"No way!"

Chen Fei hadn't spoken yet, but Linchuan spoke first, she was gentle just now, but at the moment, she seemed to be a different person, staring at Li Zhi, and there were signs of "breaking out".

"Your Majesty! Why do you want me to go on an expedition again? Calculate carefully, from the beginning of the prime minister's entry into the court to the present, the number of expeditions is not enough? When the Tang Dynasty newly expanded its territory, Xianggong participated in almost every battle, large and small defensive battles, expeditions, why do you have to bring my Xianggong every time? Have you ever thought about how worried I am at home? This time, His Majesty wants to send the Prime Minister on an expedition, and I don't know when I will be able to come back, and I don't know what accidents will be encountered on the way to the expedition. Please also ask Your Majesty to take back your order! ”

Saying that, Linchuan actually cried, Chen Fei hurriedly hugged and comforted her, and at the same time looked at Li Zhi apologetically.

Li Zhi saw Linchuan crying, and panicked, he was just deliberately spoofing Chen Fei's joke, but he didn't expect to scare Chen Fei, Linchuan took it seriously, and was angry with himself and cried, how did this make him good?

"Don't, don't! Sister Huang, don't cry! I was just joking just now, I had just promoted Zicheng to be the servant of Shangshu Province, and the court was in need of him, how could he be sent out on an expedition? If Zicheng leaves, who will help me take care of the court? ”

Linchuan wiped his tears and looked at Li Zhi with teary eyes, "Is Your Majesty serious?" ”

Li Zhi smiled bitterly: "Seriously! Naturally, take it seriously! When did I dare to lie to the imperial sister? ”

"That's pretty much it." Linchuan was still a little unhappy, but at least he didn't cry anymore. Li Zhichang breathed a sigh of relief, and Chen Fei secretly gave a thumbs up to Linchuan.

If it weren't for Linchuan making such a fuss, he would really not be able to open his mouth to Li Zhi.

But...... Since Li Zhi mentioned the matter of the expedition, I am afraid that he wanted to ask him about the selection of the expedition generals, right?

"Your Majesty wants to discuss the expedition with your ministers?"

Li Zhi smiled: "Clever! I just want to talk to you about it. Yesterday, I received a copy from Yangzhou Thorn Shi, and the first large treasure ship has been tested and completed, and it can be put into use immediately. And after training, the sailors already have considerable combat effectiveness. It is expected that the main fleet will be completed this year, and it is very likely that by the middle of next year, all fleets will be ready. At that time, the sailor will be able to ride the wind and waves and go on an expedition to the sea. ”

Li Zhi was slightly excited, he always wanted to be like his father, expand the territory and create immortal feats. It's a pity that now that he has the strength and the treasury is sufficient, but there is no place for him to attack, this is a very embarrassing problem.

He had no strength, but nowhere to vent, which made him feel very aggrieved.

Fortunately, the expeditionary fleet proposed by Chen Fei gave him a glimmer of hope. And when his father was still alive, he also talked about the expedition, which made him see the hope of realizing his ambitions, so he would vigorously support Chen Fei to get this ocean-going fleet.

On the other hand, the establishment of the water division also illustrates the strength and wealth of the Tang Dynasty from another aspect.

You must know that the size of this fleet is almost three times that of the fleet led by Zheng He in the Western Ocean! Far from being tight, the treasury is rich! It is conceivable how strong Datang has developed over the years.

In fact, the development of Datang is inseparable from Chen Fei's promotion behind the scenes.

First of all, the experiment of high-yield hybrid rice was successful, and rice cultivation generally increased by as much as three times, which greatly solved the problem of feeding the people.

With the introduction of sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and other crops, it is not a problem for the people to have enough to eat, and it can even be said that there is so much food that they can't eat it all!

Potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn are all high-yielding species, and with hybrid rice, tsk...... Don't worry about eating anymore.

The overproduction of crops has inevitably given birth to the development of the capital market.

With the prosperity of the people, the stability of the Silk Road, the introduction of grassland horses, domestic transportation is becoming more and more convenient, and there are more and more business opportunities, so many powerful nobles or landlords have followed Chen Ji and operated their own shops or commodities in the way of brand operation.

Of course, Chen Ji is the undoubted boss in the market, not only because the brand is strong, but also because the uniqueness of the goods is irreplaceable, as well as the good quality and service, has won a good reputation, and is generally recognized by the public, so Chen Ji still occupies the market as the boss.

On the other hand, Chen Ji created a new industry "express delivery" two years ago, express delivery points in major cities across the country, the business is mainly in the same city and short-distance cross-city, solving a large number of labor force at the same time, efficient transportation is to catalyze the development of the capital market.

And the birth of more and more workshops has digested the surplus labor, and more and more people are engaged in working in workshops or large factories. The circulation of funds occupies a dominant position in the market, and the people are no longer satisfied with food and clothing, but move towards a "well-off" life.

I am afraid that no historian of later generations has ever seen such a scene - capitalist society under an authoritarian system.

Moreover, this should be the first country in the world to run to the "well-off", right?

If the people are rich and strong, how can the treasury not be abundant? It is said that in the past few years, the national treasury has expanded more than fivefold, ushering in a "blowout" growth.

After Zhenguan, Datang seemed to be on a rocket, flying higher and higher at a geometric speed.

Li Zhi looked at the treasury that was about to fill up and worried every day.

Well, there is a lot of money, and I can't spend it all, so I think when I can have a few tough battles, so as to prove it to the world - he Li Zhi, who is also an emperor who expands his territory, can also create brilliance!

But whenever he spreads out the territory, he always feels depressed. The countries on the surrounding borders were all cleaned up one by one, and the Arab and Western Turks in the distance were powerful, and it was easy to suffer losses when they traveled long distances to crusade, and the Tibetan Plateau could not adapt to it, so it ...... It really hurts!

Fortunately, Chen Fei's ocean-going plan gave him hope again, not to mention anything else, just talking about this invincible warship made him heroic, and he wished he could sit on the bow of the ship and go on an expedition!

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid the expedition will have to wait another year or two, and the minister suggests that the surrounding countries that have not yet been conquered can be cleaned up first."

Chen Fei smiled, his smile revealing a sinister taste.

"Around? Yet conquered? Where else? Could it be those small countries to the south? ”

"No, no, although the small country in the south is rich, but the army is not strong, and it is not very difficult to conquer, what the minister wants to say...... Tibet in the west! They have been entrenched on the plateau for too long, and it is time for them to be obedient! ”

"Tibet? Zicheng, Tubo is on the plateau, and the army can't adapt to the operations there at all, how can it be captured? ”

Chen Fei smiled and said, "Capture?" Who says you have to physically attack to conquer a country? ”
