Chapter 1779 Credit-Based and Clever
Chidai Zhudan was also eating. He had just finished studying. Nagli next to him remembered the most clearly. If the Zanpu forgot any details, he would need to remind him.
"Zanpu, let me take a look at Lijiazhuangzi. It is better than our Red and White Palace."
Nagli found the situation and felt comfortable in the manor.
Whether it was looking at people, houses, or roads, it was relaxing.
"Lijiazhuangzi is richer than us." Chidai Zhudan was the most practical. In his impression, it was easier to do things if you had money.
In Tubo, felt, gold, Dzi beads, yaks, sheep, horses, and slaves were money that could be exchanged with others.
In addition, the copper coins of the Tang Dynasty could be circulated in Tubo, but the number was scarce.
There was a period of time, that is, after the attack on Songzhou of the Tang Dynasty, all the bridges were demolished, and there was no way to exchange things with the Tang Dynasty.
Fortunately, the merchants of the Tang Dynasty came here secretly. Although the roads were difficult to travel, they were able to trade after all.
I didn't come last year, probably because of the war.
At present, the exchange vouchers of Lijiazhuang are more useful than copper coins and convenient to carry. If you don't want to go too far, you can buy things from the Tang army at the place where the castle is built on the Yellow River.
"Zanpu, the exchange vouchers are printed, such as engraving boards to print scriptures. Can the princess ask His Majesty the Tang Dynasty for a set, and we will go back to print? Don't print Lijiazhuang's, print our money, and then take it to the Tang Dynasty to spend."
Nageli is trying to give Chidai Zhudan some ideas. It's easier to bring anything than paper.
"I want books, not printed things." Chidai Zhudan shook his head.
Without waiting for Nageli to ask, he continued: "If you can get a book, you should study hard. After you understand it, you won't come up with such ideas."
Chidai Zhudan found that his followers were stupid. Tubo prints money by itself? After printing money, go to the Tang Dynasty to buy things? Will the Tang Dynasty agree?
"Zanpu is saying that the Tang Dynasty will not recognize the currency we print? It's easy. When the time comes, we will drive livestock and other things over and allow the Tang Dynasty to buy with our money."
Nageli seemed to have thought about it long ago, and it sounded reasonable.
After printing money to buy your things, you use money to buy my things, and I admit that the money can be used to buy them.
"If the Tang Dynasty does not allow it, what's the use of your permission?"
Chidai Zhudan took a bite of the good pine mushrooms sent by Khitan and felt helpless.
"We all recognize the money of the Tang Dynasty. We agree to the amount of money written on a piece of paper. Why don't they agree to us?"
Nageri thinks that the most important thing about paper money is anti-counterfeiting. As long as others cannot forge it, there will be no problem.
"The exchange voucher is guaranteed by Lijiazhuangzi. You can go to Lijiazhuangzi to exchange for gold, silver, and brass with the exchange voucher. Not a penny will be wrong.
The people of the Tang Dynasty recognize it. The people know that Lijiazhuangzi will not cheat people. Li Yi paid a great price for it.
What do you use to guarantee the money you print? Will others believe you?"
Chidai Zhudan always stays with Princess Jincheng and learns a little. He has never considered printing money himself.
He also thought about exchanging many small-denomination exchange vouchers, and circulates them among the Tubo tribes after returning to Tubo.
Everyone determines the price with each other to avoid unfair exchanges sometimes.
For example, if a yak is exchanged for a few sheep, the price can only be negotiated based on their respective needs, and it is impossible to be accurate to the pound.
As long as the exchange is made, it is one yak for five or six sheep. If you think six is too many or five is too few, you need to use other things to compensate, which is too troublesome.
With paper money, the price is agreed upon, and there is no need for both parties to make up.
"Alas!" Nageri was also helpless.
He was not very clear about the connotation of the currency war, and he was worried in his heart, as if there would be problems with using the Tang Dynasty's exchange coupons.
"After dinner, take a rest and go out for a walk."
Chidai Zhudan was ready to stroll. He was not tired. He ate well and slept well on the boat.
He had a general understanding of Jingzhao Prefecture from the newspapers and the information sent back by the envoys, as well as the road on the way here, but he wanted to go around.
"Call Li Yi." Nageri was afraid of danger.
"Of course." Chidai Zhudan responded.
...
Others were eating, and the Tang people who married with her found that Jingzhao Prefecture had changed a lot from when she went out, except for the city wall.
The children brought back ranged from one to seven years old. The Tang Dynasty seemed very strange to the children born in Tubo.
But there was a hint of intimacy in the strangeness. They were not afraid, but more curious.
They were in Tubo, and their living circle was relatively conservative. Everyone spoke the Tang language. They learned the Tibetan language and played with the children of Tubo.
When they returned home, they could always hear their parents talking about the Tang Dynasty.
When they arrived in the Tang Dynasty, they looked at other things very naturally.
With delicious food and new clothes, and the children from the farm accompanying them, they quickly adapted.
The people who came from Tubo with the ruler and the pearls had more tasks than the people of Princess Jincheng. They observed and remembered carefully.
They remembered what Dalun had told them before departure, whether good or bad, and supplemented each other after returning to Tubo.
At this moment, they remembered that the food in Lijiazhuang was delicious, and many dishes had never been seen in Tubo.
In addition, Lijiazhuang was indeed rich, and the farmers, that is, the slaves, wore good clothes, not vulgar at all.
There is actually a windmill in Lijiazhuangzi that pumps water. It turns and turns, and the water in the very thin pipe keeps coming out.
How is it made? It would be great if Tubo could have a bunch of wells like this. The wind in Tubo is very strong, and the windmill will keep turning.
Dalun asked me to contact my own people in the Honglu Temple of the Tang Dynasty. How can I contact them now?
There are Yulin flying cavalry all around, and I am not allowed to walk around casually.
The people who came to Datang with Chidai Zhudan were anxious, and the people who were equally anxious were outside.
A group of Tubo envoys ran to the market at the head of Bashui Bridge to eat, but they didn't eat noodles, which left a psychological shadow on Bo'e.
I was cheated last time when I went to Lijiazhuangzi. When I thought of the appearance of the noodle seller, I felt uncomfortable all over my body.
"Eat it, get used to it again." Yixinba was eating tsampa. He had been in Datang for a long time and didn't like tsampa very much.
Datang people eat with chopsticks, and they feel inferior if they grab it with their hands.
There are actually several tsampa stalls in the market today, which is very abrupt. They were never seen before.
What's more amazing is that a group of Datang people are eating tsampa in a proper manner, and they are eating it very deliciously. Do you really eat this normally?
"What's wrong with them?" Bo'e looked at the Datang people next to him and was puzzled.
"Li Yi has a lot on his mind, just pretending to show it to the Zamp." Yixinba guessed it.
Now people who eat tsampa can become guards at any time. It's fake and has nothing to do with ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty.
As he said that, he made a ball. He had to admit that the tsampa made by Lijiazhuang tasted better than the one he had in Tubo.
The barley flour was very fine, and it felt like 60-minute flour. Honey was added when it was copied.
Where can I get so much honey in Tubo? It's a joke.
It's rolled up with butter tea, and it tastes delicious. It would be great if the Tubo people could eat this kind of tsampa every meal.
