Wu Tian glanced at the Minister of the Household Department, he turned out to be a young man in his early twenties, smiled slightly, and said: "It is really a young man who can be the Minister of the Household Department of Xixia at such a young age. Let me ask you, how much money is there in the Treasury of Xixia?" Population, how much money is there in the treasury?"
The servant of the household department pondered for a while, then cupped his hands and said, "Xixia currently has a population of about 500 million, and the treasury has 700 million taels of silver, which is enough to last for two years."
Wu Tian nodded, and said: "Well, you take out all the silver in the Xixia Mansion treasury to help the common people in Xixia. In addition, two days later, I will send a batch of super rice to come, and you will be responsible for educating them." The people of Xixia are planting. For three years, I will not collect any taxes from the people of Xixia, and all the things the people plant are their own. But if some people don’t plant and cause trouble, I will definitely not be polite. And the first one to bear the brunt is you, the servant of the household department .”
The Minister of Tobe's face turned pale with fright.
Wu Tian smiled, and continued: "You don't have to be afraid, Minister of the Ministry of Finance. If you finish this matter, I will make you the Duke of Xixia, and concurrently serve as the governor of the Northwest, and manage the entire Xixia region."
Hearing this, the servant of the household department was very happy, and knelt down to kowtow to Wutian.
"I will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty's kindness!"
Chapter 421 Four Kingdoms Discussion
Chapter 421 Four Kingdoms Discussion
After the Western Xia region was occupied, the entire Western Regions were shaken.
In particular, the four major countries led by Tubo, Hami, Donghu, and Xiliao immediately called a meeting of the Western Regions Alliance.
Tubo King Songtsan Gan preached: "Liang Guo destroyed Xixia, and now the land of China has been reunified. The country is rich and the people are strong, far above the Sui and Tang Dynasties. I suggest that Wu Tian inherit the unfinished business of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty and respect him as Heaven together." Khan."
Songtsen Gampo's proposal was quickly approved by King Hami and King Donghu.
The king of Xiliao was silent, as if he was very reluctant to admit it.
Songtsan Gampo felt strange, looked at the king of Xiliao and said, "Master Liao, just say what you think, I gathered everyone this time to discuss the matter of getting along with Liang Guo. To tell you the truth, I hope to be able to get along with Liang Guo." The country has a good relationship, and Liang’s domestic economic and technological development are what we need. If we can establish friendly relations with such a country, it will be like adding wings to a tiger for our own development.”
The King of Xiliao waited for Songtsan Gampo to finish speaking, looked up at him, and sneered.
This laugh made Songtsen Gampo very embarrassed.
"King Xiliao, if you have any dissatisfaction, you can speak it out directly. Just don't speak to me in such a strange way, I don't want to suffer from your uselessness."
Songtsan Gampo became angry, and King Hami and King Donghu hurried over to comfort him.
"Brother Wang, don't be angry. Lord Liao just didn't get used to it for a while, so he got angry. After he thinks about all this for a while, he will understand our kindness."
"That's right, Brother Wang, Lord Liao may just be too tired. Don't be angry. We gathered here today to discuss a countermeasure."
Songtsen Gampo suppressed his anger a little bit, and sat down on his seat.
King Hami and King Donghu turned around and pulled King Xiliao aside, and said in a low voice, "Lord Liao, you can speak now, what are you thinking in your heart?"
The king of Xiliao was silent for a while, and said: "To be honest, I really don't want to surrender to Liang. The two brothers should also know that my Xiliao is one of the branches of Daliao. The suzerain state was destroyed by Liang. Now that Liang State has destroyed Xixia again, and its troops are coming to the Western Regions, this is clearly to show us the strength of Liang State. This king admits that Liang State is several times, or even dozens of times, ours in terms of military capabilities and land area. Our current ability is simply not able to resist them, if we don't obey, we will die."
"But Xi Liao can't forget the hatred of the Liao Kingdom being destroyed no matter what Xiliao said, so no matter what, I will fight the Liang Kingdom to the end. Even if it is because of this, I will not hesitate to pay the Xiliao Kingdom."
