Chapter 2455 Privately Carved Imperial Seal Friendship Road

Princess Yongmu and Xiaolan looked at Li Yi in surprise at the same time, wondering.

Li Yi didn't like gems before. If the people of the Tang Dynasty didn't think jade was expensive, he wouldn't have wanted it.

He liked diamonds because they could be used to cut glass.

Gold, silver, copper, blood coral, and dark wood were what Li Yi was willing to collect and use as collateral to issue currency.

Gems and jade were never used as collateral.

"Li Lang, what do you want gems for?" Princess Yongmu pulled Li Yi in and stopped feeding the seagulls.

"If people outside the Tang Dynasty like it, I want it, and then sell it to them in exchange for what I need.

If such luxury goods are popular in the Tang Dynasty, capital will flow out. We will make less money from it, and it's not cost-effective.

The key is that this thing can't be eaten, it's not as good as pearls, which can at least be used for medicine."

Li Yi said as he went into his bathroom, and there was bird droppings on his head.

When the sky was bright once, land was seen from a distance.

The drone filmed and zoomed in, and found a large number of ships docked nearby.

"We saw people, our people, send a telegram to inquire." Li Yi smiled.

This Sinhalese Kingdom has exchanges with the Tang Dynasty, mainly in terms of faith, monks.

It takes a long time to walk over land, over mountains and across ridges.

"Master Li, I am Li Gen. I will stay in Sinhalese, and the others will lead the team to continue to move forward and exchange things with them. There will be no loss of personnel along the way."

The other side called back and said briefly that we are all alive.

Li Yi ignored it and the yacht accelerated.

Twenty minutes later, he met with the fleet, the soldiers saluted quickly, and the yacht docked.

The people of the Sinhalese Kingdom were waiting on the shore, looking very enthusiastic.

"How did you communicate?" Li Yi asked Li Gen.

"Sanskrit!" Li Gen answered naturally.

"Oh! Easy, I know this." Li Yi suddenly realized that he could not speak Sinhalese.

Fortunately, with the spread of Buddhism, everyone can speak Sanskrit. It is a common language. Ordinary people can't, but the upper class has no problem.

Translation is: The other party said that he was the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and he was ordered by King Gebubudo Degobo to entertain people from the Tang Dynasty. His name is Katoji.

Li Yi understood that the way of naming was different from that after the Tamils ​​came.

The two sides were fighting, but not in Sri Lanka. It would take hundreds of years for the Tamils ​​to come here.

Li Yi introduced himself as: Zhongshu Ling, Shangshu Zuo Pushe, Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi.

These officials are high-ranking, and any one of them is a prime minister, Zhongshu Sheng, Shangshu Sheng, Menxia Sheng.

The people of the Tang Dynasty team who can speak Sanskrit nodded and admitted that what you said is what you said, there is no problem, as long as you don’t say you are the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, there will be no conflict.

After the other party understood the meaning, they recognized Li Yi’s identity, amazing! Such a high-ranking official is still running away.

Princess Yongmu also came over and said that she was a princess of the Tang Dynasty.

The other party was shocked again. Such a high-ranking official of the Tang Dynasty ran away with the princess?

He looked at other Tang Dynasty soldiers: You don’t catch him? He kidnapped your princess.

Everyone just greeted Princess Yongmu and pretended not to see Katoji’s eyes.

Where are Li Dongzhu and Princess Yongmu running? Lijiazhuangzi is in the Tang Dynasty!

Li Yi took out a clock, which was indeed a clock, and taught the other party how to tell time and how to wind it, and not to twist it too much.

Princess Yongmu gave the other party a makeup box on behalf of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to the other party's king, and gave the other party a makeup box on behalf of Queen Wang to the other party's queen.

In fact, the other party has many women, but she doesn't care, just one.

After Katoji figured out how to tell time with a clock, he knew the value of the gift, a god-like thing!

He also looked at the makeup box, but he didn't know how to use it, but the small mirror was very clear.

He left Li Yi and others, took the things and ran away, and went back to find the king.

"Do I have to write a letter of state and leave a set of seals?" Li Yi asked Princess Yongmu.

"Letter of state? What seal?" Princess Yongmu felt that neither of these two things was ordinary.

"Your Majesty, when you write a letter from the king of the other side, it is actually a letter from the prime minister. Your Majesty will put a seal on it. I am the prime minister, and I will put the seals of three provinces.

What does your Majesty's seal look like? I'll carve one out of a radish. I'll just use it. It's not easy to go back and get it.

Yes, I want Queen Wang's too. From now on, our two countries are friendly neighbors."

Li Yi decided to run back to the yacht to write the letter and carve the seal.

"Neighbors?" Princess Yongmu found the key words.

As for Li Yi's private seals of the emperor and the queen, she didn't care.

The radish is used once after carving, and the carved part can be shaved off, and it can still be eaten! Braised pork stewed with radish?

Half an hour later, Li Yi got off the boat with the letter in his hand.

"Where's the seal? Where's the radish?" Princess Yongmu opened it to see that the seal was not wrong.

"Don't use the carved part. I'll stew braised pork for you at noon." Li Yi rolled up the letter again.

"Yeah!" Princess Yongmu smiled.

Li Yi turned around and asked the stunned Li Gen: "Did you exchange things with the locals?"

Li Gen came back to his senses: "Matches for gems and gold nuggets, put them in our Tang Dynasty cruiser later!"

"Gold? Yes, there are gold mines in the local area, okay, I'll take them back and put them on your heads.

I brought you 80 automatic rifles, the same as assault rifles, made in the village, the bullets are compatible with water bullets..."

Li Yi began to explain the weapons. Now that he saw the Tang Dynasty team, he would not go to Tianzhu in the future, but directly to Africa.

We took a total of 100 automatic rifles, one for Jia Tong, and 80 for Li Gen, who then sent them to the team heading to Tianzhu.

The remaining 19 were for me to take with me, in case the Umayyad Dynasty was really stupid and wanted to attack me, I would have to have a weapon.

Bullets were not given to Li Gen, as the ship was equipped with water-repeating rifles and a lot of bullets.

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty ran to the ships carrying things and moved them down, dispersing them, fearing that if an accident happened, all of them would sink into the sea with one ship.

"Master Li, look, there are more than 400 kilograms of gold, and the purity is not very good. I used 50,000 boxes of matches to exchange for the matches sent from thousands of miles away."

Li Gen said to Li Yi as if he had suffered a great loss.

"You actually paid so much money, I will deduct one month's salary from you." Li Yi's face sank.

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for not killing me." Li Gen cooperated.

Princess Yongmu smiled with her hands covering her mouth. Fifty thousand boxes of matches could be exchanged for more than 400 kilograms of gold. How much gold would the people of the Tang Dynasty burn every day?

Then there was a pile of gems with many colors, some of which were still gray, and some were polished with animal skins.

A large box of different sizes.

"These are fifty thousand boxes of matches. Colored gems are also very precious here. They will take the matches to exchange for things with others.

There are a lot of stones that are similar to glass. When they dig for gems, they throw them on the roadside. They are useless and worthless."

Li Gen introduced the value of these gems. Everyone likes beautiful things.

"Colorless ones are not valuable? Oh, yes, they are indeed not valuable. They can return gold and gems in return.

Then... you still have matches, right? Give them a thousand boxes and ask them to give me the broken stones without colors.

I will take them back to build roads and witness the friendship between the two countries. Whenever I walk on that road, I will miss the people here."

Li Yi heard Li Gen's words and rolled his eyes. He wanted to exchange.
