The Tang State took advantage of the contradictions of various countries to steal chickens behind their backs, and the population swelled to 400,000 in just three years, so they most wanted to maintain the current international situation.

Fu Jian, who was praised by Wen Yi as a generation of heroes, took the throne, but in their opinion, it was a good thing.

Of course, it is indeed a good thing.

Otherwise, who will stop Murong Jun, who is reckless and has become a general trend?

Chen Xiu continued: "If Fu Jian can really become the lord of the Qin State as expected by the king, then it means that the situation in the Central Plains will not change much in five years. ”

"This is very good news for us to get more of the resources we need from countries through trade."

"But our eyes should not be limited to the Central Plains, but more importantly, our own development...... We want to use these five years to complete our territorial expansion. ”

Wen Yi showed a thoughtful expression.

Xue Dayuan and the others frowned, they didn't seem to like his radical strategy very much, they thought that what the Tang State needed most was to slowly accumulate strength.

Guo Jiting questioned unceremoniously: "What my Tang State needs to do most should be to appease the displaced people and train the army, so as to wait for the changes in the Central Plains, rather than blindly expanding." ”

Chen Xiu was not angry, and said with a smile: "That's true, but you also said that you can't blindly expand instead of not expanding." ”

"And the best way to train soldiers is actual combat, and it is necessary to find a suitable battlefield for the soldiers."

Chai Ben immediately said: "I support this, training alone cannot train good soldiers, and real good soldiers are fought out." ”

The weight of the privy envoy's opening was naturally different, and the crowd did not blindly object, but asked, "I don't know where you want to expand?" ”

Chen Xiu pointed to the map and said, "Here, Luzon." ”

Wen Yi said in his heart that Luzon is indeed the best direction for the next expansion. Even if Chen Xiu doesn't say it, he has plans in this regard.

The two of them thought of going together.

"In fact, if it weren't for the iron ore and copper mines that we need on Hainan Island, I think it would be more important for us to occupy Luzon."

Zhou Qi couldn't help but ask, "Why?" ”

Chen Xiuxin asked a good question and replied: "Two reasons, distance and population. Hainan Island is more than 2,000 miles away from us, and it is very inconvenient to govern it. ”

"And it is flanked by Guangzhou, Jiaozhou and Linyi, once we move our minds, it is always a troublesome thing for us."

"Look at Luzon Island again, the nearest place is only 600 miles away from us, and it is isolated overseas, far away from the mainland, and there is no need to worry about the incursion of foreign enemies."

"There are at least 200,000 natives on the island, which is very backward, without its own writing and country, and there are very few iron tools."

"Attacking this place is a good exercise for our soldiers, but it won't cause too much damage."

"After taking here, we can easily complete assimilation, and with these 200,000 people, the total population of our Tang Kingdom will exceed 600,000."

"At that time, it doesn't matter if our real situation is known to outsiders, 600,000 people are already a country that is not weak, maybe the offensive ability is insufficient, but it is enough to protect itself."

"Even we can intervene more directly in the Central Plains war, so that the situation of confrontation between all parties can be maintained for a longer time, and our Tang Kingdom can get more benefits from it."

"Bang Bang!" Wen Yi was the first to applaud, and then Chai Ben, Xue Dayuan, Wei Ran and others also applauded.

Guo Jiting was very unhappy in his heart, but he also knew that after Wen Yi's statement, the matter was a foregone conclusion, and his opposition was not only useless, but also completely torn his face with Chen Xiu.

So I also put on a happy look and applauded.

Chen Xiu was also very excited, but he tried to put on a calm appearance on his face.

Wen Yi said: "Chen Qing's idea coincides with mine, and it is also my second step plan to do it on Luzon, but I have never found a suitable opportunity. ”

"The situation in the Central Plains will not change much for at least five years, and we can take advantage of this time to occupy here."

"As for how to occupy and how to rule, you and the Privy Council have consulted and come up with a complete plan. I won't be involved in this plan too much, it's up to you to make it up to you. ”

"But I can remind you that this is ......," he said, putting his finger on the place of Manila in his previous life, "it is the best port in Luzon." ”

"Of course, it's up to you what to do, don't be misled by my words."

"There is a lot of information about Luzon Island in the Weiwei Division, Zhao Zhengzhi will go back and you will sort it out and show it to them."

Zhao Zhengzhi got up and said, "Yes." ”

After arranging the matter, Wen Yi got up and said, "Okay, the meeting is dismissed, you discuss it carefully, and give me the answer in three days." ”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

He can go to these courtiers, so they will come to the cabinet meeting room together to continue the meeting. Zhao Zhengzhi asked people to quickly take the materials from Luzon Island, and everyone gathered around to read them.

The information that Wei Wei Si can collect is really limited in the case of language barriers, but it is enough for Tang Guo.

At least the terrain and landforms are known, and the large tribes also know what they are, so that they will not be blinded.

……

On the other hand, Wen Yi went straight to Xie Daoyun's dormitory in the Qinzheng Palace.

He ended the meeting so quickly, just to go back to the harem early. The reason is also very simple, Xie Daoyun is born.

Half a month ago, Xie Daoyun gave birth to a child again, and Wen Yi naturally wanted to accompany her more.

When I arrived at the harem, I first saw two little beans playing with sand in the garden.

The two children are none other than the three-year-old Xiao Li and the two-and-a-half-year-old Xiao Miao.

Well, Xiao Miao is the daughter of Chai Ben and Shui Liu, Xiao Li's best friend, and the two often play together.

Seeing her here, Wen Yi was not surprised at all, and said with a smile: "Xiao Miao, how did you get here." ”

The little girl with pigtails was playing happily in the sand, and she didn't care about him at all.

The nurse who was waiting on the side hurriedly replied: "See the king, we came here with my wife, and my wife is talking to my mother in the house." ”

Wen Yi nodded and continued to tease: "Xiao Miao, why don't you ignore me." ”

The little girl was annoyed by the question, and said angrily: "Get up, I hate it." ”

"......" Wen Yi touched his nose and entered the house in a gray manner.

Shui Liu, who was holding a big belly, hurriedly got up and saluted, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, no outsiders do this for anyone to see." ”

Shui Liu still insisted on finishing the ceremony, and then said with a smile: "I just told Niangniang that you should come back, and you really came back." ”

"When will that fool in my family be so good to me, I can wake up with a smile in my dreams."

Wen Yi smiled: "No, I often see Sanniu working alone in the yamen. ”

"Ask him why he didn't go home, he said that you are busy working all day and not at home, and he won't go back if he doesn't have the fun to go back, who is talking nonsense between the two of you?"

Xie Daoyun said with a smile: "This time I stand three cows, Sister Shui is busy every day, and she is about to take the academy as her home." ”
