The reason why there were so many wars and conflicts in ancient times was that the rulers did not solve the problem of everyone's survival.

Like in later generations, when everyone eats and gets rich, basically no one wants to jump out and do such a thing.

Of course, the monarch cannot be blamed for this.

Due to the low productivity in ancient times, resources could only ensure the survival of some people, so they had to make some trade-offs.

If you have a thousand great truths, if you don't have food to eat, no one will tell you these truths.

Therefore, productivity is the root of solving all problems, and Sun Xiangfu, a traverser, solved the productivity of Datang, and those disputes caused by survival resources no longer existed.

Now, Datang has not only solved its own internal problems, but also solved the problems of the entire Eurasian continent and the entire human race, which is the meaning of launching a war of reunification.

It is necessary to convey such core ideas to the army in order to avoid many things that should not happen.

After the banquet was over, the two brothers, Li Tai and Li Ke, wrote these things that Sun Xiangfu said into a concert and reported it to Li Shimin, although it was a bit redundant, but they still did it.

How could Li Shimin, who set the idea of taking national integration as one of the core ideas of governing the country, not have such an understanding!

However, when Li Shimin saw their recitals, he was still a little relieved.

At least, these two sons can see the general trend clearly through some things, and know what is beneficial to the country, not mediocre people who are confused and have no long-term thinking.

Finally, the second sports conference will open in the expectation of everyone.

Li Shimin and his family all have to take a decorated big boat to appear, and the little guys of the Sun family also rubbed the boat, wearing very energetic new clothes, and mixed into a group of princes and princesses, anyway, when the worship ceremony is held, they will not go ashore, and when the worship ceremony is over, they will follow the royal team and go to a reserved place to watch the show.

In the crisp autumn weather, the sun is very bright, and the big ship gives people a great visual impact, because the decoration on the huge hull is a huge golden dragon shining in the sun, in order to make this decoration, but it took a lot of effort from carvers and lacquer craftsmen.

As Li Shimin and his wife helped Li Yuan to slowly get off the boat, the entire sports field began to become solemn.

This year's sports conference is not like three years ago, when it was in Dingxiang, when more than 2 million people watched it together.

There were less than 100,000 people in total who could get admission tickets and seats, and in addition, an open space where they could see the scene was opened for some people to stand and watch from afar.

Cruise ships on Long Lake can also see some of the situation of the main venue, but there is a large performance area on the lake that is isolated, and if they don't have binoculars, they can only have a rough look.

With the experience of being watched by millions of people, this kind of scene of more than 100,000 or 200,000 people, Li Shimin and his wife and Li Yuan didn't feel anything, but Li Chengqian was a little excited, and enjoyed this feeling of being in the spotlight very much.

This year, Sun Xiangfu can only stand in the second row of the courtiers, because there are Feng An, Li Jing, Fang Xuanling, and Wen Yanbo in front of him, and the four officials are taller than him.

Kang Bao kept writhing in Sun Xiangfu's arms, looking around. Sun Jing and Sun Wanting were not in the seats, one holding a telescope, like many little princes, crowded in the front row, watching the show on the field, Sun Xiaomei took care of them on the side, Wu Meiniang's father was in Jiangling City this year, so she could enter this area without Sun Xiangfu's help.

Of course, their telescopes look at different people. At this time, Yu Xiuer had already held the red tassel in her hand and directed the musician team to start playing, but the first few pieces of the opening were conducted by her personally, and later, there will be a few big musicians to take over, after all, this theatrical performance is more than three hours long.

The first program is the singing and dancing of the Tujia family in Shannan Province, thousands of people, dressed in characteristic ethnic minority costumes, holding a long drum of leather, running quickly to the field in the queue, at the same time, rowing dozens of bamboo rows, also to the performance venue on the surface of the long lake, quickly lined up into a shape, the bamboo row on the man, the waist is tied with red silk, wearing a striped red scarf wrapped around the hat, the long bamboo pole, is their dancing props.

"Yo~, yo, yo."

Yelling is a prelude to the performance, after all, without sound equipment, you can't achieve solo.

"The descendants of the mountains ~ love the sun ~ the sun loves yo ~ the people in the mountains."

After a shouting session, the gong and drum music entered a cheerful rhythm.

"The mountain road here has eighteen bends, and the waterway here has nine links ······"

In fact, many people present at the moment have already heard the solo version, but this kind of big scene of a thousand dances can give them a different feeling, and soon, they will enter a state of intoxication.

In the stands, Wen Yanbo, who was sitting with Fang Xuanling, sighed with a smile after more than half of the song, "Speaking of this, promote national integration!" It's really the best effect of this literary song and dance performance. A few years ago, who would have thought that these ethnic minorities living in the mountains could learn our Chinese so well, and they could still sing in Chinese and express their feelings. ”

"Hehe, what Zhengming's brain came up with, there is nothing that is not useful, didn't you see a performance in Wang's Restaurant two days ago, two singers of the Yunnan Art Troupe, a man and a woman, sang a new work of Zhengming, called "Butterfly Spring", that beautiful, even the old man recalled some affectionate scenes when he was a young man, and he wanted to go to Yunnan to see it." Fang Xuanling said with a smile.

