Li Yan pressed his finger on the map of North and South America for a long time. After a while, he turned his head with a smile and asked Li Zhi, "Ninth Brother, tell me, is our Tang Dynasty expensive gold or brass expensive?"
"Sixth Brother, aren't you talking nonsense? Of course, gold is expensive!" Li Zhizheng was fascinated by the hearing. Unexpectedly, Li Yan would suddenly ask such an idiotic question. Li Ke and others were also stunned. The eyes of Li Yan looking at Li Yan also showed some suspicion. They could ask such idiotic questions, which made them have to wonder whether what Li Yan said just now was all crazy talk?
"Hehe, as long as gold is expensive!" Li Yan smiled very strangely. Although gold is not the circulating currency of the Tang Dynasty, its value itself is far more valuable than brass. "Since you all know that gold is expensive, then does anyone want gold?"
Li Yan's question this time was even more idiotic. Although the princes and princesses were all sitting there, they usually had a lot of expenses, so naturally they would not think that they had too much money. Therefore, when they heard Li Yan's nonsense, they all rolled their eyes, and at the same time they were even more worried about Li Yan's mental state.
"Haha, since everyone wants it, please look here!" Li Yan pointed at North and South America with his finger, and then said again, "This is two new continents, with only a narrow and long land in the middle. On these two continents, the most famous mineral is gold. Although it cannot be said that it is everywhere, it is also very common. As long as you can get here by boat, it is easy to exchange a large amount of gold from the local indigenous people, which is almost hundreds of times the profit."
When Li Yan said this, he swallowed a little invisibly. Then he continued: "In addition to gold, there are many things that are useful to us on this continent, such as corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and these can all reach high-yield crops with a yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu. In addition, there are a large number of economic crops such as peppers, cocoa, rubber, etc. Each of them produces a lot of economic benefits. There are countless minerals such as copper and iron. It can be said that it is a god-given place. Compared with the minerals of our Tang Dynasty and the New World, the distance between them is not a little bit!"
What Li Yan said is indeed the truth. Whether it is South America or North America, it can indeed be called a god-given place. Not only are there extremely rich minerals there, but it is also the birthplace of various high-yield crops. When the people in the Central Plains starved to death countless times due to famine, sweet potatoes and corn in North and South America grew vigorously. Later, due to the introduction of sweet potatoes, the Qing Dynasty's territory for hundreds of years had been established. Otherwise, according to their brutal rule, there would have been no idea how many major riots would have occurred.
"Sixth Brother, what you said is true? Are there really so much gold on these two new continents?" Li Zhi's eyes were full of stars. He yearned for the overseas world that Li Yan said. He also had an instinctive pursuit of gold. Therefore, as soon as Li Yan finished speaking, Li Zhi immediately asked.
"Of course, I heard that there is a story on that New World, that is, two tribes fight. As a result, the leader of one of the tribes was captured by the other party. As a result, the people made a request to let the people in the tribe fill a big house with gold and silver. As a result, they did it immediately. Unfortunately, the captured leader was still killed by the other party in the end!" Li Yan bragged and did not make drafts, and brought out the stories of later Spanish and Incas. He also made a little exaggeration to increase the attractiveness of the New World.
"There are people on the New World?" Li Zhen also shouted excitedly at this time. As a young man, he was instinctively curious about these novel things, and Li Zhen was completely trapped in his fantasy of the New World.
"That's natural, but the people above were loose tribes. Like the primitive tribes that were legendary in ancient times, they could not even build iron tools, and even metal weapons, so there was no threat at all!" It was not Li Yan who was lying. When the Spaniards conquered South America, the Incas did not have metal weapons. Li Yan knew much about the situation in North America, but it was probably the same.
"Liulang, if it is really as you said, the various high-yield crops produced on the New World are simply god-given food for the people of the Central Plains. No wonder you have spared no effort to develop the shipbuilding industry after you arrived in Dengzhou and are preparing to develop southward. I guess you have been preparing for a long voyage to the New World, right?" Li Ke also rubbed his hands excitedly.
He finally understood what Li Yan meant when he said that he was going to show him a new path of life. Although this path was difficult and even full of dangers and bumps, it was most appropriate for his current situation. After all, the throne of the Tang Dynasty was no longer possible with him, so it would be better to do something big with Li Yan, and maybe he could do more in the future. Thinking of this, Li Ke couldn't help but feel excited.
"Sixth brother is so ambitious, I'll give you a glass!" At this moment, the other brothers and sisters present also woke up. Among them, Qinghe was infected by the passion of his sixth brother. In an emotional excitement, he picked up the wine glass and said to Li Yan very heroically.
