Chapter 779: Poor Songtsen Gampo (Calling for a Monthly Pass)

A group of courtiers who couldn't cry or laugh on the side hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded them with kind words and comfort, and finally prevented a hand-to-hand fight that was likely to happen for the champion and runner-up. I have some regrets, but if these two old hooligans really fight on the podium for a small championship, I am afraid that they will become the laughing stock of the whole Tang Dynasty and the opposition for thousands of years, right?

However, Uncle Li's team is indeed as Uncle Cheng said, when the championship and runner-up were in the battle, Li Su was a beast with a cold, according to the news revealed to me privately by Jiang Wang Li Yun, this Li Su and a certain Red Pavilion person prepared to fight for 300 rounds last night, unexpectedly, someone flew to report that Uncle Li was going to gather everyone to discuss the strategy and tactics of the second day, and he was already waiting for him to wait impatiently, and scared this guy out of the door with his bare buttocks, and as a result, he appeared on the field with two long noses in tow today.

And Li Yun, the informant, was self-sustaining in the first two years, and after getting drunk, he compared with the youngest sixth uncle of Uncle Cheng's family, but now the two black circles are still like giant pandas.

As for Li Zhen, this sauerkraut prince who was in front of me all day long when I was a teacher still has no meat, his body is thin, squatting on horseback, like a thin door panel, the oldest is Uncle Li: forty-nine years old, and Li Zhi is the youngest: eighteen. And their opponents, Uncle Li Ji and Su Dingfang, have the largest age difference and are not more than 20 years old. So Uncle Cheng's words about the old, weak, sick and disabled are really not wrong.

Fortunately, everyone knows what Uncle Cheng's old scoundrel is, so Uncle Li also decided to be magnanimous and not to worry about him, anyway, he has the championship in hand, and he still cares about a fart.

The sensational Winter Games in Chang'an came to an end again, this time, almost everyone was happy, and the veteran ruffian team composed of Uncle Cheng and others, after I quietly discussed with Uncle Li Jing, the academy's sacrificial wine, finally gave a best fashion award, which finally comforted the dissatisfaction of these veteran ruffians.

The next day was to return to the past, but the news from Wajima really made people happy at the end of the twentieth year of Zhenguan, and at the end of December, the first batch of gold, silver and copper mined from Wajima finally arrived in Chang'an on the last day of the new year.

Seven hundred catties of gold, five thousand catties of silver, and 17,000 catties of copper, according to the officials who came to Chang'an with the materials, this is the beginning, and it is expected that after that, the monthly output will only be higher than this amount, and it will definitely not be low.

------------------------------------------------ and I, I also posted these good news to "Datang Times Weekly" and "Datang Daily". The people of Chang'an are all praised. Moreover, the spoils obtained from this war against Baekje and the Wa Kingdom exceeded the expenses of the Tang Dynasty treasury by several times.

This also surprised some officials who originally supported and opposed the war, but although Uncle Li was also very happy, he did not lose his mind, because Uncle Li also understood that war can certainly benefit the country, but blindly using force to resolve disputes will make Datang's self-confidence over-inflated, and will cause instability in the international environment around Datang.

Therefore, at the last great court meeting at the end of the twentieth year of Zhenguan, in front of the tributary envoys from various countries, Uncle Li made a promise to the country of the suzerain, and would never send troops to conquer any country for no reason. This is quite skillful, but it has played a role in stabilizing people's hearts.

At least, I saw the envoy of Tubo secretly wiping a cold sweat, and Su Dingfang next to me stabbed me. "Brother Jun, you said that Your Majesty said this, shouldn't you want to pretend to be merciful?" Although Su Dingfang's words were vulgar, they also represented an idea of the Tang military, that is, Uncle Li was just temporarily whitewashing the peace.

"That's nature, don't say anything else, the Western Turks, Tubo, Tuyuhun, and the big food that blocks our way to make money, our Datang will not spare these rats." I smiled proudly, now, my Datang East has no boundless worries, and the north, under the operation of Uncle Li's series of yin damage and poison schemes, I believe that in a maximum of ten years, Datang will have no more northern border troubles.

