Li Chunfeng looked at Li Hong and strengthened his opinion, but if this happened, it would be a lot worse than the minimum goal of him and Cui Zhiyan, originally according to their plan, they would build at least seven of the same giant ships.

If it is seven giant ships, in this way, at least it can be guaranteed that three of them are in the dock for renovation, and four have been cruising on the sea, protecting the safety of Datang's merchant ships and fishermen.

But now the prince's words have completely stifled their hopes, leaving no chance at all, so that their originally generous coastal defense plan suddenly becomes overstretched.

And if Li Chunfeng wants to go to sea, it is impossible to complete it with only one giant ship, and at least two giant ships are needed to cruise together, so in this way, there are only three ships that Datang can use, and there are only two ships left that can cruise on the sea for a long time.

Li Hong naturally knew what they were thinking, smiled and said: "Sometimes it is not necessary to cruise on the sea every day to deter some Fanbang who have a thief heart towards my Datang, as long as they seize the opportunity to completely annihilate them, next time they will not dare to come to my Datang coastal area to do whatever they want, so that you can drive your giant ship on his doorstep and beat him up, in this way, hehe, do you think they will still approach my Datang sea?" ”

"But in this case, Your Highness, it will be detrimental to the benevolence and virtue of my Datang, but I am afraid that in the end, all countries are only afraid of my Datang, and there is no respect." Cui Zhibian knew that the executor of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's strategy, if as expected, would naturally fall on him.

But in this way, not to mention whether he will be impeached by his colleagues in the court, I am afraid that foreign envoys will continue to complain to the Tang Dynasty and His Majesty, and it will be the prince who will be embarrassed and pressured at that time.

What's more, now His Majesty has a faint meaning of Zen, at this juncture, should His Royal Highness the Crown Prince focus on the policy of Huai Rou, supplemented by military conquest and deterrence.

Li Hong smiled again and said, "Where are you not afraid?" Do you think that with a generous mind, you can make the barbarians from all over the world respect my Tang Dynasty? If it can, why does the Wa State send envoys every year, hoping to send Yan to study in the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time harass the people along our coast? Where is the respect of the Wa Kingdom for my Tang Dynasty? ”

"This is not the result of your refusal to let the country come to my Tang Dynasty to study in the past few years." Cui Zhifen lowered his head and muttered.

"Even if I open the door to the country and let them come in to study, it won't change their character of wolf ambition! I'll also tell you, the first thing you have to do in the next two days is to drive the giant ship to the Japanese kingdom to show off your might, and if you can't get back 10 million taels of silver, you will keep the giant ship around the Japanese kingdom until they have collected 10 million taels of silver, and then you will come back. Li Hong put down the teacup angrily and said in a cold voice: "Also, how did our ship sink do you know it?" If we have in our hands the charts of the Japanese Kingdom in the past few years, and know where the sea reefs going to the Japanese Kingdom are located, will we silence a ship in exchange for the still nautical charts? kept saying that let me follow the etiquette of benevolence and virtue, but the Wa Kingdom was not even stingy with a pair of charts and was unwilling to give me the Tang Dynasty, why should I teach them my knowledge of the Tang Dynasty? If you want to learn, you can, or that sentence, a thousand taels of silver, no matter if you eat or live, you can send as many as you want! ”

Li Hong's angry words, the reprimanded Cui Zhifen was speechless, lowered his head and stopped talking, of course he knew that what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said was the truth, and he also understood His Royal Highness the Prince's approach, but now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is at a critical moment, and he really shouldn't make enemies everywhere.

Internal and external troubles followed, if it continued like this, Cui Zhibian was afraid that the prince would make a mistake, and if he missed the whole plan, it would be worth the loss if he lost everything.

"Your Highness is angry, Brother Cui is loyal to you, but I am afraid that at this time, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and I am afraid that you will ......." Li Chongyi saw that the atmosphere was a little dull because Li Hong reprimanded Cui Zhiyan, so he played a round lane.

"If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan? You have been putting up with it, shackled by this sentence, how can I make Datang truly obey all nations? It's because of this bullshit that if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, how many excellent fighters have I delayed, and how many excellent opportunities to raze other countries have been delayed? One by one, do you really think that the big monkey is the wealth of a few fish? If it's just a few fish, I'll sit by the West Lake and raise fish, and I'll be fighting for the sea! Li Hong shook off Bai Chun's comforting hand and continued to say coldly.

