Datang Almighty Dad

Chapter 402 Such a special request?
"The envoy knows that our Khitan tribe has little land and strength, the people are poor and lack food and clothing, and they live as nomads, and they are located in a remote place. There is heavy snow for half a year every year, and it is very difficult to survive..."

He rambled on for a long time, almost not talking about the origin of the Khitan tribe. It was not until Li Yuanchang almost fell asleep listening to it that the Khitan king got to the point.It was Yang Bao beside him who tugged on the sleeve of the King of Han to remind him, Your Highness, the Khitan King seems to say that he wants to be a vassal of our Tang Dynasty and asks to be our vassal state.

Um!Um?real or fake?

The King of Han was shocked and couldn't believe his ears.

No way, there is such a 'disrespectful' request?We are here to buy from you, you are a seller's market, right?Even if you don't want a high price, you have to put forward some corresponding conditions.

But the current situation is that you not only want to give away the cattle for free, but also pay tribute to us?This, this... How about you make some other 'excessive' demands?Otherwise, I can't take this advantage seriously.

Li Yuanchang, the king of Han, cried out in his heart, "Fifth brother, what kind of hard work did you assign to my brother? It was really too difficult. I spent all the time eating and sleeping in the open, and all the means I prepared were useless. The script was different from what we expected!"

"My lord, my lord... Do you see their conditions?" Yang Biao reminded, they are waiting for your answer.

Li Yuanchang came back to his senses, and asked with a look of embarrassment, "I don't know if the King of Khitan has any other requests?"

Um?other requirements?

The King of Khitan began to mutter, thinking that it was bad, he was trying to barter with me in exchange for conditions, Datang was not going to agree to the conditions of my subordinate state, could it be that there was a plan to annex us behind the scenes?
Thinking of this, King Khitan broke out in a cold sweat, and looked at King Mohe involuntarily.The latter was also worried, gave him an unlucky look, and secretly scolded Datang for being too domineering and powerful, not even leaving room for him to be a minister?

If people don't agree to become ministers, you can't be wishful thinking, right?The Khitan king was in an extremely bad mood, the excitement and excitement just now were no longer there, and his heart was full of resentment and loss. Since they couldn't reach an agreement, why would they want to make a deal?When you destroy my Khitan, whether you buy or sell, don't all the bison belong to you?

"No, it's just this one condition. If you can't agree to it, then we don't need to talk about business." The Khitan King couldn't help but took on a broken temper.

ah? ? ?What are you?

The King of Han and the others looked at each other, and finally Yang Biao said, "Our trip is only for business. As for the conditions of the King of Khitan just now, it is not impossible to discuss. We need to send an official document to ask the court for instructions. Of course, our Highness King of Han will definitely be in front of His Majesty. A good word for Khitan. The premise is that our business cooperation is successful, the price of this one hundred Wen..."

This guy is worthy of being a profiteer, he is as cheap as the price of cabbage, and he wants to chop it down with a knife.

But Han Wang Li Yuanchang interrupted, "The price will not be changed, only one hundred coins. Since the Khitan is willing to make good friends with Datang, then the price of one hundred coins should be regarded as the sincerity of our Datang to help Khitan. The matter of becoming a minister, Although this king can agree on his behalf, the specific matters need to be discussed by the imperial court."

"Really? That, that's great. On behalf of all members of the Khitan tribe, Xiao Wang, I thank His Highness the King of Han for taking care of me!" The Khitan king stepped forward excitedly and directly grabbed Li Yuanchang's hand.

I, this... Is this a big matter of pleading a minister?Is it a bit sloppy?

King Mohe's eyes were strange, and he kept muttering in his heart, as if the King of Khitan had already taken refuge in Tang Dynasty.Although the buffalo business is attractive enough, there is no need to rush forward like this, right?
When the business is negotiated, not only the established plan is completed, but also the task is overfulfilled.Li Yuanchang felt that this trip was worth it, and he would have a day to make contributions, tsk tsk, it was not in vain to be beaten up by the fifth brother.

In the final analysis, it was better for the Fifth Brother to point out that the Khitan would not refuse, and it was already planned to make the Khitan willing to help Datang raise cattle. After a few years of development, Datang would no longer lack cattle. How many times does the national power have to be doubled?Haha, it's all right now, and the Khitans directly surrendered, so it would be more convenient to use them to raise cattle, and they wouldn't even need to use plots and tricks.

"By the way, since we are already a family, the transaction is not limited to money. I can make the decision. The transaction of bison can be settled with copper coins or other conversions. For example, food, cloth, goods, etc., and even My fifth brother told me that even salt and iron can be traded as appropriate."

What? ? ?Salt iron? ? ?Oh My God!

The Khitan king felt that it was difficult to breathe, did I hear correctly?Being able to barter is a big discount, and you can also trade these scarce supplies?Our Khitan has everything we need for grain and cloth, not to mention salt and iron that are listed as contraband. Datang and Datang are so interesting!

For a moment, the Khitan King seemed to be hit by a big pie, and was speechless in surprise.He felt that his decision to become a minister today must be the most wise moment in his life.

"Cough, I don't know, I don't know if I can be a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty like the Khitan? Our tribe also has a lot of bison. Of course, we have no intention of competing with the Khitan. We can trade other things, as long as we can exchange some food, salt and iron. Just help the people..." King Mohe who was pushed into the corner asked weakly.

These words woke up the Khitan King, who was about to glare at each other, but was interrupted by the Han King Li Yuanchang, "Theoretically, there is no problem. My Tang Dynasty does not reject friends, especially those who are willing to cooperate with each other. But this is a big matter. This king can't be the master, I also need to write a letter to ask for instructions."

"That's right, it should be, Xiao Wang is willing to wait! In this case, then Xiao Wang will not bother you to do a big business with Khitan Wang Xiandi. Xiao Wang, I will go back to the tribe to make some preparations, and at the same time, I can talk to the tribe's son. Announce the good news."

King Mohe couldn't wait to leave. This guy is not stupid. Seeing that Khitan approached Datang, he immediately got the support of strategic materials such as grain, salt and iron. It is absolutely false to say that he is jealous.Not to mention the Khitan and other nomadic peoples, even Goguryeo, which is known as a powerful country, will not be indifferent to such huge profits.

The Khitan king enthusiastically entertained the Han king Li Yuanchang and his party with the highest etiquette, and at the same time Li Yuanchang wrote a letter to return to the country, in order to show his sincerity, he directly sent a thousand bison to Chang'an as a gift to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Half a month later, when the urgent official document arrived in Chang'an, Emperor Li Er was stunned.Wu Lang sent Lao Qi to Khitan to discuss business, he knew it well, but what the hell is this claiming to be a minister and paying tribute?Lao Qi has such a brain?Go out for a trip and directly take down the two major tribes of the Khitan Mohe?With this ability, is he still that good-for-nothing old seventh?

But the facts are all there, and it is a major matter for the country. Presumably Han Wang Li Yuanchang has no courage to dare to lie about the military situation.

Li Yuanying was summoned for an emergency discussion, and Li Yuanying also expressed shock. She never expected such a small plan to buy cattle to have such a big windfall.Order the bison brought by Khitan, select ten and send them to Chang'an, and send the rest to Henan Province first to test the bison taming plan.
