However, for such a big deal as Tubo, I couldn't help but be alert to how much property Qinling brought with him this time when he went to the Tang Dynasty. In any case, the important departments, relevant scientific and technological information, and craftsmen who participated in important confidentiality technologies needed to strengthen monitoring. I would not betray the Tang Dynasty, which does not mean that others would have the same idea as me. As the saying goes, when the forest is big, there will be any bird. I am not tempted by money and beauty. It does not mean that all the people in the Tang Dynasty are like me. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen supervision and monitoring.

Even if you are vigilant, you will still accept the etiquette and speak the big talk. However, I am best at talking big talk and talking nonsense. Qinling is not easy to deceive, but the problem is that the initiative is not in Tubo. In the Tang Dynasty, as long as the Tang Dynasty understands Tubo's ambitions and takes one eye to pay attention to Tubo's actions, they will never be able to make big waves at this stage.

Uncle Li looked at the box of gold, several boxes of rare medicinal materials, fur and other items, and countless jewelry and antiques in front of him. These things alone are worth more than 100,000 yuan. Uncle Li couldn't help but smash his tongue and said, "It seems that Qinling, you have invested a lot of money to your son-in-law. Could it be that you are not moved at all?"

I am very dissatisfied with Uncle Li's statement, and Uncle Li really underestimated me too much. "What does my father-in-law say? My son-in-law always regards money as dirt, fame and fortune as clouds. My father-in-law, you are very smiling. Do you think your son-in-law is really a rebellious villain who wants to see money?" I was very dissatisfied with Uncle Li's attitude of grinning. This is an insult to my character.

"Okay, OK, I don't mean to make fun of my son-in-law. Come here to sit down and tell me, are you making that boy Qinling suffer a loss?" Uncle Li finally held back his smile and signaled me to sit down.

"Father-in-law, the son-in-law should only allow Qinling to mediate and deal with it fairly. He will never favor any party. The gifts given by Qinling are all here, and the son-in-law will not take any money." I said seriously. In fact, Qinling gave me more than these things, but Qinling gave me gifts in private, without a gift list, and it is impossible to put on the table. Therefore, it is also open to us to take some kickbacks.

"Haha, it's rare that a virtuous son-in-law is willing. Even if you accept them all, what's wrong? I am the king of a country and will not be greedy for some money." Uncle Li reluctantly played with a green jade knife and said to me. For Uncle Li's face words, I just thought it was a fly buzzing in my ears. Although it was annoying, I was absolutely kind and would not swatter the fly on Uncle Li's mouth that kept opening and closing.

"However, my son-in-law thought that even if my Tang Dynasty prevented Tubo from annexing Xiangxiong this time, Tubo would not be willing to do so. They would definitely make excuses to pull out Xiangxiong's nail when our dynasty was fighting against Goguryeo."

Uncle Li nodded, frowned, put the green jade knife back in place, clapped his hands and sat on the couch: "How about Xiangxiong? The result of the discussion with Xiangxiong these days should be a big hit, right?" Uncle Li's words meant a little bit of a double-choice, but it doesn't matter. Uncle Li took a lot of kickbacks from me, so I said calmly: "The son-in-law and the Tubo envoy are very close, it is not a secret. Prince Xiangxiong has reminded his son-in-law many times not to be deceived by the sweet words of Tubo. However, in this way, our negotiations with Xiangxiong have been much smoother. Xiangxiong is willing to exchange 10,000 good horses, 20,000 furs, 20,000 cows, and 50,000 sheep for my Tang Dynasty military preparations, 20,000 bows and crossbows, and several other equipment..."

"This business is done!" Uncle Li's eyes were shiny and he was very excited. You know, the current price of horses is extremely high. Ordinary horses can be replaced with forty pieces of silk, and one piece of silk is about 500 cents. Five hundred cents are not a small amount in ordinary people's homes. A bucket of rice is only sold for five cents per piece of silk or a hundred dollars of rice, which is about ten stones of rice. One stone is about fifty-nine kilograms, and ten stones are 590 kilograms of rice, which is enough for a family of three to eat for a year. It should be said that it is not very good.

A small number. Forty pieces of silk are about twenty silos. In the future, it is worth 80,000 to 90,000 yuan. Not to mention buying a horse or a car, it is enough to buy a car. What's more, if it's a good horse, it's worth three to five times or even ten times that of an ordinary horse. In other words, 10,000 good horses alone are equivalent to nearly one million silos. In addition, 20,000 fur, 20,000 cows, and 50,000 sheep. After that, it's equivalent to the tax revenue of the Tang Dynasty in the past year. How can Uncle Li not be moved?

