Li Yuanxing himself didn't know how long he had lived in South America.
No one here will remind you what day it is.
Moreover, there are no spring, summer, autumn and winter here in Central America. In short, it is just one season, and it is so hot every day.
After another batch of materials, manpower, and a whole shipload of copper coins arrived, what surprised Li Yuanxing was that Wang Jishan actually came.
"Mr. Wang, have you seen that there is gold everywhere here?" Li Yuanxing smiled and greeted him.
Who would have thought that Wang Jishan had no intention of joking with Li Yuanxing at all. He looked serious, neither shaking his head nor nodding.
After entering Li Yuanxing's study, Wang Jishancai said: "Something happened, not big or small, and the Holy One is in a bit of trouble. This time it's not just the Holy One who's in trouble, but also various families and generals!"
Only then did Li Yuanxing feel that something had really happened, and asked Wang Jishan to sit down first.
"Mr. Wang, judging from the current situation in Datang, I really can't think of what kind of trouble it might cause?"
"The first thing is that the civil strife in Tuyuhun has been going on for three full months." Wang Jishan had read this information countless times on the way here. He could come in person, but others couldn't leave. Li Jing had already arrived in Heshan in person.
Prefecture, and even Li Yuanxing's Yu Lin and Huben were transferred.
Li Yuanxing was puzzled: "Isn't the civil strife in Tuyuhun a good thing for me and the Tang Dynasty?"
"The second thing is the civil strife in the Western Turks! It has been going on for four months."
"The civil strife in the Western Turks, didn't the Security Department of the Tang Empire have already been safe?" Li Yuanxing said in his heart, this is a good thing, why do people still worry about it?
Wang Jishan ignored Li Yuanxing and continued: "The third thing is that Tufan sent a special envoy to Chang'an. He claimed that he was willing to form an alliance with the Tang Dynasty and came to make peace."
"Go to hell with the marriage!" Li Yuanxing cursed.
"The fourth thing is that the caravans from Chang'an to the Western Regions can't even get out of Yumen Pass. The situation there is still unclear. Three caravans have lost contact inexplicably. The Western Turks say they don't know. Tuyuhun doesn't know.
, the Tufan people don’t know either.”
It felt a little weird, and this time Li Yuanxing didn't ask any more questions at all.
"The fifth thing is that the giant cannibal has appeared in Nanyang and has some conflicts with us."
"The sixth thing is that the Imperial Security Department of the Great Eaters has learned some information, that is, the land is cut off. Several caravans of the Great Eaters have also disappeared, so Nanyang is very important to them, and they want to share it in the port.
Then he came directly to our Tang Dynasty, but he was unwilling to trade with the Tang Dynasty merchants in Nanyang. This is the cause of the conflict!"
Seeing Li Yuanxing's silence, Wang Jishan didn't ask any more questions.
He believed that with the wisdom of King Qin Li Yuanxing, it was impossible not to figure out the connection between these events.
Li Yuanxing sat there without saying a word. Soon after a pile of cigarette butts appeared on the ground, Li Yuanxing asked: "How much was the damage to the trade route?"
"Every month, more than 4 million yuan in tax revenue." Wang Jishan said in a low voice.
This data was calculated by Tianyingge after several days of calculation and combined with previous taxes.
Li Yuanxing sighed: "This means that Datang loses more than 15 million yuan every month. Is this number worth killing?"
Fifteen million strings! How did you calculate that? Wang Jishan really didn’t understand.
"The tax is a piece, but the profit of the merchants is a piece. Without merchants, a large amount of goods will impact the original domestic market of Datang, as well as our newly developed Nanyang market. Then, the people of the caravan, and the entire industrial chain
People who have no money to earn will spend less, and other consumption in Chang'an will also decrease. This loss of 15 million guan is an underestimation, I say 30 million guan is not much!"
"What do you think, Your Highness?"
"Is it worth a dozen?" Li Yuanxing asked.
"It's not easy to fight. The Ministry of War has already conducted a detailed deduction. We will be involved in the quagmire after this battle. The expenditure of the expedition is too great, not to mention that the Western Turks are unstable. Sending troops there will only make those
The border is even more chaotic. Should we fight the Western Turks? What if it becomes a big melee?"
Wang Jishan's explanation was also the result of discussions among the dignitaries of Chang'an.
Seeing that Li Yuanxing did not answer immediately, Wang Jishan added: "In addition, people from the Security Department of the Tang Empire suspect that Tufan is doing something wrong. We are now attacking Tufan, which is a cursed place that all the soldiers know."
Before Li Yuanxing could speak, Wang Jishan said again: "General Cheng proposed to use flying boats to directly blow up the capital of Tufan. But this plan is unknown!"
"How about Mr. Wang staying here?" Li Yuanxing did not mention the trouble Chang'an encountered, but asked another question.
"Of course I will serve the Tang Dynasty with my life!" Wang Jishan did not refuse.
