Chapter Ninety-Three: Brothers

Faced with Qin Fan's explanation, Fang Xuanling was a little puzzled.

"How can you be sure that the other party will change the process because of one of your drawings?"

Qin Fan waved his hand and put a drawing in Fang Xuanling's hand.

"It's because the fishing boats built according to this drawing are several times stronger than their existing ones in every way, unless they are fools, they will definitely be willing to switch to the new fishing boat drawings."

"If you don't believe it, just ask a craftsman to check the drawing."

Hearing this, Fang Xuanling raised his eyebrows: "In this case, the fishing boat is so good, but you gave it to Ryukyu for free, instead of paying tribute to the imperial court, what is your intention?"

Qin Fan was slightly surprised.

This person's level is okay!

When he told him about the advantages of the fishing boat and gave him the drawing, he just accepted it casually, and then did not continue to dwell on the performance of the fishing boat.

Instead, he followed his own words and rebelled against an army!

"I have to say, you're smarter than the one surnamed Sun!" Qin Fan said like this.

"The surname Sun?"

"It's an auxiliary machine." Li Shimin explained quietly.

"Please also ask Qin County Ling to answer my question positively, don't talk about him left and right!" Fang Xuanling said in a straight voice.

Qin Fan shook his head and said:

"First of all, the Ryukyu Kingdom is located in the middle of my Tang Dynasty and Dongying, and the fishing industry of the Ryukyus is not the same as that of the Tang Dynasty."

"The fishing habits of the Ryukyus are not similar to the fishing habits of my Tang Dynasty."

"So the fishing boats that are suitable for use in the Ryukyus may not be suitable for my Datang!"

Fang Xuanling shook his head slightly: "According to your previous description, even if it is not completely applicable, as long as this boat is built, my Datang fishermen can go to sea several times safer!" The harvest is greater than ever!"

Qin Fan can't be otherwise: "You are right about this, but if I tell you that I have blueprints of fishing boats that are more suitable for the construction of my Tang Dynasty, how about it?"

Fang Xuanling was surprised: "You still have such a masterpiece?"

Qin Fan pouted: "It's just some small fishing boats! It's the battleship blueprints, and I have several! It's just that I won't need it for a while."

"Are you a descendant of the Ghost Valley?"

Fang Xuanling's speculation is not groundless.

First of all, Li Er has asked Qin Fan for advice many times, which shows that Qin Fan has an outstanding vision in politics.

At the same time, the answer given by Qin Fan could make Li Er agree.

This proves that he not only has a unique vision, but also is unique in strategy.

At the same time, Qin Fan was able to give so many architectural drawings and invent all kinds of magical objects.

Fang Xuanling searched all over the past and the present, and only the Guigu Zongheng family was somewhat consistent with Qin Fan's performance.

Guiguzi, whose name is Wang Xu, is named Guiguzi because he lives in the Guigu Valley of Yunmeng Mountain.

Guiguzi was a strategist and a master of the art of war of the Warring States period.

The famous Su Qin and Zhang Yi in the Warring States were all his disciples.

Even Sun Bin and Pang Juan have learned the art of war from him.

He is a saint alongside Confucius!

Facing Fang Xuanling's questioning, Qin Fan just smiled and shook his head, pulling the topic back from his identity to the tributary trade itself.

"This first point is because I have prepared better and more suitable drawings for Datang."

"And secondly, our Datang and Ryukyu are close brothers, helping them develop, and also helping my Datang to develop!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin directly refuted:

"You're not right! At the beginning of the year, they attacked Goguryeo, but the Ryukyus did not come out!"

"Now I have sent a large number of tributes, and what I ask for is that my Heavenly Empire will not be guilty of the past."

"How can such a small land as the Ryukyu Kingdom be worthy of my Tang brothers?"

Qin Fan smiled and said, "Boss Li is right, but the so-called brothers are not in the present, but in the future!"

"As I said before, the geographical location of the Ryukyus is excellent, and I am the greatest

It is a strategic location for Tang Bi and one of the hubs for the development of maritime trade in the future."

"If that's the case, wouldn't it be better for my Datang to directly attack that Ryukyu! Such a strategic location, rather than being controlled by a vassal state, should be taken back for one's own use!"

Li Shimin showed his domineering spirit as an emperor!

Qin Fan shook his head: "It's much better to let the Ryukyu Kingdom be there than to directly control it from my Tang Dynasty."

"If this is under the control of my Datang, the caravan passing by will be in awe, but the development is too slow."

"But the Ryukyus are different, such a small country, there are no scruples about passing by, but it can make this place more lively!"

This is the same reason that in later generations, important international conferences were held in some small neutral countries.

Because the Ryukyu Kingdom was weak, the caravans of the various countries were able to come and go freely without any scruples.

And if it is changed to Datang, it will not have such a big heart for convenience.

In this way, of course, it is order that is sacrificed!

The Ryukyus are small and cannot intimidate other countries.

But at the beginning of the development of maritime trade, what was needed more than order was activity!

As for order, you can wait for Datang to get enough benefits.

After the maritime trade is formed, it is slowly regularized.

"Therefore, although Ryukyu is currently afraid and in awe of my Datang, he will definitely become my Datang's own brother in the future."

"You must also become my brother of the Tang Dynasty!"

"That's why I sent so much supplies to the Ryukyu emissaries."

After that, Qin Fan concluded:

"The war can bend the soldiers, with the national strength of my Tang Dynasty, Ryukyu will not dare to disobey in person, but it is inevitable that the yin and yang will be disobeyed behind the scenes."

"The only way to do this is to give both grace and power, to grasp people's hearts, and to make a long-term plan!"

"This is the way of the Emperor, and it can be used elsewhere!"

Qin Fan said with deep meaning.

"Envy and ......" Li Shimin fell into deep thought, he has done this all these years!

Qin Fan's plan is really extraordinary!

Li Er's anger disappeared.

Since it is for the future layout of Datang, it doesn't hurt to pay 100,000 silver taels now!

Fang Xuanling was also impressed by Qin Fan's resourcefulness.

No wonder His Majesty has repeatedly asked this person!

"Qin County's order is really talented!"

This is, Li Er also said to Fang Xuanling with a smile:

"In addition to being far more strategic than the world, Brother Qin also has a hand in cooking! You'll have to taste it later."

When Fang Xuanling heard this, he also felt hungry in his belly.

Indeed, if you eat little in the morning and run around like your majesty like this, you should be hungry at this point in time.

But......

The knots in Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling's hearts were unraveled.

But Qin Fan didn't have such a good temper.

You suddenly broke in the door and accused me, I explained to you so much, you didn't apologize, but you wanted to rub the rice with a big face?

There is no such thing in the world!

"You're going to be disappointed!" Qin Fan said lightly.

Hearing this, Li Shimin was anxious.

It's rare to come to Wannian County once, in addition to discussing business, isn't it just to eat?

"Why is that?"
