Lin Feng took advantage of the situation to stand up, because he had been kneeling for a long time, his body stumbled when he got up, and he was accidentally hit by the corner of the table and hit the wound in his ribs, and he couldn't help but snort in pain, and sat down on the ground again.

Li Jingda immediately stepped forward in surprise and stretched out his hand, and asked urgently: "Zhishan, are you injured?" ”

Lin Feng stood up with the strength of Li Jingda, stroked his ribs, and explained lightly: "After returning from the Liao trade, the minister had a martial arts exchange with Guo Tingwei, the assassin of Haozhou, and the minister was defeated miserably, and his ribs were seriously injured, and he has not recovered so far. ”

Li Jing's stiff face finally let go, and he pointed at Lin Feng and scolded: "I know your usual routine!" Tell me a lot of things first, and then I'm sure to have a big problem! Tell me for yourself, if this agreement is revealed, what will become of the court and the world?! ”

Lin Feng gritted his teeth and smiled bitterly, and explained bitterly: "The Holy Lord and the King of E, I really don't hide it, I am actually a Lelu disciple in my roots. I have heard the monks talk to overseas families before, many places and islands in the South China Sea are extremely rich in products, and their people can lie there every day without working to eat and drink, and have no worries about food and clothing, which is really envious and jealous! I also learned that there was an island in the South China Sea, on which gold could be gleaned, and another island, which was full of saltpeter, which was necessary for the production of earth-shaking thunder......

What's even better is that there is basically no force to talk about in these places, just like a rich family with no bodyguards, and the door open all day long to welcome customers, and like a beautiful little girl running around without clothes, which gave me the idea of a maritime agreement and put it into practice......"

"Zhishan, you are too ......" Li Jing grinned bitterly at Lin Feng's vulgar metaphor, and was about to scold him, when he suddenly came to his senses, pointed at Lin Feng and asked in surprise, "You have already put it into practice?" ”

Lin Feng quickly replied with an innocent expression: "The wealth thrown there, whoever grabs it first will be whoever!" I promise that by the end of this year, I will be able to get back the mountain of gold and silver treasures for the imperial court. In addition, in the far south of the South China Sea, there is an undefended continent, the area is almost equal to the current territory of my Datang, and the iron ore on it is piled up into mountains, which are all divine weapons in the future......"

"Wait, after answering the holy question first, you have really sent someone to the sea?" Li Jingda patted the table and unceremoniously interrupted Lin Feng's description.

"Well, it's the fifth day of August. It was divided into two groups, one group was dedicated to finding the continent in the sea, and the other group was all soldiers in the army, led by Jia Yuhang and Cao Shang, who were born as pirates, and were specifically responsible for robbing wealth overseas. Lin Feng said lightly.

At this moment, the two big guys sat there, looking at each other, so angry that they couldn't speak.

After a long while, Li Jingda asked out loud: "Zhishan, they won't set off with great fanfare, right?" ”

"Of course not, it was all in secret! In total, three large ships were taken. Lin Feng hurriedly replied.

Li Jingda breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask, "Then how do you guarantee that they won't go away with their money?" ”

Lin Feng pointed to the navigation agreement on the table, and quickly explained: "The main reason is that the huge temptation of the navigation agreement makes them not run; In addition, in order to show their loyalty to Datang before leaving, they all swore a blood oath, and their families were also sent to Shouzhou City as hostages. ”

Li Jingda completely relaxed, turned to look at Li Jing, and said: "Big brother, I am a person who leads the army to fight, and if I know that if I am soft-hearted and pedantic on the battlefield, I will definitely be a dead end in the end. Just now, I thought about the things that Zhishan said before and after, and I feel that these things are very reliable and feasible, currency wars, scientific inventions, commercial development, and navigation agreements are all interlocking, all of which are indispensable, please consider it seriously. ”

Lin Feng hurriedly added a heavy medicine: "Holy Lord, the historical facts of the past dynasties have already proved that a stable and developed dynasty will inevitably face the fundamental contradiction of increasing population and land increasingly concentrated in the hands of a few people, which will eventually lead to the desperate Li people rising up!" If we Datang have countless overseas enclaves in vain, and then introduce preferential policies to induce the surplus population to go to sea to pan for gold, and even relocate the people as a whole, our society will undoubtedly be more stable! ”

Li Jing was still silent, but his frowning brow had completely relaxed.

