My servant in the Tang Dynasty is Li Shimin

Chapter 196 Use barley to completely tie up Tubo!
The answer came out?
Have it?

Li Shimin was stunned, completely confused by Wang Yuan's words.

Highland barley?

food?

Aren't these two the same thing?What else could it matter?
Why did Wang Yuan say that the answer came directly?
"Old Gao, do you know what Prince Wang is talking about?"

He looked at Li Jing and asked in a low voice, wondering if there was something wrong with his mind.

But the latter also shook his head blankly.

If this can be guessed, then there is a ghost!

Li Jing murmured inwardly, and began to suspect that Wang Yuan was lying to them.

"actually."

Wang Yuan was helpless and was about to speak when he was suddenly interrupted.

"Yeah! Xiao Le'er knows what Young Master Wang is thinking!"

The girl Pianzi raised her little hand high, interrupted Wang Yuan's words, met the three people's bewildered eyes, and said softly:
"Young Master Wang is actually pretending to be a bastard!"

"He knows you can't tell, so he's deliberately keeping it secret. He wants to shock you guys again!"

"My lord, am I right?"

"Correct!"

"Exactly!"

Wang Yuan nodded with a dark face, then picked up the girl with one hand, stood up, and left the hall to take her back to the house himself.

Anyway, this girl is already full, so she should be let to sleep!

Come on!
He shouldn't take it lightly!

"You are tyranny! Tyranny!"

"Yeah, your biological daughter is being brutally oppressed by a big dog!"

"The method is vicious and inhumane!"

"Woooooo~"

The little girl shouted, wanting to resist and get rid of the iron hand of a big dog, but unfortunately it was doomed to be in vain.

The little feet kicked, but they couldn't touch a big dog, so it was useless.

Li Shimin was speechless for a while, and hurried forward, chattering for a while, but he saved Xiao Le'er.

After all, no matter what, this is also her own daughter, so she can't let the big dog bully her like this.

And with her here, it is estimated that the big dog will not easily divert the topic.

And the next development was indeed as Li Shimin expected.

Under the gaze of the little girl's pouting lips, although Wang Yuan was a little dissatisfied, the topic did not get off topic again.

"This is a very simple truth. Do you still remember how I suggested Li Er to rule the East Turks?"

"Wool trade, the establishment of Protestantism and the establishment of Beiting Protectorate."

Li Shimin immediately replied that these policies were issued by him personally, and each of them was very clear.

Of course, the most important thing is that the effect of doing so is indeed immediate.

"That's right!"

Wang Yuan nodded:

"Since you still remember Lao Li, don't you draw inferences from one instance?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin's mouth twitched and he rolled his eyes wildly.

If I know how to infer other things from one instance, do I still need to watch you pretend now?
"Aqian~"

Xiao Leer yawned, with a look of disgust on her little face:

"My lord, you better stop pretending."

"If you keep pretending, if the heifers in Lantian County are going to fly, the reason behind it will definitely be heart-warming."

Wang Yuan: "."

He felt his heart hurt so much!

Mom!
It's really better to raise a piece of barbecued pork than to raise this girl!

Nothing but pissing people off!

Li Shimin and Li Jing couldn't help laughing long ago.

It seems that to cure this pretentious monster, we still have to rely on the little girl.

"All right!"

Wang Yuan had a headache, so he could only quickly get back to the point:
"Actually, it's really simple. Since wool was used to govern East Turkistan, of course 'wool' is used to govern Tubo now!"

He was really afraid of this girl.

"Also 'wool.'"

This time, without waiting for Wang Yuan to continue, Li Shimin also reacted, with a shocked expression on his face:
"My lord, do you mean to use highland barley instead of wool?"

"That's right! So we only need to make a fuss about the highland barley."

"But this highland barley is just what the Tibetans know how to eat."

"In the past, we Central Plains people didn't eat this thing, let alone now that we have sweet potatoes and genetic rice, who would be willing to eat it? What's the point of this?"

Li Jing frowned and asked questions continuously.

Of course he knew about the wool trade.

After all, in order to prevent him from revealing his secrets, Li Shimin specially told all the things Wang Yuan did.

But the more this happened, the more he didn't understand.

"That's right! As the young master said, the food in the world will be completely depleted in a short time."

"Don't we in the Tang Dynasty still need those highland barley?"

Li Shimin was also confused. Although he had realized a little bit just now, he still hadn't grasped the real importance.

Wool can keep warm, but what can barley do?
Do you feed the cows?
And Wang Yuan said before that the food will be completely flooded in a short time.

"Ha ha!"

Wang Yuan laughed and raised his eyelids on purpose.

"You don't know about this. It is true that highland barley is used as food, and only people in snow-covered plateaus eat it."

"But what does that matter?"

"You must know that besides being used as food, highland barley also has another crucial use, and that is—to make wine!"

