Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

Chapter 138: Du Ruhui was shocked, the King of Chu is actually you!
Du Ruhui and others don't know this.

He quickly raised his hands and saluted, and then, led by those from the Great Yan Palace, they took their seats one after another.

seat.

Exactly three.

And there is food on it.

This also tells that Lord Dayan was only prepared to receive the three of them from the beginning.

Du Ruhui's eyes flashed.

Then he stood up and said loudly: "Thank you for your hospitality, His Majesty Dayan. This time, our envoy from the Tang Dynasty comes to bring our deep greetings from the Tang Dynasty, and it is also to consolidate the friendship between our two countries."

The voice fell.

Just listen to the substitute outside the screen, smile and say: "I have Raul waiting all the way."

"I have already made arrangements for you to be robbed when you arrived in Dayan. I believe there will be an outcome in the near future. Of course... it may not happen. I hope you don't blame me for poor hospitality in Dayan."

"After all, Great Yan is deep in the desert, and the situation in the desert is no more complicated than that of the Central Plains. Countries around it are also watching with eager eyes. Maybe the robbery was done by another country. Our country, Great Yan... is weak, and the land is barren and small. For There is nothing we can do about this.”

Weak national strength?

These words made Cheng Yaojin and the other two people widen their eyes. You dare to say it, don't you know your own country's national strength?
Still weak?
I'm afraid there aren't many countries in the world that can compare to your construction efforts in Dayan.

How weak is it?

So not ashamed! !
The country's small size is its only weakness.

This is also what makes Datang happy.

"Of course I won't blame Dayan. All of this is due to our lack of ability."

Du Ruhui smiled and spoke.

Later, under the words of the Lord of Dayan, he sat down and tasted the delicacies that only belong to Dayan.

These delicacies….
Just one taste and I thought it was delicious.

Talk while eating.

When he was in high spirits, the substitute suddenly said: "You envoys from the Tang Dynasty must have been traveling around our country for a long time. Are you satisfied with the technology of our country?"

Du Ruhui and others were stunned.

The three of you look at me and I look at you.

Subsequently,

Du Ruhui took a deep breath and said seriously and sincerely: "It's very impressive. Many of them are technologies that we, the Tang Dynasty, don't have. Your country... has only been established for a year, but it has so many incredible craftsmanship. It's really amazing."

These words are true.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, how could he believe that Dayan, with so many technologies, would only be established for one year.

It's really... too scary!

The substitute smiled and said: "Then things are much easier to handle. Envoys of the Tang Dynasty, do you want to buy things belonging to me, Great Yan? Such as... bicycles, books, or even..."

"Steel..."

boom!
As soon as this word comes out.

Du Ruhui, Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong all stood up suddenly.

His eyes were filled with astonishment.

When they came in, they were worried about how to mention this matter to the leader of Dayan Kingdom, but they didn't expect that the other party would mention it directly.

This….
What the hell is going on here! !
They were puzzled.

And this was done specially by Li Kuan.

He kept them watching Dayan for so long just to impress them with Dayan's skills and then...sell them!
Yes.

sell away!
Just like the o-state countries in later generations, why are workers and even people in those countries able to enjoy five days and eight hours of work, but the Chinese must work hard.

Because of them, they embarked on the road to industrialization early.

Then, through pioneers, we can develop the country and technology, and then we can make money by selling intellectual property rights to benefit the people in the country.

The country has just started and has nothing.

So it can only be replaced manually.

The current situation of Datang and Dayan is similar to this.

Da Yan did not have the ability to defeat the Tang Dynasty, and there were still surrounding countries to conquer, so he first gave Datang some benefits, such as bicycles, books, etc.

After selling.

Firstly, it can increase Dayan's national finances. Secondly... and the most important point is that as long as they don't sell technology or sell things, what will happen when Datang Xing becomes a habit and they suddenly disconnect?
You will find a huge earthquake! !
That is economic sanctions!
This can be seen everywhere in later countries.

Closer to China, for example, soybeans have always been subject to sanctions. Once they are disconnected, they will be stuck, as well as in fields such as chips and photolithography machines.

Farther away, and even more terrifying, there is a country over Feizhou that imports soybeans from the Stars and Stripes Country, and at first the soybeans were sold cheaper than that country's food.

That country, therefore, imported a large amount of soybeans from the Stars and Stripes Country, and then domestic cultivation was not valuable, and the original grain-growing plots were gradually abandoned.

National leaders are worrying about what to do. Stars and Stripes says they want to grow wool, and their country wants it.

The country did so.

When wool was grown across the country, Stars and Stripes paid a high price to buy it at first, but in the end they simply stopped buying it.

