Chapter 330: The Golden Land

For Murong Shun's move, Li Su is of course happy, Li Su has always wanted to graze a pasture to raise all kinds of livestock he brought from modern times, Murong Shun's surrender is to provide Li Su with such a place, so, Li Su then moved the farm to the grassland, of course, Li Su did not let them suffer, after handing over the cows to them to raise, he also spent money to buy milk, in this way, it is considered to be their labor fees, and the breed of Boer goats is also quite popular among the herdsmen of Tuyuhun, for this reason, Li Su also set up a livestock trading market in Songzhou to exchange cattle and sheep with herdsmen.

"That's what I want to say, too." Xue Rengui breathed a sigh of relief, "The reason why we cleaned up some barbarians so easily is because some barbarians are basically infantry, but if it is a fast cavalry on the grassland, our losses will be great." ”

Li Su patted Xue Rengui on the shoulder and said, "I have already thought of this, so Tuyuhun will send 40,000 cavalry to help you." ”

"Hmm." Xue Rengui nodded and said, "Your Highness, is this Murong Shun credible?" If they take the opportunity to ......", Xue Gui hesitated a little.

"You don't have to worry about this, Murong Shun doesn't have the courage to do this, and he doesn't have this reason, so just go." Li said.

"Yes." Xue Rengui responded, this trip is a chore, a thousand miles of great leap forward, but he feels glad when he thinks of Qin Huaiyu and Zhu Youzhi's errand, at least he still stays on land, those two guys are floating on the sea, which is much more uncomfortable than him.

Just as Xue Rengui thought, on the expeditionary fleet at this time, Qin Huaiyu was vomiting, and Zhu Youzhi was also pale, they had just experienced a storm, and the huge waves that overturned the sky made the ship shake very much, and many people were vomiting.

"General Qin, are you okay?" Li Hui looked at Li Su with some concern. To Li Hui's surprise, as long as he didn't have anything unusual about experiencing this storm, it made him a little proud, and in his opinion, he was really suitable for the ocean.

Qin Huaiyu lay on the side of the boat and retched again, and said, "It's okay, damn the storm, I just hope I don't meet again." ”

"Your Highness said that the sea is full of dangers, and it is really good, I used to think it was a good errand, but now it seems that we are really wrong." Zhu Youzhi searched the sea with a telescope, and his first stop was Manila in the Philippines on the map. Although Li Su gave them specific standards on the map, it was very difficult to find them, after all, it is one thing to look at the map, and it is another thing to look for them on the spot.

Qin Huaiyu wiped his mouth, hooked up with Li Hui, and floated on the sea for a month, their life is simple, it can also be said to be monotonous, every day is to get together to play cards. Drinking, there are only a few hundred people on a boat, and they quickly get acquainted, "What's the use of saying this." I don't know how His Highness went to sea for four months in the first place. ”

"How can His Highness be understandable to ordinary people." Zhu Youzhi said that Li Su is an enigmatic figure in the hearts of all of them, and there is a deep awe in their hearts, because. You don't know what he's going to conjure up the next moment.

Zhu Youzhi and Qin Huaiyu chatted without saying a word, but Li Hui's eyes continued to search on the sea, and then a small black dot entered his eyes. He pointed to the sea to the south and shouted, "What's that?" ”

Picking up the binoculars, Zhu Youzhi looked in the direction pointed by Li Hui, it turned out to be a small fishing boat, and there were three dark-skinned and short people rowing on the fishing boat, "Kunlun slave?" Zhu Youzhi couldn't help but speak.

"Kunlun Nu!" Qin Huaiyu and Li Hui also scrambled to look at each other, and sure enough, as Zhu Youzhi said, there was indeed a small fishing boat rowing to the south not far away.

"Your Highness said that this kind of is living in this Philippine land now, who is?" Qin Huaiyu didn't come out for a long time.

"Negritos!" Li Hui also held back for him for a long time, and finally said the name of this race for Qin Huaiyu, Li Su checked the information of the Philippines, the earliest dynasty of this island country was established in the fourteenth century, and now living in the Philippines in this era are the most primitive indigenous Negritos, also called dwarf blacks, that is, a class of Kunlun slaves, the pirate Wang Shijie is from here to catch these people and sell them to the Tang Dynasty, and because the Negritos are very docile, they were soon loved by the Tang nobles.

