Chapter 640

In Honglu temple, all the envoys no longer wanted to visit Chang'an City before they came. They returned to their homes one by one and refused guests behind closed doors. What happened today was beyond all their expectations for Datang. They wanted to report everything that happened today to their king, and their attention to Datang went up several steps one after another.

In the Tibetan post house, Lu Dongzan recalled what happened today and couldn't help sweating. If today's Tubo is against the Tang Dynasty, it must be defeated. Now it seems that it's best to avoid the edge

"Fortunately, Tubo has the natural danger of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau!" Lu Dongzan said happily. As long as Tubo doesn't take the initiative, if Datang wants to defeat Tubo, it must pay a heavy price. Of course, Tubo's strategy towards Datang should be greatly adjusted, and it can't easily touch Datang's tiger beard.

However, it is impossible for him to retreat like this and be respectful to Datang. His Tubo occupies the Qinghai Tibet Plateau and is invincible. I'm afraid other countries are not so lucky. I'm afraid some people should be very scared now!

"Come here, look for the opportunity to pass this secret letter to Gaochang, Xue yantuo, Koguryo and West Turk." Lu Dongzan reached out and summoned a secret envoy to seal the four secret letters and solemnly handed them to him.

"Yes!" said the secret envoy.

These four most powerful forces around the Tang Dynasty, I'm afraid only Tubo and their alliance can have the capital to compete with the Tang Dynasty.

Soon, the four messengers received a secret letter from Tubo!

"It's great for the five nations to unite against the Tang Dynasty!" Qu Zhisheng couldn't help looking at the secret letter in his hand.

"Prince, among the five countries, Gaochang is the weakest. We must not act rashly!" Deputy envoy Gaochang couldn't help admonishing.

Qu Zhisheng said carelessly, "it is because Gaochang is the weakest that I need allies and have a foothold in the face of Datang."

"At this time, you need to report to your majesty to decide." Deputy envoy Gao Chang advised.

Qu Zhisheng laughed and said, "we just need to respond to the current situation to calm the hearts of the people. As for whether Gaochang will abide by it in the future, it is naturally up to our father and Emperor."

"The prince is wise!" Deputy envoy Gao Chang said respectfully.

The other three messengers and Qu zhishanda all had the same idea. They agreed secretly that once the Tang Dynasty sent troops to any country, other countries would send troops to contain it.

Lu Dongzan got a reply from everyone and couldn't help smiling with satisfaction. It's not difficult for him to guess what people think, but he doesn't care. Tubo has a unique terrain. If you say that among the five countries, it must be not Tubo in the end. No matter what outcome, it's only good or bad for Tubo.

"Ink offering wine, isn't this military parade too much? If all the countries unite to be hostile to the Tang Dynasty at the same time, wouldn't it be adding feet to the snake!" Linghu Deyu frowned when he received a message from Honglu temple.

Merton shook his head and said, "the alliance of nations is cooperation, and the Tang Dynasty can also be horizontal! To resist cooperation! And our Tang Dynasty is now at the height of the sun. Even without today's military parade, these countries will not unite?"

"Unite vertically and horizontally, attack from afar and close!" Linghu Deyu said in his heart.

Merton nodded and said, "I just don't know whether the vertical and horizontal people trained by the Ministry of rites have left the school. This time, the envoys of all countries will go back, but I Datang will be accompanied by envoys."

Linghu Deyu said confidently, "I promise I won't let Mo sacrifice disappointed."

"Sir, Minister Dai of the Ministry of civil affairs is coming!" an official of the Ministry of rites hurried to report.

"Come on, please!" Linghu dehu quickly got up and said. Dai Zhou was in the same position as him. He visited in person. Naturally, he had important matters to discuss.

"The boy left first!" Merton was ready to leave.

"No, I'm looking for you, boy!" Dai Zhou came in angrily.

"I don't know where the boy offended Dai Shangshu again!" Merton smiled.

