Capital Datang

Treasure Pavilion is the largest gem shop in Chinatown, and the treasures it sells are naturally top-notch gems. Even in the entire gem trading area, it is difficult to find gems of the same quality, and even if there are, people may not be willing Sell.

However, there are six women in Li Yin's family, and he is not a person who favors one another, so in the end Xiao Lin was asked to come forward and say that he was a birthday present for his cousin Wen Xin, which finally made those merchants scramble for the bottom of the box. After all, everyone knows that this Xiaobu's cousin is Princess Qi, and this is a good opportunity to make friends with the palace.

It was also by this method that Li Yin finally purchased nine pieces of gemstone jewelry of the same quality. Both the material and the workmanship were extremely rare treasures. Except for the six women in the family, each of the nine pieces of jewelry had one In addition, Concubine Yang, Cai'er, and Empress Xiao in Chang'an City also each have one piece.

After staying in New Buddha City for a few days, Li Min wandered around other places in Ceylon Island, but it was mainly concentrated in the southern area. This was mainly because the northern part of Ceylon Island was originally the sphere of influence of the Tamils. When Li Zhen and Li Yun occupied the place, they killed many people, which also made the rule over the Tamils ​​unstable. Last year, there were occasional Tamil revolts.Although the Tamils ​​had given up their resistance after being appeased by Liu Rengui, their emotions could not be reversed for the time being, so for the sake of Li Yin's safety, they only went to a few more important cities in the north.

As for the development of Ceylon Island, generally speaking, it is carried out according to the plan formulated by Li Yin. For example, the popular gem industry has entered a climax period, and many Han people come here every day with the dream of becoming rich overnight. Go mining here.Although there are not many people who are really successful, it does not detract from the enthusiasm of these people.In fact, although most people have not discovered gemstone mines.But you can rely on those who discover gemstone mines and become senior workers.After all, there are too few Han Chinese here in Ceylon. Generally, Han Chinese who discover gemstone mines naturally prefer to use their own people.Capital Datang 583

Now the number of Han people on Ceylon Island has exceeded [-], and it is still growing. In addition, after gaining a certain popularity, the tea planting industry has also begun to develop. Many big tea merchants in Datang are willing to set up in Ceylon Investment, after all, it is closer to Persia, Dashi and other places, and it is also very suitable for tea plantation.I believe that in the future, I will definitely get rich returns.

Gemstone industry and tea are the two economic pillars tailored by Li Min for Ceylon Island. This has also been proved by later history. As long as these two industries are developed, Ceylon Island will truly become the most beautiful on the Tianzhu Sea. It is a bright pearl of China, and even the beautiful local environment is also a highlight. When the transportation is convenient in the future, the development of tourism can also be put on the agenda.

However, the main purpose of Li Yin coming here from the Lion City this time was not Ceylon, it could even be said.He just visited Ceylon Island by the way, and his main purpose was Li Zhen and Li Yun's Tianzhu mainland.

Now Li Zhen and Li Yun's territory is not only the original Jola Kingdom, just a few months ago, Li Zhen and Li Yun sent troops again.They quickly wiped out several small countries around them, such as the Kingdom of Sanjay and the Kingdom of Aura.As a result, their territory has expanded more than ten times, and it is connected with the entire southern tip of the Tianzhu continent.It has been occupied by them for a small half.

The Pallava dynasty, which nominally ruled the southern tip of the Tianzhu continent, has been "forced" by them to the northwest corner of the tip.The country's land area has shrunk by three-quarters, and if Li Yun and Li Zhen's limited troops were not worried about expanding too fast to govern, the entire Pallava dynasty would have perished long ago.

It was in this situation that Li Yin rushed to the city of Chola where Li Zhen and Li Yun were located by boat.Chola City was originally a port city. After Li Yun's governance, the port was orderly, and various port facilities were gradually being improved. Coupled with the assistance of Wang Xuance and others, the development of Chola City Very quickly, it has now become a large port with the same reputation as the New Buddha City, and there is no other large port comparable to them in the entire South Tianzhu.

After Li Yin's big ship docked at Chola Port, Li Yin originally wanted to visit the city, but when Li Zhen and Li Yun heard that he was coming, they rushed to the port immediately and dragged him into their temple middle.

Li Zhen and Li Yun had transformed the Brahmans before, and promoted themselves as the reincarnation of the god of protection and the god of destruction, so the two of them naturally couldn't live in ordinary places. A large-scale temple was built in the center of the city, and behind the temple, there were two separate mansions, where the families of the two lived respectively.

