Time has passed, and Conbass has also sent him to rest, but the lights in Yang Yuanqing's official room are still bright. Yang Yuanqing stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, staring at the dark night sky for a long time. ()
On the table behind him was a memorial from Dunhuang County. This was a memorial written by Su Dingfang not long ago. The memorial told the re-rise of the Western Turks. The grandson of Datou Shekui unified the Western Turks and began to attack again.
Iron countries.
Nearly half of the more than 30 Tiel tribes in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains were conquered by him and became his vassal. The forces of the Western Turks had already arrived in Yiwu County, because Yiwu County was the only way to go south to Gaochang and Kucha.
Su Dingfang was very worried that the Western Turks would launch an offensive against Yiwu County.
Not only Su Dingfang was worried, but Yang Yuanqing was also extremely worried. Today he talked with Combas in detail, mainly to understand the situation of the Western Turks west of the Palacio. Judging from Combas' description, the Western Turks' rule in the West has stabilized.
.
At this time, Muhammad was still on the road of struggle, and Eastern Rome was in a state of drowsy life and dreams. The powerful Western Turks had no enemies in the West. If the West stabilized, then the Western Turks would inevitably launch a war of conquest against the East.
Of course, the Western Turkic swords did not necessarily point to the Sui Dynasty, but more to the Eastern Turkic period. This was what Yang Yuanqing expected, but the Western Turkic power would inevitably be inseparable from the Sui Dynasty during the expansion of the eastward process.
When interests conflict, the focus of this conflict is Yiwu County.
Yiwu County will be the bridgehead for the Sui Dynasty to enter the Western Regions, and it has extremely important strategic value, which puts Yang Yuanqing in a dilemma.
.........
The next morning, Yang Yuanqing went out as usual to prepare for court. Hundreds of guards turned over and came out of the royal palace bridge with their carriages.
Although the court and the country called for frugality and officials under the age of 60 were not allowed to ride in carriages, from a security perspective, this ban did not include the Seven Prime Ministers of Ziwei Pavilion and the King of Chu Yang Yuanqing.
Yang Yuanqing only slept at the second update last night. His sleep has not been very good these days, and he seemed a little tired. Yang Yuanqing leaned against the wall of the car, closed his eyes and rested, and his body swayed slightly as the car walked.
At this moment, a sound of running horse hooves suddenly came from a distance. Yang Yuanqing slowly opened his eyes and heard someone shouting: "Report to Your Highness, Mayi County Emergency Eagle Letter."
Yang Yuanqing suddenly sat upright, and the Eagle Messenger from Mayi County suddenly thought of the Northern Turks, "Take the Eagle Messenger!"
A personal soldier handed the Eagle Letter to Yang Yuanqing. Yang Yuanqing took the Eagle Letter and opened it to read it. The Eagle Letter said that the Turkish Jie Li Khan ascended the throne and sent an envoy to inform the Sui Dynasty. Now the envoy has entered the horse.
In the Yijun, the Sui army soldiers guarded the way to Taiyuan.
This news made Yang Yuanqing think in his mind and immediately ordered: "Go to Jinyang Palace quickly!"
Soon, the car drove into Jinyang Palace and stopped at Ziwei Pavilion. Yang Yuanqing went to the third floor. When he reached the stairs, he ordered his personal guards behind him, "Go and invite Prime Minister Du and Prime Minister Xiao Cui!"
The little Prime Minister Cui Junsu is Cui Junsu. Unlike the elderly Cui Hongyuan, his personal soldiers rushed away, and Yang Yuanqing went directly into his official room and walked into the room. Pei Qingsong stepped forward to take off his outer robe for Yang Yuanqing, and Yang Yuanqing ordered him again: "
Send someone to find Li Jing later!"
"I understand!"
Pei Qingsong retreated. As soon as he left the door, he turned back and said, "Your Highness, Prime Minister Du and Prime Minister Cui are here."
"Please come in!"
The door opened, Du Ruhui and Cui Junsu walked in. Yang Yuanqing waved his hand and smiled, "Sit down!"
Both of them didn't know what happened. Yang Yuanqing called them early in the morning. Something must have happened. Du Ruhui heard that something happened in the military weapon surveillance last night, and I wonder if it was related to Yang Yuanqing's search for them at this time.
The two sat down, and a tea boy came in to serve tea. Yang Yuanqing also sat down, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of hot tea, and then slowly said: "Today I got a news that Jie Li Khan, who had newly ascended the throne of the Turks, sent an envoy.
Come to the Great Sui Dynasty.”
Du Ruhui and Cui Junsu looked at each other. Cui Junsu was in charge of Turkic affairs and Turkic envoys arrived, but he didn't know that Cui Junsu was a little surprised and asked quickly: "Have the Turkic envoys arrived in Taiyuan?"
Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "I received a letter from the border army. The Turkic envoy had just entered the border of the Sui Dynasty."
Cui Junsu felt a little relieved. If the Turks entered Taiyuan but he didn't know, it would be his dereliction of duty. Since he had just entered the border, it would be much better.
Du Ruhui next to him asked again: "I don't know why the Turkic envoys arrived?"
Cui Junsu smiled, "It should be just a temptation. Last year we reached a reconciliation with the Turks and started official trade exchanges. This time, Jie Li ascended the throne, and naturally he would send envoys to inform him. At the same time, they might also want to get greater benefits.
”
"Then what greater benefits do they want?" Du Ruhui asked again.
Cui Junsu did not answer, but looked at Yang Yuanqing. Yang Yuanqing stood in front of the map beside the wall with his hands behind his back, staring at the vast grassland in the north. After a while, he said lightly: "The purpose of the Turks is very simple. Politically, they want to obtain it.
