Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 479 Dig a hole for you (continued)
Fang Jun was still smiling, showing a fox-like smile: "More land and less land does not mean whether a country is strong or not. Is this the truth? You might say on the contrary, the more cities you occupy, the more powerful the country is. It's not unreasonable to say that, but it's obviously very ignorant! His Majesty the Emperor said a word, take copper as a mirror, you can correct your clothes, take people as a mirror, you can understand the pros and cons, take history as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall. Said to occupy a vast area, nothing is more than the Han Dynasty. Eight thousand miles from east to west, south to the coast, north to the polar regions, it was at its peak. But what? Such a powerful dynasty could not help but fall apart and annihilate. No matter how much Tubo occupies Can a city with a lot of land and plunder be comparable to a strong man?"

"This... is exactly the ambition of our generation of Tubo men."

Lu Dongzan was a little embarrassed and said.

Don't you know what to ask, boy, what kind of territory in Tubo, can it compare to the big man of the past in Qiangsheng?Not to mention our Tubo, it is your Tang Dynasty, which seems to be brimming with brocade and cooking oil, but if you want to catch up with the strong men of the past, it is unlikely.

However, in Fang Jun's remarks, there is one sentence that caught the attention of Lu Dongzan and Li Xiaogong...

Taking bronze as a mirror, you can correct your clothes, take people as a mirror, you can understand the gains and losses, and take history as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall.

Lu Dongzan praised in his heart that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was indeed extremely talented, wise and martial. This sentence is really good, and it is not much less than the sages of ancient times. Such a wise ruler is really a tragedy for me in Tubo...

And Li Xiaogong muttered in his heart, when did His Majesty say such a thing?If your Majesty said such a profoundly philosophical saying, it should be widely praised. Why have I never heard of it?

Fang Jun was young and laughed at his age. He stood up and filled the wine glasses in front of them. Then, sitting upright, he praised Lu Dong: "The prime minister is the prime minister of the Tubo country, a generation of outstanding people, and Taolu's knowledge is naturally far better than others. Even if I am in the Great Tang Dynasty, there are only a handful of people who can compete with the Great..."

Lu Dongzan was a little embarrassed, although he was very proud, he said modestly: "Erlang is wrong, Dongzan transforms people from other countries, often looking up to the heaven, and admiring those famous people today, how dare you compare with these sages? Great Tang Fenghua There are many beautiful people, outstanding people, and heroes, which are far beyond what Tubo can compare. Therefore, with the heart of a pilgrim, I came to the Tang Dynasty to ask for advice, learn, seek help, and visit those knowledgeable people more often. Cheese……"

Fang Jun nodded: "Well, so is one."

"Uh..." Lu Dongzan was stunned.

"Pfft", it was Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, who spit out a sip of wine...

Lu Dongzan looked at Fang Jun in amazement, and said to himself that I know you are shameless, but if you are so shameless, it's your fault, right?
Li Xiaogong, who was rude in front of others, was a little embarrassed, his old face was slightly red, and he reprimanded Fang Jun to cover up his gaffe: "Speak well! What kind of thing are you, you dare to recognize yourself as a person of insight?"

Fang Jun didn't care, he invited the three of them to drink.

"The two of you think that I am arrogant and shameless, then I ask the two of you, what is a person of insight?"

This question may seem simple, but it is very broad. Lu Dongzan pondered for a while, and replied solemnly: "If you can retreat to a certain world for the king, and then open up territory for the empire, you can be called a man of insight."

Li Xiaogong also replied: "With a splendid mind, everything in the world is in the heart, and can be called a man of insight."

Fang Jun held the wine glass and raised his eyebrows: "It's all right, but it's not perfect either. During the Han Dynasty, Liu Xiangliu Gengsheng said, 'All the people of insight in the world are those who have a cold heart and a sour nose. The temples will not eat blood.' Although a certain person is not talented, he is willing to learn from Liu Xiang, who is a cold hearted person in the world, and seeks to live a prosperous life without being invaded by cold and heat. Do you two think that this person can be regarded as a person of insight?"

The two were silent.

Without making fun of Fang Jun's behavior of dropping his book bag, Li Xiaogong cupped his hands and raised his glass: "People of insight in the world must have a seat for Erlang. This glass of wine is for those who are cold-hearted in the world!"

