Luo Zhang didn't know what happened in the court. He said everything that needed to be said. As for whether Li Shimin listened or not, that was his business.

Luo Zhang can't guarantee how long he can live, but the Tang Dynasty is his home, and no matter what, he will try his best to protect it.

Luo Zhang has already made some preparations for potential threats.

There are also many merchants from the Western Regions in Tubo. These merchants often travel between the two places and enter the Tang Dynasty through Tubo.

Luo Zhang's arrangement was to find these merchants from the Western Regions and ask them to go to the Big Food Country to buy a large amount of spices. He bought them at a high price and at the same time asked them to inquire about various situations in the Big Food Country, such as the income of the people, the folk customs, and the

How did the country respond to natural disasters, etc.

There was no mention of letting these people inquire about the situation of the army of the Great Food Country.

Luo Zhang didn't want to mention it. He was afraid that if he did, these Western businessmen would definitely refuse. If this was discovered, it would be a big deal. They were just businessmen and would never do such a thing no matter how much money they were given.

Just because he knew this would happen, Luo Zhang adopted a roundabout strategy. He started with the economic situation of the big food country and the prosperity of the people. These are people's livelihood. If the people of the big food country are rich and the economic situation is good, then it represents the army.

of strength.

We must know that a strong army must have a strong economic foundation behind it.

Luo Zhang even knew that the Food Country was not as short of food as the Tang Dynasty. The land there was extremely rich, and it was a place where food could be harvested three times a year. This was also the reason why the Country of Food was going on wars all around, and the domestic situation was

No one starved to death.

And more importantly, everyone in the Big Food Country is a good businessman. Before they even left the country, the merchants from the Big Food Country had already traveled to other countries on their large sea ships.

The large sea-going ship of the Great Food Kingdom that was encountered outside Quanzhou Port almost wiped out the Tang Dynasty Navy. This was because there were enough offshore sea-going ships and with the help of iron knots, they barely managed to win. Otherwise, a large sea-going ship would have been destroyed.

Can lead the entire Tang Dynasty navy to destruction.

It also proves the power of the Food Country from the side. What Luo Zhang is most worried about right now is that the Food Country has also developed gunpowder. The people there are extremely smart. Once they have gunpowder, they can use it.

On top of weapons.

Of course, from an understanding of history, we know that there was no such thing as gunpowder in the Great Food Country. Even if it was, it would be hundreds of years later. But something was discovered, and that was oil.

The refining of oil was somehow tinkered with by the people of the Dashi country. This thing can not only be used by the people, but can also be used for standing.

For example, making gasoline bombs, but at this time it should be called kerosene bombs.

Most of the kerosene here in Datang is kerosene, and its power is no less than that of real kerosene.

You should know that kerosene can still burn even if it encounters water, unlike kerosene, which will be extinguished as soon as it is poured with water.

With such a sharp weapon, it is not much less powerful than artillery, and it is also a weapon of mass destruction.

It's not that Luo Zhang never thought about making fire oil, but he didn't know how to purify it at all. He was blessed by God to be able to make gunpowder. If he was asked to make fire oil again, it would be better to kill him.

After all, although Luo Zhang traveled through time, he was once just an ordinary person and not a cheater. If this were true, it would be a bit outrageous.

But having said that, Luo Zhang is already a bit outrageous now. Because of his appearance, the Tang Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The Eastern Turks were destroyed, Gaoguli was destroyed, the Western Turks were destroyed, and Tubo was destroyed. Even the Nanyue Kingdom in the south was used by Luo Zhang, causing Feng Yi to go there to cause trouble.

The only hidden danger is in Shuzhong. I don't know what will happen if Changsun Wuji goes there, but Luo Zhang knows that this old guy is not a peaceful man and will definitely stir up the situation and will not make it easy for him.

While Luo Zhang was arranging all the affairs in Tubo, a letter from a flying pigeon flew from distant Shu to Chang'an.

When Li Shimin saw this letter from Fei Ge, his expression turned extremely ugly.

He immediately wrote a letter and asked Eunuch Huang to pass it on to Li Jing and Luo Zhang, ordering them to return assistance as soon as possible.
