Chapter 503: Expanding the Territory is Not the Northwest

Zhang Xiaobao didn't answer Wang Juan's words.

The word is in the Tang Dynasty, not in the Japanese language, if it is used, Zhang Xiaobao really can't understand, don't look at the language he knows, but there are few who can really write, and now sometimes the Japanese speak fast and he can't hear clearly.

Wang Juan is stronger than him, but he still can't write the current Japanese characters, and people outside the Tang Dynasty have a hard time talking and listening, this is still a good foundation for the two of them, together they can contain half of the world's languages at that time, the official language, if you change to an ordinary person, you have to be blind when you come.

Seeing Zhang Xiaobao reading the letter, Wang Juan also came up, read it line by line, and after reading it, he said: "It's nothing, just let him take care of the officials of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites, and find a way to rent our steam engine ships and gunboats, which is normal." ”

"It's normal, it's not normal, doesn't he know the benefits of those two kinds of ships? Why repeat it? And it was someone else's news that passed on to him, what does this mean? Your superiors talk to you twice at the same time on one thing, and you can't think about it? ”

Zhang Xiaobao took the letter back again, looked at the direction where Junichiro Takeshita left, and finally did not chase after him to return the letter.

Wang Juan pulled Zhang Xiaobao to continue shopping, and said as he walked: "What else can it be, pay attention to it, I want to learn technology secretly, and then develop slowly, and then attack us when I have the strength, it is normal, the nation that does not know how to learn has long disappeared, and such a small place in Japan has not been colonized, so I have to admire." ”

Listening to Wang Juan's words, Zhang Xiaobao thought about it and nodded, "Indeed, I also admire it, but admiration doesn't mean that I don't have to deal with it, they can really endure it, just like now, in order to survive, you can do without dignity or personality, and feel like a wolf."

Oh, when I talk about Japan, I think of Taiwan, and I don't know if the natural scenery there is the same as ours at that time, such as Sun Moon Lake, Yushan Yun, just developed together, and then let the people of Datang go around, and the resources there are also good, especially aquatic resources. ”

"yes, I haven't been there for a long time, do you really want to go? Then bring some gifts, let the local chieftain accept us sincerely or something, and then slowly teach them the script. ”

Wang Juan also wants to see what Taiwan is like now, she heard that some people go there to do business, in fact, it is to exchange things, take advantage of others, who let the people in that place not have good skills, send a porcelain jar or something, can exchange a lot of pearls or mountain treasures from the local area.

The locals have a very hard life, of course, in the eyes of outsiders, maybe the locals still think it's good, people who have never seen an airplane will never envy the people who take the plane for thousands of miles.

The two of them walked, and saw a shop selling clothes next to them, and walked in along the road, and there were very few clothes on display, most of them were pieces of cloth, and if others wanted to sell them, they would make them in a bare order.

Zhang Xiaobao absentmindedly stretched out his hand to pinch the corner of a piece of cloth, turned his head and said to Wang Juan: "It's not bad to open a ready-to-wear store there, the locals should like it, especially the canvas one, durable, strong, not as strong as the local hemp or leaves, and then you can make money." ”

Wang Juan first waved his hand to the guy who was going to come over to say hello, signaling that people should not care, and then he figured out Zhang Xiaobao's words and said, "You want to exchange canvas for local things?" There are relatively few metal mines there, so you don't want to cut down all other people's trees, do you? Otherwise, what do you change? Whose money is it earning? ”

"What tree to cut? I'm going to keep it pristine except for building a few ports there and the buildings around them, and who said that if you give them something, you have to exchange supplies with them? It can also be labor.

Just like in the ethnic minority areas in the future, there are special programs to entertain others, and then make money and become professional, where locals can also let tourists feel another ethnic customs, eat some local things, enjoy the local scenery, and if conditions permit, let the locals accompany them to hunt. ”

Zhang Xiaobao's eyes were staring at a certain place, but in fact, he didn't see what that place was at all, he was distracted, he told Wang Juan about his imagination in his mouth, and raised his other hand and lightly touched his face.

Wang Juan was moved by what Zhang Xiaobao said, and was ready to support him, when he suddenly remembered Zhang Xiaobaolu's stealing technique before, which instantly overlapped the image of Zhang Xiaobao and an international fraudster.

"Husband~~!" Wang Juan's voice changed, soft and sweet, which made Zhang Xiaobao tremble, and his distracted eyes regained focus, and he looked at Wang Juan in surprise.

"Husband, tell the concubine, was it an official who deceived like this in the first place? Draw a pie and say it the same as the real thing. Wang Juan asked with his mouth close to Zhang Xiaobao's ear.

