Qin Wang Qian was officially renamed the Tang Dynasty Coin and the Tang Dynasty Banknote, and the coins were gold, silver and copper coins. Banknotes are paper money.

Li Yuanxing's boat carried a large number of Datang coins.

The next day, Li Yuanxing invited the Sinhalese king to dinner.

When the Sinhalese king heard the news, he made his palace a whole and changed his clothes dozens of times, for fear of leaving a bad impression in front of the king of Qin.

However, at the moment, the Sinhalese King prefers to be called not the Sinhalese King, but the Sinhalese Duke.

The king is higher than the prince, but an indigenous king is simply a low-level creature compared to the prince of the Tang Dynasty.

Gifts, but what kind of gifts should you prepare?

"Send a treasure!" The former minister of the Sinhalese Kingdom, now the governor of the Sinhalese Duke's Palace, also has an identity card of the Tang Dynasty nobles, and in his eyes, the treasure is the best gift.

The Sinhalese King shook his head: "Venerable King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, there are any treasures I haven't seen." There is only what he does not want, and there is nothing that he does not get. Such a noble big man does not have half a piece of jewelry on his body, which can only prove that the treasure is like clay in the eyes of the noble King Qin of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Then send the woman. I heard that the princess of the noble Tang Dynasty King Qin was missing, and sent a woman. ”

"Stupid!" The Sinhalese king slammed his biggest brain on the head. "Tell you to read more, tell you to buy more newspapers, and all your time is spent counting treasures and women. How many powerful countries are lined up to try their best to send their princesses to the Qin Palace. ”

I don't have an idea, I really don't have any gifts worth giving.

Night. The Grand Duke of Sinhala personally went to the residences of dozens of Tang magnates here, just to ask a question about what gift to give to the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty.

On the contrary, this question stopped the Tang magnates.

In the end, it was an old and respectful person who told the King of Sinhala: "Just get your heart, His Royal Highness the King of Qin doesn't care about your little gift." ”

Li Yuanxing may have really cared about it before, at least it was a rare treasure, and he definitely liked it.

Right now, Li Yuanxing really doesn't care about any gifts.

The Sinhalese king brought with him a stone, an unpolished sapphire the size of a volleyball. Such a gem. Put it in modern times. Directly suppressed the Heart of the Ocean, this weight alone shocked the world, the difference is the color, but it is also blue and beautiful.

"Thank you for your gems. This piece was accepted by the king. Lan Shan: She loves sapphires! ”

Who is Lan Shan?

The Sinhalese king did not dare to ask more. As long as the King of Tang Qin accepted his gift. And he was very happy.

"There is one thing that may not be good for your kingdom. This king doesn't want to lie to you. So please come over for lunch and talk about it. Li Yuanxing motioned for the food to be served, and asked someone to set a table.

What is the mind of the king of Sinhala to eat, and it is more practical to be able to talk to the king of Qin than to eat.

On the table were the coins of the Tang Dynasty, the copper coins were packed in wooden boxes, and the banknotes were placed between the glass plates.

"This is Datang's coin, I've seen this!" King of Sinhala.

"The deal on the island, whatever it is. They are all converted into the price of rice, and then traded for goods. Its practical coin means that all goods can be priced with coins, which is helpful for trade. But ......," Li Yuanxing said and stopped here.

In fact, there are coins, which is a very good thing for the Sinhalese king.

At least it is easier to trade with Datang, and it is more convenient to trade with other ports.

Just hearing this, however, the Sinhalese King still listened very carefully, and wanted to listen to what the Tang Qin King had to say.

"However, you can't make your own coins. Using Datang coins, for you, you will never be able to do without Datang here, and will slowly become a part of Datang. To put it more realistically, if you want to become hostile with Datang in the future, just because you use Datang coins this time, this war will not be able to be fought. ”

War, hostility?

Who will go crazy and fight against Datang. The Great Cannibal was extremely powerful, but the Tang Dynasty did not even send out the main army, and even the armed warships of some caravans destroyed all the power of the Great Cannibal in the sea off Tianzhu.

Only a madman would go against Datang.

Thinking of this, the Sinhalese king immediately said loudly: "I am willing to become a state of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

"Well, listen to the opinions of the people around you. If you agree, the king will arrange for a silver village to be built here, which is the place responsible for managing coins, and there will be special people to teach you how to use coins. ”

The Sinhalese king always believed that if this became a state of the Tang Dynasty, his wealth would increase indefinitely.

There are so many magical things, if they can be produced here and sold to Tianzhu, he can fill the whole house with Datang gold coins, instead of carefully storing such a small box of Datang gold coins as he does now.

What did you have for lunch? The Sinhalese king must not have remembered it, only the coins.

When he left, someone sent a return gift from the King of Qin, a small box of gold coins from the Tang Dynasty, and when he opened it, the Sinhalese King had a feeling of intoxication, these gold coins were more than the number of gold coins he collected. There are a hundred of them, and I heard that with so many gold coins, you can exchange them for dozens of silk horses in Chang'an City!

