    King Qin's money was officially renamed as Tang Dynasty currency and Tang Dynasty banknote. The coins were gold, silver and copper coins.  Banknotes are paper money.  Li Yuanxing carried a large amount of Tang Dynasty coins on his boat.  The next day, Li Yuanxing invited the Sinhalese King to dinner.  When the Sinhalese King heard the news, he completely changed his palace and changed his clothes dozens of times for fear of leaving a bad impression in front of King Qin.  However, at the moment, the Sinhalese King prefers to be called not the Sinhalese King, but the Sinhalese Lord.  The king is of a higher level than the duke, but an indigenous king is simply an inferior creature compared to the duke of the Tang Dynasty.  Gifts, what gifts should I prepare?  "Send treasures!" The former Prime Minister of the Sinhalese Kingdom and now the Chief of the Sinhalese Duke's Palace also has a status plate of the Tang Dynasty nobles. In his eyes, treasures are the best gifts.  The Sinhalese King shook his head: "The noble King Qin of the Tang Dynasty has never seen any treasures. There are only things he doesn't want, and there are no things he can't get. Such a noble man does not have half a piece of jewelry on his body, which can only prove that the treasures are  In the eyes of the noble King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, I heard that the princess of the noble King Qin of the Tang Dynasty is missing.  For a moment.  "I told you to read more and buy more newspapers. You spend all your time counting treasures and women. How many powerful countries are lining up to try their best to send their princesses to the Qin Palace." No idea.  Sorry, there really is nothing worth giving as a gift.  That night.  The Sinhalese Grand Duke personally visited the residences of dozens of Tang Dynasty dignitaries here just to ask a question, what gift to give to King Qin of the Tang Dynasty.  This question actually stupefied the dignitaries of the Tang Dynasty.  In the end, a mature and prudent man told the Sinhalese King: "As long as it comes to your mind, His Highness King 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 would definitely like it.  Right now, Li Yuanxing really doesn¡¯t care about gifts.  What the Sinhalese King brought was a stone, an unpolished sapphire the size of a volleyball.  Such a gem.  Put it in modern times.  It directly suppressed the Heart of the Ocean. The weight alone shocked the world. The only difference was the quality, but it was still as blue and beautiful.  "Thank you for the gem. I will accept this piece. Lanshan likes sapphires!" Who is Lanshan?  The Sinhalese king did not dare to ask any more questions.  As long as King Qin of the Tang Dynasty accepted his gift.  He was very happy.  "There is something that may not be a good thing for your kingdom. I don't want to lie to you. So I invite you to come over for lunch to talk about this matter." Li Yuanxing motioned for the food to be served and asked someone to place a table  Come to the table.  Where does King Sinhalese have any thoughts about eating? It is more practical to talk to King Qin than to eat.  What was placed on the table were the coins of the Tang Dynasty. The copper coins were packed in wooden boxes, and the banknotes were placed between glass plates.  "This is the coin of the Tang Dynasty. I have seen this before!" King Sinhalese.  "No matter what the transaction on the island is, the price of rice is converted into the price of rice, and then the goods are traded. In fact, using coins means that all goods can be priced in coins, which is helpful for trade. But  " Li Yuanxing stopped here.  In fact, having coins is a very good thing for the Sinhala King.  ¡°At least trading with Datang is easier, and trading with other ports is also more convenient.  But after hearing this, King Sinhalese still listened very seriously and wanted to hear what King Qin of the Tang Dynasty had to say.  "However, it is impossible for you to make your own coins. By using the coins of the Tang Dynasty, for you, you will never be able to do without the Tang Dynasty and will slowly become a part of the Tang Dynasty. To put it more seriously, you  If you want to become hostile to the Tang Dynasty in the future, the war will not be fought just because you use the Tang Dynasty coin item." "War, hostility?  Who would go crazy and fight against the Tang Dynasty?  The Great Eater was extremely powerful, but the Tang Dynasty didn't even send out the main army. Just some armed warships of some caravans destroyed all the Great Eater's forces 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!" "Think carefully, and also listen to the opinions of the people around you. If you agree, I will arrange to build a bank here.  The bank, the bank is the place responsible for managing coins, and there will be specialized people to teach you how to use coins. ¡±  The Sinhalese King always believed that if this place became a state of the Tang Dynasty, his wealth would increase infinitely.  With so many magical things, if he could produce them here and sell them to Tianzhu, he could fill the whole house with gold coins from the Tang Dynasty, instead of carefully collecting a small box of gold coins from the Tang Dynasty like he does now.  What did you have for lunch?  The Sinhalese King must not have remembered it either, he only remembered the coins.  When he left, someone sent King Qin a return gift, a small box of gold coins from the Tang Dynasty. When he opened it, the Sinhalese King felt intoxicated. These gold coins were more than the number he had collected.  