Datang's current national strength is a monopoly, far exceeding that of all countries on this planet, even if all the forces are united, it is definitely not the opponent of the Datang Empire.

This not only enhances the self-confidence of the people of Datang, but also makes it easy for advanced technology to leak out, because one family is dominant, so there is no need for the support of allies, and there is no need to sell advanced technology in order to arm allies.

In later generations, the West rose first, and in modern times, it developed very rapidly, leaving all the countries in the rest of the region behind, but because there is not only one rising country, no Western power has an overwhelming advantage, that is to say, a few Western countries, as long as they join forces, they can defeat the most awesome one.

In this case, in order to protect their own interests, they not only have to desperately develop more advanced weapons, but also have to win over their allies and let them share part of the pressure for themselves.

The stronger the combat effectiveness of the allies, the stronger the national strength, and the better it will be for themselves, so it is necessary to sell their own advanced weapons to these ally countries, and even transfer some of the technology, so that these ally countries can produce them themselves, so as to form a relatively powerful country.

In addition, in order to earn more money and further develop more advanced weapons in order to maintain their own advantages, the Western powers even do not hesitate to sell the most advanced weapons to backward agricultural countries, after all, if you refuse to buy them, the neighboring Western powers will have to take action, so that the business will be robbed by others, and moreover, by selling advanced weapons, you can also win over the other party, so as to increase your own allies, after all, even if you make a lot of money, you will not do it with your enemies.

And because many Western powers compete with each other, no matter how advanced weapons are, they cannot have too high profits, which makes many agricultural countries take advantage of them.

There is no such situation in the current Tang Empire, because the Tang Empire is a monopoly and has no competitors, so even at a price of 100 times or 10,000 times, it can sell its own high-tech items, such as glass, which is not worth much at all, and Li An sells it at a profit of more than 100 times.

The rest of the small countries do not have the ability to develop their own glass, and they don't even know how Datang's glass is made, so they will not have doubts about the ultra-high price of glass, and the sales volume is leveraged.

As for the automobile industry under the imperial court, the situation is the same, if it is not sold for dozens of times the price, how can it be worthy of this unique and unique business.

Moreover, the automobile industry still needs to continue to develop, R & D funds are a huge number, not sold a little more expensive, how to quickly accumulate huge funds, how to better develop more advanced cars.

Li An remembered that Huaxia in later generations used to be because he sold an important weapon that others did not dare to sell to the local tyrant country, and reaped dozens of times the super profit, if it was to sell ordinary weapons, it was absolutely impossible to have such a high profit, this is a monopoly, although other big countries also have it, but they are unwilling to sell, so Huaxia is equivalent to doing a unique business, asking for dozens of times the profit, that is also a matter of course, anyway, the local tyrants have money, so they don't care about these?

The only thing that the local tyrant does not lack is money, so it is the easiest to earn the money of the local tyrant, as long as it is a good thing that can reflect the identity of the local tyrant, the local tyrant will buy it at a high price, and he doesn't care whether he is slaughtered a hundred times or a thousand times, this is the personality of the local tyrant, is he capricious if he has money?

And along the way, there are many small countries, the kings of each small country, and the ministers under their command can be called local tyrants, so many local tyrants, can completely consume Datang's high-tech products, and, with the progress of the Belt and Road, the development of these small countries will also accelerate to a certain extent, so that the local tyrants of these small countries will become richer, and can buy more Datang high-tech products, step by step transfusion Datang, so that Datang will always be invincible.

Of course, as the Datang Empire masters advanced technology step by step, some relatively backward but high-demand industries will also move into these countries appropriately, after all, let Datang produce, this pressure is too great.

In the case that high-tech products can create hundreds or thousands of times more profits, why sacrifice the environment and mass produce steel and other products that are not highly profitable.

These products can be produced by all small countries, but the technology is backward and the output is extremely limited, but they can indeed produce them, so if you sell them at a very high price, they will not buy them, and they are not stupid.

However, some high value-added ironware, as well as processed products, such as stainless steel products, can still be sold, the price can be slightly higher, but it will not reach a hundred times the profit.

