Chapter 2914 What kind of conspiracy is Cheng Sanlang? It's a conspiracy
As a man who has read poetry and books, admires the Tang Dynasty, and is familiar with the military and political affairs of the Tang Dynasty, Jin Bitan does not think that Cheng Sanlang is bragging. This is the fact.
Just like Li Simo, the leader of the Eastern Turks, who was defeated by Xue Yantuo. He crawled on the ground and hid at the feet of the Tang Dynasty, trembling and wiping tears.
The benevolent Tang Dynasty gave him a piece of territory on the grassland and let him go there and make a living by himself.
Of course, Datang still fulfilled its obligation and warned all the forces in the grassland not to bully my little brother.
As a result, Xue Yantuo's Zhenzhu Yinan Khan did not believe in evil and wanted to try it, but he died.
But a land without an owner, a land without an owner... Jin Bitan's originally dull eyes gradually began to shine with light.
"General Cheng San, you didn't trick me?"
"Brother Bitan, what did you say? How could I deceive you?" Cheng Chubi frowned in displeasure.
"What kind of person is Cheng? He always practices what he preaches. If he deceives you about such a big thing, what good will it do to Cheng?"
"Ah, I made a mistake. I am guilty..."
"Okay, okay, it doesn't have to be like this. Let me just say this. You must also know the capabilities of my Han and Tang Trading Company, right?"
"Before, a large island was discovered near Beihai Kingdom. It has a climate similar to that of Silla and is very rich in products."
"And there are several natural harbors. Although Cheng can't attack me, the Tang Dynasty Navy, it shouldn't be difficult to use the power of the Han and Tang Dynasty merchants to send you to that island."
"As for the problem that you are short of major generals, it is not impossible to solve. Our Han and Tang Commercial Bank can do business with those Goguryeo and Baekje."
"Just spend money to buy those prisoners of war and transfer them there. Cheng believes that there is no business in this world that our Han-Tang Trading Company cannot do."
Listening to Cheng Sanlang's words, Jin Bitan felt that Cheng Sanlang sitting in front of him was like a shining Buddha, compassionate and caring for the people of Silla.
But after all, he is also a man who has experienced many turmoils in officialdom, and he knows very well that there is never love without reason in this world.
Therefore, after suppressing his inner ecstasy, Jin Bitan began to seriously consider the feasibility of this matter.
At this time, Lian Zong on the side saluted Cheng Sanlang and asked in a low voice.
"General Cheng San, as far as I know, there seems to be a Mohe tribe on that island..."
"There were indeed several Mohe tribes living on that island before, but since our Han and Tang Dynasty merchants arrived there.
We had in-depth exchanges with those Mohe tribes, and finally we left the big island under the escort of our Han and Tang Trading Company."
Those Mohe tribes have entered the Beihai Kingdom, and the exchange process has gone smoothly. After all, the reputation of the Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty is almost unknown to everyone around the Tang Dynasty.
If there are those who are dissatisfied, then the Han and Tang Dynasties Commercial Bank will certainly not hesitate to show off the tough tactics of the largest trust company in the Tang Dynasty.
Hearing Lian Zong ask such a pertinent question made Jin Bitan very satisfied. The heart of this confidant was still towards him.
And he also asked a very relevant question.
"I dare to ask General Cheng San, what price do we need to pay in Silla?"
"You have been here for some time, and you must have dealt with the envoys from the Fuso Island countries."
"The price you need to pay is actually not complicated. It is just like the countries on Fuso Island trading with our Han and Tang trading houses.
Our Han and Tang Trading Company can provide you with food, cloth, farm tools, and even weapons. Whatever you want, you can get it from our Han and Tang Trading Company.
And our Han-Tang Trading Company needs the inexhaustible various minerals and products on that island..."
Cheng Chubi used his sharp tongue to persuade the powerful official of Silla in front of him.
It just so happens that the Fuso Island countries are also here as a living example. As long as they inquire, they will definitely be able to obtain this information from the Fuso Island countries.
In addition, Cheng Sanlang happened to have a large number of prisoners of war in his hands. The average height of these short men was less than 1.5 meters, and Cheng Chubi was not willing to give them all to the Fusang Island countries.
After all, most of these prisoners of war are elites who have received strict training before. If they are given to the Fuso Island countries, they will be allowed to develop their military.
So now it just happens to be thrown to the Silla people. I believe that the Silla people need this batch of strong laborers. In addition, they have no deal with the original Japanese country.
He will definitely treat these dwarfs as cattle and horses instead of arming them to kill him.
The Han and Tang Dynasty trading houses had already explored several mineral deposits on Sakhalin Island before, but the problem was that they lacked manpower.
Now, Silla has been destroyed and the country has been occupied. This has made Cheng, who has always had an endless imagination, suddenly come up with such a bold idea.
That is to try to bring these people, the Silla government-in-exile, who were alone, without a land, with few soldiers, and only a handful of important civil and military ministers, to be rebuilt on Kuyi Island.
Anyway, when the time comes, the original "Silla Twenty-One Articles" will definitely have to be revised and revised. As long as the Silla people's desire to restore the country does not die, it is impossible for them to not cooperate with the Tang Dynasty, or not to cooperate with the Han and Tang Dynasties.
Do business.
Think about how many people there were on Sakhalin Island in later generations, and that place was further north than the North Sea Kingdom, so the living environment was definitely not as good as the previous territory.
It just so happened that the Han and Tang Dynasty trading houses were needed to provide them with various living and survival materials to ensure that they could have enough food and clothing on Sakhalin Island.
Of course, they had to work hard on Sakhalin Island, dig more, and cut more trees. The Han and Tang dynasties could just use barter.
After all, the Tang Dynasty was a benevolent Celestial Kingdom, and would certainly not exploit neighboring countries excessively, but would only conduct various trades fairly and equitably.
As for the Han and Tang Dynasty merchants, they were not big merchants of human traffickers. They only transported prisoners of war and contributed their own small efforts to the reconstruction of the Silla Kingdom in the new place.
In short, all actions were quite righteous. After all, with Cheng Sanlang as the helmsman with a very moral bottom line, the Han and Tang Dynasty trading houses could not go wrong even if they wanted to.
As for what the commercial guilds of the Han and Tang dynasties will develop into in thirty or fifty years, who can predict.
Perhaps by that time, Cheng Sanlang had already left everything to his successor. He was either squatting at home and teasing his grandson, or writing books at Cheng University.
After Jin Bitan and Lian Zong respectfully sent Cheng Sanlang out of the courtyard, the smile on Jin Bitan's face gradually darkened.
"Why does the superior look like this? Could it be that General Cheng San has some conspiracy?"
"This is not, what kind of conspiracy is this? It's just a conspiracy..."
"..."
