Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1303 Lu Dongzan's Sorrow
There are many factions in Tubo, and the social class is much clearer than that of Tang Dynasty. Slaves will always be slaves, and nobles will always be nobles, which leads to extremely serious social divisions.Although Songtsan Gambo, who had the full support of the Gar family, was extremely prestigious and powerful, he still couldn't completely suppress the forces of all parties based on tribes.

There is no way, Tubo is too vast, too sparsely populated, and the environment is too harsh...

What method can be used to twist the loose Tubo into a rope, so as not to consume Tubo's meager vitality due to internal friction?This is a big problem that every generation of Zamp has been struggling with.Until Songtsan Gampo came to power, he found a simple and direct way, that is - war!
Keep launching wars in all directions, and use the dividends of war to unite all levels of Tubo!
It has to be said that this rapid expansion has greatly benefited the major powers in Tubo, and made all the forces in a state of disunity guard themselves in peace under the command of Songtsan Gampo. The unprecedented unity, and this unity makes Tubo's fighting power has reached a whole new level.

That's why Tubo dared to send troops to Tuyuhun!

That's why he dared to challenge Datang!
And taking advantage of this strength to forcibly marry a Tang princess is a clever plan that Lu Dongzan offered to Songtsan Gampo.In any case, Tubo's barren land and sparse population doomed it impossible to continue the strategy of "supporting war with war" for a long time. Lu Dongzan, who had already been entangled with Songtsan Gampo's interests, knew that only with Datang tightly maintained a close relationship in order to maintain the oppression of various forces within Tubo in the future.

It's a pity that after all the calculations, His Majesty the Emperor who didn't count the Tang Dynasty blatantly rejected Tubo's courtship strategy!The mighty Emperor His Majesty ignored Tubo's threats and provocations, and took an extremely tough stance.

threaten me?
Then fight!
And the one who is firm in Emperor Tang's will is Fang Jun in front of him...

Because of this, Lu Dongzan was once full of resentment towards Fang Jun.

But then, Fang Jun's idea of ​​"highland barley wine" was Lu Dongzan, who completely abandoned the little resentment in his heart, and he suddenly became enlightened!
Lu Dongzan is an ambitious person. The Gar family has always been the top existence in Tubo. Even Zanpu of all generations must maintain respect for the Gar family and try their best to win him over.Even though the Gar family is powerful, they have never been strong in their political pursuits. Lu Dongzan actually does not have much ambition, which has always been the case with his family.

On the contrary, his second son, Qinling Zanzhuo, behaved differently from his ancestors, full of ambitions for power and politics...

In Lu Dongzan's view, instead of pursuing the right to overshadow the sky with one hand, he should put all his efforts on how to improve the living conditions of the Tibetan people.Lu Dongzan chose the latter without hesitation between writing his name into the history books and allowing future generations to comment on his merits and demerits, and engraving his name into the hearts of the people to last forever.

The Gar family assisted Songtsan Gampo in unifying the various tribes in Tubo. Their original intention was to stabilize the chaotic situation in Tubo and strive for a peaceful and stable living environment for thousands of people.

So he vigorously promoted the brewing of highland barley wine in Tubo.

Facts have proved that his choice was correct. With the successful brewing of highland barley wine being exported to all parts of the Tang Dynasty, a huge amount of wealth poured into Tubo!

But it is also the same, which has led to violent turmoil in Tibet...

Lu Dongzan is not a fool, he naturally knows that the influx of a lot of wealth into Tubo will make the heroes of all parties covetous, and this is probably the real intention of Fang Jun's launch of this "Highland Barley Wine Project", in order to offset the internal corruption of Tubo. The potential for war and the ambition to expand abroad.

Since they can earn money steadily at home, who would want to risk their lives looting everywhere?
And once these wealth flows into Tubo, it will greatly stimulate the economy of Tubo, at least the price of highland barley, which is the raw material of highland barley wine, will skyrocket!Cheap grain hurts farmers. Once the price of grain rises, the most direct beneficiaries must be the common people.Even the slaves in those powerful families, because they need to reclaim a lot of wasteland to plant highland barley, should they be given an extra meal?

