"Don't the gods like this tea?" Li Yuan saw that the god man didn't seem to want to see the tea leaves, for fear of evil the god man, so he hurriedly asked.

Ye Jinyu glanced at the bowl of tea, shook his head and said, "I can't get used to drinking this kind of tea, let's get some boiled water next time." ”

Ye Jinyu, who has a dry mouth, didn't want to pretend to be a wave of tea-making in front of the ancients, nor did he want to change the tea drinking habits of the Tang Dynasty, his current idea is to be entrusted by others, loyal to people, I am responsible for showing you a way, other things are not my task, how far you can do it, it depends on your creation.

"Let me talk about the borderlands of this world!"

The main event came, and the emperor and his princes hurriedly concentrated.

"The situation around the Tang Dynasty, you know better than me, Tibet in the west, Turks in the north, and Goguryeo in the northeast, these relatively strong countries surround the Tang Dynasty, although there are some small countries in the southwest, but they are all tropical climates and rainforest environments that may make northerners uncomfortable. To the east and south, is the sea. It seems that Datang has no direction of expansion until it defeats these countries. This is not the case. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to Siberia with the plastic edge in his hand and said:

"In the northern part of the Turks, there is a vast land, rich in forests and minerals, and it is a land of endless treasures; However, because of the high latitude, short sunshine hours, and low temperature throughout the year, it is a bitter cold place, and it is difficult to develop without adequate warmth measures; Moreover, this treasure land was blocked by the Turks, and if the Turks were not destroyed, even if it could be developed, it would be a castle in the air, and it would be easy to be cut off by the Turks. ”

After talking about Siberia, he nodded in the Far East of modern Russia with a side strip, and said: "The situation here is similar to that of the Turkic rear, which is located in the rear of Goguryeo, and the climate is also cold, and it is difficult to develop; ”

He drew a line from the Footbasin Strait, and said:

"But there is an advantage here, that is, you can march along the coast, as long as you build enough ships and use the sea to support the army in battle, then it is easier for the army to transport and logistically supply than to the Turks. Moreover, Goguryeo is not like the nomadic Turkic people, the cavalry of the whole people comes and goes like the wind, they are the same as the Central Plains, they are a farming-based farming people, as long as you go to attack, they can't escape; Therefore, relatively speaking, Goguryeo was easier to fight than the Turks. ”

"What's more, in the summer, when the sun shines to the north, the ice in the high-latitude oceans melts, and further north through Goguryeo, you can easily cross this strait along the coast to the north...... Well, this wooden island and water island! "I almost blurted out North America, but I suddenly remembered that I had just changed my name.

"On this wooden island, it is not an ownerless land, and there are some people on it, who are said to be the descendants of the ancient ancestors who crossed the sea from the north during the Yin Shang period. However, they still maintain the level of productivity of the Yin Shang period, and are still at the level of slash-and-burn production, and usually live by hunting, and have not yet been civilized; There was no writing, no iron, no horses; In short, their armed forces are negligible compared to the Tang army, and if the Tang Dynasty can open up the road to Goguryeo, it can bring them more advanced civilization and cultivation technology. "When advanced technology is brought over, the territory is our own.

Li Shimin asked: "Ask the gods, what is the size of this wooden island?" "In the eyes of King Qin of Tiance Mansion, don't talk about weak enemies, even if they are as strong as the Turks, Datang will do it directly! The question is whether the site is worth the effort.

He has decided to build a big empire outside, a country that is not weaker than the Tang Dynasty, to prove his majesty; What is a great empire? So regardless of whether it is strong or weak, at least the area should be large enough.

Regarding the question of King Qin, Ye Jinyu roughly calculated in his heart that during the reign of Li Yuan, the Tang Dynasty had not yet fully risen, and the map was not as big as the Republic, with less Tibet, less Northeast, and less Western Regions; It is estimated that it is only five or six million square kilometers!

Ye Jinyu doesn't know how big North America is, but North America can be converted into Canada, the United States and Mexico, and the area of Canada in North America is the second largest in the world, nearly 10 million square kilometers, and the area of the United States is only a little bit behind China, which is also more than 9 million square kilometers, ranking sixth in the world. The second and sixth countries together are almost 20 million square kilometres.

Mexico actually has an area of almost two million square kilometers; It's just that Ye Jinyu is completely unimpressed, so he counts Mexico as hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, which is considered an addition, and makes up North America to 20 million square kilometers. Mexico is only an addition, and other islands such as Cuba and Puerto Rico have been completely ignored by Ye Jinyu.

With the answer in his heart, Ye Jinyu replied: "Muzhou is about the size of four or five Datang!" "It's just that the tone isn't particularly affirmative.

It's the size of four or five Datang! The natives of the Tang Dynasty expressed shock; The Datang country has been so wide that it is boundless, and it is difficult to manage, what is the concept of four or five Datang?

At the same time, Li Yuan was secretly happy in his heart, with such a piece of territory, in addition to the crown prince and King Qin, several other sons, including King Qi, could also get some territory and become the real king.

And Li Shimin was also happy in his heart, because of the chaos of the gods, the chances of the Tang Dynasty being on the throne were suddenly ninety percent smaller; But if Seon loses his horse, he doesn't know if it's a blessing; Turning his head, the god drew himself a cake the size of four or five Tang Dynasty; Not to mention whether you can eat it or not, at least it looks delicious! This piece of green wooden island made Li Shimin swell instantly.

