Two months later, Master Xuanzang returned, and Li Shimin led the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to personally go out of the city gate for more than ten miles to pick him up, expressing the highest and most solemn respect for this national teacher.

Then, he threw people into the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to translate Buddhist scriptures, and the monk was also sensible, and he really didn't come out without special circumstances, which saved Li Shimin a lot of heart.

Time just slipped into the thirteenth year of Zhenguan.

This year, the biggest change in Datang should be the issuance of paper money, and the issuance of paper money will inevitably require the abolition of general coupons, otherwise who will use paper money.

Inevitably, Datang's economy was shaken a lot, but after all, it was barely settled, Li Yuan also closed his eyes with a smile, and said goodbye to this world that he created single-handedly and was led to the peak by his son.

Li Yuan's death didn't even make any changes in the court situation, he died very peacefully, and Datang also greeted his death peacefully.

In addition, alfalfa has finally been successfully planted on a large scale under the vigorous promotion of the imperial court, the output of the horse farm in Datang has doubled, and the common people have lived a good life where at least the elderly can eat meat.

All this is naturally inseparable from the strong support of Persia, and now the Persian Empire has completely fallen to the side of the Tang Dynasty, and the Persian prince even led a large number of elites to Chang'an to guard Li Shi's homestay, and he is always willing to ask Qin Hao for a drink if he has nothing to do.

The situation in Tibet, under the iron-fisted rule of Hou Junji, has completely changed, and the people of Tubo know that compared with the special Hou Junji, the warrior Tong is simply the special virgin.

During his lifetime, Wu Shi Tong had always been concerned about restoring the four counties of the Han Dynasty, and planting cotton extensively in the land of the Western Regions to attract the self-sufficiency of the soldiers.

There is certainly no shortage of land, and cotton seeds are not a rare thing now, as before, there is a shortage of people, to be precise, there is a shortage of slaves.

At this time, those Tibetan captives were miserable, they were all thrown by Hou Junji to plant cotton, the key is that they don't know how to plant, and they have to be whipped to death every day.

The new Panchen was canonized by Li Shimin, and the Panchen and Zampu are a dualistic political structure, which can effectively prevent anyone from becoming dominant, as long as the right to canonize is in the hands of the imperial court, this place will sooner or later become a sacred and inseparable part.

The problem is that even if the Tibetan captives went to plant cotton, it still didn't seem to be enough, and then, Hou Junji set his sights on the Western Turks, and then, the cotton was planted, and Hou Junji is now happily building Wuwei County.

However, the Western Turks are different from the Southern Zhao, people have never been weak, in the atmosphere of the same hatred and hatred, everyone finally decided to turn the gun to the outside world and drive away the Tang invaders, and then, the Western Turks were actually unified, and they magically counted Xue Yantuo, so that Hou Junji and his mother didn't know him.

All of this has nothing to do with Qin Hao, he is not a military attaché, the Western Turks in history are indeed a big enemy, but it is nothing to the current Tang Dynasty, he is just quietly waiting for Wang Qi to hang up, he can take over the position of other people's families, it is said that this day should not be far away, I heard that the old man is now seriously ill, when he saw Wei Zheng a few days ago, he still felt very sad for his old friend to go.

However, a series of chain reactions caused by the Western Turks were not allowed to be mixed in by Qin Hao.

The thing is this, almost at the same time that the Western Turks launched an attack on Hou Junji, on the sea, the Tang fleet finally collided with the Arabs, the reason for which was to compete for spices.

In fact, this kind of thing is not once or twice, everyone is doing business on the sea, how can there be tongues that do not touch teeth, which year does not fight seven or eight naval battles feel shortcomings, but the scale is always not large, only at the level of civil commercial disputes, the two sides also have each other's victories and defeats, not to talk about who suffers and who takes advantage.

But this time, I don't know if the generals on the other side drank too much, and after a small victory, they actually hit the idea on Datang's concession in Southeast Asia.

Because Datang is closer to Southeast Asia after all, so the spices are basically controlled by Datang, and Datang is now popular in the construction of concessions, so the vicinity of the Strait of Malacca is now all the concessions of the Qing Gang.

The combat effectiveness of the Qing Gang is no secret, especially on land, not to mention a rabble, at least it is far from being the opponent of the big cannibals, so the two concessions of the Tang Dynasty were slaughtered.

The news came back to Chang'an, which was tantamount to a big mouth slapped Li Shimin's face left and right, which made him completely angry, since he captured Jieli alive in the Battle of Yinshan, he has never had the Tang Dynasty to slaughter others, when did people bully people like this?

So Zhang Liang led most of the main force of the Tang Qing Gang to set off, it is said that he wanted to destroy the barbarians who jumped out of nowhere, although Li Shimin also reminded that the big food should not be underestimated, but people didn't seem to take it to heart, regret it shouldn't be, Qin Hao also went upside down to support others, and exaggerated the power of the big food, so that Zhang Liang felt that his position as the governor of the water division was provoked by Qin Hao's eyes, in order to prove to Qin Hao that he was the boss of the Qing Gang, a fierce son went to Southeast Asia.

And then, isn't this kneeling in the great temple?

The First World War lost a small half of the warships and soldiers, was killed by the big cannibals and lost their armor, and completely withdrew from Southeast Asia, which can be called the biggest fiasco since Zhenguan, and the internal opinions of the Qing Gang are naturally not small, and the collective demand that Zhang Liang must leave class, if he does not agree, it is not unusual for this gang of goods to mutiny.

In fact, why still use the Qinggang to ask for it, Li Shimin is now eager to tear Zhang Liang alive, although in the end he didn't kill him for the sake of his hard work, but it is certain that he will be released to Lingnan in the end.

How else to say that this is a chain reaction, this naval battle was lost like this at the same time, the land of the Great Food was not idle, a strong army of 300,000 attacked Persia almost at the same time, and when Persia asked for support from the Tang Dynasty, the Western Turkic tribe suddenly abandoned Xining City and directly hit the Hexi Corridor, completely blocking the communication between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions.

Then, Li Shimin, who had high blood pressure, lay down unsteadily, and it is said that he almost didn't pass.

The reason why Datang can have today's prosperity, in addition to the outbreak and growth of several new crops, all rely on two legs to walk, one is the sea route to the south, and the other is the Silk Road pulled out by camels to the west.