The Sinhalese king left happily, having already made up his mind to let Ceylon use the Tang coins.

Li You didn't understand, or there were many powerful people in Li You's faction who didn't understand, so they just pushed Li You out to ask questions.

Li You asked Li Yuanxing: "Uncle Five Emperors, you don't understand. Why did he say so bluntly, You could figure out that when Datang coins were fully used here, it would be impossible for them to be enemies of Datang again. The coins of the Tang Dynasty are related to the lives of both the nobles and the common people. ”

"Especially after the massive circulation of banknotes!" Li Yuanxing added.

"You understand, the household department has already taught us a lesson, paper money is called credit currency, which is guaranteed by Datang's credibility and Datang's large gold inventory, a currency that has no value but has actual purchasing power. Therefore, when paper money was used here, they didn't dare to say no to Datang at all! ”

Li You's interpretation of the banknotes seems to be a little bit worse.

Li Yuanxing didn't want to study what paper money was anymore, so he probably meant it.

"Actually, in the current state of Datang, there is no need to play conspiracy with these small states. You speak directly about your ideas, your purpose, and they won't disagree. Even if you don't agree, if you don't agree to this method, within a few months, ordinary people and low-level elites will put pressure on the upper class, and no matter how serious it is, they will rebel, so there is no need to play a conspiracy and trick him into promising something, or promising something? ”

Li You still didn't understand much, but his task was to ask King Qin what he thought.

Li You left, Li Yuanxing played with the ring in his hand, and said to Pei Xi beside him: "Send someone to check, where is Xuanzang?" ”

"Your Highness?" Pei Xi didn't understand that this monk could do a lot of ruthless things back then, so he asked deliberately to see what else Li Yuanxing had arranged.

"Go and find it, I just want to know where he is."

"Yes!" Hearing Li Yuanxing's order, Pei Xi hurriedly went out to make arrangements.

Tianzhu is not small, but the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty does not want to find someone, he just wants to find an ant, and Pei Xi can also find a way to find it.

In fact, at this time, Xuanzang was sitting in Beitianzhu, the king of the ring.

Just when Li Yuanxing ordered to find Xuanzang, Xuanzang was writing his travelogue.

He divides every day into three hours, one time to manage the government, and the other time to cultivate good fortune, tirelessly, and exhaustively every day. "He made Kanaoji his capital, but he often traveled within his borders, collecting tributes from his ministers, issuing decrees, and erecting monuments to promote his achievements.

This he refers to the king of the ring of the North Tianzhu.

Northern Tianzhu under the rule of the King of the Ring of the Sun is not a complete unified country, but is only in awe of the strong military power of the King of the Ring of the Sun, so dozens of small countries and small states are subject to the orders of the King of the Ring of the Sun. In addition to sending troops to help fight the war, it is to pay tribute, to give gifts.

The religious philosophy of the King of the Ring of the Sun is to unite with the gods and coexist with the world for the benefit of the world.

Of course, he, the union of gods, has the idea of uniting other kingdoms, and he also has his idea of unifying Tianzhu.

Xuanzang came to Tianzhu earlier than in history, he traveled to Tianzhu countries, constantly preached, and constantly put forward his ideas about Buddhism, which was recognized by many kings, and also received the attention of the king on the day of the ring.

Jiewangri believes that this monk from the Tang Dynasty in the Eastern Soil can help him unify his teachings and further unify Tianzhu.

But the idea is good, but in fact it is different.

That is, when Li Yuanxing ordered to find Xuanzang, the Jieri Dynasty sent an envoy for the first time, but it was by land, not by water, and it was necessary to cross Annan, which was conquered by Li Er, and enter the Tang Dynasty.

A few days later, Pei Xi came to Li Yuanxing.

"Your Highness, King Shaqilou sent an envoy to invite His Highness to the city of Shaqilou King. The envoy proposed that he was willing to take the Tang Dynasty as the suzerain, open the port, and not collect a penny of tariffs in the next ten years. Pei Xi reported very seriously.

Li Yuanxing bit a cigarette and asked rhetorically: "Didn't they make a request?" ”

"Nope!" After Pei Xi replied, he added: "Your Highness, there is information from the Imperial Security Division, saying that it is a small subordinate state of Shaqilou, which has been annexed by the Ring Sun Dynasty, and a few more are also very dangerous, and at most they will not last next year." So the subordinates thought that they might want to buy some weapons. ”

"The King of the Sun, a hero who doesn't have much wisdom. He did not unify Northern Tianzhu, but only relied on force to obtain the submission of many people. Send more people, it is estimated that Xuanzang is there with the King of the Ring Sun. ”

Pei Xi nodded: "Your Highness, the subordinate boldly asked." After finding Xuanzang, what did you do? ”

"This king just wants to talk to him."

"Your Majesty will immediately send more men." Pei Xi didn't dare to ask more, but he didn't believe in chatting or anything in his heart. In Pei Xi's eyes, Xuanzang is a good person, if he can work, he will work honestly.

If you can't, just kill it with a knife. (To be continued......)