Seeing the emperor's father and the second brother of the king of Qin staring at Mu Zhou fiercely, Li Yuanji knew that he estimated that he didn't want to get involved in this land, so he retreated to the next best thing, and hit the idea to South America below, and asked, "Godman, how about this southern water continent?" ”

Ye Jinyu continued to recall the knowledge taught by the high school teacher, and explained: "Shuizhou is slightly smaller than Muzhou, about the size of three or four Datang. However, this water continent is densely covered with rainforests and has a well-developed water system; There are several kinds of grain crops here, and the yield per mu is more than 1,000 catties, and some can even reach thousands of catties; If these crops can be introduced to Datang, Datang will no longer have to worry about food. ”

Li Yuanji's mind was all about the size of three or four Datang, and he said that although it was a little smaller than the territory of the second brother, it was compared to the Central Plains Datang of the eldest brother, hehe...... Then he hid and went to steal the fun. It seems that this water island is already in his pocket.

However, Li Jiancheng was very concerned about the problem of grain crops, and hurriedly asked: "How many catties per mu?" Dare to ask the man of God, what kind of crop is so amazing? ”

"There are three kinds, one is called sweet potato, which grows in the soil, and each can be the size of one or two fists, and one pocket can produce several; The second type is called potato, which also grows in the soil, and the big one can be as big as a fist, and it is generally half a fist the size; A pocket can grow a dozen. The last kind is called corn, which grows like sorghum, and has two or three mallets on the middle leaves, each of which can be as long as two or three fists, and the edible part grows on this mallet; ”

Seeing that several people were gesturing with their fists, imagining the image of unknown high-yield food crops, Ye Jinyu felt that his expression ability was very bad for the first time, so he said: "I can't say the specific things clearly, next time I will see if I can bring a few over, if you can bring them, you don't have to go thousands of miles to the south...... Uh, the water island was introduced. ”

Li Yuanji clapped his hands and said, "Okay! The law of gods and men is good! This water island, too! Several other natives also nodded violently with smiles on their faces, if the gods and men can really bring such a miraculous high-yield crop, it is really a blessing for the Tang Dynasty and the people.

"But I can't guarantee that I can bring it, I have a big restriction on opening that door." Thinking of the inexplicable embargo law of the space-time gate, Ye Jinyu said more; Thinking about the shriveled dozens of dollars in his pocket, he immediately blurted out a sentence: "You have to pay!" As soon as the words came out, I was a little worried that the Tang people would underestimate him and flatten him as a god; So he explained: "I brought these things, and it was quite troublesome, and the cost was not low, so I ......"

has been called a lot, and unconsciously, Ye Jinyu really regards himself as a god, and knows how to smear gold on his face. I'm embarrassed to say this thing about asking for money.

Fortunately, the Tang people were sensible, so Li Yuan opened his mouth and said: "The gods are at ease, this is for the benefit of the people of my Tang Dynasty, how can the gods and men break the bank; If the gods can bring such high-yield life-saving food, I will not spare a thousand dollars! ”

Now that he has put down his face and asked for money, Ye Jinyu simply turned his heart sideways and said: "Since you are willing to give money, then you can also pay the money for the world's map!" I had someone draw it, and it was seventy dollars. ”

As soon as his words fell, Li Shimin continued: "Is it seventy taels of gold?" The price is not expensive, I paid for it in Tiance Mansion! ”

Seventy taels of gold! When Ye Jinyu heard this price, he hurriedly calculated it in his heart, one or two fifty grams, seventy two hundred and fifty grams, three thousand five hundred grams; Even if it's 100 yuan a gram, that's 350,000! Rowed, rowed; Seventy yuan for seventy taels of gold, good business. Li Yuan said that the daughter business is not thinking about for the time being, and the hundreds of thousands of business will be made first.

was about to say yes, but he heard Li Yuan snort coldly, and he was very dissatisfied in his hum.

Li Shimin hurriedly changed his words and said: "I bought it from Tiance Mansion and dedicated it to my father; If the man of God can ask someone to paint a few more, I will buy it at the price! ”

The crown prince Li Jiancheng couldn't see his brother's goodness, and when he heard the words, he said: "The god asked someone to draw a map, and the principal cost seventy, and the widow thought that he could not directly buy the map of the god man with the principal; The widow is willing to give a hundred taels of gold to the man of God for his hard work. I also hope that the gods will prepare a few more maps, and the East Palace is willing to pay according to the price. ”

Li Yuan nodded affirmatively and said, "According to this method, you can't let the gods run in vain." "Seeing that the god man was reluctant to drink tea just now, Li Yuan was afraid of annoying the god man; When you see that the man of God is willing to take gold and silver, then things will be much easier, isn't it just to pay more? As long as the man of God is happy, everything is negotiable.

It's up, it's up! Seventy gold has risen to one hundred and seventeen gold, and the money will break one million! Ye Shenren wanted to keep his godman calm, but when he thought of earning a million income from a one-day lecture, he couldn't help but grin and said, "There are maps, there are maps, next time I will bring you a few more, everyone will have a share." "Isn't it just a photo paper photo of 70 yuan a piece! The layouts are all ready-made, and next time I ask the factory to write three or five dozen, and I will send ten sheets per person when I move over.

Ye Shenren was so happy that he was even a little more interested in lecturing.

"Just now we have a rough summary of the places that can be reached from the north, let's take a look at the south."
