"Lang Jun, the emperor has sent a telegram, let you go back to Chang'an immediately, the emperor has died!" Li Hao didn't stay long in Luoyang, and a telegram came from Chang'an that Li Er had died. This guy lived several years longer than in his previous life, but he still didn't last long.

With the death of Li Er, some of Datang's main activities were stopped. However, the time was shortened, and there was only a quiet period of one month, and the rest of the activities continued.

It seems to be saying goodbye to the older generation, not long after Li Er's death, first Qin Qiong, this door god has lived many years longer than the original history, and for him, there is nothing to regret.

After Qin Qiong left, it was Lao Wei, and then Lao Fang, these were all old ministers who followed Li Er, and now they are all of age, but they have actually lived a lot longer than the original history, and Li Hao feels that even if they pass away, it will be worth it.

went to several old ministers in a row, and for Datang, the impact was not great. Because these old ministers are now in a semi-retired state, their successors have already adapted to their respective positions for a period of time, and they have handled things in an orderly manner, and there is no chaos.

However, because of these things, Li Hao's original plan to travel around the world was delayed for another year. In this year, the railway in the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty began to operate, and the train from Chang'an went all the way to the west of the Black Sea. Then a large military base was built at the terminal, and a large amount of material and soldiers were transported here.

And the navy of the Tang Dynasty also opened the canal from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea and entered the Mediterranean. Then a large port was built at the exit of the canal near the Mediterranean, where a large amount of supplies were hoarded. Then along the Mediterranean coast to the north, to join the land Tang army on this side of the Black Sea, a third base was built.

Since then, with the Mediterranean Sea as the wire, all the territories east of here have been conquered by the Tang Dynasty, and a large number of Tang troops and officials have been sent to these places to administer. The original tribes and countries here have been scattered and resettled, and everyone has to learn the culture and beliefs of the Tang Dynasty.

This set of Tang troops has been very skilled, so those who do not obey the arrangement will be eliminated. A large number of prisoners of war were dragged to various places to build railways and dig canals, and a large number of slaves who had been tamed elsewhere were placed here, so that the population of these places was controlled in various ways.

And the rich mineral resources here have all been included in the sight of the Tang people, especially the oil here. Now that Datang's oil refining technology has developed rapidly, and the internal combustion engine project has been launched, the demand for these things is naturally greater, so these resources cannot be abandoned.

For the Tang people, they don't have to find minerals now, on the map provided by Li Hao, the various minerals of the territory that they have seized are clearly marked, and they only need to find the location marked on the map, and they don't even use it for exploration.

This saved a lot of things, and also allowed the court of the Tang Dynasty to just stare at the map, and then directly send people to those places to fight over, and then occupy the place for mining. The reason why they didn't have much interest in Europe before was that there were not many resources there, so they were not interested.

"Brother Xian, I'm afraid I'm going to let you go for a trip here, pay attention to that side. Although I Datang has inquired a lot of news over the years, as you said, there are many countries and tribes here, and only the virtuous brother knows best about this side in the entire Datang, so now I need you to go over there to preside over there. You can bring your family members with you, and when there is no fighting, you can move around, and I will give you special permission. ”

After Datang sent away some old ministers, he was preparing for domestic affairs, when a telegram came from the European side, and the base over there was attacked! For the Datang people, they have always taken the initiative to attack others all these years, when will someone attack them? This is simply Tai Sui's head breaking ground, and the entire court is blown up.

No matter what political differences there are with each other, it just so happened that the people of the Tang Dynasty had just come out of the grief of those meritorious deaths, and suddenly received this information, and they immediately became angry. Everyone gave a rare and unified reply, that is, to do it! it out with a bang.

It's just that who will preside over this war is now disputed. The older generation is definitely not good, the road is too far away. And some of the newly promoted generals, the people in the court are not very reassured, after all, this is a battle in a different place.

"Okay! Then I'll take a trip and treat it as a public expense. Li Hao nodded after hearing this, and took over the task. Li Ke has not been in power for a long time, and he is not at ease with the people below. As for Li Hao, no one in the Tang Dynasty can reassure Li Ke more than Li Hao, so the candidate Li Ke directly thought of for this kind of thing was Li Hao.

As for the war, Li Ke is not worried, hot weapons meet cold weapons, and Datang fights almost every year, and he is extremely skilled in this application. Those Europeans are still in the same state as the barbarians before, and they will definitely not be able to win against the Tang Dynasty.

