"That's it, it's business as usual! Yesterday, the Goguryeo envoy Luo Yongsong said that Silla sent 50,000 troops in August to capture the border Niangjian City, and wanted the Tang Dynasty to persuade him to withdraw his troops. Li Shimin waved his hand and sighed.

"Why should the Holy Lord be in a hurry, with the development speed of the Tang Dynasty, it will be effortless to win Goguryeo in a few years! When the time comes, the old minister will lead the horse and put on armor for the saint. Xiao Yu touched her beard and smiled.

"Silla's national strength is far from Goguryeo, and it is definitely not an opponent, but it was only because of the front line of the Tang Dynasty that there were too many garrisons that it was caught off guard, and it should be recaptured soon, and the minister concluded that Goguryeo would definitely not dare to counterattack." Li Jing also spoke.

"What you Aiqing said is true, and I also understand, it's just that Goguryeo owes too much blood debt to the Central Plains, like a fish in the throat, and if it doesn't die, I feel uncomfortable every day." Li Shimin said unwillingly.

"The Tang Dynasty has destroyed the country one after another, and the surrounding small countries are already like frightened birds, either far away from the Tang Dynasty, or stationed troops at the border, so! The minister thought that it would be stable development for two years, and after they relaxed, they would go down in one fell swoop with the momentum of thunder. Du Ruhui reminded.

"Yes, the countries are already frightened, I am afraid that as soon as there is a change in Datang, it will lead to a desperate fight, if they unite, things will be in trouble." The eldest grandson Wuji said worriedly.

"Zhao Guogong rest assured, this point has already been thought of by the saint, Shuofang, Youzhou, Jiannandao, Shuzhong, and Liaoxi all have troops, and most of the government soldiers are here, and they can be armed at any time, although it is difficult to attack, there is still no problem in defense." Li Jing, as a master tactician and a secretary of the military department, naturally arranged it a long time ago.

But everyone present didn't expect that it would really appear in the future............

"After the year, the Ministry of War applied to expand the scale of the naval force and increase the production of warships, so as to facilitate travel to and from Wadao and the South Seas." Li Jing took out another book and said.

"Wajima, there is no war in the South Seas, is it necessary to expand the naval army?" Tang Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, asked.

"At present, the Nanyang controlled by the Tang Dynasty is the Luzon Islands, Chenla and other places, and the Lingnan fleet explored the Nanyang Islands, trying to find a sea route to the Jieri Dynasty, and found that there were several islands full of various spices, innumerable, inexhaustible.

And there are a large number of Tu tribes, these natives use weapons but stones, sticks, but their bodies are full of precious stones, gold, and the houses they live in are all huge nanmu and agarwood. Feng Daiwen got up and said, these news were found by the Feng family's fleet, but with such a huge fat, it is too difficult to rely on Lingnan to develop, and what Feng Daiwen hopes most is not to be rich and rich, of course, he informed Li Shimin.

After discussion, the Ministry of War proposed a plan to increase troops, but Feng Daiwen only told the actual situation.

"Goo!"

There was a sound of swallowing saliva coming from the main hall, and it was obvious that many people were getting out of breath and getting thicker.

The price of spices in the Central Plains has always been relatively expensive, although there are many occupied areas now, but almost all of them are in the mountains, picking is not very convenient, but the delay is different, it is so big, and the whole is above, naturally there is no need to consider the problem of picking, even if it is transported to the Western Regions, it is also worth a lot.

"What Wei Guo said is true?" The eldest grandson Wuji's voice became hoarse, and his Adam's apple squirmed and asked.

"Naturally, I don't dare to deceive you! Ten boatloads of spices are on their way to Chang'an, and with a plate, they can be exchanged for a piece of gold and gemstone ornaments on the Turen! Feng Daiwen said with a habitual smile.

"The life of the Tu people is hard, in my opinion, they should be managed by the Tang Dynasty." Tang Jian touched the willow whisker and said.

"Why are you talking so much, in my opinion, such a good place can only be owned by the Tang Dynasty, and the Tu people will be arrested and mined." Wei Chigong's chest rose and fell, his two bull's eyes were red, his black face turned purple, and he waved his hand and said loudly.

A layer of fig leaf was uncovered by him, turning into the invasion of Chiguoguo, Fang Xuanling said with a little embarrassment: "The Nanyang Tu clan is indeed unbearable, and the family who went to develop it returned, the Tu clan on the island is very lazy, they can lie down and never stand, and the island is rich in food, and there is basically no worry about starvation, so many people are unwilling to farm." ”

"Since this is the case, it is better to grasp more, and hold on to labor reform for a few years, and naturally become diligent." The eldest grandson Wuji suggested.

"Good! As the Son of Heaven, I should teach the people of the world that the Nanyang Islands also belong to the Tang Dynasty, and we must change this bad atmosphere. Li Shimin said righteously.

"Do you know what kind of country the Ring Sun Dynasty is? Why should we explore his sea routes? Duan Lun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, asked curiously.

"The Jieri Dynasty is a very large country, and its territory is about the same size as the Tang Dynasty, a bit like the Shang and Zhou dynasties, when there were many subject countries, and Kunlun Nu was the one there." Feng Daiwen said as he recalled his pitiful memory.

"Kunlun slave? This is good, Kunlun slaves are powerful, and they are honestly very good laborers, I don't know how their soldiers are. Li Jing asked with interest.

"It's far from the Tang Dynasty, and it's rich in gems, but it's just that the population is relatively large and the place is large, so it's not easy to conquer." Feng Dawen replied.

"It doesn't matter, there are 200,000 newborn babies in Guannei Road this year, and more than 100,000 are pregnant, which is four times as many as last year, and more children will be born next year, and after more than ten years, Datang will have enough manpower to occupy those lands." Fang Xuanling said with a smile.

"It all depends on the wisdom of the saints and the encouragement of the people to have children, so that today's grand occasion will be possible." The eldest grandson Wuji smiled and complimented.

"In all dynasties, everyone has been fighting to the death around the land of the Central Plains, but they don't know that there is such a huge world outside, how sad it is!" Xiao Yu touched his beard and shook his head and sighed.

"Therefore, we should strive to be the first and lay enough territory for future generations, even if the descendants are incompetent in the future, they will not be bullied by Fanbang, and this world will always be the world of the descendants of Yan and Huang." Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, his tone was heavier, and he patted the case and said.

"The ministers are willing to participate in the grand event and strive for the Tang Dynasty!" A group of people were stimulated by Li Shimin's words, and they all said loudly.

"The world is so big, I can't see it anyway, guarding the Quartet, you need the joint efforts of all your ministers, and those who have made meritorious contributions to the Tang Dynasty will definitely be rewarded in the future." Li Shimin's empty checks flew up, and he did not hesitate to make a big promise.

"The ministers have done their best to die, and they will definitely live up to the grace of God!" Whether it is sincere or false, Li Shimin's words are always very heartwarming, and they are basically die-hard people here, of course, they are very popular.
