Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 393 Reactivating the Concept of Economic Warfare

Zhang Yi came out of the palace in a daze, and Lao Zhong rushed over to meet him.Zhang Yi didn't feel more comfortable until he got into his carriage.

He finally compromised with Li Er, because of Li Hui, because of the child in Li Hui's womb, so he compromised, he must marry Li Hui.

In fact, relatively speaking, Turks and Tubo are more difficult to deal with. Turks are better than Tubo in terms of weapons and equipment, the number of personnel, and even the number of war horses and various systems.

But one thing that is particularly bad about fighting Tubo is that the topographical factors and climate constraints are too great.

When Tubo attacked the Tang army, they could swoop down from the high plateau, but when the Tang army attacked Tubo, they had to raise their heads and rush from low to high.

This not only consumes a lot of physical strength for the Tang army, but also the oxygen content of the plateau is relatively low, and it is easy for soldiers to go into shock. Generally, if this situation occurs in battle, it will be a dead end.

The gap in ancient weapons was not so large that it exceeded the level of natural conditions, so even if the Tang army hated the Turks, they still had the power to fight, and even now the Tang army has defeated the powerful Turks.

However, the Tang army was not very willing to attack Tubo, because they had lost interest in attacking Tubo because of countless failures.

Now that the Tang army has defeated the Turks, the limelight is in full swing, but Tubo still doesn't worry that the Tang army will attack them. Instead, they take advantage of the Tang army's victory to plunder the Tang people on the border between the two countries.

The continuous urgent reports on the border made Li Er upset. He had just finished fighting the Turks, and before he had time to celebrate, the Tubo people over there began to make troubles again.

When he was upset, he naturally thought of Zhang Yi's previous remarks, using the power of the economy to disintegrate the fighting spirit of the Tubo people.

Although Li Er also won this piece of the world by fighting, he also has a very deep understanding of the power of the economy.

The economy of every era is developing. At this time, people’s lives are already inseparable from the economy. On a larger scale, a country with a strong economy can bully a poor country. If they can feed them enough, they will follow that person wholeheartedly.

And Zhang Yi's theory, taking advantage of what the Tang Dynasty is now able to produce but Tubo lacks, provides Tubo at a low price. The Tubo people will naturally be overjoyed when they get such great benefits.

For example, salt, compared to their high manufacturing costs, Datang provided them at a low price, so they would naturally choose to suspend production wisely and accept these gifts from Datang calmly.

And the amount of salt provided by Datang to them each time should not be too much, it is best to just maintain the balance line in their country, and they should not be allowed to have a surplus. If there is no surplus, they will not be able to hoard salt.

Datang can provide salt at a low price, and the Tubo people will definitely not make salt again. If things go on like this, their salt supply chain will inevitably be broken, and the amount of salt supplied by the Datang group cannot allow them to hoard salt. , or when Datang is unwilling to supply salt, then the Tubo people have to finish playing immediately.

Once people can't eat salt, it only takes a few days, and they will immediately become sallow and thin, and the whole person will be listless, and many people will even develop some diseases.

Soldiers have no salt to eat, so they can't fight at all, while the people have no salt to eat, so they either wait to die or rebel.

When the time is right and the Tang Dynasty cuts off the salt supply to Tubo, then the Tubo people really can only bow their heads and surrender. Of course, they can also choose to resist, but the final result is hard to say. The result of the first choice is good.

Chang'an is more than an hour away from Zhangjiazhuang. During this hour, Zhang Yi has already sorted out the order.

He and Xu Rou's big wedding date is scheduled for half a month later. Li Er has already sent someone to notify the Xu family. Zhang Yi feels that it is very necessary for him to take some time to visit Xu's mansion. Anyway, Since he couldn't push it away, he could only accept it calmly, and next, he had to establish a good relationship with the Xu family.

Moreover, after he married Xu Rou, he might go to the frontier again. At that time, Li Er would probably ask Xu Jingzong to be in charge of providing salt to Tubo, and he would send another general to lead the army. It may be a person who is in the middle of scheduling, the most laborious and thankless kind.

But now Zhang Yi doesn't care about that anymore. He doesn't want a high official position, nor does he want a high title. He just wants to get these things done as soon as possible, so that the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty will come soon.

When the Tang Dynasty enters the prosperous age, Tang Jun is invincible and invincible, and Li Er is not so difficult, he will be able to relax. At that time, he will be able to stay in Zhangjiazhuang with his own group of women and children to enjoy family happiness .

While Zhang Yi was thinking and making plans, the carriage had already driven back to Zhangjiazhuang from Chang'an.

It was already noon when Zhang Yi returned to Zhangjiazhuang, and the first thing he did when he returned to Zhangjiazhuang was not to have lunch with the old lady and others, but to go back to the room and sleep!
He hasn't had a good rest in the past few days. From the night he came back from Shuofang City until now, he has been in a state of nervous alert, and his whole body is tense, so that when he faces Li Er It seemed a little abnormal, less of the ease of the past and more hostile consciousness.

Seeing Zhang Yi's tired look, the old lady didn't ask anyone to call him, but just ordered Yun'er to get some food, and when Zhang Yi woke up, it would be fine to bring it to Zhang Yi's room for him to eat.

this world.Regardless of anyone, as long as it makes Zhang Yi unhappy, the old lady doesn't like it, even Li Er. Seeing Zhang Yi's tired look, the old lady was very angry, and almost cursed Li Er .

But seeing Li Hui, the old lady held back again. No matter what, Li Er was her own father-in-law, but this father-in-law used his son-in-law a bit harshly.

The old lady didn't know the current situation between Zhang Yi and Li Er, she was just imagining it out of thin air, and Zhang Yi didn't intend to tell them these things in order not to worry them.

Of course, the matter of His Majesty Li Er's marriage to him still has to be said, and this matter will have to be done in a special way in the future, and it must not be hidden from people.

The old lady must be happy to know this, but Li Hui and the others don't know how they are feeling.

Zhang Yi had no choice but to use Li Er as a shield. After all, His Majesty bestowed the marriage, he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to. If you want to scold him, you can scold Li Er.
