Xiao Wanyu walked over and hugged Li Lan from Takahashi Jiumiko's arms and asked, "Jiumeizi, if you have anything unhappy, just say it." ”

Takahashi Kumiko wiped her tears and said: "The second sister's Tuyuhun, the third sister's Xue Yantuo, and the fifth sister's Great Food Country are all so rich and stable, but my father and brother are still fighting hard, and not long ago my brother was injured, and the prince just looked at it, but he wanted to go to the mountains and rivers by himself."

The concubine also knew that the prince had worked hard all these years, but the concubine was worried about her father and brother, woo......"

In the second half of last year, the Kyushu State launched an attack on the Japanese slave country with the help of the Tang Dynasty Navy, but due to insufficient preparation and the desperate resistance of the Japanese slave country, little progress was made, and Takahashi Taro was also wounded by an arrow, so he had to retreat to Kyushu Island.

Kumiko Takahashi is a strong woman, but she has a husband with a fork, and the nature of a woman's dependence is naturally released. When she cried, the pear blossoms brought rain and made people lovely.

Xiao Wanyu, as the eldest sister, felt sorry for Li You, but she wanted a bowl of water, so she said: "Brother You, if you don't take a vacation, let's talk about it slowly, let's help Jiumeizi first, Li Lan is the king of the Dongying Islands, and now his name is not worthy of it." He is also your son, and you have to take care of his affairs. ”

Murong Ling, Ashina Qing and Rena were all in a better situation than Takahashi Kumiko, and when they heard Xiao Wanyu say this, they were not far behind, and they all showed their sympathy and persuaded Li You to solve the matter of helping Takahashi Kumiko solve the matter of the Japanese slave kingdom first.

The Dongei Islands are a problem that must be solved, and the reasons for this will be known to future generations.

However, this ethnic group in the Dongying Islands is very evil, and they have great merits - good at learning, hard work, and relative unity. And there is a strong wolf nature in the character, they will be obedient in the face of the strong, and then learn from the strong, once they think they can fight the strong, they will show their fangs and try to tear the strong apart.

The Tang Dynasty was powerful, and the people of the Dongying Islands learned from the Tang Dynasty almost completely in all aspects of politics, economy, military and culture, and even copied the entire Luoyang in the past. In the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese became a great disaster for the Han nation. At the end of the eighteenth century, when they were defeated by the Western powers, they began to **** again, and in the end they made the Western powers suffer again.

However, in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty, the Dongying Islands were just a small land, and the Japanese slaves were also uncivilized barbarians, no one cared about them, and no one cared about them.

Li You is different, he must solve this problem while he is alive, otherwise, no one wants to worry about this problem, and this scourge will still leave a disaster to the descendants of the Han nation in the future.

Thinking of this, Li You said to Takahashi Kumiko: "Okay, I'll go to Kyushu Island for vacation." ”

Kumiko Takahashi was so excited that she knelt on the ground to thank Li You according to the etiquette of Kyushu Island.

The princesses persuaded Li You to solve the problem of Takahashi Jiumiko, but in fact, they were just talking about it to show their high wind and bright festival, they didn't expect Li You to really agree to go to Kyushu Island. They were not reconciled and asked to go with them.

Li You smiled: "I agree with any of you who want to go, but the bumps on the sea are not pleasant." ”

The princesses all heard the magpie talk about the situation at sea, and they were all a little daunted, so they all retreated.

Lee Woo has made a decision, and the next step is how to convince the ministers.

Li You's prestige is extremely high, and everyone will not object to the questions he raised, but the current national policy of the Tang Dynasty is to help the people to be quiet, and to do a good job in internal construction. Li You asked Li Ke to fight Zhenla, and here he wanted to go east to conquer the Japanese slave country, which was obviously inconsistent with the current national policy of the Tang Dynasty. He still has to find a good reason to convince everyone.

East Palace.

Li You reported his thoughts to Li Chengqian, and Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Fifth brother, you are working hard, where are you going to take a vacation, purely to find guilt." Let's start with that, I didn't let you go. Ha ha. ”

Li You didn't tell Li Chengqian the real reason why he wanted to fight the Japanese slave country, he just said that Li Chengqian would not believe it. Because in Li Chengqian's mind, the Japanese slave country was dispensable, and he did not take the affairs of the Dongying Islands seriously at all.

