Datang first village

It is already the greatest etiquette.

The Huihe envoy was heartbroken, and this time he threw himself straight down, his head hit the stone slab on the ground with a thud, and the blood flowed out on the spot.

"Hurry up and save people!" Li Yuanxing was really shocked when he saw the blood coming out.

Several personal guards rushed in, and after inspecting it, they breathed a sigh of relief: "Report to the King of Qin, this is just fainted. There is a skin trauma on the head."

"Call a medical officer over to take a look!" Li Yuanxing said in his heart, you messenger is going crazy, why are you hitting the stone slab by yourself.

Lu Chengqing stood aside, he understood and wanted to understand.

The Huihe envoy really didn't have any more etiquette, so he could only rush straight down and knock himself out.

The wool on a sheep is worth a penny. For the Huihe who treat the wool as waste, or even the entire grassland, this is giving them money for nothing.If you want to use a metaphor, it is as if someone paid for the feces of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty.

The Huihe envoy really had no choice but to knock himself unconscious.

At least Lu Chengqing didn't know that there was no higher etiquette than prostration.

And what Lu Chengqing didn't know was that Chang'an's excrement was really about to be bought with money.

Obviously, it is impossible to continue talking today, Li Yuanxing waved his hand to send the Huihe envoy to rest.

After the Uighur envoy left, Li Yuanxing asked Lu Chengqing, "What's the price of tea cakes now?"

Lu Chengqing thought for a while and replied: "The tea bricks sold to the Turks are all inferior tea bricks. But the price is not cheap. The Huihe people's 50 sheep are 50 yuan, or [-] guan."

It was only five hundred guan, and Li Yuanxing was not even interested in asking how many tea bricks he had.

Five hundred guan is considered money, but it can also be considered. In the future, the purchase price of wool will be increased for the tribes in the grassland. The price of modern high-quality wool is already as high as hundreds of yuan per kilogram. This untreated wool, a The wool on sheep would cost more than two hundred yuan in modern times.

It’s only one penny here. According to the purchasing power of one penny in Tang Dynasty, it’s about the same as the modern calculation of four to five yuan. The price difference is [-] times, which means that there is a lot of room for the price of wool to increase in the future, so Ye Qiushuang’s calculation is two pennies per catty. , which is already a very low price.In modern times, it is eight yuan a catty of untreated wool.

"It seems that this palace needs some people who can write and calculate!" Li Yuanxing really doesn't like to settle accounts.

This little thing is too small.

Lu Chengqing agreed and withdrew. Those who could write and do calculations would have as many as the King of Qin needed.Not a problem at all.Now he needs to contact the people from the Security Department of the Tang Empire to get a better understanding of the current situation in Huihe, so that His Royal Highness King Qin can actually negotiate with the Huihe envoy tomorrow.

As for the gift list written on the parchment scroll.

His Royal Highness King Qin was not interested in watching it, and Lu Chengqing didn't care too much.Because he seems to have begun to understand His Highness King Qin, these substantial items are not placed in His Highness Qin's eyes at all.

His Royal Highness King Qin is interested in the interests of the grassland in the next five years.

Li Yuanxing touched the cigarette subconsciously again, man, when he was thinking, he wanted to have a cigarette.Li Yuanxing sighed in his heart, would he quit smoking in Datang?

Perhaps, there should be a tobacco industry in Datang.

50 pieces of wool are only worth [-] guan.It is understandable that the sudden shock made the Huihe envoy go crazy, but after calming down.It seems that at the moment, this wool can only be used as an appetizer, so a big meal should be added.

What should it be?

What's on the prairie?

Li Yuanxing pressed his forehead and thought, there should be another trade product that is beneficial to Datang on the grassland.

Even if it is impossible to benefit the Huihe people at the moment, let them have an expectation.

What's on the prairie?

Sheep, horses, cows, and grass!

Li Yuanxing was suddenly happy, milk, the most beneficial thing should be milk.It is unrealistic to raise cows now, and the breeding cows for dairy cows cannot be obtained by themselves, but goat milk is a good thing.But goat milk has a shelf life, how can it be transported to Chang'an, the quantity is too small just for trade in the frontier.

Li Yuanxing asked someone to bring the tea sea, and took out a pack of Tieguanyin himself.

While making tea, I was thinking about the fact that wool alone is not enough for the grassland, because the current value of wool is not enough to drive the entire grassland crazy.This is not Europe in the past, unless the price of wool reaches what they say is two pennies per catty, or at least one penny per catty, they will really go crazy.

But this requires wool to be truly industrialized.

Seeing Li Yuanxing thinking, the guards outside the door quietly closed the door, and patrolled the surroundings. No one within [-] steps was allowed to make noise.Anyone who dares to disturb His Highness King Qin will be punished by military law.If it is a person outside the army, then he is not qualified to approach at all.

At lunch time, the personal guard brought it in.

Li Yuanxing was still sitting there in a daze, and then Lu Chengqing came again, holding Chai Shao's battle report.Also did not enter the house, Shengzhou is just a small battle, it is not too late to report such a small matter.Besides, Li Jing, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, must have received the battle report, if there is anything that needs to be dealt with.

