Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 296 Great Book, Nine Surnames Uighur Khan Monument
After the Battle of the Mobei Grassland, King Jianning set up two institutions for the grassland.

One is the Ge Luolu Affairs Department in Luntai County, which is in charge of Cui Tao's mentor, Fang Guoshou, an expert on Sui and Tang history.

Another institution was set up in Baowenshan Zhuoshoufu in Guazhou, which is in charge of the Uighur Affairs Department of Uyghur trade and diplomacy. The head of this institution is Shang Bo, the chairman of the Public Examination House.

The first job of the Uyghur Affairs Department is to preside over the mutual trade with the Uyghur.

After the former Uighur Gele Khan passed away, the new Mou Yu Khan treated Longyou very submissively.

However, Shang Bo didn't underestimate Mou Yu Khan because of his obedience, instead he thought he was a generation of heroes.

After his father died indirectly at the hands of Longyou, Mou Yu Khan was still able to maintain a policy of goodwill towards Datang.

It is enough to see that this is a character like Goujian, the king of Yue, but it is a pity that King Jianning is not Fuchai, the king of Wu.

After signing a secret trade agreement with the Uighurs, Shangbo immediately began to infiltrate the grasslands, establishing trading posts in key areas.

Datang was so interested in establishing a trading station, which Mou Yu Khan and the Uighur nobles did not expect.

Originally, they traded with each other and needed to send the goods to the border.

Now the merchants of the Tang Dynasty went directly to the grassland and stationed in the trading post. The nearby tribes only needed to sell their goods to the trading post, but it was the Uighurs who were convenient.

This is also something that Mou Yu Khan couldn't understand. Why did the people of Tang take so much effort to establish a trading post?
According to the agreement between Datang and Uighur, the status of the trading post is equivalent to that of the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, and each trading post is allowed to employ no more than a hundred armed personnel.

However, a mere hundred people can only protect the safety of the trading post. Mou Yu Khan readily agreed to Shangbo's request.

Trading stations were established one after another, the largest of which was right next to the Uyghur Khan Stele of Nine Surnames, the head of the three Uyghur stele forests.

Shangbo now left Zhuoshou Mansion in Baowen Mountain to inspect the construction work of various trading stations. The first stop was the trading station with the Khan Monument of the Nine Surnames.

Accompanying Shangbo was Zhang Leyan, the head of the Khan Monument Trade Station. He came out of the Khan Monument Trade Station to meet the Shang Expo team.

Standing on the mound, Shang Bo looked at the forest of steles standing in front of him, and was amazed when he saw such a scene for the first time.

Zhang Leyan has been living in the Khan Monument Trading Station for a while, and he followed Shangbo on horseback and said:
"President of the Chamber of Commerce, in front of you is the Forest of Uighur Steles. These steles record the history and laws of the Uighurs. Look at the tallest stele in the center."

Shang Bo took off the binoculars at his waist, only to see a stele nearly four meters high standing out from the crowd in the center of the forest of steles.

"Is this the Nine Surnames Uighur Khan Stele?" Shang Bo had also heard the name of this stele, but he never expected to see the complete stele in the game.

Zhang Leyan nodded and said, "That's right, the Uyghur Khan Stele with Nine Surnames is a stele inscribed in three languages: Chinese, Lite and Turkic. It tells the history of the Uyghur state."

Then Zhang Leyan said with a smile: "I visited the Khan Monument and unlocked an achievement."

"Achievement?"

Zhang Leyan said: "The achievement of [discovering great works], discovering this kind of literary work that is crucial in human history, can unlock this achievement."

Shang Bo also only knew the name of this stele.

Players who followed Shangbo also followed, and seeing that some players had turned on the game recording function, Zhang Leyan simply became a tour guide.

Zhang Leyan continued: "The Uyghur script had not been invented at this time, and the official Uyghur script is still Turkic today."

"This stele is very meaningful. At the time when the stele was excavated, Litwen had become a dead language, that is, a language that no one could read and write. With this stele, many words and sentences in Litwen were unraveled. , helping archaeologists decipher many Lit texts."

"The Turkic language in the Tang Dynasty also changed a lot from the later generations. Comparing the Chinese characters on the stone tablet, we can also get a glimpse of the process of the transformation and spread of the Turkic language. The value of this stone tablet to linguistics is no less than that of the Rosetta Stone!"

A player in the Shangbo team said: "I know the Rosetta Stone! This is a stele written in Egyptian hieroglyphs, secular script and Greek. It is also this stele that has deciphered the secret of Egyptian writing!"

The players started to discuss: "Is this Rosetta Stone in Egypt?"

"When can we hit Egypt!"

"Hit to the Nile! Snatched back by the Rosetta Stone!"

Shang Bo ignored the comments of his players, but signaled Zhang Leyan to continue.

Zhang Leyan nodded and said, "That's why some people call the Nine Uyghur Khan Stele the Chinese Rosetta Stone, but I don't think so."

Zhang Leyan said: "Although the Rosetta Stone is indeed older than the Nine Surnames Uyghur Khan Stele, the Nine Surnames Uyghur Khan Stele has witnessed the strong vitality of the Chinese language."

"Everyone can go and have a look at this stele. The Chinese characters used on this stele during the Tang Dynasty, we only need to know some classical Chinese to understand it easily after a thousand years."

"The Lite language on the stele has long been lost, and the Turkic language has changed beyond recognition. Only Chinese characters are forever engraved on the stele, which can still tell the history of the stele to us thousands of years later."

The players were overwhelmed with emotion. Although this stele was not carved by the Tang Dynasty, it has witnessed the prosperity of Chinese civilization!

Players expressed that they would like to visit the forest of steles in the "game".

Zhang Leyan comforted the crowd and said, "The Forest of Steles is a sacred place for the Uyghurs. I will communicate with Ye Hu, who is guarding here, and try to show everyone around."

"I have recorded a video of the Nine Surnames Uighur Khan Monument, and you can also watch it in my video account."

Zhang Leyan took the opportunity to promote his own self-media account, and then got to the point: "Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, the Khan Monument Trading Station has been completed, but there have been some trade frictions with the Uyghurs recently, just waiting for the president to coordinate."

"Trade friction? Are the Uighurs making it difficult for you to do business?"

Zhang Leyan sighed and said, "It's still because our business is very good. The Pugu Yehu who is stationed at the Khan Monument issued an order to prohibit ordinary herdsmen from directly trading with our trading station. Recently, the transaction volume has dropped sharply."

Now Shang Bo immediately understood what was going on. Although Zhang Leyan was his subordinate, he was the head of the Khan Monument Trading Station.

But he is still thinking of a businessman, doing business on the grassland with all his heart.

It must be that they dumped the Great Tang goods too much, which aroused the vigilance of that Pugu Yehu.

Shangbo also sighed. There are still too few diplomatic talents among the players.

But this is also normal. Ordinary people do business, and it is okay to buy low and sell high.

It is too difficult for them to understand geopolitics and learn diplomatic balance.

Shang Bo, as the chief officer of the "Uyghur Affairs Department", naturally wants to take over this trouble. He nodded and said:

"Tomorrow bring my name card and our new specialty from Longyou to visit this Pugu Yehu, and I will talk to this Yehu about freedom of trade."