The country was dumbfounded.

At this time, it was too late for the transformation, which was why they were completely dependent on the Star-Spangled Kingdom for food. Without their food, people would starve to death that year.

From then on, they did not dare to oppose the Stars and Stripes Kingdom, and even did whatever the Stars and Stripes Kingdom asked them to do.

in this way.

The Star-Spangled Kingdom also did it, completely controlling a country without war.

Throughout the country-on-country confrontation.

War is always the last resort and the lowest resort.

Because war represents bloodshed.

And if Great Yan goes to war with Datang, even if it wins, it will be difficult for the two sides to reconcile, which will have an impact on the empire's future external expansion.

This is also traceable.

Then the Great Qin... Qin Shihuang spent ten years attacking and destroying the Six Kingdoms, and then lost his voice. This was because he needed to stabilize the country. This generation should be stable and the next generation should be appeased. Only in the next generation could he consider expansion and eliminate the enemies of the Six Kingdoms generation. As time resolves, we will consider overseas campaigns.

Each generation has its own clear mission.

If he, Li Kuan, also takes this path, then even after the Tang Dynasty is conquered, both sides of the war will still hate each other.

The two sides of this hatred need him to adjust and consolidate the country, which will hinder the pace of external expansion. In other words, his generation will not be able to achieve much external expansion.

And if he wants to accomplish everything in his generation, he must do it...conquer the enemy without fighting!
The Tang Dynasty was also the hometown of the Han people. When the Han people of the two countries fought, they only harmed their own troops. The best strategy was to subjugate the enemy's troops without fighting.

Based on.

Therefore, Li Kuan deliberately let Du Ruhui and others see and see how powerful Dayan was, so he wanted to become as powerful as Dayan. He used this to sell things instead of selling technology.

Once Datang gets used to it, he will get used to it.

And when it develops to a certain point, if you want to take action against Jiangdong or outside, just disconnect it.

Then he used his relationship with the aristocratic family to cause turmoil in the Tang Dynasty, which made the court unable to take care of itself, so it canceled foreign wars and other things.

Give him time to continue to increase his development.

Plus,
During this period, some people in the Tang Dynasty, who used the above-mentioned things, would yearn for the Great Yan and think about the past.

Just like future generations,
Rich people always run away, but poor people stay where they are and never run away.

And when Dayan relies on advanced technology and excellent national policies to absorb almost all the people that Datang should absorb, then... go south in one fell swoop!
By then!

Li Kuan believed that there would not be much resistance in many places.

People are selfish.

Yearning for a better life and yearning for a better life, without exception.

Dayan can bring them this, but Datang cannot. In addition, they are all Han people. Except for some people who have a deep affection for the hometown of Datang, what reason do others have to resist?
This was Li Kuan's overall strategy towards Datang.

Although he is the God of War in the Tang Dynasty, he is not just a "war" one.

I don't like to use the word "war" when dealing with the Han people in that area.

"Your Majesty Dayan, are you telling the truth?"

At this time, Du Ruhui couldn't help but ask questions.

The substitute smiled and said: "What the emperor said should be taken as his word..."

Du Ruhui took a breath: "This... let us discuss it." The substitute nodded: "Whatever."

soon.

Du Ruhui and the other three started a discussion.

This matter was brought up by the leader of Dayan Kingdom on his own initiative, and they instinctively thought that there was something fishy involved.

And Li Kuan is not worried that they will come up with his strategy. This is a conspiracy. If you don’t use such a good thing, don’t blame me. Since the Tang Dynasty is still suffering from internal and external troubles, you can’t attack me. Just watch my development quietly.

Once you use it, you will naturally become dependent on it.

Whether you agree or not.

In Great Yandu, you can advance and retreat freely.

"I feel something is wrong about this."

Du Ruhui narrowed his eyes slightly.

Cheng Yaojin said carelessly: "I, Cheng, also know that something is wrong, but Keming, you can tell me what is wrong!"

Du Ruhui smiled bitterly and said: "We don't know yet, we have to continue to see the attitude of the Lord of Great Yan."

Qin Qiong nodded: "Indeed, I also think that the current amount of information is too little and we need to continue talking."

The three of them made up their minds and then began to return to their original positions.

"Your Majesty Dayan, may I ask if your country can sell books in large quantities and have workshops to make books?"

"Books are OK, but workshops are not."

"...Well, bicycle, I think it can replace my Tang Dynasty's carriage. I would like to ask if you can sell bicycles and the technology on how to make them?"

“Bicycles are OK, technology is not.”

"...Then, I would like to ask if Cement Road can sell cement and technology? I, Datang, are willing to buy it at a big price!"

