Chapter 1002: Abandoning the Darkness and Casting the Light to Break the Ice
Tang Jian stayed in Jiacheng for three days before leaving again.
A hundred tea leaves were left behind and they were directly given to Xifengbulai as a gift. Xifengbulai gave him a thousand Dangxiang horses as a return gift, and at the same time he handed his son and daughter to Tang Jian and asked him to take him back to Chang'an.
Xifeng made a decision on the matter without his father's consent. He didn't even choose a sister to go to Chang'an, but chose his own daughter. He was also a little cautious in this regard. It was better to be a father-in-law than to be a national uncle. In order to show sincerity, he did not send his younger brother to Chang'an, but directly sent his son.
I have been to Chang'an as a proton, but I am actually very clear that having the opportunity to stay in Chang'an for ten or eight years is definitely beneficial to his son. It can broaden his horizons and learn a lot of useful things. If his son returns to China in the future, he will inherit his position in the future, and Zhongyuan will be more at ease.
Therefore, the one who handed over to Tang Jian was his eldest son, an 18-year-old young man.
Before leaving, Xifeng Weiming asked his father in confusion, "Why don't you report to your grandfather for such a big thing first? And is it really the best choice to submit to Qin State?"
Xifengbu Lai tied a saddle for his eldest son in front of the city gate, and handed a bag of gold and silver to his son. "When you arrive in Chang'an, you will find that the world is so big that you will know how powerful the Han people are. There is a saying among the Han people: Yelang is arrogant, and there is also an idiom called "watching the sky in a well". Now many people in our tribe have only stayed in this small place all their lives. They have no idea how the outside world is, nor do they know the strength of the Han people. They only see the weakness and chaos of Helong after the Sui Rebellion, but they cannot see that the Central Plains have been reunified. A new emperor who is far superior to the two emperors of the Sui Dynasty is ruled by the world. Look at Goguryeo and see the fate of the Eastern Turks. Tang Jian is right, we are not their opponents, and we are not their opponents in total."
"Is Qin really that strong?"
Xifeng patted his son on the shoulder, "Yes, it's very strong. The eight tribes of our Party Xiang, and the strongest Tuoba tribe are only tens of thousands of cavalry warriors, but the Central Plains has millions of soldiers and tens of millions of people. Eastern Turks and Goguryeo are both great powers with 300,000 to 400,000 troops and horses, and they will still be destroyed by the Qin people."
In fact, he was also very opposed to his father's follower of Tuoba's troops to join Tubo, and even more opposed their heading north to attack Qin.
Xifeng turned his head and told his daughter who was riding on the horse, "My father knew to send you to Chang'an Palace, and he went thousands of miles away from the tribe's family, but this was for the tribe. When he arrived in Chang'an, he entered the Tai Chi Palace, remember one thing: Don't impulsively make your temper lose your temper, especially for the Emperor of Qin, and also, find a way to please the emperor, make your belly bigger as soon as possible, and give birth to a baby, preferably a baby with a hand, so that your status in the palace will be much higher, and your mother is noble for her son, and our tribe has a prince and nephew, which can also improve its status."
"Actually, I really want to give your brother a princess or princess. However, this Emperor of Qin is different from the Emperor of Han and Wei. He actually established a national training to not marry a princess, which is a pity." As he said that, he turned to his son and said, "When he arrived in Chang'an, remember to make more friends, don't be afraid of spending money. Aye will send you another way when he has no money. Make more friends, so you will have more ways, especially remember to make more friends with the nobles and nobles, but remember not to make friends with the prince's clan, remember."
“Why?”
"Although the crown prince, the other princes have a respectable status, they are also very dangerous. If one is not good, they may not have any trouble in the battle for the crown prince, but others may become fish. If you have the opportunity, if you can marry the daughter of the prime minister and nobles in the court, even if you are a concubine, it is very good. If you are not good, you will still marry the daughter of the Han gentry. This will be of great help to you in the Central Plains. Even if you come back in the future, if you have a Han wife and give birth to a child, you will be close to them and be regarded as half of your own."
What Feng Bulai said was all the years he spent in Chang'an and later realized after he came back. He just failed to marry a daughter of a Han nobleman and aristocratic family.
The young Xifeng Weiming asked curiously, "Father, is everything Tang Jian said true? When we go to Chang'an, the emperor of Qin will issue an edict to appoint his grandfather as King Dangxiang?"
Xifeng Bulai just smiled.
Of course, things would not be that simple. He sent his daughter to the palace and his son as a magistrate, but he only expressed a little sincerity. If he wanted to be King Dangxiang, he had to have a letter of surrender. This letter of surrender was to destroy the Tuoba tribe.
Only by destroying the strongest Tuoba tribe among the eight Dangxiang tribes can they truly be enthroned by King Dangxiang.
Of course, if the Qin army did not send troops, it would be impossible for the Seifeng Bu Lai to fight with the Tuoba tribe alone. If the rabbits do not show eagles, his Seifeng tribe could join the Qin army and become the vanguard of the Qin army, but he would never fight alone.
"Let's go, cross the snow mountain in front, and you will leave the protection of the tribe. Remember to clamp your tails outside to be a human being."
Xifeng Weiming stood beside the horse, knelt down, and kowtowed to his father.
My daughter also bowed to him.
Tears flashed in Xifeng Bulai's eyes, feeling reluctant to leave.
In front, Tang Jian did not come to disturb their family's farewell, but just stood there and watched the group of Dangxiangma.
The group of people in the horse gang that he came with were all amazed at how good the shopkeeper Tang was able to do business. In three days, he sold all 12,000 kilograms of tea. The key was that the price was too good. Ten thousand kilograms of tea actually received a thousand good horses. There was nothing else in this business.
The old man who led the team even came over with a shy face to ask for the secret.
After all, a good Dangxiang horse can usually get more than 100 kilograms of tea. But now, in fact, a good horse has only received about 100 kilograms of tea.
"Actually, it's very simple. My tea is not ordinary tea, it's good tea."
The old man looked disbelief. When they crossed the snow-capped mountains, more than a dozen horses died. They took off the tea from the horse and packed it with them. He had seen it, just ordinary black tea. Even if it was an ordinary Dangxiang horse, it would have to be exchanged for 40 kilograms of tea.
"What do I lie to you? Look, the nobleman of Xifeng is very satisfied with my tea. Not only did he give me a thousand good horses, but he also sent his son to come back with me, preparing to buy more of this good tea." He smiled casually, "In the future, the Qiangs in the West Mountain will definitely be the richest in the Dangxiang Xifeng tribe. They have a good vision and can see it accurately."
The old man was puzzled and couldn't find out why, so he turned to the second best, "Shopkeeper Tang, look at our business so smoothly. Will we still take care of our horse gang?"
"This is natural. I will come to you next time I come." Tang Jian was in a good mood and said happily.
