180 Princess of the East Sea
At this point, all the business for today is finished.
Li Shimin beckoned, and Tang Tang ran over.
"Second uncle and grandfather, were you giving them an official just now?"
She naturally didn't know the meaning of those rewards, but after all, she grew up in the Tang family, and she had heard of any princess since she was a child.
"Yes, they all worked so hard to help Uncle and Grandpa and Datang do a lot of things, so Uncle and Grandpa gave them the title of official to thank them!"
Li Shimin scratched her little nose, making her giggle.
"Then second uncle and grandfather, why didn't you give my father an official? Didn't he help his uncle and grandfather and Datang? In the past, when my father was not at home, Aunt Xiaoluo said that my father went to help Datang do things?"
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud.
"Look at it, look at your daughter, I know I feel sorry for you at such a young age!" Li Shimin pointed at Tang Ping and smiled.
Of course, he won't forget Tang Ping's reward, but he planned to announce it in front of hundreds of civil and military officials after returning to Chang'an, but he didn't expect Tang Tang to know that he would help his father fight grievances.
"Then how big do you think I should give your father?" Li Shimin lowered his head and asked Tang Tang with a smile.
"Don't give your dad an official!" Tang Tang's words were amazing, so Li Shimin didn't expect it.
"Why?" Li Shimin asked curiously.
"Because he became a big official, Dad is going out again." Tang Tang said seriously, "So I think my second uncle and grandfather should give me a big official, so that when my father goes out in the future, he can take me with him!"
In her heart, she felt that Tang Ping went out because he became a big official, and the reason why he didn't bring himself was because he was not a big official.
So she didn't come to fight Tang Ping, but to reward herself.
Li Shimin didn't expect Tang Tang to think like this, and he was amused to laugh again.
"Okay, if Tang Tang wants to be a big official, he can be a big official, so how big an official do you want to be?"
"The biggest!" Tang Tang was afraid that he wouldn't understand, so his two little hands stretched out to the longest and drew a circle, not to mention how cute he looked when he opened his teeth and claws.
"Okay, well, the second uncle and grandfather will make you one of the biggest officials!" Li Shimin looked at her dotingly: "Second uncle and grandfather named you ...... Princess of the East Sea, how's it going?"
"Is it big?" Tang Tang was afraid that he would be too small.
"It's very big, your mother is also a princess, don't you believe you asked her?"
"Second uncle, Tang Tang is just joking." Tang Ping didn't expect Li Shimin to take it seriously, and said.
"But I'm not kidding, you don't joke!" Li Shimin looked at Tang Ping with a smile: "Tell me about you, how many times have I said that I want to give you the title of county king, but you have refused, and what do you say to me, you like the title of Pingguo Gong, isn't it good to hear the king of Pingguo?"
Tang Ping's face was black, why did he talk about himself again, he really didn't care about this.
Now he feels that there are too many positions, and now that he has Tang Tang, he is even more willing to stay in Shanghe Village and wait for his daughter to die.
[In view of the general environment,
Who wants to be the king of this county, and when the time comes, he may hand over some troublesome things to himself.
Moreover, the pattern between the DPRK and China is actually very delicate, and Tang Ping doesn't know much about it, but he doesn't want to fall into it too much.
However, Li Shimin wants to seal Tang Tang as a princess.
Originally, Tang Tang's mother, Wang Qingluan, was originally the queen of Dongyue, Tang Tang was born as the county lord, and now she has been promoted to a princess, and no one will say anything.
After all, this kind of reward for women in this era is also an honor, and it will not change the political pattern of the DPRK and China.
So Li Shimin said so, so let's do it.
Tang Tang was the only one there who cheered: "Tang Tang is a big official, Tang Tang
Be a great official!"
After the celebration banquet, the East China Sea Fleet will be directly in the Ryukyus...... No, it's time to call it the treasure island of Taiwan.
They will rest for half a month on the treasure island of Taiwan before continuing northward and returning to Chang'an via Dongyue by the same route.
Of course, some of them will be stationed in coastal ports such as Taiwan and East Vietnam in the future.
It's just that instead of these corsair ships, they will all be replaced with steam-powered warships.
And Tang Ping took Li Shimin, them, and Lao Cui, Lao Du and a few others back to Chang'an again.
When Li Shimin returned to the palace, he should quickly arrange for the prefect to go to Taiwan to take up his post and complete the handover of the monk Sixian.
Tang Ping checked a lot of information and sorted out a map of Taiwan's mineral resources.
Now that this is its own territory, of course this mineral resource map can be taken out.
Although modern Taiwan's coal mines have basically dried up, with an annual output of less than 100,000 tons, it does not mean that there are no coal mines in Taiwan.
You must know that in 1864 alone, the export of coal from Taiwan reached 4,315 tons.
Coal for steam-powered warships was an important fuel, and if they were all supplied from the mainland, the cost would be much higher.
And if coal mines are excavated on the spot in Taiwan, then the scope of activities of the Datang warships on the island of Taiwan will be further increased in the future.
In addition, Taiwan is also rich in gold and silver minerals, which were frantically stolen during the period occupied by Xiaori.
These are huge wealth, and as long as they can be mined properly, they are definitely a great income.
Datang has been developing at a high speed, although it is making more and more money, but it is also being used more and more.
Tang Ping has been out for more than a year, and the roads between the capitals of the entire Tang Dynasty have been half cement roads, and more than half of them are charcoal slag roads.
In the next step, Datang will start to slowly replace the roads between all the capitals with concrete roads.
Even the roads leading from the capital to its subordinate secondary cities were made of cement or cinder.
If you want to get rich, you must first build roads, and now Li Shimin can't understand it anymore, and he is extremely fanatical about infrastructure.
For a long time, the household department has just received the tax revenue from the left hand, and it has to be used by the Ministry of Industry to build infrastructure.
So no amount of money he felt was enough.
After getting Tang Ping's map of mineral resources, Li Shimin was overjoyed, and he didn't even have time to wait for the East China Sea Fleet to return to Chang'an, but directly sent the Ministry of Industry to take the newly built warship to the south, and after joining the East China Sea Fleet halfway, he took people to Taiwan to build the mine first.
"Hey, Tang Ping, I think I can give you the title of king with these mineral maps, why don't you think about it? If you don't think the king of Pingguo is good, I'll change you to another one?"
"Don't, no, I'm just here to send you this mineral map, if it's okay, I'll go back, today I said that I would take a bath with Tang Tang to give Chubby a bath."
Xiaopang is now an adult panda, but because Li Bai is very well domesticated, he is very obedient.
Tang Tang has played with it since he was a child and grew up together.
Now if Chubby is next to Tang Tang, even if Tang Ping wants to get close, it will grin at Tang Ping.
Of course, the consequence is basically that Li Bai will be hit with a big pen.
