0677 Tea Horse Trading, Xikang for the country

Although there are laws to learn how to govern Tubo in history, Li Tong's idea also deeply considers the current historical background.

At present, the game relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, or the Daxingtai and Tubo cannot completely gain the upper hand, so there is no need to expect the upper-class Tubo people to cooperate and vigorously promote the Dharma through official promotion.

Historically, Buddhism was able to occupy a mainstream position in the religious field of Tubo, which was closely related to Zamp's centralization process. Without the full support of those in power, large-scale construction of religious places and large-scale preaching and preaching could not be mentioned.

This is also one of the reasons why Li Tong chose to start with Tubo women. Women are relatively more emotional and have a higher acceptance of this kind of sutra lecture notes. This can be clearly felt from the state of the Tang Dynasty. The palace maids in the inner garden are half-Buddhists, even if they are simply flirting with food, they must worship Buddha first.

Moreover, women's consumption concepts are more passionate, and the actual return rate is not too high. Li Tong's grandfather and his grandmother are both prodigal experts, but his grandfather, Emperor Gaozong, is mainly expanding territory. As for his grandmother, he is just a poor person, as long as I think, don't you think.

Fortunately, Li Tong turned the tables early, otherwise the construction of the Shendu Luoyang would have been built, such as the famous Tianshu and the Sanyang Palace in Songshan, before they could even be built, the Wu family had a turnaround.

Of course, if Li Tong's idea is implemented and the specific effect is another key factor, that is, how much Tubo women account for influencing family property. This is also one of the reasons why Li Tong planned to fight against Tubo, and to improve the family status and property control of Tubo women as much as possible.

Even Ye Ali is vague about why Sun Bo became a feminist society, but one thing is certain, that is, although Sun Bo has been annexed by Tubo and became Sun Boru, the status of women in the old customs is still not low, and many small families still regard mistresses as the ethical core and property core of a family.

Although Sun Bo is also based on agriculture and animal husbandry, his attitude towards foreign exchanges is more active than that of Tubo, and is also the main object of Tang-Tibet trade. Moreover, in foreign trade, Sun Bo also has one advantage, that is, his craftsmanship is relatively developed.

For example, the felt tent fabrics and gold and silver products in the Tubo country, and even some weapons were created by Sun Bo.

Tubo's forging skills was not inferior to that of the Tang Dynasty, and its technical sources were diverse, and Sun Bo was also an important source of technology.

As for Princess Wencheng's visit to Tibet, he brought a large number of craftsmen, which made the Tubo armor sharp and sharp swords hit the Tang Dynasty. Those who hold this argument are probably similar to street women who believe that the Queen's bedside table in the palace is filled with brown sugar.

Although Princess Wencheng was exposed in later generations, it was only a matter of not surprising in the Tang Dynasty's marriage policy at that time. There were countless barbarians who had to marry daughters from the Tang Dynasty. Even Tuyuhun King Murong Zhong, whose mother was Princess Honghua of the Tang Dynasty, and who was also a son-in-law of the Li family.

If the princess of the Tang Dynasty had married, they would bring a large number of material craftsmen. How many generations of Tuyuhun married the Tang Dynasty, could the Tubo country with a thunderous face be destroyed?

It was nothing more than that later Tubo took advantage of the civil strife in the Tang Dynasty to cut off Longyou, causing serious disasters, and some conspiracy theorists to demonize this marriage.

During the Battle of Qinghai, the Tang army seized a large number of Tubo sticks, and Li Tong also compared them with a few physical objects. There was still a big difference between the Tang army's equipment, in terms of shape, material and craftsmanship.

Although Sun Bo's customs value women, the Tubo local area is different. Not to mention compared with the Tang Dynasty, even compared with Xiangxiong and Sun Bo of the same period, Tubo is a representative of barbarism, and obtaining material resources through wars is the main source of his life.

Moreover, there are almost no natural people in Tubo, either the lords of the states or the slaves directly belonging to the royal court. Although under the reform of Lu Dongzan and his son, Tubo also implemented some household registration policies and divided them into Yong and Gui, in essence, it still provided production and military services to its lords, and did not have an independent legal identity. Naturally, there is no question of family status and property control.

Therefore, the Tubo local area was not included in the scope of teaching and teaching by Li Tong for the time being. Naturally, he did not have such noble international humanitarian sentiments and fought to liberate Tubo serfs.

After so many years, those serfs were not incited by external forces. They only helped themselves and then helped them. Even if they wanted to do it, the Tubo people had to do it themselves.

No matter how tempting the propaganda of sutras and Dharmas are used, people always have to wear clothes and eat in the world. No matter how brilliant the Buddhism is, the only thing that can protect you is the next life, and you will suffer in this life. To make the Tubo people in the Eastern Region create it, of course, you must also have the capital to create it.

Therefore, in addition to the spread of Buddhism, Li Tong also planned to provide certain technical output to the Tubo people in the East Region, such as labor-intensive weaving and other light industries.

Sun Boben had technology reserves, and the felt tents produced were mostly for Tubo, but the profits in this regard were not high. After all, a group of Tubo was poor, and if you don't give it, you can still rob it. Can you still expect a fair deal with clear price tags?