Without waiting for them to speak, the flagship of the fleet changed course and followed the ships of the dwarf blacks, if these natives led the way, it would be easier for them to gain a foothold in this place, after all, this group of people did not have a concept of territory at the moment, and it was absolutely no problem for them to occupy a place.

"Sun Dongxu, this kid, is faster than us!" Qin Huaiyu said.

"He's got a pirate as a guide, and he's been at sea for more than a year longer than us, so he's much more experienced than us." Zhu Youzhi, "So take advantage of this time to learn more, and when we act alone in the future, we can't count on them anymore." ”

On the flagship, Sun Dongxuzhi was complacent, although the latter two ranks were much higher than him, but they were definitely rookies in navigation, which made him secretly refreshed, "Wang Shijie, can you communicate with them?" ”

"Yes, I've been in this area for more than ten years, and their language doesn't speak plenum, and it's always okay." Since Wang Shijie asked for the identity of a pirate, he has become more and more proud in the navy, and he was soon reused by Sun Dongxu with his rich maritime experience, and his small life was more nourishing than before.

"That's good, Your Highness said that this island contains a lot of gold ore reserves, and there are more copper ores, so we must mine all the mineral deposits here!" Sun Dongxu smiled and said, Gold! Who doesn't like it.

Although the Philippines is an island country, it is extremely rich in mineral resources, of which gold reserves are the third in the world, as high as 136 million tons, and brass reserves have reached 4.6 billion tons, not including nickel, aluminum and other minerals.

Of course, Li Yu didn't expect Sun Dongxu to dig out these minerals at all, he planned to let Li Ran mine these minerals in the future, after all, the mining of mineral deposits is definitely time-consuming and labor-intensive, so they are simply only responsible for establishing a port, and all overseas minerals will be handed over to Li Ran.

"However, our mission is to build the Manila seaport." Sun Dongxu went on to say, this is also what Li Su explained.

Whether it is the conquest of the barbarians on land or the exploration of colonies at sea, Li Su's steps are carried out steadily, and the victory of the southern front has also allowed Li Su to remove the last piece of heart disease, and the border problem in Yizhou can be said to have been finally solved.

When Xue Rengui led his troops north, Li Su returned to Yizhou, and the rest was left to Xue Rengui, and he didn't have to continue to participate.

In a month's time, the paper couldn't keep the fire after all, and the matter of the Nanban invasion was still boiling in Yizhou, so as soon as he returned to Yizhou, he asked the Shengtang Business Daily to publish the news of the victory on the southern line in the newspaper, and at the same time, he also passed the information to Chang'an, so that Wang Zheng also published it.

"The sixth brother is powerful, first defeated Tuyuhun, then Tubo, this is a bit of bruteness, hey, how good it would be if I could watch the battle on the spot." Before Li Su returned to the palace, the buttocks were not hot, Li Yuan and Li Zhi surrounded them, asking east and west, Cui Yingying was disgusted for a while, and complained that Li Su was hiding such a big thing from him.

Li Yuan nodded slightly when he heard this, and looked at Li Su's gaze with even more appreciation, "Liulang, you mean, Jieli in the north and Mo some barbarians in the south are preparing to attack the Tang Dynasty in the north and south?" ”

"That's right, now that Mo Xian has been defeated, only the affairs of the north have not been heard, and this time it may not be easy for the Tang Dynasty to fight with Xue Yantuo and the Turks at the same time." Li Su said with a frown.

Li Yuan said: "The Turks are indeed not to be underestimated, but the north was completely subservient to him back then to achieve peace, and it is precisely because of this that your father is so jealous of Jieli, because he has felt that kind of humiliation." ”

"Well, I understand, I have sent troops north to support, hoping that this time the grassland problem can be completely solved." Li Su said this, but he had just received the information, and the war situation in the north seemed to be very unoptimistic at this time. (To be continued......)
