The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

"Zhong Shaobao, you said that as long as the Holy Majesty agrees to offer the marriage, I will accept it." Jingsheng Yelang was also very impatient, he didn't even think about it, and nodded repeatedly.

"Simple, since your Fusang king wants to marry my Tang princess, it is for my Tang princess's personal safety. My Tang kingdom needs to send about 2 people to Fusang, and your Fusang kingdom needs to set aside a place to support my Tang kingdom. Followers." What Zhong Wen said was obvious, that he wanted to send soldiers to the island.

"No, it's absolutely not." After Jingsheng Yelang heard it, there was no way he didn't know what Zhong Wen meant.

If it is true that 2 people have arrived in his Fusang country, they must be soldiers from the Tang country.

There are soldiers from other countries in the territory of other countries, which is absolutely impossible for Fusang country.

Before he went on a mission to the Tang Kingdom, Suga Ezo told him clearly that no matter what, they must stop Amano Sakurako and the others from coming to the Tang Kingdom.

Of course, in addition to stopping Amano Sakurako and the others' request, it would be the best if she could marry a Tang princess back.

As for whether they can get married or not, they really don't care that much. After all, their purpose is just to test Tang's attitude towards Fusang.

Now, Jingsheng Yelang knew from it that the Tang State was staring at the Fusang State, and it was only because of the barrier of the sea that they could not feel the threat of the Tang State.

"No, then there is no other way. Well, what are you supposed to do? In two days, Sakurako Amano just said that she wants to see the Holy One. My Highness, I think this is feasible." Zhong Wen saw that Jingsheng Yelang refused so quickly, after smiling, he said directly to the Holy Spirit Li Shimin.

"Well, yes, Amano Yingko actually came to play the book, and I will be free three days later, so I can meet her." Li Shimin understood Zhong Wen's meaning and said hastily.

"Your Majesty, my ministers request you not to see Ye Yingzi that day. She is from Fusang, and she is also a false king. If you act like this, aren't you afraid that the nations and people in the world will laugh at you?" After hearing this, Jing Sheng Yelang immediately Anxious.

"Jingsheng Yelang, why do you come to the Tang Kingdom? I don't need to say more. Besides, who the Holy Majesty wants to see has nothing to do with your Fusang Kingdom. You said that Ye Yingzi was the false king of your Fusang Kingdom. Then I When the emperor of the Tang Kingdom sees someone else, do you think he still needs to ask your Fusang Kingdom?" Zhong Wen said with a smile on his face.

Chapter 586

Zhong Wen's words can be said to be unreasonable.

However, Jingsheng Yelang became wary of Zhong.

He really didn't expect that the person Li Shimin chose would be so difficult to deal with.

First, it was about the etiquette system, and then it was pointed out that he, the Fusang country, was coming as an emissary.

In fact, at this time in the Fusang Kingdom, the two factions were fighting fiercely. After all, the seat that Emperor Shu Ming sat was obtained by the Su Wo family for him.

His original intention of coming to the Tang State was to prevent Amano Sakurako and the others from plotting, and secondly, to test out the tone of the Tang State.

Although there are many people in Fusang country studying and working in Tang country, the accuracy of these news cannot be guaranteed.

Moreover, half a year ago, the Fusang people in the entire Chang'an city, as well as some other vassals, were sorted out. For this reason, he even made a fuss in front of Li Shimin.

It's a pity that at that time Tang Guozheng was almost at war with the Tubo Kingdom, so there was no time to deal with these matters, and it was just a matter of carelessness.

"It turns out that there is such a young and intelligent prince Shaobao in the Tang Dynasty. Jing Sheng Yelang has learned from him." Jing Sheng Yelang knew that he could not continue, so he had to bow to Zhong Wen and Li Shimin and retreat.

At this time, Zhong Wen also bowed his hands to Li Shimin, and flashed back to his position.

"Xiaowen, what you said just now is really kind. The Fusang people just can't be used to them. How can my princess from the Tang Dynasty marry so far away? If it were me, I wouldn't marry either." Zhong Mugen saw His son's performance in the holy place was very good, and when he saw his son came back, he praised it fiercely.

However, his voice was a little louder, so that in the originally quiet hall, everyone could hear what Zhong Mugen said.

