Nine hundred and tenth chapter beat the horse

"Okay, depending on your filial piety, I can also take you on this road of no return to compensate you. I will not ask you for money from these things. You just need to promise me that when you arrive in Tubo, be careful of everything, and if the situation is wrong, don't bear it, do you understand?" Zhang Nan said.

Li Yan was also very moved when he heard Zhang Nan's words. Apart from Concubine Yang and Li Ke, no one has ever been so good to Li Yan. Zhang Nan is both a teacher and a friend to Li Yan.

"Master Zhang, don't worry. You don't know yet? You can save your life best." Li Yan also patted his chest and said.

Considering the impression Li Yan gave him, Zhang Nan also knew that Li Yan would definitely not let him suffer, so Zhang Nan nodded as well.

"Don't be anxious first, let me think about what you want to take with me. These things don't have to be expensive, but they must work. This is the most important thing, I think about it." After Zhang Nan said that, he began to browse the system mall.

Zhang Nan had never been to Tubo at all, so he didn't know what the Tubo people needed most, and it was definitely impossible for Li Yan to carry a large amount of money.

Even if Li Yan could distribute all his money to those ordinary people, Zhang Nan believed that the nobles would always have ten thousand ways to exploit them. It would be better not to give money than to do so.

However, what effective things should be given to win people's hearts and will not arouse the disgust of the Tubo nobles.

"What do you think those Tubo people want?" Zhang Nan asked while browsing the system's mall.

"Me? I think those people must want to have enough food. I am not familiar with Tubo, but I heard that in the Turks, as long as the snow is too heavy in winter, the population of some small tribes will drop sharply, and they say that they can't find anything to eat at all." Li Yan said after thinking a little.

"Is it that serious?" Zhang Nan asked in surprise.

Although Zhang Nan knew that food was the life of the people after coming to the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Nan had never seen anyone starved to death, especially when high-yield potatoes and other crops came across the ocean to the Tang Dynasty, fewer people starved to death.

To be honest, although Zhang Nan lived in a rather frustrated life in his later generations, he had never been hungry, so he didn't know what it felt like to be hungry.

Even if he came to Datang, he had never tasted this.

So Zhang Nan was a little surprised after hearing Li Yan’s story about the Turkic incident.

"That's right. I heard from my elder brother that the people of our Tang Dynasty are pretty good. In the past, as long as there was no war in chaos, as long as God gave him some shame, although the people might be hungry during the winter, they would never starve to death. But the Turks were different." Li Yan said.

"The Turks do not know how to grow food, they can only come to rob the Tang Dynasty. It's okay for those from the big tribes to have a chance to grab some, but those from the small tribes are not good. They have to exchange cattle, sheep and population for food. If the people from the big tribes are unwilling to exchange with them, or they don't have much, those small tribes will die in a winter."

"This is the way on the grassland. I think it's almost the same on the plateau. Master Zhang, you don't know that before you came to the Tang Dynasty, when the emperor's grandfather was still in power, it was common to starve people to death. Sometimes we will go hungry." Li Yan said.

"Really? Why do I not believe it so much?" Zhang Nan said with disbelief.

"It's true. At that time, the Tang Dynasty had just been founded. The food and clothing in the palace were very tight. If the grain harvest was not good, it would be too thin to drink." Li Yan looked sincere and didn't seem to be lying at all.

Of course, Zhang Nan also believes that Li Yan will not lie, after all, lying like this has no meaning.

"It's much better now. Not only is there enough food, but you can even eat green vegetables in winter, but also high-yield potatoes. You won't be hungry anymore. This is all your credit for Master Zhang." Li Yan also gave Zhang Nan a flattery at the right time.

On weekdays, Zhang Nan flatters Li Er's flattery. Now Comrade Li Er's son flatters himself, so Zhang Nan naturally enjoys it. Now Zhang Nan can understand that all the superiors like their subordinates to flatter him.

This feels like one word, it’s cool.

Although Zhang Nan knew that this horse was well deserved, she always sounded a little fluttery. After all, no one would dislike listening to good things.

"Okay, for the sake of you flattering me, in addition to food, I will give you some medicines you can use for free on a daily basis, and you will also use them when you get there." Zhang Nan said with a smile.

"Sir Zhang, you are really the savior of the Tubo people. Fortunately, the Tubo people have you, otherwise they don't know how long they will suffer." Li Yan said with a smile.

"...Well, I'll give you some small things in private. You can use them when you get there. After all, you can't live too hard in the bitter and cold place there."

"Wow, thank you, Master Zhang." Li Yan smiled and grinned to the bottom of his ears.

"You know what the Tang army eats in the marching of the Tang Dynasty now." Zhang Nan said.

"I know what it is called a compressed biscuit. I have eaten it. Although it felt delicious at the beginning, it would be average if I ate too much. However, that thing is really full. I ate one piece and couldn't eat anything else in a day." Li Yan said.

"I personally sponsor you five cars. If you want the rest, you can ask your father to buy it. You are doing business for the Tang Dynasty. The money must be paid by the Tang Dynasty. This is public and private is private. Your father will understand you." Zhang Nan said.

"Okay, I understand." Li Yan nodded and responded.

"As for medicines, I can't give you too many. If you use them on a daily basis, you will have some headaches and fever, and you will get a stomachache. Of course, there are some medicines for treating frostbite. I'll give you a car of these, and you'll buy the rest. But I think you're going there for the first time. There's no need to bring too many things. Anyway, you'll still have to come back midway." Zhang Nan said.

"Can I come back?!" Li Yan was shocked. Originally, Li Yan had already made plans to stay in Tubo, but now Zhang Nan actually said that he could come back. How could this not shock Li Yan?

"Of course I can come back. You are the conveyor of God's will. You suddenly disappear for a while. You can make them miss you even more. Then you will come back with a lot of things they urgently need. Wouldn't that be more popular?" Zhang Nan said with a smile.