Lu Dongzan was also a little moved, raised his wine glass, and shouted: "Respect the world with a cold heart and a sour nose!"

A glass of strong wine entered his throat, his mood was agitated, his eyes were red, but he almost fell into tears.

It's not that I'm tired of spirits, but that I feel it.

If you talk about the world's cold heart and nose, are there more people than the people of Tubo?

I miss my Tubo people, who are stubborn and optimistic by nature, persevering and unyielding. They have the noblest beliefs and the most simple folk customs in the world, but they have to live on the plateau with cold wind, cold snow and freezing weather for generations, without clothes. Eat less, what day is not fighting with heaven and earth for survival?

In order to survive, we can only invade those warm lands, even a small city or a valley can grow more food and feed more people!
All the people in the world, why are only my descendants of Tubo, who must be imprisoned on this cold and desolate plateau for life and life, and bear the most vicious curse for life?
Talu Dongzan, just 33 years old this year, was born in the richest family in Tubo, but he has never enjoyed a rich life in a warm yurt with his wife and concubine sipping barley wine and buttered tea.

Since he was an adult, his footprints have traveled all over the mountains, rivers and rivers of the plateau, every mountain, every glacier, every river, every sunny slope... The cold wind and frost on the plateau made his young and handsome appearance He blew wrinkles like an old peasant, but he also sharpened his ideals as hard as iron!

He, Lu Dongzan, in this life and this life, devoted his years, even his own life, to the survival of the Tibetan people...

He doesn't want sweet wives and concubines, gold and silver treasures, and he doesn't want to seal wives and sons. He only wants to follow the great and heroic Zampo and fight for a warm and prosperous life for the descendants of the Tubo people!

Lu Dongzan's mood was agitated, and Fang Jun's slightly low voice came from his ears: "This kind of highland barley wine has excellent taste, and the method of brewing is very simple. Even the most ordinary people can be trained with a little training. Self-brewing. Since ancient times, salt, iron, and wine have been the most profitable industries. Daxiang, imagine if this highland barley wine can be welcomed by the people of the Tang Dynasty, how much profit it will bring to Tubo ?"

Lu Dongzan was shocked!

He opened his eyes instantly, looked at Fang Jun in disbelief, and asked in a trembling voice, "What can Erlang get from Tubo's profit?"

Fang Jun's words made Lu Dongzan immediately think of a lot of money!
If this kind of wine can really sell well all over the world as Fang Jun said, then the national power of Tubo will definitely rise more than one level!But Fang Jun is an official of the Tang Dynasty, the future emperor-in-law, and there is even a royal county king of the Tang Dynasty in front of him. He said these words, is he not afraid of being charged with a charge of sponsoring an enemy?

Fang Jun smiled and didn't care: "Everything in the world is for profit; everyone in the world is for profit. If someone is not a saint, let alone a Tubo, how could he take such a big risk and give it away for nothing? A prosperous and stable future for the people of Tubo?"

Once this highland barley wine is sold, it will not only bring a lot of tax revenue to Tibet, but also the most direct impact, a lot of profits will improve the lives of thousands of people in Tibet!
Isn't this what he has been pursuing all his life?
Lu Dongzan controlled his mood, stared at Fang Jun with burning eyes, and said solemnly, "What do you need?"

I swear in my heart that as long as Fang Jun's conditions are not too excessive, he will get this recipe if he goes back and gets blamed by Zamp!

Fang Jun glanced at Li Xiaogong who said nothing, and then said to Lu Dongzan: "It's very simple, from now on, the trade between Tubo and Datang will be managed by Dongdatang companies. Listen clearly, it's all! No matter what you want to buy or sell, you must go through the East Datang store!"

Lu Dongzan walked away full of entanglements.

How could he not know that there were actually royal elements in this turbulent Eastern Datang business?Fang Jun's proposal seemed a little dangerous to Lu Dongzan, because he couldn't see what Fang Jun was thinking...

It is not an order for Tubo to buy and sell, but only to stipulate that the transaction must go through the hands of the Eastern Datang firms.

It seemed logical, but Lu Dongzan felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Therefore, he did not give Fang Jun a definite answer, he must consider the pros and cons, even if he is bound to get the formula in Fang Jun's hand!

Seeing Lu Dongzan leave, Li Xiaogong sighed, looked at Fang Jun with complicated thoughts, and sighed: "Boy, are you playing with fire, do you know?"
