Chapter 735: Weak countries have no diplomacy, and strong countries have hegemony~!

phone-reading
"My lord, this matter is indeed the fault of the Japanese country, but I also ask the prince to allow the Japanese country to give ten days of grace. If Nakamuragawa cannot be handed over to you after ten days, the Ukotabe and the Japanese are willing to accept punishment~!"
In the Japanese imperial palace, after the guards left, the ancient empress leaned towards Li Xiaogong and said.
Li Xiaogong didn't even think about it, shook his head and said: "This king is in the sacred life. It is impossible to stay in the country for ten days. Tomorrow Yang Fan will return to Chang'an~!"
Empress Tuigu's expression was stagnant, as if she was caught off guard by the result. After a moment of thought, she said:
"In any case, it was the Japanese kingdom that caused Datang to suffer losses. The Ukudabe was 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 Ukudabe will send an envoy to give it away. As far as Chang'an City, let the prince have the full authority to send it down~! I don’t know what the prince wants~?"
Li Xiaogong couldn't help but his breathing was slightly stagnant, and the secret path in his heart was that the Japanese kingdom was really rich~!
What is the lack of 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 thousand taels, yes, you heard it right, it is 15 thousand taels~!
This five thousand taels of new refined silver, plus the local officials searched for private deposits to offer to the emperor, and sometimes the states and counties also converted the taxes paid into silver and shipped them to Beijing. These silvers were usually cast Rectangular silver collars are one foot long and two inches wide. There are more of fifty-two and one-collar. The collar should be engraved or written on the silver weight, fineness, origin, name, official title, year, etc. of the tribute.
Therefore, silver is not a currency in circulation in Datang.
Think about the later dynasties. Those corrupt officials were greedy for tens of thousands or even hundreds of taels. For example, Yan Song in the Ming Dynasty was greedy for thirty thousand taels of gold and more than two million taels for silver, and Heshen of the Qing Dynasty was greedy for eight hundred thousand taels of silver. 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. There is no paper money such as "Jiaozi" and "Baochao", so there has been a shortage of money in Datang in the past two years~!
Datang didn't dare to play that way at least as if he was so rich and generous and casually said and took out a thousand catties of brass.
"The brass is ten thousand catties, and the silver is one hundred thousand taels. After Nakamuragawa is caught, he must be escorted to Chang'an by a person of sufficient identity and weight in the country of Japan. In this way, nothing can happen to this king~!"
Li Xiaogong pondered for a while, then looked at Queen Tuigu and said lightly.
The lion speaks loudly~!
The bearded guy on the side couldn't help but glance at Li Xiaogong in surprise. This is what makes the lion open his mouth~!
Thousand jins of brass, if brought back to Chang'an, would 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 angry when facing Li Xiaogong's lion at the moment.
Pushing the ancient empress's eyes slightly, she gritted her teeth and said, "Master, 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, as well as those innocent crew members. All buried in the sea, no bones left~!
Before this king went to sea, the sage had said to this king. If there is an attacking enemy, we must do our best to wipe them out! The people of the Japanese Kingdom 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 Tuigu closed her eyes, and after a while, she sighed and said: "Okay~! Just follow the prince~! But the amount of brass and silver is huge, so please allow Shangguo Junwang for two days~!"
She had weighed and struggled in her mind 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!"
Pushing the ancient queen's silver teeth, she bit her, and after a while, she said: "Okay~! I will try my best~!"
Li Xiaogong didn't think he was disgusted. 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 Nakamura Kawai to Datang~!"
Empress Tuigu originally wanted to let the ministers discuss this matter again 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~EbookFREE.me~ 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~!"
Empress Tuigu brows, her face suddenly becomes bad, obviously she doesn't want Big Brother Shanbei to go to Datang.
Li Xiaogong squinted his eyes and looked at Shanbei Brother King a few times, and then said: "Before this king said that there is a person with sufficient weight, who are you~?"
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 king can give him this opportunity. ~?"
(Prince Shotoku previously divided officials into twelve levels, and the color of the crown was used as a 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, the big righteousness, and the small righteousness. , Dazhi, Xiaozhi and other twelve levels, each level uses the color to make the crown and hat, 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 squatters while on the ship, he knew that this man had a great reputation among the Japanese people, basically equivalent to Li Er's reputation in Datang Up.
So, he nodded and said, "Haha~! Good~! It's you~! Since the matter has been discussed, the king will leave~!"
Having said that, he stood up and prepared to leave with the witty bearded man.
Empress Tuigu bid farewell to Big Brother Shanbei behind.
After leaving the palace gate, Yoko Ono stepped forward and smiled flatteringly: "Lord, please here~! Your Majesty has prepared a carriage for you~! It's late at night, and both of you must be tired, so you can just rest in the carriage for a while~ !"
Li Xiaogong thought for a while, then nodded, "Um~! Step forward and lead the way~!"
"Yes, yes~!"
