"Li Ke!" Li Shimin stood up directly with an "angry" look on his face.
"Father, aren't you here to help my father supplement what you just said? Ten thousand kilograms of Mingguang Armor is already a lot. The Harsha Dynasty in Tianzhu doesn't even have many armored soldiers." Li Ke said.
Li Shimin immediately "hesitated". Seeing Li Shimin's expression, Lu Dongzan immediately knew that he had to speak up about this matter. Sure enough, Zanpu was right not to allow him to see King Qin. This King of Qin was not like His Majesty the Tang Dynasty. Dadu, he is a fussy person. Although he is known as the God of Wealth in the Tang Dynasty, they are not from the Tang Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, since Your Highness has any objections, then I, Tubo, do not want these armors, so as to avoid conflicts between Your Majesty and Your Highness. This is my Tubo's biggest sin, but I do have a merciless request." Ludong Zan hurriedly spoke.
"Say it." Li Shimin said immediately.
"Your Majesty, I, Tubo, admire the Tang Dynasty very much. As a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, I should be consistent with the Tang Dynasty. However, I, Tubo, have not had much culture since ancient times. So Zamp now wants to promote the Tang Dynasty script in Tubo. He said that the Tang Dynasty Tang dialect, but there must be some books in this area, but we in Tubo do not have many books in this area, especially about culture, so I would like to ask if your Majesty can you give me the traditional books of the Tang Dynasty in Tubo One portion." Lu Dongzan quickly changed the topic.
"Oh? You Tubo actually want to speak my Tang Dynasty dialect and write my Tang Dynasty characters?" Li Shimin's face immediately became happy.
"Your Majesty, yes, we Zanpu admire the Tang Dynasty and your Majesty very much. Not only in terms of writing, we also want to imitate the Tang Dynasty and reform the system. We also want to change the system of Tubo into the system of three provinces and six ministries." Ludong Zan said.
None of this information can be hidden from anyone, so it is better to express it in another way and then exchange it with Datang for something they need.
"Not bad, not bad! Hahaha, Songtsen Gampo still has some discernment. If that's the case, I'll let Hongwen Guan..." Li Shimin laughed twice and was about to speak.
Li Ke naturally stopped Li Shimin directly at this time: "Father, I think it is inappropriate. Although it is a good thing that Tubo admires our Tang Dynasty culture, books are also very important in our Tang Dynasty. If you reward them rashly, , other vassal states also followed suit. Aren't the books of our Tang Dynasty spread all over the world? You must know that not everyone in our Tang Dynasty has books to read. Erchen thinks that some of them can be rewarded to Tubo, but it is not as good as Erchen and Ludong Zan envoys. Could you please discuss what kind of books should be provided?”
"Hey, what you said makes sense. If this is the case, Lu Dongzan, then you will discuss these books with Li Ke later. In addition, I will reward you Tubo with the 10,000 sets of Mingguang Armor. "Li Shimin waved his hand.
"Father." Li Ke looked helpless.
"I promise you a thousand pieces of gold! This matter has been decided." Li Shimin walked away angrily.
Li Ke could only bow down and salute with "grievance".
Lu Dongzan almost jumped up from the ground, ten thousand sets? Really 10,000 sets? This is great! This means that Tubo will have an absolute advantage in Tianzhu.
"Envoy Lu Dongzan, if you are free, I will discuss the books with you tomorrow. I will send them away today!" Li Ke snorted and turned around and left.
His Highness the King of Qin has left, and everyone else naturally bowed and followed. For them, today's matter was just a matter of discussion and they didn't take it to heart at all. If it were before, Wei Zheng would not have been able to let go even with 10,000 sets of Mingguang Armor. Li Shimin sent it out, but now, it doesn't matter.
Let His Majesty deliver it, and they all know that Li Shimin is not the kind of person who shoots without aim.
After leaving the Tai Chi Hall, Li Ke naturally went directly to the Liang Yi Hall at the back to find Li Shimin.
When Li Ke came over, Li Shimin said: "This Lu Dongzan is quite smart. He knows that it is impossible for the Tang Dynasty to give up the current territory of Tubo."
"Of course he is smart. After all, he is one of several ministers in Tubo. There are not many educated people in Tubo." Li Ke nodded.
Speaking of which, in the vassal states around the Tang Dynasty, especially those that did not have their own written language, all their scholars knew the Tang dialect and could also write the Tang characters, because their culture was learned from the culture of the Tang Dynasty.
Their own culture has no written language at all. If they want to learn, they can only learn the culture of the Tang Dynasty.
This is also the reason why in later generations, during the Ming Dynasty, foreign missionaries found ways to notate Chinese characters and it was widely spread abroad, but it was not widely spread in the Ming Dynasty.
Because there is no need! Outsiders are learning my Chinese language, so how could it be our turn to learn their language?
"Why did you give them ten thousand sets of Mingguang Armor? Although this Mingguang Armor has no meaning to us anymore." Li Shimin looked at Li Ke and asked.
"They are under a lot of pressure now, and we need such a troublemaker in Tianzhu. The Harsha Dynasty is probably going to die soon, but after the Harsh Dynasty is destroyed, other countries on the Tianzhu Island will definitely die in sorrow. I guess We will soon unite together, and Gundam Nation may also participate, and we need both of them to consume strength." Li Ke said.
How should I put it? This is the magical continent of Tianzhu. If it were any other place, Li Ke would not be optimistic about Tubo. It is simple. The civilization passed down by this unique terrain will split into several countries. And it has been unified in history.
If a foreign civilization invades at this time, they will probably unite immediately.
But here in Tianzhu, it's amazing. Anyone can rule them. Therefore, there is a reason why the caste system can last for more than a thousand years.
Ten thousand sets of Mingguang armor may seem like a lot, but in fact this is also a bloodletting tactic. Tianzhu’s combat strength cannot be said to be strong, but it cannot be said to be too weak. This country still has technology, so they can also develop armor. All I can say is, This country doesn't like to use it during wars due to weather and climate problems.
Of course, giving them ten thousand sets is just to let them win. Winning will definitely consume Tubo's strength.
It will take a long time for Tubo to completely rule here.
This time is an opportunity for the Tang Dynasty. Anyway, for the Tang Dynasty, the bows and arrows in Mingguang Kai's hands and the crossbows can be dealt with, so they are not so invincible.
When the time comes, Tubo can help Datang to sweep away a wave of people from Tianzhu and let Tubo train them first. Then it will be much easier for Datang to take over.
