People have always been obsessed with businessmen at the level of valuing profit over righteousness. From the perspective of Confucianism, they criticize them, despise them, despise money, and despise business. As the saying goes, everything has its own two-sided and even multi-faceted nature. This was criticized by people who opposed Confucianism in the past as hindering the development of capitalism and hindering China's progress towards democracy and prosperity.

However, after Suning truly understood the original view of Confucianism on business and its impact, he felt that the existence of Confucianism has well guided the atmosphere of Chinese society to a level that despises money and attaches great importance to morality, and maintains it for a long time. This is beneficial for Chinese society, because blindly attaching importance to business and money will only bring serious problems of capital families controlling the country, similar to those of the United States. Therefore, Confucianism also has a positive impact on business discrimination.

Of course, if you get something, you have to pay the same price to exchange. God is fair to everyone in this regard. Therefore, Suning feels that losing the qualification to communicate with the great era of capitalism is such a price. China has paid a heavy price, but it has not seized the most important opportunity to continue to promote the spirit of the national doctrine, so it ended up in a very miserable end, and it has continued. This is China's tragedy, the biggest tragedy in China in the 20th century.

At this time, everything has not begun, everything is still full of opportunities. Suning will not let the Tang Dynasty and China in this world lose this opportunity. The pilot of the Western Turks is the first step, and everything in that world must be abandoned. Going back on a new path, the unique conditions of the Tang Dynasty have. It is precisely the excellent prerequisites for developing all these excellent prerequisites, maintaining Confucian views, and following the actions of hundreds of schools of thought, which is the ideal society.

Although all this is still vague and invisible, this is at least a rare opportunity. In order for China in this world to be at the forefront of the world and to develop into the world's number one major power. This is even more important. In order to achieve this ideal, it is worth the price that Zonghengsi pays, and the value of those caravans can be reflected at this time.

The caravans of twenty wealthy and nobles and twenty wealthy businessmen were fully equipped and camped next to the Military University in the northwest corner of Chang'an City. The preparations before departure these days were to make up for the gaps and report all the things they brought to Suning. Suning recorded them on the record. As the court, if these things were robbed and damaged on the way, the court would compensate them.

The court also needs to be honest, right? Confucianism has been rampant for so long, and a businessman is considered a Confucian businessman, and he has to speak in a very literary manner. For fear that the court will bully them, the caravans of twenty wealthy and noble families have strict protection from their own palaces. However, because they are merchants, they cannot have private parts and can only rely on the three thousand garrisons of the Tang Dynasty to protect them. This security level instantly declined to a higher level, so Suning announced that if their goods were robbed, instead of being sold, the Zonghengsi would be responsible for compensation and not let them suffer losses.

Looking at their suspicious expressions, Suning had to take out his trump card - as long as they go, they will not have to pay taxes at home. This is the biggest concession of the court, you must be content! The merchants are overjoyed. The court's compensation is really not expected. Where can the emperor in the world compensate them like merchants? But the tax exemption for as long as they go is definitely a real benefit. If you stay there for the rest of your life, the family will not have to pay taxes for the whole life. The money earned is their own, so you don't have to worry about the heavy commercial taxes and the terrible tax officials.

Just for this, these businessmen showed a look of looking at death, which made Suning laugh and cry. Now you are looking at death, thinking that you will die if you go. After you taste the sweetness, you will probably not leave. That's fine. Take you as an example. You are the first batch of big capitalists. See where you can go, and then consider it. The court must also prepare to change the "Shang Law". If the Commercial Law does not change, business will naturally have no way to develop.

Finally, under the gaze of a large group of people, the Tang Dynasty expedition of the Western Turkic caravan set out towards the Western Turkic in the northwest. A large team of nearly 10,000 people would have been a very majestic expeditionary army if it were not accompanied by a huge number of horse, ox carriages, or ox carriages. Of course, in a sense, this was also an expeditionary army, but a commercial expeditionary army. They were going to open up new markets, open up new foreign markets for the goods of the Tang Dynasty, and achieve the goal of promoting foreign demand.

Ancient businesses have always been self-produced and sold. It is difficult to grow at a small scale. If any industry wants to develop into a giant, it is inevitable to communicate with each other between regions. In ancient times, giant businesses made their business nationwide, so they were called giant businesses. However, if they want to become business elites, they must make their business all over the world. Only with such a vision can business develop, because the market is always the most important.

They don’t know much about it now. After they tasted the sweetness in the Western Turks, they understood what huge profits mean and high profits mean. After tasting such sweetness and expanding their appetite, they will no longer limit their attention to the small Guanzhong. They will definitely think about the ancient place of commercial glory - the Silk Road. That road is the real gold everywhere.

With such belief, there is no need to be afraid that business will not be able to develop. When the Silk Road is opened, the political and military forces of the Tang Dynasty can penetrate with the infiltration of commercial forces, and regain the Western Regions and Hexi Corridor that the Han people have not mastered for hundreds of years, grasped there, and then united the countries there, look at Tubo, train troops on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, let soldiers master the secrets of plateau combat and be familiar with the plateau climate. Such an army must be strong with the Central Plains soldiers.

