Chapter 630: Li Shimin looked at the map and fell into deep thought

Songtsen Gampo and Shangxiang glanced at each other, and the joy in their eyes could be seen, which was ...... That's great!

Although they have rivers in Tibet, no one will get any boats or anything like that, and after they came to this Jieri Dynasty, they crossed the river from local people who helped them build some small boats.

They didn't understand how to build ships and wharves and ports, and Songtsen Gampo promised Li Ke that he was just thinking about arresting someone to help him build it.

Now I didn't expect that he didn't have to spend this money!

And, more crucially, he can now get his supplies at a much faster rate.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Songtsen Gampo stood up and saluted Li Ke, he felt that he could only say these four words now.

Li Ke also stood up, stretched out his hand and patted Songtsen Gampo's shoulder, and said lightly: "Xiao Song, this king likes to make money if he doesn't like anything else, life is in the world, eating, drinking and having fun is fundamental, what royal power and wealth are not brought to life and death are not brought away, it is not interesting." The most important thing is to live and have fun. ”

"So, as long as it doesn't stop me from making money, I can be friends with anyone, but if someone stands in the way of me making money, then there is an old saying in the Central Plains, cutting off people's financial routes is like killing parents, and the revenge of killing my father will inevitably be avenged."

Li Shimin: "......"

Songtsen Gampo hurriedly said: "It is my honor to make money for His Highness. ”

"Don't worry, I like to work with others to win the most money, we all win together this is the king, although I said I am making money, but you are also making money, aren't you? For example, these lands, the people on the land, this is all the wealth of your Komatsu. ”

"And I just like gold and silver, so let's not be afraid to tell you that before I came, I went to real wax and other places to negotiate business with them, such as rice and other grains, and exchanged them for silk from my Datang, and the price was about forty stone rice for one silk."

"But with you, I can give you 30 stone for this price! It doesn't matter if you exchange it for rice or gold or silver, you can do it. Li Ke said with a calm face, "Linen, silk, tea, porcelain, I only charge seventy percent of the price of your real wax." ”

After Songtsen Gampo was stunned for a moment, the whole person's face was ecstatic, he knew how cheap the grain was in this place of the Jieri Dynasty, if it was before, he couldn't think of this price, because Tubo was also poor, and the price of grain was even more expensive than that of the Tang Dynasty.

But after coming here, Songtsen Gampo found that the price of grain here was ridiculously low, focusing on the ridiculously expensive silk cloth and porcelain of the Tang Dynasty.

In the early stage, he used the silk and other silk sold to him by Li Ke at a low price in exchange for a large amount of grain here.

Now he is not short of food, of course, the slaves in Tibet must be lacking, but those slaves can eat barley, and they still want to eat rice? Of course, these rice should be exchanged with His Highness for these materials first, and then used to earn a lot of gold and silver.

As for the grain, he can exchange it with the Gundam Kingdom or the Shalouqi Dynasty, and he can earn a lot of food for himself.

With this food, he was able to emigrate more slaves, and these slaves could help him secure his rule here.

"Moreover, I can even sell you arrows, arrows of iron arrows, or some war horses." Li Ke suddenly spoke again.

Songtsen Gampo didn't know how to do it, if His Royal Highness King Qin did this, even if he asked him to call his father, he would be willing to call him.

"Your Highness, don't worry, I, Tubo, am the most loyal ally of the Tang Dynasty." Songtsen Gampo said in a deep voice.

"It doesn't matter." Li Ke patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and then said in a flat tone: "It doesn't matter whether you Tubo and I are loyal allies or not, as long as you don't block me from making money, if your Tubo is not good for my Datang, it is not my Li Ke's business, it is the business of countless generals in Datang." ”

"At that time, they naturally went to destroy you and Tibet, and it had nothing to do with me, as long as you helped me make money."

Songtsen Gampo paused for a moment, and it suddenly occurred to him that the person in front of him was not the crown prince or the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and it seemed normal to have such thoughts.

If His Royal Highness King Qin is the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty and can inherit the throne, then they can buy more good things from the Tang Dynasty.

"I'll have someone give you a price list later, and when the time comes, trade will take place at the mouth of the river. Of course, if you can't hold these places, then the trade between us can also be stopped. Li Ke said lightly.

"Your Highness, please rest assured, if you can't even stand this bit of territory, where will I have the honor to help you make money?" Songtsen Gampo took a deep breath and said.

"Personally, I think that after you take Wangshe City, you must already have some war horses in your hands, but cavalry is not so easy to form, you can properly organize some cavalry troops to enter the territory of the Jieri Dynasty to harass, just like Murong Shun did in your territory in Tubo."

"In this way, firstly, to train your cavalry troops, and secondly, to weaken the enemy's strength, lest they gather easily, and give you more time to digest your own territory." Li Ke gave him another suggestion.

In this way, you will be able to attract most of the army of the Ring Sun Dynasty, and when I get to the other side of the Indian Peninsula, the pirates under the village of Monobe will attack that land, and the troops will naturally be empty.

……

When Li Ke painted cakes for Songtsan Ganbu, in Chang'an, thousands of miles away, Li Shimin looked at the map in front of him and fell into thought.

In front of him were two maps, the first of which had been sent back first.

It is a map of the islands such as the southern road of the Tang Ridge and Yazhou in the south, and then there is an additional Luzon island on the map.

When the map was sent, it also attached a piece of Li Ke's recital, which wrote that the land area of the Tang Dynasty was expanded, and the island was officially included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, named Luzon Island, and said that gold deposits had been found on the island, and it was estimated that there were at least 500 tons of reserves.

Ton of this unit Li Shimin already knew, about 16 stone more than 17 stone. In other words, there are 8,000 stone of gold here!

Eight thousand stones, what a concept!

It's just that Li Shimin didn't have long since he digested this map, and not long ago, he received a second map sent over.

And this time, the Linyi country on the map is gone, and it has become the Xianglinyi County of the Tang Dynasty...... It is said that the king and his family of Linyi are on their way to Chang'an to ask for sin.

The point is that Datang took Linyi Kingdom, and then asked Zhenwax for 10 million stone of grain compensation?! And in about the next two years, at least 40 million stone rice will be transported from real wax into Datang?!

Li Shimin's whole person is stupid, 40 million stone rice?! What a concept it is.

Calculating the time, half a month has passed since I got the second map, which is ...... Could it be that a third map is coming?!
