The moon hung high, and the cool moonlight fell on the earth like silver frost.

A typical Tang-style cornice-building is brightly lit.

In the room, the most attractive thing is a swaddling cloth of red silk and cotton, in the swaddling clothes, a fat baby face, in the candlelight, seems to be as dazzling as the whole world.

The Empress sat quietly on a wooden chair, holding the baby boy in her arms.

Gently staring at the sleeping appearance of the baby, the princess seemed to fall into boundless memories.

That *one afternoon, the man's arms and shoulders, the life of the Tang people and the self-confidence of the Tang people, always appeared in the mind of the princess, she hated, why she was not a Tang person, why was she born in this place of the Wa Kingdom, and she couldn't get together with the person she missed, but in the end, all the pictures became a desperate back after the autumn leaves withered and Xu Yang turned around.

"Let's go, the drawings you want are all in Zhang Er's place, get the drawings from him and go, Xujiazhuang doesn't welcome you, and Datang doesn't welcome you either." Xu Yang's cold words were like a sharp sword, piercing the heart of the treasure princess.

"Xu Lang" I don't know when, tears have already slipped from the corners of the eyes of the princess, looking at the sleeping baby boy, the princess choked up: "Xu Lang, I will train our son to be a smart and strong emperor of the Wa Kingdom"

The drive is coming, Chang'an set off a new atmosphere of the New Year, Chang'an supermarket chain actually made a half-price crazy discount, which made all the people in the counties and villages around Chang'an like a shark smelling blood, and poured into Chang'an City, which was originally widened by more than ten meters and the total width of the street was up to 160 meters.

The college has recently ushered in a period of great development. Many of the rare fish brought from overseas were made into specimens and placed in the seowon as a display, and for this purpose, the seowon also built a special house for these marine creatures.

What surprised Xu Yang the most was. When he was at the beach, Xu Yang had heard many times that fishermen called whales the title of Sea Dragon King, and he was in awe of it, but it was only half a year, and the mentality of the Tang people had undergone earth-shaking changes.

In fact, this is also a historical necessity. When human beings are unknown, they are full of awe for a qiē, but once they have more powerful strength, they will leave behind what they were in awe of.

Obviously, the development of coastal sea vessels is now extremely rapid, judging by the situation. It was no less advanced than the ocean-going fleet that had explored Australia, and the steam engine also provided more rapid power for seagoing ships.

In fact, Xu Yang rarely interferes in overseas affairs now, and the colonies of Australia and various islands are managed by Niu Jinda, which is why Xu Yang always can't see this mentor and friend in Chang'an City, because Lao Niu is now running on the sea routes between Lingnan and Quanzhou all the year round, and I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing for him.

However, Xu Yang didn't say much about Li Er's suspicion-avoidance appointment method, Li Er's trust in himself. It can already be said that in the feudal era, the emperor had the highest trust in his courtiers, and even some of them had broken away from the identity of the monarch and ministers, and there was an illusion of a family

A lot has happened this year. First of all, the fleet returned from overseas, and achieved high-yield and improved seeds, and now it is in the cultivation stage, and the Lantian County is now a rich harvest in the type of seed county, and so on in the spring of the next year, it must be a new round of 'potato fever' at that time. Xu Yang feels that Datang will usher in an unprecedented period: a period of food surplus.

If you want to talk about such a thing as a food surplus. In the feudal era, it was simply a beautiful thing that you didn't have to think about, if the people of the world could eat enough. Then no one will rebel, this is the consensus of everyone, so the emperor has always regarded food as the most important material.

But no emperor has ever thought about the word 'food surplus', after all, this word is too beautiful for normal emperors to dare to see.

In fact, it was not until modern times that there was a gradual surplus of grain in China, and most of it was regional, and there was no large-scale grain surplus in the whole country.

Xu Yang has seen the people at the bottom of the Tang Dynasty, in his first fiefdom, Maozhuang fiefdom, where the people eat a meal of vegetables and roasted fish is considered the top food, and I heard the old people in the village say that every time there is a disaster year, the people in the village will eat tree bark and grass roots.

Xu Yang had never seen anyone eat tree bark, but this did not prevent him from believing what those old men said, because this was the Tang Dynasty 1,400 years ago, even in later generations, during the natural disasters when New China was just established, there were people who ate tree bark and dug wild vegetables, so in Xu Yang's eyes, the old man's words were not exaggerated in the slightest.

The next big thing that happened was Xu Yang's victory over Goryeo, but because of Li Er's cover-up and the lack of attention to news reports, the great achievements that could have been in the annals of history were quietly hidden, and even there were only a few sentences in the "Official History of the Tang Dynasty".

Then there is the fall of the Turks, taking advantage of Xu Yang's prophecy, the Tang Dynasty has already prepared a spear, dormant waiting to give the Turks this fatal blow, all according to the original plan, and even the original history is not much different, Li Jing's sneak attack, Li Ji's ambush, so that the Turks, who were not dominant, quickly collapsed.

The Tang Dynasty, which gathered the right time and place, did not have the slightest reason not to win, and took advantage of the snowstorm to take Dingxiang City in one fell swoop, and at the same time captured the Turkic leader and Jieli Khan.

After hearing the news of the capture of the Khan and the fall of the Turks, Li Er's reaction was not much different from that in history, he danced in person, and got together with his father, one played the huqin, the other danced the huqin, the joy was all on the face, needless to say, it was all on the face, and later Xu Yang also took Liu Mengli to participate in Li Er's celebration banquet for the victory over the Turks

Datang has slowly begun to throw off the many small countries around it and embarked on a road to dominate the world, on the table of Li Eryu's study, the big globe is not an ornament, that is Li Er's goal, and it is also Xu Yang's goal.

And the next opponent of Datang is Tuyuhun, whose ancestor is Xianbei
