Chapter 1060: Declaration of War (Call for a Monthly Pass)

When King Luo Bin saw that he moved me, he was very relieved, and he smiled to himself: "King Bin and Gongzi intersected, that is, they came for Gongzi's character and knowledge. ”

At the request of the faculty and staff of the Datang Qujiang Academy, after the discussion and approval of the Datang Qujiang Academy Federation, "The Theory of Heavenly Evolution" officially became a compulsory course of the Datang Qujiang Academy, and the students of the academy each had a book, and what also surprised me was that after the Datang Royal Military Academy heard the news, it also applied to me.

Although some Wenchen are very complaining about the military academy's move, the problem is that the Tang Royal Military Academy is not under their jurisdiction, and they can't intervene in the teaching of the academy at all, so they can only do that boot tickling, Uncle Li still put on a posture of ignoring it, anyway, there is Uncle Li Jing, the god of the Tang Dynasty, standing here in front, after they say a few crooked words, they can naturally only be speechless.

However, in various newspapers and magazines, the controversy about "The Theory of Heavenly Evolution" has come and gone, and the quarrel has become a mess, and this son has also joined the battle group after a few days, and he is very enthusiastic to follow these people to fight together. In addition, I also made a statement in the newspapers and periodicals, if there is anyone who is not convinced by Ben Gongzi's "Theory of Heavenly Evolution", yes, on the tenth day of the first lunar month, Ben Gongzi will be in the Qujiang Forum, waiting for you to come to the debate, to see how wrong Ben Gongzi's doctrine is?

As soon as this statement was published, it was immediately echoed by the vast majority of readers, who were against me, who agreed with me, or who remained neutral, and who believed that this was the best solution. I can finally breathe a sigh of relief, in this have been scratching, ushered in the new year, this year, Datang can be described as a bumper harvest, not only refers to food and taxes, but also refers to the diplomacy and construction of Datang, Datang directly to the Tiele Zhubu of the towering Khan Road has been all repaired and began to use, from Chang'an can take a four-wheeled carriage to Xiaohai, along the way sixty-eight fortresses have become sixty-eight famous Tang merchants and nomads to trade and trade between the large-scale goods distribution center.

As a result, the Tang Dynasty was able to strengthen trade and cultural exchanges with the nomads, and made due contributions to the Tang Dynasty's control of the nomads in the northern steppe areas. In addition, most of the straight road from Chang'an to the Persian capital has been repaired, and in a year at most, there will be a smooth road between the Tang Dynasty and Persia, which is more convenient for business travelers, and it is also more convenient for the Tang Empire to migrate people to live in the Persian capital.

------------------------------------------------ present, because of Uncle Li's hint and the permission of the political axe organization, among the tens of thousands of elites of the Tang Expeditionary Force who obey the orders of the Tang Persian Protectorate, there are already many families of soldiers who have accompanied Xi Junmai after a migration journey of 10,000 miles and arrived in the area of the Persian Protectorate to live, with a total of more than 3,500 households and more than 20,000 people. In addition, those bachelors in the army took concubines and wives in the local area, but the number of households has increased a lot, but it is not too much, and it is only more than 5,000 households when added to the relocated households.

In addition, there are a lot of merchants who have been stationed in the Tang Persian Protectorate for a long time, at least there are about 2,000 Tang Dynasty merchants, and other Central Asian barbarian merchants as far as the West have also come a lot, more than twice as many as the merchants in the Tang Dynasty, making the Tang Persian Protectorate, which originally seemed a little deserted, is now noisy and lively, and there is already a budding development trend of an international trade city.

In addition, Uncle Cheng is still making trouble on the Tubo Plateau, picking his head everywhere, and Nepal is under the teasing of this bad old man, and the relationship between the Tubo Luocheng group represented by Lu Dongzan is in the midst of a dramatic deterioration, according to Uncle Cheng's letter, the old guy patted his chest and promised that he would be given another three or five months at most, and the two sides would be able to pinch up, and when the time came, Datang would be able to obtain greater benefits.

Well, the old cheeky man, I'm afraid that he is clearly spying on the geographical location of Nepal, because if Datang occupies Tubo and Nepal, he will be able to enter and exit Tianzhu from both directions, and Uncle Li Ji does not need to go back to Datang after conquering the land of Tianzhu, and he can do Uncle Cheng a favor and pinch Nepal out.

