Chapter 1037 Wen Mogui

After having fun for a few days, Li and the other two were very favored, and Li Jia finally let him go.

After a lot of gratitude, the two left Beijing with rewards.

In fact, before, Li Jia was like many angry young people, and was very dissatisfied with the rewards of other alien races by the Central Plains dynasty. Isn’t this little money good for the people?

However, after becoming a monarch, the thinking became very different.

Gold, silver and jewelry are very expensive to the people, but this thing cannot be eaten, it is just equivalent to money. Giving it to those tribes and ranks is actually to win over.

Compared with military supplies such as weapons, iron and war horses, money and jewelry are the least important because it is difficult to enhance the opponent's strength, but instead allows them to be indulged in peace.

Even after enjoying luxury goods, they will form habits, and join the trade and then be strangled.

For example, the tea introduced to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the north has its effect of relieving greasiness and is loved by herdsmen, but there is no tea on the plateau and grassland, so they can only exchange cattle, sheep and horses for cattle, sheep and horses.

By the Ming Dynasty, the ban on trade in the market became a shackle. Once the grassland tribes came in a mess, they would blockade. Altan Khan almost came to Beijing during the Jiajing period. It was just to want a trade in trade, and it didn't matter if it was rewarded with gold and silver.

General rewards, such as clothes, jewelry, books, Buddhist scriptures, silk, etc., all have strong comfort. In the early Han Dynasty, they were cheerful in the Huns, and directly told the Huns to reject silk and could only pass on the leather coats, just to prevent them from being assimilated by the Han people.

When a foreign race takes the name of Han, wears Han robes, learns Confucianism, and even starts to take characters, it is no different from ordinary Han people.

The Zhe family in Fuzhou was well-sinized, while the Li family in Xiazhou was semi-incarnated, but they also changed from nomadic to semi-nomadic and semi-settled.

As long as nomadic people settle down, it will not be easy to escape.

Tang Fonu wore silk that he had never seen before, and his rough skin felt lubricated for the first time. He ate carefully cooked food and began to chew slowly. This was unprecedented on the plateau.

The spacious mansion, exquisite furniture, beautiful maids, and various delicacies and fun deeply trapped him, the leader of the Wenmo tribe.

How ever this happened on the plateau?

No wonder the Tubo people always think about going out of the Han area. The life of this Han people is so beautiful.

The prosperous Bianliang made him linger, especially in order to reward him with the credit for his contributions to the king's affairs, the emperor specially rewarded him with the position of baron, and even gave him mansions, money and land, which made him particularly satisfied.

But he understood that all this was based on the Wenmo cavalry he controlled, so although he enjoyed comfort, he did not dare to relax his control of the cavalry for a moment.

Furthermore, although he was obsessed with such a scene, he had self-knowledge. The only one that suited him was the plateau, and tens of thousands of tribes were still waiting for him.

"The Han people live a comfortable life, far away from war, no worries about food and drink, no worries about warmth, and no worries about snow disasters and wars, but this is not the place for me, Tang Fonu."

After leaving the tribe for several months, although he gained a lot, he still couldn't help but miss the tribe.

In Bianliang, he was just an insignificant baron, and anyone could suppress him, but on the plateau, he was the master of tens of thousands of Wenmo people, the famous Wenmo people on the plateau, and was very powerful.

Just when he was worried that the emperor would not let him go, news came from the palace that the emperor wanted to receive him.

Unable to curb the anxiety in his heart, he quickly changed into the baron's robe that he was not used to, and then quickly went to the palace.

The magnificence of the palace still dazzled him, like a fairyland, making him unaware of it, but such luxury also shows the wealth and power of this emperor.

With his head down, he didn't dare to look again.

"Tang Fosun, a native of Wenmo, kowtow to Your Majesty!"

"Get up!" Li Jia glanced at the Wenmo people with awkward face, between the Han and the Tubo people, but he knew that besides the name, the Wenmo people were already considered Tubo people.

Even though he could speak Chinese, his thinking had followed Tubo, profit-oriented, cunning, and changing with the wind.

He is very rational and never looks at him differently because of his origins, nor despises him because of his ethnic group.

Because most people do not have the so-called ethnic division at this time, the only difference between them is interests.

As long as it is profitable, both the Han and the Khitans will betray the so-called population without hesitation.

So, he is very calm at the moment.

Because he needs to use the Wenmo people again.

"How good is the leader of Tang in Bianliang?"

"Bianliang is so great!" Tang Fonu said quickly: "Don't worry about the unclean water source, nor do you have to worry about the lack of food. All kinds of things you have never seen before are everywhere, and this place is exactly the same as where God lives."

"As long as you are satisfied!" Li Jia smiled and said, "As a guest army, Wen Mo people are brave and worthy of boasting."

"The Wenmo people have always been warriors on the plateau. It is our honor to serve His Majesty the Emperor."

Tang Fonu said respectfully: "But, cattle and sheep cannot live without the grass, falcons cannot live without the sky, and we, Wenmo people, also leave the plateau that gave birth to us."

"This time I have received such a generous reward for serving Your Majesty. The Wenmo people have no other requests. They just want to return home to protect their families as soon as possible. The tribe is full of hungry wolves."

"Does Chief Tang want to go back?" Li Jia heard this, which was in line with his wishes, and he couldn't help but say:

"Since that's the case, then go back!"

"Thank you very much for your kindness!" Tang Fonu bowed happily, obviously in great joy.

"But remember one thing, then, I will not be allowed to plunder the people while traveling a long distance along the way. I will ask someone to escort you back."

Li Jia said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we will definitely not do this." Tang Fonu patted his chest and promised.

"That's good. With a good start, there must be a good end."

Li Jia nodded and said, "I will give way to the prefectures and counties on the road to replenish food and grass for you in time."

"One more, I need your guarantee."

"As long as we Wenmo people can do what we can do, we will do our best."

Tang Fonu straightened his chest and made a promise.

"The Tang Dynasty intended to be with the West, and then we need to follow the Wenmo people. I hope that the Wenmo people will be righteous as always."

Li Jia said casually, staring at her eyes.

"Without the Tang Dynasty, there would be no today as the Wenmo people. Once there is something wrong, I should help you with all my strength. Please rest assured that our Wenmo people have always had clear grudges."

Tang Fonu's eyes were bright and full of sincerity.
