Looking at the list in his hand, Li Shimin was also in a trance.

That kid is really good, he catches a sheep and kills him!

This is to take the money from the treasury and go to the vassal countries!

He, Li Shimin, has never been so generous to his subjects!

If the content of this list is leaked, it will be known to all officials.

Then the impeachment of Qin Fan will inevitably fill the entire imperial study room in one day.

"Don't say that the treasury can't stand it, even I can't stand it!"

Li Shimin rubbed his swollen temples and said helplessly.

"Then let's not approve it?" Fang Xuanling asked tentatively.

To be honest, if the amount was a little smaller, he would have gritted his teeth and approved it.

But now, Qin Fan has given too much!

In order to leave enough money for disaster relief in various places, Fang Xuanling had to dismiss the matter in order to save face.

However, Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said, "Give it to him!"

"Your Majesty?!" Fang Xuanling exclaimed.

"But before giving it to him, I'm going to ask, why did he give so much to that Ryukyu? How dare he give so much to that Ryukyu!"

Li Shimin said word by word.

Needless to say, this emperor is puzzled! Angry!

He wants to figure out why the person he likes is so backstabbing him and backstabbing Datang!

So, the two quickly changed their faces and went from the imperial study to Wannian County.

But at this time, Fang Xuanling did not have half of the joy of going out on patrol with the emperor, and some were only full of doubts and sadness.

Li Shimin was very angry, so the horse also ran fast.

Of course, the groom said that the horse knew what His Majesty meant, but he never mentioned that he had raised the whip for miles.

Wannian County Ya, this time the gate was kicked open at one time.

"Qin Fan, you come out for me!"

「？」 Qin Fan looked at the two people who broke in, looking confused.

How do you feel so familiar with this scene?

"I'm your mother......

As before, in the face of Li Er, who broke in, Qin Fan once again turned on the Zu'an mode.

Fang Xuanling on the side was stunned.

This kid doesn't know how much of a mistake he has made, and he dares to insult His Majesty!

Hurriedly rushed forward and stopped:

"Boy! Stop scolding, we came to you this time for something important!"

Qin Fan looked at the old man in front of him, only to think that the other party was a friend of Boss Li, and opened his mouth to say:

"If there is something, knock on the door, how can there be a reason to break in."

"If I'm doing that! Have you not been seen if you have broken in like this?"

"Good boy, you still plan to announce it during the day?" Li Er, who was already angry, pointed at Qin Fan's nose and scolded again.

Qin Fan pursed his lips: "I'm just making an analogy! What the hell is going on with you, I'm still busy collecting tribute, so don't bother me if it's okay."

Hearing this, Li Er also suppressed his anger:

"I ask you, why did you promise so many things to the Ryukyu envoy!"

Qin Fan smiled, "Doesn't this show the demeanor of my Heavenly Empire?"

Fang Xuanling frowned: "Even if you show your style, you can't be such a loser!" Do you know how many people in the customs area don't have enough to eat?"

Seeing the other party's serious expression, Qin Fan stopped joking.

"Boss Li, you are quite well-informed, as soon as I submit my list, you will know. Presumably, the court has already made a fuss about this matter now!"

Li Shimin glared at Qin Fan: "You still have the face to say!"

But in fact, the only people who saw the list at this time were Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling.

But if Li Shimin really plans to give it according to the list, then the next morning, he will inevitably be impeached again and again.

And what he hates"

Your Majesty, please think twice", and it will come as promised.

"In fact, this matter is a long-term investment for Datang, and there is no harm in it!"

"What do you mean by that?"

"The Ryukyu Kingdom is a vassal state of my Tang Dynasty, and it has a close relationship with my Tang Dynasty."

Qin Fan's intimacy is actually ambiguous.

The suzerainty and the vassal state are actually the relationship between the eldest brother and the younger brother.

Some vassal states were closely related to their suzerain, while others were relatively distant.

Although the Ryukyu Kingdom has always been subordinate to the Tang Dynasty, it can be seen from the reluctance of the other party to send troops at the beginning of the year, in fact, the relationship between the two sides is not good enough to wear a pair of pants.

And what's more, this time the Ryukyu Kingdom came to pay tribute, and it was to ask for forgiveness from the eldest brother.

In this way, such a tributary trade means that Datang will not give anything, and the other party has nothing to say!

But what Qin Fan allowed to go out was several times the other party's tribute.

"I don't think that our Tang Dynasty and Ryukyu can be so close that you can send four thousand years of Yulu with a small county order!"

Li Shimin scoffed.

When Qin Fan heard this, he didn't care much:

"Listen to me."

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and clasped his hands in front of his chest.

His meaning was obvious: I was watching and see if you could name a flower.

"First of all, the strength of the relationship depends on the interaction between the two countries, but what is more important is what the two sides can bring to each other."

"The effect of one mere Ryukyus, only three prefectures and five states, what can it bring to my Tang Dynasty?" Li Shimin scoffed.

"Ryukyu is the beam of all nations, connecting the north and the south."

"If the Tang Dynasty were to trade with other countries from north to south by sea, it would inevitably pass through the Ryukyus, which would be the best supply and transit point for the Tang Dynasty."

"Wait! Datang trades with other countries? If they all trade like you, my Datang treasury will not be enough to lose everything!" Li Shimin was really angry, so his words were extremely spicy.

"How can this be the same? This tribute, on the one hand, is to lay the foundation for the development of the Ryukyus, and on the other hand, it is also for the people of Mannian County!"

"I don't take this opportunity to get more money for the people, and as soon as the wealthy families are blocked, won't they go hungry."

Qin Fan pursed his lips and continued:

"If I trade with the Tang Dynasty, I can emulate the Han Dynasty, when Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions, it was the land road to take."

"And the maritime trade routes I am talking about can not only connect more countries; Save more time; Ship more cargo. In terms of transportation costs and storage, it is far better than land transportation."

"In addition, the Ryukyu Dynasty also has abundant fishing resources, and I have now taught them shipbuilding skills, and in the future, my Tang Dynasty can also obtain sufficient fish supplies through the Ryukyu Dynasty."

"What's more, don't they need to buy wood from my Datang when they build ships?"

"I've calculated that the wood needed for each medium-sized fishing boat can cost two thousand taels of silver, while the cost of logging and transportation is less than five hundred."

"In other words, they only need to purchase timber from 100 fishing boats, and they can earn back their investment, and even have a surplus."

Qin Fan narrated these benefits......
