After sending Lu Dongzan away, Li Ke touched his chin. Li Shimin was not a very hairy person. Although Li Ke was strong, his beard had not completely grown yet, but he had learned from the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty. The action of touching your chin.
Songtsen Gampo's movements were much faster than Li Ke thought!
Although he didn't know the specific situation, there were only a few openings where Tubo could cross the mountains, so if Tubo took action, there would only be a few places where he could move. But to be honest, as long as he could climb over and occupy a better area, With a foothold in this place, the next journey to Tubo will be much more convenient.
Now that Tubo has just revealed its fangs, Li Ke has to step up his aid to Tubo. It's a pity that if he sells armor directly at this time, it would be too obvious. Forget it, let Tubo struggle, anyway, we can cross the mountains. After that, To be honest, Tubo's fighting power was really abnormal. Don't look at Tubo's repeated defeats when facing the Tang Dynasty, but you have to compare with whom.
Li Ke thought for a while and realized that he had to tighten up some of his strategies. He needed a large fleet! Li Ke wants a lot of ships with a displacement of 1,200 tons! With enough quantity, Li Ke can create a circle of enough land in Southeast Asia, and the food grown on these lands can supply the entire Tang Dynasty.
Population! There is so little population!
Leaving His Highness the King of Qin's shopping mall, Lu Dongzan took a deep breath. He didn't know where King Qin's information came from, but Tubo did indeed launch an army. It crossed the South Kunlun Mountains with lightning speed, and it was less than one person. In a matter of months, a considerable piece of land in the Gundam Kingdom was captured.
Not only that, but the weak resistance of the Gundam Kingdom stunned the entire Tubo people. Currently, Zampu is not in a hurry to attack, but is constantly migrating some tribes to the Gundam Kingdom and transporting some soldiers and supplies to the Gundam Kingdom.
After occupying a piece of land, it will be much simpler to expand in this direction.
Whether you're going east or west, it's easy.
According to Zamp's plan, the entire Goda Kingdom will be completely taken over this year. The river basins in the Goda Kingdom are rich in water and soil, and the food grown on the land there is enough for Tubo to get rid of its dependence on and consumption of highland barley and other foods. This means that Tubo's population will also will continue to rise.
And the basis of these is... armor!
They used the iron from the Quyuan plows sold by the Tang Dynasty to create 1,200 sets of armor. It was these 1,200 sets of armor that played a decisive role in the war!
So this is also the reason why he set off for Datang.
After returning to Honglu Temple, Lu Dongzan immediately arranged for someone to prepare for returning to Tubo, while he was preparing to write to Li Shimin to resign.
If Li Shimin didn't approve, he wouldn't be able to leave.
When Lu Dongzan was preparing to leave Chang'an, he was in Tubo territory.
"Brother Duoji, can you tell us again tonight? We all like to hear what you say. You say it makes sense. I also called more than 30 households nearby to come together, a dozen of them are new arrivals. ." A herdsman wearing tattered animal skins had cracks on his purple lips. He didn't dare to lick his lips. The more he licked, the worse he got.
But he didn't care about it at the moment. He was already used to these things. He looked at Duoji with expectation in his eyes and asked.
"No problem, I'll tell you all about it! We ordinary herdsmen can also live a good life. We are not born to be slaves for others! But Deya, this news must always be kept secret and cannot be spread. If word gets out, someone will be injured or even die because of me. This is what I don’t want to see, and it’s also what His Highness doesn’t want to see.” Duoji said seriously.
"Brother Duoji, don't worry. You still don't know about us people. It has been so long and it is absolutely impossible to spread the news. Even Sando and others who are responsible for managing us here are also on our side." Deya nodded seriously. nodded.
"Okay! We will meet at the same place that night." Dorje nodded.
"good!"
At night, the clear sky is illuminated by countless stars. Although there is no moon today, in Tubo, even on a moonless night, as long as it is not cloudy, it is still very bright.
Duoji and his group of more than thirty people gathered in a larger tent nearby.
Although the tent is not small, it is still a bit small with so many people crowded together, but everyone is used to it.
At this moment, Dorje stood in the middle of the crowd, surrounded by all the herdsmen in tattered clothes. Everyone looked at him with hopeful eyes. Dorje used to be poor at words, but now his eyes are bright and full of brilliance.
Behind him, a wooden board was painted black, and Dorji used plaster chalk to write two words on it: labor.
"Today, I will teach you how to learn these two Chinese characters, which are called labor." Duoji looked at everyone and said with a smile, "What is labor? Everyone understands the meaning. Labor is when we humans use our hands to create life together. This is called labor, we work, make clothes, build felt tents, hunt, etc. All of this is labor."
"Labor has taught us how to use fire and tools, and it has also formed the current society. So we humans use labor to create value. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" All the herdsmen nodded seriously, and their eyes kept looking at those two words, trying to remember them in their hearts.
"If you have nothing to do, you can use a stick to draw on the ground and try to write." Dorje said with a smile.
Seeing these herdsmen lowering their heads and holding sticks to write on the ground, Dorje did not bother him. When everyone had almost finished writing the word, Dorje smiled and said: "Now that you all know this word, then you should know that we labor Being able to create value, and the finished products from these values make up our society, right?”
"Yes!" Everyone nodded.
"Actually, a long time ago, in ancient times, everyone in the entire tribe was actually the same, including the chiefs of the tribes, who were mostly respected people. Everyone had to work and contribute. the power of."
"For example, men have to go hunting, and women have to raise children and sew clothes at home, but in short, everything is labor, right."
"Yes." Everyone nodded again.
"That's right, but with the development of our people and the development of each tribe, some people began to have other ideas. They believed that they were stronger and others could not defeat them, or they relied on their own Those with more family members and relatives can gather more people, while some with fewer family members cannot defeat him, so they can only listen to him."
"So, another word was born called class."
