"So I brought Guan Shangshu to you, and of course that kid Li Qi is indispensable!" King Ming said happily.

Li Zhi had already seen the two of them, and seeing him looking at him at this time, Guan Ming and Li Qi hurriedly got up and walked.

Because of Princess Yiyi, Guan Ming and Li Zhi lost their previous casualness of getting along, but obviously now that they have passed that hurdle psychologically, there is a smile on their faces at this time:

"Text, this time you have brought a huge shock to the entire court! No one ever thought that Bohai Bay could be solved in this way, shortening the distance by 2,300 or 400 miles at once. ”

Guan Ming's attitude has changed, but his title has also changed, maybe he thinks that he is a dignified uncle, and it will be a bit out of place to call him Mr. Li again.

Li Zhi didn't care about this: "Actually, it's not that complicated, it's just that no one remembers it!" ”

"Whether you want to think about it or not, and whether you dare to think about it are still two different things, about this, even if the old men of the DPRK and China are not familiar with the reason, those fishermen who are adults fishing in Bohai Bay still don't know this reason? It's still a question of whether you dare to think about it, but it is said that the sea is very windy and rough! ”

"The wind is monsoon, and the monsoon climate has its own characteristics, so we can check with local fishermen to sort out the general wind direction. During that period, it was either closed or strictly controlled, but for two or three months, it was not a problem! ”

"Hey, why did you solve the problem that bothered those doctors of the Hanlin Academy by you in a few words?"

This time, the look of surprise on Guan Ming's face did not show the slightest bluff, and it was obvious that the same issue had caused a big debate.

"Hahaha......"

King Ming laughed:

"Just now you were talking about what you dared to think about, but you didn't expect to make the same mistake, right? Where is the sea surface not windy and waves? Bohai Bay is just an extra airflow surging around land on three sides, and there are particularities, but it's not to be afraid, right? Otherwise, why did our ancestors still never stop fishing in that sea area for hundreds or thousands of years? Don't they know that they are afraid? ”

Li Qi laughed, but his face was obviously unnatural.

Li Zhi saw the problem and took the opportunity to joke: "If my guess is correct, Brother Fanghua is also one of the questioners, right?" ”

Guan Ming immediately understood, squeezed his eyes and deliberately lowered his voice and said:

"That's really the case, I am convinced that because of the huge waves in Bohai Bay and the unstable wind, the two Datang gateways of Youzhou and Yuyang, will not be disturbed by foreign enemies, it is their military's inherent thinking! The Fanghua brothers are not opposed to the navigation of Dengzhou and Sanshanpu in Liaodong, but they do not think it is important for coastal defense! ”

"Hmm!" Ming Wang said, "So far, the Bohai Bay has never been harassed by foreign enemies, but now that maritime traffic is developing more and more, our vision can not only be on Silla and Khitan from the north!" ”

Li Zhi explained to Li Qi:

"We need to look at problems from the perspective of development, and this is especially true of history. The history of the change of dynasties in Dongtu is a history of the development of Chinese civilization. But now there are too many minority regimes around our Datang. The Eastern Turks, the Western Turks, the small states of the Western Regions, the Khitans, the Xi, the Bohai, the Tuyuhun, the Tibetans, the Hui, the Nanzhao, and the powerful Arab Empires to the west. ”

He changed the topic, "Datang's establishment of effective national defense is not just a temporary need, or only to protect Datang from foreign enemies, but to permanently fix the idea of a military center in a critical place." With the current military strength of the Tang Dynasty, it is difficult for East Asia to give birth to a second civilization that can compete with the Chinese ethnic groups. But it is not destined to be dominated by the Chinese ethnic group from now on, and the Chinese Plain surrounded by barbarians is by no means a vast heyday that will exist forever. Laziness and arrogance will occur under the idea of ease, the eagle stands like sleep, the tiger walks like a disease, the ground is low into the sea, and the straight is like a bend, which must not be ignored, the largest depth and shortcoming of the hinterland of China, and has repeatedly suffered from this. ”

Several people were moved when they heard this, and after a short silence, King Ming motioned for him to continue the narrative.

"The first and deep sinicization of westward territories such as Longxi, Bashu, Hetao, Hexi, and the Western Regions were completed by the regimes in the west of the capital, such as Qin, Han, Sui, and Tang; the inclusion of south-facing territories such as Minyue, Nanyue, and Southwest Yi, such as Qin and Han; It was started by the northern regime that was close to the line of the Qinling Mountains and the Huai River, and then by the regime located in the south of the Yangtze River or with the economic center of gravity in the south, such as the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Southern Dynasties, and the Tang Dynasty. However, only the northward Mongolian Plateau and the Northeast Plain have never been able to truly integrate into our eastern soil before this, and this is where our depth and weakness lie. ”

Li Zhi said solemnly towards Li Qi, "It's just that we must not think that only the three forces of Mongolia, Northeast China, and Central Plains have never been able to integrate with Hu and Han, and how many countries have been annexed across the sea by the Arab Empire, which is as powerful as ours, even if it is as far as Europe!" Yes, we have been on the western border, effectively suppressing their eastward expansion intentions, but what about after the decline of the Tang Dynasty? ”

"Do you mean to take advantage of the fact that my Datang has enough strength to stabilize the future danger for future generations?" Richie asked.

