In Yizhou, the merchants were notified by the Ministry of Commerce that a large number of merchants went to the Ryukyus to buy goods that were said to be sold by Luo'anguo, and for them Luo'anguo was still a mysterious country, because no one in the entire Tang Dynasty had ever been to that place except for Li Su, but they had seen a lot of magical goods, but these goods were purchased by Li Su from Luo'anguo, and the private merchants had never directly purchased these goods, and now with such an opportunity, they flocked to Ryukyu.

"Daqian, when you were asked to come to Ryukyu, you didn't want to! You see, now, I envy you a little, and Your Highness has forgotten all the good things here. Tong Nian stood with Jin Daqian at the Ryukyu trade wharf with his stomach, looking at the merchants who came and went to transfer goods, and he sighed with emotion that the trade zone officially carried out two-way trade, and he, the person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce, wanted to come and see.

Jin Daqian and Tong Nian are the first people to follow Li Su, and the two are also old friends, and they have no scruples when they speak, he said: "Thanks to His Royal Highness's care, Ryukyu has such a grand occasion today, and many people say that such a prosperous Cheng dù is second only to Yizhou!" ”

"This is true, Chang'an is not as good as you, I think your Ryukyu location is good, which can attract people from so many countries to do business here." Tong Nian's gaze swept over a man with a beard, and said, "Hey, where do you have so many Persians here?" I've seen more than 100 of them along the way. ”

Jin Daqian followed Tong Nian's gaze and said with a smile: "This is not a Persian, this is a big cannibal, don't you know that the expeditionary force is fighting against the Great Food Country now?" These merchants of the Great Cannibal Country fled here from the Great Cannibal Country. ”

With an "oh", Tong Nian said: "I see, you are not afraid that these people will gather to make trouble." ”

Kim Daqian said meaningfully: "Business is business, war is war, and they are clearly distinguished. ”

As the two spoke, they got into the car and drove towards the trade area. The trade zone of Datang and Luo Anguo is not far from the port, and after driving for more than ten minutes, the two of them arrived at the trade zone, and got off at the trade zone, Tong Nian locked his eyes on the turrets scattered in the trade zone, and the soldiers were faintly visible on these turrets patrolling, and he suddenly understood why Jin Daqian was so relieved, it turned out that the Yizhou army had already established fortifications.

Skimming past the turrets, Tong Nian saw rows of two-story concrete buildings, painted with white paint. The building was full of neat square rooms, and there were all kinds of goods in them, some of which he had never seen before, so they must be the goods from Luo Anguo.

"There's really something here." Tong Nian was surprised.

"And something that will surprise you even more." Jin Daqian smiled, and led Tong Nian around the dense trading area in front to a spacious area, where all kinds of agricultural machinery were parked, and many businessmen in it asked about the functions of these machinery.

Tong Nian opened his mouth wide, and he also saw a lot of beautifully shaped cars, as well as household appliances. These things used to only be used by the people of the Prince's Mansion, but now they are all over the place, but this time he didn't come in vain, he said: "Daqian." I want to buy a car to take home, can you give me a discount? ”

"I don't dare, it's okay to borrow money from you, but it's absolutely impossible to go through the back door. If His Highness finds out, with his temper, my assassination history will be over. This opening cannot be opened. Jin Daqian waved his hand again and again, and now the students who graduated from Yizhou Government Affairs University have been added to the government in batches, these people are very talented, and many people are not satisfied with his old-thinking thorn history, and they are all staring at him, waiting for him to make mistakes.

Tong Nian shook his head when he heard this, and said: "I found out that the older you are, the less courageous you are, with us following Your Highness for so many years, what else will Your Highness say if you get a little cheap?" That's it, that's it. ”

Jin Daqian frowned, Tong Nian's words made him feel a little wrong, he reminded: "Tong Nian, you and I are both old, you can't make a mistake at this time, now your commercial department is the fattest department, you have to control your hands." ”

His eyes rolled, the unnaturalness on Tong Nian's face flashed, and he said, "Where did you think of going, am I such a person?" It was just a joke. ”

Jin Daqian was silent, remembering Li Su's evaluation of Tong Nian in the past, he was talented and very good at speculation, he sighed secretly and threw the conjecture out of his mind, maybe he was thinking too much......