In view of this situation, it is appropriate to sell iron-smelting equipment at a high price to iron ore resources, so that these small countries can produce steel faster and better, and when they run out, they can import it into the Tang Dynasty, and then, the Tang Empire can use the cheap steel purchased to manufacture advanced industrial products, sell them at a higher price, and use scissors to earn money from small countries.

In addition to directly selling iron smelting and other equipment that is not advanced to small countries, you can also let Datang businessmen buy these equipment, and bring them into small countries, and mine iron ore resources in these small countries, so that it is better than buying equipment directly, because these equipment are still in the hands of Datang people.

In fact, even if the small countries know some manufacturing skills, it is useless, because the ultra-high cost of research and development is not something that they can afford without a foundation.

In short, because of the advantages of advanced science and technology, the Tang Empire will always be invincible, and the gap with the rest of the countries will be widened, and the people's living standards will be higher and higher, but the premise is that as long as the empire does not have major turmoil, otherwise, once the advanced Tang Empire is divided from the inside, there will be competition between each other, so that many advanced technologies will flow to other countries, and the advantages of the Tang Dynasty will be gone.

Therefore, the Tang Empire needs to guard against the inside, not the outside, as long as the internal chaos is not moving, the external forces will do nothing, since ancient times, the strong countries are dying from within, and only the weak countries will die from the outside, and those who can defeat the Tang Empire are destined to only have the Tang Empire itself.

Luo Yueguo's palace is not far away, it didn't take long to arrive outside the gate of the palace, looking at the palace that is not magnificent, Li An sighed the gap between the small country and the Tang Dynasty, the palace in front of him can only be regarded as an ordinary minister's building in the Tang Dynasty at most, but here is where the lord of a country lives.

Although the buildings are generally low and lack the grandeur they should have, the size of the palace is not bad, and it should be very comfortable to live in!

"Your Royal Highness, this is your palace! It still looks good. ”

Of course, Ang Lee will not belittle the palace, this is the most basic courtesy.

"Compared with the palace of the Tang Dynasty, it must be far worse."

King Luo Yue replied.

Li An stepped out of the car, relaxed his waist, and was about to enter the palace to play, but when he saw that the king of Luo Yue was still sitting in the car, he didn't seem to want to get out of the car, as if he hadn't enjoyed enough.

"Your Highness, it's time to get out of the car."

Ang Lee opened his mouth to remind.

King Luo Yue hurriedly got out of the car, smiled awkwardly, and invited Li An into his palace.

I have to say that the environment of the palace is still very good, the main road inside is paved very smoothly, the path is made of smooth stones, as for the greening is better, the tropical rainforest climate is the most suitable for plant growth, the plants used in greening are naturally the best, and it looks very pleasing to the eye.

"The building is not high, but the environment is very elegant!"

Ang Lee praised with a smile.

"Haha! Li Shilang is polite, please come inside. ”

King Luo Yue invited.

At this point, the food is ready, and as long as everyone is ready, the table can be opened at any time.

Of course, in addition to eating, there are also singing and dancing performances, which are indispensable, and it is interesting to adjust the atmosphere.

The scale of the banquet is not large, only more than 30 people, more than a dozen people in Datang, and more than a dozen people in Luo Yueguo, however, the meal is still very rich, at least enough to eat three times, the taste of the wine is very familiar, it is a relatively strong Datang wine, needless to say, it must be sold by merchants from Datang.

Among the food, there are also many delicacies that Datang entered, such as canned fruits and the like, but more than eighty percent are Luo Yueguo's own specialty delicacies.

Eating the food of the Tang Dynasty, Ang Lee had a feeling of going home, and Luo Yueguo's specialty food was an eye-opener for Ang Lee.

This inconspicuous small country can invent so many strange delicacies, and it is easy to understand the general fruits and sea fish, but they actually eat some disgusting animals, which makes Li Ang somewhat unacceptable.

For example, fried rats, steamed spiders, and happy insects eaten alive, these guys Ang Lee was sick to his stomach when he saw them, where did he still have the courage to deliver them to his mouth.

