Hearing Li Xiang talk about business, Changsun Ze also took out all the information that he had sorted out during this period of time, although some of them had been sent briefly, but if you want to introduce it in detail, of course, it is best to say it in person here.

"Back to His Royal Highness, the development of the other side is 20 years behind us, not only they also admire the Tang culture very much, and regularly send envoys to Chang'an to pay tribute, but what we give is something that is not very valuable, but from Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty to exchange a lot of valuable things."

When he talked about this, Changsun Ze's face was a little unhappy, didn't he treat our Datang as a fool? If that's the case, then every time you go to pay tribute, you're actually going to make money every time.

Li Xiang has known this kind of thing for a long time, and it has long been said very clearly in some wild history books in later generations, many of the so-called Wanguo Dynasty are impersonated by locals, but the emperor of the Central Plains is willing to see this, so he will reward them with a large amount of gold and silver, and do the work of an old man, it is better to go to Chang'an for a trip, who is not willing to continue to pay tribute?

This is simply a good way to make a fortune, so in recent years, as long as it is a small tribe in the south, it has to go to the Tang Dynasty to pay tribute at every turn, and take a bunch of local worthless things, but Chang'an City does not have these things, and then exchange them for gold and silver from the imperial court.

"How's the military situation?"

Don't worry about these things now, just wait for the general ledger in the future.

"According to the news I have received over the years, there are a total of about 30,000 troops in the country, but many local people live in the mountains and forests, basically similar to our Tusi master in Sichuan and Shu.

Changsun Ze once sent a small team into the country, and there was a conflict with a village and town in the enemy country, and as a result, the men in the entire village, including children of fifteen or sixteen, were able to fight with weapons, and their weapons were also varied.

But one thing is certain, and that is that these weapons are deadly.

"Your Highness, this place doesn't look like a good place, most of it is hills, and there are no people in many places, why are we occupying this place?"

Changsun Ze thought for a while and said, if it was to be replaced by another person, Changsun Ze naturally didn't dare to say this, but Li Xiang has always liked others to disagree, and corrected his own things in the process of disobedience.

"Many people have such questions, so I'll ask you a simple question first, if you withdraw, and the people on the other side have a conflict with the people of Nanzhao, who do you think will win?"

Li Xiang knew that it was useless to talk about too esoteric things, and they were even more incomprehensible when they talked about the outlet to the sea in the Indian Ocean and the like, who knew where the Indian Ocean was?

Li Xiang got to the point in one sentence, and Changsun De and the generals behind him were also shocked to sweat, why didn't we see this? If there was a conflict between the two of them, the generals of Nanzhao would definitely not be able to resist it.

If Nanzhao is occupied, it will soon be our exclusive territory.

What they are best at is fighting in the mountains and forests, this is their strong point, once they reach the Sichuan and Shu regions of our country, even if we transfer troops to besiege it, it is impossible to say that we will take it down.

"But they shouldn't have the ability to attack Nanzhao, I think they usually live in poverty, even if they eat two meals a day, they will be without food for at least two or three months a year."

After Changsun Ze finished saying this, he felt a little too much to say, isn't this the kind of luck that His Royal Highness Taisun said?

"Think about it yourself, I know by looking at your expression, you should have thought of the key point, as the army of Datang, all we consider is not the gains and losses of this city and place, nor our false name, but how much benefit it will be to the development of Datang in the future."

Li Xiang patted Changsun Ze's shoulder, and he was about to leave the pass.

"Your Highness is going to enter the country of Piao?"

Changsun Ze hurriedly stopped in front, and it was already a very risky thing to let Li Xiang climb the wall of this Anxi City, if you entered the territory of another country, it was not a joke, in case something happened, no matter how much credit you made, this would kill you.

"I've already come here, of course I have to go over and have a look, you can rest assured, there won't be too many problems, and they won't embarrass me as a Datang businessman, right?"

What Li Xiang said was the truth, many businessmen in Datang often went to do business, and I had never heard of them embarrassing our businessmen, mainly because of the lack of local living materials, and Datang's merchants could enrich their lives.

"Yamaji Camp Preparation."

Hearing that Li Xiang was going to prepare to go over, Changsun Ze immediately ordered his most elite Shanzi battalion to prepare.

"You wait for me, if you bring them with you, then I guess no one has any idea about me, then I have to ask who I am, bring the guards and guides around you, and the rest of the people won't need it, don't you think they can guarantee the safety of the two of us?"

If you bring the whole battalion of people, it will be 300 taels of silver here, so Li Xiang is ready to only bring a small number of people, and the 30 guards under him are enough to ensure their safety, these people all have the combat power of 25 people, to put it bluntly, they are martial arts masters.

Changsun Ze hesitated, but thinking of the terrifying combat power of Li Xiang's subordinates, he finally chose to agree, but he had to follow it personally, otherwise, he was not at ease.

The group disguised themselves as business travelers and left Anxi City, and immediately carried some food and other things, which were very in demand abroad.

In the 21st century, these places are good places to produce rice, but unfortunately many areas of the area have not been cultivated, and their seeds are not good, so they are hungry for most of the year, which is like holding a golden bowl for rice.

After leaving the city of rest, Li Xiang saw that the people on the road were also coming and going.

"Which city are we going to?"

For overseas cities, Li Xiang has a black eye.

"The place we went to is called Wacheng, and it is in the territory of their country, just like Luoyang and our Tang Dynasty."

As soon as I heard the name of this place, Li Xiang, I understood, isn't this the city of Mandalay in central Myanmar? It turned out to be called Wacheng in this era, and Li Xiang became more and more interested in this city.