Li Jingda stared at Lin Feng and reprimanded with a straight face: "Perfection, first of all, I declare that these windfalls are all Datang's, not yours, nor those pirates!" ”

"Of course! They will fight with their lives, and at most they can only get a tenth of it, and we can only give them a few false titles when the time comes! Lin Feng hurriedly said, his body leaned towards Li Jing and Li Jingda, "Shouzhou is about to face the most critical battle since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, as long as this battle is undefeated, the Tang Dynasty will be the de facto hero of the world from now on!" If Jia Yuhang can rush back in time, can it be given priority to the Shouzhou front line to resist the enemy? ”

Li Jing didn't squeak, but his completely relaxed body had already told Lin Feng the answer he wanted. Don't use the money from the treasury, but use the stolen money to fight a big battle related to the life and death of the Tang Dynasty, so a fool won't do it!

Li Jingda also leaned in with Lin Feng and asked in a low voice, "Are the places you said about producing gold and saltpeter true?" ”

"Of course it's true! Many people from the Fang family who went to sea, including Fang Tai of the Academy of Sciences, had seen it. And that's not all, copper, iron, food, manpower, all those places are full of wealth. As long as we conquer those small countries by force, let the locals dig for gold and silver, and then ship them back to China, fill our treasury, print paper money, and play the world through currency wars, who can shake the position of the hero of our Tang Dynasty? Lin Feng continued to flicker.

Li Jingda smiled and patted Lin Feng on the shoulder: "Zhishan, I support you so strongly, how can I supply the sharp weapons such as earth-shaking thunder and muskets to me first, right?" ”

Lin Feng just nodded, but before he could agree, Li Jingda said again: "By the way, there are also carriages, bicycles, and grandfather clocks that you promised, and you won't send me five sets of each?" I almost forgot, and the good horse you got back from the Khitan some time ago, why do you have to give me ten or eight horses, right? ”

Lin Feng was laughed at all of a sudden, spread his hands, and looked at Li Jingda with a wry smile.

Li Jingda immediately patted Lin Feng on the shoulder generously and said loudly: "We hit it off at first sight, what kind of friendship is this?" You're such a stingy person, aren't you?! ”

Lin Feng was really speechless by this scoundrel His Royal Highness the King of E, and turned his head to ignore him.

"Think about it, as long as you agree, I can send some elites in the army to help you at that time. By the way, how about the three Jiangyin army captains who studied in the special army last time, I asked them to lead the team to your army for a while? Li Jingda came up, grabbed Lin Feng's shoulders, and bargained unrelentingly.

Li Jing couldn't look at it, and glared at Li Jingda, Li Jingda quickly slipped back and sat down on the stool honestly, but he still secretly squeezed his eyes at Lin Feng.

"We'll talk about the rest later, let's get back to this big battle." Li Jing finally spoke.

Lin Feng quickly restrained his expression, sat down on the table, and drew a sketch on the table with his fingers, respectively briefly describing the overall defensive and anti-enemy measures in the Jinjiang area, the north bank of the Huai River, the embankment of the Huai River, and the city of Shouzhou.

After listening to Lin Feng's overall plan, Li Jing groaned slightly, and said, "Basically, prepare according to your plan!" The enemy counterattack in the surrounding states will be secretly told by me, and at that time, the imperial court can consider sending some forbidden troops to help Shouzhou, but it is really not possible, I will go to Qingliu Pass to escort you to the battle! ”

Lin Feng was overjoyed and kowtowed again to thank him. Li Jing's positive attitude has fully demonstrated the emperor Lao'er's recognition and affirmation of his overall long-term layout in the future, and now everything depends on the final result of this war!

Lin Feng looked at the sky outside the window and wanted to invite the two bigwigs to have dinner first, but was blocked by two people who were very interested, and pulled Lin Feng to discuss the details of the war.

When the discussion between the three of them became more and more excited, in a house in the east of Shouzhou City, a tall and thin young man walked into the house where Wang Jianfeng, the deputy general of the Shouzhou Army, was recuperating from his illness, and said coldly: "General Wang, do you want to continue to pretend?" ”