The Tang Dynasty's military preparation system has 20,000 sets, which is only about 200,000 guan at a discount. In addition, 20,000 crossbows, and only 200,000 guan of equipment, etc., is only about 200,000 to 300,000 guan. In other words,

This business made the Tang Dynasty almost get one.5 million in vain.

Uncle Li may not have thought that reselling weapons can make such a high profit. Although he did not say it clearly, he could see that next time there was such a beautiful thing, Uncle Li would definitely support such economic behavior with all his strength.

"It seems that Xiangxiong is indeed in danger, but it doesn't matter. I have already released the news. I think the queen of the East Girl Country should not be short-sighted, and then we will naturally know.

Continue to talk, I received money from Tubo, so I naturally had to do something for them, such as revealing some details about the negotiations with Xiangxiong that I think should be revealed. Of course, Li Geda’s personal friendship with me also allowed me to convey a large amount of information about Tubo to Li Geda.

Then, the negotiations between the envoys of the two countries began. I, as the third party to this negotiation: the agent of the Tang Dynasty, was also a witness, coordinating the conflicts and emotions between them, so that they would not be too excited, always greet each other's female relatives, and take actions and verbally insulting the other's personality hostages.

Simply put, I am the referee in the boxing ring. Both boxers stuffed me a big red envelope and promised privately that if I could favor them, there would be more economic bribery, etc., and I judged their attack points fairly and strictly, and the number of times they knocked down the opponent, and then told the boxer who was temporarily at a disadvantage that the opponent's weakness was. In this way, the scene became more and more intense. A very exciting game proved the saying that no matter whether it was a cow killing a horse or a horse killed a cow, it was nothing to do. Anyway, I boiled water and put it in a pot and waited, and there was always meat to eat. The winner of this strange boxing match would be the referee of Datang.

Qinling and Li Geda were very grateful for my secret care. Whether it was true or false, I always gave my heart, which was worthy of the gifts and personal friendship between Li Geda and Qinling. After nearly twenty days of difficult and fierce negotiations, under the mediation of my colleagues and my colleagues, under the power of the Tang Dynasty's strong national strength and military power, and under the repeated attacks of the unfavorable news that Tang Lianbing, the Queen of the Eastern Girls Kingdom, Tang Jianzuo, sent minister Tang Jianzuo to send an envoy to the Tang Dynasty to pay tribute, Qinling could only

He accepted the mediation of the Tang Dynasty very unwillingly, because the emergence of the envoys of the Dongwo Kingdom in the Tang Dynasty meant that the Dongwo Kingdom had already been in line with the Tang Dynasty. Under such circumstances, if Tubo insisted on his own and sent troops from all over the country to attack Xiangxiong, Xiangxiong would definitely not be able to end in a short time. Moreover, this would also anger the Tang Dynasty, a sect leader country that had already shown its attitude. Then, if the Tang Dynasty soldiers came out of Longyou and joined forces with the Dongwo Kingdom, the Tubo, whose domestic troops were empty.

There is no way to resist the army of the East Girl Kingdom, which is a feud with Tubo, and not to mention the joining of the more elite Tang Dynasty elites who are good at fighting. The ending is likely to be the ending of the East Girl Kingdom benefiting, and the Tubo and Xiangxiong's five internal organs are damaged. Songtsen Gampo's ambition to unify the plateau is not possible, but it is likely to be annexed by the East Girl Kingdom.

Qinling and Xiangxiong signed a peace agreement, temporarily ceased the war, and accepted the mediation of the Tang Dynasty. During this period, neither side was allowed to take military action against the other side, otherwise it would be regarded as disrespect for the Tang Dynasty, the sect leader. In addition, in order to thank the two countries for being so obedient, the Tang Dynasty decided to increase its trade volume and no longer restrict the export of daily necessities. Moreover, the two vassal states had a false title. The Tubo lords were promoted from the son-in-law to the general of the auxiliary country, and the Xiangxiong King Li Xiu became the champion general.

After this negotiation, the Tang Dynasty made a total profit of 1.7 million yuan, including the gifts given by Qinling. Of course, I can't count what I intercepted privately. Moreover, being friendly with the Dongnu Kingdom is a heavy blow to Tuyuhun, which often sways between the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo. Tuyuhun is located at the junction of the three parties. Now, Dongnu and the Tang Dynasty are connected by economic links. The Tang Dynasty has made a promise to the Dongnu. Within three years, within three years, it will buy tens of thousands of good horses from the Dongnu Kingdom every year, and sell a large number of silk, tea, porcelain and iron products to the Dongnu Kingdom every year. This tangible promise surprised and delighted the envoys of the Dongnu Kingdom.