"Is this really something to eat?"

Li An asked with a frown when he saw General Luo put a big spider in his mouth.

Luo Jianjun said with a smile: "It's delicious, it's very delicious, eating spiders and drinking Datang's wine, it's very delicious." ”

The subordinates who were walking with Ang Li just smiled and nodded, and none of them dared to use chopsticks to eat spiders.

It is said that the first person to eat crabs is the hero, but in front of him is a big spider that makes people disgusting when they see it, who can eat it?

However, Ang Lee felt that since it was delicious, it would be a pity not to eat it, since he came here, why not eat it?

Seeing that everyone in Luo Yueguo didn't react when they ate it, Li An had the courage to pick up a larger spider, and tasted it like Luo Yueguo's people.

"Yes, it tastes really good, it's delicious."

After eating the spider, Li An felt that the taste was really good, and understood why the people of Luo Yue liked to eat this strange food, just like later generations Huaxia also liked to eat fried grasshoppers and fried maggots, which is the reason for agreeing.

As soon as they heard that it was a delicacy, the rest of the Tang officials also followed the example of Luo Yue's people and began to taste it.

Li Ang tasted all the special delicacies of Luo Yue Kingdom, and the taste was good, maybe because it was the first time I ate it, but it did taste good.

The singing and dancing are also good, and they are full of exotic atmosphere, especially the young women, who only have a few leaves hanging on their bodies, and look very energetic.

"Your Royal Highness, this song and dance is very good, the little ladies dance very well, but why are they wearing leaves!"

Ang Lee asked with a smile.

The king of Luo Yue replied: "Li Shilang, this is the tradition of our Luo Yue country, the ancestors of the past had no clothes, so they could only cover their bodies with leaves, and later although they had clothes, the traditional customs were retained, they are now wearing leaves woven of silk, not real leaves, these silks are still produced in the Tang Dynasty?" ”

"Oh, it's still made of silk, and it looks like a leaf! Could it be that I'm dazzled, come here. ”

Li Ang said with a smile and let a young lady look at it.

"Li Shilang called you, don't go over quickly."

King Luo Yue ordered.

The little girl walked over gently, looking a little shy, after all, she was too young, and she was estimated to be thirteen or fourteen years old, and her development was still a little incomplete, and she was completely a young little Lori.

"Little Lori, come here, sit on Uncle's lap."

Li An grinned and demanded.

This young little Lori, although she didn't understand Ang Lee's words, she could also understand what Ang Lee meant, and walked in front of Ang Lee shyly and snuggled in Ang Lee's arms.

Seeing that Xiao Lori was so obedient, Li An was very happy, and hurriedly hugged Xiao Lori and hugged her on his lap, he is a messenger of a great power, and he has this presumptuous capital.

"Little Lori is so beautiful! Come, let the uncle see, yo, this dress is really silk, it is really realistic, it really looks like a leaf. ”

Li An reached out and touched the silk leaves on Little Lori's chest, and sighed.

Under the silk leaves, there is naturally a soft object that Ying Ying grasps, and Li An naturally will not miss such a good opportunity within his reach, and he gently pinched it a few times, which feels very good.

"Little Lori, how old is this year?"

Li An asked softly.

"Twelve years old."

Little Lori replied shyly.

"Twelve, good! It's the age when the buds are ready to be released.,Uncle likes little Lori at this age the most.,Come,Have a drink.。 ”

Ang Lee picked up a glass of wine and let Lori drink it.

"It doesn't taste good."

Little Lori refused.

Ang Li is a very gentleman, so naturally he won't force little Lori, and said with a smile: "It's okay if you don't drink, Uncle won't leave tonight, can you accompany me." ”

"This ......"

Little Lori looked a little skeptical.

Li An looked sideways at the king of Luo Yueguo, and asked: "His Royal Highness the King, this little Lori, this official likes it very much. ”

When the king of Luo Yue heard this, he hurriedly said: "Since Li Shilang likes it, then give it to Li Shilang." ”