The shrine is the place where Li Zhen and Li Yun convened ministers to discuss matters. Its function is similar to that of Taiji Hall in Chang'an Taiji Palace.It's just that when Li Yin saw this temple, he felt stunned, because the whole hall was divided into two parts from the center, the left part was pure black, while the right part was pure white, and the left and right sides were completely separated. Symmetry, looks very weird.

And after entering the interior of the temple, you will find that the interior decoration is also the same, with black and white on the left and right, but at the position facing the main entrance, there is a high platform, which is also divided into black and white. There are two chairs, but the color of these two chairs is exactly the opposite of that of the temple. There is a white chair in the black place on the left, and a black chair in the white place on the right.

At first, Li Yun didn't quite understand the design of the temple, but after Li Yun's explanation, he realized that the whole temple borrowed some Taoist yin and yang theories, and they respectively interpreted yin and yang as the protectors of Brahmans. The Lord of Destruction and the Lord of Destruction, although the two seem to be opposed, they are actually interdependent, and in the protection there is destruction, and in the destruction there is new life. The two "tones" of the entire hall are to reflect this theory .

"Hahaha~, you two are really good at talking nonsense, even Taoist theories have been moved into the Brahmins, and you are not afraid of our ancestor's blame?" Li Yin laughed and said after hearing this.At the same time, he didn't look at his two younger brothers. Li Zhen and Li Yun were much darker than when they parted at the beginning, but they were also more mature, especially Li Zhen, the greenness on his face had gradually faded, slowly Slowly turning into a kind of iron-blooded "color" of a general on the battlefield.

"How can the old ancestor be as knowledgeable as us, and we can carry forward his theory, maybe he will be very happy." Li Zhen also said with a smile.He is a soldier, and he has never believed in ghosts and gods. Even Lao Tzu dared to joke about it.

However, regarding Li Yin and Li Zhen making jokes about Lao Tzu, Li Yun next to him shook his head and smiled bitterly. The sage yiyàng's point of view is to keep a respectful distance away, so he will not participate in this kind of conversation.

Li Yin and Li Zhen made a few jokes, and then asked Li Yun next to him: "Seventh brother, your territory is expanding so fast, you, the protector in charge of government affairs, are probably too busy?"

When Li Yun heard it, he immediately poured out his bitterness and said, "You still have to be considerate of me, brother six, but when it comes to this matter, brother six, you must help me talk about the eighth brother, otherwise I really can't do this job any longer. !"

"Oh? What's going on, what did the eighth brother do to make you angry?" Li Yin asked in surprise, and at the same time turned his head to look at Li Zhen, only to find that Li Zhen was sitting there dissatisfied.

Next, Li Yun told what Li Zhen did, but Li Yun frowned after hearing this, because this matter is not big or small, and the main reason lies in the expansion some time ago In the battle of the war, Li Zhen massacred the armies of those small countries, even some surrendered armies were not spared.

Li Zhen also has his reasons for doing this. One is because they have too few troops to control the large number of captives. .Another reason is that he is known as the Lord of Destruction. Killing people will only increase his reputation. No matter which army sees him in the future, they will feel a kind of fear. They beat.Capital Datang 583

However, Li Yun held a different point of view, because in his opinion, these prisoners of war were good laborers. If they could be kept, not only could the population in their hands be increased, but it would also be easier to recruit soldiers in the future.In addition, Li Zhen's "reckless" killing has also caused many Tianzhu people to be somewhat hostile to them. During this period of time, he has tried his best to appease the people in the newly occupied area, but even so, there are still a few Although the rebellion was successfully suppressed, it also had a considerable impact on the local economy.

Both of them have their own reasons, but after thinking about it for a long time, Li Yun couldn't judge who was right and who was wrong, but Li Yun had to bear the consequences of Li Zhen's massacre of so many people. With Yin's insistence, Li Zhen was asked to admit his mistake to Li Yun first, and then Li Zhen was asked to take on more government affairs when he was free, which can be regarded as sharing with Li Yun.

And Li Zhen is not an ignorant person, and he is the most convinced Li Yin, so he finally followed Li Yin's words, which finally made Li Yun calm down.

After resolving the small conflict between the two, Li Yin suddenly thought of his main purpose of coming, so he asked: "Seventh brother, eighth brother, you have expanded your territory this time. How is the promotion going?" (To be continued...)
