When I left, it was announced that Qiu Danmo was the main body, responsible for the overall situation, and the other three people assisted in the way of work, and now, well, the work is okay, there is no chaos, if there is nothing abnormal in each intelligence station, a local briefing will be sent every other month, reporting on the local people's livelihood, politics, climate and other aspects of the current stage, and there have been three groups of nearly 600 people have set off, successively infiltrating the Dongnu country and various Qiang tribes, and the Xiangxiong country is also our intelligence object, and, Among these three groups of intelligence personnel, foreigners have begun to appear, well, the Tang Dynasty dead soldiers with foreign faces, these are the descendants of the Persians and the Great Qin people who were in China during the Sui Dynasty, although their appearance is still the same as that of the Persians and Westerners, however, the blood flowing in their bodies has completely purified the soul of the barbarians, they are not only proficient in the original mother tongue, but also quite proficient in Chinese, and more importantly, they have put the open, civilized, The Datang is full of degrees as the object of their allegiance, well, this is not my boasting, but a fact, otherwise, why did they pass the layers of tests and become a member of my Datang intelligence agency?

In the past few months, some of them have incarnated as business travelers, some have become veterinarians, or human doctors, in this era, what people eat the most in the wilderness, that is, these three kinds of people are the most respected and welcome, and the danger of businessmen is slightly higher, however, under the strong coercion of the Tang Dynasty imperialism, the destruction of the Gaochang Kingdom has not been more than ten years under the warning effect, at least so far, no Western Regions country dares to show the carriage and horses to rob the Tang Dynasty's business travel, because they understand that the revenge of the Tang Dynasty will make them unforgettable.

And these people, they have been distributed to the countries of the Western Regions, and even further afield, according to the rumors that the farthest intelligence agents have passed through the chaotic Central Asia region, to Constantinople, the capital of Byzantium, when I first heard the news, my jaw almost fell to the ground.

But in the same way, these intelligence officers from East Asia, Central Asia, West Asia, and even Eastern Europe who constantly used the footsteps of business travelers to frequently transmit news to Chang'an have settled down in their respective territories with their skills. This is another sophisticated channel for Datang to understand the West in the future.

---------------------------------------------------- and it is precisely because of the fact that after the Tang Dynasty adopted a series of horizontal and vertical means, it has already profited from it without spending a single soldier, not only taking the two border towns of Xihai City and Heyuan City from Tugu Hun Li's mouth, but also stationed in the elite of the Tang Dynasty, and in the past half a year, with the efforts of the old man and the ministers who stayed behind and Li Zhi. The border defense of the two places has not only been greatly increased, and a large number of cement and masonry technology of the Tang Dynasty have been used to rebuild Xihai City and Heyuan City, in addition, the use of prisoners of war obtained by Longyou many times and the Western Regions countries began to build small cities in the surrounding area of the two important towns, that is, blockhouse-style buildings, for the people to live, convenient for the people in the border areas to resist the invasion of foreign people, and secondly, after integration, it is more conducive to the Tang Dynasty to strengthen its rule over these remote places.

And the Dafeichuan that originally belonged to Tuyuhun has fallen into the hands of our Datang, so that Tubo has completely bordered my Datang, and for a period of time, due to the smooth progress of the military progress in Liaodong has exceeded everyone's expectations, which makes the Datang immediately turn its goals and attention to the western part of the Tang Dynasty, Shazhou, Yangguan, and the strengthening and connection of the Dianhe City and the end of the city, which has formed a road to protect the Western Regions in the open, and a semicircular barrier against the Tubo Plateau in the dark.

In addition, Dianhe City and the end of the city made a direct connection between the Tang Dynasty and Yangtong, and while increasing bilateral trade, it also allowed Tubo's ambitions to be temporarily suppressed, at least, during this period of time, Tubo's strategy against Yangtong has changed from fighting in the open to fighting in the dark.

And one of the news from the west has to be noticed, that is: Big Food!

That's right, it's the Great Eclipse, the Sassanid Empire of Persia is currently struggling with the Great Eclipse entrenched in western Persia, but it is said that it has gradually become exhausted, and the Persian Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire, that is, the Byzantine Empire, have sent troops to conquer them, and they have been defeated.

