Chapter 264 Frontier Poetry

Qin Feng's proposal was approved by Ma Zhou, but questioned by Liu Rengui.The reason for Ma Zhou's support is that Qin Feng has a keen eye and fully utilized the characteristics of the border city to seek welfare for the local people with the help of geographical advantages; Liu Rengui felt that doing business with the grassland peoples, especially the Turkic peoples, would only make them stronger, and the gains outweighed the losses. , At the same time, it may also cause the loss of confidentiality and information.

Qin Feng didn't care about Liu Rengui's consideration.Just because the so-called trade means mutual benefit for both parties, a fool would not do such a disadvantageous thing.The answer is yes.But what if there is no trade?
Turks can also be obtained from black merchants and other channels.Therefore, whether to be a trading platform or not will have little impact on Turks and other northern ethnic groups.Rather than benefiting black businessmen, it is better to benefit the people of Datang.Moreover, the establishment of the bazaar in the territory of Datang also means that the initiative is in their own hands.What can be traded and what is forbidden to be traded is up to him.

"Externally, Turks are encouraged to transport abundant cattle, sheep, horses, leather and other materials for trading, but internally, they have adopted a strict restrictive system. All strategic materials such as weapons, iron and armor cannot be sold. Otherwise, if they are found out, all goods will be seized. , and sentenced to the death penalty of ransacking the family and exterminating the family in the name of treason, all books related to technology are also prohibited from circulation, if found, the crime is the same as the first article. "

For very shrewd Tang businessmen, Qin Feng only allowed them to sell tea, silk, porcelain, wine, vinegar sauce, honey syrup, handicrafts, paper, books, calligraphy and paintings, etc., and listed them in detail. list.

"But how to keep it secret?" Liu Rengui was very satisfied with this, but he was still obsessed with how to keep it secret.

This question is rather difficult. Qin Feng thought for a while before slowly saying: "What the Turkic people want to obtain is nothing more than military information and various advanced skills of our Tang Dynasty. Regarding the military aspect, I think three methods can be adopted. The first First, strengthen the self-prevention awareness of soldiers, let soldiers know the importance of keeping secrets through education; second, set up a warning area around the barracks, and all those who exceed the warning line will be arrested for questioning; third, strengthen the deployment of intelligence manpower.”

Liu Ren track: "No matter how good a defense is, there are always loopholes!"

"For decades, the Turkic people have intersected with our Chinese canines, and they have almost learned what they want to learn! We can't stop because of unknown things. We have to see if this matter does more harm than good, or more good than good. If it’s the former, we absolutely don’t want to do it, and if it’s the latter, we must do it.”

Liu Rengui was silent. At this time, Ma Zhou also tried his best to convince Liu Rengui.At this point, Qin Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.Only by working together can we do a good job together. It would be bad if everyone insisted on their own opinions because of this.

After the internal passage, Qin Feng found a sparsely populated open area in Gyeongju and set up a simple trading market. At the same time, Qin Feng also promised to the outside world that no matter what tribe or tribe he is, as long as he pays the city entry tax honestly, the trade Taxes, don't cause trouble in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, everything is easy to talk about, and there is no embarrassment.

At the same time, Qin Feng also sent eloquent people as envoys to lobby Tuli and Yi Nan.

The terms of the transaction were harsh, but after the news spread.

The Turkic merchants loyal to Jieli were hesitant, but merchants like Xue Yantuo, who was under the Turkic tribe, started trading with Gyeongju.

The productivity of the grassland people is low, and the common daily necessities are exactly what they need.They have no special resources, and they can only trade with Datang with specialty cattle, sheep, horses and hunting leather.

In the past, they could only obtain daily necessities at high prices from black merchants or transshipment to several countries. Now they only need to enter Gyeongju to exchange for special products.Although the city entry tax and trade tax are not low, and there are restrictions on transactions, basic daily necessities plus some luxury items unique to the Central Plains are still profitable compared to the sky-high asking prices of unscrupulous black merchants.

At first, all the tribes in the north were adopting a wait-and-see attitude, but with the success of the Turkic merchants and Xueyantuo merchants of the Tuli Tribe, they became a model for all ethnic groups, and successively launched trade with the Gyeongju Free Market.Seeing this, Xieli also had people pretend to be businessmen from the Tuli tribe to come to trade. At first, he was afraid that it was a trick, and he was deeply afraid that Datang would use some "conspiracy" against him. Facts also proved that he was overthinking.Qingzhou opened its doors to do business, and Qin Feng didn't intend to ruin his name, he just turned a blind eye to these things.

Over time, Turkic traders no longer concealed their identities.

In their view, Qin Feng, the young governor, is very credible in terms of reputation.As long as you don't violate the agreement and make some shady deals, everything will be easy to talk about.

However, if you trade contraband, it will be miserable.

Among them, a Turkic tribe intended to take this opportunity to buy some salt from Datang, and was searched out.

Qin Feng unceremoniously killed all the merchants in the department, confiscated all their trade money and returned it to the treasury, and at the same time prohibited the people from the department from entering the territory of the three states. If found, they will be killed.

Qin Feng did what he said, and the tribe wanted to send someone to explain the easing, even the envoy was killed by him.

