The place in Changnan Town is simply the most unique place for porcelain making.

Since then, this place has been changed to Jingdezhen, so prosperous, since ancient times, most of the world's porcelain, so that countless unscrupulous merchants, even if the porcelain is produced in other places, also need to send these porcelains to Jingdezhen, pretending that this is produced in Jingdezhen.

In addition, there is a wharf here, connecting the Changjiang River, the Changjiang River is a tributary of the Poyang Lake water system, from this Changjiang wharf, you can directly enter the Poyang Lake by boat, and then enter the Yangtze River, the Yangtze River is connected with the canal, through the countless water systems in the south of the Yangtze River, you can send a boatload of porcelain to the north and south of the river.

At this time, Li Shimin's hand rubbed on this porcelain vase, and he couldn't help but praise: "This porcelain is really like jade grease, it is really rare, this is really an ordinary firing?" No other cost? ”

"Naturally, the kilns and craftsmen used are ordinary craftsmen." Chen Zhengtai said honestly: "And to a certain extent, the quality of the porcelain clay there is extremely high, and it is easy to get a billet tire. ”

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and couldn't help but say: "In this way, can it make a big profit?" ”

Li Chengqian on the side was silly.

Chen Zhengtai coughed and said: "Money is not money, but secondly, the most important thing is that large-scale production of porcelain, and such a beautiful porcelain, on the one hand, can supply the needs of the people, in addition, there is only afraid that countless manpower is needed, and now many places have begun to promote new grain, especially potatoes, grain production is bound to double in the future, so that the world will have a lot of surplus labor." Your Majesty? What if there is no discrepancy in labor? Will you become a homeless? If it can't be placed, it's a big problem. Recruit a large number of people to make porcelain? These porcelain? Countless manpower to transport? Enhancement of water transport? And it needs to be maintained by many people. Besides? Can the imperial court use this to levy large taxes? Future...... Waiting for the sea to be shipped up? Can you also use these porcelain? Directly transported to sea by sea vessel? Now Shuofang is also trying its best to open up the Western Regions, and what he is doing is to rebuild the original Silk Road. When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince learned of this, he was gladly willing to cooperate with his sons, so that was it. ”

Li Shimin said in his heart, isn't it for money?

It's just that what Chen Zhengtai said is crazy, but I don't know how much profit can be generated, if it is not discounted, it is a real profit.

In addition, this guy actually only cooperates with the prince, why does he have to go far? Why don't you just come and find me?

Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a little depressed, glanced at the elated Li Chengqian, and there was a little disgust in the depths of his eyes.

But...... Li Shimin still nodded his head, with an approving look: "It's so good, it's just shipping?" ”

Chen Zhengtai continued: "I don't know how many specialties in the world, if the specialties can be exchanged, you can prosper, and if you have benefits, all industries will prosper." It's just that...... Today, the most difficult thing is not to produce goods, but to transport them. This is also the reason why Shuofang wants to build wooden rails, and after the wooden rails are built, my Datang can use this to control the grassland. Use interests to drive the military and civilian people into the desert, so that they can spread out in the desert, and then use interests to bind the Hu people, if they are not satisfied, they will be requisitioned, but if they are obedient, they can be included in the Shuofang trade system, only in this way, the rule can be long. If we only rely on the imperial court to continuously spend countless money and grain and send countless soldiers into the desert, although our Tang Dynasty soldiers are elite and dare to fight, but once the imperial court's money and food are insufficient, the imperial court will lose control of the desert, so that in this grassland, such a powerful power as the Xiongnu and Turks will be born. ”

Li Shimin seemed to agree with this point, and kept bowing his head: "Well, I now know the benefits of wooden rails. ”

Chen Zhengtai continued: "It's just Your Majesty...... The real cheap thing in this world is shipping, which transports my Chinese treasures overseas, which can be described as a million profits! The Tang Dynasty has a sea route, once it is successful, it is the real dynasty of all countries, and the world is one. ”

Li Shimin has no concept of the so-called ocean, and to some extent, any ruler of the Central Plains is often more interested in land!

As for the overseas, you can't plant land, you can't live in people, what's the use of asking for it?

It's just Chen Zhengtai's suggestion, but Li Shimin still needs to consider it carefully, so he smiled and said: "What is rare overseas? ”

Chen Zhengtai said: "Erchen looked through the ancient books, and they all said that in this overseas place, there are several vast fertile lands like the Central Plains, with an area of thousands of miles, and the land is fertile, not under the Central Plains. There are a large number of rare treasures overseas, and if they can be taken, they can strengthen the muscles and bones of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Land ......" Li Shimin's eyes flashed with a fine light, and then he looked at Chen Zhengtai without saying a word.

