Mohist Tang

“I’ve let you wait for a long time!”

In Honglu Temple, Mo Dun laughed loudly and entered the Emissary station of the nations.

It turned out to be Marquis of Mo! I heard that Marquis of Mo was great generosity at Xi Market yesterday! Pulling a cart full of silk waiting for silk to buy at Xi Market, the businessmen in Xi Market are simply crazy. I’ve heard about it even in Honglu Temple.” Tongtsen Yulsung saw Mo Dun coming in, with a warm smile on his face, and stood up to meet him.

“Lu Da talked about shame on the youngster. I didn’t expect that the evil nickname of the youngster’s prodigal would reach the ears of all Emissary.” Mo Dun’s mouth was ashamed, but a hint of pride appeared on his face. , A proper wasterl face.

Many Emissary felt coldly snorted at once, and felt a pain in their hearts. A cart full of high-quality silks is of great value in the Western Regions, but in Great Tang it was spent half a day by Mo Dun. How can the difference not make everyone jealous.

“As expected of Marquis of Mo who wrote Spin a thousand of pieces of silver, all of them come back! Xiao Wang admires it!” Qu Zhisheng suppressed the jealousy in his heart, flattering, even if it was him As a Prince of a country, he can’t be as prodigal as Mo Dun.

Suddenly, the other Emissary was like a flattery without money, and Mo Dun one after another was able to deal with everyone with ease.

When Tongtsen Yulsung saw this, he quickly opened the topic and said: “I heard that Marquis of Mo needs a batch of Tibet sorghum. The envoy has already rushed back to send a letter. I want to come to Great Tang soon. I hope Marquis of Mo will do. Dont forget to accept it.”

“Many thanks Lu Dalun, Mohist Village may need more Tibet sorghum in the future. When the time comes, please let Lu Dalun help.” Mo Dun haha said. with a smile.

Tongtsen Yulsung’s heart is coldly snorted. Now Tibet has acquired the secrets of winemaking. If Mohist Village wants to get Tibet sorghum, I am afraid that it is impossible to pay a price.

“It’s easy to say, it’s wrapped in the lower body.” Tongtsen Yulsung said very righteously, and suddenly a look of embarrassment appeared on his face: “The envoy wants to ask Marquis of Mo for help, Tibet and Great Tang. I have been acquainted with each other repeatedly, but Heavenly Khan has never responded. Now I am about to return to China. I wonder if Marquis of Mo can help to make this happen. I will guarantee that Mohist Village’s products will be available in Tibet. “

Tongtsen Yulsung saw that the road to family relationship has been cut off, and now only the trading company can obtain Great Tang’s technology. This is the impatient who wants to promote this, and he learns that Mohist Village is in trouble. , And then found Mo Dun.

As soon as Tongtsen Yulsungs voice fell, the other Emissary suddenly fell silent. It was almost a common goal of all countries to do business with Great Tang. After all, the items produced by Great Tang are beautiful and unusual. The goods are extremely sought after. As long as the goods are produced from Great Tang, once they are sold, they can make a lot of profits, especially silk, which is even more profitable.

Spurred by huge profits, Western Regions have frequently submitted letters to request mutual markets. However, Great Tang seems to have not responded to this. In addition, Tuyuhuns repeated disturbances, harassment and control of the Silk Road, Western Regions Countries are extremely hungry for Great Tang’s goods.

Mo Dun haha said with a smile: “I am about to tell you the good news next. Your Majesty has decided to reopen the city of Zhiguan at the border of various countries, so that Great Tang and Zhu The country can communicate with each other.”

“very good!” All the Emissary were excited, and all of them were overjoyed. As long as they can reach the mutual market, this time they will send Great Tang to Great Tang.

“I don’t know if silk is in the exchange of existence or not!” Qu Zhisheng cautiously probed, after all, the most important purpose of their exchange is for silk.

Mo Dun solemnly nodded said: “Of course silk is in it, and A certain Mohist came today to discuss silk with you.”

Emissary expression moved, Suddenly knew that business was coming.