"Hahahaha, let me just say that, even Zhong Shaobao's father said so. Naturally, my Tang country will not marry any children out, and get married. That is peace bought with a woman, and the soldiers of my Tang country will never agree." At this time, Li Xiaogong stood up and shouted loudly.

"Yes, we will never agree to the peace bought by women!"

"Never agree!!!"

"Never agree!!!"

Following Li Xiaogong's words, all the generals stood up and shouted loudly.

But at this time, the civil servants on one side were very ashamed.

A person who has never read a book knows the truth of this, but these people who have read a book still insist on making love.

Even if there is no war, making peace with relatives is considered the best policy in their hearts.

Just like the Tubo Kingdom.

At this moment, the envoy of the Tubo kingdom lowered his head so much that he didn't dare to raise his head.

The voices of the generals continuously drove the people in the square outside, and more and more people joined in.

"Long live, long live the Holy Spirit, long live the Tang Kingdom!"

"..."

The banquet was soon over.

It wasn't because the food was not rich enough, nor was it because of insufficient preparation, but because of Zhong Mugen's words, the banquet came to an end.

The civil servants blushed a little with embarrassment, so they had to give various reasons such as being unwell.

On the contrary, those generals were very happy.

"Zhong Shaobao, my honor." Just as Zhong Wen was about to leave with his father, a servant approached Zhong Wen and said cautiously.

"Father, you wait for me here first, and I will look for you after I see the Holy Majesty." Although Zhong Wen didn't understand what Li Shimin told him, he thought there must be something wrong.

Immediately, after confessing a few words to his father, he followed the servant to a certain place.

"Jiu Shou, what do you mean by what you said just now? Why did you send 2 people to Fusang? Do you intend to go to Fusang?" Li Shimin asked Zhong Wen without talking nonsense when he arrived. Zhong Wen just had a conversation with Nai Shengyelang.

In fact, he knew very well that Zhong Wen's temper was relatively straightforward.

Whether it is doing or talking, it is straightforward.

Therefore, Li Shimin didn't waste much time with Zhong Wen.

"Your Majesty, do you know that the copper coins we use today are too heavy? It is inconvenient to carry, and the gold pancakes are not available to ordinary people. As for the silverware, it is even rarer." Zhong Wen beat Li Shimin's words. Asked, and began to talk to Li Shimin.

Zhong Wenneng told Nai Shengyelang in the hall that 2 people were sent to protect the Tang princess, which must have a deep meaning.

And this deep meaning, of course, is money.

What is made in Fuso?

Apart from producing silver, other Zhong Wens don't like it either.

"What does the matter of copper coins have to do with 2 people? Do you want to take action against Fusang?" Li Shimin was still a little puzzled.

If you really want to use force, it's really inappropriate at the moment.

After all, Tang's closest direction is the countries of the Western Regions.

The road to the Western Regions was always cut off by the countries of the Western Regions, which made Li Shimin want to take action against the countries of the Western Regions.

Otherwise, Li Shimin would not pass on the secret decree to Zhong Wen, asking him to check the situation in the Western Regions after he entered the Western Regions.

"My lord, do you know what is made in Fusang? Silver." Zhong Wen stopped talking around and said it directly.

"What? Is the Fusang country really producing silver? Can you take it seriously?" Li Shimin still didn't believe it when he heard it.

As far as he knows, Fusang Country doesn't seem to have much silver at present, but why does Zhong Wen say that Fusang makes domestic silver?

"Your Majesty, what I said must be credible. At present, Fusang Kingdom probably doesn't know the silver producing areas in those places, but there are still some open-air silver, but no one has found it. Even if someone picks up some The money in the open air is probably not made public." Zhong Wen said.

As for where he got the news from, Li Shimin naturally wouldn't bother asking.

In Zhong Wen's current state, the people he can contact are no longer accessible to ordinary people. Moreover, Li Shimin will not be stupid enough to ask Zhong Wen where he got the news from.

"Jiu Shou, do you know how much silver can be produced in the silver-producing area of ​​Fusang Kingdom?" After hearing this, Li Shimin was also calculating in his mind to see if it was worth using force.

"Say it's less than 2000 million catties." Zhong Wen estimated a rough value.

