Li Shimin and others played in the East China Sea for a while, and then went to Southeast Asia by boat.

Li Shimin began his own inspection tour.

Holding a big ship to go to sea, this is something Li Shimin has not experienced before.

He felt so good.

In the middle, he also met the fleet of the Arab Empire, and Li Shimin witnessed a naval battle.

Looking at the scene of a boatload of dead people, Li Shimin fell silent.

"Naval warfare is completely different from land warfare, and it is a battlefield that better reflects the basic strength of the country."

Li Shimin gave his own evaluation.

During this time, he learned through Zhang Liang how many technicians the navy needed, and then looked at the dead in naval battles who had no way out, and he successfully realized why Li Kuan always had to reserve a large number of shipbuilding materials and talent reserves, and he also understood why he let go of Zhang Liang's 500 fakes.

Those five hundred people are really good naval technicians.

Li Shimin took the fleet to various overseas feudal states and saw the prosperous maritime economy.

Looking at the large ships transporting various materials at sea, Li Shimin can feel the prosperity and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

Looking at the islands under construction, Li Shimin's mood was better.

This is all the country he has laid.

The elderly people from all over the country came out to greet Li Shimin.

The children of each family looked at Li Shimin with admiration.

This is the Tang Emperor who their elders keep admiring, he is really handsome and domineering.

It's what they're working towards.

Li Shimin deliberately went to Li Chengqian's island, looked at the bustling spice processing factory on it, and gave him a piece of jade pendant.

This represents a little recognition.

Fang Xuanling, Wei Chigong and others introduced their island to Li Shimin and invited Li Shimin to eat their special fruits here.

However, the bad taste of Champa rice made Li Shimin frown.

"I finally understand why Li Kuan proposed to divide the grain into three, six, nine and so on."

"If this rice is a disaster year, it will be a life-saving thing, and if it is a prosperous age, no one really likes to eat it."

After satisfying the satiety of the stomach and satisfying the satiety of the stomach, everyone who is a mortal naturally begins to pursue taste.

Li Shimin is no exception.

In the past, Li Shimin was very angry at Li Kuan's behavior of dividing grain into three, six, nine, and so on, but now he understands it after tasting the original Zhancheng rice in person.

Li Jing and the others laughed when they heard Li Shimin's words.

"The outside world is not the same as the world inside Datang, there are a lot of good things, you must go around more in the future."

The eldest grandson Wuji warmly invited.

A fluctuation flashed in Li Shimin's eyes.

The outside world is indeed very special, and there are many things that he does not recognize.

"Expanding outward is the right choice I've ever made in my life."

Li Shimin said seriously.

He genuinely felt that the best choice he had made was to expand outward.

Otherwise, how could the family move out, how could these old brothers get a better status, and how could the prosperous Tang Dynasty come so prosperous.

If you don't expand, you don't know that there are a lot of coconuts here, which can make sugar and solve the problem of people eating sugar.

If we don't expand, we don't know that there is Champa rice here, which can solve the problem of land utilization and expand grain production.

Don't expand, don't know. Wait a minute.

came out on this trip, Li Shimin felt that his horizons were really broad.

Especially since he has eaten a lot of things that he didn't even think about before.

A large one-meter-long shell.

Delicious shark fin.

All kinds of strange fish, all of which he had never heard of before.

"Chang'an, it's still too far from the sea, and there are many more materials in this sea than on land."

Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh.

The others didn't say anything.

If it weren't for the fact that the traffic was not allowed, they all felt that they could achieve the difficult task of eating meat by fishing the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Killing a whale yields immeasurable meat, much cooler than a cow.

That is, it is not easy to transport, but if it is easy to transport, the banquet of the Great Dynasty will inevitably eat the whole whale feast.

Whale bones had to be made into specimens and placed in the middle of the streets of Chang'an City.

Don't ask for anything else, just ask for a cool.

Just ask for one to let the people know what is called the glory of the Tang Dynasty.

Such a terrifying sea beast, we Datang can surrender.

After Li Shimin inspected the island fiefdom, he came to South Asia.

The southern family knew of his arrival, and they also came to greet him.

Li Shimin only looked at the Ganges River basin and some offshore areas.

Too much careful inspection was not done, it was too draining.

There is also an old man in the south, Wang Qi, who gave Li Shimin a good report.

The huge map of South Asia was placed in front of Li Shimin, and Wang Jue told a good account of the customs and cultural progress of South Asia.

Li Shimin deliberately went to see Li An's territory, looked at the territory laid by his son, and showed a satisfied look, but he didn't spare Li An, so that he had time to care more about his mother.

Concubine Yang and the others stayed in the East China Sea, and they hated long sea trips.

Before leaving South Asia, Li Shimin went to a mass cemetery in South Asia.

There is a mass cemetery of the elders of the family here in South Asia.

It was built when the first group of old people from the family came over when they were still alive.

Those who live here are their descendants.

Because of the tradition of guarding the tomb, future generations could not easily leave the land.

To put it bluntly, the old people of the family use the rules of filial piety to tie their descendants to this land that grows three times a year.

Chen Shuda also slept here.

Li Shimin took everyone to give them three pillars of incense.

After leaving South Asia, Li Shimin wanted to go overland to Central Asia and go to the imperial cemetery.

The Imperial Cemetery was also inhabited in the past, and there were many forces entrenched, but in recent years it has been opened up by South and Central Asian families from both sides, and now it is undergoing a major transformation.

Li Shimin considered the distance of the road, and finally had to give up.

Although it is a pity, I am also very satisfied, at least I know that the outside world is very good.

After returning all the way to the East China Sea, Li Shimin took his concubines back to Chang'an.

When Li Shimin returned, Li Kuo accompanied the civil and military ministers outside to greet him.

On the third day of Li Shimin's return, Li Kuan came to report to Li Shimin with the twists and turns he had dealt with during this time.

"There's no need to report, Datang is fine, I didn't hear any gossip on the way back."

Li Shimin took the lean porridge made in the imperial dining room and said lightly.

He misses the seafood porridge a little bit.

The corners of Li Kuan's mouth twitched, and he said with difficulty: "Your Majesty, you better listen to it." ”

"In this world, you fought down."

Li Kuan is a little resentful, this Li Shimin, how can he do things so excessively, he has to be responsible for the country he has built.

With a chuckle, Li Shimin said lightly: "But didn't I pass on the throne to you, now it's your country." ”

For Li Shimin, it is also very cool to laugh at Li Kuan.
