Chapter 708: Li Er's Ambition

"Next year, after the ice and snow melt, I plan to send troops to the sea to develop these gold mines, I wonder if you kid has any suggestions?"

The gold mine has been in hand, and if it has been placed overseas, it will always make it difficult for him to sleep, and it is more secure to put this thing by his side.

Li Er laid out the map he sorted out and spread it out directly, then stretched out his hand and pointed to the location of the marked gold mine, and said with a solemn face.

Zhao Yin had already expected this, such a huge wealth, Li Er would never let it go, the reason why he has not acted is just that it is not suitable to go to sea at this time!

"Yes, Your Majesty can completely divide the round-the-world voyage into three teams, each responsible for their own tasks, one around the world, one for mining, and one to support Wei Guogong!"

He doesn't have any opinion on when to develop a gold mine, it's a matter of time before it can be carried out under the pretext of circumnavigating the world.

"Yes, I think so too, the reason why I called you kid here is to let you plan the route, these gold mines are very important to my Datang, and there must be no mistakes!"

Li Er's expression was unusually solemn, which was a rare expression that Zhao Yin had seen after getting to know him.

"It's easy!"

Zhao Yin nodded, but couldn't help but scorn in his heart.

Bullshit's mistake, this old guy is clearly worried that his little vault can't expand!

"I don't know how much gold and silver can be mined from these veins!"

Speaking of this, Li Er's excited expression could no longer be concealed.

If these gold mines continue to deliver wealth to himself, he will inevitably become the richest man in Datang.

"This can't be budgeted for the time being, but when the time comes, Your Majesty can ask Dai Shangshu, after all, he is responsible for collecting taxes, and the more you pay, the more Your Majesty will gain, you don't need to ask me about this!"

Seeing Li Er's stunned expression, Zhao Yin couldn't help but disgust him.

With this old man's character, taking his money is undoubtedly equivalent to cutting his flesh.

Sure enough, after hearing Zhao Yin's words, Li Er's expression suddenly seemed to have eaten a dead fly, and his heart instantly felt like 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping by!

As the weather gradually got colder, everyone was too lazy to go out, and Zhao Yin enjoyed a few days of quiet, but just yesterday, Li Er specially ordered him to go to the court.

Although he was too lazy to move, he had to go, after all, he was his father-in-law, and it was not good to refute his face in public.

Calculate the time, it's been a few months since the last time I went to court, right?

Of course, when he appeared in the court, everyone inevitably speculated, not knowing what big news would appear in the court this time.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

As Wang De's sharp voice came, everyone closed their mouths.

After Li Erduan sat on the dragon chair, he first glanced at Zhao Yin's position, and then nodded with satisfaction.

"This morning, I am going to discuss with Zhongqing about attacking Tianzhu!"

Only the eldest grandson Wuji and Zhao Yin knew about this matter before, but now that Li Er finally made up his mind, he openly discussed it in the court.

"Your Majesty, Tianzhu is a civilized country, if you want to attack it, I'm afraid the price will not be small!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Tianzhu is too far away from the Tang Dynasty, and we don't know much about it, so why don't we discuss it later?"

"The old minister seconded ......!"

……

However, as soon as Li Er opened his mouth to say a word, he was immediately scolded back by the group of imperial historians.

Now they have easily stopped talking, but they really can't sit idly by and ignore this matter!

"Do other Aiqing see it that way?"

Hearing these words, Li Er's brows couldn't help but twist into a ball.

"Judging from the old ministers, these imperial histories are simply farting!"

Cheng Yanjin took the lead and arched his hand towards Li Er.

"You're ......!"

Hearing someone insult themselves like this, the noses of those old Yushi in the Yushitai were almost crooked.

"What is Lu Guogong's opinion?"

Obviously, Li Er was very satisfied with Cheng Biting Jin's approach, completely ignoring those old imperial histories, and asked directly.

"My Datang is now at the peak of its national strength, and it is equipped with weapons such as cannons, ground buds, machine guns, etc., not to mention a Tianzhu, even if it is to sweep the world, it is not impossible!"

Cheng Yanjin stalked his neck in the direction of Yushi, with a provocative expression.

"Having said that, after all, it is a war, and it is certain that the people will lose their money!"

The old imperial history was not to be outdone.

"With Datang's current national strength, the most important thing is money!"

At this moment, Dai Xuan suddenly stood up.

Don't look at him, he has always been slamming the door, but he is not stingy with the money that should be spent.

"Haha...... Good! In this case, can Dai Aiqing prepare 300,000 troops of grain and grass next spring? ”

Li Er laughed heartily when he heard this, and secretly sighed in his heart, it is good to have money, you can beat whoever you want, and you don't have to worry about food and grass anymore.

"Your Majesty, just Tianzhu, you don't need so many troops at all!"

Hearing this, Cheng Yanjin looked confused.

Your Majesty also knows that Datang now has many thermal weapons, and it is not a problem to attack a Tianzhu, why should he send so many troops?

"Yes, Your Majesty, if you send an old minister to the battle, you only need to lead 100,000 troops!"

Wei Chigong stepped out of the column of generals and took the initiative to ask for help.

"Hey ......! I said you're a shameless old bastard, and you're still ...... prying? ”

Cheng Yanjin looked at him with disdain, arched his hand towards Li Er, and continued: "Your Majesty, the old minister only needs 50,000 soldiers and horses to sweep Tianzhu away!" ”

"30,000 old ministers are enough!"

"20,000 old ministers are fine!"

Wei Chigong and Cheng Yanjin suddenly quarreled, and they were not to be outdone.

The countries around Datang have been almost wiped out, if you don't cherish this opportunity, I'm afraid there will be fewer and fewer opportunities to make war exploits in the future!

"Alright......! Don't make any noise, the reason why I want to send an army of 300,000 is that I am ready to sweep away all the barbarians in the south at once! ”

Before he understood his intentions, he quarreled with each other, and Li had a headache.

"What......?"

As soon as these words came out, those old imperial histories were even more shocked.

They already disagreed with sending troops to destroy Tianzhu, and now they are ready to sweep away the southern countries at once?

It's a fantasy!

"With Datang's current national strength, Your Majesty's move is indeed feasible!"

Zhao Yin, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

In fact, when Li Er said that he wanted to sweep the south, he was really taken aback.

But then when I thought about Li Er's indifferent character, I was relieved!

From ancient times to the present, every emperor has a dream of dominating the world.

Now that the Tang Dynasty is strong, Li Er should be planning to implement his dream!

Moreover, the population has been gradually increasing in the past two years, and the transfer of 300,000 troops should not be a big problem.

"Uh......!"

Seeing that the horse had already spoken, the old imperial historians who were originally going to refute Li Er, and even planned to impeach him, suddenly wilted.

This kid has done so many incredible things in the past few years.

They don't want to be bored, so they all keep their mouths shut!
