Seeing this scene, several powerful Hu chiefs, Zhu Xie Jinshan and others, were worried that such a transaction might be difficult to carry out without King Yong, so they begged His Highness to come forward to preside over it.

At this time, Liu Youqiu, who had been standing on the side and watching His Highness Yong play the Hu chiefs in his hands, also spoke at this time: "Since the matter comes from Your Highness, you are so kind, please ask Your Highness to continue doing it. Moreover, the rebellious Hu tribe like the Seifeng tribe has existed in all areas, and such affairs will be there in the future. If it can be established, it will be better to deal with it later!"

Liu Youqiu said this, which was a preliminary picture. The Tang Dynasty set up a wide range of banished states on the border, but the management method was very rough.

If there was only one powerful country in the region, the Tang Dynasty could naturally digest these banished prefectures step by step. However, now that the powerful enemy has emerged, the previous tolerant government orders have become a hotbed for the Hu tribes to sway, rebellion or surrender.

If you want to take everything, you must give it first. Even if Li Tong wants to strengthen the control of Hu Hu, or even establish a new system in the original surveillance order, if this intention is too obvious and urgent, it will undoubtedly cause a huge rebound and even cause the Hu Hu to rebel.

Now, through an incident of dividing up the large tribe, Liu Youqiu proposed to create a customization possibility.

Under the temptation of interests, the Hu chiefs did not realize that once this system was formed, it would mean strengthening the overall control of the Hu governing the Hu. Instead, the first thing they thought was that in addition to the fine seal, they could also choose more targets to attack and divide.

So as soon as Liu Youqiu finished speaking, Zhu Xie Jinshan of Shatuo tribe said excitedly: "What Liu Sima said is the real truth. The Hu people in Longyou are of different character, respectful and rebellious. For example, today there are many Hu tribes who are arrogant and do not come to pay homage to His Highness Yong! They are willing to rectify the ministry, and the chief is in front of His Highness's tent and receive orders to attack all kinds of unjust officials in Longbian border!"

After seeing this, other Hu chiefs also made statements, showing great enthusiasm for this proposal.

"It's really nonsense! The court is in charge of the throne of the states and has its own rules and regulations. How can I not punish them? I am in Guanxi and Longyou, and I am already busy with affairs, so how can I have time to take care of these miscellaneous plans!"

Li Tong still held it impatiently and denied everyone's request.

After hearing this, Liu Youqiu continued: "The court's rules and regulations are tolerant, so the Hu mud and sand in charge are all under the control of it, and it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil. For example, this time, the fine seal of Baishi who offended Your Highness this time, may not violate the laws and regulations, but he should be arrogant and rebellious. There are many such things. Your Highness is clear about the grudges and grudges, and the punishment and rewards can make people know their power and fear more."

When they heard Liu Youqiu say this, the Hu chiefs present agreed. Now, in their opinion, King Yong's arrogant and domineering temper, not only does he not hate it, but becomes cute. If he can rely on King Yong's wings for this, he will see who is unhappy and immediately attack him, rob his money and grain, and divide his subordinates, it will make people excited to think about it.

At this point, Li Tong finally stopped grasping it, raised his hand to signal everyone to stop the call, and then said: "What Liu Sima said is not wrong, but I am not only subject to the envoys of the court, but I cannot ignore the laws of the country and act freely. Those who are in conflict among the Hu can only eliminate them and then be quick. You are moved by your heart and heart, but it is difficult to refuse your affection. So today, I will make a covenant with you to take advantage of the matter, form a community, and share the same breath."

Li Tong currently does not have such power to comprehensively rectify the imperial court's throne system, nor can he prevent the imperial court from taking the opportunity to intervene. Moreover, once it is elevated to the institutional level, the impact caused by all aspects will be difficult to limit it to Longyou.

So Li Tong thought of another method, which was to learn from the civil armed groups in the later colonial period, combine the current world style, integrate the power of the Hu, and form a community of interests for the society.

The Hu people in Longbian were either familiar with or unfamiliar with the Chinese system, but when it comes to business associations, they were mostly familiar with them. The Hexi Corridor was originally a major channel for East-West trade, and the Hu people in the border areas had more or less contact with those trading companies that communicated with the world.

At this time, when the Hu chiefs were told that His Highness Yong would make a covenant to form a society, the Hu chiefs were a little surprised at first, and then became enthusiastic.

I was surprised because I didn't expect that King Yong had such a noble identity and was willing to condescend to the Xingshe Society. The enthusiasm was because compared with the cold and clear system, the Xingshe Society was undoubtedly more popular, making the relationship between them and King Yong seem closer.

"If we can form a business club, everything can be easily operated. For example, when we attack and kill the mini-seal department, the money, grain, people and horses are free travel clubs. There is no need for those who are involved in the business to discuss and fight in a lot of things. The gains can also be measured and distributed, and each makes profits..."

Just now, Li Tong looked reluctant and impatient, but when he put forward his own ideas, he became erotic and analyzed the many benefits of association in an orderly manner.

In the Middle Ages, no matter what kind of organization or system it was, it was based on the two major aspects of population and land.

The Tang Dynasty had a vast territory and the complexity of the border situation was unprecedented. Although there were different rules and regulations in different periods, no matter how the system changed, it could not bypass population and land. If it was closed to the country, it would not be able to maintain its identity as a regional overlord. If it was maintained openness, it would not be able to avoid such a disaster as the Anshi Rebellion.

