Of course, Jun-gong wouldn't have a migraine.
"Brother Wood, weren't you traveling through the Wolf King in East Turkestan? I remember we also had a little tiger—Qiu Xiaoyin?" Xiao Si asked Qiu Rongmu.
“Yes, after you left the Turkic steppe, I also traveled through time and space to farm in this place, where I met Wang Jun,” Qiu Rongmu said.
"Meanwhile, the real leader of the Eastern Turks, Mochuo Khan, staged a dark comedy. This steppe bully, who had been bullying his neighbors for years, actually ran into trouble when he tried to rob an inconspicuous Bayegu tribe!"
That very morning, the merchants of the Hu (non-Han) tribes on Zhuque Street in Chang'an City noticed that the camel bells were ringing unusually clearly—the head of Mochuo Khan, the CEO of the Eastern Turkic Khaganate, was en route. When Mochuo's head arrived at full speed, Sanlang Zian laughed out loud. He knew that Mochuo was a tough nut to crack; even Qiu Rongmu and Xiao Si, who had forcibly traveled back in time, couldn't solve this problem!
Sanlang Zian, who was on vacation, was sucking on a milk tea straw invented by Xiao Si and said to the Sunshine Rose tribute from the Western Regions, "Hilarious! Last week, Old Mo wrote 'The Heavenly Khan is invincible' in the employee suggestion book, and now he probably hasn't even stopped paying social security, right?"
Xiao Si, the chief data analyst at the Imperial Observatory, clutching a stack of scrap paper, said, "Boss, don't open the champagne yet. The bankruptcy of the Turkic branch is just a temporary restructuring. According to big data analysis, their subsidiary, Later Turkic, will go public through a reverse takeover in about fifty years..."
"This is illogical!" Sanlang Zian coughed, choked by the grapes. "Didn't Qiu Rongmu say before I transmigrated that as long as we dealt with the Turkic ties, we could unlock immortality in the Tang Dynasty?"
"You probably missed the patch notes." Xiao Si began highlighting key points with a calligraphy brush. "The Turkic forces belonged to a nomadic economic cycle, like the invincible Big Bad Wolf, always shouting at the end of each episode—'I'll be back!'—but don't panic," she suddenly switched to an internet celebrity tone, "As long as we maintain the 'Northern Protectorate' as our blockbuster product, we can continue to generate... OMG! Buy it! Buy it!"
Xiao Si, the Imperial Observatory official, repeatedly reminded Zi An not to be too anxious about border affairs: "Look, the Eastern Turkic Khaganate was indeed destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, but it was later restored. This region has indeed had a profound impact on the political landscape of our dynasty's north and Central Asia..."
The common people eating melon seeds in the teahouse had no idea that the outcome of this gang fight on the grasslands would lead a Sogdian cowboy named Kang Daibin to a magical ending that would rewrite the history of the Hetao region, and who would have thought that it would sow the seeds for eight years of turmoil in the Hetao area...
"This is no more than a vast, untamed grassland!" Kang Daibin said, chewing on a licorice root and rolling his eyes at the sign that read "National Integration Demonstration Base" erected on the grasslands of the six prefectures of the Hetao Plain.
Three years ago, when he led a cross-regional team of Sogdians, Turkic mules, and Tiele riders to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, the resettlement plan personally approved by Sanlang Zian has now become a 996 herding system: serving as free bodyguards for the Shuofang Army during the day and paying mutton skewer tax under the stars at night...
CFO Rong was hopping mad, clutching the sheepskin ledger: "That bastard Wei Kang is at it again with another surprise audit! R&D investment, organizational structure, brand channels, etc., are all off-balance-sheet assets, but how come the more than 100,000 camels, horses, cattle, and sheep hidden on the southern slopes of Yinshan are all off-balance-sheet assets?"
It turns out that the HR department managed by the imperial court, under Sanlang's control, has pulled some crazy stunts: elite troops are being incorporated into the Shuofang Army as "blessed soldiers" within the system! Meanwhile, the rest are not only forced to herd livestock, but also have to pay the imperial court "grassland management fees"...
So when Lord Wei Kang came to conduct the "population census" with an Excel spreadsheet, he discovered that Kang Daibin's ledger suddenly had tens of thousands of hidden people and more than 100,000 camels, horses, cattle and sheep—wasn't this forcing the nomadic people to make false accounts? The Sogdians' abacus beads shattered on the spot.
Lord Wei Kang thought to himself, "Our ancestors were the most skilled businessmen on the Silk Road, and now they're forcing me to become an accountant?"
Sanlang Zian did not want the profound legacy of the prosperous era to foreshadow the larger-scale An Lushan Rebellion during the Tianbao era, which worried Xiao Sizi greatly.