"Cement is fine, but technology is not."

"...then, I dare to ask..."

"......."

After some questioning, Du Ruhui finally understood Dayan's attitude.

You can sell individual items or even sell them in large quantities, but the technology is not good enough.

This allowed Du Ruhui, who was always involved in the economic revolution and was familiar with the rise and fall of history, to instantly understand the intentions of the Lord Dayan.

He is... asking Datang to rely on Great Yan!

The lack of technology means that Datang cannot imitate it and can only purchase it. If it is disconnected... the consequences in the future will be disastrous.

In the art of war,
There was a country in the Warring States Period that perished because of this.

Can't agree! !
Du Ruhui suddenly woke up.

Can….
What should I do if I can’t agree?
Similar to bicycles and cement, how can they crack the technology?
There are also books. Datang will be in need soon. Where can I get books besides Dayan?
Think so.

Neither does it matter if you buy it, nor does it matter if you don’t buy it.

Just as Li Kuan thought, this was a conspiracy.

Regardless of whether he agrees or not, Dayan will not suffer any loss.

On the contrary, they need to take care step by step to avoid buying too much and avoid buying too little, which will lead to dependence and dependence.

difficult!
Too hard too hard!

At the end of the conversation, Du Ruhui could only say that he wanted to buy something.

no way.

Dayan was too advanced, Datang was too backward, he wanted to progress too much!Lead your country to progress!
But to buy those things, there is a minimum amount to start with.

Otherwise Dayan would not sell it.

Du Ruhui nodded in agreement.

He plans to buy all of Dayan's prescribed starting amount, and cannot buy more to create dependence.

And this specific amount needs more consideration.

This is also where the civil servants of the Tang Dynasty mission are used. They need to make constant calculations after returning, and then contact the envoys from Great Yan to determine how much they want to buy.

"Then, I congratulate you that the cooperation between the Tang Dynasty and my country, the Great Yan, will last for a hundred years!"

Inside the screen, the substitute is holding a wine glass.

Du Ruhuicheng bit Jin Qinqiong and the other three, quickly raised his wine glass and stood up.

Both parties toasted to each other in the distance and drank it all in one gulp.

This also reflects the official launch of cooperation between the two countries.

"I wish Datang and your country a win-win cooperation!"

Du Ruhui held up his hand and couldn't help but said: "It's just that Lord Dayan, I have an unkind request. I wonder if you will agree."

"But it doesn't matter."

Du Ruhui thought for a while, took a step forward, and said, "I wonder if the three of us will have the opportunity to see your majestic appearance!"

This was something he had been curious about for a long time.

He wants to see.

What does Yang Kuan, the leader of the Great Yan Kingdom, look like, who was able to support the weak Yang family and create such a magical empire.

Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong on the side also watched with hidden expectation.

On the screen, the substitute was slightly embarrassed: "Dear envoys of the Tang Dynasty, please forgive me for refusing."

"Now is not the right time. Maybe there will be an opportunity in the future."

Du Ruhui and the others couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when they heard this.

Sure enough...still didn't see it?
"Your Majesty Dayan, this is too rude of me."

Du Ruhui smiled helplessly.

After saying a few compliments, Du Ruhui and the others were ready to leave.

but….
The substitute spoke up: "There are still some things that I need to discuss with Messenger Du. Can you two step aside first?"

The voice was full of majesty and politeness.

Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin frowned slightly, and Cheng Yaojin said, "Keming, what do you think?"

He felt that it was too dangerous to be here alone.

should be rejected.

Du Ruhui smiled and said, "General Cheng, you go first."

"you sure?"

"Well, if I don't go out within half an hour, it means... this place is dangerous."

"Keming, you..."

"Let's go, let's all go."

Du Ruhui urged them.

Both Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong saw the determination on his face. Cheng Yaojin sighed and said, "Okay, then, remember to be careful."

The two retreated.

Seeing that they had disappeared, Du Ruhui turned around and said, "I wonder what your Majesty, Dayan, does to keep me here?"

The voice fell.

I just heard a different sound coming from the screen than before.

His voice was more majestic, and he also had an arrogance that that person didn't have, as well as a bit of youthfulness.

"Is it important? Hahaha, that's not the case."

"Now that the country-to-country matters have been discussed, the next step is the family-to-family matters."

The voice came slowly.

The more he listened, the more Du Ruhui's eyes widened.

In his mind, the man's face appeared involuntarily.

His face was full of disbelief!
And as the screen was removed, revealing the person who shouldn't be there, Du Ruhui's eyes widened on the spot, and his brain went into panic.
