Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Obviously it was me who suffered the disadvantage, but in the end it was actually me who was restricted.Songtsan Gampo was really angry, but he didn't know who to vent his anger on. At present, everything that Tubo needs is provided by Datang.

So no matter how problematic the attitude of the other party is, he, Songtsan Gampo, can only bear with it, because they want Datang, but Datang is dispensable to them. Datang is even more good news.

"But don't worry, Your Majesty, if we confirm that there is no problem after receiving the order, we will transport all the materials with you for trade as soon as possible, and even the goods that have been piled up due to the interruption of trade before will not have any problems. It will be delivered directly at one time." Xu Zheng gave Songtsan Gampo a guarantee.

"Then I would like to thank the general. What did the general want to say just now?" Songtsan Gampo looked at Xu Zheng and asked.

"It's like this. Master Xuanzang of our country is studying in the Nalanda Temple in Tianzhu. He is currently considering translating some scriptures in Tianzhu. There are many documents from other countries in the Nalanda Temple. Master Xuanzang thinks We need to translate all these scriptures and bring them back to the Tang Dynasty. At that time, we still need some people to come in and transport them, so I hope His Majesty can help." Xu Zheng said.

Regarding Xu Zheng's words, Songtsan Gampo was silent for a while. Some things are like this. No matter what you think or how you deal with this matter, in the end the matter will not depend on your will .

"Yes, but we also hope that you can help us deal with our problem as soon as possible."

"can."

Even if the two sides reached an agreement in this way.

"In addition to the question about these books, I personally suggest that if you are interested in this, Your Majesty, I think you can ask someone to collect a copy. When you help, we can't let you help for nothing. We will give you What do you think about providing a copy of these relevant documents after translation?" Xu Zheng looked at Songtsan Gampo and asked.

Songtsan Gampo shook his head: "We are not interested in these things. I know what you mean, General. This is not what we, a small country, need to pursue. To put it bluntly, we in Tibet don't even have our own writing. Now we want to These questions are a bit too early, I can give you things, but we also need related things.”

"If this is the case, I don't think it's a big problem. I will report to our general after I go back, and then I think I can provide you with some things, such as books. I guess it will be difficult, maybe it will not be difficult in the future, but That is not something we can make a decision on, it needs His Royal Highness and His Majesty to make a decision. But I think we can give you some basic things, such as the pinyin literacy method that my Tang Dynasty just quit recently." Xu Zheng thought for a while before opening his mouth road.

"Oh?" Songtsan Gampo became interested instantly.

"How do you say this?"

"I can provide you with a related book, Your Highness. This is a book responsible for elementary education that was widely popularized in my Tang Dynasty. It can help children recognize and learn Chinese characters more quickly." Xu Zheng introduced to Songtsan Gampo for a moment.

"I'm very interested in this." Songtsan Gampo said immediately.

He knows that the value of books is very expensive, but literacy is also very important. If children cannot read, they will not be able to read. If there is a quick way to learn, it is still possible if the literacy speed is fast enough.

"Then I'll give you a copy, Your Majesty." Xu Zheng agreed directly.

Well, sometimes when you take the initiative to provide it to others, others don’t want your text, but if you don’t want to give it to him, then others will beg for your text instead.

Xu Zheng left without leaving anything extra, as if the other party really came here just to send Xuanzang a certificate of customs clearance.

However, he left Songtsan Gampo alone with a book on how to read and write by phonetic alphabet. So I found a few ministers who could be found so far, whether it was Lun Kerr or Shang Xiang, they were all called by Songtsan Gambo.

Songtsan Gampo gave them a look at this book in turn. After the two of them read it, Shang Xiang pondered for a while and said, "Your Majesty, this book is very useful. It is indeed a book researched by the Tang Dynasty. There is an unprecedented advantage in elementary school, which is what I told Your Majesty before, regarding the issue of factor characters being easier to learn, it is assisted by these letters, and the difficulty of learning Chinese characters is also reduced."

"After reducing the difficulty, the power of Chinese characters is immediately reflected. It is indeed very useful for us to get this. In fact, we have a part of books in Chinese characters, and this part of books is enough for us. Cultivate a certain number of talents, but elementary school can strengthen the cultivation of new talents in Tibet in the future."

"However, in terms of printing, I think we still have difficulties, but the problem should not be too big. Datang does not have very strict management on printing. We can ask Datang to help print. Anyway, after the books are given to us, Let's sort out a few backups first, and Datang also knows that once we have them in our hands, there will be no restrictions."

"Well, what Shang Xiang said is very reasonable. In addition, the general of Datang also told me one thing." Songtsan Gampo thought for a while and related all the things about Datang asking them to help collect and transport related books. they said.

"These things are actually of little use to us." Shang Xiang thought for a while and said, "In fact, the things recorded in the traditional books here in Tianzhu are far from the Tang Dynasty. These things are very important to us. As far as Tubo is concerned, there is not much demand, and Datang needs it because Datang has a large number of personnel to study these, but we do not."

"We might as well exchange these books with Datang for something we need. In addition, we can send some people who know Sanskrit to study these books. If they are useless, we can give them to Datang."

"Yes." Songtsan Gampo thought for a while, this is indeed a solution, they are not enough manpower now, the important thing is not to offend Datang, then give them what they want according to Datang's wishes. not difficult.

"In fact, this is good for us. After all, we Tubo are still outsiders in Tianzhu now. If we want to popularize the system of Tang Dynasty in Tubo, it will definitely conflict with the original Tianzhu culture. , all the books are sent away, at most the next generation, these Tianzhu people will accept us." Shang Xiang made another note.