And in the south, the king of Linyi, Li Su, this guy is not a general, in the past two years, he has been grinding with Uncle Li, immigrating to the Linyi area, and now, the population of the Linyi area, the proportion of the Han nationality, has exceeded the aborigines, although there are many people who go, and it has not attracted too many complaints from the aborigines, there are two reasons, first, after Li Su arrived in Linyi, he put on a posture of a virtuous king, and treated the aborigines equally, and the proportion of taxes in the Tang Dynasty is lower than that of the original Linyi country, in addition, The population of Linyi is originally small, a large amount of land has not yet been cultivated, and the arrival of a large number of Han people, under the supervision of the government, most of them are newly excavated land to obtain fertile land, and have brought a large number of advanced farming technologies, which have benefited the local aborigines a lot, plus there are many descendants of Qin and Han immigrants in Linyi country, and the recognition of Han people is quite the same.

Uncle Li has asked me to start training a group of Qin and Han remnants specially recruited from Linyi to prepare for the infiltration and devouring of Zhenla in the future.

As for the six edicts in the south, now the old demon who is good at dancing with long sleeves and long sleeves by Tang Jian has been stabbed to a thousand holes, and the six edicts in the south are almost separate, hostile to each other, but they are all afraid of the Tang Dynasty's Tianwei expressed their goodwill to the Tang Dynasty, eager to seek the support of the Tang Dynasty to strangle their opponents to death, and a large number of business and trade exchanges, so that a large number of Han people influx, not only strengthened the Tang Dynasty's control over the southern frontier of the motherland, but also enabled the Tang Dynasty to use more means to further assimilate the southern ethnic minorities.

As for the west of the Tang Dynasty, the conquest of the Qiang people between Jiannan Province and Tubo has completely failed, and under the support and teaching of the Tang Dynasty, the Qiang people who were originally scattered in the western part of Jiannan have wholeheartedly taken refuge in the arms of the Tang Dynasty and become a solid barrier between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo. Of course, it is still far from the elite in my mind, but I believe that in the future, it will definitely become a sharp weapon for the Tang Dynasty to attack the southern territory.

In addition, the Dongnu Kingdom has been firmly controlled by the economic and cultural offensive of the Tang Dynasty, and the silk, porcelain, tea, high wine, and glass products of the Tang Dynasty have become the favorite things of the nobles of the Dongnu Kingdom, and the printing speed of the almost crazy poetry and books of the Tang Dynasty, the preferential price, and the addition of the Qiang people were originally a nation with only language and no writing. It will only remain in the memory of history.

------------------------------------------------ and the economic and cultural offensive of the Tang Dynasty is also reflected in the long-term strategy for Tibet, the inflow of a large number of luxury goods, so that the Tang Dynasty's officials and smugglers have become the most popular figures in the Tibetan tribes. And a large number of Buddhist texts poured into Tibet in an almost tasteless way, well, I think it is useful to use dumping to describe this cultural dumping strategy.

In addition, on another battlefield, well, that is, in the harem of Songtsen Gampo, the head of the Tubo state, the contradiction between Princess Qizun of Nepal and Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty finally emerged sharply. Poor Tubo lord Songtsen Gampo, well, it's really pitiful, because these two wives are supported by a powerful force behind them, and he can only be caught in the middle while being angry and staring dryly.

Originally, it originated from the dispute between Jokhang Temple and Xiaozhao Temple, Jokhang Temple, also known as Yangtu Shenchang Temple, is the most magnificent temple built after Tubo moved its capital to Luoshu City, enshrined a Ming Jiu Dorjee Buddha statue, that is, the eight-year-old statue of Sakyamuni, the Buddha statue was brought from Nipol by the Nepalese ruler Princess who was married by Songtsen Gampo, the lord of Tubo at that time.

To put it bluntly, that is, when Songtsen Gampo, the lord of Tubo, unified the various tribes of Tubo, in order to win support, he married the princess of Nipor and used Nipol as a backup, so a huge temple was specially built to enshrine the eight-year-old statue of Sakyamuni brought by the princess of Nipor.

Then, Princess Wencheng of the Tang Empire came, behind her, is far more powerful than the Nipol Empire thousands of times stronger, moreover, Princess Wencheng brought from the Tang Dynasty Chang'an to bring the twelve-year-old statue of Sakyamuni, the Tubo lord Songtsan Gampo built a temple, called "Jiada Remu Qizu Lakang", which means "Han Tiger Shenchang Temple", that is, Xiaozhao Temple.