"Wine?"

The two were startled, and the corner of Xiao Le'er's mouth flowed out, and she sucked it back with a whoosh.

"That's right!"

"Although highland barley is not very tasty, it is a very good material for wine making."

Wang Yuan raised a finger and tapped it on the dining table.

"If I, Datang, are willing to exchange grain with the Tubo people for highland barley wine, and then sell the highland barley wine to the customs."

"If things go on like this, an economic kidnapping similar to the wool trade can be formed!"

"You can think about it, as long as everyone in Tubo brews wine, all their food will have to be supplied by the Tang Dynasty!"

"Once we run out of food in Datang, they will definitely collapse!"

"Do you think they would dare to rebel in this situation?"

"We can even lower the price slowly in the future and completely control the cost. We only need to give some sweetness at the beginning."

As Wang Yuan said, his face showed full confidence, and there was even an inexplicable evil!

That is the evil of capitalism!
In fact, in his eyes, controlling Tubo is far easier than controlling East Turks!
After all, the Eastern Turks still retain a lot of vitality, and they cannot be ruthless all at once, they can only assimilate slowly, and cut their flesh slowly, otherwise the situation will easily get out of control.

But Tubo is different. Almost all the vitality is wiped out. Although there are frequent rebellions, they can't cause any climate, it's just too troublesome.

If Eastern Turkic was a tiger without teeth and claws, then there was only a corpse left in Tubo.

Although the corpse stinks, if you really say there is any threat, it is not at all.

A dead tiger, even an ant, can stand on it and show off its might!
As long as you compete for the market with a small profit in the early stage, after a few years, you can start to harvest on a large scale!
This is the common method of capitalism more than 1000 years later!
"It shouldn't be!"

"It's that simple?"

The two still couldn't accept it.

It's ridiculous to ask everyone in Tubo to make wine!
"Even if some people will make wine out of profit in the first year, some people will still eat highland barley!"

"Even if the trade is cut off later, the Tibetans will still be able to return to their original lives."

The Turkic people lived in the grasslands, and raising sheep was a living habit, not to mention being guided by Protestantism and supervised by the Beiting Protectorate, it was normal to sell wool in exchange for daily necessities and food.

But what reason do the Tibetans have to use highland barley to make wine?

Faced with this doubt, Wang Yuan only gave a two-word answer: "Benefits!"

"But it's a benefit." Li Jing still refused to accept it.

"One stone of highland barley wine and ten stones of grain!"

"This is too"

"Twenty stones!"

"I"

"Thirty stone!"

"."

"Old Gao, do you have anything else to say?"

Wang Yuan looked at Li Jing, who was speechless at Yakou, with a half-smile, and shook his head very quietly:
"You businessmen, your ideas are still too low-end."

"A real businessman must have a dark heart!"

Immediately, without waiting for the two to continue asking questions, Wang Yuan continued to say:

"As long as the interests are high enough, people can trample on all reason!"

"Just like you did before, Lao Li, even if you are a family, you dare to provoke him!"

"Not to mention, no matter how much you invest this time, the gains will be far greater than the output."

"You must know that even the Eastern Turks, if our Tang Dynasty does not collect wool, they can still eat mutton, and they will not starve to death."

"But Tubo can't, because wine making is a long-term process."

"As long as there is a riot in Tubo, as long as my Tang Dynasty stops buying highland barley wine, they will not even be able to afford food!"

"You must know that they have been short of food for many years, and under the temptation of heavy profits, it is even more impossible for them to store food!"

"And in the near future, the most resource in my Datang will be food."

"Think about it, using a resource that our Tang Dynasty is about to flood, but completely controlling the entire Tubo!"

"This kind of business, how could it be possible to lose money!"

"Not to mention the high quality barley wine, even if it is rubbish, as long as the imperial court is willing to bear the loss, then within three years, the land of Tubo will be completely included in my Datang territory!"

Hearing this, Li Jing and Li Shimin were suddenly enlightened!
This strategy is really amazing!

Li Jing held his forehead, trying to find out the problem, but unfortunately found that even though he thought over and over again, he couldn't find any faults.

Although he is just a military general, he may be promoted all the way in the court, so he is not a stupid person.

It can even be said that his political sense is not weaker than those old foxes like Fang Xuanling.

This is a simple method, but it hits the nail on the head!
If we say, before that, he still had a slight dissatisfaction with Wang Yuan.

He thinks this young man is a deceitful person.

So now, Li Jing is [-]% convinced!

Whether it's the scheme or the miraculous cannon in his hand, this prince is peerless!

It wasn't until this moment that he finally understood.

Why, with His Majesty's body of ten thousand gold, is willing to bow down to be the servant of the prince.

Why would Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, these old foxes respect him so much.

There are such gods and men in the Tang Dynasty, why not be prosperous!

　The second is more likely to be later tonight.
