Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

"It was Li Zhenlang, the eldest son of Li Shiji, the doctor of Jinziguanglu, who applied for the first gold member of Youjian Mall for his father." Tian Meng said seriously.

"Li Shiji?" Li Ke was a little confused, Li Shiji was Li Ji, and Li Ji changed his name to Li Ji after Li Ke's father Li Shimin died of illness in order to avoid the taboo of Li Shimin's name.

He didn't have much contact with Li Shiji, and Li Shiji hadn't been made a British Duke yet, so the two of them were just acquaintances.And Li Shiji was not from a powerful family, Li Jing was from the Danyang family of the Li family in Longxi, and Li Ke was from the Li family of Longxi.

However, although Li Shiji was born in an ordinary family, he experienced Tang Gaozu, Taizong, and Gaozong's three dynasties all his life, and also escaped Wu Zetian's attack on various courtiers of the Tang Dynasty. His political wisdom is not low.

This... The problem is that Li Ke is a little confused, is he optimistic about himself?The current requirement for gold members is to maintain no less than 50.00% of the amount in the account.

Forget it, since he has recharged this gold member, he can't let these gold members down.Hey, when his father came last time, he said that Li Jing went to attack Tuyuhun?Li Ke's thoughts were a little confused. He remembered that Tuyuhun was not destroyed until the late Tang Dynasty, but since he fought now, it was impossible to return without a result.

In the early days of the Tang Dynasty, there were almost no failed wars in the use of troops. Li Shimin's Tian Khan was not blown out, but actually fought.

So... It is possible that the leader of Tuyuhun surrendered. It is like that although the Eastern Turks were destroyed, the Turks were still there. It is just that the Turks have surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. In fact, these nomads are communicating The inconvenient present is an unfamiliar wolf.

As long as you are weak, I will immediately turn around and bite you, but one thing that cannot be said is that Datang’s deterrence towards nomads can also be said to be very strong, at least when these ethnic minorities who surrendered to Datang weakened in the late Tang Dynasty, There are still many loyal ministers, which is also miraculous.

Hey, this is the difference between historical records and reality. History only records the results and the approximate process, but no one knows what happened in the middle.

However, if he remembered correctly, the royal city of Tuyuhun seemed to be on the shore of Qinghai Lake, because there was a grassland, and for Tuyuhun, who was also a nomad, it was a place with lush water and grass.

Since Wangcheng is near Qinghai Lake, it is not far from Chaka Salt Lake. Getting Chaka Salt Lake means a large amount of table salt, which can be used similar to the drying method of sea salt in later generations.

The sun-dried sea salt production method first appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty, but because the technology was not up to standard, the decoction method was still used, so the production of salt in this era was difficult and costly.

The real success of sun-drying techniques came in the late Qing Dynasty, but it was naturally not difficult for Li Ke. He has a complete set of books on sun-drying sea salt, lake salt, and techniques for making refined salt.

In this way, it seems that one can achieve multiple goals at one stroke. Li Ke touched his chin and asked his firm to cooperate with Li Jing, Li Ji, or Hou Junji, and then cooperate with some local government soldiers to make a large amount of salt. The cost of salt is bound to bring terrible profits.

In this way, Datang had the reasons and financial resources to garrison troops in Tuyuhun, and part of the profits, whether it was cooperation with Li Ji, Li Jing, or Hou Junji, actually benefited the bottom-level soldiers in the end. Then he recruited another group of low-level soldiers.

There were many ancient Chinese dynasties who defeated nomads, but the reason why they were unable to control them was not because these dynasties did not want to garrison troops, but that in this era, the cost of garrisoning troops was too high for each dynasty to afford.

But one Chaka Salt Lake is enough for the Tang Dynasty to eat for hundreds of years, and the salt of Chaka Salt Lake is still a rare high-purity sodium chloride salt lake, unlike other salt lakes and sea salt, after drying, the other salts in it are also There are many, and it is difficult to eliminate these in this era.

There is a difference between a salt lake and a salt lake. Although many salt lakes are also salty, they are not even sodium chloride. For example, Lop Nur, which has not yet dried up in this era, is also called the Peacock Sea, which is a potassium salt lake.

Although potassium salt can also be eaten, it requires a lot of processes to turn it into edible potassium salt, which is not available in this era.

