Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 22 Digging a Pit and Burying Itself
"There is no need to be too polite, we also admire Mr. Jin." Li Daozong raised his hand to signal for Jin Yu to sit down.

"The boy has no name and no name, and General Li loves him." Jin Yu still has a reputation for himself. He has only been in the Tang Dynasty for a few days, how can he be admired by a prince?

"Hehe, Jieli Khan admires Young Master Jin very much. We learned some anecdotes about Young Master Jin from him, so of course we admire him." Seeing Jin Yu's disbelief, Li Daozong explained.

"Jieli Khan?" Jin Yu was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood who Li Daozong was referring to, "Is General Li referring to that Turkic Khan? He wouldn't speak well of me, he might be scolding Niang behind his back."

"There are not many people who make Jieli think so much. If you can make him grit his teeth, you must have something special, right?" Li Daozong acquiesced to Jin Yu's speculation.

"No, the kid is a mortal, it was a coincidence, it just scared him, hehe."

"As the saying goes, you are not afraid of thieves stealing, but you are afraid of thieves thinking about it. Has Mr. Jin thought about how to deal with it?" Li Daozong asked.

"If you can't afford to provoke, you can afford to hide." Jin Yu waved his hand, not paying attention to it. Although he didn't know what happened to Booger Khan, Jin Yu still knew about the "Rule of Zhenguan".He didn't believe that there were foreigners who dared to make trouble during the Taiping period, let alone a foreigner who was reduced to a prisoner.

"Mr. Jin is really indifferent to fame and fortune. Such a big credit can be given to irrelevant people, and he can also have a tolerant attitude towards enemies who stare at you. You can teach a child." Li Daozong praised.

"General Li has been wrongly awarded. Can General Li not be called a boy, a boy can't afford it." The level on the opposite side is at least a major general, right?Jin Yu felt a little uncomfortable asking the major general to call him son.

"Oh? Then shall I call you son?" Li Daozong really mistook it for Jin Yu.

"The boy is a rough countryman, and there is no name. The two generals can call the boy Xiaojin or Xiaoyu. It's just that the boy didn't want to reveal his identity, so he used a pseudonym. I ask the two generals to forgive me." Jin Yu quickly confessed, he can I don't want to be called, I can't afford it!The boss asked Yang Yingyi to say that he didn't dare to explain the origin of the name, for fear of committing some taboo.

"Then I'm sorry, I'll call you Xiaoyu." Li Daozong was very hearty, but he was obviously not used to the title Xiaoyu.

"Hey." Jin Yu responded straightforwardly. It was not until later that Jin Yu realized that the reason why Li Daozong didn't give him a name today was because there was His Majesty Li Er behind him, and the son of Baqiao County, who was sealed by Li Er personally, returned the round. If Li Daozong didn't give the word, if he didn't have this awareness, Li Daozong wouldn't be one of the few royal families who could die well.

"Where is Xiaoyu's family name?" Li Daozong began to check the household registration.

"The boy is from the desert in the far west, and his ancestors `````` to avoid the chaos of war" Jin Yu became more and more proficient in the life experience he made up, and told the fake life experience again and again.

"Xiaoyu survived a catastrophe, and there must be future blessings. The deceased is dead, and it is a little thought of you to prepare more drinks during the Qingming. My Tang Dynasty is prosperous and the people are safe, and Xiaoyu can rest assured to settle down." Li Daozong comforted.

"Well, thank you General for your auspicious words." Jin Yu felt a little sorry for the famous general of the Tang Dynasty, who deceived him after just a few words.

"I heard from Jiang Shiren that Xiaoyu's martial arts skills are amazing, would Xiaoyu be willing to serve in our army?" Zhang Baoxiang next to him interjected.

"Thank you General Zhang and Brother Jiang for your favor. If you don't want to, you really can't. There is only one boy left in the boy's family. The sword has no eyes. If you die in battle, the boy's family will lose even a person who burns paper to sacrifice. Please forgive me, General." "Although Jin Yu has received formal military training, crossing is equivalent to dying once, Jin Yu just wants to live a good life, and finds a reason that is very important in this era to decline.

"The old man forced it." Zhang Baoxiang felt a little regretful.

"With Xiaoyu's talent, it doesn't have to be placed in the army. It will definitely shine in the court." Li Daozong tried to smooth things over.

"The boy dare not have unreasonable thoughts, but if the country is in trouble, the boy will not stand on the sidelines. He will serve the country with his own self." The 300-year-old Tang Dynasty is one of the most powerful eras recognized by the world. This is just the beginning In the end, what kind of national crisis can there be?Jin Yu only knew about the Tang Dynasty from history books, so how could a mere [-] characters understand a dynasty?Not knowing the political relations of this dynasty very well, Jin Yu had no choice but to be black-bellied and seek to protect himself first.