“Everyone, after Zhang Jian went to the Western Regions, the Silk Road was officially opened. Silk is called the most precious commodity in the desert. Even in the far west, the price of silk is comparable. Gold equals weight!” Mo Dun said in full.

“Equal weight as gold!” All Emissary suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air.

“Really!” Qu Zhisheng asked repeatedly.

Mo Dun nodded said: “This is where the ancestors of the Mohist Family traveled to the extreme west. They saw it with their own eyes, and even more so, the king of the extreme west even forbids the people to wear silk in order to prohibit the outflow of gold. , But still cant stop this trend.”

“However, most of the huge profits are occupied by countries close to the extreme west, while the Great Tang and Western Regions have gained very little. This is for me It is not fair to wait, even to the extremely western countries. Not only do I have to increase my profits, but I also have the obligation to let more people in the extreme western countries wear cheap and beautiful silk. Mo Dun exclaimed .

“Yes! I have to wait to make money!” Many Western Regions Emissary countries instantly agitated their interests, and their eyes flushed red.

Even Tongtsen Yulsung has to admire Mo Dun’s beautiful play, but he has not broken it. After all, in the interests of the Silk Road, it has nothing to do with Tibet.

Mo Dun suddenly showed a confident smile when he saw it. In terms of the interests of silk, the interests of Great Tang and Western Regions are the same. This is the root of the success of the Great Tang silk system.

“So, Great Tang decided to buy silk from Great Tang in Western Regions in the future, only from Jianzhiguan City, but only the best silk produced by Great Tang Weaving Bureau. “Mo Dun loudly said.

“Only buy from Jianzhiguan City!” A group of Emissary frowned, if so, wouldn’t it be the price that Great Tang said.

Qu Zhisheng cautiously probed: “This is Heavenly Khan’s command!”

“Of course!” Mo Dun without the slightest hesitation’s nodded and said.

“Not only that, in the future in Jianzhiguan City, if you want to buy other goods of Great Tang, Jianzhiguan City only accepts silk as currency, and when Great Tang purchases goods from other countries , It will only pay for silk.”

As soon as Mo Dun finished speaking, all the Emissary were in an uproar, and no one thought that Great Tang would actually propose this condition.

“This is impossible! Chinese merchants have not come from a thousand miles away, but they can’t ask for gold or silver. Although silk is expensive, it needs someone to buy it in exchange for money. What is the use of that many silk! Great Tang This is too domineering.” Qu Zhisheng couldn’t help but dissatisfied.

Other Emissary echoed one after another and supported Qu Zhisheng in unison. They came from a long distance for money, not silk that cannot be eaten or worn.

Mo Dun said with a smile: “Dont worry about this. If you dont have enough silk in your hands, you can exchange it with my Great Tang, and I can give it to you unconditionally. Exchange for equivalent silver.”

“Exchange silk for silver!” Emissary of all countries couldn’t help but eyes opened wide and looked at Mo Dun in disbelief.

Mo Dun faintly smiled and said: “Moreover, you can change the price according to the price you know.”

A crowd of Emissary suddenly looked at each other in blank Dismay, I dont understand what it means for Great Tang to spare such a big circle, so its not as convenient to trade with silver!

“Furthermore, Great Tang needs to sign a letter of credence with you. Transactions between countries will be settled in units of silk, and silk will be allowed to circulate. In this way, transactions between countries will be greatly facilitated And fairness, this will be of great benefit to me and others. Mo Dun said.

“We and other countries have their own money, how can we use silk as money anymore!” Qu Zhisheng dissatisfied.

Mo Dun hearing this could not help but sneered out a piece of silver and said: “This is Gaochang silver. From the bottom, it contains less than 50% silver. I am afraid that few merchants are willing to accept this silver.”

Qu Zhisheng’s face suddenly turned black.

“This is Kuche’s copper coin, with a copper content of about 60%!” Mo Dun took out another coin and said.

Kuche Emissary suddenly showed a proud look, but before he was proud, Mo Dun forcibly slapped his face: “It’s just that the workmanship is too bad, but any craftsman in Great Tang can imitate it.”

Kuche Emissary suddenly went down.

Immediately, every time Mo Dun took out a country’s coin to comment, an Emissary fell silent.

