This morning court opened for a long time.

It was not until noon that it was dispersed.

When Li Shimin finally announced the severance of the dynasty, the civil and military officials in the dynasty seemed to be relieved. Whether it was civil officials of aristocratic families or new military officials, everyone bowed sincerely for the first time, and said together: "Give me a greeting to Your Majesty..."

Throughout the years, it is rare for emperors to receive the sincere respect of all ministers at the same time.

Li Shimin's hearty laughter rang for a long time.

The sales agency rights of all countries in the world have finally been allocated.

Next, it depends on how each family plunders interests!

...

Time is like reincarnation, and it takes five months in a flash. It seems that in just a blink of an eye, the slaughter of early winter has arrived again.

Northwest of the Tang Dynasty and the border of Longxi.

The world is vast, and the desert is filled with lonely smoke. This is a huge camp, with countless tents set up in the valley.

At the outermost side of the camp, thousands of camels were lying on the ground, forming a five or six circle of defensive walls to resist the wind, sand and coldness in the desert at night.

Inside the camel defense circle, there were also groups of yaks and sheep, but they did not gather together, but surrounded by various tents.

Many shepherds were lying vigilantly next to these animals.

A pile of bonfires can be seen everywhere in this huge camp. The flames are raging, and the aroma of barbecue is scattered.

Songs and laughter resounded in the night.

It spread far and far away, and it reached a small sand dune outside the camp.

...

But I saw an old man standing on the small sand dune, looking up at the starry sky with his hands under the moonlight. Suddenly, there were footsteps behind him, and a girl walked upstairs on the sand.

The girl held a cigarette pole in her hand and said respectfully: "The camel prophet, there is only the last bit of tobacco leaves left. After you smoke, you have to endure it. This place is still far from Youzhou, and there are tobacco leaves sold there..."

"Is that? Is it so fast?"

The Prophet Camel seemed stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "It's worthy of being a treasure made by the Han people. It's really more and more inseparable. We have just entered the border of the Tang Dynasty, and we didn't expect that the old Camel Camel's tobacco leaves have been smoked."

When he talked about this, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "What should I do? It's so uncomfortable to get addicted to smoking."

The girl pursed her lips, her expression seemed a little hesitant, and it took her a long time to tentatively speak: "Prophet Camel, can you even be without Han people's things?"

The Prophet of Tucao turned around, took the tobacco pole and lit it, took a sip, and spit out a squirt. Then he asked with a smile: "Murong Girl, the old Tucao understands what you are worried about."

There was a feeling of sadness in the girl's tone, and there was a hint of fear and bitterness. She gently opened her lips and said, "A pound of dry tobacco leaves is priced at two cows. This is just tobacco leaves, which is a luxury that nobles can enjoy, so we don't buy much, and the price we paid is not too high, but..."

The girl hesitated for a moment, suddenly plucked up the courage to look at the old tutu, and asked miserably: "But the Han people made more than these things, and the goods they sold made me feel scared."

The Prophet of Tuotu glanced at him and asked, "Murong, why do you feel fear?"

The girl's eyes were slightly red, and her voice suddenly became louder, and she said as if she was screaming: "Since we purchased in Youzhou five months ago, all the Tuyuhun merchants seemed to have been evil. They went crazy, they were crazy, and everyone wanted to come to the Han people to purchase, and then transport them back to Tuyuhun and sell them to make a fortune..."

The Tutu Prophet took another breath of cigarette and said with a smile: "Isn't this good? We Tuyuhun people are merchants. We have been doing business for generations, and everyone likes money in their hearts."

"No, that's not the case!"

The girl's voice was even louder, like the struggle of a man who fell into the water, and shouted again: "Camel Prophet, can't you even see the danger here? We Tuyuhun people are about to destroy our country. If this continues, we will inevitably kill our country."

The face of the camel prophet was solemn for the first time. He stared at the girl with a seemingly turbid but actually deep eyes and said slowly: "Murong Girl, you are too young. With your current age and experience, you are like a little lamb with unharmed horns. You think you have seen through everything, but you don't know that you only see the top layer."

The girl was obviously stunned and subconsciously said, "I only see through the top layer?"

The old man laughed and nodded kindly, and suddenly asked, "Do you think the old camel is already confused?"

The girl opened her mouth, but she did not dare to admit it.

The old man asked again: "And your father and the Tuyuhun nobles, they are all like old camels, staring at the treasures of the Han people. We seem to not think deeply about the future of Tuyuhun at all, and we only want to enjoy the luxury and wealth in front of us every day... Murong Yatou, are you talking about these things right?"

The girl nodded slightly and said sadly: "Yes!"

The old man smiled and sighed, suddenly reached out and stroked her head, and said earnestly: "Girl, remember, we can see farther than you, and even you can think of these problems. Can we elders not think of them? But from the beginning, we had never been worried about these problems... because we cannot resist."

"This is the upright plot of the Han people. They are not afraid of us seeing through or resisting!"

"And we ourselves cannot resist."

"Once you choose to resist, that is the real destruction of the country."

The girl was stunned for a moment, her pretty face was stunned, and she subconsciously said, "How is that possible?"

The old man took back his hand that gently stroked her forehead, looked up at the stars in the sky all night, and slowly said, "Girl, let the old Tutuo tell you what the general trend is. When all countries in this world start to use things made by the Han people, it is a general trend that no one can resist or resist. If a country chooses to resist, the country will inevitably be destroyed."

"Let me give an example. Tuyuhun and Loulan both belong to the Western Regions, but their ideas are completely opposite. It is precisely because of their different ideas that their attitudes towards Han goods are completely different..."

