Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 710 The plan continues to advance
The reason why there were so many wars and conflicts in ancient times is that the rulers did not solve the survival problems of all people.

Like later generations, when everyone is well-fed and rich, basically no one is willing to jump out and do such a thing.

Of course, this cannot be entirely blamed on the monarch.

Due to the low productivity in ancient times, resources can only guarantee the survival of some people, so they have to make some choices.

Let you have thousands of great principles, if you have no food, no one will tell you these principles.

Therefore, productivity is the fundamental solution to all problems, and after Sun Xiangfu, a traveler, solved the productivity of Datang, those disputes caused by survival resources ceased to exist.

Now, Datang has not only solved its own internal problems well, but also solved the problems of the entire Eurasian continent and the entire human race. This is the meaning of launching the unification war.

This core idea must be passed on to the army in order to avoid many things that shouldn't happen.

After the banquet, the two brothers Li Tai and Li Ke wrote the things Sun Xiangfu said into a memorial and reported it to Li Shimin. Although it was a little unnecessary, they still did it.

How could Li Shimin, who has set national integration as one of the core ideas of governing the country, not have such a cognition!

However, when Li Shimin saw their memorial, he felt a little relieved.

At least, these two sons are able to see the general situation clearly through some things, and know what is good for the country. They are not mediocre talents without long-term thinking.

Finally, the [-]nd Sports Conference was about to open in the anticipation of everyone.

Li Shimin and his family will all appear on the stage in a decorated boat. The little ones of the Sun family also got on the boat, dressed in very energetic new clothes, and mixed in with a group of princes and princesses. Anyway, there is a worship ceremony During the ceremony, they will not go ashore. When the worship ceremony is over, they will follow the royal team and go to a reserved location to watch the show.

In the crisp autumn weather, the sun is very bright, and the big ship has a great visual impact, because the decoration on the huge ship is a huge golden dragon shining in the sun. In order to make this decoration, it took a sculptor, and The painters did a great job.

As Li Shimin and his wife helped Li Yuan off the boat slowly, the whole stadium began to become solemn and solemn.

This sports meeting is not like when it was in Dingxiang three years ago, when more than 200 million people gathered together to watch it.

A total of less than 10 people were able to get tickets and have seats. In addition, an open space was opened to see the scene, allowing some people to stand and watch from a distance.

The cruise ship on the long lake can also see some of the main venue, but there is a large performance area on the lake that is isolated. If they don't have binoculars, they can only get a rough look.

With the experience of being watched by millions of people, Li Shimin, his wife and Li Yuan didn't feel anything about this scene of more than 20 to [-] people, but Li Chengqian was a little excited and enjoyed the attention of everyone.

This year, Sun Xiangfu can only stand in the second row of the courtiers, because there are Feng An, Li Jing, Fang Xuanling, and Wen Yanbo in front of him, who are higher than him in terms of official titles. Compared with the opening ceremony of Dingxiang, after worshiping and lighting the fire , Sun Xiangfu quickly slipped to sit with his children, these guys are still young, Yu Xiuer, Li Xiangdie, and Yao Hongxiu are all busy with business, Hongmei and Chuntao alone cannot take care of them.

Kang Bao kept writhing in Sun Xiangfu's arms, looking around.Sun Jing and Sun Wanting were not in their seats, and each held a telescope. Like many young princes, they squeezed in the front row, watching the program on the field, while Sun Xiaomei took care of them. Jiangling City, so she can enter this area without Sun Xiangfu's help.

Of course, who their binoculars look at varies from person to person.At this time, Yu Xiu'er has already held up her red tassels to direct the musicians to start playing music. However, it is just that she personally conducts the first few songs, and there will be several master musicians to take over later. After all, this theatrical performance has a long up to three hours.

The first program is the singing and dancing of the Tujia nationality in Shannan Road. Thousands of people, dressed in distinctive ethnic minority costumes, holding long-tube leather drums, ran to the field and lined up quickly. At the same time, they rowed dozens of bamboo rafts quickly. , also arrived at the surface of the Changhu Lake beside the performance venue, and quickly formed a shape. The men on the bamboo rafts wore red silk around their waists, striped red scarf hoods on their heads, and long bamboo poles, which were props for their dancing. .

"Yo~, yo, yo."

Roaring is the prelude to the performance. After all, without audio equipment, a solo performance cannot be realized.

"The offspring of the mountain~ I love the sun~ The sun loves me~ People in the mountains."

After a period of shouting singing, the gong and drum music entered a cheerful rhythm.

"The mountain road here has eighteen bends, and the waterway here has nine loops..."

The cultural performances organized by the art troupe never disappoint. In fact, many people present have already heard the solo version, but this kind of big scene of thousands of dancers can give them a different feeling. Soon, he entered a state of intoxication.