“Different countries have different coins, different purity, how to exchange money, and my Great Tang silk is produced by the Weaving Bureau, not only expensive, but also impossible to imitate. , I believe it will be extremely beneficial to all countries, and as long as you can earn enough silk, Great Tang can unconditionally exchange you for silver of the same value. These silvers are not these miscellaneous silvers, but pure silver!” Mo Dun The plan for the Great Tang silk system is fully presented. . “

Emissary in many countries where business is prosperous suddenly moved in their hearts, and this move seems to be quite beneficial to them, and they cant help but be moved.

“Apart from this, Great Tang asked everyone The country is responsible for protecting the safety of commercial roads, eradicating sand pirates, and at the same time fixing the tax rate. The increased tax on business travel on the Silk Road shall not exceed 21 tax. “Mo Dun firmly said.

Dont think that the tax is very small. You must know that these small countries are just small cities, and the small countries of Western Regions stand in great numbers, every time you go to a small city Paying a tax, along the way, the tax that Foreign Merchant has to pay is not a small amount!

“It is my duty to eliminate sand pirates, but the tax rate of 21 tax is too small, right? ! Didn’t Marquis of Mo just say that these Foreign Merchants are sold to the West and the gold? “Some Emissary is dissatisfied.

until now, Western Regions wantonly oppress Foreign Merchant, often imposing heavy taxes, desperately oppressing Silk Road merchants, let alone twenty tax one, just say right Foreign Merchants are clearly grabbing things everywhere.

In the past, these Foreign Merchants could only break their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs, but who would have thought that Great Tang would take the initiative to help these Foreign Merchants.

Mo Dun said with a sneer: “It is as heavy as gold. That’s because things are rare and expensive. There are too few business trips to the extremely western countries and too few silks are shipped. The Silk Road is full of bones and long. The deaths devoured by the yellow sand did not even have a fraction of the deaths on the sand thief. Hundreds of caravans went to Great Tang, but in the end they didnt save one. The youngster even heard that some small countries armies even acted as sand thief secretly. The means of killing people and overcoming goods was started. “

Mo Dun’s sharp eyes swept across the Western Regions countries. Many Emissary suddenly bowed their heads with a guilty conscience. Naturally, they knew more about the foundations of their own country. Some tribes were for the people during the day and pirates at night. Sometimes the army also acts as a sand thief.

Mo Dun sternly said: “The previous Great Tang can be forgotten. From now on, Great Tang will also send Emissary and send people to the Western Regions. Follow the Foreign Merchant camel team and count the number of people every time you go to a country. If something goes wrong in which country, then you are damaging Great Tangs interests. If Heavenly Khan will blame you in the future, dont blame A certain. Mohist did not remind you today.

A crowd of Emissary heart shivered with cold, the great Tangs intrepidity suddenly appeared in front of the grand military parade, especially the Great Tang, who controls the Gunpowder, is already invincible in the whole world, let alone Great Tang sent troops, that is, as long as Great Tang instructs, I am afraid that countless small countries will charge for it.

“Of course, as long as you agree to sign a letter of credence with me, Great Tang, I, Great Tang, will definitely wait. Security, even on the Silk Road in the future, there will be endless business and travel. A certain Mohist can guarantee that the benefits of the countries on the Silk Road in the future will be ten times more than that. “Mo Dun is well aware of the carrot and stick strategy, showing the benefits and benefits one after another.

Many small Western Regions Emissary immediately eyes shined. Many countries are extremely weak and small, and only a small city can stand on its own. , Its not guaranteed at all. If they can get the asylum of Great Tang, then there will be a lot of benefits. Just go to this point. They believe that their lord will not refuse such good things.

Plus Mo Dun The huge benefits displayed are also predictable. Once the safety of the Silk Road is guaranteed, countless merchants will join in. I am afraid that this Silk Road will be several times as busy in an instant. In the long run, it is indeed Benefit more.