The existence of Tubo in history made the Tang Dynasty unhappy in the second half of its life. Moreover, the main reason for the Tang Dynasty was that the plateau climate was that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty could not fight, but the soldiers of the Tubo could come at any time. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty dropped their strength and were dizzy when they went to the plateau. The combat power of the Tubo soldiers who went to the plain increased greatly. How could they be invincible? Therefore, they had to use the plateau climate to fight the plateau climate. If they master Tibet, we had to control Qinghai. With the same altitude training, Tubo was no problem with the Tang Dynasty's superior equipment.

This is the first major goal of Suning's plan to explore the Western Regions. After killing Tubo and controlling the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, it can occupy an important transit station for sending troops to Central Asia. The main reason for Gao Xianzhi's defeat in Hengluos was that there were too few soldiers in the Tang Dynasty and the control of the Western Regions was not strong enough. So this time, we don't need any nominal control. Send diplomats and stationed troops, and then directly control it. If we don't accept it, we will fight, destroy them, and directly set it as the Tang Dynasty administrative region.

The most reliable one to beat!

It occupied the Western Regions and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It was equivalent to controlling the western territory of modern China. At this time, Central Asia was still under the rule of the Persian Empire Sassanid Dynasty, which is commonly known as the white-clothed food. The Sassanid Dynasty was already in its late decline, but the Sassanid Dynasty had good exchanges with China in history, and the relationship was relatively good. For example, during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, friendly exchanges between China and the Sassanid Dynasty were frequent. According to the Book of Wei, the Persian envoys came to China for dozens of times, bringing various gifts to the Emperor of the Northern Wei, including rare objects, elephants, etc.

The Sassanid Dynasty began to be attacked by Arab troops in the sixth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, that is, next year, after the demise of Yonghui in the Tang Dynasty, Balus, the son of the last emperor of the Sassanid Dynasty, fled to the Tang Dynasty and asked Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Li Zhi to send troops to fight against the invasion of Islam. Emperor Gaozong seemed to have no interest and escorted him back to the Sistan area of ​​Afghanistan. The Persian Guardian was established in the 12th year of Yonghui. However, in the 14th year of Yonghui, it was destroyed by Islamic Arabs. Chinese history books call it "white food and big food and big food and big food and big food".

The relationship here is probably understandable. Gao Xianzhi's opponent is this big food. The big food in black is stronger than the Sassanid dynasty. In other words, the Sassanid dynasty treats China relatively friendly, and it is very weak and not strong. However, Islamic Arabs are very strong and full of aggression. They have begun to rise at this time. The Tang Dynasty has not had much time left. We must deal with the entire western Xinjiang of China before the Arab destruction of the Sassanid dynasty, control it, and then prepare for wars, intervene in the Central Asian War, control Central Asia, and confront the Arabs!

By the same token, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. At that time, whether it was the Western Turks, Tubo, or the countries in the Western Regions, they would disappear, or still exist in a nominal way, but in fact they were already the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Only by fighting on their own territory can they have a sense of belonging. Suning did not mind recruiting local people into the army and let them in the fastest speed, so education was also very necessary.

There are many things to do, but there are only about twenty years left. It is not difficult to do these things within twenty years, but they must be done, because if they cannot be done, they will face a greater blow in twenty years. For this reason, the Tang Dynasty needed to fight and constantly fight. During this period, it was necessary to wipe out the threats from the north, south and east, and then strive to explore the West and begin a journey across Europe and Asia.

Of course, at that point, the territory of the A-San and others must be accepted. It would be a pity to not have such a large Ganges Plain. Southeast Asia must also be accepted. It has a heavy grain production area and abundant marine resources. It is an indispensable place for the development of the Tang Dynasty's navy and maritime power. The Tang Dynasty can open up the land Silk Road and the Maritime Silk Road. In short, it must reach Europe and fight all over the world, so that the Tang people's horizons will be broadened, and they will no longer be satisfied with a Central Plains, but will never be satisfied.

The caravan left Chang'an City with Suning's ambitions, left everyone's vision, and left the territory of the Tang Dynasty, went to other countries to thrive in foreign lands, became a huge blood-sucking worm, sucked the blood of the nomadic people dry up, and then went to other places to continue sucking blood, providing opportunities for the intervention of the Tang Dynasty's political and military forces, and working hard for the Tang Dynasty to control the Western Regions.

So any weapon will be a double-edged sword. It mainly depends on whether the person who uses it is smart. If he uses it well, what are he afraid of? Just use it directly. No one is your opponent. If he doesn't use it well, it goes without saying that he dies miserably. However, Suning feels that he can use this weapon well, because the current merchants are just simple merchants, without political power, and without military power, and there will be no future. The royal family and nobles will not give them political and military power. When these people see the power of merchants, they may be afraid.

"Sanming, you said, if this matter is done, how should we treat those merchants? They defeated the Turks with the power of the Turks without spending a single soldier or a single soldier, without food and grass. As you said, the methods are incredible. It's okay to put them abroad, but wouldn't it be dangerous if it was in the Tang Dynasty? Do you have a countermeasure?" Du Ruhui, for some reason, suddenly predicted the future of the merchants' rebellion...
