Chapter 30 Entertaining the messenger with glutinous rice bran

Pei Min looked at Aishet with a sarcastic look on his face and sneered in his heart! Thinking that he was the top scholar in the Tang Dynasty, he was playing classics and historical stories in front of him, and what was the difference between dancing a big sword in front of Guan Gong? How could he lose to a small alien race?

Aishot opened his mouth, unable to say a word.

He planned to convince him with the principles of China. The ancients used military forces and paid justice. Especially the ancients of China attached great importance to Tianhe and humanity, and advocated preferential treatment of prisoners, but did not want to get around Pei Min.

"Governor Pei..." Aishett knew that he could not continue the debate, so he forced himself to become invincible and said shamelessly: "You are making a point of being rude and showing the advantage of words!"

Pei Min didn't take this trick and said, "It's impossible to beat it, it's impossible to say it. If you want to scold, your maggot heart is not my opponent. If you want to fart, just let it go. Just fart honestly, just say something big truth in front of me."

"You..." Aishet had seen a savage and had never seen such a savage. The key is that the other party was not simply a savage, and the truth was better than him.

This ceremony was unreasonable, and Eschete could only choose to be as tough as Chimalun said.

"I won't compete with you for this quarrel!" Aishet said coldly: "Zamp asked me to give you an ultimatum. I, Tubo, treat you prisoners of the Tang Dynasty with good preferential treatment, but you humiliate me, Tubo warriors so much, and you cannot forgive me. You must treat me, Tubo warriors immediately, otherwise we will deal with you, Tang prisoners like you! You must know that in my Tubo, there are definitely more than a thousand prisoners of the Tang Dynasty, I..."

Bang!

A loud bang!

Pei Min laughed angry and slapped the table suddenly.

The desk was hit hard by him and jumped up, and the decorations on the table fell all over the floor.

He glared at his eyes and grinned and said, "Okay! Good treatment is good! Then I will accompany you! I have treated you badly! Come on, take the Tubo envoy down and treat you well!"

Aishot was inexplicably confused.

The soldiers who obeyed the order were also confused.

Pei Min said with gritted teeth: "I didn't hear this Tubo envoy say! Living in an animal shed, sleeping with animals, and having sex with animals is a preferential treatment. That's fine, we also treat the Tubo envoy in the same way! Take him into a pigpen, eat and drink with pigs, enjoy the best preferential treatment, and serve like heaven and earth!"

"You dare..." Aishet's face turned pale because of fear.

Pei Min sneered: "Do you dare or not, you will know later!"

"Wow, wow..." Aishet screamed in horror: "Help, help...Guo Pei, spare me..." His voice became less and less until it disappeared.

In order to take care of Aishett, Pei Min called another person and asked him to search for Taozhou and choose the dirtiest and smelliest pigpen to entertain Aishett.

Gu Xin, who came to hear the news, came to Pei Min with a terror and said, "Governor, the messenger is the face of the country. Do you treat the Tubo envoys like this, are you afraid that you will really anger the Tubo Zanpu. As they said, dealing with our people in Tubo in the same way?"

Pei Min waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, give them ten courage, they don't dare either."

Gu Xin didn't know where Pei Min got the courage, and looked confused.

Pei Min looked at Sun Zhou beside him and said, "Explain it to the Chief Secretary!"

Sun Zhou nodded: "There are more than 8 million households in the Tang Dynasty and more than 40 million people. They are almost not short of labor and have no demand for Tubo prisoners. The real Tubo people in Tubo are only three million, and the remaining 600 people are plundering and dependent other people. The Tubo plateau is barren, with extremely low grain production, and requires large-scale animal husbandry to make ends meet. For some reason, a large number of prisoners of war are needed to graze them. If they really take ruthless measures against the prisoners of war, they will only suffer."

Pei Min smiled and said, "So they just scare us. Even if it is not scare, I will not be afraid!" He paused and said, "As long as Tubo dares to do this, I will capture one Tubo person and kill one in the future until the clan is exterminated!"

Gu Xin couldn't help but shivered when he heard this.

Sun Zhou smiled "hehe" but said nothing.

Aishet's treatment soon spread in Taozhou. The people of Taozhou were excited and went to the pigpen from time to time to pay homage. The kind-hearted people gave the Tubo envoy a warm hospitality.

The news soon spread to Tubo and to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau!

When the old woman Chimalun learned about what Pei Min did, she was stunned for a while and was so angry that she collapsed on the ground. She had to choose to recuperate and ignore government affairs because of her discomfort. As long as she didn't die, even if she was just breathing a sigh of relief, no one would dare to bully his young grandson.

However, with Pei Min's appearance, the Hexi Jiuqu was threatened, and there were many conflicts within Tubo. As the matter added up, the court was unstable. She had to stand up again to take charge of the overall situation, which made Pei Min feel that she couldn't hold on.

After a long time, the elderly Tubo Wu Zhao had just recovered.