Zhong Wen didn't know how much evidence there was.

After all, Zhong Wen only knew what was called the world's largest silver mine in his previous life. As for how much it could produce, that was not what Zhong Wen remembered.

In fact, Huaxia is also a relatively medium silver-producing area.

But in terms of the ease of mining and the depth of mining, it is naturally not as convenient as the silver area in Fusang Kingdom.

Of course, there is America, which is the world of gold and silver.

It's just that Zhong Wen hasn't planned to leave Tang country to go there at present, as long as he is free, he will definitely go to check it out.

At least, the food that Zhong Wen has never forgotten is growing there.

"2000 million catties!!!" When Li Shimin heard such a value mentioned by Zhong Wen, he was also shocked and fell silent.

Li Shimin knew exactly what this value represented.

This is not two catties, but 2000 million catties.

"My lord, this is only the reserve of a silver-producing area that I know of. If I can find out others, the output is estimated to be many times higher than this value." When Li Shimin was shocked, Zhong Wen said again Say something.

Then, Li Shimin was shocked again.

Everyone knows that where silver is produced, there will be gold.

As for how much, it depends on the content of the silver ore.

After a long time, Li Shimin finally regained his composure, looked at Zhong Wen and asked, "Who else knows about this?"

As soon as Zhong Wen heard Li Shimin's words, he knew that he was moved.

Isn't it a waste that so much silver is left there not to be mined.

"At present, only a few people know, but don't worry, my lord, they are not interested in this matter. After all, they don't care about these external things at all." Zhong Wen made up a lie.

"Then can you draw the picture? And is mining difficult?" At this time, Li Shimin remembered the difficulty of mining.

"It shouldn't be too big. It is said that this silver district belongs to open-pit mines, so it should be easy to mine. When I get back to the mansion and I have time, I will draw the map and give it to you." Zhong Wen saw the sky. It's not too late, my father is still waiting there, thinking about going back to find my father.

But Li Shimin acted as if he still didn't intend to let Zhong Wen go, and asked another round of questions.

And Zhong Wen also told Li Shimin the general situation he knew.

In fact, Zhong Wen didn't know how the silver mine was.

As for whether anyone in the current Fusang Kingdom knows, Zhong Wen cannot guarantee.

But presumably some people will take possession of it.

What Zhong Wen meant was that he hoped that Li Shimin would send someone he could trust to go to Fusang and buy it there, so that it would be convenient for Tang Guo to send people there.

If there is a war, there should be a buffer.

Tang is short of money.

Very short.

Every year, wars consume a lot of copper coins.

Not to mention food.

Although the current Tang State is poor, at least there is no war, and it can be regarded as a peaceful event.

But when Li Shimin heard Zhong Wen mentioning the money from Fusang Kingdom, his heart felt restless.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, my father is still waiting for me, and my mother is probably waiting for me too." Zhong Wen couldn't help it anymore.

Being dragged by Li Shimin to talk, he has been talking for half an hour, and it's not over.

"Look at me, I forgot the time, Jiushou, you must not be cautious about this matter." After hearing Zhong Wen's words, Li Shimin realized it.

However, when Zhong Wen left, he still did not forget to confess.

Zhong Wen nodded, and then went back to find his father.

Fortunately, there are still people in the hall, such as Yuchi Jingde, and Li Xiaogong, who are also there, as if they are accompanying Zhong Mugen.

Zhong Wen thanked them directly, and took his father to the outside of the palace city.

It wasn't until Chengtianmen that they reunited with my mother and the others.

Talking and laughing all the way, the family went to Yongping Square accompanied by bright lights.

There is no curfew on New Year's Eve.

And starting from this day of the year, there will be no curfew for half a month.

This is also a lively opportunity for the people of Chang'an City, and it also makes the Tang people happy for half a month after a busy year.

Although others were happy, Li Shimin was not happy at this time.

At this moment, he was frowning, thinking about what Zhong Wen said to him just now.

silver.

And it is the easiest silver to mine.

Li Shimin really wanted to occupy the silver-producing area of ​​the Fusang country, but the Fusang country was nearly a thousand miles away from the Tang country by the sea, even if it was occupied, the follow-up matter would be the highlight.
