Yang Kai from Yixing Society, Wang Mingyi from the Ministry of Revenue, Li Anmin from the Ministry of War, Tian Bo from the Neiwei, Gongsun Changming, and Chen Wenliang gathered at Li Ze's General Office to discuss related matters about Tubo.

"Xue Jun is so heartless." Yang Kai was a little indignant and slapped the table and shouted: "Such a person must be punished."

Gongsun Changming smiled and said, "In another aspect, he has been punished. Everything he has worked hard to manage, the strong investment of Xue's family in Tubo over the years will now be easily taken into our pockets. With their money and doing our business, I think this is what he is most painful."

Li Zeyi said: "This is reasonable. No matter what Xue Jun's initial idea was, it was still good in the end. More importantly, in Tubo, we need more Tang people to gain a foothold. At this point, he did a good job."

"Although that's the case, I think it's necessary to supervise him." Yang Kai said: "Li Xiang, don't he say he wants his children and grandchildren to come back? Then why don't we satisfy his wish and select the best group of people from the third generation of the Xue family to come back. Hedong should not think about it, but Wuyi and Zhenzhou can all be placed in Wujun himself. Just like Xue Jun himself, let him bow for our Tang Dynasty in Tubo."

Yang Kai's plan is very vicious.

Getting back the best talents of the Xue family under supervision is equivalent to directly cutting off their wings and cutting off their possibility of further development.

Li Ze nodded slightly.

"Since Xue Jun is willing to hand over the power he has operated in Tubo over the years, we can also meet his requirements. The third generation of Xue family can select some people to come back to serve, depending on their talents. This matter will be handed over to Cao Xin. As for Xue Jun, after he dies, he can also go back to the countryside to be buried. In addition, the Ministry of Rites will discuss it and see what kind of title is appropriate for him!" Li Ze smiled and said, "We don't want other people's things in vain. If we have punishment, we must not lose the rewards we should have."

Chen Wenliang wrote quickly, recorded Li Ze's opinions on the record, and prepared to go back and give them.

"In view of the current situation in Tubo, it is necessary to make certain changes to its policies." Li Ze continued: "Tocharo's body must have had a big problem, but based on our understanding of Tochar, he will definitely do something before he dies. These things include launching an attack on Delhi Chinan to severely defeat Delhi Chinan. Delhi Chinan has suddenly increased the order of military supplies recently, and must have foresaw this situation."

"Of course, the ordnance cannot be sold to them at this time." Li Anmin sneered.

"How can we not sell it?" Wang Mingyi immediately retorted: "We must collect the deposit, and we must increase the amount of charge. It is also necessary to increase the price of weapons to rise sharply, and then delivery will naturally be slow."

Lee Anmin looked constipated: "This is so shameless."

"How can the affairs of the country be shameless?" Wang Mingyi looked righteous and arrogant: "Besides, we are not not failing to fulfill the contract, but because of the fierce domestic wars, the internal needs to grow strongly, so the prices will naturally rise. Similarly, the weapons we produce must first meet the needs of our own army. Only if there is excess will they be sold to them. If they can't wait, they can do it!"

Li Anmin was silent.

Yes, there is no justice between countries? It is just intrigue. This is different from the interaction between people. Integrity comes first and righteousness begins. If a country's ruler hangs these in his mind and uses them as a standard of conduct, then the country is not far from being unlucky.

"Xue Jun has a very accurate view, that is, although Delhi Chinan is not as good as Tochar, it is much better than Tochar's sons. After all, Tochar still cannot escape the shackles and still wants to hand over the power in his hands to his bloodline. This is destined to fail in the future. Delhi Chinan is a relatively mature politician. Once he annexed Tochar, without this great enemy, he will naturally turn against us. Therefore, let Tochar damage Delhi Chinan before his death, and we can also take the opportunity to strengthen our power in Tubo, which truly belongs to ours, and think that the final annexation of Tubo will lay a good foundation."

Everyone nodded.

"Yixing Society selected elite, reliable and Tubo-speaking members in the Western Regions, Ningzhou, Suizhou, Xiazhou and other places, and entered Tubo in large quantities and joined the two serf uprising troops we have mastered." Li Ze looked at Yang Kai and said, "These people are best experienced officials who can govern local governments, and those who can speak eloquently can effectively incite the people. Their main purpose of entering is to develop Yixing members in large quantities and spread the principles of Yixing Society to them. Taking various means to convince these people, Yixing Society will become one of the most loyal members of Yixing Society from then on."

