The most powerful emperor grandson of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 383 The decree is here
Of course we have to deal with food matters. If we don't cut a piece of flesh from Lu Dongzan's body, then what is missing in Li Xiang's Tubo strategy?Not only was there a lack of money, but Tubo's economy also had to continue to collapse. All the money was used to buy food for Datang. How could they develop their own economy?
Therefore, both publicly and privately, Li Xiang must get this money. Li Xiang has also seen it these days. Maybe Lu Dongzan has other ways. If this is the case, then we have to give him some catalyst. That's it, let him know that we are not staying here forever. We have a lot of things going on in Datang, and we may leave here at any time. If you want to buy food, you have to hurry up.

After listening to Li Xiang's explanation, these people also understood what was going on. It turned out to be the same thing again. We have to let out some smoke to let the Tibetan people know that we are going back, so that they will be nervous. Then we will do it. The business is big when you return to Chang'an.

After a night of farce, the Tubo military camp was restless. Many people were very uncomfortable. However, Li Xiang's tent was heavily guarded outside. Except for the Prime Minister's people, Li Xiang's men were not joking. Hell, just looking at those shining steel knives, the weapons in their hands are no match.

In the past few days, many Tubo people have seen that kind of special steel knife. Some nobles also want to buy two. Of course, Li Xiang is not saying that he won't sell it. For [-] yuan a piece, as long as it is If you can afford it, we can sell it at any time.

In the Tang Dynasty, this price was only one-tenth of three thousand guan, but now that you have arrived in Tubo, I have to increase the price ten times. If you want to buy it, buy it, and if you don't want to buy it, you can buy it. , Li Xiang also got news from Xiaoliuzi that the Cui family would also transport such weapons to the plateau. The last transaction price was [-] yuan. We are much cheaper than the Cui family. If we can settle this account If you come, you will know how to choose.

Although Tubo is poor, there are many rich people in Tubo. Three thousand slaves worked for a year, and all the money was collected by the slave owners, so there are still many people who can spend tens of thousands of dollars. Li Xiang has been A dozen of them have been sold.

At that time, Chang Sun Chong almost had sex with Li Xiang. You don't know what our relationship is with Tubo. If you sell such a good thing to them, will we still have an advantage when we meet on the battlefield in the future?

Although the other generals did not say anything, they thought so in their hearts, but Li Xiang shut them up at that time, took out a knife that he wanted to sell, and then faced the knife in Changsun Chong's hand. After one chop, the knife that was going to be sold was destroyed in an instant.

Although this kind of knife is sharp, it is much inferior to those of the generals of the Tang Dynasty. However, if faced with ordinary knives of this era, it has a huge advantage, so Li Xiang has nothing to worry about. To be more precise, what he sold in Tubo was actually a batch of inferior products, which were incomparable with the high-quality products of General Datang.

But even these defective products are considered to be top-notch in the Tubo military camp. Many soldiers saw their generals practicing. The knives made by Tubo themselves were no match at all. I don’t know how many were broken in one night, so even if They wanted to give Li Xiang some color, but they were also very afraid of this kind of weapon.

In the early morning of the next day, more than a dozen war horses rushed out of the camp gate. These people were wearing Han costumes, but they were much more gorgeous than ordinary Han people. It was obvious that these people came from Chang'an, Kyoto.

These people must have come to see Li Xiang. After questioning, the guards at the door immediately let them in.

Songtsen Gampo and Ludongtsen immediately asked people to inquire. In less than a cup of tea, their people came over to report. The imperial edict came from Chang'an. It was said that there was a problem on the northern border, which seemed to be related to Goguryeo. Son, so let Li Xiang return to Chang'an quickly. "Hurry up and negotiate with him about food. No matter how high the price is, we must have food to tide over the difficulties. At the very least, we must ensure food for the army and nobles. If there is no food this winter, , you know the result better than I do, I think they have started to pack their bags now, and they may come to say goodbye soon."

Songtsan Gampo was the first one who couldn't sit still. If he was still staying in the Holy City, Lu Dongzan might think carefully about how this incident happened. It was such a coincidence that Lu Dongzan obviously wanted to wait for a while. Time, I didn’t expect the imperial edict to come from Chang’an. Are you all calculating it?

"Your Majesty, don't you think this matter is too strange? We obviously wanted to let him go for a while, but he soon had such an imperial edict. Is it such a coincidence?"

Lu Dongzan raised his hand. It is indeed not easy for him to maintain such rational thoughts. He can become the prime minister of Tubo. It really depends on his own talents. It's just the pigs next to him. Teammates are different.

"No matter what the matter is, he may leave Tubo. Now the initiative is in others' hands. We have no cards in our hands. We are about to spend the winter. If this batch of food is shipped, That will take nearly two months. During these two months, can you guarantee that there will be no riots? Once the news spreads that the granary is empty, do you know how many slaves will stand up and rebel? "

Songtsan Gampo said loudly, and the people around him also nodded. We should calculate when it is time to calculate, but now we can't do it.

If I don't have enough time, then we have many ways to tide over the difficulties, but now we don't have it. Including the time for Datang to transport food, these two days must be settled. Li Xiang will also need time after he returns. Mobilize food. If Datang and Goguryeo go to war, the price of food in Datang will also rise. By then...

Thinking of this, many people came forward, and they even volunteered to negotiate with Li Xiang.

"Get out of here, you're not that good. Just go ahead."

Originally, General Huyan was asked to go, but a bitch delayed the matter, so now Songtsen Gampo doesn't care about anything else and asked Lu Dongtsen to discuss the matter in person. If you don't go, , I’m afraid this matter won’t be discussed.
