"Hateful, hateful, if I have tens of thousands of people, I will conquer them myself!" Li Shimin looked at the vast land on the map and said very unwillingly.

The Tang Dynasty in this era is not as closed as a certain dynasty in later generations, so he is still quite enthusiastic about the land, knowing that there are so many territories overseas, he can't all become the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin is quite angry in his heart.

"Your Majesty, the population of our Datang is still too small, if we have enough population and fast enough boats, we can actually turn these places into Datang." Cheng Chubi opened his mouth and said, "Not now, doesn't mean it won't work in the future." And if we can have a fast enough sea boat to go all the way along this line to the land of the remnants of Yin Shang and retrieve the seeds of crops such as corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, tomatoes, and peanuts, the people of Datang will not be hungry in the future, and the whole world will not be Datang by then? ”

Li Shimin's heart is really big, and he wants to conquer the whole world, but the Goguryeo, Western Turks, Tibetans and the countries of the Western Regions at his doorstep have not yet been destroyed.

"Well, if these crops can be as you say, thousands of catties per acre, then you are the biggest hero of my Datang." Li Shimin said holding his beard.

"Your Majesty! Weichen has a phobia of being an official, a phobia of weapons, kidney deficiency, kidney deficiency, kidney failure, what, it's really difficult for me to be qualified for such a task" Cheng Chubi hurriedly said, I can still make suggestions, but if I want to really carry it out, it is better to let me die early.

In this era, coming to Datang from Dongying is a life of nine deaths, Jianzhen has crossed to the east several times, and he has not been able to succeed in crossing the east even if he has blinded himself, let alone going to a farther place.

The sea is much more dangerous than the earth. Legend has it that there are still some prehistoric creatures in the sea in this era, such as huge sea snakes, such as some kind of sea monsters, etc., which are dead, or honestly stay in Datang.

"Humph! What a tired erector, it's hard to be a big job! Li Shimin said with some hatred that iron is not steel, seeing a person like Cheng Chubi who is bent on enjoying comfort, he really can't wait to slap him away.

"Your Majesty's name." Cheng Chubi was overjoyed, listening to this meaning, he didn't have to participate in this matter. Datang is the Datang of your old Li family, and the master is not interested in working for your old Li family.

"You say, how can I get the seeds of those crops back?" Li Shimin asked.

"This is not easy, the best architect must build a good sea boat, the sea boat is different from the river boat, the sea boat needs to be bigger, and more solid, and then there must be a good boat posture, the most important thing is to have Sinan, the sea is vast, if there is no Sinan, it will inevitably disappear the direction, this sea is more than a year or two years at a time, and the preparation before and after, at least it will take several years." Cheng Chubi couldn't help but say.

"Well, who do you think should handle this?"

"This ...... The minister did not know. Cheng Chubi thought for a while and said.

"Can't you recommend someone?" Li Shimin hated iron and glared at Cheng Chubi.

"Your Majesty, the minister can recommend you a talent, but this person has nothing to do with going to sea." Cheng Chubi thought about it, didn't he just make friends with a certain talent? Now it's time to recommend it.

"Oh? So what kind of talent are you? ”

"A righteous scholar, surnamed Zhong Mingkui, the word is south, he is a scholar from the cold family of Zhongnan Mountain, he is ugly, but he is a talented person."

"Li Zhong, you go to find him, I'm sleepy." Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "The horse doesn't have to go back, just rest in the empty hall, and when Zhong Kui comes, I want to see if it's really what I told the horse." ”

"Yes!"

In response, a small chamberlain took Cheng Chubi to the side hall, looking at the figure of Cheng Chubi leaving, Li Shimin couldn't help but smile slightly, shook his head, and said, "Is it so difficult to call me a father?" Although Yu'er is not my own child, she is closer than my own child. ”

Then, he said to the eunuch waiting beside him: "Go, tell Zhao Qingshu that if he can't do some things, don't stay in the position where he should stay." ”

At the same time, the sky outside had already lit up, and in an inn, a figure got up early, opened the window, and the bright light spilled from outside, illuminating the words on the book.

A burly, but strange-looking man sat by the window, looking intently, with a faint sadness between his eyebrows from time to time.

"Squeak!"

There was a sound, the door opened, and a young man in a green coat walked in.

"Zhengnan, I went to the Pony Mansion yesterday, how is it? Have you ever seen the legendary first genius of the Tang Dynasty? The other party came in, with a look of concern on his face.

"Yes, I see." Zhong Kui put down the book in his hand and said.

"Then he commented on your poem?" The man asked. Zhong Kui couldn't help but shake his head.

"No, no, no, everyone is spreading that Cheng is a kind person, even if you look strange in Zhengnan, but you are also rich in poetry and books, he shouldn't underestimate you." Du Pingxi said with some puzzlement: "Could it be that this horse is actually a fame and reputation fisherman?" ”

"Cheng Yuma didn't underestimate me, and he was kind to people, but my appearance, even if I won the three yuan, I was not on the list." Zhong Kui sighed and said, "I am both civil and military, not worse than others at all, but my appearance is different from ordinary people, ugly, and everyone in the world is proud of their beauty, even if it is the saint today, right?" ”

"Xiuyuan, do you say that so-and-so shouldn't come to Chang'an?" Zhong Kui looked at his friend, who was also a future brother and sister, and asked.

"Zhengnan is saying very discouraged words, you have a strategic mind, you can be literate and martial, do you want to stay in Zhongnan Mountain for the rest of your life and live a mediocre life!" Du Pingxi couldn't help but be angry, and said: "I am born to be useful, and I will come back when my daughter is gone!" Hasn't Zhengnan heard this poem by the horse? ”

"But, hey!" Zhong Kui couldn't help sighing, what Du Pingxi said was not wrong, but what the horse said was not wrong, everyone in the world judges people by their appearance, what is the use of having a strategy?

"Zhong Kui, Zhong Zhengnan can be inside?" At this moment, a duck-like sound sounded outside, and when I looked down from the window, I saw a group of people downstairs.

A team of more than a dozen Jin Wuwei, an old waiter.

"In! At! Zhong Kui's face was full of doubts, but he still answered.

"Since you're here, why don't you come down and take the order!" Li Zhong said loudly.

When Li Zhong saw Zhong Kui, he couldn't help but gasp, the person who came couldn't be called a human being, he was simply a demon, that appearance was really terrifying.
