Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

"Your Highness, I have no problem with it. Whether it's silk or porcelain, I can eat tea." Ba Po agreed without saying a word.

Li Ke smiled, "I'm just here for a talk. Afterwards, my Datang caravan will come here to do business, but before that, I still have a few requirements."

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

"In order to make it easier for my Datang merchants and my Datang officials to do business with you, I ask you to use the currency of my Datang. For this reason, I can make a little profit and only charge you [-]% of the loss. That is to say, if you give me one hundred guan of goods, I will give you ninety guan of Tang copper coins." Li Ke said with an "impatient" face.

While speaking, he took out a box from the side, opened it and returned it to Ba Po.

Ba Po was stunned for a moment, then stretched out her hand to pull the box over, and then took out a copper coin from the box. It was a yellowed copper coin, slightly smaller than the previous Datang Kaiyuan Tongbao, but it was not The point, the point is its sophistication!

Ba Po was a little dumbfounded. Datang’s Kaiyuan Tongbao was nothing more than a square hole in the middle, with four characters around it, and the two sides were the same.

But this coin is different. There is a circular hole in the middle, and on the left and right sides of the circular hole is written: "One Wen". : Datang Tongbao.And around the coin is a complex circle of patterns.

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

Below the circular hole is the same four characters: Great Tang Empire.

Below the Tang Empire is the words: Datang A.D. 20.

As far as the fineness of this coin is concerned, Bhabhakshatriya thinks it is a work of art.

Zhenxue actually has its own copper coins, which are similar to those of Datang Kaiyuan Tongbao, but the number is very small, because the current Zhenxa has just merged with Funan Kingdom not long ago, and the currency is not enough. They really pop with wax.

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

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

[-]% of the loss is the loss of materials. If you count the labor and casting process, it will be at least close to [-]%.

So if you can't afford it, you can simply mix it with snakes and dragons. There are all kinds of currencies, and Datang's Kaiyuan Tongbao is also available here, and even the currency of the Great Sui Dynasty is quite a lot here.

All of them know the benefits of currency unification, but the problem is that they can't afford it, and now His Royal Highness King Qin actually says to help them?And only [-]% of the loss? !

"Your Highness, are you serious?!" Bhabhakshatrili almost couldn't hold back the surprise in his heart.

As for what is wrong with using the currencies of other countries, Bhabhakshatrili didn't understand at all, or he had already taken it for granted. No matter whether it was the former Sui and other currencies, they had always circulated here. Secondly, in the hearts of these kings , Currency itself has value, because it is made of copper, it is value in itself, and there is no problem of who uses it and who does not.

For them, it is the happiest thing for them to have someone help them make it.

"Nonsense, if it wasn't for trade, how could I give you this discount and only charge you [-]% of the loss?" Li Ke waved his hand impatiently and said, "This is the premise of our business. The currency of our Tang Dynasty is circulated in the country, which is beneficial for our merchants to do business with you."

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

"I have no problem." Bhabhakshatrili agreed decisively, "I will ask my father for instructions after I go back, and I will reply to His Highness."

"This is not a request for instructions." 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 the Guluo City (Hou Nha Trang ), the main currency transactions at that time will come from here.”

"You can transport all the coins you really have to this place, and then exchange the relevant currency with Datang. I allow you to use weighing to settle the settlement."

"Yes! Thank you, Your Highness." Bhabhakshatriya bowed again and saluted.

"I'm warning you." Li Ke pointed at him, and then continued to say coldly: "I'm not interested in your other things, but I can tell you that I am very interested in making money, you should know more or less My reputation in Datang, you can stop me from doing anything, but if you stop me from making money, then don't blame me for being rude."

"This is me. If my father was here today, the compensation of 1000 million shi would not solve the problem at all."

"Yes!" Bhabha Kshatriya agreed with a look of "panic".

But he was very excited in his heart, he likes to make money, well, His Royal Highness King Qin is making money, so why isn't he making money?As long as both parties can make money, this condition of His Highness King Qin is not a condition at all.

Actually Datang is willing to help them mint coins with real wax?Is there such a good thing in the world?

If His Royal Highness King Qin didn't like money, how could he give such benefits?Baba thought for a while, and he felt that he should talk to his father after he went back, or else he would give His Highness more wear and tear?Like [-]%?Even if it is [-]%, if Datang has enough currency, it will be of great benefit to them. Presumably none of the ministers will object.

The negotiation with Ba Po went very smoothly, and this time the negotiation is not just a lip service, but also related contracts, including the requirement that Zhenxue must allow its own domestic currency of the Tang Dynasty to be written into it. included in the compensation contract.

After the two sides negotiated some details, Datang Zhenwa's "Xianglin Treaty" was officially signed.

"Treaty Provisions": 1000. Zhenwa compensates Datang with [-] million shi of grain or equivalent gold within two years. If the compensation is gold, it will be calculated at the price of Datang's grain.

[-]. Zhenwa has the obligation to encourage the people of the country to grow more food and trade with Datang. In order to facilitate the trade between the two parties, Zhenwa will abolish all domestic currencies within one year and replace it with the new currency of Datang. The casting of currency Datang is in charge, and the loss is tentatively set at [-]%.

[-]. If Zhenwa wants to exchange more ores such as copper ore for minted currency, the relevant price needs to be re-drawn.

[-]. Datang can hand over the Datang goods trade rights of all countries west of the Gundam to Zhenxue. The Zhenxue royal family is not allowed to trade the Datang currency circulating in Zhenxa to other countries without the permission of Datang.

[-]. In the Nanyang region, if any country is disrespectful to Datang, Zhenxue is obliged to send troops to follow Datang when Datang starts fighting against it.
