Li Er's every sentence was very profound, and all the foreign envoys present could slowly raise questions after careful consideration, and the entire banquet hall was decorated with joyful atmosphere to conduct bilateral conversations between many countries.

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, my Nanyi lord has always admired the Tang culture, the top and bottom of the Nanyi country are all descendants of the Han people, before the foreign minister sent the Tang Dynasty, the lord of the country has confessed, my country will definitely establish diplomatic relations with the Tang Dynasty, a few days ago, the conditions for establishing diplomatic relations put forward by the Heavenly Horse can be met in the short term, and my country does not restrict the Tang Dynasty merchants from entering our country, and unconditionally provide the protection and protection of the Tang Dynasty merchants who enter our country, I don't know how much controlled items can I get from the Tang Dynasty?"

The name of the person who spoke was Xu Jiangpu, who was originally a big businessman in the south of the Yangtze River, and his business was very large, but when Yanglin went down to Jiangnan, he had already gone to sea to operate, and he returned for two years, and he did not take the first ship of the new commercial development in the south of the Yangtze River. started to be the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce's second-way dealer to overseas and overseas to Jiangnan, what Yang Lin may not know is that when his army has not yet driven from Lingnan to Jiaozhi, this person's footprints have already been to the Nanyang countries.

Later, by chance, Xu Jiangpu met Dou Yingshan at sea, his fleet was merchant ships, and the number was relatively large. In the end, negotiations began, and the two hit it off and started to think about building a country overseas. Therefore, a person with money, supply routes, and advanced equipment such as water ships and Shenwei cannons quickly opened up the situation in the Taiwan Strait area, and established the Nanyi Kingdom in two years, and Dou Yingshan became the king. This person is in the prime minister's position.

"Nanyi Country, is it a small country made by that kid from Dou Yingshan? In this way, it can be regarded as acquaintance, and we will seize our warship. The grudge against the Tang soldiers who hurt me, I can not worry about him for the time being. Li Er didn't say much, but thought carefully about the information about the Nanyi Kingdom that the officials of Honglu Temple had collected from Xu Jiangpu these days.

"Hehe, the foreign minister thanks His Majesty for his magnanimity on behalf of the lord of the country. However, the native area of my Nanyi country is thousands of miles. There are hundreds of large and small islands, and the population is more than one million, but it is not a small country, among the countries present, in addition to the Tang Dynasty, in terms of territory and population, I am afraid that only Tubo and Tianzhu are slightly larger than my Nanyi country, if the Tang Dynasty establishes diplomatic relations with our country. The harvest will certainly not be less. ”

When Xu Jiangpu talked about the capital of Nanyi Kingdom, he had a little smug on his face. Thinking that the Wa country, just has a water steamer, it can achieve unification in a short period of time, and there is a tendency to develop outward, and the Nanyi country, in addition to having a water steamer, also has some Shenwei cannons and gunpowder shells, although they dare not overconsume it for a big war, but it is also rapidly expanding outward, not only controlling the entire Taiwan Island waters, but also the meaning of developing and opening up to the countries of the South Seas, once this person has a firm foothold in the sea, his heart begins to become very big, maybe it will not be many years, they will be able to discover the Philippines, Plain and white to acquire a large piece of land and the indigenous population.

"With a population of more than 1 million, it is worth handing over, if you can meet all the conditions for establishing diplomatic relations proposed by my Datang, and really do what you just said, to ensure the safety of my Datang businessmen in the Taiwan Strait, then it doesn't hurt for Datang to sell you some controlled items, the giant level of water steamers, it can be said that it is the largest water ship in Datang, it is used to make warships, or merchant ships, Datang doesn't care about you, one hundred thousand, up to ten ships are sold to you every year, such a low price, Your lord must be satisfied! ”

Li Erso thought about it for a while and replied. The reason why the hydroship is strong at sea is because it has a strong draft and wind resistance, and it is very bullish when it is used for military purposes, because it can be installed with a large number of Shenwei cannons, or carry nearly a thousand soldiers, the defense is in place, the attack power is full, and it is difficult to be sunk, but the cost of a wooden hydro ship without installing Shenwei cannons is not high, and the three-thousand-ton hydro ship is now called a giant by the world, and the shipyard has already formed a systematic construction program for the production of the giant, which can not only be produced quickly. And the total cost is only one or two hundred thousand, they can build dozens of them in a year, but this kind of super ship Datang has never been sold to the outside world, generally used for government transportation or equipment warships, and measured by the cost of Datang's original battleship Wuya ship, the cost of this big ship is at least 100,000 to 200,000 yuan, because, with manpower rowing, and the load of less than 1,000 tons of Wuya ship cost has reached 50,000 yuan, this has an automatic water wheel system, two or three times larger than the ship, How can it be cheap.

