"Zixiao Temple's status is detached, Taoism is strong, and building a good relationship with them can help us avoid many troubles."

"In particular, Taoism has a very strong ability to gather people's hearts. It can help you domesticate the local people faster. I thought we could cooperate."

Their mother was the princess of the former dynasty, which meant that standing behind them was the survivor of the former dynasty, that is, the Hongnong Yang family.

After Li Tang founded the country, he did not slaughter the Yang family, not because of their broad-mindedness, but because of the established rules.

The Yuwen family destroyed the Northern Qi Dynasty and established the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but did not kill the Gao family.Yang Jian did not slaughter the Yuwen family when he destroyed the Northern Zhou Dynasty and established the Sui Dynasty. After Li Tang was established, he would not destroy the Yang family either.

There has always been a tacit understanding between the nobles of Guanlong, which is one of the reasons why no matter how the regime has been ups and downs since the Western Wei Dynasty, the transition of power can only be completed by the military nobles of Guanlong.

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was in a daze, and he actually attacked the Li Xin family, who were also nobles in Guanlong, that is, Li Mi's family.

The rest of Guan Longxun's lips were dead and his teeth were cold. At the critical moment, they all chose to betray and reshuffled the cards.

Of course, the above are just one reason, and the demise of the Sui Dynasty was the result of many aspects combined.

In short, Yang Guang went all the way on the road to death, which eventually led to his death and the country's destruction.

Everyone only knows that the five surnames and seven Wangs are married to each other to raise their own prestige.

What they don't know is that in the early and mid-Tang Dynasty, the marriage of the four surnames "Li Wu, Wei Yang" also formed a huge in-law group.

Among them, Li is the Li family of the royal family.

Wu is Wu Zetian's Wu, so I won't go into too much detail on this.

Wei is Jingzhao Webster, Li Shimin's concubine Wei and sisters, Tang Zhongzong Li Xian's Empress Wei, Tang Muzong Li Heng's Empress Wei, all come from this family.

Yang is the Hongnong Yang family, and Yang Yuhuan, Yang Guozhong, and Yang Wanli are all from this family.

It is generally believed that Wu Zetian used the power of the Shandong gentry to destroy the nobles of Guan Long headed by Changsun Wuji, and Guan Long withdrew from the stage of history.

In fact, Guan Long did not perish, but transformed into a marriage group headed by 'Li Wu Wei Yang'.

This in-law group dominated the first hundred years of the Tang Dynasty, and gradually withdrew from the stage of history in the middle and late stages.

Then it officially entered the era of five surnames and seven kings, and then encountered the two terminators Huang Chao and Zhu Wen, and Chinese history entered another period.

Now is the early Tang Dynasty, Hongnong Yang's strength is very strong, Li Ke and Li Yin brothers can rely on Yang's strength.

Li Chengqian rebelled in the previous life, and Li Shimin considered making Li Ke the prince not only because of his talent.It is also because he can get the support of the Hongnong Yang family, stabilize the court and secure the throne.

If it were another prince, not to mention ability issues, how to get the support of Guan Long's nobles would be a big problem.

Blood relationship and in-laws can naturally solve this problem.

Just like now, when Li Yin gets the feudal state, the Hongnong Yang family will definitely send people and things to help him build the feudal state, and then put a few women from the Yang family into his palace.

What?You say consanguineous marriage?

This is called kissing and kissing to ensure Yang's status.

But Li Ke still chose to cooperate with Taoism. Firstly, there were multiple allies and multiple paths, and secondly, he was afraid that the Yang family would be too powerful to overtake Li Yin.

Three times, the ability of Taoism to gather people's hearts is obvious to all. The peace and tranquility in the south and southwest in recent years is directly related to the southward movement of Taoism.

The vassal states also need a powerful religion to help appease the people and assist the government to manage the place.

No matter from which aspect, it is very appropriate to guide Taoism to the past.

As for why not cite Buddhism... As a descendant of the Li family, if he dared to cite Buddhism to reject Taoism, he would be hanged and smoked.

Seeing that his elder brother said so, Li Yin naturally would not have any objections, so he also finalized the cooperation plan with Taoism.

How to cooperate specifically needs to be further negotiated.

On the other hand, after Yin Yuan went back, he called back everyone who had the right to speak in the family. After some discussion, everyone also chose to cooperate with Taoism.

First of all, the strength of the Yin family is far inferior to that of the Hongnong Yang family. They do not have the ability to build a feudal state, so they must introduce foreign aid.

So as long as you believe in Taoism, which does not interfere with the political power, it is undoubtedly a very suitable partner for cooperation.

Secondly, Taoism does have the resources they need, such as medical resources.It is an exaggeration to say that there is no medical resource in the hands of any force in the world that can surpass that of Taoism.

The royal family does have huge medical resources, but the quality is far inferior to that of Taoism.

All in all, the advantages of cooperating with Taoism outweigh the disadvantages.

So Li Yin and Yin Yuan quickly reached an agreement with Zixiaoguan and signed an aid contract.

So far, the first batch of five vassal states have all been taken down, and Wu Shu has entered into a busy state.

But at this moment, Chen Jingke once again called the representatives of the various factions together for a meeting.

The content of this conference is very simple and very important, that is, how to build a more modern factory.
