0873 Fan soil is not allowed, Chang'an is hot

There were many Hu people and Fan Gu who settled in Chang'an, and the Queen of Xikang Ye Ali was one of them.

It is special, not only because the Queen of Xikang is a good person. This queen enjoyed the courtesy of princes and titles in the Tang Dynasty, and there were many Hu chiefs who enjoyed this treatment. Moreover, in addition to one title and honor, those Hu chiefs often held considerable official positions in the court.

As for the Queen of Xikang, because she was a woman, she had no other official positions except for one title. After all, the Tang Dynasty had just experienced the chaos of the heroine's rule, and she was still full of vigilance about the woman's power.

But not having an official position does not mean that Queen Xikang is weaker than other Hu Ke who settled in Chang'an, but rather that she is much more serious than them.

Unlike other Hu chiefs who enjoyed official titles were often inherited from the previous generation, the Queen of Xikang was personally enthroned by the saints today, and the Xikang Kingdom was also under the leadership of the saints and officially became the vassal territory of the Tang Dynasty.

If these lords and chiefs also distinguish between relatives and distantness, then Queen Xikang is undoubtedly the direct confidant of the saints today. This alone is incomparable to many Hu chiefs.

Not to mention, Xikang is now divided from Tubo, whose national strength is not inferior to that of the Tang Dynasty. When it comes to infiltration and constraints on Tubo, it even far exceeds Tuyuhun in the past.

In recent years, the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo has eased, not only reflected in official envoy exchanges, but also in the prosperity of private trade activities.

The huge size of Tubo was not comparable to that of the surrounding barbarians. As the pace of external expansion stopped, the demand for commerce surged. In previous years, the main people who met their demand were the Tang merchants in Shu and the Hu merchants in the Western Regions.

However, now, due to the increase in demand, these old channels themselves seem insufficient. In addition, the emergence of Xikang's external window has made the powerful and powerful people in the foreign countries more and more aware of what kind of suckers they were regarded as by merchants in previous years. They traded directly with the Tang Dynasty, not only did the types and quality of materials be more guaranteed, but the prices of goods were also cheaper.

Although the status of merchants is not high in the Tang Dynasty or Tubo, there are not many people in this world who think that money is too hot. Under the temptation of huge profits in trade, more and more Tubo powerful people are no longer satisfied with the living model of previous years and join in the trade with the Tang Dynasty.

After all, the natural environment of Tubo is much worse than that of the Tang Dynasty, and the agricultural and animal husbandry production is really limited. The benefits brought by the war have almost completely stopped in recent years. If there were no other means of profit, life would inevitably be worse every year.

Although these Tubo powerful people were extremely enthusiastic about doing business and making profits, their experience was careless. After all, if everyone could manage this business, where would the interests of merchants come from?

If you don’t have enough experience, you will naturally have many difficulties in doing things. If you are not careful, you may go against your wishes. Not only will you not be able to obtain enough benefits, but you will even pay for your capital. Especially now, the Tang Dynasty’s business is prosperous, and merchants from both domestic and foreign countries are gathered here. As new entrants, the Tubo powerful people have no advantage.

If they want to support agents, they are not at ease and are worried that they are not entrusted to others. Those cunning merchants may be able to do anything and even lose their capital.

Under such circumstances, choosing an intermediary who is honest and reliable, is familiar with the situation in the Tang Dynasty and has many means and channels has become the key to whether they can join in and become bigger and stronger. Now, the Queen of Xikang Ye Ali, who has settled in Chang'an, has naturally become the natural choice.

Ye Ali lived in Chang'an for a long time and had a transcendent status in the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, he was also the top-level powerful and wealthy in the Tubo country, so he naturally would not be as greedy as some ordinary merchants. Whether emotionally or rationally, the Tubo powers were naturally more willing to believe Ye Ali.

Therefore, the current Xikang Prince's Mansion has become the office in Beijing where the Tubo people entered the Tang Dynasty. Whether it is public or private affairs, as long as the Tubo people come to Chang'an, they must visit the residence. Even if they ask for advice, they must always come and go and get along well.

In fact, Queen Xikang's stroke in Tubo was not well received. Because of her treason and surrender to the Tang Dynasty, many Tubo people still gritted their teeth when they think about it. Especially those young people in Tubo still regard Ye Ali's defection as the main reason for the weak Tubo country today, and they cannot forgive her.

These resentments far away in Tubo naturally could not hurt Ye Ali, who had lived in Chang'an for a long time. The Tubo people who came to the residence to seek their visit naturally did not dare to reveal this emotion. Instead, they should conceal it carefully and do their best to compliment.

This emotional entanglement also reflects that Tubo is now in a huge gap with the Tang Dynasty in terms of overall national strength. Since it is weaker than others and has the desire for others, how can it be a tough attitude?