"We Tuyuhun people have been doing business for generations. Although we like money, we know how to be kind to others. Therefore, our merchants are not afraid of hardships and make profits through their own efforts. For example, this time, the Han people relaxed the restrictions on foreign goods sales, and we Tuyuhun people immediately came to do business thousands of miles away."

"But what about Loulan? They made another choice. The Loulan nation also loves money at its core. But they are different from us Tuyuhun people. The way they make money is to rely on the city to collect taxes..."

"I have explained this to you before. Loulan's land is very superior. They are close to the largest lake in the Western Regions and have the richest river in the country. Therefore, as early as the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains, Loulan was the top priority of the entire Western Regions business road."

"Any caravan doing business in the Western Regions must replenish drinking water and food in Loulan, rest on foot strength and relieve fatigue."

"This has led to the increasing importance of the existence of Loulan."

"After years, their hearts have become more and more proud."

"You can collect money by sitting at home, and you don't have to run around at all. Whenever a caravan arrives, they will collect as much tax as they want, because everyone has to stop in Loulan."

"The pride of their hearts makes them start to be arrogant. When the Han people opened restrictions on foreign trade, the Loulan people did not choose to make friends with the Han people."

"It is said that the business letter written by Gu Tianya to King Loulan was actually wiped by the arrogant king."

"The Loulan people have never purchased goods from the Han people."

"The Tuyuhun people are already the fifth one..."

The Prophet Tuo paused when he said this, looked at the girl with deep eyes again, and asked seriously: "Girl, tell me, what kind of ending will this lead to?"

The girl was slightly stunned, and then subconsciously said, "Is it the ending of Tuyuhun and Loulan?"

"Not bad!" The Camel Prophet nodded.

The girl was beautiful and frowned and pondered: "Those things from the Han people can make the nation continue to become stronger. Although I know that selling things to us is a kind of wealth plunder, I have to admit that their things are indeed helpful to us. For example, the magical drug vaccine used by young children can ensure that children will no longer die. As the vaccine continues to be used, our population in Tuyuhun will definitely continue to rise."

"At the same time, the Loulan people did not use vaccines for their children. Therefore, their population will be slowly dumped by us."

"Also, the various types of utensils sold to us by the Han people, such as those living utensils, can make the Tuyuhun people's lives easier, and those production utensils can help the people create wealth to a great extent."

"At the same time, the Loulan people did not purchase the Han people's equipment. They had less help from these equipment than us, and the people in the country gradually could not compare to our people. Although they could not see much behind the scenes at the moment, they would definitely be left behind as time goes by."

"When ten or twenty years later, the national strength of our Tuyuhun people became stronger, but what about Loulan? They still stood still."

At this time, the prophet camel smiled and said with a deep meaning: "At that time, Loulan still occupied a precious resting place for the Western Regions business roads. And because the Han people sold items to foreign tribes, there were more and more caravans in the Western Regions going to the Central Plains to do business. The more caravans, the more wealth Loulan people earned for tax collection. Will we bear it at that time?"

The girl's eyes were suddenly shocked and subconsciously blurted out: "You mean we might attack Loulan?"

The Tutu Prophet said with a leisurely look on his face and said with a smile: "The national strength is worse than us, but he is so rich. Why do we Tuyuhun people have to pay the money honestly? Why can't we save this expenditure?"

The old man stopped and his eyes suddenly became sarcastic, and he said, "What you just said about attacking Loulan is really a child who has not grown up? We are not just going to attack Loulan? We are going to launch the war to destroy the country. Girl, remember, there is no friendship between countries. The so-called Tuyuhun and Loulan have been intimate with each other for generations, and it is pure nonsense to put it in front of national interests."

The girl was stunned.

The Prophet Camel looked at her deeply and said earnestly: "Now, you should have figured out some confusion. Why can't we resist the plot of the Han people? Why do we still have to buy their goods even though we know that the Han people are plundering our wealth..."

"The reason is very simple. If we don't buy it, we will buy it in other countries."

"This is like the comparison between Loulan and Tuyuhun now. We continue to become stronger by using Han people's things, while Loulan continues to become weaker because of its resistance to Han people's things, and one day it will destroy the country."

"If we Tuyuhun people also resist the Han people as you said just now, then Murong Yatou, do you think Tuyuhun people will be the next Loulan?"

"This is the general trend that the old Tutuo wants to tell you. If a country resists the general trend, it will inevitably be destroyed."

The girl's face was stunned, standing frozen under the moon in a daze.

After a long time, she felt like a flash of inspiration in her mind and suddenly argued: "No, this trend has a flaw. If all the countries in the world unite and everyone will jointly resist the goods sold to us by the Han people, once that happens, there will be no situation where anyone becomes stronger and weaker..."

"Oh, what a silly girl."

The Prophet of Camel sighed, picked up the cigarette holder and took a breath, breathing leisurely, saying: "The situation you think of will only appear in fantasy."

The girl seemed to understand and came over, and her pretty face suddenly turned pale and bloodless, saying, "Yes, this situation can only exist in fantasy. Not to mention uniting all countries in the world, I am afraid that the countries in the Western Regions alone will have all kinds of thoughts. Maybe they will agree to unite on the surface, but secretly they will definitely secretly buy Han people's things, and then, after the national strength becomes stronger, they will destroy other people's countries."

The Camel Prophet sighed leisurely and said earnestly: "Girl, you finally figured it out. There is no vow between the country. If we unite everyone to resist the Han people's belongings, then we will inevitably end up like Loulan. The country is destroyed, the clan is destroyed..."

He stopped and looked at the girl, warning solemnly: "At that time, every Tuyuhun person would become someone else's slave."

The girl's delicate body trembled and fear appeared on her face.
