Datang: Acting as a celestial mystery at the beginning

"When we use money to buy Turkic wool, it is equivalent to controlling the economic lifeline of Turkic people."

"If one day we announce that we don't want wool, those Turkic people will probably come to us and ask us to continue purchasing, and they will agree to us no matter what the conditions are."

"Besides, the Turkic people sell wool. When they are rich and have a prosperous life, they want to enjoy it and don't want to invade the outside world. But in the grassland area, there is a shortage of products. How can they enjoy it?"

Li Yian asked them this question.

"When the Turkic people are rich, of course they buy the fine wines and silks from our Tang Dynasty," Li Shimin said.

"That's right, the money we used to buy wool didn't come back to us in the end?"

Li Yi'an said: "We can buy them a carload of wool for a penny, but they may not be able to buy a jug of wine from us."

boom!

Li Shimin's mind buzzed.

This is also... too powerful!

The final link of this plan to destroy the Turks was tightly tied back to the people of the Tang Dynasty.

That is to say, at an extremely low price, the Turkic wool was purchased, and the wool was used to weave clothes, so that the people of the Tang Dynasty would no longer suffer from the cold. In the end, the Turkic people’s money from selling wool was returned to the Tang Dynasty in another way. .

Throughout the process, the Turks gained very little, and even the territory of the grassland would fall and be occupied by the Tang army.

All the benefits were taken by Datang.

Li Shimin looked at Li Yi'an at this moment, as if looking at his little lover with enthusiasm.

Monster, sir is definitely a monster!

"Jiro!"

Seeing her husband being rude, the eldest grandson Wugou said softly, "Sir, I still have something to say."

Li Shimin coughed twice, and quickly shifted his gaze.

Li Yi'an then said: "It's just that it's not easy to realize this measure. The most important point lies in the merchants. They may not obey the orders and arrangements of the imperial court."

"Do they dare to obey?"

Li Shimin's eyes were cold.

"What if behind them are five surnames and Qiwang, or those noble families?"

Li Yi'an's words hit Li Shimin's heart fiercely, and continued: "I believe that if this plan is to be implemented, many merchants will respond and obey, but the people under the five surnames and Qiwang families may not. Will they cooperate with the court when they see that there are benefits to be gained? No! As long as they interfere, it will be difficult. As far as I know, His Majesty is also somewhat afraid of the five surnames and seven wangs."

Li Shimin's hope that had just been ignited seemed to be drowned by a basin of cold water, and his heart was also icy cold.

Those aristocratic families are equivalent to obstacles in the way of a dynasty. They have a deep foundation, hold a lot of social resources, have many students, and even the officials of the court are their people.

For hundreds of years, dynasties have changed, and the world has been in turmoil. No matter how chaotic, the aristocratic family is as stable as Mount Tai.

Yang Guang implemented the imperial examination system in the previous dynasty, which affected the interests of the aristocratic family, which was one of the reasons why the Sui Dynasty perished so quickly.

Li Shimin had just become emperor, and he didn't have the ability to dare to challenge the family, especially the five surnames and Qiwang.

If they obstruct it, all plans cannot be implemented at all.

"The premise of this plan is that His Majesty can settle the five surnames and seven expectations. As long as they are subdued, other families will not get in the way." Li Yi'an's voice sounded faintly again.

"Excuse me, sir, how to deal with the five surnames and seven hopes?" Li Shimin asked again without giving up.

"Too much talk today."

Li Yi'an didn't intend to continue, and pointed to the food on the table: "Look, it's all cold."

Li Shimin understands that there are some things that cannot be rushed, and he has gained so much today, so he is satisfied.

"I was wrong. I shouldn't ask Mr. so many things."

Li Shimin laughed: "As a member of the royal family, I am eager to share the burden for the royal family."

Li Yi'an nodded slightly: "I can understand."

Li Shimin said again: "With Mister's ability, if you can enter the court and become an official, it's no problem, and you can benefit all people. I have a few places to recommend. I wonder if Mister is willing to be an official?"

Li Yi'an shook his head and said: "As an official, can I be as free as I am?"

This sentence is regarded as a rejection.

"Sir, it's not like that..."

How could Li Shimin let it go, and wanted to persuade him again, but seeing Li Yi'an's absent-minded look, he immediately shut up, for fear of offending his husband.

So far, Li Yi'an is the only person who can make Li Shimin treat him with such care.

This long lunch, after eating for a long time, was finally finished.

Li Shimin couldn't stay outside for too long, so he had to leave and go back.

Li Yi'an sent him outside, just in time to see the girl and Wanshun going out in front of the courtyard next door.

"what!"

Wanshun exclaimed, and quickly hid behind her sister.

The girl's expression was also very strange, she could even be said to be frightened, her body trembling slightly.

Li Shimin glanced at them indifferently, didn't care, and left slowly.

"It's okay, he's gone."

Li Yi'an watched the other party walk away, and said: "He has already promised that he will not trouble you again in the future, so you can rest assured to stay in Wannian County."

The girl said gratefully, "Thank you, sir."

"Brother, can you not associate with him? He is a bad guy, he killed us Aye, he..."

Wanshun's big eyes were full of tears, which made people feel pity when they saw it.

Aye, is the name of the father.

However, before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by the girl: "Wan Shun, don't talk nonsense."

Wanshun lowered her head aggrievedly.

"It's okay, he's not completely a bad guy." Li Yi'an said.

They didn't say anything, didn't dare to go out, and went back to the house.

"A mortal snake locks his spiritual orifice, and he must have the position of prince!"

"Erlang? Heavenly Huanggui? The spirit of the emperor? The appearance of an emperor?"

Li Yian withdrew his gaze, shook his head and said with a smile: "Li Langjun, your identity is not just that of a prince. How many nobles are there in Chang'an called Erlang? One emperor through the ages, that's all!"

Then, he turned slightly and looked towards the back of the yard and the shade of the trees.

There are still a few people watching him over there, feeling his gaze, like a light on his back, quickly disappearing.

Li Yi'an just laughed and went back to his room.

On the streets of Wannian County.

After Li Shimin's excited mood calmed down, he kept thinking about what Li Yi'an said just now about the emperor's appearance.

"Erlang is worried about Chengqian?"

The eldest grandson Wugou is still able to see through her husband's mind at a glance.

Turks and aristocratic families, and even pork matters, can be put aside temporarily, these are too long-term.

He is currently the most sensitive about the issue of his heirs and succession to the throne.

Because he had just killed Li Jiancheng and became emperor, he was worried that his son would follow suit.