But how to manage it over there, these need to be seen by Li Hao, and for Tang Jun, Li Hao's prestige has always been very high. With him here, Li Ke can rest assured, and he doesn't have to worry about those generals who are leading the army because the place is too far away and have other thoughts.

Li Hao was originally going to travel around the world, but he ran into this order again. But think about it, a trip to Europe is also a world tour, I have never been to a place in my previous life, just take a trip here, and see the scenery and humanity of Europe.

"Lang Jun, how long will it take for us to go over there this time?" After Li Hao returned to the house, he told his women, and they didn't have any opinions, but just asked Li Hao how long it would take for this trip.

"I'm afraid it will take a year or two, after conquering Europe, there will be management over there, and then the imperial court will probably develop south, and then conquer Africa. I'll have to go over there and watch it, and it will take a little longer. ”

Li Hao thought about it, I am afraid that his travel time this time will be longer. Although the place in Europe is not big, there are many tribal countries, and there is a pope, these things are more troublesome to deal with, and they must be sorted out well.

"Then Qing'er, they will stay in Chang'an, they are old, it's time to go to school to learn something systematically, and it's time for them to get along with their peers." After hearing this, Wu Shun replied that Li Qing was Li Hao's eldest son, and the eldest of them was now at an age where they could live independently.

"Yes, yes. They also have their mother-in-law and Uncle Zhong watching over here, and they can still telegraph us if there is something, and it won't take long for us to come back and take the train. It's time for them to take care of their own lives. ”

Li Hao thought about it after hearing this, and felt that he could take care of himself at this age. And over the years, Li Hao has been by his side, and Li Hao's way of educating his children is also to encourage them to do it themselves and experience the fun of practice, Li Hao feels that his children should be able to take care of themselves. However, out of his usual concept, Li Hao still called a few of them over, and then discussed this kind of thing with them to see what they thought.

"No problem! We are able to take care of ourselves! After hearing this, several children showed happy looks on their faces, and they didn't seem to follow Li Hao, which made them even happier, which made Li Hao a little disappointed. I am already slowly getting older, and I am a little reluctant to let go of my children when they grow up.

"The kids are all older and have their own ideas." On the other hand, Xiao Wu can think very well, this girl has always been very close to children. Her child also wanted to stay this time, but this girl was very supportive. In the end, except for a few daughters who continued to follow Li Hao around, all the sons stayed.

Sure enough, it's still a daughter, and the daughter is her father's intimate padded jacket. Those stinky boys are estimated to be running around with Li Hao, and they have long been tired of running, they like their own lives.

After arranging the affairs of the family, Li Hao took his wife, a few children, a group of guards and his own students, and embarked on the journey to the west.

Their time is not in a hurry, Li Hao will stop at several major stations for a while along the way, and then take his wife and children around, by the way, find some delicious food to eat. As long as you arrive at the terminal at the beginning of spring in the next year, the battle plan is arranged in the spring, the spring thunder plan.

And now it's only August, Li Ke asked Li Hao to go, originally wanted Li Hao to prepare to wait until the beginning of spring next year, but Li Hao didn't want to wait that long. The world is so big, he wants to go and see it, and if he can leave in advance, then he will leave in advance.

Otherwise, if another old minister in the imperial court dies, he can't leave, and this time will not be enough. So Li Hao arranged the affairs of the house, said hello to Li Ke, and then stepped on the westbound train.

The first stop they were going to was the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, which is now the largest political, economic, and cultural center in the Western Regions. It was also an important transit point on the Silk Road, and now a railway hub had to be added.

Li Hao will stay here for about a month, although the establishment of the Anxi Protectorate has a lot to do with Li Hao, but it is the first time he has come here. So tasting the food here and seeing the beautiful scenery here is an essential step for Li Hao.

The area around Anxi Duhufu is an important pasture of Datang, and this side is also an important grape and cotton production base of Datang. Other things were deliberately controlled by the imperial court, although the original indigenous people here have been completely domesticated by the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court here still did not let it become any grain production base.

"The teacher knows that there is a heavenly pool above the sky?" After Li Hao arrived at the Anxi Protectorate, the destination of the first stop was Tianchi. This Tianshan Tianchi, which is known as the "Pearl of the Tianshan Mountains", is a natural alpine lake. It is located halfway up the mountainside under the Bogda Peak in the eastern section of the North Tianshan Mountain, with an altitude of 1,980 meters.

And when Li Hao talked about this place, no one knew about it, which made Li Hao a little curious. Hasn't that place been discovered? It seems unlikely, but it's a place with beautiful scenery and abundant products.
