The eldest grandson ran looked at the little brother, and the first one frowned and said:

"Father means...... This Quangai Suwen and Fuyufeng are actually going to join forces with the Fuying Wa Kingdom to attack our Tang Dynasty and Silla coalition forces on three sides? ”

"Won't you...... This...... That's ridiculous, isn't it? ”

Although Changsun Ze has also been with Changsun Run since he was a child, he has been accustomed to Li Jimen, but his strength is martial arts rather than the art of war, so he frowned first.

The eldest grandson run shook his head and said:

"Aze, you're not right. If that's the case, I'm afraid that our Tang Silla coalition will really be held back by them. ”

"Why?"

Eldest Sun Wuji nodded and said:

"Arun is right. Goguryeo is still martial, although its national strength is declining, but it really has the ability to strike a death blow. In addition, the terrain of Baekje is extremely dangerous, and it is in a position of hostage in the Silla Kingdom, and the two coalition forces will face our Tang Dynasty and Silla coalition forces, although they will undoubtedly be defeated, but it will take some effort. If there is another Fuying Wa Kingdom, which is good at water warfare, attacks from behind......

Although our Datang's victory is still seventy percent, it still has to sacrifice a lot in the end. Therefore, if Goguryeo and Baekje really joined forces with the Wa Kingdom, if we do not make adequate preparations in advance, we are afraid that we will suffer some dark losses. ”

Only then did Changsun Ze nod and said:

"I see...... I said, why would the queen be so concerned because of a grain of salt...... It's just that I don't understand, how did this private water spirit shatter have a relationship with the Goguryeo Baekje Alliance and the Fuying Wa Kingdom? ”

Eldest Sun Run also looked at Eldest Sun Wuji with a confused expression:

"Father, although you have been guarding against that queen mother, but in this matter, don't say that Aze thinks she is a little too worried, but Runye thinks ...... She seemed too worried. But the Lord was too worried about her, so he asked the two of us to handle this matter. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said with a solemn face:

"If she is just such a woman, whether she is a father, you senior brother, or even the first emperor...... Why should you be so wary of her? ”

He shook his head, and only after a while did he say lightly:

"My father only asks you, when it comes to the government of a country, the people are the roots, and the wealth is the foundation, so what is the importance of civil affairs and finance?"

"Regardless of the people and money, the most important thing is the two ways of salt and iron. The salt is the foundation of the people; The Iron One, the Instrument of the People. But they are all lacking. ”

"Well, for the sake of my father, I will ask you again, since the way of salt and iron is the most important thing in national politics...... So in Goguryeo, Baekje, and Wa, are they the same? ”

"This is natural." The eldest grandson replied again.

"Why does Goguryeo limit water essence and not harvest it privately?"

"The two roads of salt and iron should have been controlled by the imperial court, and it was a plan to stabilize the people's livelihood. What's more, the crushed water essence is a strange product in salt, which can be exchanged for a huge amount of wealth for Goguryeo, so naturally it cannot be connived at private mining. First, in case his private salt is too much, the good and the bad are uneven, which ruined the reputation of the water essence and broke the money pillar of Goguryeo. Second, it is also necessary to prevent the gradual emergence of private salt, the impact of official salt is too large, and even the water essence is overflowing, and the price of this price falls, which wastes a way to make money. After all, compared with others, the water essence is a salt, but it is very easy to mine and improve in Goguryeo, which is offshore. This time, it was Changsun Ze who rushed to answer.

"Okay, you've all said it, but this water essence is the most convenient piece of Goguryeo at present. Will he give it to Baekje easily? If he refuses, how did this water essence that flows out of the Baekje secret agent come from? ”

The sentence "......" made the two brothers look at each other, and after a while, the eldest grandson said lightly: "Aren't they allies?" This point is ...... private."

"You have also said that this is private salt. Baekje is weaker than Goguryeo, will they risk going against Goguryeo to secretly harvest their private salt, knowing that Goguryeo regards the water essence as a money bag? Regardless of whether Baekje has such skills or not, if there is, do you think they will? ”

“…… No, after all, King Buyeo knows better than anyone what kind of person Izumi Gai Suwen is—he is a person who can kill the lord and bully the king for his own benefit. ”

Therefore, this salt can only be the private salt obtained by the Baekje people with the official permission obtained from Goguryeo. However, the order of Quangai Suwen was like a mountain, and the water spirit was regarded as a pillar of wealth in other countries, and the whole of Goguryeo had complained about his alliance with repeated gangsters like Baekje for many years.

Do you think he would be willing to be let his countrymen know at such a juncture that in order to be able to win this war, he even allowed the Baekje people to easily take their water spirit pieces? ”

"But why did he sell it to Baekje Water Essence Crush?" The eldest grandson Ze was at a loss.

"Goguryeo has been fighting with me in recent years, and the treasury must have been empty. I'm afraid that this water spirit is not something that the Baekje people can easily buy...... Instead, Quangai Suwen himself privately negotiated with the Baekje people and secretly took it and sold it to other countries in exchange for military support. ”

In the end, the eldest grandson can see it more thoroughly, and point out one sentence:

And the words of the Lord and the father are probably all saying one thing, that is, how the Baekje people transported the water essence out of the heavily guarded Goguryeo border.

If Quangae Suwen wants to exchange the water essence fragments in Goguryeo for military resources, he needs three conditions:

The first is the people who can afford it. At this point, whether it is our Tang Dynasty, or Turkic Persian Dashi Tianzhu and other countries, they can consume such things, so he is not worried.

