The Tang Dynasty during the Zhenguan period had a well-deserved cultural hegemony in the entire Oriental world!

This is actually quite understandable in the case that many countries do not even have their own scripts and can only use Chinese characters. In the exchanges between all countries and Datang, if the transaction of physical goods is still in and out, then the cultural exchange is purely a unilateral export.

At this point, Datang has absolute self-confidence.

Or even bigger, this is Chinese from ancient times to the present...... Before the end of the Qing Dynasty, it took thousands of years to cultivate absolute self-confidence!

So this is also the reason why Arabic numerals are still so difficult to promote after being summarized by Sun Peng, otherwise from the beginning of the Tang Dynasty when India perfected the ten Arabic numerals, until the beginning of the twentieth century, why has China never been popularized and popular? Do you have to wait until the door of the country is opened by Westerners and Chinese people begin to learn modern mathematics before Arabic numerals become the object of everyone's learning?

Anyway, in the past thousand years, and more than a thousand years in the future, the entire East is the final say of this continent.

At least in the field of culture, absolutely.

So Li Yuanjia's idea is very simple, just make a book and promote it. As long as the nobles of Tubo believe it, they will naturally buy tea from Datang in the future, and the horses that Datang needs will naturally pay......

After listening to him finish his thoughts, Li Shimin suddenly became happy: "Are you really stupid to be a Tubo person?" They also believe the fake news from the past that Datang has transmitted? ”

"Second brother, who said it was fake news?"

His eyes narrowed slightly, and Li Yuanjia smiled slightly: "Remember what I told you before, right?" I once read in a book that tea really works! People, not only to eat meat, but also to eat grains, eat vegetables and grains, in order to be healthy, the terrain of Tibet is too high, although there is no shortage of meat, but there is a lack of vegetables, especially in winter! Moreover, eating meat and drinking milk all year round must be greasy in the mouth, and tea can also relieve greasy...... Haha, it doesn't work, in fact, just give it a try and you'll know! ”

For his own judgment, Li Yuanjia is full of confidence.

He was a doctor in his last life, so he naturally understands this truth, but he is not very sure whether tea is so important. After all, he had learned all the regular medicines, and had never understood what tea was.

But since tea can become a strategic material in China's history, it should be true.

A look of helplessness flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, and he waved his hand and said, "Okay, I know, if you have the strength to do it, it will be a failure." However, the Tibetan Mountains are high and the road is far away, and it may not be easy for you to do business there. ”

In his heart, the emperor did not believe his brother's words.

After all, from ancient times to the present, there has never been such a strong wine in the land of China, and no one has found that tea is not only used to eat, soak in water and drink, but also cure diseases without vegetables and vegetables...... However, Li Shimin has heard a lot about tea as a medicinal thing!

So in the emperor's mind, this kid is just trying to find a reason to make money!

Sometimes Li Shimin really wanted to throw the cup on his table, regardless of the emperor's demeanor, he grabbed Lao Eleven's collar, and asked him whether the Tang Dynasty had treated him badly as a prince, or if the family really didn't have enough money to spend, why did he have to focus on business?

There are thirteen incense in the front, white paper in the back, and now I want to do the spirits and tea on it......

Do you look at the other princes, there are so many things?

Li Shimin really hopes that his younger brothers can be honest, how good is reading, writing poetry, painting or something? Those who like beautiful women marry a few more, those who like luxury houses build a few more, no matter how bad they are, they can be like Li Yuanying's bastard thing!

It's better to be a bastard prince than to do business!

Anyway, every time I hear Shiyi Lang talk about these things, Li Shimin always has the urge to beat him up violently - you, a prince of the Tang Dynasty, always want to do business, are you ashamed? !

However, every time this impulse arises, Li Shimin can always suppress it.

Without him, Li Yuanjia did bring him a lot of surprises.

It's just an iron pot to stir-fry thirteen spices or something, just like tables and chairs, it just makes ordinary life more comfortable, but the white paper of Han Wangfu surprised Li Shimin, not to mention the Quyuan plough and overturn, which are extremely important to Datang. It seems that this kid can always do things that others can't do, or even think of, and this is the reason why Li Shimin moved this eleventh brother to the king of Han and let him move to Chang'an.

And......

Just talking about the matter of spirits and tea, what Li Yuanjia said is not unreasonable!

Although Li Shimin always feels that it sounds unreliable, people are justified and well-founded, and it seems that there is no evidence to prove that these statements are wrong.

So, there's no harm in trying, isn't it?

If it can really be exchanged for cattle, sheep and even horses from those Fanbangs, as Eleven Lang said, it will be of countless benefits to Datang. At least every year, you have to take out the iron, salt, etc., which are used to exchange for horses, and maybe you can save some......

……

"Gollum...... Gollum ......"

On the way back to Shengyefang from Daxing Palace, Li Yuanjia always had a smile on his face.

He knew that Li Shimin didn't pay much attention to the so-called spirits and tea sounds, so he was also very indifferent. Moreover, Li Yuanjia also knew that it was definitely not easy for him to bring the sound of liquor and tea to the northern prairie, as well as Tubo, the Western Regions and other places.

Not to mention the long distance, the traffic situation is extremely bad.

But fortunately, he never planned to do it himself, but was going to find some businessmen to do it - not to mention the merchants of Datang, that is, merchants from other countries, which one in Chang'an City did not?

At its peak, the claim of 100,000 foreigners in Chang'an City was not just a joke and an exaggeration.

And don't forget, he, the king of Han, is still Yongzhou Mu. Although it is a false title, and Li Yuanjia has never really done anything, but is it difficult for him to ask Yang Su for help, so that he can find businessmen from several countries?

Next, it's just a matter of yield.

Tea is easy to say, anyway, there is land in Jiangnan that can be bought, and the output can be increased sooner or later by piling up time, but you need to pay attention not to make the output too high before the sales go up; However, if you want to brew high-grade liquor on a large scale, it will be more troublesome, and it will consume food and iron, which are all things that make the imperial court very sensitive.

Therefore, Li Yuanjia had to come to the palace to give the emperor a preventive shot.

After all, it is difficult to popularize tea, and it may take dozens or even hundreds of years, but wine is the same as smoke, and it is difficult to say clearly - Li Shimin may not be used to taking small sips of wine, but the strong men on the prairie may fall in love with it at once?

When the time comes, if the consumption of pig iron and grain increases greatly, if you don't say hello in advance, there will be a bad misunderstanding. After all, in this era, both food and iron are very important strategic materials......
