Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Chapter 571 Let's Be Honest Between Us

Guess...

Lu Dongzan couldn't hide the shock in his heart, he didn't really believe it, but he didn't say anything to this Highness, so the other party could guess this?And even their actions can be guessed, which is too against the sky.

Although it is impossible for their actions to be kept secret, it is also impossible for them to have someone from His Royal Highness King Qin, so the other party can only guess?

"This...surprises me." Lu Dongzan first complimented, suppressed the shock in his heart, and sorted out his thoughts by the way.

"I don't think we need to be so secretive between us, everyone's time is so tight, and I think the envoy Mr. Lang can return to Tibet as soon as possible." Li Ke said with a smile, "Don't say anything else, this time you come , you probably want to buy more Quyuanli from me?"

Lu Dongzan took a deep breath, this... The rhythm of the conversation was completely different from what he had imagined. As one of the few scholars in Tubo, aristocrats and wise men, Lu Dongzan was familiar with the culture of the Tang Dynasty and the books of the Central Plains.

But His Royal Highness King Qin couldn't adjust the rhythm of the chat, it was completely different from what he had learned.It's fine if the point is just different. What's even more frightening is that the other party knows everything about his purpose and behavior.

This is the most terrifying thing, as if the other party can see through his heart, of course he knows what Qu Yuanli said in the other party's mouth.

"Then what does His Highness mean?" Lu Dongzan took a deep breath, did not continue to entangle in this issue, but went straight to the point.

"I can provide you with more Quyuanli." Li Ke nodded bluntly, "But, I can't provide all of them directly to you, so I need to sell them to different tribes in Tibet in batches. , if it is sold in a centralized manner, it would be too blunt, and I don't want to leave any clues to Datang's powerful family."

Lu Dongzan immediately expressed his understanding. To be honest, before coming to Datang, he had always been a little bit puzzled, including just now.

That is, His Royal Highness Qin Wang does not seem to be the kind of person who disregards the interests of the Tang Dynasty for money, so why does he sell those important things to Tubo to fatten Tubo?At least in Lu Dongzan's view, His Royal Highness King Qin is fattening up Tubo, a possible enemy.

He Lu Dongzan stood in the position of Datang, considering the previous relationship between Datang and Tubo, he could guess that Tubo was a threat to Datang.Although His Royal Highness King Qin gave Zanpu a brand new goal, a brand new path, and it was basically not too difficult.

But King Qin who proposed this path must have proposed this path in order to divert Tubo's attention and eliminate Tubo's threat to Tang Dynasty. His Royal Highness King Qin must have seen Tubo's threat to Tang Dynasty.

The strength of Tubo is the threat of Datang.

So why does he still do it?After hearing these words, Lu Dongzan suddenly came to a realization.

A powerful family, that's right.

Lu Dongzan is very clear about the situation in the Tang Dynasty. He is familiar with the culture of the Central Plains. He is very aware of the influence of these aristocratic families on the Tang royal family. The fief represents their status. Both he and Songtsan Gampo belong to the Ga family.

This is one of the reasons why Songtsan Gampo trusted him, and there are also many Tubo nobles who are similar to their Ka family, and these people are very similar to the powerful families of the Tang Dynasty.

Undoubtedly, His Royal Highness Qin Wang has always wanted to reduce the influence of the powerful family, so he used this method to collect funds. After all, he spent quite a lot before.

And only sufficient funds can allow His Royal Highness King Qin to accumulate enough strength.

Thinking of this, Lu Dong came to a realization.

It turned out to be like this, but this is good news for them Tubo!As long as King Qin is willing to sell, gold and silver are useless to Lu Dongzan. There is not much demand for these things in Tubo.

In their respective families, it is nothing more than making ornaments, or some extravagant decorations to show their status.

But compared with sufficient troops and weapons and armor, they would of course choose these, including Zanpu, who thought so too. With troops and weapons and armor, Tubo's strength was just around the corner, and there was no silver or gold at that time.

And having sufficient weapons and armor means that they have obtained a large amount of arable land from the fertile and vast flat land south of the South Kunlun Mountains. At that time, Tubo will no longer be bitterly cold, and Tubo will be stronger!

"Of course, His Highness's thoughts are our thoughts. Your Highness can point out a few tribes, and we will transport silver and gold to the areas where these tribes are located in advance." Lu Dongzan bent down.

"Well, how about it, it's close to the border city established by Datang in Xizhou, that is, a few tribes near the border with Tubo. It's mainly for trade with them, and the distance is also close. As for what you will do after you get it , that’s out of my control.” Li Ke said lightly.

"Yes, no problem." Lu Dongzan nodded. He knew the tribes well. Those tribes were robbed a lot because of the harassment of Murong Shun's cavalry. The nobles inside were all people who could not inherit the tribe before. And these people are now extremely loyal to Zanpu because Zanpu granted them the right to inherit the tribe!

These tribes are much easier to control!This is a good thing!In this case, Lu Dongzan pondered for a while. These tribes are very important. He decided to go back and suggest to Zanpu to merge some small nearby tribes into these tribes to increase their population.

In this way, whether it is transporting materials or other things, these tribes will go more smoothly.

The most important thing is that if there is a conflict with Datang in the future, these tribes can draw enough soldiers.

Datang is building a city on the border with Tubo, but Tubo does not have the strength to build a city, so it is necessary to leave enough preventive manpower, or the right to deploy troops from some nearby tribes, select the outstanding patriarchs of those tribes, and hand them over to them.

"Then it's settled. In addition, I hope that Zanpu's military fortune will be prosperous and he can win more land. According to my understanding of that side, the Jieri Dynasty is actually very weak." Li Ke said lightly. .

"Understood, thank you His Highness King Qin for the information." Lu Dongzan didn't say much, just bent down with a smile and said.

"In this case, I will not send it away. After the envoy returns to Tubo, I believe that some items in my caravan will increase trade with Tubo. Of course, since it is trade, gold and silver are indispensable. "Li Ke said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Highness. Of course you have to pay for things." Lu Dongzan said nothing special.