Although the conditions of Great Tang are strong, at least in the eyes of Western Regions Emissary, not at all endangers the rights and interests of their country. For a while, many Emissary are quite excited.

p>

Although the conditions of Great Tang are good, in one persons opinion, they are quite dissatisfied. That is the Western Turkic envoy Yukuk Shad. Once the conditions of Great Tang agreed by the Western Regions, it means As Great Tangs power is fully expanded to Western Regions, it has seriously affected the status of Western Turkic.

“I, Western Turkic, disagree with this matter. Western Regions are Western Regions of Western Regions, not Great Tang. In Western Regions, according to Great Tangs vision, Great Tang took away the bulk of the silk profits, and I waited for it, but I just drank a little soup. “Yukuk Shad dressed up in prairie clothes categorically retorted.

West Turkic is now the overlord of Western Regions. As soon as Yukuk Shad made a sound, many small Western Regions suddenly trembled in their hearts and added to Great Tang. They are also very embarrassed with West Turkic.

Mo Dun coldly said: If you dont agree to join the Great Tang silk system, then there is no need to open supervision and control the city with Great Tang. Naturally There is no need to enjoy the benefits of silk. Great Tang will not supply silk like it does. “

Yukuk Shad’s heart jumped, and he looked at the powerful Mo Dun in disbelief and said: “You are not afraid that I, Turkic, will intercept all the foreign merchants, and none of them will come to Great Tang.” “

Mo Dun coldly snorted and said: “Master Yukuk Shad, don’t look at West Turkic high, you know, there is not only one Silk Road. “

Mo Dun didnt make a lie. The Silk Road from Changan City to the west is divided into three roads, north, south, and central. West Turkic controls only the north road and has the ability to influence the middle road. As for the South Road, Yukuk Shad is beyond reach.

“I Khotan is willing to join the Great Tang silk system. “Yutian Emissary without the slightest hesitation.

“Yutian! “Yukuk Shad gnashing teeth said.

However, Khotan Emissary is not afraid of it. Khotan is located on the southern road of the Silk Road, separated from the west Turkic by eight hundred miles by the sea, naturally not afraid of the West Turkic. However, after Great Tang conquered Tuyuhun, he could easily clean up Khotan. Khotan naturally knew how to choose, and immediately reached Great Tang immediately.

Yukuk Shad’s face was immediately embarrassed, but he let it go. He refused to say: “If the Silk Road is interrupted in two ways, I think this so-called Great Tang silk system will be a joke! “

Mo Dun said without any fear: “Even if West Turkic unifies the entire Western Regions and cuts off all three roads, I, Great Tang, can start from Lingnan Daohai Road. The silk carried by sea ships is much more than that of camels. I am afraid that is the real way out of the Silk Road. By then, my entire Western Regions will lose the benefits of the Silk Road and I am afraid that it will soon decline. Got it! From this point of view, you are asking for Great Tang, not Great Tang for asking you! “

“Marquis of Mo calm down, if you have something to say, can you make money together? “

When I heard Mo Dun lifting the table, many Western Regions Emissary suddenly panicked. The Silk Road feeds many small Western Regions countries. If the Silk Road is cut off, the worst thing is not Great Tang or Western Turkic. , But their small countries.

Tongtsen Yulsung persuaded: “Why Yukuk Shad Emissary is so angry? If you have something to say, please. “

Yukuk Shad also took the opportunity to go down the donkey. He just said something cruel. If he really cuts off the Silk Road, I’m afraid the Turkic nobles in the west will not let him go. After all, this is Too many peoples interests are involved.

“This matter is of great importance. Xiao Wang has to go back and report to Royal Father! When Qu Zhisheng saw Yukuk Shad by the side, he did not say directly, but said tactfully. However, everyone knows that Gaochang and Great Tang border, it is impossible to abandon the interests of Great Tang and silk, and it will be sooner or later to join the Great Tang silk system.

Suddenly, many Emissary countries in the Western Regions in the middle wanted to show that they would go back to discuss with the king. After all, this matter cannot be determined by a small Emissary.

“That’s natural. After you return, the Special Envoy of Great Tang will accompany you with Great Tang’s credential to discuss the matter with the kings. “Mo Dun said loudly. Mo Dun naturally knows that his task has been completed, the next step is to look at the vertical and horizontal people specially trained by Great Tang.

No! Diplomats!