Lu Dongzan didn't care whether Tubo would gradually indulge in peace and happiness, lose his fierce fighting spirit and become a tiger without claws and claws. As long as the people could benefit from it, he thought it was worth it.If you are not from Tubo, you will never understand how barren and desolate the vast plateau is!
It's a pity that Lu Dongzan still underestimated the benefits brought by the highland barley wine, and even underestimated how weak the resistance of the Tibetan nobles was in the face of the tide of wealth brought by it...

"Now, the nobles in Tubo throw all the highland barley into the wine cellar, and the slaves in the family eat some weeds and bran every day. There is hardly a grain of grain for sale on the market..." Lu Dong praised sad face...

Who would have imagined that those nobles would become so crazy in front of money?
I would rather starve the slaves and all the Tubo civilians to death than let a grain of barley flow out and have them all throw it into the wine cellar to make wine!

In just one winter, the people in Tubo died of freezing and starving and countless efforts were made. Songtsan Gampo almost turned his hair gray, and even wanted to assemble an army to destroy several nobles and force them to relax food restrictions...

That is of course impossible.

Although Songtsan Gampo has the power to suppress all nobles in Tubo by virtue of his supreme prestige and the full support of the Gar family, if he really did that, it would be tantamount to a crazy act of cutting off his meridians, and the mighty Tubo would fall into civil strife in an instant , Pushing the people even more into dire straits...

Fang Jun said in surprise: "Really?"

Lu Dongzan looked at Fang Jun with a happy face, his face darkened instantly with anger, and he almost cursed!

Although I know that you have no good intentions when the highland barley wine is launched, and accepting the suggestion of highland barley wine is equivalent to tacitly willing to cooperate with Fang Jun's plan to make Tubo turn from war to stable economic construction, but you are so gloating really good?

Lu Dongzan held back his anger and said angrily: "That concerns countless Tubo people. Like the Han people, they all grew up under the blue sky and were blessed by Xinrao Miwo Buddha! Every living being should live happily, All should be respected!"

Fang Jun snorted.

respect?

When you enshrine your nobles with the wealth you looted from wars and wars, have you ever thought about respecting others?

He didn't know what kind of Buddha Xinrao Miwo Buddha was, and he really wanted to ask Lu Dong to praise: Since you have received the blessing of this Xinrao Miwo Buddha, why don't you ask it to bring you perfection and liberation, instead ask Come to Datang?
However, Fang Jun would not be stupid to ridicule this kind of issue involving belief.

He respects all the gods in the world, even if he doesn't believe in any god...

So he held back his sarcasm and asked, "Then why did the prime minister come here? Could it be to increase the price of highland barley wine? Well, this can be considered. We are old friends. As long as you speak, the prime minister will It’s not a big deal to improve a little.”

Lu Dongzan was going crazy...

Also improve?
The current price has already driven those aristocrats crazy. If it is raised again, wouldn’t the Tibetans not be able to eat a grain of barley?Although Tubo also has wheat and rice, but limited by the climate and soil, the planting scale is extremely rare. Once the highland barley is completely controlled by the mad nobles, how many Tubo people will starve to death!

Lu Dongzan finally understood that this Fang Jun was full of schemes and tricks, but also had a vicious heart!In his eyes, only the Han people are human beings, and they don't care about the life and death of the Tubo people!

Staring at Fang Jun, Lu Dongzan said: "I came here this time to ask Your Excellency to say a few words in front of the Tang Emperor, hoping that the Tang Dynasty can win Tubo's marriage proposal, and the two countries will become the kingdom of Weng and Son-in-Law forever." , a strip of water, forever good-neighborly, unarmed for a hundred generations!"

Fang Jun was stunned, and glanced at Li Xiaogong, who was beside him with an old god. It was obvious that the county prince knew Lu Dongzan's intentions in advance, and he didn't object.

What's the matter with the Tubo people, they still haven't given up on courting?

It's really a wolf's ambition, and he will never give up until he reaches his goal!

　I had a high fever of 39 degrees Celsius, and I had a toothache. I was suffering so badly that I forgot to ask for leave... Starting today, at least two shifts a day, if there is enough time, I will add shifts from time to time.Well, anyway, I don’t have the face to ask for votes... But if you really vote for me, then it’s true love, old man o((≧▽≦o)!!