With an equal relationship with the Sui Dynasty, and economically, he wanted to obtain greater strategic resources."
Last year, the Sui army reached a reconciliation with the Turks, one of which was that the Turks admitted that the current Sui Dynasty was the inheritance of the original Sui Dynasty, which means that the current Sui Dynasty is still the sect leader of the Turks.
After the Turkic Khan ascended the throne, he needed to accept the enthronement of the Sui Dynasty. However, since the Wutu tribe of the Turkic Khan in the north disappeared, the Turkic Khan became stronger again. Especially Jie Li Khan was ambitious, he might not be willing to accept the Sui Dynasty becoming the Turkic Khan.
Sect leader country.
This time the Turkic envoys came, which must be seeking political apology. If the Turks really admitted that the Sui Dynasty was the sect leader, it should be Jie Li Khan who came to see him in person, but Jie Li Khan did not come. The Turkic attitude
It's a bit worth savoring.
After the Sui Dynasty established official trade ties with the Turks last year, only luxury goods such as tea, honey, silk, porcelain, etc. were allowed to be transported to the Turks, pig iron, bronze, grain and other strategic materials, but they were determined not to be transported to the Turks, and they were not allowed to be transported to the Turks, and they were not allowed to be allowed to be transported to the Turks, and private and Turks were not allowed to be allowed to be allowed to be transported to the Turks, and they were not allowed to be allowed to be private and Turks.
Trade, once found, it is a death sentence.
The Western Turks controlled the Silk Road and strictly prohibited Sogdian merchants from going to the Turks. Some time ago, the Sui army looted Goryeo and forced the King of Goryeo to sign many clauses, one of which was to strictly prohibit trade between Goryeo and Turks.
In this way, the Turks' various paths for obtaining pig iron were cut off, and they would inevitably come to seek the Sui Dynasty to lift the ban.
"This time the Turkic envoys arrived, no matter what, we must not let any trade allowance."
At this point, Yang Yuanqing was absolutely unambiguous. He knew very well that if he gave the iron tool to the Turks today, the Turks would use a sword made of iron tools to massacre the Sui people tomorrow.
"In addition, in order to show that our Great Sui Dynasty is equal in etiquette, Prime Minister Cui can go to Mayi County to welcome the arrival of Turkic envoys, and the people they sent were also Prime Minister."
"I understand and set off immediately."
...........
Cui Junsu went back to prepare first, but Du Ruhui stayed. Yang Yuanqing took a sip of tea and asked with a smile: "What is the response to the money entering the market?"
Three days ago, the court put the first batch of 3,000 silver coins into the market. Due to the light weight, it changed to 1 to 30 coins. However, Yang Yuanqing was very concerned about it.
Whether a currency can succeed is the best decision. The possibility of money flowing into the market is not large, after all, there is little, but Yang Yuanqing is preparing to put a lot of money into the market. With the continuous increase in silver production, money will eventually be obtained.
The same status as copper coins.
Now he has just begun to test whether Xing enters the market. It is crucial whether it can be popular in the market. Although Yang Yuanqing also knows that the effect will not be too bad, he is still worried without getting the exact news.
Du Ruhui smiled: "It's both expected, but it's also unexpected. The main reason is that the court has already heard the news in advance, so the silver and money were immediately exchanged. So far, no one has used it to buy items.
Almost all of them have been collected. The whole capital has been talking about this in the past two days. In a few days, I will be investing another 10,000 pieces to see the effects on the market.”
Yang Yuanqing took out more than a dozen silver coins from the drawer, gently weighed them in his hand, making a rustling sound, and said with a smile: "Wait until noon, I'll try the reaction on the market."
Du Ruhui also smiled, "If Your Highness really takes money to go public, I probably will cause some minor trouble."
But he didn't say anything about the trouble, and stood up and smiled, "I'm going to say goodbye first, it seems that someone outside wants to see Your Highness, and has been waiting for a long time."
Yang Yuanqing knew that the person outside must be Li Jing. He nodded and when Du Ruhui retreated, he ordered: "Let him come in!"
It has been more than half an hour since morning and Yang Yuanqing has not had a rest, but he cannot rest even if he has not finished some things.
The door opened and Li Jing walked in quickly. He is still the chief minister of the Chu Palace, the Chu Palace is in charge of the army, and Li Jing is responsible for the military affairs of the army. He can be regarded as the second largest figure in the army.
He walked into the room and bowed, "Since Li Jing, please see Your Highness!"
Since Yang Yuanqing was removed from the position of Taishi by self-demolishment, the title of ministers in the court has gradually changed. Many ministers have begun to claim themselves, and the military has gradually changed to him as His Highness and no longer called him the general manager.
, because the main manager is gradually increasing, which is easy to be confused.
"Thank you for your hard work in Changshi Li, please sit down!"
Li Jing sat down and said with a smile: "Everyone is asking when to fight Qingzhou. It has been a few months since I stopped fighting, and even my waist hurts a little."
"Wait for Qingzhou and wait for more than 100,000 young and strong people in Qingzhou to repair the water conservancy in Hebei for me. Once Qingzhou is captured, all these hungry people will run home. Where can I find labor?"
Li Jing couldn't help laughing, "If Dou Jiande knew that his highness had this idea, he would probably be so angry that he vomited blood."
"He should be grateful that he would have a few more months. If I were him, I would have tried to destroy Liu Heita as soon as possible and develop into Xuzhou and Sizhou. Perhaps there is still a little more.
Chance."
Yang Yuanqing just clicked on the matter in Qingzhou, and he immediately turned the topic back and pondered for a while. He said to Li Jing: "I invited you to tell you something. I plan to let you serve as the general manager of Daizhou and the supervisor of Yan.
