After Wei Zheng finished speaking, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others couldn't help but be startled. Their eyes were blank for a moment, and then their gazes became deep.
yes.
What is going on, exactly.
Of course, they all know this Australian legend. A good minister must be knowledgeable and memorized, and must be able to understand the needs of most people and what they are thinking - of course, this also includes the collection of these gossips. And the collection
Wang Jing and others who heard these gossips couldn't help but be very surprised.
After all, this is just a piece of gossip. This "Australia" thing is completely illusory.
As for how this news got out.
Suddenly remembering this point, the original source of this gossip, Fang Xuanling and others couldn't help but be startled. Fang Xuanling himself couldn't help but asked in surprise, "Could this be true in Australia?"
After Fang Xuanling finished speaking, he immediately turned around and looked at the others in shock, and then found that the others were also looking at him.
If this scene happened to Wu Xing, Wu Wang and others, in this circle, there is a high probability that the next step will be fast forward to a stage where everyone is helpless and crazy.
But this was the Manna Hall, and Fang Xuanling found that in the eyes of others, in addition to finding that others were in the same mood as himself, there was also a hint of surprise and suspicion about the matter itself.
Suddenly, everyone thought that there might be some secret here. This news might not just be a rumor, but there might be a big secret hidden in it.
Of course, there is no basis for thinking this way.
This is conjecture.
But even though it is conjecture, why did the kings of Southeast Asia really take action? Recruiting the best sailors, buying the best ships, and organizing a sea voyage cost a lot of money. Even for the Tang Dynasty, spending so much money to organize a
The fleet going out to sea also has to suffer heartache, after all,
Even in the Tang Dynasty, the budget in the treasury did not fall from the sky. Even if it fell from the sky - it would not fall every day. As long as you are a person, you will like money and care about money.
It is not difficult to imagine that the kings of Southeast Diao are not fools or idiots. How could they suddenly be so willing to spend money? This is obviously wrong. Thinking of this, the faces of several ministers became unsightly, and they always felt
where is the problem,
The question is, if Australia really exists, wouldn't it be preempted by the unruly people like Southeast Asia?
Where is the power of the Tang Dynasty!
Once they thought of this, all the ministers could not sit still for a moment, and even Wei Zheng, who had always been mature and prudent, had a dark look on his face.
Obviously, an unknown overseas land was not occupied by China first. This is simply unbelievable, just like a joke.
If something like this really happened, then what would become of the brothers and ministers present? What use would they have?
It’s simply boiling!
Therefore, Wei Zheng and others immediately became nervous. If this happened, in fact, everything would be fine, but if this happened, it would be very troublesome.
In any case, it is a large overseas territory. Even if it falls into the hands of a foreign race, it still falls into the hands of the southeastern people. Does this make sense? This is not unreasonable. This is simply a crime worthy of death.
Can't accept it!
Anyway, Wei Zheng and others couldn't accept it, and for a while they were almost in a state of panic.
Li Er's face was also livid. If Australia really existed and was occupied by people from Southeast Asia, then...
As an emperor, of course he does not have to worry about his fate like the ministers under his command, but as a shareholder, he still has to worry about it, and it should be said that he needs to worry even more. After all, the Tang Dynasty is his own family and not others.
The world of family.
However, it is impossible to be sure whether this is true or not, and whether Australia really exists. Similarly, it is also impossible to be certain that those people from Southeast Bay are heading towards Australia.
In other words, if Datang really does something about this, it will have to spend a lot of money after all.
From Li Er's point of view, he definitely couldn't spend money indiscriminately - absolutely not.
If it really comes to nothing, burning a lot of money is only one aspect. The key point is that this Australian legend has existed in China for a long time.
Don't look at it. Nowadays, no one cares about this folk tale. But if the court really wants to make some moves, people all over the world will promise to start talking about it again immediately.
And people all over the world started chatting, and this matter became more and more troublesome. If the fleet failed and failed to find Australia, those sea areas are so far away, maybe the ship would not be able to come back. And the imperial navy's ships and naval forces went to sea and actually came back.
If you don’t come, what will the people think? The damage to people’s hearts will be severe.
But even so, even though there was such a reason, after thinking about it repeatedly, Li Er finally shook his head.
"We can't think like this. Just because the people of the Tang Dynasty are very popular, we can't worry about failure and undermining people's support."
Li Er suddenly spoke.
Wei Zheng and others were stunned after hearing this.
"The Tang Dynasty is what it is today because of fighting regardless of success or failure, not because of winning battles. Although the Tang Dynasty did win the world because of winning, winning the world is different from winning the hearts and minds of the people."
Li Er's face suddenly became extremely serious, "The Tang Dynasty conquered the world because it marched forward bravely. We relied on us to lead by example and risked our lives to be the first in the world, not because of our wisdom and strength."
Li Er suddenly said this, and the rest of the people were stunned.
Then, all the ministers bowed their heads in silence, especially Wei Zheng, who was the leader, and began to think hard.
After a while.
Wei Zheng suddenly raised his head, with a look of determination on his face, "In my opinion, this matter must be done. If we fail to do this, we will only be criticized by the people for a while."
"But if a piece of territory is lost out of thin air due to fear of failure, it would be fine if it does not cause a catastrophe. If the opponents of the Tang Dynasty regard it as the land of dragon prosperity, it will continue to grow bigger in the future."
"Thousands of years later, our children and grandchildren will really look down on us. This is an act of disgrace to our ancestors!"
After Wei Zheng finished speaking, several other ministers immediately took a deep breath.
Although what Li Er and Wei Zheng said were righteous,
For ordinary people, belonging is the most insignificant thing - but as ministers in the court, they really have to understand this matter.
If Qian doesn't understand, then as civil servants of the imperial court, they may be competent, but as "that group of people" that the people look up to, they are completely unworthy.
After being told by Li Er and Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and others immediately thought of the essence and origin of the matter. This was really the case.
