In that day's hunting, the Turkic team and the Tang team's team did not harvest much prey in the end.In terms of overall numbers, the ranks of the Tang Dynasty are naturally inferior to those of the Turks; But in terms of average number, Datang is slightly better than the Turks.Although the Turks sent out a large number of warriors, many of them served as guards for officials and did not participate in hunting, which is one of the reasons.On the other hand, the entourage of the Tang Dynasty Mission is all capable people, especially Zhao Yunze's special combat team, which is the elite of the elite soldiers, and there are also some snipers with superb archery skills, so the hunting harvest is quite rich.The prey caught by two teams alone could not satisfy the lunch of nearly 3,000 people.However, the purpose of this hunt is mainly to play, and obtaining food is only a secondary purpose.At the time of departure, the Turks also brought a lot of food from the camp.At noon, a picnic with a unique desert style made everyone in the mission addicted.Zhao Deyan was probably afraid of Zhao Yunze, so he didn't go to Zhao Yunze's side at all.However, he lost his thinking power and kept pulling Zhao Yunze and Wen Yanbo to drink."
Lord Wen, Captain Zhao, your mission has brought a lot of goods this time.A certain cheeky remark, those goods, you don't want to sweat profusely.We are very willing to trade with Datang. ”When the wine was hot, he said to Wen Yanbo and Zhao Yunze with his tongue open.Between the Central Plains Dynasty and foreign races, there was a very strange way of trade in ancient times, called "Gongyi".The so-called tribute refers to the fact that when a foreign vassal sent an envoy to the Central Plains suzerain, it brought a large amount of goods to trade with the Central Plains Dynasty.This kind of transaction is delicate, and it does not mean that the two parties bargain directly like a businessman, but in the form of a courtesy.In other words, the goods brought by the vassal state were given as gifts to the Central Plains Dynasty.And the Central Plains Dynasty would also give gifts in return to the vassal missions.Often, for the sake of face, the Central Plains Dynasty gave back gifts to vassal missions that were far more valuable than the value of the gifts paid by the vassal states.To put it bluntly, this kind of tribute is that the Central Plains Dynasty spent money to buy face.It is precisely because of this that those vassal aliens who value interests will be willing to pay tribute to the Central Plains Dynasty.In this sense, although the ancient Central Plains Dynasty occupied the status of a suzerainty most of the time, it could not take advantage of it at all in its dealings with foreign races, but instead did a loss-making business.Conversely, when the Central Plains Dynasty sent an envoy to a foreign race, it would also bring a large amount of goods to trade with the foreign race.Of course, on the surface, it is a reward given by the Central Plains Dynasty to the vassal state.The vassal kingdom will naturally give some return gifts, but the value of this return gift is often lower than the "reward" given by the Central Plains Dynasty.It was another loss-making transaction, and the Central Plains Dynasty suffered inside and out.In the eyes of modern people, this kind of business done by the ancient Central Plains Dynasty is a bit stupid.But in the eyes of the ancients, the face of the court was more important than anything else.The status of a suzerainty is also more important than anything else.In fact, having said that, it is not only the ancients who spent money to buy face, but also in modern times, people are not the same.Li Ka-shing once said such philosophical words: When you put down your bottom line to make money, it means that you are already sensible; When you use money to earn back face, it means that you have succeeded; When you can make money with your face, it means that you are already a character; And when you stay there drinking, bragging, sleeping lazy, pretending to understand nothing, and only loving the so-called face, it means that this is the end of your life. ”After all, there are a few people who can become characters, and most of us can use money to earn face.Therefore, there is no need to criticize the behavior of the ancients.Without further ado, let's get down to business.It seems that he has indeed drunk a lot of alcohol, and he bluntly says that he wants to make a deal with the mission.Wen Yanbo smiled and said, "General Zhishi, my Datang mission didn't bring much goods this time, and I didn't think about exchanging it for anything.I make it clear to Your Majesty that these things are for the Khan of Jieli. ”As soon as he heard this, he looked disappointed and let out a long sigh.Wen Yanbo said again: "The status of the general in the Turks is comparable to that of the prime minister, even if Jieli Khan receives the gift from the mission, he will definitely give some to the ministry of the deacon." ”Zhizhi Sili was silent for a while, and said with a wry smile: "If it had been left two years ago, Jieli would not have been disadvantaged by my Zhizhi Department."
Even other tribes, Jieli will most likely give some rewards.But now, Jieli is no longer the ambitious, wise and martial Khan he used to be.He only covets enjoyment, and trusts Zhao Deyan who likes him.The rest of our Turkic tribes will not only no longer receive the reward of Jieli, but also the annual tribute tax will also increase by several points.The gift brought by your mission this time, I don't want to get a piece of the pie. ”Zhao Yunze listened coldly to the grumbling words of Zhi Zhi Si Li, and suddenly felt something, and hurriedly asked Zhi Zhi Zhi Si Li: "Zhi Zhi Zhi General, what about the little Khan of Tuli, will Jieli Khan not share a little of him" "Tu Li" Zhi Zhi Sili smiled coldly and said: "When Jieli used to use Tuli, he took care of his nephew in every way.But now, he longed to annex Tuli.Didn't you see that Tuli didn't even come to Yinshan this time, because he didn't dare to come.Not only Tuli, but also the leaders of many tribes did not dare to come to Yinshan.They are afraid of Jieli, alas, a certain really miss the grand occasion of the banner stretching for dozens of miles under the Yin Mountain, to say something ugly, two years ago, I sent 200,000 Turkic troops to fight under the city of Chang'an, and it was still quite beautiful at that time.But now, if there is another war, it would be good for Jieli to gather 100,000 wolf riders.Not to mention the Tang Dynasty, even the small tribe in the north, Xue Yantuo, can't beat it. ”It seems that he is really drunk, and as soon as he complains, he can't stop it.He continued: "The Turks have suffered from snowstorms every year in the past two years, and this is a natural disaster, and I can't say anything.But Jieli reused Zhao Deyan to change the rules of my Turks, causing the following tribes to complain, and that's it.As far as I know, Datang has also suffered natural disasters in the past two years, but your Datang has not damaged its vitality, on the other hand, my Turkic Alas, my vitality has been greatly damaged, and this is all because of the disaster bonus brought by it" "General Lost Executive, these are your Turkic internal affairs, and it is inconvenient for my Datang Mission to comment.Come on, come on, let's still have a bar.A toast to you" Zhao Yunze picked up the cup and drank the wine with his stubbornness.Wen Yanbo saw Zhao Yunze put out all the words of obsession, smiled playfully, picked up the wine glass, and continued to drink
