This is a war without gunpowder!

This is a war that determines the future outcome from the beginning!

This is an undisputed war with far-reaching implications!

All of this will be officially decided at the end of the sixth year of Zhenguan. This result will directly affect the future of the Tang Dynasty, the future of the people of the Tang Dynasty, the national destiny of the entire Chinese nation, and Suning's plan. This result will be a milestone event in the history of the Tang Dynasty!

Of course Suning is not very concerned about all this. He only cares about one thing now... Fuck it, let's end it quickly! When it's over, I'm still in a hurry to go back to celebrate the New Year! I'm still in a hurry to go back to my hometown to get married!

In fact, this kind of primitive bid is nothing, but when it comes to intensity, some people can still see it. Just like the debate at the academic exchange meeting in the pre-Qin era in ancient times, the specific situation can also be referred to the intensity of the debate in the Jixia Academy of Qi State. At that time, the debate was really hard to fight for life and debate with life. But now, for the sake of their own interests, merchants can also waste their lives.

Suning was simply surprised at this intensity. Even the Western Turkic Union Merchant Group, which had been greeted, seemed to be a little moved. Suning thought about it and did not stop it. If Yi Nan was a smart person, he would definitely choose the Guanzhong Merchant Group. He had already made it clear enough. Yi Nan could also get a lot of warnings and would maintain consistency with the Tang Dynasty on many issues in the future, in exchange for his own safety.

Within at least ten years, Xue Yantuo will not have the ability to compete head-on with the Tang Dynasty.

This was the calculation made by Yi Nan himself, but he seemed to think a little too simple, because even if Xue Yantuo wanted to have the strength to fight against the Tang Dynasty, it would take more than ten years. At the same time, Xue Yantuo did not have the economic strength and comprehensive national strength compared with the Tang Dynasty. Compared with the comprehensive national strength, the five Xue Yantuo were not opponents of the Tang Dynasty. In fact, even in the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty's comprehensive national strength was stronger than the Western Xia, Liao, Jin and Mongolia, but sometimes the war was not only the comprehensive national strength.

The Tang Dynasty also has strong military strength and can fight generals. A large number of famous generals led by Li Jing appeared in the Tang Dynasty in large numbers. It would be no problem to live for more than ten or twenty years. Suning himself also shamelessly called himself a famous general. He could live for at least thirty or forty years. In this case, Xue Yantuo would never go against the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, according to Suning's plan, the Tang Dynasty would become stronger and stronger.

There is a very important problem among this. That is, although you can find a lot of technical information from the magic machine, Suning gradually understood that knowing and making it is different. For example, you can know clearly how chocolate is made, even the ingredients and production process, but if you make it, it is very likely that dark food will still appear, such as Hu Yifei's filbert.

So Suning learned a lot of technology and wrote it down again. He also told these important iron and metallurgical technical data to the technical department of the Ministry of Industry that had been taken over by Momen in a way that the Tang Dynasty could understand. However, the result was that there was not much progress in more than a year. The technicians of Momen improved the Tang Dynasty's industry to the highest degree they could master. However, the information provided by Suning did not make any achievements from it.

It is probably also a problem of the times. They can use technology that exceeds the current level of the Tang Dynasty for fifty years to improve the industry of the Tang Dynasty and allow the Tang Dynasty to advance fifty years. However, the technology given by Suning is at least the peak period of Chinese technology in the middle and late Ming Dynasty and the Western Industrial Revolution. At this time, the Tang Dynasty was still in the seventh century, but the technology was about a thousand years after the seventeenth century. It seems a bit difficult to understand it...

Moreover, the technological achievements of the Tang Dynasty were not very high. Because politics is often unstable, technology has no soil for stable development. In fact, it can be said that there is a big difference between the technology of the Tang Dynasty and the technology of the Song Dynasty. The technology of the Tang Dynasty was at least a large part behind the technology of the Song Dynasty. The technology of the Song Dynasty was used in the Ming Dynasty. Since the close exchanges between the East and the West in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the technology of the Ming Dynasty has undergone qualitative changes.

Therefore, the golden age of Chinese technology was the Song Dynasty and the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty did not belong to this list. Although the real emergence of gunpowder weapons was also in the Tang Dynasty, in terms of technology alone, it was obvious that the Tang Dynasty was not very good. Otherwise, the Momen would not have been able to get into the Momen for fifty years and gradually began to promote it. At the same time, the core technology researchers of Momen are working hard to study the technical data given by Suning, such as steam engines, and they expressed strong interest in this...

But at this point, there has not been much progress in the technology. Suning also gave them the formula of gunpowder, hoping that they can make gunpowder and thermal weapons that can be classified as gunpowder weapons, but the progress is still not very good. Even the most primitive artillery cannot be produced. The reason is that the gun barrel cannot be made and the iron smelting technology is seriously backward...

This made Suning very depressed. It turned out that gunpowder weapons are so difficult to get. It would not work with gunpowder alone. At most, there was an explosive pack. There was no actual change for war. The era of transition from cold weapons to hot weapons was not so easy to come. The Tang Dynasty is now a completely cold weapon country, and there is no connection with hot weapons.