King Hami and King Donghu were stunned when they heard this.
Xiliao State and Liang State are feuds, but they have no enmity with Liang State. What Songtsen Gampo said is very reasonable. It is indeed in their best interest to establish a relationship with Liang State.
The king of Xiliao saw the thoughts of King Hami and King Donghu, and said: "I know that you have the same thoughts as Songtsan Gampo and want to rely on the big tree of Liang, but I will not stop you. It is your business to talk about national peace, but don't let King Raben go into the water."
King Hami and King Donghu saw that their thoughts had been seen through by King Xiliao, and they did not hide it.
"Lord Liao, we really want to cooperate with Liang Guo. You should also know that Liang Guo is the most powerful country at present. It is superior to us in terms of economy and military. What's more, they have new weapons. If we cooperate with Liang Guo If they resist stubbornly, the country will definitely be subjugated. Instead of that, it is better to cooperate with Liang Guo, so that we can develop our own economy and military, and improve the lives of ordinary people.”
Speaking of this, King Hami and King Donghu glanced at each other, and then said: "Master Liao, you have been separated from Daliao for 30 years, and you have no relationship with Daliao. When Daliao fell, there was no relationship. I want you to go back and help. It has been more than three years since the Liao land was merged into the Liang state. Isn’t it too late for you to think about this matter at this time? Listen to our advice and let this matter go. This will do you good. It is still the most important thing for Xiliao."
The king of Xiliao was silent.
What King Hami and King Donghu said makes sense.
Daliao has been destroyed for three years. When Daliao survived and perished, Emperor Liao was looking for Xixia, but not his offshoot.
Now what qualifications does he have in Xiliao to attack Liang Guo for Daliao?
The king of Xiliao was in a state of confusion and couldn't make a decision for a while.
"Don't think too much about it. The war is definitely unwinnable. There is no other way except to make peace, which is a condition that can be accepted by all parties."
Songtsen Gampo also interjected at this time.
He had heard clearly what the three of them had just said.
The king of Xiliao looked up at Songtsan Gampo, was silent for a while, and said: "This king can negotiate peace with Liang, but if I want this king to surrender to Liang, it is impossible to say anything!"
Seeing that the king of Xiliao was so determined, Songtsan Gampo knew that it would be useless to say more.
He sighed and said: "Well, since you are so determined, King Xiliao, I have nothing to say. You can do whatever you want!"
Songtsan Gampo didn't want to deal with this matter any more, he threw down his sleeves and left alone.
As soon as he left, King Hami and King Donghu looked at each other, turned and left.
Soon the content of the discussion of the four kings of the Western Regions spread throughout the Western Regions.
Dai Zong reported the collected information to Wu Tian.
Wu Tian frowned slightly as he looked at the content of the information.
"The Liao Kingdom has already perished, how dare this Xi Liao not give me face like this, and still want to fight against me?"
Dai Zong cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Yeluguang, the king of Western Liao, is the younger brother of the dead Emperor Liao. Thirty years ago, because of their different ideas, Yeluguang led the army to leave the Liao Kingdom and go to the Western Regions, where he created a world. Later, the new Liao Kingdom was established, and it was called Xiliao because it was located to the west of Liao Kingdom."
Wu Tian nodded.
"It turns out that this is the case. This Yeluguang must not accept that I destroyed the Liao Kingdom, so he wants to fight to the end. But this is also good, we just use him to show our power, so that the countries in the Western Regions can directly see how powerful our Liang Kingdom is."
Dai Zong smiled with ulterior motives.
Wu Tian also showed a smile with ulterior motives.
At this time, Guan Sheng and Hua Rong came in, seeing their weird smiles, goosebumps jumped up.
"The two of you came at the right time. I happen to have something I want you to do."
Wu Tian looked at Hua Rong and Guan Sheng and said.
The two glanced at each other, then bowed their hands towards Wu Tian: "Your Majesty, if you have anything to do, just tell me, and I will definitely do it."
Wu Tiandao: "Now you lead your headquarters, 40 troops, equipped with [-] red cannons, and take the Western Liao Kingdom to me!"
