Chapter 620 Put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately
The Persian treasure was ultimately in vain.
Until now, Wen Wen still doesn't know whether the words of Prince Baluchi are true. Most of the words spoken by a desperate person are not credible.
Because when he was in the depths of hell, he couldn't see anyone else living a happier life than him, and he hoped that more people could stay in hell with him.
Whether there is a Prince of Balochistan or not, the Persian Protectorate will be established.
The existence or absence of some people has nothing to do with the overall situation.
Just like when Emperor Li Zhi consecrated the Protectorate of Mengchi, the Protectorate of Kunling, the Protectorate of Persia, the Protectorate of Dayuezhi, and the Protectorate of Kangju, he did not consider whether the local people were willing or not.
Li Zhi arrogantly believed that setting up so many protective offices at one time was actually for the benefit of the people of the Western Regions.
If the local people don't agree, let the Anxi Army talk to them carefully. In the end, the people in the Western Regions will eventually agree.
Wang Mingyuan, the doctor of Honglu Temple, still has three decrees in his arms that can be established immediately by just filling in the name.
He was very dissatisfied with the three extra blank edicts and thought it was the fault of Pei Xingjian and Xue Rengui.
It was because the Anxi Protectorate and the Beiting Protectorate failed to meet the emperor's expectations that there were more blank decree documents.
The emperor established so many official positions in the Western Regions, and each one required corresponding money, food, and materials.
Now, even if there are three more blank documents, Xue Rengui and Pei Xingjian must make up for the empty money and food.
For the Western Region, which had just suffered a large-scale white disaster, it was very difficult to collect so much money and food.
However, the emperor's will cannot be violated. If Xue Rengui, Pei Xingjian and the governor of Xizhou cannot fulfill the emperor's request, this will be the most terrible thing.
For these people, it is more terrifying than the black storm and the white disaster.
Yun Chu, Wen Wen, and Zhong Kui all knew that a violent expropriation of the people from the Western Regions was about to begin.
Just like the dark clouds on the horizon coming from the top of the mountain, they will eventually cover the bright sunshine and the clear blue sky.
Yunchu speeded up the business negotiations with the Great Eater. Under the principle of reciprocity, a huge camel caravan consisting of a thousand people will enter the Western Regions, cross the Western Regions, enter the Tang Dynasty from Yumen Pass, and finally arrive in Chang'an.
Similarly, there will be a huge caravan of more than a thousand people, mainly from the Tang Dynasty, that will enter Sasanian Persia, pass vertically through most of the food country, and finally reach the city of Kufa, known as the City of Ten Thousand Cities.
One of these two caravans is endorsed by Yusuf, the Eastern Governor of the Great Food Kingdom, and can refuse to pay taxes on the road. At the same time, they are protected by the army of the Great Food Country and have the right not to be robbed.
The other side is endorsed by Pei Xingjian, the Protectorate of Anxi in the Tang Dynasty. Similarly, it can refuse the taxes that need to be paid on the way. Similarly, if the caravan encounters danger, it has the right to ask for help from the local garrison.
The long-distance trade that has just begun is very risky. It will take at least three years to go back and forth. Therefore, the risk is very high and the profit is unknown. You need to carefully cultivate this little commercial flower until it finally bears fruit. Only later will taxes be discussed.
Yunchu once wanted to use the delicacies of the Tang Dynasty to deepen Yusuf's affection for the Tang Dynasty. Unfortunately, Yusuf's status as a cannibal confirmed that he had a stomach that belonged to the cannibal. As for the delicacies in the Tang Dynasty,
The reaction was mediocre.
He only likes to eat naan bread, mutton, chicken, onions, and carrots. After Yunchu mixed these things with rice, he made finger rice. This was the first time Yusuf found food amazing.
However, rice did not grow in the man-eating land, so Yusuf felt it was necessary to study Tianzhu, which was rich in rice.
The twenty-one cities ceded to the Tang Dynasty need to be replenished. Since the east has failed, it needs to be recovered from the west. This is a very simple idea.
After completing all negotiations, Yunchu gave Yusuf a prosthetic leg studded with gold and gems.
Yusuf put this prosthetic leg on the remaining leg. This thing was shining with gold and sparkling gems, which actually added a bit of nobility to Yusuf.
This prosthetic leg can even replace his original leg for walking. Apart from being a little heavy, everything is fine.
Yunchu received five hundred kilograms of gold as a gift from Yusuf, two sapphires the size of pigeon eggs, as blue as the sea and the sky, and various other odds and ends.
When Yunchu saw Yusuf off in person, Yusuf smiled and said: "I really look forward to going to Chang'an City to see if it is as grand, spectacular and beautiful as you said."
Yunchu took Yusuf's hand and smiled: "If you really arrive in Chang'an, you will be reluctant to leave."
"Each of the cannibal beauties are more precious than treasures, but you don't accept them. This is your loss."
"I'm worried that our emperor will ask for more after seeing such a beautiful Dashi Beauty. The reason why I don't want Dashi Beauty is entirely based on your position. Don't be ignorant of good and evil."