"It's rare that Xiaoyu has such a strong heart. I'm confused. I don't know if Xiaoyu can help me?" Li Daozong is still interested in Jinyu and wants to test him.

"The boy knows everything and can say everything, please tell General Li clearly." He felt a little guilty towards Li Daozong at first, and Li Daozong rescued him just now, Jin Yu said this very sincerely.

"The imperial court's national power is gradually growing, and now it has pacified the Turks. There are tens of thousands of surrenders. The territory that has been laid down cannot be cultivated, and the climate is cold. How should we deal with it?" Li Daozong said what he thought.

"Ah?" Jin Yu was dumbfounded and surprised, he didn't expect Li Daozong to ask such a big question, and it was a political matter.Jin Yu didn't have the confidence to answer well, and he didn't dare to speak nonsense.

"It's good to be straightforward." Li Daozong encouraged.

"You won't behead your head if you make a mistake, right?" Jin Yu asked cautiously.

"Haha, who did Xiaoyu listen to? How can there be such a thing?" Li Daozong laughed when he heard Jinyu ask such a non-level question.

"Then I'm relieved." Jin Yu smiled embarrassedly, and continued: "There is an uncle in my family named Mei Lijian, who once told the boy that he should treat opponents with 'a big stick in one hand, and a sweet date in the other hand'. "

"What do you mean by 'a big stick in one hand and a sweet date in the other'?" Li Daozong was puzzled.

"The big stick is for beating, hard beating, he hurts, cries, remember, don't dare anymore, give sweet dates, let him know the sweetness. Be sure to let the disobedient know: disobedient If you are about to be beaten, it will be beneficial to be obedient." Jin Yu copied the diplomatic methods of the later generations of the United States.

"It's been beaten now, how can I give the sweet dates?" Li Daozong continued to ask.

"The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the chaos of the world is for profit. It is mainly based on profit and temptation, supplemented by education, assimilation, and ease of learning."

"Tell me in detail." Li Daozong became interested.

"The intention of the Turkic people to invade our Tang Dynasty is nothing more than to covet our Tang Dynasty's richness, so let's use lures to make him rich. But as the defeated party, we must have a little awareness of the defeated party. First, let them stay where they are honestly, and secondly, let them not They have their own army, and the Tang army is responsible for their surrounding security. In the end, their leaders must be canonized by the Tang Dynasty to be effective, and they must pay tribute to them on a regular basis." Jin Yu took a sip of tea and continued: "Although the Turks don't know how to farm , but their horse herding is a unique skill, and we can't learn it, so let them graze for us in Datang, and we exchange food and money for their cattle, sheep and horses. As long as there is a stable source of food and money, they must be thinking of making trouble It’s less, who wants to spend a stable life but come here to stroke my Tang tiger’s beard and seek abuse?”

"It makes sense, let's continue." Li Daozong nodded.

"Education is to instill Confucianism in them, let them all strive to be gentlemen, feel ashamed to do it, recite poems and paint when they are full, and let go of the idea of ​​fighting for bravery. Easy to learn is to let them change their living habits and learn from us. The people of the Tang Dynasty are on the same level, and after a long time, they become assimilated, making them feel that they are from the Tang Dynasty, and they are family members with the Tang Dynasty. At this time, the imperial court will let go of some policies, such as allowing Turkic people to participate in our imperial examinations , as an official of the Tang Dynasty, as long as the propaganda is good, the Turkic people will regard themselves as the people of the Tang Dynasty, and they will be unanimous in the outside world. In the future, if there is another person who strokes the tiger's beard of my Datang, he will recruit the strong men of the Turks as the forwards. The remaining group of people are better managed and less able to fight against us."

"En." Li Daozong showed approval and encouraged Jin Yu to continue.

"At the same time, the imperial court should also pay attention to the export of technology. It is good to have a little more food than enough to eat. Gold, silver, jewelry, and porcelain allow them to exchange cattle, sheep and horses, and other various luxuries as long as they are willing to give money. But blacksmithing technology and other technologies related to production must not be passed on to the outside world.” Jin Yu pointed out seriously that many people in later generations did not realize this point, and when people say a few good words, they will reward the scientific research results that they have worked hard to develop. Others, in order to show their own supernatural demeanor.

"Xiaoyu is a great talent! Your majesty is thirsty for talents, and the reward for you has been sent to Lingzhou. You can pack up and go to Chang'an!" Li Daozong was very satisfied with the stunned expression of the Jinyu kid.