In the stands, Wen Yanbo, who was sitting with Fang Xuanling, sighed with a smile after halfway through the song, "Speaking of promoting national integration! It's really the best effect of this literary and artistic song and dance performance. A few years ago, who could I think that these ethnic minorities living in the deep mountains can learn our Chinese language so well, and they can also sing in Chinese to express their feelings.”

"Hehe, there is nothing in Zhengming's brain that is not easy to use. You didn't see a performance at Wang's Restaurant two days ago. Two singers, a male and a female, from the Yunnan Art Troupe sang There is a new work by Zhengming, called "Butterfly Spring", it is so beautiful, even this old man recalls some affectionate scenes from his youthful days, and he wanted to visit Yunnan at that time." Fang Xuanling said with a smile.

"Really, I'm afraid this is what Zhengming wanted to achieve in his heart. Not to mention, I also heard a wonderful song in the Chen's Hotel yesterday. It was the accent of Lingnan. Although I didn't fully understand it, but I think it's very pleasant..."

The charm of folk songs is difficult for people to be low-level. It can easily impress everyone who loves life. Even after the impact of popular music, many works can still maintain a high popularity for decades, or even a hundred years. Go through multiple backgrounds without being eliminated.

Using its powerful charm to promote cultural propaganda and promote national integration, the effect is very positive and effective. This has been verified in the early days of the founding of the later generations.

Therefore, this cultural performance at the opening ceremony was undoubtedly a success, especially when the "Tea Mountain Love Song" performed by the local Han people in Shannan Province began. climax.

As these programs continue to be staged in various venues in Jiangling City, people of all nationalities who come to Jiangling City to watch the excitement will have a deeper impression and more understanding of each other. The gap between the various ethnic groups.

At the beginning of the sports meeting, Jiangling City, which was already extremely lively, was boiling everywhere like a pot of boiling water. Not only on the field, various intense competitions were going on, outside the field, various political consultations, It is also in full swing.

Unknowingly, every empire and kingdom is more or less related to Datang when doing any major event, because Datang's economy is too large, and they can make them Desperate to die.

According to the second expansion plan discussed by the ministers and Li Shimin, it is to promote currency unification.

Now, all countries need to find Datang for trade, including the old and powerful empires like Byzantium, and Datang only recognizes Tang coins. With the stable prices of Datang and the exquisite coins, Li Shimin is entertaining the heads of state at the banquet. As soon as this matter was brought up by God, it quickly received responses from many kingdoms.

In their view, this is a great thing to improve the quality of coins and facilitate transactions. Although they need to hand over their country's gold, silver and copper to Datang to mint coins, there will be some losses, but the new coins minted will not be like they used to. As much as the coins you hold, the rust wears away so quickly.

The point is, if they agree to use all Tang money under their own country, Datang will send personnel to their country to open banks and mints.

The representatives of various countries who can communicate with Datang are not fools. There are dozens of benefits that a Datang Bank in their country can bring to them. , can greatly facilitate their daily transactions, and the service of depositing money locally and withdrawing money in other places can save them a lot of money transportation expenses.

For example, Heraclius brought [-] camels of gold when he came to Datang this time. There are dozens of people who need to take care of the camels, load and unload goods, and at least hundreds of people are needed to protect these camels. Safety, with so many people eating, drinking and lodging, how much did they spend in total after more than half a year?At least tens of thousands.

But if Datang has a bank branch in the Byzantine Empire, then it will be convenient for him. He only needs to deposit gold in the bank of Datang, and he can bring a deposit book to Datang. When he needs money , Go directly to the bank here to withdraw money, and you can directly transfer to the account for large expenses.

Of course, Heraclius would definitely not do such a thing of entrusting the management of currency to others, and he might not have done such a thing before he inherited the throne.

But he doesn't do it, others will. When those small kingdoms exchange their money for Tang money, if you want to trade with them, you need to use Tang money for settlement, which makes him depressed.

In the few years since the Tang Dynasty issued the new currency, almost one-third of the coins in the Byzantine Empire have become Tang coins. If their gold and silver mining capabilities are not strong, the country will almost be troubled. It's gone, and after Datang's policy is implemented, don't even think about it, Heraclius also knows that the speed of money flowing into Datang will increase.

When the Byzantine Empire needed to exchange money for Tang money whenever it used foreign countries, and when foreigners used money for the Byzantine Empire, they all gave Tang money. They didn't want to change, but they had to change.

This is not like the era of banknotes in later generations, and there are more professional calculation methods to calculate exchange rates. This is an era when coins themselves have super high value, and gold, silver and copper are currencies recognized by everyone. The value is directly linked to Datang's grain.

Therefore, when Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others were constantly signing agreed agreements with various countries, Chirac panicked a little. He didn't expect that even big empires like Dashi and Persia would immediately contact Datang sign a contract.

There is no way, let alone this is the trend of the times, these two countries will be counting on Datang to live in the future!The cooperation that Li Tai talked about with them made them have to bow their heads!