There are a hundred gold coins in total. I heard that with so many gold coins, you can exchange them for dozens of pieces of silk in Chang'an City!  The Sinhalese King left happily. He had already made up his mind to let Ceylon use Datang coins.  Li You didn¡¯t understand, or perhaps people from Li You¡¯s group and many powerful people didn¡¯t understand, so they just pushed Li You to ask questions.  Li You asked Li Yuanxing: "Uncle Five Emperors, you don't understand. Why did you say it so bluntly to him? You can understand that when the coins of the Tang Dynasty are fully used here, it is impossible for them to be enemies of the Tang Dynasty.  Coins are related to the lives of both nobles and common people. "Especially after a large amount of paper money is circulated!" Li Yuanxing added.  "You know, the Ministry of Revenue has already taught us a lesson. Paper money is called credit currency. It is guaranteed by the credibility of the Tang Dynasty and the large amount of gold inventory in the Tang Dynasty. It is a kind of currency that is originally worthless but has practical value.  Purchasing power currency. So, when paper money was used here, they didn¡¯t dare to say no to Datang!¡± Li You¡¯s explanation of paper money seemed to be missing something.  Li Yuanxing doesn¡¯t want to study what banknotes are anymore, as long as the meaning is correct.  "Actually, with the current state of the Tang Dynasty, there is no need to play conspiracies with these small states. If you tell your thoughts and your purpose directly, they will not disagree. Even if they don't agree, reducing the volume of trade will  Within a few months, ordinary people and low-level dignitaries will put pressure on the top, and they will rebel if the situation gets serious, so there is no need to play tricks and trick them into agreeing to something or promising something? " Li You still doesn't understand?  , but his mission is to ask King Qin what he thinks.  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. This monk could do a lot back then.  It was a cruel thing, so I asked specifically to see if Li Yuanxing had any other plans.  "Go find him, I just want to know where he is." "Yes!" After hearing Li Yuanxing's instructions, Pei Xi hurried out to make arrangements.  Tianzhu is not young either, but King Qin of the Tang Dynasty was looking for an ant, let alone a person, and Pei Xi could find a way to find him.  In fact, at this time Xuanzang was visiting King Haris in Northern India.  Just when Li Yuanxing ordered to find Xuanzang, Xuanzang was writing his travel diary.  He divides each day into three hours: one time to manage affairs and the other time to cultivate good fortune and good deeds. He works tirelessly, but all the days are not enough.  "He made Kanaoji his capital, but he often traveled within its territory, collecting tributes from his ministers, issuing edicts, and erecting steles and memorials to promote his achievements. This person refers to King Harisi of Northern Tianzhu. "Jie  Northern Tianzhu under the rule of the King of Japan was not a unified country with complete political power. It was just in awe of King Harsha's powerful military power, so dozens of small countries and states obeyed King Harsha's orders except sending troops to help fight the war.  In addition, it is to pay tribute and give gifts. The religious concept of King Haris is to unite with the gods, coexist with the world, and benefit the world. Of course, he has the idea of ??uniting other kingdoms, and he also has the idea of ??unifying Tianzhu.  Zang came to Tianzhu earlier than in history. He traveled to various countries in Tianzhu, constantly preached and put forward his own ideas about Buddhism. He was recognized by many kings and also received the attention of King Jie.  This monk from the Eastern Tang Dynasty could help him unify his teachings and further unify Tianzhu. But the idea was good, but in fact it was different when Li Yuanxing ordered to find Xuanzang.  The envoy was sent by land instead of water, and it had to cross Annan, which had just been conquered by Li Er, and entered the Tang Dynasty. A few days later, Pei Xi came to Li Yuanxing and said, "Your Highness, King Zheqilou sent an envoy.  Invite His Highness to the royal city of Chaqilou.  The envoy proposed that he would accept Datang as his suzerainty, open the ports, and not collect any tariffs for the next ten years.  "Pei Xi reported seriously.   Li Yuanxing chewed a cigarette and asked, "Didn't they make any request?" "No!" After Pei Xi answered, he added: "Your Highness, there is information from the Imperial Security Department, saying that it is a cover-up.  Several of the small states affiliated with Qilou were annexed by the Harbin Dynasty, and several others were in danger and would not survive the next year at best, so I thought they might want to buy some weapons.  There is not much wisdom in the hero. He did not unify Northern Tianzhu, but only relied on force to win the surrender of many people. I guess Xuanzang is with King Haris." Pei Xi nodded: "Your Highness, Your Excellency.  I dare to ask, "What are you doing after you find Xuanzang?" "I just want to have a chat with him." "Then I will send more people." Pei Xi didn't dare to ask any more, but he didn't believe in chatting.  .  In Pei Xi's eyes, if a guy like Xuanzang can work, he should work honestly.  If not, just kill him with one knife.  (To be continued)