Li Zhi nodded, "There is no imperial power in history that will always prosper and will not wither!" Relying on the strategic environment that is unique for a while, how long is it a trivial matter for our Tang Dynasty, and the level of transcendent civilization development is only for a while, and it is always the most important thing for external forces to not touch our eastern soil holy land! Short or long-term unification, will eventually fall into chaos due to the decline of the times of centralization, once five chaotic China, the Western Jin Dynasty can perish, which leads to the overall nature of the economic center of gravity to the south, if the previous dynasties in the various military areas have already had a defensive structure, why the Central Plains fell? ”

"Mr. Li, I understand!"

Li Qi actually involuntarily stood up, and the same solemn look in his eyes showed his thorough understanding.

King Ming twisted his head frequently, but he knew that since yesterday, all parties in the relevant government offices in Chang'an City had reacted.

There are people like Li Zhi who are well aware of the foresight, and they all vigorously recommend the navigation plan of the Bohai Bay.

Those with a little bit of insight, like Rich, are more aware of superficial business practices.

More mediocre people have an indifferent attitude towards this plan, but because of Li Zhi's status, they will not openly give objections, and it is their unified choice not to care about themselves.

So King Ming said meaningfully to Li Qi:

What the text talks about is a kind of in-depth concept, but after all, it is based on personal inference, without facts as a basis, and few people can understand it! It's just that others don't care, but your military must have this kind of full consideration of the worries of the world, no matter what they say, as the secretary of the military department, you should have transcendent deeds! ”

Li Qi replied affirmatively: "Starting from me, we can no longer be limited to a corner of the moment, even if there will be people in the army who do not understand."

But this sense of distress must be developed in the military. ”

Li Zhi made a concluding remarks on his exposition:

"At present, my Tang Dynasty is the first empire in East Asia, but after the empire has accumulated shortcomings and it is difficult to return, it will fall into a long-term chaotic era of internal friction and weaken the absolute advantage of Chinese civilization over the surrounding areas! Let's take the ephemeral appearance of the Sui Dynasty as an analogy, because of the Sui Dynasty, we completed the unification of political power, and in addition to the unification of the new Han people, there is also the greatest legacy left to civilization: the Grand Canal! The excavation of the Grand Canal is bound to affect hundreds or even thousands of years, and Bohai Bay is actually the Grand Canal in the military sense, which can largely continue the absolute advantage of the previous one! ”

"Smack!" King Ming slapped his thigh, "The Grand Canal on the military!" Text, this metaphor is very appropriate, we as important ministers of the court, should leave more Grand Canal for future generations! ”

Guan Ming silently looked at Li Zhi, who was always pampered and unfazed on his expression, and also had mixed feelings in his heart.

This person is indeed too amorous in personal feelings, but he is far superior to himself in terms of foresight and wisdom.

He no longer has the resentment in his heart because of his sister Yiyi, this person is amazing, intellectual, sharp-minded, and even more rare to have that loyalty and courage.

But then Li Zhi's words changed, but he revealed another joke: "It's all my own people, I won't hide it from you, the navigation of Bohai Bay is a huge business opportunity, Zhengqing Wenqitang wants to take over the entire sea channel transportation, and a few people will help when the time comes." ”

His words are not wrong, it will be a good deal to monopolize the sea passage in Bohai Bay, as long as it can avoid natural disasters such as shipwrecks, the benefits will not be much lower than that of Zhengqing Wenqitang.

Moreover, the three in front of them really control the law, military, and government affairs, as long as their opinions are unified, unless the emperor denies it, the different opinions in the court will really not play much role.

It's just that this kind of topic came at a bad time, and while others were admiring his farsighted advice, they were suddenly connected with his own selfish interests.

So, King Ming frowned, Li Qi was dumbfounded, Guan Ming opened his mouth wide in surprise, and of course, there were several women around him covering their mouths and stealing fun.

"It's... This tall image has changed too quickly, right? After a long time, Li Qi couldn't help but mutter.

"That's it! Text, your Zhengqing Wenqitang is already an inexhaustible gold mine, what's the use of asking for so much wealth? If you don't bring it in life, you won't bring it in death! Guan Ming was puzzled.

Li Zhizheng said: "I just give an example, in Fuzhou and Ezhou, I have begun to establish two advanced agricultural wood research and development bases, once the finished product comes out, can stand the verification, the entire Datang I will set up dozens of similar wood farms at the same time, these do not need silver?" Can I occupy a single cent of the court? ”

King Ming's eyes lit up, "That's all?" ”

"I will widen the confluence of the Danjiang River and the Bashui River, and renovate all the narrow places of the Grand Canal and the Weishui River, so that Chang'an City can be directly connected to ocean-going cargo ships, and I will not let the imperial court pay for it." Li Zhi patted his chest and said.

"Is that true?"

The so-called treacherous and cunning is the kind of king of Ming, a few casual rhetorical questions, and Li Zhi will spit out all his words! (https:)
