Valley Emperor

Vol 2 Chapter 2143: At least we can still be the knives of the Tang Dynasty

Although the problem of more people and less land has always existed, for the current Datang Empire, with the development of industry and commerce, more and more people have already poured into cities, and they have begun to gradually transform into industrial and commercial populations. Again, as before, they are all peasants who depend on the sky for food.

In other words, in fact, the method used by the Tang Dynasty to solve the contradiction between more people and less land, in addition to increasing the territory and immigrating to expand the arable land area, is more dependent on the development of industry and commerce to provide more jobs. .

At present, the proportion of urbanization in the local area of ​​East Asia has reached about 30%.

The rapid development of urbanization is mainly due to the economic development plan of the empire in recent years, which provides a large number of jobs in vast cities, especially in urban areas in remote areas, so as to promote a large number of rural surplus populations to work in cities.

Develop agricultural-related technologies, such as chemical fertilizers, build more water conservancy facilities, and open up new granaries to increase the yield per mu of grain. At the same time, the development of industry and commerce will provide a large number of new jobs. This is the solution of the current Datang Empire. The main program of the year's land conflicts.

As for purely expanding the territory and obtaining more arable land, this method is actually just a supplementary plan.

But unfortunately, in this meeting, everyone tacitly did not mention it.

Even if it is mentioned occasionally, it is from the perspective of expanding the arable area, obtaining more food supply, expanding the controllable mineral area, and obtaining more mineral resources.

After all, everyone has a unified concept, that is, to expand.

The meeting of the Imperial Study Room this time was just to find more reasonable reasons for expansion.

To put it bluntly, I want to set up an archway to make my expansion look more upright, and then convince myself and the people.

After the Yushufang meeting, He Bo, the Minister of the Imperial Library of the Tang Empire, and the Right Servant of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, summoned representatives of the Shunyi Dynasty to pay tribute in Shanghai.

The representative of the Shunyi Dynasty tribute, this is actually the diplomatic envoy of the Tatar Jin Kingdom to the Tang Dynasty.

But the reason why it is different from the official names of other indigenous countries, such as the minister of a certain country in the Tang Dynasty, is that the official country name of the Golden Kingdom of Tartar is the Golden Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty, and the King of Tartar is the Shunyi King of the Tang Dynasty canonized.

This Tang Jin Kingdom is a vassal state of the empire, and King Shunyi is a minister of the Son of Heaven. The Tatar Jin Kingdom believes that their status is special and cannot be confused with his native country. After the King Shunyi was conferred a few years ago, he wrote to him. Holy Son of Heaven, request to send diplomats to the Empire in the name of a tributary representative.

The Tang Empire actually rejected it at first, because there is no precedent for this, an envoy is an envoy, you can get a tribute to represent it, what is this...

However, the Tatar Jin Kingdom holds us to life and death as a vassal of the Tang Dynasty. We King Shunyi are also subjects of the Son of Heaven. We, the subjects of King Shunyi, are naturally subjects of the Son of Heaven. Since we are also subjects of the Son of Heaven, naturally we cannot What is the name of the envoy.

This name can't be messed up!

In the end, the people in the Tang Dynasty were also annoyed by them, and finally allowed them to use this special name.

Therefore, the diplomatic institutions of the Tatar Jin Kingdom in the Datang Empire are called differently from those of other indigenous countries. The leader is the representative of the Shunyi Dynasty of the Datang Dynasty, and the organization is called the representative office of the Shunyi King of the Datang Jin Kingdom in Shanghai.

Although the name is different, the work is still the same.

This time, He Bo, the right servant of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, summoned the representatives of the Shunyi Dynasty tribute, and mainly put forward several suggestions. For example, the empire will increase its support for the Shunyi King, provide a batch of muskets at a preferential price, and other various military supplies. batch.

In addition, he also said that when the Empire recently accepted some territories in Eastern Europe, it found that many indigenous people from the Ottoman region illegally smuggled in, and the Empire is deeply concerned about this.

The representative of the Shunyi Dynasty tribute is not stupid. Naturally, he knows what the Tang people want to say, nothing more than that they want their Tatars to go south to the Balkans to fight the Ottoman Kingdom.

Naturally, he did not dare to decide such a matter without authorization, and soon he borrowed Datang's telegram communication to report to Berlin.

Well, the information of the Shunyi Dynasty tribute representative was sent directly through the radio system of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the Datang military base in the Danish archipelago. After the local Datang military received the radio text, it was translated and then forwarded to the Tatars. !

If it weren't for the telegraph communication system of the Tang people, this back-and-forth communication would not have taken several years, and the Tang Dynasty didn't have so much time to waste!

So, in just a few days, King Shunyi, who was far away in Berlin, received this message.

"What do these Tang people want to do?" King Shunyi, who was wearing a Confucian robe and robe, stopped reading the telegram and handed the telegram to the courtier beside him. He continued: "Let's go to the Ottomans with weapons and military supplies. Didn't you do it?"

Several courtiers beside Shunyi King, some wearing Confucian robes, some wearing Tang business attire, one of the middle-aged men said: "If we promise, even if we can get 10,000 flash caps for free. Thirty smoothbore guns, and a batch of ammunition is included.”

"At the same time, we can also buy 30,000 flash cap percussion guns and 100 smoothbore guns at half price!"

"In addition, they also promised to increase the purchase of wool, timber, livestock, coal and other materials this year and next year. The overall purchase amount will be increased by about 20% compared with the original plan, which can further improve our economy. situation!"

"But these benefits require us to use the lives of our soldiers to win."

At this time, another person said: "Actually, it is not impossible to fight the Ottomans. If the Tang Dynasty pays to help us fight the Ottomans, then it will be a good thing, but they are obviously not like this. After that, they will definitely let us take the captured Balkans. Districts and beyond are cleaned up and handed over to them!"

"They want us to be knives and expand their territory for them!"

At this time, another person said: "What the Tang people want, everyone knows, it is nothing more than wanting territory, but they don't want people, and they are not willing to do it themselves!"

"Otherwise~www.wuxiaspot.com~ they won't find us!"

"The question is, do we have a choice?"

King Shunyi spoke at this time: "We don't have to choose, and the Tang people have a lot of candidates. If we don't agree, I'm afraid they will turn around and find others and give the same generous conditions!"

"There are more people who want to be the knives of the Tang Dynasty these days!"

King Shunyi's remarks silenced a group of ministers, because King Shunyi told the truth that they didn't want to face.

These days, I don't know how many kingdoms and tribes cried and cried and wanted to be knives for the Tang people but couldn't!

But there are not many things that can make the people of the Tang Dynasty take a fancy to!

King Shunyi sighed and said, "At least, we can still be knives for the people of the Tang Dynasty!"