"The reason why you didn't give me the beauties of the Tang Dynasty was because you were worried that our caliphate would want more, which would make your Persian governor's palace unsafe, right?"
Yun Chu smiled and nodded: "Don't arouse the king's greed. Once it is aroused, it will be a disaster for everyone.
At the same time, it is also the responsibility of us ministers to prevent our respective kings from launching meaningless wars."
"I heard that one of your kings once sent an army to travel thousands of miles just for a few horses?"
"Our previous king, because others scolded him, went on an expedition thousands of miles away, scaring the king to death."
"Fortunately, our caliph is a wise elder and will not start a war over such boring things. Therefore, if you want to continue the friendship we have just established, you'd better be optimistic about your king..."
"Don't do anything to make him angry. When our king is angry, he will lay down millions of corpses and his blood will flow everywhere.
And I am tired of war, and I think that keeping the people well fed and drunk is truly good governance."
Yusuf walked away, and Yunchu saw him off. Unknowingly, the two of them walked into the army of foodies who came to welcome Yusuf home.
Seeing that he was surrounded by loyal and reliable subordinates, Yusuf raised his head and looked at Yunchu arrogantly and said: "If I don't allow you to go back now, what can you do?"
Yun Chu smiled and said: "You and I have become good friends, so naturally we live and die together. We live and die together."
Yusuf was helped up by his subordinates onto a beautiful large food war horse and said: "What if I change my mind?"
Yunchu stood in the midst of Wanjun and smiled and said: "This does not affect the fact that we live and die together. The emotions between us are as inseparable as the thread connecting the two of us."
Yusuf opened the gorgeous cloak given to him by Yunchu, looked at the two fist-sized thunder projectiles connected to the silk thread, and said, "You don't have to be so careful, I won't betray the covenant."
Yun Chu slowly dragged the silk thread away from the cannibal team and said as he walked: "Don't move around. This thing is still very unstable. Once it breaks, the two of us will really have the same year, month and day.
died."
Yusuf carefully watched Yun Chu go away until Yun Chu also mounted his horse and returned to the Tang army. He saw that Yun Chu had broken the silk thread.
Yusuf closed his eyes and waited for death. After waiting for a long time, but there was no movement, he waved to Yunchu in the distance and left with his people.
He secretly swore in his heart that he would never deal with the cunning Tang people in the future. These people were as cunning as loaches, fickle as foxes, cunning as vultures, and as swift as lions.
The cannibals are just humans, a group of upright, kind, pure people with a single belief. Unlike the Tang people, they believe in too many gods. Dealing with the Tang people will blaspheme their own gods.
It seems that only by dispatching villains from the Great Cannibal can we deal with the Tang people without being deceived by them.
The last gifts Yusuf gave to Yunchu were a thousand large food horses with coats as shiny as brocade.
This was also his final promise to Yun Chu.
Since Yunchu's purpose was not to fight against the Dashi Kingdom, nor to invade the territory that the Dashi Nation had already occupied, then giving this Tang man a thousand horses was nothing.
The Great Cannibals are born businessmen. They are willing to lead camels and go to the ends of the sky and the corners of the sea under the guidance of the gods. Now, in the far east, there is a huge city that surpasses Rome. The Great Cannibal Businessmen must be
Would be very interested to check it out.
All the goodwill that Yun Chu gave could not offset the hatred caused by Yusuf's loss of a leg. Even if Yun Chu replaced him with a gorgeous prosthetic leg, it would not be enough. A fake one is just a fake and not as useful as the original one.
.
However, Yun Chu's courage to follow him into the Dashi army forced Yusuf to restrain his anger.
During these days of living among the Tang people, he clearly understood one thing. The defeat of the Dashi people was not due to his carelessness, nor was it because the Dashi cavalry was not brave enough, but because the relationship between the Dashi army and the Tang army was indeed
There is a certain gap.
And this gap cannot be made up in a short time.
Cannibalism takes time.
This is the reason why Yusuf is willing to faithfully fulfill his promise. As for the friendship established with Yunchu, Yusuf thinks it is not important.
Yunchu stood at the head of the city and watched as Yusuf left the Persian Protectorate under the escort of the army. After completing the business deal with the cannibal, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Before coming to Sasanian Persia, Yunchu had been worried about whether he could accomplish this most important mission.
Fortunately, there is a rational Yusuf, which makes everything logical and reasonable.
Yunchu was very worried about the big cannibals preaching in the Western Regions, but he was not worried at all about the big cannibals preaching in Chang'an.
People in the Western Regions will feel happy as long as they hug the legs of a god. However, people in Chang'an have seen too many god legs. Not only are they many, there are also a steady stream of gods being created.
Therefore, the man-eating god does not have much to tempt people in the huge divine leg vegetable market in Chang'an.
After all, I heard that the most popular saying in Chang'an is - put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately.
This is the founding motto of Master Shandao, the master of the Zhongnan Mountain Pure Land Sect. It is really too deceptive.
Chapter 1: Our couple is taking our son on a blind date tonight. It’s a bit weird, but it’s very popular here in Gansu. I feel like it’s more like a process of two families getting to know each other.
