"Mr. Arhan, let's take a step back. Even if the Hu State unified the Eastern Territory, the combined population of Daliang, Korea, and Japan far exceeds hundreds of millions. If you still want to use slavery to restrain them, is it possible? Let me tell you , this is simply impossible.”
In official history, the first unified dynasty established by ethnic minorities, the Yuan Empire only lasted for ninety-eight years at most, and it only lasted this long because it inherited the Han system.
"I don't know what your purpose is in taking me back to Dadu, but if you want your nation and country to become stronger, you must find ways to carry out reforms, otherwise it will be a dead end."
After listening to Song Che's words, Arhan lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
Song Che sneered inwardly. In fact, there was another sentence he didn't say at the end, "Reform will bleed."
If you want to turn slavery into a feudal system, you will inevitably touch the interests of the "slave owners", and the slaves of the nomadic people are nine out of ten tribal leaders.
Disturbing the internal power of the Hu people, deepening the conflicts between tribes, and causing them to fall apart from the inside. At that time, the army of the Liang Dynasty can easily destroy them.
"Hey, Liang people, I really can't stand listening to it anymore. Apart from not having as much money as you, Daliang, our Hu country is not better than you in any other way. Look at us Hu men, all of us are strong, brave and good at fighting. We must Otherwise, how can we beat you so hard that we can cede territory and pay compensation? Otherwise, how will Tibet surrender?"
Chachai said, and then said to Arhan: "Sir, this Daliang man is very cunning. He doesn't want to reform or not. You can't believe his words!"
As the saying goes: If you are not afraid of discussion by experts, you are afraid of criticism by laymen.
In some matters, it is these straightforward and vulgar people who are even more difficult to deceive.
Song Che replied: "Your lord asked me what 'foresight' is, so I said this casually. Did I tell you to trust me? If you don't want to hear it, put it in your left ear and put it in your right ear." Just pop out your ears, why do you want to have a sense of presence?"
"You're just good at talking, but you have the ability to use your fists to differentiate!"
Chachai clenched his fist and shook it in front of Song Che's eyes, but damn it, this fist was really as big as a sandbag!
Song Che sneered: "But I am such a naughty person that you dare not hit me even if you swing your fist. Are you angry?"
"Ahhhhh!"
Chachai was so angry that he looked up to the sky and roared, venting his anger.
Song Che just likes to see him angry but unable to kill me.
"General Chachai, you just said that apart from being rich, Daliang is not as good as your Hu country. I absolutely disagree with this statement," Song Che said with a sideways smile:
"Let's not talk about politics, just talk about 'food, clothing, housing and transportation'. We, the people of the Liang Kingdom, will live a better life than you, the Hu people."
He pulled the corner of his clothes and showed it to Cha: "Did you see it? It's called brocade cloth. It's made of natural silk. It's hundreds of times better than your magnolia cloth."
Chacai stroked his coarse shirt, quickly wrapped the fur robe tightly, and said: "So what? Clothes are only for covering up and keeping warm, and wearing warm clothes is the most important!"
Song Che said: "Only the poor talk about food and clothing. Which princes and nobles have you seen wearing coarse linen clothes?"
He took off the wine bag from his waist again, poured a sip into his mouth, squinted his eyes and smacked his lips, exclaiming happily: "This is our latest brand of strong wine in Daliang. One sip will make the coldness disappear."
"Hahaha... It's a joke!" Chachai pulled off the big sheepskin wine bag on his horse, "Compared with our grassland people, you are really overestimating your ability!"
"For a change, try it?"
"Change it, change it, try it!"
The two exchanged wine bags.
Song Che took a sip of Chachai's wine. Compared with ordinary wine, it was much stronger, but the taste and strength were far inferior to distilled wine.
"Pfft!" He spat out the drink, "I'd rather drink horse urine than drink your kind of wine, it's so hard to swallow!"
Chachai took a sip of Song Che's distilled wine and opened his eyes wide. He tasted it for a moment and then took two more sips. He looked at the wine bag in surprise: "This... how is it possible! When Liangcheng was captured, I drank from Daliangren The wine will never taste like this!”
He threw the wine to Arhan again, and Arhan took a sip with the same expression. Arhan threw the wine to several other generals, and they all praised it after drinking it.
"General, this Liang people's wine is really more powerful than our wine!"
"Hmph!" Chachai threw the wine bag back to Song Che, "From today on, I will stop drinking!"
"If you can give up drinking, I can give up eating." Song Che pinned the wine bag and said: "Our big beam buildings, with blue bricks, gray tiles, carved railings and jade, can be warm in winter and cool in summer. It is fireproof and waterproof, which is the best in the world. And you are still living in a yurt, right?
In Daliang, we have eight major cuisines from south to north. The food in each place is different. Even if you eat the same thing every day, you will never be able to finish it in your lifetime. But you can only boil meat in salt water, making it difficult to eat;
When we travel in Daliang, we can travel by horse on land or by boat on water. Roads extend in all directions. There are various military stores and post houses along the way, making it convenient to go anywhere. And you, when spending the night on the grassland, have to watch out for wolves;
We played in the beams, there were lanterns during the Lantern Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival, we stayed up all night long in the tiled houses, listened to music and went to the art gallery, and went to the brothels for romance. what about you? What do you have to offer? "
"Boy!"
As if he couldn't bear it any longer, Cha Guai grabbed Song Che's collar and said, "You can talk as wildly as you want, but the fact is that you can't go back! To put it mildly, you are the guest of the Great Khan, and to put it worse, you are our Hu country's guest. captive!"
Song Che smiled coldly and said calmly: "Silly man, you may not believe it. I was caught by pirates on the island, and the pirates were wiped out. I was captured by horse bandits and brought back to the stronghold. Not only was I unscathed, but I also captured the The heart of the female leader. You might as well think about it, what will happen to Hu State if I go back with you this time?"
"The ending is that you will be cut in half by my sword, and your Liang Dynasty will surrender under the iron heel of the Hu people. February next year at the latest——"
"Guess!"
Arhan said, "You should really talk less."
Chachai then pushed Song Che away, gritted his teeth and said "yes" and retreated to the back of the team.
Song Che straightened his collar. Even if we are outnumbered and outnumbered, we must not lose our backbone!
"Mr. Song, after climbing over the Qilian Mountains in front of you, you will reach the prairie." Arhan said, pointing to the majestic snow-capped mountains in front of him.
Song Che said: "If you let me go back now, the relationship between Hu State and Daliang that is on the verge of being broken can still be repaired. If you go over this mountain, many people from both countries will die, and this war will eventually end with your defeat and division." "
"Hahaha..." Arhan laughed and said, "It's too early to talk about victory or defeat now. You guys have just come out of the quagmire of the war with Dijon. No matter what, the advantage in this war lies with me."
"We'll just wait and see."