Thinking of his ruthless words before, Chimalun couldn't make up his mind.

This learning of Chinese culture has greatly improved the economic and cultural strength of Tubo. But as the saying goes, if you take a big step, you will easily get rid of the eggs.

It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

After the temptation of the flower world, the orthodox Tubo nobles have begun to enjoy life and have lost their hard-working qualities. They have disdained to grazing in other places, but rely on herding slaves.

Tubo has been in a stable development stage in the past ten years, and there has been no large-scale foreign war. There are not many herd slaves. If they really break their hands, their own people will have to make trouble with her.

"Send someone to contact the Emperor of Li Tang directly. Pei Min does not use common sense to make moves. If you look for him, you will only be humiliated. Many ministers in the Li Tang Dynasty are not as rogue as Pei Min, so you can say it!" Chimalun gave the order weakly.

************

Chang'an Imperial City!

Li Longji received three thousand cows from Pei Min that day and said to Gao Lishi with emotion: "Jingyuan is truly a straight minister, only he needs. I give him a reward. He made an unreserved contribution to the Tang Dynasty, which just solved my urgent needs, haha..."

Without the support of advanced technology, plowing oxen was the first labor force in ancient times and was the basis of crops. This is why there is a serious crime of killing oxen.

Li Longji attached great importance to agriculture and continued to reclaim fields during his reign. Historical books once recorded: "In the Kaiyuan period and Tianbao period, the farmer gained strength, and the mountains and valleys were gone, and the plows were also full." With his vigorous development, the per capita area was nearly ten acres. Of course, it is not that exaggerated now, but it is also constantly reclaiming wasteland to meet the needs of the national treasury.

The farming ability of three thousand oxen is no less than that of 100,000 people. The 3,000 oxen offered by Pei Min is enough to meet the needs of farmland in several states.

Gao Lishi smiled and said, "Since ancient times, wise men can be worthy of wise men. Only with a wise men like Your Majesty can one have a wise minister like governor Pei."

Although Li Longji knew that Gao Lishi was flattering, his heart was still very comfortable.

"By the way, Li Shi, what I arranged is done properly?" Li Longji didn't say anything, but he knew that Gao Li Shi must understand what he was saying.

really!

Gao Lishi said without thinking: "The little slave personally urged to select the outstanding talents in Taichang Temple, and specially set up the left and right sects to music, dance with the right sect and sing with the left sects."

After three years of exhibition, many things have been on the right track. Li Longji is no longer the same as before. He has endless business work every day and can take time to enrich his spare time. He loves music and dance. On a whim, he plans to set up a singing and dancing band himself for his daily entertainment.

"It's just that there is no good seat at the left and right sect. Now the place we live in is too small." Gao Lishi said with a look of guilt, his face full of frustration that he had not done the job well.

Li Longji pondered for a moment and said, "I remember that the Yiyuan built by Emperor Wu of Han was empty, with hundreds of pear trees inside, near Qujiangchi, the southeast corner of the city. When I was still the prince, I admired the pear blossoms there. So I arranged the left and right sects there, what do the heroes think?"

Gao Lishi's eyes lit up and said, "What a wonderful thing! There is nothing in this world that can be difficult for Your Majesty."

Li Longji said, "Then it's settled. Yiyuan doesn't sound nice, just call it Liyuan!" At this point, he suddenly sighed with a "alas" and said, "If Jingyuan is in Chang'an, the position of the Right Sect Fangsi is the one. The Left Sect Fangsi is my favorite Miss Chen, but she married Jingyuan, and I don't know when she will be able to dance with them."

Gao Lishi said: "Your Majesty, don't sigh. The little slave has appeared. Maybe he is not as good as the governor Pei, but it is also extraordinary. His name is Huang Banchuo's talent and moral character, all of which are first-class."

Li Longji's eyes lit up and he smiled and said, "Then I want to meet you well..." Before he finished speaking, he heard from someone outside the palace: "Your Majesty, there is a letter from the governor Pei!"

Li Longji said without hesitation: "Send the letter quickly."

Gao Lishi quickly walked out of the hall and took the letter and handed it to Li Longji.

Li Longji looked at the content of the letter and suddenly said with a "puff" sound, "Jingyuan is too nonsense! Aishet is also an envoy of Tubo after all, so he locked him in a pigpen, what does it look like." He continued to read, but his smile gradually calmed down, replaced by a little anger. After reading the letter, he sighed and said, "Jingyuan, you really have good intentions!"

He waved to Gao Lishi and said, "I am in no mood to see Huang Fanchuo next time. Call the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Personnel together, and discuss with them if you have any questions."

Not long after, the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Rites all came to the hall.

Li Longji sent Pei Min's letter to them.

The Minister of Rites was Pei Min's old friend He Zhizhang. Seeing Pei Min's "nonsense" in the first half of the letter, he couldn't help laughing. When he saw the end, he looked solemn and said, "Your Majesty, do you want me to receive the Tubo envoy?"