Hearing this, the envoys of many coastal countries showed envy, because there are many giant-level Tang warships parked on the moat and Yangjiang Canal, and the ship's side as high as a city tower looks majestic, and the general wind has made it difficult for such a big ship to shake in the slightest, they would never have thought that it would be so simple for Datang, which is gradually moving towards industrialization, to build a wooden ship. This is much greater than sending troops to destroy him.

Xu Jiangpu naturally doesn't understand the truth, the general ledger of the top ten factories in the east and west is not something that ordinary people can read, even if they show them, they may not understand, since the emperor has made a promise, then it is a sure thing, no one is more eager for a huge and reliable ship than a person who has walked on the sea for most of his life, Xu Jiangpu almost walked out of the seat with the fastest speed and the most respectful attitude, and solemnly bowed to Li Shimin.

"No, our Wa Kingdom is also willing to establish diplomatic relations with the Tang Dynasty, provide protection to the Tang Dynasty merchants, and even give the privilege of all the Tang Dynasty merchants and nobles who go to the Wa Kingdom, and ask the Emperor Xià to sell the water steamer to our Wa Kingdom."

Abe Jiuchang is the most valued heir of Abe Jun of the Wa Kingdom, and he is also the most talented person in the Wa Kingdom, he knows the power of the Big Mac at sea best, the water ship they snatched back in Datang a few years ago has belonged to the technology eliminated by the Da Tang Dynasty, and now the private merchant ships coming and going on the Datang River are mostly that type of water steamers, but more than 10,000 values, and the Ju Mu making process is another level, the Wa Kingdom and the Nanyi Kingdom are rampant on the sea, and naturally there have been some frictions, and the result is of course that the Nanyi Kingdom wins, Because Nanyi has the warships that Yanglin personally supervised when he was in Lingnan, and now they have the highest new technology ship in Datang, then it is conceivable that Nanyi will definitely crush the Wa State to death, and even when the conditions are ripe, take the Wa State in one fell swoop, after all, the barbarians on the Nanyi State are not afraid of death, and their combat power is not inferior to the Samurai of the Wa State, and they are closer to the Tang Dynasty, and some fresh things are easy for them to obtain through guò smuggling, and it is easy to have an advantage in technology.

Hearing this, Li Shimin frowned, originally he had a good impression of the Wa State, after all, they have always been very deferential to the Tang Dynasty, but after the ship robbery incident, Li Shimin has changed, and the Wa State has a male master, which Datang does not want to see, but at this time, he is happy in his heart, because the situation seems to be going in the direction that Yang Lin talked to him at the beginning, and completely selling these equipment that may affect military capabilities is not the best result for Datang, selling them will not only get money, It will also make the countries that buy these things more deferential to Datang and get more benefits, so after they are submissive, of course, they have to let them fight with the things they buy from them, go to war, consume national strength, and then continue to come to Datang to buy.

After a moment of thinking about the lightning, Abe decided to compete with the Nanyi Kingdom, when even if they knelt on the side of Xu Jiangpu, one of them was the prime minister of the Nanyi Kingdom, and the other was the prince of the Wa Kingdom, and their identities were relatively precious, but at this time, they bowed to Li Shimin, but it made Li Shimin feel that he had more face.

"Your Wa Kingdom used to be quite deferential to my Datang Dynasty, but the previous time someone actually seized my Datang official ship and stole the technology of the water steamer, which is really chilling, but I see that you are full of sincerity this time, but I can pardon the sins of your Wa Kingdom, in addition to making the promise you just said, I also ask your king to promise me that he will not carry out any theft and theft operations, as long as he finds it once, then tens of thousands of my Datang navy will go to your Wa Kingdom, I am afraid that by that time, there will be no Wa Kingdom in this world." Li Er thought for a moment and said righteously.

"Yes, yes, Xiao Wang must ask his father to personally write a letter of commitment to promise not to fight the idea of the Tang Dynasty skills again, but I just implore the emperor to sell a few more big ships of our Japanese country, our Japanese country is not rich in products, and it is all dependent on the big ships to go to sea to get a bite to eat, and I hope that Your Majesty will have mercy on the millions of people of our Japanese country."

Abe Jiuchang is also a good person, after saying a word, he knocked a shaved forehead on the ground and no longer looked up, and his attitude was so deferential that the envoys of other countries couldn't stand it.

"Well, the Wa Kingdom can be regarded as having a heart, but Datang's shipbuilding output is also limited, in addition to the needs of the country, there are not many that can be sold to the outside, so let's do it, like Nanyi, Datang also sells you up to ten giant water ships every year, and the price is also 100,000 yuan, as long as you do what you promise, you can pick up the goods with payment."

Li Er today is the first time to experience the fun of being a businessman, between countries, can actually rely on business to balance, such a trick can only be thought of by the ghost head of Yanglin, Datang not only has to make money, but also earn face, and there is no need to spend a lot of money to fight a war, how come you didn't find the benefits of business in the past? He didn't know that this qiē was based on the current level of Datang's scientific and technological manufacturing technology, which far surpassed that of other countries, so that the country had to look at Datang's face to live.