"Hahaha~, thank you for the praise of Eleventh Sister!" Li Yan exuded his ambition in his heart. He felt very happy now. Therefore, when he saw his sister toasting, he did not refuse at the moment. He picked up the wine glass and toasted Qinghexu for a while, and then the two of them drank it all at the same time.
"Sixth Brother, I'm also there!" Li Zhen also stood up at this time and said excitedly, "Sixth Brother, since you helped me stand out last time, I have regarded you as my role model and want to learn from you, you are everywhere, but until today I know that what I should learn from you, Liuth Brother is this broad mind and ambition!"
Li Zhen said, and also toasted Li Yan with a glass of wine.
"Sixth brother...sixth brother..." With Qinghe and Li Zhen in the lead, the other brothers and sisters present also stood up one after another. Although some were not optimistic about Li Yan's plan to explore, this ambition was enough to impress everyone. Therefore, Li Yan was overwhelmed for a while. Finally, even the Crown Princess and Princess Wei came forward to toast him under the guidance of Princess Wu. Although the Crown Princess and Princess Wei were women, they also knew the situation of their husbands. Now after hearing Li Yan's ambition, they knew that their husband had lost one of the biggest opponents. In addition, they also admired the Sixth brother very much, so they asked Princess Wu to help and led them to come up to toast in person.
Li Yan also refused to accept the toasts from his brothers and sisters, and his three sisters-in-law could not refuse the wine. However, after these more than 20 glasses of wine, he felt the alcohol surge and his mind was a little confused.
"Sixth brother, fifth sister, I would like to give you a cup. With your ability, you will definitely be able to break out a foundation that is not inferior to your father!" At this moment, Princess Changle Li Lizhi also walked over with a smile, with an unconcealed look of appreciation on her face.
"Thank you, Sister Wu!" Li Yan looked up and looked at the other party deeply, picked up the wine glass and drank it generously, but then said, "Fifth sister knows my ambition, so she must be relieved. In addition, please tell Lord Changsun that he doesn't have to worry about me, Li Yan!"
Just now, Li Lizhi deliberately aroused Li Chengqian's dissatisfaction with him, which made Li Yan unable to understand the truth. Now, when he saw the other party toast, he couldn't help but feel angry, so he also had a thorn in his words. After hearing this, some older princes and princesses around him looked at Princess Changle with some concern, for fear that they would start arguing again.
"Hehe~, my sixth brother is so stingy. Since you don't even take the throne of the Tang Dynasty seriously, why do you hate a little girl like the fifth sister?" Princess Changle is not a vegetarian, so it doesn't matter if it's a disadvantage. Anyway, as a woman, she now uses the scoundrel methods of her little daughter's family and makes Li Xiao speechless.
"Haha~, sixth brother, brother, I'll give you a drink!" Before Li Yan could think of the way to return to Princess Changle, Li Chengqian also came over at this time. However, compared to his previous anger, he now had a smile like a spring breeze on his face, as if he didn't remember the bloody look he was scolded by Li Yan just now.
"Haha~, the sixth brother's ambition is higher than the sky, which really makes Brother Yu feel extremely ashamed. Come on, I will give you a cup!" Like Li Chengqian, Li Tai also threw his anger outside the sky. As long as Li Yan can withdraw from the battle for the throne, he and Li Chengqian will lose one of the most powerful opponents, which is simply a joy from the sky. It is precisely because of this that the kind of anger he suffered before is nothing.
"Haha, it's good that the two brothers know my ambition. I was anxious just now, but I said a lot of things that shouldn't have said. It's so rude. I'll punish myself!" Although Li Yan also had a smile on his face, he sighed secretly. He thought that Li Chengqian and Li Tai would shake the throne after they knew the wonderful things in the outside world, but looking at their current appearance, they were not touched at all. It seems that they were completely covered by the throne and would not turn back without touching them.
After a round of toast, Li Yan was really drunk, but Li Zhen and Li Zhi did not intend to let this sixth brother go, but pulled him to sit among the crowd, asking questions one by one, and the contents of the questions were related to overseas. Of course, some people raised many questions about the earth itself, such as why people on the other side of the earth would not fall down, etc.
Regarding these questions, the half-drunk Li Yan didn't care whether these Tang Dynasty brothers could understand them. He poured out everything he knew and even brought out all the gravity acceleration. It was not until Wen Xin felt sorry for her husband that she begged Princess Wu for help and asked Li Ke to send these brothers and sisters away on behalf of Li Yan.
However, when Li Wei woke up from a hangover the next day, Wen Xin gave him a note with a faint fragrance, with a line of extremely beautiful small words written on it: After three days, I passed by the mansion and told me that my sister was crying and asking for it!