"What's more." Chen Zhengtai continued: "If Haimao can allow the royal family to occupy a large number of shares, and even the new overseas land opened up by my Datang in the future will be owned by the royal family, then ...... The Tang Dynasty royal family, I am afraid that the value will be doubled by ten or a hundred times, even if His Majesty does not occupy a penny of the treasury, it is enough to have an inexhaustible internal fund. ”

"Really?" Li Shimin's eyes widened, and he cheered up.

Ownerless land, untold riches.

This made Li Shimin couldn't help but be moved.

Chen Zhengtai has never said nonsense, and if he says that there is, then nine times out of ten there may be. For this guy to be knowledgeable, Li Shimin has some knowledge.

Li Shimin immediately thought of something again, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's just that I'm a Tang Water Master, and now I'm not as good as Goguryeo and Baekje Water Masters." Last time, the defeat of Lou Shide's Yangzhou sailor had already shaken the imperial court. Now that Lou Shide is leading the fleet to sea again, he is suspected of having different intentions, although this ocean has great benefits, but it is just ...... But it's not the right time, as long as Goguryeo and Baekje sailors are still there, my Datang rashly goes to sea, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Speaking of this, Li Shimin has a little regret.

That's a nice thing to say, but how can it be so easy?

After all, if you want to get something, you have to have strength!

Mentioning this, Chen Zhengtai said: "Erchen dares to vouch for Lou Shide, this person is definitely not a disloyal and unrighteous person, there must be a secret behind this." ”

Li Shimin looked regretful, but said: "When the Yangzhou Assassin and Huainan Inspector come to Chang'an, I will be able to distinguish right from wrong." ”

Li Shimin said, but said: "These days, Guanyin's health is not good, I have not thought about tea and rice in my heart, I have accepted your porcelain bottle, and I will pick up some good porcelain in the future and send it to the palace." ”

Chen Zhengtai responded, knowing that Li Shimin was in a hurry to go back to the harem, so he and Li Chengqian went out of the Taiji Palace together.

Li Chengqian has nothing to do recently, after all, he is the prince, on the surface he is the prince, in fact, if he does something, it will inevitably make people think that this prince wants to cook more than the cook, but if he doesn't do something, people will say that you are not as good as a gentleman!

This is really the same as the little daughter-in-law in the ordinary person's family, everything is wrong.

Now, he has become a young man, without the spiritual stimulation in history, the whole person seems to be a lot calmer, it can be seen that Chen Zhengtai still has a little youthfulness.

At this time, he patted Chen Zhengtai on the shoulder and said: "Senior brother, since my sister-in-law is pregnant, it is rare to see you on weekdays, look at you, a good man, how can you be with women all day long." ”

Chen Zhengtai gave him a blank look: "Do you want to talk to Her Royal Highness the princess?" ”

Li Chengqian immediately shook his head: "Don't say it, I'm a little afraid of that girl now, she is pregnant with a child, if she has a fetal gas, she will become a sinner through the ages." Okay, okay, find a day, Lone and you drink. Oh, and that Lou Shideok, this man has defected to Baekje and Goguryeo, and he is a great rebel, and you always protect him from what he does, but I heard that his sin is confirmed. ”

It can be seen that once a person can't speak, or after death has no proof, how terrible it is under the gold of these people, even Li Chengqian is not immune from the influence of outsiders.

Li Chengqian is his brother, and he doesn't have many city governments, so he said these things to himself, Chen Zhengtai thought to himself, I am afraid that not only Li Chengqian, but also His Majesty and the hundred officials in the court, think the same way, just because he tried his best to speak for Lou Shide, everyone did not say it in front of him.

Chen Zhengtai sighed in his heart, and couldn't help but feel a little weak, and he didn't know what happened to Lou Shide, if he died overseas, he was afraid that this case would never be overturned.

Chen Zhengtai was depressed, and he was no longer in the mood to continue talking with Li Chengqian, so he said goodbye to Li Chengqian and went home.

………………

Two months later......

Sanhui Haikou place, because of the intersection of the north and south canals, and it is the mouth of the sea, so this place gradually began to liven up.

In later generations, it was set up as Tianjin Wei, and at this time, but only because of the geographical convenience, gradually began to settle here, this place is the jurisdiction of Wuqing County, because it is becoming more and more prosperous, gradually, the flow of people and liveliness here, is not under Wuqing County.

Relying on the sea mouth, there are a lot of small docks, there are occasionally some small sea boats in and out of the dock, all of them are nearby sea people, Datang has no sea ban, but this sea area, gathered a lot of fishermen, they hit a lot of fish and shrimp in the sea, and then sent to the market to sell, but most of the sea people are hard, one by one does not look like a human shape, and is discriminated against. They did not dare to go further afield to fish, because occasionally they might encounter Goguryeo or Baekje ships.