Li Yuanxing went to the bookshelf and took out a map, then opened it on the table: "Let me talk about two important things first, the two troops I trained. This must last for at least half a year, and the food given to him must not be bad. Then we will send him again one after another.
Ten thousand Tang soldiers and Inca troops trained together."
"Your Highness, food is absolutely guaranteed!"
"The first unit is the Marine Corps. This unit can be used as a supplement to the Tang Dynasty troops. The other unit is very important. It will be absolutely indispensable in the future battle with Tufan. They can easily defeat Tufan because
Their living environment is close to that of the Tufan people, and with the cooperation of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, they can take down Tufan in one fell swoop."
After listening to Li Yuanxing's instructions, Wang Jishan nodded.
"Then these thirty-five large and small seaports must be built. They don't need shipyards, but they need ship repair shops. But there is no need to build them all. Everyone has their own interests. Whoever wants to build them can build them.
. Steel plants and cement plants are also absolutely indispensable, and opening the Panama Canal is very important. Then there must be a plan for Port 46 in the east. These also require a meeting with each company."
Wang Jishan wrote them down one by one.
There are no fiefdoms in North America, but there are many cooperation ports. How to cooperate and how to build them. These things will be discussed in more detail.
"The rest..."
Li Yuanxing explained one by one that South America was actually a big chess game, and Li Yuanxing revealed everything this time.
At the end, Li Yuanxing sighed: "I am ready to return to Chang'an."
"With Your Highness in Chang'an, these problems will definitely be completely solved!" Wang Jishan said very seriously, and then said to Li Yuanxing: "Your Highness has returned to Chang'an, please come to express your gratitude to Your Majesty. In this land of America, I cannot support you alone. Please
Send some more capable officials as soon as possible."
"Okay, America will be happy."
Li Yuanxing said he was leaving, but he left immediately. He asked him to pack his bags and set sail early the next morning. All three Qin princesses stayed behind. Li Yuanxing did not give a reason, and the three princesses seemed to have no intention of following. Cui Yanyan, on the other hand, found one.
The excuse was that she was pregnant again, so she might not be able to bear it for a month on the ship.
Li Yuanxing comforted him and said that after returning to Chang'an, he would immediately send more people to serve Cui Yanyan.
The ship set off. Li Yuanxing excused himself as a little tired and entered his cabin without anyone coming to disturb him.
"Your reaction makes me feel a little weird?" Li Lanshan asked directly and clearly.
Wu Zhao sat cross-legged on the bed: "Li Yuanxing has to go back."
Li Yuanxing also said: "That's right. On the surface, I am anxious to go back because of those urgent matters. But in my eyes, those things are not a problem at all and can be solved at any time. I am anxious to go back because of the powerful people of the Tang Dynasty.
, Prince, the family wants to cut the cake in America in a hurry."
"They seem to no longer want to hide their desire for the fiefdom." Li Lanshan muttered.
Li Yuanxing added: "Another reason is that the Tang Dynasty has made preparations for a global strategy. They hope that I can return to Chang'an to preside over all this, instead of just staying in a small America!"
"It seems that they have already seen the benefits of this."
Wu Zhao said at this time: "Another point is that you have been outside for too long. Our great Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will not be worried."
"Nonsense!" Li Yuanxing laughed and cursed.
"Li Yuanxing, please ask yourself this question. As long as it has a population, it can become a powerful territory in just a few years, and it has very powerful weapons. It is a very strategically minded person with clever means.
Man, can you safely let him live on the other side of the earth for a few years?"
Wu Zhao's cold voice made Li Yuanxing feel a little unhappy.
Li Lanshan wanted to persuade, but Wu Zhao stopped Li Lanshan: "Believe me, I'm not talking nonsense. I'm talking about the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, not our imperial brother."
Emperor of the Tang Dynasty? Emperor’s brother?
Between the two...
Li Yuanxing understood instantly that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty represented a political power and a top ruler. This ruler was like a chef who would distribute the food in the pot to many people. The people who divided the food were the top leaders.
The ruler. In other words, this represents the imperial power.
Emperor of the Tang Dynasty means imperial power.
And the imperial brother only refers to Li Er.
One person and a group of people. Li Yuanxing understood. Wu Zhao was reminding himself that imperial power itself was a circle of interests. Li Er believed in himself, and it is not certain that the future emperor would also believe in him. An uncontrolled, extremely powerful, and extremely powerful person.
Highly powerful people, even I can't believe it.
Suddenly, Li Yuanxing felt a sad feeling in his heart.
"What are you thinking about? Why are we here? Do we really want to stay in the Tang Dynasty forever?" Li Lanshan interrupted the conversation between Wu Zhao and Li Yuanxing with a smile.
Li Yuanxing shook his head gently: "Lanshan, remember, you once said that my princess's eyes were empty. They didn't look at me with much intimacy. I have tried very hard to care for them."
"You really know how to tell jokes!" Li Lanshan's tone also changed.