All of a sudden, those merchants with ulterior motives were shocked, and they also understood a truth. If you want to do business in Gyeongju, obeying the rules is the only way out.

Of course, the Datang businessman who traded contraband with the Turkic people in private was also having a hard time. The fate of the Turkic tribe was exactly the same. At the same time, his relatives in the Tang Dynasty were also implicated by him. Li Shimin, who strongly supported Qin Feng's reform, was dispatched to work in the Miaojiang area.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately frightened the smart businessmen in the Tang Dynasty. Anyone who does business in Gyeongju and other places obediently abides by the laws of the country.

This disturbance not only had the effect of killing chickens and monkeys, but also let businessmen all over the world know about the free trade market in Gyeongju. When the incident was raging, Qin Feng asked Li Shimin to send someone to help, so some The intelligence personnel of the Tang Empire, who were hidden in the city, all jumped out one after another, saying how much so-and-so made in Gyeongju, all of them spoke better than they sang, and they played the role of babysitter for Sanzhou for free.As a result, Gyeongju has become the focus of businessmen all over the world. They either send people to Gyeongju for investigation, and some small-scale ones even embark on the road to the north in person.

The grassland people lacked daily necessities, and the Central Plains people also lacked grassland specialties such as cattle, sheep, horses, and leather. Knowing that Gyeongju had these goods, businessmen from the Central Plains also poured into Gyeongju one after another.They don't have the concerns of the grassland people, and they have no scruples about opening a shop and renting a business space.Qin Feng has no special requirements for them, as long as they don't sell illegal products to the grassland people, they are welcome to come, and some conveniences and discounts can be promised.Of course, if he traded contraband with other races for profit, Qin Feng would relentlessly ransack his home and kill people.

As long as he is on this day, he will not allow such traitors to exist.

This ancient time is not as developed as the later generations, so it is not easy to be a ghost.In order to play a restrictive role as much as possible, Qin Feng also issued a rigid rule that he can come to Gyeongju for business.However, you must hand in a household registration certificate issued by the original government personnel and print the official seal. With the household registration in the hands of the Gyeongju Dudufu, the merchants became more honest and cautious.

Although the various regulations in Gyeongju appear to be very harsh, due to the existence of the free market, Gyeongju has the conditions to attract merchants, and Gyeongju's economy is naturally booming.In just two months, Gyeongju has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to when I first came here.

At the same time, Qin Feng also followed the example of later generations and vigorously promoted tourism.

Promote the vastness of the grassland to the Central Plains, attracting literati and local heroes to gallop on the Shuobei grassland.

This is a great way to see the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains. It is also a great elegance to be able to see the scenery of the Shuobei grassland.

It turned out that no one dared to risk his life to play in the grassland under the principle that a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall.

But now with Shuofang acting as the front line, Gyeongju, Suizhou, and Yanzhou are already on the second line of defense, and Lingzhou has the military god Li Jing, and Daizhou has the left Weiwei Li Ji, which puts the three sunken states at the forefront. Under the protection of the two, at present, except for business travellers, the foreigners in the grassland dare not approach the three states. Therefore, the land of the three states is very safe, and naturally it is loved by many literati and refined scholars.

In order to attract those who have abandoned their pens to join the army and literati to come and play, Qin Feng also tried his best to show off his coquettishness. When he was busy, he rode the sky punishment and galloped on the grassland, pretending to have a sudden inspiration. It only took less than ten days. , "created" twenty classic frontier poems.

After writing it down, he immediately ordered the horse to be sent to Chang'an City, and asked Zheng Liwan to use all resources to publish Qin Feng's collection of frontier poems in the shortest possible time.

Twenty poems include:
The solitary smoke in the desert is straight, and the sun is setting in the long river——The Envoy to the Fortress

Yazhang resigned from Fengque, and iron cavalry circled Dragon City.The snow is dark and the flag painting is withered, and the wind is mixed with the sound of drums. ——The "March in the Army"

The Yellow River is far above the white clouds, and there is an isolated city, Wanren Mountain.Why bamboo flute complain willow, spring is not degree Pass. - "Liangzhou Ci"

There is no city for thousands of miles in the wild clouds, and the rain and snow even connect the desert.Hu Yan wailed and flew every night, and Hu'er burst into tears. ——The "Ancient Congjun March"

The luminous cup of grape wine, if you want to drink the pipa, immediately urge it.Lord Grim drunk lying on the battlefield, how many people have fought in ancient times. - "Liangzhou Ci"

The yellow sand wears the golden armor in a hundred battles, and it will not return until it breaks Loulan. ——The "March in the Army, Part Three of the Seven Poems"

The bright moon in Qin Dynasty and the pass in Han Dynasty, the people who marched thousands of miles have not yet returned.But let the flying generals of Dragon City stay, and don't teach Huma to go to Yinshan. ——The "Out of the Race"

May I ask where the plum blossoms fall, the wind blows all over the Guanshan Mountain overnight. —— "Listening to the Piper on the Plug"

Suddenly, like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloomed.

The generals couldn't control their horns and bows.

The vast sea ran out of ice, and the sad clouds were bleak.
