Merton couldn''t help looking at Princess Guanghua and Murong Shun with emotion. They didn''t know their strength and the risks, but they still rushed to the seat like moths to the fire.
"If you agree, I can guarantee the prosperity of your mother and son in the Tang Dynasty," Gao Shilian urged.
Princess Guanghua shook her head and said with a ferocious face: "if the palace wanted to enjoy prosperity, it would not have left Chang''an City and came to Tuyuhun, a barbarian place."
For today''s day, Princess Guanghua has paid too much. How can she retreat because of the words of Gao Shilian and Merton? Even though he knows that Murong Shun''s throne is like a castle in the air, he is still willing to take this risk.
The dinner party broke up unhappily. Gao Shilian angrily walked out of the felt tent. Merton had to arch his hand at Princess Guanghua and get up to follow her away.
"Mother! These two are smart people. I''m afraid they can''t be effective today!" Murong Shun was offended.
The ferocity of Princess Guanghua''s face slowly disappeared, restored her solemn face, and calmly said, "looking at her mother''s face, Gao Shilian will not become an obstacle for us, but the real obstacle is the young Tang general."
"Mo Jia Zi!" Murong Shun frowned.
Princess Guanghua nodded and said, "the world is unified and loves non aggression. Today''s Mohist school makes the palace a little confused. However, this person''s talented mother did not exaggerate. Even if so many young talents in Chang''an City were competing with him like a firefly and bright moon, God bless Datang."
Murong Shun immediately felt a little dissatisfied.
Princess Guanghua said coldly, "this is just a short period of time. This person has gathered so many tribal hearts. If his mother doesn''t come forward today, I''m afraid the whole Tuyuhun will soon be taken back by the Tang Dynasty, and there will be no place for you, my mother and son."
Murong Shun could not help but flash a trace of fear in his eyes. He was cold at the thought of the endless means of Mohists.
"Send an order to King Xuan to let him be the prime minister, so that he can appease the large tribes and not buy pastures from Datang." Princess Guanghua thought.
Murong Shun frowned and said, "but king Xuan has always been loyal to his father. He must resent me. Will you listen to us?"
"If Tuyuhun can''t restore the country, he declares that the king is just a tribal leader. Only Tuyuhun can restore the country, he can have power. He won''t understand this truth." Princess Guanghua sneered.
"Yes!" Murong Shun nodded.
"The Mohist school is right. If you forcibly ascend the throne, it will be almost like a castle in the air, but as long as you balance the Tang Dynasty and the tribes, you don''t have no chance." Princess Guanghua said.
"What if there is a conflict between the Tang Dynasty and the tribe?" Murong Shun asked.
Princess Guanghua said without hesitation: "if you fall to Datang and offend the tribe, you can still enjoy glory and wealth even if you lose your position. If you offend Datang, even any tribe dare not take you in."
Murongshun was unwilling for a while. Finally, he had no choice but to say, "I understand!"
Not to mention the dialogue between Princess Guanghua and her son, Gao Shilian and Merton walked out of the felt tent and there was a silence on the road.
"Ask what you want! Don''t be so sneaky." Gao Shilian looked at Merton angrily.
Merton said with a smile, "Princess Guanghua must have been a man of the moment in Chang''an city!"
Gao Shilian couldn''t help but fall into memories and murmured, "at that time, the Guanghua princess was beautiful and generous and cheerful. People who wanted to pursue him could be said to row from the rosefinch gate to the Nancheng gate. Of course, I was no exception."
"Then why did she go and kiss Tuyuhun?" Merton didn''t understand.
"First, her background is low. Second, her character is too strong. In addition, a series of things have happened, which finally led to the road of reconciliation. Unfortunately, I didn''t have your talent and courage, otherwise I wouldn''t have happened today." Gao Shilian sighed.
His initial favor for Merton was probably that a young man was impassioned in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, shouting no marriage, no compensation, no land cutting, no tribute, the city guarded the country, and the king died..
If he had cheered, Princess Guanghua might not have today''s ending.
"Lord Gao can''t see murongshun''s situation. He''s afraid of being forced to that position. I''m afraid he can''t sit stably!" Merton flashed in his eyes.
"The Yang family''s pursuit of power is deeply rooted in the bone marrow. Even if they know there are risks, they will not give up." Gao Shilian snorted coldly. And he is also familiar with the character of Princess Guanghua. The more he blocks Princess Guanghua, the more determined he is.
"I''m afraid it''s not so convenient to get cattle and sheep from Tuyuhun in the future." Gao Shilian sighed.
"How much has Lord Gao raised for disaster relief?" Merton suddenly asked.
Gao Shilian suddenly had a meal. His eyes twinkled in the dark and said, "almost 50% of it!"
Merton breathed a sigh of relief, carefully calculated and said, "today, it seems that we can''t catch Tuyuhun, a sheep, and pull up the wool hard. However, the departments of Dangxiang and Xiqiang can still get a batch of cattle and sheep. It should make up 80%, plus the salt of Chaka salt lake, it should be close!"
Gao Shilian hesitated and said, "in that case, we can report to the court to see how the imperial court resettled Tuyuhun and Murong Shun."
Merton nodded.
Without a word overnight, the next day, all the tribes who came to buy pastures disappeared. Merton and Gao Shilian had expected this, which was not surprising.
"You have to think about it. Since you are not willing to buy pasture, each tribe needs to pay 10 horses, 10 cattle and 100 sheep as the right of use every year," Merton reminded.
A group of large tribal leaders immediately focused their attention on Murong Shun in the front. Murong Shun nodded and said, "don''t worry, I Tuyuhun''s departments know the rules of Murong."
Merton nodded and gave a big drink. Jue Ying immediately ran away.
This time, when Merton returned to Lanzhou, he also took a detour to the place of Qingtang and took the army to promote his unique Mohist skills. With the leadership of hule tribe and the lack of leaders in all departments of Dangxiang, Merton''s business was very smooth. When Merton returned to Lanzhou, tens of thousands of cattle and sheep followed behind him.
Then Gao Shilian ordered the army to take a giant magnet and walk around the Western Qiang departments. The Western Qiang departments defected one after another, offering cattle and sheep and buying pastures.
After delivering the huge orders from Datang merchants, Merton was relieved and finally completed 80% of the task of preparing disaster relief funds.
As for the remaining 20%, Merton has long had a plan, that is, the salt pool of Chaka Salt Lake. Although the salt storage of Chaerhan Salt Lake is more amazing, Chaerhan Salt Lake is located in the center of Qaidam Basin, with remote terrain and widespread deserts. Now it is not a good time to produce salt.
When Merton sold his ink skills everywhere, many herdsmen had brought a large amount of lake salt from Chaka Salt Lake to Shanzhou and soon transferred to Lanzhou city.
