This can be regarded as the second step in Tang Ping's trade war with Tibet.
It is said that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
After the Tubo nobles got used to these things, it would be difficult for them to leave.
Everyone understands this truth. No one is willing to lower their quality of life after living a high-quality life.
Tang Ping gave these things to the Cui family at such a price. For the Cui family's profits, they would do their best to speculate on the prices of these things.
They are all foxes for thousands of years, and the Cui family knows as much about it as Tang Ping does.
If those Tubo nobles wanted to maintain their luxurious life, they had to make more money.
The Tang Dynasty has already begun to increase tariffs on other Tibetan products.
For example, beef and mutton, some dairy products, and some plateau specialty medicines.
In other words, when Tibet sells other things to Datang, it will make even less money.
After all, they were facing the Tang Dynasty to the east and Tuyuhun to the north.
Tuyuhun's economic products were similar to theirs, and there was no need to export them from Tubo. If they couldn't sell them to Datang, they would just rot in their hands.
However, if they are sold to Datang, they will have to pay high tariffs, which will inevitably bring about a reduction in production of these things.
This is determined by the laws of the market. By then, the whole of Tubo will be full of sheep, because only wool can be sold at a high price, and the Tubo nobles also need money to maintain their luxurious life.
The Tubo people just felt that they were on a plateau and thought that their place was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but they never thought that Tang Ping had no intention of sending troops to attack them.
It is conceivable that when the conflicts between the Tubo nobles and the people intensified to the point of irreconcilability, they would either launch a foreign war to divert domestic conflicts, or break out domestic chaos.
No matter what the situation is, it will inevitably further weaken Tubo's national power.
It is not easy for people to attack Tubo, but it is also not easy for the Tibetans to come down from the plateau.
Especially under the control of Datang, their food crisis will become increasingly serious.
If they really launch a foreign war, they cannot afford to offend the Tang Dynasty, which has weapons of war.
Their only target was their northern neighbor Tuyuhun.

At that time, the Tang Dynasty can use this to threaten the already weak Tuyuhun. If you surrender to the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty can support you. If you don't surrender to the Tang Dynasty, you will wait to be destroyed by Tubo.
And if Tubo does not fight it out, and the domestic conflicts become deeper and deeper, Datang will naturally send agents to mix it up.
For so many peasant uprisings in history, their leaders or the early stage simply could not bear the oppression, but in the later stage, how many of them were not motivated by their own selfish interests?
This is true from Chen Sheng and Wu Guang to Li Zicheng and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Therefore, as long as the Tang Dynasty can provide some support to the leaders of the Tubo people, they will naturally become more and more troubled.
No matter what, it will be of no harm to Datang, and they can just wait and reap the benefits in the end.
After listening to Tang Ping's detailed plan, Fang Xuanling was a little stunned. He, known as Fang Mou, only realized the horror of this strategy after careful consideration.
Fortunately, all this needs to be supported by a strong economy. Datang is rich in products, coupled with this year's industrial development and agricultural potato planting, can such a strategic intention be achieved. If Tubo did this to Datang in turn.
Haha, if I don’t do business with you, Tubo, I can’t do business with Turks, I can’t do business with Beiyan, and I can’t do business with Miaoman?
So this is a deadly plan, a sure-fire plan for Tubo. It controls not only the economy of Tubo, but also the hearts and minds of the Tubo nobles and people.
After bidding farewell to Cui Zhongqing, Lu Yi and the Cui family will take over the rest of the affairs, so he can just be a hands-off shopkeeper.
He has a new mission today, which is to visit Du Ruhui. Du Ruhui didn't even come to his wedding. He heard that he was seriously ill.
Only then did Tang Ping remember that in his time and space, Du Ruhui did not exist in the early Tang Dynasty.
Of course, the two time and spaces are not the same now, so he has to go and see if he can rescue Lao Du.
Although this old man and Fang Xuanling often come to his house to have dinner, it has to be said that the two old guys together have perfected many of Tang Ping's immature ideas.
Again, their intelligence and political attributes are definitely far superior to Tang Ping's. The only thing is that they cannot match him in terms of vision.
When I arrived at Du's house, I handed in the post. The concierge didn't expect Yinshan Hou to come to his home, so he didn't dare to neglect. He invited him into the front hall and served him good tea first, and then went in to inform him.

Yinshan Hou! "The person who came out was Du Ruhui's son Du He. The two had met several times. It was obvious that Du He's brows were furrowed. It must be that Du Ruhui's condition was not very good.
"Hello Mr. Du, today I'm here to see Mr. Du and see if there's anything I can do to help."
"Please come in, Lord Yinshan!"
Du Ruhui has indeed been seriously ill recently. The imperial doctors from the imperial hospital came several times. According to the Compendium of Medical Materia Medica given by Tang Ping, they gave some treatment plans, but the effects were not very good.
At that time, the Du family also thought about asking Tang Ping to take action, but after asking around, they found out that Tang Ping was not good at diagnosing diseases. His main advantage was that he had many magical drugs.
In addition to Tang Ping's wedding, Du Ruhui said he would wait until Tang Ping finished his work, so he delayed it for a while.
During the wedding yesterday, Fang Xuanling mentioned that Du Ruhui's health had gotten worse recently, so she invited Tang Ping to come and take a look.
Coming to Du Ruhui's bedroom, it seemed that Du Ruhui's spirit was indeed much worse than usual.
"Yinshan Hou, please forgive me for not being able to go to congratulate me on my wedding!"
"It's okay, you didn't arrive, but the gift has arrived, I don't mind!"
"Hahaha, you, you are still like this!"
The two have known each other for a long time. Although there is a big difference in age, they feel like they have been friends for many years.
When Fang Du gets unexpected attention, he will go to Tang Ping, and when Tang Ping gets new attention, he will also find two people to help him improve it.
"The Tang Dynasty has a Yinshan period, so I can actually rest assured!" Du Ruhui said, a trace of gloom flashing between his eyebrows.
"Dad!" Du He said, but Du Ruhui stopped him and told him not to say more.
"Actually, I want to ask, does Du Xiang often have dry mouth, sometimes feel weak all over, and often have headaches?"
"Yes, my father does have such symptoms." Du He said on the side, but these imperial doctors all knew it, so it was not surprising for Tang Ping to say it.
"Then let me ask something more private. Is Du Xiang's urine yellow and there are bubbles when he urinates?"
"how do you know?"
Du Ruhui was stunned. The imperial doctor had never asked about this, and it was impossible for him, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, to tell others what his urine looked like.
