Gu Tianya listened to his repeated words, that eagerness was not a disguise at all, obviously Li Jiancheng was genuinely worried about himself, and he was not angry because he said that he wanted to be the emperor.

This made Gu Tianya very moved.

But at the same time, he was a little ridiculous.

He comforted Li Jiancheng for a long time before he calmed Li Jiancheng's mood, and at this time he didn't dare to pretend to be profound, so he had to directly say the plan in his heart, and said: "Big brother, being an emperor doesn't have to rebel." ”

As he spoke, he searched around, picked up a dead branch by the bush, drew a circle on the ground with the dead branch, and said to Li Jiancheng: "Big brother, look, this is the Tang Dynasty......"

After finishing speaking, he drew a few more circles outside the circle, and then said, "Big brother, look again, where are these?" ”

Li Jiancheng's face was solemn, and he leaned down and pondered.

He used to be the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and he was proficient in the affairs of the world, so even if Gu Tianya just painted at random, Li Jiancheng could still see the terrain pattern from the direction of several circles, and couldn't help but say: "To the north of the Tang Dynasty, there is a vast grassland, and in the northwest, there is the Liang State. Among them, Tuyuhun is the strongest, and the territory area can even catch up with the Tang Dynasty. ”

Gu Tianya smiled, pointed to a few circles in the west and said: "Whether it is the Liang Kingdom or the Western Regions, the terrain is too remote, and the climate is not conducive to farming, so I am not interested, and I am ready to leave these two places to the Tang Dynasty." ”

Li Jiancheng was stunned for a moment, and then scolded with a smile: "Your tone is not small, can you stay in these two places?" Although the Liang State was disabled by the Tang Dynasty, there was a Turkic support behind it, so just a Liang State had to let the entire Tang Dynasty use the power of the whole country to fight. Not to mention the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions, Tuyuhun is not the power of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Gu Tianya didn't argue with him, and continued to point to the circle on the ground and said: "The Liang Kingdom and the Western Regions are left to the Tang Dynasty for exclusive enjoyment, and when the conquest is in hand in the future, you can follow the example of the Han Dynasty to set up the capital protectorate, and then reopen the Silk Road, which can ensure the wealth of the Tang Dynasty for a hundred years." As for a hundred years later, it depends on whether the descendants of the Li family can continue to control the Western Regions. ”

He paused as he spoke, and then said: "To the north of the Tang Dynasty is a vast grassland, and the breadth of this territory is almost equivalent to the three Tang Dynasty, but half of the territory of this place is not suitable for farming, so I am not very interested, maybe I will share it with your Li family." I want those places that are suitable for farming, and your Li family shares those places for raising horses and grazing. After all, Datang owns the Central Plains, and it is not too short of arable land, so this distribution method is very happy, and presumably the people of the Li family will not disagree. ”

Li Jiancheng laughed and couldn't help but say: "The grassland belongs to the Turks, and it is the biggest force in the whole world today. Even if you gather the strength of the entire Tang Dynasty, you don't dare to say that you will compete with the Turks, you are good, and now you will start distributing their land. ”

Gu Tianya laughed, noncommittal, he continued to carve with a branch in his hand, then looked at Li Jiancheng with a leisurely face, and asked with a smile: "Big brother, take a look again, where are these two circles." ”

Li Jiancheng's face became solemn, staring at the two circles and frowning, and after a long time, he said cautiously: "One is the northeast outside the Guanwai, and the other is the world enemy Liaodong." These two places, these two places ......"

He slowly raised his head, his eyes were full of worry, and he couldn't help but say, "Brother-in-law, I advise you to dispel your thoughts." These two places will drag you to death for the rest of your life. For example, in the northeast outside the Guanwai, thousands of miles of fields and dense forests are deep, and human traces are extremely rare, which belongs to barren land. Even if such a place is occupied by you, it will make you poor for a lifetime, and even if you take care of your family for generations, it will only be a waste in the end. Don't shake your head, the eldest brother is speaking sincerely. Think about it, why hasn't there been a dynasty to visit this place for thousands of years? If there is a profit in this place, who is willing to leave a large piece of land without development......"

"The second place you painted is Liaodong, and this area is even more untouchable. It's not that the eldest brother looks down on you, but Liaodong is not as good as other places, when Emperor Yang of Sui went on three expeditions to the east, half of the million-strong army died, which of course had the family dragging its feet, but the reason was that Liaodong was extremely strong. ”

"A people who grew up in this region belonged to the kind of stubborn temperament of donkeys. They are very willing to accept death and are unwilling to obey the governance of outsiders all their lives, so even if the Liaodong royal family is poor and luxurious, once outsiders go to attack, those people will still fight for the country with their strength to the death. Do you know what that means? This means that if you break into that area, you'll be confronted with all the soldiers. ”

"There are only 200,000 soldiers under Xiuning's command, and it is definitely not enough to see all the soldiers in the entire Liaodong, even if our Li family is willing to give you all soldiers, but it will not be very effective. The entire three countries of Liaodong, even the Sui Dynasty at its peak, were dragged to death by them. Our Datang has just started, and it is far from reaching the original national strength of the Great Sui. ”

Li Jiancheng is worthy of being the former prince, and his words definitely have the height of the world, but Gu Tianya only listened, and did not show the intention of being persuaded by him.

