Chapter 165: Fighting for Food

"But even then, what he says isn't necessarily true." Seeing Li Zhen carry out the Book of Heaven, Liu Renliang immediately believed it, but he was still unconvinced: "Your Highness, think about it, how wide is the sea?" How bad are the seas? Just the small boat in Wang Dewei's mouth, which is less than three feet, I'm afraid that it can be overturned by a wave, right? How could they cross such a wide sea and get to the other side of the ocean? Could it be that the Dragon Lord is so partial to them? ”

"To be exact, it's the Dragon Lord who favors us, this is a great opportunity that the Dragon Lord has given us." Now, Li Zhen doesn't plan to hide it: "Do you know why this palace is so vigorously developing the Great Voyage?" ”

"This ......" Liu Renliang and the others glanced at each other, and Feng Zhibao asked: "Isn't it what His Highness said, conquer the world and build the Tang Dynasty into a peerless dynasty that is unparalleled in ancient and modern times?" ”

"Naturally, there is a reason for this." Li Zhen first nodded in affirmation of Liu Renliang's answer, and then shook his head again: "But the enemies of the Tang Dynasty are all on land, if we want to conquer them, we should vigorously develop cavalry and infantry, even if the war needs the support of the navy, this palace doesn't have to exert so much effort, right?" ”

"Of course, it's to make money, but without money, where can you have the ability to go to war? Wait a minute......" Liu Renliang suddenly got stuck, and suddenly asked in shock: "Isn't Australia just a springboard for His Highness, and His Royal Highness's real purpose has always been this America?" Isn't His Highness preparing to conquer the Americas? ”

"That's right, America is the final purpose of this palace." Li Zhen did not deny it, but nodded and admitted: "Although my Datang is known as a treasure of things and a lot of things, but in fact the resources are not very rich, and after thousands of years of development, it has already reached the extreme, if you want Datang to continue to develop, you must find an overseas territory for us to transfuse."

Australia is rich in resources and was originally the best overseas blood transfusion target for Datang, but Australia alone can make up for Datang's shortcomings in a short period of time, but once Datang continues to develop, or even develops to the peak, Australia alone is not enough.

Fortunately, the sky has eyes, there are continents in this world that are bigger than Australia, or even bigger than the Tang Dynasty, and the Americas are the same as Australia, there are only indigenous people and a congenitally deficient civilization that is destined to perish. ”

Li Zhen simply told all his plans, and he was not afraid that his enemies would know, because the Americas were too far away, and even if there was an accurate map, it would be absolutely impossible to reach there without advanced ships and rich sailing experience.

Besides, even if you can get there, what can you do?

No one can conquer it without the support of national forces - do you really think that the millions of natives in the Americas are docile little rabbits?

Everyone was shocked, they didn't expect Li Zhen to plan like this.

No one said that Li Zhen was fighting an unjust war.

The people present who can be valued by Li Zhen and take with him are either his henchmen or the students who graduated from Wentian Academy, these people are very open-minded under the influence of Li Zhen for several years.

What's more, what is justice and what is evil?

Not to say that there is no need for righteousness between countries, let's just say that righteousness is actually implicated in interests.

What is good for oneself is righteous, and what is harmful to oneself is evil.

Just to conquer a Luzon, Liu Renliang came back with nearly a year's tax profits from Datang, not to mention conquering a continent - so conquering Australia and the Americas is of course beneficial to Datang.

Therefore, such an act is naturally just.

"What's more, there are several very tasty crops in the Americas that Hongu must get." At the end, Li Zhen added another sentence, but it was this sentence that made Liu Renliang's face change greatly.

"Your Highness, don't talk nonsense." Liu Renliang hurriedly looked around and found that there were all his own people around, so he was relieved.

Turning his head to look at the speechless Li Zhen, Liu Renliang hurriedly admonished: "Your Highness, in order to find delicious food, please don't say anything about this in the future - even if Your Highness really thinks so, you can't say it in front of people." If this falls into the ears of someone who cares, it would be fine to let those defenders join you, but the problem is that if someone uses this to set a trap for His Highness, then His Highness will be in danger. ”

Li Zhen couldn't laugh or cry, what is this?

How is it dangerous?

How do they set a trap?

Li Zhen didn't know that in the eyes of others, she was known for being perfect.

There is only one shortcoming, that is, I like food, and Datang's food reform started with Li Zhen.

What they are most afraid of is that Li Zhen's shortcomings will be exposed, for fear that the enemy will set a food trap and be unfavorable to Li Zhen.

With the secret efforts of everyone under his command over the years, Li Zhen's shortcomings are no longer known, and he has to forget it when he sees it, but he didn't expect Li Zhen to expose himself, but fortunately, he is surrounded by his own people, and he doesn't have to worry about leaking secrets.

"As for all the fuss?" Li Zhen smiled: "The head of this palace is so big, what haven't you seen before, are you so worried?" ”

Liu Ren tracked: "No, Your Highness, if someone peeks into this weakness...... You must know that disease enters from the mouth, and poison also enters from the mouth. Besides, even if you don't talk about this, as the prince of a country, let people know that you are actually greedy for food, which is not good to hear, and it will make people laugh. ”

"Who told you I wanted those plants for food?" Li Zhen said what made a country right: "Could it be that in your minds, this palace is the kind of person who can send troops to conquer a continent for a bite to eat?" ”

"Of course, there are people who do have a reason for this." Looking at the strange eyes of the people around her, Li Zhen inexplicably felt a little weak, and hurriedly added.

Then he defended himself: "But what is this? Since ancient times, there have been many sages who liked food, and there are even many who have left their names in history because of food, and I haven't seen anyone say anything. ”

"But it's not good to get this reputation out after all." Liu Ren tracked: "And the upward and downward effects, Your Highness, you like food, the people below will definitely follow suit, in the long run, there will definitely be extravagance and waste, extravagance and extravagance." ”

"Oh, listen to me." Li Zhen is helpless, can you let people finish speaking?

"It's the subordinates who are abrupt." Liu Renliang hurriedly stopped his mouth: "Please also ask Your Highness to solve your doubts." ”

"Cut, it's really ......"

There are only two chapters today, but this should be the last two chapters, because the family is finally busy, and the uncle will be accompanied by someone, and Ben San can also withdraw his mind from the uncle for the time being.

But not necessarily, in short, let's take it one step at a time.

(End of chapter)
