"They have no money, but the Japanese country still has so much territory and so many people!"
Li Xuan chuckled and said slowly.
Suddenly, everyone opened their mouths again.
Looking at Li Xuan, his face was full of weirdness.
My husband is really far-sighted!
Is this King of Jin so sinister?
Let an entire country make money for you?
Just thinking about this kind of thing makes everyone feel very excited!
Moreover, there is no resistance to Li Xuan's operation!
In the hearts of the people of the Tang Dynasty, all vassal states were barbarians and there was no need to treat them as human beings!
Along the way, we passed Tsushima Island, Baekje, and then turned in. After drifting on the sea for more than a month, we finally saw Datang and Qingzhou Harbor.
The Tang Dynasty envoy went to sea and returned within less than four months.
The governor of Qingzhou and a group of officials rushed to the harbor to greet him.
Li Xuan ignored all these and threw them all to Gao Biaoren. He took the people back to his residence in Qingzhou and fell asleep. He slept for two days and ate vegetables for two days.
Then, he started to leave for Chang'an.
Along the way, there was a mighty journey, this time there were hundreds of large carriages, galloping towards Chang'an.
In the past two days in Qingzhou, Lord Soga Ezo, Shu Ming and others owed Li Xuan thousands of dollars. In these two days, these Japanese hozens finally knew what enjoyment is? What is eating?
!
In addition, since Li Xuan did not speak in Qingzhou, Gao Biaoren did not dare to make the decision without permission and reveal to the outside world the affairs of the Japanese leader and a group of important ministers.
Therefore, everyone only regarded the Japanese brought by the King of Jin as the Japanese envoys to the Tang Dynasty.
As for reporting to Li Shimin?
Although Gao Biaoren is an official envoy, there is still a King Jin of the Tang Dynasty and a prince of the Tang Dynasty here, so it is not his turn to report.
As for Li Xuan and Li Chengqian, they were both forgotten.
Therefore, only a memorial from the Tang Dynasty envoy returning from Japan was delivered to Liangyi Hall.
…
Ten days later.
Taiji Palace, inside Liangyi Hall.
Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Li Xiaogong, Cheng Chusi and others were all sitting on the sofa, each holding a glass of white wine and drinking happily.
Li Xuan is not in the village, but Lijiazhuang brews so much liquor every day.
Therefore, under the pressure and stalking of several unscrupulous old thieves, the old housekeeper Li Chang could only deliver more than a hundred bottles of liquor to the palace every month.
"Hiss... comfortable! Your Majesty, how many bombs have been produced in the weapons prison now? Lao Cheng has been waiting for two months. If there are enough bombs, I can capture Goguryeo this year!"
"Your Majesty, it is not impossible to capture all the three kingdoms of Goguryeo, Baekje, and even Silla!"
Cheng Zhijie and Li Xiaogong were replaced by Li Shimin.
There is no need for a prince or a duke to spend time in cave city and stone city.
Even deep in the hearts of Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji, there was still some hope that those Goguryeo people would suddenly go crazy and take over the cave city and stone city again.
The Tang Dynasty really had the opportunity to send troops.
"Your Majesty, more than 20,000 bombs have been built so far!"
On the side, facing Li Shimin's inquiry, Du Ruhui said quickly.
"Twenty thousand?"
Cheng Zhijie looked happy.
"Your Majesty, 20,000 bombs, 20,000 hand-thrown bombs, and 20,000 arrow bombs. With so many bombs and an army of 20,000, I can take down Tuyuhun. Or Baekje and Goguryeo can also try
Give it a try!”
On the side, Li Chongyi, Hou Junji and others also looked eager to try.
Now, after the generals of the Tang Dynasty saw the power of bombs, who would not want to take them out and bomb those disobedient barbarian countries one by one.
Hearing this, Du Ruhui's face became anxious, "Don't worry, Lord Su, we have built a total of 20,000!"
"What?"
"Du Xiang, why are there only 20,000? After such a long time, the boys in the Ordnance Supervision have become lazy, haven't they? Or, if any boy dares to cause trouble, I, Old Cheng, will break his legs right now!"
In an instant, Cheng Chusi, Li Xiaogong and others' eyes widened and they were filled with anger.
"Keming, why are you so slow?" Li Shimin also looked puzzled.
"Your Majesty, you don't know that we in the Tang Dynasty don't have much steel. In order to build the huge ship for Prince Jin's palace and the bombs that Prince Jin carried when he went to sea, all the steel accumulated in the prison has been consumed.
clean.
Now, we can only make iron and steel while making bombs. In two months, we have made 20,000 bombs, and we have already tried our best to compress other ordnance!"
Du Ruhui said with a sad look on his face.
"Why don't you send people to mine and make iron and steel?"
Cheng Zhijie stared directly and shouted anxiously.
“Seriously understaffed!”
Du Ruhui's hands were paralyzed and he said helplessly.
This is not really a matter of a lack of weapons supervision, but rather a lack of supply of smelting steel and insufficient manpower for labor.
"We need to make iron and steel, but we also need to forge cement, make sand, stones, and burn glass. We even need to forge steel ships... After all, no matter how many people there are, it's not enough!
Although I have tried my best to mobilize those Turkic barbarians in these hard labor jobs, it is still not enough!"
Hearing this, Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and others all sighed helplessly.
Half a moment.
Cheng Zhijie's expression turned grim.
"Don't worry, Lao Du. I'll force those little brats this year. Next year, Old Man Tang will transport all the grain from Linyi to the Empress of the Tang Dynasty. I will take my Tang brats to defeat Goguryeo.
Those hozens from Goguryeo were all captured to mine ore and make steel for you!"
"Old man..."
Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling couldn't help but laugh and curse, but didn't say much.
However, subconscious planning has already begun in my mind.
If Goguryeo were really conquered, hundreds of thousands of Goguryeo young men, plus the food from Linyi, might not only be able to smelt iron in the Tang Dynasty, but also directly make steel in Goguryeo.
"His Majesty!"
At this time, Li Wei walked in from the outside with a happy face.
"What's the matter?" Li Shimin asked.
"Your Majesty, the King of Jin and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are back." Li Wei hurriedly reported.
"What, you're back so soon?"
Li Shimin was startled and asked directly: "Where is he now?"
"It's still twenty miles away from Chang'an," Li Wei said.
"Twenty miles?"
Hearing this, Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others all stood up subconsciously.
"Let's go out and take a look!"
"Haha, Your Majesty is wise. It just so happens that these past two days have been so idle that your hair is almost growing..."
Cheng Zhijie, Fang Xuanling and others also said.
As for what to watch?
Everyone sees it!
It has only been four months and His Highness King Jin is back!
Everyone knew that something must have happened!
Moreover, those bastard things in their home are also among them.
Soon, everyone got on the carriage and walked outside the palace.
However, a few people had just left the palace and heard reports from the guards before they reached the city gate.
His Royal Highness Prince Jin returned directly to Lijiazhuang with dozens of carriages.
Then, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the envoy and others, led dozens of carriages and walked towards the city.
"Xuanba's temperament..."
Li Shimin looked helpless.
Regarding this, Cheng Zhijie, Fang Xuanling and others also pretended not to hear anything.
"Let's go back to the palace!"
So, Li Shimin and others returned to the palace.
Just sat down.
Another guard reported.
Li Baoding, Li Chongyi, Cheng Chusi and other boys also took several large carriages to their respective houses!