Yang Kai bowed and said, "Don't worry, Li Xiang, a long time ago, Yixing Society has been deliberately training personnel in this area. In Ningzhou and Suizhou, we have accumulated a considerable number of such Yixing Society members. When they enter Tubo, they will not be inconvenient to words, customs or even diet."

"It's always reassuring that Yixing Society has done its job first." After praising Yang Kai, Li Ze looked at Wang Mingyi again.

"After entering the area controlled by the serfs uprising army, the personnel of Yixing Society will help them establish effective administrative departments to manage the local areas, and will divide ranches, land, cattle and sheep, and build houses for ordinary people. Your task is to help these serfs uprising soldiers become rich."

"Yes. We will form a special caravan to increase the input and output of goods there, and at the same time give a certain inclination to finance." Wang Mingyi said.

"This is far from enough!" Li Ze shook his head and said, "It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish. The Tubo area does not lack resources, but lacks business methods. You must select excellent talents from the Business Department to help them. The deep processing of fur, Tibetan medicine and various agricultural and sideline products can make great profits. I believe that the professional talents in your department will be better at these business opportunities than me."

"I'll make arrangements immediately after I go back." Wang Mingyi nodded and said.

"Above military!" Li Ze looked at Li Anmin: "Above military, Li Cunzhong's troops have increased their preparations on the border and prepared for all wars, putting greater pressure on Delhi Chinan. At the same time, they can also restrain part of his troops. When he intends to launch an attack on the areas occupied by the serfs' uprising army, he can carry out some provocations and other activities to a limited extent, forcing Delhi Chinan to not act rashly."

"At the same time, after the beginning of spring, Zhang Jia's troops of Hetao marched into the Western Regions, with Yuquan Pass as its headquarters. At the same time, part of its troops is the reserve army of Xue Ping's troops in the Western Regions, ready to supplement and support it at any time. The other troops will press into the territory of Tubo, in order to launch an attack on Tubo as another army when necessary."

"I understand!" Li Anmin said. "Gansu supplies Li Cunzhong and Ningxia supplies Zhang Jia. These two troops have been raising their strength. Even when our mainland is in trouble, we have not used the resources of these two places. Now it is time for them to play their role. Xue Ping has been asking Zhang Jia's troops to enter the Western Regions. In this way, he can continue to move forward without any worries, so as to cross the Pamir Mountains."

Li Ze looked at Tian Bo: "I don't need to say anything about the inner guards. Although Tubo has more difficulties than domestic ones, the inner guards still need to increase their strength and continue to penetrate. Now there is a panic in Tubo. At this time, there are many people who want to seek a way out. They are buying and instigating. I don't care what method you use, and I must obtain valuable information in a timely and effective manner to provide reference opinions for the actions of other departments."

"The inner guard must spare no effort and do his best!"

"Li Xiang, there is one thing we must pay attention to, that is the religion of Tubo!" Gongsun Changming said: "In the territory of Tubo, from kings and nobles to ordinary people, they all believe in Buddhism. The Buddha's status in the territory of Tubo is extremely noble. In fact, these Buddhas are also big landlords, with a lot of wealth and monks. Compared with those local nobles, they are more difficult to deal with because they have a wide range of believers."

Li Ze closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and said, "We have always had the most basic bottom line on the issue of religion, that is, God's return to God and man's return to man. God must never interfere with human affairs. This is also my bottom line on Tubo religion. Tell these Buddhas that we respect the privileges they deserve, but God should not be contaminated with the dust of the world, so they must return some things."

"I'm afraid this will cause their strong rebound." Gongsun Changming said: "Even the serf uprising army, the vast majority of people believe in them."

"So Yixing Society is the first to enter." Li Ze said: "At the same time, we also have to look for those truly lofty aspirations and support him so that we can dismantle each other from within."

"I'm afraid it's hard to find such a person!"

"No, let's create one!" Li Ze said lightly: "Leave this matter to Xue Jun. He stayed in Lhasa and wanted to know these Buddhas better than us."