These are the messages that intelligence officers have brought back from the Western Regions generation, and Persia, a huge, once powerful empire, is now weak and tired. Moreover, this news also makes me feel extremely vigilant, Da Shi is in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, and together with Tubo, he completely controlled the two shameless guys on the Silk Road.

"Increase the intelligence work of my Tang Longyou Road and the land to the west, absolutely intended, in addition, let those personnel help the Persians when necessary, however, all this can only be secretly planned by our Jinjuan Academy, we must create a stable and united surrounding environment for Datang, which is conducive to the development of Datang, and all signs of destruction must be nip in the bud as soon as possible." Do you understand? I said in a deep voice to the principals of the various levels of the Concert Academy.

All the personnel nodded in agreement, I took a sip of water, stood up, buried my head in thought, and said: "Now, Liaodong has been owned by my Datang, and now, our intelligence focus has shifted from Liaodong to the west of Datang, but the intelligence work of the Japanese people, Baekje, Silla, and the Tatar people is by no means slack, and I don't want Your Majesty's efforts to fail." ”

"Xia Guan understands." Everyone stood up and saluted me respectfully.

"Okay, you all go down and get busy, Li Xiaode, you stay, I have something to say to you." After dispersing the others, Lee Hyo-deok stayed.

I took two steps and motioned for Li Xiaode to sit down: "Listen to Qiu Laoyan, your hometown is Guangzhou?" ”

Li Xiaode was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Exactly, Xiaguan's hometown is Guangzhou, and now his father and brothers and sisters are all in Guangzhou." ”

"Oh!" I nodded and smiled at Li Xiaode: "Talk to me about the situation over there?" Don't be restrained, let's just talk, Fang has not been to the north of Datang and Jiangnan except for me, so I want to know more about the situation, and when the time comes, the official will also arrange the future work. ”

---------------------------------------------------- I have always had a plan in my heart since I came back from Liaodong, the first is about the permanent occupation and development rights of Datang Liaodong, these two points are extremely important, and the other point is the Maritime Silk Road, now the rise of the Great Food Country, for Datang, the land Silk Road will be affected to a certain extent, however, this will not stop the pace of Datang's expedition. I will find a way to continue to encourage Datang to advance to Central Asia, however, for maritime transportation, it is also the top priority, the development of the Maritime Silk Road is a major event for Datang that is related to the millennium, and there is another point, that is, food!

That's right, it is grain, grain has a very important position for the stability of a country's power, and in later generations, I am a southerner, growing up in the barren Guizhou Plateau, the sky is clear, the ground is not three feet flat, this is the impression of Guizhou in the eyes of everyone, for Guizhou, grain production and development are equally important.

This point is also very applicable to the bitter cold land of Liaodong, now, North and South America and my Datang are thousands of miles away, potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and other high drought-tolerant crops can not be introduced at least within ten to twenty years, although the navigation industry of the Tang Dynasty compared to the Han Dynasty, the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the Sui Dynasty have achieved great progress and development, however, the ocean technology has not yet fully matured, which makes me very annoyed.

Therefore, I can only set my sights on the southern sea of Datang, where there is at least one good thing that I know, that is, the so-called Champa rice. What I do know is that Champa rice was only introduced from South Asia during the Song Dynasty in China, but when I came, the arrival of the great travelers will always bring progress and prosperity to the life, politics, economy and other aspects of the Chinese nation. I'm proud of that.

At least, I know that in the south of China, today's Zhuguo, Zhenla, Linyi and other places are the hometowns of the Later Zhancheng Rice, and at this time, it is time for me, a great pioneer of time, to make another meritorious contribution for the people of the Tang Dynasty. More importantly, the rice of Zhancheng is extremely resistant to drought and flooding, it grows regardless of the place, the growth period is extremely short, and it only takes more than 50 days from planting to harvesting, and it is the best rice seed in ancient times that I know, and it is most suitable for the feudal imperialist agrarian society at the present stage.

I was thinking while listening to Li Xiaode talk about various matters in Guangzhou, which is currently the largest port in the Tang Dynasty and has been a frontier station for national trade since the Sui Dynasty. Merchants from all over the world must first go to Guangzhou, and the city envoys "use their famous things to buy their feet, and prohibit rare and strange things", and then let them be resold to major cities in the Tang Dynasty.