Morton and Dai Zhou are also old acquaintances. When the Ministry of the people was short of money, Dai Zhou personally took officials of the Ministry of the people to the Mexican government to collect taxes. Naturally, he didn't have much awe.

"Offend me! Hum! You two have a look at the cost of the parade!" Dai Zhou slammed his account book in front of them.

"So much?" Linghu opened it and exclaimed. He only knew how to spend money, but he never calculated how much it cost.

Merton immediately shrunk. He spent most of the money. Naturally, he knew the approximate figure, which was not a small amount.

"I said to Lord Linghu, who can you ask for help, but you have to find such a black sheep! How much money is not enough!" Dai Zhou said angrily.

Linghu Deyu said, "Lord Dai, it's all for the sake of the imperial court. It costs more, but it's done very satisfactorily. Why don't you approve it!"

Although it cost a lot, the parade was really a success. In Linghu's opinion, it was cost-effective.

"Yes! Although I spent some money, Datang benefited a lot from it. Generally speaking, it's still cost-effective," Merton said dryly.

Dai Zhou looked at Merton coldly. Merton immediately closed his mouth. After Dai Zhou calmed down his anger, he said, "it's not impossible for me to approve, but..."

Linghu Deyu was immediately overjoyed and said, "Lord Dai, if you have conditions, just mention it. As long as the etiquette department can do it, just give orders."

Dai Zhou's face slowed slightly and said, "the Ministry of the people has a batch of silk produced by the weaving Bureau. The Ministry of rites does not have many envoys from all countries. As long as the Ministry of rites can sell this batch of silk, today's business will be written off."

"A batch of silk, how many?" Merton hurried.

The armor lightly exposed an astronomical figure, and Merton and Linghu de suddenly blacked out.

"So much?" Murton exclaimed.

"It's not your boy's fault. Cotton is about to be popularized. The imperial court still has a large number of silk. If it is thrown into the market, I'm afraid the silk on the market will collapse soon! For today's sake, there is only one way to sell it to the countries in the western regions." Dai Zhou explained.

Before that, silk could also be used as money, so it was the imperial court that owned the most silk.

"No, how can we sell so many silks!" Ling Hu De Fu shook his head and said, the whole Tang Dynasty can't digest, and how much can the western countries buy.

"There's nothing I can do about these books!" Dai Zhou said helplessly.

Merton suddenly had a headache. Dai Zhou's meaning was obvious. Now the imperial court can only have money if it sells silk. If it doesn't have money, it's nothing to talk about.

"Ink offering wine, you have a good plan!" Linghu Deyu immediately asked Merton for help. You know, Merton has sold countless cattle and sheep. The only chance to sell this batch of silk is Merton.

"Can you lower the price!" Merton asked tentatively. If the price drops a little, we can still sell some silk.

Dai Zhou sneered: "the value of this batch of silk has been approved by the three provinces and reported to the imperial court. If there is less money in the future, I'm afraid you and I will have to go to the third division."

If the price can be reduced, Dai Zhou will not force Merton. If the price is reduced, the price of this batch of silk has evaporated by several percent out of thin air, which is simply the loss of state-owned assets.

"You said the silk was woven by the weaving Bureau of the imperial court." Merton asked.

"Good!" Dai Zhou nodded.

"Is there no similar silk on the market?" Merton asked again.

Dai Zhou naturally said, "it's natural, and the weaving Bureau's technology is not only superb, but also has a unique mark, which can't be imitated by ordinary workshops."

Merton nodded slowly, closed his eyes and said thoughtfully, "if so, the boy may have a way to sell this batch of silk."

"Seriously?" Linghu Deyu said in surprise.

Dai Zhou narrowed his eyes and said, "no price reduction!"

"No price reduction!"

"All?" Dai Zhou asked after her breath.

"All, even more!" Merton nodded heavily. In his heart, a huge plan around silk took shape rapidly.