Since Sun Bo is about to join the Tang Dynasty, it is also necessary to support commerce. In the future, Li Tong plans to come forward by the trade platform and organize merchants to increase the purchase of such products in the Sunbo area, and force Sun Bo to expand production through market demand.

Sun Bo is located in an area where the Tang Dynasty cannot directly point to the military. He only relies on military competition and does not have an advantage in the competition with Tubo. However, if the ten Tubos are through trade means, they will not be the opponents of the Tang Dynasty.

At present, due to the disagreement between the monarch and ministers of Tubo, coupled with the emergence of such a variable as Ye Ali, Sun Bo's eastern territory temporarily escaped from the order of Tubo, which was a good opportunity for the Tang Dynasty to take advantage of the situation.

One of the more important factors that the plateau regime has strong dependent on the lords is that the production environment is very difficult and the production conditions are very harsh. Only when gathering together can it fight against various natural disasters and man-made disasters. Therefore, the lords do not need much skillful ruling technology. As long as they control limited production resources, the people will naturally gather and not disperse.

In this regard, the allocation of natural resources is not friendly enough to the rulers of the Central Plains dynasty.

There is land for farming everywhere. As long as the people work hard to farm, they can be raised. The individual's living conditions are far better than those of the barbarians. Therefore, the Central Plains dynasty needed to be more sophisticated and in-depth institutional exploration and construction to effectively control the land and population.

Improve the commercial environment in Sunbo area so that they no longer limit themselves to the original agricultural and animal husbandry production, and even commercial income becomes their main source of income.

In this way, the unity and affiliation between the lord and the lord can be untied to a certain extent. The people do not need to survive through the means of production provided by the lord, and can even directly cultivate a group of city-state citizens.

From a small point of view, it can weaken the resistance of the Sun Bo people to the infiltration of the Tang Dynasty. From a large point of view, it is equivalent to directly cutting off the Sun Bo Eastern Region from the Tubo ruling model. It will be much more difficult to occupy and integrate the force of Tubo afterwards.

This whole set of strategies was not created by Li Tong, but from the three strategies of Pingkang, governor of Sichuan, Zhao Erfeng, who was the governor of Sichuan in the late Qing Dynasty. The idea of ​​using the Kangba area west of the Yalong River as an independent political unit such as Xikang was also derived from this.

Among them, taking advantage of the geographical advantages of the Kangba region in the tea-horse trade and vigorously developing industry and commerce was a foundation for the unique establishment of Xikang region. Unfortunately, the international situation and domestic environment at that time did not provide time for implementation of this idea. It was not until the Republic of China that Xikang became a political entity with the efforts of the Sichuan warlord Liu Wenhui. :(/

Of course, the current situation in Tang and Treasury is not enough to imagine things that are so far away in the future. But Kang and Tibetan divisions are undoubtedly an important idea for managing the southwest.

The game with Tubo was a long-term process for the Tang Dynasty. Previously, due to the strategic choices of the Tang Dynasty court, the Tang Dynasty did not face up to the Tubo's invasion of Tuyuhun in time, which made the Tang Dynasty lose its first move in the subsequent game, so that during the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty and Tubo fought hard around the old land of Tuyuhun, and still did not completely retreat to the old situation during the Yonghui period.

Once the Anshi Rebellion broke out, the tragedy of Tubo attacking and seizing Longyou occurred, making the west of Longguan no longer owned by the Tang Dynasty. Tubo invaded every year in autumn, and became a nightmare existence for emperors in all dynasties after the Middle Tang Dynasty.

At present, Daxingtai has obtained a good starting point in the competition for Qinghai. Now he has the opportunity to directly affect the Sunbo region, and he has taken the initiative to hand over the sword when the Tubo monarch and ministers are in a situation where Tubo is in a bad situation, so Li Tong will certainly not miss it.

Although he would not directly send troops to occupy the eastern Tubo region, he could use various means to make him bed and dream differently with the Tubo local area, and eventually separate him from the Tubo ruling system, making this region an outpost to guard against Tubo and shock Nanzhao.

The propaganda of Buddhism and the enlistment of trade are all methods of conventional management, and are still not enough to demonstrate the preferential rewards given by Li Tong to the princess Ye Ali of the Fan Kingdom.

He wanted to make this princess a landmark figure in the internal votes of various fans. Guo Yuanzhen's advice was waiting for an opportunity to fight the Tubo monarch and ministers, and then use the title of Tubo princess to interfere with the civil strife in Tubo. Although this idea is good, it is still a bit conservative.

Li Tong didn't care about the princess Chizun of the East Region. Since the princess had already offered him, he would prepare to directly enthrone the princess as the prince of Xikang, and use Sun Bo's Kang Yanchuan as his capital to establish an affiliated state directly under Xingtai. Using this as a transition, the official prefecture and county control was finally established.

The Sitano family was never the leader of the plateau of destiny. Instead, because of their arrogance and domineeringness, they humiliated the tribes. After unifying the plateau, they only brought war and suffering to the plateau. Since that is the case, why stick to such a choice?

Of course, it is not the time to directly grant the title. We need to wait until Kang Yanchuan has the prototype of a religious and trade center in the eastern Tubo region to be directly divided from the Tubo region.