The formation of an empire is indispensable for the tyranny of gold and iron horses, but when it comes to the root, it is still how to effectively control the calculation of more resources with the minimum cost.

Although new social organizations like Xingshe are far inferior to companies with later capital structures, they still have progressiveness that cannot be ignored at present.

"Today, everyone present can have their own strength to occupy the capital. The business income is only based on the capital allocation. You and others have capital investment and make strong efforts to gather the capital of the society, thinking that it is a permanent business. There is no distinction between high and low in the society, no strong bullying the weak, only the duty and profit. If you all have the aspirations to participate, then each will make a letter of covenant and discuss the constitution together. If there is any violation, the masses will discuss it!"

Li Tong briefly explained his idea, and then set aside time for these people to weigh their own pros and cons.

"My Highness, what profit will be made if a company is formed? Do you also need to learn from those merchants and freight traders?"

Regarding his own interests, Hu Chiefs are very smart, and someone soon raised his hand and said.

After hearing this, Li Tong smiled and said, "The transport of floating goods may have made a lot of profits, but it is not worth my inquiries. You have been asking me repeatedly that it is difficult to refuse my affection and love this loyalty, diligence, and courage, so we will focus on building a society. We may be recruited by public and private enterprises, protecting merchants, hiring for war, or enclosing land, farming, fishing, hunting and gathering goods. The various types you collect may be sold or sold domestically. As long as the energy efficiency is up to me, why not profitable?"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but smile and did not doubt the authenticity of King Yong's words. Not to mention anything else, if the association can destroy the Sefeng tribe, it will be rewarding. Thinking of this, it is really promising to get along with King Yong.

Seeing that everyone was very enthusiastic about this, Li Tong was also quite happy.

Regarding how to dispatch and use the power of the Longbian Zhuhu, he also envisioned many solutions. After weighing the pros and cons, he finally chose an organization similar to mercenaries.

Mercenaries were not just a topic in later generations, but had a long history in the ancient West.

However, in ancient China, with rich arable land resources, a complete farming organizational structure and household registration system, of course, it also had a complete military system. The armed forces outside the system, such as mercenaries, naturally had no room for survival and activity.

But armed groups similar to mercenaries also existed in ancient times, and were mostly concentrated in the Tang Dynasty. For example, in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, the Shatuo armed group with milk was a girl, and other Hu clan armed forces.

But similar organizations are just a flash in the pan. Once the unification is completed and the central authority is restored, it will naturally not allow such large-scale extrajudicial forces to exist for a long time.

As the King of the Tang Dynasty, Li Tong was a defender of order, and of course he also hated this illegal power that was profit-oriented. But he had to admit that this power still had its own meaning from Longyou to the Western Regions.

There are many prison prefectures here, and the Hu power is complicated, so it is not easy to integrate effectively. Historically, the Tang Dynasty mainly talked with the Hu tribes in the region, such as supporting some of the tribes close to the Tang Dynasty to obtain a relatively stable strategic environment. For example, the Tuqishi, who was born from the Western Turks, and the Uighurs who were later renamed the Uighurs, were all produced under this strategic intention.

To be honest, the effect is not good. There are only eternal interests between countries and no eternal friendship.

In the early Tang Dynasty, after the Western Turks were killed, they became a small tribe. In the Western Regions, there were only two powerful forces in Tubo and Tang dynasties. After Tuqishi was supported, it became a three-way competition, and a big food was added. As for the Uighurs, it became a major disaster in the northwest after the Anshi Rebellion, and the harm it brought to the Tang Dynasty was even greater than that of the early Turks.

In view of this, Li Tong decided to make some other attempts. He used the Xingshe form to form a cross-ethnic community of interests, and used as a mercenary to sort out the order of Hu in Longbian. If it is convenient to use, he could even consider investing in the Western Regions' operations in the future and transforming into a colonial organization to assist in the Western Regions and consolidate the hegemony of the Tang Dynasty.

Whether this attempt is good or bad remains to be verified. But one thing that is certain is that even if the mercenary club has its own disadvantages, its growth and harm are much smaller than that of supporting a certain Hu tribe.

At least now, if Li Tong directly expressed his intention to recruit ten thousand soldiers from Hu to attack a certain tribe, the Hu chiefs would definitely have many shirks, and would not be as enthusiastic and enthusiastic as they are now.

As long as he mastered these profit-oriented Hu Erwuzi from Longbian, Li Tong could quickly defeat a group of Hu troops who were dissatisfied with the order, confiscate their personnel and materials, and devote them to the war with Tubo.

Although he still has a mobile unit of ten thousand people in his hands and can also complete this task, the lives of a Hu person can be consumed. Is it not good for his own army to maintain combat power to fight against Tubo?

Moreover, without many Hu people participating, if he hunted the Hu tribe on a large scale, it would greatly intensify the confrontation between the Tang Dynasty and the Hu Hu, and would easily be used by the opposite Tubo, or would cause large-scale rebellion to surrender to the Bo.

As for now, although the Huhu people are inevitably panicked, the one who dealt with them is not the Tang army in Longyou, but the private behavior of King Yong and his Hu party members.
