Li Shimin's Emperor Xiaode is actually the Emperor Xiaode of the Wa Kingdom, and he is also the sixteenth emperor of the Chrysanthemum Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom.

During his reign, he carried out political and economic reforms, and comprehensively studied the Tang Dynasty, which was known as "Dahua Reform" in history.

It is precisely because of Emperor Kotoku that the Wa Kingdom has changed from a slave society to a feudal society, and as far as the Wa Kingdom is concerned, this person's merits can be said to be indelible.

And in this period, the Wa Kingdom is also the hardcore little brother of the Tang Dynasty, no matter what is the only one in the Tang Dynasty, he is obedient and obedient, and he can be called a "good son of the Tang Dynasty".

Later, Emperor Kotoku died, and the tenth generation of Emperor Qi Ming inherited his will of "treating the Tang Dynasty as his father", so there was nothing excessive about the Wa Kingdom.

But by the time of the eighteenth Emperor Tenchi, the Wa Kingdom was restless.

It may be that he thinks that Emperor Xiaode became the son of the Tang Dynasty, and Emperor Qi Ming became the grandson of the Tang Dynasty, so he doesn't want to be a great-grandson, he wants to be a grandfather!

It's a pity that there is always a huge gap between the ideal and the reality, even if the Wa Kingdom united with Baekje at that time and gathered more than 40,000 sailors and more than 1,000 warships, but it was still abused into dogs by Liu Renliang's more than 10,000 sailors.

After such an incident, Emperor Tenchi finally recognized the facts, and he felt that it was actually quite good to be a great-grandson.

If it is according to the normal historical development, the Wa Kingdom will naturally be able to be the son and grandson of the Tang Dynasty in peace, but it is a pity that Gao Ming appeared.

As a traverser, although Gao Ming is not an angry youth, he does not have any good impression of the Japanese people, in the final analysis, it is still the old saying - if you are not of my race, your heart will be different!

A wolf is a wolf, even if it sticks out its tongue and wagging its tail at you one moment, who can guarantee that it won't pounce on you and bite your neck the next moment?

As an island country, land resources are scarce, and their living conditions determine that they will not be in a safe corner, and once they have a meeting, they will show their hideous fangs!

As a person who has come over, Gao Ming knows the nature of the Wa Kingdom better than anyone else, so he asked Hou Junji to pretend to be a pirate to attack the Wa Kingdom, the purpose is to cut the grass and eradicate the roots before it is strong!

Judging from now, Hou Junji is doing a good job!

Thinking of this, Gao Ming's face couldn't help but smile.

Li Shimin was still wondering, but suddenly seeing Gao Ming smiling so brightly, a trace of suspicion suddenly flashed on his face.

"Gao Ming, do you have something to hide from me?"

"Huh?"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Gao Ming immediately shook his head.

"No, no, although the islands of the Japanese country are rich in gold and silver resources, as well as rich in fishery resources, but I am not greedy at all, let people pretend to be pirates to attack them, and want to take advantage of such a great thing as annexing the island country, do you think it looks like I did it?"

Li Shimin: "......"

Originally, Li Shimin was still a little unsure, but after hearing Gao Ming's words, he was quite sure that this was the thing!

After figuring this out, the corners of Li Shimin's mouth twitched twice again, and he swung towards Gao Ming.

"Okay, it's okay, you go back first!"

"Yes!"

Hearing that Li Shimin asked him to go back, Gao Ming immediately agreed, and then walked out, but he had only walked a few steps before he heard Li Shimin's voice coming from behind him again.

"That...... Gao Ming, you said that there is a lot of gold and silver in the Wa Kingdom, is this true? ”

Hearing Li Shimin's question, Gao Ming suddenly stopped, and then turned his head and grinned at Li Shimin.

"Hehe, is that fake? If it can be mined in its entirety, it is conservatively estimated that the amount will be at least ten times more than the Goguryeo booty! ”

“(⊙⊙)…”

As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Li Shimin's eyes suddenly widened, and his eyes were full of shock.

The spoils brought back by Gao Ming from Goguryeo before, Li Shimin has already asked people to count them, and if all these goods are converted into copper coins, they are definitely worth more than 14 million yuan, which is equivalent to the tax revenue of the Tang Dynasty for four years.

But now Gao Ming said that the amount of gold and silver on the islands of the Japanese Kingdom is more than ten times this, so isn't it more than 140 million yuan?

Thinking of this number, Rao is Li Shimin is calm enough, but his heart still can't help but beat wildly.

"Even when Yang Jian was alive, he didn't have so much money, right? If I have all this money, what will I do with it? What do you think? ”

"Hmm...... Well...... this."

Hearing Li Shimin suddenly ask himself, Gao Ming was stunned for a moment, and then he also frowned and remembered, muttering while thinking about it.

"Since we have exempted half of the peasants' taxes, we will be exempted from all the money when we have it, but with the supplement of the commercial tax, it seems that we will not need this money...... As for the palace, it was just renovated at the beginning of the year, and there is no need to repair it, speaking of which, it seems that there is really no place for money, or take it to repair the Great Wall, what do you think? ”

Gao Ming originally thought that his suggestion was very good, but what he didn't expect was that as soon as his words fell, Li Shimin looked at him in surprise.

"Build the Great Wall? Why build the Great Wall? ”

"Because...... Uh......"

Gao Ming originally planned to say that he would build the Great Wall to defend against foreign enemies, but before the words came out, he realized a question - is there still a foreign enemy in Datang today?

The Great Wall was built to defend against the invasion of northern nomads, and in successive dynasties, it did play a great role, so basically every dynasty expanded or repaired the Great Wall to a greater or lesser extent.

However, Datang is not there.

The Tang Dynasty is the only dynasty in the past dynasties that has not repaired and expanded the Great Wall, not because the Tang Dynasty is too poor, but because the Tang Dynasty is too strong!

Since Taiyuan started the army, the army of the Tang Dynasty is like a hanging, arresting and scolding anyone along the way, and it only took about ten years to unify the whole country, which has to be said to be a miracle in the era of cold weapons.

After Li Shimin became emperor, there was no one to be afraid of in the country, so Li Shimin aimed at the Turks who had bullied him, and finally "invited" the Turkic Jieli Khan to Chang'an.

Datang is too fierce, and the small tribes in the north have been scared, not to mention crossing the Great Wall to rob Datang, they are even more worried that Datang will cross the Great Wall to rob them.

At this point, the Great Wall is basically useless, let alone Li Shimin, even the people of the Tang Dynasty have never thought of building it.

After thinking about this, Gao Ming suddenly showed a wry smile, and then shook his head helplessly.

"Okay, it's my mistake, don't build the Great Wall, let's rebuild the road, as the saying goes, if you want to get rich, build the road first, and when you get the money, let's take Chang'an as our heart and build dozens of roads leading to various places, what do you think of this idea?"

"Hmm!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Shimin immediately nodded.

"Yes, the road must be repaired, as long as the road is clear, my soldiers and horses can come morning and evening, who dares to rebel? When I get the money from the Wa Kingdom, I will not only build roads, but also build a north-south Grand Canal, which is bigger, longer, and wider than Yang Guang's! ”

Looking at Li Shimin's excited face, Gao Ming suddenly grinned.

"Now the Wa Kingdom must be over!"
