Chapter 149 It is better to keep a tiger as a threat
Li Guangmao asked, "Does the imperial court want to give up the Lanlu tribe that it conquered with great difficulty?"
Li Shou asked, "How come you don't understand your majesty's intentions at all?"
"This Mobei Kingdom will be handed over to you sooner or later. How will you help the court in the future?"
Li Guangmao lowered his head, he really wasn't good at these political tactics.
Li Shou said: "Your Majesty, this is wise!"
"The Lanlu tribe has surrendered now. On the one hand, they are afraid that you killed the Third Prince, and the Lion and Tiger tribe will hold it against them."
"Also, Qihar's family is all dead, and there is no successor to the throne of Khan Lanlu."
"They are not sincere in surrendering to the Great Zhou."
"If the court forcibly sends officials and fails, all the previous efforts will be wasted."
"So your majesty's move is the wisest!"
"Now, several forces within the Lanlu tribe are evenly matched."
"Anyone who wants to become the new Khan needs the support of Mobei."
"That's easy. We just need to let the people who obey us become the Khan."
Li Guangmao immediately said: "Great, this is a great idea!"
The King of Mobei said: "The most important thing is the power of recognition! The grassland is different from the Central Plains. If you can't control your heart, you won't be able to sit well even if you are given the position of Khan."
"We just need to recognize candidates who are loyal to the Great Zhou."
The King of Mobei continued, "In addition to the Khan, we also need the Lanlu nobles' meeting."
"Every time the Lanlu tribe makes a major decision, everyone in the noble council must vote."
“It can only be implemented if more than half of the votes agree.”
"The loser of this Lanlu Khan can also join this meeting."
"It would be best if they could take turns in being the boss, and every few years they would have to re-select the Khan at the Lanlu Conference."
"In this way, we can ensure that every Khan elected is loyal to the Great Zhou!"
The Prince of Mobei admired him beyond words.
"Father is wise!"
"It's not the father who is wise, but the emperor! You should learn more from His Majesty. You are brothers, and from now on, the Mobei barrier will be guarded by you!"
After several "warnings" from His Majesty, Li Shou no longer had any idea of usurping the throne.
It is a grace from Your Majesty that he can now be conferred the title of King of Mobei and inherit the title for generations.
The current King of Mobei always regards himself as your Majesty's lackey.
He also knew that as long as the emperor cut off the supply to Mobei.
Mobei will collapse immediately.
Several money-making projects in Mobei are all strongly supported by the imperial court.
After the imperial court destroys Northern Mang, wouldn’t it be nice to become a wealthy vassal king?
Especially after seeing the emperor's methods, the King of Mobei became even more loyal.
"How's business at the textile mill lately?"
"Father, the people in Luzhou really like our sweaters. Now the factories in the imperial court are running at full capacity."
Some time ago, officials from the Ministry of Industry who were building railways came to Mobei.
At the request of the King of Mobei, the imperial court established a wool textile factory in Mobei.
Wool is made into yarn and then woven into clothes.
Of course, these factories belong to the Ministry of Industry, and the King of Mobei cannot get involved.
However, the King of Mobei firmly controls one link of wool production and can also make a lot of money from it.
Now the tribes around Mobei also follow Mobei in producing wool.
"Very good, very good. Then let the people raise more sheep."
Li Guangmao thought for a moment and said, "Father, we went to several small tribes around to collect wool recently, and there were some problems."
"Oh, what's the matter?"
"Many tribes found sheep farming to be very profitable, so they expanded it."
"Isn't this nice?"
"They don't need many people to herd the sheep. They expelled many people from the tribe, saying that they had to find a place for the sheepfold."
King Mobei sighed and said, "I didn't expect that these barbarians from Beimang would actually eat people like sheep!"
Li Guangmao also felt that this description was very apt.
The King of Mobei said: "Those who have been abandoned by the tribe should come to our Mobei."
"But we have to keep an eye on our ranch. Those guys are only interested in profit and will do anything for it!"
Li Guangmao immediately said: "Yes, father!"
The next day, every nobleman in the Lanlu tribe received news from the prince of Mobei.
The emperor let them elect the Khan on their own!
The entire Lanlu tribe was in an uproar!
The court also proposed to establish a noble house in Lanlu Kingdom according to the ancient traditions of the herdsmen.
The House of Lords is composed of representatives from many parties, and the Khan is elected in the House of Lords.
The term of office of the Lanlu Khan is five years. If there is any situation that angers the public or the people, the House of Nobles can dismiss him.
For this group of nobles, even if they cannot become the Khan of Lanlu, it would be nice to be a member of the House of Nobles!
The Lanlu Tribe began to elect members of the House of Nobles with great fanfare.
Of course, the entire tribe was more inclined towards the Great Zhou.
All those who thought they had a chance to become the Great Khan were trying to win over the prince from Mobei.
The Prince of Mobei received a bunch of promises and finally started the first noble meeting.
The Lanlu tribe elected twenty representatives from each party.
Then, after some fighting, the twenty people finally elected a new Khan, Lanlu.
In order to sit on the throne of the Khan, the new Khan was so eager to sell his old father to the people of the Great Zhou.
Soon, the results were sent to Da Zhou.
As long as the Emperor of the Great Zhou approves, he can become the Khan of the Lanlu Kingdom.
The only pity is that this job only lasts for five years and cannot be passed on to future generations.
But being a Khan for five years was also very satisfying!
The Khanship of these five years can bring great improvement to the family!
Li Tian was very satisfied when he saw the Khan elected by Lanlu Kingdom itself.
He agreed directly and stamped the imperial seal.
[Raising a tiger will bring disaster, Great Zhou’s national fortune: -2000 points! ]
[Host unlocks the title of benevolent monarch, national fortune doubles, Great Zhou national fortune: -4000 points! ]
The country’s fortune has finally declined!
It is really difficult to reduce a country's fortune!
The problem has been solved in Lanlu Kingdom.
The war in Eastern Liao also entered a stalemate.
There is no railway in Dongliao, so the speed of transmitting messages is much slower than in Luzhou.
After a trip back and forth to Luzhou, the matters concerning Lanlu Kingdom were finalized.
The report of victory from Eastern Liao had just arrived in Kyoto.
In Kyoto today, people are used to seeing reports of victory from all sides.
Now that the holy king is on the throne, what’s the big deal about winning the battle?
The entire country of Dai Viet has been conquered, so what’s the point of a victory report!
Now, the people of Kyoto have a much higher definition of a great victory.
Ordinary victories cannot be called great victories and are not worth discussing on the streets at all.
For example, topics such as the surrender of the Lanlu tribe.
The Lanlu tribe had long been colluding with the Great Zhou. This was proven by the fact that the Lanlu tribe refused to start a war in the Eastern Liao Kingdom war.
It was only a matter of time before the Lanlu tribe surrendered. There was no excitement at all compared to the last time when the Lone Wolf tribe was wiped out.
What the people are more interested in discussing is that there are more goods from Mobei on the market recently.
Although it’s only May, Mobei’s sweaters are very comfortable and can keep you warm.
