Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Xue Yantuo's matter was considered to be a complete agreement. When he came, Qibi Heli and others also got a certain amount of authorization, and since the negotiation was completed, Zhenzhu Khan simply wrote the letter of credence.

And he took the initiative to write in the letter of credence: Although the countries in the Western Regions are subordinate to the Tang Dynasty, they are still managed by themselves, which brings the threat of war to the people of the Tang Dynasty and the people of the Western Regions. Rangchen was quite moved.

I have always been very grateful for your majesty's gratitude to me. After thinking about it again and again, I feel that this matter must not be delayed. For the sake of the tribes in the grassland, the herdsmen and the people of the Central Plains, there will be no more conflicts, no more bloody conflicts , the minister is willing to give up all his power.

I am willing to become an ordinary citizen of Datang, lead the entire Xue Yantuo tribe and other grassland tribes to be completely merged into Datang, become a state of Datang, and be included in the management of Datang, so as to avoid misunderstandings due to insufficient communication between the two parties.

I implore your majesty to send capable ministers to the grassland to lead the many herdsmen and people in the grassland. I implore your majesty to do your best to let the many herdsmen and people in the grassland live a good life so that they no longer struggle for survival!

To this end, the minister is willing to give up everything.

Xue Yantuo's vassal: Yi Shiyi male, wrote a letter on April 22, 4 of the Tang Dynasty. "

After Zhenzhu Khan finished writing the letter of credence, he handed it over to Qibi Heli, and Qibi Heli sent three hundred cavalry to Datang in an urgent manner.

And they will stay in Xue Yantuo for the time being, and carry out other follow-up procedures, such as other tribes that form Xue Yantuo together with Xue Yantuo's tribe, to persuade them, they must come forward to explain.

Therefore, it is definitely impossible for them to return directly for the time being, and they still need to cooperate with Zhenzhu Khan to carry out the next step of the plan.

I have to say that Zhenzhu Khan is also very straightforward, or he knows a truth, or don't do it, and since he has done it, then he should do it simply and strive for more benefits for himself.

Not up and down is the way of fools, otherwise you don't agree, since you agree, you have to completely vote for either side.

What's more, if you persuade other tribes to join Datang, you can still get money. We will also be from Datang in the future. If we want to live a good life, we will definitely need more money.

No one can think too much money.

In mid-May, Zhenzhu Khan's letter of credence was sent from the grassland to Chang'an City. Li Shimin, who received the letter of credence, handed Li Ke to Liangyi Hall immediately.

Naturally, the memorial written by Qibi He Li and others was accompanied by the letter of credence. In the memorial, Qibi He Li and others wrote down the dialogue between the two sides that day and the whole process.

After getting the letter of credence and the memorial, Li Shimin read both of them one by one.

After reading it, Li Shimin couldn't help laughing "hahaha", and he directly handed the memorial and the letter of credence in his hand to Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng.

"Look, look, hahaha, this Yi Shiyi man is also a wonderful person. To be honest, I didn't expect this kid to be so straightforward." Li Shimin was very proud.

Fang Xuanling and the others immediately circulated both documents.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty." The three of them all smiled and congratulated Li Shimin. After all, it is definitely a good thing for Datang to completely solve the threat of Xue Yantuo and other tribes in the north.

At present, the only thing that Datang cannot solve peacefully is that there is only one Goguryeo left.

They didn't expect that His Highness's move would actually work.

"You should congratulate Li Ke. To be honest, I didn't expect this kid's method to be really effective." Li Shimin said with emotion.

"These are probably closely related to some of His Highness's reforms." Fang Xuanling also added with emotion, "Without His Highness's reforms, this trick is basically impossible to work. After all, if you want them to give up the whole of Xue Yantuo, Guang It’s the money we’re paying that’s a huge number.”

"What Liang Guogong said is very true. If such a method was put in the past, I would not have dared to think about it." Changsun Wuji nodded accordingly, this is the difference in vision.

If it weren't for Li Ke, they would never have thought that there would be such a trick, but can this trick be used casually?No, because this trick requires a lot of financial resources!Let’s just say that buying the entire Xue Yantuo this time involves Zhenzhu Khan and the nobles of Xue Yantuo’s various tribes.

The total amount of money paid by the entire Datang is almost between 500 million and 2000 million. In the past, this was the treasury of Datang for two years.

Even if it is based on the income of Datang's treasury in 21 years or this year, it means Datang's income for a whole year!

How could they have paid this amount of money before.Not to mention whether Datang has it, even if it does, they don't have so many copper coins!

But now it is different, the banknotes can be printed directly by the Mint under the Central Bank.

Although His Highness said that banknotes are not printed casually, but are calculated based on national strength, commodity prices, commodity circulation rates, etc., which is said to be very complicated.

But His Royal Highness also said that a country can over-issue part of the currency, but the over-issued part must be controlled within a certain range, and the premise of over-issuing is that Datang is very optimistic about Datang’s future economic development. .

In fact, the currency circulation rate of Datang is too low, and too many copper coins are silent in different places, so there will be a phenomenon of insufficient money before Datang, not to mention that the currency of Datang is actually around All small countries have circulation.

Now that these small countries are included in the rule of the Tang Dynasty, all aspects such as commodity circulation in these small countries must also be included in the calculation.

Increasing currency issuance is naturally inevitable, not to mention what is a commodity?There are currently more than 3000 million livestock in the entire Xue Yantuo territory, all of which are commodities!Since Datang bought these commodities and became Datang's goods, as well as the country's land area, etc., it is naturally feasible to issue currency.

But the previous Datang was definitely not possible.

In fact, if the Tang Dynasty in history really had so much money, Li Ke's policy could be implemented in real history.For these kings of small countries who can't fight again and know that they may die if they fail, you have to give enough status and money, and it is not difficult for the opponent to give up this position.

"Is it possible for your Shangshu Province to make arrangements for the follow-up work?" Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling and asked.

"It's not a big problem. Although our officials are still in short supply, they are already being cultivated. Some scattered officials in the court can be used for reuse. According to His Highness's previous instructions, these people have also treated them for several hours. months of training, mainly to change their attitudes."

"Especially those young literati who His Highness is going to leave from the Imperial College, and the newly trained young officials. They are young enough and quick enough to get in touch with new things. They are all worthy of use."

"The other thing is that these tribes in the grasslands are different from other countries. They start nomadic life in summer, and they nomad in the form of small tribes or small villages. After choosing a village, they can solve some simple daily things themselves." Fang Xuanling spoke seriously.