During the period when the trade zone was hotly opened, after a long war of three months, Xue Rengui successfully defeated the Tubo Dynasty in one fell swoop, and Tubo Zanpu Songtsen Gampo submitted a letter of surrender to the Tang Dynasty, expressing his willingness to be the autonomous region of the Tang Dynasty.

"Hahaha......" Taiji Palace, after accepting Songtsen Gampo's letter of state, Li Su said to him: "From today on, Tubo shall not have its own army, but can only have a small number of Wuhou to maintain law and order, and the Tang garrison of Tubo will be responsible for maintaining the security of Tubo, and Tubo shall not violate the decree of the Tang Dynasty." ”

"Yes, Your Highness the Prince, we will follow your will." Songtsen Gampo said respectfully that after seeing the terrible weapons of the Tang Dynasty, they could no longer raise the idea of resisting, and many Tubo people were horrified that the Tang army's army would use witchcraft, which deepened their fear.

With a wave of his hand, Songtsen Gampo and the envoys retreated, and Li Su sealed the generals who participated in the battle, which made the veterans who accompanied the visit very envious, but they also had to convince the strong combat power of the Yizhou army.

The generals of Yizhou were naturally happy when they received the reward, and at this time Li Ji said: "Your Highness, this time you went to Tubo to observe and know that we are frogs at the bottom of the well, please allow us to study at the Military Academy." ”

"Of course, the door of the Yizhou Military Academy is open to you, and when you return from your studies, we will let you lead the new army." Li Su said that he rewarded the generals of Yizhou, and he couldn't let these dry eyes stare at him, and Li Su was ready to completely move the military system closer to modernity in the next step, because it was very inappropriate for a modern army to use the old government and soldier management system.

These days, he is thinking about the same division of military regions, with different military regions to manage different regions, such as the Japanese Kingdom, the Korean Peninsula will be divided into a military region, this military region will be managed by Zeng Zhida, the south of Yizhou, including Tubo, will be divided into a military region, the person in charge of this will be Xue Rengui, and Yizhou to Chang'an, Chang'an to the grassland, and east to Luoyang will be turned into Chang'an Military Region, this military region will be directly under the management of Li Su, or as Li Su's descendant troops, and Yizhou will continue to be divided into others, The reason why he did this was to disperse the power in the hands of the generals, and after the division of the military regions, the heads of these military regions would be rotated every two years, so that they would not have time to establish a network of contacts and grow bigger in the local areas.

"Your Highness is complete!" The generals thanked one after another.

Now that Tubo has also been returned to the Tang Dynasty, there are no enemies around the Tang Dynasty, and even the Khitan that has just risen on the grassland has been expelled to the Siberian ice field by the grassland garrison, and Li Su has not thought about the land north of the grassland for the time being, that place is extremely cold, and it is thankless to occupy it, and the most important thing is to control the natural pasture of the grassland in his hands, so that no nomadic people will rise again and threaten the safety of the Tang Dynasty.

In the eyes of these Chang'an ministers, Tubo used to be a country that made the Tang Dynasty feel feared, and they felt that it didn't matter to the Wa Kingdom, Goguryeo, because the Tang people looked down on them at all, and now such a strong enemy was subdued, and it was natural for them to be happy.

Li Shimin learned of this news and rushed back from Yizhou, personally summoned Songtsan Gampo, to see what kind of person this person who threatened him to marry the princess before, and was happy, he held a feast in Daming Palace, and officials of all sizes in Chang'an were able to go to Daming Palace to feast together.

Li Shimin has been eating, drinking, and having fun in Yizhou for more than half a year, and he is a lot healthier, full of red light, and in good spirits, but after he came back, he still didn't ask about government affairs, and he was dedicated to eating, drinking, and laughing with those old ministers, and the ministers seemed to have vaguely felt something, and they didn't ask him about government affairs at the banquet, and they were happy.
