After all, time has changed and things have become complicated. And it is almost a historical law that one thing becomes complicated.
Although sea trade can still support many people in the future, it is a bit too good to say that it will support the great cause of the Tang Dynasty.
Wei Zheng and others sighed quietly in their hearts, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Although His Majesty Li Er may not be as educated as everyone else, everyone is still convinced that Li Er can take the lead in fighting out of the most severe struggle for survival, and everyone is still convinced of his strategic vision.
, since Li Er feels that this sea trade will gradually become unprofitable and return to ordinary business, then this should really be the case.
Last night, everyone went back to rest. Wei Zheng and others didn't have any good ideas. Although they were ashamed, they had to say goodbye first.
But right now.
Fang Xuanling's eyes suddenly flashed.
He is no different from Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui, two veterans, and he has no idea about the new situation that has emerged in the past year.
But at this moment, Fang Xuanling thought of something else...
A smile couldn't help but appear at the corner of his mouth, and then his face was serious, considerate, and turned to look at Li Er with concern, "Your Majesty has not seen His Highness the First Prince for a while. Although he has been busy recently, he might as well take the Queen and the Queen with him.
Your Highness, let’s have a little gathering.”
Fang Xuanling's voice was like a kind-hearted old man passing by, and there was no hint of any mystery in it.
Li Er looked sad when he heard this, but then he also smiled, "Xuan Ling said the same thing, anyway, these documents... can't be settled in a while, it's better to meet the child."
Today's Chang'an, from Li Er down to the common people, because everyone always has a book written by Li Sheng's Zizhenzhai on their desks, now even the words used in speech are more and more similar to Li Sheng's, and people in the streets and alleys are more and more similar to Li Sheng.
This is true for all the palaces.
…
The Sui Coin Treaty was so beautiful and well-founded that Li Er naturally approved it within minutes.
And just as Chai Shao said in his memorial, Japan... is a troubled and weird place.
Instead of taking possession of them, why not try to plunder them first and take away their resources... Anyway, now that we have legitimate reasons and the ability to exert military pressure, isn't this just a waste of money?
And if we really want to talk about occupying Japan and fully ruling it... First of all, the Japanese country in Japan is not a barbarian tribe in Mobei. It is a large plain with no barriers. Life is a little easier. When the horse is fattened, it will run south to beat the grass and valleys. And Japan is a place like this.
It's different. Unless these idiots can also industrialize, they will have to cross the sea and go to the Tang Dynasty to harvest grass and grain...
This kind of thing is not easy for the Tang Dynasty. You can imagine where the material foundation of Japan comes from... After Li Er figured this out, he completely lost interest in what Chai Shao said about the Japanese character. How does the Japanese character matter?
What's wrong with my Tang Dynasty?
However, after drafting and sending the opinion order to Chai Shao, Li Er remembered what Fang Xuanling said, and couldn't help but sigh quietly, the emperor's job is really a scumbag, and his son can't even see him a few times.
I felt lonely... But anyway, I was afraid that I couldn't find any proper way to solve the sea trade issue at the moment, so after thinking about it for a while, Li Er decided that it would be better to go see his children first.
As Li Er left the court, Babaili Jipiao quickly brought His Majesty's edict to Laizhou. This Jipiao is an institution that directly serves the emperor himself, even though two new steam train lines have been added in the past two years.
Today's Datang still retains its convenience and convenience, as well as... speed, because the top drivers are used, sometimes it is faster than sending messages on the phone.
And just as Li Er was on his way to Hangzhou...
Jipiao quickly arrived in Laizhou and delivered His Majesty's approval to the small number of defenders who stayed in Laizhou, and the defenders immediately drove a small fleet of speedboats to Japan.
Such small speedboats are specially built and are specialized vessels used by the Imperial Army to convey complex messages at sea.
The ability to capture people in the Forbidden Army and equip them with ships to transmit intelligence and information shows that the Tang Dynasty's Forbidden Army was highly regulated and formalized, far beyond the comparison of countless troubled regimes in the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
The edict conveying the emperor's will arrived in Japan just the day after Li Sheng left. When Chai Shao saw the edict, he was instantly overjoyed.
It would be great if Your Majesty could understand the matter of this year's coin treaty.
Chai Shao lived in this place where the army was stationed for a while and it was really nice. When he came, he felt that this place was beautiful and graceful, and after staying for a while, he found that this desolate land was really a geomantic treasure.
Not to mention anything else, in this big bay where the big ship docked, during this period of time, the outer sea was very windy and rough, and as a result...
Even the walls and tents in the camp were damaged. Not even a single ship in the fleet in the bay was damaged.
Such a great place, a perfect port.
Chai Shao couldn't think of any reason not to insist on occupying this place.
After Li Er's edict arrived, in addition to agreeing to Japan's peace treaty and the Suibi Treaty, he also said that he would act cheaply. So after thinking about it for a while, Chai Shao saw that there was a huge rock across the bay and it was an excellent port.
I want to call this place "Yokohama".
But when Li Sheng heard Chai Shao's idea before leaving, he didn't know why...
To Chai Shao's surprise, Li Sheng, who originally had no interest in the expedition, forcefully asked Chai Shao to change the name...
Although Chai Shao didn't know what was going on, Li Sheng insisted on calling this territory "Japanese Jing", so Chai Shao had no choice but to let it go... But although Li Sheng was a prince and a highness, the word "Jing"...
It is somewhat illegal to use it. After all, the Japanese country is not a Japanese dynasty, so how can we use this word?
But Li Sheng's explanation... although confusing, is pretty normal if you think about it carefully.
Li Sheng explained this. Since the leader of the Japanese country calls himself the emperor, he is called the emperor. There is no "King" in the country. Is this appropriate? Of course it is not appropriate.
Naturally, it is impossible for Chai Shao to be convinced by such a magical reason. What is this?
But then Chai Shao continued to ask, and Li Sheng continued with a smile, "Mr. Chai, do you think... all the kings, ministers and people in the world, when they see a guy claiming to be the emperor next door to the Tang Dynasty, can the country still set up a capital in such a big way?
'Cheng. Isn't this bad?"
"No, no, this is very good, Mr. Chai!"
Chai Shao then watched in bewilderment as Li Sheng left the "Japanese capital" city after finishing his labor...
In the days that followed, my brain was racing like crazy, thinking about it countless times... but I still couldn't understand the logic behind Li Sheng's words.
Although Li Sheng wanted to say that... let alone saying that this guy was a prince, based on his apparent rank, this guy was also a prince and was still higher than himself, so he had no choice but to obey.