"Yes, I'm afraid this is what Zhengming wants to achieve, not to mention, I also heard a wonderful song at Chen's Hotel yesterday, it is the tone of Lingnan, although I didn't fully understand it, but I think it's very pleasant······"

The charm of folk songs is difficult for people to be low-grade, it can easily move everyone who loves life, even in the later generations with the strong impact of pop music, many works can still maintain a high degree of popularity for decades, or even more than a hundred years, and go through multiple era backgrounds without being eliminated.

The effect of using its powerful charm to promote cultural propaganda and promote national integration is very positive and effective, which has been verified in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Therefore, this opening ceremony theatrical performance is undoubtedly a success, especially at the beginning of the "Chashan Love Song" performed by the local Han people in Shannan Province, the emperor and his wife personally went down and danced with the people, which pushed the atmosphere of the whole venue to the climax.

With the continuous staging of these programs in various venues in Gangneung City, all the people of all nationalities who come to Gangneung City to watch the excitement will have a deeper impression and more cognition of each other, and gradually eliminate the estrangement between various ethnic groups since the Wuhu Rebellion.

At the beginning of the sports meeting, Gangneung City, which was already very lively, was boiling everywhere like a pot of boiling water, and not only on the field, all kinds of tense and fierce competitions were going on, but also outside the field, all kinds of political consultations were also in full swing.

Unconsciously, every empire and kingdom, when doing any big thing, is more or less related to Datang, because Datang's economy is too large, and a stomp of the foot can make them want to die.

According to the second step of the expansion plan negotiated by the ministers and Li Shimin, it was to promote monetary unification.

Now, all countries need to find trade with the Tang Dynasty, including an old and powerful empire like Byzantium, and the Tang Dynasty only recognizes Tang money, with the stability of the prices of the Tang Dynasty and the exquisite coins, Li Shimin brought up this matter at the banquet to entertain the heads of state, and it quickly got a response from many kingdoms.

In their opinion, this is a good thing to improve the quality of coins and facilitate transactions, although they need to hand over their gold, silver and copper to the Tang Dynasty to mint coins, there will be some loss, but the new coins minted will not be as fast as the coins they held in the past, and they will rot and wear out as quickly.

The point is, if they agree to use all Tang money under their own rule, the Tang Dynasty will send personnel to their country to open money banks and mints.

Representatives of various countries who can communicate with Datang, no one is a fool, there is a Datang money bank in their own country, how much benefit can be brought to them, they can list dozens of them at will, just bearer deposit transactions, can greatly facilitate their daily transactions, and in the local deposit, remote withdrawal of this service, but also for them to save a lot of money transportation expenses.

For example, Heraclius, this time he came to Datang, he brought eighty camels of gold, and there were dozens of people who needed to take care of the camels and load and unload the goods, and at least hundreds of people were needed to protect the safety of these camels. At least tens of thousands.

But if Datang has a money bank branch in the Byzantine Empire, then it will be convenient for him, he only needs to deposit the gold in Datang's bank, and he can bring a deposit fold to Datang's side, and when he needs to use money, he can go directly to the money bank here to withdraw money, and large expenses can be directly transferred.

Of course, such a matter of entrusting the currency to someone else to manage, Heraclius would certainly not have done it lightly, and he may not have done such a lord before he inherited the throne.

But if he doesn't do it, others will, when those small kingdoms have exchanged money for Tang money, if you want to trade with them, you also need to use Tang money to settle, which makes him depressed.

In just a few years after the Tang Dynasty issued new currency, almost one-third of the coins in the Byzantine Empire became Tang money, if it weren't for their strong gold and silver mining capacity, there would be a money shortage in China, and after the implementation of Datang's policy, there is no need to think about it, Heraclius also knows that the speed of money flowing into Datang will intensify.

When the Byzantine Empire used money for foreign countries, it needed to be exchanged for Tang money, and when foreigners used money for the Byzantine Empire, they all gave Tang money, they didn't want to change, and they had to change.

This is not like the era of banknotes in later generations, there are more professional calculation methods, calculate the exchange rate, this is an era when the coin itself has ultra-high value, and gold, silver and copper are the currency recognized by everyone, and its value is directly linked to the grain of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, when Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others kept signing agreed agreements with various countries, Herac panicked, he couldn't imagine that even big empires like Dashi and Persia would sign agreements with Datang as soon as possible.

No way, don't say that this is the trend of the times, these two countries, after that, they will both point to Datang to live! The cooperation that Li Tai talked about with them made them have to bow their heads!