"Huh?" Zhang Xiaobao dodged to the side and whispered, "Are you accusing?" I don't admit it, you don't have evidence now. ”

"Cut, do you still use evidence to arrest you? It's not easy to get evidence, grab it first, as soon as several drugs are used, you will naturally say everything, what you told me, do you have to tell Li Longji too? ”

Wang Juan leaned towards Zhang Xiaobao again and threatened.

"How did you know I was going to find Li Longji?" Zhang Xiaobao was a little scared, and it was not so comfortable to be understood.

"I'm your wife, you were distracted and flashed your face just now, who are you calculating? It can't be a calculation of the current Taiwanese residents, right? They are not worthy of your big thoughts, naturally they are Li Longji, what do you want to exchange with him? ”

Wang Juan almost squeezed Zhang Xiaobao against the wall, but he still refused to let go.

"Li Longji is worthy of me? Then you really underestimate me, I just thought of the fact that Taiwan has been colonized by many countries, and every colonization is to open the way by force. ”

Zhang Xiaobao looked at Wang Juan's pretty face and wanted to kiss it hard, but the guy was staring at it inadvertently with a vigilant gaze, and Zhang Xiaobao was embarrassed no matter how thick-skinned he was.

"You want to colonize Taiwan civilly?"

"What am I colonizing it for, it's so close, there will naturally be people going there then, how can I push it, you'll know when I carry out the plan, go, enter the palace, and talk to Li Longji."

Zhang Xiaobao said, took Wang Juan's hand and walked out, and when he passed by the guy, he said to the guy: "Is there a pearl yarn?" ”

"No, that kind of thing can't be entered in our store, it's better to look at the yarn in Suzhou." The guy shook his head and replied.

"Hey, don't look at it, I wanted to buy some pearl yarn, let's go, go to the next one." Zhang Xiaobao regretfully threw down his sentence and walked out of the door with Wang Juan.

The guy in the back showed a look of disdain and muttered: "If you don't have money, you say you don't have money, and you can buy pearl yarn?" Death to save face. ”

When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan found Li Longji in Xingqing Palace, Li Longji was taking Concubine Wu Hui and Empress Wang to look at the map, which to be precise contained the sand tables of various places in the country.

Pointing and pointing, with a posture of the country under control, the two queens were full of admiration, and from time to time they echoed each other, which made Li Longji even more excited.

Maybe he deliberately said it to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, who had just arrived, Li Longji did not turn to look at the two people, but pointed to the sand table and told Concubine Wu Hui and Queen Wang.

"Here, Luo Some City, is already my Datang land, connected with the Longyou Road above, and the Longyou Road is connected with the original Turkic place, plus here, the northern part of Hebei Province, and an island in the sea, now it belongs to the Tang Dynasty, but continue to the west and north, and I Datang and I pass, when can it be unified?"

Li Longji drew the territory of Datang with a stroke of his big hand, and when he said where it was Datang, his waist was straight, and he said that the place that had not yet been divided into the territory showed regret between his eyebrows.

Queen Wang and Concubine Wu Hui are not stupid, they know that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are here, what the emperor said just now is the customs and customs of various places, and this topic will become how much territory it is, obviously it is for Zhang Xiaobao and the others.

Queen Wang was the first to speak, "Your Majesty wants to expand the territory, then you have to wait for the stability of the place you join, that Longyou Road is different from the original Tibetan Turks, and the knots in it are not very smooth to manage the locals, and there is a monopoly power, should it be stable and say?" ”

Concubine Wu Hui said another set of words, "What my sister said is also right, however, didn't Longyou Dao give Zhang and Wang Wang a piece of land?" Especially that lake, I think it won't take too long, it will reassure Your Majesty, and because of this, when you take the opportunity to continue to fight for the west and the north, you will be exhausted. ”

As soon as Zhang Xiaobao saw this posture, he picked up Wang Juan and walked outside, neither the west nor the north is easy to fight, what kind of climate is suitable for adaptation?

"Xiaobao and Juanjuan, when did you two arrive? How do I not know? Where is this going? Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't take five steps before Li Longji's voice came.

Zhang Xiaobao stopped, turned his head, and said to Li Longji: "The minister has just listened to what His Majesty is thinking about, and is willing to share his worries for His Majesty, to prepare grain and grass, fight through the vast snow-capped mountains, set foot on the icy land, and preach His Majesty's holy grace to the locals. ”

"Ugh! This is not necessary, I am not in a hurry, I am not in a hurry, it is better to defend first, I don't know Xiaobao, you two are coming, what is the matter? ”

As soon as Li Longji heard that so many people were going to die about two-thirds of the time, he immediately changed his tune.

"It's not a big deal, whether the minister wants to occupy a few islands in the southeast, and I don't want His Majesty's ambition to be on it, let's think about the northwest."

Zhang Xiaobao walked to the sand table, pulled on the sand table, and said.
