Basilica.

Li Shimin drank tea slowly.

After the mutton fat and ginger, green onion, garlic and spices are missing, the tea is much more delicious.

Quench your thirst and refresh your thirst.

In Chang'an City, a wind of tea drinking is popular.

"Who has the best tea business in the whole Tang Dynasty now?" Li Shimin asked slowly.

"Your Majesty, the tea business in the entire Yan Mansion of Chang'an City is the best now." Li Cheng smiled slightly and said, "It is reported that the Yan Mansion has purchased mountains and forests in various parts of the south and planted large areas of tea trees. ”

"What you just drank is the big red robe sent to the palace from the Yan Mansion, in addition, there are tea ...... such as Maojian and Pu'er" Li Cheng hurriedly told Li Shimin everything he knew.

"This Yan Mansion is really going to make money." After listening to this, Li Shimin nodded, and said: "I think it should be the same, this tea is from the Wei Palace, and Qingque will not give such a lucrative business to others." ”

As soon as he mentioned his son, Li Shimin's face was full of pride.

Give birth to a child like Li Qingque!

The changes in Datang over the years, which one has anything to do with his son?

"Are the numbers out?" Li Shimin slowly put down the teacup and asked, "This time, that academy has the most people?" ”

"It has been counted that in this imperial examination, among the students in the middle of the examination, there are the most people from Confucian College, a total of 57 people are on the list, and five of the top ten are from Confucian College. There are 27 people on the list from the Li Academy, 38 from the Shijia Academy, and 15 from the Cui Family Academy......," Li Cheng said.

"It seems that this academy is still very necessary." Li Shimin sighed and said.

This time, more than half of the students on the list are scholars of the academy, and it seems that this academy is still very capable of cultivating talents.

"If it were the entire Datang Academy, how good it would be." Li Shimin sighed, Datang needs talents.

In the future, there will be a greater need for talents!

Each academy cultivates talents from each family, but that is also the talent of Datang!

"Da Da Da ......"

Heavy footsteps rang out outside.

Li Tai walked in from outside, holding a fritter in his hand, and eating it with a chirp.

"Dad, early in the morning, what did you call me for?" Li Tai walked in, pulled a piece of rice paper, and wiped his greasy hand clean.

Li Shimin saw this situation, and his angry beard was about to float.

If it had been before, he would have beaten this guy hard.

Now, the royal family can't run out of paper, so they put up with it.

"It should be, what are you doing early in the morning?!" Li Shimin glared at Li Tai and said.

"Dad, didn't you admit two hundred new imperial examinees this time? I think they should receive three months of ideological education. Li Tai said.

"Oh? Tell me? Li Shimin was a little interested.

"You think, they will become the pillars of the country in the future, and their knowledge and ability are naturally unique in ten thousand, but whether their thoughts are positive or not, I don't know." Li Tai smiled faintly and said, "For example, their understanding of the world is probably not as good as that of a subordinate in my house." ”

"Therefore, before they officially take up their posts, I propose that they first enter Tiance Academy to study world history and ideological education."

"Dad, loyal to the monarch and patriotic, you can't just talk about it, I hope to organize more officials in the future to learn patriotic and patriotic education." A big smile appeared on Li Tai's face.

"It's feasible!" Li Shimin's eyes couldn't help flashing a glimmer of light.

This kind of education is a must!

……

Above the sea.

Ships carrying figures are coming quickly towards Dengzhou.

On the bow of the boat, a bald head stood, with a smile on his face.

This is the second round trip this year.

The first time, just after landing in Dengzhou, the people were divided up by those nobles before they arrived in Chang'an City.

"Captain, after this trip, are you still going to sea?" A crew member walked up to him and asked.

"What? You're not going to come out? He looked at the crew beside him, and a smile appeared on his face: "Also, you made a lot of money last time, I heard that you have already bought land near Chang'an City?" ”

"I bought it, but I still want to do this work at sea, I have a few fellow villagers, who played together when I was a child, and I also want to go to sea to earn some money to subsidize the family, I don't know if you can accept it, captain?" He asked tentatively.

"Collect, why not? After this trip, I will go into two more big boats, and then I will need a lot of men, so you call them all, and if they have clean hands and feet, I will take them. A big smile appeared on the bald head's face.

In the Wa Kingdom, a knife for chopping wood can be exchanged for ten women, and a pound of rice can be exchanged for three women, this business is simply very good, and it would be foolish not to do it.

Every time the ship was docked in the port, the nobles of the Japanese kingdom couldn't wait to find themselves and exchange the women in the territory for money, and they didn't need to do it themselves.

The ports of Silla and Baekje were full of slaves ready to be sold.

Silla, Baekje, and Goguryeo fought in a melee, and each country captured a lot of people, these people raised wasted food, let go and threatened their own rule, so when the slave ships of the Tang Dynasty docked in the port, those nobles saw hope.

Captives turned into slaves and sold to the Tang in exchange for money and food.

With food and money, you can develop your strength again!

Therefore, the route from the port of Dengju to Silla and Baekje to Wakoku has become the most prosperous place in the whole world.

Countless slave ships continue to come and go here, and people from the family come and go in Dengzhou every day.

……

Snowy plateau.

Niu Jinda has been in the snowy plateau for a full year, and under his management, the southern part of the snowy plateau has become more and more prosperous.

There are more and more cases where women in the East Women's Country and men in Datang have formed a family.

At this moment, he was in the palace, and a figure ran in from the outside.

"Enlighten the Governor! Outside came a group of Western Turks. ”

"Oh? Western Turks? Niu Jinda thought for a while and said, "Let them in." ”

"Whoa!"

A few minutes later, several Western Turks entered the palace.

"Why did you come to me?" Niu Jinda asked straight to the point.

One of the envoys asked, "Are you the Duke of Niu Guo of the Tang Dynasty?" ”

"Exactly."

"We are the envoys of King Helu Khan, and your King Tai of Wei promised our King Khan that as long as we can get Uzi steel, he will be willing to exchange food and ordnance for it."

"Oh? Did you get it? ”

"Got it."

"How much?"

"Fifty thousand catties!"

"So, you Western Turks have conquered Tianzhu?"

"The kingdoms of Tianzhu are nothing but chickens and dogs, how can they be the opponents of our heroic Turks? Ten countries have already been conquered by us! The Turkic envoy showed a smug look on his face: "The north of Tianzhu is all in my hands!"