Li You told him about other reasons. As far as border affairs are concerned, Li Chengqian is not familiar with it, and he is too lazy to use this brain. He said: "Didn't you say that you wanted Li Ke to go to fight Zhenla? It just so happens that you will talk about the reasons for these two things together in the court. ”

Li You was recognized by Li Chengqian, so he went to find the eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Li Jing and others, and talked to them in advance.

Early Dynasty, Taiji Palace.

As long as Li You is in the last dynasty, there will definitely be important things, so at the beginning of the early dynasty, everyone waited for him to speak first.

Li You said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the Lingnan King Li Ke gave the copy to His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister read it carefully and thought it was very reasonable, and the minister suggested that Lingnan Dao send troops to Zhenla Country. ”

After Li You finished speaking, some of the ministers did not think so, they wanted to oppose it, but they were a little afraid of Li You's prestige and did not dare to express their opinions. The vast majority of ministers trusted Li You, so they did not speak out.

Wei Zheng came out and said, "His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest, this matter is in doubt. The imperial court has just promulgated the national policy of helping the people to be quiet, so why should they start a war again? ”

Gao Jingming also stood up and said: "Yes, now that the whole country has just entered the track of economic construction, a large amount of money is needed everywhere, and the national treasury reserves need to be used to start a war, which will disrupt the fund allocation plan of the household department. ”

With Wei Zheng and Gao Jingming taking the lead, some ministers also raised questions.

Wei Zheng and Gao Jingming came out to express their objections, which was discussed in advance between Li You and Li Chengqian.

Since Li Chengqian actually grasped power, many people in the court were afraid and did not dare to express their opinions normally, but it was not a normal court atmosphere, in order to make the ministers more relaxed, to be able to actively maintain the unity of the court with the mentality of the protagonist, and sincerely serve the court, it was necessary to carry out normal court debates.

Li Chengqian said: "Yes, fifth brother, tell me your reasons." ”

Li You said, "Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

He said: "The ocean-going fleet has arrived in Guangzhou, and Lu Tong and others are about to come to Chang'an. Among the plant species they brought back, there are some plant species that play an extremely important role in the national economy.

One of these plants is called the rubber tree, and rubber is a good thing. The boots on everyone's feet and the high heels worn by women can't solve the problem of waterproofing. ”

"Not only is it uncomfortable, but it's also easy to smell feet and damage your shoes." Hou Junji said.

Wei Chigong said: "Yes, when the Turks were fighting, the soldiers walked forward in the snow, and many people had frostbite on their feet because of the soaked soles, and many of them had their limbs amputated. It would be great if they could have waterproof soles. ”

"yes." The ministers chimed in.

Li You said: "Rubber can be used to make shoe soles, even if they are soaked in water for ten or eight years, they will not penetrate through." How big of a problem can this alone solve?

Of course, rubber is more than that, it is resistant to wear and elasticity, and it is the best material for making wheels, compared to wooden wheels.

Cinchona tree is the main raw material for the manufacture of cinchona cream, which is a special medicine for the prevention and treatment of fever, especially malaria, and is a necessity in tropical areas. Cinchona cream is made by grinding the bark of the cinchona tree.

With this drug, thousands of people can be saved every year......

Economically, these things can lead to great wealth......"

Li You's science popularized the role of some important plants. He asked, "Do you think it's important?" ”

The ministers listened with relish and said, "These things are too important, they must be planted in large quantities!" ”

Li You said: "These tropical plants can only grow in the tropics, such as Linyi and Zhenla, etc., if you don't lay Zhenla, the land is not enough."

Also, the imperial court is now engaged in economic construction, so let's count it as an economic account.

Lingnan Province is the border area of the Tang Dynasty, the economic development is relatively backward, every year the court has to provide a large amount of funds for Lingnan Province to maintain the operation of the government, as well as the expenditure of the army, which has played a considerable role in hindering the economic construction of the Tang Dynasty.

If you lay a real wax, first of all, you can get a great harvest economically, the entire Lingnan Road at least three years no longer need the imperial court subsidy, Li Ke said, as long as you lend him 2 million yuan, he guarantees to return it within a year, and give the court 500,000 yuan of interest.

The newly acquired land can accommodate a large number of immigrants, and the development of those tropical resources will also have great economic gains.

Politically speaking, laying down Zhenla can also echo the Northwest Dao, clamp down Tianzhu and other countries, and ensure the tranquility of the border hammer in the southwest and northwest of the Tang Dynasty.

My Tang Dynasty is strong and prosperous, and it is easy to lay down Zhenla, do you say that this kind of business can be done? ”

After Li You finished speaking, he looked around and waited for the ministers to express their opinions.
