"Furthermore, has your Majesty ever thought that as long as the prince captures Tubo, there will be no strong country around the Tang Dynasty, so there will be no major wars.
Suddenly, our Tang Dynasty built dozens of giant steel ships, looking for a sea general, and led the fleet to cruise overseas. Within a few years, the rich resources on all continents in the sea will be continuously available.
Bring me the Tang Dynasty!
Then, during this period, Your Majesty can organize those aristocratic families to build several more concrete roads from Chang'an City directly to our Tang Dynasty's western and northern territories, the East China Sea, and the South China Sea.
In this way, our country, the Tang Dynasty, will truly be the supreme kingdom of heaven, and all the surrounding vassal states and overseas continents can support our country."
After speaking, Li Xuan looked at Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, by then, you still don't have the confidence to build the Tang Dynasty into a prosperous age?"
"this……"
At this moment, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others could not help but widen their eyes, breathe rapidly, and look flushed.
"Xuanba, can the scene of the prosperous age really appear during my reign?"
Seeing this, a trace of satisfaction flashed in Li Xuan's eyes.
"It depends on whether Your Majesty has the ambition to fly as a dragon!"
"I always thought that what Xuan Ba did was for his own enjoyment. I didn't expect that Xuan Ba would have such a grand plan. I would like to thank Xuan Ba for this!"
Li Shimin thought of something, stood up with a solemn expression, and saluted Li Xuan.
"Your Majesty has misunderstood!"
Li Xuan's face froze and he said quickly: "I do all these things for my own enjoyment!"
"Didn't Xuanba plan the cement roads and steel ships for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty?"
Li Shimin was startled and asked in surprise.
"Your Majesty, there is no difference between the two!"
Li Xuan chuckled, and then slowly explained to Li Shimin's somewhat puzzled look: "Your Majesty, only when the Tang Dynasty becomes stronger and the people become rich, can I, the Jin King of the Tang Dynasty, feel at ease.
Enjoy all kinds of luxurious life!”
"Especially those giant steel ships. Only I, the Tang Dynasty, conquered all the overseas continents and brought gold, silver, jewelry, rare animals, and all kinds of delicacies and crops from all overseas continents to me, the Tang Dynasty.
Only King Jin can enjoy all kinds of good things from overseas continents with peace of mind!"
Hearing this, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others couldn't help but be stunned.
Although I always felt that something was wrong with Li Xuan's words, I couldn't find a reason to refute it.
They have never seen anyone say these words so righteously!
"In this case, Xuanba can serve as the shepherd of Yongzhou and govern the entire Yongzhou land?"
After thinking for a while, Li Shimin said slowly, "Since Yuan Jing went to Goguryeo, no one can serve as the shepherd of Yongzhou!"
"No!"
Li Xuan shook his head repeatedly.
"Why?" Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, I hate evil so much that I can't see those officials and aristocratic families oppressing the people! If I were made the shepherd of Yongzhou, I'm afraid that within a month, I would lead my soldiers and kill those corrupt officials and aristocratic families.
They were all chopped to pieces!"
Li Xuan said bitterly.
After hearing this, Li Shimin's face froze and he never mentioned the matter again.
Although Yongzhou is a place in the capital, there are even more powerful officials and aristocratic families.
Correspondingly, things that oppress the people often happen.
If Li Xuan were allowed to become the shepherd of Yongzhou, the entire Gyeonggi area would really be filled with blood!
The Tang Dynasty may also be in chaos!
"Okay, Your Majesty should organize those aristocratic families to build cement roads and steel giant ships. As long as I, the Tang Dynasty, become rich, many things will be easily solved!"
Li Xuan smiled slightly and said slowly.
Li Shimin nodded subconsciously.
Um?
Suddenly, after coming back to his senses, he looked at Li Xuan in a daze. Was he trying to chase people away?
"Your Majesty, do you have any more questions?"
Li Xuan said with some doubts.
"..."
Li Shimin took a long breath. He was already sure that Li Xuan was really chasing him this time.
However, Li Shimin was filled with excitement when he thought of the prosperous future of the Tang Dynasty that Li Xuan had described to him.
"I want to go back early to discuss the future of our Tang Dynasty with all the ministers, and then return to the palace first!"
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
Li Xuan sent Li Shimin out of the courtyard with a happy face all the way.
At this time, all the farmers, servants, and guards in the village had already finished their hot pot.
Everyone was wandering around the village with happy faces.
Li Xuan called Li Chang to his side and told Li Chang that a group of chefs would come to Lijiazhuang tomorrow to learn about hot pot, and then went back to prepare to wash up.
Although hot pot tastes very delicious, the smell that sticks to your body after eating it is very uncomfortable.
…
"King!"
It was just getting dark when Li Chang came to see Li Xuan again.
"What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, eating hot pot in the village today seems to have attracted some wild beasts from the mountains!"
Li Chang said, "The twenty puppies in the village have been irritable and restless. Moreover, the pigs, chickens and ducks in the village are also very restless in the pen!"
"If that's the case, then there should be wild animals that have entered the hills near the village!"
Li Xuan nodded slightly, "Let the villagers, villagers and personal guards put on armor, get muskets, arrow bombs, steel knives and other weapons, and prepare to hunt beasts at night!"
"In the cold winter, the wild beasts in the mountains lack food and often run down the mountain. In addition, it snowed heavily yesterday and the whole village was eating hot pot today. It must have attracted all the wild beasts from the nearby mountains!"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, they are just a bunch of wild beasts in the mountains. As many as they come to our Li family village, we can keep them and become meat for the village!" Li Chang said.
"It's natural!"
Li Xuandao: "Tell the farmers to cheer up and start catching meat tonight!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Li Chang responded and walked out.
Soon, the entire village became lively.
In every household, all men over the age of sixteen wear the strongest clothes and hold long spears and steel knives. A group of personal guards are dressed in armor, two hundred armed with muskets, and two hundred with arrows and bombs.
They are also holding steel knives. As for the remaining five hundred people, they are steel swords.
There were nearly 2,000 people, and 500 were divided to guard the glass greenhouse.
As for the remaining 1,500 people, they came to the pig pens, chicken pens, and duck pens to guard them.
When wild beasts come out of the mountains, they must be heading towards these chickens, ducks and hogs.
Moreover, there are still a lot of bombs buried in many mountains. It is difficult to see the roads in the dark. The villagers in Lijiazhuang generally do not enter the mountains easily.
"May I ask, Your Majesty, what happened? But there are thieves coming to attack?"
Just when Li Xuan, Li Chang and others were guarding the door of the chicken, duck and pig pen, more than fifty scholars, including Qiu Shuye and Cen Xugang, all ran over with nervous expressions on their faces.
"It's not a thief, it's a wild beast in the mountains!"
Li Xuan replied casually.
"The beast of the mountain?"
Hearing this, Qiu Shuye, Cen Xugang and other scholars could not help but change their expressions slightly.