Naturally, Master Li Jing is in charge!

Lu Chengqing was wrong, and Li Jing didn't bother with the battle report, only the person who heard the report said that Shengzhou had already been won.Chai Shao is arranging defenses and arranging for the Turkic herdsmen to be transported to the pass.

The fact that Qin Qiong didn't report anything proves that everything is fine.

Li Jing went up to the city wall, not to see the Turks, but to see Zhao Yande.

The sergeant opened the gate of the city and sent the lunch over. Several sergeants didn't understand why this time it was leftovers.

"General, what do you mean?" A lieutenant asked beside Li Jing.

Li Jing stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhao Yande: "Look at it, look at it with your heart. If you understand it, you also have a chance to become a general in charge of the army. If you don't understand it, you are just brave men who lead the army to kill!"

Li Jing didn't explain, because he was also observing, and wanted to know whether what he saw was the same as what he predicted in his heart.

Zhao Yande saw the food delivery person coming, he didn't dare to run towards the city wall this time, and turned his head to look at the Turkic side cautiously, the people there seemed to be paying attention to this place as well.

Finally, the sergeant put down the food box.

Zhao Yande pounced on it like a hungry ghost, and stuffed it into his mouth with both hands. As for why it was leftovers, he no longer thought about it, because he was hungry, very hungry.And if you don't eat quickly, what will happen if those Turkic soldiers come to grab him, or what if Datang no longer gives him food at night!

Li Jing smiled on the city wall, Qin Wang Li Yuanxing was really clever.

After the soldiers of Datang retreated, before the city gate was closed, they saw Turkic soldiers rushing up like crazy.Pulling Zhao Yande away, he went to look through the food box, but Zhao Yande was still stuffing it in his mouth.

In the food box, the dishes and bowls are empty, only some vegetable juices are left on the bottom of the dishes.

"Fight!" Someone shouted, and dozens of Turkic soldiers beat Zhao Yande violently.

Seeing that Zhao Yande was about to be beaten to death, he heard the sound of horns in the Turkic army formation. After hearing that, the Turkic soldiers ignored Zhao Yande and ran back quickly.

Li Jing was watching with binoculars, and he could even see the running posture of the Turkic soldiers very clearly.

They were hungry and their strength was exhausted.

"Tonight and tomorrow morning, the Turkic people will start killing horses!" Li Jing said calmly, and then said: "However, what will happen to the Turkic people if there is no firewood, no fire, and no water. Eat horse meat!"

A lieutenant general said: "The place here is very small. Forty thousand troops kill horses. It is definitely not a small number. They kill horses. Horses are also flexible and intelligent. Other horses will be afraid. Once they kill horses, the cavalry will be killed." Wasted!"

Li Jing didn't answer the words, because all the generals with some status in Datang knew about them.

"Have you figured out the two food deliveries?" Li Jing asked, most of the mid-level generals shook their heads, only a few were really thinking about it.Li Jing smiled, didn't say anything else, turned around and went down the city.

At lunch time, the mutton roasted all morning is the most fragrant time, and the aroma of mutton drifts to Turkic.

The Turkic people will not have too much dry food, and without water, they are the enemy of the [-] army.The Turkic soldiers who were digging deep wells and trying to get water smelled the smell of mutton, and they all stopped their work.

The smell of the mutton stimulated the Turks, and also stimulated Zuo Xianwang.

"Kill, kill!" Some Turkic soldiers couldn't bear it, and it was only night after day, and they didn't know how long they would be surrounded. Some took the lead, and others followed.Their goal is not the deep trenches on both sides, but the defense line that Qin Qiong is in charge of. The deep trenches here have not yet been dug.

The sound of shouting and killing came again, and Qin Qiong, who was waiting in full force, didn't pay attention to this kind of desperate Turkic soldiers who had no formation, no organization, and just rushed. After a few charges, the soldiers of Datang only injured a few hundred people , none of them died.But the Turks dropped thousands of corpses.

"Surrender, we surrender!" Some Turkic soldiers threw away their scimitars.

Qin Qiong uttered a word coldly: "Kill!" After a burst of arrows, the Turkic soldiers who demanded to surrender died again.

The Turkic people retreated again, and the sergeants of the Tang Dynasty continued to rotate. Those who needed to rest rested, and those who needed to eat had to eat.

A deputy general asked Qin Qiong: "General, why didn't you accept the surrender?"

"His Royal Highness King Qin didn't say surrender, so he killed him!" Qin Qiong responded coldly.In Qin Qiong's mind, a sergeant who fights in battle doesn't have to think about what the commander thinks, as long as he kills with his heart, he is a good sergeant.

Turkic King Zuoxian looked at the corpses in that place, there were thousands of corpses, and his mind fell into the ice cellar.

Li Yuanxing's contemptuous cold snort was still in front of him, and it would surface every moment.

King Qin, this title is really not given casually, the King Qin of the Han people, there is no weak one!

The Turkic people had no food to eat, but the sergeants of the Tang Dynasty had roasted mutton as an extra meal, and even the slave barracks got it.