Well, no, I helped Lao Li solve his troubles, and then I have to ask him for some benefits.

Two days later, Yang Anning and the others are going back to Chang'an City, it is impossible to leave them for today's party.

"You are very important today. I will ask Tian Meng to find a few people to act as babysitters and give you rewards. Others will inevitably follow. You just accept it when the time comes. The money is your own income." Li Ke said.

"Your Highness, we..." Yang Li originally wanted to say that His Highness has given enough, we don't need these incomes.

But in the middle of her speech, Yang Anning tugged at her clothes, and then said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Highness."

There is a store in Shanhefang in the shopping mall. Many people received invitations today. Without exception, all the members came. After all, His Royal Highness the King of Shu said that today's performance is for them.

And all the money has been spent, so naturally I want to see the difference between this member.

Similarly, the number of non-members who come today is also more. In fact, there is a mall that has attracted many people since its establishment, but the food and performances every night in this mall have attracted more people!

There are no entertainment activities in this era, otherwise, Pingkang Square would not be so popular.

After Li Ke's adjustment, the songs sung by Yang Anning and the others have attracted too many people, because these compositions are very novel and completely different from the songs of this era, especially the songs played by the whole band, which stand out. An atmosphere!

Other brothels want to imitate, but this era is different from later generations. If you want to imitate here, first you have to find out who the target of imitation is.Second... If no one teaches, the threshold for this thing is not that low.

So this has created a daily evening performance in Youjian Mall, which is even more popular than the original Huiyue Tower.

Ash Lu tidied up his makeup at this moment and arrived at the entrance of the mall. He is now a Hu merchant from Dashi, and he came to Datang to do business.No one knew that he was actually a member of His Highness long ago. When their tribe was massacred by another tribe and their mother was snatched away, he escaped by chance and was taken in by His Highness's people.

After that, Ashil seemed to come to a whole new world. He had never felt that life was so bright. Before that, he believed in Changshengtian, but after that, he only believed in His Highness!

There are several important tasks today. For example, he personally invited many Hu merchants from the Western Regions, and some nobles from the 36 countries of the Western Regions to come here. Naturally, it is the money in their hands, so that they "willingly" submit to His Highness It is for their good to enshrine the money in the hands and contribute to His Highness's career.

Otherwise, would they have the honor to see His Highness's means of doing business?

In the respectful welcome of several maids, Ashil entered the hall and arrived at the performance venue. When he came here, he saw that many Hu businessmen whom he had invited and some who had not been invited by him had already arrived.

As soon as he came in, several maids in the hall immediately bowed down to salute respectfully, and the leading maid said in a loud voice: "Hello, Mr. Ashiri, may I ask if you are sitting in the hall or the box today?"

All the Hu merchants and the envoys from various countries in the West Lake were surprised. Why do these maids respect this Hu merchant so much?You must know that the Tang Dynasty is a kingdom of heaven, and they, the nobles of the Western Regions, came here, and the maids here never looked at them highly, but it was different for this person.

"Hall." Ashil said lightly.

"Please." The leading maid immediately led him to the front row of the hall to watch the performance, the best seat.

And that seat was already filled with many dignitaries of the Tang Dynasty, but they wanted to sit there before, but they were all persuaded by the maid to leave by saying that someone had reserved it.

And now, is it actually a Hu businessman? !All the dignitaries of the Tang Dynasty were immediately angry!In the Tang Dynasty, it was different from the later generations. In the Tang Dynasty, even a commoner on the street looked down on these barbarians. This was still in the Zhenguan period. After Gaozong's period, it will be the real coming of all nations!

"Why does he sit in the best position here?!" A noble disciple dissatisfied and said loudly.

"Returning to Mr., he is a distinguished silver member of Youjian Mall. His Highness the King of Shu said that here, in Youjian Mall, he and other members are the most honored guests because they trust His Highness the King of Shu. His Highness said that if If you have any questions, you can talk to him." The maid said softly.

Looking for the King of Shu theory?Uh...forget it, this gentry disciple sat down decisively, although he was unhappy, but with the King of Shu...forget it.

And he didn't notice that the eyes of those Hu merchants who could only sit in the corners were getting brighter and brighter!