"Cui Zhizhi is my Tang Dynasty after Zhang Liang, the only serious naval governor, how prosperous the maritime trade is, no less than the Hexi Corridor, and Anxi is called the Silk Road's huge business opportunities, Dengzhou, Quanzhou, Guangzhou, you don't know the value of the commercial goods transported from the sea every year? How many imported goods are transported to our Datang every year, and how many of my Datang's goods are sold from the port to other countries? Have you ever counted all this money? If the near and far seas around my Datang are controlled by my Datang, and all the waterways are patrolled by my Datang ships, how much wealth will be added in this way? With the accumulation of wealth, not to mention anything else, I will be able to prune out a fairy palace for the West Lake at my door< and those people living in dire straits in the state can also live a prosperous and healthy life because of the Tang Dynasty. Rats are blind, they only know etiquette, they don't know that the people are in dire straits, and if you go on like this, you will always be a frog at the bottom of the well, and sooner or later one day people's strong ships and cannons will hit our land! ”

At this time, it was no longer Cui Zhizhi who frowned alone, even Li Chongyi, Li Chunfeng, and Bai Chun all looked calm and listened to the training.

After a short silence in the tea room, Li Chunfeng and Cui Zhibian did not dare to speak at this time, and Bai Chun also became well-behaved because of Li Hong's anger, and naturally did not dare to speak casually by snuggling to the side.

Only Li Chongyi squeezed out a smile on his face, and said in a dry tone: "Your Highness is angry, what you are talking about is a problem that the ministers have never thought about, for a while, the ministers can't make a decision, but the ministers believe that His Highness is so insistent on doing it, obviously not for himself, but for the sake of my Tang Dynasty, and the ministers admire it." As His Royal Highness said, there is no fear of where the respect comes from, the minister deeply agrees, His Royal Highness reprimanded today, the minister must keep it in mind. ”

"Your Royal Highness, the minister's short-sightedness is true, today's words of His Royal Highness woke up the minister's heart, and also made the minister understand, above the sea, my Datang should be in it, where to stand In the past two years, I was fortunate to see the merchants of the Great Food Country land in Guangzhou to my Datang, and the minister had already determined that they were strong at sea, but the minister never went to his heart, thinking that as long as my Datang Iron Horse was strong, he Dashi would not dare to think about my Datang, and now that I think about it, the minister thinks too simply." Cui Zhifen got up sincerely and saluted Li Hong, and said heavily.

Li Chunfeng also sighed, and said heavily: "What His Highness said is extremely true, if it weren't for the continuation of the Wa Kingdom, the minister would not have been silent about a giant ship because of the distance from reaching the Wa Kingdom, if we can get the sea charts of the Wa Kingdom, the four giant ships we sank will all go south in unison, and it is even possible that they will really go to the continent that Your Highness said." ”

"It's early, if you want to get there, with today's sailing speed, plus the unfamiliar channel, you can't get down in three or five months, but this matter is not urgent, and it is not urgent, there is a rubber tree there, which is a necessary item for further improving the air spinning ball, so in a few days, you can set off, the two giant ships are under your full command, this trip, you Li Chunfeng wants people to give people, ask for money to give money, I Li Hongquan will hold you!" Li Hong took the tea poured by Cui Zhifen and said lightly.

"Thank you Your Highness, but now there are five giant ships, and two of them are installed in the Quanzhou dockyard, I'm afraid it will take a while." Li Chunfeng said with a regretful expression.

"Isn't that easy? You and Cui Zhifen led one ship, and went to the Wa Kingdom to ask for travel expenses and compensation, so come and go, and after returning to Quanzhou, I think those two ships can also get out of the dock, right? At that time, Cui Zhifen renovated for two months, and then continued to go south. Li Hong found that after being reprimanded by himself, the brains of these people became a little sluggish because of his anger.

When Li Chongyi and Bai Chun heard Li Hong's words and wanted to go to the Wa Kingdom to ask for some silver for the travel expenses, they couldn't help laughing, but Cui Zhifen and Li Chunfeng looked a little embarrassed.

There is no doubt that the prince's words are with the robbers, although this is the reason, because the Wa Kingdom made the Tang Dynasty silent a huge ship in vain, and it is necessary to ask for silver, but don't say it so bluntly, okay?

Just like the restraint when everyone goes to the market to buy and sell for the first time, before the first shout is shouted, whether it is in the heart or on the face, there will be a trace of embarrassment written on it, and it is difficult to open the mouth to shout.

But when he mustered up the courage to shout out the first shout, then this person can be regarded as truly entering the market, integrating into the market, and becoming a qualified vendor.

And now, Cui Zhibian and Li Chunfeng are like the first time they walked into the city to shout, and they almost shouted out in their first voices.

So the two of you, you look at me, I look at you, and they both see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in each other's eyes, this is "forcing good people to be prostitutes"! But what can be done, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, this is the reason, isn't it just ugly.

Think about the pirates of the Japanese Kingdom, from time to time robbing and plundering the wealth and fishermen of the coastal people of the Tang Dynasty, and personally coming to them to ask for money to spend, it is impossible for them not to give it, right?

If you don't give it, as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, then drive the boat around the country until you give the money and then come back.

(ps: Thank you for the blood of the stars for helping to name it, just use Chen Qinghan, which is also in line with Chen Jingzhi's style, thank you very much!) ）
