Mobile reading
"My lord, this matter is indeed the fault of the Japanese kingdom, but I also ask the prince to allow the Japanese government to give up ten days. If Nakamuragawa cannot be handed over to you after ten days, the Ukudabe and the Japanese are willing to accept punishment~!"
The Japanese imperial palace, after the guards left, the ancient empress leaned toward Li Xiaogong and said.
Li Xiaogong didn't even think about it, shook his head and said: "This king is sacred, and it is impossible to stay in the country for ten days. Tomorrow Yang Fan will return to Chang'an~!"
The Empress Tuigu's expression was stagnant, as if she was caught off guard by the result. After a moment of contemplation, she said:
"In any case, it was the Japanese Kingdom that caused Datang to suffer losses, and the Nukadabe willing to take out a thousand catties of brass and one hundred thousand taels of silver to compensate~! After the remnants of Nakamuragawa Yuichi are caught, the Nukadabe will dispatch The messenger, send it to Chang'an city, and let the prince have full authority to send it out~! I don’t know what the prince wants~?"
Li Xiaogong couldn't help but breathe slightly, and the secret path in her heart is that the Japanese kingdom is really rich~!
What do you want to say about Datang now~? Of course the most lacking is silver and brass~!
The territory of the Tang Dynasty is very vast, but the detection and mining techniques of gold and silver mines are not very sophisticated, so the country’s annual silver output is only about 15,000 taels. Yes, you heard it right, it’s 15,000. Two~!
These five thousand taels of new refined silver, together with local officials scouring private deposits and offering them to the emperor, and sometimes various states and counties also converted the taxes paid into silver and shipped them into Beijing. Usually a rectangular silver collar is cast, one foot long and two inches wide. There are more than fifty two one collar. The collar should be engraved or written on the silver weight, fineness, origin, name, official position, year, etc. of the tribute.
So silver is not a currency in circulation in Datang.
Think about the later dynasties. Those corrupt officials greeted tens of thousands or even hundreds of taels. For example, Yan Song in the Ming Dynasty was greedy for gold and more than 2 million taels of silver. He Shen in the Qing Dynasty was greedy for silver. Eight hundred million taels, more than the ten-year income of the imperial court, compared with these big corrupt officials, the silver reserves of the Tang Dynasty were really weak~!
There is also brass. In the past few years, Datang has been recuperating and rejuvenating. The domestic development is prosperous. The people's life is better, and the demand for copper from the people is naturally greater. However, there are so many copper mines that the court has proven. At this time, there are no paper money such as "Jiaozi" and "Baochao", so there has been a shortage of money in Datang in the past two years~!
Like Waguo, he took out a thousand catties of brass just as he said it casually. At the very least, Datang didn't dare to play that way.
"One million catties of brass and one hundred thousand taels of silver. After catching Nakamura Kawai, he must be escorted to Chang'an by a person of sufficient identity and weight in the country of Japan. In this way, the king can assume that nothing has happened. ~!"
Li Xiaogong pondered for a while, then looked at Queen Tuigu and said lightly.
The lion has a big mouth~!
The bearded guy on the side couldn't help but glance at Li Xiaogong in amazement. This is what makes the lion open his mouth~!
Ten thousand catties of brass, if brought back to Chang'an, it will definitely be enough to solve the current money shortage of the court!
The Shanbei brother Wang pursed his mouth and squeezed his hand forcefully. Even though he belongs to the conservatives of the Japanese country, he still couldn't help being a little annoyed when facing Li Xiaogong's lion at this moment.
Tweeting the ancient queen, her eyes were slightly restrained, and then she gritted her teeth and said: "My lord, this ten thousand catties of brass is really..."
"No need to say more~!"
Li Xiaogong waved his hand and interrupted directly: "There is no room for discussion on this matter~! As the Queen knows, the twenty soldiers who died in the battle were all the bravest soldiers of the Tang Dynasty and those innocent crew members. , Now they are all buried in the sea, no bones left~!
Before the king went to sea, the sage said to this king. If there is an incoming enemy, they must be wiped out with all their strength! The people of the Japanese country killed me and Baixin. According to law, this king should send troops directly to attack, but because of the queen's heart for Datang, this king is very open. You should not bargain again. ~! "
Li Xiaogong's arrogance is fully demonstrated at this moment~!
Weak countries have no diplomacy, and strong countries have hegemony. This sentence is also vividly expressed at this moment~!
The Queen of Pushgu closed her eyes. After a long while, she sighed and said: "Okay~! Just follow the prince~! But the amount of brass and silver is huge, and the king of Shangguo will be allowed two days of grace~!"
She weighed and struggled in her heart for a long time before she agreed to the condition of "being powerless and humiliating the country".
Li Xiaogong said lightly: "Two days are too long. You must prepare ten thousand catties of brass and one hundred thousand taels of silver by noon tomorrow!"
Push the ancient queen's silver teeth and bit her, and after a while, she said: "Okay~! I will try my best~!"
Li Xiaogong didn't think it was disgusting. He looked around and said, "Then I don't know who the queen intends to send to **** Nakamurakawa~?"
Queen Tuigu thought for a while, and said: "This matter is of great importance, and the Nukatabe wants to stay in the court of tomorrow..."
"Your Majesty~! The minister is willing to **** Nakamuragawa to Datang~!"
The Queen of Tuigu originally wanted to let the ministers discuss this matter tomorrow morning, but before she had said anything, Brother Shanbei stepped forward and said:
"The minister admired the culture of the Tang Dynasty for a long time~IndoMTL.com~ I went to the Tang Dynasty to gain some insights. When I come back, I can work for the country of Japan and share my worries for your majesty~!"
The Queen of Pushgu frowned, her face suddenly becoming unwell, obviously she didn't want Brother Shanbei to go to Datang.
Li Xiaogong squinted his eyes and looked at the big brother of Shanbei a few times, and then said: "Before this king said that there is a heavy person, who are you~?"
Big Brother Shanbei did not express anger because of Li Xiaogong’s contempt. He replied: "Brother Shanbei, the current imperial purple crown dade, is his father. I wonder if the prince can give it to him. This opportunity~?"
(Previously, Prince Shotoku divided officials into twelve levels, and the color of the crown was used as the distinguishing system. That is, the big virtue, the small virtue, the big benevolent, the small benevolent, the big gift, the small gift, the big letter, the little letter, and the big righteousness. , Xiaoyi, Dazhi, Xiaozhi and other twelve levels, each level uses the color to make the cap, the purple crown is the first product)
"Prince Shotoku~?"
Li Xiaogong whispered in his heart, Prince Shotoku’s deeds, he had heard a lot of squeaky talkers when he was on the ship, he knew that this man had a great reputation among the Japanese people, basically equivalent to Li Er in the University Don's reputation is gone.
So, he nodded and said: "Haha~! Good~! It's you~! Now that the matter has been discussed, the king will leave~!"
After that, he stood up and prepared to leave with the shackles.
The Queen of Tuigu bid farewell to Big Brother Shanbei behind.
Out of the palace gate, Yoko Ono stepped forward and smiled flatteringly: "My lord, please come here~! Your Majesty has prepared a carriage for you~! It's late at night, and both of you must be tired, so you can be in the carriage. Take a rest~!"
Li Xiaogong thought for a while, then nodded: "Um~! Step forward and lead the way~!"
"Yes, yes~!"
