Chapter 546 Taking the initiative to reveal information

Drinking is not allowed in the military camp, but this is only a restriction for ordinary soldiers. For a person of Su Dingfang's level, as long as he does not drink too much and delay things, drinking is actually a normal thing for him. The soldiers below were also convinced by the habits inherited from Cheng Yaojin.

If you are incompetent on the battlefield, even if you don't drink, the soldiers in the army will have little respect for you, because you are a useless person, why should you lead them?

But if you take them all over the country to fight, and most of the battles you fight are victorious, general military regulations will be of little use to you. Even if you violate military regulations, the soldiers will treat you as their soldier. God, the older generation generals of the Tang Dynasty had already proven this, so no matter where Su Dingfang went, there was a carriage dedicated to pulling him drinks.

"Sir Zhao, I bought all this wine myself. What is the price of Datang Tianjiang? You come from Chang'an City, so you naturally know very well that mine are all one-star. Each catty of wine costs thirty guan."

Su Dingfang had already walked to the door of the tent, and suddenly turned around, "This is for our Tang Dynasty, why should I pay for it myself?" Although he didn't know General Mo Lun's drinking capacity, he knew it by looking at the size of the man. You must have drank a lot, not to mention they brought so many things. Why don’t you order some for them before leaving? It is rude to come and go without reciprocating. We, General of the Tang Dynasty, cannot let others call us stingy.

"What do you mean by General Su? Don't tell me how much this wine costs. I don't care about it. General Mo Lun has made it clear that he gave us the gift out of his own pocket. We, the Tang Dynasty, have to negotiate with them. You have to wait a while, and you have to pay for them yourself to give them gifts, so that you can have a better relationship with each other and better understand what Xue Yantuo is like in their country."

Mr. Zhao is from Chang'an City. If you want to fight on the battlefield, even if this guy brings eight generations of his ancestors, he is no match for Su Dingfang. But if you want to talk nonsense, ten of Su Dingfang's ancestors are here. Even if Yashiro comes, he is no match for Mr. Zhao.

So as soon as Su Dingfang started speaking, Mr. Zhao knew what he wanted to say. You want our Lifan Yuan to listen to this account of yours. There is no such reason in the world, not to mention that the Lifan Yuan is also extremely poor. The military is not as rich as yours, so before Su Dingfang could finish talking to him, Mr. Zhao had already disappeared into the tent.

"This old man is really a thief..."

After talking and scolding, there is not much to do. Su Dingfang asked someone to bring two jars of wine and sent someone to deliver a message there. It just so happened that it was time to eat. Let's Go to the center of the two armies to exchange feelings.

General Mo Lun and Wa Dahan were preparing to have dinner. After hearing about this incident, they immediately came over with their golden roasted lamb. This was a well-known chef under him, plus some vegetables made by Su Dingfang. A table of leeks was quickly put together. Things like green vegetables are nothing in Chang'an City. Even ordinary people can eat them every day. But if they were on the grassland, these things would be considered expensive. Who would let this There are no green vegetables.

The brand of Datang Tiannong has been released. Not only the people in Chang'an City are willing to drink it, but also the nobles of the surrounding countries. They also like to drink this kind of wine. I heard that it is a one-star Datang Tiannong. After drinking wine, General Molun became even more energetic. Before he said anything, he drank three ounces of wine first.

This kind of wine costs 30 guan per catty in Chang'an City, which is already not cheap.

However, it is even more expensive in Gaochang State. According to General Mo Lun, the price per kilogram of this stuff has increased twenty times in Gaochang State.

"Six hundred dollars??"

Su Dingfang thought she heard wrongly.

"General Su heard you right. The price is this in our Gaochang Kingdom. Even if you can pay for it, you can't buy it at all. There are too few goods coming every year. Don't underestimate our Western Region, our population here. Although it is not as good as your Tang Dynasty, we have quite a lot of wealthy people here."

General Molun is telling the truth. The situation here is slightly better than that in Tubo. There are still many civilians, but there are still many slaves. They work from morning to night until they have no money at the end. The society they created All the value belongs to the tribal leader, and the tribal leader has plenty of money.

“I can’t believe how expensive it is.”

Su Dingfang said while shaking his head. He knew that all the major families were robbing wine in Chang'an City. After robbing the wine, they did not sell it everywhere, but shipped it all to countries surrounding the Tang Dynasty. At that time, he thought these people were crazy. After all, they After grabbing the wine, if you sell it on the spot in Chang'an City, you can get double or triple the profit.

Only now do I understand that people simply don’t value twice the profit. What does a mere twice the profit mean in their eyes? All major families have caravans that go to surrounding countries. As long as they load the wine into the caravans and transport it to the surrounding countries, the profit will be ten to twenty times.

"It's still okay here, but if it's over there in the Western Turks, the price is twice as high as here."

Su Dingfang hadn't come back to his senses when he suddenly heard this sentence again. To the north and west of Gaochang Kingdom was the largest Western Turks. This area was sparsely populated. When the Turks split, some Turkic nobles were unwilling to surrender. Yu Datang, so he brought his soldiers to the west and established the Western Turks with a huge territory, including part of what is now Central Asia.

"Didn't Xue Yantuo's people bring some with them when they came here?"

The two of them had already drank half a catty of wine, and everyone's faces were flushed, so Su Dingfang started to test.

"When those guys left, they didn't bring anything with them except gold and silver. They gave away gifts in our country. Otherwise, could we let them in? We all hope to become friends with Datang, but we have no choice but to let them in." The king was blinded by them..."

General Molun was already drunk, but he remembered the words that Wadahan asked him to memorize before. Wadahan told him that even if he forgets his own mother, he must not forget these words. He must recite them word for word. Memorize it to the general of the Tang Dynasty. This is the main purpose of doing these things.
