Chapter 1,184: Tributes from All Tribes
When the letter from Ma Chang, the governor of Longyou, came to Liu Feng, Liu Feng was also very surprised that the Xueshan tribe came to pay tribute.
Immediately, Liu Feng summoned the general who controlled the west, the general who protected the northwest Pang Tong, as well as the left and right military advisers Jia Xu, Liu Ye, and the chief minister Deng Zhi to discuss in the hall of the general's mansion.
"The Snow Mountain Clan's coming to pay tribute is beyond Gu's expectation. I wonder what you all think?" Liu Feng asked from the top seat, holding the list of tribute gifts from the Snow Mountain Clan in his hand.
On the list, it is written that one thousand war horses, three thousand cattle and sheep, one thousand gold, and thirty thousand furs. It is a generous gift.[
"The tribes of the grasslands are fighting for each other, and they are extremely cruel, and they respect the strong the most. The general sent troops to destroy the Qiang, which made all the tribes frightened. This is called tribute. I am afraid that they want to find out what the general says and what the Han people say.
The strategy for dealing with the northwest in the future. This is a matter of showing prestige, so the general does not have to worry."
To Liu Feng's surprise, Jia Xu spoke first.
Although Jia Xu has returned home at this moment, it is still rare for him to speak first. Liu Feng was not surprised when he heard this, but he was relieved immediately.
Jia Xu is from Guzang, Liangzhou. He has some affection for his state and some hatred for foreigners. He understands that it is natural for him to speak at this moment.
"Wen He is right, it's not a bad thing, it's a matter of showing off one's prestige." Liu Ye also nodded and said.
"Not only that, the general can also take this opportunity to intimidate the foreigners and make the Western Region unobstructed. Reopen the Silk Road and enrich the national treasury."
Pang Tong also interjected.
Liu Ye's words were fine, but Pang Tong's words made Liu Feng's eyes light up.
The Silk Road. This is a famous ancient trade route that began in the Han Dynasty and flourished in the Tang Dynasty. Historical records show that during the Tang Dynasty, the Silk Road reached its peak, and the exchanges of merchants from various countries in the Western Regions greatly promoted
the prosperity of the country.
This is really wonderful.
What's more, the Han Dynasty is still fighting in various places. Although it is supported by Jingchu's wealth, it is still very short of money.
How wonderful it would be if there was such a trade route with abundant financial resources.
Thinking about it, Liu Feng couldn't help but feel hot. Then, Liu Feng realized another sentence of Pang Tong and asked: "You think, not only the Snow Mountain tribe will come to court?"
"Exactly, I'm afraid that all the large and small armies in the northwest will send people to come to court." Pang Tong nodded with a smile.
"Okay, then I'll just wait."
Liu Feng laughed loudly and said, extremely cheerful.
As Pang Tong expected, after passing through the Snow Mountain Clan, twenty-eight forces from the Western Region, including the Loulan Kingdom, the Majuan Kingdom, the Tianlang Clan, the Hupo Clan and other well-known clans and powers, sent envoys.
The minister arrived at Jincheng.
Liu Feng has not yet seen the opening of the Silk Road, but the arrival of these twenty-eight Western Region forces and the tributes they brought have already made Liu Feng a little rich.
During the Northwest War, in order to develop the people, Liu Feng distributed all the harvest to the soldiers, which did not bring any benefit to the court's income. In addition, Xianyang was flooded, causing hundreds of thousands of people to suffer. Not only did the court have no income, but it spent countless amounts.

The mountains of cattle, sheep, furs, gold and silver, war horses, and some treasures brought by these twenty-eight forces have indeed provided some nourishment to the national treasury.
