I am the censor, at the beginning I denounced the empress

Chapter 132 Touching the interests of the majority
A few days later.

After the first discussion between Tuoba, Tang Can and the others, the Empress, Gao Yuanyi and the others.

Gao Chang and Daliang talked a few more times after Zhenbei Army agreed.

Neither the Empress nor Tuoba participated in it anymore.

Even Tang Can only went there on the first day, and never participated again.

But no matter what, Gaochang paid tribute at the price of the grassland, empty-handed and white wolves, in exchange for cheap things such as trade and farming, and it has been a great success.

The rest is to wait for the good seeds from Great Liang to be transported to Gaochang. After the winter, everything will start naturally and things will be on the right track.

only……

The empress still stayed in the camp of the Zhenbei Army, and was not in a hurry to return to the capital of God.

Occasionally, I will walk out of the camp and look at the northern grasslands.

At this time, Li Yaoshi would follow by his side, shaking his head slightly: "My lord, the opportunity has been missed."

The empress was silent.

The opportunity is not missed, but she let it go.

Erqing sighed, and said softly: "You can deal with the matter in the north, and it's almost time for me to go back."

"Yes."

At the same time, Tang Can was still in the royal court of Gaochang, step by step organizing others to burn bricks and prepare to build a house.

After staying in Gaochang for a long time, he also discovered the biggest difference between Gaochang and Great Liang.

Great Liang sticks to the Central Plains, and regards all other countries as foreign countries.

From the empress to the poor people, when they faced the foreign countries, they were all arrogant in their bones.

This kind of arrogance is based on the national power of Great Liang and the orthodoxy of the Central Plains.

In contrast, Gaochang has no such problem.

Apart from being not very friendly with Great Liang, Gaochang got along very well with the neighboring countries.

No matter whether it is business or intermarriage, there is no obstacle.

Even in the Gaochang royal court, many officials were from foreign races.

According to Tong Mingde's explanation, foreign officials are more effective than others in resolving tribal disputes and foreign disputes.

Tang Can strongly agrees with this.

In fact, it is just like the Jisizhou policy that has been used in the Central Plains since the Qin and Han Dynasties.

But Gaochang's policy is somewhat different.

After all, these foreigners are only officials in Gaochang, and they are responsible for assisting in the management of foreigners living in Gaochang and other political affairs, and there is no Jilin state.

"Actually, there is another benefit." Tang Can looked at Tong Mingde with a smile, and said softly: "Their existence will reduce the hostility of foreigners towards Gaochang."

"During this period of time, I noticed that there seem to be more and more foreigners coming to Gaochang."

Tong Mingde glanced at Tang Can in surprise, but he didn't expect him to see it so clearly.

Nodding his head, he immediately said, "There are indeed a few more."

"Actually, that's not exactly the case."

"Wait a little longer, until next spring, and you will know."

"To the north of Wangting, Yanran and Jinshan are already snowing heavily at this time, so many people will rush to Gaochang, and go back after the winter."

Tang Can was not surprised, but just smiled and said, "Have you ever thought about what would happen if they stayed in Gaochang?"

"Don't call me Privy Councilor. You're talking so hard that it makes my head hurt. If you want, just call me Lao Tong."

Tong Mingde interrupted casually, and then continued: "Stay, in fact, I have always wanted to stay."

"No matter what you do, you need people."

"In fact, everyone knows this."

"On the prairie, although you don't pay attention to the difficulty of leaving your homeland, you leave your homeland."

"But they also live by aquatic plants."

"There is no way to graze in winter, they come to Gaochang."

"But when the warm flowers bloom, they won't be able to keep it."

"What if they are not allowed to graze, or if they don't want to graze?" Tang Can waited until Tong Mingde finished speaking, then said softly.

Tong Mingde frowned slightly, and looked at Tang Can in puzzlement.

Suddenly, thinking of a possibility, his eyes lit up, and he blurted out: "You mean, let them work in Gaochang?"

"That's right." Tang Can has been thinking about this question for the past few days, and immediately said: "Gaochang is full of waste, whether it is building a house or farming, it needs a lot of people."

"These foreigners who come to Gaochang to escape the cold are the most suitable."

Tong Mingde raised his eyebrows, a little moved.

Just like Tang Can said, these foreigners are very good at what they do!
Especially, the Yanran people among them.

There is a saying in Great Liang, which is called Licheng Maid, Yan Ran Nu, and Yun Fuman.

The servant girl in Licheng got its name because the maidservant is well-behaved and sensible.

Yanran slave is named because Yanran slave eats less, works more, and has no temper.

As for the last one, Yunfu Man, it was because Yunfu's Manzi was brave, not afraid of death, extremely loyal, and the best at looking after the home and courtyard.

Among the people sheltering from the cold in Gaochang today, Yanran people are the most.

Moreover, they are all Yanran's poor.

If you want to keep them in Gaochang, it won't cost much money and food.

Even raising them for a few months is nothing more than taking care of a meal so that they don't starve to death, that's all.

but……

This matter is more complicated than Tang Can imagined.

In the royal court, Tuoba looked at Tang Can in embarrassment, a little guilty: "I told you at the beginning that there are many foreigners doing business in Gaochang."

"There are some foreigners who just... do Yanran slave business."

Tang Can has no intention of dwelling on the past, he just wants to bring things right.

Immediately said: "Nowadays Gaochang and Great Liang are open to trade, the food they need can be bought from Great Liang in a fair manner, and there is no need to continue to do Yanran slave business."

Tuoba hesitated.

After all, this kind of thing has been going on for a long time, and many people are involved.

If the line is cut directly, it will not only affect Yan Rannu's business.

There are even dishes arranged by Gao Chang in Daliang...

Dishes are what Tuoba cares most about.

"Your Majesty, you have to know what is right and what is wrong."

Tuoba seemed to be moved by Tang Can's persuasion, tangled for a moment, and nodded: "At this time, I will make arrangements alone, Tang Yushi can rest assured."

After finishing speaking, Tuoba changed the subject directly, and said with a smile: "Gu Kan Tang Yushi's mansion has been repaired in the past few days, when will you invite Gu to be a guest?"

"When it is repaired, I will invite the king to go."

"Then I'm waiting for Tang Yushi's invitation."

……

After saying a few words, Tang Can left naturally, while Tuoba ordered Long Qing to be summoned to the royal court and gave some instructions.

After a while, Long Qing returned to his tent, and when he told the matter, the faces of the people under him changed drastically, and they immediately started arguing.

"Why! When the surname Tang comes, it will ruin our business!"

"It's a year to make money at this time! How can I just let it go!"

"I contacted someone before and we agreed that Yan Rannu, who is thirty, will be sold for 100 taels each, and he will also give a gift to a little girl from the city."

"That's right, even if you don't talk about Li Cheng's little girl, there are so many children in our tribe who need to find a woman to have a child. If you don't sell Yanran slaves, there are still people who eat and drink!"

"That bastard surnamed Tang has bad intentions!"