Second, it is to be able to sell it to our people in the Tang Dynasty, Turks, Persia, Dashi, Tianzhu and other countries. Goguryeo himself is definitely not good, after all, they also know that they are now hated by everyone in the whole sea. Therefore, I can only rely on the people of Baekje, who are adjacent to Silla and have very similar appearances, speech and customs, to pretend to be Silla merchants to enter our Tang Dynasty, and then borrow Luoyang, the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty, a treasure land where merchants from all over the world gather, to distribute this item.

Third, it is a team that can transport the water essence crushed from Goguryeo to the border of Baekje, and then it can continue to be transferred to the territory of our Datang.

We are all aware that the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo Baekje are at war and do not trade with each other. So they can only rely on third parties. And Goguryeo's sale of water essence in exchange for military funds, it is obvious that Quangai Suwen does not want to be known by the people of the country and attract revirals. Therefore, he could only do it secretly, and naturally he could not go to Baekje by land, so he could only choose the water route.

Not to mention the need to help the Baekje spies who were also unable to transport the water spirit pieces to the border adjacent to our Datang by land......

Therefore, the greatest possibility is that they also found a third party, a country that can crisscross the Goguryeo coast and can walk freely in the territory of Baekje Silla and our Tang Kingdom as a third country...... And this country will definitely not betray him, at best, it is in line with his interests and can be an ally......

Say, "Who among all the nations of the sea, apart from the Wa kingdoms?" ”

Changsun Ze is naturally not stupid, and he only needs to understand a little, and he immediately has a complete insight:

"So that's to say...... These water spirits can be transported from Goguryeo to Baekje, where water transportation is not very convenient, and then from the border with Silla, the appearance, speech and customs are very similar, and it is easy to be easily disguised as the Silla people's Baekje spies sneaked into our Tang Dynasty and other countries to peddle...... The one in the middle......

Is it the Wa Kingdom with extremely superb military power on the water? From the very beginning, they have secretly formed an alliance, ready to join forces to fight my Datang? ”

After saying this, Eldest Sun Run's eyes couldn't help but widen in astonishment, and he said lightly:

"Just a grain of salt...... Lord ...... And also...... And the mother......

Will they be able to see through this? ”

"Knowing the world is one of the most precious abilities of a true emperor. It is my great fortune that the Lord has this ability. And the queen ......"

The eldest grandson Wuji closed his mouth, sighed for a while, and then said lightly:

"I really don't know, is it my Datang blessing, or my Datang disaster? What's more, the Lord has become infatuated with her to such a degree...... No man in the world can look at her more, and Ren is father and uncle can't comment on her more......

Even if someone mentions it, a little bit of an old grudge between the father and her, the Lord will be displeased......

What will be the future of this Datang? ”

He asked, but no one could answer. I only sighed softly.

The next afternoon.

In the city of Luoyang, in the mansion of King Cao.

Hearing the intention of the eldest grandson, Cao Wang Li Ming couldn't help but widen his eyes: "You said you want to borrow a small building?" He? How can he help you? ”

The eldest grandson laughed before jokingly:

"Your Highness doesn't know that those little boys in my family are more stupid than the other, but they are not as smart and intelligent as your small building. Therefore, I thought of borrowing him to spend a few days in my house, so that I could flaunt and teach those white woodmen. ”

He said this, King Cao had no other opinion, so he stood up on the small building on one side of the waiter, and asked him if he would like to go with him?

Although the palace is gorgeous and rich, it really can't follow Changsun Ze to walk around and see. Xiao Lou was full of likes when he was young, but he didn't say it bluntly in front of the lord, so he put away his eyebrows and said:

"But according to the orders of His Highness and Prince."

When King Cao heard this, he immediately laughed and scolded:

"Clever ghosts, obviously even the soul has been hooked...... That's it, that's it. It's just that at the moment, the house is in charge of Princess Yue's sister-in-law. If you want to go out, you need to tell her. ”

Seeing that Li Ming was so cautious, Changsun Ze waited for Xiaolou to leave before he said:

"Why, that woman still embarrass you the same?"

Li Ming smiled timidly, but said:

"The princess and sister-in-law are very careful in everything for personnel, and they are the most powerful people in the palace. The so-called capable people work harder. ”

"If it is said that those who are able work harder, in my opinion, there are powerful people everywhere in the palace, and she may not be the only one." Changsun Ze snorted, but he didn't say much, he just shook his head and sighed.

After a while, Xiao Lou talked back and forth, saying that Princess Yue had agreed.

When Li Ming heard this, he was also very happy, so he ordered Xiaolou to pack his things immediately and follow Changsun Ze to Changsun Mansion.

……

A moment later.

A figure of a woman in Tsing Yi walked to Li Ming's side and said in a low voice:

"Your Highness."

King Cao turned his head, glanced at the beautiful woman in Tsing Yi, and said with a faint smile:

"Actually, whether it's Ze or Run, the two younger brothers are rare good people. It's a pity that their surname is the eldest grandson. ”

Women's Side:

"Your Highness means ......"

"I'm afraid that today's work will eventually become his mistake."

King Cao sighed and shook his head:

"Well, it's a chance for us......

Pass the order, these days, you must keep an eye on Xiaolou's whereabouts. That kid is clever, don't let anything happen to him, but you can't take it. ”

"Yes." The woman replied with a low voice, and then stepped back.

Only King Cao was left alone, looking at the sky and sighing.