Suning is so depressed that I can't stand it, but it's helpless, it's really helpless. The reason why technological reform and innovation takes so many years is because theory and practice are completely different. Theory can be proposed hundreds of years earlier than practice. In these hundreds of years, humans do not have enough technical strength to practice this theory.

The Tang Dynasty was in this awkward stage, and Suning was also uncomfortable, but she had to wait. When I really had time, I had to go to this research department to study together. Have you never eaten pork and seen pigs running? Even if I don’t know, I have experienced it myself, and I have also seen the steel mills in person. The smelting process has been personally operated. It is better to have yourself than not.

In addition, that guy Li Tai is still immersed in the world of science. Suning even thinks it would be better to hand over the development of gunpowder to him. However, considering that this guy is a bit paranoid, if he doesn't make himself paralyzed, then he will be punished for his death... I'd better wait for him to try it with him if he has the chance. I always feel that this guy will give him some surprises. His physical level is obviously at the junior high school level... No, maybe it's also high school...

From theory to practice and technology, there is still a galaxy that seems to be insurmountable now in the middle...

The fierce debate continued, and Yi Nan was stunned. Now these representatives of the Tang Dynasty have talked about Confucian classics from business issues, and have begun to debate Confucian classics. What kind of gentlemen is like righteousness and villains are like profits, and they all accused the other party of being a villain and they are a gentleman, but they do not intend to give in like a gentleman at all. This is no longer a commercial debate. It has become an academic debate...

He is truly worthy of being a Shandong gentry. Even if he is a businessman, he can talk about a lot of obscure and difficult-to-understand classical issues... It turns out that since ancient times, talents have been born among the people. The old Confucian businessman in his seventies and a person who seems to be his son used his combination skills - father and son are united and fighting against Shandong gentry - even if he encounters a problem of interest, even the Shandong gentry cannot give in... The Western Turkic caravan is not afraid. He sent several talents who are familiar with Confucian classics to join the debate, and he also said it very well, which is simply an academic debate...

Suning felt that he was one big and two big, so he couldn't help but look at Yi Nan. He found that Yi Nan was looking at him, so he smiled bitterly: "Haha, the literary style of the Tang Dynasty is so prosperous. These people have also read books. This, this, haha, it's inevitable. I hope the Khan will forgive me, and they will be about to argue and come to an end!"

The Yi Nan laughed and cursed in his heart that he was arguing about your uncle! Abuse about your sister! I am not here to listen to these poems, but I want to hear if there are any benefits. You just started to discuss what a gentleman is and what a villain is. This makes people not discuss business? Can you still have fun?

Haha, can (T) cute (M) (D), sell (N) or not (B)?

The gentleman of your sister is like righteousness, and the villain of your uncle is like profit!

Yi Nan was really helpless, but she was embarrassed to say this. She could only look at Suning with helpless eyes. Suning was actually not willing to watch them quarrel like this. Anyway, the plan had been submitted. Yi Nan could understand Chinese characters and Chinese. Naturally, there was no problem. After a rough look, Yi Nan also roughly understood what Suning meant. After looking at the conditions given in three aspects, Yi Nan also understood that it was only the relevant Chinese business groups had no official background, which was easy to deal with, and it was also true that if anyone else had a very powerful backer, he could not afford to be punished.

Suning saw Yi Nan's decision, and regardless of the three aspects of the quarrel, it was better to speak with facts. So Suning decided to take Yi Nan out to see the transaction results of major commerce groups: "Da Khan, you see, they are in a very intense mood now and can't finish the quarrels for a while. This has no practical effect on our discussion. Why don't we go and see how the transactions between those caravans and herdsmen are going to take a look?"

Yi Nan really wanted to hug Suning and kiss him because this was something he wanted to do but dare not say. Suning said it first, that would be fine. He had reason to escape from here. So Yi Nan immediately stood up and followed Suning out of the quarrels of alliance tent until they walked out quite far. Suning could still hear the quarrel. Sure enough, they were just quarreling! They were just quarreling!

Suning shook his head and stopped caring about these things. He rode side by side with Yi Nan and inspected three large trading venues around. Yi Nan had already notified the entire Xueyantuo Prairie about the trade, allowing these herdsmen to trade with cattle, sheep and horse courts. The various supplies brought by the three large caravans were in short supply at present, especially steel products. However, it seems that none of the three caravans had proposed any matters related to steel transactions...

Does Datang still disagree with the steel transaction?

Yes, this is war materials. How can war materials be traded with each other? If it were Xue Yantuo, they would not be willing to trade their horses to the Tang Dynasty on a large scale. Although the Tang Dynasty does not lack horses at present, it has a large number of horses, and they do not have an advantage in this regard... But the Tang Dynasty would not think that there are too many of these things, right?

Overall, everyone should take what they need. You want these silk porcelain or tea bricks, and I want your cattle, sheep, horses and various leather products. Let's exchange them!

The trading site is still very hot. Currently, Suning is located in the trading ground of the Western Turkic joint caravan. They have been doing business with the Western Turkic people for a long time and are well aware of the needs of these people. Therefore, they basically bring in short supply products in the Western Turkic people, so they are very popular. They also have very rich experience and can quickly deal with the influx of cattle, sheep and horses, and then convert and trade with each other as quickly as possible. This is all their experience gained from doing business with foreigners in a long time.