Li Jiancheng was obviously more worried, and couldn't help but say: "You quickly dispel this idea, eldest brother can go and talk to the family, now that your father is still alive, Erlang has never seen you, our Li family will give you a king with a different surname, so that your Gu family can rest with the country for hundreds of years, this kind of blessing is not small, it is far better than you going to Liaodong to die." ”

Gu Tianya was very moved and gave Li Jiancheng a salute, but he still shook his head.

At this time, the rising sun had risen, and the vast golden light scattered the earth, Gu Tianya stood beside the ditch with his hands in his hands, and said leisurely: "Big brother, I want to be the emperor." ”

The tone was flat, but it was so resolute.

He looked at the northeast direction, as if he wanted to look beyond the white mountains and black waters, and after a long time, he said: "That place, I must go to Gu Tianya." ”

Li Jiancheng was anxious and angry, and said suddenly: "I will never agree with you to go to death." I won't even watch my sister die with you. ”

It's a pity that Gu Tianya didn't argue, and seemed unwilling to continue this topic

He suddenly turned his head to look at the south, and said with a smile: "This time the tiger baby full moon baptism, the second brother came with a hundred civil and military officials, I asked Cheng Chumo and others as guides, leading them to look at the people's livelihood in Hebei Province. So, does Big Brother know what I'm doing this for? ”

Li Jiancheng was stunned, as if he couldn't keep up with his jumping turns, but what a character Li Jiancheng was, he quickly heard the charm from these words, and said in a deep voice: "You are tempting them." ”

Gu Tianya nodded, and said with some emotion: "Zhaoning is arrogant and unwilling to take advantage of the interests of his mother's family. She once told me that what she had before she got married belonged to her mother's family. Therefore, even if Hebei Province is painstakingly managed by me, our husband and wife are still willing to return this territory to Datang. Because, my wife is not willing to take advantage of her mother's family. In the same way, I don't want to take advantage of my wife's mother's family. ”

Li Jiancheng hesitated for a long time, and said loudly: "Even if Hebei Province wants to return it to the Li family, but you already have Yunzhou in your hands, when the Liang State fought before, we deliberately avoided Yunzhou and let the women's army capture it, this is to let you and Xiuning have a place to live, which can be used as a place for her to eat and drink after she gets married." This place does not need to be returned to the Tang Dynasty, it belongs to the wealth of your Gu family for generations. ”

Gu Tianya slowly exhaled a breath and said softly: "The land of ditches is not suitable for fishing. ”

This is clearly an answer to what Li Jiancheng just said.

Li Jiancheng hesitated for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Then there is Danzhou, and this area will also be given to you." Although the eldest brother and I have become the hidden prince of the Tang Dynasty, as long as I live, I can speak in the family, as long as I take a stand, both my father and Erlang will agree. And the tiger baby is the Duke of Danzhou who was sealed by his father, which is meant to give the land of a state to his little grandson for food and clothing. The eldest brother took this reward one step further, and let the Li family give Danzhou to your Gu family for generations to pass on, how about it, this is always enough. ”

I have to say that Li Jiancheng really has a heart for the Gu family.

After all, he is the eldest brother of the Li family's royal family, but now he is willing to give the Gu family two states. Among them, Yunzhou was captured from the Liang State, and it can be claimed to the outside world that it was the income of the Gu family's expansion of territory. However, Danzhou has belonged to Hebei Province since ancient times, and such a place was given to the Gu family purely to divide the ancient land of the Tang Dynasty.

If the Li family really agreed to Li Jiancheng's proposal, then it would definitely be regarded as a real dig for the Gu family.

The land of the two states, especially Yunzhou, can already establish a small country, which can fully satisfy Gu Tianya's desire to be the emperor.

You must know that Yunzhou is the land of the northwest, and the land of one state is almost equivalent to the three states of the Central Plains, so if you calculate it roughly, the Gu family almost has four states, even if the descendants continue to do so, it is enough to ensure food and clothing for two or three hundred years.

Li Jiancheng made such a big sincerity, obviously he was sincerely thinking about Gu Tianya.

But Gu Tianya never spit out, and obviously never dispelled his thoughts.

But he was very moved in his heart after all, so he didn't want to argue with Li Jiancheng, the loyal eldest brother.

He suddenly picked up the fishing rod from the ground, and then picked up Li Jiancheng's fishing rod, and said with a smile: "Big brother, it's time for us to have lunch." ”

Li Jiancheng sighed.

He knew he hadn't been able to convince the brother-in-law.

But seeing Gu Tianya suddenly look south, he seemed to have something else to say: "According to the time calculation, the second brother and they have already walked halfway, and they must have been extremely satisfied with watching the livelihood of Hebei Province along the way." I didn't prepare anything, but they can definitely see something, so maybe a lot of people are already greedy......"

"Since I'm greedy, I'll wonder why I'm able to do those things. Hebei Province is a place of long-term war, but it took me less than a year to lay the foundation for Hebei Province to become prosperous and take off. Those people pay attention to profits, and after seeing Hebei Province, they must have some desires, so they can't help but want to show favor to me. ”

"And these are the help that supports me to have the confidence to build my own country."