Today's Xikang Palace is also very lively. From the early morning, guests are coming to the door. As the exchanges between the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo people became more and more frequent, more and more Tubo people entered the Tang Dynasty. Among them are people with great power in their country, and there are also ordinary people who embark on a gold rush journey when they are in a hurry.

But no matter what their original identity is, since they have entered Chang'an, they must abide by the rules of the Tang Dynasty. Queen Ye Ali of Xikang is a key figure who can quickly integrate into the Tang Dynasty.

With so many people flocking to it, it is impossible for everyone to meet the Queen of Xikang to meet. Many people have been in the Tang Dynasty for a long time, and even after more than a year of seeking a visit, they have never been able to enter the door. Waiting here for one or two hours a day has become a daily task, hoping that one day may be allowed to enter the residence.

Not to mention the messy voices outside the palace, there were already guests sitting in the seat in the middle hall of the residence. A Tubo man with a beard on his face was begging in a foreign language: "It has been nearly June now, but the Tang Kingdom has not yet provided enough goods. If he continues to delay, his itinerary will be delayed greatly. After returning, he will definitely be questioned by the master. There is no other way, so he can only disturb Princess Chizun again and ask His Royal Highness the Princess to help him and deliver the goods early..."

After hearing this, Ye Ali frowned and said, "You Cai Bang family is so greedy. I told you before that the supply this year has not increased compared to previous years, but the number of people living in Beijing has increased instead of reducing. If you want to save time, don't report too many products, but you just don't listen. The court is in charge of commercial affairs, and you don't know where the problem lies. How do I tell me? Who should I ask to talk about it?"

"The two countries have a long journey, and it is not easy to travel once. Besides, the payment for the goods has been submitted, so it is even more cumbersome to get it back, and it is too late to regret..."

After hearing this, the middle-aged man laughed dryly, and then continued, "After all, I would like to ask His Highness the Princess to worry. In and outside Chang'an City, the workshops are continuous, and the daily products are not counted. There is no payment for goods, but the officials and officials deliberately make things difficult for them. I have heard that the goods purchased by Niang this time are no different from my family, but they have been transferred a few days ago and are already preparing to go back."

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man had a meal first, and when he spoke again, he had a bit of coercion and inducement: "As long as His Highness the Princess is willing to help, if the matter can be delivered a month ago, I can make the decision and give the benefit of this journey to His Highness the Princess.

I just spoke out to help, and besides money and profit, His Royal Highness Princess is not without other benefits. Although His Royal Highness Princess has lived in Chang'an for a long time, the Sun Bo in the East Region will not fly away. In recent years, there have been many controversies about Sun Bo in the middle country. If we, the big tribes in the middle country, tried our best to protect, how many days can the East Region be peaceful?"

Ye Ali, how could Ye Ali be threatened by the other party easily? After hearing this, he raised his eyebrows, clenched his fists and smashed it on the desk and said angrily: "I am not an official in Tang State. I have a department who can provide much money. Where can I find out? Where can I find out where the Niang gets the goods? You ask him yourself. I will never be greedy for the benefits of your family. I will go and return the gifts together, with only a lot of more and less!

As for the place in the Western Kang area of ​​the Eastern Region, it was given to me by Zanpu and Wang’s mother. I exchanged my old lord for my Chen family, and it was His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty who was in peace. Can you decide whether it is peaceful or not? In the past, I was in the country and I was no longer threatened by the control of you evil clans. Now I am in the Tang Dynasty, I will not be threatened by this!

Get out of my house now, go make trouble and fight, let me see how powerful your Cai Bang family is, and can ignore the power of the two countries? If you cannot disrupt Xikang, I look down on your Cai Bang family even more! If you do it well, even if the Xikang captivity is gone, I would like to pay the price for this day!"

The Caibang clan was a little panicked when he saw Ye Ali so angry, because Ye Ali had been away from the country for a long time and forgot that the toughness of this woman in the early years in the country made many powerful families feel a headache. It was a mistake to make a threat in a hurry and speak quickly.

It is naturally not something that their Cai Bang family can do if they want to stir up the changes in the situation in the eastern region. Moreover, the major families in the country have profound interest disputes in the eastern region and in the Tang Dynasty. If they want to try, they will undoubtedly be angry.

"Princess, please forgive me, please forgive me! How dare you disturb the Eastern Region? I just said in a hurry. Please don't bother with me, a lowly person! Your Highness can beat and scold me, but don't drive me out... After entering the Tang Dynasty, the clan members raised a lot of money. If I can't return smoothly, I will be unable to protect my life!"

The Caibang clan members did not dare to be arrogant anymore, turned over and knelt on the ground, begging for mercy: "As long as the princess is willing to help me this time, the clan will promise me two points of benefit, and I am willing to give it to Your Highness all!"
