Chapter 621: Datang True Wax "Elephant Forest Treaty"

"Your Highness, I have no problem with this, whether it is silk or porcelain, I can eat tea." Without saying a word, Bapo agreed directly.

Li Ke smiled, "I just came here to talk, and my Datang caravan will come here to do business in the future, but before that, I still have a few requirements." ”

"Your Highness, please speak." Ba Po said quickly.

"In order to facilitate my Datang merchants and my Datang officials to do business with you, I ask you to use my Datang currency for real wax, for this reason, I can make a little profit and only charge you ten percent of the loss, that is, you give me one hundred yuan of goods, and I will give you ninety yuan of Datang copper coins." Li Ke said with an "impatient" face.

As he spoke, he took out a box from the side, then opened it and returned it to Bapo.

Ba Po was stunned for a moment, then reached out and pulled the box over, and then took out a copper coin from the box, this is a yellowed copper coin, slightly smaller than the previous Datang Kaiyuan Tongbao, but this is not the point, the point is its delicacy!

Ba Po is a little stupid, and Datang's Kaiyuan Tongbao is just a square hole in the middle, with four words around, and both sides are the same.

But this coin is different, it has a circular hole in the middle, the left and right sides of the circular hole are written: "Yiwen" words, on the top of the text is a delicate peony, and there is a line of small characters below: Datang Tongbao. On the other hand, there is a complex pattern around the circle around the coin.

On the back of it is a different style, above the circular hole in the middle is a Datang national flag, and above the national flag around the circular edge is a line of small characters, very small small characters: Datang National Central Money Zhuang System.

Below the circular hole are the same four words: Tang Empire.

Below the Tang Empire is the words: 20 years of the Tang Dynasty.

In terms of the fineness of this coin, Papa Kshatriya felt that it was a work of art.

Real wax actually has its own copper coins, which are similar to Datang Kaiyuan Tongbao, but the number is very small, because the current real wax has just annexed Funan, and the currency is not enough, only a very small number of currencies, and Datang's currency is popular in their real wax.

In fact, they have the same problem as Datang, that is, the problem of not having enough copper coins.

It's not that they don't want to mint money, it's mainly that they can't afford it, because the loss is too serious.

One percent of the loss is the loss of materials, if you count the labor and casting process, at least close to one into five.

So if you can't afford it, you can simply mix snakes and dragons, and there are all kinds of currencies, and the Kaiyuan Tongbao of the Tang Dynasty also has them here, and even the currency of the Great Sui is quite a lot here.

All of them know the benefits of currency unification, but the problem is that they can't afford to build it, and now His Royal Highness King Qin actually said that he would help them build it? And as long as one percent of the loss?!

"Is Your Highness serious?!" Baba Kshatriya almost couldn't hold back the surprise in his heart.

As for what is wrong with using the currency of other countries, the Baba Kshatriya does not understand it at all, or it has long been accustomed to it, whether it is the currency of the former Sui and other currencies that have always been in circulation in them, and secondly, in the hearts of these kings, the currency itself has value, because it is minted in copper, it is a value in itself, and there is no question of who uses it and who does not use it.

For them, someone makes it for them, and that's the most enjoyable thing.

"Nonsense, if it weren't for trade, how could I give you this discount and only charge you one percent of the loss?" Li Ke waved his hand impatiently and said, "The premise of our business is this, first let your real wax domestic circulation of my Datang currency, so that it is conducive to our businessmen to do business with you." ”

"When the time comes, our merchants in Datang will not only buy what I buy and sell with you, but also some high-quality salt, sugar and other crops will be sold to you."

"I'm fine." Baba Kshatriya resolutely agreed, "When I go back, I will ask my father and the king, and I will reply to His Highness." ”

"It's not a solicitation." Li Ke knocked on the table, and then said with a cold face: "This is an order, in addition, in order to avoid any problems with the delivery of currency, we will open Guluo City (Later Nha Trang), and the main currency transactions at that time will come from here." ”

"You can transport all the coins of your real wax to this place, and then exchange them with Datang for the relevant currency. I allow you to settle the bill by weighing. ”

"Yes! Thank you, Your Highness. Baba Kshatriya bowed down again.

"I warn you." Li Ke pointed at him, and then continued to say coldly: "I'm not interested in your real wax and other things, but I can tell you that I'm very interested in making money, you should know some of my reputation in Datang, you can stop me from doing anything, but if you block me from making money, then don't blame me for being unkind." ”

"This is me, if it were my father and emperor here today, the compensation of 10 million stone grain would not solve the problem at all."

"Yes!" Papa Kshatriya agreed with a "panicked" face.

But his heart is very excited, he likes to make money, His Royal Highness King Qin is making money, why is he not making money? As long as both sides have money to earn, this condition of His Royal Highness King Qin is not a condition at all.

Unexpectedly, Datang is still willing to help them mint currency with real wax? Is there such a good thing in the world?

If it weren't for the fact that His Royal Highness King Qin liked money, how could such a benefit be given? Ba Po thought about it, he felt that he should talk to his father after he went back, or else give His Highness some more losses? For example, one into five? Even if it is one into five, if the Tang Dynasty has enough currency, it will be of great benefit to their real wax, and presumably no one will object to the ministers.

The negotiation with Bapo went smoothly, and this negotiation was not just a lip service, but also included the relevant contracts, including the requirements that real wax must make its own domestic circulation of Datang's currency, all of which were written into the compensation contract.

After the two sides negotiated some details, the "Xianglin Treaty" was officially signed.

"Treaty provisions": 1. True wax shall compensate Datang with 10 million stone of grain or equivalent gold within two years, and if the compensation is gold, it will be calculated based on the price of Datang grain.

2. Real wax has the obligation to encourage its people to grow more grain and trade with Datang, in order to facilitate trade between the two sides, real wax will abolish all domestic currency within one year, and change to a new currency in circulation Datang, and the minting of the currency will be responsible for Datang, and the loss will be tentatively set at one percent.

3. If real wax wants to exchange more ores such as copper ore for minted currency, the relevant price needs to be reformulated.

Fourth, Datang can hand over the right to trade Datang goods from all countries west of Gaoda to Zhenwax, and the royal family of Zhenwax shall not trade the Datang currency circulating in Zhenwax to other countries without the permission of Datang.

5. In the Nanyang region, if any country is disrespectful to Datang, when Datang uses force, Zhenwax has the obligation to send troops to follow Datang's actions.