Well, Qiansi's spoils industry has been pulled to Yanjing Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, countless ivory, jewelry, gold, spices, so that Uncle Li is happy, these trophies and other soldiers after returning to China, will be converted into cash, draw out 20% to reward the merits of the soldiers, in addition to various honors and rewards.

General Chang made a suggestion to Uncle Lee, and with Uncle Lee's permission, he began to build a large port and shipyard in the place where Singapore would become the city, which is now named Cape City by General Chang, so that local materials could be used to make better warships using locally produced teak, which was recognized as the best shipbuilding material in the world before the advent of steel.

General Zhang's proposal was immediately supported by the veteran ruffians of the Datang General Staff, and Uncle Li did not hesitate, but directly agreed to General Zhang's request, because in this area of the Indochina Peninsula, teak can be found almost everywhere, and the establishment of a shipyard here is not only to obtain local materials, but also to build a shipyard here, not only to obtain local materials, but also to Uncle Li also saw the importance of this Cape City, which is not only in an excellent geographical location, but also as long as the Tang Dynasty occupies here, After so many years of exploration, Uncle Li and the high-level political institutions of the Tang Dynasty have understood that the rich mineral deposits and products of the South Asian islands are important to the prosperity of the Tang Empire.

And Li Zhi and I, who were falling behind all the ministers, were watching these trophies, while evaluating the products, I was not interested in ivory and rhino horn at all, but I was very partial to those spices, jewelry, gold and other things, Li Zhi was very curious: "Brother Jun, are these things useless in your eyes?" ”

"Although it is not useless, it is useless, but these spices are still the appetite of the teacher." I pinched a piece of sandalwood in front of the root, put it under my nose and sniffed it, this purple sandalwood exudes a unique fragrance, which is a pure natural and precious fragrance that no synthetic flavor or perfume can match, and it is simply a gift from nature to us human beings.

Seeing me like this, Li Zhi could only shake his head, but this guy was stunned while looking at these things, and I, looking at so many rare treasures in front of me, couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that we don't have enough manpower to enter the concert hall, alas, ......"

"Brother Jun, what do you mean by that?" Li Zhi didn't get it. I sighed with emotion: "You think, the world is so big, the task of my Tang Jinjuan Academy is too heavy, it is difficult to devote energy to discovering new species and islands, so as to worry. ”

Li Zhi smiled: "It's nothing, look for it slowly, for more than 100 years, you can always find out these places, and you don't need to be in a hurry." ”

------------------------------------------------ "It's not a matter of urgency or not, I think that in fact, I Datang can go further and faster in this area." I slowly threw away such a sentence, Li Zhi on the side was holding an ivory and gesturing there, hearing me say this, I couldn't help but be stunned, threw the ivory back into the box, and asked me: "Brother Jun, is it true?" ”

"Can I still coax you, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty?" I put my hands behind my back and walked slowly with a confident attitude: "If this strategy can be done for the sake of the teacher, don't let the country spend more time and effort to explore, when the time comes, my Tang Empire will not need to spend a penny at all to expand the territory of my Tang Dynasty, and all it will pay is a few medals and some benefits." ”

"Some interests, what interests?" Li Zhi is quite sensitive to the word interests, and it seems that interests now account for more than half of the proportion of his thinking structure in his mind.

I looked around first, there was no one on the side, Uncle Li and a group of old hooligans were admiring a very beautiful parrot with a red and green beak in front of me, as if they wanted to make the bird chirp, pitiful, a bunch of old hooligans, playing with birds I don't know whose bird it was...... Well, it's not mine anyway.

Li Zhi saw that I looked like a ghost, and his voice couldn't help but lower, but his tone was quite excited: "Brother Jun, don't tease Xiaozhi, talk about it quickly." ”

Well, it's good that no one pays attention to this, I leaned into Li Zhi's ear and whispered, Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, and his face gradually changed from doubt to joy, and he turned around and grabbed me and said: "Okay, you handsome brother, it turns out that you have such a good strategy, why don't you tell my father early, you are really, it's really the same as what my father said, knock it once, it sounds, knock it again, oops, why did you knock me?" ”