Since the defeat of Emperor Yang of Sui in the sea conquest of Goguryeo, the Sui and Tang courts almost lost control of the sea routes, and because of the capture of a large number of craftsmen and ships of the Sui Dynasty, the Goguryeo and Baekje people gradually formed an expansion trend on the sea, and they even occupied some islands in the open sea as a base for supplies, half soldiers and half bandits.

It's just that at this time, Zhang Ye, the commander of Wuqing County, was yelled at by the stumbling officer.

It's noon, Zhang Ye needs to take a nap as usual, and suddenly he was awakened in a dream, and he was naturally annoyed!

But the officer shouted, "Oh no, no, there are many ships from the open sea, and there are mountains of ......."

Zhang Ye, who originally wanted to blame the errand officer, heard the words of the errand officer, and his heart suddenly chuckled, and his face turned a little whiter.

This...... Goguryeo or Baekje?

If so, it's going to be worse.

Wuqing is just a small county, if it is really attacked, how can it resist?

Could it be the Baekje people, or the Goguryeo people?

In fact...... Zhang Ye was the commander of Wuqing County, and he knew some of the situation, when the world was in turmoil, Goguryeo and Baekje people took advantage of the fire to rob.

It is impossible for them to send troops to attack by land, after all, they are far away from the Central Plains, and they send troops, and the losses are amazing. Thus...... However, they sent fleets to loot along the coast of the Central Plains, and often made great profits.

When Wuqing County was in Wude for four years, it suffered a catastrophe, killing thousands of people and losing countless money and food.

Of course...... At the time of the rise of the heroes, this was nothing, except for the county records of these things, these thousands of lives, but they have long been forgotten.

Zhang Ye did not hesitate any longer, and immediately ordered: "Quickly, summon the messengers, and in addition, send someone to deliver the news to the state, come here, and follow the old man." ”

Zhang Ye has experienced troubled times, he has had experience in the army in the past, and he has made some small contributions, but the credit is not worth mentioning, so he gave a Wuqing county order with high mountains and rivers.

He was old at this time, and he was already pot-bellied, but he still had some courage in his heart, so he clumsily rode on the horse, gathered some people, and said, "Follow this official to Sanhui Haikou." ”

Along the way, Zhang Ye was anxious, and he didn't know if these thieves had landed, he would never be able to retreat, once he ran away, the entire Wuqing County was afraid of suffering, but the other party came prepared, and sent a big ship, which must be inevitable.

If you can't do it, you can only die here.

In his mind, his parents, wives and children flashed by in an instant, and the more this happened, the more sad his heart became.

But when I arrived at Sanhui Haikou, I saw that many big ships had already entered the harbor, and on the sails on the huge ship, the number was displayed...... Yangzhou Waterway School Captain Lou.

Yangzhou ...... Captain of the Waterways......

Zhang Ye squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, the others were still on the horse, and when he saw those words, he almost fell off the horse.

Is it from Yangzhou?

When I looked at it carefully, I saw that there were many huge ships, all of which were full of holes...... On the big ship, however, many landing boats had been put down, and there were people on the boats, and the boats were washed up on the beach with the tide.

Then, dozens of men were fully armed and went to the beach with a bit of vigilance.

They looked around, as if trying to find someone on the beach, but apparently the people on the beach had already run away.

Zhang Ye couldn't help but be suspicious in his heart, but he went up and down, gritted his teeth, and shouted in his mouth: "Come with me, be careful, beware of fraud!" ”

After that, he immediately rushed forward with people Pegasus.

saw the people on the beach, all of them unkempt, all of them looked yellow and thin, but the armor on their bodies was obviously the standard of the Tang Dynasty.

When this Zhang Ye approached, there was a hoarse voice on the other side: "Who is Er, I am Lou Shide, the captain of Yangzhou, and I am leading the fleet to land here." ”

Lou Shide......

Yangzhou Lieutenant ......

Zhang Ye suddenly felt that the name was somewhat familiar.

If he is not mistaken, there seems to be a record of this person in the news newspaper sent by Chang'an Kuaima.

Of course, Zhang Ye is just a small county magistrate, but he didn't pay too much attention to this public case, he only had some simple impressions.

At this time, he subconsciously said: "Lou Shide, aren't you the opposite?" ”

Lou Shide smiled and said: "Who said that I was reversed, if I was fucking reversed, how could I capture the king of Baekje to ......?"

Zhang Ye: "......"
